"Thank you, the marquis." Everyone dispersed, and Fang Shaoqun walked to Xu Zixian's side and bowed his hand to this Nan'an Hou.
Not far away, Chen Zuocai and Chen Daojian, who were Si Congcao, were still discussing how to establish the structure of the yamen...... Xu Zi first gave each of the newly established yamen the power to allocate payments, but asked them to draw up a plan first.
For example, where the yamen should be located, how to work on a daily shift, how many officials, how many officials, how many armed personnel, how much money should be paid for daily ministers, how much ordnance should be allocated, and so on, all of these should be planned and discussed.
Si Congcao is estimated to be a larger department, in fact, he is almost the same as Si Wencao, and he is an envoy to Xu Zixian's side.
"Si Wencao's Military Strategy Division, how does Feng Qi plan to structure it?"
"Just choose a group of sour talents like me, and Luotuo scholars." Fang Shaoqun said with a smile: "But you have to read a lot of books, and you can only like miscellaneous studies." ”
"It's not going to work." Xu Zixian said quite seriously: "Fengqi still doesn't understand too much, the importance of the Military Strategy Division. It is not a group of sour talents who help me to guide the country, but to analyze the officials, folk customs, associations, and garrisons according to the residence, military information, local customs, mountains and rivers, and then according to these, draw up a war plan, plan the marching route, logistics and supplies, and send troops. Although the battle is not necessarily fought according to the plan of the Military Strategy Department, the plan of the Military Strategy Department must be the confidence of our troops before we send our troops...... So, Fengqi, do you understand? ”
Before that, Fang Shaoqun thought that he was a leader similar to the Qingke staff, and it was enough to give advice. In fact, he was a little unimpressed with the establishment of such a department, after all, he was extremely conceited, and did not think that finding a group of people with similar experiences to his own would provide more useful insights and ideas.
It was only at this moment that he realized that he had not figured it out.
"I see." Fang Shaoqun thought for a while and said, "Intelligence aggregation, induction, topographic mapping, and drawing up plans can all be divided into departments. Recruit personnel, to be meticulous and meticulous, patient and trivial, preferably years of officials and energetic, literate soldiers, what do the princes think? ”
"Good." Xu Zixian praised: "This is the military strategy department I need, Fengqi talent, draw inferences from one example." ”
Fang Shaoqun smiled and said, "What is the next step for the prince?" ”
Xu Zixian knew that this was the real character in front of him, but he had experienced so much, although he was only a college student in his previous life, but the information he accepted should be far above the person in front of him, Xu Zixian in his previous life was also an extremely smart person, born in a very humble family, or trying to plan his future, after being reincarnated and reborn, the soul of several lives was fused, and he had a further understanding of the world.
He has also experienced a lot in the past year or so, and Fang Shaoqun's words should be difficult for him.
"The matter of military affairs has been ordered to be carried out by Qin Dongyang and others, and Li Zuofu will try his best to adjust the affairs of the Eastern Domain to cooperate. Then there is the matter of industry and commerce and pastures, and the pastures should be burned on the periphery, on guard, and beware of the natives of the high mountains, so they must cooperate with military affairs. Then I waited for Luo Fangbo to send the seeds and horses...... The next step is to recruit skilled craftsmen and transfer the fleet to Penghu and the ports of the Eastern Domain, and then repair large and small ships will be carried out in the Eastern Domain, so as to cultivate the ability of our own craftsmen to repair ships and prepare for the next step of our own shipbuilding......"
The next step, of course, is to expand industry and commerce, expand the scale of the army, naval divisions, and fleets, and form a virtuous circle of development.
Xu Zixian does not need and does not plan to build European-style sailing ships now, because the shipbuilding technology in Europe is only just developing, and its hull is still quite clumsy, and the soft sail technology has not thrown China's hard sails too far.
In the event of a war with the enemy off the coast of China, the stiff sail and the warships of the Fortune were no worse than the European-style sailing ships, and the same was true of the Arab galleons.
Heavy angle of attack, heavy jump, heavy speed, or heavy load of personnel and goods, each has its own channels and space for development, and it cannot be said who is superior and who is inferior.
