After the end of this military and political meeting, Zhao Ziliang convened the generals in the army in the afternoon to discuss the reorganization of the army, and the more than 90,000 Western Qin troops brought back from the Central Plains were very suitable for the situation of the year after many reorganizations, both in terms of operations and command, so there was no need to reorganize them, only the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses who had remained in Western Qin needed to be reorganized.

Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Hu, Huo Kan, Wei Meng, Xuan Yi, Xuan Er and other generals who stayed behind: "Let you come here to discuss with you the reorganization of the 30,000 troops left behind in Western Qin!" For so many years after the departure of this king, this king does not know whether the left-behind army has always maintained the rule of diligent training, whether there is any relaxation in military discipline, and whether the ordnance and equipment are replaced every year? These kings are not clear, this king did not go to various places to inspect during this time, no matter what happened before, this king does not care, but from now on to carry out reorganization and training, not only the remaining army needs to be reorganized and trained, even the army brought back by this king also needs to increase its strength to practice, in order to adapt to the combat situation of deserts, rivers, hills, mountains and forests and other terrains as soon as possible, do you have any questions? ”

How dare the generals say that there is a problem and want to oppose it? Even if it was relaxed before, it should be grasped at this time, so the generals said that there was no problem, and they would definitely cooperate with the Military Aircraft Institute to carry out reorganization and training, and some elderly soldiers or soldiers with injuries would definitely be required to retire.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the generals had no opinions, so he continued: "Okay, on the one hand, this reorganization is to carry out reorganization in terms of establishment, the second is to eliminate weak soldiers, and the training is also to strengthen combat effectiveness, and the third is to inspect military discipline. After the reorganization, the largest operational establishment is the corps, each corps has its own number, depending on the garrison area and the actual situation, each corps is generally 12,800 people, some only 9,000, some because of the need, so the strength will be relatively more, you will get the reorganization plan later, I will give you two months, two months later, I will go to various places in turn, and if I find problems, I will play the board, so you better not do it properly! ”

The generals promised: "Yes, King! ”

Now the number of soldiers and horses in the entire Western Qin has 120,000 people, according to Zhao Ziliang's plan, to be reorganized into nine corps, because the cavalry training is difficult, but in the terrain of Central Asia, the cavalry is the main combat force, so there are 80,000 cavalry, 40,000 infantry, although the 40,000 infantry usually train siege matters, but if there is no need to fight in the future, they are generally not responsible for siege matters, and the siege matters are responsible for the servant army, and these 120,000 horses are mainly responsible for field warfare and defending the land of Western Qin.

The commander of the First Legion (Tigers) was Zhao Hu; The commander of the Second Legion (Jiaolong) is Bai Xiaode; The commander of the Third Legion (Eagle) is Li Sheng, and the commander of the Fourth Legion (Hungry Wolf) is Wei Meng; The commander of the Fifth Legion (Storm Bear) is Hokan; The commander of the Sixth Legion (Kirin) is Genichi; The commander of the Seventh Legion (Suzaku) is Genji; The commander of the Eighth Legion (Xuanwu) was Xuansan; The leader of the Ninth Legion (Lion King) is Xuansi.

In addition to these nine legions, there are three other legions to protect the safety of the palace, namely the Guard Legion, the Guards Legion and the Dragon Guard Legion, of which the Guard Legion and the Guards Legion each have 5,000 people, while the Dragon Guard Legion has only 1,000 people, but these 1,000 people are drawn from the whole army and are composed of tall and strong people who are extremely brave, wearing heavy armor and equipped with sharp horizontal swords, which are the core of the palace guards. The composition of the three legions is not static, and it is reorganized every two years, and the new three legions will replace the original three legions to protect the safety of the palace.

In order to strengthen the war potential of Western Qin, Zhao Ziliang ordered the implementation of a conscription method combining compulsory soldiers and conscription systems, compulsory soldiers implement a three-year system, a one-year training period and a two-year service period, after passing the assessment after the expiration of the year, they can stay as professional soldiers, conscripts only have living allowances and no military pay within three years, professional soldiers have military salaries, and after the conscripts pass the assessment, they will retire and go home, and conscripts are adult men who have reached the age of eighteen and must serve in the military, which is a mandatory order, whether it is a member of the royal family or ordinary people, All equally.

Professional soldiers will be based on these 120,000 for the time being, and after three years, a part of them will be retired each year, and the vacancies will be filled by those who have passed the examination in the compulsory service, so that the number of professional soldiers will always be maintained at about 120,000.

Of course, this is peacetime, and in wartime, conscripts must also go to the battlefield after completing their training, and if the number of troops is insufficient, emergency mobilization is required, and former retired soldiers must obey the call-up and return to the army to participate in the war.

In accordance with the rules and habits of the Central Plains Imperial Court, Zhao Ziliang convened military and political officials on the first and fifteenth days of each month to discuss and solve major military and political affairs. The former Jiedu Embassy was renamed the royal court by him, and the other central institutions of the yamen found their own offices in Henglus City.

On the first day of the second month of the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, the main military and political officials gathered in the royal court to participate in the small court meeting, and Zhao Ziliang discussed and decided on major military and political affairs with everyone.

