Liu Tai, who took over the military and political power in the state, directly turned Ji County to take over Liu Yu's military and political power in Youzhou, and after Liu Yu left Jixian County and returned to Luoyang, he ordered Xun Yu to drive for the state, Xun Yu for Youzhou, and then Liu Tai moved his own seat to Jixian County, Jixian County belongs to Guangyang County, east of Yuyang, west of Zhuo County, north of the upper valley, south is the Bohai Sea, is a place extending in all directions, rich in products, large population, has always been the military and political center of Youzhou.
Liu Tai, who took over the military and political power of the two states, officially emerged in the late Han Dynasty, with more than 10 million people under his command, and no less than 500,000 people with armor, more than Cao Ying, Yuan Shao and others, not to mention Liu Bei, whose name is still unknown?
After everything was done, Liu Tai did not rest for a moment, and after talking with Huang Zhong, he put Gao Shun under Huang Zhong as a deputy, because Gao Shun had no prestige in the army, Liu Tai did not promote him to the secretary of the military department so quickly, but appointed him as the head of the three armies, in charge of the training of 520,000 soldiers and horses in Erzhou.
Although Liu Tai had 520,000 soldiers with armor under his command, but most of them were mixed with old and young, and many troops did not even have the least weapons and armor, and Liu Tai, who was furious, directly ordered a large-scale reorganization of the army, and all the sergeants over 40 years old and under 18 years old were eliminated from the army, and 395,000 elite soldiers were named the regular army. And those old and young who were kicked out of the army, Liu Tai did not ignore their life and death, named it the Tuntian Army, responsible for reclaiming wasteland for the government, if in wartime, the defense soldiers are insufficient, they can temporarily return to the army, and then compensate for it.
The regular army is organized as a squad of 10 people, appointing one squad leader, two deputy squad leaders, 50 people as a platoon, appointing one platoon commander, two deputy platoon commanders, 150 people as a company, appointing one company commander, two deputy company commanders, 450 people as a battalion, appointing one battalion commander, two deputy battalion commanders, 1,500 men as a regiment, appointing one regiment commander, two deputy regiment commanders, 10,000 people as a division, appointing one division commander, two deputy division commanders, 30,000 people as an army, appointing one army commander and two deputy commanders, and the 390,000-strong army is divided into thirteen armies. The remaining 5,000 people are Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei is Liu Tai's personal soldiers, and among the thirteen armies, the ten soldiers with the best performance every year can be incorporated into Jinyiwei, and each Jinyiwei is treated the same as the battalion commander.
In the military reform, in order to make the soldiers fight bravely to kill the enemy, Liu Tai promulgated many new policies to maximize the benefits for the soldiers, such as in each family, one person is a sergeant in the army, the tax is reduced by three percent, and each family gets more than ten acres of fertile land, but these ten acres of fertile land are rented by the government, although do not pay rent, but after the soldiers retire, the good land should be returned to the government, of course, if the soldiers died bravely on the battlefield, they will be unconditionally sent to the martyr's family, well, it is still not allowed to be bought and sold, and the family members are not allowed to die, and the land is still owned by the government.
The second is to distribute food and wages to the soldiers, and each person can get one stone of grain and one hundred wen per month, and there will be 1,200 catties of grain (one stone is equal to 120 catties) and 1,200 wen in a year, plus the production in the fields, which is enough for a family of three for a year.
Article 3, if a soldier dies on the battlefield, he can get a subsidy of 50 taels of silver (equivalent to 50,000 yuan), a cow, and 100 stone of grain from the official government at a time, and the name is engraved into the local hero monument (each township level must establish a hero hall, and the hero hall erects a hero monument, if the soldier is a villager, his name is engraved on the hero monument of the township to which he belongs. )
Article 4: Those who have reached the age of 18 must go to the local government to register and receive military service, and those who have completed two years can apply for retirement, and those who have retired can recover the fertile land issued to them and have a severance pay of 10 taels of silver.
Since the promulgation of the new policy, those who give birth to two heirs can get a subsidy of one stone of grain per month and fifty dollars from the government for a period of five years, and those who give birth to four children can get a subsidy of two stones of grain per month and one hundred dollars from the government for a period of six years.

In terms of education, Liu Tai imitated the nine-year compulsory education of later generations, each township-level governance office, must open a primary school, all those who have reached the age of six must enter the primary school hall after six years, enter the county-level junior high school for three years, and then students with outstanding grades will be recommended by the county government to enter the county university, each county government must set up a university that can accommodate 3,000 people, the county Taishou serves as the vice president of the school, the president is just an honor, the president of all county universities is Liu Tai, Liu Tai does not want to appear in the future Whampoa College.
Those who have passed the results of the county government university, after three years of study, can be recommended to Jixian Beijiang University by the county government Taishou as appropriate, where every student after graduating from the northern Xinjiang, decentralize the local officials, and get outstanding political achievements, the recommended county Taishou can get the government's commendation and a part of the gold and silver awards, depending on the recommended person's political achievements after serving as an official.
Displaced people policy (temporary application), where the displaced people from other states and counties want to enter the two states for a long time, after registering, the government will choose the township and county for naturalization, without the permission of the government, can not be easily relocated, otherwise they will be arrested by the imperial court, and after the displaced people move in, engaged in production, the initial food appetite, the imperial court will subsidize a year's grain, for them to tide over the difficulties, the government grain subsidy of the displaced people, can not buy and sell the subsidized grain privately, if found, the same heavy fine, the light fine money, the heavy to prison.
However, the cultivated land of the displaced people is 10 mu less than that of each household of the aborigines, that is, each family can get 40 mu of land, and they are not allowed to buy or sell it privately, and they are not allowed to rent it out (if the locals can rent it), those who abandon the land without permission will have their land taken back and all subsidies from the government will be cancelled.
The policy of helping the displaced people is only valid for ten years from the promulgation of the decree, and after ten years, the displaced people are classified as local people, and if there is no major disaster outside, and then the displaced people enter the two states, there is only money and food subsidies, and there is no land distribution (considering that the land is limited).
The new policy of criminals and people, the decree is promulgated, where the criminals below the head are killed, each county recommends three famous clan elders and the county Cheng to try at the same time, and the trial of the crime is decided by voting, the clan elders have three votes, and the government has two votes, if the government cheats for personal gain, the three clan elders can sue the higher level government, if the matter is true, the county immediately hand over the official seal, arrest and bring the case, and the higher level official will try it, if the higher level official favoritism, the same as above, continue to sue the higher level by the clan elder, until Liu Tai is sued, the clan elder will change the term every three years, The same clan elder cannot be appointed twice, and must be replaced.
After the convicts who committed capital crimes were sentenced, the government escorted them to Jixian County and handed them over to the three halls (criminal hall, law hall, and civil hall) for retrial, and if there was no mistake after the retrial, they could serve the sentence, and if the three halls had different opinions, they could be handed over to the criminal department for trial, and the criminal department attendants had different opinions and handed over to the criminal department secretary, and the criminal department secretary could not make a decision, so it was handed over to Liu Tai.
