Although Liuqiu and Dengzhou are both under the jurisdiction of Li Su, there is an obvious difference, that is, Liuqiu is not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, to be exact, this should be Li Su's private territory, and it completely belongs to Li Su. It can be said that he can do whatever he wants, and no one can control him, so that Li Su will no longer have to be tied up like Dengzhou, and can only carry out reforms within the Tang system.

After Wang An came back, the first thing Li Su did was to determine the official name of Liuqiu Island, although the name Liuqiu is good, and there are many people who agree with it, but there is an ambiguity, that is, there is an island chain north of Liuqiu Island, that is, the Ryukyu Islands in later generations, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, it is also called Liuqiu, that is, in the eyes of most Han people, the Taiwan Island and the Ryukyu Islands in later generations are one place, which is obviously a cognitive mistake, so in order to distinguish these two places, Li Su decided to advance Taiwan, a name that only appeared in the Ming Dynasty, as the official name of Liuqiu Island.

The rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty have a bad taste for changing the name of the place, and a place may have no less than seven or eight names from ancient times to the present, so Li Su's move to change Liuqiu to Taiwan is also a very normal thing in the eyes of Wang An and Yanbei poets, and Li Su also came up with a legitimate reason, so no one objected, and in the future, all official documents under Li Su's rule will be unified with Taiwan instead of Liuqiu.

After the name is determined, the next step is the division of administrative regions, although the area of the whole island of Taiwan is not small, but at most it is larger than some Shangzhou areas of Datang, so in the end Taiwan is designated as a state-level administrative region. It has jurisdiction over several counties such as Taipei, Tainan, Taitung, and Penghu, although the names of these counties are the same as those of later generations. However, the area of each county is much larger, after all, the population of the island is very small, and most of it is barren land, so there is no need to divide it so finely.

After the division of administrative regions, the next step is the implementation of the law, which is not difficult at all, the law of Datang is already very good, and it can be used if you take it and revise it. The key is the appointment of officials. Like Datang, Taiwan's top administrator is still the assassin, but now there is no suitable candidate for the position of assassin, although Cui Wei has performed well, but he has no qualifications in Taiwan, if he is rashly promoted to the assassin history, I am afraid that Lu Qing's subordinates will not be convinced. So in the end, Li Su temporarily served as the assassin of Taiwan, and then appointed Cui Wei as the other driver, and when Li Su was not in Taiwan, he acted as the assassin.

In fact, Li Su is estimated to have very little time to come to Taiwan in the past two years, so Cui Wei's farewell is almost a stabbing history. However, as long as there is no formal appointment, it will not arouse the jealousy of others.

Taiwan's administrative office is temporarily set in Keelung City, and the Assassin's Mansion is where Li Su temporarily lives, and the Cao Gong, Sicang, and Sihu under the Assassin's History are also readily available, and the county-level administrative organs have hardly changed much. However, in the administrative apparatus of Taiwan as a whole. However, Li Su made a fundamental reform, that is, to eliminate the difference between officials and officials.

The so-called official. Those who have grades are officials, from one grade to the lowest nine grades, each grade is divided into two levels, and from the four grades, each grade is divided into two grades, that is to say, there are a total of thirty levels of officials in the Tang Dynasty, and each level is very different from the upper and lower levels, which can be described as a strict hierarchy. However, Li Su felt that such a grading system was too troublesome, so he simply removed all those positive, from, upper, and inferior, leaving only nine levels from one to nine grades.

In addition to the official officials above, if an administrative agency wants to operate, it needs another official who is not an official, that is, an official, speaking of the staff in the official government, we have to talk about the administrative system of the feudal dynasty, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, the smallest administrative unit is the county, and the county has a county order, a county cheng, a master book and a county lieutenant, adding up to four officials with grades, but if a county wants to operate, four people will definitely not work, so it is necessary to recruit, some of them are clerks, six room stewards and the like, is the so-called officials, the status is equivalent to the kind of middle and low-level civil servants in later generations, and it is these officials who mainly do things in the yamen.

It's just that officials are different from officials, officials are appointed by the imperial court, and Yulu is also issued by the imperial court. But the officials are different, the officials are recruited by the magistrates themselves, at most they can report to the officials, the central government can't control these at all, and the salaries of these officials are also issued by the magistrates, and they have nothing to do with the central court, at most the central court will acquiesce to the magistrates to withhold a part of the taxes as the salaries of these officials and some other administrative expenses.

However, in this way, it is easy to become corrupt, and a large part of the reason for the common trend of corruption in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations is because the local officials have the power to withhold taxes. In addition, officials were also politically discriminated against, for example, like merchants, their descendants could not participate in scientific examinations.

