Chapter 937
"Knowing that Qinzhou's military affairs were prosperous, Changbai opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and promoted the prestige of our country...he was promoted to Tongfeng Dafu and Zhongshu Sheren."

It was only when winter came that Sheng Changbai's transfer order came down.

Although the emperor reformed the official system, the official positions in the Zhou Dynasty were still somewhat cumbersome.

It is still composed of official positions and dispatches. Those who reach the high-ranking official level will be given post of library position. As a literary honorary title, the court will also provide some additional subsidies.

Sheng Changbai's current rank is the fourth grade, and he would be a member of Zhongshushe if he were to be sent.

This job is actually that of the emperor's secretary.

Responsible for helping the emperor write imperial edicts and draft edicts. In addition to writing the king's orders, he is also responsible for compiling standards, compiling classics, and recommending canons.

This position is not bad, after all, he has to help the emperor draft imperial edicts.

It is necessary to always follow the emperor's identity, and there is a chance to influence the emperor.

He is one of the attendants of Dazhou and also falls within Dazhou's "Two Systems". In the future, Sheng Changbai will be qualified to express his opinions on any matters that need to be discussed by officials above "Two Systems" in Dazhou.

The title of the two systems of the Great Zhou Dynasty comes from the titles of the internal and external system and the internal and external system.

The former refers to Hanlin bachelors, Zhongshu Sheren, and Zhizhigao.

The latter refers to those who are waiting for a job and above, up to a bachelor's degree or a bachelor's degree.

At the lowest level, it was actually Sheng Changbai, a fourth-grade middle school student.

This group of people are the candidates for prime minister of Zhou Dynasty.

If Sheng Changbai was not sent by the Shushe people on his own mission, but had the responsibilities of being a waiter, he would actually be a waiter.

After the reward was awarded, the economic and strategic appeasement envoys of the new land set up by the imperial court also arrived in the northwest.

After the two people quickly handed over, Sheng Changbai began to pack his things and return to Bianliang.

Sheng Changbai's harvest in the northwest has been enough.

The victory of this battle has proved that Zhou Dynasty actually has the ability to destroy Xixia.

If the Zhou Dynasty has sufficient supplies and economic support, the Liao Kingdom will not interfere.

Even this time, at least I can go to half of Xixia.

Therefore, the focus of Dazhou now is undoubtedly to develop itself and accumulate internal strength.

With enough supplies and training of enough elite soldiers and generals, they will be able to resist the Liao Kingdom when they attack Xixia.

We can retract the Hengshan defense line and resolve the constraints in the northwest.

Without the constraints of the northwest, he faced the Liao Kingdom alone.

The Great Zhou Dynasty also had the opportunity to compete fairly with the Khitan of the Liao Kingdom and take back Yan Yun.

When Sheng Changbai returned to Bianliang, it was much later than Gu Tingye returned to the court with his army.

Sheng Changbai's return to Bianliang was somewhat silent compared to the excitement of the army's triumphant return to the court.

After the foreign official returns to Beijing, he cannot actually go back to his home directly.

After going to the imperial city to report to the emperor, Sheng Changbai returned to Sheng's residence.

"Father, mother, I'm back."

A few years have passed, but Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu have not changed much.

For people in their 40s and 50s, their appearance will not change much in a few years.

In the past few years, the two of them have been living a comfortable life.

The main reason is that the family's official careers are all going smoothly, so there are no bad things.

After the number of people in the family is reduced, it is actually easier to worry.

After the most noisy Landus got married, there were actually no troublemakers in the family.

Sheng Laosan found a strong wife like Liu, and she was treated like a quail.

Under the supervision of Liu, who hoped that her husband would become a dragon, Sheng Laosan could only immerse himself in studying.

It's hard to even leave the house, let alone cause any trouble.

The flower streets and willow lanes, the poetry and cultural gatherings, all have bid farewell to Sheng Laosan.

Not to mention Sheng Xiaoqi, who looks exactly like Wei Xiaoniang.

Normally, he doesn’t even have a sense of existence, let alone take the initiative to cause trouble.

The child is almost the same as Sheng Changbai when he was a child, except that his personality is a bit softer.

He just studied hard and wanted to pass the imperial examination.

Lin Xiaoniang, who still has her charm in her 30s, can make trouble, but Lin Xiaoniang, who is now over forty, can no longer make trouble.

Sheng Hong really doesn't have much appeal anymore.

"It's good to be back. Let's go see the old lady first." Sheng Hong said.

"Old lady Ci'an."

The old lady's condition was better than Sheng Changbai expected.

Sheng Changbai used it on the old lady, and the skill of rejuvenation was one thing.

