Chapter 179: A New Administrative Structure

On July 20, the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, Qin Duan summoned Liang Qiming, Mu Ziqi, Xie Shuyu, Wang Yitian, Lu Changbo, Zhao Yingcai, Zhu Yongqing, Liu Xiaoshan, Shangguan Yonglun and other military and political personnel to hold a preparatory meeting before the establishment of the government and the army in the council hall of his county guard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the government agencies and the army have been formed, I believe that your work has also achieved great results, and the tasks I have assigned to you have been basically completed, but in the whole process, there are problems with the composition of the government and the army, which is not conducive to the future development of our Tokugawa Prefecture. Lay a good foundation for future work. The minutes of today's meeting were recorded by the two clerks of Crazy Dream and Shangguan Zixi. ”

Qin Duan got straight to the point, he also wanted to hear about his busy meeting with people from all over the world these days, the progress of these guys' work, and whether they were lazy.

"Let me report to the adults first, the work status of the three of us during this period of time." Liang Qiming took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, by the way, I'll also make a debriefing on the tasks I've assigned." Qin Du nodded in agreement.

"In accordance with the instructions of the lord, Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu and I are mainly focused on leading the formation of the administrative organs of the Tokugawa County Government, according to the requirements and plans of the county keeper, the names of the administrative organs have been determined, and combined with our local reality and needs, we will first set up eight offices in Tokugawa County, namely the Administration Department, the Interior Department, the Finance Department, the Agriculture and Water Conservancy Department, the Economic Development Department, the Construction Department, the War Readiness Department, and the Culture, Education and Health Department."

"The administrative department is mainly responsible for the personnel management of officials at all levels in the county, and the administrative department is responsible for the selection, appointment, evaluation, inspection, promotion, demotion, dismissal, and exchange of officials at all levels.

"The Department of the Interior consists of the Intelligence Bureau, the Police ~ Inspectorate, the Security Bureau, the Court of Hearing, and the Supervision Department. The Intelligence Bureau is responsible for collecting, collating and analyzing all aspects of intelligence, and providing a reference basis for the decision-making of the county guard; The police ~ procuratorate is responsible for the daily social security work, and the investigation of ordinary criminal and public security cases and the mediation of general civil disputes are undertaken by its subordinate institutions; The Security Bureau is mainly responsible for reconnaissance of espionage and sabotage activities of hostile forces inside and outside Tokugawa Prefecture. The trial court is mainly responsible for the trial of criminal and public security cases after the investigation of the police ~ procuratorate bureau and the trial of ordinary civil and economic cases; The Supervision Department has considerable powers, and it mainly supervises and investigates corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty, and bending the law for personal gain among officials at all levels throughout the province, and also supervises the discipline and work style of officials at all levels. ”

"The Finance Department is responsible for the financial and tax collection of the whole county, and it has a tax bureau under it. The Department of Agriculture and Water Conservancy is mainly responsible for the development of agriculture and the construction and management of water conservancy facilities in the province. ”

"The Economic Development Department mainly cooperates with the Administration Department to formulate policies to promote the development of various industries such as industry, commerce, finance, and entertainment. He is also responsible for coming up with plans to ensure the implementation of these policies, and another important task is to attract investment and develop science and technology to accelerate the economic development of Tokugawa County. ”

"The main agency of the Construction Agency is responsible for the construction of infrastructure such as towns, streets, roads, and wharves in the county. The War Readiness Service is primarily responsible for the establishment of a reserve force and the proper training of this force in case of an emergency, which can be quickly re-staffed with regular forces or accomplish other tasks. “

"The Department of Culture, Education and Health is mainly responsible for the cultural, educational, and health work of the people in the county, mainly the literacy of the people, the education of minors, and the construction and management of grassroots hospitals."

Liang Qiming made a thorough report to Qin Duan of the government organs established during this period in one breath.

"But these mechanisms are barely able to put up the shelves. However, many agencies are very understaffed and it is quite difficult to operate. For the time being, I am in charge of the work of the Administration Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Culture, Education, and Health Bureau, and the Tokugawa Prefecture, Mu Ziqi is in charge of the work of the Interior Administration, Xie Shuyu is in charge of the work of the Agriculture and Water Conservancy Administration, the Economic Development Department, and the Construction Administration, and we would like to ask Li Hua of the Fourth Division to take charge of the work of the War Readiness Administration. Liang Qiming then added.

"Yes, you can transfer people directly from the Fourth Legion, Cao Chongyue is here, you will directly ask him for someone later." Qin Du said.

Qin Duan was very satisfied after listening to Liang Qiming's report. I just gave them an idea based on the government administration of Qianxiang ~ Jiang, and changed it slightly. In just over a month, the three of them were able to set up such a complete new government organ according to their own intentions, and although it was still relatively difficult to operate, it was caused by objective difficulties, and it was not to blame the three of them, and they could not but appreciate their abilities. And this spirit of forgetting to sleep and eat is also worthy of praise. "Very good, you three have worked hard, when you have free time, you must take a few days off."

