Chapter Thirteen The First Year of Plenty (Part 1)
It was the end of the year, just as Wobasi and others were still in the storm of the Black Sea, Qitad moved from Elista to Magar City.
Magar City is still the first time it used to be, because deep in the heart of Truchen, there are neither garrison nor expansion.
However, since Qitad set up Truchen University here the second year after returning to the country, he lives here every winter.
Standing at the head of Magar City, looking at the vast grasslands around him, the endless pastoral countryside, and the Kuma River that flows all day after dredging, he couldn't help but remember the beginning of pretending to be a ghost here.
This winter is a little warm.
The Kuma River, which originally flowed to the lower land of Manechi, had neither frozen nor stopped flowing. The reason why it stopped flowing in later generations was because a large number of migrant farmers in the Soviet Union had farmed here, causing the Kuma River to be intercepted continuously.
Departing by boat from Magal City, you can directly reach the Caspian Sea. The port of Kossa (later Otha) is already the fourth largest port of the Khanate after Yesk Port, Lagan Port and Crasso Port.
With the high-level highway built from Stavropol to Patigoska, the industrial key Stavropol can easily pass through large trucks and ships directly to the Caspian Sea!
This idea was not completed until the Tsarist Russian Empire a century later, and Qitad completed it a hundred years ahead of schedule!
Today is the last day of the year. According to the previous plan, he will hold an annual conference in Magal City.
In fact, he had a general understanding of the situation of the Khanate, but it was also necessary to let the senior officials of the country know the real situation of their country through the form of a meeting, and to make arrangements for next year's plans and budgets.
At the beginning of this year, he adjusted the administrative system and garrison of the Khanate.
The Khanate formally established ministerial units, namely:
The Ministry of Finance is in charge of the Khanate's treasury, government treasury, taxes, and ministry. It has one minister of finance, Su Wenyu, and one deputy minister, and Zhuang Zhihe;
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce is in charge of diplomacy and business affairs, and has a Foreign Minister, with Bayar;
The Ministry of Justice, in charge of the promulgation and abolishment of the Code, and the public security affairs were appointed as the Minister of Justice, Batu (son of Qitade's wet nurse Saren Eji), and a Deputy Minister, and Fang Xiaoqing was appointed;
The Ministry of Works, in charge of all industrial and mining affairs in the country, has one Minister of Works, Jeddah, and one Deputy Minister, his brother-in-law, Sangkun, the younger brother-in-law of Turandot;
The Ministry of Military Affairs is in charge of the entire army's training, food, fodder, supplies, staff, and militia affairs. It has a military minister, with Shen Muhua as the role of deputy minister, with Yan Xiangshi;
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of national education, medical affairs, and religion affairs. He has a minister of the Ministry of Rites, with his third wife, Jia En.
It is said that since Jaen's eldest son Daudibi died in Junggar, although Qitad brought his body back, she still sad for a while. Fortunately, his second son Ashalai is now at the position of brigade commander of the Ragan brigade and mayor of the Ragan city, and is very filial to him.
In addition, Tana, the eldest daughter she and Qitad, was eight years old, which slightly relieved her pain of sadness and longing.
For Qitad, his eldest wife Abahai and the second wife Tolando still withdrew from the government's handling of government affairs due to various reasons. In Kamisin, he supported the remains of his former Khan Wangbu in his previous life and was able to calmly deal with the Duke of Tatar. Jaen, among the Tsars, was more suitable for continuing to work in politics than them.
What's more, Jaen was the daughter of Duke Karbakin before, and he studied in Russia. It is more appropriate to deal with educational, medical and religious affairs that are far higher than in this world.
Also, she was an Iranian before and converted to Orthodox religion. In addition, she often discussed Changchun religion with Tolando, so it is most appropriate for her to take charge of religious affairs.
In addition, she is old after all, and only has one daughter with Qitade. Unlike Abahai and Tolando, she is about the same age as Qitade. In recent years, she has given birth to several children and needs to worry about housework.
Furthermore, with Jia En here, when Qitade is not here, he can handle ordinary things on his behalf. Although he is just a third wife, he is a wife after all, not?
Under the six ministries, two departments were established, one of which was naturally the Intelligence Department, with the director of Nolbu.
One is the Internal Affairs Department, which is served in turn by Abahai and Tolando. As the management of the Khan Mansion and the six external ministries, Ah Hai, the battalion commander of the Khan Mansion, is now mainly composed of female soldiers.
Of course, if Obasi's mission to Poland goes smoothly this time, he is ready to let him do this.
In addition, provincial units have been readjusted.
The Khanate has seven provinces and two cities:
Stavropol Province, which governs the area east of Kuban, west of Kuma River, south of Manechi River, north of the Caucasus Mountains, and the provincial capital Stavropol City.
Kayasula Province, which governs the area east of the Kuma River, west of the Caspian Sea, south of the Manechi River, north of the Tereke River, and the provincial capital Kayasula City.
