After determining the rights and obligations of the vassal state and the foreign state, the next step is to take the opportunity to integrate the empire.

First, the emperor announced the abolition of the military service system that had been implemented in the north for almost twenty years - in Jiangbei, everyone has military ranks, and the salary and benefits implemented by imperial government staff were also formulated according to military ranks.

Before, there was no official rank in the empire at all, but there was a captain, county magistrate, major, and prefect.

After the empire was unified and external military threats were basically gone, this kind of military and national z-like approach seemed too inappropriate, so it became a natural thing to cancel it.

The army still implements the rank system of commander, general, lieutenant, soldier and soldiers.

However, the civil official titles were replaced by a more traditional rank system.

The highest ruling body of the empire is the cabinet, which consists of the emperor, the crown prince, the chief minister, two secondary ministers, and the six ministers.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue is responsible for human resources (including women's work), finance, agriculture and animal husbandry, banking and commerce.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction (roads, bridges, water conservancy, houses and palaces, etc.) and industry.

The Ministry of War is responsible for the construction of sea, army, reserve and militia.

The Ministry of Justice is responsible for justice.

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the promotion and assessment of officials.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for education, sacrifices (such as this sacrifice to heaven), diplomacy and other aspects.

Each department has departments to handle these specific tasks separately, and each department has a minister and chief official.

Officials below the Minister will not be represented.

The national administrative divisions are divided from top to bottom, including provincial (administrator), government (prefectural government), prefecture (prefectural government), county (prefectural government), township (town chief), and village (village chief).

Until the county level, local administrations should also imitate the cabinet and set up small six departments to take charge of all work within their jurisdiction.

Townships and localities should be simplified into a leadership team of less than ten people, and a three-person committee in the village should be responsible for the specific work.

The cabinet hopes to use this method to penetrate the tentacles directly into the village to replace the traditional local clan rule.

The idea is good, but it is difficult. Now I have just started and started doing this.

After the official title and administrative district structure were determined, the next important task was to establish the capital of the empire.

Before unification, the Chinese Empire actually had no capital.

Two important administrative centers, Quancheng is the emperor's presence, and Yanjing is the prince's presence.

One reason why Quancheng became an administrative center is that the empire started in Qi Province. Quancheng was the first big city controlled by the empire, with the earliest economic recovery and it also seemed relatively prosperous.

In addition, the city of Quancheng is next to the canal. In the era when the Great Zhou still existed, it makes sense that this city is the core of dealing with Jiangnan.

But now, Jiangnan has been completely incorporated into the empire, and Quancheng's political status has been reduced instantly, and it is no longer appropriate to be an emperor.

Considering that we must vigorously develop Jiangnan's industry and economy in the future, as well as the expansion of Nanyang, it is imperative to move the empire's administrative center to Jiangnan.

Of course, all of the above reasons are Xu Shiyang. The only reason why Emperor Xu Muhe agreed to move to Jiangnan is that Jiangnan is prosperous enough that he can enjoy his happiness if he goes...

The first capital of the empire was set in Jinling.

The city is backed by the Yangtze River, and its influence can radiate to the entire south of the Yangtze River and most of the Jiangbei region. It is also convenient for shipping. Xu Shiyang believes that this will also help the development of Huzhou Prefecture.

It is said that it is the capital of Jinling, but in fact the empire still needs to maintain the attitude of a two-headed dragon - the prince Xingzai is still located in Yanjing, and it is still the imperial military center.

This is because the threat of Chaharmongu still exists, and the empire needs a powerful force to shock various foreigners who are as furious as a cow.

Xu Shiyang believed that this form of double capital should last for a long time until the empire completely digested Liaodong, Mengwu and the Western Regions.

Even if necessary, Xu Shiyang planned to set up a third capital in Chang'an to deal with the stability and expansion in the northwest direction, but this matter has not been formally proposed yet.

Although most of the things have been prepared before, the above work will still take up most of the time of the emperor in the next few years - it is estimated that it would be good to be able to sort out these work after five years.

For Xu Shiyang, the pace of the empire's expansion will not stop.

After repelling the attack of the Tubo headquarters in Sichuan Province, King Xu Shiliu of Jin gathered troops, hoarded materials and prepared to attack the Tubo headquarters in Sichuan Province. According to the emperor's wishes, the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau would become the fief of the King of Jin.

In terms of expansion, Xu Shiliu has his own unique advantage - the Jinghu army of the former Great Zhou was formed by him, with a total of 60,000 soldiers. After changing into new weapons, these soldiers were his capital to conquer the plateau.

Of course, fighting on the plateau is not as usual, and Xu Shiliu must make some preparations for altitude sickness.

For example, prepare a large amount of drugs such as Rhodiola that can be used to alleviate altitude sickness, and then advance step by step towards the plateau to allow soldiers to gradually adapt to the plateau climate.

In addition, a large number of foreign Tubo soldiers from Qinghai were recruited to participate in this conquest.

The Jin army expected that the number of troops to participate in the war could reach 80,000, which was much more generous than when the Qin army left the Pamir Mountains west.

Of course, Xu Shiliu would also have a team of guards around him to carry out protection (also have surveillance duties), which would be the only regular imperial army in the Qin army.

In addition to the soon-to-be-expanding expansion of the Jin army, the Qin army, which had already gained a foothold in Suoye City, also had to face the full counterattack of the Pars army after the beginning of spring and the next move to expand westward. Xu Daixuan hoped that the Qin sphere of influence could be expanded to the Hezhong Prefecture (Samarkand/Xunsgan) generation within the next 2 or 3 years.

The area with the most fertile land and pastures in Central Asia, controlling it means that the Qin State's own strength alone is enough to crush the entire Pars.

To achieve this, Xu Daixuan hopes that the Qin army can strengthen its military strength, for example, the number of Han soldiers should reach 10,000, and the strength of other tribes should be increased.

Xu Daixuan’s goal is 60,000 troops, but this seems unrealistic.

Because the military strength of the Western Regions has almost been aired, the Qinghai Federation needs to concentrate on supporting the expansion of King Jin, the Sauron Baihu in Liaodong and the Mongolian Federation in the grassland are ready to participate in the military operations against Jamukha.

The most important Han soldiers were not enough to give them much to the King of Qin, because the base of Han people in Ning and Xia provinces in the Western Regions was too small, and Han people who were willing to settle in the northwest must first satisfy these mainland provinces.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Xu Daixuan could not get the reinforcements he expected.

Xu Shiyang returned to Yanjing from the south in May. He will personally preside over the war against Jamukha and eliminate Chaharmongu.

This is the last opponent in the north. If Jamukha is eliminated, the border problems in the north will be solved (of course, they have not been cured yet). Xu Shiyang attaches great importance to this matter.
