The system forced me to be emperor

In addition, the cabinet also submitted a list of officials appointed to the newly divided [-] prefectures, involving the appointment of governors, prefects, and major officials. Those below the third rank were selected by the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites, and those above the third rank were appointed by His Majesty.

After Xia Huang read the excerpts, he personally outlined the fourteen governors, and then let Xiao Rui have a look.Xiao Rui looked at the list, and among the fourteen governors, four were the original county guards of the Zhao State. They surrendered themselves and had an excellent reputation, so His Majesty retained them.The rest of the ten people were all transferred from the existing local and state capitals of Daxia, but judging from the resumes of these ten people, tsk tsk, they are either from aristocratic families or powerful families, and the names of officials from poor families are not displayed at all, so how do you ask His Majesty to choose?Even if you call back and start over again, the choice is the same.

As previously speculated, the establishment of the new fourteen prefectures is a big piece of cake. Emperor Xia has gained the reputation of expanding the territory, while the powerful families have gained practical benefits. Once they gain a firm foothold in the local area, they must be local snakes. big clan.

This is not what Emperor Xia and Xiao Rui want to see.

Now that the officials of the state government have confirmed it, who is the Jiedu Envoy of Anxi Protectorate Mansion?This is Daxia's first real frontier official, and he is His Majesty's confidant, so he is optimistic about the Fourteen States!

So Xiao Rui looked at His Majesty, and Li Mingchong and Shang Jin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also secretly glanced at His Majesty.

Emperor Xia already had people in his heart. He had been thinking about the matter of Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank for the past few days. Since it was a good thing that benefited the country and the people, procrastination was not in his character, so he decided together today.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Rui turned his head to look at Xiao Rui, and said with a smile: "Prince, I will borrow someone from you!"

"Borrower? From whom?" Xiao Rui asked in surprise.

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "Xiao He and Zhang Liang!"

Xiao Rui frowned, and couldn't help but said, "Father, what do you want them two to do?"

After speaking, Xiao Rui immediately guessed the effect!

Emperor Xia laughed and said, "Zhang Liang is resourceful, not only in military affairs, but also in government affairs. Some time ago, no matter whether the crown prince went to Qi State or Zhao State, without Zhang Liang's assistance, he would not be able to accomplish so many great things. I want him to serve as the governor of the Anxi Capital Protectorate. For me and for you, I will turn the Fourteen States of Anxi into a summer garden. As for Xiao He...plant potatoes and corn He is a master of internal affairs, and I want to set up the Huangtian Group and the First Bank of Daxia, and give him full responsibility for it!"

Xiao Rui's breathing suddenly became short of breath.

How much trust does His Majesty have to entrust the important task of being a military governor to the prince's Shao Zhan, and he is not afraid that the prince will expand his power too much.

This is Xia Huang's ability and means. On the other hand, Zhao Huang is afraid that his son will continue to be suppressed if he has power. Such a comparison is a gap.

Xiao Rui naturally wouldn't object, he cupped his hands and said, "It's all up to the emperor."

Li Mingchong and Shang Jin were a little dumbfounded. They hadn't guessed that His Majesty would arrange it like this. They had also met Zhang Liang, and they only remembered that he was very handsome, but they didn't expect His Majesty to have such a high evaluation.

In addition, he is a thief who has been promoted soon.

As for Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank, what the hell is this?

But they did not dare to refute, they could only listen respectfully.

After discussing state affairs, Xiao Rui went to Zhan Shifu to announce the appointment with the eunuch.Zhang Liang and Xiao He were quite astonished, but immediately understood Emperor Xia's good intentions, and immediately received an order to thank him.

After seeing off the internal officials, Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang gathered in the living room.

"This is Zifang's promotion, and the fourth rank has jumped to the second rank! This speed, haha... There are very few such precedents in the entire Great Xia!" Jia Xu and Guo Jia are not jealous, but happy to praise.

The speed is not terrible, but don't forget Zhang Liang's age, he is only 30 years old, a 30-year-old feudal official, immeasurable!

Zhang Liang solemnly said: "This is the great love of His Majesty and His Highness, I have nothing to repay, and I will do my best to serve Daxia."

"This has nothing to do with me, it's what the emperor himself meant. But the ovary... the tree is beautiful and will be destroyed by the forest wind, and you are mine, and you are also from a poor family. You are bound to be hated by others as the governor of Anxi, so The difficulties you have to face are huge, even dangerous. You will understand even if I don’t say it, but I will bring it up today, so you must not take it lightly.” Xiao Rui warned.

Zhang Liang stood up and clasped his hands, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this subordinate understands."

Xiao Rui nodded, and continued: "You know the intentions of the royal father, you and Xiao He cooperate well, and you will ruthlessly rectify the fourteen states, and play hard. The royal father and I don't want to see the rise of the family, and we don't want to see it. Powerful clans and aristocratic families, what we need is balance, a powerful imperial court!"

"This subordinate understands." Zhang Liang said solemnly.

