After more than a month of fighting, the entire Xue Man tribe was finally wiped out by the Nanhua army. Ahua, Ah Shan and others escorted the prisoners one after another to the Xue Man tribe's lair.

The area near Xue Man's home base was suddenly overcrowded, and the number of prisoners including the Nanhua army and Xue Man's tribe soon exceeded 100,000.

In order to reduce the pressure of food transportation, Zhao Hao had no choice but to order other elders to escort more than 10,000 captives back to their respective territories with their subordinates. While arranging the handover of the territories, he would also settle the captives brought back and send people to teach them how to open up wasteland and cultivate crops.

land to increase food production. Fastest update on PC::/

After all these people were sent away, there were only more than 20,000 soldiers led by Haotian left near the base of Xue Man's tribe.

There is naturally a reason why Zhao Hao did not let these people go back.

On this day, he summoned his ten lords to the commander's tent and arranged the follow-up matters.

After everyone arrived, he took out a map, hung it on the wooden board behind him, and said majestically: "Everyone, I believe you have heard that I will take back your territory. From now on, Nanhua will no longer be called Nanhua.

, and is called the Great Zhou Kingdom; the elders are no longer called elders, but princes; however, your marquis remains unchanged. Marquises, like princes, also have a salary. From now on, your salary will be one hundred thousand catties per month.

food."

Ah Hua and Ah Shan have indeed heard about it a long time ago. Naturally, they will not have any objections to Zhao Hao's intention to take back the territory. The monthly salary of 100,000 kilograms of grain is quite high for them. Therefore, everyone

There was no expression of shock or difficulty in accepting it.

However, they are not like those elders, who are all getting older and want to use their salaries to support themselves in old age. They are still young. If they suddenly lose their territory and their clansmen, wouldn't they have nothing to do?

Still following the old rules, Ah Shan asked on behalf of everyone: "Then what will we do in the future?"

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said: "This is a good question. You will have a lot to do in the future, such as training the army. From now on, the elites of our Great Zhou Kingdom will not gather together temporarily, but gather together to

No more demobilization. Of course, this number will not be too much at the beginning. In the next five years, we will only have 30,000 troops. These 30,000 troops are divided into the front army, the rear army, the left army, the right army, and the center.

The army and the imperial guards have five thousand people in each army and one general. Ahua, you will be the general and command the front army, rear army, left army, right army and center army. As for the generals of the five armies, you will be the general.

My subordinates select the five most brave and capable captains to serve as the captains."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ahua with envy.

This time, Ah Hua was in trouble.

You know, it turned out that each of them had less than 2,500 elite men, but Ahua suddenly became a general commanding 25,000 elite men. Can everyone not envy him?

There is something even more enviable to them.

Zhao Hao then explained: "Ahua, you can choose these elites. You can choose all the young people in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom. I have only one request. The ones chosen must be the ones who can fight best. In addition,

These elites must be trained every day after being selected, and they also have salaries. From the soldiers to the corps commanders to you, the general, they all have salaries. We will discuss the specific salary separately in the future. In short, you, the general

I won't let you work for nothing, and the salary will not be less than 10,000 catties of grain for a month."

In charge of so many elites, there is an extra salary!

At this moment, everyone was jealous with envy.

After Zhao Hao explained the formation of the army, he turned around and pointed at the map and said: "Look, everyone, this is the current territory map of our Great Zhou Kingdom. From now on, there will be no territory for the major elders. It used to be the territory of the major elders."

They were all changed to states. For example, our Haotian Territory is called Tianzhou, the territory of Elder Nanhua is called Nanzhou, the territory of Elder Linluo is called Luozhou, and the Nanman Mountains and the original territory of Xue Man Tribe are merged into the same name.

Lizhou, counties and cities must be established under these states, and magistrates and magistrates must be selected to manage them. Ashan, I will leave these matters to you."

Ah Shan was stunned when he heard this.

What prefectures and counties, what prefectures and counties are known?

He doesn't know!

He couldn't help but ask: "How to fix this?"

Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to fix it. I will teach you slowly during this period. From now on, you will be the prime minister of our Great Zhou Kingdom. All government affairs will be under your control. Moreover, you must take care of everything every day."

The government affairs that have been handled should be written into a memorial and given to me for review."

What government affairs, what memorials?

Ah Shan only felt that his head was getting big. He was a little confused: "I really don't know these things. How about I switch with A Hua?"

Are you switching with Ahua?

You let Ahua, a tall and thick girl, be the prime minister!

What a joke.

Zhao Hao shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, you have to do this. If you can't do it, I'll teach you how to do it for a while. Moreover, I won't let you take care of it alone. I will appoint a prime minister for you."

There are six departments under the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will recruit many people to help you manage them."

What is the Prime Minister's Mansion, what are the Six Ministries?

Ah Shan was still confused.

Zhao Hao did not continue to explain to him, because a few days would not be enough to explain these things.

He then named him again: "Beishan, you will be in charge of the household department among the six departments."

ah!

Beishan's mother was stunned when she heard this.

She was stunned for a moment, then asked weakly: "What is the household department? What does the household department do?"

Zhao Hao said simply: "The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for managing money, food, taxes and taxes. I can't explain this for a while. I will teach you slowly in the future."

Grandma Beishan is so confused. She does know about money and food, but what are taxes?

Zhao Hao then called out his name: "Ashu, you will be in charge of the punishment department among the six departments."

Ah Shu was relatively calm, so he simply didn't ask, because Ah Shan and Beishan's mother had already demonstrated it, and Zhao Hao wouldn't explain it in detail if he asked him now.

Zhao Hao actually had no choice, because officials must at least be able to read and write, and the prime minister and the six ministers must have a certain authority. Among his subordinates, these are the only people who are suitable to be the prime minister and the six ministers, so he can only

It got a little chaotic for a while.

No matter what, let’s set up the court first.

As for the structure of the imperial court, he was a little familiar with the Ming Dynasty, so the setting of officials was roughly based on the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately afterwards, he called out his name: "Ah Huo, you will be in charge of the military department among the six departments."

Ah Huo was speechless.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao called out his name again: "Alin, you will be in charge of the staff department among the six departments."

A Lin was even more speechless.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao called out his name again: "Nanjiang, you will be in charge of the Department of Rites among the six departments."

Wu Nanjiang was dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hao named him again: "Shahe, you will be in charge of the Ministry of Industry among the six ministries."

Shahe just wanted to roll his eyes.

It seems that among the ten people, Ah Feng and Ah Xing have not been appointed. The prime minister and the six ministers have all been appointed, so there should be nothing wrong with them, right?

They were both secretly rejoicing.

Zhao Hao then called out his name: "A Feng, you come to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Why is there another Metropolitan Procuratorate?

What does the Metropolitan Procuratorate do?

Ah Feng wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this time, Ah Xing already had an ominous premonition. He felt that he might not be able to escape.

Sure enough, Zhao Hao then called him by name: "Axing, help me manage Zhili Prefecture."

Fortunately, he still has some experience in managing places. After all, he also had a territory before.

Ah Xing couldn't help but patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

A false alarm, a false alarm.
