As the civil and military officials in the temple paid their respects, the crowds of people kneeling down seemed to be contagious.
First came the officials outside the palace and the guards who were standing there, then the people outside the palace city and even the entire Andu City.
Those on the street faced the Zhongji Hall and worshiped directly, while those inside the house also arranged their clothes and worshiped solemnly without slacking off.
Everyone knows that in these troubled times, if they support Zhou Bai as king, it will definitely lead them to live a better life.
In the past half year, or even more than three years, Zhou Bai's various performances have already convinced them.
When the Jin people invaded the south, which was difficult for the state government and the imperial court to deal with, he was able to repel it even when he was living in the countryside. He piled up bandit heads to build a temple in Beijing and tried his best to keep the Pingcang border stable.
Subsequently, he established his own government in Bei'an, Ruinan, and Border Town. In the continuous expansion wars, he did not suffer a single defeat.
Even against the monsters from the sky, they were suppressed by thunder in an orderly manner, and they never allowed outsiders to show off their evil in the local area.
The recent war out of the fortress on the eve of the founding of the country caused panic among the grassland tribes who had been raiding south for many years. The countless trophies of cattle and sheep that came back were sold directly to the homes of civilians at low prices.
How many years ago was it last time a general went out?
This makes the people of Anbei not proud to be Chinese, and unwilling to support Zhou Bai as his uncle and found the country!
An Beibo's position as king was secured with a sword and a gun on horseback.
"See you, Your Majesty, see Uncle Anbei!"
The sounds of worship continued to rise and fall, and finally converged into one sound, which was surrender.
The whole city surrendered, 2.4 million people in the three counties surrendered, and the mighty destiny of the people became pure at this moment.
At this time, Zhou Bai had a very mysterious inspiration, that is, as a king, he could trigger the great destiny of all people and release unimaginable power at his fingertips.
After ascending the throne and establishing a country, Hunyuan Qiyun Daozang seemed to really begin to show its power.
Use the power of luck for your own use and directly interfere with reality!
Fortunately, Zhou Bai was always rational and suppressed his inner urges, and did not try to squander his luck at this moment.
"Everyone is safe."
When he stretched out his hand to help, as if he cared about his subjects, everyone stood up according to his will.
All the civil and military officials in the Zhongji Hall stood up straight, their faces still showing awe. Only then did they feel the majesty of the king.
It's not an adjective, nor is it a feeling of fear recorded in books because of the status gap.
But the real, mental and physical feelings are like the silver gun Gao Hu who is fighting on the battlefield and killing people, but now he does not dare to meet Zhou Bai's eyes.
But no one was surprised, because this was an era of spiritual energy recovery, and their monarch was still a genuine Third Realm monk.
"Today I ascend to the throne of Duke and establish the Kingdom of Anbei. It depends on the concerted efforts of all the ministers to assist me. Otherwise, I will not be able to have political leadership and people..."
"Any meritorious service must be rewarded, and a guilty party must be punished, so let's issue an edict."
Zhou Bai looked around at the officials in the palace without saying much, and looked at secretaries Lang Zhao Xi and Wen Hongchang who were standing at the foot of the steps.
These two people were the two treasures from the ocean that he personally picked up when he inspected the seven counties in Bei'an. One was born in Danhuang and the other was born in Honghuang. They were both talents who could leave the county.
There are no eunuchs at the moment, so it is up to them to read out the emperor's decree. According to the division of labor, it is Zhao Xi who takes the lead now.
He took out a roll of yellow cloth from his sleeve, spread it out, and read loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. The national system must be clearly hierarchical and the government decrees must be smooth. I would like to share this with you..."
"At the center of the country, there is a cabinet, which is in charge of state affairs and is responsible for both civil and military affairs... There are six departments in charge of national affairs, namely the Ministry of Personnel, which has one Shangshu (fourth grade), one left and right minister (fourth grade), and four Qing dynasties. Each department has one doctor (sixth grade), one minister (fifth grade), one person in charge (seventh grade), and other officials. The Ministry of Household Affairs has... There are three counties of Qing officials, each of which has officials such as Lang Zhong, Yuan Wai Lang, and chief officials. The Ministry of Rites has Shangshu... There are four Qing officials (ceremony, sacrifice, host and guest, fine food)... The Ministry of War... has... There are four official departments of the Qing Dynasty (Wuxuan, Zifang, Chaijia, and Arsenal)...the Ministry of Punishment has one Shangshu...the Ministry of Works has one Shangshu, and one minister on the left and right. (Shui, Tuntian), each department has officials such as Langzhong, Yuanwailang, and Chief."
"Local areas are divided into four levels: counties, counties and villages. The county level is the fifth grade, the county level is the seventh grade, the township level is the ninth grade, and the village level is the unranked official level... Ad hoc administrative zones can also be set up. The current Baishazhou Administrative Zone is the sixth grade. Products are directly under the central jurisdiction."
