Capítulo 969: Chapter 685: New Dynasty System
Yang Zhenshan smiled and said, “Since it cannot be avoided, then lift the restrictions. The division of Da Rong’s border towns is not because Innate Martial Artists hold these towns, but because the court is not strong enough and lacks strict enforcent of term limits!”
“From now on, the main officials of the border towns must strictly enforce term limits, with a maximum of nine years for governors and generals!”
Yang Chengye nodded, understanding Yang Zhenshan’s intention.
Yang Zhenshan patted his shoulder, “The chaos in the system is not necessarily due to the system itself but may also result from a lack of execution!”
“Like the Martial Arts Temple and the Imperial Comrce Bureau, there were no issues when they were initially established, but as ti passed, so began to undermine the system, look for loopholes, and even use the system for personal gain!”
“So for the court, sotis execution is more important than a perfect system!”
“And then there’s the issue of governance; sharpen the knife without any hesitation, and execute those corrupt officials deserving of death.”
“The harsher you are now, the brighter the governance of the new dynasty can be for decades!”
As for Yang Zhenshan’s temperant, when he could use a gun, he wouldn’t waste ti talking.
Da Rong fell because, at its core, its governance was rotten.
Subsequently, Yang Zhenshan talked a lot with Yang Chengye. With so much chaos currently, Yang Chengye found it sowhat overwhelming on his own, so Yang Zhenshan naturally helped him sort through these chaotic matters.
At the sa ti, Yang Zhenshan also wanted to offer Yang Chengye so constructive suggestions.
The grandfather and grandson talked for more than two hours, even during lunchti they did not stop.
Finally, Yang Zhenshan said, “Don’t rush other matters for now; the imdiate priority is you should ascend the throne!”
“Ascend the throne?” Yang Chengye was startled, “Grandson truly becos an Emperor!”
“Yes, it can’t be delayed any longer. Establishing a dynasty, rewarding officials, first gives everyone a reassurance to prevent unrest,” Yang Zhenshan said.
Their expansion was so rapid that many hadn’t caught up to it yet.
Ascending the throne isn’t for the sake of that ultimate seat but to stabilize the people and distribute interests.
Yang Chengye was stunned for a mont before asking, “Then what should the state na be?”
Yang Zhenshan indeed hadn’t considered this question, “How about Da’an?”
“Grandfather, I want Dajing!” Yang Chengye looked at Yang Zhenshan eagerly.
Yang Zhenshan was sowhat speechless, “Dajing has already been taken by Chengyou!”
The title Marquis Jing’an held significant aning for the Yang family, though it originally ca from Jing’an Prefecture, symbolizing the rise of the Yang family.
Dajing indeed sounds better, but since Yang Chengyou had already established the Dajing Dynasty, they couldn’t ask him to change the state na.
“But Da’an sounds a bit clumsy!” Yang Chengye said.
Yang Zhenshan said calmly, “Da’an ans great peace, what’s bad about it? Just call it the Da’an Dynasty!”
Yang Chengye couldn’t refute, so he could only ask, “Then what about the era na?”
“Decide for yourself!” Yang Zhenshan didn’t want to expend any more ntal effort on this and threw it back to Yang Chengye.
“Choose an auspicious day for the ascension, but before that, finalize various systems. Let’s do this; first release the news to reassure everyone, then discuss the issues of various systems!”
With that, Yang Zhenshan got up and left the Imperial Study Room.
As Yang Zhenshan left, the news that Yang Chengye was about to ascend the throne quickly spread throughout the Capital City.
As Yang Zhenshan said, this news reassured many people.
After returning, Yang Zhenshan imdiately drafted a frawork for establishing the institutions of the Da’an Court according to his ideas.
Overall, it was drafted according to the governnt offices of Da Rong’s court, but Yang Zhenshan made many changes on its basis.
Firstly, a Comrce Departnt was added, with the Imperial Comrce Bureau renad to the Comrce Departnt, on the sa level as the Six Ministries, under which are the Imperial Comrce Bureau, Comrce Departnt, Market Shipping Departnt, Salt Transport Departnt, and other departnts, directly managed by the Cabinet, mainly responsible for trade activities inside and outside the dynasty, drafting trade developnts inside and outside the dynasty, managing tribute trade, border markets, etc.
Secondly, a Military Departnt was added, renaming the Martial Arts Temple to the Military Departnt, on the sa level as the Six Ministries, with subdivisions such as the Martial Arts Departnt, Martial Arts Pavilion, Sect Departnt, and Offering Institute.
The Martial Arts Departnt is responsible for combating martial artist cris, the Martial Arts Pavilion for training young martial artists, the Sect Departnt for managing worldly powers, and the Offering Institute for managing Innate Martial Artists.
Yang Zhenshan set strict regulations for the Military Departnt. Whether sects or Innate Martial Artists, they must strictly adhere to the Military Departnt’s rules.
Previously, Da Rong didn’t have much restraint over Innate Martial Artists, and Yang Zhenshan believed this needed to change.
The court could grant Innate Martial Artists prestigious positions and generous salaries, but they had to serve the court.
Bringing the Yang family’s cultivation salary into the new dynasty would be inappropriate, but the new dynasty could still establish an appropriate cultivation salary for Innate Martial Artists.
And once they received the court’s cultivation salary, the Innate Martial Artists would have to serve the court.
Besides the Comrce Departnt and Military Departnt, Yang Zhenshan also made andnts to the garrison system, abolishing the military household system and implenting a recruitnt system.
The recruitnt system, which can also be called a volunteer military system, involves allowing civilians to voluntarily join the army.
To implent this volunteer military system, the treatnt of soldiers must be improved, otherwise, ordinary civilians would be unwilling to join the army.
Simply put, it involves enticing civilians to voluntarily enlist through benefits.
First, the treatnt of soldiers must be improved, then the pension treatnt of soldiers, and afterwards the settlent treatnt for soldiers after discharge.
