Cao Xin was sentenced to the left guard, Liu Chenglin was sentenced to the right guard, Tu Lichun was commanded by the central army, You Yong was appointed as the commander of the military commander, Min Rou was appointed as the marching officer, Fu Wu, and Yin Xin, and also served as the commander of Li Ze's personal guard Yicong, and Li Mi was appointed as the deputy commander, who was responsible for the daily affairs of the personal guard Yicong. Others, such as Shi Zhuang, Li Rui, Li De, Li Hao, Li Han, Chen Changping, etc., all added the general's title and spread throughout the army. At this point, Li Ze completed the control of all the troops of Wuwei to ensure that they were loyal to themselves. On this basis, the old ministers of Chengde were reasonably arranged, and everyone was very happy. Li Ze also completed his military conception.

In terms of administration, under the Wuweijie Town Government, Xue Ping was appointed as the deputy envoy of Wuweijie Town. Of course, this deputy envoy was more of an honorary position. What Xue Ping could influence was only the ten thousand Shen Ce Army he brought, which was also a face to the court. Xue Ping became the deputy envoy of Wuweijie Town as the Minister of the Yellow Sect, and his qualifications were sufficient.

Zhang, the chief minister of Wuwei Academy, served as the chief secretary, and all the literary and literary affairs of Wuwei were taken by him. This position seemed to be just a position engaged in paperwork, but in fact he was Li Ze's first aide.

Chunyu Yue served as the chief officer and was in charge of the law. What surprised everyone was that Bai Mingli, an elderly official in Cangzhou, who had made great contributions when Li Ze attacked Cangzhou, was appointed as Chunyu Yue's deputy. Behind this appointment was that Li Ze wanted to use Bai Mingli's hands to carry out a large-scale cleanup and purification of the officials in Wuweijie Town. As an elderly official, Bai Mingli was very familiar with the activities between officials at the lowest level of the bureaucratic class.

For local officials, those who hold the actual power of affairs, have a greater impact on the people. Just like Bai Mingli, when he was in Cangzhou, he seemed to have no reputation, but secretly, he could easily shake the rule of a state, which made Li Ze wary.

One of the most unexpected appointments was that Xia He took office as the judge of Wuwei Jie Town, in charge of the entire Jie Town's money and food. This appointment was reasonable and somewhat unexpected. In fact, it was because Xia He had basically controlled Li Ze's financial power in the past, and her ability also convinced Li Ze and his men. Unexpectedly, the newly established Duzhi Department, which Xia He was the judge, had such great power that everyone was stunned.

The new Duzhi Department not only controls taxes, but also gives it the unified tax source and then coordinates finance, truly realizing the unity of the three, and actually controlling all administrative and financial affairs. In the court, these were originally completed by three different departments, restraining each other and trusting each other. This is more powerful than the court's Minister of Revenue. The Minister of Revenue is also subject to the sincere elbows of officials such as salt and iron transfer envoys, Duzhi envoys, etc. Now Xiahe is actually in one of the three powers.

Finance is a game of chess, which is the second core of Li Ze’s reform.

In the past, the states basically had their own self-sufficiency, and even reached out to Jiezhen when they were not enough. This is why many Jiezhen towns could not effectively control the governors who had real power under their command, and gradually formed a situation where they could not lose their limits. Just like the Jiezhen Town of Zhaoyi, in the end, the Jiezhen governor Xue Gong had to use external forces to stabilize his rule.

After the integrated finance, all income such as taxes and other income must be reported to the Jiezhen Du Branch Office. The annual estimated income and budget expenditure must be reported, and then the Jiezhen Du Branch Office will be arranged in a coordinated manner.

Such fiscal policies are naturally unhappy for big states like Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou, but they are happy to see other economically backward states, because they are originally in a situation where their income is not as good as expenditure. Eat food every year. If this is the case, it is equivalent to robbing the rich and helping the poor. If it is not enough, they can ask for it from Jiezhen, and Jiezhen will naturally allocate funds to them from wealthy states to ensure the normal operation of a state.

Of course, these dissatisfactions can only be buried in the heart. In Li Ze's eyes, wealthy places naturally need to help backward places develop and make progress together. Otherwise, the rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer.

The finance game is to integrate the resources of the entire town and use every penny on the blade.

The Duzhi Department has now become a huge department. Each state has a corresponding department within the Duzhi Department, which is specifically responsible for the review and approval of the revenue, budget, expenses, etc. of the state. In addition to auditing each state, the Duzhi Department also has such a department for each different army, auditing and allocating funds for military expenditures.

