Xu Zi first received a letter of complaint and a letter of praise from the main gate of the other courtyard. It was extremely difficult to call the letter of the Political Affairs Hall.

There were twenty-three roads in the Great Wei Dynasty, more than ten prefectures, more than 400 prefectures, and more than 2,100 counties. The capital was the main one in the north. Therefore, the ancient capital of Yan lived in a beautiful place on the northern plains. With the Great Wall as the boundary, the Hu people divided them and controlled them.

The Northern Barbarians, that is, the Mongolian tribes, were once awesome. They also invaded the south before and after the founding of the Great Wei Kingdom. They were defeated by Taizu of the Great Wei Kingdom and failed to succeed. They gradually declined and have now become second-rate characters.

Donghu is a gathering of the tribes in Liaodong, a gathering of nomadic and fishing and hunting nations, an emerging force, and extremely powerful. The former powerful Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by it, with only the remaining land on the peninsula, and survived.

The Western Qiang, the Qiang people, were originally from the Western Regions, and the loose alliances of the remnants of the Tubo. They had a small number of elite cavalry and a large number of nomadic light cavalry. They were unable to attack Wei, but they often attacked the border with the Northern Lu, causing the Hedong Road, Yongxing Jun Road, and Qinfeng Road of the Great Wei to be exhausted because of them.

In addition to the northern routes and army, there are also Chengdu Prefectures, Jiangling Prefecture and other major prefectures, Huaidong, Huaixi, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, Yunnan North Road and other routes.

According to Xu Zixian's understanding, the Great Wei territory was to regain most of Yanyun and Xixia territory, and add part of Yunnan, which was considered an enhanced version of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The people were between 150 million people. The Wei Dynasty could not help but merge land, the industry and commerce were developed, and the military system was relatively strict. The central imperial guards and local wing troops were planned in a complete manner. There was no governor in each line. The establishment of a military general was still based on civilized military affairs. However, the status of military generals was not too low. This was due to the ancestral system set up by Taizu, which set up martial arts schools, took the Wu Juren and the Wu Jinshi. By the Chongde period, nine of the ten generals were from military disciplines, and they were officials of the royal family. Generally speaking, they had to lock the halls and take the exam, and they were both civil and military, so the status of military officers was not low.

In terms of taxes, there are also many taxes, but they are attacked from all sides and spend a lot of money, and they are still in a hurry to lose money.

Such a large country, with more than twenty provinces, hundreds of military prefectures, more than two thousand counties, and billions of subjects, the Political Affairs Hall is a left prime minister, the official position is the Central Secretariat of the Secretariat, the Right Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister, the Left Prime Minister, and three to four officials, but there is no subordinate province. It has a Censorate, and a Censorate Council and the Censorate.

There is also the Privy Council, which is in charge of military affairs. The Ministry of War among the six ministries maintains military affairs. The local situation is similar. For example, the commander and the appeasement envoy is in charge of military affairs. It is necessary to set up a Grand Governor's Office in the area, such as Jiangling Grand Governor's Office, Guangzhou Grand Governor's Office, and Fuzhou Grand Governor's Office in charge of local military affairs and coordinate the coordination of the garrison of the Xiang army. The Grand Governor's Office in various places is also the configuration of the imperial court in the important local checks and balances of the Pacification Envoy Department. Otherwise, even the local military and political power is in charge of Jiangling, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, where the densely populated areas and developed foreign trade and industry are well-developed, the situation will be quite dangerous once the ministers are controlled by ministers.

The royal family had to come out to do business, serve the country, and form checks and balances with the ministers. This was also the ancestral system. Taizu's trick to govern the country was obviously much better than raising the royal family as a waste. However, during the Chongde period, he relied more on the ministers and had more precautions and suppressed the royal family. This was also because the emperor was born in a foreign vassal and was more wary of the royal family and was very relieved.

Think about it, as the successor to the throne with foreign vassals, the principle and law of small sects inherit the major sects. It is inevitable that some royal families will have unfaithful intentions. Since the Zhao Mansion is OK, why can't other families do it?

