Chapter five hundred and ninety sixth: Dazhi

Now that the Shence Mansion has already had interest groups of large and small.

For the group of people led by Yang Jiong, it is obviously harmful to recruit troops on a large scale, and they have indeed begun to have conflicts.

On the one hand, they hope to have a greater sense of security. On the other hand, once His Highness the King of Wei is in a state of war, it means that a large number of strong men will join the army, and the labor market will be short of shortages. In addition, a large amount of resources tilted towards the Five Military Camps means that investment in other aspects will be greatly reduced in the future. Merchants rely most on roads and bridges. The only thing that is well-connected and continuously reducing the cost of transportation and output is the key.

But on the other hand, some people are quite expecting this. Many merchants are engaged in textiles and smelting. Once the army is expanded, it means that His Highness the King of Wei urgently needs a large amount of military supplies, and some supplies. Although the Shence Mansion can supply it itself, there are still many, but they need to be purchased in large quantities, which is beneficial to them.

Therefore, Qin Shaoyou's expansion of the army was in a turmoil in the meeting hall. The supporters strongly supported them, and those who opposed them strongly opposed them. Yang Jiong could understand Qin Shaoyou's situation very well. Now the conflicts have become clear. If Your Highness does not plan ahead, what will happen in the future?

Once something happens, it is very likely that even the cause will be ruined. If the army is not expanded, everything will be gone when the matter comes to an end.

Of course, there are short-sighted people, but Yang Jiong is not short-sighted. In the end, he was determined to help Qin Shaoyou lobby everywhere and convinced many people.

Half a month later, the Seminar Hall finally expressed its support, and this support was extremely important for Qin Shaoyou.

The so-called people's hearts in this era are of course irrelevant to ordinary people. Henan Prefecture and even the entire five towns are on the surface, but they are limited to this. The people here refer to people with energy in this society, including merchants and gentry. The government has to do anything. If they can get their support, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Once strongly implemented and no consequences are taken into account, it will inevitably cause a rebound.

Yang Jiong is now even more important than Wang Ju in Qin Shaoyou's mind. Because this person's identity and status are extraordinary, and most importantly, he can always mediate relationships for Qin Shaoyou, so that many problems that were originally contrary to the gentry and tycoons finally received their support.

The problem with Yang Jiong was finalized, so the next one was Zheng Rong. Zheng Rong's Five Military Mansions would be much easier. After all, the powerful people there were completely suppressed, and the five towns almost became a paradise for the tyrants and gentry in Henan Prefecture. Almost all the government orders were tilted towards these people. So a large number of people flocked in to fill the gaps in the former wealthy families.

The powerful people in the five towns were no longer able to organize the resistance. A group of local rich people met the giants in Henan Prefecture with millions of dollars in wealth, the gentry with connections to Jiuzhou, and the support of His Highness the King of Wei. The favoritism of the government, the Shence Army and the Five Military Camps were eyeing them, and they could hardly play any tricks. So many families became weaker, and some people simply sold the farm to find another way out.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zheng Rong entered Luoyang on the eighth day of the March 19th. It was quite convenient to take the water from Weizhou to Luoyang. It only took two or three days to arrive. When he came to Luoyang, the helmsman of the Five Military Mansion had completely changed his mood.

In the past, although Zheng Rong was a Shizhong, he thought about his family, country and the world every day, but more often, he was bound by too many things. The court in Chang'an was like an undeveloped forest, full of thorns, and it could even be said that he could not move forward. If you want to do anything, there will be endless resistance to stop you. Zheng Rong was like a person who tied his hands and feet, looking for his own actions in the crack.

Although the Five Army Mansions were small, they had only thirty-one states, but Zheng Rong found that there were more things here than the more than 300 states under the jurisdiction of the court.

The court in Chang'an is actually just a *******. It doesn't care about many things, it's just to provide relief to the victims, allocate troops, or make a fuss about the appointment and removal of officials. In fact, no matter at all times, the court has been "inaction". It's not that this is the national policy of the ruler, but because the current organizational conditions are unavailable.

But the Five Military Palace is completely different. Here, he really has too many places to do. The states and cities of each state are constantly expanding, and a large number of people are beginning to pour in. If merchants want to build some workshops, then... they must have to build bridges and pave roads. Canals everywhere need to be managed and cleared, and the docks and cities also need to be connected.

Moreover, many workshops involve cotton spinning, which is very easy to cause fires. Once an accident occurs, if you leave it alone, half of the city may be burned overnight. So just in case, you must have special fire extinguishers. Because the population of states and cities increases, and the gathering of all religions and all walks of life will inevitably cause public security problems. The original service personnel are already short of money and special thieves must be recruited. The market transaction volume is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer possible for ordinary service personnel to be responsible for taxation, but instead a special tax collector.

The entire process of the Five Military Palaces is actually professionalization.

The original yamen structure had to be disbanded at this time. In the past, except for some full-time jobs, the vast majority of the sources of the imperial court were strong men who were in labor service. In the past, these people were barely competent for some things, but now, whether it was catching theft, extinguishing fires, collecting taxes, documents, repairing bridges and roads, clearing rivers, building water conservancy, registering household registration, receiving merchants, coordinating transactions in the center, calculating money and grain, those strong men who could not read big words were almost unable to compete.

Only specialized talents did these things well. Therefore, the staff of the Five Military Palaces had directly recruited from Taiping Academy, and learned the principles, mathematics, Mingjing, and water conservancy. Almost all the talents were needed. The personnel who caught the thief and fire extinguished were simply transferred from the retired personnel of the Shence Army.

