Hearing that Kublai Khan no longer called himself a "hero" but changed his name to "Long History", Xiao Yao's heart was shocked. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) He knew that the official position of Changshi was set up by the commander in charge of training the local Han army, and Kublai Khan called himself so, obviously wanting to entrust him with an important task. But Xiao Yao thought about it, he had not been in the new investment for a long time, he had no merit, and he had not yet established his own power, and leading the army to fight and training soldiers and horses was not his strength, although he was a high power, but it was not beneficial to the future exhibition, so after thinking for a while, he said: "His Royal Highness the prince is grateful." But there is no merit and no luck, the three words 'Xiao Changshi', the villain can't afford it. After saying that, he bowed his head, which was not only a thanksgiving, but also a resolute reluctance.
Although Kublai Khan called it "Long History", but the official position was actually only temporary, just a casual remark, all he wanted in his heart was to accept Xiao Yao as a staff member and listen to the plan, not really to Xiao Yao to command the troops and horses for himself and gallop the field. At this time, he saw that Xiao Yao was resolute not to accept it, but he didn't force it anymore, and said, "Then this matter will be discussed later." Xiao Yingying, you say that those who achieve great things, having their own team and huge power is the most fundamental guarantee, I don't know how to say this?" Although he tried his best to cover it up, the faint eagerness in his words was still heard by Xiao Yao.
At this point, Xiao Yao knew that the time was ripe, so he had nothing to hide, and immediately said bluntly: "If His Royal Highness the Prince wants to achieve great things, he must first imitate the official system of the Qin Dynasty, find a base in the Central Plains, and establish his own court, which is the first step; Once these two steps are formed, the next problems will be solved. ā
Kublai Khan actually had this idea in his heart, but he never had a clear idea and plan, and he had worked hard to manage the Han Dynasty in the south, but he never put it into practice. At this time, Xiao Yao's words were broken, and Kublai Khan woke up like a dream, and the originally erratic thoughts in his heart suddenly formed a whole, appearing more and more clearly in his mind. After thinking for a while, Kublai Khan suddenly laughed and said, "What Brother Xiao said is very true, let's do it." ā
Due to the Song army's attack on the border areas of Henan, Kublai Khan asked Zhun Meng Ge to set up an economic strategy department in Henan, and appointed Shi Tianze, Yang Weizhong, and Zhao Bi as economic and strategic envoys. At that time, it coincided with Meng Ge's distribution of rewards among the kings, and Kublai Khan obtained the fief of Jingzhao (Chang'an). After he adopted Xiao Yao's proposal, after some thought, he decided to set up his Central Plains base in Chang'an, and then talked with Xiao Yao, and the two of them repeatedly pondered and finally agreed on the content of the reform.
First set up the left and right prime ministers, the left prime minister is the Mongol, in the right position, and the Han people are the right prime minister, subordinate to the deputy. As for the right prime minister of the Han people, Kublai Khan listened to Xiao Yao's construction and decided to hire the famous Guanzhong Hongru from Chang'an City, and this left and right prime minister is mainly responsible for the management of the assessment and appointment of local officials in the Han land of Monan, the selection and supervision of officials, and the general leader of the country's major policies and policies followed by the national lieutenant, which is basically appointed by the Han people, mainly under Xiao Yao's construction, after the establishment of the Han army. This Han army was different from the Han warlords who defected to Mongolia after the fall of the Jin Dynasty and Western Xia, because it was completely subordinate to Kublai Khan's own army, and mainly managed who led the troops under his command, and the question of the soldiers was decided.
Then there was the Imperial Historian, who was appointed by the Han Chinese, who was in charge of the documents, archives and books seized from the Jin Dynasty and the Western Xia by the Mongols, as well as supervising his officials and reporting rebellion and illegal acts, and these three were collectively known as the "Three Princes".
As for the division of Jiuqing, Xiao Yao also mentioned them all, and explained them to Kublai Khan one by one. At the same time, he also incorporated some of the ideas of statecraft that he had come up with in his head. And no matter how Kublai Khan chooses in the end, Xiao Yao has been pursuing and dreaming of the right and status at this time, which is no longer as ethereal as before.
