Chapter 142 The Five Books of the Privy Council

On the last winter of the fifteenth year of Mongolia, Ulutus held a grand dynasty meeting in Shangjing.

This was the first major dynasty meeting held in Shangjing after the Ulutus tribe entered the Northeast. And because the six major institutions of the ministry after the promotion had moved to Shangjing, the scale of the meeting this time was much larger than when he was in Hailar Province.

I remember when I started my business in Chunzhi Village, there were no more than five people in the entire tribe who could discuss matters. Everyone was crowded in a not-so-spacious wooden house. Almost no one except Ulutus thought that there would be a day when they would be transferred to the towering hall.

The civil and military officials also added up to more than 100 people. And because some places are more important, some important officials are still unable to come to attend the dynasty meeting.

For example, Abatu, the first minister of the Ministry of War of the Ulutus, is still stationed in the Hailar Province. However, now Ulutus has set up another Governor's Office, of which the central army will be from the original guards, and the formal organization will be expanded to 20,000. The Northern Army is the current Shun Yong Army, with the formal organization being limited to 20,000, but there is no upper limit in the war. The East and West Armies only have a pre-set size of 20,000, and the village soldiers who performed bravely in the war before were recruited from the newly established Liaoning Province and Jilin Province.

The territory is larger and there are more places to guard, so there are naturally more soldiers and horses needed. Fortunately, the harvest is quite good by seizing the treasury of Liao and Dazhen Kingdoms. At least the number of Dongzhu brought from Dazhen Kingdoms can afford the military expenses for recruiting new recruits.

Due to the establishment of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Abatu also stepped down from the position of Minister of War and became the first Governor's Office. Among the military officials, he was also the first to be the governor of the Governor's Office. In addition, he also served as the military position of the Governor of the Hailar Province, guarding the place where he started his career and the gates to the north for Ulutus.

It is too close to the Mongolian Khanate. When the Western Expedition Army returns, the first place to attack is definitely an Eastern Mongolian land without natural barriers.

Zhou Shao, the chief official of the royal palace, no longer had to stick to Hailar. Now Ulutus has established a Privy Council, which is temporarily set up a five-person. Among them, one of the Privy Council on the left and one of them, Zhou Shao is the left and Bagabandi is the right Privy Council. Wang He, Duoergan, and Quandong is the Minister of the Privy Council. In the future, the Privy Council has the power to discuss politics and govern government, but the decision is still to Ulutus.

Speaking of which, except Quandong, the other four of these five people are old men who started their business with Ulutus. Now they can become the most honorable minister among civil officials.

Moreover, both Zhou Shao and Bagabandi have done well in office this year. It would be better to say that Zhou Shao did a good job. Wulutus would not be surprised. The performance of Bagabandi and Wang He was what surprised Wulutus.

Who would have thought that in the past, Bagabandi was just a small master of the ancient department. After becoming a senior official of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites was managed in an orderly manner. Especially the affairs of the religious department, which he personally took the lead and was responsible for, greatly curbed the wild growth of religion in Eastern Mongolia.

Nowadays, in addition to the primitive religion born in the Mongolian grasslands - Shamanism is the dominant one in Eastern Mongolia, Taoism, as an alien religion, is also showing a good development trend. Only Islam, under the instruction of Ulutus, has great resistance to the development of "natural" in Eastern Mongolia. Other religions that have almost no influence in Eastern Mongolia have been officially labeled as cults with fallacies.

Moreover, the shamanism supported by the Ministry of Rites and the Religious Affairs Department is under much control. Because under the leadership of Bagabandi, the original shamanism teachings were defined many times. The origin of religious rituals and the origin of immortality were compiled into books in writing.

Moreover, considering that the tribes in the northeast forest actually believe in primitive religions, the Religious Affairs Office now greatly promotes that the gods believed in by the tribes in the northeast forest are actually the immortal heaven believed in by the Mongols.

In this way, theologically, the identity barriers between the two sides are reduced and the sense of identity between minority tribes is enhanced. Similarly, the beliefs of the Jurchens and Khitans are also facing a transformation. I believe that with the assimilation policy implemented by the Education Department, it can greatly alleviate the differences in identity identity between different ethnic groups.

It was precisely because of his outstanding performance in the Ministry of Rites that Ulutus appointed him as the right Privy Councilor, second only to the left Privy Councilor Zhou Shao. Moreover, his identity was a Mongolian. In the Privy Council, he comforted the emotions of those old subordinates who thought that the Mongols were superior.

Wang He said that he was just a craftsman slave earlier, with a timid personality and very cautious manner. Now that he has been in office for more than a year, the various tasks of the Ministry of Works have been greatly successful, and his contributions must not be underestimated. Promoting him to one of the Secretary of the Privy Council was also the only thing he had to do with his merits and hard work.

Duoer didn't have a long time in the official position of the Ministry of Revenue, but his performance definitely satisfies Ulutus. He personally presided over the improvement of commercial policies and the great development plan of Shangjing City. Now, in just a few months, Shangjing City has such a strong commercial atmosphere. Ulutus sees it and is happy in his heart. Moreover, he is a Khitan. Although he has become Mongolian, the mark of the ethnic group is not so easy to erase. This is also a good sign for appeaseing the Khitans in Liaoning Province.

Quandong is also a department that offends people. However, he adhered to Zhou Shao's previous principles in the Ministry of Justice, and never betrays the law for personal gain and fairness, which made Ulutus look at him with admiration. In addition, compared to Zhou Shao's uprightness and overly strong work, Quandong is still sophisticated and sleek. During his tenure, the relationship between the Ministry of Justice and other departments had been eased a lot, but no one should be dealt with.

With such high emotional intelligence, Ulutus also needs him to stay at the Privy Council so that when the relationship between the Privy Council is tense, he can act as a lubricant so that the Secretary of the Privy Council will not be so tense.

But their positions in office, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of War were all vacant. Today's grand dynasty meeting also meant to reappoint five chief officials. This also made the officials below excited. After all, if they could become the head of a department, they would be considered close ministers of the emperor. No matter which official they were, they would be moved.

At this time, Wang Xu was also in the hall. Because of his contribution to the city, he also got the opportunity to enter the hall to discuss matters. Moreover, he was the Privy Council of the Great Zhen Kingdom, but now he saw that he could not enter the Privy Council of Eastern Mongolia. He was determined to fight for the position of the five ministers.

At that moment, he followed the other officials and bowed to Ulutus first.
