    In the Daming Palace, in the obviously dilapidated Hanyuan Hall, the Zhou emperor sat on a dragon chair. After accepting the worship of the civil and military nobles, he proclaimed the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty as the Dayu Empire, the reign name of Taiping Xingguo, and the capital of Chang'an City.  King Yu Lu Tianfeng supervised the country.  The next day, Emperor Dayu, at the request of King Yu Lu Tianfeng, designated Kaifeng Prefecture as the upper capital, Chizhou as the middle capital, Taiyuan as the lower capital, Wuxian County in Suzhou as the eastern capital, Changlefu in Fuzhou as the southern capital, Youzhou as the northern capital, and Zhangye in Ganzhou.  For the Western Capital. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There are four levels of administration including prefecture, prefecture, county, and township. The township officials and elders are the ninth-grade official rank, the auxiliary officers are the ninth-grade official rank, Wu is the patrol inspector, and Wen is the pavilion chief, all of whom are recognized or dismissed by the imperial court.  The palace level is divided into the royal palace and the national palace. The royal palace is directly under the jurisdiction of the inner court of the capital. The national palace is under the jurisdiction of the companion capital and the outer court of the capital. All the output from the royal palace is royal tribute, and all the output from the national palace is national tax.  Each capital has an inner court and an outer hall. The outer hall is in charge of the six ministries of the capital. The inner court is in charge of supervision and judgment of ordinary military affairs. The chief official of the outer hall of the capital is called the envoy. The appointment is rotated by ministers with the qualifications of the political affairs hall. The inner court of the capital  The person in charge is appointed by the inner court of the capital and is called Fu Zai, the chief official of a local palace is called Fu Xiang, and the chief official of a local government is called Fu Yin.  Lu Qi roughly followed the Tang Dynasty's Fifteen Roads administrative governance, and established prefecture-level administration under the jurisdiction of the capital and the capital. Kaifeng Prefecture was called Shangdu, and basically governed Henan Road and Huainan Road during the Tang Dynasty. Lu Qi did not set up any establishment in Kaifeng Prefecture.  The establishment of the inner court only demarcated those prefectures and states that belonged to the imperial court of Kaifeng Prefecture, and also clearly told the Zhou emperor and ministers that in the future, Kaifeng Prefecture would be the title of the Zhou Emperor, and it would be both the capital and the royal palace.  However, Lu Qi also clarified the authority of the king. The king can have 500 guards and 5,000 guards. However, the guards of the king are under the management of the inner court. The appointment, dismissal and supplies of the guards are all the responsibility of the inner court.  The army only obeyed the military orders of the inner court and protected the king within the scope of their duties, but the Yi guards were privately recruited and provided by the king.  Five days after announcing the establishment of the Dayu Empire, Emperor Dayu left Chang'an City and returned to Kaifeng Mansion, still escorted by 50,000 imperial troops. After the emperor returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he first sent a decree to confer Han Tong as the Duke of Chengguo and hold office.  In front of the palace, Marquis Yu led eight thousand soldiers to guard the palace and the inner city gates. Afterwards, he sent an order to the military generals of Kaifeng Prefecture to submit a letter to the Supervisory State to report their duties, and they were assigned to the Supervisory State for transfer orders.  After Lu Qi received the letter from Kaifeng Prefecture and the emperor's edict, he recognized Han Tong as the Duke of Chengguo. The Duke and the prince could have 300 Yi guards and 3,000 guards, plus the 5,000 king guards guarding the palace of Kaifeng Prefecture.  , Lu Qi recognized Han Tong to guard the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, and he transferred all the military forces in the outer city. He transferred 30,000 troops from the pass to guard Kaifeng Prefecture. In terms of the control of military power, Lu Qi could not give in too much.  .  The emperor voluntarily handed over the military power of Kaifeng Mansion, which was only part of Lu Qi's state affairs. During the transition period, he could only allow the existence of the Zhou Dynasty court.  There is no need to openly change the title of the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture.  Not long after the emperor left Chang'an City, that is, before he returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Qi's decree had already spread to all territories of the Dayu Empire. He first informed the whole country of the system and new policies and let the officials and people of the Dayu Empire know about it.  Lu Qi's court system was basically similar to that of the Zhou Dynasty, with the political hall and the privy council, but with the addition of an inner court. The inner court had the envoys of the central government and the nine ministers to manage the military affairs of the princes in the world, and they were responsible for supervising local areas and directing ordinary military affairs.  The first one is the envoy of the central government, and the other ministers are mostly ministers of the Nine Temples. For example, Qing Taichang and Qing Wei are the ministers of the inner court.  The establishment of the inner court is actually a family world. Each royal palace has five thousand guards. Generals and government officials are appointed by the inner court. The prime minister of the royal palace can be a woman, eunuch and civil servant.  The taxes became imperial tribute. Lu Qi's approach greatly increased the authority of the Nine Temple Ministers. The intention was to divide local power and limit the royal family's financial resources to a certain range, instead of monopolizing salt, iron or other profitable businesses.  Of course, the biggest role of the inner court is to directly control part of the military power and supervise local areas, but it does not replace the authority of the Yushitai. It should be said that the Yushitai is the emperor's left eyes and ears, and the inner court is the emperor's right eyes and ears.  