By the time Li Yunze arrived, his success in destroying Tubo was enough to make him dominate the world.

Riding on this momentum, the first thing Li Yunze did after returning to Chang'an City was to restructure the administrative region.

Except for the Protectorate in the border areas, all the other provinces were converted into provinces, and the Provincial Envoys were set up to take charge of administrative affairs within the provinces.

At the same time, the judicial power of each province, state, and county was taken back, and new yamen were established respectively by the Dali Temple Supervisory Office of the Ministry of Justice.

To put it simply, the administrative power and judicial power of the vassal towns in various places were taken away.

As for financial power and military power, they have not been touched yet.

Because the steps are too big, it is easy to lose track.

Local governments unanimously opposed this change because it weakened their power.

But the DPRK and China all supported it because it expanded the power of the DPRK and China.

After Li Yunze made a decision on these matters, he handed them over to the cabinet ministers to handle.

The purpose of setting up so many ministers is not to earn their salaries, but to perform official duties.

At the same time, the Chief Secretary and the new judicial and supervisory system have vacated a large number of positions that need to be filled.

Li Yunze set up imperial examinations on a large scale to recruit talents from all over the world to fill the vacancies.

The imperial examinations he held were no longer the kind that only recruited a few people at a time, but often hundreds.

Naturally, most of them were from common people, and no matter how poor they were, they were also from poor families.

No one knows the dangers of powerful families better than him, and of course he will not give them another chance to expand their power.

If Huang Chaosheng were born in this era, Li Yunze would never let him fail the ranking.

Things were arranged in this way on the broad level, but on a more detailed level, retired sergeants were gradually mobilized to serve as patrol officers in villages one after another.

These outsiders have little local connections, so they are most suitable for taking away judicial power from the old clan forces in the countryside.

After doing something like this, there will naturally be resistance.

During the imperial examination, there were all kinds of actions, from greetings to arranging manpower and even outright cheating.

In response, Li Yunze launched the first major imperial examination case in history, and all relevant personnel were imprisoned to eat rotten food.

The candidates suspected of being involved will be rejected or not!

Anyone who objects at the local level will be dismissed directly.

What drove retired soldiers out of rural villages, and even killed them, was directly the result of the army moving in to uproot the clan power.

Use thunderous means to eliminate disadvantages.
