"Feng Xiao's words are wrong, even if there is no cannon, the princes of the world will not be able to stop the lord's wolf army." Jia Xu said with a smile. Since joining Chu Xiong's camp, Chu Xiong has not been wary of him, everything he wants to touch can be touched, it is because he has more contact, he will know more, and if he understands more, he will be shocked more, not to mention that Chu Xiong's hundreds of thousands of iron horses can be invincible, it is the grenade's big killer that can restrain the princes of the world, and now he has researched a weapon that is larger than a grenade, in order to have a larger and longer range weapon, you can know that no one can compete with Chu Xiong in the future!

And Ma Jun also said honestly when he heard Guo Jia's words: "These cannons are very troublesome to build, it takes an average of a month to build one, and those cannonballs are even more troublesome to build, and there are often shells that explode and hurt people, so thousands of cannons can't be completed in decades!" ”

Guo Jia was very frustrated, so I said: "Immediately write a letter to Liu Bei and Chen Gong, and ask them to carefully select more than 10,000 craftsmen in Bingzhou and Jizhou to hand over to Ma Jun for use, and Jian Yong will allocate another five million taels of silver to the research institute to build, which must be manufactured in large quantities, and after the flood, recuperate for a year, as much as can be made!" Also, this matter is a first-class secret of the Heavenly Wolf Army, and no one is allowed to divulge it, especially the research institute, which must be strictly guarded, and they are not allowed to go home to visit relatives for ten years! Anyone who tells others privately will be punished as collaborating with the enemy! However, the craftsmen who serve in the research institute will have their salaries doubled, and their families will be taken care of by the local government. ”

"Yes!" Ma Jun nodded and said, he was very excited to see the lord value himself so much, according to the lord's support, he may leave a good name in the history of weapons!

Chu Xiong is testing the cannon here, it is already a big night, it is almost the New Year, and the people of Youdu do not go to bed so early, although they hear it, there is a sound of cannons in the distance, no one cares, after all, there are fireworks and cannons everywhere in Youdu now, for so many years, Ma Jun cannon has not developed these fireworks and firecrackers, but there is a lot of research.

At this time, in the Prime Minister's mansion, Cao Cao was reading the reports on the control of the disaster in various places, and the money earned by Cao Cao's digging of the tomb was all earned by Chu Xiong with high-priced grain, although he cursed Chu Xiong, a big fat man, who was so fat and greedy, but he still had to keep sending money to Chu Xiong's territory.

For Cao Cao's side, Chu Xiong did not order to block commerce, but increased commerce, those affected people were only temporarily under Cao Cao's rule, and when Chu Xiong laid down Cao Cao's territory, it was naturally Chu Xiong's people, so Chu Xiong naturally would not let the people starve to death, and Tian Luo, as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, also deliberately transported the grain to the Yellow River crossing, that is, to let the people under Cao Cao's rule know that Chu Xiong has grain, if you don't buy it, we will go to the other side of the river to eat grain for the people of Chu Xiong, Cao Cao can only grit his teeth and buy it in order to win the hearts of the people. And he is also urging those families to donate food, but who will donate if there is nothing beneficial!

But there was really a fool, and he donated a large amount of food to Cao Cao together with some families, which made Cao Cao sit in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his jaw was about to fall with joy. And this stupid presumptuous is naturally Wei Zi who supported Cao Cao's army.

Now that the food problem has been solved, Cao Cao doesn't have to worry about it, and he has delegated power to Xun You and others. Cao Cao's way of employing people is still very similar to Chu Xiong, but history says that Cao Cao is seriously suspicious, so no one knows whether he really uses people without doubt.

Since Cao Cao took over the establishment of Liu Yu, he has no time to rectify the imperial court, this imperial court is not like Chu Xiong is just some officials, Cao Cao inherited the Han court that really lasted for 400 years, central officials at all levels, royal relatives and nobles, queens, queen mothers and nothing to deal with. Like Empress Dowager He, of course, she was accepted by Cao Cao, Cao Cao likes to play with other people's wives the most, as for those concubines, they are too young, only ten years old, and they are all sold for money. cleaned up the harem, and finally put Liu Yu and his family into the harem.

The next day, Cao Cao went to the court, just to ask for the reorganization of the imperial court. When Cao Cao stood on the main hall and looked at the ministers with a smile, he was full of ambition.

Cao Cao proposed to reorganize Shangshutai into a cabinet and enhance Shangshu's power position, firstly, to weaken the power of Liu Han's imperial power, secondly, to win over the cabinet ministers, and thirdly, to better control Cao Cao's own power.

The reason why these ministers agreed to weaken the power of Liu Han's imperial power was that they were frightened by the two party rebellions of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han, Lu Zhi, Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Zhu Jun, and Huang Wan all suffered from the prosperity of imperial power, and their life and death did not depend on their own merits but on the mood of the emperor, for this, they were very dissatisfied, so Cao Cao's proposal to reorganize Shangshutai was successfully implemented, and Liu Yu had to make some concessions in order to obtain the support of these respected cabinet ministers, Some decision-making powers were delegated to the Cabinet.

