By now, the Shence Mansion has already had a number of large and small interest groups.

For a group of people led by Yang Jiong, it is obvious that it is harmful to recruit soldiers and horses on a large scale, and they have indeed begun to have contradictions.

On the one hand, they hope to have more sense of security, and on the other hand, once His Royal Highness the King of Wei is exhausted, it means that a large number of strong men will enlist in the army, and the labor market is only afraid that there will be a shortage.

But on the other hand, there are also people who are quite looking forward to this, many businessmen, engaged in textiles, smelting, once the expansion of the army, it means that His Royal Highness the King of Wei urgently needs a large number of military supplies, there are some materials, although the Shence Mansion itself can supply, but there are many, but they need to buy a lot, which is beneficial to them.

Therefore, Qin Shaoyou's expansion of the army, but there was a lot of trouble in the council hall, the supporters strongly supported it, and those who opposed it strongly opposed, Yang Jiong can understand Qin Shaoyou's situation very well, and now, the contradiction has become clear, if His Royal Highness does not take precautions, what will happen in the future?

Once something happens, it is very likely that even the pot will be smashed, and if the army is not expanded, everything will come to naught.

There are naturally short-sighted people, but Yang Jiong is not short-sighted, he finally decided to help Qin Shaoyou lobby everywhere and persuaded many people.

After half a month, the council hall finally expressed its support, and this support was extremely important to Qin Shaoyou.

The so-called people's will in this era, of course, has nothing to do with ordinary ordinary people, Henan Mansion and even the entire five towns, on the surface, are more respectful to people than the imperial court and other towns, but it is limited to this. The people here refer to the energetic people in this society, both businessmen and scholars, and the government wants to do anything, if it can get their support, it can get twice the result with half the effort, and once it is forcefully implemented, regardless of any consequences, then it will inevitably cause a backlash.

Yang Jiong. Now in Qin Shaoyou's mind, he is even more important than Wang Ju, because this person's identity and status are extraordinary, and most importantly, he can always mediate relations for Qin Shaoyou, so that many issues that were originally contrary to the scholars and giants finally get their support.

Yang Jiong's problem is finalized, then the next thing is Zheng Rong's place, Zheng Rong's Five Military Mansions is much easier. After all, the heroes there were completely suppressed, and the five towns almost became a paradise for the giants and scholars of Henan Prefecture, and almost all the decrees were tilted towards these people. As a result, a large number of people poured in, filling the vacancy of the former wealthy families.

The heroes of the five towns are no longer able to organize a rebellion at this time, a group of rich landowners. met those giants in Henan Mansion who were worth millions of dollars at every turn, as well as those scholars who had connections up to Kyushu, plus the support of His Royal Highness King Wei. The favoritism of the government, the Shence Army and the Five Military Battalions are eyeing each other, and they can hardly play any tricks, so many families are weakened, and some people simply sell Zhuangzi and find another way out.

Zheng Rong entered Luoyang on the eighth day of March, from Weizhou to Luoyang, it is quite convenient to take the waterway, it only takes two or three days to arrive, this time to Luoyang, the helmsman of the Five Military Mansions, but the mood has completely changed.

In the past, Zheng Rong, although he was a servant, thought about his family and country every day, but more often, he was bound by too many things, the court of Chang'an was like an undeveloped forest, full of thorns, and it could even be said that it was difficult to move an inch, but if you want to do anything, there are endless obstacles to stop you, Zheng Rong is like a person who has tied his hands and feet, seeking his own actions in the cracks.

Although the Fifth Military Government was small, with no more than 31 prefectures under its jurisdiction, Zheng Rong found that there were more things here than the more than the more than 300 prefectures under the jurisdiction of the DPRK.

The imperial court in Chang'an is actually a ******, and it doesn't have much to do, nothing more than to give relief to the victims, transfer soldiers and horses, or make a fuss about the appointment and dismissal of officials. In fact, no matter at any time, in all dynasties, the imperial court is 'inaction', not that this is the national policy of the ruler, but because of the current organizational conditions, if you want to do something, you can't get it.

But the Five Military Mansions are completely different, here, he really has too many places to do, the state cities of the states continue to expand, a large number of people began to pour in, merchants want to build some workshops, so ...... There is a need to build bridges and pave roads, canals everywhere need to be managed and dredged, and docks and cities need to be connected.

In addition, many workshops, most of which are involved in cotton spinning, are very easy to cause fires, once an accident occurs, if left unchecked, it may burn down half of the city overnight, so in order to prevent it, it is necessary to have special fire extinguishers. Because the population of the various state towns has increased, and the concentration of the three religions and nine streams has inevitably caused problems of public order, and the original errand service has been stretched to the limit, and it is necessary to recruit special thieves, and the transaction volume of the market is getting larger and larger, and it is no longer possible for ordinary errand servants to be responsible for collecting taxes, but to hire special tax collectors.

The entire process of the Fifth Military Government is actually specialization.

The original yamen structure, at this time had to be all dispersed, the previous imperial court's errand sources, except for a part of the full-time, the vast majority, are the strong men who serve the service, these people in the past, but can barely be competent for some things, but now, whether it is to catch theft, extinguish fires, collect taxes, documents, repair bridges and roads, dredge rivers, build water conservancy, register household registration, receive merchants, coordinate transactions in the center, calculate money and grain, and so on, those illiterate strong men, almost incompetent.

Only specialized talents can do these things well. Therefore, the errand officers of the Five Military Governments have been directly recruited from the Taiping School, and the talents who have learned law, arithmetic, Ming Jing, and water conservancy are almost as many as they want. The personnel who caught thieves and extinguished fires were simply transferred from the retired personnel of the Shence Army.

