Wang Shao agreed, and Ouyang Bian looked at Su Che and Zhang Dun, who were big bosses of the Secretariat, one of the Secretariat and the other of the Secretariat.

Zhang Dun smiled: "I have no objection."

Su Che glanced at Zhang Dun and shook his head gently: "I reserve my opinion on this matter, but I will not delay what should be prepared."

Ouyang Bian laughed: "Ziyou don't have to worry. Even if this matter cannot be done, the fundamentals will not collapse. However, regarding the issue of talent introduction, it should be taken seriously. I don't want to occupy these places and do not have officials to manage them, that would be too bad."

Su Che smiled bitterly: "This is a big problem."

All the officials also smiled bitterly. This was indeed a big problem. Xixia was expanding too quickly. After swallowing such a large territory as the Sixth Road in Shaanxi, they had to focus their attention on the territory north of the Huai River in the Song Dynasty. They were almost as big as the Xixia. Moreover, the officials needed were of several levels of magnitude. This is not a cultural gathering place like Jiangnan. Where can I find so many elite scholars to be officials?

Ouyang Bian also smiled bitterly. He never thought that he might have problems in the economy and in the army before, but he never thought that the number of officials would have problems. Even if there were, it would be too many. However, after the Song Dynasty, he realized that the resources of the Song Dynasty's civil servants were the most precious things in the world!

Yes, the literati of the Song Dynasty were the most elite class in the world today, and this is true for any country in the world.

Even in later generations, China's civil and bureaucratic group was the most outstanding in the world, including the top developed Western countries.

If the literati of the Song Dynasty in this era were willing to export labor, they would be treated very well no matter which country they were in.

This is the current situation.

However, the literati of the Song Dynasty were also very arrogant. They were in Bianjing, so how could they envy Rome?

However, I guess there will be no big problems in the future. All officials also have old friends. As long as they are brought over, the problems will not be too big in the short term.

Of course, the main ones are the central bank officials. This part of the group has the largest number of people, and they are technical bureaucrats. Their economic talents are the best. Daxia is in a mess and needs such talents to participate in the business.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Bian turned to Wang Shao and said, "Shangshu Wang, when the war begins, I want to make a request to you."

"Please say it, Your Majesty."

Ouyang Bian nodded and said, "I hope that every time you occupy a place, it is best to intercept the officials and send them back to Chang'an in a concentrated manner."

Wang Shao couldn't smile bitterly: "Your Majesty wants to persuade them to join Xia?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "As long as half of them are willing to surrender, then our pressure will be much less."

Su Che thoughtfully said, "I'm afraid that someone will disrespect Your Majesty at that time."

Ouyang Bian waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? It won't hurt if you scold me. Can I still not see through this?

As long as officials with far-sighted visions, they will definitely understand that the Daxia Dynasty is the future of China. The world has been divided for too long and should have been reunited. The Liao and Song dynasties cannot take on such a heavy responsibility. Only our Daxia has such ability. If they see this clearly, they will not resist joining Daxia."

Ouyang Bian smiled and continued, "It's funny to say that we are hostile to the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty wants to become our largest talent base. This is amazing."

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "This shows that Daxia is the general trend!"

All the officials laughed.

To prepare for a war of such a level, there is a lot of work to prepare. After lunch, everyone gathered together and began to coordinate in all aspects.

The Ministry of Revenue prepares food and weapons, the Ministry of War is responsible for the selection of soldiers and generals, the Ministry of Personnel is preparing to capture the land, the Ministry of Rites needs to carry out publicity work, and the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works also needs to do its own work.

War is a major event for the country. Once the war comes together, all departments of the entire country must serve the war.

Ouyang Bian re-established the power structure of Daxia as a system of three provinces and six ministries. The advantage is that he proposed the idea of ​​fighting such a battle and provided strategic ideas for this. He did not have to worry about the next thing. The three provinces and six ministries with very clear powers will plan everything clearly and provide it to Ouyang Bian for a look.

So when the entire court was rushing like a sophisticated machine, Ouyang Bian was able to return to his residence to reunite with his family.

