The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129 Civil Structure

In a valley in Songshan Mountain, which should have been full of weeds, now houses are built. Although it looks a little simple, it is very secretive and strong.

From time to time, there are bursts of shouts in the valley, "One, two, one, one, one, one"

On the east side of the valley is a grassland with various training props on it, and many soldiers are training at this time. To the west of the valley is a virgin forest, but the forest is obviously renovated. There are some dark piles in it, which are also used for training.

The house is built in the middle of the valley, and there is a gate to the north of the valley. Now more than 400 people are coming to the valley at this gate.

The four arrow towers were built at the gate of the valley. If anyone dares to approach, the sharp bows and arrows and arrows of dozens of soldiers on the arrow tower will immediately seal their throats, and the safety of the guardian valley at some dark whistle moments is buried in the surrounding mountain forest.

These soldiers in the valley wear colorful camouflage clothes and can be integrated with the mountain forest and grass. If they lie in the grass and look far away, they can tell whether they are people or grass trees.

"Open the door"

At the gate of the valley, a man wearing a camouflage suit painted green and black with unknown materials, waved a small black flag in his hand and said at the same time.

Seeing his voice fall, two other vigorous soldiers in the same dress next to him stepped forward to remove the two wooden stakes blocking the gate and make way to the soldiers in black military uniforms who were curious outside the gate.

There are more than 200 soldiers outside the gate. These soldiers have been selected from more than 400 scouts outside the mountain. Now they will join the Eagle Camp and become members of the heroic and powerful Eagle Camp.

The soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion and the soldiers of other regiments are usually dressed differently. Liu Xia specially made this gorgeous camouflage suit for the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion. Now only the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion have it, but the soldiers of other regiments do not.

"Is this the place where we will train in the future? It's too hidden. If there is no one to lead the way, you can't find it at all. However, this defense is a little too simple. Just a few arrow towers have been built, and there are only a dozen people guarding the gate..."

"Don't underestimate the defense here. According to one of my brothers, there are people hidden everywhere. Although it looks very calm around, maybe that piece of grass is a person!"

"Really, why are people a piece of grass? Can the soldiers of the Eagle Camp use spells to turn themselves into grass to guard here?"

"I don't know how to spell, but haven't you seen the clothes worn by Yingyang Campers? Don't you think they are very similar to the color of grass on the roadside?"

At this time, a strong lieutenant who led the 200 people shouted, "Be quiet, calm down. This will be the place where you live and train in the future. If you embark on this road, it will be a hard and glorious road in the future. Here you will receive hard training, and the training here will be better than your previous department. The team is much stricter and much heavier. If anyone wants to quit, he will go out by himself before entering this door. Once you choose, I don't want you to be eliminated because you can't stick to it. That's too humiliating. It's not only humiliating here, but also embarrassing even if you return to the old army!"

Although this lieutenant Fenwei said very harshly, no one stepped back. All of them were energetic and energetic.

"The attack is invincible! The attack is invincible!"

--

Three days passed quickly. The test papers of more than 200 people have already been corrected, and now the top ten test papers have been placed at Liu Xia's table.

Chen Liu said respectfully below, "General, this is the top ten in this exam. Their answers are the most similar to those written by the general. The first name is Zhang Lang. He is twenty-six years old this year. He is a scholar and his ancestral home is Kaifeng. It was Luoyang City that we joined with the exiles when we came along the way from Guidefu.

Liu Xia immediately picked up Zhang Lang's paper and began to read it. Zhang Lang's answer was indeed reasonable and there were few problems. So Liu Xia said, "If you approve it, this paper will be the first. How many people have pass?

Rui Jun and Ai Gong said, "In the words of the marquis, out of nearly 300 people, more than 240 people have passed."

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction. Liu Xia was still satisfied with this answer, and she couldn't help sighing that the Ming Dynasty students were not all nerds.

This time, Liu Xia needs to recruit six prefectures, and also needs the courtyards of six county-level courts. In addition, Liu Xia also needs to set up some necessary civil affairs departments, such as the Civil Affairs Department to manage the people, the Agriculture Department manages agriculture and animal husbandry, etc., and the Finance Department manages finance. Now Luoyang has been identified as the base, which must be There is a department that manages finance, which is indispensable, but after all, this finance is important. It is impossible for Liu Xia to let the president of this department be elected directly from these newcomers. For the time being, Wang En will temporarily serve as the chief financial secretary, and then choose one to be the deputy director.