Correspondingly, Li Ze's significant improvement in the status of merchants was made. The supply and marketing cooperative established with Yixingtang as the main body was officially included in the official system. Tuhu was managed by Sima, a 5th-rank official town. All the franchise powers such as salt and iron were all included in the supply and marketing cooperative. More importantly, the supply and marketing cooperative not only monopolizes the specialized strategic materials, but also has the right to pricing for ordinary goods. Any price fluctuations, without the approval of the supply and marketing cooperative, is illegal.

It can be expected that in the future, the supply and marketing cooperative will use its official power, huge financial strength, and logistics convenience to compress the profit margins of ordinary merchants step by step to gain greater benefits from it.

Of course, Li Ze knew that such behavior would greatly suppress the more dynamic market economy, and even had an adverse impact on market vitality and normal competition. However, it is obvious that this planned economy would be more beneficial for him to concentrate all his strength and win the current war of life and death first.

He always put himself in the position of a weak man and had to do his best to fight Zhang Zhongwu. After taking over this biggest enemy, many policies can be relaxed step by step.

Because only at that time can he have time and space to adjust policies step by step.

Now, he needs to gather all resources, even if it will harm the interests of other people, he will do whatever he wants.

The most loss of such a planned economy is of course the original huge merchants, but for ordinary people, they can still gain great benefits in a short period of time.

To give the simplest example, under the planned economy, grain, which is the most fundamental thing that concerns the fundamentals, Wuwei Jie Town has achieved price coordination. Whether it is a bumper season or a period of inconsistent green and yellow, the price of grain will never rise or fall by more than 5%.

What Li Ze could imagine was that in the next time, more small merchants would no longer be able to operate in the run of supply and marketing cooperatives, and many people would be merged or went bankrupt by supply and marketing cooperatives.

This may have some adverse effects and will have a considerable impact on social stability, but during the war, Li Ze did not care. In this era of underdeveloped business economy, a strong planned economy, whether it is its own rule or the stability of people's livelihood, has more benefits than disadvantages.

Under such a system, business behaviors like Tunji Juqi will no longer exist.

This is Li Ze's economic game.

And in the end, there is an administrative game of chess.

Not only was the governor of the person in charge appointed by Jiezhen himself, but the appointment power of the county chief officials was also taken back to Jiezhen. Although these local chief officials were responsible to the highest officials of the local state in administrative terms, they were all under Jiezhen's management and the governor of the state had no authority to appoint and remove them.

This further compresses the power of a state governor.

After the military power of the governor was cancelled, his personnel appointment and removal power was cancelled, and the qualifications of the governors in the area to coerce the towns were completely eliminated. If you want to do this, you must also have the county magistrates and other officials below willing to follow you! And taking different positions has become the fundamental guarantee to ensure that this policy can be implemented to the end. When every county magistrate takes office, he will carry a task, which is to measure the land and clean up the household registration.

It is basically impossible to complete such a task and cooperate with local tyrants and rich gentry. What these county magistrates can rely on is not only the administrative power in their hands, but also have to rely on the local power of Yixingshe. Yixingshe also took advantage of this and slowly took root in the local area, starting from the grassroots level to dig out the foundations of those powerful gentry bit by bit, and finally made the big tree unbearable and collapsed.

In short, the ultimate goal of all the reforms Li Ze has done is only one, that is, a high degree of centralization. When the powers of the army, finance, administration and other powers are infinitely concentrated towards the town centered on him, whatever he wants to do will be invincible.

Of course, after depriving the local governors of so much power, Li Ze also gave them compensation in another aspect, that is, to be promoted to the title.

The official position of each governor is certain, but the title of a single official can be promoted. Therefore, most of the old governors, such as Yuan Zhou and Yang Wei, were suddenly greatly promoted and all jumped to the third rank. You should know that even Li Ze is only a third rank. Although this is just a virtual title, it greatly improved the identity and lintel of these people, and also provided them with the key to entering the door in the future.

There was a Tang Dynasty. From the eighth grade to the seventh grade, it was a big hurdle, from the seventh grade to the fifth grade, it was another big hurdle, and from the fifth grade to the third grade, it was even rarer. Among the 1,000 officials, not one person could reach this point.

Most of the people under Li Ze's command are still extremely optimistic about this new tycoon. It is an indisputable fact that the decline of the imperial court is. Once Wuwei Jiezhen achieves something in the future, the status they have gained today will be the stepping stone for the future.

Under Li Ze's command, civil officials and military generals gathered in Wuyi for more than half a month, but the real meeting time was only one day. The so-called meeting means that Li Ze and all the officials gathered together and announced a decision. Before that, everything had been decided in a small conversation and the meeting was decided.
Chapter completed!