However, it is obviously impossible for these people who have read the books to requisition you directly, as they were in the past, and can be summoned with a little ration.

Therefore, it is inevitable to give a reasonable remuneration.

Under such circumstances, the Fifth Military Government followed the example of the Shence Mansion and began to formulate a salary system for officials, with the first class officials receiving monthly money and the second class officials receiving money, a total of nine ranks. From the initial monthly consistent 200 yuan, to the highest monthly thirteen yuan, it is all up to you to boil your own qualifications and take your time.

This expense alone is enough to make Zheng Rong's flesh hurt, thirty-one prefectures, more than one hundred counties, nearly 30,000 officials are recruited, these 30,000 people, the monthly salary, a year. But nearly one million guan money is missing, plus other expenses, a full two million guan is gone.

But...... The advantages are also obvious, the specialization of the yamen, to a certain extent, has greatly improved the efficiency, in the past, most of the taxes were levied by those errand servants, but the efficiency was outrageously low. A few people who can count, plus a large group of illiterate people, want to levy money and grain from a county, and the result can be imagined? And specialized tax collectors. Almost all of them are arithmetic experts recruited from Taiping Arithmetic, and all kinds of accounts are clear, and there is no ambiguity in checking the accounts, and it has been a year. Although the amount of tax has not increased, the amount of tax collected has nearly doubled.

And the capture recruited from among the veterans. Obviously, it is also very efficient, in the past, most of the errand soldiers were recruited locally in the township, the villagers, many things could not be managed at all, so crimes were frequent, plus these people had no combat effectiveness at all, even if they were given guns and sticks, once they met the people who gathered together, they could only flee in the wilderness, but now the arrest is completely different, there are only one hundred and twenty people in Weizhou, but the efficiency is extremely high, often a few people, you can be alone, ordinary splashes to see, and can only detour.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Rong found that this money was indeed not spent in vain, because often the decrees he promulgated can always be effectively implemented, no longer like other places, no matter how repeated orders, in the end they are repeatedly banned, the government wants to govern, it is indispensable to rely on the local wealthy families, and the wealthy families have their own ghosts, intertwined, you toss me and I toss you, but things can't be done, most of the time, the magistrates have to worry about the labor to settle the relationship between the families.

The five towns and thirty-one prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Five Military Governments have begun to have some changes now, because of the emergence of novelties, so they have a little more vitality than before, and Weizhou City is the most obvious, which is enough to make Zheng Rong feel some pride.

He knew in his heart that from now on, he no longer had to worry about the affairs of the Zheng family, the Zheng family and this new policy had been tied together, and the King of Wei had also been tied together, everyone was prosperous and lost, and what he had to do now was to rely on his previous experience, and then absorb a lot of knowledge from his staff, and then use his own fists and feet to govern one side, so that this barren Five Military Mansion would become a place of ointment.

It is said that this expansion of the army means that the funding given by the Shence Mansion to the Five Military Mansions will be greatly reduced next year, which makes Zheng Rong very worried.

However, he knew the thoughts of His Royal Highness King Wei, since King Wei had made a decision, it was naturally impossible to shake it, and besides, he was originally from Chang'an, and the thoughts of the Wei family, he naturally knew that sooner or later, the two sides would tear their faces, so it seemed reasonable to prepare early.

Since he came, of course, he was still for his Fifth Army Mansion, and he could not oppose Qin Shaoyou's army expansion, and he still had to come for this reason.

The Wei Wangfu is a prominent building in Luoyang, and a street near here is a five-step, one-sentry, ten-step and one-post. Because the current King of Wei has taken over too many things, there are people who come to see him every day, so it is not easy to see Qin Shaoyou.

Fortunately, Zheng Rong is not an ordinary person after all, after being reported, he was immediately specially entertained and introduced into a small hall in the Wei Palace, but after staying for a while, Qin Shaoyou came in with a smile: "Zheng Shizhong, don't come unharmed, it seems to be emaciated, what's the matter, Weizhou is not good?" ”

Zheng Rong hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness has seen Your Highness." Immediately, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Weizhou is not bad, although it is not as good as Chang'an Luoyang, but in the eyes of the lower officials, it is also a good place, and the lower officials are quite accustomed to it." ”

Qin Shaoyou smiled, his eyes fell on him, he knew that Zheng Rong was a busy man, and he was afraid that his daily affairs would not be less than Wang Ju, but this time he came quickly, of course, he couldn't have come to greet him.

Just because whether it is the Shence Mansion or the Five Military Mansions, no matter how big or small, whether it is Qin Shaoyou, Wang Ju, Zheng Rong, or these people, they have gradually developed the habit of getting straight to the point.

Eventually...... Or is the environment changing, so Qin Shaoyou has already found that Zheng Rong is a little impatient, so he simply goes straight in: "I don't know if Zheng Shizhong is here this time, what do you have to say?" ”

Zheng Rong breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't stay here for too long, he had to go back to his house tomorrow, in addition to seeing Qin Shaoyou, he also wanted to meet some people from big commercial houses, in addition, he also needed to communicate with Wang Ju of Shence Mansion and Yang Jiong of the council hall, he was afraid that Qin Shaoyou would talk to him, if he didn't finish talking, I don't know how much he would have to delay.

After the hanging needle was written, it was a strange illness, and it was fine after hanging the bottle, and when I got up from sleep, I began to have a headache and feel uncomfortable again. (To be continued.) )