Xiao He also nodded.

Xiao Rui had already talked with Xiao He about the idea of ​​Huangtian Group and Daxia First Bank. Xiao He is a top strategist in internal affairs and has the ability to draw inferences from one instance. In this short period of time, he is also thinking about Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank, and he is deeply aware of If these two institutions are established and set up branches in various states, they will definitely be the most terrifying weapon of the imperial court in the future!

After finishing the admonition, Xiao Rui was worried about the safety of the two of them again, and said, "You two must have expert protection by your side when you go to Anxi. I will let Dian Wei, Wu Zhanfa, Wei Guang, and Shaoyao accompany you."

"No! Your Highness must have experts around you! We are court officials, so nothing will happen! Besides, Han Xin and Chen Qingzhi are also stationed there, so nothing will happen." Zhang Liang refused.

Xiao Rui was firm in his opinion, "You two, Wenhe and Fengxiao are my hands and legs, and any accident will be a fatal blow to me. Wenhe and Fengxiao stayed in the capital, surrounded by Li Kui and personal guards to protect me. Don't worry, but you two can't live without masters. Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin lead troops in the barracks, so it's impossible to protect you at any time. Besides, Dian Wei accompanied you two to Anxi, and I have Li Yuanfang, Yang Youji and Li Cunxiao by my side. A sixth-rank master and a master archer are enough. This matter is settled like this, and no objections will be accepted."

Seeing Xiao Rui being so tough, Zhang Liang and Xiao He felt heartwarming, and nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, now that I'm gone, what will happen to the potatoes in the capital?" Xiao He asked. He now regards corn and potatoes as treasures. Promote to the world!

Xiao Rui said: "There is still a period of time. I will find other people to take charge of this matter as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about it. After arriving in Anxi Fourteen Prefectures, enclose large-scale land as soon as possible so that Huangtian Group can play a role. Don't be afraid of corn And potatoes flow into the enemy's country, but we must also communicate with Zhongyonghou to prevent smuggling in secret."

Xiao He said with a smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured, this subordinate understands."

After Zhang Liang and Xiao He went to the Anxi Duhu Mansion, they also cleared the grain fields first, removed the rewards for the people, and collected the rest as state-owned, and then gave a part of the rewards to the soldiers to support the soldiers to settle down on the spot, and at the same time attract the lack of arable land among the people in Daxia people migrated.

Then it depends on how the Huangtian Group and Daxia Bank operate. Whether it is renting out the land or asking the people to cultivate it, as long as you hold the land in your hands, you will also control the lifeline.

The new chess game of Anxi Fourteen States is easier to manipulate than the solidified chess game of Daxia, and it can be regarded as an attempt to explore a way out for Daxia's future.

It is not an easy task for the people of the world to take the country as the foundation instead of their own families, and it even requires the efforts of several generations.

In the end, Xiao He asked the last question: "Your Highness, according to His Majesty's order, I was appointed as the Minister of the Huangtian Group and the First Bank of Daxia. Which department do these two institutions belong to? Department Six? In addition, they belong to several officials. ah?"

It was not mentioned in the imperial decree, so Xiao He was naturally curious.

Xiao Rui was overjoyed, Xiao He turned out to be an official fan!

"Directly subordinate to Zhan Shifu, the third-rank official position is equivalent to Zhan Shi, and he does not obey orders from the sixth department. This is deliberately done by the emperor, so that you can act with authority."

Xiao He was overjoyed, being an official or not is a trivial matter, and acting with authority is the most important thing.

Chapter 545: Make Your Child the Emperor!

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Rui was thinking about something.

With the help of the system, Xiao Rui no longer lacks civil servants and military generals, but Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He are all first-class counselors, and any one of them can be used to great advantage. It is indeed a pity to be bound to Zhan Shifu.

They should have a bigger direction, or they will enter important departments like Song Ci and Guo Ziyi to expand their strength, or they will leave the capital to make contributions like Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin.Xiao Rui already had the idea of ​​planning, but he did not expect His Majesty to arrange it directly, and the arrangement was in place, and it was done in one step.

Zhang Liang's appointment as Jiedushi is a big move. With his IQ, he doesn't have to worry about being bullied at all.The reason is that Xiao He's transfer was too sudden, and now Huben Pavilion is entirely run by him, Jia Xu and Guo Jia are not good at internal affairs, he can barely handle it after leaving, but he still needs to find another adviser who is proficient in internal affairs.

This goes back to the system.

"System, system, what's wrong with you? You have to reach middle age, your back is sore and your legs are cramping, you can't stand it anymore? You can only watch but not touch?"

Xiao Rui called out affectionately.

The system was silent for more than half a month, and finally said: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Send me another internal affairs adviser!"

System: "Host, wishful thinking is a disease, it's best to let Hua Tuo show it to you."

"Then the amount of quests has dropped sharply recently, so I have to explain it." Xiao Rui asked, without quests, how could the Advent Points come if you don't have enough.
