Chapter 43: National Policy (I)
After the restructuring of the Yan Kingdom last year, there was a huge shortage of officials in various departments of the court. The arrival of officials from various departments in Liaodi, such as Jun Xiangju Xin and General Rong Yan, quickly filled the vacancies of officials from various departments after the restructuring of Yan State.
The court hall of the entire Yan Kingdom has begun to operate at a high speed step by step.
This made Ji Kang's burden a lot easier.
can also spare more time to accompany his father Ji Ming and mother Ji Zhao who are sick in bed.
Of course, there are also my three wives with big bellies.
It's a lovely day like this!
It's also peaceful like this!
But Ji Kang knew in his heart that this was just the calm before the storm.
The high-level officials of the Yan Kingdom court also know that after the cold winter, spring is coming.
The Yan Kingdom is about to start a violent storm against the entire Central Plains.
Time always flies without people noticing.
The war in the Central Plains finally began to gradually stop after entering December.
Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and Yin Huangxie, the commander of Chu, sent Jing Yang, the general of Chu, to lead the Chu army, after advancing to Ningxinzhong.
In order to avoid another joint attack between the countries of the Central Plains, Qin Wang Yingji ordered the Qin general Zhao Ji to stop the attack on Zhao.
In mid-December, the Qin army returned to Hangu Pass.
Qi and Wei also ceased troops on the border, and the two armies returned to their respective countries.
Approaching the end of the year, with the advent of a heavy snowfall, this land in the east finally calmed down.
On December 16, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, the military machine pavilion of the Jigong Palace.
The office of the Military Aircraft Pavilion is opposite the Ji Kang Secretary Palace.
For the establishment of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, the Yanguo Court did not set off the slightest ripple.
After nearly a month of operation, the Military Aircraft Pavilion has been operating normally.
Six ministers, including the military aircraft cabinet Su belly, were called "cabinet ministers" by court officials.
Su belly, Ju Xin and other six people have a clear division of labor for each department of the court, and they are each responsible for a piece.
This mechanism of clear division of labor and efficient decision-making was seen and praised by many officials in the court.
For example, the handling of some government affairs in various departments of the court had to be circulated layer by layer in the past.
Finally, after Ji Kang reads it, a conclusive conclusion can be formed.
At present, all departments only need to hand over the administrative affairs of their own departments to the ministers in charge of their own departments.
In general government affairs, the minister in charge of the cabinet has the right to deal with it; If it is larger or requires the cooperation of multiple departments, several cabinets can meet and discuss, and they can be quickly passed.
I don't know how many times more efficient than in the past.
Of course, major matters still have to be decided by Prince Ji Kang himself.
When Ji Kang walked into the Military Aircraft Pavilion, a wave of heat rolled in.
Ji Kang shook the snowflakes on his body, took off the cloak on his body, and handed it to the attendant behind him.
waved his hand to stop the salute of the six ministers such as Su belly and drama Xin.
Then he walked to the main seat and sat down.
looked at the six ministers in the pavilion, and said to everyone with a smile:
"It's almost the New Year, everyone's New Year's goods are ready, right?"
Everyone laughed, stood up together and thanked Ji Kang, "Thank you, prince." It's all set. ”
Ji Kang waved his hand, asked everyone to sit down, and said:
"This year, the war in the Central Plains has finally been extinguished before the New Year's Festival, and my Yan Kingdom has also been recuperating for more than a year. Today, I would like to ask all the ministers, what should I do in the coming year? Let's talk freely and share our thoughts! ”
After that, Ji Kang picked up the porcelain cup on the table in front of him, took a sip of water, and waited for everyone to speak.
In the corner of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Han Fei and Ju Wu, who were about to make a record, saw that the six pavilion ministers all bowed their heads and pondered.
The whole pavilion was silent.
Ji Kang's question is very important, to put it bluntly, it is the future national policy of Yan Kingdom.
The issue is too big and too important.
It's about the future direction of Yanguo!
It is about the fate of more than 13 million people in Yan Kingdom!
It's more about the national fortune of Yan Kingdom!
Although everyone got Ji Kang's notice a few days ago, they were prepared.
But at this time, it is still necessary to carefully calculate and deliberate in your heart.
