After inspecting the properties of the village, Ouyang Shuo instructed Gu Xiuwen to summon the main officials of the territory to the council hall for discussion. This time, he was going to hold a council to expand his territory. The participants in the meeting, in addition to the chiefs of each division and their deputies, also included the five fire captains of the cavalry team and all the high-level skilled personnel in the territory.

After Gu Xiuwen left, Ouyang Shuo came to the administrative office. Many of his ideas need to be realized through the Administration Department. Therefore, before starting the discussion, he was going to have a brief communication with Fan Zhongyan.

The two had sincere and effective communication on important matters such as military reform and privatization. Ouyang Shuo had to admire Mr. Xiwen's sophistication in handling government affairs. Many details of these decisions were revised and perfected under his guidance.

Half an hour later, in the new council hall, Ouyang Shuo sat in the center and began to preside over the first meeting after the territory was upgraded to a third-level village.

"After the territory is upgraded, more challenges await us. In order to ensure the safe and orderly development of the territory, the first task is to expand the army. In yesterday's battle for the defense of the territory, the cavalry played the role of the mainstay. Therefore, I decided to expand the cavalry to a full squadron of 100 men. The squadron leader and the first cavalry team is being served by General Shi. Lin Yi, the third fire chief, led the troops in a good way and performed well in yesterday's territorial defense battle, and was promoted to the second cavalry team. ”

Lin Yi immediately got up and bowed, "Lord Xie's promotion will definitely live up to the trust!" ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, "The first cavalry team is mainly composed of members of the active cavalry team, and the second cavalry team needs to be re-recruited. The recruitment work is jointly responsible for General Shi and Lin Team. My opinion is that recruits are prioritized from the Provisional Militia Reserve that has excelled in territorial defensive warfare. ”

"According to the new military establishment, the commanders of fire will be adjusted. Zhao Sihu, the former fourth fire chief, was transferred to the second cavalry team and served as the first fire chief of the second cavalry team. The original second fire chief and three dogs, were relieved of their duties as fire chiefs and appointed separately. Li Mingming, the former fifth fire chief, served as the second fire commander of the first cavalry team. ”

Ouyang Shuo said to Shi Wansui: "The seven vacancies of the cavalry squadron are directly appointed by General Shi after inspection, and they can be reported to me for the record." For the candidates of the second cavalry team, the forest team has the right to recommend. ”

Shi Wanzai nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

"The external environment will become more complex as the territory expands further. In order not to be blinded, I believe that it is necessary to create a special intelligence and reconnaissance unit. Therefore, I decided to set up a military intelligence department, with the former second fire chief Sangouzi as the director. ”

The three dogs were still worried just now, and I don't know if the adults dismissed him from his post and had an opinion about him. Now that he heard the new appointment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord Xie's trust will definitely live up to his trust!" ”

"The strength of the Military Intelligence Division is set at twenty people, consisting of the original members of the Second Fire plus new recruits. The Military Intelligence Division operates independently, under the dual leadership of me and the cavalry squadron. The above is the adjustment made to the army. Do you have any questions? ”

Shi Wansui stood up and said bluntly: "Lord, the last general has something to say." The general was naturally in favor of expanding the army. But the problem is that, according to what the lord just said, the number of troops will reach more than 120 people. The current barracks simply can't accommodate so many people. In addition, there are only 53 transfer places for junior talismans, which cannot meet the transfer needs of all personnel. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled calmly, "The general's concern is very reasonable. In order to solve these two problems, I am ready to upgrade the barracks to the intermediate barracks. ”

Shi Wansui laughed, "That's great, there will be no more doubts about the general." ”

When it comes to the issue of the army, except for Shi Wansui, others naturally do not express any opinions.

"Okay, that's the end of the military reform issue. What follows is the core of this discussion. While the territory has just been upgraded, I am ready to privatize the territory. On this issue, I would like to ask Mr. Shiwen to give you an introduction. ”

Regarding privatization, Ouyang Shuo had already communicated with Fan Zhongyan before. This time, he deliberately arranged for Fan Zhongyan to introduce the situation, precisely to officially push him to the forefront, so that the core personnel of the territory could slowly accept his leadership.

Fan Zhongyan's intentions for Ouyang Shuo obviously understood. After getting up neatly, bowing to Ouyang Shuo, he said slowly: "Entrusted by the lord, I will introduce to you the main content of this privatization of the territory. After yesterday's territorial defense battle, the territory has sufficient materials and sufficient funds, and has initially met the material conditions for privatization. ”

Therefore, in order to improve production efficiency, activate the economy of the territory, and more importantly, respond to the expectations of the villagers, the adults decided to officially start the privatization process of the territory. In a word, it is necessary to put an end to the current big pot of rice, and instead implement distribution according to work, and adhere to the principle of getting more for more work, getting less for less work, and not working hard. ”

"Specifically, the territory will no longer be responsible for the food supply of the villagers. Correspondingly, the territory will pay reasonable remuneration for the labor or labor income of the villagers. At the same time, all general means of production, such as shops, residential courtyards, farmland, and fishing boats, are open to villagers and allowed to be sold or rented. Of course, strategic resources such as lumberyards, quarries, mining sites, and salt works are still under the direct control of the territory. ”

"In order to ensure the basic livelihood of the villagers, we helped everyone to smoothly complete the transition from a big pot of rice to self-sufficiency. At the same time, it is also a reward for the villagers' labor during this time, and the adults have prepared a basic welfare package for each villager. The basic benefits include 100 food coupons, 20 meat coupons, a fur, a set of ordinary linen clothes, and a 20 silver coin voucher. ”

"The whole privatization process will be achieved through the establishment of an official bank. Qianzhuang provides low-interest loans and is open to all eligible villagers. The specific loan details need to be formulated by the head of the bank after the official establishment of the bank. ”

As soon as Fan Zhongyan finished speaking, there was a commotion below. Everyone turned their heads to each other and enthusiastically discussed the generosity of this territory.