These two provinces are actually the former North Caucasus provinces, which are the key areas of taxation, agriculture and industry in the Khanate.
Elista Province, which governs the south of the Volga River and north of the Manechi River, is actually the land of the later Kalmyk Autonomous Republic, and the provincial capital Elista.
Manuto Province, which governs north of the Volga River, east of the Ural River, west of the Ural River, south of Saratov, and provincial capital Manuto.
Both places are major herdsmen provinces and were also the former home town. After a large number of herdsmen were added, there were more cattle and sheep.
The province of Culissare mainly governs the south and east of the Ural River. It is actually the western part of the former Kazakh Xiaoyuz, the provincial capital of Culissare.
The province of Custana mainly governs the northern half of the former Zhongyuzbara Sultan, and the provincial capital of Custana.
The Alal Province mainly governs the southern half of the former Zhongyuzbara Sultan, plus the vast area north of the Aral Sea and the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea, and the provincial capital Aral City.
The two cities directly under the jurisdiction of Aktobi and Yesk. The former is a major industrial and mining site that runs alongside Stavropol, and the latter is the only major port in the Khanate in the Sea of Azov, which is the key point for Qitad to break the deadlock.

Since moving 50,000 farmers in the North Caucasus, plus the Adiges, Alans, Karbakins, Armenians, and Georgians who used to be here, the total number of farmers has exceeded 130,000. The grain produced here alone can meet the needs of all the Khanate who need to pay for food.
Therefore, the previous military farm brigades must be adjusted, and the military's garrison needs to be adjusted.
He arranged two regular brigades in Stavropol Province, one in Stavropol City and the other in Patigosca.
Two brigades were also arranged in Kayasula Province, one in Kayasula and the other in Alan City (Vladik Okz).
There are three brigades in Elista Province. The environment and soil here are not as good as those in the North Caucasus. The three brigades are still military farms and self-sufficient, namely the Elista brigade, Battesk-Ejina brigade (later Volga Donetsk, half a brigade in each place), and the Vitlingka-Lagan brigade (half a brigade in each place).
All three brigades are military farm brigades.
The Manuto Province has two brigades, one in Manuto City and the other in the recently completed Ulianghai Camp (Alessandrovgai), both of which are military farm brigades.
The province of Culissare still only has one military farm brigade.
Yeyisk set up a regular brigade.
Aktobi and Kustana each set up a military farm brigade.
Aral Province has set up two military farm brigades, located in Schalkar and Aral City.
In addition to the personal guard brigade controlled by Qitad himself, these are the sixteen brigades. In addition to the navy in Lagan Port and Yesk Port, the total force is 50,000!
Of course, there seem to be 50,000 people, but they are located in two thousand miles from east to west, north and south. After dispersing, they are also very thin.
As for how we get this year, we still need to report on each department.
After staying on the city wall and looking for a while, he went down.
After Junggar returned, he set up two capitals of the Khanate, Manuto to the north, and Magar City, the Dongdu to the south. The department was stationed in Manuto, but in winter, some senior officials would come to Magar City.
When he returns to Khan's mansion, everyone is here.
Before the meeting, these people were resting in the lounge next to the conference room, next to it, like Zhuang Zhihe and Fang Xiaoqing. No, he has changed his name to Fang Xiaode. Although Yan Xiangshi and others have participated in several meetings, they are still very curious about Qitade's arrangement.
There was a circle of chairs with thick fluff in the lounge, which Qitad called "sofa", and everyone didn't understand, but since Da Khan called it that, they didn't think much about it.
There is a coffee table in front of the sofa, with both hot tea and hot coffee on it.
There is an iron stove in the middle of the room, and the iron chimney leads directly to the roof. The stove surface is very large and there are several kettles on it.
The female soldiers come in from time to time to add tea to them.
"Sweats so hard"
As Kang Xiaozi shouted, everyone got up.
After the bead curtain rustled, Qitade and Jiaen walked in together.
"Greetings to the Khan, to the Lady"
Qitad and Jaen both nodded with smiles.
After another bead curtain sounded, Qitade took the lead in walking into the conference room.
The conference room naturally has a distinct style of later generations.
A rectangular beech conference table about twelve meters long and three meters wide, with an iron stove in the middle, a circle of sofa chairs, and two rows of chairs behind the sofa chairs.
Behind Qitade is a square table that can be used as three people. Kang Xiaozi and Ah Hai are sitting on it, obviously used as meeting recorders.
Jia En sat on Qitade's left hand, Su Wenyu sat on his right hand, and then arranged it in turn.
Seeing a smile on Su Wenyu's face, Qitade also smiled and said, "Is there good news? Then let's start with you"
Su Wenyu picked up a stack of white paper in front of her, "Sweat, that's exactly what it means, this year is the first abundance year in our country"
"Oh, there is a surplus at the end of the year, and there are still many?"
