    Jiang Ning came to the palace. After the soldiers went to report, Jiang Ning entered the hall, stood still and saluted: "Jiang Ning pays homage to King Qi."

    "sit!"

    Wang Qi gave an order.

    After Jiang Ning thanked him, he sat down, straightened his slightly messy robes, and took the initiative: "King Qi, all the major families have admitted the many crimes committed by the Yangzhou family. In view of this, all the major families are willing to compensate.  , at the same time, give half of the land of each family to the King of Qi to atone for his sins. All the land information is in the book. All the land deeds are temporarily outside the palace."

    He took out the book from his sleeve.

    In the book, there is the statistical land situation. He holds it with both hands and is extremely respectful.

    Xia Houhu took it and put it in Wang Qi's hand.  Wang Qi did a rough scan and knew the general situation.  Wang Qi has already reviewed the current land situation of Chen State.  The royal family of Chen State, the land formerly controlled by Yuan Wei, accounted for 30% of Chen State.  The aristocratic families in Yangzhou accounted for nearly 60%.

    Only 10% of the land is left, which is scattered and scattered.

    Now that Jiang Ning and other major families have handed over their land, the land that belongs to the government can account for almost 60%, and Wang Qicai occupies the majority of the land.

    This is fundamental. Even in Wang Qi¡¯s view, this is actually far from enough. It is necessary to further strengthen the land controlled by the government.  However, with so much land, it is enough to operate in Yangzhou.

    As for the future, more land will be slowly recovered.

    This is Wang Qi¡¯s purpose.

    Why are you beating the aristocratic family? It¡¯s because of the land.

    With land, there is food.  Only when the people have enough food and clothing can they have a foundation for other development.  If even the most basic food and clothing cannot be provided, it is simply impossible to stabilize the place.  Even if you want to develop other things, it is difficult to do so.

    Wang Qi was thinking that with half of the land owned by each big family, the influence of the big families would be weakened.  Although the major families are still influential, in fact, their influence on the land will eventually become weaker and weaker.

    Gradually, the people will be able to get rid of the aristocratic families.  Of course, it is temporarily impossible to break down class barriers based on land alone.  Even if you can have enough food and clothing, you still have to study to break down class barriers.

    This can only be achieved by taking the imperial examination.

    Wang Qi¡¯s establishment of Qi State is not yet solid enough, so he will not advance this matter for the time being.

    When the foundation is solid, it is time to establish the imperial examination.

    Wang Qi put the book down and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Jiang, it is completely unnecessary for the major families to atone for their sins. They have done it before, but they also have meritorious deeds. I will regard the land donated as their own to help the people."  .¡±

    Jiang Ning said: "I will obey the king's order."

    Wang Qi continued: "When it comes to the adjustment of the entire officialdom, it must be carried out one by one. Mr. Jiang has a strategy for governing the country and is familiar with the government affairs of Yangzhou. I worship Mr. Jiang as the pastor of Yangzhou and govern the government affairs of Yangzhou. As soon as he responds to government affairs, he will be responsible for the affairs of Yangzhou.  Mr. Jiang arranged it.¡±

    "I would like to express my gratitude to the king for your kindness."

    Jiang Ning's breathing became rapid.

    This is a giant.

    It is his opportunity to govern Yangzhou. As long as he does a good job in this term, he can enter the center of Qi in the next step and serve as the Minister of the First Department. As the second-in-command of the First Department, there is absolutely no problem.  It would even be possible if Wang Qi cultivated him and asked him to perform the duties of a minister.

    The most important thing is that Qi State has a bright future.  When Qi conquered the world and replaced Zhou, he would be the founding hero.

    This is Jiang Ning¡¯s ambition.

    Jiang Ning felt a little agitated in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I am in charge of Yangzhou, which involves the adjustment of all the officials in Yangzhou, as well as the officials in various counties?"

    Wang Qidao: "You can adjust the local county officials and the affairs of Wu County. I am just responding to the governors of Kuaiji County and Danyang County in Qi State. Their official positions remain unchanged. You can send a letter to them to return to their respective places. There is no need to return."  Rush to Wu County. After all, Wu County has been captured and there is no need for them to send troops."

    "yes!"

    Jiang Ning nodded.

    Wang Qi continued: "When it comes to officials from various ministries of Chen State, you can make adjustments directly. In addition, you can also make arrangements for those who need to be transferred to the center of Qi State as officials."

