"Your Majesty, King Zhao has entered Guanzhong."

In the Hanjing and Changle Palace in the North Palace, Li Shimin was wearing a Taoist robe, kneeling in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun, holding a volume of Tao Te Ching in his hand. He heard this and just nodded.

Wang Chengen bowed and continued to report in a low voice, "The crown prince has issued an edict a few days ago, officially increasing the number of vassals' territorial troops and increasing the territorial tax revenue of the princes to half. At the imperial meeting, most of the prime ministers of the Third Court agreed. The Secretariat's subordinates have also used seals!"

"Who agrees and who object?"

In front of Laojun's statue, Li Shimin finally spoke.

"Changsun Prime Minister and Wei Prime Minister oppose it."

"Are only two people opposed?" Li Shimin seemed to murmur to himself, and then asked, "What else?"

"Also, the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Prime Minister Fang, has resigned from the prince, saying that he has served for two ten years."

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor closed his eyes again, and continued, "The prince has been changed to the position of the Minister of the Jung-secretariat."

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded softly and signaled him to continue.

"Your Highness appointed Changsun Prime Minister as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat at the meeting of the imperial front, and Ma Zhou changed his position to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat."

"Where is the high-level?"

"Gao Xiang begs his bones to retire on the grounds of his old age. His Highness has accepted Gao Xiang's resignation after he tried to keep them three times."

"Also, Yang Xiang also formally submitted his resignation and requested his resignation to return home. His Royal Highness, as usual, accepted his resignation after he tried to stay."

Shangshu Ling Gao Shilian and Shangshu's Right Pushe Yang Gongren resigned together, and two more old ministers were missing in the court.

Changsun Wuji was appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Fang Xuanling was appointed as the Minister of the Shangshu, Ma Zhou was appointed as the Minister of the Shangshu, Wei Zheng was appointed as the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Li Jing was appointed as the Privy Councilor.

The chief officers of the third courts of the court also changed.

"Your Majesty, the central government has a new system. Privy Council Privy Councilors, generals of the North and South yamen, ministers of the Ministry of War, and chief commanders of the Five Armies. These positions must be held by military generals, and must be held by military generals with great military achievements. The three provinces and the Hanlin Academy must have the experience of being a local prefecture and county chief, and have served as ministers in the three provinces and six ministries, and can only be held by the Secretary of the State."

Li Shimin frowned when he heard this.

When he established the Privy Council, it was stipulated that the Privy Councilor and the Minister of War must be held by civil officials. They were civil officials who transferred from military to civil servants.

But now, the prince has changed this line. The nine prime ministers who have changed to the imperial court's military rank must all have military positions, and they must also be the kind of military generals who have commanded troops and made great achievements in wars.

This article made one-third of the twenty-seven prime ministers in the three courts of the court in the future be high-ranking military generals. There were not as many military officials, but they would have a place at the imperial meeting.

The eighteen literary ministers also have detailed regulations. Not only can one position be re-elected for two ten years, but it also adds that the experience of being a local prefecture and county official, as well as the experience of being a minister of the central, provincial and ministers.

This makes the position of prime minister even more difficult to obtain.

It is difficult to think of being a low-ranking official as before.

“Who proposed these?”

The term of office for prime minister is established, each term for five years, and at most two years. Li Shimin believes that it is acceptable to avoid the prime minister from occupying the position for a long time and becoming a powerful minister. However, the previous experience of the official positions of the prefectures and counties in the prefectures and counties, as well as the experience of the minister of the provincial and ministers, is extremely restricted.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was a general general, and Fang Xuanling had been the Central Secretariat for ten years and could also be appointed as the Shizhong.

Although this is a bit awkward, Li Shimin felt that it was still necessary.

"Back to Your Majesty, these are all proposed by the Prince himself."

Li Shimin shook his head. He didn't think Cheng Qian could think of these things. He felt that these should be Li Chao's proposal.

"What else is there?"

Since the prince’s wedding, Li Shimin has lived in Changle Palace and has not come out. He even built a Taoist temple in the palace, and he spent most of his time reciting scriptures in front of the Taoist in this palace.

The emperor saw no one outside except Wang Chengen.

"The court is adjusting the division of prefectures and counties in the world, such as Shannan Road will be divided into Hebei Road and Hanzhong Road. The states in the world will be further streamlined and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned and sanctioned. The territories of the princes will no longer be included in the jurisdiction of the court, but will be listed separately as vassal territories."

By adjusting administrative divisions and streamlining prefectures and counties, Li Shimin thought it was a good new policy for Chengqian court.

The Liaobei Road, Shanbei Road, Lingxi Road, Xihai Road, Daxia Road, Kushan Road and other courts were dismissed, and those who are now all the vassal territories of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Chengen stood there, reporting to the emperor one by one the latest updates in the court today.

After a long time, Li Shimin waved.

Wang Chengen bowed and retreated.

Sitting there alone, Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and finally picked up the scriptures and continued to read them.

After passing the Qinling watershed, Guanzhong was Guanzhong. What Li Chao didn’t know was that the latest division of the court had changed Guanzhong Road to Shaanxi Road, which was west of Shaanxi Province.

The ten-mile long track makes this overturn very simple, and the pass is very flat and not high.

A group of children at home were very curious about the fact that a few horses could pull a long list of carriages. Li Chao also satisfied them and walked through the road in a track carriage.

