After the Financial Secretary, or the Financial Services Department, reports to the Administration Department.

Fan Zhongyan, the director of the Administration Bureau, stood up and said: "The Administration Department consists of the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Construction, the Department of Yantian and the Department of Household Registration, which are responsible for the daily government affairs of the territory. In order to clarify the functions and powers of the administrative department and more reasonably divide the jurisdiction and responsibilities of each department, there is a proposal on the adjustment of the organization. ”

"Please!"

"The subordinate suggested that the Yantian Division be placed under the jurisdiction of the Material Reserve Administration. As a strategic resource, sea salt should be under the jurisdiction of the Material Reserve Agency. Xiwen is not talented, he has been trusted by the lord and has been in charge of the Yantian Division for so long, which is already overstepping. Please allow your lord! Fan Zhongyan said calmly, as if he didn't know what kind of bombshell he dropped.

As one of the most important divisions in the territory, in charge of the economic lifeline of the territory, the importance of the Yantian Division does not need to be repeated. Now Fan Zhongyan took the initiative to assign the Yantian Division to the Material Reserve Bureau, giving up the most important department of the Administration Department.

The day before yesterday, the Department of Agriculture had just obtained the jurisdiction of agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry from the Material Reserve Administration. Is it difficult to repay the concession this time? When did such a tacit understanding between Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing form?

This is the thinking of most of the people here, and it is also the biggest question in their minds. Ouyang Shuo never believed that the truth would be so simple.

As the head of Ouyang Shuo's personal territory, Fan Zhongyan must want to display his political ambitions. Sorting out the relationship between the various departments and agencies is the first step he takes. Especially the arrival of Tian Wenjing, which gave him a sense of urgency. Therefore, we have taken the initiative to speed up the pace of institutional adjustment.

For such a healthy competition, Ouyang Shuo naturally had a positive attitude and said, "Allowed!" ”

Fan Zhongyan was obviously confident, and was not surprised by Ouyang Shuo's permission, and continued: "In addition, with the rapid increase in the population of the territory, the work of the household registration office is becoming more and more onerous. Therefore, the subordinate proposed that the Registrar Office be formally upgraded to the Registrar Division. ”

Ouyang Shuo's face was expressionless and said, "Quasi! In addition, the Administration Department recommended a new head of the Registrar Department and submitted it to me for approval. Gu Xiuwen, the former head of the household registration office, has other arrangements. ”

This was really unexpected by Fan Zhongyan, Gu Xiuwen can be said to be his most important assistant in the Administration Department. Listening to the adult's intentions, he was going to transfer him out of the administrative office, so that he couldn't figure it out for a while.

It is really difficult to find someone in the Administration Department who can succeed Gu Xiuwen and take the position of director of the Department of Household Registration. Whether it was Du Quan, the grassroots clerk of the original household registration office, or Qin Shijian, Fan Zhongyan's assistant in the administrative office, they were all a little reluctant.

Temporarily pressing the doubts in his heart, Fan Zhongyan made the last move of his institutional adjustment and said, "Lord Qiqi." With the continuous improvement and expansion of the territorial administrative organs, the civil service system, including grassroots government personnel, has become more and more large. Coinciding with the wave of privatization, various temptations followed. The subordinates believed that it was time to set up a special department to supervise and evaluate the performance of civil officials. ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded in agreement, this was exactly what he cared about. After privatization, he could not expect all government officials to be honest and self-disciplined and perform their duties conscientiously. If he really thinks so, it is complete political immaturity. If we want to prevent the slightest degradation, only by putting shackles on all civil officials and putting power in a cage from the system is the safest.

From ancient times to the present, the rule of officials has always been a problem, and it is also the most troublesome problem for rulers. Now Fan Zhongyan has taken the initiative to set up a department for the assessment of officials, and he is very pleased. is worthy of Fan Wenzhenggong, while being strict with self-discipline, he also wants to sort out the officialdom atmosphere of the entire territory.

"What the gentleman said, I couldn't agree more. I have decided to set up a meritorious examination department to be responsible for the punishment and deliberation of civil officials. The meritorious examination department is under the jurisdiction of the Administration Department, and the chief officer is concurrently served by the chief officer of the Administration Department. Ouyang Shuo said.

So far, Fan Zhongyan has preliminarily realized his political intentions through three simple steps. The examination of merit is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of civil officials, so that they do not dare to derelict their duties. Otherwise, what awaits them will be severe punishment of demotion or even dismissal.

As for the specific work arrangements of the Administration Department, it is too large and complex to be discussed at the meeting. After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo will personally find the heads of each department and discuss them individually.

After the report of the Administration Department is completed, it is finally the turn of the Material Reserve Department to report. Similarly, the Material Reserve Agency has just been established, and a lot of work has not yet been clarified.

Tian Wenjing still had the same paralyzed face, and said calmly: "There is only one suggestion from my subordinates. There are currently more than 200 horses in the territory, and the number will increase further as the cavalry expands. Therefore, it is already necessary to choose a pasture for horse breeding. More importantly, it is necessary to find the right stallion and breed better war horses. ”

Tian Wenjing's suggestion reminded Ouyang Shuo that in his previous life, the Lianzhou Basin produced an excellent war horse, the green worm horse.

According to legend, the frog horse is the product of the union of the ancient god worm frog and the wild horse. Therefore, the frog horse inherits the divine will of the frog, runs like the wind, and knows the way, which is very suitable for acting as a war horse.

