Valley Emperor

Li Xuan and Liu Bagou talked for a whole afternoon, and they waited until the evening to end the meeting and dispersed.

They talked about a lot of things that day. Some of them had already made plans, while others were because of different opinions. Li Xuan couldn't make up his mind for a while, but he delayed it temporarily.

For example, how to maintain influence and implement effective control over the surrounding villages, everyone agrees on this point.

Whether it is the generals like Fang Dongquan or the civil servants like Liu Bagou, they all believe that if it is necessary to effectively rule these villages, it is essential to have local troops and grassroots management organizations.

The management organization is easy to say, according to Li Xuan's idea, it is enough to follow the example of later generations to establish a village-level administrative organization.

The specific agencies include a village chief, a robbery officer, and a tax officer, each responsible for civil affairs, public security, and taxation.

However, considering that the scale of many villages is very small, it is not cost-effective to set up a village-level administrative agency alone, and it is suspected of wasting human resources.

Because the initial decision is that a densely populated and large-populated village will set up a separate administrative point, and a small and medium-sized village will be a combination of several villages to set up an administrative point.

For example, a large village such as Liushazhuang will not only set up an administrative point, but also have a robbery camp with as many as ten people.

With Xikou Village as the center and many surrounding villages within the actual military control of the Datang New Army, a total of 12 administrative points will be established. It is initially estimated that these 20 administrative points will cover about 20,000 people. The population of the administrative point is about 1,000 people.

The grass-roots officials and arresting officers of these village-level administrative points are a combination of official dispatches and local people. For example, the arresting officers representing the military presence are all dispatched from the Datang New Army. A non-commissioned officer who is willing to retire serves as the position, and part of the common catch is local recruiting, and the other part is selecting some wounded retired soldiers.

The tax officials were dispatched directly by the tax department of the Tang Dynasty cabinet, and these tax officials were not under the jurisdiction of other departments and were directly under the tax department. However, the tax officials would also have an assistant, who was recruited directly from the local area.

In addition, there is the Civil Affairs Officer. This Civil Administration Officer will also be dispatched from the cabinet to serve, and his entourage will be recruited directly from the local area.

However, in order to alleviate the opposition and hostility of the local people, especially the big and wealthy households, to the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan did not revoke the positions of the village chief and the li chief that he had promised before, and even strengthened the nominal power of the village chief. .

Because nominally, the village chief is in charge of the affairs of the whole village, and the civil affairs officer, the robbery officer and the tax officer are all under the village chief.

However, this is only in name. In fact, whether it is a civil administration officer, a robbery officer or a tax officer, they are all directly responsible to the cabinet, but they do not obey the orders of the village chief.

The main purpose of the establishment of village-level administrative points is to completely incorporate these villages into the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and recruit troops and taxes from them, so as to maintain the Tang Dynasty's foreign expeditions.

After dealing with all the messy things, Li Xuancai returned to the so-called temporary palace, which is the temple of the earth.

In the evening, it was rare for Li Xuan to have dinner with his family. In the past, the royal family seldom ate together. Basically, they all eat separately. Today is a special case.

Everyone didn't talk much during the banquet. Even the two women, Dong Yunyun and Ye Shi, wanted to talk to Li Xuan, but with the Queen Mother Bai, it was difficult for them to show their thoughts too clearly.

This dinner, everyone was a little absent-minded, especially Li Xuan. During the day, Dong Yunyun and the others didn't feel it when they first arrived, but at night, the more they looked at them, the more unbearable they were.

He has been leading the army for several months, and he has been in front of a monk for several months, which is unbearable for a normal man, and a man with a wife and concubines.

Seeing Dong Yunyun and Ye Shi under the lamp now, naturally, she couldn't help it.

The three people, Li Xuan, Dong Yunyun, and Ye Shi, were distracted because of their children's personal love, but the Queen Mother Bai didn't eat well, but it was because of business.

Empress Dowager Bai was not idle today, she walked around, and even went to the barracks to see it, and then during dinner, she also asked about the new army of the Tang Dynasty, especially the battalion officers of several battalions and the team officers of each team. appointment.

Although Empress Dowager Bai only asked, Li Xuan could feel that Empress Dowager Bai seemed to have other ideas about the appointments in the new army of the Tang Dynasty, especially when Empress Dowager Bai heard that Bai Yunqi was only serving as the battalion officer of a baggage battalion, and When he did not serve as the battalion officer of one of the three infantry battalions, his expression changed a little.

However, Empress Dowager Bai didn't continue to talk more, and Li Xuan naturally wouldn't talk too much about himself.

Even if this woman is his mother, Li Xuan is very clear that military power must be controlled by himself, and others should not get involved too much, even if this person is his mother.

He knew that his mother, Empress Dowager Bai, always wanted to support Bai Yunqi, but this was just Empress Dowager Bai's own thought, and it didn't mean that Li Xuan thought so too.

According to Li Xuan's own plan, after a few months, the captains of each team, that is, the disciples of the Emperor who were born in the Guards and have received their own personal teaching, actually took control of each team. After gaining initial prestige , he will continue to think of ways to make these people truly serve as officials of a battalion.

Because only those students who were most loyal to him served as the main officers of the army, and at that time he really controlled the army.

At that time, whether Fang Dongquan or Wang Danxu wanted to oppose~www.wuxiaspot.com~ or even the Queen Mother Bai had an idea, Li Xuan always planned to maintain a tough attitude.

Military power should not be left behind. This is Li Xuan's goal, and it is also his bottom line.

With the army, he would have a sense of security, otherwise he would always worry that Fang Dongquan and Liu Bagou would have a rebellion, abolish himself and set up a new king to continue playing the game of rebellion.

Tonight's dinner, the only thing that was more enjoyable was Princess Huichen. I haven't seen her for a few months. The eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the only princess, still maintains her former style, and she can take a bite out of a chicken leg. Half, half of the roast chicken was under her mouth, and she couldn't last for five minutes!

With such a sturdy combat power, even the most elite musketeers in the new Tang army would have to be resigned!

After the whole family finished dinner, the Queen Mother Bai took Princess Huichen, who was still hungry, back to the room first. After the Queen Mother left, Dong Yunyun and Ye Shi both turned their attention to Li Xuan.

The eyes of these two women were the same as Princess Huichen saw the roast chicken!
