    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1318

    Chen Ziang appointed the heads of various departments in the central government of the imperial court, and at the same time carried out a large-scale exchange of the chief officers of the various legions.

    Now everyone has just been canonized and is in high spirits, and most of the exchanges are at the same level. Even Wang Mingyang and Dong Hao have been promoted.

    Among them, Dong Hao's promotion speed is the fastest. He is a graduated officer of the first phase of the War College, and he has rich military theory and actual combat experience.

    Moreover, when Dong Hao and others were selected for further studies at the Zhanzheng Academy, they also selected relatively young young officers when they were selected.

    Chen Ziang also serves as the dean of the Zhanzheng Academy. It can be said that Dong Hao and other military officers who graduated from the Zhanzheng Academy can be regarded as Chen Ziang's students.

    With this level of relationship, coupled with the excellent performance of Dong Hao and others on the battlefield, the rate of promotion is much faster than that of ordinary officers.

    When Zhou Ba, Li Lang and others had led the army to fight, Dong Hao and others were still unknown grassroots officers.

    Now Dong Hao and others have grown up and become important generals in charge of an army, on an equal footing with Li Lang and others.

    ? In addition to Chen Ziang's consideration of training young officers from the young army to prevent a command gap in the army, he also hoped to use the strength of the new young officers from the army to check and balance those top meritorious generals.

    With the adjustment of the chief officers of the central departments and legions of the imperial court, Chen Zi'ang, with the assistance of Qin An, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, began to appoint the heads of the provinces.

    Hundreds of years ago, there were more than 30 provinces in the Far East, covering a variety of terrains such as mountains, grasslands, plains, and hills.

    However, when the former dynasty first seized power, it forcibly ceded some provinces to neighboring countries as an exchange of interests.

    At the same time, with the decay of the middle and late stages of the former dynasty, several provinces in the west and northwest regions also separated out on their own, and were annexed by the desert empire.

    Now the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang overthrew the dark and decadent rule of the previous dynasty, and gained control of various provinces.

    But now the empire can only control the land of 24 provinces, of which Annan province is only controlled in name.

    It is not an easy task to restore order and people's livelihood in more than 20 provinces in a short period of time.

    Therefore, Chen Zi'ang's settings for each province are also separate from the military and the government. In each province, in addition to setting up a third-rank chief of public security to govern the military forces within the territory, a third-rank chief of government affairs is also set up to oversee government affairs.

    Now Qinghe Army Yunxi Academy and the talents of the original government administrations, almost all capable people have been appointed as third-rank officials. From third-rank or fourth-rank officials, they have become the governors of provinces, prefectures and counties in charge of the ruling party.

    And the generals of the original rebel army, after all, had also helped the Qinghe army contain many enemies when they were in the rebel army alliance.

    Later, most of them were reorganized into the field troops of the Qinghe Army, but their general Chen Ziang also arranged for them.

    People such as Niu Yao, Wei Qing, etc. were appointed as the military security chiefs of the provinces, responsible for the security order of a province.

    Of course, they still have to obey the orders of Li Changqing, the head of the security army, and belong to Li Changqing's direct command.

    Chen Ziang used to be only in charge of military affairs, leaving all government affairs to Qin An and others.

    Although Chen Zi'ang has left most of the affairs out, he still has to check the appointment of high-ranking officials such as first-rank, second-rank, and third-rank.

    Especially for those civil servants and generals who are about to leave the imperial capital to take up their posts, Chen Zi'ang will also summon them separately to teach them how to do it face to face.

    So Chen Ziang suddenly discovered that, not to mention the overwhelming heights, he was too busy all day long.

    However, as the emperor of the empire, he is now waiting for a lot of waste. Although he is a little tired, he can only complain in his heart, and it is difficult to say it out.

    "The current main task of the Ministry of Industry is to build two imperial highways, centered on the imperial capital, to the eastern province in the east, to the western province in the west, to the Daling province in the north, and to the Jiangnan province in the south."

    When summoning Song Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Ziang also put forward his own idea, which is to concentrate his efforts and build two imperial highways that traverse north, south, east and west, as main arteries.

    The purpose of Chen Zi'ang's construction of these two north-south arteries is also very simple, that is to strengthen the imperial capital's control over the border areas.

    With a wide and flat road, the army, food and grass can be quickly dispatched.Instead of the current situation, Nanchuan and Beichuan provinces have counterattacked by the remnants of the previous dynasty. Even if it is eight hundred miles to rush, it will take a long time to pass it over.

    Because of the impassable roads and backward communication, the empire's control over many border areas is weak. Once something happens, there is very little time for the empire to react.

    That's why Chen Zi'ang didn't station all the troops on the front line when he was stationed in various legions this time.

    Instead, the Guards Corps, the Fourth Field Army, and the Eighth Field Army were stationed in Hezhong, Jiangbei and other areas.

    Because if all of them are placed in the border area, once the enemy breaks through the border area, it will be a long drive.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang's echelon deployment of troops, even if the border area is successfully attacked by the enemy, then the second echelon can quickly organize defenses.  Buy time for the Empire's response.

    Once the imperial highway running through the north and south is completed, it will be convenient for the central government of the empire to dispatch troops to reinforce the border areas.

    And if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The accessibility of roads is also a great thing for trade.

    "Your Majesty, it is estimated that such a huge project will require a lot of manpower and material resources. Now that the empire has just been established, a lot of waste is waiting to be done. Can you delay it for a while?"

    When Song Zhi heard that Chen Ziang asked his Ministry of Industry to build an imperial road running through the north and south, considering the overall situation, he also felt that it was too hasty.

    In the past, the empire completed tasks such as the imperial capital and surrounding roads, irrigation canals, and land reclamation through the method of work-for-relief.

    But at that time, wars were everywhere, and there were countless refugees for them to use, and they only needed to pay a little for food, and the price was low.

    But now that the empire is stabilizing, the people are returning to their hometowns one after another, and there is a huge gap in manpower alone.

    "Although it will consume huge manpower and material resources, it is also beneficial and harmless to the development of the empire. The empire will fully support money and food."

    "As for the shortage of manpower, I will inform the legions, especially Li Changqing, that all captured prisoners will be sent to you as coolies."

    Seeing that Chen Ziang insisted on building an imperial road running through the north and south, Song Zhi could only bite the bullet and agree.

    "The task of the Ministry of Households is to count the population of the empire, re-measure the acres of the empire, redistribute the land, and organize people to sort out the irrigation canals. Everything must be completed before the beginning of spring."

    "The mission of the Ministry of Commerce is to resume trade with various countries as soon as possible, resume commercial activities within the empire, and determine tax rules and implement them, so that trade tax will become the main source of income for the empire as soon as possible."

    "The task of the Ministry of Punishment is to refer to the laws of various countries and formulate a law belonging to the empire, which will serve as the standard for judging cases in all provinces and counties."

    "The task of the Ministry of War is to strengthen the management of the army's reserve resources. All healthy men between the ages of 15 and 40 must organize intensive military training during the slack season."

    "At the same time, the Ministry of Rites will also set up military courses in newly established schools in various prefectures and counties, and all students will undergo semi-military training." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
