Chapter 181 What Does That Little Man Want To Do?
Hearing Li Rui's words, Lu Chen instantly understood what he meant. The court is now controlled by the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family has the most land, and is also the group most sensitive to land issues.

Lu Chen's carrying out reforms on the land at this time will definitely touch the nerves of the aristocratic family. At that time, they will definitely impeach him crazily and try their best to trouble him.

Not only the aristocratic family, but also the scholar-bureaucrat class will definitely criticize him.

Anyway, in a word, whoever has more land in his hands is likely to jump out and make trouble for him.

Lu Chen said at this time: "The reason why this king is reforming now is because the court's attention is on the war with Dawu."

"Even if they know about Beijun's reform, no matter how uncomfortable they feel, they don't have much energy to manage Beijun at this time."

"By the time those people in the imperial court have the energy to care about the affairs of Beijun, the reform of Beijun has basically been completed, and everything has been dusted. By then, it will be too late for them to object."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui thought for a while, and felt that Lu Chen was right. If they waited for the war between Daxia and Dawu to end before reforming, the resistance they would encounter would definitely be countless times greater than they are now.

Now is the best time to reform. Even if some family officials of the imperial court want to prevent the reform of Beijun, they can't devote too much energy to trouble Beijun.

The war between Daxia and Dawu has entered a fierce stage. Now both sides are constantly increasing their troops to the front. Daxia has already lost two counties of land. How can the court have the energy to care about a vassal king in his own Tossing about on the land.

For the current Great Xia, as long as the feudal lord does not rebel and does not add fuel to the situation in Great Xia, it is already very good. As for what reforms they want to do, that is not the focus of their concern.

Lu Chen continued: "Beijun's reform doesn't need to worry about the imperial court's obstruction at all. If you have any questions about the reform measures, you can bring it up now. When it's time to implement it, you don't know what to do."

At this time, the officials in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak any more.

They knew very well in their hearts that Lu Chen's reform measures would definitely be carried out, so what they said would not have much effect.

In fact, everyone has many problems with the reform, such as the separation of the military and the government.

The separation of military and government means that in the future, all the military power in Beijun will be in the Beiwang Mansion and in the hands of Beiwang. They are all civil officials with bare hands, and Beiwang can deal with them if he wants to deal with them.

This is even more terrifying than Emperor Xia's withdrawal of military power, and Emperor Xia's withdrawal of military power is only in name. In fact, if it is during a war, Emperor Xia still has to discuss military affairs with some military ministers.

Moreover, the current Great Xia Military Department is not in the hands of Emperor Xia alone.

But Beijun is different. The separation of military and government means that the Ministry of War and other departments will not meet at work. From now on, the work of the Ministry of War will only be connected with the King of the North, and there is almost no possibility of other departments intervening in the army.

The most important point is that there is no minister like Xiangguo in charge of the officials in Beijun reform, and even Li Rui, the former county guard, has been greatly weakened.

But in this way, Li Rui's position is a bit awkward. He used to be the person who managed all the officials in Beijun. Now that Beijun is reformed, he doesn't know where he should go.

Li Rui didn't ask Lu Chen how to arrange him. It's not good for him to ask about this kind of thing. He believed that Lu Chen should have already thought about what kind of position he would arrange for him, so it's better not to ask him.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "By the way, from now on, except for the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Education, which are directly managed by the king, the other five ministries will be temporarily managed by Li Rui. Above the five ministries, there will be ministers of state affairs. Temporarily replaced by Li Rui."

Hearing this, Li Rui heaved a sigh of relief. Although he had never heard of the title Minister of State Affairs before, this position was above the Fifth Ministry, and he was still in charge of the Fifth Ministry. In fact, this position was no different from Xiangguo. It is also not much different from his previous position as Sheriff.

After Lu Chen came to Beijun, he handed over the military power of Beijun to Lu Chen. At that time, he was only in charge of Beijun's government affairs.

Although Beijun has been reformed, he is still in charge of the government affairs of Beiguo, which is basically the same as before.

Li Rui asked at this time: "My lord, who do you plan to manage the treasury?"

The Ministry of Commerce is directly managed by Lu Chen, but the treasury is not, so Li Rui attaches great importance to the management of the treasury.

This is a money bag, and everyone wants to hold the money bag in their own hands.

