Chapter 33 You are an official
Manager Zheng sat in the corner, and every time he looked at others, he would smile and nod attentively. A few years ago, he was just a supervisor in the Sansi Shop, not even a public official, but he never thought that he would become an official now.
Now, not only has he become an official, he has also been invited to the General Manager's Mansion to discuss the next step with the most powerful officials in Qinzhou. When Director Zheng thinks about it, he feels like he is dreaming, and he is breathing even.
Zhong Shiheng and Wang Kai were responsible for building roads and forts around them. This autumn and winter, from Guwei to Qiuchi Mountain in the west, they would all set up villages and villages to completely eliminate the Fan Qiang tribes from a political structure.
Zhong Shiheng said to Lu Fang: "According to the command of the commander of Jie, the Xiang army will be included in the Qiaodao Army for the time being, and you will be commanded. The extreme border areas of Qinzhou are not as good as those of the mainland states. Most of these Xiang army are war soldiers, so try not to let them work. This time, whether it is to inspect and maintain discipline or to guard against the invasion of the foreign lands, they will be able to use war soldiers."
Lu Fang nodded and asked, "How many soldiers are there in Qinzhou?"
"The cavalry has three commands of cavalry and shooting, one command of Baojie, and the infantry has four commands of Baojie, one command of Yaowu, and two commands of Wujie. In addition, the general's mansion has transferred the Anbian of Fengxiang Mansion, and Gui'en commands each command of cavalry, Fenghua and Zhuangwu commands each command of infantry to Qinzhou, and all of them are under you. As for the village soldiers, they will be in command with the civilians."
Lu Fang calculated that if all these wing troops were used as combat power, they could sweep away the perimeters around Qinzhou. Qinzhou was isolated and hung in Longyou, which was considered to suppress the entire Hehuang Qiang in one state, and had always had a lot of troops. If all the heads belonging to the army were included, including the imperial guards in the capital, the imperial guards, the imperial guards, the village soldiers and the foreign soldiers, there would be more than 50,000 troops. Xu Ping's policy was to take the imperial guards from the capital as the core, integrate other military forces, and form a strategic offensive group with strong mobility. The other troops were unified and organized under Qinzhou to appease the place. This time, all the wing troops were organized into the Qiaodao Army to build roads, which was not only to use their force to clear obstacles, but also to reorganize the process. The Qiaodao Army came from Yongzhou, which was Xu Ping's old foundation back then. After arriving in Qinzhou, the military system was quite smooth. Use them to train the wing troops in Qinzhou.
Wang Kai said: "This time, the road is built, because the village is set up at the same time, there will probably be a lot of trouble. If you encounter major chaos, you can find the General's Mansion and arrange the imperial guards to quell the rebellion. The General Jie ordered that any place built on the road should be built at the same time. There should be at least a few places in the Fortress: the official office, the military camp, the Sansi Shop, the banks, the hospitals and the markets, and other residential houses can be built by the official village officials, but these places must be built by the bridge army and stationed directly in."
Lu Fang gritted her teeth and nodded: "I understand, Jishuai has orders, I will do my best to complete it!"
After saying that, he turned to the corner of Manager Zheng, and said, "Supervisor, come, let's discuss how to build a Sansi Shop together."
Manager Zheng walked up to him with a smile on his face and said in fear and fear: "You all have to discuss such a big matter. After making a decision, I will make arrangements for you. How can I, a shop manager, pay attention to these?"
Seeing Manager Zheng’s appearance, several people couldn’t help laughing. Wang Kai said, “Supervisor, you are now an official. All the Sansi Shops in Qinzhou are under your control. If you really want to say that, the money and food you are in charge of is not less than the state yamen, how can you underestimate yourself? Jieshuai’s strategy for Qinzhou is to build roads and build fortresses, and most of the remaining ones are to rely on the Sansi Shop. When we build roads here, you have to think about how to open the shops in each of the fortresses in the future, what things to sell, and how to transport them. Not only do you sell goods to the foreigners, but you also have to buy their cows, sheep and fur and rare medicinal materials. According to Jieshuai’s wishes, the bamboo and wood for purchasing services will also be sold. These things are mixed, and your burden is not light!"
Manager Zheng smiled and said, "Officials are at ease. I have a general constitution for these things, but I can't write a long article in my pen and have not presented them to the officials. If I have time, I will tell you in detail."
Zhong Shiheng waved his hand: "Let's write it out first. We've read it before we can discuss it, otherwise it will take time to do it. In this way, Qinzhou will send two bookmakers to you and help you write out what you think in your heart?"
"The best, the best!" Manager Zheng nodded repeatedly, "The young man also reads and recognizes words, but he has never written any articles and has everything he thinks in his heart, but he just doesn't know where to start writing. If there is a writer, it would be great."
Zhong Shiheng and Wang Kai discussed for a while and told Zheng Zheng: "Qinzhou is not as good as the mainland. In the future, there will be a lot of affairs with the help of the Sansi Shop. There will inevitably be official documents. In this way, Qinzhou will send a few public officials to your subordinates and let them be responsible for official documents. You can take care of them. Also, these official documents are the future executives, so you'd better learn them too."
Manager Zheng said yes repeatedly and said, "The public officials in the yamen are naturally responsible for it. How can I manage it? Just come and teach a few people in our shop, so it won't be difficult for them to delay their stay there."
"Supervisor, you are now an official in the court, so you should naturally take care of the public officials! What should I do if the regulations of Sansipuzi have not communicated with prefectures and counties before? We have to add them here. With regulations and regulations, just do as you do."
Like banks, the Sansi Shop is managed vertically. Local officials are not allowed to interfere in their affairs. If there is really a need, they will discuss with the local supervisor. Anyway, the shop is taxed like other local shops, and the local people can treat them as ordinary shops. The reason for this is that Xu Ping really cannot trust the local officials' integrity. If they are asked to manage the Sansi Shop in various places, most of the money will be intercepted in the local area. Who will the Sansi work hard for and who will be busy for?
Qinzhou is different. We have to use Sansipuzi to change the local economic structure. Many of the official governments are placed on them, and it becomes a real need to handle business together. Even so, Zhong Shiheng, who represents Qinzhou, still cannot control Manager Zheng, and still has to discuss the work with him. The jurisdiction of Sansipuzi is placed on the Strategic Department.
Manager Zheng has very few opportunities to deal with officials other than the Three Divisions. Although he has an official position, he still cannot adapt to his current identity for the time being. He did what the General's Mansion told him diligently, but he was confused about how to deal with other yamen.
Let Director Zheng sit aside and participate in the discussions between several people.
Zhong Shiheng, Wang Kai and Lu Fang began to plan the construction of roads and forts in detail, where the roads came from, where the forts were built, where the villages were built, and where the villages were built, and their respective general jurisdictions. If they were truly refined, there were many things and messy things.
After looking for a while, Manager Zheng saw that everyone stopped and did not speak for the time being, he asked carefully: "Several officials, how do you transport the goods of the shop after the road is repaired? Qinzhou is a border area, and I wonder if it has a different constitution from the mainland."
Zhong Shiheng asked: "Supervisor, how do the Sansi Shop in the Mainland transport goods?"
"The transport of goods between states is by mailing department. In each state, there are shops' own convoys. Fengxiang Mansion started to build large trucks two months ago. We have already booked the convoys and arrived within a month. If the Qinzhou jurisdiction is just a county, it is not big. If the fortress is built like this, it will be equivalent to several states. I wonder if it is still the case."