The newly appointed Second Cavalry Team Zheng Lin Yi smiled and said to his eldest brother, Senior Martial Artist Lin Yue: "Big brother, this time you can buy the martial arts hall and run it yourself!" ”

Lin Yue frowned, "Don't make trouble, how can I have so much money." ”

"Hehe, big brother, you're worried. Adults are thoughtful, how can they not think of everyone's situation. Didn't you hear Mr. Shiwen say that you want to set up a money bank and provide low-interest loans? ”

Lin Yue was obviously also extremely moved, and said hesitantly: "I don't know what the conditions for obtaining a loan are yet, I'm afraid that I won't meet the requirements." ”

"I said big brother, you are really a fan of the authorities. You don't think about it, if you can't get a loan under the conditions of your high-ranking martial arts. Then most of the people in the territory will not be able to meet the loan requirements. How could an adult let a good privatization become anticlimactic. Lin Yi had been in contact with Ouyang Shuo a few times, and obviously knew Ouyang Shuo better than Lin Yue.

Lin Yue nodded and was silent.

After the following discussion subsided, Ouyang Shuo spoke: "Just now, Mr. Xiwen has introduced the content of this privatization to everyone. To achieve the goal of privatization, we need to do at least these six things well. ”

"First, we need to set up a bank. Second, it is necessary to determine the selling price or rent of various assets such as residential courtyards and shops. Third, it is necessary to build a series of grain shops, butcher shops, cloth shops, and other shops to ensure that villagers can easily purchase daily necessities. Fourth, it is necessary to set the level of wages and prices so that remuneration can be paid. Fifth, someone should be responsible for the distribution of basic benefits. Sixth, it is necessary to establish a tax system. ”

"For these six things, we will discuss them one by one. First of all, let's talk about the name of the bank, what do you think? ”

"It's called Shanhai Qianzhuang, how about it?" Zhao Dexian said tentatively.

"It's too casual, it's not good!"

"Hehe, I think it's better to call Wantong Qianzhuang, it's imposing!" This is Zheng Shancano's opinion.

"Stealing someone else's name is even worse!"

"The territory is located in the Lianzhou Basin, so it's called Lianzhou Qianzhuang, how about it?" Gu Xiuwen said confidently.

"It's too narrow, it's not good!"

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, not very satisfied with these names.

At this time, Cui Yingyu said crisply: "I think it can be called Sihai Qianzhuang, which is in the same vein as our Shanhai Village, and it also means that it takes wealth from all over the world." ”

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up. Sihai Money Village, that is, simple and low-key, but also hidden ambition. He was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "I think it's pretty good, what do you think?" ”

"It's good, it's good!" This time, everyone's opinion is more unanimous.

So, Ouyang Shuo directly clapped the board, "Okay, then it's decided, it's called Sihai Qianzhuang." For the first installment of the bank's funds, I am ready to inject 200 gold coins. As for the director of the money village, Yingyu will be in charge. ”

The importance of the Four Seas Money Village can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It is not only the core of this privatization, but will also play the role of a territorial treasury in the future. Such a key position cannot be held by someone who is not extremely trusted by adults. Therefore, this time everyone was amusefully silent. It's just that he casually looked at Cui Yingyu's eyes, which contained deep meaning. This means that only the parties concerned can understand it.

Cui Yingyu is naturally an understanding person, and she is very grateful for Ouyang Shuo's trust. She is also excited about the position of the director of Sihai Bank. However, the position she now holds as the director of the Department of Material Reserves is already eye-catching. If you take over the position of Sihai Money Bank, it will undoubtedly attract even more jealousy.

"Big brother, I'm afraid that my energy is limited and I can't keep busy." Cui Yingyu politely refused.

Ouyang Shuo was prepared for Yingyu's reaction, "You don't have to worry, I still have follow-up arrangements." I announce that Cui Yingyu will be relieved of his post as director of the Material Reserve Department, and that Deputy Director Zhao Youfang will temporarily preside over the work of the Material Reserve Department. At the same time, Du Xiaolan was promoted to assistant director of the Material Reserve Department to assist Zhao Youfang in handling the affairs of the Material Reserve Department. ”

Zhao Youfang was still a little lacking in both qualifications and ability, so Ouyang Shuo did not directly promote him to the position of director. As for Du Xiaolan, she is one of Cui Yingyu's two apprentices, and she has officially become a teacher. Ouyang Shuo has always included her in the reserve talent for observation, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally and boldly promoted her to an important position for training.

This kind of personnel arrangement, everyone is a little incomprehensible. After all, no matter how you look at it, the Material Reserve Division is more important than the Four Seas Money Village.
