In the sixth year of Yongjia, in July, under the escort of the newly built Liaodong Naval Division, the cargo ship on which Pei Wei and Feng Xuan were riding finally returned to Lushun Port. Returning to Liaodong again, Pei Wei and Feng Xuan were extremely excited, even Pei Yinger was also full of curiosity about Liaodong at this time, and at the same time felt inexplicably excited to see Wei Shuo again.

Lushun Port can now be said to be crowded, and the scouts of the Liaodong Naval Division, who came back in advance, have brought back the news of Pei Wei and Feng Zhao's smooth return to Liaodong. At this time, a large number of residents, government soldiers, sailors, and dock workers gathered in Port Arthur, and nearly 10,000 people came to the port to welcome Pei Wei and his party who returned victoriously!

Wei Shuo stood on the dock with ups and downs, Pei Wei's trip to Jiangdong finally lived up to everyone's expectations, not only earned him the position of Dongyi Lieutenant, but also won an additional title of Liaodong Taishou. With these two official positions, Wei Shuo can justifiably expand his power in Liaodong, and if Cui Yu is driven out of Liaodong in the future, he will be able to dominate Liaodong alone, and he can be regarded as a prince of one side.

"It's back!" Just as Wei Shuo was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in his ear.

Wei Shuo took a closer look, and saw several large sea ships appear on the sea, the first one was Pei Wei and Feng Xuan's boat, followed by the Liaodong Naval Division warship. When the people on the entire shore saw the fleet coming from afar, they immediately exploded, and the people in the port excitedly watched so many sailors and warships talking about it.

As soon as the boat landed, Wei Shuo stepped forward with his subordinate Wen Wu, Pei Wei and Feng Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the ground.

Unexpectedly, he was hugged by Wei Shuo and said with a smile: "Wen Ji returned with meritorious service, Wei is overjoyed, no need to be polite!" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the lord, we have finally fulfilled our mission and completed the trust of the lord!"

"Eh, this trip to Jiangdong can go so smoothly thanks to Wen Ji and the two. Today, Wei has arranged a banquet in the city, specially for the two of them to celebrate. Saying that, Wei Shuo took Pei Wei and Feng Suan by the arms and was about to walk towards the city, but he didn't expect to see a familiar face as soon as he looked up.

"Huh? Who is this? Wei Shuo looked at Pei Ying'er in men's clothes in a daze.

"Hehe, Wei Langjun, don't come unharmed! Ying'er is polite! ”

"Shhh You are Pei Xiaoniang, you ...... Why did you come to Liaodong? After Wei Shuo recognized that the guy in front of him dressed as a man was Pei Yinger, whom he had met in Xuzhou, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Seeing that Wei Shuo recognized Pei Yinger's identity, Pei Wei had no choice but to whisper a few words in his ear to briefly introduce Pei Yinger's situation. After listening to this, Wei Shuo pondered for a moment and said: "Since Pei Xiaoniang wants to stay in Liaodong for a while, then Wei will not say anything more!" ”

"You can rest assured to live here, if you have any difficulties, just come to me, you helped me in Xuzhou at the beginning, this time it will be my favor! In Liaodong, presumably no one dares to force you to marry, in the future, Wang Dun will come in person, as long as you Pei Xiaoniang is unwilling, no one will want to force you to marry! ”

Listening to Wei Shuo's words, Pei Ying'er couldn't help but blush, lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you Wei Langjun, please take care of me in the future!" ”

Wei Shuo only cared about talking to Pei Ying'er, but he didn't notice that the eyes of the civil and military forces around him were full of playfulness, and even Pei Wei looked thoughtful.

In the middle of July of the sixth year of Yongjia, Pei Wei and Feng Zhao returned to Liaodong smoothly, and then all the high-level civil and military officials in Liaodong gathered in Xi'anping to discuss matters related to the administration of Weishuo's mansion. This matter was discussed with the relevant personnel on a small scale after Wei Shuo won the titles of Captain of Dongyi and Taishou of Liaodong.

Most people think that the opportunity for Wei Shuo to open the mansion is ripe! Although Wei Shuo's stall was very large earlier, because his official position was too small, Wei Shuo was not easy to promote his subordinates. Now that he has been appointed by King Langya as the fourth rank of the Great Minister, he has enough chips in his hands to appease his subordinates.

Besides, Cui Yu in the west is ready to move, and before the big war comes, Wei Shuo smooths out his civil and military system, and gives his subordinates a promotion to official positions, which will definitely boost the morale of his side! Whether it is a newcomer who has just joined the service, or a veteran who has long followed Wei Shuo, they are all gathered in Xi'an Pingnei. I am looking forward to the upcoming meeting.