In addition, there is also the business management problem of the Department of Industry and Commerce. Liu Xia in this department intends to let some businessmen serve. After all, businessmen know more about business and can manage it better. There are still some businessmen loyal to Liu Xia, and Liu Xia doesn't have to worry about finding it. There are still many departments that need to be established, but now Liu Xia doesn't have so many available people, and some departments are not so nervous, so there is no need to complete all of them.

Now, the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Industry and Commerce have been established first. These four departments, together with county-level departments, as well as courts, need to recruit a total of more than 80 people. Among them, six county magistrates of Yanshi, Gongxian, Yiyang, Dengfeng, Mengjin and Xin'an counties need to recruit six people. At the same time, it is also necessary to recruit the court yard and vice president of seven counties in Luoyang, a total of 14 people, and one vice president of the Supreme Court. There are also a total of six generals and undersecretaries of the three departments of the Civil Affairs Department, the Agriculture and Administration Department and the Industry and Commerce Department, and a total of seven undersecretaries of the Financial Department. At the same time, there are a total of 56 people in the four departments of the seven counties. There are 84 people in total.

That is to say, 84 people should be selected from more than 240 people who have passed this result to join the officialdom, and the selection ratio is almost three to one.

"Go down the order, tell them the position to be recruited, and then ask them to write their own positioning letter, and then conduct another assessment." Liu Xia put down the papers in her hand, and these papers whispered.

Chen Liu and Rui Jun said respectfully, "Yes"

Nowadays, there are five departments in civil affairs, including the Department of Investigation, the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Finance, the Department of Industry and Commerce, and the court. It still needs a lot of manpower. Many important departments are still afraid to let these newcomers serve directly, such as the financial department and the court.

"In addition, let Li Jingran come over."

Chen Liu frowned and said, "General, do you mean the businessman? I don't know why the general is looking for him.

Liu Xia smiled and said, "Although he is a businessman, he is still useful at this time. Now Luoyang can be said to be useless. Industry and commerce must be developed in Luoyang to develop, and most of us do not understand business. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce needs a person who understands business. Li Jingran has followed since Guidefu. I work below, and it's enough to see his loyalty all the way, so I plan to let him be the head of the Department of Industry and Commerce.

Chen Liu said, "I'll ask him to come here." After saying that, Chen Liu and Rui Junai had already left.

At this time, Wang En came in and said, "I don't know what's wrong with the general coming to his subordinates?"

Liu Xia said indifferently, "How is everything going with the logistics department?" Has the person of the deputy director of the logistics department been selected?

Wang Engong said, "General, the logistics department is now on the right track, and tens of thousands of craftsmen have been gathered to build an armament school, a war soul mausoleum, a military factory, etc. overnight. At present, the military factory has roughly built some assembly lines as the general said, and the military uniform is already in production. Moreover, thousands of craftsmen have been recruited in Luoyang, and there is no problem with logistics. As for the candidate for the deputy director of the Logistics Department, his subordinates have selected, but the general hurriedly called his subordinates to come, and his subordinates have not yet asked them to meet the general..."

"Who are the two of them?"

"According to the general's order, the factory director of the military factory appointed Fang Linyuan. Fang Linyuan is a man in his forties with more than 20 years of experience in building weapons. The director of the arms department is Li Sanhan. Li Sanhan is the old man the general met at the beginning. He has a lot of experience in building muskets, so his subordinates chose him as the deputy director.

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done. Since Yangzhou City, I have let you take charge of the logistics work. You have never let me down. Although I know that you are very tired as the head of the logistics department, I still need your help.

Wang En quickly said respectfully, "If the general has anything, just tell him to go through fire and water."

Liu Xia said, "Nowa person is the chief financial secretary in civil affairs, and I can't find a suitable person to serve now. You should be the chief financial secretary at the same time. It's really uneasy to give up the position of the Financial Secretary to others!"

Wang En immediately said solemnly, "I must manage the financial affairs well!"

Before the establishment of the financial department, Liu Xia's wealth has also been under the jurisdiction of Wang En. Nowadays, the establishment of the financial department has not added much burden to Wang En. However, once the financial department is established, it also means that the financial problems of civil affairs are separated from the military and political aspects, because the previous financial affairs of civil affairs were also There are expenses from the Logistics Department.

Liu Xia said calmly, "How much gold and silver are there in the warehouse now?" Although a lot of homes in Luoyang have been snatched along the way, and a lot of Luoyang's homes have been copied, the expenditure is also very amazing. It is estimated that it will cost a lot to build the Soul of War Mausoleum alone.
