Although Xu Shiyang asked every man over 14 years old to be considered a soldier and brought his own weapons to join the army when the sect leader needed it.

However, Xu Shiyang only allowed them to equip weapons that were two eras behind: the most advanced firearms can only be mesoft guns, and whether they are shotguns or standard 1 does not matter. The price of muskets and gunpowder sold to foreigners must be increased as appropriate. It is not allowed to be sold at a fair price, nor is it allowed to be allowed to sell firearms and gunpowder at will. The civilians must report to the local government for private sale of gunpowder weapons.

In this way, the main weapons of foreign tribe soldiers will remain at the level of cold weapons.

Of course, although we cannot compete with the Qi army, given the steel and armor production capacity of Qi State, these tribes can still improve their equipment level compared to the era when iron tools were more expensive than ginseng mink fur.

In order to educate these barbarians as soon as possible, Xu Shiyang planned to vigorously promote Confucian education in foreign tribes, cultivate the idea of ​​ignorance among young people in the tribe, and select some young people with excellent academic performance to study in Quancheng every year through the situation of the eight-legged essay.

After graduation in the future, these people will return to their tribes, and Qi will support them to become new tribal rulers.

Of course, Xu Shiyang will clearly require that science education be not be promoted like them, and science and engineering education will be strictly limited to the fair people of Qi State.

For outsiders, just read the saint's classics honestly.

In addition, corresponding to the foreign tribes, the common people and slaves of Qi State are not allowed to have good firearms. If they purchase flintlock guns or firing guns, they must have civilian qualifications or above.

After the above series of reform measures are completed, the Qi Army will have 150,000 to 160,000 permanent field troops and 30,000 navy troops, and can mobilize 300,000 reserve troops and more than 1 million militias.

There were 12,000 soldiers from foreign tribes and 23,000 Korean soldiers.

The overall mobilization ability of internal and external forces exceeds 1.5 million. Even in a unified and powerful feudal dynasty, this is a terrifying number. Moreover, Qi State actually only has five provinces now, so this situation can be said to be too full of martial ethics.

...

The joint meeting between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works was held intermittently from early November to mid-December. The general framework of the military reform was only established. The rest were the specific implementation details. Xu Shiyang himself did not need to be too concerned about this. The General Staff Department and field units at all levels could do their own work well.

However, the military reform meeting of the Ministry of War did not mean that all meetings were over.

Due to the issue of King Qi ascending the throne next year, this year's conference season is particularly busy. Xu Shiyang also has to participate in the construction of the state regime, the selection of the country and year names, the selection of the date of the ascendance, and other issues.

In addition, there are regular annual summary and next year's plans...

It's so busy.

Fortunately, everyone has a lot of experience in routine work, so just follow the steps.

Regarding the work of King Qi ascending the throne, Qi has also made a lot of preparations in secret in recent years - after all, everyone knows that this is a matter of time, and everyone is looking forward to this day so that they can rise step by step with the King Qi ascending the throne.

In fact, it was Xu Shiyang who really brought trouble to the work of ascending the throne.

For example, when talking about the issue of national title, everyone thought that the Great Qi was good, but Xu Shiyang pointed out that Qi had never unified the world in history, and at most it was just a local regime.

Qi, the leader of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, was also a country with no enterprising spirit. These temperaments were inconsistent with the future national strategy, so the opposition country was directly called Da Qi.

Xu Shiyang's opinion was that in order to show that this dynasty is unique and will not repeat the mistakes of the decline and demise of previous dynasties, he simply named the country "Huaxia".

The name of the first character is changed to two characters, and the national unity directly traces back to the beginning of the nation, implying that this dynasty was not newly established, but inherited from the ancestors of the nation.

Xu Shiyang's request sounds far-fetched, but King Qi himself likes the title that infinitely elevates his dynasty to the same level as the nation.

So it was decided that the name of the New Dynasty was Huaxia, and the year name was traced back to the first year of the Republic with a clear era in China as the benchmark, and the next year was the year of the Republic 1790.

Xu Shiyang's idea was to use the Republic as the reign. The internal explanation was that this could dilute the stigma of King Qi's use of his subordinates to seize the imperial power of the Great Zhou - we inherited our ancestors and recreated China, not usurped the imperial power of the Great Zhou.

The biggest supporter of this suggestion is King Qi himself, because Xu Shiyang privately hinted that he and his descendants would not change the year name, and the title of the emperor will be simplified into Republic I, Republic II, Third and Fourth... In this order, the emperor's personality in terms of title will be greatly compressed in the future, and Xu Muhe, the Republic I, will undoubtedly become the most eye-catching existence in history books.

I have to say that Xu Shiyang knew too much about what his father wanted, so he could use his preferences and use some plausible reasons to instill his own ideas into Xu Muhe.

With the support of King Qi himself, it will be difficult for others to reverse Xu Shiyang's opinions.

Naturally, when Xu Shiyang raised the issue of the national flag, everyone finally accepted his opinion: red background, black twelve-pointed stars set with blue moon set with yellow sun flag.

The flag symbolizes the brightness of the sky, and also symbolizes the achievements of the New Dynasty in saving China in the hands of the barbarians and recreating China (bringing a better tomorrow for China).

The official registration date is selected on February 19, 2019.

Because every February and August, the sun will rise in the east and set in the west, and the sun symbolizes imperial power.

As for the day of Jiazi, it is because Jia and Zi rank first in the heavenly stems and earthly branches respectively, and Jia and Zi both correspond to the "nine" number, and "nine" is the number of heaven.

Finally, it is said that after King Wu defeated Zhou, he chose the world in Jiazi in February. King Qi specially chose this date, and it also has the meaning of adapting to the number of days and ancestors.

After that, the legal system, virtuous, musical system, cultural system, etc. of the New Dynasty were originally based on Qi, and it was nothing more than more concrete and large-scale, so it was soon confirmed.

The only twists and turns during this period was that Xu Shiyang insisted on mixing his own private goods and demanded that the cabinet responsibility system be implemented in the Xin Dynasty:

As the leader of the world, the Prime Minister has all the state affairs.

As the heir to the throne, the crown prince studied and assisted in state affairs.

A prime minister who also serves as the tutor of the prince is not only the emperor's main aid to govern the government, but also the prince's teacher (class teacher).

Two ministers, the crown prince's young tutor, and six ministers.

There are 11 people in the cabinet. If you give an example, these people will be the "rostrum" of the new dynasty.

Of course, this is a feudal dynasty after all, and the emperor and the prince are still high above all else.
