"So much?" Liu Mang was dumbfounded by the numbers Xu Shu said, where did he get so much grain and grass in Yangzhou, it is not the autumn harvest now, they missed the autumn harvest, and this spring ploughing did not miss it. He Liu Mang went to Jingzhou and borrowed so much grain from Jingzhou, can he eat more grain and grass?

"Lord, the third batch of grain and grass in Jingzhou was stopped after the lord disappeared, and the first two batches of grain and grass were sent to Lujiang except for the loss!" The 200,000 grains and grass in Lujiang were sent by Jingzhou.

"Where did Shouchun's 500,000 come from?" Liu Mang asked.

"The 500,000 yuan was also given by Liu Jingzhou." Xu Shu explained to Liu Mang.

"Huh? Liu Biao is so good? Liu Mang was a little dumbfounded.

"It's not that he Liu Biao is so good, but we went to take it ourselves, Nanjun, the capital of Jingzhou Nanjun, has been taken down by us." Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Took Gangneung?" Liu Mang hurriedly turned his head, there was a map on the desktop behind him, which showed part of the terrain of Jingzhou, there was the Yangtze River in front of Jiangling, and Huarong Dao was behind it. Liu Mang thought that there was no opponent of the Yangzhou Navy in the Yangtze River, and only the waterway could pass.

But this Jingzhou side is too stupid, the main water army in Jingzhou has been wiped out on the Yangtze River, and he even let go of the waterway, isn't this looking for death.

"The lord is not from the waterway! This waterway has been blocked by Jingzhou! "Those sunken ships can't be cleaned up in a day or two, so now for Yangzhou, they want to completely clean up the sunken ships. That's a lot harder.

"Is that from Huarong Dao?" Although Liu Mang has never been to Huarong Road. But even when I was in Xiangyang, I had heard people talk about the danger of Huarong Dao. It was a swamp of thousands of miles, with miasma and silt, and there were not even a whole corpse if you were not careful.

"The lord knows the Jiangling Wu family!" Xu Shu asked Liu Mang.

"Gangneung Ship King?" The head of the Wu family may not know who it is, but when it comes to the Jiangling Wu family, you know the Jiangling ship king's house, and it can be said that half of the merchant ships in Jingzhou came out of the Wu family, and the captain of the Wu family in Xiangyang is even the origin of Jingzhou warships.

"That's right, it's the Wu family of the Jiangling boat king, the Wu family is finished!"

"The Wu family is finished?" That's a huge clan of scholars. Although it is not as big as the Huang family, the Cai family, and the Kuai family, it is also a wealthy scholar family, I remember that Kuai Yue also said that the master behind the Wu family is the Huang family.

"Wiped out by our army?" There shouldn't be anyone in Jingzhou who moves him, so the only ones who can destroy the Wu family are their Yangzhou soldiers and horses.

"Nope! By our Liu Pan Gongzi! ”

"Liu Pan?" This Liu Pan is not his own person.

"Liu Pan and Huang Shot fought for power, and this Wu family became a victim!" Only then did Liu Mang understand, "This Wu family has hundreds of people, and they were wiped out by Liu Pan at once, leaving behind a Wu family woman, Miss Wu, this Miss Wu can be regarded as a character, and she actually went to the camp of our army in Shiyang alone and found Lu Xun." gave the topographic map of Huarong Dao to Lu Xun, and Lu Xun took two thousand elites to Huarong Dao and attacked Jiangling! Forced down the Gangneung defenders. took Gangneung" Xu Shu has not yet made it clear. After taking Jiangling, Jiangling Taishou wanted to recapture Jiangling and prepared to cooperate with the Jingzhou army outside. was about to succeed, Lu Xun was still young after all, so he believed too much in this Jiangling too much to guard Dong Zhi, as long as Dong Zhi opened the city gate and the Jingzhou army outside the city should be combined with the outside, Lu Xun's more than 1,000 Yangzhou troops and soldiers and horses who persuaded them to surrender would not be able to pass the Jiangling test at all, and it was very likely that they would be breached.

But he didn't expect that the Jingzhou army that came outside to relieve the siege was none other than the person who guarded Huang Zu in Changsha.

Miss Wu sent a letter to Huang Zu to tell Huang Zu that Dong Zhi is the second son Liu Pan's person, and it will be the second son Liu Pan who takes the lion's share of Jiangling, and the Huang family is now at a disadvantage in the competition with Liu Pan, if the credit for taking Jiangling is sent to Liu Pan's hands, then Huang Zhi will not be able to compete with Liu Pan in Xiangyang.

