Chapter 805: The Way of Governance

This round of military reorganization is expected to last until mid-March. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After the conclusion of the Commander's Council, the gods will return to their respective camps, and while cooperating with the General Military Affairs Department to reorganize the army, they will rest on the spot and strengthen their training for the next big war.

The construction of a fortress on the northern border, which has just been decided, must also be arranged immediately and without delay.

Especially for Bai Qi, it is the least easy.

In addition to continuing to clean up the remaining poison in the three counties of Yunnan, the Long Xiang Army is also responsible for monitoring Dali County. More importantly, the headquarters of the Longxiang Army was transferred to Yunnan Province, and a new headquarters barracks had to be built outside Lingxi City.

The War Readiness Administration will also cooperate with the Long Xiang Army to do a good job of grain and grass reserves.

In the battle of Yunnan, the Longxiang army suffered heavy losses, and all departments were more or less damaged. The newly recruited soldiers should also run in with each other in training to help the recruits integrate into the Shanhai City system.

In short, all kinds of affairs are quite complicated, and it does not mean that there is no war to be idle. Fortunately, Bai Qi has been fighting horses all his life, and he is very handy in handling military affairs, so if he really wants to leave the barracks for a long time, he is not suitable for it.

Not only Bai Qi, but also the three county guards of the three counties in Yunnan who have just taken office are not easy. In order to sort out the rule as soon as possible, the three adults even gave up the Spring Festival holiday.

It is reported that even on the most important Chinese New Year's Eve, they are still working overtime.

Needless to say, Cao Shen took over Dongchuan County, which was a mess, not only to heal the war wounds of the people, but also to deal with the "debt collection" of the gentry and wealthy businessmen.

When he was in Yongren City, Zhu Jin took the opportunity to apply for "compensation" from Huo Quai, which was not an exception. All those in the county who were sacked by the army of Swordsman City ran to the official yamen that had been formed to ask for an explanation.

As the guardian of a county, how can Cao Shen get peace?!

Especially after Swordsman City compensated Shanhai City for 800,000 gold coins, the merchants' "debt collection" was even more fierce. These merchants have smart noses, and they can't hide anything from them.

There was no way, Cao Shen could only play the capital to protect the government and ask the General Administration of Finance to make a decision.

It is also strange to say that the Minister of Finance, Fan Li, immediately approved it, saying that the General Administration of Finance would take out 200,000 gold coins from the 800,000 yuan compensation to "compensate" the gentry and wealthy businessmen who were sacked by the army in Dongchuan County.

Not only that, Sihai Qianzhuang will also open branches in various prefectures and counties of Dongchuan County within a month. For the merchants who have been looted, the Four Seas Money Village will give certain preferential loans.

Although only half of the funds allocated by the Treasury were looted, they were supported by loans, and the merchants were content and even a little overjoyed.

Although they were so noisy, they didn't really expect to get any compensation in their hearts.

As the saying goes: there is a debtor who is wronged.

No matter how much they collect their debts, they will not be able to catch up with the newly formed government yamen.

The businessmen did this just to win sympathy in front of the new officials, so that their next business would be taken care of by the government and not "exploited" too harshly.

It can only be said that these merchants do not know Shanhai City at all.

The entire wilderness, except for Chunshenjun's Danyang City, belongs to Shanhai City, which has the most complete commercial system, and the status of merchants is also quite high, and they will not be treated unfairly.

It is even more impossible for the government to exploit the merchants.

On the contrary, since the first establishment of the territory, Ouyang Shuo, the lord, has been supporting the prosperity of the territory's commerce without any spare time, and striving to create a relaxed business atmosphere.

As long as the merchants paid their taxes on time and obeyed the Territory Code, they had no worries.

Shanhai City does this, and the other realms of the wilderness are not like this. They were either influenced by the gentry and bureaucracy to despise the merchants, or they were pretending to be confused, and they all had a little bit of "exploitation" of the merchants.

"No way, poor!"

The merchants did not dare to resist, and the lords naturally became more and more at ease when they "exploited". It is reported that the exploitation of merchants in some territories has reached an outrageous level, and the merchants are simply used as money bags.

If you run out of money, or if you want to form an army, you will habitually peel off a piece.

The previous territory of Dongchuan County was probably like this.

Because of this, when he was in Yongren City, even Zhu Jin, an outsider from Dali Wangcheng, did not dare to do a second entanglement after being rejected by Huo Quai.

In contrast, the FSD's approach this time is too benevolent, and some of the benevolent ones make businessmen dare not believe it, as if in a dream. After confirmation, it is naturally ecstasy.

The recognition of the new government by the businessmen is like a rocket.

Ouyang Shuo very much agrees with Fan Li's approach. Compared with Cao Shen, the county guard, Fan Li's gaze is obviously more lofty and far-sighted, and he sees the problem more thoroughly.

First of all, should I pay compensation? Should!

When the Praetorian Guards first attacked Yongin Castle, Dongchuan County had actually belonged to Shanhai Castle. A series of events that happened later only corroborated one thing: Ouyang Shuo failed to protect the people under his rule.

Tell me, your people were sacked by the enemy, and now you have got justice for them, and even received double the compensation. Can you take all the money privately?

