As soon as Lian Po and Li Mu spoke out, there was no suspense in this debate. So the next step was Li Xiang's enthronement ceremony, the first queen of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, was born!

Queen, this is an unprecedented thing, as soon as the news came out, not only the Zhao Kingdom was in an uproar, but the other six countries also couldn't believe it. But this is the internal affairs of Zhao State, even if they have any opinions, it is useless, they can only discuss and discuss.

However, the other six countries can't help it, and it doesn't mean that Zhou Tianzi's representatives can't help it. This nerd didn't know where he got the guts, so he actually ordered Li Xiang to abdicate immediately, and Zhao chose another king, otherwise the Zhou court would never recognize Li Xiang's identity.

Although Zhou Tianzi is still the co-owner of the world, in fact, no one takes them seriously. Zhou Tianzi's representative was messing around in the court of Zhao State, and it had no practical effect except to embarrass Li Xiang a little. But Li Xiang is not a person who is beaten and does not fight back, the subordinates of Tian Dan, the envoy of Qi State, suddenly died more than a dozen horses, which almost made travel a problem.

Tian Dan was obviously plotted by someone, but after he suffered a loss, he kept silent, as if nothing had happened. And Zhou Tianzi's representative also quieted down and stopped jumping up and down. At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Zhou Tianzi's representative performed so hard was because Arida Dan was directing him from behind. Needless to say, the person who killed Tian Dan's horse must be Li Xiang's person. Being able to find out so quickly that Tian Dan was behind Zhou Tianzi's representative shows that Li Xiang has secured the throne, and he has a powerful manpower under him, which is more than enough to control Zhao State.

Now that it was found out that Li Xiang had completed control over the Zhao State, the other six countries had also extinguished their thoughts of making trouble. Stealing chickens in the province is not a loss of rice, and everyone will come to Japan for a long time. So when the envoys of various countries gathered in Handan. The whole Handan has entered a festive atmosphere, and there are wine banquets every day. Singing every night.

Of course, in the song and dance. Countries are also inevitably intrigued, reaching agreements or conspiracies in unknown places.

Finally sending these people away, Li Xiang immediately began his reform plan. This was a killer plan he had planned a long time ago, and it was also a killer weapon to persuade Lian Po and Li Mu.

The government affairs system during the Warring States period was full of loopholes in Li Xiang's eyes, and it must be reformed. Otherwise, even if the Zhao State is maintained for a hundred years, it will still be a backward country, and it will not develop at all.

And what to change. Li Xiang also has a template that can be referenced. However, after thinking about it, he believes that a system that is too advanced may not necessarily have good results, and it is better to choose a relatively more suitable one. In addition to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, there was also a Ministry of Commerce specifically responsible for the development of commerce, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs dedicated to receiving envoys from various countries, and a department of the Tiandao Academy responsible for researching various high-tech.

Such a great reform intensity naturally aroused the criticism of some old ministers again. But Li Xiangli disagreed. It was carried out strongly. Ministers can not understand, but they must be implemented. If there is someone who refuses to do it, then I have to ask you to give up your place and let someone who can do it sit down.

Under Li Xiang's strength. The ministers had no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it. However, after implementing the new system for a while, they found that the new system was much clearer than the old system, and the responsibilities of each person were clear. Efficiency has also improved. After the initial discomfort, the new court gradually got better. The efficient and flexible operation has made many people begin to admire the new queen.

But in Li Xiang's opinion. No matter what the system is, in fact, the most important thing is people. He is now extremely short of talents, and the military can say that with Lian Po, Li Mu, and Xiang Shaolong, the army does not have to worry about it at all. But in terms of government affairs, there are not many people who can help Li Xiang. As a last resort, Li Xiang brought the current head of the Wu family, the eldest young master of the Wu family, to be the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and Guo Zong, who was as famous as the Wu family, was brought in to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Even Guo Kai, a treacherous villain, knew that this guy was unreliable, but now that no one was available, he could only push him to the position of prime minister.

Even the prime minister coped with it like this, and it is conceivable that people in other positions are almost all chasing ducks to the shelves. But I have to say that although Guo Kai is a real villain, he is a talented villain. He thought that he was Zhao Mu's person, and even if he was not liquidated, he would be swept to the end. didn't expect Li Xiang to promote him to the position of prime minister, which made him feel the death of a confidant, and he worked hard in the position of prime minister, and he actually did a good job.

