In the next few days, Li Xin basically spent the coming to visit a group of ministers of civil and military affairs. After all, he is not an emperor, so naturally everyone does not have to enter the palace together to pay New Year's greetings at the specified time. After this, the Huashan Army officially started work again.

Although the weather is still cold, many things are about to be arranged. Especially farming, this is the most important thing at all times, especially for today's Huashan Army, it can't be neglected.

Last year, there was a series of wars, so that what was supposed to be a bumper harvest year, in the end, there was not much surplus food left in the warehouse. After counting the seeds distributed to various places, this warehouse is about to bottom out.

Although the Department of Commerce has always spared no effort to purchase grain from Jiangzuo, Sichuan and Shu, it has always been a drop in the bucket. After all, the distance is too far, and even if there is no one in the middle, the cost of shipping it back is very high.

At the end of the day, you're on your own. Otherwise, it is equivalent to tying your own life ~ root to someone else's hands, if it really comes to a critical time, it will be fatal.

The first meeting in the General's Mansion after the year was about this matter.

"After the beginning of spring, what are the arrangements of the household department?" This time, Li Xin directly asked the responsible persons of various departments by name.

"According to the plan formulated before, the first thing is to go down to check the acres of land, especially to see if the fields that have been divided are fully utilized. Another is that for those places where there may be some disasters, seeds and grains should be distributed as soon as possible, so that they can keep up with the agricultural time! This year, in addition to food, another focus is to count the population, so that the household registration of each county can be established! Hearing the question, Xu Fuzi hurriedly stood up and bowed before he said.

"Well, it's pretty detailed! That's right, but there is one thing, as I told you before the Chinese New Year, you should come up with a charter as soon as possible for the collection of taxes at various checkpoints. Find a way to minimize the time spent on business travel without losing tax revenue, especially to solve the problem of double taxation! There are a lot of things that are missing in our gates, so that the merchants can make it profitable, and they will bring things to us from other places! This is something that you should keep in mind! After thinking for a while, Li Xin nodded and said.

"Yes, after the lower official went back, he immediately arranged for someone to deal with this matter! In addition, this year, the government-run workshops will be expanded, especially some of the best-selling products, which will increase production! To this end, we will look for another workshop in other counties in Guanzhong, after all, there are more and more people in Chang'an City, and the workshop covers too much space, and it may not be able to expand better in the future! Xu Fuzi said again.

"You can plan this matter yourself, and then send the relevant official documents to you! What are the plans of the Ministry of Officials this year? This is a trivial matter, so Li Xin didn't plan to ask in detail, turned his head to look at Wang Meng, and asked.

"Yes! This year, the Ministry of Officials will focus on assessing the performance of officials in various localities, and in particular, in cooperation with the Ministry of Households, strengthen supervision over the process of using public funds by officials in various localities, and strive to ensure that every penny is used on the right path! In addition, the most important thing is to inspect the scribes and officials in the county government offices, so as to promote some talents from them and enrich the counties! Wang Meng stood up and replied.

"Talent is very important, since the establishment of our Huashan Army, this problem has been with us! This is a very good practice of the officials, if there are real talents among those small officials, don't care what their qualifications are, and don't care what positions they have done in the past! As long as the character is qualified, and it is not a person with ill intentions for the Huashan Army, it can be promoted and appointed! Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but nod and said.

"Then there are some revisions to the official system, as well as a series of things related to etiquette and regulations, such as official uniforms and regulations! There are no rules, no rules, whether it is an official document or an order, it must be in accordance with the rules, which is also a major thing that the officials will do this year! Wang Meng continued.

Although Li Xin formulated an official system, his official system was relatively rough, because only the county order was too guarded by the county master book, and the army was more detailed. However, some detailed settings of the county government and the county guard office and even the six departments were not written.

After all, Li Xin is not a god, and even if he has a reference, it is impossible for him to formulate this system alone. He took the lead in formulating a rough outline, and then Wang Meng led the officials to complete it, and according to the old system of the previous dynasties, it was possible to come up with a suitable official system.

This is a very important thing for the long-term development of the Huashan Army, and only after the system is sorted out, especially after all aspects are considered clearly, can we truly perform our duties.

Today's Huashan Army is not very large, and compared to the territory, this regime is really small enough. Not to mention anything else, just like in the time of Fu Qin, the territory is similar to the current Huashan Army, but they have a lot more officials.