However, it is obviously unlikely that these people who have read books will directly recruit you like the corvee mail that was distributed in the past and can be used with a little food.

Therefore, reasonable rewards are inevitable.

In this case, the Five Military Mansion followed the example of Shence Mansion and began to formulate a salary system for officials. How much money is the first-class officials earned per month and how much money is the second-class officials earned, a total of nine levels, from the first one-month one-month one-month two hundred cents and then to the highest thirteen cents per month, it depends on your own qualifications to take it slowly.

This expense alone is enough to make Zheng Rong feel pain. In 31 prefectures and more than 100 counties, nearly 30,000 officials were recruited, and these 30,000 people. The monthly salary, in a year, is nearly one million guan lost, and the other expenses are also missing.

However... the benefits are also obvious. The specialization of the yamen has greatly improved its efficiency to some extent. In the past, tax collections were mostly based on those servants, but the efficiency was too low. A few people who could calculate and add a large group of people who could not read big words to collect money and grain from a county. The result can be imagined? The special tax collectors are almost all mathematicians recruited from Taiping Arithmetic. They have clear accounts and are not vague when checking the accounts. After a year, although the tax amount has not increased, the tax collected has increased by nearly twice.

The arrests recruited from veterans are obviously extremely efficient. Most of the former servants were recruited locally by the local people. Many things in the village could not be taken care of, so the crimes occurred frequently. In addition, these people had no combat effectiveness at all. Even if they were given guns and sticks, they would only have to escape in panic once they met people gathered. However, the arrests are completely different now. There are only 120 arrests in Weizhou, but the efficiency is extremely high. Often, a few people can stand alone. When ordinary robbers see them, they can only take a detour.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Rong found that the money was indeed not spent in vain, because often the government decrees he issued were always implemented in a practical way. No matter how many orders were used, they were eventually banned. If the government wanted to govern, it would have to rely on the local wealthy families. The wealthy families were each indecent and complicated. You bothered me and I tortured you, but the matter could not be done. Most of the time, local officials were worried about labor and settled the relationship between each family.

The five towns and thirty-one states under the jurisdiction of the Five Military Prefectures have begun to undergo some changes. Because novel things appear, they have more vitality than before. Weizhou City is the most obvious, which is enough to make Zheng Rong feel some pride.

He knew in his heart that from now on, he no longer had to worry about the Zheng family's affairs. The Zheng family had been tied up with this new policy and was tied up with the King of Wei. Everyone had prospered and lost. What he had to do now was to rely on his many past experiences to absorb a lot of knowledge from his staff, and then use his own fists and feet to govern one side, so that the desolate Five Army Mansion would become a fertile land.

This time, of course, it is for the purpose of expanding the army. It is said that this expansion means that the funding provided by the Shence Mansion to the Five Military Mansion will be greatly reduced next year, which made Zheng Rong very worried. Over the past year, he has been simply a boy with money. The entire Five Military Mansion is spending money everywhere, but the investment is not much. With that little tax, it is obviously difficult to make up for these shortcomings.

However, he knew His Highness the King of Wei's thoughts. Since the King of Wei made a decision, it would naturally be impossible to shake it. Besides, he came from Chang'an, so he naturally knew that sooner or later, the two sides would break up, so it seemed reasonable to prepare early.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Since he came, of course he was still for his Five Army Mansions. He could not oppose Qin Shaoyou's expansion of the army, so he had to transform this fate.

The Wei Palace is a very prominent building in Luoyang. A nearby street is full of five steps, one whistle and ten steps. Because the King of Wei now takes on too many things, people come to visit him every day, so it is not easy to meet Qin Shaoyou.

Fortunately, Zheng Rong was not an ordinary person after all. After the notice, he was immediately treated to a small hall in the Wei Palace. After staying for a while, Qin Shaoyou came in with a smile: "Shizhong Zheng, don't be fine, it seems that he has lost weight. Why, is it not good in Weizhou?"

Zheng Rong hurriedly stood up and said, "Xiaguan has seen Your Highness." Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Weizhou is not bad. Although it is not as good as Chang'an and Luoyang, it is also a good place in Xiaguan's eyes. Xiaguan is quite used to it."

Qin Shaoyou smiled and his eyes fell on him. He knew that Zheng Rong was a busy man, and he was afraid that his daily affairs would not be less than Wang Ju. However, this time he rushed over and said, of course it was impossible to greet him.

Just because they have to take care of everything in Shence Mansion or the Five Military Mansion, whether it is Qin Shaoyou, Wang Ju, Zheng Rong, etc., they have gradually developed the habit of being straightforward. If they still look quiet and inactive like before, they have to exchange greetings for a long time, then they will not think about doing this.

After all... the environment changed people, so Qin Shaoyou had already found that Zheng Rong was a little impatient, so he simply went straight in: "I wonder what if Zheng Shizhong came here this time?"

Zheng Rong then breathed a sigh of relief. He could not stay here for too long. He would go back home tomorrow. In addition to meeting Qin Shaoyou, he also had to meet some people from big business companies. In addition, he also needed to communicate with Wang Ju of Shence Mansion and Yang Jiong of the Convention Hall. He was afraid that Qin Shaoyou would have a quarrel with him. If he hadn't finished talking, he would have to delay much.

After taking the injection, I was so strange that I got better after hanging the bottle. After sleeping, I started to have a headache and felt uncomfortable all over. (To be continued.)