"Specify special institutions such as Xuanyiwei and Tianya Pavilion...Add the Inspectorate, Taiyuan Hospital, Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple, and Taichang Temple..."
A grand institutional plan was presented. Except for a few people in the front row who knew the inside story, most of them were stunned and admired it.
Rigorous and meticulous, this is a system as complete as the Daxu court, or even worse.
However, some people are very confused. The six ministers are limited to the fourth rank, which is in line with the status of the Bo Kingdom. However, if there are too many positions under the status, it will exceed the quota. This institutional structure is too huge.
It is very perfect, grand and good, and they also believe that it can achieve higher administrative efficiency and make the country make great progress.
But could the newly established Anbei Kingdom have such abundant luck to support such a system?
The two "new faces" in the palace, Xue Qing, the former inspector of Daxu Dingzhou, and Yinmu, the former governor of Bei'an County of Daxu, looked at each other and could see each other's confusion.
The central and local system proposed now must at least be at the level of a prince or even a kingdom in order to operate smoothly.
According to their view, when the Anbei Kingdom was first established, no matter how strong its national destiny was, it could only maintain the operation of this system for a few months.
There are too many institutions and they are too bloated. The luck collected by the system is far from making up for the luck consumed.
However, since these two old foxes who have been in the officialdom for half their lives are willing to accept Zhou Bai's order to seek talents and join Anbei Kingdom as officials, they have naturally studied Zhou Bai.
This person must know the problems behind the huge system. They need to give them more confidence and make eye contact again. The two of them made tacit understanding and did not take any additional actions.
In the main hall, considering that there are only a few people with such profound knowledge, most officials were excited when they heard the institutional structure announced by Zhao Xi.
The more positions they have, the more chances they have for promotion.
"I accept your orders, your Majesty is wise!"
After the first founding edict was read out, Zhao Xi did not show too much of his presence, but quietly retreated to the steps and let Wen Hongchang take over.
Wen Hongchang's destiny is slightly worse than that of Zhao Xi, but his performance is not bad at all.
Generous and confident, loud and clear.
"Your Majesty has decreed that in the establishment of a great dynasty, the meritorious officials should be rewarded with honors, titles, land and houses, gold and silk as a token of commendation..."
"Order, make Chen Zhongbang the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, add the title of Bachelor of Zhongjidian, and join the cabinet; make Zhou Yuan the Minister of the Ministry of War, add the title of Bachelor; make Yinmu the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, add the title of Bachelor, and join the cabinet... Zhou Lin is the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Zhong Wei is the right minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, Yan Lie is the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and Shi Changxing is the left minister of the Ministry of Works..."
After the central civil servants finished reading, the six ministers, ministers and other officials came out to receive the order. Zhao Xi followed Zhou Bai with the official seal and issued the six seals.
Fortunately for Yinmu, as a former county governor and now the prime minister of Boguo, he had more sense of responsibility for the people of the three counties, otherwise he would not have accepted Zhou Bai's invitation to join the court.
No matter whether it was Chen Zhongbang, Zhou Yuan, Zhong Wei or Yan Lie, they all burst into tears and wished they could prostrate themselves on the ground to thank them.
It's not easy. They never thought that one day they could become a high-level leader of a country and control the destiny of millions of people.
In particular, Zhong Wei and Yan Lie were just children at first, but thanks to their loyal service, they were promoted step by step by Zhou Bai to where they are today.
The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry all have only one minister and have not yet established a minister, so they are actually the de facto leaders.
If you don't become a minister, it's not because you don't have enough merit and qualifications, but because you don't have enough destiny.
Shi Changxing is a bit better, his destiny is not bad. After being trained and appointed by Zhou Bai, his destiny has continuously exceeded the upper limit, and now he is one step away from Dan Qing's destiny.
Only Zhong Wei and Yan Lie have such poor foundations that they can change their destiny step by step and surpass the limitations of their original destiny.
So far, he is still a red-yellow man, and the red life is the dominant one. The yellow life can barely help him maintain his position as minister.
Zhou Bai practices Hunyuan Qiyun Daozang and always adheres to the principle of matching virtue and position when appointing his subordinates.
The talents of his old subordinates are actually not bad, but Zhou Bai is a little nostalgic for the past, and his destiny is a little worse. In the past, he really didn't need to be a minister.
But the upcoming recruitment war is a great opportunity. As long as it is won, it will be easy to plunder the great fortune of the outside world and advance the country as a whole.
Changing one's destiny is naturally a simple act done by the way.