The other one is the same. The old lady is in a good state of mind now and her life is going smoothly.

Although when Minglan first got married, the old lady was bored for a while.

But after Minglan also gave birth to a child, the old lady had new concerns.

He devoted his passion to Minglan's children.

In addition, Minglan often came back to visit the old lady when she had time.

For an old lady who likes to be quiet, this kind of occasionally lively but mostly quiet days is exactly what she likes.

"You've come back a long way and you're tired. Go back and rest first. You don't have to stay with me, an old woman."

After chatting for not long, the old lady let her go. She was still the same old lady who made people worry-free.

"Now that Changbai is back, let's find a time for the girls to come back to visit their relatives. It's been a long time since the family has been reunited." The old lady added.

You really have to find a suitable time to call everyone together. In this era, it is not easy to visit relatives.

Hualan and Minglan in Bianliang are easy to talk to, but Molan and Rulan, who are serving as officials abroad with their husbands, cannot come back even once a year.

There is some truth to the far-off fragrance and the near-stink. The three Lans before, especially Mo Lan and Ru Lan, fought and compared each other fiercely at home.

Now we are so far apart from each other that we can only see each other occasionally.

They are still much more harmonious than before, and more like sisters than before.

Now these people have become outsiders, and they all have to look to the Sheng family for politics.

After arriving at the Sheng family, he was much more restrained and polite than before.

"Your Majesty, we can now relax some speed on the reform and speed up its promotion."

Things at home were actually trivial matters. Sheng Changbai's main purpose of returning to Bianliang was to accompany the emperor in reforming the law.

After Sheng Changbai successfully expanded the land.

The emperor who ordered the dispatch of troops was the one who gained the most. After gaining military exploits, the emperor's prestige also greatly increased.

Compared with the previous five emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the status of the new emperor has improved rapidly and is already ranked in the top three.

No matter who is asked now, in terms of martial arts, the new emperor is only inferior to Taizu.

Once your fist is hardened, you will naturally be even harder than before in the court.

Facing an emperor with great martial arts, opponents naturally did not dare to be as arrogant as before.

The emperor dared to attack even the Xixia people, let alone the powerless civil servants in the country.

The opposition to the reform was immediately suppressed.

In just three short years, the national power accumulated by the Zhou Dynasty supported the imperial court in Hehuang.

It truly proves that reforms are effective, but if the argument is that reforms are useless, there will be no market.

"The first thing is to continue to rectify the officialdom. Only when the team is rectified can we do the next thing."

It is still necessary to clean up the mediocre and corrupt officials who have left the court. Mediocrity does not necessarily mean that corruption will cause less damage.It would be better for the court to support these people in vain than to allow these people to gain power.

The imperial examination system cannot be changed as a whole. It is the foundation of literati and the most advanced talent selection mechanism in existence.

However, the content of the exam can still be more practical.

At least add some basic knowledge such as astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, and arithmetic.

Taixue, another top institution in the country, can also imitate modern universities and train talents in agriculture, water conservancy, mining and other fields.

“Then, let’s start with agriculture.”

The foundation of feudal society is farming, and farming is something that can never be avoided.

First of all, it is necessary to promote improved varieties. In fact, a lot of work has been done on this matter. Potatoes have been promoted for half a week.

What remains is that after it is promoted throughout the country, the remote areas that are not currently promoted actually need potatoes more than other places.

The second point is to curb land annexation.

Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, land annexation was not restrained, which resulted in the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But this matter is still too much, and the industry and commerce of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate too many landless farmers.

Too many farmers have lost their land and cannot find jobs.

There is no way to live, it will only cause all kinds of civil unrest and lose the national power of the Zhou Dynasty.

The third point is that Sheng Changbai still supported the emperor's implementation of the Green Seeding Law in the local area.

During the lean years, the government lent money to farmers at low interest rates.

On the one hand, it is greedy for the money for the imperial court, but on the other hand, the damage caused by usury to the common people is still too serious.

Homeowners who borrowed money from loan sharks were rarely able to turn around.

One by one, they were changed from being the main customers of the imperial court to clients who had no land, were dependent on the local area, and could not make much contribution to the imperial court.

To do this kind of thing, the ethics and supervision of officials must be improved a lot.

But it was only after rectifying the officialdom, preparing for constant supervision, and arranging a complete supervision system that Sheng Changbai dared to support this kind of thing.

Otherwise, the original good governance will only be implemented as harsh governance in local areas.

The last point is Fangtian. Find out the acres of land that have been concealed in the local area.

The land that is ownerless and unreported in the local area can be sold to the lower class people at a cheap price to supplement the ordinary people.

"Then it's military."

