Morning meeting the next day.
Facing the enthusiastic gazes of all the civil and military officials, Hong Kang understood clearly.
With the founding of the People's Republic of China in mind, naturally many people are thinking about whether there can be any further benefits.
These people who took refuge under the Tao [Taiping Dao], except for a few who had the ideal of supporting justice, most of them were attracted by the generous treatment.
After all, all the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit!
Everyone has their own demands.
This is human nature and understandable.
As long as they do their jobs conscientiously and abide by the law, that's all.
Hong Kang changed back into his usual black uniform. Mianqi was very unaccustomed to wearing the Chinese uniform.
"Now that the country has been officially established, today's topic is: reviewing the results of past hard work and discussing plans for the future. You can speak freely!~"
Han Bing stood up first and saluted: "Your Majesty, now, all the recruits of the six armies of the [Taiping Army] have entered the "bone forging" stage, but there is still a lot of time to get used to the military formation." Some heat..."
"However, if I dare to issue a military order, within half a year, the entire army will be able to officially fight!"
"At the same time, there is good news. Longju has been successfully cultivated."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Han Bing.
"Oh~!"
"Why don't Han Qing take it out and let all the ministers take a look at it?"
The reason why he said this was because Hong Kang had already sensed the life aura with weak dragon energy outside the palace gate. When he listened carefully, he also heard the neighing of horses.
Han Bing said yes.
Everyone moved to the square. Not long after Han Bing left, he brought in a tall horse with black and green fur, more than nine feet and seven inches tall. From time to time, the horse's nose blew out two streams of hot air.
"This is the dragon colt??"
The speaker was Zhu Danxi. He came here as a member of the medical department. However, among the people present, he had the lowest cultivation level. After all, he only started to practice qi and maintain health in middle age.
Everyone else could detect that the aura of this black-green war horse was unusual.
Apart from anything else, at least the slightly raised texture on the body of this black-green war horse, like scales, shows that it is no longer an ordinary horse...
Especially the four Hong Kang people who are very familiar with dragon aura. In the world above, they have been with Dragon God, Long Bo and the others for hundreds of years, and they are very familiar with the true dragon aura.
"This dragon's bloodline is too mixed and rare!~"
Dongfang Bubai's palm gently stroked the mane of the black-green war horse. The black-green war horse, which was still snoring, suddenly stood there obediently like a frightened little white rabbit, not daring to make any big moves.
Already slightly spiritual, it sensed great danger from the man in red, as well as a sense of oppression coming from his bloodline...
Han Bing smiled bitterly.
He said: "Mingzun, after all, they are just two mirage dragons. This horse is already the best fusion so far."
"We have tested and found that this horse can currently travel three thousand miles a day, can see things easily in the dark, and can even tread water without knee-deep...!"
After hearing this description, several people in the military were all stunned.
Hong Kang asked: "When can we breed dragon colts on a large scale?"
Han Bing hesitated for a while and said: "At present, it is not possible to equip the entire army on a large scale immediately."
"But I have ordered people to select high-quality mares, and then let these dozens of dragon colts be used as stallions. According to the most basic one-horse, one-horse, three-year-old mature, it will take at least six years to equip the entire army... Around~!"
After all, you can't just choose a breeding mare. In order to get an excellent war horse, the breeding mare must also be strong.
Hong Kang asked again: "What if there are 30,000 soldiers with outstanding equipment and combat capabilities?"
Han Bing calculated: "In this case, it must be three years. After all, it takes time for a war horse to truly mature."
Hong Kang understood.
Everyone returned to the palace.
"Although it will take three years to equip a large number of dragon colts, I have decided to pacify the six southern states in one year. Do you have any objections?!"
Pang Qingyang suggested that Hong Kang should change his name, such as "I", "Gu", "I am a widow" and so on.
But Hong Kang still calls himself "I".
He also smiled and persuaded: "Those titles for being lonely, Taoist, and widowed are all prescribed by mortal emperors. There is no such thing as long live long live..."
"Qingyang, you and I have understood the truth that "those who eat breath will live longer than gods". If we live forever, why should we care about these red tapes~!"
Everyone had already anticipated Hong Kang's plan and each was thinking about its feasibility, but most people's eyes fell on Zhuge Wolong, and Hong Kang also looked at him.
After all, Zhuge Wolong is in charge of the military and political affairs, and he knows best about the military's combat strength, soldiers, horses, food and grass, equipment and medicine... etc.
"Your Majesty, this battle can be fought!"
Zhuge Wolong suddenly said.
"Judging from the capture of Yangzhou, Yingguo's defenders have long been sparse and poorly trained. With the overwhelming combat power of our [Taiping Army], the frontal battlefield is unstoppable!"
"And the seeds that ripen twice a year have been planted. If we go to war in a year, we can harvest food three times during the period, which will be enough for military needs."
"As for the weapon armor and stomach, the Ministry of Industry will also allocate manpower to make it..."
"The only thing you need to worry about is the monsters along the way. In this case, the demon, ghost, and military departments need to work together."
"After conquering the six southern states, will such a huge land area and the surge in population make it impossible for our logistics to keep up...?"
Hong Kang looked at a bearded man in the field.
