The Township Territory interface, which has undergone some very interesting changes compared to the previous villages.

The biggest change is that the basic buildings that were previously placed in a pile are divided into five categories: basic buildings, agricultural buildings, commercial buildings, cultural buildings and military buildings.

After upgrading to townships and towns, it is necessary to clearly divide agriculture, commerce, cultural industries, military and other various industries and carry out more orderly planning. To this end, the lords need to formulate more detailed industry management norms and form a more complete administrative system.

And this step, Ouyang Shuo began to implement it at the village stage. It is no exaggeration to say that the current administrative structure of Shanhai Village is sufficient to cope with the entire township stage, if he does not have greater ambitions.

At present, more than 80% of the villages have an administrative structure that relies on the village head, plus one or two deputy village heads, to maintain the operation of the territory.

This extremely primitive administrative structure barely worked at the village stage. After all, there are so many affairs at the village level, as long as the village chief is diligent, plus one or two capable deputy village chiefs, he can still manage them. Not all territories are like the freak of Shanhai Village, and at the village level, relatively complete industries have gradually been formed, from salt industry, fishery, to animal husbandry, industry and commerce, which are simply all-encompassing.

Most of the lords can get the basic buildings required for upgrading, and they will burn high incense, where will they have the extra financial and material resources to develop other industries.

This is also the purpose of setting up four indices among the conditions needed to upgrade townships and towns. The system is to hope that the lords will consolidate the foundation of the territory before upgrading the territory to the township, and do not wait until the upgrade to the township to make up for it.

Another change is that the statistics of specific resource units in the territory resource column have been removed and replaced by various collection fields.

This is also an important symbol of elevation from a village to a township. It reminds the lords that if you go to the township level and pay attention to the specific number of units of wood and how many units of stone there are in the territory, then you are not a qualified lord.

At this time, the lord should have a broader view of the overall situation and control the overall situation. As a town mayor, you need to pay attention to the resource reserves of the major collection sites and plan for the long term.

Take Shanhai Town as an example, with the mountains in its back and a large forest next to it. Whether it is stone, ore or timber resources, it is very abundant, and there is no need to worry about territorial resources in a short period of time.

This is the advantage of the basin, in addition to the relative shortage of timber, the reserve of basic resources is very rich. More advanced gold and silver mines, diamond mines, depending on your character, is not so easy to find.

In addition to these changes, Ouyang Shuo also focused on new infrastructure buildings. Although there were eight new buildings in the first-class township, he had already built them in the third-level villages, and now only two buildings, the cemetery and the orchard, which did not require architectural drawings, were left.

However, this does not mean that Shanhai Town can sit back and relax in terms of basic construction. From village to township, there are four village-level buildings that need to be upgraded. They are village-level toilets, village-level granaries, village-level ancestral halls, and village-level private schools. The upgrade of these buildings is the same as the previous Barracks upgrade, and requires the purchase of upgrade blueprints, which cost ten times as much as before.

After checking the attributes of the territory, Ouyang Shuo had time to seriously look at the upgraded lord's mansion.

The town-level lord's mansion has finally changed from a courtyard house to a house with two entrances in front and back. The front yard was where the administration worked, and the back yard was the inner house where the lord and his family lived.

The furniture of the whole yard has been upgraded to a higher level, and it has begun to feel like a rich home. On top of that, the new Lord's House is no longer the wooden structure of the previous one, but a more imposing masonry building.

The layout of the front yard is basically equivalent to the lord's mansion in a third-level village, and the main hall of the lobby is still a council room, with two large offices on each side of the main hall. On the west side, next to the main hall, is the mayor's office. The next room is the office of the Financial Secretary. The two rooms on the east side are the offices of the Administration Department and the Supplies Reserve Department.

In addition to the wings on the east and west sides of the front yard, there are five official buildings for the heads of various departments and offices to rest and live. The main entrance of the front yard has become more imposing, and there is a special guard room. On both sides of the main entrance are utility rooms, kitchens, and places where handymen live.

Passing through the back door of the council chamber is the inner courtyard. The first thing that catches your eye is a small garden. Rockery and flowing water, swimming fish and birds, all-encompassing. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.

The gravel path that leads through the garden is the main hall of the inner house. The main hall is naturally a living room for entertaining guests. Next to the living room on the west side is a separate study, and next to the study is Ouyang Shuo's bedroom.

On the east side of the living room, there are two bedrooms, which Ouyang Shuo plans to leave for the two sisters, Yingyu and Qing'er, to live in. There are also transepts on the east and west sides of the inner courtyard for maids and servants to live in. Ouyang Shuo is going to recruit two maids for the two sisters to take care of their daily life.

