This time, the recruitment of scholars has been much smoother than last time. In just a few days, as many as seventy www.biquge.info or eighty scholars came to interview.

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that there were also four talented people from the Eastern Confucian Academy, who also secretly came to vote. Li Xiao secretly thought that if Cui Gongxuan, the head of the Eastern Confucian Academy who had always hated him, knew, he would be angry and crooked his nose.

The leader of these four talents is Liu Anhe, who has a handsome face and looks a little like the drama of later generations. ”

Li Xiao welcomed with a smile, and in the subsequent interview, Liu Anhe's good words and modest and quiet performance impressed Li Xiao very deeply.

What makes Li Xiao happiest is that the current Li Xiaojun is becoming more and more famous, and the Chifeng Fort, which has been built on the city wall, is like an excellent self-introduction business card. Among the scholars who came for the interview this time, most of them came to admire, so not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality, they are also quite good, there are many people with real talents and real learning, and the likes of charlatans are almost extinct.

Li Xiao recruited more than 60 people, and at the same time, Li Xiaojun's various departments were expanded and adjusted accordingly.

According to Li Xiao's plan, in addition to the original Department of Civil Affairs, Commerce, and Security, Li Xiaojun has also set up a new Department of Supervision and Care, a Department of Money and Grain, a Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and a Department of Industry.

Its personnel arrangements and functions are as follows:

The Civil Affairs Department is responsible for the registration and inspection of the people in the fort, the registration of births and deaths, the handling of disputes between local people, and the maintenance of public order, and the 20-person public security brigade in the fort is also managed by the Civil Affairs Division.

The Department of Commerce manages the commercial shops opened in Chifeng Fort, including the registration, supervision, and collection of taxes on the shops.

The Department of Industry is in charge of the operation of the factory in Quanbao, and there are three factories in the quarry, lime factory, and brick factory in Squatting Dog Mountain, which need to be managed. Due to Li Xiao's current industrial model, which is basically the nature of a state-owned enterprise in later generations, the Industrial Department is mainly responsible for the production planning, communication and coordination, material distribution, product statistics and other things of each factory. Of course, in the future, the Department of Industry will also collect taxes on all kinds of factories.

The Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is responsible for the production, management and planning of all farmland and pastures in Chifeng Fort, as well as the future land reclamation and use. Now that Li Xiao's army has captured more than 300 war horses, the original stables are no longer able to accommodate them, so the focus of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Department is now to build a simple small pasture outside the fort to raise military horses. As for the development of agricultural production, due to the small territory owned by Li Xiaojun, it will not be considered for the time being. In Li Xiao's vision, if there are seafood projects in Chifeng Fort in the future, it will also be temporarily under the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.

The Money and Grain Division is responsible for the management, statistics, storage, distribution and use of grain, money and materials in Chifeng Fort. is an extremely important department to deal with with all the other departments.

The above five divisions all belong to economic and people's livelihood institutions, and the following supervision and care departments and security departments are completely government supervision institutions.

The Supervision and Restoration Department was responsible for the distribution of salaries and salaries of soldiers, the examination of military merits, the training of sergeants, the monitoring and assistance of generals, and the reporting of troop movements, which was an important means for Li Xiao to fully control the army.

The Security Department investigates intelligence in various places, reconnoites whether there is detailed infiltration within the country, the movements of various generals and officials, and understands the ideological dynamics of the people in their own territory, which can only be carried out in secret.

The personnel arrangements of each department are as follows:

Xu Xiuqing, director of the Department of Civil Affairs, has a total of 4 people in the department, including a chief officer, a deputy, and two officials.

The director of the Department of Commerce was Liu Anhe, who was greatly admired by Li Xiao, and Wu Liang, the former director of the Department of Commerce, was reappointed to the more important position of director of the Department of Money and Grain. There is also a deputy and two officials.

During the interview, Li Xiao found that this person was very good at arithmetic and rigorous in his work, but he was the best candidate to serve as the director of the Department of Industry. There is also a deputy and two officials.

Li Xiao learned that this person was honest, and he was born in a peasant family, was familiar with crops, and liked agronomy. It is also equipped with one deputy and two officials.

The director of the Money and Grain Department, the lifeblood department of Li Xiao's army, is naturally served by Wu Liang, who is Li Xiao's most trusted, and its organization is set up as a chief officer, a deputy, and four officials. Of course, because the storage and distribution of money and grain is extremely important, Li Xiao decided that as long as he is free, he will always supervise and manage the money and grain department.

Because this department is extremely important, and because of the large number of scholars recruited this time, Li Xiao decided that the following supervisors will be sent from 1 person per team to 3 people per team to better manage and supervise the generals and soldiers, so that among the spear and shield soldiers, there are 27 supervisors, 2 people each for the Xuanhu Cavalry and Flying Harriers, 2 people for the artillery unit, 2 people for the fire team, and 2 people for the sailors. Including Guan Yi, there are a total of 36 people, which is the largest number of people in Li Xiaojun.

Huang Bao was the director of the security department, because Huang Bao's identity was exposed because of Jiang Zun's rebellion, so Li Xiao decided not to let him serve as the captain of the first squad of spearmen, and his post was taken over by others, so as to be responsible for the relevant work of the security department. Now in the division, there are 20 members including the deputy director who have been reviewed by Li Xiao. Among these people, there are 2 scholars and other clerks, who are responsible for file sorting and document writing, and the rest are all people with all kinds of uneducated people recruited by Huang Bao and Li Xiao. Li Xiao also has a very strict control over the Security Division, and Li Xiao must also firmly control this sharp weapon used in the dark.

