Since the new political system of Yangcheng County has been built, Xiao Jiu can basically live a comfortable life as a shopkeeper.

Nowadays, the redundant government affairs are basically managed by a set of financial and taxation teams built by Zhou Jin, and the newly established police station is handed over to the shrimp crawlers who took refuge on the wild wolf mountain.

Maybe many people have forgotten this name, but since Xiao Jiu started his family, all the big and small wars have basically been involved.

Xiao Jiu is a nostalgic person after all, and the old brothers who followed him at the beginning have basically gained a high status, and they have already fulfilled the promise that Xiao Jiu made to them at the beginning.

Only this shrimp crawler has been managing the cavalry battalion under Jinzi's hands, and now that the police station has been established, Xiao Jiu wants to use this shrimp crawler without any faction.

With the gradual expansion of Xiao Jiu's power, some factions are faintly divided into both officialdom and the army, which is unavoidable.

Let's take finance, taxation and justice as an example, the old-school administrative officials have always been held in a high position because Xiao Jiu was unavailable before, but as the students who graduated from the academy joined the officialdom one after another, a confrontation situation was formed.

This is not to say that there is an official who dares to form a party under Xiao Jiu's nose, but the conflict buried by the difference in political ideas.

Although Xiao Jiu relied more on the young Zhuang faction with new ideas, the old-school officials who had survived for thousands of years in the entire feudal dynasty still had a reason for their existence, and they could not be completely denied.

Moreover, Xiao Jiu, as the actual owner of Yangcheng County, also has the means to check and balance the officialdom after becoming the lord, and it is not advisable for one family to be dominant.

On the other hand, the same is true for the army, Jin Zi and Zhang Ben in Lingshui County belong to different military regions, and after a long time, two different power groups have naturally formed.

Zhang Ben and Jin Zi are both old men that Xiao Jiu can absolutely trust, and they may not be able to suppress it if they are others.

At this time, Xiao Jiu reorganized the political structure of Yangcheng County, and it was inevitable to choose someone who was irrelevant but had enough qualifications, and the shrimp crawler was just right.

After confirming the establishment of the police station, Xiao Jiu summoned the shrimp crawler to his mansion, ready to explain to him the work arrangements of the new official after taking office.

After the shrimp crawler got the order, he naturally happily followed the guards to Xiao Jiu's mansion.

Since becoming an officer in the army, Shrimp Crawler has also changed his name in order to adapt to his current identity, and asked a teacher in Yangcheng County to give him words and change his name to Xia Donghai.

It is said that Xia Donghai is also a big man in charge of the army alone, but when the guards who followed the order arrived at Xiao Jiu's mansion, they still looked extremely humble and cautious.

Xiao Jiu, who had eaten lunch, walked leisurely in front of Xia Donghai, who had been waiting in the backyard for a long time, Xia Donghai suddenly lowered his head for no reason and didn't dare to look at the other party, which was a kind of respect for the superior.

Xiao Jiu observed Xia Donghai's cautious appearance, and began to mumble in his heart, questioning whether he could be qualified for the position of chief police station.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Xiao Jiu teased in a brisk tone, "Shrimp crawler, I haven't seen you fat for a few days, I heard that your name is Xia Donghai now?" ”

Listening to Xiao Jiu's brisk teasing, Xia Donghai was still a little nervous, and he didn't know how to talk for a while, so he could only laugh with him.

"Donghai, you don't have to be nervous here, I, Xiao Jiu, am not an unsympathetic person, so naturally I won't treat my old brother badly."

Xia Donghai still said that he didn't dare when he heard this, but he was a lot more relaxed in his heart, and he could feel that maybe there would be a big opportunity on his head today.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiu then told the other party about his decision to make him the chief of the police station, and carefully observed his reaction.

Xia Donghai listened to Xiao Jiu's instructions, and secretly said in his heart that his opportunity had come, and he took over the position after symbolic shirk.

Xia Donghai had heard the rumors about the establishment of a police station before, but the position of the chief of the police station had not been determined, and he never expected that this good thing would fall on his head.

According to the information obtained by Xia Donghai, the power of this police chief is no less than the status of Jin Zi and Zhou Jin, and he can be said to have soared directly to the sky after Xia Donghai.

However, Xiao Jiu can directly promote himself to such a high position, and Xia Donghai can probably guess it in his heart.

Just listening to Xiao Jiu's meaning, this police station still wants to do more than just the work of the previous servants?

Since Xiao Jiu divided the police station into a separate department, he naturally asked Xia Donghai not only to take care of some trivial matters to arrest criminals.

Xiao Jiu also has some new ideas about the functions of the police station, that is, a department similar to Jinyiwei, which integrates inspectors and intelligence.

Now its territory is no longer a small Lingshui County, after a preliminary census, the number of people in Yangcheng County has exceeded more than two million.

With so many people, Xiao Jiu alone will definitely not be able to control them, and this newly established police station is the best tool.

Moreover, although there is no war in the north now, it is not a peaceful era after all, and war may sweep the entire Central Plains at any time, and it will definitely not work without a perfect intelligence department.

