Chapter 107: Canglong Codex

Along the way, some people rejoiced, and some people were disappointed.

In general, Tian Yu, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, etc., Liu Kuan's family, Liu He, Yan Rou, Liu Qiao, Liu Kuan's brothers, Tian Yu, Wuqiu Jian, Zhao Yun, Youzhou's old ministers Qi Zhou, Han Dang, Gongsun Du, etc., Qiu Liju, Budugen, Kebineng, and Bundun of the northern tribes, Yingchuan celebrities Xun You, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Man Chong, Mao Jue, representatives of other states and people who surrendered, Zhang Zhao, Kong Rong, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wan Qian, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Zhang Jaw, and Zhao Zhao, together with Zhang Yan, the general of the Montenegrin army, were all reused.

Liu Kuan generally took into account the forces of all parties, considered the merits, and the quantity was useful, with a slight tilt. All forces can accept it.

Tian Yu, Xian Yufu, Zhang Zhao, Xun Yu, Fu Zhu and others are in power, which shows Liu Kuan's reliance on several people. And Xun You and Xu Shu are inseparable from Liu Kuan, and they are both regarded as Liu Kuan's henchmen.

The only thing that caused a stir was Liu Kuan's government system and the appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials, who had obviously ignored the imperial court system and decided to do something else.

All kinds of rhetoric and emotions are rising in the north. There was a lot of opposition and curses. Most of the subordinates and generals were enthusiastic, looking forward to following Liu Kuan to conquer the world, and began their ambition of being a prince and general.

Liu Kuan nominally led the six northern states, but Xuzhou was still in the hands of Tao Qian, and Mengzhou and Liaozhou were set up, and he actually controlled the seven northern states. Soon after, a series of decrees were issued by the Military Aircraft Division.

First of all, the National Academy was established, with Kong Rong as the dean, recruiting professors and students, and branches were set up in various states one after another, not only to study the hundred schools of thought, but also to study mathematics, engineering, etc.

At the same time, the medical school was formally established, with Hua Tuo as the dean, integrating the original medical museum in Youzhou, and setting up branches in various states.

Second, the grassland animal husbandry industry should be reformed, and cities should continue to be built in the grasslands, counties and pastures should be divided, and grazing and farming should continue to be freely chosen.

Merchants are again allowed to wholesale salt from the government-run Yantian, and the official guidance is to set prices and franchises, and merchants are allowed to participate in coal mines, iron mines, and pastures. At the same time, the tax rate and land rent tax rate of all states and counties were reduced, and the old system of 30 taxes and one tax in the early Han Dynasty was implemented, which truly achieved low taxes.

Due to the increase in the production of new crops, the opening of salt pans, the mining of coal and iron mines, and the full liberalization of commerce, the tax rate in the north was extremely low, but the total amount of taxes was extremely considerable.

What made a greater impact on everyone was the announcement that the Northern Governor's Office would carry out a comprehensive military reform. The northern army is collectively referred to as the Han National Army, and its banner is the Canglong red banner, the flag is red, and the dragon pattern is dark cyan.

The Han National Army set up five major group armies, the commander of the second group army Gongsun Du, under the four armies, the commanders were Gongsun Du, Bu Dugen, Tai Shi Ci, Jian Ju, each army of 15,000 people stationed in Liaozhou, Youzhou, guarding Youzhou, Liao, monitoring Sanhan and Liu Bei.

Yan Rou, commander of the Third Group Army, had four armies, the commanders of which were Yan Rou, Zhang Jaw, Zhang Yan, and Yin Li, with 15,000 men each, stationed troops in the western part of Mengzhou, passing through Yongzhou and Liangzhou, to defend the Xiongnu.

The commander of the Fourth Group Army, Xian Yufu, consists of four armies, the commanders are Xian Yufu, Wu Anguo, Zang Ba, and Badun, with 15,000 people per army, stationed troops in Qingzhou, passing through Xuzhou. Tian Yu, the commander of the Fifth Group Army, and the commanders were Tian Yu, Sun Guan, Zhao Zhao, and Pan Feng, with 15,000 people per army.

Han Dang, commander of the First Group Army, the army commanders were Han Dang, Wuqiu Jian, Dian Wei, and Liu Qiao, Wu Qiu Jian concurrently served as the general of Yecheng, responsible for the defense and public security of Yecheng, the governor's office, Han Dang and Wu Qiu Jian each led 25,000 people, Dian Wei and Liu Qiao each led 15,000 cavalry of the tiger and leopard battalion, and the First Group Army was stationed in Jizhou and was Liu Kuan's army.

Each army has a brigade commander with 5,000 men per brigade, and battalions, teams, and squads are set up under the brigade in turn, with 1,000 men per battalion, 100 men per team, and 10 men per squad.

In addition to the lieutenants and reserve forces of each county, the seven northern prefectures have a total of 320,000 regular troops. There were 30,000 cavalry in the First Army, and 15,000 cavalry in each of the remaining armies, for a total of 80,000 cavalry. Each group army has a Mo knife battalion and a strong crossbow battalion, and the cavalry is equipped with stirrups, saddles and some Mo knives and strong crossbows. After the restructuring, the military strength of the seven northern states became stronger and stronger.

After the expansion of Yecheng, Liu Kuan moved the governor's palace to Yecheng, set up a lecture hall in Yecheng, appointed himself as the chief instructor of the lecture hall, and arranged for officers above the team to train in rotation in the lecture hall.

A year later, with Liu Kuan's personal participation, after repeated deliberations by the Military Aircraft Department, extensive consultation, and repeated revisions, the Governor's Office promulgated the Han "National Law". Its general program is the "Three People's Principles", that is, "nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood".

It is forbidden to discriminate against or oppress any ethnic group within the territory of the Han Dynasty or to whom it has been attached, and to prohibit acts that undermine national unity and create ethnic separatism. According to the characteristics and needs of the ethnic minorities, the imperial court helped the ethnic minority areas to accelerate their economic and cultural development. All ethnic minority areas were an inseparable part of the Han Dynasty, and all ethnic groups had the freedom to use and develop their own spoken and written languages, the freedom to maintain or reform their own customs and habits, the freedom to move, reside, intermarry, join the army, take imperial examinations, and choose occupations, and the people of all ethnic groups had equal rights and obligations.

The Criminal Law implements the principle of legality of crimes and the principle of proportionality of crimes, that is, where the law clearly stipulates that it is a criminal act, it is convicted and sentenced in accordance with the law; Acts that are not expressly criminalized by law shall not be convicted and punished; The severity of the punishment shall be commensurate with the crime committed and the criminal responsibility borne by the convict. All persons are equal before the law.

The imperial court implements the monopoly of salt fields, coal mines, and iron mines, and after obtaining the monopoly license, the people can operate salt, coal, iron smelting and other industries, and the people are free to do business except for the monopoly industries.

Regardless of military service, farming, herding, craftsmen, doctors, teachers, those who have made outstanding achievements and have made meritorious contributions can be awarded knighthoods and related fields, pastures, and money and goods in accordance with the law. The titles are tentatively set as four classes, such as the fourth baron, the third baron, the second baron, and the first baron. Those who have titles do not kneel when they see officials.

The imperial court implements the imperial examination once every three years, and those who are admitted to the county examination are bachelor's degrees, those who pass the county examination are master's degrees, those who pass the state examination are doctors, and those who pass the governor's office policy are jinshi. Those with a master's degree or above will be arranged by the imperial court to enter the government, the army, the salt pans, and the mines as officials. Those with a bachelor's degree or above are exempt from forced labor, and they do not kneel before officials.
