Chapter 99 Internal Affairs (Part 2)
"Promotion? This is easy to deal with." After hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Xiao Tianci's eyes lit up and clapped his hands. As a modern person, when it comes to advertising, Xiao Tianci is of course much better than these ancients. He pondered for a while and continued: "In this way, we can hold a commodity exhibition in Xingye City, invite wealthy businessmen from mainland to negotiate business, and also hold some singing and dancing activities at the exhibition, and invite some famous singers and literary talents from mainland China to liven up the atmosphere and start the popularity of our Tianqingzhou." Speaking of this, a trace of Ye Youyou suddenly appeared in Xiao Tianci's mind. He has not seen him for more than a year. I don't know how this ** is now. He has a task to push her down. This time, he can also invite her to see if there is a chance to push this ** down.
"My lord's idea is good. You can do some product exhibitions and singing and dancing activities." Zhang Zhao nodded and smiled: "However, these are all small things. This big market only belongs to Xingye City. Now that we want to develop the economy of the entire Tianqingzhou, it is not enough to rely on the big market alone." Speaking of this, Zhang Zhao paused and continued, "My lord, when he was summoned, there are always some methods to stimulate economic development in his mind. I have summarized it in the past few days and can basically summarize it into five points. I believe that as long as we do these five points, our Tianqingzhou economy can move forward and take a new level."
"Oh, what are the five points? Zibu tell me quickly." Xiao Tianci couldn't wait.
"The first industrial strategy, policy "take agriculture as the basis, and put the main and the last"; second, in fiscal and tax management, vigorously reform the agricultural tax form, and industrial and commercial tax pays attention to "converging taxes to price" and "taking it with it"; third, in terms of financial circulation, give full play to the macro-control role of money, use the slight and serious techniques to control the national economy, and enrich the national finance. Fourth, in terms of foreign trade, act according to the times and serve enthusiastically; fifth, in terms of consumption expenditure, advocate "extravagance" in special circumstances, that is, expand consumption to stimulate production." Zhang Zhao told the five points in his mind one by one.
As soon as he finished speaking, the smart guys in the hall all lit up their eyes and showed praise on their faces, while the generals on the other side scratched their heads and ears, which was difficult to understand.
Xiao Tianci was also confused when he heard it. He grabbed his scalp and asked, "Zibu, can you tell me in detail? I don't understand very well."
"It's the lord." Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "In fact, in terms of administration, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are separated, and occupations are passed down from generation to generation, ensuring social production, and avoiding people's social turmoil and uneasy due to careers, so as to divide and rectify administrative divisions and institutions, so that the whole state can form a unified whole. In addition, the laws must be newly promulgated and improved. Now the laws of the kingdom are no longer applicable to the rapid development of Tianqingzhou. I suggest that the lord can educate the people with Confucianism and govern the prefectures with legalism. This requires a dedicated person to do it. The lord can choose the right candidates to be responsible for the compilation and improvement of the law later."
After saying this, Zhang Zhao paused for a moment and continued: "As for the economy, we can use "continued land but declining" and official salt and iron to stimulate the economy. What is "continued land but declining"? It means that based on the quality of land and how much taxes are imposed, we can recognize the private ownership of the people's land. We formulate methods of hunting and boiling salt to encourage trade with overseas countries; implement the "quasi-level" policy of grain and affordable grain. Of course, this "quasi-level" system is not only a policy to balance grain prices, but also indirectly recognizes that the people can buy freely.
The right to sell grain and the legality of free private land, and also guarantee the production profits of private land farmers. This law can be paralleled with the military farming law, to reclaim wasteland and form a reclamation corps, and at the same time recognize that the people's land is legalized and taxes vary according to the quality of the land. This makes the tax burden more reasonable and increases the people's enthusiasm for production. Finally, the salt, iron and other items in the state are collected into public ownership, and the government owner comes forward to form an official specialized salt and iron organization to ensure market supply."
"Finally, in diplomacy, now that the new king has just ascended the throne, domestic forces actually do not recognize the new king. However, now that the lord has just won Tianqingzhou, the people are unstable, and all industries are waiting to be developed. Therefore, I suggest that the lord should develop in a low-key manner, openly write to the king capital, express his support for the new king, so as to get the official official enthronement of the lord by the new king, and thus obtain the orthodox status. In private, important officials should be sent to make friends with various forces and put the attitude to the lowest point, so as to reduce the guardianship and suppression of these forces in our Tianqingzhou. I believe that this should not be a problem if Lord Zhuge takes action.
"Zhang Zhao smiled at Zhuge Jin beside him and continued: "There is also the matter about the chain gambling house in the imperial capital. Before the war, the prince of Yan of the Ming Dynasty had cut off the monthly dividends. I guess he is waiting for the battle between the lord and Xiao Shiyun to decide the outcome? In this way, the war is over, I think someone should be sent to contact this prince immediately. Of course, now he is strong and I am weak. The lord must be prepared to be suppressed and not care about other trivial matters. As long as the prince of Yan agrees to redistribute the interests, we will be the greatest victory."
"Mr. Zibu said it well. At present, we are indeed not suitable to offend that prince. It is best to focus on easing the relationship." After hearing Zhang Zhao's words, Jia Xu, who had been touching the goat whiskers, agreed.
"Okay, just listen to Zibu." Xiao Tianci's face looked a little ugly. He kept breathing in his heart at the prince of Yan's injustice. However, since everyone expressed that he would stabilize the prince first, Xiao Tianci had to give up and take revenge when he became stronger in the future. After thinking it through, Xiao Tianci also suppressed his anger and breathed a sigh of relief: "No one has any objection to the economic development policy proposed by Zibu, right? If there is no objection, then I will announce the formal appointment of Zibu as the deputy governor of Tianqing Prefecture and the general administration in the prefecture."
