In a valley in the middle of Songshan Mountain, where there should have been a forest of weeds, houses were now built, and although they looked a little simple, they were very secretive and sturdy.

From time to time there were bursts of shouts in the valley "one-two-one, one-two-one"

On the east side of the valley is a meadow with various training props on it, and there are quite a few soldiers training at this time. To the west of the valley is a primeval forest, but this forest is apparently remodeled, with some hidden stakes in it, which is also used for training.

The house was built in the middle of the valley, and on the north side of the valley was the gate for the exit, and now more than 400 people were coming to the valley.

The gate of the valley is built with four arrow towers, if anyone dares to approach, the sharp bows and arrows of dozens of soldiers on the arrow tower will immediately seal the throat, and in the surrounding mountains and forests, there are some hidden guards who are buried in the valley at the time of safety.

The soldiers in these valleys wore colorful camouflage uniforms and could blend in with the mountains, forests and meadows, and if you lay down in the grass and looked from afar, you could tell whether it was a person or a grass tree.

"Open the Door"

At the gate of the valley, a green and black man wearing a camouflage uniform with a face that he didn't know what material to paint it with was holding a small black flag in his hand and waving it at the same time.

As his words fell, two other well-dressed soldiers next to him stepped forward to remove the two wooden stakes blocking the gate, and made way for the soldiers in black uniforms who were looking around and curious outside the gate.

There were more than 200 soldiers outside this gate, and these soldiers were 200 people who had been selected from more than 400 scouts outside the mountain, and now they would join the Eagle Yang Battalion and become a member of the heroic and powerful Eagle Yang Battalion.

The soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion are not the same as the soldiers of other regiments, and the camouflage uniforms that Liu Xia specially created for the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion look very gorgeous, but now only the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion have them, and the soldiers of other regiments do not.

"This is where we train in the future? It's so hidden that if there is no one to guide you on the road, you can't find it. However, this defense is a bit too simple, just a few arrow towers have been built, and there are only a dozen people guarding the gate......"

"Don't underestimate the defenses here, according to one of my brothers, there are people hiding everywhere here, and although the surroundings look unusually calm, maybe that grass is a person!"

"It's really fake, how can people be a piece of grass, could it be that the soldiers of the Eagle Yang Battalion can use spells to turn themselves into grass to guard here?"

"Spells don't work, but don't you look at the clothes worn by the Eagle Camp people, don't you think they resemble the color of the grass on the side of the road?"

At this time, one of the two hundred leading lieutenants shouted: "All quiet, all quiet, this will be the place where you will live and train in the future, you have set foot on this road, it will be a hard and glorious road in the future, here you will receive hard training, the training here will be much harsher and heavier than your previous troops, if anyone wants to quit, he will come out of the ranks before he enters this gate now." Once you choose, I don't want you to be eliminated because you can't persevere, it's too embarrassing, not only here, but even if you return to the old army, it's just too embarrassing! ”

Although this Fenwei Lieutenant said very harshly, no one took a half step back, and all of them were in high spirits and fighting spirits.

"Conquer everything, conquer everything, and win the battle! Conquer everything, conquer everything, and win the battle! ”

------------

The three days passed quickly, and the test papers of the more than 200 people had already been corrected, and now the top ten test papers have been placed in front of Liu Xia's desk.

Chen Liu bowed respectfully: "General, this is the top ten in this exam, and their answers are the closest to the answers written by the general." The first name is Zhang Lang, six out of twenty this year, he was born in Xiucai, and his ancestral home is Kaifeng. It was when we came along the way from Guide Mansion and joined the homeless people and then arrived in this Luoyang City. ”

Liu Xia immediately picked up Zhang Lang's scroll and began to look at it, this Zhang Lang's answer was indeed reasonable, and there were few problems. So Liu Xia said: "It's approved, this volume is the first." How many people passed? ”

Rui Junai said respectfully: "Back to Hou Ye's words, among the nearly 300 people, there are more than 240 people who have passed."

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction, Liu Xia was still satisfied with this answer, and couldn't help but sigh that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were not all nerds.

This time Liu Xia needs to recruit six counties, and also needs six county-level court yards, and Liu Xia also needs to set up some necessary civil affairs departments, such as the Department of Civil Affairs to manage the people, the Department of Agriculture to manage agriculture and animal husbandry, etc., the Department of Finance to manage finance, now Luoyang has been identified as a base, there must be a department to manage finance, this is essential, but after all, this finance is important, Liu Xia can not let the head of this department be directly elected from these newcomers, and Wang En will temporarily serve as the chief of the financial secretary, Then a second one will be elected as a deputy minister.