No!

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Fan Li's approach.

What's even more clever is that Fan Li only compensated half, and the rest was compensated in disguise with preferential loans. In this way, Fan Li also secretly warned the merchants of Dongchuan County: "Be content, don't get an inch." ”

Businessmen have always been a bunch of greedy guys, born to chase profits.

If you are greedy, you don't know what it means to be satisfied.

Once Shanhai Cheng puts his posture too low, these guys will climb up the pole. In that case, Cao Shen, the guard of Dongchuan County, will not have a good time in the future.

Fan Li only compensated half, seemingly stingy, but in fact clever. Coupled with the preferential loans promised by Sihai Qianzhuang, it is enough to re-prosper the destroyed business of Dongchuan County in a short period of time.

This small incident alone shows the political wisdom of the financial commissioner.

How can saint-level historical figures be idle?!

You don't think they're doing anything spectacular, it's just that they haven't really recognized you yet. And now Fan Li has undoubtedly truly integrated into the Shanhai City system.

…………

In addition to Cao Shen, the Dongchuan county guard, the other two county guards were not easy.

Mengding County Shoutian Wenjing was even worse, and the Mengding County he took over was the most thoroughly beaten county by Long Xiang's army. At least one percent of the young people in the county died at the hands of Long Xiangjun.

That's a sea of blood.

Until now, officials in various prefectures and counties have been attacked by locals from time to time on their way to office. For this reason, the Zhang Liao Corps, which was stationed in Tengyue County, had to be divided into a division to escort the officials to take office.

The security in the county is simply terrible.

The people's hearts are unstable, blood feuds are difficult to eliminate, and even the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has been diluted.

In front of Tian Wenjing is a big problem.

The first thing he did after taking office was to use the special money allocated by Ouyang Shuo to issue a generous pension to all the relatives of the sacrificed men in the county.

In addition, Tian Wenjing also ordered officials of all prefectures and counties to go out one by one to express their sincerity and Spring Festival gifts to the families of the victims to express their apologies and condolences.

The Spring Festival gifts sent are not fake, they are all practical things such as rice noodles, oil grains, and cloths. and Tian Wenjing's pragmatic style, but formed in the same vein.

After a series of actions, the people's grievances were finally calmed down slightly.

After the Spring Festival, during the Qingming Festival, Tian Wenjing also prepared to hold large-scale memorial ceremonies in various prefectures and counties to further eliminate public grievances and win the hearts of the people as much as possible.

The dead are great, and nothing can be done.

Tian Wenjing knows very well that if the people's will does not return, it will be difficult to implement all government decrees, like a castle in the air.

Just after the Spring Festival holiday, Tian Wenjing was busy again. He went down to various prefectures and counties to inspect the local people, encouraged farmers to cultivate terraced fields outside the city, and publicized the welfare policy of planting mulberry and silkworms in the territory.

Tian Wenjing also encouraged medicine farmers to take the superior mountain and forest environment of Mengding County as an opportunity to introduce medicinal material planting technology, vigorously develop the medicinal material industry, and embark on the road to prosperity.

Everywhere he went, Tian Wenjing could adapt measures to local conditions and put forward reasonable suggestions for getting rich.

This time, the profound basic skills of this cold-faced county guard were completely revealed. Historically, Tian Wenjing was a very pragmatic official, very familiar with the lives of the people at the bottom, and proficient in all walks of life.

Pointing up, it's easy to catch.

There was a bereavement and mourning before, erasing the trauma of losing relatives; Now that they see the hope of getting rich, the people of Mengding County gradually turned a corner and gradually recognized the county keeper.

In this way, Tian Wenjing initially stabilized the situation of Mengding County's near collapse, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Ouyang Shuo also issued a special edict to reward this meritorious man.

Model Governor, it's really not just talking.

Tian Wenjing's methods seem ordinary, but they are quite skilled, and they are really a great way to govern.

…………

Compared with Tian Wenjing, Tengyue County Shou Zhou Haichen, who also served in the south, was much easier.

One Tengyue County surrendered all the way in the later period, and was not damaged by the war, and the entire order in the county was quite stable. Second, there is Zhang Liao's army in charge, and the young people can't make any big waves.

The only thing Zhou Haichen needs to worry about is the resettlement of the Shanban clan.

At the beginning, Ouyang Shuo contacted the mountain barbarians in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and asked them to go down the mountain to assist Shanhai City in the battle, but he made a promise. Now that the war is over, Tengyue County will naturally have to fulfill its promises.

Zhou Haichen will refer to the model of Wuzhou County, and connect the large and small mountain barbarian tribes living in the deep mountains to live under the mountains one by one, and establish hundreds of mountain barbarian autonomous towns.

That's a lot of money.

In addition, it is also necessary to organize people to conduct skill training for the mountain barbarians, so as to help them change from a hunting civilization to an agricultural civilization as soon as possible.

The Shanman has seen the rich life of the Shanman in Wuzhou County, but he will not be like the Shanman tribe in the Lianzhou Basin at the beginning, and they can't wait to go down the mountain as soon as possible.

Although all kinds of affairs are not difficult, they are also complicated.

For Zhou Haichen, the new county guard, it can be regarded as a good experience.
