The empire was newly established, and everything was in its infancy, and major matters such as dispatching officials to various places, distributing supplies, and pacifying the people had yet to be resolved.

But before that, Liu Yuan has two more things to do.

The first is the issue of redividing the territorial states and counties under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Empire.

In Liu Yuan's view, the division of the thirteen states of the former Han Dynasty was indeed unreasonable. The reasons for this vary depending on the location and inconvenience of transportation. Therefore, if Liu Yuan wants to re-divide the state and county, then the traffic problem must be solved first.

Easy access with many benefits. The most important thing is to strengthen the central court's control over the localities. In addition, the transportation is much more convenient, such as trade, marching, issuing government decrees, etc.

Therefore, the day after the reward was completed, Liu Yuan ordered the Ministry of Industry to start building a Chi Road south of the Yellow River, completely connecting Henan and Hebei to achieve synchronization.

With the order of Emperor Shenwu, the Hu people in northern Xinjiang who have not yet got rid of their slave status, and the people in Henan prefectures and counties who are willing to work for relief, rushed to the construction site to build the planned galloping network system that extends in all directions.

At the same time, with the appointment of officials and the paving of the government affairs system, a large amount of grain and grass was distributed to all parts of the country in batches through the army and mercenary trade unions from the large granaries of Hebei's prefectures and counties.

There are also excellent seeds, which are also starting to be released simultaneously.

These things can't be done in a day or two, so there is still some time to put aside the re-issuance of the state and county.

The second is the reorganization of the armed forces.

Not to mention the original Youzhou itself, the number of troops and defense areas of the nine major legions are a little chaotic, but because of the Dingding Central Plains, the capture of nearly a million troops is a huge and extremely serious burden, if it is not solved earlier, Liu Yuan is really rich and has to be dragged down.

Therefore, the order was given together with the construction of the gallop road, etc., and the reorganization of the army.

Streamline the army and eliminate the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Striving for perfection has always been Liu Yuan's proposition.

Xu Huang, Huang Chang, Yan Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Lu Yi, Ma Chao, and Gan Ning are the nine generals of the Military Commission. The nine people received the order of Guo Jiazhi, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and immediately issued a military order to conduct a large-scale screening of the whole army, and at the same time, the army of millions of prisoners was also screened.

In fact, now the commanders of the Ninth Army are no longer directly in control of the army because they are in charge of the Military Commission, but exist as a high-level military decision-maker. Almost all of the nine legions were under the control of his deputy.

For example, Zhao Yun's army, the current direct controller, is Zhang Liao.

At the same time, in the process of greatly streamlining the army, Emperor Shenwu Liu Yuan redivided the defense areas of the major legions.

The northeast is still the defense area of the Liaodong Army, the location of the garrison, Lihan City; Northern Xinjiang is still guarded by Zhao Yun's army, and the town guard location, the Beihai camp; Mobei is still guarded by Xu Huang's legion, and the location is Heyun Fortress; The Western Regions is the defense area of the Ma Chao Legion, and the town guard location is Shanshan; Yizhou in the southwest is the defense area of the Gaoshun Army, and the town guard is Chengdu; Jiaozhou, South Vietnam, is the defense area of the Koyi Legion, and the town is guarded in Jiaozhi County; The southeast defense area is guarded by the Huangchang Army, and the garrison location is Wu County, Wu County; Qingzhou, Shandong Province is the defense area of the Yanliang Army, and the town guard location is Donglai.

At the same time, the naval division was divided into three, namely the Beiyang Naval Division, the East China Sea Division, and the Nanyang Naval Division. The Beiyang Naval Division was commanded by Zhou Tai, and the garrison point was at Dagukou; The East China Sea Division was commanded by Sun Ce, and the garrison was at Dantu in Wu County; The Nanyang Naval Division was led by Jiang Qin and garrisoned at Xuwen (present-day Qiongzhou Strait), across the sea from Zhuya Prefecture at the southernmost tip of Hepu County.

The Shanyue army was dispersed and assigned to the major armies, and the Shanyue general Ke Xun returned to Luoyang and was placed under the second deputy commander of the forbidden army of the Shenwu Emperor's Palace.

The nine major legions were stationed on one side, and the central government seemed empty, so Liu Yuan ordered to build a central army of 200,000, which was formed by selecting elites from the major legions. Liu Yuan took the position of commander of the regiment, and the affairs were handed over to the deputy commander Pan Feng.

There are also 100,000 forbidden troops, the commander is Dian Wei, and the deputy commanders are Cai Yang and Ke Xun.

In the autumn of 197, the entire Chinese Empire was completely on the right track, and at the same time, Empress Cai Yan gave birth to a son for Shenwu Emperor Liu Yuan, named Liu Ze, who was the eldest prince, and Princess Liu Qiu was the eldest princess of Shenwu.

In the spring of 198, Liu Yuan promulgated the ethnic policy.

It was ordered that all ethnic groups in the country, the Hu people who had taken off their slave status, and the Hu people in the Western Regions must all become Han nationals, all of whom are Han Chinese!

At the same time, intermarriage was encouraged, and the entire Chinese empire was built into a single nation.

In the summer, Emperor Shenwu ordered the establishment of the Huaxia Bank, which collected the world's gold and silver, and replaced it with paper bills.

In the autumn, Emperor Shenwu ordered that under the State Council, another department would be established as the Ministry of Commerce. Zhen Yi served as the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Mi Zhu was the left waiter, and Yan Jiayan should be the right waiter in Shuzhong, and the rest of the cadres walked and engaged, all from Huaxia, the Central Plains Commercial Bank, and the country's major merchants selected good businessmen to serve as decision-making on internal business policies and foreign commercial trade.

