Before Xiao Tang finished speaking, Su Minshun added: "There are also many other facilities in Qingyang Prefecture, such as roads, irrigation canals, etc., which have been disrepaired for a long time. If you do not find a way to restore it as soon as possible, it may seriously hinder the development of industry, commerce and agriculture."—

Moron continued to add, "The most serious problem now is the lack of talents, especially administrative management professionals who can engage in various tasks. If this is not solved in a short period of time, all work will soon fall into trouble."—

Wufeng nodded, and at the same time he knew very well that these problems were urgently needed to be solved, but at present there are so many problems and the work could not be fully expanded at once. He could only choose the problems that must be solved immediately. "Chongxin, Wenxiu, and you guys, please express your own opinions. Don't sit there and be a Bodhisattva." Wufeng looked at these people in the military-

In fact, these people have considered the difficulties that exist now, but they are not so comprehensive. When Xiao Tang and the other three listed these problems one by one, they all felt a little headache. There are so many problems in front of them, which one is more important, which one is urgent, which one is more urgent, and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and less? I really need to think about it carefully.

Seeing that the few people were thinking hard, Wufeng no longer forced them. After all, these people have spent all their energy on the formation of the army for a while, and they have no extra thoughts to consider other issues, that is, the difficulties in the army have been enough for them to be busy for half a year. "Xiao Tang, then let me talk about how you plan to carry out your work. What is the primary issue at present?"—

"Sir, these questions are ultimately two words, one is people and the other is money. The two complement each other, influence each other, and depend on each other. No one is just talking about everything. There is no one working in factories, workshops, no one farming, military soldiers have no source, infrastructure construction has no labor, and no one buys goods in the shops; but if you want someone, according to the current actual situation of Qingyang Prefecture, you can only absorb a large number of immigrants, and to absorb a large number of immigrants, there must be several prerequisites: one is good social security, two is preferential tax policies, three is sufficient employment opportunities, and four is necessary guarantees of necessary materials. To achieve the above and make the government operate normally, a large amount of funds are needed. Only after the economy develops can there be enough taxes to maintain the daily expenses of the government and the army." Xiao Tang was prepared, and when he saw Wufeng ask, he answered like a stream-

"Continue talking." Wufeng encouraged—

"Actually, we don't have any foundation at all. After all, the transportation and geographical location of Qingyang Prefecture is here, and no one can replace it. It is also a base for the leather processing industry. Now the local people support us very much, so we can still come up with some solutions." Xiao Tang said more and more confident-

"Then talk about what measures are we going to take now?" Wu Feng was also very interested. In addition to Molun and Su Minshun, the others also raised their ears, because these plans were originally conceived by the three of them together.

"We are preparing to formulate preferential immigration policies and tax policies, specifically to increase publicity efforts and encourage people to settle down in Qingyang. From now on, those engaged in industrial and commercial operators in Qingyang Prefecture, including existing industrial and commercial operators in Qingyang Prefecture, will be exempted from all taxes for two years and will be charged half in the third year; those engaged in financial and entertainment industries will be exempt from all taxes for one year and will be charged half in the second year; those engaged in handicrafts and service industries will be provided with the government to rent low-priced housing services; those engaged in agricultural production will be able to settle down in each person at least get ten acres of land free of charge and will be exempt from all taxes for three years. The government will provide him with free crop seeds needed for the first year, and can also provide him with loans for the funds needed for buying farm tools, livestock, and housing construction or

Loan guarantee, if a person is more than ten acres, he will be himself as long as he cultivates for three consecutive years, but he will not be able to buy, sell or abandon his waste, otherwise the government will take back the land; if the worker cannot be found in Qingyang Prefecture, the government guarantees that he can arrange work for him, and he can choose to join the army and carry out municipal construction and employment. We will also set up a recruitment hall to welcome talents from the empire and even from all over the mainland to come to Qingyang Prefecture to serve. At the same time, we welcome others to recommend others. If the recommendation is true and the government is hired, a certain reward can be given to the recommender according to the situation. The government still has a large number of middle and high-level positions waiting for it." Xiao Tang finished the plan in one breath, "In addition, the first problem is to hope that the army will clear the horse thieves and bandits in Qingyang Prefecture in a short period of time, otherwise these plans will not be implemented."—

Wufeng listened to Xiao Tang's plan with great enthusiasm, but he soon discovered a problem, but he was unable to interrupt Xiao Tang's speech, so he had to bite the bullet and finish it, and then he asked: "Xiao Tang, the plan formulated by the three of you looks beautiful and the prospects are also good, but these plans include tax reductions, loans and loan guarantees, and what else can be provided for free? This requires a lot of money. Now we have not even settled for the next month's salary. Where are you going to get this money from?"—

"Yes, we are required to carry out the task of suppressing bandits immediately, but now there are insufficient soldiers, insufficient training, and lack of equipment, especially armor, and the soldiers' salaries are not yet settled. These are all needed immediately." Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu shouted in unison-

"The money problem is your business, Lord Qingyang Prefecture City, Northwest County, the empire. I believe that Lord must have a solution to solve this problem that is not a problem." Xiao Tang did not blink and answered seriously-

"What? You're talking about it easily. Such a huge plan must be needed even if the initial start-up capital is needed..." Wu Feng screamed strangely, and he couldn't help but stop.