In terms of bloodline, there were more than a dozen princes in the generation of King Zhao, either of whom were granted kings or dukes and marquis, and any of them were qualified.

The emperor's guardianship and suppression are not without cause.

Fortunately, Xu Zixian was a successful man. He beheaded more than 70 levels and could not suppress anyone's credit for killing the bandits. When he reported to the Political Affairs Hall, the right prime minister Xu Xiashang fought for him. Not only was he promoted to the third-rank general Zhaowu, but he was also able to practice military and political training as a prince who had not inherited the title. In addition to the anti-theft matter, he was given the actual position of Fuzhou Prefecture's regiment training. In recent decades, it has been a rare reward in the court, which is an exception.

There were many viewers around. When Xu Zi first received a letter in front of the gate of the Wukaijian villa, bowed and thanked him, and then received a letter from the comforting envoy. For a moment, firecrackers sounded and cheers rang one after another.

"It seems that Mingda is quite popular in the other courtyard." Xu Xingwei was very pleased, smiled and praised a few words, and said to Li Yi and others: "All the lords and sirs in the Marquis' Mansion have also made great efforts."

Of course, Li Yi and others thanked him. The house was indeed pretty good in the town. Xu Yingbin didn't talk about the airs and had no money. After getting rid of Li Cheng and his son, he took care of Dingkou, whether it was a formal or a hidden household in Guanzhuang, and the income of the Hou Mansion was reduced a lot. However, the income was taken away by Qishan behind Li Chenghe. Now the income belonged to the Hou Mansion. Kong He and others were still calculating the details, but the income of tens of thousands of yuan a year could not be lost.

Such an income is a great help to the Marquis' Mansion. Compared with Xu Yingbin and the first generation of Nan'an Marquis, Nan'an Marquis' Mansion is proud.

But it’s pitiful, tens of thousands of yuan a year, which sounds good, but which family does not have this income in the mansion of Duke and Marquis? There are many people with hundreds of thousands of yuan in their family.

Of course, there are also poor mansions, most of which are squandering. No matter how much assets you have, you can't stand the children and grandchildren's waste. Jiangling and the royal family in the capital are not as pragmatic as Fuzhou. There are many bankrupt marquis' houses. If the royal family is good at accumulating, all of them have huge wealth and sufficient manpower and financial resources, I am afraid that the court will be uneasy again.

Because the Hou Mansion is good at governing, many of the official households have reduced their burdens, and Xu Zixian's reputation suddenly became popular.

The appointment of Li Yi, Kong He and others is also very effective. In addition, the newly appointed banker all chooses cautious and honest people, and the fact that bullies men and women is extinct. In this way, Xu Zixian has a higher reputation.

In addition, the articles were spreading, killing bandits, and in terms of prestige, Xu Zixian now blocked Xu Yingbin and even surpassed his unpromising grandfather.

"It's too early to say anything now." Xu Zixian didn't expect that King Qi actually recommended him as a team training envoy.

This position was fully called the Tuanlian Guardian during the Tang and Song dynasties. The position was under the Jiedushi. The vassal states were also used as the governor, and the main responsibility was to command local guardians. It was initially established in the Tang Dynasty, and later became the Dutuian Envoy, and then the Dutuian Envoy was used as the Jieduian Envoy. This is the origin of the Jieduian Envoy.

After the founding of the Great Wei Kingdom, the main responsibility of the regiment training envoy was to train local township soldiers as reserves. Once there was a war, the regiment training envoy could lead his troops to fight and be the reserve of the regular soldiers.

Later, the state dynasty was generally settled, and the regiment training gradually became a virtual position, and it was only established in some places where war was concerned, and some royal children were given the opportunity to train. As the situation changed, even this situation became rare.

With this fifth-rank official position, Xu Zixian can recruit civilians and strong soldiers in Nan'anze Town, Shuikou and Gukou areas to train to become strong soldiers, defend against pirates, and maintain peace. It is really a public-private and private place.

For Xu Zixian, he could have put the courtyard as the center, with several nearby towns with many businesses and travelers, and hundreds of villages, and gradually built it into a territory that was difficult to enter through storms. This was equivalent to having the capital to start a business, which was very cost-effective and much faster and easier than his original idea.

