Chapter 278: A New Era in Songjiang County

In addition to the above eight departments, the Council of the Governor's Palace also voted on the division of a number of branches.

For example, the military intelligence department attached to the military subordinates; At present, there is only one idea of the Songjiang-Tiannan United Bank; and the Southeast Business Federation, which Chen Wu intends to use to replace the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

Needless to say, Ganxing's military intelligence department will also usher in a large-scale expansion along with the reorganization and reform of the whole army and the whole system. As for the Songjiang-Tiannan United Bank, it was the central bank that Chen Wu envisioned in the future, holding the right to mint money. The purpose of the establishment of the Southeast Chamber of Commerce is even more obvious, to unite the local business forces in the two counties and bring them under official management, rather than allowing them to form a highly threatening organization like the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

Of course, Chen Wu will not say this nominally, but in the name of unified coordination and guidance of the government, and at the same time give all chambers of commerce and businessmen an official contact and exchange platform. In fact, this business association, which has not yet been established and has an official background, does have the purpose of promoting the business development of the two counties.

It will be linked with some policies of the Home Affairs Agency to perform some functions similar to macro-market regulation on behalf of the government.

At present, many of the civil and military officials who participated in the Governor's Mansion meeting have not fully grasped the intention of Chen Wu's design. Their eyes are more focused on the traditional internal affairs, finance and other departments. If Chen Wu has already decided to appoint a candidate, then that's it. If they are still considering it, or plan to solicit everyone's opinions, then some of the former Dengzhou officials who participated in the meeting will have to fight.

At the end of the two-day meeting, personnel appointments to several major departments were also gradually released.

The director of the Administration Department has not yet been well nominated, and is currently vacant. As a matter of fact, with regard to some important personnel appointments, Chen Wu is ready to do it himself at this stage. After all, he knew a lot of brilliant people who were now unknown and would soon become famous, an advantage that others did not have.

In terms of the position of deputy, Chen Wu appointed Wang Chang, a former official from Dengzhou, to assist him. Before the crossing, many players had a good opinion of him, and it was said that he was upright and upright, and he had a good eye for knowing people, which was very suitable for administrative management.

The director of the Home Affairs Department finally fell to Yuan Xingwei's head.

Yuan Xingwei was somewhat mentally prepared for this position, but after he was really appointed, he couldn't help but be excited. When he was Qian Boming's staff before, although Yuan Xingwei could also meddle in the affairs of a county, after all, he was only a staff member, with the right to build and have no ability to implement. Now, he was given the opportunity to personally manage the internal affairs of the two counties.

Although this power was limited, not as great as the Empire's Minister of the Interior, it was impossible for him to expect more from him who had been a prisoner in the Heavenly Prison more than a year ago.

Recalling his decision to decisively seize the opportunity and join forces with Chen Wu, Yuan Xingwei couldn't help but be secretly proud and shook the folding fan.

The deputy director of the Home Affairs Department is Ji Yingrui, the former director of the Home Affairs Department of Songjiang County.

In all fairness, originally in this position, Ji Yingrui did a good job. Aside from the occasional invasion by pirates, Matsue was a paradise in the southeastern part of the empire as a whole. It is precisely because of this that although Ji Yingrui is the confidant of the former governor Chi Chang, after the other party expressed his intention to take refuge, Chen Wu still decided to use people.

From another point of view, giving Ji Yingrui such an important position can also appease the hearts of the local surrender officials in Songjiang.

For Ji Yingrui, from the original director to the deputy director, it seems that his status is low, and he has an extra boss on his head. But in fact, Yuan Xingwei, the director, was in charge of the internal affairs of Songjiang and Tiannan counties. Specific to Songjiang, Ji Yingrui still has great rights. If the Taiping Army has the opportunity to continue to expand in the future, then his position will only be more important, which is equivalent to a bright descent and a dark ascension!

What's more, as a subordinate, Ji Yingrui is already very satisfied with being able to get this position.

What he originally thought was that Chen Wu would directly replace himself soon after taking Dengzhou and appoint another confidant to serve as him.

As for the personnel of the Financial Services Department, there are no suitable officials either.

Although the original Songjiang Finance Director Ding **** had some talents, he was greedy for money, and Chen Wu really didn't dare to appoint such an official. It can only be temporarily vacant and appointed Shi Xianqian as his deputy.

Prior to this, Shi Xianqian had been assisting Yuan Xingwei in managing the finances of the Taiping Army, so he was no stranger to this job.

The director of the War Readiness Administration was given to Ma Weize.

This person followed Chen Wu as early as the Taiping Army's Yicheng, and he was also in charge of the baggage battalion and the craftsman bureau. Although there has been no eye-catching appearance, he is diligent and diligent, and there is no merit and hard work. Considering that there have been no major problems with the logistics of the Taiping Army all along, this position is a reasonable reward for him.

However, after the initial appointment of these major agencies, Chen Wu could not find suitable candidates for the remaining departments, such as the Culture and Education Department, the Press and Distribution Department, and the Ministry of Industry.