"At least 400,000 gold coins." Su Minshun held back his laughter and said it for Wufeng-

"Yes, at least 400,000 gold coins." Wufeng also repeated it quickly. After saying that, he was shocked by the number, "400,000 gold coins? Where did you ask me to find such a large sum of money? This is simply a castle in the air!"—

Several other military personnel were also shocked by this number. This was simply a joke. How could they raise such a large amount of funds?—

"Sir, you don't have to worry. Although the amount is not small, from the point of view, this money is necessary. Otherwise, our development plan will be a paper talk." Xiao Tang sincerely advised Wufeng-

"You don't need to explain this, but after all, the amount of this money is too large. Wherever you ask me to do it for a while? Even if you go to grab it, you have to have a goal." Wufeng couldn't help but sigh-

"Sir, there are no solutions at all. There are a few ways to try. Of course, you have to do it yourself." Xiao Tang's confident suggestions-

"Well, I didn't expect any solution. You actually said there were a few ways to choose from, so you can tell me." Wu Feng looked at Xiao Tang suspiciously-

"One is to borrow from the merchants of Qingyang Prefecture, and use the government as a guarantee. I think I can borrow a part of it." Xiao Tangman said the first method with confidence-

"If you have a strong face to borrow, you may be able to borrow some of it, but after all, the situation is not completely stable now, and these businessmen have been in a bad business for so many years, so it may be very difficult if the number is large." Wu Feng also calmed down and analyzed-

"There is another way to ask the central government of the empire." Xiao Tang squeezed out these words from his teeth-

Wufeng's eyes lit up, high, it was really high. "Why should the Central Empire give us so much money?" Kang Jianguo, who had not spoken, couldn't help it. Seeing Wufeng and others thinking, he really couldn't understand why the Empire gave so much money to Qingyang-

"Because it must be given, otherwise once the situation here deteriorates, it will lose more than just a few million gold coins." Wu Feng said slowly. "However, there is still a lot of work to be done in between, which cannot be done in one or two days-

"Sir, you can borrow some emergency response from the merchants here, but the amount should not be too large. Just be able to cope with it, so as not to lose confidence in these merchants. If it really doesn't work, you can also sell some of the spoils of this war. In addition, you may also ask the merchants to come forward to do a good job in these merchants and ask them to take the lead in moving their own industries, family members and relatives back to Qingyang, which can play a good role in promoting them." Su Minshun also put forward his own views-

"No, absolutely not. We have all arranged these war horses." Liang, Cui, Mu, and Ka all strongly opposed it-

"I don't consider selling war horses for the time being. First, these war horses are quite good and have difficulty in training. Second, if sold, they can only be sold to the army. No matter which force is around, it is not suitable, and it will only increase the threat to us." Wufeng did not agree—

"Sir, the bandit suppression cannot be delayed for too long. I have arranged for the intelligence agency to go down to collect intelligence. We must seize the time to prepare for the army here." Moron also expressed his opinion-

Wu Feng looked around everyone present, "Today's meeting was held very well, especially Xiao Tang, Molun, Su Minshun, you three have completed their work well during this period. The problems and solutions raised are very realistic. Now we are waiting to be implemented. I will be responsible for borrowing money from the merchants and doing their work. The specific handling will be done by Xiao Tang. The reorganization training of the troops must be achieved within one month. We are going to deal with horse thieves and bandit organizations. I believe that with our current strength, there will be no big problems. Maybe these horse thieves and bandits can also supplement our personnel and funds." Speaking of this, the eyes of several military generals present couldn't help but lit up. "In addition, the collection of intelligence on these horse thieves and bandit organizations must be intensified and meticulous. After these things are ready, I have to go to the imperial capital. Everyone should hurry up and carry out these tasks."—

The next day, on November 26, the various administrative agencies of Qingyang Prefecture were announced to be established, and Wufeng also announced his appointment. Xiao Tang was appointed as the Director of the Administration and Finance Department of Qingyang Prefecture, the Director of Culture, Education and Health Department, Molun was appointed as the Director of the Interior Department of Qingyang Prefecture, and Su Minshun was appointed as the Director of the Economic Development Department and the Agricultural and Water Resources Department and the Director of the Construction Department. Considering that Luman is still an army member, the War Readiness Department had to be temporarily presided over the work.