There were originally buses here that specifically went to the river estuary docks on both sides. There were two-story carriages, which could take dozens of people in one car, and there were several carriages.

Li Chao held the eight-year-old Eleventh Cole Li Cong on the upper floor and could still see the scenery.

Ten miles are actually not far away, but the people who come and go here are merchants and travelers, and they bring a lot of greetings. After getting off the boat, it is convenient and labor-saving to take the car directly. Moreover, there are many such carriages, which are cheaper every time. Compared to renting a car alone, it is not a little cheaper.

Li Cong sat in the upper carriage, and the surroundings were open, and it felt very novel and kept talking.

The carriage is moving, and it is actually quite comfortable to sit on it. The track carriage is much more comfortable than an ordinary carriage, at least not so shocking, and it is very stable. The carriage is also large in space, and looking at the scenery on both sides, we will arrive soon.

Get off the bus and you will see the riverside pier of the Ba River.

The Ba River has been re-drained, and a lock bucket level is also set up on the river to make the water level navigable. However, every time you arrive at a ship lock, it is not so convenient to pass the lock, so you have to queue up to pass the lock. This is the same as the ships passing through the Three Gorges in later generations, but it is much simpler than that.

Fortunately, the court did not take the opportunity to set up toll stations at these locks, otherwise, they would have to queue up to set taxes and check, so I don’t know how much time it would take.

The pier here is also a very prosperous business town.

There are all kinds of shops, hotels, restaurants, teahouses, hotels, and all kinds of shops.

From time to time, you can see scholars with swords around your waist passing by in white Confucian robe.

When you walk on Danba Road, you don’t need to pass Lantian Pass anymore. You can take a boat directly here to follow the Ba River and reach the Wei River.

"I finally returned to Guanzhong."

My father stood by the dock and looked at the Ba River, feeling endlessly. This Ba River originated from the Qinling Mountains, flowed through Lantian County, passed through the east edge of Ba Shang, and then merged into the Wei River in the east of Chang'an.

My father is very familiar with this river, although Zhangjiagou is on the west edge of Bashang, and the river is close to the river.

"Well, I'm finally back."

I feel timid in my hometown.

Li Chao also had this feeling inexplicably, as if the wanderer had been wandering outside for a long time, as if Bashang had really become his hometown.

When did I leave last time? It seemed like it was ten years ago.

He was the escort of the Hanjing, and was also the Xuanfu envoy of Shannan Road, Xiang and Deng. He moved the capital to the court to take the vanguard, and also raised food and grass for the great famine of the Tang Dynasty.

He hasn't been back since he came out.

I have become a middle-aged man.

As soon as Li Chao and his party appeared here, someone immediately came to greet him.

"Teacher, I've finally waited for you."

The Great Governor of the Right Army, Su Dingfang, Prince Jiang, came forward. He was surrounded by Xijing, Prince Ba, Qu Tutong, and both of them were in Chang'an, and they were considered civil and military partners.

In addition, a group of senior officials from Shaanxi Road, including the Xuanfu Envoy, the left-right governor, the censor, the commander, the Jingzhao Prefecture Prefecture, and other Shaanxi Road were also here.

Li Chao's status was enough to allow them to receive it with all their strength, not to mention that Li Chao was given the title of governor this time. There were only two governors of the Tang Dynasty, one was the crown prince Chengqian, who was the governor of Lingnan. The second was King Zhao, the governor of Guanlongheshuo, Qinghai-Tibet Western Regions, and this was the seven governors.

Although the governor was a temporary envoy, he was an imperial envoy and had the power to pick up local officials. If they were negligent, Li Chao would say a word at that time, maybe they would all be demoted and removed from office.

"Why do you have to be so polite? I'm here this time, just go home to see you. Governor and imperial envoy, so you don't have to take it seriously." Li Chao said with a smile.

"You can't say that, King Zhao can't say that. You are the God of Wealth. When we heard that King Zhao's western tour in Shaanxi was Guanzhong, the first stop was Guanzhong. We were very happy. We also wanted to borrow the style of King Zhao to see if we can develop the local people's livelihood economy for Shaanxi."

The officials in Chang'an are now headed by the left-behind Xijing. The commander of Su Dingfang is in charge of the army, not a system. Behind the left-behind are the Xuanfu envoy, then the Three Divisions envoys of the original path, and then the Jingzhao Prefecture where Chang'an is located.

As an official, you also need to be an assessment. The so-called one small exam every year, one high school exam every two years, and one big exam every three years. Failure to pass the exam is very troublesome. If you fail the exam, you have to leave a bad review in the Ministry of Personnel. If you fail the exam, you will be demoted. If you fail the exam, you may even be dismissed.

As a local official, there are hard standards for assessment. The most important ones now are local stability and people's livelihood economy. These two are the top priorities. In recent years, although Guanzhong has changed from a national capital to a accompanying capital, it is still very stable. Now everyone is comparing with the ability to revitalize people's livelihood economy.

It is not easy to have as many workshops under your jurisdiction and how much tax the industrial and commercial industry has in a year. It is almost impossible to be a confused official like in the past.

As soon as Li Chao entered Guanzhong, senior officials from Chang'an came in a group and thought about letting Li Chao do some major projects for Guanzhong.

Looking at their serious appearance, Li Chao couldn't help laughing, Well, today's local officials in the Tang Dynasty are quite ambitious.