But in the long run, the speed and wind regulation, the faster and more agile soft sailing boat at sea is the right way to go, as evidenced by centuries of history.
If a large shipbuilding base was formed here in the Eastern Domain, Xu Zixian still hoped that a benign development could be formed, and eventually an invincible maritime force across the seven seas.
This is his hope, his little dream, but also his determination and will.
"Oh, there's one more important thing...... Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Demolish the large houses in the Huaxi area, leave a small shop area and a commercial bank area, as well as a storage area and a barracks area, and split a large number of people into dense settlements......"
Fang Shaoqun nodded and said, "Not by surname, but by random scrambled and split residence?" Then the guards of the Jing'an Division are responsible for the daily security, and the secretary's execution room and household are responsible for the daily criminal trial and the management of production and life? ”
The two glanced at each other, both had a bit of tacit understanding and sneaky feeling, this was a conversation between two smart people, they only had appreciation and a little disdain for each other, and after a while, Xu Zixian and Fang Shaoqun both laughed.
Not far away, Chen Zuocai and Chen Daojian looked back puzzled, but they didn't quite understand, what were the two of them laughing at?
……
In late April, Xiaomei finally cleaned up her belongings in Nan'an's Hou Mansion, and some edicts, edicts, and imperial gifts were also taken away, or sent to Nan'an's courtyard.
The little sister became very busy before the arrival, because in the autumn Chen Wenjun was also going to marry to the Eastern Domain, and there were some last etiquettes Xu Zixian was not available, so he could only entrust his sister to go to the Changwen Marquis Mansion to negotiate, but fortunately, the Hou Mansion also knew that it was now a critical juncture for the Eastern Domain, so he didn't care too much.
Everything in Fuzhou is as usual, and when King Qi died, Fuzhou was greatly shaken, and many people were quite panicked...... In fact, if something was wrong at that time, Fuzhou was indeed very likely to become a battlefield.
Fortunately, it is fortunate that Zhao Wang, Lin Douyao, and Xu Zixian successfully negotiated with each other, and Xu Zixian retained a corner of Nan'an, kept the newly repaired storage area, and a battalion of regimental training protection places, and collected regimental training donations.
Many color-eyed businessmen are definitely dissatisfied with this, but their backstage is the Pu family, and the Pu family is now disgraced, and they are not qualified to intervene in such a topic, so this matter is settled.
For King Zhao, what he wants more is the influence and control of King Qi on the Xiang Army after his death, and the hundreds of thousands of regimental training donations a year are just a small amount of money, and King Zhao will not put it in his eyes.
The forced abandonment of Qizhou Port was the most significant loss for the Nan'an family, but there were losses and gains, and it was quite gratifying to be able to get a complete Eastern Domain to do development.
In mid-April, King Zhao had to pay homage to the Governor and get what he wanted most.
Lin Douyao took over some of the officers and forces of the forbidden army, and King Zhao still fought against each other in the forbidden army, and the two governments had a very tacit understanding, and they had not sent an envoy to the system until now, but Lin Douyao was still the leader of the envoy, which made Lin Douyao able to confront King Zhao in power.
Coupled with Xu Zixian, who took away the Nanyang Naval Division, the current pattern of Fujian Road is that King Zhao's strength is slightly superior, followed by Lin Douyao, and Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian, who joined forces with Changwenhou Mansion, is again.
When the little sister entered Fuzhou City, she was given considerable preferential treatment and care.
There were still a few miles away from the city, and a group of van troops came up to meet them, escorting the chariots and horses into the city of Fuzhou.
On the way from the city gate to the Hou Mansion, a small group of forbidden cavalry rushed over, escorted the convoy straight into the sect street, and only left after entering the Nan'an Hou Mansion.
This kind of courtesy is not something that ordinary people can have, and only a very small number of people will have this kind of over-standard treatment.
And Xiaomei noticed that whether it was pedestrians, forbidden troops, box troops, or officials on patrol, or pedestrians on the road, or those plain-eyed princes and princes in the clan street, there was nothing strange about her over-standard treatment.
Xiaomei has a feeling that all the preferential treatment and courtesy she has received are taken for granted.
In retrospect, when Xu Zixian first rose and returned to Zongmu Street, many aristocratic families did not think so, and there were quite a lot of negative emotions.