"Order, reorganize the three armies and divide them into three levels. The first-level Central Forbidden Army, with an infantry force of 50,000, is awarded the military titles Youyi, Tabai, Selecting the Front, Victory, and Defeating the Enemy. Lou Jinpeng is the infantry commander, and the rank is four. Rank. The number of the cavalry army is 5,500. The 5,000 cavalry are black armor cavalry, and the 500 dragon cavalry are dragon cavalry. Chu Kai is the deputy general manager of the cavalry army, ranking from the fourth rank. The second class is the garrison, stationed in various places. Counties and counties have an army of 100,000, which is mobilized by the Ministry of War. The third level is militia and auxiliary troops..."
"There is also a guard pro-army, with varying numbers of positions. Qu Zhi is the general manager of the pro-army, with a rank of five."
"The number of the Demon-Subduing Army will remain unchanged at five thousand. Gao Hu will be the general manager of the Demon-Subduing Army. The amount will be paid out of the monarch's internal funds and will be under the monarch's personal control."
"I have recently come to commend the meritorious officials for the benefit of the common people. Therefore, Wu Sanlian, Fei Zhengqing, Zhang Dapeng, Tian Jinyong, Wan Li... went on a rampage to cultivate land, expand territories, fight together, and made great military exploits one after another... The merits of these ministers have long been Regardless of the size, they should be rewarded with medals, titles, rank and salary, and ceremonial vessels should be respected in the imperial court. The special purpose is to reward gold, houses, and fields to show the sincerity of my gratitude."
In addition to the main high-level officers, Zhou Bai will also not forget the middle-level officers who have made great achievements in the military. He did not have the conditions to be granted a big title in the past, but now he has the conditions to make up for it.
Some generals were in the palace, and some were of low rank and were even summoned from outside the palace.
Many civil servants looked a little unnatural when they saw the general being conferred a title, but Zhou Bai's decree had just mentioned that both civil and military forces should be promoted simultaneously, and now of course no one would be wise to give advice.
The country was just founded, and it was in troubled times. If we tried to handle state affairs through purely civilian politics, it was obvious that we could not keep up.
No, each one of them, under the leadership of Chief Assistant Chen Zhongbang, also expressed their respect for these heroes who fought bloody battles on the battlefield.
Soon afterwards, all military generals who were qualified to enter the dynasty were awarded the title, including the chief officers of the garrison at the local county level. They were all awarded half of the tiger talisman by Zhou Bai himself.
At this point, the main content of the first imperial meeting has ended, but one thing is actually missing.
That is, the hero was not knighted, but all the officials expressed their understanding.
It is not certain whether such a large and sound system can have enough luck to operate, so why should we raise some nobles?
Everyone knows that a noble position consumes the most luck and is also the most nourishing.
Otherwise, when the Daxu Dynasty came to its end and was offered the title of nobility, a considerable number of powerful Qianlong would still choose to accept it and bow their heads to regard it as their sect leader.
Of course, Zhou Bai also made it clear that whoever gets the title first in the future will be determined by merit.
"After you return, you must instill the concept of the country into the local people, promote the benevolent government of the new dynasty, and create a new atmosphere for the country..."
"A big change is coming. Recuperation and recuperation are the most important things. We must strictly guard the borders for the time being and don't miss out on militia training..."
"Retreat without incident!"
"Your Majesty, please retire!" In Wen Hongchang's energetic chant, the civil and military officials retreated leisurely, and soon the palace was empty.
There are only a few secretaries who are qualified to go to the study room and still remain.
Zhou Bai didn't get up, so no one dared to urge him.
The profound gaze passed through the palace, through the city, the land, and through the crowd. The perfect level of qi-gazing technique was worthy of any magical power, big or small.
He saw a new divine domain space appearing underground in Andu City. The god master was leading many gods to build the divine domain buildings. The magnificent divine palace was rising from the ground, which was different from the speed at which mortals could build houses.
The Divine Lord is Zhou Bai's clone, and he easily noticed his gaze, and immediately bowed and congratulated him with a smile.
At the same time, she is also congratulating herself. Facing the fate of all people gathered in Andu City, she can use this to break through the bottleneck.
I saw her stretching her arms, making a move, and the majestic fortune poured into her body. Within a moment, her whole body began to shine with golden light...
Many of the gods in Shenting couldn't believe it. The God Lord who controlled them to death actually broke through the Golden Imperial Order now?
Before officially breaking through, he could easily sweep them away, showing unparalleled power.
What to do after the breakthrough? I am afraid that I will not be able to directly confront a humane god of the level of the Zhoucheng Emperor.
Of course, as they belong to the Shenting system, they must be genuinely happy about their boss's breakthrough.
The stronger the divine master is, the higher the level of the Shinto talisman that can be issued to them.
It would take some time for the construction of the divine domain of the divine court and the promotion of the divine master, so Zhou Bai turned his attention to the overall observation.
During the operation of the magical power, he observed the changes in the luck of the system. At the great meeting just now, as soon as the establishment of the system was announced, the situation immediately changed.
A new and huge legal net started from Andu and covered every corner of the three counties.
