Chapter 175: Liang Qiming's Appointment
After the military meeting, the others retreated, and Liang Qiming and Qin Duan were left in the entire conference room.
"In the past few days, I have been eating and drinking at various houses every day, so that the whole body has no strength." When there were only two people left, Qin Duan spoke.
"Hehe, my lord, we have paid such a big price this time, we can't just eat one meal, my lord must have his own plans, right?" Liang Qiming also got to the point.
"Yes, I have my own plans, but it's not the time yet, so you won't blame me for removing your position as deputy commander." Qin Du looked at Liang Qiming and asked.
"No, if you do this, you must have your arrangement." Liang Qiming said.
"That's what I'm going to talk to you about today, and it's also about your future work." Qin Duan said solemnly, this is something that Qin Duan has been thinking about for a long time.
"Your Excellency, please."
Liang Qiming also knew that what Qin Duan wanted to talk about must be a very important matter, and it must be more tricky, so he took out the pen and paper that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Hehe, you don't have to be so strict, it's just a work arrangement." Qin Duan joked lightly, Liang Qiming said.
"You and I are very aware of the current situation, the Tokugawa Prefecture is basically in a state of anarchy right now, and if it weren't for our army to maintain it here these days, I'm afraid it would have been in chaos a long time ago. I want you to set up the administrative organs at all levels in Tokugawa Prefecture within a month, and when the administrative organs at all levels in Tokugawa Prefecture are formed, you have to focus on the entire Tokugawa Prefecture, after all, I am the county guard of Tokugawa Prefecture, and the other four prefectures will soon be under our jurisdiction, and a large number of administrative personnel will definitely be needed at that time, and you don't have to take care of the affairs of the army, you are only in charge of the administrative aspects. Do you have any questions? ”
Unexpectedly, Qin Duan suddenly raised such an important question, Liang Qiming felt a blood stirring in his heart, isn't this what he dreamed of, he didn't expect it to become a reality in the blink of an eye, and he has always been indignant that his talents could not be displayed, and even did not hesitate to abandon literature and martial arts. Isn't there a place to display your talents? Now I finally have the opportunity to show it, but the Tokugawa Prefecture is now blank, and if I have to start from scratch, can I complete such a difficult and complicated task in such a short time?
Seeing that Liang Qiming fell into contemplation after a burst of excitement, Qin Duan was also very satisfied with his choice, and he was able to calmly consider the problem under the temptation of great power, just by this point, he could see a person's prime.
"My lord, thank you for your trust in Liang Qiming, but the foundation of the Tokugawa Prefecture is too poor now. It is very difficult to complete the task in such a short time, and I am afraid that it will delay the big things of adults. Liang Qiming replied to Qin Duan after thinking about it for a long time.
"You don't have to worry too much, I've already decided on this matter, wait for a while, you can mention it yourself if you need any help, now you touch it first."
Qin Duan encouraged Liang Qiming with confidence, and he was very interested in Liang Qiming's military ability. Qin Duan valued his management skills even more.
"Now that the adults have decided, I will not refuse. I'll do my best, but I just hope that the adults will find me a few more helpers. Liang Qiming saw that Qin Dui had made up his mind, and he really wanted to meet this challenge, so he accepted it.
"You see, even if I find a few people to help you, you are the Lord. They're deputies, and if there's a problem, I'm the only one who asks. There are many problems in all aspects of Tokugawa Prefecture at present, and I hope that when you set up the administrative body, you will also summarize the various problems that exist in Tokugawa Prefecture and even the other four prefectures in Tokugawa Prefecture. For example, we will study the economic, demographic, defense, and public security aspects, and come up with practical solutions, and when appropriate, we will discuss them in preparation for the rapid development of Tokugawa-gun. At the same time, you also need to establish an effective method to discover talents as much as possible, and in Tokugawa Prefecture, I am prepared to appoint people on the basis of cronyism, meritocracy, as long as they have the ability and ability, no matter what their origins, ethnicities, or qualifications, I welcome them. ”
Qin Dui saw that Liang Qiming had already been put on the set, and took the opportunity to increase the weight layer by layer, like these "little things", he should exercise and train his subordinates, a leader will give full play to the enthusiasm of his subordinates, otherwise where would he have so much time to do those more "important" things, such as dancing with beautiful women, rolling sheets, etc.