"Thank you for your trust." A hint of excitement flashed quickly on Zhang Zhao's old face, and then bowed to Xiao Tianci, thanking him.
Xiao Tianci waved his hand at him, then turned his head to shout at Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan."
"The last one is here." Zhang Liao walked out with his head raised.
"Wen Yuan, how many troops are counted now? How many prisoners are there? " Xiao Tianci asked with a look at him.
"Return to the lord, there are more than 230,000 regular soldiers recorded in the case, all of which are distributed in various prefectures under Tianqing Prefecture. Among them, tens of thousands of soldiers were laid out in the direction of the border with the four prefectures and Qinghe Prefectures. Relatively speaking, the troops are still a bit shy." Zhang Liao's face was flat and he began to say: "As for the prisoners, there are still about 280,000 prisoners waiting for transformation and reorganization in Jumu City. At the current speed, it will take about three months to complete them all."
"So?" Xiao Tianci heard Zhang Liao's explanation, touched his chin and thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that even if all the prisoners are transformed, our troops will only be more than 500,000. This is indeed not enough for the defense of the entire Tianqingzhou. In this way, Wen Yuan, you prepare and recruit a group of 300,000 new soldiers from the entire Tianqingzhou, and strive to expand the total force to 800,000. In addition, the militia reserve system implemented in our Xingye City is also promoted throughout the province, so that all the light forces in the province must be able to participate in military training in their spare time."
"Yes, lord! I'll do it right away." Zhang Liao said that he would not be vague and would take his life with just bow.
Nodded, Xiao Tianci looked at Lu Bu and other generals again, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "I order to appoint Zhang Liao as the chief military training manager, the mighty general, responsible for the recruitment and training work in the whole province, and to lead the military. Appoint Lu Bu as the champion general, you can select soldiers in the army and form a Xiliang Iron Cavalry with a population of 100,000." When he said this, Xiao Tianci suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Liao again: "By the way, Wen Yuan, how many war horses do we have now?"
"Return to the lord, there are more than 100,000 war horses available in the horse farm. In addition, the war horses seized from several battles, we now have more than 180,000 war horses."
"Okay, the number of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is set at 100,000." Xiao Tianci nodded after hearing this, and continued, "Appoint Cao Chun as General of Tiger and Leopard, you can form a Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with a population of 50,000 on your own.
Dian Wei was appointed as the brave general and commander of the Imperial Guard. He could select his own troops and horses to form a special army of Demon God Guard.
Huang Dehua was appointed as the General of Zhenwei Zhonglang, the commander of the Tianfeng Mansion, responsible for the garrison of the entire Tianfeng Mansion. Pang De was appointed as the General of Yangwei Zhonglang, the commander of the Changqing Mansion, responsible for the garrison of the entire Changqing Mansion.
Yan Yan was appointed as the General of Jianwei Central Army and the commander of the Gusu Prefecture, responsible for the garrison of the entire Gusu Prefecture.
Le Jin was appointed as the General of Jianwu Zhonglang, the commander of the Xiangguo Prefecture, and was responsible for the garrison of the entire Xiangguo Prefecture.
Pan Feng was appointed as the General of the Fenwu Central Army, the commander of the garrison of Changzhi Prefecture, and was responsible for the garrison of the entire Changzhi Prefecture.
Appoint Gao Shun as the mighty Central Army General, you can select troops and horses to form a special army camp."
"promise!"
After Xiao Tianci announced that it was completed, all the generals came out together and took the order loudly.
After the military arrangements were completed, Xiao Tianci looked at the remaining people and said, "At present, there are still many officials in the newly occupied city. Jingting and Changlong should seize the time to select suitable officials and make arrangements."
"It's the lord." Zhang Jingting and Xiao Changlong also responded.
Xiao Tianci continued: "As for the arrangements between Deheng and Ziyu, let's do it this way. Deheng, you are very talented in the invention of equipment, so I will send you to the Heishan base as the base manager, responsible for the development and creation of the army's equipment. As for Ziyu, Zhang Zibu also said just now that you need to go to contact forces of various forces, so I will not be sealed for the time being. When you come back, I will celebrate the merits and rewards for you. How about it?"
"promise!"
Zhuge Jin and Ma Jun looked at each other, and they also walked out to take the order at the same time.
After everything was arranged, Xiao Tianci took two steps forward, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "You guys, like Qingzhou is in chaos today, the next year is the most critical year. We must focus all our energy on development. We will do our own jobs from today on, and work together. I, Xiao Tianci, please ask everyone." Xiao Tianci bowed to everyone again and continued: "I hope you will have the spirit of giving up your family and making everyone hard work.
One year, one year of struggle. I am ugly. If anyone loses the chain and drags me down in this year, don’t blame me for turning against me. I will punish you as much as I should. I will never leave any mercy. Of course, there will be rewards. I will formulate a reward system. Whether it is ordinary soldiers or you officials, I will apply this system. If you perform well, you will be promoted, and I, Xiao Tianci, will definitely not be stingy in terms of material or honor."
Now Xiao Tianci has gradually gained the momentum and prestige he deserves as a lord. He also understood that he should relax and rush, and be kind and powerful together is the kingly way for a ruler to control his subordinates.
(Haha, Zhang Zhao’s suggestions on internal affairs are my daughter, don’t blame me)
