In February of the fourth year of Chuping, when everything was ready, Yuan Shu immediately ordered the civil servants under his command to implement the new official system, and at the same time spread the newly stipulated laws throughout the country, so that the people under his rule must know.

Yuan Shu's reform this time can be said to be very thorough, with detailed arrangements from the county guards down to the soldiers.

First of all, Yuan Shu completely separated the army from the government, the army did not interfere with the government, and the government did not waste the army.

In terms of government affairs, there are eight ministries, namely the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Commerce. Each ministry has different powers and responsibilities.

Ministry of Officials: in charge of the evaluation, promotion, and transfer of officials from all over the country, and the Minister Yan Xiang;

Household Department: in charge of the salaries of officials in various places, statistics of population, household registration, drawing of maps, Shang Shu Li Feng;

Ministry of Public Security: In charge of arresting robbers and arresting murderers and maintaining law and order in various places, Shangshu Yang Hong;

Ministry of Punishment: in charge of justice, accepting cases, picking up culprits, handling civil disputes in various places, favored by ministers;

Ministry of Rites: In charge of sacrifice, etiquette, education, Minister Lu Kang (always old, but still useful);

Ministry of Agriculture: in charge of agriculture, water conservancy and other affairs in various places, and at the same time responsible for popularizing advanced farming techniques, Minister Han Yin;

Ministry of Industry: In charge of scientific and technological development, recording patents reported by the public, Shangshu Moyun (mentioned earlier);

Ministry of Commerce: in charge of trade in various places, ensuring that roads and checkpoints are normal, Shangshu Jinshang;

The Eight Departments need to set up branches in various places to ensure the smooth flow of local policies.

Gu Yong is the prime minister and Zhang Zhao is the deputy prime minister. They are in charge of all the affairs of the eight departments. Unless there are important matters, they can make their own decisions and do not have to report to Yuan Shu.

In addition, there are two other departments besides the eight departments, namely the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Supervision is responsible for monitoring officials and generals in various places. If anyone is found to be corrupt, accepts bribes, violates the law, or abuses his power, he will immediately report to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal. The minister is Zhang Hong.

The Ministry of Finance is responsible for collecting taxes from all over the country, saving food and grass, and distributing the funds of various ministries, officials' salaries, and even the expenditure of the army.

These two departments are only responsible to Yuan Shu.

In terms of military affairs, Yuan Shu also divided it into four divisions, namely combat, logistics, staff, and intelligence.

The generals are only responsible for combat and training; the logistics department directly withdraws from the finance department, and of course the purpose must be stated, and the finance department will also send people to verify; He is also a staff officer; the intelligence department is in charge of Feng Ji.

In fact, the person in Yuan Shu's mind to be in charge of intelligence was Jia Xu from Chang'an. Although Feng Ji was good, he was still much worse than Jia Duwu.

It's a pity that Jia Xu hasn't taken effect yet, and Yuan Shu can only let Feng Ji take care of it.

Finally, Yuan Shu carried out another currency rectification.

Now the world is in chaos, prices in various places are soaring, and the five baht coin has depreciated drastically. Although Yuan Shu's rule is relatively peaceful, it has also been affected to a certain extent.

Therefore, Yuan Shu ordered people to return all the five baht coins to the furnace, mint them into newer coins, reset the prices, and then forcibly exchange the coins with the people.

At the same time, Yuan Shu minted gold coins and silver coins. One gold coin was exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin was exchanged for one thousand copper coins.

In this way, even if wealthy households from other places brought a large amount of five baht coins to Yuan Shu's rule, they would not be able to cause a huge impact on prices, thus ensuring the interests of most people.

With Yuan Shu's order, the various places under his rule began to operate, and it was a busy scene.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Shu made arrangements for the civil and military personnel who had recently joined the ranks. Needless to say, Man Chong served in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and Lu Qian who accompanied him was sent to Xiangyang by Yuan Shu to assist Wenpin.

<Help Xu Chu train the army.

As for Liu Ye, Yuan Shu stayed by his side, and now he is a staff officer, and at the same time works under Mo Yun of the Ministry of Industry. <, another arrangement will be made.

As early as after the capture of Huainan, Yuan Shu was determined to build a naval force, and even ordered Mo Yun to secretly research new warships.

However, naval training is different from infantry and cavalry. Without good generals, it is absolutely impossible to train a strong naval army. Suffering from the lack of good naval generals, Yuan Shu has been entrusting this matter, and even Mo Yun has introduced the new warfare The ship was successfully developed, but Yuan Shu still failed to find a good navy general. <, without further ado, Yuan Shu ordered him to form a water army, initially [-], and then increase as appropriate in the future, and the army will temporarily train in Chaohu Lake.

Jiang and Tuesday were overjoyed, and they were even more grateful for Yuan Shu's attention.

