079 Stabilizing the Empire
Chen Jingui's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Are we going to attack Mindanao?" That's great! ”
Lin Fei laughed jokingly: "What's good? When we go to attack Mindanao, we will definitely need to transfer a lot of supplies, and the transfer of materials is the business of your logistics department, and you will be busy when the time comes. ”
Chen Jingui said with a smile: "The more work you do, the more money you make, and I am willing to work more." ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "You kid don't use any crooked ideas to make money, if you dare to put public money into your pocket, I will definitely shoot you!" ”
Chen Jingui hurriedly said: "I don't dare! ”
Lin Fei said a few words, asked Chen Jingui to go back, and then began to make preparations before the expedition, the most important thing in this is to stabilize the interior of the Chinese Empire.
In terms of politics, Lin Fei divided the Chinese Empire into three provinces, Samar Island, Leyte Island and Surigao Province, and the towns where various tribes were originally inhabited were divided into cities, and many Filipino peasants lived around the towns, who lived relatively concentrated, so Lin Fei divided their concentration areas into various villages.
The area of Samar Island is more than 10,000 square kilometers, the area of Leyte Island is more than 7,000 square kilometers, and the Surigao region is also more than 3,000 square kilometers, and the area is not small.
Therefore, Lin Fei called Feng Mingcheng, the minister of transportation and an expert in road construction, and asked him to build roads from Yanhuangcheng and Chiyou City to various cities and villages, and told him that these roads should be connected into a road network, and with the road network, the central government's decree and army can come from day to night.
Feng Mingcheng was a little embarrassed and said, "City Lord, to build these roads, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower. ”
Lin Fei said: "In the process of building the road, you will recruit people in the local area, and the big work will be handed over to the Filipinos to do, and the Chinese are only responsible for management and technology, and several tribal leaders on Leyte Island are very afraid of me and dare not disobey my orders, and the same is true in the Surigao area, you can go with the police force, and you don't have to be afraid of anything with the backing of force." ”
The police force is a force led by the Ministry of Public Security, this force is composed of Chinese, these Chinese originally wanted to join the army, but Lin Fei made it clear that the army only recruited 1260 people for the time being, so many Chinese were turned away, so Lin Fei organized them into a police force, responsible for the internal security of the Chinese Empire, and equipped them with Mauser M1893 rifles eliminated by the army.
Feng Mingcheng nodded in agreement, and Lin Fei asked, "Are all the materials for building roads enough?" ”
Feng Mingcheng said: "There are a lot of rocks in the Philippines, and you can fire cement according to your method, so the materials are sufficient. ”
Lin Fei asked Feng Mingcheng to prepare, and then began to count the number of cities and villages, there were originally two tribes on Samar Island, and he established Yanhuang City and Chiyou City on the basis of these two tribes, there were ten tribes on Leyte Island, and ten cities were established, and there was a Bazahai City in the Surigao region, and a city was established, and there were thirteen cities in total, and there were forty rural areas around these cities, that is to say, he needed fifty-three grassroots political powers to firmly control these areas.
The 53 grassroots governments all need people to lead, but there is a shortage of people under their own hands, although there are many craftsmen, but there are no talents to manage the local government, where to find these people?
Lin Fei thought about it again and again, called an attendant, and said, "Go and call Chen Fu." ”
After a short time, Chen Fu came happily and asked with a smile, "Is the city lord going to let me go shopping again?" ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "It's not a thing that I bought this time, it's a person!" ”
Chen Fu smiled evilly and said, "Are you buying a beautiful woman?" ”
Lin Fei stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, and scolded with a smile: "What is in this little head?" I don't buy women! Let me ask you, have you ever seen a scholar in Taiwan who failed to pass the imperial examination? ”
Chen Fu nodded and said, "Of course there are, quite a few!" ”
Lin Fei said: "That's good, you don't have to go to attack Mindanao this time, go to Taiwan and recruit these people for me." ”
Chen Fu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you recruiting these people for?" ”
Lin Fei said: "I need managers of grassroots political power, and I recruited these people to do this. ”
Chen Fu said with a smile: "City Lord, you think too well, these people are all reading the Four Books and Five Classics, their heads are very pedantic, and they are depressed on weekdays, if you get them to be officials, they will definitely be grateful for your kindness, and they will definitely be loyal to you." ”
Lin Fei nodded and said: "Those traditional literati have always attached great importance to the grace of knowledge, and they will indeed be loyal to me to the death, but they have the idea of leaving their homeland in their hearts, and you have to think about some ideas if you want to bring them." ”
Chen Fu smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely have a way to get them." ”
Lin Fei said: "Then you hurry up and prepare, and when you are ready, you will set off, remember, how many such people get them, and I will let them be teachers." ”
Chen Fu said goodbye, Lin Fei found Li Ming again, and said to him: "Lao Li, now I don't have enough manpower, you can be my minister of public security." ”
Li was stunned for a moment and said, "City Lord, it's too boring to be the Minister of Public Security, aren't you going to attack Mindanao?" How can I say that I am also the chief of the General Staff, so I can't help but follow. ”
Lin Fei said with a smile: "I let you stay in the Chinese Empire, so that you can lead the police force to set up grassroots police stations in the countryside of the empire, these police stations must maintain local law and order on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must carry out assimilation education. ”
Li Ming thought about it, agreed, agreed to be the Minister of Public Security, and led the police force into various villages, Lin Fei asked him to go back to prepare, and Li Ming said goodbye.