Coupled with Miss Wu's letter, the Huang family said to the Wu family that there was no guilt, which was false, after all, the Wu family was destroyed, the Huang family watched, and did not make a move, even if it was too late, the Wu family and the Huang family are also world friends.

So Huang Zu simply pretended to be stupid, Dong Zhi was dumbfounded when he opened the city gate, he shouted to welcome Wang Shi to recover Jiangling, and Huang Zu's Jingzhou soldiers and horses sold him, waiting for Dong Zhi in the end could only be taken by Lu Xun and cut down on the city wall.

Miss Wu's revenge has finally been avenged.

After going to Huarong Road once, this Huarong Road is not so mysterious, and tens of thousands of troops paved with turf at Huarong Road, and slowly pounced out a road, and the army continued to enter Jiangling, and the grain and grass in Jiangling began to be transported out.

This is why there is no shortage of grain and grass in Yangzhou now.

"Lord, don't you know, in that Jiangling, there are 800,000 stones of grain and grass, and 100,000 pieces of armor and weapons!" On the grain and grass, Lu Xun gave Changsha Huangzu 200,000, and kept 100,000 for his own use, and all the weapons and armor were melted away, and now the armor of the Jingzhou army is no longer in the eyes of the Yangzhou army, and their armor is all remade.

"What about the sweet potatoes that I sowed when I was gone?" Liu Mang remembered, he asked, the general ripening time of sweet potatoes is three months to four months, that is, ninety to one hundred and twenty days. The time should be ripe now.

"Lord, those sweet potatoes of yours." Xu Shu frowned and said.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Xu Shu frowning Liu Mang's heart, you must know that he knows that he is counting on those sweet potatoes to improve the fields, so that the people will no longer have enough to eat.

"Those sweet potatoes don't taste good!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Huh!" Liu Mang was frightened by Xu Shu, and he thought those sweet potato seeds were useless.

"Those aren't for you to eat!" The people of the Central Plains have never eaten sweet potatoes, so they will naturally be a little uncomfortable with the taste of sweet potatoes, but they will slowly adapt to it soon. "Go ahead, take out all the sweet potatoes. Each piece of sweet potato is cut into several pieces. As long as it's that big! Liu Mang gestured to the people under his hands, "Then put these chopped ones into the land according to the ratio!" “

"My lord. This should just be planted, right? This cuts off, is it still useful? "Xu Shu can't do sweet potatoes, but he knows spring ploughing, he doesn't know what this sweet potato is, what seeds and fruits, this fruit grows in the ground.

"Don't worry, do what I say! Forget it, I'll go over and supervise it myself." Liu Mang was not at ease and said to Xu Shu. Sweet potatoes are plants with strong roots, and if you cut them into pieces of about the same size and bury them in the ground, they will be seeds that will naturally produce fruit the next year.

"Ahhh Xu Shu said in surprise.

"That's nature, Yuan Zhi, you also saw the yield of that thing!"

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, he was a little strict, those things that were called sweet potatoes by the lord were able to yield two thousand catties per mu, and this number completely frightened Xu Shu. Therefore, Xu Shu has always sent heavy troops there, but he did not dare to leak the news.

"It's only two thousand pounds!" Liu Mang frowned. Looking at Liu Mang's dissatisfied appearance, Xu Shu was even more surprised, and he was very dissatisfied when he looked at the lord.

Liu Mang was indeed dissatisfied. Because according to the seeds brought back by Liu Mang, the output value should be 2,500 kilograms, that is, about 5,000 catties per mu, instead of being twice as small as it is now.

However, thinking about it, Liu Mang is also relieved, because after all, there are no chemical fertilizers and other growth hormones and pesticides to prevent insect pests, so it is understandable that the output value is a little lower.

"Plant our military field for him first, Yuan Zhi must remember to keep it secret, and then give it to the people after next year!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu. There is no need for Liu Mang to say that Xu Shu also knows the importance and nodded.

"It's been a hard time for everyone!" Liu Mang patted Xu Shu on the shoulder.

"Lord, there is one more thing, I want to inform the lord!" Xu Shu hugged his fists.

"Huh?"

"Lord, we have already opened up a relationship with Gongsun Du of Liaodong!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Already found the direction of the sea route?" Liu Mang asked with wide eyes.