On November 27, Wufeng invited famous merchants and gentlemen in Qingyang Prefecture in Linfengju, the most famous restaurant in Qingyang Prefecture. All the merchants were proud of receiving Wufeng's invitation. Some of the uninvited people even took the initiative to find Xiao Tang and others and requested that they be included in the invitation list. Xiao Tang also met their requirements one by one.

The hall of Linfengju was already very lively, with ten tables in total, and nearly a hundred people had filled the hall. Businessmen and gentlemen brought their wives and concubines to show their status. When Wufeng led his subordinates to the military and political officials of Qingyang Prefecture into the hall, warm applause rang out of the audience--

Amid the warm applause, Wufeng began his opening remarks: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, first of all, I thank you for your appreciation and participation in this banquet. I am deeply honored for your visit. Today, all the elites gathered here in Qingyang's entire palace have made important contributions to the development of Qingyang, so that we can toast to our Qingyang for a better tomorrow!" After speaking, Wufeng took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass, and everyone in the hall also stood up and raised each other-

"Yesterday, our government agencies were officially established and started to work normally. In order to promote the better development of our Qingyang Prefecture, we have formulated a series of preferential policies to be implemented soon. Now, please ask Director Xiao Tang to announce these preferential policies to everyone." Wu Feng said and said, "When he was chatting and laughing, the policies to be issued-

"According to the actual situation of Qingyang, in order to promote the rejuvenation and development of Qingyang, after research and soliciting opinions from some people, we will report to Lord Li for approval. We will soon implement the following series of policies." When Xiao Tang announced the explanation of the policies that were ready to be implemented, the hall was already full of people. Businessmen whispered to each other and discussed the terms of their own interests in the policy-

Wufeng and Xiao Tang had already expected this scene, but they did not stop it. They followed the discussion of the merchants and continued for a long time before they calmed down. In the end, Zhan Zhaobai stood up, "Sir, this plan should be said to be quite detailed and practical. Everyone here also believes that if this policy is thoroughly implemented, the revival of Qingyang Prefecture is just around the corner. However, such a huge plan requires considerable funds to support it. As far as I know, the current financial situation of Qingyang Prefecture is not optimistic, let alone supporting such a huge plan." Everyone in the hall was also talking. Obviously, they did not know anything about the finances of Qingyang Prefecture. Where did such a huge amount of funds come from? It is really unbelievable—

Wufeng smiled confidently to everyone to be quiet, and then explained calmly: "I have considered your worries. With the current financial situation of Qingyang Prefecture, this plan is definitely impossible to implement, but please rest assured that the funding problem is the responsibility of me, and the implementation of the plan will be absolutely guaranteed, and no one will be published from you. Everyone has understood the policy announced by Lord Xiao just now. It is a great opportunity for you to make money. I attended your banquet some time ago, and many people expressed their support for my work. What I ask everyone to support me now is to ask you to move your own industries, family and relatives back to Qingyang and expand the production scale. This is my greatest support."—

"There may be some people who are worried about the invasion of foreign enemies. The social situation is not good. I here assure you that as long as I, Li Wufeng, will never happen like this. We are about to start a social security rectification campaign. As for the effect, I believe everyone will see it soon." Wufeng changed his mind, "But according to the information I have, there are many people in our Qingyang Prefecture who have close contacts with foreign enemies and bandits. In this case, it is considered a collaboration with the enemy. My Li guards are cushions from the enemy's corpse, and the official hat is stained red by the enemy's blood. I don't want my own corpses and blood to add color to my position." Although Wufeng's tone was careless, he finally glanced at everyone in the hall, which made everyone feel cold. Those who had ghosts in their hearts were even more trembling and cold sweat was flowing.

"I hope that those who have had these acts in the past can go to Director Moron to make it clear by themselves. I can leave it alone. If I try to be lucky, get away with it, or do new things, then don't blame the ruthless subordinates of Li for being ruthless."—

The hall was quiet, "Of course, I don't mean that I can't do business with people like Luo Beiren, but that they must have appropriate control over materials such as weapons, armor, grain, salt, and tea, which are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Large transactions of such materials must be filed with the Office of the Internal Affairs Office, and other scattered transactions are not subject to this limit." Before this, Wufeng discussed and analyzed with Xiao Tang and Molun that Luo Beiren and horse thieves and bandits have been rampant in this area for many years, and must have colluded with some illegal merchants in this area, so he also took this opportunity to shake the mountain and remind these people of this.