Along with the system of governing the country, there was also an announcement about the opening of colleges and universities to recruit talents. Lu Qi customized the conditions for opening colleges and universities to recruit talents, and started the imperial examination in addition to civil and military candidates.  Anyone who plays music can participate in the Tiangong Imperial Examination. For example, those who burn porcelain can bring their works to participate in the Tiangong Imperial Examination if they can produce the best quality. If they pass the examination, they will be qualified as a Tiangong Gongsheng.  For the liberal arts examination and the martial arts examination, Lu Qi also made different conditions than in the past. Those who participated in the liberal arts examination were required to take poetry, poetry, poetry, and poetry, and knowledge of farming, mulberry, animal husbandry, and fishery were also compulsory. They also had to be able to manage accounts.  It will be a test article. If you don¡¯t know the first one, you don¡¯t need to write the next beautiful article.  As for the martial arts examination, Lu Qi stipulated that only soldiers under the age of thirty and with more than two years of experience in the army can participate in the martial arts examination.The examination admits thousands of people every year, and the top five will be selected as palace candidates. The first place with the best military skills will be awarded the rank of swordsman and general. The second place with the best military skills will be awarded the luminous cup.  and fine wine, the third best person who has the best archery skills will be given a treasure bow and the title of beauty, the second place and the third best person will be awarded the rank of fifth grade school captain.  The fourth and fifth palace knights, who have the best overall results, will be awarded the title of Baozhu and Meiren, and the rank of seventh-grade school captain. Except for the number one scholar in martial arts, who will be awarded the sword, the other 999 candidates will be awarded.  , all were given a Thousand Ox Sword, and obtained an armed official status. All other gifts and expenses were handled by the inner court. The three major imperial examinations were jointly organized and supervised by the inner court and the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War.  Four hundred Jinshi will be admitted to the liberal arts examination, and there will be no quota for the tribute scholars to be admitted to the engineering examination. The awards have not yet been determined. All talented people who want to participate in the three types of imperial examinations can take the preliminary examination at the nearest prince's palace or capital. In the past, the scholars and scholars of the Zhou and Jin Dynasties  The Dayu Empire will recognize the promotion of people, but if you want to seek official qualifications, you need to take an assessment.  After issuing the announcement on the system and recruiting talents, Lu Qi issued a basic tax system and announced the implementation of a two-tax system implemented during the Tang Dynasty, that is, there were no other taxes except household tax and local tax. According to the household registration and land tax,  Taxation is based on valuation. The characteristic of the two-tax system is that rich households will pay more taxes and poor households will pay less taxes. This can allow refugees and poor people to settle down as soon as possible. Commercial tax is not a basic tax.  The two-tax system is a tax law that has been implemented in the Jin Dynasty for a long time. The disadvantage of the two-tax system is that it is easy for fertile land to be underestimated and underreported. However, under the high pressure of serious crimes, local landlords and officials are rarely willing to lose big for small things. Officials will be transferred.  After the landlord paid a bribe, he could not guarantee that his own land would continue to be profitable. The stolen profits were not enough to give to the officials. The welfare of Jin officials was very high, so few were willing to cause trouble for the landlord's underestimation of the land.  If you want to get benefits, you can only get some benefits from litigation.  After Emperor Zhou left, Lu Qi remained on the board of directors of Prince Yu's Mansion. First, he could not appear impatient in public. Second, the three major palaces in Chang'an City were very dilapidated and there were not many people around him. If he moved into the Ming Dynasty  The palace will be really deserted.  However, Lu Qi soon experienced the trouble of governing. Documents from all over the country gathered in, making him busy. The main reason was that when Emperor Zhou returned, Prince Ji and the court officials also went back with him, and it was difficult for him to leave a message.  However, Jin's courtiers couldn't handle it for a while, and he couldn't just find someone to do it for him. Xiao Zhili was also busy in Hezhou.  Fortunately, Xin Yun'er and the others helped with the classification, which made Lu Qi's processing much faster. After seven or eight days of busy work, there were obviously fewer documents from the local area. Lu Qi was relieved, but he wanted to visit Xiaofu in Hanzhong. Now it's raining outside.  It was snowing, and Xiaofu was already pregnant with Liujia, so he never came to Chang'an City.  However, when going to Hanzhong, he could only think about it. Lu Qi could not leave Chang'an City at all. He could only hope that his relatives and trusted subordinates would come over. It would be best if Xin Qin'er could come to Chang'an City, but the governance of Jiangnan cannot be ignored.  .  On this day, Zhang Ji and Wu Hai arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion at the same time. Lu Qi was naturally happy to see help coming. However, Zhang Ji told Lu Qi that many officials from Kaifeng Mansion had followed the emperor's order and were about to arrive at Chang'an City.  However, King Ji stayed in Kaifeng Mansion and was said to be unwilling to leave the emperor.  Lu Qi was slightly sentimental after hearing this. In order to prevent the emperor from feeling disappointed, he did not propose to keep the courtiers. Of course, those courtiers could not act like snobs, so no one confessed to Lu Qi openly or secretly.  After more than a hundred courtiers arrived in Chang'an City, Lu Qi had to move to the Daming Palace to take charge. The Political Affairs Hall and Privy Council, coupled with their respective operations, Chang'an City officially became the highest power center of the Dayu Empire.
