The job of recruiting scholars this time was much smoother than last time. In just a few days, as many as seventy or eighty scholars came to interview.

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that four scholars from Dongru Academy also secretly came to join us. Li Xiao thought to himself that if Cui Gongxuan, the academician of Dongru Academy who had always hated him, would have been furious.

The leader of these four scholars is Liu Anhe, who looks handsome and looks a bit like a young actor in later dramas. When he saw Li Xiao, he shook his sleeves and bowed and said, "I have failed many exams and don't want to spend time to spend my time studying the scriptures. I only want to get a job in Lord Li. If I can settle down and show my talents, I will be happy."

Li Xiao laughed and welcomed him. In the subsequent interview, Liu Anhe's good speech and humble and quiet performance impressed Li Xiao very deeply.

What made Li Xiao most happy is that Li Xiaojun is now famous and the Chifeng Castle, which has built a city wall, is like an excellent self-introduction card. Most of the scholars who came to interview this time came here to see the name, so not only did the number far exceed the last time, but also the quality is quite excellent. There are many people with real talents and knowledge, and the scammers in the world are almost extinct.

Li Xiao recruited more than 60 people from it, and at the same time, he expanded and adjusted the various departments of Li Xiaojun.

According to Li Xiao's plan, in Li Xiao's army, in addition to the original Civil Affairs Department, Commerce Department, and Safety Department, the newly established Supervision and Supervision Department, the Money and Grain Department, the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department and the Industrial Department were established.

The personnel arrangements and functions are shown below:

The Civil Affairs Department is responsible for the registration, inspection, reporting of people's household registration and waist card in the fort, handling disputes between local people, and maintaining public security, etc. The 20-person public security brigade assigned to the fort is also managed by the Civil Affairs Department.

The Commercial Department manages commercial stores opened in Chifengbao, including registration, supervision, tax collection, etc.

The Industrial Department is in charge of the factory operation of Quanbao. There are currently three factories in Quarry, Lime Factory and Brick Factory in Quanshan that need to be managed. Because Li Xiao’s current industrial model is basically a state-owned enterprise in later generations. The Industrial Department is mainly responsible for the production planning, communication and coordination, material distribution, product statistics and other matters of each factory. Of course, the Industrial Department will also collect taxes on various factories in the future.

The Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department is responsible for the production, management and planning of all farmlands and pastures in Chifeng Fort, as well as the land reclamation and use in the future. Now, because more than 300 war horses were seized in Li Xiao's army, the original stables were difficult to accommodate. Therefore, the focus of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department is to build a simple small ranch outside the fort to raise military horses. For agricultural production, the territory owned by Li Xiaojun is small, and will not be considered for the time being. In Li Xiao's vision, if there are still seafood projects in Chifeng Fort in the future, it will be temporarily under the responsibility of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department.

The Qian and Grain Department is responsible for the management and statistics of food, money and materials in Chifeng Fort, storage, distribution and use. It is an extremely important department and needs to deal with all other departments.

The above five departments are all economic and livelihood institutions, while the following supervisory departments and security departments are completely government supervision institutions.

The Supervisory and Supervision Department is responsible for the distribution of military soldiers' salaries, review of military merits, teaching soldiers, monitoring and assisting generals, reporting on military dynamics, and other matters. This is an important means for Li Xiao to fully control the army.

The Security Department investigates information from various places, detects whether there is any infiltration within the country, and the movements of various generals and officials, and understands the ideological trends of the people in its territory, etc., and can only carry out secretly.

The personnel arrangements of each department are:

Xu Xiuqing, Director of the Civil Affairs Department, has 4 people in the department, one of which is the chief officer, one of which is the deputy officer, and two officials.

The director of the Business Department was appointed by Liu Anhe, who was quite admired by Li Xiao, and Wu Liang, the former director of the Business Department, was appointed as the more important director of the Money and Grain Department. Another deputy and two officials were appointed.

The director of the Industrial Department was served by another scholar Yan Ke. During the interview, Li Xiao found that this person was very good at calculating and was also rigorous in his work, but he was the best candidate for the director of the Industrial Department. He also had a deputy and two officials.

The director of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department was Ding You, an official recruited last time. Li Xiao learned that this person was honest and came from a farmer family. He was familiar with Jiahe and liked agriculture. Li Xiao believed that this person would be the director of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department, and he should be the right candidate. He was also appointed as the deputy and two official officers.

Director of the Money and Grain Department, the lifeline department in Li Xiao's army, was naturally Wu Liang, whom Li Xiao trusted the most. His organization was set up as a chief officer, a deputy, and four officials. Of course, because the storage and distribution of money and grain were extremely important, Li Xiao decided that as long as he had time, he would always supervise and manage the Money and Grain Department.

The director of the Supervisor Department was Li Xiao, and the deputy director was Guan Yi. Because this department was extremely important and the number of scholars recruited this time, Li Xiao decided to change the supervisors below from one person to three people per team to better manage and supervise the generals and military soldiers. In this way, among the guns and shield soldiers, there were 27 supervisors, two men, two men, two men, two men, the artillery force, two men, two men, and two men, the navy. In addition to Guan Yi, there were 36 men, and they were the chief officers in Li Xiao's army.