'Yes, my lord! Xu Shu nodded.

"What did Gongsun Du of Liaodong say!" Liu Mang asked Xu Shu, he wanted to open up the sea route just to get the war horse from Gongsun Du of Liaodong, he had no chance before, but now that he has opened the sea route, he will naturally not let it go.

"He wants fifty gold and a war horse!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.

"Fifty gold horses? Hehe, why didn't he grab it! Liu Mang was angry, but a good piece of news was angered by this Liaodong Gongsun Dushi's big mouth. Although this fifty gold horse is already very cheap in the Central Plains, you must know that they are trading in Liaodong, and that Gongsun Du will not transport the war horse to his Yangzhou, if it is transported, they Liu Mang will naturally take it all, and this is so high and not responsible for transportation, Liu Mang will be so happy.

"This envoy of Gongsun Du came with General Gan Ning, but he couldn't discuss it with you, the lord, so he made his own opinion, and finally bought and sold a war horse for ten gold!" Fifty gold has become ten gold, Xu Shu is also hard, although the war horses in the north are not worth this price at all, and the herds of wild horses are a large number of them, but now it is a seller's market, and people don't have to sell it to you if they have goods.

"Okay, give it to him!" Liu Mang's face was very bad. Being able to solve it with money is not a bad thing.

"This Gongsun Du still wants something from the lord!"

"What's that?"

"He wants to ask the lord to wait for those sweaty horses in his hands!"

"Doesn't he have a war horse in Liaodong!"

"He wants these war horses to breed" This time the messenger sent by Gongsun Zan of Liaodong is still a person who fits horses, so it can be seen that these good horses and bad horses, and those war horses in the wolf riding in Bingzhou, make this person who knows horses immediately light up his eyes, they are definitely good horses, and they are all sweat and blood horses, so he wants these war horses to go back to breed.

"The lord must not give these war horses!" Zhuge Liang, who hadn't spoken for a long time on the side, also spoke.

War horse breeding can be big or small, if you say it to the small. That is, you can give birth to a pony, and say to the big inside that the horse breed of the war horse in the wolf rider of the state can completely reinvent the war horse of Liaodong, just like the Japanese Oriental horse.

The original Oriental horse, that is, the Japanese horse. Those ones were just over a meter. That's because the Japanese themselves are only about 1.23 meters. In Japan, one meter five hundred and four meters is called a tall man.

Later, the Japanese also saw that his horse was not good, so he found a variety of horse pairs, and finally he had the tall Oriental horse.

"Give it to him!" I thought that Liu Mang would not give it, but I didn't expect Liu Mang to be quite generous.

"My lord?"

"This war horse is not given for nothing, each of his grandsons needs to be exchanged for fifty war horses. Liu Mang said to them.

"Lord, this?"

"Kong Ming, these war horses, his grandson is not worthy of breeding. Even if he can match, he can't use it, Liaodong belongs to the bitter cold in the north, and the Arab war horses brought by Liu Mang can't adapt to it at all, they belong to the kind of horses in the tropical desert area, and they are almost the same in the south of the Yangtze River, and only the fur like Mongolian horses can survive in the north, just like you wear too much, you go to the south. If it's too hot, you can shave your hair. Take off your clothes, but if you go to the north in a big pants and a small vest, there is no other choice but to freeze you to death.

"Yes!"

"That's right. Let Gan Ning after operating the sea passage, don't forget to try to explore the open sea! Liu Mang said to Liu Ye on the side, and asked Liu Ye to give Gan Ning a map from the books he brought back.

This map is naturally a simple version, just to tell sù Ganning what is in the open sea.

If Liu Mang is not mistaken, if he takes the mouth of the Yangtze River, he Gan Ning will be able to discover Taiwan.

"Lord, Kong Ming doesn't have a clear position in my Yangzhou now!" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang that he wanted to ask for an official position for Zhuge Liang. Even Li Yan, one of Zhuge Liang's subordinates, is now the minister of the Armed Police Department, and he Zhuge Liang is still idle.

"That's fine!" Liu Mang also thought of it, he thought of Xu Shu's hard work, he couldn't arrange the task, each performed his own duties, Xu Shu would die of exhaustion sooner or later.

"Pass on my royal order, and I will set up six departments in Yangzhou!" Liu Mang said to the people under him.

"Six?" Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Mang's movements to be so big.

