The personnel department is undoubtedly the busiest, with the expansion of the territory, in order to carry out fine management, it is necessary to have enough manpower, all kinds of newly trained manpower, directly arranged to the post.

Each prefecture and county is equipped with more than 100 police officers and more than 20 administrative personnel, ranging from the posts of chief secretary and county secretary of the local officials to the posts of cantonment chiefs and regimental training in the townships and towns below.

Zhao Yan personally went to the training site to give lessons to the incoming administrators, and personally told them about the national righteousness and so on.

After listening to Zhao Yan's lecture, these personnel went directly to their posts.

Regardless of whether this lecture is useful or not, Denglai's anti-corruption system is very high-pressure, and there are hundreds of administrative personnel who have been caught.

In such a high-pressure state, there are generally not many people who embezzle. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, after a period of killing, it also put the Ming Dynasty in a relatively clean state in the early and middle periods.

"If you have difficulties with money and food after you take office, you can raise them, and if you are really in difficulty, the bank can provide you with loans. After taking office, remember not to be corrupt, accept bribes, and not to meddle in business activities. If you have no record of corruption before you retire, you will be rewarded with 500 to 2,000 acres of fertile land after retirement. Zhao Yan promised each batch of administrators.

Zhao Yan's promise suddenly exploded among these administrators, 500 to 2,000 acres, which is not a small landlord.

Of course, only those who can maintain integrity before retirement and perform well can get 2,000 acres in advance.

When Zhao Quan heard that Zhao Yan was making promises to those people, he hurriedly ran over to Zhao Yan and said, "Is two thousand acres too much?" If each person gives 2,000 mu, there will be more people in the future, and the land in the whole of Shandong will not be enough. ”

"There are so many places in the Americas, they can choose." Zhao Yan said very generously, "But you still have to pay the tax." ”

"This ......" Zhao Quan couldn't help sweating, the land in the Americas is not very valuable, and it is a question whether these people are willing to go to the land.

Zhao Yan is painting a big pie, a big pie with an imaginary appearance, you must know that the people who are willing to immigrate to the Americas will be given 500 acres of land for one household.

However, in addition to land, the benefits after retirement are quite high.

However, the news spread quickly among the administrators, as if they had grown wings, and for a time their work enthusiasm skyrocketed.

Whether it's for the people or for the sake of profit, as long as you do things well.

The two prefectures of Laizhou and Qingzhou have been swallowed alive at present, and the fortress is also to be built, with a fort every thirty miles, if the enemy attacks, the surrounding people will enter the fort to defend.

After these fortresses are completed, it is almost impossible for anyone to capture the Shandong Peninsula, and Zhao Yan can also be invincible.

The division of land in Qingzhou and Laizhou also began, and each household was given 50 mu of cultivated land, but for the time being, 100 mu was managed first, and after the people from other places were recruited, they were divided equally.

The cattle and horses in each cantonment are managed by special personnel, and the people are responsible for planting clover, corn, and soybeans as fodder, and by the way, they raise chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other livestock.

This is an 'intensive medium labour intensity pastoralism', a development model in which food is not self-sufficient enough and requires food imports from outside, but it is also possible to make full use of the potential of the land to raise the largest number of livestock.

Those horse farms and cattle farms have been relocated to the western areas of Qingzhou and Laizhou, relieving the pressure on the original feed supply, and the expansion of the territory has also allowed the scale of cattle and horses to expand.

At the same time, a horse breeding center was established in Qingzhou, where the European horse breeds brought back by the American fleet were raised and new horse breeds were bred.

These European horses are taller and have a stronger gravity than Mongolian horses, but they are also more demanding to breed and are not as hard-working as Mongolian horses.

The regimental training and guarding officers who were responsible for training the township soldiers arrived in the villages one after another and began to organize the young and strong men of Shandong to carry out the training, and the number of young and strong people swallowed in this trial was about 1.3 million, and the training of these young men was equivalent to having a source of 1.3 million soldiers.

In terms of training for young and strong, cavalry, muskets, and platoons are now the mainstay, and the proportion of pikemen in the army has declined.

The training content is divided into queues, horsemanship, musket shooting, spear stabbing, knife technique, marching, weight-bearing cross-country and commands, after these items are trained, the training into the boot camp becomes simple, as long as it is strengthened on this basis.

Riding and platoon and shooting are the focus of the training, especially riding, which is the most important, and the young men in each cantonment must be trained in riding regularly.

Throughout Shandong, you can see a scene of fierce soldiers and horses.

The Ordnance Bureau is once again working overtime to produce weapons to meet the training needs of the cantonments.

The trading houses began to plan to recruit civilians in Shaanxi, and the two infantry battalions of the Yingzhou Regiment were transferred to defend the supply points set up by the trading houses along the way.

Yingzhou has a large amount of grain, most of which is sweet potatoes, which will be transported to supply points for the people to eat on their way to Shandong.

At the same time, the provincial inspection teams began to vigorously publicize the benefits of going to Tuntian, Shandong, not only giving 50 acres of land, but also tax-free throughout the year, allowing children to go to school and not need money for medical treatment...... Zhu Dadian and Lu Xiangsheng also began to cooperate vigorously.

Such favorable conditions suddenly caused a sensation in Henan, Huguang, Beizhili, Shaanxi, Anhui and other places, and many poor people embarked on the road to Shandong without much consideration, even if Shandong is no worse, it is impossible to be worse than their current situation.