The place where he lives now was a royal palace during the Tang Dynasty. Because it was well preserved, it was expropriated as Ouyang Bian's temporary residence, and it was estimated that it would take a long time to live.

The construction of the palace is not a simple matter, nor can it be built in a short time. Fortunately, the palace is wide enough, and it can be lived in after a little repair.

When Ouyang Bian returned home, it was already evening. He did not work overtime tonight, but he arrived only when it was dark. Tonight was the Ouyang family's family dinner and the birthday party of his old mother, Mrs. Xue, so Ouyang Bian had to come back early.

Ouyang Bian took off his dragon robe and changed into casual clothes before coming to the living room. There were already many people in the living room.

Ouyang Fa family, Ouyang Yi family, Ouyang Wei family, Ouyang Bian family, and the old mother Mrs. Xue, who is already gray-haired.

When Ouyang Bian appeared, no one said anything. The eldest brother Ouyang laughed and said, "The youngest is back."

So there were various titles such as "uncle" and "dad" and "husband". There was no politeness between them. Although Ouyang Bian became the emperor, he was still the little monk at home.

All officials of the court suggested that they would grant the title of prince to Ouyang Bian's brothers, to Ouyang Xiu's title of God, and to Ouyang Bian's son Ouyang Mao's title of prince, to keep all the memorials and not send them, which made the ministers a little at a loss.

But Ouyang Bian still arranged official positions for all three brothers, and made some improvements in official positions during the Song Dynasty, but overall, their hobbies were still the main focus.

Ouyang Fa likes to study, so he goes to work in the museum. Ouyang Yi likes to have fun and enjoys it, so he goes to the Ministry of Works. Ouyang Fen likes military affairs, so he goes to the Ministry of War.

Many nephews are still studying now, and Ouyang Bian asked them to continue studying and then take the imperial examination.

In the future, if you like to do research, you will do research, if you like to be an official, you will become an official, and if you like to be an idle person, you will be a lie down.

Anyway, most of the wealth accumulated by Ouyang Bian was transferred to the treasury, and a small part of the wealth left was also huge, and there were also many industries, enough for the Ouyang family to spend.

In the Ouyang family, only Fu Jianjia was named a queen, and no one else was rewarded, including Mrs. Xue.

Of course, there are not no complaints. A few sisters-in-law complained that they still wanted to be princesses. They mentioned it several times with their husbands, but Ouyang Fa and the others were not willing to argue with Ouyang.

After a family had a lively meal, Mrs. Xue was old and said she was a little tired and wanted to go to the back garden to have Ouyang Bian accompany her.

Seeing the mother and son go to the back garden, Ouyang Bian's sister-in-law exchanged a happy expression with each other.

Back garden.

Spring has not arrived yet, and there is actually nothing good to look at in the garden. Only a few wintersweet trees can be regarded as viewing. Ouyang Bian walked carefully with his mother's hand.

Mrs. Xue looked at the wintersweet under the lamp and smiled and said, "Little monk, are you very tired recently?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Actually, it's okay. I'm used to this intensity of work. I have to share the burden with three provinces and six ministries. I don't have much work to my side."

Mrs. Xue is Xue Kui's daughter and a family of officials. Naturally, she knows the ways inside and nods with a smile: "Little monk, I don't understand your actions since you ascended the throne."

Ouyang Bian said: "What does mother mean?"

Mrs. Xue looked up at Ouyang Bian's eyes and said, "The officials should have mentioned to you various rewards about the family members, right?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "What they must mention is that the new emperor who has changed dynasties will be granted by ancestors, parents, brothers and sisters, and children and nephews will be granted by them, which is nothing more than the title."

"Then what is the reason why you don't seal it?"

Mrs. Xue looked at Ouyang Bian seriously.

Ouyang Bian smiled and patted Mrs. Xue's arm and said, "Mom, you know my temperament. Actually, I don't want to be this emperor either. What I want is not like, but now it's just starting out, everyone's thoughts are still not improving, so I can only be it, but after me, there will be no emperor or royal family.