"Director Tian's suggestion is very good. In fact, in our Lianzhou Basin, there is a kind of excellent war horse called the green worm horse. As far as I know, frog horses live mainly in the heart of the basin. Therefore, to find the frog horse, it is necessary to cross the Friendship River and go to the other side of the river to search for it. ”

As soon as his voice changed, Ouyang Shuo continued: "However, in the center of the Lianzhou Basin, there is a group of strong nomads. These nomads are all soldiers, especially good at riding and shooting, and it is not easy to do it. If you want to successfully capture the frog horses, it is very likely to encounter them. ”

At this time, the three dogs of the Military Intelligence Department took the initiative to stand up and said loudly: "My lord, this matter will be handed over to our Military Intelligence Department!" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and solemnly ordered: "I agree with the dispatch of the Military Intelligence Department." However, I would like to make one request. This time the main purpose of the trip was to investigate, and the focus was to find out the specific range of activities of the green worm horse, and it was not appropriate to clash with the nomads. ”

The three dogs nodded vigorously and said, "Understood!" Don't worry, adult! ”

At this point, the first enlarged meeting of Shanhai Town came to an end. After the meeting, Ouyang Shuo left the generals of the military to study the next expansion plan of the army.

After the disastrous victory of the last time he exterminated the mid-level rogue battalion, Ouyang Shuo was deeply aware of the importance of the infantry, and said straight to the point: "This time the army is expanded, and the establishment of the cavalry squadron remains unchanged. The focus is on infantry, and I am ready to directly expand an infantry squadron. ”

The generals nodded, and Shi Wansui, on behalf of the military, asked: "According to the will of the lord, who is in charge of the newly formed infantry squadron?" ”

All the fire captains and team leaders here, except for Lin Yi, are still seventh-order elite soldiers, and the highest can only serve as the team leader, and the squadron leader doesn't have to think about it.

"The infantry squadron is personally formed by General Shi, and you are temporarily serving as the squadron leader. As for the cavalry squadron, Lin Yi, the former second cavalry team, was promoted to the leader of the cavalry squadron. Ouyang Shuo announced new personnel appointments and dismissals.

Lin Yi, a young player, has a flexible mind and a cool head, and is a good seedling. In just one month after enlisting in the army, he has served as a fire commander, a team leader, and now he has been promoted to squadron leader. It can be seen that Ouyang Shuo appreciates and trusts him.

For the adult's reuse, Lin Yi was naturally grateful, and said excitedly: "Thank you for the promotion of the adult, I will definitely live up to the trust!" ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, looked at Zhang Daniu, Zhao Sihu and others who showed envy on the side, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be envious. I give you a promise, whoever of you is the first to break through to the ninth order elite soldier, I will promote him to the squadron leader of the infantry squadron. ”

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. This is worth it, and being provoked by Ouyang Shuo like this, the ten fire captains immediately roared, and they were bound to strive to be the first to break through to the ninth-order elite soldiers.

Among the ten fire chiefs, Zhang Daniu, Zhao Sihu and Li Mingliang are the highest, belonging to the first echelon, and they may break through to the eighth rank at any time. Liao Kai, Zhou Feng and other fire chiefs who have just taken office are slightly inferior, and they are only sixth-order warriors now.

Therefore, the position of squadron leader of the infantry squadron is most likely to be decided from among the three veteran fire commanders of Zhang Daniu. Among the three, Zhang Daniu and Zhao Sihu, two battle maniacs, have more advantages, and Li Mingliang, who acts a little softly, is slightly inferior.

As for the vacant positions of the two squadrons in the cavalry squadron, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to appoint them. He had to wait until the squadron leader of the infantry squadron was decided.

After discussing the expansion of the army, Ouyang Shuo rushed to the market as soon as possible to buy architectural drawings.

This time, there are four village-level buildings to be upgraded to the town level. Among them, the village-level toilet belongs to the first-class village building, so the price of the higher-level town-level toilet is 20 gold coins. This is also the highest level of toilets, and there are no county-level toilets or county-level toilets.

Village-level granaries, village-level ancestral halls, and village-level private schools belong to the second-class village buildings, and each town-level architectural drawing costs 50 gold coins. Granaries and private schools can be upgraded up to the county level, and ancestral halls can be upgraded all the way to the Jongmyo Temple.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo spent another 20 gold coins to buy an architectural drawing of the intermediate market to unlock the auction platform function in advance. Five architectural drawings cost 190 gold coins.

Speaking of architectural drawings, he remembered that in his storage bag, there were still four useless architectural drawings obtained from the last time he exterminated the Intermediate Rogue Battalion, which were the architectural drawings of the martial arts hall, the stable, the weapon workshop, and the guard tower. He simply took it all out and sold it to the market, deducting 20% of the transaction tax, and got 52 gold coins.

After tossing back and forth like this, he only had 372 gold coins left, which was really useless.

In addition to the architectural drawings, Ouyang Shuo is also going to buy some fruit seeds that are suitable for growing in the Lianzhou Basin, and can be planted directly from seeds or used to cultivate seedlings. In the end, he chose Luo Han Guo.

In fact, Guangxi is also rich in lychees, longans, persimmons and other fruits, but these fruits must be planted with specially cultivated seedlings. Fruits grown from seeds are all wild plants, and it is difficult to flower and bear fruit, and even if they do bear fruit, they are not delicious.

Leaving the market, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Mansion, where there were still a lot of affairs waiting for him to deal with.