After Lin Fei dealt with the political affairs, he began to deal with the economic affairs, if a country wants to stabilize the country, the economy must first stabilize the economy, only when everyone is well fed and clothed, no one will think of rebellion.
Lin Fei asked Chiyo Mika to come, and when Lin Fei came back today, Chiyo Mika didn't come to greet him like Ling Xue, and he was not surprised, because there were a lot of things in the central bank, Chiyo Mika might not be able to pull away, and when Chiyo Mika walked in, Lin Fei suddenly found that Chiyo Mika's eyes were faintly tear-stained, as if she had just cried.
Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "Meixiang, what's wrong with you?" Who bullied you? ”
Chiyo Mika heard Lin Fei's question and sobbed quietly, and said while crying, "No...... Nothing ......."
Lin Fei frowned, and said sharply: "It's nothing to cry like this!" What the hell is going on? ”
Chiyo Mika stopped sobbing, and then said, "Lin Feijun, didn't you ask me to send someone to count the economic numbers every day before you left?" ”
In Lin Fei's era, Lin Fei was trained as a senior officer, and the difference between senior officers and middle and grass-roots officers is that senior officers can not only understand military, but also politics and economics, so Lin Fei has learned a lot of economic knowledge, and he asked the central bank to count economic figures, which is to use these economic numbers to control the operation of the Chinese Empire's economy.
Lin Fei nodded and said, "I asked you to send someone to count the economic figures, what does this have to do with you crying?" ”
Chiyo Mika said: "I found out today that a subordinate who investigates prices is lazy, and he didn't investigate prices at all, and the numbers he reported in the past few days are all made up by himself......"
Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "Is it because he has a bad attitude when you criticize him?" ”
Chiyo Mika hurriedly shook her head and said, "I...... I didn't criticize him. ”
Lin Fei frowned, and said, "Why don't you criticize him?" ”
Chiyo Mika replied hesitantly, "I ...... I don't dare, I've never criticized others. ”
Lin Fei then asked, "Then why are you crying?" ”
Chiyo Mika shook her head and said, "I don't know, he made a mistake, I don't dare to criticize him yet, I feel so useless, and before I know it, tears will fall......"
Lin Fei laughed helplessly, thinking that it was a big mistake to let her be the governor of the central bank, how could she be such a soft and weak lady to manage other people's materials!
Lin Fei said softly: "Okay, don't cry, I'll find someone else to be the president, and you can be a consultant." ”
Chiyo Mika said stubbornly: "No! I must be the president! ”
Lin Fei shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, you can tell me about the economic situation." ”
Chiyo Mika said "yes", and then said: "We have issued a total of 5 million banknotes, and the prices of more than a dozen major daily necessities such as grain, cloth, and salt are very stable, and there is basically no change. ”
Lin Fei nodded and said, "It's good that prices are stable, do ordinary people have a place to spend money?" ”
Chiyo Mika was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does it mean to spend money somewhere?" ”
Lin Fei said: "Within the Chinese Empire, the various production departments used money to settle goods, for example, the mine extracted the ore and sold it to the smelter at a certain price, and the smelter produced steel and then sold it to the weapons factory at a certain price, so that the money circulated between the factories, and the workers would be paid, so that the workers would have money, you understand the process, right?" ”
Chiyo Mika said: "I read in the book that this process is called commodity economy. ”
Lin Fei said: "People have money in their hands, how do they spend this money? That's what I mean. ”
Chiyo Mika thought for a while and said, "There is nothing else to buy except food and clothes. ”
Lin Fei shook his head and said: "This is not good, you have to find a way to get more things for people to spend money, only when money flows can more wealth be created." ”
Chiyo Mika said, "I understand this, but I don't know how to spend money. ”