In the summer of 199, Emperor Shenwu separated a department of agricultural affairs from the Ministry of Household Affairs and re-established a part for the Ministry of Agriculture. At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Information was set up to be responsible for speaking abroad and controlling public opinion internally.

The Ministry of Agriculture is the former head of the farmer's family, and the current dean of the College of Agriculture of Huaxia University is the old Mu Yuanmu, and the rest of the cadres and servants are selected from the college to be proficient in this way of graduates and professors.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of Information is served by Li Xi, the former novelist suzerain, and the rest of the squire, engagement, and walking clubs are all from the former famous scholars, columnists, and novelists among the elites, as well as the elite graduates of the academy who specialize in this subject.

In 200, Empress Cai Yan gave birth to a daughter for Emperor Shenwu again, and at the same time, Concubine Ying Qiao Ying gave birth to a son for Emperor Shenwu, and Concubine Qiao Yu, Zhen Mi, and Diao Chan also gave birth to a daughter in the same year.

In the same year, Liu Yuan established the Mercenary Department, fully incorporated the Mercenary Union into the political axe system, and appointed Liu Zhang as the secretary of the Mercenary Department.

To the north of Luoyang, there is a large complex of buildings surrounded by a wall, which is Huaxia University.

On the 81-zhang wide bluestone arch, the four big characters of 'Huaxia University' shimmer in the sun. It was noon, and groups of students and professors came out of it.

"Hello Dean Zheng!"

"Hello Dean Cai!"

"Hello Dean Mo!"

A few old men with gray hair and ruddy faces walked out, and students and professors all bowed down to greet them.

Aren't these people Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Mo Zheng, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others?

"You don't know," Cai Yong shook his head while laughing: "We old guys are so tired every day that we want to live, our Majesty, it's very easy!" ”

"Your Majesty is a wise man through the ages, and he is well versed in the way of employing people, isn't it surprising?" Sima Hui smiled.

Cai Yong glanced at him and said, "Why don't you cooperate?" Anyway, according to this, from our majesty, get a few jars of good wine, right? ”

When everyone heard this, they all smashed it, smashed it, and their throats rolled.

"That's true." Pang Degong complained: "My old man never drinks alcohol, but he made an exception in the hands of His Majesty, and the evening is not guaranteed!" ”

"Blame you!" Zheng Xuan smiled and said: "I will see Your Majesty later, I want to get wine, but I don't have your share!" ”

"Hey, that's not going to work!"

Several old men with high power and prestige in the world are like a group of children at this time, playing and making trouble, so unhappy.

"Speaking of which, your majesty's wine is really a good thing." Pang Degong sighed: "Old man, I felt a few years ago, my energy and physical strength have declined greatly, and I am about to return to heaven, but I didn't expect to drink two jars of wine, this body is very good, and the spirit is very good, and now it is too one god to invite me personally, and I can't call my old man away." ”

Mo Zheng and the others nodded in unison and said, "That is the essence blood wine of the Great Majesty who has achieved the great cause of the Human Emperor!" Once in a lifetime! ”

A few old men talked and laughed, and then they arrived at the palace.

The guards all recognized these old men and hurriedly opened the palace gate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the back garden."

Cai Yang walked over, took the old men to look at the back garden, and said with a smile: "Old men, be careful, the prince and the princess are here!" ”

"Huh!?"

Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and others were dumbfounded.

Those little devils are also there? How?

The old men involuntarily wiped the white whiskers under their chins.

After a while, Cai Yang sent several old people into the imperial garden and left.

The old people were quite apprehensive on their faces, and hesitated outside the door for a moment, and finally, Cai Yong cautiously put his head into the door, took a closer look, took a deep breath, and was about to step in.

Suddenly, "Ah, grandpa! ”

A crisp childish voice frightened Cai Yong and the other old Qi Qi to stumble.

I saw a girl who looked almost ten years old, with a boy who was almost seven or eight years old and five children who seemed to be two or three years old, jumping out.

Are these seven children Liu Yuan's precious children?

The eldest girl is the eldest princess Liu Qiu. He is only four years old this year, but he may have inherited Liu Yuan's bloodline, and the four-year-old Liu Qiu has not only grown to the appearance of an ordinary child in his teens, but also has a smart and eccentric surname.

The seven or eight-year-old child is Liu Yuan's first son, Liu Ze, who is only three years old this year.

The rest are also one or two years old.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Zheng, Grandpa Pang"

A few children first saluted respectfully, and then suddenly they rushed up, one by one, and climbed on top of several old people, pulling their beards and pulling their hair, which made these old people happy and distressed.

"Father, Kang Chenggong, Pang Degong, you are all here?"

At this time, a mature beauty with the temperament of knowing her surname walked out, scolding a few children, and invited the old people in.

"Father-in-law, Kang Chenggong, Pang Degong, Mr. Sima, Mo Lao, you are all here, please take a seat!"

Liu Yuan, who is already thirty-two years old, is full of strong power all over his body, and his every move is terrifying. But the old men on the spot were all great virtues in the world, and Liu Yuan had great respect for them, so he ignored this might.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, Feibai Lao'er was still talking about your wine just now!"

Zheng Xuan laughed evilly.

Cai Yong's old face turned red, jumped up, and shouted: "It's obvious that you old thing is coveting yourself Hehe, Zihong, look"

Cai Yong laughed dryly, and stared at Liu Yuan in unison with the old men present, full of longing.

"Ugh"

Liu Yuan was speechless and stammered.

It's really getting older and younger. This group of old men is getting more and more interesting, and they are getting younger and younger.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I'll take you to get it, Daddy has hidden a lot, it's all in the warehouse!" Liu Qiu's little girl winked at Liu Yuan while offering treasure to Cai Yong.
