After successfully dealing with Japan, the Gouyaer's child was indeed lazy and arrogant... It can be seen from the fact that he got a bunch of Japanese girls.

This kid may not really like it, but he knew his father would definitely not like it, so he just did it by chance... How about it, it's a bit like a rebellious boy!

Wang Ning'an knew his son's nature very well. He did not expose it. He even accompanied the little guy to act, making the little guy swell, and then found an opportunity to hit him. Wang Ning'an could not throw his son miserably, but he could hold him very high first. The effect of falling down like this is still the same.

Wen Jifu happened to appear, giving Wang Ning'an the best chance.

Look, Gouyaer couldn't sit still immediately.

When the father is old, the Wang family pointed at him. If he can't do it anymore, he can't fight against Wen Jifu or others... Those enemies attacked the Wang family, what should the father do, what should the mother do, what should the younger brother do, and what should the younger sister do?

Young Master Gouyaer was still very responsible. He asked Zhao Shu for orders, asked for three thousand troops, and immediately took the train to the Western Regions... Wang Ning'an was not worried about his son at all, and he was still the team in the Western Regions.

Zhao Zongjing can be regarded as Gou Yaer's prospective father-in-law. Can he bully him?

And Wang Ningxuan, who is Gou Yaer's third uncle.

As for the Western Regions Protector Murong Qingchen, he was a military general who Wang Ning'an valued very much. Gou Yaer learned to ride a horse and shoot archery with him when he was a child... Wang Ning'an was really worried about such configuration.

As for Wanyan Yingge's Great Jin Kingdom, it can only be regarded as a potential threat!

Wang Ning'an sent an order to Wanyan Yingge, asking him to pursue the remnants of the Khitan forces.

Wanyan Yingge also nodded and agreed to send 30,000 troops to attack, but hoped that the Song Dynasty would provide some food and grass support... After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Ning'an agreed to give him 200,000 stones of food, provided that he had to lead the troops himself.

After several rounds of letter exchange between the two parties, Wanyan Yingge nodded.

He knew the strength of the Song Dynasty better than anyone else. If conditions permit, he would also want to develop westward and fight with the Song Dynasty head-on, so he was really impatient to live.

Zhao Shu was a little disappointed. He came with 50,000 imperial guards. He thought there would be a big battle, but he didn't even shoot a shot. The remnants of the Khitan escaped, and the Jurchens were basically obedient. Looking around, they felt a sense of loneliness of masters.

But soon Zhao Shu couldn't be happy.

After six years of Zhiping, there was a continuous spring drought and the grassland was short of water. Some tribes were all thirsty and hundreds of thousands of people were short of food. There were barbarians from the north to plunder and kill... In the past, these were all dealt with by the Khitans, but now they all fell on the heads of the Song Dynasty.

There are many troubles in the family and the business are big!

Zhao Shu finally felt tricky.

With such a large land, so many tribes, and such a complex situation... what should I do?

The same question has been raised more than once.

"I think I should come up with a solution!"

Zhao Shu said solemnly to Wang Ning'an and Wen Yanbo.

Wen Jifu's outstanding performance gave Lao Wen a face.

Although Zhao Shu did not give him any position, Lao Wen could participate in the discussion of court officials with the title of Pingzhang's military and national affairs. After all, there are only two important officials in Ruzhou at present!

Wen Yanbo looked at Wang Ning'an and saw that he lowered his head and didn't say anything. Old Wen understood that the first three things were going on, and that was to let himself take the lead!

"Your Majesty, there are three ways for us to govern the newly obtained territory at present... First, just like the Western Regions, we set up a gubernatorial commander, manage military affairs, and guard the local area; second, we are to send the governor, and third, we are to the Western Xia, after cleaning up, we will be directly incorporated into the Song Dynasty."

He paused, "The old minister thinks that none of these three things seem to be suitable for Liaodong."

Zhao Shu said: "Speak carefully."

"The Western Regions set up a protective captain to cope with the strong soldiers and cavalry of Seljuk. Liaodong has no strong pressure and has set up a governor. Liaodong is too large and seems to have too much authority! As for the direct incorporation... the old minister thought Yunzhou might be possible, but other places would not be able to do it."

Needless to say, everyone understands the truth.

The reason why Western Xia was able to be incorporated into the Song Dynasty after Wen Yanbo made some trouble was because Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Hongzhou, Longzhou, Qingzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou... These places were once territories of the Central Plains, and had long established prefectures and counties, but were just stolen by Xixia. Now they have officially returned to the Song Dynasty and their belongings have returned to the original owner.

However, there are still vast grasslands in Liaodong, with an area similar to that in the Song Dynasty, but a population of only 2 million. In some places, you may not be able to see a person even if you walk for more than ten days.

It would definitely not work if we set up prefectures and counties and assigned officials according to the Song Dynasty!

After analyzing the situation, Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the above methods are temporary measures... If our Song Dynasty wants to expand our territory, we must manage our territory well... Rong Laochen said too much, and we should adjust the local official system and administrative divisions!"

As soon as these words were said, even Wang Ning'an was stunned.

He almost forgot that in addition to being thick-skinned, Lao Wen was also a talented old master, who was quite insightful in looking at problems.

