Become a feudal king from today

Los Angeles.

When Niucha captured Jincheng, Ma Han summoned Sizhou's wealthy families to have a banquet in the city.

After three rounds of drinking, he officially showed off his cards with the wealthy people.

"What! You want to join King Yan and become his subordinate from now on." A rich man with a red face suddenly stood up.

The banquet suddenly became deathly quiet.

Another wealthy family stood up and said, "Are you, the Ma family, planning to sell us to King Yan?"

Ma Han had long expected that the wealthy people would be excited.

So he said: "Yes, our Ma family has made a choice. Only by following King Yan can our Ma family have a future, otherwise it will only be destroyed in this troubled world."

After a pause, he said: "His Royal Highness King Yan said that as long as you are willing to hand over the land and distribute it to the people, your past will be forgotten. This is benevolent and righteous enough."

"How can you just forget about it and use it to accumulate our family property?" A wealthy family snorted angrily.

"Ma Han, you'd better think clearly. We don't have to follow your Ma family. The world is in chaos and powerful families are recruiting troops everywhere. They are eager for us to join them." A wealthy family looked sarcastic.

Ma Han was unmoved. He looked at the crowd of wealthy people and said, "I just ask you, who is willing to stand with my Ma family?"

After waiting for a while, the five small wealthy people stood up and walked to Ma Han.

"Traitor!" The other wealthy families beat and cursed one after another.

Seeing that most of the wealthy families did not stand in the Ma family, Ma Han looked disappointed.

Just as King Yan said, these wealthy families only care about their own interests.

They will not consider the long-term future of Dasong, nor the long-term interests of the Ma family.

"In that case, don't blame me." Ma Han lowered his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly threw the cup on the ground.

As the cup shattered, Dian Zhang led the soldiers and rushed in.

"Put them all into prison. From today on, all the property of the wealthy families will be confiscated and distributed to the people of Sizhou." Ma Han said.

After getting his order, the soldiers captured the wealthy people one after another.

Amidst the sound of cursing, the wealthy people were escorted out of the yard by the Ma family soldiers.

Dianzhang came to Ma Han at this time and said: "Master, the soldiers have been assembled and can set off at any time."

Ma Han nodded, and then they completely wiped out the Sizhou wealthy family.

…

"Congratulations, Your Highness, Jinzhou is now stable, and Sizhou will be soon too."

Yancheng, the meeting hall of the royal palace.

Liu Fu handed over to Zhao Xu.

The news of Mahan's break with the wealthy family reached here in just three days.

Zhao Xu smiled.

The sixth prince died, and Ma Han was in Sizhou to wipe out the remnants of the wealthy family.

Although it will take some time, the war between the Ma family and the wealthy family shows one thing.

Like him, the Ma family was officially enemies of the wealthy family, and there was no turning back.

Next, they will start a life-and-death struggle with the seven powerful families who have established their own countries, as well as the tyrants under their command.

"Jinzhou has been recovered, but we still need to send officials to take charge of it. I will leave this matter to you." Zhao Xu said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu was delighted. The territory controlled by the palace was getting bigger and bigger, and he, the prince of the palace, was naturally happy.

Zhao Xu nodded and thought of one thing, and said: "By the way, I am planning to reform the official positions of Fengtu. Since the imperial court and the Fengtu government office exist at the same time, it is better to merge them into one. I have already reported this matter to the emperor. Yes, the emperor agreed."

Liu Fu was startled for a moment, then relieved.

The territory of the imperial court now is the territory of King Yan's fiefdom.

After the King of Yan rebuilt the court, it was better to recruit a group of court officials to support him. It would be better to just draw on this material.

Let the feudal officials simply bear the title and rank of court officials.

In this way, although their functions have not changed much, their reputation has been improved.

After laughing twice, Liu Fu couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what is your official position now?"

"Of course it's Prime Minister Dasong." Zhao Xu said, "And don't call yourself a subordinate in the future, but call yourself a minister."

"Prime Minister!" Liu Fu heard this and was so happy that he almost fainted.

He never thought that one day he would become the prime minister of Dasong.

Although the actual power of this prime minister is no different from that of a prince in a palace, his reputation has almost reached the pinnacle of power.

"Your Highness, you are so kind to me, no, I am so good that I will have to work as a horse for you for the rest of my life." Liu Fu's mouth trembled with excitement.

Zhao Xu rolled his eyes, "I don't want you to be a cow or a horse in your next life. You just have to do your best for me in this life."

Immediately, he picked up a booklet from the table and handed it to Liu Fu, "This is the list of ministers approved by the emperor."

Liu Fu took it and hurriedly opened it, and surprisingly his name was the first, which corresponded to the position of prime minister.

Then the one below is Yang Feng, whose corresponding position is Grand Marshal of the Army, but I made a note that it is just a false position.

Under Yang Feng is Chang Wei, whose official position is the general of the country.

Then Zhu Tuo and other governors and county governors were promoted to the posts of Minister of the Six Bubu, Minister of Dali Temple, Minister of Honglu Temple, etc.

Mi Wen was promoted to Yushitai, Xu Ke took charge of the Supervisory Yuan, etc.

"These are the chief officials of each department. You can choose the remaining officials yourself and send them to the king for review." Zhao Xu said.

Liu Fu nodded.

The official system is very complex and needs to be carefully improved, and there are still many things that require him, the prime minister, to do.

"In addition, I am planning to take advantage of the change in official positions to carry out some restructuring of the officialdom and realize the separation of powers in all states and counties in the future." Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and said.

Liu Fu is no stranger to this term.

In the Government Affairs School, King Yan talked about the separation of powers many times.

In fact, this is to divide the power of the previous county magistrate into three parts, with three chief officials jointly in charge of one side.

This will prevent the county magistrate from monopolizing power and doing whatever he wants in the county where he holds office.

At the same time, the three chief officials will be rotated every three years and transferred to other counties to prevent the three chief officials from becoming familiar with each other and working together.

These three chief officials are the county magistrate, general judge and supervisory history.

They were in charge of government affairs, arresting thieves, and trying cases respectively.

At the same time, a special agency will be set up within the Supervisory Yuan to review local officials, check each other with county magistrates, and reduce official corruption.

At that time, when King Yan talked about this, he realized that the feudal government system would change in this direction. Unexpectedly, this day has finally come.

"Your Highness is really generous. After this official restructuring, Yanzhou will have a completely new look." Liu Fudao.

In his opinion, this improvement to the Dasong official system will make the implementation of government affairs more efficient and professional.

The county magistrate can devote all his energy to the implementation of policies without having to be overwhelmed by various cases.

Only those who are proficient in the law of the Great Song can serve as officials of the Control Council.

Tongyan is directly under the jurisdiction of Wuhou Division, and the chief officer must be proficient in investigation and arrest.

Each of the three can benefit one party if they perform their duties.

The two were talking when Feng'er informed Yang He that he was coming.

Zhao Xu vaguely guessed something, so he let Yang He in.