We can promote the art of generals. In the forbidden army, the problem of generals not knowing the soldiers and soldiers not knowing the generals is still worth changing.

The generals who train and lead troops on expeditions are never the same group of people, which is quite an exaggeration.

This will indeed not make the generals too powerful, but it will also affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

Giving a transfer period of five to ten years can also minimize this problem.

The reform of the military must continue.

Removing redundant troops and eliminating the old and weak are long-term tasks.

In addition, some treatment can be improved for soldiers and warriors.

Of course, as the salary increases, the quality of soldiers and generals will also improve.

The new emperor is better than the previous emperor in terms of martial arts, and he has the confidence to be more relaxed with the generals.

The military academy still needs to be arranged, and new generals need to be assessed and put on duty before taking office.

The old generals and officers will also be brought back in batches.

“Then there’s reforming commercial law.”

Promulgate sound business laws and create a better business environment.

Prospering the economy and collecting more business taxes is one aspect.

The other is to restrict the behavior of businessmen. The government still needs to control things like unscrupulous hoarding and driving up prices.

Then we will increase maritime trade and slowly develop shipping, maritime trade, and the navy.

On the one hand, increasing the income of the imperial court, the navy can also be of great use when targeting the Liao Kingdom.

"Weapons also need to be reformed."

Sheng Changbai can take the lead in this matter, and climbing the technological tree is one aspect.

It is also necessary to ensure the quality of the weapons produced by each weapons supervisor.

Now the quality of the weapons of the Zhou Dynasty is so different from that of Xixia.

The technical gap itself is one aspect, and the lack of strict quality control and uneven quality is another aspect.

In terms of quality, Sheng Changbai can climb the technological tree by himself, improve the smelting level and improve the strength of steel.

In terms of quantity, we can also promote the assembly line so that these blacksmiths and craftsmen can only focus on one skill to improve production efficiency and quality.

When Sheng Changbai was 30 years old, Zhou's reforms had initial results.

There have been certain achievements in agriculture, military, commerce, and weapons.

The country was rich and the army was strong, and the conditions were ripe, Zhou launched another war against Xixia.

Gu Tingye led an army to defend the Liao Kingdom in the north.

Sheng Changbai led his troops out of Hengshan and captured Xixia.

Xixia, which was in more chaos in the country, performed worse than last time.

Sheng Changbai not only successfully occupied Hengshan, but also led his troops to invade Xingqing Mansion in Xixia.

If it weren't for the young emperor and the old widow of Xixia, there would still be nomadic instincts to run fast.

Sheng Changbai can really capture the young emperor of Xixia and return to Bianliang to offer him as a prisoner.

After plundering the Xingqing Mansion in Xixia and burning down the capital of Xixia.

Sheng Changbai decided to end the battle.

To be honest, Sheng Changbai really didn't like this land in the northwest, and neither did the Zhou Dynasty court.

Occupying these places can gain certain strategic advantages.

But it only has strategic advantages, and development is very difficult. The input and output are really not proportional.

There are many areas in Dazhou that can be developed, but they have not yet been developed.

There is really no energy to vigorously open up more barren territory.

The occupied territory was nominally under the rule of the Great Zhou, but in fact it was entrusted to the Fan people who were attached to the Great Zhou.

Of course, after these people have been educated by the Han people for a long time and recognized the culture of the Han people, they will be assimilated sooner or later and become their own people in the Zhou Dynasty.

Sheng Changbai's dispatch of troops this time not only crippled Dangxiang, but also made Dangxiang's people no longer a threat to the Zhou Dynasty in a short period of time.

It also lies in opening up the trade routes between Great Zhou and the Western Regions. Purchasing war horses in Great Zhou is much easier than before.

When Sheng Changbai was 35 years old, the Great Zhou Dynasty had worked hard for another five years and made great efforts.

He launched a war against the Liao Kingdom and divided his troops into five routes, advancing simultaneously from the northwest, northern Xinjiang, Shandong, inland rivers, and sea routes.

After two years of offensive, the Zhou Dynasty finally defeated the increasingly decadent Liao Kingdom.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were recovered, realizing the long-cherished wish of the Great Zhou Dynasty since the generation of Taizu.

If the Jin people were not powerful, the Zhou Dynasty would not be suitable to directly border the Jin people at present, and the Liao Kingdom would have to be left to deal with the Jin people.

In fact, there was no need for Zhou to accept Liao's surrender.

At the age of 37, Sheng Changbai carried the unparalleled feat of destroying Xia Pingliao.

At the age of Buhuo, the official worshiped Zuopushe, the minister, and his servant.

He officially became the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and became the youngest prime minister since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