"Officials, households, rituals, soldiers, criminals, and workers" Liu Mang said his thoughts. Six ministries, starting from the Sui and Tang dynasties, are the general names of the ministries of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers in the central administrative organs. Its position in the Qin and Han dynasties was originally divided by Jiuqing, after the Wei and Jin dynasties, Shangshu divided Cao Zhishi, Cao gradually became a ministry, and the Sui and Tang dynasties began to determine that the six departments were part of Shangshu Province. The six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers were compared with the six officials of the "Zhou Li", and most of the positions of the nine Qings of the Qin and Han dynasties were merged.

Liu Mang took out this thing from the Sui and Tang dynasties and used it first, and Liu Mang also wanted to use this new style of officials in modern society at once, but the meal could not be eaten in one bite.

Therefore, it can only be eased with six parts.

"The Ministry of Officials is the organ that manages civil officials, and is in charge of the system of selecting the rank and rank of the people, the method of examining the dethronement of the people, the code of awarding the policy and reward, and the law of determining the final system. There are four divisions under the Ministry of Officials: the Department of Wenxuan and Qing Officials, the Department of Seal Inspection, the Department of Auditing 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, invitation, and donation. 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. Liu Mang told the responsibilities of the officials one by one.

"Where is Lu Su!" Liu Mang finished talking about the functions of the ministry and shouted.

Lu Su was stunned for a moment, he was still chewing on the role of the ministry that Liu Mang said.

"Lu Su Lu Zijing, my Yangzhou Ministry will be handed over to you, Lu Su Lu Zijing is my Yangzhou Ministry of Officials!" Liu Mang smiled and said to Lu Su, let Lu Su serve as the official Liu Mang is not without consideration, what kind of person is Lu Su, he was a general before, so in Yangzhou, the civil and military forces are still very cold to Lu Su, so Lu Su will not go to form a party, Lu Su was originally an upright character, which can be seen from the fact that when he Lu Su was the Jiangdong military division, he did not take bribes and the Lu family almost had no money to redeem him, if Lu Su was greedy, the Lu family would have become a wealthy family long ago, but because the daughter also asked the grandfather to worship grandma.

"Ahhhh Lu Su was confused by Liu Mang, "Lord, Lu Su is a new person, and he deserves this important responsibility!" Lu Su hurriedly refused, the official position of this official department is not small, and he can test the performance of school officials. Officials can be dismissed and supervised at the same time. It's quite the Organization Department and the Procuratorate. It can be said that he can be an official of this Yangzhou official. This is an important position, and the following Yangzhou civil and military officers are all coveted one by one.

"The newly-descended? Hehe, even if you are newly demoted, this lord, there is no need to use suspicious people, as long as you Lu Su has the ability, why not be the secretary of the ministry for you! "Liu Mang let Lu Su be such a high-ranking official, and there is another purpose, that is, to use Lu Su as a thousand miles away, he bought a horse with a thousand dollars, Lu Su has a bad reputation in this world. He lost several wars in his debut, so there are many people who look down on him and Lu Su.

There are talented people and Mei talents among these individuals, they think that this Lu Su can be the secretary of the ministry, why can't these talented people do it, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is a person who loves talents, so he can let the world's talents gather in Yangzhou. Lu Su is a general, and he can also appease people's hearts.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are all places that Liu Mang wants to take, and the Jingzhou Shishi clan does not need to be appeased, as long as the Kuai family and the Cai family are there, but Jiangdong Liu Mang can't break through, and now he is good to Lu Su, which is a signal to some people in Jiangdong who have the idea of surrendering. That is, as long as you surrender to me, Liu Mang will treat you well.

"So, thank you for your kindness!" Lu Su looked at the excuse and could only take it. He also knew that once he became the secretary of Yangzhou, he would not be able to go back to Jiangdong at all, but he was still very happy in his heart, didn't he Lu Su just want a stage that could show his Lu Su ability, this official department is a big stage.

"After the Ministry of Officials is the Ministry of Households, which is in charge of all the territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and financial affairs of Yangzhou. Its internal government affairs are set up according to the regional division of labor, and only one division in Yangzhou will be set up later. In addition to being in charge of the state's money and grain, each department is also in charge of some of the general affairs of other yamen, and their responsibilities are often overlapping. The three libraries of the household department of the treasury are hidden; The warehouse yamen in charge of warehousing and water affairs. Liu Mang said the responsibilities of the household department, that is, the Ministry of Commerce, there is a right to mint coins, so that many people below have reflected in their eyes, minting coins, who is not casting in the world now, Jiangdong has Jiangdong big money, Jingzhou has Jingzhou Tongbao, Luoyang has Han money, although now Han money is the mainstay, but the copper coins of the mansions are still in use.