After the Taiping army took over Dengzhou, only a part of the officials who were willing to stay and appoint were after all. In addition, Chen Wu wants to eliminate some unqualified ones, and there is not even a third of them that can really be used. In the past month or two, the government offices in Dengzhou and Songjiang could barely maintain normal operations, and in fact a large number of vacancies were vacant. In the Taiping Army, there are even fewer talents who can be of great use, and those who had names and surnames before the crossing have all been pushed to high positions.

This kind of shortage of talents, and now Chen Wu has counted the entire Governor's Palace, and he can't find anyone who can use it.

The Department of Culture and Education is better, although the cultural popularization that Chen Wu wants to promote is different from the traditional poetry and books of the empire, but after all, there are commonalities, and you can first find a few famous local cultural masters to take on the same role. But the Ministry of Industry and the Press and Distribution Bureau are different, they are all institutions that the Qianyuan Empire does not have now!

The development of science and technology and the distribution of newspapers are easy to say in just eight words, but even in Zhongzhou, which is full of talents, there are few people who are really clear, let alone Songjiang.

Chen Wu, who had no choice but to put aside the construction of these two departments for the time being, only nominally retained the institution.

However, even if there are still various vacancies and shortcomings, the results of Chen Wu's meeting and reform are enough to shock the civil and military officials under his command. In just two days, a systematic military reform plan and administrative organ reform were come up, and even personnel appointments were roughly finalized.

This kind of efficiency is beyond imagination.

In fact, many Dengzhou officials who participated in the discussion or waited for the results to be announced were ready for the meeting to last for half a month or even a month or two.

This unprecedented efficiency, as well as the move of implementing from the top level down without hesitation, made the entire Dengzhou and even the whole of Songjiang feel the courage and determination of the new governor, and the difference from the previous imperial officials.

The huge Dengzhou is therefore in a state of hustle and bustle.

Several military camps inside and outside the city began large-scale personnel mobilization and reorganization on the same day. The original Taiping army robes, military flags, and all kinds of non-compliant weapons and paper armor were all eliminated. After using up all the inventory in Songjiang County and the seizures in the Tiannan War, the 13,000 people of the 1st Division of the Songjiang Army completed the redress.

On the surface, at least, this army was no different from any other army in the Empire.

With the completion of the reorganization of the main division, the personnel of the War Readiness Administration began to recruit troops again with the cooperation of the government at all levels in Songjiang. Preparations were made to train recruits for the Songjiang Second Division, which was being established, and the Dengzhou Garrison Division, which had not yet been fully staffed. The 1,000-man wing directly under the 1st Division of the Songjiang Army got the task shortly after the reorganization was completed, and took the lead in entering Tiannan County to help Chen Wu control Tianlong City.

Subsequently, while maintaining local order, they began to recruit troops in Tiannan County.

This group of recruits from Tiannan County will be used to prepare for the establishment of the Tianlong Garrison Division after being trained by the War Readiness Administration. Eventually, the strength of this garrison division will replace the existing urban defense battalions at all levels in Tiannan County, and then break the original interest groups.

At the same time, the reform of the administrative apparatus has also been carried out in an all-round way.

The originally scattered institutions at all levels were relocated to the east front street where the governor's palace was located. The old government institutions have also hung up new door plates one after another. The dismissal of officials, the handover of their former positions, the transfer of various forms and documents, and the formulation of new systems all require unimaginable energy and time.

It is precisely for this reason that Chen Wu's current administrative reform did not blindly seek perfection and achieve it overnight, but chose to gradually implement it from point to point and from north to south.

As the county seat of Songjiang, Dengzhou was the first to start the transformation. After the county-level institutions have initially completed the reform and started operation, they will be extended to the prefectures of Yuyang, Fengcheng, Chishang, and Osan, and then implemented in each county. By the time Songjiang, which was most thoroughly controlled by the Taiping military, completed the reform, the military reform had already been fully implemented at that time. Chen Wu would send the Songjiang First Division to Tiannan at an appropriate time to stabilize the situation and then carry out reforms in Tiannan.

By the time the administrative reform in Tiannan was basically completed, most of the Tianlong Garrison Division had already taken shape, and it was just in time to complete the replacement of the city defense battalion.

In the whole process, administrative reform and military reform complement each other, and the timing is just right.

This kind of grasp of the entire situation and grasp of the heat is not the kind of minister who has been in the ups and downs of officialdom for many years, and it is difficult to be so clear and organized. When the information about the reorganization of the Taiping Army was transmitted back to Zhongzhou, let alone ordinary civil servants, even the Minister of the Interior, Chen Sansheng, couldn't help but marvel at it, saying to himself that it was unimaginable.

Of course, they didn't know that the super guilds led by players competed back then, and the strategy confrontation was more exciting and fierce than that of NPCs. With thousands of years of history in the entire real world as a reference, and the ability to resurrect infinitely, there is nothing that players dare not use. Chen Wu himself is a high-level player of the Super Guild, and he has been exposed to it for more than ten years, so even if he just applies some existing plans and modifies them slightly, it is enough to deal with the current situation in Songjiang!

Songjiang, which has been stable for more than 300 years since the founding of the Qianyuan Dynasty, has since entered another magnificent new era.
