In no time, the entire city was in an uproar.
Many people were skeptical when they heard the shouts.
But seeing the hot air balloons flying in the sky dispelled all doubts.
Many people immediately knelt down on the spot.
Some daring people also ran towards the hot air balloon.
News of the Liang King's personal guards' safe and sound jump from the nearly twenty-zhang-high iron tower had spread throughout the city.
Although there are many amazing legends about King Liang,
However, many people who haven't seen it are still skeptical.
These were Liang King's personal guards who jumped off the tower.
This made the people in the city somewhat believe it.
If it were someone else...
Those who haven't seen it would definitely think that people who say such things are crazy.
However, hot air balloons can now be seen flying all over the city.
No one doubted the story of jumping off the tower anymore.
Flying is possible.
Jumping off the tower isn't difficult.
Hou Jian boasted for a while,
Then he remembered that his destination was the palace.
Although the general direction is correct.
However, there are still some minor deviations.
Therefore, Hou Jian hurriedly began to study the wind direction at various altitudes.
At a height of several dozen feet in the air
Then you can clearly see the location of the palace in the distance.
Therefore, it was easier for Hou Jian to choose the wind direction.
After flying up and down in the air for a while,
They found a suitable height.
It flew towards the palace.
By this time, the Xuande Tower was already filled with onlookers.
Zhao Yuan, dressed in a dragon robe, stood in the very center.
On both sides were officials from various departments who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival,
Zhao Yuan has already dismissed the prime minister.
Six ministers were appointed.
The functions of the six ministries were also divided.
Wen Huanzhang, Minister of Personnel
Zhao Mingcheng, Minister of Rites
Minister of Revenue Jiang Jing
Zhu Wu, Minister of Works
Pei Xuan, Minister of Justice
Zhang Shuye was appointed as the Vice Censor-in-Chief.
Xu Guanzhong will temporarily serve as the Minister of War.
The Six Ministries and the Censorate of the Great Liang Dynasty were parallel departments.
The six ministers and the vice censor-in-chief were both second-rank officials.
Pei Xuan was originally the head of law enforcement at Liangshan.
It was only natural that Pei Xuan was appointed Minister of Justice.
Zhu Wu's appointment as Minister of Works was a surprise to many.
Although Zhu Wu was a fake Taoist priest,
But after being a monk for a long time...
He did have some thoughts on it.
He wanted to resign from his official post and become a true Taoist priest.
This time, he will serve as the Minister of Works.
The main reason was the timber supply on Liangshan Mountain.
Previously, most of them did not have high status.
For example, Tao Zongwang the Nine-Tailed Turtle, and Du Qian the Sky-Touching Monster, etc.
They need someone to help them maintain appearances.
The Great Liang Dynasty was founded in Qingzhou.
Because there weren't enough capable civil officials in the court.
Zhao Yuan adhered to the principle of "better to have none than to have something of poor quality."
Not many officials were appointed.
Before they could properly define the few civil servant positions available in Liangshan,
Zhao Yuan then led his troops to conquer Tokyo.
Upon arriving in Tokyo,
They also won over many civil officials.
Only then did Zhao Yuan begin to organize the various departments of the imperial court.
Chapter 1744 Pei Xuan
However, the Great Liang Dynasty continuously waged war against external forces.
Domestically, they were busy with disaster relief.
Many departments directly use the system from the Song Dynasty.
Not only did the government office remain unchanged,
Many of the people inside haven't changed.
The biggest change was in the Ministry of Revenue.
The Six Ministries of the Song Dynasty existed in name only.
All their power was taken away by the Secretariat, the Privy Council, and the Three Departments.
The Three Offices were the second-highest level of government after the Secretariat and the Privy Council.
In charge of the nation's finances.
The Ministry of Revenue was a department under the Three Offices.
The chief official of the Three Departments was also known as the Accounting Minister.
He was in charge of the nation's finances and food supplies.
An army marches on its stomach.
Food supplies are arguably the lifeblood of an army.
Zhao Yuan would naturally not risk his life.
It was handed over to the Three Departments, which had become utterly corrupt under Emperor Huizong's rule.
Therefore, Jiang Jing was allowed to reorganize the Ministry of Revenue.
The functions of the original three departments were all transferred to the Ministry of Revenue.
And to avoid interference from others,
When the Ministry of Revenue began operating, it did not require the prime minister's approval.
Only responsible to Zhao Yuan,
Zhao Yuan would naturally not put himself in danger.
All financial and logistical needs were prioritized for the frontline troops.
Pei Xuan had previously served as the Prefect of Kaifeng.
Kaifeng has a population of over one million.
It's the capital of Liang again.
The stability of Kaifeng is also related to the stability of the entire nation.
Zhao Yuan would naturally not give this official position to an official who had just surrendered.
Therefore, Pei Xuan was chosen.
However, the rank of the Prefect of Kaifeng was lower than that of the Vice Chancellor.
It is also lower than that of the six ministers.
All along,
Everyone felt that Pei Xuan's status in Liangshan was not high.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan elevated Pei Xuan to the same level as Xu Guanzhong this time.
Although the Ministry of Personnel, which was under Xu Guanzhong's control, was more important.
The position of Prefect of Kaifeng was taken over by Shi Wenbin.
Shi Wenbin was originally just the magistrate of Yuncheng County.
However, because he was an honest and upright official...
Although he was not executed
However, he was captured by Zhao Yuan and taken to the mountain.
Managing several villages on the back of Liangshan Mountain,
It's fair to say that this is a waste of talent.
However, after the establishment of the Great Liang in Qingzhou...
Shi Wenbin immediately had a chance to use his skills.
He was promoted to prefect.
Shi Wenbin did not disappoint Zhao Yuan.
Although this was his first time governing a province,
But it was also well-managed.
Of course, this is related to the exemption of agricultural taxes in Daliang.
In addition, Liangshan was renowned in Jingdong.
The severe criminal law also deterred many people.
This is related to the reduction of political affairs.
However, Shi Wenbin's achievements in governance cannot be denied.
