Xiao Yiran only stayed in the northern station for two days, accompanied Xiao An, inspected the station, and then returned to the Wangshan station. Because, Xiao Yiran has been planning one thing in his heart, wanting to establish a country. For a long time, it has been called the Dragon Clan, or the Wangshan Station, as well as the Mengyue River Station, and the Longshan Station, Xiao Yiran felt that such a title was not convenient for commanding the clan in the future.

Xiao Yiran understands that the concept of the country does not exist in the hearts of people in this era. It is necessary to explain in detail so that the members of the Presbyterian Church, as well as the community, understand the concept of state and the meaning of establishing it.

At the Council of Elders, Siu Yat-ran proposed the concept of the state for the first time.

The so-called state is an organization composed of individual families, which is larger than a single ethnic group, and is a combination of multiple ethnic groups.

Although Xiao Yiran's memories before her rebirth told her that a country is not only made up of multiple ethnic groups, but can also accommodate multiple faiths. However, Xiao Yiran didn't want his ethnic group to have other beliefs, and his country could only have one faith, that is, the dragon, or rather, Xiao Yiran, the emperor.

As for why the state was established, Siu explained it to the members of the Presbyterian Church in this way:

"Because a country can accommodate many ethnic groups, it is possible to better manage the many ethnic groups in the country. At the same time, the integration of multiple ethnic groups by the state can form a strong strength, so that in the future, it will always stand in the world. ”

For the members of the Council of Elders who can always hear some new words from the emperor, even if they don't understand some things that the emperor says, most of them will not object.

So, Xiao Yiran continued:

"Since the state is to be established, since the size of the state is larger than one ethnic group, then, of course, the state must have a comprehensive administration. It turns out that the dragon clan has a total of ten departments, namely: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Health, the Department of Manufacturing, the Department of Hunting, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Intelligence, the Department of Breeding, the Ministry of Education, and the General Staff. At present, these 10 departments basically cover all aspects of the country, but the responsibilities of some departments overlap with each other, which is not conducive to the evaluation of the work performance of individual departments. In addition, there are individual departments that have too many responsibilities and need to be broken down.

In view of this, the following adjustments are made:

First, the Ministry of Hunting and the Ministry of Breeding were merged to form the Ministry of Animal Husbandry, with Xiong Shan as the minister and the former Minister of Breeding as the vice minister.

Second, the Ministry of Transport will be established to reduce the burden on the Ministry of Finance. Minister of Transport Zhao Chuan.

In this way, it is still the top ten departments. The ministers and deputy ministers of various departments, in accordance with the previous system, are assessed once a year to ensure the survival of the fittest.

In addition, the state implements the system of civil and military officials. Officers of the military department belong to military attachés, and officials of other departments belong to civilian officials. Military attachés have twelve military ranks, from the largest to the smallest: marshal, general, general, lieutenant general, major general, colonel, colonel, lieutenant colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, and second lieutenant.

The civil officials set up thirteen ranks, from large to small: Zhengfu Prime Minister, also known as the left and right Prime Ministers, Shangshu, Zhengfu Shilang, Zhengfu Taishou, Zhengfu Prefect, Zhengfu Zhixian, Zhengfu President.

Civil and military officials, different grades, take different salaries. ”

Xiao Yiran knew that such a complicated noun needed to give the members of the Presbyterian Church a process of digestion and absorption.

Finally, Siu asked the members of the Presbyterian Church the name of the country they had founded. This time, however, there was a great deal of unanimity, and it was unanimously agreed to call the newly established country "Xiao Guo". In this regard, Xiao Yiran himself is also very satisfied.

As for the relevant policies and regulations formulated in the past, the rules and regulations of various departments, etc., will be gradually improved in the following elders' meetings. By the end of summer, the first qiē about Xiao Guo had already taken shape, and all departments were operating normally. A larger banner embroidered with the word "Xiao" stood on the square in front of the palace.

At the same time, Xiao State initially established three counties, namely Longshan County and Taishou Xiaochun; Mengyuehe County, Taishou Xiaomei; Zhao Jun, Xiao An concurrently served as the Taishou. The capital city looks at the mountain city, and the head of the city is relative to the prime minister of Fu, and Li Yu is concurrently serving as it. The ministers of various departments are no longer called ministers, but are renamed Zhengfu Shangshu. Set up two prime ministers, the left prime minister Xiao An, and the right prime minister Li Yu. Xiao An is positive, and Li Yu is paying. Since Li Yu also served as the head of the capital, the staff was handed over to Zhao He for management, and Zhao He was promoted to the secretary of the staff department.

The secretary of the military department is no longer concurrently held by the emperor, and the emperor is the only marshal of Xiao State, commanding all the armies. Xiang Lin, Lin Zhan, Xuan Liang, and Cao Ying are the four major generals. Tianli, who led the army to garrison Mengyue River and Longshan County, was promoted to a general. The commanders of the other regiments are also with the rank of general. The deputy regiment commander is the rank of lieutenant general, the battalion commander is the rank of major general, the deputy battalion commander is the rank of colonel, and so on. Only the commander of the women's independent battalion was awarded the rank of lieutenant general, and Xiao Yiran's maid Xiaoqiu served as it. Prime Minister Xiao An no longer serves as the commander of the women's independent battalion.

In order to avoid some bad influences, when arranging the positions of various departments this time, Xiao Yiran did not let the remaining fourteen personal guards, except for Li Yu, Xuan Liang and Wei Nan, the other twelve people occupy key positions. Most of them are in the secondary position of the Shangshu of various departments - Zhengfu Shilang.

Among them, Wei Long and Wei Tian are paying for the Ministry of Intelligence; Wei Wen and Wei Qian, who are paying for the Ministry of War; The manufacturing department has Weizhou and Weiyue, the Ministry of Agriculture has Weidong and Weilu, the Ministry of Animal Husbandry has Weishuang, and the Ministry of Transportation has Weixi and Weibei. In addition, there are eight maids, except for Xiaochun and Xiaomei who went to Longshan and Mengyuehe counties to be Taishou, the Ministry of Health has Xiaoxia and Xiaodong, and the Ministry of Finance has Xiaolan. Xiaoju and Xiaozhu still stayed by Xiao Yiran's side.

After more than four months of recuperation, Xuan Liang has been able to move in the field, and during the period of Xuan Liang's recuperation, the training of the cavalry division was temporarily transferred from the Ministry of Intelligence to Wei Long to take charge.

It wasn't until he saw that Xuan Liang was still a little weak, and there was no major problem anymore, that Xiao Yiran recovered and let the guards sleep. It's just that because the fourteen guards all have deacons, Xiao Yiran did not arrange the shift as before. Instead, it was handed over to Li Yu, and it was arranged immediately according to the number of personal guards who stayed in the capital. Basically, it's still two people for one night, and occasionally only one person is free.

Although, whether it was a member of the Council of Elders or Li Yu, they all selected some more personnel to fill the team of personal guards, Xiao Yiran never agreed. Recently, Xiao Yiran has been observing Zhao He, who is already the secretary of the General Staff, and Li Yu has also privately reported to Xiao Yiran:

"Zhao He has never had a family, and as for whether there are women in the original ethnic group, it is still unknown."

Li Yujian said:

"If the emperor thinks that Zhao He is not bad, it is better to select him into the personal guard, so that he can better envelop this person, this person does have something extraordinary."