Huang Bao was appointed as the Director of the Security Department. Due to Jiang Zun's rebellion, Huang Bao's identity was exposed, so Li Xiao decided not to let him serve as the captain of the first team of the Spears, and his position was taken over by others, so he was specifically responsible for the relevant work of the Security Department. Now, there are 20 officers in the department, including the deputy director, who have been reviewed by Li Xiao. Among these people, there are two clerks such as scholars, responsible for file sorting and document writing. The rest are all people with all kinds of unique skills recruited by Huang Bao and Li Xiao. Li Xiao also has extremely strict control over the Security Department. This weapon used in the darkness must also be firmly controlled by Li Xiao.

For the remaining more than a dozen scholars who had not been arranged, Li Xiao arranged them all as reserve talents. He will serve as children's teachers in the fort for the time being. After Li Xiao's army expanded, he will be added to the army.

After the staffing was completed, Li Xiao set a salary standard for them: each director had a monthly salary of 8 taels, the deputy director had a monthly salary of 6 taels, and the average monthly salary of 2 taels for officials and teachers was 2 taels.

The army praised Wu Liang for his salary. He was originally worth 10 taels, but because he was in charge of the Money and Grain Department, Li Xiao gave him a monthly salary of 12 taels per month. One way is to highlight his status, and the other way is to make him do his best.

Guan Yi, deputy director of the Supervisory and Governor's Department, gave him a monthly salary of 8 taels due to his heavy responsibilities. Guan Yi was even more grateful and secretly vowed to work better to repay Li Xiao's kindness for his gratitude.

Afterwards, Li Xiao held a meeting for all the public officials who joined the company. In addition to emphasizing that they should be diligent and responsible, he also reminded him with a serious expression that if someone is in trouble, cheats, or even corrupt, he will be severely punished and will never be spared.

Li Xiao was originally worried that after the General Administration Office arranged for the Army, he might be resisted and excluded by the generals in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, after the General Administration Office arranged the General Administration Office, the Deputy Director Guan Yi smartly created momentum and promoted the military order, and formed the General Administration Office as a defender and supervisor of the military order. As a result, he was very popular with the military and the daily training exercises were more dedicated, which saved the generals a lot of worries, which made the generals who had doubts about the General Administration Office gradually began to get used to the operation of the General Administration Office.

This management model established by Li Xiao finally had a preliminary prototype and began to operate smoothly. As various departments began to operate, the operation and management of the entire Chifeng Castle became more organized and orderly.

Li Xiao knew in his heart that this was inevitable, because this government model that imitated the establishment of modern society really surpassed this era. The government management method that was rough and backward than the Ming Dynasty was really much more advanced.

After this series of work was completed, Li Xiao then asked Tian Wei and Wang Yishou to go to various places to recruit refugees. The quota of refugee soldiers was temporarily planned to recruit 800 soldiers, which allowed Li Xiaojun to expand again.

On spring evening, Li Xiao and Liu Anhe, director of the Business Department, were walking outside the fort together.

The scholar Liu Anhe sighed: "The organizational division of Lord Li Tongzhi is divided into Qingming and each performs his duties. It is really refreshing. People in our Ming Dynasty government are superficial and shirk their responsibilities."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "I have read Han Feizi's "Five Worms" and still remember a passage in it. Now those who have wood drilled in the Xiahou family must be laughed by Gun Yu; those who have decided to slap in the Yin and Zhou dynasties must be laughed by Tang Wu. However, those who have Mei Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu, and Yu in the current world must be laughed by the new saints. Therefore, the sages do not expect to think about the past, and do not always do it, and discuss the affairs of the world because of their preparations. It can be seen that the ancients have such thoughts of looking forward to the present day. How dare we rulers not take it as a warning? Only by keeping pace with the times and preparing for the future is the only correct way."

Liu Anhe also laughed, and he said in an admirational tone: "Now I want to use the politics of the previous kings to be the people of the world, and I am sorry that there are too many people in my Ming Dynasty who are waiting for the rabbit and not doing practical things. If the officials in my Ming Dynasty were as diligent and good at governing like Lord Li, why would my Ming Dynasty be as dangerous as today?"

Li Xiao put away his smile and said with a serious expression: "Anhe, in fact, the various plans of my Chifeng Castle were successfully implemented because this place is remote, sparsely populated, and there are not many disputes about interests. Since there is no dispute, my various ideas and arrangements can be implemented smoothly and smoothly. In my opinion, it is not that I am a Ming Dynasty now, nor is it that no one thought of making improvements to the status quo immediately. However, such reforms involve the interests of too many people, and there are various obstacles and ties, which makes the reform ultimately miscarried and unable to be implemented. This is also the most regrettable thing in my Ming Dynasty."

Liu Anhe nodded and said, "The opinions of the adults are very reasonable. Students are thinking that it is also a good thing for us to not only change others, but to start with ourselves."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "What An He said is true to my wish."

The two talked happily, the evening breeze blew, and the golden sunset pulled the figures of the two very long.

After Li Xiao returned to the fort, Wu Liang quickly walked forward with a letter in his hand and reported to Li Xiao solemnly: "Sir, a messenger has just sent this letter, saying that it was a letter specially sent by Shandong Governor Li Maofang to you."

Li Xiao looked surprised. This Shandong Governor Li Maofang had never known him, so why did there have been letters here? It was strange.
