Chapter 428: Kaifeng Mansion Planning
On the fifth day of the first month of the eighth year of Xianchun, the envoy sent by the imperial court, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites arrived in Kaifeng Mansion and announced the holy decree, since then, Wu Shaogang was called the King of Wei, and the holy decree added the important duty of the King of Wei Pingzhang, so that the King of Wei commanded all the affairs of Sichuan, Yunnan and Kaifeng Mansion, and made a decision on the spot.

This is a holy decree that has never appeared in the Song Dynasty, and it can also be called a spectacle, the holy decree is not only canonized as the king of the opposite sex, but also acquiesces to the existing forces of Wu Shaogang, Sichuan and other places, Wu Shaogang can make his own decisions, and there is no need to report to the imperial court, nor does he need the emperor's holy decree.
Yunchuan Jiedu makes this title, naturally no longer exists.
The edict to the world did not explain the power of the King of Wei to make decisions on the spot, which made Wu Shaogang understand that it must have been specially added by Jia Yidao, and he was afraid that it was a back road set up for himself.
After receiving the holy decree, Li Tingzhi and the others were naturally overjoyed.
Many official offices in the Wei Palace's palace have all been set up, including the six rooms and the imperial history platform, including the Privy Council.
The Sixth Room was in charge of all matters relating to the people's livelihood, the Imperial Observatory was responsible for supervising and impeaching officials, and the Privy Council was in charge of military matters.
The command offices of the imperial armies of Hezhou and the Dingkun army were merged into the Privy Council, with Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and Ma Huaxuan serving as deputy envoys of the Privy Council, and Wu Shaogang personally serving as the privy envoys.
The official of the imperial court, who announced the decree, stayed in Kaifeng Mansion for three days, then detoured to Chongqing and returned to Lin'an, Wu Shaogang did not stay, he knew that this official was Jia Yidao's henchman.
At the end of the first month, Wu Shaogang's family Li Hanwei and others, as well as many officials, all arrived in Kaifeng Fucheng.
Li Hanwei, who stayed in the Wei Wangfu, was very amazed by the luxury of the mansion, and the mansion where Wu Shaogang's parents lived was only about 500 steps away from the Wei Wangfu, and the mansion was also very large.
It is the rule for a person to ascend to heaven with a chicken dog, not to mention the parents of His Royal Highness King Wei.
On the first day of February, the Wei Palaces were officially established and the edict was issued.
It was also on this day that the belated reunion dinner was set up in the Wei Palace, and Wu Shaogang and his family had a belated reunion dinner, and the joyful atmosphere made Wu Shaogang feel very good.
On the fifth day of the first month of February, the good news came that the army led by Cai Siwei and Zhang Binghui occupied all the prefectures and counties of Hedongnan Road and Hedongbei Road.
Wu Shaogang's original plan was to occupy Hedongnan Road and Hedongbei Road in about three months, but Cai Siwei and Zhang Binghui only took two months, which can be described as invincible.
This is also expected, Kublai Khan and the Great Yuan court's focus has shifted to the destruction of the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally they will not pay special attention to the situation in the Central Plains, and will not send large armies to garrison these places.
Wu Shaogang immediately issued the first edict, merging Hedongnan Road and Hedongbei Road to establish Shanxi Province, Li Run served as the envoy of Shanxi Province, and the Yamen was set up in Taiyuan Fucheng.
Immediately afterwards, the second edict was also issued, and Lu Xiufu, the former deputy envoy of Sichuan and the governor of Kuizhou, served as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.
The pace of the revival of Kaifeng Fucheng is beyond Wu Shaogang's imagination.
A large number of businessmen gathered towards Kaifeng Fucheng, the streets and alleys quickly became lively, and the price of houses in Kaifeng Fucheng rose sharply, and its price exceeded that of Chengdu Fucheng in a short period of time.
A large number of famous scholars also gathered in Kaifeng Prefecture, and they signed up one after another to participate in the entrance examination renamed Kaifeng Academy, and even many scholars went directly to see Dou Mo, a university scholar, in order to show their talents.
Dou Mo who loves talents. did not refuse the request of these readers, and for a time Kaifeng School was very lively, and it became a place where readers gathered, and Dou Mo became a gentleman revered by readers.
Kaifeng school has also been adjusted, divided into two parts, one part of Taixue, equivalent to the training center for leading cadres, all students who enter Taixue to study, the school system is two years, half of the time to study, half of the time in the Wei Wangfu or Kaifeng Mansion to do things, after the end of the two-year school system, directly into the government or the state government as an official, become the main auxiliary officials of the prefect, there are also some students of Taixue, directly serve as the county order, and can enter the Taixue students, Generally, they are scholars with meritorious names and scholars from Jinshi and Juren, or officials recommended by the Yamen.
The other part is the university, which mainly bears the responsibility of teaching the scholars, and those who enter the school to study do not necessarily have merit, but as long as they pass the examination held every three years by the school, they can enter the Taixue study.
Those who enter Taixue need to take a special test, and those who enter Fuxue need to pass the exam.
In the final analysis, Kaifeng University has assumed the responsibility of sending talents and cultivating talents for various places.
During this period, Wu Shaogang personally proposed that the Kaifeng Lecture Hall was also established.
