Chapter 413 (1/2)
It has been nearly a year since that day, and there has been no great unrest in the whole Datang center due to Wei Ran's leadership.
On the contrary, after Wei Ran became prime minister, the administration of officials took on a new look.
After he took office, in terms of military defense, because there was no worry in the rear, the real security threat was the Huangchao army who entered Henan Province, and even many Jiedu envoys were no longer the main enemy.
Therefore, Wei Ran sent elites to control Xingyang and wulaoguan and guard the gate of Luoyang, the capital of God. Then there are several paths and waterways controlling Tongguan, the gateway of Guanzhong pass, and the ancient caihan road.
Militarily, Wei Ran knew that the actual control area in his hands was equivalent to strengthening the Qin Dynasty. He sat in Hanzhong, Bashu and guarded Guanzhong. With Luoyang as the gateway, there were more than ten prefectures in Longyou behind, all of which were rich places on the silk road.
So as long as we stabilize the basic market, the world will not turn over. Therefore, after arranging military defense, he began to reform politics. Among the military power stratagems learned from Li Chengye, there is also a theory of Yang stratagem. If you want the military to win, you should win before the government. Politics is the fundamental guarantee of military strength.
Therefore, Wei Ran began to govern in an orderly way.
First of all, the public security of Chang'an city was greatly improved and the right Shence army was abolished. The arrogant and domineering people in the army were led by the public.
The market gangs, Jianghu forces and Guanzhong sects, which are inextricably related to the right Shence army, have been uprooted. Under the elite of Fenglin army, the so-called Jianghu can only tremble under their hooves.
This makes the people and good businessmen in Chang'an City applaud, and the people's hearts are more attached to the Fenglin army.
Then update the petty officials in Gyeonggi province from top to bottom, eliminate evil officials, and replace the retired veterans of shangfenglin army. After their retirement, these veterans have received literacy education in the army and have a fanatical worship of Wei Ran and Li family. Therefore, they basically use the executive power in the army to help Fenglin Army control rural areas.
For those who dared to resist in the countryside, Wei Ran had already arranged 5000 rangers to act flexibly at any time to deter the local landlords and gentry.
The proper arrangement of petty officials meant that they had the most basic control over the grass-roots level. Then they sent the Longyou department, the assistant of the Li family's staff, to measure the land in the field to promote the implementation of the two tax laws in Longyou.
Of course, the powerful gentry in Guanzhong are very powerful. In order to prevent these vested interests from taking risks, Wei Ran sent every Liao assistant to the abbot Tianmu to follow at least 20 armed soldiers, each of whom is the elite for the rest of a hundred battles, enough to deter the illegal heart of any powerful gentry.
This move naturally attracted the powerful and powerful gentry in Gyeonggi, and even some people who had no self-knowledge dared to collect weapons and armor with the intention of rushing into the Daming Palace to give Wei Yan a military advice.
This happened to pass the knife to Wei Ran. He took the opportunity to break out at the court meeting. With only 300 soldiers, he destroyed the powerful force that gathered more than 2000 people and destroyed his family.
Then, on this pretext, they made a lot of trouble and cleaned up a large number of tycoons who annexed a wide range of land in Gyeonggi province. With absolute strength and thunder means, cut the mess with a quick knife, uprooted these people, and killed them like a river.
This move made him look at the middle five surnames and seven, and his eyelids jumped. He was afraid that Wei Ran would give them this. However, since Wei Ran moved the knife, he naturally understood the reason to give sweet dates. He could not offend everyone. In this way, he could not implement the system of Fenglin army ruling the place.