After Cao Cao's reorganization, the cabinet now has six departments, including the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of Officials is composed of the original three public Cao, the Ministry of Officials Cao is integrated, and the system of selecting the rank of the hand, the prescription of the examination and dethronement, the canon of the award, and the law of the final system of the establishment of the book, there are four divisions: the Department of Wenxuan Qing, the Department of Inspection, the Department of Honors and the Department of Examination and Merit. The Department of Selecting Officials is in charge of examining the grade of the clerical and listing, awarding, selecting, promoting, and handling monthly selection. The sealing department is in charge of the affairs of knighthood, secular office, grace, difficulty, and sealing. The Department of Auditing and Honors is in charge of civil servants' system, lifelong maintenance, and handling the succession, naturalization, and reinstatement of officials. The Examination Department is in charge of the division and discussion of civil officials, and handles the Beijing inspection and general plans.

The household department was reorganized by the Dasi Nong Yamen, in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters, and its internal handling of government affairs was set up according to the regional division of labor.

Dasi Nong is one of the nine Qings, still exists, in the two Han Dynasty period, Dasi Nong was in charge of rent, money, grain, salt and iron, and state financial revenue and expenditure, now most of the functions and powers of Dasi Nong are transferred to the household yamen, and the functions and powers of Dasi Nong have been changed to the main charge of persuading farmers and mulberry, tuntian, water conservancy, famine relief and other things. The current Dasi Nong is an old man from a big family, and he doesn't care about anything, and the real director is Dasi Nong Cheng Han Hao.

After the reorganization into the Ministry of Industry, the functions and powers were expanded, and he was in charge of the system of civil construction, the use of utensils, and the method of dredging ditches and weirs. There are four divisions under the Ministry of Industry: the department will be the division, and the palace office will be built and repaired; Yu Heng Division, in charge of manufacturing, sending and receiving all kinds of official utensils, in charge of weights and measures and coinage; The Department of Water Affairs, in charge of estimating the cost of the project, and in charge of the production of edicts and official documents; There is also the Ordnance Department, which is responsible for ordnance building and is controlled by Cao Cao.

He will be in charge of the civil construction of palaces, temples, mausoleums, etc., although he is not one of the nine kings, he is not merged into the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Rites was reorganized by Kecao and Taichang Yamen, Kecao was in charge of protecting the affairs of the border ethnic minorities, Taichang was in charge of the etiquette and music society, the etiquette of the temple, and was also in charge of culture and education, Lingxian administration, and also governed the doctor and Taixue, and the reorganized Ministry of Rites was in charge of the national school affairs, culture and education, doctoral Taixue, and the affairs of the vassal and foreign countries. The current Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is an old family that is not well-known but is praised by scholars, and Cao Cao is ready to leave this position to the great Confucian Xun Shuang.

Taichang, as the head of the Jiuqing, still retained, responsible for the establishment of the state of heaven and earth, gods, the rites of people and ghosts, the auspicious and evil military gifts, jade silk bells and drums and other powerful cultural relics of the official, and at the same time responsible for religious affairs, no longer in charge of cultural and educational affairs.

The Criminal Department was reorganized from 2,000 Shi Cao, who was originally in charge of judicial litigation affairs, and after the reorganization, the Criminal Department was the organ in charge of the national criminal punishment decree and the examination of criminal names. The specific duties of the Criminal Department are to examine and approve various laws, review criminal cases sent to the Ministry in various localities, and to hear death sentences and cases "pending in prison" in conjunction with the three divisions, and to directly try cases of crimes above the level of conviction in the Gyeonggi region.

The military department was reorganized from the Central Metropolitan Official Cao and the Taiwei Mansion, and the Central Metropolitan Officer Cao was in charge of public security work such as water, fire, and thieves, and the Taiwei was in charge of the merits of the military attachés throughout the country and the basis for promotion, that is, as the emperor's highest military adviser, the reorganized military department was in charge of the internal and external military officials. There are four divisions under the Ministry of War: the Military Selection Division, which assesses the grade of military officials, and selects and replaces, promotions, inheritances, and gifts; The car driving department is in charge of the national horse administration and post transmission; Examination of meritorious service, the description of military officials, verification, pension, military briefing, inspection, patrol and other matters; The Arsenal Division, in charge of the country's military registration and military affairs.

Cao Cao added the prime minister and received it himself. And Cao Cao, the secretary of the military department, is naturally handed over to Xun You, his own person, and he can not interfere with those civil affairs, but the military affairs naturally have to be held in his hands.

Of course, those family figures let the officials of the family in the imperial court slander Cao Cao in front of other cabinet ministers, saying that Cao Cao is in charge of both the army and the military department, and the military power of the Luoyang court is all owned by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's power is great, and he will become ambitious if he has no ambition, and he may become Dong Zhuo's second, and for a while, that slander makes "Dong Zhuo's second" synonymous with Cao Cao.
