The next morning, all the ministers came to the Political Consultative Hall early. Everyone knew the news that the emperor decided to reform. Although the people below did not know the specific reform plan, they still knew some of the general content. For Li Liangzuo's big move this time, these civil and military officials were helpless except to sigh.

"The ministers worship..."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"You are all good friends!" Li Liangzuo said with a big wave of his hand; "I believe you all know that in order to revitalize our Daxia Kingdom, I have decided to eliminate bad policies and implement reforms..."

After some long talk, the ministers praised Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty is wise..."

"Little Fuzi will announce the order!" Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Fuzi standing beside him.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia: In order to eliminate bad policies and revitalize our country, His Majesty the Emperor decided to implement reforms across the country. The reforms are implemented in various aspects such as politics, economy, military, and culture. The specific implementation plan is as follows:

First: Change the year name and change the eighth year of Shengchengdao to the first year of assimilation.

Second: implement political reforms, abolish the prime minister system, implement military and political separation, all major institutions of the court abolish all the institutions and implement new management institutions; establish five major institutions in the three courts, two departments, including the Executive Yuan, Military Affairs Council, Judicial Court, Finance Department, and Supervision Department within the court;

Establish two-level management agencies at the prefecture and county levels in the prefecture, and establish the governor's office and the Zhechong Prefecture in the prefecture. The governor's office is in charge of local government affairs such as administration, justice, taxation, and other local military affairs such as city defense, public security, and bandit suppression;

Establish a county magistrate in the county, which is in charge of administrative, judicial, taxation, military service and other rights in the jurisdiction; all officials in prefectures and counties are appointed and removed by the court, and all officials are assessed every year and rotated every three years; those who have the same political achievements as the previous year are punished once, and those who have declined their political achievements are directly dismissed from their official positions...

Encourage business and improve the legal status of merchants. The unified business tax law of the country is not allowed to collect commercial taxes, tolls, etc. privately...

Fourth: Military reform, the first batch of 100,000 new army personnel were trained, and the specific training plan was not announced. The national army was divided into three levels: the Central Army (New Army), border army, and government army;

As the main force, the Central Army is the elite of our country, the border army is the army stationed in the frontier and the second-line troops, and the government soldiers are local troops. Each place has different garrison forces according to needs, and the garrison forces range from 500 to 300.

Fifth: Cultural reform, abolishing the difficult-to-write Party texts, and implementing new simplified Chinese characters; the imperial court established Imperial College and the Imperial College as the highest educational institutions, and local prefectures and counties established state colleges and county schools. At the same time, the establishment of private colleges was encouraged. All schools at all levels educate students with the core of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, respecting literature and martial arts". Therefore, children aged 5 to 14 must be admitted, and all the expenses were borne by the court.

...

Tenth: Promote a reasonable animal husbandry industry and vigorously cultivate war horses;

Eleven: Reward military merits, all classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce should treat them equally, and those with significant contributions will be personally received by the emperor…”

Xiao Fuzi recited the imperial edict in a big way, and the officials below were trembling! Many of them had already touched the interests of the Dangxiang nobles, and they were very opposed to the ministers, but they dared not say it out.

After Xiao Fuzi finished reading, Li Liangzuo said to the ministers: "I know what you all are worried about? Regarding the acquisition of land as state-owned, I will not treat everyone unfairly. All land will be reclaimed according to the redemption method. Of course, if anyone dares to object, then we have to see if my knife is fast or their necks are hard..."

"I will follow Your Majesty's Imperial Order..." All the ministers said under Li Liangzuo's tyranny.

"Xiao Fuzi read another imperial edict." After the ministers stood up, Li Liangzuo continued.

Xiao Fuzi brought another imperial edict and read it loudly: "The emperor of Daxia Kingdom: Appoint the imperial edict of the CPC Goning Ling as the Executive Yuan; the rebate was transferred to the military affairs envoy of the Military Affairs Council; Gao Huaizheng as the judicial envoy of the Judicial Court; Zhou Wentai as the director of the Finance Department; Mao Huaichang as the director of the Supervision Department..."

After Xiao Fuzi finished reading all the officials were newly appointed, and the assimilation reform in Xixia also began on this day. No matter when and where there was reform, there would be resistance. Assimilation reform was no exception. However, since Li Liangzuo had dealt with a group of Dangxiang nobles, and the support of the army and ministers in the court, the reform was relatively smooth, and all the rebels were brought to justice, and of course, there were many killed.

Three months have passed without realizing it. Xixia entered the end of May of the first year of assimilation. Xixia's reforms received a lot of approval from the people, and the entire Xixia is being deposited in the joy of reform.

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the reform. Please read it." Weng Ning ordered a memorial to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo opened and looked at it and said with great satisfaction: "Uncle Emperor has worked hard during this period. The agricultural reforms in various places have been basically completed. In the future, the Uncle Emperor will be much more relaxed..."

"Everything is done according to Your Majesty's will. Where did the meritorious minister say hardship?" Victor Ning Ling said with a smile.

"How about the 100,000 newly recruited soldiers I asked you some time ago?" Li Liangzuo asked Vergung Ningling.

Wei Ge Ning Ling immediately replied: "According to Your Majesty's wishes, the list has been posted in various places. So far, the number of people who have passed the registration and screening in various places has reached 80,000."

Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "This matter is related to the combat effectiveness of the new army in the future. Please work harder and recruit all the personnel as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'm going to accept the order." Veng Ning Ling replied.

After the departure of Vergung Ning Ling, Xiao Fuzi asked Li Liangzuo in confusion: "Your Majesty, I have something unknown to me, so please tell me."

"If you don't understand, please ask me if you don't understand!" Li Liangzuo said while reading the memorial.

"Your Majesty's recruitment should be the matter of the Military Council, why did Your Majesty hand it over to the Government Council for execution?" Xiao Fuzi asked Li Liangzuo curiously.

Li Liangzuo looked at Xiao Fuzi with a sinister face, and Xiao Fuzi was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground, slapped himself in the mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I'm talking too much, I deserve to die."

"Get it done!" Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Fuzi; "I'll ask you what the responsibilities of the Military Affairs Council are?"

"Of course, it is the commander of the whole country's troops." Xiao Fuzi said.

Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "That's right. The responsibility of the Military Council is to manage the national troops and command the dispatch of the national troops; if the Military Council has the right to recruit troops, wouldn't the military Council have a bit too much?"

Xiao Fuzi suddenly realized that Li Liangzuo smiled and continued to read his memorials. In fact, after the assimilation reform, in the court, Li Liangzuo was divided into five generals and ministers, including administrative, judicial, military, finance, and supervision, all were responsible to the emperor. This effectively divided ministers strengthened the imperial power; at the same time, the rights could be decentralized. Since the power was dispersed, everyone performed their duties, the emperor was not afraid of powerful ministers.

The same is true for local rights. Due to the implementation of military and political separation, officials at all levels of military and political affairs can form mutual connections. In addition, local officials are appointed and removed by the court and rotated every three years, which prevents collusion between aristocratic families and local officials, and also prevents the emergence of local warlords.

Simply put, after the assimilation reform, Li Liangzuo, as the emperor, took control of the court, and the court had control over the place; therefore, both the court and the place were within the control of the emperor, and Li Liangzuo was equal to a existence that was integrated into the military and political power of the Western Xia country, and no one could shake it.
