At the subsequent meeting, Liu Bei announced a series of detailed rules to the imperial court.

For example, the number of soldiers in a county is determined according to the population of the county itself, and is determined according to the actual situation of each county, and there is no uniform number standard.

For example, each county has a county lieutenant, who is responsible for commanding the county army.

For example, the county lieutenant is appointed by the imperial court, as a law enforcement official, the appointment and selection of the county soldiers are jointly presided over by the county state minister, the county state captain and the imperial court envoy, and then the county soldiers' list, place of origin, family information, etc. need to be summarized in Luoyang, and the county soldiers also need to take turns to Luoyang for training.

The status of the county soldiers was not limited to the local area because they were local, but were civil servants of the Han Empire.

They must have knowledge of the law, and their power is the power to enforce the law, which is very different from the fighting army, so they should not be called soldiers within the court, but "lawyers".

A series of unimaginable and unexpected regulations are all in the performance listed by Liu Bei, which makes many people understand that Liu Bei is very well prepared.

There are not many people who can raise any objections to this matter, and the final focus is on the fact that it will take a long time to deal with this matter, not overnight, and it will take a lot of energy and expenditure.

How should this money be spent?

The expenses of the imperial court are getting bigger and bigger, and now they can only be supported because of a large number of inputs, but in the long run, is it okay? What to do, does Liu Bei have an idea?

Liu Bei said that of course he had ideas, and then said that he would set up a new government department in Luoyang, and give this task to the department to slowly promote and finally play the role of a general manager and general responsibility, and the final command of the national soldiers in the counties and counties of the country would be owned by the imperial court. qδ

As for the cost······

If the establishment of the law and law reduces the number of illegal and criminal matters, the cost of maintaining stability that the court itself needs to pay will also be reduced.

Everyone's vision should be long-term, not just staring at one thing, but looking at more and more long-term things. Liu Bei's meaning was already very clear, and the officials basically understood.

Good guy, there are no officials in the court to promote you, and there is no power for you to control, so you have to create your own power to control?

You're really good at it.

Huang Wan wanted to satirize Liu Bei a little, but this matter itself he felt that it was good for the imperial court and not harmful, it could take back the local security authority, exert influence on the local area, and enhance the power of the Luoyang court, in this regard, Huang Wan did not want to object.

At the end of the day, he is also the central ***.

As for Liu Bei's own wishes and thoughts······ It's hard for him to say.

Regarding this matter, the final result was of course passed, and after it was passed, Liu Bei was also given the power to be responsible for this department and the implementation of this reform.

Liu Bei demanded the establishment of a new independent department within the imperial court, and the addition of a new official position in charge of this matter, so that this official would be fully responsible for the restoration of the county soldiers in the counties and states throughout the country.

After the end of this court meeting, some officials who did not belong to the ancient literature school chatted after the dispersal of the dynasty, and when they talked about this matter, they all felt that Liu Bei's power and prestige were getting higher and higher, and they were getting heavier and heavier, and there was a faint situation of suppressing the remaining three auxiliary ministers and monopolizing the government.

The remaining three auxiliary ministers have hardly raised any objections to the series of policy changes proposed by Liu Bei, and the pattern of the four auxiliary ministers has obviously become a situation in which Liu Bei is super strong.

Liu Bei is the real auxiliary minister, and the real ruler of the Han Empire at this stage. But it feels like it's really different.

"I also have to say that it is impossible for the other three to compete with the general in the court, although the general is powerful, but he is really doing things, whether he is selfish or not, you have to say that what he does is beneficial to the Han.

Compared with other people's more obvious ways of excluding cronyism, the general can at least make everyone feel that he is really doing things, and he is just showing his power when doing things, which is beyond the reach of many people.

」

A neutralist official sighed as he walked: "In the past, there were many powerful people, but when they were in power, the appearance of cronyism fighting for power and profit was really disgusting, and it gave people a completely different feeling from the feeling given to everyone when the general was in power now, I don't know if you also feel this way."

The group looked at each other, then nodded in agreement. Another official put it more accurately.

"He didn't use his cronies to seize power and benefit himself after he took power, but he was really doing things, and what he did, although there must be selfishness in it, at least he had a righteous and bright excuse, and it really brought about change, which is difficult for people to oppose."