If Maoer and the next generation, if they have the ability, I will not stop them from becoming high-ranking officials, but if they do not have the ability, it will not be a good thing for them.

Their resources are already very good. Isn’t it a very happy thing to study hard and do what you like?

There is nothing to do in the royal family. They cannot hold real positions and can only be rich and idle people. If they really want to be rich and idle people, it's all right now."

Mrs. Xue nodded: "I have always been willing to listen to your words. When your father was alive, he often told me, "Young monk, your talent is rare in the world. Your long-term vision is not something that a woman like your mother and me can do. However, your sister-in-law still hopes to get a title for their sons."

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile: "Mom, I think it's better for them to experience it well and rely on their own abilities to get an official position, so that their future will be better."

Mrs. Xue smiled and shook her head: "Your temper is still so stubborn. Forget it, I don't care. You can explain it to your sister-in-law."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Yes, let me solve this matter. You should raise flowers and grass well, and see how your son can conquer the country and bring good life to the people. The prosperous times that my father wanted to see before will appear in my hands. When you go to see his father, you will be able to tell him well."

Mrs. Xue was so amused and crying: "You child are still so unrestrained, so how could you curse your mother like this?"

Ouyang Bian quickly slapped himself in the mouth: "My fault, my fault!"

Mrs. Xue couldn't help laughing.

The mother and son returned to the living room, and everyone was still there. Several sisters-in-law looked at Ouyang Bian expectantly. Ouyang Bian patted his mother's arm gently, turned his head to Fu Jianjia and said, "You send your mother to rest."

Fu Jianjia quickly took it over and helped Mrs. Xue to rest in the backyard.

Ouyang Bian said: "Come on, brothers, sisters-in-law, and you little ones, sit down. Let's watch a family meeting tonight, and everyone is just around the corner. You have come from the Song Dynasty to the present, so we don't have time to sit down and have a chat."

Ouyang Fa and others nodded and sat down.

Ouyang Bian said: "Brothers and sisters-in-law, it's my fault that you have to leave your hometown because I'm so tired that you have to leave your hometown. I want to apologize to you."

Several brothers and sisters-in-law looked at each other.

Ouyang Fa said: "Young brother, are you?"

Ouyang Bian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I have something to say next. As a big brother, please listen and say it if you have any opinions."

Ouyang Fa nodded: "You said."

Several sisters-in-law suddenly had an unknown premonition.

Ouyang Bian said: "A few brothers, you probably know that when I was a teenager, I wrote about establishing my heart for the world, establishing my destiny for the people, inheriting my unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening peace for all ages. You should know this."

Ouyang Fa nodded: "Of course I know this."

Ouyang Bian nodded: "I did the same, so I changed in the Song Dynasty, and the reform was fruitless. So I pretended to die and came to Daxia to establish an army, seize the power of the Dangxiang people. Now I want to annex the Song Dynasty and then build a powerful country."

Ouyang Fa and his brothers nodded, and their nephews even showed admiration.

"...The country I envisioned should be a country that establishes its destiny for the people, and the emperor should be the least of all people. All people should have the right to decide their own destiny.

Brother, you like to study classics, and you should have studied these codes of the Daxia Constitution?"

Ouyang Fa nodded: "That's right, several codes do consider the people everywhere, and can be called establishing their lives for the people."

Ouyang Bian smiled: "The emperor, the royal family, is no different from those big landlords, and he is even the largest landlord in the world.

It is the most unfair and the least that should exist for people in the world to support one family."

The sister-in-law looked a little panicked.

Ouyang Fa and his brothers showed a look of agreement.

"Our fathers have been seeking to change the Song Dynasty and make the people of the world live a good life, but the royal family and the emperor will not be willing to change for their own interests, because they are vested interests.

The reason I became this emperor is because Daxia needs it now, and the people who rebel with me need it, when this does not mean that this is right.

In order to overthrow the Zhao family, I will not set up an Ouyang family again. If that happens, there will be no difference between Daxia and Dasong."
