Chapter 388: Comprehensive Reform (2)

This time, Liu Juntao took the opportunity of the comprehensive reform of the General Military Office to do a series of things at the same time, such as the replacement of equipment of the army, the expansion of troops, and the replenishment of soldiers.

Of course, several major events were carried out at the same time, which also made the General Military Office spend a lot of manpower and material resources, not only Hu Dexing led the military department to be busy day and night, Liu Juntao also handled official affairs almost continuously, and the money and grain allocated by the Ministry of Commerce were also spent like a flood.

During this period, the military department not only had to register the young and strong people of the appropriate age in Shandong, but also set up training camps in various prefectures and counties, and procured a large number of military uniforms, bedding, and other supplies.

According to Liu Juntao's plan, training camps were set up in various prefectures in Shandong, training points were set up in various counties, and a training camp was set up in Yushan Town.

In the future, the reservists recruited by each county will first conduct basic training at the training points in each county, such as physical fitness, queues, regulations, work and rest habits, reading and literacy, etc., and the training time will last for one month;

After that, the young men who have passed the training in each county will be gathered in the training camps of each province for in-depth training, and these young men will carry out further drills in each prefecture, such as: formation, fists and feet, familiarity with firearms, different types of troops, learning geography and history, etc., and the training time will last for one month;

Finally, the young men who have passed the training in each province will be organized by the military department, and all of them will be sent to the training camp in Yushan Town, where they will undergo rigorous drills.

In the Yushan Town Training Camp, all young and strong people will undergo firearms shooting, battle formation drills, actual combat simulations, survival training, and other subjects, and the training will last for 15 days.

According to Liu Juntao's latest training syllabus, Shandong Town can have a source of hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of elite reservists within two or three years.

In September of the second year of Jingtai, after nearly a month of rectification, the reform of the military department was finally on the right track, and all the armies also drove to the designated garrison address under Liu Juntao's order.

At this time, the various armies were stationed in various places, and the strength had not yet been completely replenished, so Liu Juntao ordered in the name of the chief military officer of Shandong Town that all the battalions in Shandong should be assembled at the nearest stationing site, and the general military office would reorganize the battalions in various places.

Among the battalions in various localities, the soldiers who meet the requirements of the General Military Office will be recruited and trained, and after passing the recruitment and training, they will be incorporated into the various armies as supplementary soldiers, and those who do not meet the requirements will be paid severance pay by the General Military Office, and all of them will be sent home.

The same is true for the generals in the battalions in various places, all of whom need to be "rebuilt" and go to Yushan Town for intensive training, and those who pass the test can be awarded official positions according to their talents, otherwise they will also be sent home.

After Liu Juntao's order was issued, the whole of Shandong was shocked, and the generals everywhere were all fluctuating, and Liu Zian also collected a lot of news to warn Liu Juntao that there were some undercurrents surging in various places.

And civil officials everywhere are also waiting to see a good show, and almost all civil officials are looking forward to Liu Juntao falling out with the generals under his command.

However, Liu Juntao was unmoved, insisted on his own opinion, and the armies were quickly drawn into place.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also began to preside over the reform of the rest of the General Military Office.

The first is the reform of the Ministry of Commerce, which is the "money bag" of the General Military Office, as long as the Ministry of Commerce is as stable as Mount Tai, Liu Juntao will have a lot of money and grain to implement his own plan, and he will not have to be tied to the money and grain issued by the imperial court.

Liu Juntao decided:

The workshop division is integrated into the general division, and the division is Ma Lijun, responsible for the research and development of various new production tools, the improvement of existing production tools, and the special research and development according to the needs of actual production.

This R&D institution carries Liu Juntao's great expectations, from now on, all the technology accumulation in Shandong Town except for the military must be completed by the generals, and even the long-awaited steam engine in Liu Juntao's heart is also the same, which needs to be built by the generals under the guidance of Liu Juntao!

The Department of Trade was integrated into the Department of Industry and Commerce, and the secretary was Cui Ning, who was responsible for the preparation, management, production, and sales of all kinds of patents in all workshops and commerce of the Ministry of Commerce, intervened in commercial affairs in Shandong, Xuzhou, Jiangnan and other places, and was responsible for collecting fees from businessmen and gentry who had purchased various patents in Yushan Town.