"This household department is also the Ministry of Commerce!" Liu Mang looked at the group of civil and military forces below, "Where is Mi Zhu!" ”

"The minister is here!" Mi Zhu stood up and hugged his fist at Liu Mang. When Liu Mang said the household department, Mi Zhu knew how to point himself.

"Zifang, my Ministry of Commerce will teach you! You are my money bag in Yangzhou! If you don't have enough money, I'll ask you! ”

"Don't worry, as long as Mi Zhu reigns for one day, he will definitely make my Yangzhou wealth!"

"Haha, I want my Yangzhou to become the richest state in the world!" Mi Zhu's earning ability Liu Mang still sees it.

Mi Zhu was named by Liu Mang, but his heart was happy, he now has a knighthood, and he used to be a separate director of the Ministry of Commerce, so that everyone didn't understand what kind of official position Mi Zhu was, but now it's okay, it's finally settled, the household department is also the Ministry of Commerce, one of the six ministers of Wenchen.

Mi Zhu can not be happy! Now Mi Zhu remembers, he can't wait to meet Liu Mang as soon as possible, if he meets Liu Mang one day earlier, how can he be like this, he will not be deceived by Liu Bei so miserably, people in the past said that Mi Zhu relied on his sister's beauty to get to the top, but now no one says it, because the lord Liu Mang and his sister have nothing.

"By the way, Zifang, your sister is okay!" Liu Mang suddenly mentioned Mrs. Mi, which made Mi Zhu stunned for a moment, but then he was overjoyed, could it be that the lord had taken a fancy to his sister? Mi Zhu can't wait to send his sister to Liu Mang's bed, so that their Mi family's position can be more stable, but there has been no chance One is because Liu Mang is not in Yangzhou, and another reason is that his sister is no longer perfect, Mi Zhu is also dead, but suddenly Liu Mang mentioned it, Mi Zhu was suddenly overjoyed, is it true that the lord still looks at his sister, not the perfect body, but will serve people.

"Last time I said goodbye, my sister has been thinking about the lord!" Mi Zhu squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Mang.

Liu Mang looked at Mi Zhu's appearance and knew that Mi Zhu had misunderstood, and he thought that he had fallen in love with Mrs. Mi.

That white jade beauty is indeed very beautiful, and Liu Mang likes it very much, but Liu Mang doesn't have enough energy, and the few people in the family are going to turn him into a human being, where do they dare to provoke him.

"Zifang. If Ling Mei is not married. Then I'm the one who is in charge. But I want to kiss you Zifang! ”

"Propose?" Mi Zhu listened to Liu Mang's words, this Liu Mang did not want to marry his sister, but to propose marriage.

"Dare to ask the lord who proposed marriage!" Mi Zhu asked cautiously.

"You also know this person Zifang, that is my sworn brother, that is, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the generals under my command!" Liu Mang said to Mi Zhu.

"Zilong?" Mi Zhu didn't expect Liu Mang to propose marriage for Zhao Yun, Mi Zhu also knew Zhao Yun, at that time Zhao Yun was working under Gongsun Zhan, he Mi Zhu did things for Liu Bei, and he also recruited Zhao Yun for Liu Bei. So the two know each other.

"Yes, it's Zilong! I want to say goodbye to your Zifang for my younger brother! "Zhao Yun likes Mrs. Mi Liu Mang has long seen it, because after Liu Mang won Mrs. Mi, Zhao Yun asked someone to send him food many times, and he also asked a lot about Liu Mang's side knock here, for fear that this Mrs. Mi would be killed by Liu Mang.

Zhao Yun thought he was doing something hidden, who would have thought that Liu Mang had a lot of people around him, one of them was Jia Xu Jia Wen and this old fox, after seeing Zhao Yun twice, he sued Liu Mang, this Zhao Yun likes Mrs. Mi.

"This minister wants to go back and ask the sister!" Although Mi Zhu is very disappointed, it is not Liu Mang who likes his sister. But it's not bad to think about Zhao Yun, a henchman on the side of Liu Mang.