Such as jealousy, red-eyedness, even hostility, curses, and so on.
At this moment, although King Zhao is still hostile to Nan'an Hou Mansion, at least on the surface, everyone seems to be equal, polite, and like a good family to each other.
Even when they were waiting to enter the Hou Mansion on Zongmu Street, the convoy of the Jingyuan Hou Mansion happened to pass by, and the Jingyuan Hou Chen Man, his wife, and the two brothers of the Chen family passed by, and when Chen Man and his wife got out of the car, their faces were full of stiffness and unnaturalness when they saw the little sister, and the two brothers of the Chen family were even more embarrassed.
The little sister once had a marriage with the Chen family, and then Xu Zixian took charge of the family and divorced the little sister, which caused a lot of turmoil, but at that time, Xu Zixian had just risen, and was suppressed by King Zhao and Lin Douyao, the Chen family only thought that the Nan'an Hou Mansion was too arrogant, and the brother and sister would lift a stone and hit their own feet, and at that time there were rumors that the Chen family originally looked down on the Nan'an Hou Mansion and was satisfied with the withdrawal of this marriage.
Who would have thought that a year later, the pattern of Fujian Road would have undergone such earth-shaking changes?
Seeing the little sister enter the Hou Mansion, Chen Man glanced at his two sons with hatred, especially the younger son.
If it weren't for the fact that these two idiots had been unable to get along with Xu Zi first, this family business would not have been withdrawn?
The little sister is curling and tingting, her temperament and appearance are excellent, this is not enough, the current Nan'an Hou Mansion, how can it be compared at the beginning? If you get married, the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion can also be completely self-reliant, and Chen Man's father and son don't have to go to King Zhao's Mansion every day to order Mao, and make the same status as the servants of King Zhao's Mansion.
This is not surprising, an empty marquis like Chen Man, the remnants of his ancestors have almost been consumed, and he is a civil lord who cannot be hereditary, and he has no connections and affection in the clan, if it is not for the fact that he wants to pull a marquis out to make a strong appearance, King Zhao is really not interested in the Chen family.
Chen's wife looked at the figure of the little sister, and said with some jealousy and expectation: "This little girl is really not bad, can she still be?" ”
"Don't think about it......" Chen Man said hatefully: "Xu Zixian's kid promised his sister-in-law to the Wei family of Taichang Shaoqing in the south of the city, although he is not engaged, he is almost inseparable." ”
Wei Yi's father resigned a few years ago, and before his resignation, he was sealed as usual, and he was given Taichang Shaoqing, a very noble and high-level position, according to the current strength of the Wei family, he must not be qualified to get this position, and it is obvious that there is a prince and a prince to contribute later.
In Fuzhou, the only one who could influence the court to grant civil official positions was the Changwen Marquis Mansion.
So that things are quite obvious......
The Wei family needs to improve some personalities, so as not to be too incompatible with the Nan'an Hou Mansion.
Although the Wei family is also a civil official family, it is not a good match for the daughter of a clan marquis in a normal year. But now the traces of the troubled times are quite obvious, and the literature is not as good as the martial arts, let alone the clan marquis who has the real power of the army, which is also an obvious thing.
Fortunately, the Wei family is not bad, second only to the Changwen Marquis family with the title, and it is also one of the top civil official families in Fujian.
Wei Yi himself is also angry, he is already a second-class jinshi, and he was awarded to the Penghu Governor, and a clear-eyed person can see at a glance that this is paving the way for Xu Zi to master Penghu first.
The relationship between the two families will be closer, and Wei Yi's status is also quite important, if the family affairs are decided.
"Alas, the world is like chess, who can see the changes after three moves?" Chen Man sighed with rare emotion, he had been in King Zhao's mansion for a long time, and he had seen a lot, seeing that King Zhao was becoming more and more arrogant and domineering, and even no one in his eyes, he deeply felt that not only the court was going to be chaotic, but Fujian Road was also afraid that the wind and rain were coming.
I don't know who will come out to clean up this mess?
Could it really be Xu Zixian, who was pinned on by everyone?
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Man's smile became even more embarrassed.