Of course, this is also related to Fu Jian's claim to be the emperor! Although Li Xin is only a big general now, a set of shelves still has to be built after all.

"Excellent! Does the military department have any plans for this year? Nodding, Li Xin asked He Feng, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"The main thing is to follow last year's plan, first, to arrange the soldiers in various places in place, and the army that was not fully staffed before will be completed this year! In addition, it is necessary to register all assets in the army, including soldiers, weapons, armor, horses, military warehouses, chariots, etc., and the task of registering and making a register must be completed! In addition, the formulation of soldiers' salaries and the system of rewards and punishments for bereavement pensions should also be established! As well as increasing the workshops of the Ordnance Division, increasing the production of ordnance, and at the same time reserving a batch of military funds! He Feng stood up and said respectfully.

"Well, soldiers, the great affairs of the country are also! This is especially true for us! The stability of the army is related to the life and death of our Huashan army, and we must not be cautious! You have to do all these things well! Furthermore, the army's rotation system, we must consider it, and we can't let soldiers stay in one place for a long time! Every once in a while, they have to come home and have a look! Li Xin didn't have much objection to this plan, but he still added a point.

Sending soldiers home to visit their relatives is something that is not done anywhere else, and this is a measure that only came in later generations. Li Xin learned it and moved it to the Huashan Army.

In ancient times, once a soldier enlisted, he would be in the army for almost all the years, and when he met a better emperor, he would occasionally quit his military service and release some of his soldiers home. But when he met the harsh emperor, he worked to death almost as soon as he joined the army.

In fact, it is not difficult to take a holiday, but the ancient emperors often took into account many other factors. For example, people don't come back after they leave, there are often wars at the border gates, and no one wants to be stationed at the border fortress, etc.

Therefore, they were reluctant to give their soldiers a holiday, as it might jeopardize their rule.

But Li Xin thinks differently, first of all, if the situation is chaotic today, he is still peaceful in this level. Therefore, if those soldiers really escaped, it can only show that they have not done enough, and it is also a warning to themselves.

Furthermore, where can they flee? Either they went into the mountains and fell into the grass, or they were captured and served as soldiers in other places. Li Xin can say that his Huashan Army is the best-treated army in the world, and no one will be stupid enough to leave here to serve as a soldier elsewhere, unless he has two hearts.

Another important reason is that many of the soldiers are now people in the area of Guanzhong Hedong and Qinlong. Many people still have their parents and brothers at home, so if they go home, they can see what life is going on at home.

The people were all given the land, and there was no disaster last year, so the people are doing well. After the soldiers see the situation of their own family, they will serve with more peace of mind, and at the same time, it can also allow some young people who have not started a family to seize the opportunity to start a family or something!

In this way, it is also an important livelihood measure for all localities under its rule. Breed the population! Of course, there are many more benefits in this, so there is no way to go into such detail. In short, He Feng and the others should slowly appreciate the benefits in the future.

"The lower official should keep it in mind and immediately let people formulate a detailed plan!" He Feng hurriedly responded.

"Hmmm! Does the Ministry of Industry have any new initiatives this year? Li Xin bowed slightly, and then asked Lao Ma.

"The main things this year are, firstly, for the new construction and repair of cities, passes, roads, rivers, bridges, etc. The second is to increase the mining of iron ore and other minerals in various places, and at the same time, increase the amount of iron and salt tickets, so that agricultural tools and other things can be increased on the market! The point is to ensure that there are no problems in the production of the Ordnance Division! In addition, the mining of coal may be increased and the proportion of its application in workshops may be increased. At the same time, recruit more craftsmen and encourage them to develop more new products! The old horse replied, getting up.

"That's pretty much it! Many of the affairs of your Ministry of Industry are related to people's livelihood, and you must be cautious, especially the rivers, cities, and bridges, and you must find professional and capable people to be responsible. Otherwise, something will go wrong at the critical moment, and don't blame me for not warning me in advance! Hearing this, Li Xin pondered for a moment and said lightly.

The project is a big deal, it is a matter of many lives, and Li Xin doesn't want his subordinates to make a bunch of tofu scum out. When the time comes, if something goes wrong, it will not be one or two lives, but dozens or even thousands of lives.

"Please rest assured, the general must be strictly sure that he will not dare to make any mistakes!" The old horse's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly responded. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Eastern Jin Dynasty Tang Wang's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