At the same time, the Department of Industry and Commerce will also issue industrial and commercial licenses to the whole of Shandong, as well as Xuzhou and Jiangnan merchants and gentry who want to do business with Yushan Town and Shandong Town in the near future.

This is a foreshadowing made by Liu Juntao in order to fully control business in the future.

The Economic Department was integrated into the Finance Department, and Xu Ping was responsible for the operation of the Yushan ticket number, and studied various financial means according to Liu Juntao's plan.

Liu Juntao is ready to use the Financial Department as the existence of the "central bank" in the future, and after the new economic foundation he has built is perfect and strong, Liu Juntao is ready to use the Financial Department to issue credit currency similar to "treasure money".

However, it is still too early for credit currency at this time, and Liu Juntao also needs to do a lot of preparations, and the establishment of the financial department is the most critical part!

The Treasury Department was added, and Si Cheng was recommended by Tang Yu as the right and left hand of He Xin, who was responsible for the central treasury of the Ministry of Commerce located in Yushan Town, as well as the state treasury set up in various state capitals, and was responsible for the allocation and recording of various materials such as silver, grain and grass, etc.

Originally, the Ministry of Commerce did not have a separate agency to manage the allocation of money and grain, and it was a little lax in supervision, so the Investigation Department found out six cases of self-theft in a few years, which not only disgraced Tang Yu, but also sounded the alarm for Liu Juntao.

Therefore, the establishment of the Treasury Department this time is to regularize and strictly regulate the custody and allocation of money and grain!

And Si Cheng He Xin is also a candidate personally checked by Liu Juntao, this person is honest, rigorous, and selfless, which is very suitable for the position of Si Cheng of the Treasury.

At the same time, the treasury set up by the Ministry of Commerce in various prefectures and cities also began to be fully built, and it would not be long before Liu Juntao could hoard a certain amount of money and grain in various places, and once it was necessary to allocate money and grain, the time required would be greatly shortened, saving him a lot of precious time.

After the reform plan of the Ministry of Commerce was decided, Tang Yu also hurried back from Datong Town.

At this time, the affairs of Datong Town had entered the right track, and Tang Yu rushed back to preside over the reform of the Ministry of Commerce.

And Liu Juntao also happened to withdraw from this and began to reform the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

There is no need to change the Tuntian Division and the Household Registration Department in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for the time being, and Zhang Rui and Xu Fa are still presided over as Si Cheng to manage hundreds of Tunzhuang in Shandong and the household registration of all the people.

The enthronement and training of the military reserve are completely dependent on the information and assistance provided by the Household Registration Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so these two departments are also very important.

In addition, Liu Juntao decided to integrate the Mediation Department into the Legal Department of the Fatang Division, and the Si Cheng was Kang Ming, who was responsible for the adjudication of civil disputes in Shandong, and based on the Daming Law, the new law was written under the guidance of Liu Juntao, of course, this move was carried out in secret.

Since Liu Juntao opened the mediation department of the government, the mediation department has handled a large number of civil disputes and is quite prestigious in Yanzhou government.

At the same time, it also sharply reduced the number of reported cases by yamen in various parts of Yanzhou Prefecture, which greatly stabilized the public order in various places, and also made local officials praise it.

This time, Liu Juntao decided to set up a large law hall in Jinan Prefecture, a law hall in various state cities, and a law office in each county, imitating the court system of later generations to establish a complete set of judicial institutions.

If people from all over the world want to resolve disputes through the Law Hall Division, they can appeal to the local law offices, those who are not satisfied can appeal to the law hall of the state city, and those who are not satisfied can appeal to the Dafa Hall of Jinan Prefecture, which is the final ruling!

If one party needs to go to jail, the Department of Justice will hand over the case file to the local yamen along with the prisoners, which also saves the hard work of the yamen, and can also allow local officials to get political achievements, so as soon as this order is issued, local officials are very supportive and cooperative.