After visiting the inner courtyard and returning to the front courtyard meeting hall, the chief officials of all departments and offices had already arrived and were ready to participate in the first enlarged meeting of Shanhai Town.

Ouyang Shuo greeted the big guy with a smile, and after sitting down, he said, "The topic of today's deliberation has already been explained yesterday. After the territory is upgraded to a first-class township, what is the next step? I believe that all of you here have some ideas and plans to a greater or lesser extent. This time I'm not going to sing a one-man show again, but to concentrate on being a listener. Let's start with the Financial Secretary! ”

The first one was named, Cui Yingyu was in her chest, obviously prepared. The newly appointed Assistant Financial Secretary, Qian Lifei, stood behind her in an orderly manner.

Yingyu sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "At this stage, the financial income of the territory mainly includes the income from the sale of real estate, the output of the North Dusk Salt Farm, and the three major sectors. Among them, the income from the sale of real estate is basically transferred to low-interest loans and vouchers issued by the territory. Therefore, there is no obvious income on the books, which is a trickle of long-term interest recovery. ”

"As the gold industry of the territory, the North Dusk Salt Farm only sold sea salt once yesterday, and it will not produce any more in the short term. Finally, there is the tax, which has only just started because privatization, and the agricultural tax, needless to say, is not yet time to be collected. The commercial tax is also limited to a limited number of shops such as carpenters, blacksmiths and tailors, and the tax revenue is limited. ”

"Let's talk about the financial expenditure of the territory, which mainly includes four major sectors: salary expenditure, engineering expenditure, industrial support expenditure and military expenditure. Salary expenses include the salaries of government officials and the salaries of major collection yards and salt workers, which are fixed expenses. ”

"The most important project cost is the city wall project and its supporting inland river excavation project. The project took a long time and required more than 1,000 laborers. In addition, the expenditure on industrial support, including weapon workshops, winemaking workshops and pastures, is still in the incubation stage, and requires continuous investment in the territory, and there is no benefit in sight for the time being. Finally, there is the independent accounting of military expenditures, which are also a large expense. ”

It can be seen that the financial situation of the territory is not optimistic, and it is obvious that it is not enough to make ends meet. The reason why it can be supported now is completely relying on the system rewards in the early stage and the irregular income obtained from the extermination of the rogue camp to maintain the operation of the territory. ”

Therefore, the next step for the Financial Secretary is to reverse this decline. Ensure that the territorial finances, without additional income, can also operate normally and maintain a balance of payments. If you want to maintain a balance of payments, cutting spending is clearly not going to work. Therefore, the most important thing is to increase fiscal revenue. To this end, the Financial Secretary has proposed two major measures: expanding the scale of the North Dusk Salt Works and further stimulating the development of industry and commerce. ”

"As the financial pillar of the territory, expanding the scale of the North Dusk Salt Works can quickly increase fiscal revenue, which has an immediate effect. However, there are pros and cons. A single fiscal revenue is not conducive to the healthy development of the territory, and the ability to resist risks is also very weak. ”

"Therefore, the main objective of the Financial Secretary is to boost the industrial and commercial development of the territory. To this end, the Financial Secretary proposes to set aside a separate support fund to encourage more skilled talents to open shops or workshops. At the town level, a single blacksmith's shop, tailor's shop or carpentry workshop could no longer meet the demand. It is completely possible to bloom in a bullish manner and promote the commercial competition and prosperity of the territory. ”

After listening carefully to the report of the Financial Secretary, Ouyang Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good, it seems that the work ideas of the Financial Secretary are still very clear. I basically agree with the report just now. However, in order to implement the stimulus policy, it is necessary to change the system first. ”

"To this end, I have decided to upgrade the Financial Secretary to the Financial Services Department, with the Revenue Department and the Commercial Department under it. Former Financial Secretary Chui Ying-yu, as the Financial Secretary and Secretary for Commerce. Former Assistant to the Financial Secretary, Mr Sunny Chin, was promoted to Secretary for Taxation. Specific economic stimulus policies will be implemented by the newly established Department of Commerce. ”

After the upgrade of the Financial Secretary, it will be at the same level as the Administration Department and the Material Reserve Department, which will facilitate the work of the Financial Services Department.

Qian Lifei, a disciple of Cui Yingyu, has been promoted two levels in just a few days, from an ordinary clerk, to an assistant to the director, and now he is in charge of the tax department alone. This also fully exposes the lack of talents in Shanhai Town, and many positions have to be boosted.

Of course, this is also related to Ouyang Shuo's rapidly expanding ambitions. You must know that such an administrative structure is enough to support the territory at the county level, but he made it up at the town level.