Ignoring the wry smiles of the three of them, Qin Dujing said directly to Zhu Yongqing: "Yongqing." Let's talk about the formation of the five garrison divisions. ”

"Okay, let me tell you about the formation of the five garrison divisions. In accordance with the arrangement of the adults, together with the commanders of the five divisions of Deng Dashan and Mi Da, according to the requirements of the adults, all the garrison soldiers in the five prefectures and cities were disrupted, and then some soldiers were drawn from the original first division to reorganize the five garrison divisions. Zhu Yongqing's words were short and clear, and he directly raised the question of saving zĂ i.

Qin Duan nodded, these questions had long been expected by him, and it was not surprising, he looked at Liu Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoshan, let's talk about the First Legion." ”

"Well, our problems are similar to those of the garrison, the combat effectiveness is declining, the officers and soldiers are seriously insufficient, and there is an urgent need to replenish personnel and strengthen training. In addition, Shangguan Yonglun and I also discovered a talent, this person was originally a centurion in the garrison of Tokugawa City, named Ouyang Xiu, a native of Dandong Mansion in Tiannan County of the Empire, his family was born as a freeman in the city, and his ability was also quite good, especially good at defense, and he was also trained at the Imperial Military Academy, and Shangguan Yonglun and I were ready to arrange him to serve as the deputy division commander of our first division. Liu Xiaoshan said even more concisely.

"Very good, I have long understood the problem of the existence of your two legions, but it is difficult to solve it for a while, I am afraid that it can only be done slowly. In addition, what you said about promoting talents in the former Tokugawa County Army, as long as there is no problem with loyalty, I said a long time ago, meritocracy, you can boldly promote. ”

Qin Du was still full of confidence, "Then we have to discuss what problems exist in Tokugawa County now, distinguish the priorities, and what countermeasures should be taken." Liang Qiming, let's talk about it first. ”

"After the statistical analysis of me, Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu, there are mainly several problems in the prefectures of Tokugawa County, and they all need to be solved urgently. The first is the population, that is, the labor force, and the current Tokugawa Prefecture has a total of about 800,000 people, compared with nearly 2.6 million people at its peak, less than a quarter, and the labor force is strictly lacking, resulting in a variety of evil consequences such as no one cultivating the land, no one working in industrial and commercial workshops, the inability to replenish the strength of the army, and the inability to increase the purchasing power of society. ”

"Second, on the economic side, the industry and commerce in Tokugawa Prefecture are in extreme depression, and agriculture is in dire need of revitalization. Thirdly, the Tokugawa Prefecture has very little revenue, and the military expenses are all dependent on the materials brought from the capital, and the salaries of the staff of the administrative organs have not yet been settled, let alone other expenses. ”

"Fourth, in terms of public security, there are now more than 10 large and small horse thieves and bandits in Tokugawa Prefecture, and the social order is unprecedentedly chaotic and needs to be rectified urgently; Fifth, in terms of defense, just now the two corps commanders talked about the lack of soldiers, the decline in combat effectiveness, and the weak defense capacity of the city, especially the city wall in urgent need of repair and reinforcement, and the surrounding environment is harsh. The above aspects are only the ones that we urgently need to solve, and there are still some problems that can only be dealt with after these problems are resolved. Liang Qiming spoke eloquently.

Before Liang Qiming's words fell, Xie Shuyu added: "In addition, the roads, irrigation canals and other facilities in Tokugawa Prefecture have fallen into disrepair for a long time, and if we don't find a way to restore them as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will seriously hinder the development of industry, commerce and agriculture." ”

Mu Ziqi also added; "The most serious problem now is the lack of talent, especially administrative professionals who can do all kinds of work, and if this is not solved in a short period of time, all jobs will quickly be in trouble."

Qin Du nodded, and at the same time, he knew very well that these problems needed to be solved urgently, but there were so many problems at present, and it was impossible to spread out all the work at once, so he could only choose the problems that must be solved immediately, "Yongqing, Xiaoshan, and a few of you, all express your opinions, don't sit there and be a bodhisattva." Qin Du looked at these people in the military.

In fact, these people have also considered the difficulties of saving zĂ i now, but they are not so comprehensive and complete, when Liang Qiming and the three of them listed these problems one by one, many people felt a little headache, there are so many problems in front of everyone, which is more important, which is urgent and which is delayed, and I really have to think about it carefully.

However, most of these people are illiterate, and they used to be grassroots officers in the army, and it is really difficult for them to talk about fighting wars, and it is really difficult for them to propose these solutions. (To be continued......)