This made Li Xiangdu feel very surprised, and felt that if Guo Kai could always maintain such a state, it would be okay to use him as prime minister. It's a pity that a villain is a villain, and it's okay in other aspects, but once it comes to employing people, Guo Kai is completely exposed, and the people used are not based on talent, but on whether to be close to him Guo Kai and whether to give him a bribe as the standard. As a result, the miasma of smoke in the court naturally became smoky, and Li Xiang was choked enough. If it weren't for the fact that Guo Kai was loyal to him, Li Xiang would have the heart to kill him. But even so, Guo Kai was kicked off the position of prime minister and asked him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In this era when there was no imperial examination, the functions of the Ministry of Rites were very limited, mainly in charge of various sacrificial matters. Although in the Warring States Period, sacrifice was a very important event, but after all, it was a Qingshui Yamen, and when Guo Kai arrived here, there were many fewer ways to make money, and he was finally more honest.

However, with Guo Kai's transition, Li Xiang's talents can finally turn around. He sent Xiang Shaolong as an envoy to Wei and invited Zou Yan and Ji Yanran over, and it happened that Han Fei was also in Wei, so Xiang Shaolong invited him by the way.

Of course, Li Xiang has to reuse these three talents. Zou Yan was directly hired as the prime minister, Han Fei was appointed as the secretary of the criminal department, although Ji Yanran was a woman, but even the king of Zhao Guo was a woman, and it would not be a big deal to use a woman as an official, and he was hired by Li Xiang as the secretary of the household department.

Since Ji Yanran has the name of a talented woman, it is naturally difficult for her to be a mere household. And the woman's characteristic carefulness and patience also find out and make up for all kinds of loopholes in the collection of taxes by the household department. This made many large households who are accustomed to tax evasion very dissatisfied and attacked Ji Yanran. But Ji Yanran has Li Xiang's support, and the unprovoked malicious slander can't move Ji Yanran at all, so that Ji Yanran gradually becomes a legend, the first woman to become a minister with her talent, which is more inspirational than Li Xiang.

With Ji Yanran's example, many women who think they have some talent have begun to be moved. For the first time, they learned that women could not be vassals of men, but also hold up a piece of the sky. Therefore, Zhao Ni, who lost her son, became the head of the palace, and Zhao Qian, who did not have to go to the relatives, became Li Xiang's personal secretary, and even Wu Tingfang couldn't bear it, so she went to the Ministry of Commerce and got an errand under her father, and she was busy and happy every day.

Government affairs have been straightened out, and although the total population of Zhao has not increased, the treasury revenue has increased more than ten times. With money, Li Xiang's reform of the army was also put on the agenda.

In fact, Li Xiang has been carrying out the reform of the army slowly. The first thing to do was the guards in the palace, they were infiltrated by Zhao Mu too much, and after that night, it was difficult for Li Xiang to continue to trust them. So not long after he sat on the throne, he ordered Xiang Shaolong to retrain a group of Praetorian Guards. As for the source of personnel, they are from the city guards, from the garrisons of various places, from the border armies, and even from the private armies of each family, as long as they meet the conditions, they can be selected. However, if you are selected, you will be selected, and whether you can become a forbidden army or not, you still need to pass various assessments. Not only is Xiang Shaolong's special forces assessment, but also Li Xiang's spiritual assessment, and those who can't pass will be returned.

However, as long as he passes and becomes a real forbidden army, not only is the treatment much better than that of ordinary soldiers, but Li Xiang personally teaches swordsmanship. Li Xiang's single sword defeat of Zhao Mu has now become a legend, and the new star in the army Xiang Shaolong has also been taught by him to be so powerful, and now Li Xiang is willing to personally teach the swordsmanship of the forbidden army soldiers, which is simply a supreme glory! Therefore, becoming a forbidden army has become the highest honor for all Zhao soldiers.

In addition to the forbidden army, the city guards, under the leadership of Xiang Shaolong, the city guard, also began training with new training methods. Those who are weak, too old, or disabled are all given severance pay and sent home, and the vacant posts are re-recruited.

After Li Xiang officially began to reform the military system, he first started with the city guards. There is nothing to say about the military system, the era of cold weapons has always been five people for one team, two for one team, five for one team, two teams for one rate...... Such a compilation. Li Xiang's main reforms were to set up a medical guard in each army, which would give great comfort to other soldiers. Then there is a document set up at each rate, which is responsible for conveying and explaining military orders in peacetime, and reading and writing letters to the soldiers when they are fine, but the most important task is to boost morale and teach the soldiers to be loyal and patriotic. Its functions are similar to those of an instructor.

In the previous army, due to the extremely nervous mental state of the soldiers, it was often necessary to set up strict punishment laws to suppress the soldiers who might be restless. In the army, all the soldiers can only be wooden people, and if they are not careful, they will violate military regulations and be killed on the spot. Now Li Xiang has changed all this, no longer treating the soldiers as wood, but guiding their ideas, so that they are in the melting pot of collectivism, and the individual will is completely melted into the collective will, so that the soldiers will not only not run away because they are afraid of death, but because they understand what they are doing and why they are doing it, they will have more initiative, and make the army's combat effectiveness stronger!