After hearing Li Rui's question, Lu Chen smiled lightly, and then said: "From now on, the national treasury will be renamed Beiguo Bank, and the person in charge of the bank will be called the president, and the president will be appointed and dismissed by the king himself."

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart that the King of the North really refused to hand over the treasury to others.

Although they want to fight for the independence of the national treasury from the Beiwang Mansion, at present, the civil servants in Beijun do not have the ability to dare to grab money bags from Beiwang's hands.

At this time, Lu Chen continued: "As for who is the first president of Beiguo Bank, this king intends to let Yelu Nanyan be the first president of the bank."

Hearing this, the hall exploded in an instant, and Li Rui quickly said, "My lord, it's absolutely impossible!"

Lu Chen said lightly: "Are you trying to say that she is a woman and that women cannot be officials?"

"This king just wants to find someone who manages money. As long as she can manage money well and is absolutely loyal to me, it doesn't matter to me whether he is a man or a woman."

"As for her previous identity, this king reused her, which just happened to appease the barbarians in North County and let them know that this king treats barbarians equally."

Lu Chen continued: "Oh, by the way, she was recommended to me by my concubine."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Rui and others were stunned. Even the princess recommended Yelu Nanyan to manage the treasury, so they seemed to have nothing to say.

Moreover, Yelu Nanyan is the woman of the Northern King now. If they continue to oppose it, then they seem to be opposing the management of the treasury by the people of the Northern King's House. With such thoughts, he didn't bother to continue to say anything.

At this moment, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Mu Changtian, "General Mo, you worked so hard to come back from Tianguang City, don't you think you have any problem with Beijun's army reform?"

Mu Changtian was originally on a special mission near Tianguang City, but after Lu Chen thought about the reform, he was notified in advance to come back. After Mu Changtian received the order, he traveled a lot and only returned to Yancheng last night. .

If he came back from such a long distance and didn't give any advice, wouldn't it be a waste of time for him to travel.

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian said: "Your Highness's army reform can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers. I think your highness's reform measures are perfect without any shortcomings."

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed.

Then he said: "Maybe I finished reading the reform measures of Beijun just now. I read it in a hurry, and you didn't remember it."

"Next, let's discuss one by one. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

Then Lu Chen signaled the Jinyiwei soldiers around him to continue reading the reform measures, and they were all discussing Lu Chen's reform measures for the next day.

……

at the same time.

Great Wu Dynasty, Imperial Palace, Qingyun Palace.

Wu Yunwan lay sideways on the beauty's couch, holding a letter of information in her hand, and carefully read it over and over again.

Then she turned her head to look at the informer who was kneeling in the main hall and said, "Have you confirmed whether the heavy cavalry in Beijun has really been wiped out?"

The man kneeling in the hall immediately said: "Princess Hui, there are quite a few military restricted areas in Beijun, and it is difficult for our people to get in, so there is no way to confirm them for the time being."

"However, my subordinates heard that the Daxia court did not transfer the imperial army back, but let Lin Xiuming take over Tianguang City, so the subordinates think that Daxia should have confirmed the destruction of the heavy cavalry, so they did not transfer Lin Xiuming back , but let him continue to stay in Beijun."

After hearing the man's words, Wu Yunwan chuckled lightly, and then said, "That's not necessarily the case."

The destruction of the Beijun heavy cavalry was a bit too strange, which made Wu Yunwan have to be more vigilant.

Sirius King's 30 troops failed to defeat Beijun's heavy cavalry, but the rumored Beixian King's 20 troops destroyed Beijun's [-] heavy cavalry?
is it possible?

Their Dawu spies haven't even confirmed whether the King of Northern Xian has really gone south, and as a result, there is news from Beijun that the heavy cavalry is gone?

The heavy cavalry in Beijun were destroyed too quickly, right?

It always gives people a feeling that Beijun is deliberately hiding soldiers, and then let these heavy cavalry perform some special tasks.

Now that the war between Daxia and Dawu has intensified, a heavy cavalry suddenly disappeared in Daxia at this time, so Dawu must pay special attention.

Wu Yunwan then said: "Immediately send more spies to Beijun, I want to get the exact news of the heavy cavalry in Beijun."

"Yes, princess."

"Subordinates retire."

After the man in the hall left, the corners of Wu Yunwan's mouth rose slightly, then she smiled and said to herself: "I'm curious, what does that little man want to do?"