The remaining more than ten scholars who have not been arranged, Li Xiao arranged all of them as reserve talents, and temporarily served as a teacher for children in the fort, and then added to the army after Li Xiaojun expanded.

After the staffing was completed, Li Xiao set a salary standard for them, with a monthly salary of 8 taels for each director, 6 taels for deputy directors, and 2 taels for officials and teachers.

Wu Liang was praised in front of the army, and the original salary was 10 taels, because he was also in charge of the Money and Food Department, Li Xiao gave him a monthly salary of 12 taels per month, one to highlight his status, and the other to make him more conscientious.

Guan Yi, deputy director of the Supervision and Pacification Department, due to his heavy responsibilities, Li Xiao also gave him a monthly treatment of 8 taels, Guan Yi was even more grateful, and secretly vowed to work better to repay Li Xiao's kindness.

Subsequently, Li Xiao held a unified meeting for all the public officials who joined the company, and in addition to emphasizing that they should do their due diligence, he also exhorted with a serious expression that if anyone is superficial, cheating, cheating, or even corrupt, they will be severely punished and will not be spared.

Li Xiao was originally worried that after the Supervision Department arranged to join the army, he might be resisted and excluded by the generals in a short period of time. As a result, I didn't expect that after the arrangement of the Supervision and Rehabilitation Department, due to the clever propaganda of the deputy director Guan Yi, the Supervision and Punishment Department was molded into the maintainer and supervisor of order in the army, and the result was quite popular with the soldiers and soldiers, and the daily training and drills were more dedicated, which made the generals worry a lot, so that the generals who had doubts about the Supervision and Punishment Department slowly began to get used to the operation of the Supervision and Punishment Division.

This management model established by Li Xiao finally had a preliminary prototype and began to operate smoothly. With the beginning of the operation of various departments, the operation and management of the entire Chifeng Fort have become more orderly and orderly.

Li Xiao knew in his heart that in fact, this was an inevitability, because this set of government models that imitated the establishment of modern society was really much beyond this era, and it was much more advanced than the sparse and backward government management methods of the Ming Dynasty.

After the completion of this series of work, Li Xiao then asked Tian Wei and Wang Yishou to go to various places to recruit displaced people, and the tentative quota of 800 displaced soldiers to be recruited made so that Li Xiaojun could expand again.

In the evening of spring, Li Xiao and Liu Anhe, director of the Department of Commerce, took a walk outside the fort.

Xiucai Liu Anhe sighed: "Li Tongzhi's institutional division, classification and clarity, each performing its own duties, is really refreshing. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "This official has read Han Feizi's "Five Worms" and remembers a passage in it vividly. Today, there is a structure of wood drilled in the world of the Xia Hou clan, will be a smile for Kun Yu; Those who are determined to desecrate the world of Yin Zhou will laugh at Tang Wu. However, those who have the ways of Meiyao, Shun, Tang, Wu, and Yu in today's world will be laughed at by the new saints. It is a saint who is not expected to be ancient, lawlessness is often allowed, and the things of the world are discussed, because they are prepared. It can be seen that the ancients all had such a forward-looking and seeking the present with such thoughts, how dare we, who are politicians, not take this as a warning? The only way to keep pace with the times and take precautions is to do so. ”

Liu Anhe also laughed, and he said in an admiring tone: "Now I want to use the politics of the previous kings to be the people of the world, and they are all guarding the plant and so on. It's a pity that among my Ming officials, there are too many people who don't do practical things, if I am in the Ming Dynasty, the officials are as diligent and good as Lord Li, how can I be as in crisis as today. ”

Li Xiao put away his smile and said with a solemn face: "An He, in fact, the reason why my Chifeng Fort's various plans can be successfully realized is because this place is deserted, sparsely populated, and there are not too many conflicts of interest. Since there is no dispute, my various ideas and arrangements can be implemented smoothly all the way. In the opinion of this official, it is not that I am not without talents, nor is it that no one thinks of immediately improving the status quo, but this kind of reform involves the interests of too many people, and there are all kinds of obstructions and entanglements, which makes the reform finally aborted and cannot be implemented. And this is also the most regrettable and helpless place in my Ming Dynasty. ”

Liu Anhe nodded and said, "The opinion of the adults is very reasonable. The students were thinking that it was a good thing that we could not change others, but that we could start with ourselves. ”

Li Xiao said with a smile: "What An He said, this sincere official's wish is also." ”

The two talked eloquently, the evening breeze was light, and the golden sunset stretched the figures of the two people very long.

After Li Xiao returned to the fort, Wu Liang walked quickly with a letter in his hand, and reported to Li Xiao with a solemn face: "My lord, a messenger has sent this letter, saying that it is a letter specially sent to you by Li Maofang, the governor of Shandong. ”

Li Xiao looked stunned, this Shandong governor Li Maofang, but he had never known himself in his life, why did he have a letter here, but it was strange.

Li Xiao didn't say a word, opened the letter and took a quick look, and his face gradually became dignified.