"As far as kuài ask, as far as kuài asks. My righteous brother is also the eldest and the youngest, so I always have to leave a few more dolls for his old Zhao family. Liu Mang knew that Zhao Yun was emotional, and he used to like Mrs. Mi and might not dare to say anything because of Liu Bei, but now in Liu Bei's claim, Mrs. Mi is dead, so naturally it doesn't matter.

"Alright, let's get down to business! The specific duties of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are: to examine and approve various laws, to review criminal cases sent to the Ministry in various localities, and to try the death penalty of "imprisonment" in conjunction with local governments. The following is divided into the Legislative Department, the Trial Department, and the Punishment Department. Liu Mang said to Zhuge Liang on the side.

"The Book of the Criminal Department?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but take a look at it, the Criminal Department naturally wants to legislate, legislation is the view of the Legalists, how does this King of Shu know that he is a member of the Legalist family?

That's right, although Zhuge Liang studied Confucianism under Sima Shuijing, he himself is a representative of Legalism.

can't stand up, Zhuge Liang tears and slashed horses, that is, because of the concept of legalism, legislation and abidence, no matter who it is, even Liu Chan is afraid that Zhuge Liang is because Zhuge Liang came according to the law, and Liu Chan is also unlucky to make mistakes.

"Bright Command!" Zhuge Liang became more and more curious about Liu Mang, he had never told anyone that he was a member of the Fa family, Zhuge Liang had never been in power, he was in the army as soon as he came out, how did His Royal Highness the King of Shu know that he was good at punishment, could it really be Bole? For Li Yan, he can also know that Zhuge Liang has been surprised, and now he still understands himself.

Liu Mang really knows Zhuge Liang, the only two biggest legalist representatives in the Three Kingdoms are Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao.

Lao Cao is a representative of the Legalists, and it can be seen from his original five-color stick, whether you are a nobleman of heaven or a common person, as long as you break the law, you will be punished.

If Kuai Liang was in Yangzhou, Liu Mang would also want to give him the Criminal Department, but now it seems that Zhuge Liang can only work hard.

As for Li Yan's Armed Police Department, it is on the edge of the Criminal Department, and he only has the right to arrest people, and interrogation is the business of the Criminal Department.

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonial affairs, schools, and imperial examinations. The use of five rites, such as Kaoji, Jia, military, guest, and fierce; Manage the affairs of Yangzhou schools, imperial examinations, and the affairs of vassals and princes. There are four divisions under the Ministry of Rites, namely: the Department of Ceremonial and Cleaning Officials, which is in charge of the ceremony, military ceremony, management of academic affairs, and imperial examinations; The priest of the ancestral sacrifice is in charge of auspicious and murderous affairs; The host and guest clearance department, in charge of the guest ceremony and the reception of foreign guests; The fine food and cleaning officials are in charge of the affairs of the feast and the sacrifice. Liu Mang merged the Recruitment Hall and the Academy's diplomacy into the Ministry of Rites.

"The candidate for the Ministry of Rites is Brother Shanmin!" Liu Mang said to the civil and military below.

"Brother Yamana?" Yangzhou Wenwu didn't know who this mountain brother was, until from the outermost position behind them, a simple young scribe hugged his fist towards Liu Mang above and said, "Pang Shanmin, please see the lord, thank you for your love!" ”

This person is also Pang Shanmin, Liu Mang, they can come out of Wuxi, and then return to Yangzhou from Jingzhou, in which the Pang family has made a lot of efforts.

What is the Ministry of Rites in charge of! He is in charge of education, diplomacy and recruitment, and he should be a great Confucian in this position. In this way, it is possible to teach as a great Confucian. You can preside over interests as a great Confucian. Because of the livelihood of Confucianism, he can naturally recruit talents all over the world, let Pang Shanmin come, in addition to Liu Mang wanting to return the favor of Pang Shanmin's father Pang Degong, there is another reason is not to underestimate this Pang Shanmin, his weight in the minds of scholars is still very heavy, although his understanding of Confucianism is not as low as his father Pang Degong, this person is still a gentleman. The most important thing is that with the son of the Pang family here, many students from Lumen Academy will come. Liu Mang was naturally happy.