Xu Zixian gradually realized that this dynasty did not have any dispatched officials such as governors and governors, which made the local power more powerful. Although it was not said that it gradually became a vassal state, local officials had great power, including military power, which was much greater than that of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Many things, including recruiting subordinates, can not only do the royal family, but also the officials. On the surface, Fujian is calm and has clear government orders, but from the situation where no one cares about external threats and internal refugees, the current peace is just on the surface. In fact, there are many political parties and endless internal struggles. All forces are still fighting in literature. Once the center is powerless, for example, the capital's control over the local area is getting weaker and weaker, the fighting in literature may instantly turn into a military struggle.

This also made Xu Zixian realize it. It seemed that his thoughts in his previous life were really shallow. Many things could only be seen on the surface and could not be analyzed in depth.

"With this position, Mingda can show his strength." Wei Yi followed Xu Zixian and others into the courtyard, looked at the gate and the main courtyard hall, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He still smiled at Xu Zixian and said, "I don't know how many soldiers Mingda plans to recruit, and when will it start?"

"I have a lot of things to do, but I really don't know how to do it for a moment?" Xu Zi thought for a while and said, "I have to recruit the third battalion soldiers and then establish the Yidu cavalry."

"Good guy." Xu Xingwei was a soldier. He said, "Let's calculate the accounts for you. The two battalions have 1,500 soldiers, and the monthly food expenses are at least two guan, which is 3,000 guan. Because they are regiment training and not regular soldiers, they have to be trained to serve in the army. The two guan cost is at least three guan per month, but it is another 3,000 guan. And there are cavalrymen, which can be maintained at least one 1,500 guan. In addition, the miscellaneous expenses are at least eight guan per month, and ninety-two thousand guan per year. What do you plan to raise this money?"

Xu Xingwei said in the end, his face was solemn.

After thinking about it, seeing that there were no outsiders around, he whispered: "When Lin Douyao came down to ask King Qi and King Zhao whether to pay military salaries on a monthly basis. Li Gu of the Zhao Mansion had already given the idea for King Zhao, and on the excuse of training and guarding the village, he would give you the power to raise funds on the spot and pay the big merchants. If this matter is not done well, he will stab the hornet's nest, and he will not get the money and be stung all over the head."

Xu Zixian nodded slightly. He knew that Li Gu, a famous straitor and the most trusted strategist of King Zhao, also praised himself as Zhuge Wuhou. Of course, this was a taboo thing. Li Gu himself had never said it, but others had figured it out from his words and attitudes.

The orderly training of the guards and captures is to prevent local theft, and the management of local troops is also to manage local troops. At the beginning of the Great Wei Dynasty, there are training in various places. They put forward money from the local tax deeds, door taxes, and contracts to be responsible for the expenses.

For example, the state's regular taxes, whether it is money or grain, are placed in Changping warehouses, and are managed by Changping envoys. Without a political hall or imperial edict, it is impossible to move. Most of the money and grains are the three central commanders responsible for the adjustment, and are responsible for the distribution of military salaries of the imperial guards and navy troops on Fujian Road, including the salaries of officials, which are also deducted from this department.

Originally, there were public funds from various government agencies. In recent decades, the country's use has increased day by day and insufficient taxes. The three departments have left less and less money to the local area. A while ago, Yang Shiwei, Zheng Liqi, Han Bingzhong and others fought for tens of thousands of yuan in money. If the local area was rich a hundred years ago, it would become a joke.

Local taxes are responsible for local affairs, such as the daily expenses of the Xiang army, repairing bridges and roads, and repairing yamen. Those who are not in the yamen are also paid by local income. Fujian is still rich, and the local contracted dental tax revenue is quite large. However, the army is prosperous, with dozens of battalions plus local expenditures, and the annual expenses are three to four million jin, which is also a waste of local income.

Not to mention that King Zhao intentionally made things difficult for the Grand Governor's Office, even if he is not, he wants to pay tens of thousands of yuan for Xu Zi to organize a group training first. This is absolutely impossible.