Seeing that Liang Qiming's brows were furrowed and he wanted to excuse himself, Qin Duan hurriedly comforted Liang Qiming: "Of course, if you feel that the matter is very important and difficult to decide, after everyone has discussed, you can ask me for instructions when necessary, that is, when I am free and in a good mood." ”
"But I'm sure there's not a lot of that kind of thing, isn't it? Okay, okay, let's not talk about these annoying things now, if you feel that you are still annoying, then you can go back and worry about it yourself, anyway, don't affect my good mood at this time. ”
"Now we should go to the Zhao family for a banquet, the Zhao family is the first family in Tokugawa Prefecture, well, I don't know if there is a Yan ~ dance performance, what, you don't even know what Yan ~ dance is, uh, this, that's the kind of dance." didn't listen to Liang Qiming's grievances at all, Qin Du pulled Liang Qiming, who was full of pain, to the banquet in a hurry.
In the next ten days, Qin Du and Liang Qiming attended a banquet set up by the famous merchants of Tokugawa Prefecture on time to thank Qin Du and his troops for their great contribution to the defense of Tokugawa Castle.
In the midst of the staggering, the businessmen consciously or unconsciously asked whether Qin Duan and his army needed support and help, and the businessmen were willing to do their best to meet the needs of Qin Duan and his troops as far as they could. For Qin Duan, what is lacking now is money, food and materials, so many troops to raise, such a big stall to be spread, these all need money.
After a few days of observation and conversation, combined with the information he had, Qin Duan had a certain understanding of the situation of these merchants.
Due to the war in Tokugawa Prefecture for more than ten years, the economy has actually been on the verge of collapse, many people have fled with their families to escape the war, the population has plummeted from nearly 700,000 in the heyday to less than 250,000 now, the urban population is less than 150,000, the industry has almost completely come to a standstill, and only a few larger workshops are still surviving in the leather processing industry, and the others are either bankrupt or relocated.
Later, with the wars becoming more frequent, the extreme deterioration of social security, horse thieves and bandits broke out, and the safety of the lives and property of merchants from all over the country was not guaranteed in the territory of Tokugawa Prefecture, and commercial trade plummeted.
Local businessmen were also forced to move their workshops, shops and even small families to other places one after another, seeking other development, and some even moved their families out of the country and never came back.
And now Qin Du led the army of Tokugawa Prefecture to defeat the strong with the weak, and the news of the defeat of the Huns has quickly spread throughout Tokugawa Prefecture, and even the entire west, and has a great influence in the surrounding countries, and Qin Duan also said that he will lead his army to stay in Tokugawa Prefecture and continue to defend the safety of Tokugawa Prefecture, which immediately ignited the hopes of local merchants that have long been dashed, and even many merchants and merchants from other places who have long left Tokugawa Prefecture and even Tokugawa Prefecture are full of expectations.
After all, the geographical location of Tokugawa Prefecture in Tokugawa County is very advantageous, and the northwest is close to the Tengger Prairie, the raw material production area of leather, and there has always been a tradition of leather processing, and labor resources are also relatively rich; More importantly, it is an important passage from the northern part of the Eastern Continent to the Central and Western Continents.
Because the north-south Dahengduan Mountain Range lies between the middle continent and the east continent, not only the terrain is steep and steep, but also surrounded by undeveloped primeval forests, which cannot be crossed at all, only in the north and south of it are plains, and it naturally becomes the upper passage of the two continents that communicate the middle continent, the west continent and the east continent, and the Tokugawa Prefecture is also located at the throat of this large passage in the north.
In addition, Tokugawa Prefecture is the largest of the five prefectures in Tokugawa Prefecture, and the land is fertile, rich in grain, and the surrounding area is rich in products and specialties, making it the best place to become a material distribution center.
The merchants who still stay in Tokugawa Prefecture and want to return to Tokugawa Prefecture are naturally divided into two types, one is the merchant who takes advantage of the proximity to the leather raw material production area to operate the leather processing industry, and the other is the merchant who takes advantage of the special geographical location to engage in commodity trade, the former category is represented by the Zhao family, and the latter group is headed by the Xu family, in short, the two types of merchants constitute the upper class of the current Tokugawa Prefecture.
The landlord forces, which were more common in other places, were almost completely wiped out in Tokugawa due to the repeated raids and looting of the Huns for more than ten years. Except for the land cultivated by peasants on the periphery of the castle and the border areas close to other prefectures, the rest of Tokugawa Prefecture was largely deserted, especially in the western and northern areas near the Hun territory, which were rarely populated for dozens of miles.
Ten days passed quickly, Qin Dui participated in the celebration banquet prepared for him by various merchants, and on the other hand, he urged Liang Qiming to seize the time to form an administrative organ, during which the participation of Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu, the great talents who traveled from the center of the empire to the Tokugawa Mansion, made Qin Duan very happy, but due to the urgency of time, as soon as the reception banquet passed, he asked the two to immediately put into work to assist Liang Qiming in completing the task he had assigned.
