Director Zheng sat in the corner, smiling and nodding his head diligently every time he met the eyes of others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoA few years ago, he was just a supervisor in the third division's shop, not even a public official, who would have thought that he would become an official now.

Now not only has he become an official, but he has also been invited to the Shuaifu to discuss the next things around Qinzhou with the most powerful officials in Qinzhou. When Director Zheng thought about it, he felt like a dream, and he couldn't even breathe.

Chong Shiheng and Wang Kai were responsible for building roads and forts in the surrounding areas, and used this autumn and winter to go west to Guwei and Qiuchi Mountain in the south to set up all the villages, so as to completely eliminate the Qiang tribe in terms of political structure.

Chong Shiheng said to Lu Fang: "The Xiang Army under Qinzhou, according to the orders of the section commander, will be fully incorporated into the Bridge Road Army for the time being, and you will command it." The extreme border of Qinzhou is not as good as the inland state army, and most of these box troops are soldiers, so try not to let them serve. This time to open up the road, whether it is to patrol back and forth to maintain discipline, or to guard against the invasion of Tibet, soldiers are used. ”

Lu Fang nodded and asked, "How many soldiers are there under Qinzhou?" ”

"The cavalry has three commands for cavalry and archery, one for Baojie, and four for the infantry army, one for Yaowu, and two for Wujie. In addition, the Shuaifu also transferred one cavalry each to Anbian and Guien of Fengxiang Mansion, and two infantry to Qinzhou each of Fenghua and Zhuangwu, all of which were also under you. As for the village soldiers, they will be under your command and serve together with the people. ”

Lu Fang calculated, if all these van troops were used as combat power, they could sweep away the losses around Qinzhou. Qinzhou is lonely and hangs on the right side of Longyou, and it can be regarded as suppressing the entire Hehuang with one state, and there have always been a lot of troops. If the heads belonging to the army are counted, including the forbidden army of the capital, the garrison forbidden army, the box army, the township soldiers and the Fan soldiers, it will be more than 50,000 horses. Xu Ping's policy was to take the forbidden army from the capital as the core, integrate other military forces, and form a strategic offensive group with strong mobility ability, and the other armies should be unified and subordinated to Qinzhou to appease the localities. This time, all the Xiang troops were assigned to the bridge army to build roads, which was not only to use their force to clear the obstacles, but also to reorganize the process. The bridge army came from Yongzhou, and was Xu Ping's old foundation back then, and after arriving in Qinzhou, the military system was changed quite smoothly. Use them to reorganize and train the Xiang army in Qinzhou.

Wang Kaidao: "The construction of the road this time, because of the establishment of the village at the same time, it is estimated that there will be a lot of trouble. If you encounter a big chaos, you can find the Marshal's Mansion and arrange for the forbidden army to go to quell the chaos. The marshal instructed that wherever the road was repaired, a fortress should be built at the same time. There should be at least a few places in the fortress: official offices, military camps, three shops, banks, hospitals and bazaars, and other residential buildings can be built by the magistrates, but these places should be built by the bridge army and directly stationed in them. ”

Lu Fang gritted his teeth and nodded: "I understand, the festival commander has an order, and I will do my best to complete it!" ”

After speaking, he turned to Director Zheng in the corner and said, "Director, come, let's discuss how to build the Sansi shop." ”

Director Zheng stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said with sincere fear: "Such a major matter, you officials can discuss it, and after it is settled, the small ones will be arranged." I'm in charge of a shop, how can I take care of this? ”

Several people couldn't help laughing when they saw Director Zheng's appearance, Wang Kai said: "Director, you are also an official now, and all the three shops in Qinzhou are under your control. The strategy of the marshal for Qinzhou is that the roads are repaired, the fortress is built, and the rest is mostly with the help of the three shops. We are building roads here, and you have to think about how to open the shops in the forts in the future, what things to sell and how to transport them there. Not only to sell goods to the Tibetan people, but also to buy their cow wool skins and rare medicinal herbs. According to the meaning of the festival commander, the bamboo and wood for procurement affairs should also be sold by your three shops. These things are all sorted, and your burden is not light! ”

Director Zheng said with a smile on his face: "Officials can rest assured, I have a general charter for these things, but I can't write a large paragraph of the article, and I haven't presented it to the officials." If you have time, I will tell you in detail. ”

Chong Shiheng waved his hand: "It's better to write it out first, and then we will discuss it after we have seen it, otherwise it will take a lot of effort to figure it out." In this way, how about Qinzhou send two calligraphers to you to help you write what you think in your heart? ”

"The best, the best!" Director Zheng nodded again and again, "The little one also reads and reads, but the article has not been written, and he has everything in his heart, but he doesn't know where to write." If there were a bookmaker, it would be great. ”

Chong Shiheng and Wang Kai discussed in a low voice for a while, and said to Supervisor Zheng: "Qinzhou is not as good as the mainland, and there will be a lot of affairs with the help of the three shops in the future, and there will inevitably be official correspondence." In this way, Qinzhou here will send a few public officials to your subordinates, let them be responsible for the exchange of official documents, and you can take care of it. Also, these official documents are a regular practice in the future, so you better learn them as well. ”

Director Zheng said yes again and again, and said: "The officials in the yamen naturally have officials to manage, how can I manage it?" Just come and teach a few people in our shop, it's good to let them delay there. ”

"Director, you are now an official of the imperial court, and the public officials should naturally be in charge of you! The regulations of the three shops, what should I do if I didn't have any dealings with the state and county before, we have to add them here. With the statute, just do it. ”

Like banks, the three shops are managed vertically, and the magistrates are not allowed to interfere in their affairs. Anyway, shops are taxed like other shops in the area, and the local government only needs to treat them as ordinary shops. The reason for doing this is that Xu Ping really can't trust the discipline of the magistrates, if they are allowed to take charge of the three divisions of the shops in various places, most of the money will be intercepted in the locality, who is the three divisions working hard for?

Qinzhou is different, to change the local economic structure with the help of the three shops, a lot of official governance is placed on them, and it has become a practical need to deal with official affairs together. Even so, Chong Shiheng, who represented Qinzhou, still couldn't control Director Zheng, so he still had to discuss things with him. The jurisdiction of the three divisions is given to the economic strategy.

Director Zheng has very few opportunities to deal with officials outside the three divisions, and although he has an official status, he still doesn't adapt to his current status for a while. He did the things that the Shuai Mansion had told him conscientiously, but he was confused about how to deal with other yamen.

Let Director Zheng sit on the side and participate in the discussion of several people.

Chong Shiheng, Wang Kai and Lu Fang began to plan in detail the construction of roads and forts, where to go from the roads, where to build forts, where to build villages, and their respective general jurisdictions. When it comes to real refinement, there are a lot of things and a lot of mess.

After watching for a while, Director Zheng saw that everyone stopped, stopped talking for the time being, and asked carefully: "A few officials, how will the goods of the shop be transported after the road is repaired?" Qinzhou is a border land, I don't know if it has a different charter from the mainland. ”

Chong Shiheng asked: "Supervisor, how do the three shops in the mainland transport goods?" ”

"State-to-state shipments are borrowed from the Postal Division. For the transportation of goods within the state, there is a shop's own fleet. Fengxiang Mansion started to make big cars two months ago, and we have already ordered a fleet, and it should be there within a month. If the place under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou is only considered to be a county, it is not big, so if a fortress is built in this way, it is equivalent to the land of several states, I don't know if it is still not. ”