Kaifeng Lecture Hall is also a school, but all the people who enter here to study are officers or sergeants in the army.
The Kaifeng Lecture Martial Arts Scholar was personally concurrently served by Wu Shaogang, which enhanced the status of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall and also let everyone know that His Royal Highness the King of Wei attaches great importance to the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
Officers above the rank of commander in the army take turns to go to the lecture hall to teach, and those who participate in the study of the lecture hall, from the commander to the ordinary sergeants, and all those who have performed well in the army will be recommended to participate in the study in the lecture hall.
The textbooks compiled by the lecture hall are top secret and are not allowed to leak out, and everyone who participates in the study can only memorize them by mind, and those compiled textbooks are also easy to understand, after all, the officers and sergeants who enter the lecture hall to study do not have much knowledge, and there are even many people who are illiterate.
At the beginning of February, Dou Mo, a scholar of Kaifeng University, proposed that the Wei Wangfu could conduct the imperial examination in order to recruit talents from all over the world, and this suggestion was supported by the governor of the palace, Shi Li Tingzhi, and also by the deputy Shi Haojing, Liu Bingzhong, and Zhang Wenqian.
Wu Shaogang approved Dou Mo's suggestion.
What Wu Shaogang didn't expect, Dou Mo then proposed that the first Jinshi examination could be organized in May, and the location was in Kaifeng Fucheng, and all scholars who had made a name for themselves could participate in the Jinshi examination, and at the same time organize the first government examination in Kaifeng Mansion in August, and the rest of the places should also hold township or government examinations in August or September.
Needless to say, the examination of the Jinshi Department is to lift people, and the township test or the government test, after passing the examination, it is to lift people.
Hao Jing and others are also supportive, they believe that it is impossible to satisfy the thirst for talents of the palace just by relying on the Kaifeng Mansion Academy, and the matter of cultivating talents must be grasped quickly.
Wu Shaogang is still a little worried, if it is said that the establishment of Kaifeng Academy, or even the establishment of Taixue in it, it is all the meaning of playing a side ball, anyway, it did not touch the sore spot of the imperial court, it does not matter, but the examination of the Jinshi Department is a matter that the imperial court can only hold, and other places at most hold the township examination or the government examination in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court.
However, Wu Shaogang also understands that relying only on Kaifeng Academy cannot meet the plan of absorbing talents, whether it is in the local government or in the army, there is a need for fresh blood.
After several debates in the palace, Wu Shaogang approved this suggestion.
The edict of the Wei Wangfu on the holding of the Jinshi Branch and the Imperial Examination was quickly spread in Henan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces, and the edict of the Wei Wangfu could only be transmitted to these places in principle.
Since the beginning of March, the city of Kaifeng has entered an unprecedented lively scene.
Scholars from Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, Shaanxi Province and Shanxi Province rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture, and more southern scholars, I don't know how they learned the news, came to Kaifeng Prefecture, including the readers of Lin'an Mansion City, and even the readers of Lin'an Academy.
Scholars from many places in the Central Plains, including Shandong, Daimyofu and Yanjing Road, also secretly came to Kaifeng Fucheng.
The huge attraction of Kaifeng Mansion City completely exploded at this time.
With the gathering of scholars in Kaifeng Fucheng, more businessmen gathered towards Kaifeng Fucheng.
The prosperity of Kaifeng Mansion at the moment even exceeded its heyday.
This made Wu Shaogang suddenly feel that his historical plot was about to change, he originally thought that most of the capital was the best location, but now it seems that it is not necessarily, I am afraid that the people of the world are more identified with Kaifeng Fucheng.
It is not surprising that the commerce and trade of the Great Song Dynasty were very developed, but in the final analysis, it was still an agrarian society, and the birthplace of agrarian society was the Central Plains, the most developed coastal places after a thousand years, and now it is still a desolate place.
It was at this moment that Wu Shaogang gradually acquiesced to Kaifeng Fucheng as the capital of the future dynasty.
The scope of Kaifeng Prefecture began to expand, and many places outside the city also began to build houses on a large scale.
In the face of such a situation, the Wei Wangfu quickly issued an edict, the Kaifeng Mansion City was designed as two parts, the inner city was based on the original Kaifeng Mansion City, and the outer city was bounded by ten miles outside the Kaifeng Mansion City.
At the same time, the royal edict stipulated that all land included in the inner and outer city planning should be owned by the government if it was owned by the government, and if it was land owned by an individual, the income from the sale and purchase of land and houses must be taxed at the rate of 30 percent.
The term land finance began to appear in the places under Wu Shaogang's leadership, but its taxes were still very low.
Until the beginning of April, Wu Shao had just withdrawn from the complicated things, and there were some things he had to decide.
Regarding the deployment of the army, the Wei Wangfu finally issued an edict at the end of March, Yunnan Province stationed 15,000 officers and soldiers of the Jinzhou Imperial Army, Sichuan Province stationed 20,000 Xingyuan Prefecture Imperial Army Officers and Soldiers, Shaanxi Province stationed 20,000 Hezhou Imperial Army Officers and Soldiers, Shanxi Province stationed 20,000 Hezhou Imperial Army officers and soldiers, and the rest of the army was all stationed in Henan Province.