Mr. Lu Zhonglian stood up first, bowed to Ji Kang and said:
"Prince, today is a world of great contention. Looking at the practices of the princes and countries of the world, if you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die. In fact, my Yan country has no choice, and there is no buffer room. Only by fighting hard can we exchange for the survival of my Yan country. ”
Lu Zhonglian's words have been said very clearly.
Everyone did not have the slightest objection to this, and they all nodded their heads in support.
Yaqing Jiangqu also stood up and said to Ji Kangyan:
"Prince, today, the Qin State has killed the Son of Heaven, stole the Jiuding in Qin, and has the ambition to destroy the Six Kingdoms and unify the world. Although in the battle of Handan, he was connived with my Yan country and other countries, but his heart was not dead. The Qin State is the great enemy of my Yan in the future. ”
Ji Kang and the ministers present also understand this truth.
Su belly frowned, stood up and said to Ji Kang:
"Prince, there are two options for the future of my Yan Kingdom: first, take the initiative; Second, it is passive. The one who takes the initiative is like King Zhaoxian, who strikes first; The passive one will be the master of the city, sitting quietly and watching the world fight. But how to choose? It's all in the prince's thoughts. ”
This is a rhetorical question to Ji Kang, do you want to be the master of Shoucheng? Or would you like to sit on the Lord of Pioneers?
Old Mr. Su Dai also stood up, bowed to Ji Kang and said:
"Prince, as Lu Xiang said just now, the world is already in a world of great controversy. My Yan Kingdom is the descendant of the Zhou Dynasty, when I inherit the will of the Son of Heaven, complete the unification of the world, and accept the Central Plains under the jurisdiction of my Yan Kingdom, it is orthodox! ”
Mr. Su Dai's words are also very clear, your Ji Kang's responsibility cannot be evaded.
It is to unify the world.
Ji Kang took a look at the drama and the general Rong Yan who had not yet spoken in the cabinet.
smiled and said to the two: "Drama, General Rong, what do you two think?" ”
Rong Yan watched the drama Xin, and saw that the drama Xin smiled and nodded to himself.
He was no longer polite, stood up and hugged his fists and said to Ji Kang:
"Prince, the last general is a soldier. As a soldier, my view is very simple, that is, everything must be spoken by the weapon in your hand. Now that the world is so turbulent and the people are displaced, in the past ten years, I have sheltered more than one million displaced people in Liao alone. ”
"Prince, my Yan country has 400,000 regular soldiers, which is unprecedented in the world. And my Yan general soldiers are sharp and well-trained. And our country's grain, grass, and military funds can be used for several years. The minister thought that the coming year would be the time for my Yan Kingdom to step into the Central Plains. ”
The regular soldiers mentioned by Rong Yi are relative to the countries of the Central Plains.
The current countries of the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of troops are dispatched at every turn, but in fact, it is the result of all the people being soldiers.
Generally, each country is divided into three types: regular soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilian soldiers.
For example, in the Qin State, after the battle between Changping and Handan, the current 400,000 troops of the Qin army are at most 200,000 regular soldiers, and the remaining 200,000 troops are auxiliaries and people.
And the 400,000 army of Yan is a real 400,000 regular army.
Because of Ji Kang, the way of organization and management brought about is fundamentally different from that of the Central Plains countries.
The current 400,000 troops of the Yan Kingdom, except for a small number of medical personnel and logistics personnel, are all personnel who do the battle sequence.
Moreover, these 400,000 troops, in addition to disaster relief and military reclamation to grow food, are in peacetime.
The rest of the time was spent organized for rigorous military training.
Ju Xin stood up, looked at Ji Kang and said, "Prince, my Yan Kingdom has been aggressive since King Zhaoxian. Whether it is attacking Hu Yi in the east or Qi in the south, it has established the status of our Yan country as one of the seven strongest countries in the world. ”
"After the prince divided the Liao land, he destroyed Fuyu in the east, broke the Ji country in the south, and expanded the territory in the north. So far, the territory of our Yan country is wide, the number of people, the prosperity of soldiers, and the abundance of products are all unprecedented. ”
"Today, the great event of reunification has been accomplished. is waiting for my Yan country, sweeping Liuhe in one go. And those who are strong in the world and Yan State, the ministers think that there is no more, even the Qin State is not good. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Xin bowed deeply to Ji Kang and said:
"Prince, my Yan Kingdom will dominate the world in this dynasty, please make a decision on it Your Highness."