"This last part is the military department in charge of the state's military guards, the selection of military attachés, and the concise government order. In charge of internal and external military officials, the rules of the casting, the system of transportation, postal transmission, screening and concise methods, the number of non-commissioned personnel and military facts. There are four divisions under the Ministry of War: the Department of Military Selection and Clearance, which assesses the grade of military officials, the selection and replacement, promotion, inheritance, and gifts, and manages the Tusi; The car driver is in charge of the national horse administration and post transmission; The Department of Officials is in charge of the military officials' meritorious service, verification, pension, military briefing, inspection, patrol and other matters, and manages the ban and sea ban; The Arsenal Clearance Division is in charge of the nation's military registration, armament and martial arts examinations. Furthermore. set up an audit hall to inspect military officials; Huitongkan. Manage the affairs of the Jingshi Post Station; Good news office, palm delivery paperwork. ”

"This military department is still the book, just teach it to Wenhe!" Liu Mang still thought about Jia Xu, who was still in Wuxi, and left him a position as the secretary of the military department.

"There is a cabinet above the six ministries!" Liu Mang said to the people below.

"There are eleven people in the cabinet, and the six books can be entered, and the remaining five people, the marshal in the army can enter, or the cabinet bachelor, can participate in the discussion of affairs, and this king is also one of them!" Liu Mang is the owner of Yangzhou, so he naturally needs to enter.

"Xu Shu is the cabinet minister and supports all the affairs in the cabinet! If I am not in command of the whole army of Yangzhou! Liu Mang said to his subordinates, Xu Shu is the boss of the six departments, when do you first discuss with Xu Shu, the minister of the six departments, and there are many people who agree, then you will pass guò, if there are few people who agree, then you will discuss it again, or give up, only when both sides are five people in favor and five people are against, and then find Liu Mang, the master, Liu Mang to decide whether to carry it out. Of course, Liu Mang also has the right to veto or approve of it.

In addition to the Shangshu of the six ministries, the rest of the cabinet is Xu Shu, Chen Gong of Lujiang, and Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Lu Bulu Fengxian. “

Liu Mang's layers of orders were sent to the entire Yangzhou, and all the officials in Yangzhou were mobilized, which part they belonged to, whether they should retire or be promoted, these don't have to worry about Liu Mang, naturally there is Xu Shu's inner appearance.

The reason why Liu Mang did not directly call the cabinet prime minister was because he was just a prince, and it was not that the Han Emperor was not qualified to be the prime minister, but it was enough for this small court in Yangzhou to run.

After the six parts, Yangzhou's decrees were issued one by one very smoothly, and everyone performed their duties, unlike the original time, I can also manage what you manage, and finally shirk each other's responsibilities.

"The sixth department of the lord has changed the weather in Yangzhou!" Xu Shu said admirably to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang could only smile, this six parts were not thought up by him, but by those capable people and strangers later, just like the Jiupin Zhongzheng system and the three princes and nine kings.

The affairs of the six departments are just more clearly divided.

Liu Mang didn't have the strength to explain to Xu Shu, he was so tired, there were hundreds of rounds of fighting last night, the enemy had four generals, all of them were generals, even if Liu Mang was the fierce general of the world, he couldn't bear it, these days, Liu Mang almost saw the four girls and hid, but he just couldn't dodge, these four would always be entangled at night, and finally Liu Mang took a break, and that was one of them to menstruate, but that night there was still to fight three people.

In this big war, there is still such a stunner as Zou in the mansion, throwing it at Liu Mang every day, flattering, who can stand it.

"Then Gongsun Du's war horse has been sent!" Gongsun Du's envoy selected a hundred war horses from the wolf riders in Bingzhou, both male and female, and brought them back, no matter how much he couldn't afford to bring them, an Arab war horse had to be exchanged for fifty ordinary horses, who could stand it.

"Sent back! This time, in addition to the 5,000 war horses, there were also 5,000 war horses bought by our army, a total of 10,000, and more than 300 died on the way, and now there are 9,700 left! Xu Shu reported.

"Okay, assign all those war horses to the army, and let the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the Xiliang iron cavalry pick it first. Let them do their best to achieve one person and two horses! Liu Mang said to Xu Shu on the side.

"Aren't these war horses used to expand the army?" Xu Shu asked suspiciously at Liu Mang. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry both have war horses. In the past, the cavalry troops could not be expanded without war horses, but now there are so many war horses that the army cannot be expanded.

"Expansion?" Liu Mang shook his head, "It's not easy to talk about" The cavalry troops are not foot combat, if they are foot, as long as they put on armor and have a sword, the cavalry troops have to train horsemanship.