Huang Wan watched from the side, remained silent, returned home, and sighed at his brother-in-law Laimin.

"At the beginning, Liu Xuande's reputation was not very good in my opinion, except for those in the ancient literature school, there were many people in Luoyang City who were not used to him, everyone was wary of him, thinking that he might do something arrogant at any time, but now, I found that the situation is different."

"What's the difference?"

Lai Min, who was reading an ancient book, asked Huang Wan curiously. Huang Wan sighed.

"Many people have begun to have a different view of Liu Xuande, they often think that although Liu Xuande holds power, he does not abuse power, he is very restrained in what he does, and he often has a fair and bright reason to do things, and he is not afraid of arguing in court, so many people think that he acts above board and does not bully."

"Isn't that great? A general who does not abuse power, this is better than many generals who have abused power before.

Lai Min said with a smile: "Now the situation in the world is stable, there is no big chaos, Liu Xuande can calm the world, it is better than worrying before, you were always worried about the chaos in the world, worried that there would be people with strange minds to raise troops to disturb the world, now such people have been killed by Liu Xuande, there is no chaos in the world, I can also study with confidence."

"That's right.

Huang Wan said in a low voice: "But I am a former official of the Yang family, the entire Yang family is still under investigation in Luoyang, and I have spared no effort to crack down on the modern literary school, and I don't know if it will punish the people who were related to the modern literary school before, how can you let me feel at ease?"

Also, don't be too happy too early, don't look at you living a stable life now, you are my brother-in-law, if I am questioned, do you think you can hide? As the ancient school of literature is doing now, you just wait to study in prison! Don't worry!"

Laimin's face froze, and then he smiled.

"Didn't you say that the Yang family and Liu Xuande had a secret agreement before? It's definitely okay, don't worry, Liu Xuande has always had a reputation for making promises, and now he is a general, so he naturally regards promises as more important than his life, and he will never break his promise."

When Huang Wan heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"That's right, Liu Xuande has always valued promises, and now he is a general, so he should pay more attention to his reputation and will not break his promise······ But you kid keep your mouth shut, don't go around arguing about some things, don't say anything that you can't let outsiders know, be careful of getting into trouble, understand?"

"I know, I don't know, I'm going to pretend I don't know." Lai Min smiled and waved his hand.

Huang Wan shook his head, sighed, and cast his eyes out the window.

It's been more than a month, why is there still no news from the Yang family? Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, what will you do with the Yang family?

One is not good, I'm really going to run away.

In fact, what Huang Wan was worried about about was not that the Yang family was completely out of news, but that Liu Bei was deliberately suppressing the heat of the Yang family, so as to prevent the ancient literature school, which was at the peak of the liquidation of the modern literary school, from becoming interested in the Yang family.

More than a month ago, at the peak of the Great Purge of the Modern Literary School, the entire Yang family was ordered by the imperial court to be brought to Luoyang for trial, and the family was subjected to an investigation similar to that of the Imperial Court, in order to confirm whether the Yang family had anything to do with the assassination of Liu Bei led by the Modern Literary School.

The stakes were so high that the whole Yang clan did not make any resistance when the imperial army arrived, and Yang Biao took the whole clan to accept the imperial court

was taken to a prison controlled by the lieutenant of the Si Li in Luoyang City to be guarded and investigated, and every member of the clan faced strict questioning.

After this questioning lasted for ten days, Guo Hong, the commander of Sili, who had found nothing, conveyed the news to Liu Bei.

The whole Yang clan was cautious and as deferent as quails during this time, and there was really no evidence that they had anything to do with the assassination.

After Liu Bei got the exact news, he arranged for Guo Hong to transfer the entire Yang clan to the old site of the Ministry of General Affairs, arranged for Guo Hong's officials and apprentices to protect him, and provided them with the necessary materials they needed for their lives.

But Liu Bei himself did not go to see Yang Biao immediately.

He waited until mid-to-late November before arriving at the former site of the Ministry of General Affairs with a few personal guards, where he met the entire Yang clan and Yang Biao, who was dressed in plain clothes.