There are two largest mountains under Wei Shuo, one of which is the Laoshan group headed by Zhu Wen, Zhangjia, and Yang Jia, these people are the first to follow Wei Shuo's homeless people and poor scholars, they control most of the financial and military power in Wei Shuo's hands, and their power is extremely huge;

However, this group has a fatal flaw, that is, it lacks sufficient foundation and potential. Although Zhu Wen also tried his best to win over many poor children as wings, it was still much worse than the rapidly rising Saga Group.

That's right, although Wei Shuo tried his best to suppress the power of the family, there was still a lot of family power under his command. In the past, this force has never been obvious, but now with the participation of a large number of children of the family such as Pei Wei, Feng Yi, Liu Zong, Liu Zan, Kong Su, Cao Hong, etc., the strength of the family group has been rapidly expanded, and the interests of the Laoshan group are faintly threatened.

Although there are signs of latecomer first-come, there is still a big gap between the Saga Group and the powerful Laoshan Group. Moreover, from Wei Shuo's point of view, he trusts the most the group of homeless people from Laoshan Mountain. Under Wei Shuo, the key positions are still held by talents from poor families or Laoshan refugees.

The opening of the government is related to the vital interests of all the people in the Wei department, and Wei Shuo discussed with everyone for several days before deciding on the final plan. In accordance with Wei Shuo's wishes, in order to prevent the formation of feudal towns in the future, the Wei Department will implement the system of separating civil and military forces in the future, and thoroughly implement the policy of not being in charge of the army and not interfering in politics.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, Wei Shuo officially announced that all government orders would be issued by the Liaodong County Guard's Office, and all military orders would be held by the Dongyi Captain's Office. Wei Shuo himself assumed the responsibilities of the Liaodong Taishou and the Dongyi Lieutenant, and under the county guard, there were two adjutants, namely Changshi and Gongcao.

The position of Changshi Wei Shuo was handed over to Pei Wei, who was highly valued by him, instead of the old qualification Zhu Wen. Long history, this position is high and powerful, with great responsibilities, and non-big talents cannot be competent. After several considerations, Wei Shuo still handed it over to Pei Wei, who was the most capable.

But Wei Shuo did not treat Zhu Wen badly, he appointed him to serve as another important position under the county guard-Gong Cao, in fact, there is not much difference between Gong Cao and Chang Shi, but nominally Chang Shi is the second person in the county guard mansion, it seems that Gong Cao is a head bigger, but in Wei Shuo's heart, these two positions are generally big.

Wei Shuo was not appointed exactly according to the official position of the Jin Dynasty, but learned the lessons of later generations. Under the two adjutants of Changshi and Gongcao, he set up seven Cao, including learning, planning, household, agriculture, commerce, industry, and taxation, and these seven Caos assisted Wei Shuo in managing the government affairs of Liaodong. The chief officials of the seven Cao are: the head of the household Cao, and the main household registration of the Xiake

The tax Cao is in charge, and the main tax is impulsive

Gongcao is in charge, and the development of the main industry is enviable

Nongcao is in charge, and the main time is agriculture and water conservancy

Shang Cao is in charge, and the main business is Western piety

Ji Cao is in charge, and the chief auditor is sealed

Learn Cao in charge, the main education, the school Huangfu Qi

In addition to these government officials, Wei Shuo himself also has several subordinate officials directly under him, namely: Ji Shi Peng Shi Miaokai (main chronicle), Song Gai (main supervision), criminal Cao Peng Shi Song Zheng (main prison, litigation), and Fa Cao Peng Shi Huangfu Dian (main legislation). After that, the Liaodong County Guard Mansion will no longer manage the government soldiers and the Xiang Army, and all military-related affairs will be handed over to the Dongyi Captain's Mansion to manage.

The Dongyi Lieutenant's Mansion consists of seven divisions and one supervisor, including the Military Division, the Infantry Division, the Cavalry Division, the Guard Division, the Navy Division, the Government Soldiers Division, the Ordnance Supervisor, and the Joint Logistics Division.

Among them, the Department of Military Affairs is responsible for analyzing the military situation and formulating military plans; The three divisions of the infantry division, the cavalry division, and the naval division are in charge of the daily training, garrison, and promotion rewards and punishments of all infantry troops, cavalry, and naval armies in the van army; The Guards Division is responsible for managing the training and deployment of guards and guards; The Department of Government Soldiers is in charge of the training and recruitment of government soldiers in various places; The Ordnance Superintendent is responsible for the manufacture and development of military weapons; The Joint Logistics Division is responsible for the procurement of all military supplies.

None of the above divisions has the right to transfer troops, and the right to transfer troops is temporarily in Wei Shuo's own hands. The chief officers of each division are: the Military Division (Lu Chang), the Infantry Army Division (Zhang Tong), the Cavalry Division (Speedu), the Guard Military Division (Zhang Erlang), the Navy Division (Liu Zong), the Fu Soldier Division (Cao Hong), the Ordnance Supervisor (Wei Shuo), and the Joint Logistics Division (Han Shou).