Afterwards, the two began to select soldiers and went to Chaohu Lake for training.

Another 25 troops were recruited, and Yuan Shu already had [-] troops under his command.

After capturing Jiangdong, Yuan Shu received a large number of soldiers, and the number of the army expanded dramatically.

For this reason, Yuan Shu ordered the reorganization of the various armies under Yuan Shu's rule. All the thin and weak people were eliminated, and most of them were filled into the reformed Ministry of Public Security, leaving only the elite and strong soldiers.

<There are 25 troops, plus [-] sailors, for a total of [-] troops.

After arranging the affairs of the navy, Yuan Shu was completely at ease. The reform was handled by Gu Yong, Xun You and others.

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know that a crisis was gradually approaching him.

……

……

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao was shocked when he learned that Yuan Shu had been named General of Pingnan and controlled Yang, Jing, and Henan prefectures.

Gathering the crowd to discuss, Liu Biao worried: "Yuan Shu has always been eyeing Jingzhou. Now that he has been conferred by the imperial court and occupies great righteousness, he may invade Jingzhou soon. What do you think should be done?"

Although everyone was talking about it, there was nothing they could do.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang came out and said: "If Yuan Shu wants to attack Jingzhou, there are only two ways to go. One is to send troops from Xiangyang to the south and attack Jiangling by force; the other is to send troops from Jiangdong to Yuzhang and attack Jiangxia."

Speaking of this, Kuai Liang glanced at the crowd, and then continued: "Yuzhang prefect Liu Yao and we are allies, and in the previous Jiangdong war, he had a lot of hatred with Yuan Shu, if Yuan Shu came to attack , Liu Yao will definitely resist to the death. Therefore, you don’t need to pay attention to the Yuzhang [-]st Road, and the only thing you have to deal with is the Xiangyang [-]st Army.”

"What's Zirou's trick?" Liu Biao asked hastily.

Kuai Liang smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry! Jiangling is such a fortified city, even though Yuan Shu has millions of troops, why should I be afraid?"

"That being said! But Yuan Shu was able to occupy Jiangdong in just a few months, and his military strength is evident. I'm afraid we are no match." Liu Biao's face was full of worry.

Seeing Liu Biao's expression, Kuai Liang couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Now that Yuan Shu hasn't come yet, Liu Biao just has this expression, if Yuan Shu really comes to attack, Liu Biao won't run away?

Although disappointed with Liu Biao, Kuai Liang always remembered Liu Biao's kindness to him, so he calmed down and said, "Yuan Shu's new acquisition of Jiangdong is not yet stable, and it is expected that he will not make any moves within this year, even next year. "

Hearing this, Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

Kuai Liang frowned and looked at Liu Biao, and said, "My lord, don't be careless! Although Yuan Shu won't come at this time, it may not be the case in the future. My lord should take advantage of Yuan Shu's stability and rule, and enter Xiangyang. As long as I get Xiangyang, I will wait for it." You can rely on the Xiangjiang River to guard, and you will no longer be afraid of Yuan Shu."

Liu Biao was dumbfounded, he was very lucky that Yuan Shu didn't come, and now he was asked to attack Yuan Shu, Liu Biao couldn't imagine that if Yuan Shu got angry and led his troops to take revenge, he might die without a place to bury him.

Seeing Liu Biao's expression, Kuai Liang knew what he was thinking, and said, "My lord may not be able to win by himself, but if we unite with other princes to attack Yuan Shu, there may not be no chance of victory."

Liu Biao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Who does Zirou think he should form an alliance with?"

"Xuzhou Tao Qian!" Kuai Liang said firmly.

"Tao Qian?" Liu Biao whispered.

"Exactly!" Kuai Liang clasped his hands and said, "Guangling City under Xuzhou's rule is located behind Huainan and in front of Jiangdong. It is like a sharp thorn in Yuan Shu's back. If Liang is Yuan Shu, he will definitely pull out this sharp thorn, otherwise he will have trouble sleeping and eating. "

Speaking of this, Kuai Liang's meaning is already very obvious.

If Yuan Shu wanted to get rid of this sharp thorn, he would definitely offend Tao Qian, which gave Liu Biao the opportunity to join Tao Qian to deal with Yuan Shu.

"Tao Qian is old and timid, I'm afraid he might not dare to offend Yuan Shu." Liu Biao frowned.

"You yourself are not much better!" Kuai Liang slandered, and said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord! As long as Tao Qian still wants to protect Xuzhou's foundation, he will definitely form an alliance with the lord."

Liu Biao hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will leave this matter to Zirou. Make sure to persuade Tao Qian to join us to fight against Yuan Shu."

Kuai Liang showed a gratified smile, although Liu Biao was indeed a 'rabbit' eating grass beside the nest, but a man died for his confidant, Kuai Liang had decided to assist Liu Biao all his life.
