In early October, the autumn sun was like a fire, and the entire Nanping Kingdom was immersed in the joy of the autumn harvest. Bags of rice were being dried, and a scent of rice seemed to be flowing in the air.

Thanks to the rapid pacification of Jiangling City, there was not much damage to the three states of Nanping, and the people did not suffer military disasters, so the rule of the Tang Dynasty seemed very peaceful.

The common people generally come into contact with officials or local powerful people. They don't actually care about the change of king. In addition, their interests have not been damaged and they have been exempted from this year's taxes. The short-sighted common people naturally

never mind.

Since ancient times, it has been easier to conquer the world than to conquer it.

Liu Bang spent seven years to unify the world, but it took more than ten years to stabilize the world; in the later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei worked hard to govern the world, but died in three years, and Guo Rong died in seven years. It is difficult for a wise king to live long.

The people are easy to govern, but the powerful landlords are where the "people's hearts" lie. These people are scholars and the cornerstone of the place. Ordinary emperors polish, carve, and even kneel and lick like Zhao Kuangyin.

But Li Jia is different. He is a conqueror. He believes in the belief that the soldier is king. He has the idea that all living beings are equal. No matter how powerful the powerful are, they are still civilians and must obey orders.

These foundation stones were not very obedient and even suppressed the grass and moved it.

With the soldiers pressing down on the territory, the manor owners left one by one with their families, contributing to the prosperity of Langzhou and Lizhou, and working hard again to become a good cornerstone.

The three states of Nanping, the first of which is Jiangling Mansion, have been settled here, so they are naturally at their mercy.

"Lizhou Langzhou was originally affiliated with Jingnan Jiedushi, but now it just returned! Jiangling Mansion was renamed Jingzhou!"

Li Jia's voice is very clear and lively. After all, he is relatively young and his old-fashioned words are not suitable for him.

Sun Guangxian was stunned when he heard these words. Lizhou and Langzhou were prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Jingnan that the Chu State had occupied for decades. Now they are reunited, which is really surprising.

The trust in it is simply indescribable. He has never experienced this kind of trust, but his status is that of a surrendered minister, and now he has been reused. His magnanimity is extremely touching.

"Now these five states, with millions of people, are all in the hands of the Qing family. We must not let them down!"

"I will live up to His Majesty's trust!" Sun Guangxian was shocked, and his words seemed to be strong and mature. Li Jia smiled instantly:

"I should trust you sir!"

"Jingnan Prefecture is established. It has Guizhou, Xiazhou, Jingzhou, Lizhou, Langzhou, five prefectures and 21 counties, with about 160,000 households. There is a magistrate, who is the fourth rank, to oversee all the affairs of the prefecture; there is a general judge,

From the fourth rank, he is in charge of the prosecution and prosecution of a government, and also assists the prefect in government affairs; he also sets up a government transport envoy yamen, from the fourth rank, he is specialized in taxation matters!"

"Set up an inspection department yamen, with one inspector, ranking fourth, several deputy inspectors, and five hundred soldiers, subordinate to the prefect's yamen!"

"Let Li Xin, the Bo of Jiangling, take the lead and lead 10,000 troops. They will serve as a guard and the commander of the capital. They will be stationed in Jingzhou to prepare for the danger from the north!" Li Xin had made great achievements in attacking Nanping and was waiting for the Bo of Jiangling. He also established a new army.

(Two thousand five hundred people) and above the combat level——Wei.

If we follow the rules, above the army level, we should lead ten armies with 25,000 people. This is too large a scale. In addition, a regular battle would only require 10,000 people. Any more would lead to a war of annihilation. Li Jia would not worry about more than 20,000 people.

In someone else's hands.

Li Jia took out the manuscript that he had planned for a long time. He thought about these things all night and finally took it out and explained it.

Prefectures, this level of local institutions, are actually not uncommon. In the Tang Dynasty, the capital and accompanying capitals basically had prefectures. This was the case in the Five Dynasties, including Kaifeng Prefecture, Jiangling Prefecture, and Xingwang Prefecture in the Southern Han Dynasty (renamed Chengtian Prefecture by Li Jia).

, nominally at the same level as the state, but its status is higher, and Li Jia plans to elevate it to the largest local institution, above the state, equivalent to the province.

Although the scale is a bit small at this time, in a few years some states and counties will be annexed and consolidated.

The establishment of Jingnan Prefecture also enjoyed the benefits of Dongting Lake.

The prefect was nominally very powerful, but the power of taxation was taken away by the envoys, and the power of leading troops was controlled by the military commander (guards). In addition, the magistrate had the power of impeachment proceedings, so the power of the prefect was obviously restricted.

It is not easy to be the nominal head of a palace.

The previous strategy of dividing Hunan into four points was obviously tampered with, and Li Jia also needs to adjust again.

Checks and balances are the correct deployment of centralized power.

Sun Guangxian obviously listened carefully. He didn't care about these checks and balances. This was the correct idea of ​​the court. He was sure to control the situation in Jingnan. After all, he had been in charge of the family for decades, so these checks and balances would not trouble him for the time being.

These things are designed for latecomers.

Moreover, the emperor did not regularly set up military governors and vassal towns, which made him very happy. Nanping could also be regarded as his second hometown. He would not bear it if he was exploited by those military governors.

"I wonder who this judge belongs to?" Sun Guangxian asked directly.

"Li Huai'en, the governor of Langzhou, has always been ambitious. Let him serve as a judge, so he can show off his skills!" Li Jia said calmly.

This person, Sun Guangxian, has heard of his reputation. He has a good reputation. Now he is his deputy, which is quite appropriate.

"Since Jingnan Prefecture has been established, some good governance is still needed to show the kindness of the Tang Dynasty!"

The emperor's words stirred up Sun Guangxian. He had changed so much, wasn't it enough? He made up his mind that if these changes were not suitable for Jingnan, he would definitely go through with it.

"Jiangling City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The land is fertile and there are countless fertile fields. There are many disasters every year but few disasters. If you are prepared, you will be successful. If you are not prepared, you will be ruined. If you have eaten too much, you will not be hungry again. I prefer to set up Changping.

Storehouses to prepare for food shortages!"

"This is good governance, as it should be!" Hearing this, Sun Guangxian was very pleased, and his eyes seemed to be shining when he looked at Li Jia.

Chang Ping originated from the Ping Bian practice carried out by Li Kui in the Wei Dynasty during the Warring States Period, that is, the government purchased and stored grain in good years to avoid low prices and hurt farmers, and sold the stored grain in bad years to stabilize grain prices. Later, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sang Hongyang

Developing the above-mentioned ideas, he created the Equalization Law, relying on the large amount of money, silk and materials held by the government, to collect them at low prices and sell them at high prices in the capital to stabilize prices.

After the Han Dynasty, it basically stopped until it was established again in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Five generations of people were not enough to eat, so how could there be any spare time to establish it again? Everything was for the purpose of fighting, so it was naturally abandoned.

"The grain in Changpingcang must be enough for one government to eat for three years. The transshipment envoy must use one tenth of the total tax to make Changping grain, and the central and local governments will receive half of it!"

"Suppose there is one envoy from Chang Ping, from the fourth rank."

In other words, the imperial court and local governments would tax 70/30, and each would use half of it to be included in Chang Pingcang. After taxation, the imperial government would pay 65% ​​and the local government 25%.

Sun Guangxian was naturally happy when he heard this.