"Wait for the king!" The main officials of the two courtyards, two guards, one temple and one mansion under the royal court all bowed down and saluted after seeing Zhao Ziliang coming over.

"Let's all be exempt!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand after sitting down.

"King Xie!"

There are a total of ten major military and political officials, all of whom are gathered here, namely Liu Wei, Dugujun, Gao Shang, Cen Shen, Gao Shi, Chu Ge, Li Siye, Zheng San, Zhao Hu, and Chen Qing.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "Half a month has passed, how are the various yamen institutions in the center of the royal court organized?" ”

Liu Wei stood up and arched his hand: "King Qiqi, the Government Council and its subordinate yamen institutions have all completed their components, and they have begun to re-handle official affairs three days ago!" ”

Next, the principal officials and generals of the other central yamen organs all stood up in turn to report on the progress of the formation of their respective yamen, and basically completed the formation of the structure and began to get on the right track.

After listening to this, Zhao Ziliang said: "Very good, this king has decided to change the cities under the four systems of Kunling Metropolitan Protectorate, Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate, Broken Leaf Metropolitan Protectorate and Taixi Metropolitan Protectorate into a county system, and one city is a county; In addition, the Taixi Protectorate was divided into two, and the place where the Sogdians lived in the land of the Zhaowu Nine Surnames was set up as the Kangju Protectorate, and the place where the Tocharians lived was set up as the Yueshi Protectorate, so that there were five Metropolitan Protectorates, and the counties under the jurisdiction of each Metropolitan Protectorate were more or less, and in line with the principle of one city and one county, the other central yamen institutions should quickly dispatch offices in each county, and set up high-level offices in the cities where the five Metropolitan Protectorate Offices were located, called a certain office, for example, the Jinyi Guard should set up the Jinyi Guard Hall in the city of Sama; Set up an intermediate office in the county, and Jinyiwei should set up a Jinyi bathroom in the county; In some counties, there are several towns, and Jinyiwei also has to set up low-level offices at the town level, called Jinyiwei, and the same is true for others. The government affairs yamen does not need to be called like this, and is directly called the capital protection office, a certain county office, and a certain town. In addition, the Military Aircraft Institute should also set up offices in administrative regions at all levels for garrisoning, conscription, and bereavement pensions. Do you understand that the Administrative Council should report the administrative establishment of the administrative regions at all levels as soon as possible, and that the other central organs should also dispatch their dispatched agencies to the administrative organs at the lower levels as soon as possible? ”

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "Understood!" ”

At this time, Liu Wei stood up and said: "King, in the past, we only had more than 50,000 or less than 60,000 soldiers and horses, but now we have nearly twice as many troops, and military spending will increase greatly, which will bring a great burden to our finances!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "So what do you mean?" ”

Liu Wei said: "Your Majesty thinks that you should cut some troops!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Zheng San and asked, "According to our current number of troops, how much military expenditure is needed every year?" ”

Zheng San calculated, stood up and hugged his fists and said, "King, if you have to change your equipment every year, it will take about eight million per year!" If you change the equipment every two years, you only need five million pieces."

Zhao Ziliang asked Liu Wei again: "Lord Liu, we have never collected taxes from local residents before, only from passing business travelers, and last year's financial revenue was 9 million yuan, this king is not wrong, right?" ”

Liu said: "Yes, the king! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "We have ruled here for so many years, but we have not collected a penny of taxes from the local residents, and we have started to collect taxes from local residents this year, is it not excessive?" If they don't pay their taxes, how can we protect their lives? How to protect their property? ”

Liu Wei said: "It is feasible for the king to collect taxes, so many years have passed, our rule here has been stabilized, and now the number of our Han people is the majority here, as long as the Han people pay taxes, the other ethnic groups cannot fail to pay taxes!" ”

"Very well, you calculate, if we collect taxes, how much can we achieve this year's fiscal revenue?"

Liu Wei calculated and arched his hand: "If the tax revenue of the past business travel remains unchanged, you can receive about 25 million yuan!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Is it too much for this king to use 10 million guan to maintain the number and combat effectiveness of the army in order to achieve our goal of maintaining our rule here?" ”

"This ······ Since the king said so, his subordinates have no objection! ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "How much silver money is left in the treasury?" ”

Liu Wei said: "In addition to the military expenses of the left-behind garrisons, the salaries of officials, the office expenses of the government, etc., there are still 21 million yuan left in the accounts of the government treasury!" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled when he heard this: "It seems that all of you adults are people who can accumulate wealth, and after so many years of taxes, except for the expenses you just mentioned, you basically haven't spent them indiscriminately." I want to praise you and thank you for this, but I want to blame you, because you don't understand that for the government, the more money is used, the more money is available, and if the government saves up taxes and does not use it, where will the people go to make money? There is a quantity of gold, silver and copper produced in various places every year, and there will be losses, if you hide the money and don't use it, the people will not be able to make money, and the money needs to be circulated in order to play its value, understand? The government spends the money, the old white watermelon can only buy things when it earns money, the merchants can produce and transport goods to sell to the people, and the government can collect taxes again, the faster the money circulates, the more taxes the government will receive, and vice versa. So we have to spend all the money, so that the people have money to earn, how to spend it? That's what we're going to talk about! ”