Xiao Yao was well aware of the importance of education for a nation, so he first set up "Fengchang" for Kublai Khan, whose duties were to preside over sacrifices, manage Genghis Khan's mausoleum, and manage school education in various parts of the Central Plains, where Kublai Khan had just been established. Because Xiao Yaojian yƬ Kublai Khan changed the name of Chang'an City to Daxing after the Sui Dynasty, implying the meaning of Kublai Khan's own power great prosperity, and this construction was also adopted by Kublai Khan, so the guard captain who was originally called the Chang'an City Defense Army was renamed Daxing City Defense Army; the imperial servant was responsible for managing the affairs of the army and horses under his command, and the Mongols served as the servant; the court lieutenant was in charge of the decree and punishment, and Xiao Yaosi and the Yuan Dynasty were not yet established, so they decided to temporarily use the Taihe Law of the Jin Dynasty; the Dianke mainly dealt with diplomatic matters, and was responsible for communicating with the Southern Song Dynasty, Tubo, Dali, Goryeo, Japan and the Mongol khanates communicated with each other, and Zongzheng managed the affairs of Kublai Khan's relatives and the Han Mongols, so that the Mongols and the Han Chinese were under separate control. This move was conducive to stability, and Kublai Khan praised it. Next, he was in charge of the internal history of the Su, who was responsible for the restoration of agricultural production in the central plains, the Shaofu was in charge of the market transactions and commercial taxation of the Han land in the southern part of the country, the lieutenant was in charge of the security of Daxing City, and the Shaofu was in charge of the construction of the city passes and palaces.
After that, the restoration of local control, under Xiao Yao's construction, first restored the administrative structure of the Central Plains, the establishment of 43 counties, counties under the county, the county set up a county guard, generally by Kublai Khan's own line of Mongols and new Han people, as well as some of the Han warlords themselves in the local powerful Han warlord marquis, can appoint their own staff, recommend local talents, the decree of the small court, rewards and punishments, justice and supervision, and have the right to quell rebellions and command the local army to resist foreign enemies. At the same time, it is also responsible for the collection of local taxes and taxes. Changshi was in charge of commanding and training the local Han army, and Kublai Khan wanted to appoint Xiao Yao to this post because he wanted him to govern the non-Mongol army for himself. The deputy of the county guard is the county lieutenant, who assists the county guard in commanding the military of a county. Under Kublai Khan, the county guards and county lieutenants were often one and one Han, so there was no need to set up the Daru Huachi county level as in later generations, with county orders and county officials in charge of internal affairs, and county lieutenants in charge of the military of a county, which were basically filled by Han Chinese. There are also townships and pavilions below the county level, and there are three elders at the township level who are in charge of education and education, and are responsible for cooperating with the county order to try cases and collect taxes. The lowest level of militia is responsible for patrolling and policing loites.
Regarding the newly recruited Han army, Xiao Yaojian imitated the military merits of the Qin army, which were: Gongshi, Shangzao, Hairpin Owl, Bu Change, Doctor, Official Doctor, Gong Dafu, Five Doctors, Left Shu Chang, Right Shu Chang, Left Change, Middle Change, Right Change, Shao Shang Zao, Da Shang Zao, Carriage Shu Chang, Da Shu Chang, Guan Nei Hou, Che Hou. These titles are divided into 20 levels from low to high, and the promotion of each level of military merit is accompanied by the improvement of treatment, when advanced to the fifth level of knighthood, the treatment and status of Han soldiers can already be equal to that of Mongolian soldiers, so as to improve the combat effectiveness and enthusiasm of the Han army recruited by the annex. At the same time, considering that in order to win over the Han landlords and warlords Shihou Haoqiang, Xiao Yao also recommended that the nine-rank Zhongzheng system be temporarily adopted in the appointment of officials, and the Zhongzheng officials should be set up in each county, and the scholars from all over the country should be evaluated, and they should be divided into upper, upper, lower, middle, middle, lower, and lower, and recommend them to the Daxing small court according to their grades and grant official positions. Later, it was precisely because of this set of measures implemented by Xiao Yao that the clans and warlords of the Han region in southern Mo gradually began to turn to Kublai Khan, and Kublai Khan quickly gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains. From then on, the joint dictatorship of the Mongol slave owners and the Han landlords was formally established. In the end, Xiao Yao also built yƬ Kublai Khan officially began to mint coins, and set that year as the first year of the Central Unification of Great Mongolia, and Kublai Khan did it one by one without objection.