Moreover, there is also the issue of the Department of Industry and Commerce managing business and commerce, and Liu Xia intends to let some businessmen take up this department, after all, businessmen know more about business and can manage it better. There are still some businessmen loyal to Liu Xia, and Liu Xia is not worried about finding them. There are still many departments that need to be established, but now Liu Xia does not have so many available people, and some departments are not so tight, so there is no need to build them all.

At present, the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Agricultural Administration, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Industry and Commerce have been set up, and these four departments, together with the departments at the county level, and the courts, need to recruit more than 80 people. Among them, it is necessary to recruit six counties, and the county orders of Yanshi, Gongxian, Yiyang, Dengfeng, Mengjin, and Xin'an require six people, and at the same time, it is also necessary to recruit court courtyards and vice presidents of seven counties in Luoyang on top of the six counties, a total of 14 people, as well as one vice president of the Supreme Court. There are also six directors and deputy directors of the three departments of the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Industry and Commerce, and a total of seven deputy directors of the Department of Finance. At the same time, there are 56 directors and deputies in four departments in seven counties. In total, there were eighty-four people.

In other words, 84 people should be selected from the more than 240 people who passed the test to join the officialdom, and the ratio of selections was almost three to one.

"Send the order down, tell them the position they are recruiting, and then ask them to write a copy of their placement letter, and then conduct another assessment." Liu Xia put down the scrolls in his hand, and these scrolls said in a low voice.

Chen Liu and Rui Junai said respectfully: "Yes"

Now in terms of civil affairs, there are a total of five departments, including the Investigation Department, the Civil Affairs Department, the Agricultural Administration Department, the Finance Department, and the Industry and Commerce Department, as well as the courts. There is still a lot of manpower needed. Many important departments are now not daring to let these newcomers directly serve, such as the Financial Secretary and the court.

"In addition, let Li Jingran come over."

Chen Liu frowned and said, "General, you mean, that businessman?" I don't know what the general is looking for him for? ”

Liu Xia said with a smile: "Although he is a businessman, but at this time it is still useful, now Luoyang can be described as a hundred wastes to be revived, industry and commerce must be developed Luoyang can develop, and most of us do not understand business, so this Ministry of Industry and Commerce needs a person who understands business, this Li Jingran has been working under Ben Hou since Guide Mansion, and this way down is enough to see his loyalty, so Ben Hou intends to let him be the chief of the Department of Industry and Commerce." ”

Chen Liu said: "The subordinates will call him over." After that, Chen Liu and Rui Junai had already left.

At this time, Wang En walked in and said, "I don't know what the general is doing when he comes to his subordinates?" ”

Liu Xia said indifferently: "How are the things handled by the Logistics Department?" Has the Undersecretary of the Logistics Division been chosen? ”

Wang Engong said: "General Hui, the Logistics Department is now on the right track, and his subordinates have gathered tens of thousands of craftsmen to build the Armament Academy, the War Spirit Mausoleum, the Military Factory, etc. overnight. At present, the military factory has roughly built the assembly line that some generals say, and the military uniform is already being produced. Moreover, thousands of craftsmen have been recruited in Luoyang, and there is no problem with logistics. As for the candidate for the deputy chief of the logistics department, his subordinates have already chosen, but the general hurriedly called his subordinates to come, and his subordinates have not yet asked them to prepare to meet the general......"

"Who are the two of them?"

According to the general's orders, the director of the military factory appointed Fang Linyuan, a man in his forties, with more than 20 years of experience in building weapons. The head of the arms department was served by Li Sanhan, who was the old man the general had seen, and he had a lot of experience in building muskets, so his subordinates chose him as the deputy chief. ”

Liu Xia nodded with satisfaction and said: "Good job, Ben Hou has let you take charge of logistics since Yangzhou City, and you have never disappointed Ben Hou." Although Ben Hou knows that you are tired of being the head of this logistics department, Ben Hou still needs your help. ”

That Wang En hurriedly said respectfully: "If the general has any orders, go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not hesitate." ”

Liu Xia said: "Now the chief financial secretary of civil affairs is very important, and Benhou can't find a suitable person to serve now, so you can temporarily serve as the chief financial secretary at the same time." If you give up the position of financial secretary to someone else, you really don't feel at ease! ”

Wang En immediately said solemnly: "My subordinates must manage the financial affairs well!" ”

Before the establishment of the Financial Division, Liu Xia's wealth has also been under Wang En's jurisdiction, and now the establishment of the Financial Department has not actually added any burden to Wang En, but once the Financial Department is established, it also means that the financial problems of civil affairs are separated from the military and political aspects, because the financial affairs of the civil affairs are also spent by the Logistics Department.

Liu Xia said calmly: "How much gold and silver is there in the treasury now?" "Although I grabbed a lot of Luoyang homes along the way, and copied a lot of Luoyang big families, this expenditure is also very amazing, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot just to build the Battle Spirit Mausoleum.