After the firm entered Shaanxi, in just half a month, it recruited more than 200,000 people, and a large number of desperate people heard the news and helped the old and the young to sign up.

Those thieves were also frightened by Shandong's actions, thinking that Zhao Shuxing sent troops and horses into Shaanxi to encircle and suppress, and they were so frightened that they retreated far away.

The actions of the firm and the Yingzhou regiment in Shaanxi attracted the attention of Hong Chengchou, who saw that the people from all over the country were moving to Hancheng one after another, and couldn't help but worry: "If the people all go to Shandong, won't there be no grain output in Qindi, and what will the army and civilians eat?" ”

Hong Chengchou immediately posted a post, prohibiting the people from leaving their hometowns without permission, and at the same time sent officers and soldiers to Hancheng to rob people.

On the same day, thousands of officers and soldiers came to Hancheng and had a fierce clash with the Second Infantry Battalion of the Yingzhou Regiment, and after the Second Infantry Battalion was wounded by two people, the battalion commander immediately ordered to return fire, and stabbed to death more than a dozen Shaanxi officers and soldiers with spears, and the Shaanxi officers and soldiers retreated in embarrassment, and the two sides confronted each other coldly.

Hong Chengchou saw that the 2nd Infantry Battalion was well-equipped and could not be coerced forcibly, so he immediately asked the Shaanxi officials and troops to cut off the rest of the people from coming to Hancheng, and at the same time rushed to report the situation to the Beijing division for 800 li.

The 2nd Infantry Battalion did not dare to make a big deal here, so it could only stay where it was, and the trading house immediately mobilized a large number of ships at the ferry, took advantage of the fact that the Yellow River was not frozen to transport the people away, and urgently reported to Zhaojiabao to ask about the countermeasure.

Zhao Yan received an urgent report in Zhaojiabao and couldn't help frowning.

"Hong Chengchou, this old horseman." Zhao Yan scolded secretly, and hurriedly brought Mao Yuanyi and Liu Heng over to discuss countermeasures. After reading the emergency report, both of them couldn't help frowning.

No one could have imagined that recruiting people in Shaanxi would be blocked by Hong Chengchou.

"Hong Chengchou's heart can be punished, and it is beneficial to trap the people in Qindi?" Liu Heng scolded, Mao Yuanyi thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid Hong Chengchou is afraid that there will be no way to raise grain, Shanxi has embargoed grain to Shaanxi, and Shaanxi is very chaotic, and businessmen don't dare to do business there." ”

"If he has no food, we have so many sweet potatoes here that we can support him to death." Zhao Yan was very angry and said to Liu Heng and Mao Yuanyi: "I want to impeach this old horseman, and the staff will prepare to play a chapter immediately." ”

Liu Heng and Mao Yuanyi were ordered to go to the General Staff Headquarters to draft the chapter, which was soon drafted, stating the various benefits of immigrating to Shandong, as well as the dangers of poor people staying in Shaanxi to become thieves, and impeached Hong Chengchou fiercely.

After reading this recital, Zhao Yan felt very satisfied, so he asked people to send it to Jingshi urgently.

Denglai had its own information transmission system, and the speed of information transmission was much faster than that of the imperial court that had abolished the post station, Zhao Yan's urgent recital had just been sent to Jingshi, and Hong Chengchou's recital had just arrived.

Ten days later, Jingshi sent an approval.

"As a military general, Aiqing is responsible for defending the territory and attacking Liao, and you don't have to ask about the civil affairs of Shaanxi."

This reply made Zhao Yan stunned for a long time, he didn't expect that this kind of thing, which could see the pros and cons at a glance, was vetoed by Chongzhen.

"Why is that?" Zhao Yan asked Liu Heng and Mao Yuanyi puzzled.

"I'm afraid that the Holy Lord has become jealous of the lord and doesn't want the people to come to Shandong to increase our strength." Mao Yuanyi speculated: "And this year, we in Shandong have paid a lot of taxes to the imperial court, and the saint already has enough money and food on hand, probably to organize the next wave of offensive." ”

"Shandong Tian Fu 2 million, another 550,000 more, the Salt Transportation Division handed over 5 million, Dengzhou 3 million, there are already 10.55 million taxes, but the money and grain needed to suppress thieves are sufficient." Liu Heng nodded and said, "For today's plan, we can only let the Second Infantry Battalion and the commercial bank withdraw from Shaanxi." ”

Zhao Yan nodded, and now he can only withdraw.

…… Mao Yuanyi did speculate on Chongzhen's psychology very well. Chongzhen is not blind, Jinyiwei also has secret agents in Shandong, and he already knows about Zhao Yan's land lease.

He was already deeply jealous of Zhao Yan's strength. It's good for the people of Shaanxi to move to Shandong, if these people go to the Shandong Peninsula, wouldn't they send Zhao Yan a source of soldiers?

Chongzhen still has a trust in Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yan's strength has exceeded the warning line of trust, and sometimes Chongzhen doesn't know how to deal with Zhao Yan's problem.

At this time, Chongzhen had plenty of money, and Wen Tiren began to draft a new round of plans to encircle and suppress the thieves.

As long as the thieves are extinguished, it doesn't matter if they emigrate or not.

At the same time, Chongzhen also has a plan in his heart, the reform of Shandong let him change, as long as there is silver to hand over, the court can exterminate the thieves with silver, and when the customs are stable, the court can free up its hands.

The most important thing is the issue of the imperial court's free hands, as long as the imperial court has its free hands, everything is not a problem, even if it is him Zhao Yan......