"Don't we have stirrups and saddles!" With stirrups and saddles, it can be said that training is much simpler.

"Forget it, these war horses are not the Arab war horses I brought back, they can't compare to their staying power or explosive power!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu, if the army is expanded. It is possible to form a new heavy armored cavalry, but Liu Mang doesn't want to be so reckless, those armor weapons used by soldiers, which one doesn't use money, and the elite is the most important, let the Bingzhou wolf ride and Xiliang Tie ride one person and two horses is to improve their combat effectiveness, usually riding those war horses bought from Liaodong, once the battle is about to charge, immediately change horses, so as to maintain horsepower and maximize combat effectiveness.

"By the way, transfer five hundred from it! No! A thousand war horses were transferred to Pang Shanmin! Liu Mang said to Xu Shu.

"To Pang Shangshu?"

"Yes!"

"He doesn't need so many horses there. If you transport things and send pack horses, you can do it! ”

"Nope! These horses were sent to the academy. Liu Mang said to Xu Shu, "Gentleman's Six Arts, Yuan Zhi." You'll have a few! ”

"Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics. Lord, you're testing me! ”

"In the academy, you can only learn the number of books of etiquette! Mounted archery is something you can't learn. ”

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"What's the use of a bunch of scholars who can only do it! I'm going to let them learn how to ride and shoot. Liu Mang said to Xu Shu on the side. Yangzhou College is about to be established, and everyone who comes out of the academy must learn to ride and shoot, unless he is physically disabled, otherwise he will not want to graduate. "Liu Mang wants to make the literati able to be strong, don't patronize the reading of the body and the city of the powerless people, before the Wei and Jin dynasties, scholars would ride and shoot, but after the Wei and Jin dynasties! The scholar will only use one mouth, which is why Xiucai met the soldier.

Practicing riding and archery is not only a way to strengthen your body, but also to maintain a sense of vitality and wildness.

"Boom!" Just when Liu Mang and Xu Shu were still discussing, a loud bang sounded outside Shouchun City, and that voice could be heard for dozens of miles.

"What's going on? Did it thunder? Xu Shu asked suspiciously, he looked at the weather, there was no gloom, there were no clouds, there would be no rain, why did the thunder suddenly sound?

"It's not thunder!" Liu Mang shook his head, he looked at the direction of the explosion sound, the south of Shouchun City.

Liu Mang's eyes lit up: "Pig Industrial Zone? Liu Mang then remembered that his Yangzhou Industrial Park was not in the south of Shouchun City, and he was a little familiar with the sound of the explosion.

"Quick, send someone to Shouchun Industrial Zone to see what's going on!" Liu Mang said to the people under him.

"Yes!" A few of the guards quickly nodded and were about to leave.

"Forget it!" Liu Mang stopped them, "Prepare a horse for me, I'll go to the Shouchun Ministry of Industry in person!" The current industrial park and Liu Mang, who belongs to the Ministry of Industry, opened his mouth to call the Ministry of Industry.

Soon Liu Mang's war horse was ready, and he was originally going to prepare a carriage for Liu Mang, but Liu Mang disliked that the carriage might delay time, so he asked for two batches of war horses. I wanted two war horses, because there was still a Xu Shu.

One person and one horse, Xu Shu also quickly got on the war horse, and the two of them followed the guards directly in the direction of Shouchun Industrial Park.

"What's going on, what's going on!" When Liu Mang arrived there, the industrial park was shattered, and there were still flames burning in many places, many people were extinguishing, and the scene was in ruins. There were bodies that were set aside.

"This, this, is this a sunset thunder?" Xu Shu stared at the qiē in front of him with wide eyes, he couldn't think of what would cause the current scene, and there was only divine power or thunder.

"It's not a thunderbolt!" Liu Mang sniffed, and from the air there was a smell that Liu Mang was very familiar with. "The smell of gunpowder?" Liu Mang's eyes lit up.

"The smell of gunpowder?" Xu Shu didn't know what the gunpowder was talking about.

"Ziyang!" Liu Mang suddenly shouted, this is the industrial park is the place of his Ministry of Industry, it stands to reason that he Liu Mang has arrived, and Liu Ye should come to greet him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Mang was a little flustered, this Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang would not make gunpowder and kill themselves.

"Lord, lord!" A black African man suddenly appeared in front of Liu Mang, startling Liu Mang. (To be continued......)