Li Su really didn't know that there was such a big difference between the ancient officials and officials at the beginning, until he was in Dengzhou to do the history of assassination, he slowly figured out the difference, at that time he wanted to reform this phenomenon, but unfortunately Dengzhou is the territory of the Tang Dynasty after all, although he is the prince, but there is still no way to change the political system of such a large country, so he had to give up, until now there is such a place as Taiwan that belongs completely to himself, he can finally let go of his hands and feet.

First of all, Li Su took back all the rights of officials and officials to distribute them, and distributed them uniformly by the Qi Palace, and the recruitment of officials was also uniformly recruited by the Qi Palace, and at the same time, some discriminatory policies against officials were also eliminated. In addition, the most important thing is that Li Su also changed the selection method of officials on the grounds that there are few scholars in Taiwan, no longer learning the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty, but directly selecting officials from among officials, opening up the promotion channels between officials and officials.

In fact, the Tang Dynasty also has the practice of being promoted from officials to officials, and there is also a special name, called flowing outside into the inside, flowing outside is referring to officials, and flowing inside is referring to officials, in fact, it is from outside the system to enter the system, but this situation is relatively rare, and the people who are promoted from officials to officials are also greatly restricted, such as some official positions can not be held, can not enter the three products, etc., it can be said that they are quite discriminated against. But now it's good, Li Su directly took the promotion of officials as a major selection mechanism, although this made Cui Wei and other traditional officials a little dissatisfied, but because Datang also had a precedent, he did not insist on opposing it.

The advantage of selecting officials from among the officials is that most of the officials who are promoted have grassroots work experience and are familiar with their own work, and they will not be like those who are dead studyers, who do not know how to administer after becoming officials, and have to ask the officials around them for advice. Of course, this also has some disadvantages, such as the possibility of causing officials to have different levels of education, and it is also easy to form parties for personal gain.

For this situation, Li Su also made corresponding preparations, that is, to set up a brand new institution in Taiwan, which is the Taiwan Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the president is the Chen Gong recommended by Yang Xuan. In fact, the new is not new, the function of this metropolitan procuratorate is actually similar to the imperial history platform of the Tang Dynasty, it is used to supervise and examine officials, but its function is more single, only the right to investigate and collect evidence, if you want to arrest people, it must be approved by the assassin, and then implemented by a special agency, and this involves another new department, that is, the police department.

As mentioned earlier, the officials in the administrative body are also appointed by the Qi Palace, and are no longer recruited by the magistrates, but in addition to the officials, there is also a special class of officials. Although the officials have no rank, they are also official officials, while the officials are different, almost belonging to the category of untouchables, and the status of slaves and maids is about the same. It's just that their responsibilities are not at all small, and they are responsible for the complicated work of law and order, tax collection, grain collection, etc.

For this special class, Li Su made even greater changes, directly separated the biggest job function of the government officials, that is, the public security function, and set up a police headquarters in Keelung, with branches in each county, to manage all the police on the island in a unified manner, these police officers are responsible for the function of law and order, although the president of the branch is nominally a subordinate of the county order, but he has independent law enforcement power, and even if he receives an arrest warrant signed by the assassin, he can directly take down anyone under his rule on the spot, including the county commander himself. Among them, the highest officer of the police general court is called the chief officer, who is at the same level as the president of the metropolitan procuratorate, and is only under other drivers, and is now temporarily served by Zhu Meng, who was recommended by Yang Yong.

In fact, in the final analysis, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Police Yuan established by Li Su are to separate the administrative power from the judicial power, and form a complete judicial body with the Fa Cao among the six Caos in one state, and the reason why Chen Gong and Zhu Meng are the top officials of the two courts is also to form a containment with Cui Wei and Lu Qing, the original team. Originally, Li Su still wanted to set up a court, but after thinking about it, Taiwan is only a state, and there is already a law Cao, and if another court is established, the rights will overlap somewhat, so it is only to strengthen the functions of some law Cao, and when the territory is expanded in the future, it will not be too late to set up a higher-level judicial body.

The separation of judicial power and administrative power has led to a large or small change in the rights of the original government agencies, and the rights of many departments have been reduced a lot, if it is placed in the mature system of political institutions in the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely encounter endless resistance, and Taiwan is originally poor and white, and even under the governance of Lu Qing, many institutions have not been established at all, so those changes above Li Yu did not encounter much resistance, and only Cui Wei and those exiled officials raised some objections, But all of them were suppressed by Li Su.

After the administrative and judicial affairs are completed, the next step is the military reform, which is a top priority, for which Li Su also specially called Lu Qing, Hu Li and Zhou Long together, and after discussing for several days, finally there was a general result.
