I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

"Is it more valuable than the throne?" Long Yunfu said with a bitter smile, "I have even lost the throne."

"Alas... I hereby appoint Ning Huaide as the Prince of Kao Shan, and he shall take this vow to kneel only before Heaven and my parents."

Long Bin had a very successful day, but he couldn't be happy.

My father used this ring to quell the internal strife within the royal family. This ring is called the Dragon Flower Ring, and it is the emperor's credentials, second only to the royal seal.

He returned to the palace, and after discussing with Xiao Rong, he immediately disguised himself and led Fu Yao and the other two back to Lishui.

Xiao Rong stayed there for three days before returning to Lishui under the protection of the Imperial Guards.

Long Bin went directly to Ruxu County and discussed moving with Fu Yao that evening.

Fu Yao was shocked: "Have we been exposed?"

Long Bin nodded and said, "Since my father has named the Ning family the Dinghai Prince's Mansion, I have decided that the Dinghai Prince's Mansion will be located in Danyang County."

Fu Yao, a woman of great talent, immediately retorted, "Are you planning to establish a kingdom in Jiangnan?"

Long Bin hugged her and kissed her passionately for a while, saying, "You're so smart."

Early the next morning, Lin Zhong reported to Long Bin by the stream: "My lord, the Ning Mansion in Danyang is now habitable."

Long Bin nodded and said, "We're moving tonight."

The book subtly suggests that Long Bin, drawing upon his knowledge accumulated over a thousand years of time travel, noticed that his father, the king, valued him and his four consorts more than he did, even bestowing the title of Prince Kaoshan upon the seven-year-old Ning Huaide. This suddenly reminded Long Bin of historical figures and events in the Great Xia Dynasty whose achievements overshadowed the emperor.

He felt a chill run down his spine. Born into an imperial family, all the talk of kinship was just empty rhetoric and empty words. There was no true affection in wealthy families, especially not in the imperial family.

So he immediately moved out quietly.

He dared not expose his family to the world; he wanted to leave an heir for his mother.

The day after the whole family moved to Danyang, Ning Wuwei arrived with his five younger brothers.

After paying respects to his mother and two mothers, the family gathered together, laughing and chatting all the while.

Ning Sinian, in particular, was overjoyed to suddenly have six more brothers, and she couldn't remember which one to call them.

"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother,"

The little girl turned to Ning Huaide and laughed, "Brother, you've become the seventh brother. Hehehe, Seventh Brother!"

Ning Huaide was also very happy. He had long heard from Jiu Ding that his six older brothers were highly skilled in martial arts, so he immediately sought out his six older brothers to learn from them.

Ning Wuwei and his six companions all studied under the same master, and the fighting techniques they learned were exactly the same.

The old man later taught each person a unique skill based on their individual characteristics.

The book subtly reveals that each of Ning Huaide's six elder brothers passed on their unique skills to him. Thirteen years later, the young general Ning Huaide, relying on his six unique skills, fought against eighteen generals and won the first martial arts championship of the Great Xia Kingdom. But that's another story.

Long Bin convened a meeting at Gushan, located between Danyang and Jiuzi. In addition to the garrison commanders, local officials were also present at the meeting.

At this meeting, Long Bin implemented reforms in the Jiangnan region, separating military and political functions according to the system from his previous life.

Establish two systems.

First, a name was established for the Jiangnan region to announce to the outside world that King Longbin of the South had officially taken over this land.

Dinghai Special Economic Zone

The name left both civil and military officials bewildered: It's not a country, not a prefecture, not a state, what does "special zone" mean?

Long Bin didn't offer much explanation; how could he explain a name from over two thousand years later?

He summarized it in one sentence: A special zone is a special area.

What's so special about it?

No one but me, Long Bin, can control you.

The taxes collected in the Dinghai Special Economic Zone will be kept for its own use.

The highest-ranking official in the Special Economic Zone is the Prince of Dinghai, who is currently in seclusion for cultivation and has entrusted me, the Prince, to act as his representative.

The special district is divided into four main parts:

The Ministry of War was headed by the Left Chancellor, Cao Mengsheng. Its responsibilities included recruiting and training soldiers, expanding territory, and defending the country.

Government affairs were overseen by Right Chancellor Lü Yong. His responsibilities included all matters except military affairs and taxation, such as agricultural production and social governance.

Taxation was the responsibility of Cheng Guoping, the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat. His duties included tax collection and managing itinerant and settled merchants.

The Ministry of Justice, headed by Guo Linshi, was responsible for promulgating laws, managing police officers, and maintaining social stability.

Long Bin spent three days repeatedly explaining the responsibilities of the four main areas, requiring each to fulfill its duties and support each other.

In order to build a unique national system, he entrusted the Ministry of Justice and the taxation departments, two of the four major departments, to the Zhengyangmen.

After the framework was established, Long Bin transferred Ma Gui to the position of Minister of State.

After the meeting, Long Bin and Cao Mengsheng had a long discussion and established a plan to expand their territory.

Long Bin's goal is to conquer the entire Dongjiang region and establish the Dinghai Kingdom.

This exchange thrilled Cao Mengsheng.

Long Bin, who has lived two lives in the imperial family, defines his family as a nation, and he wants to create a completely new country.

Long Bin knew that to survive in this chaotic world, he needed an effective management system.

Drawing on his past experiences and combining them with the current realities, he developed a comprehensive and detailed plan for the Dinghai Special Economic Zone.

In military affairs, Cao Mengsheng, as the Left Chancellor and Minister of War, bore enormous responsibilities. He was not only responsible for recruiting and training soldiers, but also for formulating strategies and expanding territories.

Cao Mengsheng deeply understood that the army was the cornerstone of a nation, and only with a strong army could the country be defended and its territory expanded. Therefore, he personally selected a group of loyal, brave, and highly skilled generals to form an elite force. At the same time, he strengthened the training of his soldiers, improving their combat effectiveness.

In terms of political affairs, Right Chancellor Lü Yong also shouldered important responsibilities. He was in charge of all affairs except military and taxation, including agricultural production and social governance. Lü Yong deeply understood that political affairs were the lifeblood of the nation; only with smooth political operations could the country be stable. Therefore, he vigorously promoted reforms, optimized administrative institutions, and improved administrative efficiency. At the same time, he also paid attention to people's livelihoods, cared about their hardships, and worked hard to improve their living conditions.

Regarding taxation, Cheng Guoping, the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Secretariat, was in charge of tax collection and matters concerning merchants and traders. He deeply understood that taxation was a crucial source of national revenue, and only through reasonable taxation could sufficient funds be provided for national development. Therefore, he formulated a reasonable tax policy that both guaranteed national revenue and avoided the burden of excessive taxation on the people. At the same time, he encouraged commercial development and provided a favorable business environment for merchants.

In the Ministry of Justice, Minister Guo Linshi was responsible for promulgating laws, managing police officers, and maintaining social stability. He deeply understood that the law was the cornerstone of the nation, and only with fair and strict laws could social order and stability be maintained. Therefore, he personally participated in the drafting of laws to ensure their fairness and authority. At the same time, he strengthened the management and training of police officers, improving their law enforcement capabilities.

Long Bin's decision to entrust the Ministry of Justice and tax collection to the Zhengyang Sect reflected his careful consideration. As a martial arts sect in the Jiangnan region, the Zhengyang Sect possessed formidable strength and influence. Entrusting these responsibilities to them would allow the sect to leverage its power to maintain social stability and tax order, while simultaneously avoiding direct conflict between the imperial court and the martial arts world.