    Jiang Ning said: "I obey!"

    Wang Qi continued: "You are in charge of Yangzhou. Land is the foundation of Qi State, and it is an unshakable red line. The land controlled by the government can only increase, not decrease. Moreover, the government's land is not allowed to be bought and sold, and can only be distributed to the people.  plowSeeds must be taken back once a person dies.  The rest is up to you. I hope that under your governance, Yangzhou will reach a higher level.  "

    Jiang Ning was very excited and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will restore the prosperity of Yangzhou in the shortest possible time so that the people can live a stable life."

    Wang Qidao: "Go and adjust."

    "yes!"

    Jiang Ning bowed and bowed, then left happily. He made the right bet. Although he paid a lot, his gains were even greater.

    Wang Qi looked at Jiang Ning¡¯s leaving figure with a calm expression. Wang Qi had carefully considered letting Jiang Ning take charge of Yangzhou. After all, Jiang Ning was more familiar with Yangzhou than Gu Kang, and Jiang Ning was influential locally.

    This is the most appropriate arrangement.

    After Jiang Ning stabilizes Yangzhou and everything is on the right track, he will adjust Jiang Ning's official position and transfer Jiang Ning to the court as an official. Then the adjustment of Yangzhou can go further.

    After Jiang Ning left, Wang Qi arranged for someone to call Yan Chixing.

    Yan Chixing entered the main hall, cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness!"

    Wang Qi nodded and said: "Yan Chixing, I am asking you to come now because I am going to let you lead the army and sit in Yangzhou and be responsible for the stability of the entire Yangzhou."

    Wang Qi¡¯s local strategy was to separate military and political affairs.

    Jiang Ning is in charge of government affairs.

    Yan Chixing is in charge of military affairs.

    If these two lines are advanced separately, there will be no problems with Yangzhou's stability.

    Yan Chixing frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, I would rather accompany you on your expeditions to the east and west. Staying in Yangzhou is really boring."

    Wang Qidao: "Guarding Yangzhou is boring, but it is extremely important. In Yangzhou today, Jiang Ning serves as the state pastor, and the other county officials are mainly related to Jiang Ning. There will be no adjustments for the time being. We will make adjustments little by little in the next step.  . When the time comes, the guarding of Yangzhou can be left to others. But now we cannot be careless, do you understand?"

    Yan Chixing said: "The general will finally understand."

    Wang Qidao: "Since you understand, stay and guard. In addition, as for the army, the number can be expanded again to about 30,000 people. However, the training of the army cannot be delayed and must keep up."

    Hearing Wang Qi's words, Yan Chixing knew that the overall situation had been decided and there would be no change. He nodded and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the general will definitely live up to his high expectations and will definitely expand the army and adjust everything."

    After a pause, Yan Chixing said: "When it comes to military issues, should the military strength of each county be taken back? Today, each county has its own army, or should we allow the local government to control the army?"

    Wang Qi flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "The power of each county will naturally be gradually withdrawn, and the local government cannot be allowed to grow. On this point, you and Jiang Ning will coordinate with each other and arrange it step by step. The local government can be allowed to have government officials and have a certain amount of power to maintain them.  Public security must be stable within a certain range. If you raise private soldiers and form an army without authorization, you should deal with it."

    Yan Chixing said: "General, I finally understand."

    Wang Qi said: "Go and get busy."

    "yes!"

    Yan Chixing nodded and turned around to arrange things.

    Wang Qi was sitting in the main hall, thinking about the arrangements for Gu Kang.  After Jiang Ning became the Yangzhou Shepherd, he had a conflict with Gu Kang's Yangzhou Shepherd, so he had to adjust Gu Kang, otherwise there would be a conflict.

    After Wang Qi thought for a while, he quickly wrote two letters.  The first one was sent back to Zhu Shanchang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, telling Zhu Shanchang about Gu Kang's arrangements, and transferring Gu Kang to the court as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhu Shanchang was asked to prepare the arrangements.

    The second is a letter to Gu Kang, telling Gu Kang to step down from the post of Yangzhou Shepherd and go directly to Linzi to take up the post of Minister of Civil Affairs to assist Zhu Shanchang in handling the affairs of the DPRK.

    Wang Qi finished writing the two letters and called the soldiers to send them away quickly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
