After the wanton behavior of several Qi marquis, the cannibalism of the public office, and the repeated use of troops by King Xiang, the entire Qi country has reached the point where it has to be reformed, especially the financial problems of the Qi country, because of the profligacy of several generations of Qi marquis, it has long become unable to make ends meet.

Qi Hou asked Guan Zhong how to reform, and Guan Zhong said: Enrich the country and strengthen the army.

How about Phu Quoc?

Zhong said: The sage governs the officials but not the people.

"There are three chaos, one is that virtue is not in his position, the second is that merit is not in his position, and the third is that he is not in his office."

Once these three situations arise, the country will be in turmoil. The unvirtuous people occupy high positions, the unmeritorious people enjoy the knighthood, and the incompetent people become officials, and the world will be in chaos.

Guan Zhong integrated the chaotic administrative system of the Qi state, dividing the country into 'three kingdoms and one disdain'. Sanqi refers to the division of the national capital into 21 townships, and then divided into three officials to administer.

'Wu Qi' is to divide the wilderness outside the national capital into five genera, set up five doctors, five chief officials in charge, and subordinate counties, townships, pawns, and yi respectively set up county marshals, township marshals, pawn marshals, and officials to manage.

At the same time, the 'Shinong Industry and Commerce' was allowed to do its own business, and the backward system of the tribe was completely cleaned up, and the clear administrative system made the management of Qi more effective and refined, and maintained social stability.

Guan Zhong has carried out comprehensive institutional reforms, and at the same time, he has also carried out drastic reforms in the military and the economy. Combine military conscription of soldiers with administration, and stipulate the number of conscriptions in each township, pawn, and town, so that the manpower that Qi can mobilize will increase.

Economically, the people were enriched, taxes were levied according to the quality of the land, and the messy currency was recovered and minted in a unified manner. Next, Guan Zhong codified the laws of Qi according to the laws of Huai.

A series of reforms can be described as a powerful medicine for Qi State. So many reforms have also violated the interests of many people in Qi State. But after receiving the support of Qi Hou, these reforms were also implemented little by little.

The reforms of the Qi state had just begun and did not attract the attention of the other vassal states, but these reforms were soon noticed by the Huai state.

Because the reforms of Qi and Huai are actually seventy percent similar, Wang Sheng understood that Qi was about to rise after seeing the charter of these reforms.

The monarchs and ministers of Qi have the heart of reform, which cannot be stopped. Unless he launches a battle against Qi now, defeats the Qi State, and changes the position of a Qi Marquis. But he can't guarantee that if he changes to Qi Hou, he won't implement reforms?

Qi is different from Wu in that it is an important state in Bangzhou. The Huai State is likely to attract siege from surrounding countries in the end. What's more, the Huai State had just annexed the Wu State and needed time to digest the population and land of the Wu State.

It will take at least more than ten years for Huai to annex the big fat meat of Wu, and during this time, Wang Sheng does not want to start a war.

Since the reform of the Huai State Academy, it has begun to recruit a large number of Chinese people, and the proportion of Chinese people is higher than that of the noble scholars, and these Chinese people will be supported by the Huai State Office. After completing their studies, they will be appointed after an assessment.

After Wang Sheng annexed Wu, he drew a large number of grassroots officials to serve in Wu, preparing to spend ten years to firmly control Wu.

At the same time, in order to guard against the state of Chu, Wang Sheng built a city on the edge of the Yangtze River in Wudi. There are mountains and rivers on the east side of this place, the Yangtze River waterway in the west and north, and the river meandering in the south, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack. And because of its proximity to the state of Chu, whether the army of the state of Chu is going down by boat or by land, it is the only way to pass here.

Wang Sheng built a city here, called Jinlingyi, garrisoned 3,000 soldiers, from Jinling, built a beacon along the river, in order to prevent the Chu State Navy from sneak attack. At the same time, he built a city on the other side of Yangzhou, guarded the river, called Zhenjiang, and also garrisoned 3,000 troops.

Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are one south and one north, guarding the Yangtze River waterway. As long as this place is not breached, Wu Di will not have to worry about it.

The state of Chu is located in the upper reaches of Wudi, and the advantage for Wudi is too great, and the naval army can divide Wudi and Huainan in two by going down the river.

In order to guard against the state of Chu, Wang Sheng expanded the naval army and amassed troops in Zhenjiang. The state of Chu was defeated twice and suffered a lot of losses, so it did not dare to continue to fight against the Huai state. The State of Qi was also reforming, and after there was no external interference, the State of Huai began to quickly digest the State of Wu.

A large number of grassroots officials were sent to Wudi, and these grassroots officials brought with them more advanced farming techniques. By teaching farming techniques, the people of Wu no longer resisted Huai, and at the same time reformed the complicated taxation of Wu.

Let the people have a sense of belonging to Huaiguo, although this subtle change is slow, but the effect is very good. Wang Sheng divided the land of Wu into 12 counties and 60 townships, and let the disciples of the school palace go to manage it, and at the same time, in order to prevent some people in Wu from disobeying the king, Wang Sheng divided a large number of meritorious soldiers into each township.

Each soldier has at least 100 acres of land, and most of them will serve as commanders in various places, maintain local law and order, and help tax collectors collect taxes. In wartime, they will help to recruit strong soldiers.

Huaiguo implements the conscription system, the semi-conscription system and the peasant soldier system, and the conscription system is a completely off-duty soldier, this part of the soldiers is the elite of the elite, the rattan armor soldiers, the Yulin Army (the Xiaoguo Army has been changed to the Yulin Army) are all like this, most of them are father and son in the army, the family has a reward land, and the cohesion is very high.

Among these professional soldiers, five are one soldier, two are the chief, five are the tun, one is the chief, the second is the hundred, one is the general, five hundred, one is the five hundred, one is the master, one is a thousand, and one lieutenant is the captain. In wartime, 1,000 people are a combat unit. This kind of organization allows the fighters to fight flexibly in command, like arm drive.

And even if you are defeated, you can quickly regroup your army. But the price is extremely high, and with the wealth of Huaiguo, it is only more than 15,000 people.

The remaining semi-conscription system is a half-time soldier, training for ten days a month, and at the same time distributing weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, and also rewarding land, the peasant soldiers are all soldiers, just training in leisure time, usually farming, only training two or three days a month.

Most of the soldiers here in Wu were semi-conscripted and peasant soldiers. Only those who perform well or make great contributions can be promoted. Of course, because the combat power of the peasant soldiers is not high, the vast majority of them are auxiliary soldiers, and in this era, most of the princes' armies are peasant soldiers, and only the elite are semi-recruited.

According to the development of real history, it was not until the Warring States Period that Wei Wushu was conscripted. The emergence of the Huai State made the conscription system hundreds of years earlier.

Wu has a population of one million, and as long as this restructuring is completed, the entire Wu land can be controlled by Huai. At that time, Wu State alone will be able to form tens of thousands of elites.

It is precisely because of the completely demobilized rattan armor army, with other soldiers of the Huai State, that the Huai army can be invincible. The cross-era military system of Huai State was also founded by Chu Zijue based on the previous life Wei Wushu.