"Yan Qing, I remember that you should be familiar with the southwest, right?"
Yan Chixia's reputation as a "tough judge" spread throughout the country, but his initial fame did begin in the southwest.
Then, Yan Chixia briefly introduced the situation.
Everyone learned that compared with the prosperity of the land south of the Yangtze River, the southwest was full of high mountains and difficult roads, so the population density was far less than that of Yangzhou.
For example, in the Jiaozhou area, although Yan Chixia has never been there, she has long heard about the dangerous environment there. It is a place with the characteristics of "a land of miasma" and "no food for humans and animals".
Zhuge Wolong secretly compared it with the information he knew, and combined the two, he immediately became more complete.
But the specific strategy still needs to be discussed in detail with several military commanders in the military department.
The meeting gradually progressed.
Hong Kang proposed to coordinate the current system a little bit.
Specific things should be divided into individuals, and there should be no mistakes like laymen pointing out to insiders.
"The original Ministry of Industry was responsible for ordinary people's livelihood facilities, such as building roads and bridges, as well as the production of military weapons and equipment. Although the functions were similar, they were too general and inappropriate."
"For example, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, etc. are all the same."
Hong Kang took out a stack of papers and waved it casually. On the table in front of everyone, one sheet fell on each position, no more, no less.
"This is my preliminary idea. Can you please see if it can be applied to Yangzhou now, or even the six southern states in the future?!"
"Don't hide it. I don't know everything. For some specific matters, I definitely don't understand the details like you have handled."
Zhuge Wolong watched with interest.
In fact, he had been aware of this problem for a long time. Even if Hong Kang didn't say it, he would still find an opportunity to bring it up.
In the past, it was only the six counties of Guobei. It was not a large area and I could still manage it. But now it covers the entire territory of Yangzhou. The number of things to manage in daily life has suddenly increased. It is already a bit busy! ~
If after taking over the six southern states...
The ordinary six-ministry system of the imperial court cannot adapt to the [Taiping Dao]... Well, it is the Daxuan Kingdom now.
Many of the new policies and powers proposed by Your Majesty require a large number of professional manpower. Although I am known as a "Botanical Scholar," how can I really know everything? !
Others also looked at the white paper that was handed to them. Although they knew the words, some people nodded their heads.
Among the traditional six ministries, not only were a large number of institutions that Hong Kang considered irrelevant were deleted, but subordinate institutions such as the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment were also split into independent departments.
The Ministry of Rites is only responsible for diplomacy and sacrificial affairs, and is divided into the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture; "Xinmin Digest" falls under the Ministry of Culture.
The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the system of civil construction and the use of equipment, but it is only responsible for urban and rural construction. As for armaments and weapons, there will be dedicated personnel from the Military Ministry in charge.
In addition, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Science and Technology were separated.
Hong Kang has always emphasized the importance of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Everyone also knows that the stainless steel weapons, armors, and various new materials such as cement powder in the hands of the [Taiping Army] were developed by talents from the Ministry of Science and Technology.
There are even people inside trying to see if they can develop some new weapons against demons and ghosts...
As for the Ministry of Punishment, it was split into the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Justice and the Public Security Department, and the original [Demon Suppression Department] was also assigned to the Ministry of Public Security. Of course, the leader was still Yan Chixia.
The Ministry of Household Affairs was split into the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Medicine were added.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
The traditional Ministry of Personnel is an agency that manages civil officials. It is responsible for the system of ranking and selection, the method of examination and demotion, the method of granting and rewarding, and the method of finalizing the registration system. It has great power and was greatly influenced by Hong Kang. Power is compressed.
There is no Ministry of War, and it has always been called the Military Department under [Taiping Dao]. However, for the Military Department, Hong Kang still split it into several small departments such as the General Staff Department, the Equipment Department, and the Logistics Department according to the items.
For a time, except for a few people, everyone felt confused about the content on this white paper.
Some people are comparing the departments corresponding to their current positions; some feel that the emperor is decentralizing power to avoid a future in which one person holds all the power...
"Young ladies don't have to rush to answer. You can take it back and discuss it carefully. We will talk about it in three days."
"Most of these departments are still my current ideas. After all, there is still a lack of enough talents. Isn't it true that there are not necessarily dedicated candidates at the moment? I can only work hard for you to take on multiple positions for the time being!~"
Some people appear calm on the surface, but in their hearts they wonder, what kind of hard work is this~!
It’s a dream come true! ~
Then, someone secretly looked at Zhuge Wolong's expression, because according to the division on the white paper, Zhuge Lingjun's power was greatly dispersed.
Hong Kang continued: "As for the original Military Aircraft Department, it was renamed Shangshu Pavilion. Mr. Zhuge is still the commander, in charge of military affairs. At the same time, ministers of various ministries can participate as cabinet ministers..."
End of meeting.
Zhuge Wolong said: "Your Majesty, now that the country has been established, can we arrange for the opening of subjects to recruit scholars?!"
………………
In the Ming Dynasty, depose the emperor, suppress luck, pay tribute, select officials, support farmers and mulberry trees, cultivate military equipment, be generous in taxation, benevolent and trustworthy, and pay attention to orders.