For example, warlords in various places have no separate channels for gathering intelligence, and if they rashly start a war without knowing how many people there are on the other side, they will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a complete intelligence network, and as far as Xiao Jiu's observation is concerned, Xia Donghai should also be able to do this job.

Xia Donghai has no faction of his own, so he is not worried that he will betray him, and he can also cultivate the other party to act as his eyes and ears, and if there is a war, he will wait for assassination and decapitation.

Since then, the political system of Yangcheng County has basically been established, and Xiao Jiu's control of the territory has also risen to a new height, at least much more efficient than the bureaucratic structure of other warlords.

sent Xia Donghai away, and just when Xiao Jiubai was bored and was about to go for a walk on the street, a letter sealed by fire paint was sent by Li Hao.

Looking at the style of the sealing fire paint, Xiao Jiu knew that it was a secret order from the army, so he immediately opened it and looked at it.

When Xiao Jiu finished reading the contents of the letter, he looked up at the sky and was stunned for a long time, which made Li Hao, who was following him, a little at a loss.

This letter came from the navy, and the person who wrote the letter was none other than Heizi, the commander of the navy appointed by Xiao Jiu.

As a separate army, the Naval Military Region has always been silent and has not had much presence, but Xiao Jiu gave Kuroko a secret mission at the beginning of the formation of the Navy.

In addition to harassing Qingzhou and acting as a guard for the Lingshui caravan at sea, Xiao Jiu also had Heizi organize some fleets to explore new shipping lanes to the east.

Although the Lingshui caravan had many seagoing ships, the largest and most powerful ocean-going ships were always in the hands of the army.

Now Kuroko's letter is because a naval team under Kuroko's command has discovered a vast island in the east and has made initial contact with the indigenous inhabitants of the island.

According to Kuroko's description, the indigenous people were unclothed, furry and drank blood, and they were completely uncivilized.

Moreover, these people are generally short in stature, live in the form of tribes, and do not form a complete system of government and their own writing.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu had basically concluded that this world was the same as the previous life he knew.

In the past, Xiao Jiu had also sent people to search for maps, but in this feudal era, there would be some discrepancies with reality, and the authenticity was not high.

But now that the island discovered by Kuroko, Xiao Jiu can basically conclude that this is the Wa Kingdom in the previous life, and those dwarfs are naturally the Wa people who will never be fully developed.

In his previous life, Xiao Jiu lived past a hundred years old and experienced many wars, but it was these Japanese people who left the most suffering to his country.

Therefore, when Xiao Jiu heard the news of the Japanese people at this moment, the anger in his heart rekindled in this new world.

"Order Kuroko to hurry to Yangcheng County to see me."

After receiving Xiao Jiu's order, Li Hao answered and was about to go down to make arrangements, but he was stopped by Xiao Jiu halfway through.

"After that, notify Zhou to come in and have a meeting."

……

On the eyebrows of the moon, the bright light shone into the study through the glass, and Xiao Jiu was sitting opposite Zhou Jin next to the faint candle flame.

Unlike Xiao Jiu's calmness, Zhou Jin frowned tightly at this time, as if he was thinking about things.

"Judging from the information we have obtained, the area of this Wa Kingdom can already be compared to Qingzhou, and our strength will not be inferior to any prince if we take him."

Listening to Xiao Jiu's words, Zhou Jin was a little hesitant, although he believed in Xiao Jiu's judgment, but after all, he had never heard of any overseas warlords before.

Xiao Jiu's meaning is very clear, that is, to form a navy and provoke troops to occupy this ownerless new continent.

However, in this way, the military resources needed will be very huge, and the period of peaceful development that has been achieved with great difficulty will easily be dragged into the quagmire of war.

Zhou Jin does not have the memory of Xiao Jiu's previous life, and his vision is not so broad, limited by the times, and he always has a natural rejection of the unknown.

Although Xiao Jiu could directly order the formation of an army to log in to the Wa State, the prestige of the newly established power structure would inevitably be greatly reduced, and the Yangcheng officials led by Zhou Jin would also have opinions in their hearts.

Seeing Xiao Jiu swearing to say what he thought, Zhou Jin knew that Xiao Jiu had already made a decision, and asking for his opinion at this time was also to give him face.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Jin decided to believe Xiao Jiu's judgment, and promised to make every effort to collect the resources needed for the army to open up, and mobilize for this ocean-going war.

Seeing Zhou Jin receiving the order, Xiao Jiu smiled slightly, and had a grand blueprint in his mind.

Although Xiao Jiu has some hatred for the Japanese people, he is also aware of the importance of the Japanese Kingdom and the huge rewards it can bring to himself.

According to Kuroko's intelligence, it seems that the Wa Kingdom in this era has not yet received the baptism of civilization, and it should not take much effort to take them down.

And with this overseas treasure land, a powerful navy can be formed with the Wa Kingdom as the center to truly cover the entire Daxia Sea Area, and those Wa people can also be used as cannon fodder for war.