If you take a look at the map of the Song Dynasty, you will find that the situation in the original Song Dynasty was highly consistent... For example, the population was dense and farming was mainly farming, and almost all Han people were Han people.

In such a relatively simple territory, it is very appropriate to establish prefectures, military counties, and roads are set up above them to divide the administrative areas of the country.

However, once the territory expands, the Western Regions, which are vast and sparsely populated, will be added, and Liaodong, which is mainly nomadic... The climate is different, the people are different, the economic structure is different, and the population density is different... If you need to build an existing model, you will only be able to tie yourself up.

Wen Yanbo continued: "Your Majesty, the King of Yan presided over the center, and the official system has been adjusted. However, the two capitals have been adjusted, but the local area has not been adjusted. The old minister thought that this might be an opportunity, and we must rectify it from top to bottom... I wonder what the King of Yan wanted?"

When asked about himself, Wang Ning'an smiled faintly.

"Brother Kuanfu has a good understanding, and it is indeed the case... But direct adjustment may not be appropriate. It is better to find a pilot project first, and if it is feasible, then push it to the whole country!"

Pilot?

Where?

Two words surged in the hearts of the three people almost at the same time: Liaodong!

That's right, it's the old place of the Khitan.

Yelu Jun ran away, and Wanyan Yingge was also transferred to pursue. The huge land was almost blank. You can deal with it as much as you want. You can be assured and bold as you can experiment with the new model. Isn’t it the best pilot?

"Liaodong is a good choice." Zhao Shu said: "How should we equip the new management system? Do you have any ideas?"

Wang Ning'an pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think the official position in the capital is very complete. You can follow the example of the capital and arrange another set."

Zhao Shu was puzzled, "Master, wouldn't this conflict with each other?"

"No, just reduce the level of the place by one level!"

Wang Ning'an is confident.

Zhao Shu was still confused, but Wen Yanbo was quick, he heard it.

"The King of Yan means that he must be fully equipped at the first level above the prefecture and above, and be able to operate on his own, be responsible for the common affairs of one party, and be able to ensure the control of the court?"

Wang Ning'an gave his thumbs up, "Mr. Wen is very insightful!"

"What should I call it?"

Wang Ning'an also said: "The Central Government Hall is called the Minister of the Secretariat. Whether it is the Minister of the Secretariat or the Minister of the Secretariat, it is one of the three provinces. It is called the Provincial Department in the Court, and it is called the Provincial Department outside. What do you think about it?"

"The province, the province... is in a province outside the capital... yes, your majesty, the old minister thinks it is OK!" Wen Yanbo immediately agreed.

With the name, the following are the subordinate officials... First of all, the province must have a superior, called Pingzhangshi.

However, in terms of rank, the monarch and ministers had different opinions.

There was a problem with all dynasties, which was that they liked to use small to control the big, which was convenient for control. For example, the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty was only a fifth-rank, and usually had to be promoted to the senior officials. The governor was only a fourth-rank, but he could surpass the second-rank governor, not to mention those who were big in sesame and mung beans, but had infinite energy to serve the inspectors of the Zhonghe Censors.

The Song Dynasty also had this problem, such as the three high-ranking officials who were well-official and were basically entitled to the false titles, and they used the Tongpingzhangshi to serve as prime ministers.

Wang Ning'an had previously adjusted his position as a central official and changed it to the Minister of Shangshu and Zuo Pushe as prime minister.

However, in terms of rank, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe was only from the second rank. In order to reflect the majesty of the prime minister, he had to be appointed as the Grand Secretary of Zhaowenguan or the title of Three Dukes to be justified.

In the past, there was only one political affairs hall, and there was no doubt.

But now there is a province, and the problem arises.

Since ancient times, the country of etiquette for 5,000 years in China has paid the most attention to hierarchy rules. If even etiquette is messed up, how can it be convincing?

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that you can give the provincial Pingzhang affairs and add the title of Longtu Pavilion Bachelor or Hanlin Bachelor as a distinction..."

Zhao Shu thought about it and shook his head vigorously, "No, the last time he reorganized, he emphasized the need for equal rights and responsibilities. Now after the adjustment, it is still a mess to add many provinces. Isn't it a rule?"

"Then, then we need to adjust the grade!" Although Wen Yanbo said this, he was secretly happy. Reform means a chance. Maybe he can get some benefits!

Zhao Shu pondered for a while, "Master, promoted the prime minister to the first rank, the deputy prime minister was the first rank, the six ministers were the second rank, and the six ministers were the second rank, and the provincial affairs were the same as the six ministers, and they were the second rank, what did the master think?"

Wang Ning'an nodded, "Your Majesty's arrangement is extremely appropriate. It is just that you will first set up a province in Liaodong. There is no need to make comprehensive adjustments for the time being. When the opportunity is ripe, it will be announced."

"Well, just do as the master wants!" Zhao Shu said again: "What other official positions should be established under the province?"

Wang Ning'an said: "Your Majesty, I think two Pingzhang affairs should be established, one chief and one deputy, taking charge of provincial affairs. At the same time, a governor should be established to assist Pingzhang affairs. Under the governor, six departments should be established, corresponding to the six central departments... and the governor should be established at the same time, responsible for supervising all officials..."
