Section 4 Entrepreneurship (3)
Before Xiao Tang's words fell, Su Minshun added: "In addition, the roads, irrigation canals and other facilities in Qingyang Mansion 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 the development of industry, commerce and agriculture will be seriously hindered." ”――
"The most serious problem now is the lack of talent, especially for 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 become difficult." ”――
Wu Feng 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 roll out all the work at once, so he could only choose the problems that must be solved immediately, "Chongxin, Wenxiu, and a few of you, all express your opinions, don't sit there and be a bodhisattva." Wu Feng looked at these people in the military.
In fact, these people have also considered the difficulties that exist now, but they are not so comprehensive and complete, when Xiao Tang and the three of them listed these problems one by one, several people felt a little headache, there are so many problems in front of them, which is more important, which is urgent and which is slow, and they really have to think about it carefully-
Seeing that several people were thinking hard, Wu Feng no longer forced them, after all, these people had spent all their energy on the formation of the army for a period of time, and they didn't have any extra thoughts to think about other issues, that is, the difficulties in the army were enough for them to be busy for half a year. "Xiao Tang, then tell me how you plan to carry out your work, what is the primary problem at present?"
"Back to adults, in fact, these problems boil down to two words, one is people, the other is money, and the two are complementary to each other, influencing each other, and interdependent. But if you want to have people, according to the actual situation in Qingyang Prefecture at present, you can only absorb a large number of immigrants, and if you want to absorb a large number of immigrants, there must be several prerequisites, one is good social security, the second is a preferential tax policy, the third is sufficient employment opportunities, and the fourth is the necessary material guarantee, and in order to achieve the above points, and let the political axe operate normally, a large amount of funds are neededIt is only after the economy has developed that there will be enough tax revenues to sustain the regular expenses of the government and the army. Xiao Tang had already prepared, and when he saw Wufeng asking, he replied like a stream-
"Go on. Wu Feng encouraged-
"In fact, we don't have no foundation at all, after all, the transportation location of Qingyang Mansion is here, no one can replace it, this is still the base of the leather processing industry, and now the local people are very supportive of us, so we can still come up with some solutions. The more Xiao Tang said, the more confident he became-
"Then what measures are we going to take now?" Wu Feng was also very interested, and the others, except for Mo Lun and Su Minshun, also pricked up their ears, because these plans were originally conceived by the three of them.
"We are ready to formulate preferential immigration policies and tax policies, specifically to increase publicity efforts to encourage Qingyang to settle down, from now on, all those who come to Qingyang Province to engage in industrial and commercial operators, including the existing industrial and commercial operators in Qingyang Province, will be exempted from all taxes for two years, and the collection will be reduced by half in the third year; Entertainment operators are exempt from all taxes for one year, and the collection is reduced by half for the second year; those who are engaged in handicraft work and service industries can be provided with rental low-cost housing services; those who are engaged in agricultural production and settle down here can each get at least 10 acres of land free of charge, and all taxes will be exempted for three years, and the political axe will provide him with free crop seeds for the first year, and he can also buy farm tools, livestock, etc. For example, if the person has a per capita level of more than 10 mu, as long as he cultivates for three consecutive years, he will also belong to him, but he is not allowed to buy or sell or abandon the land, otherwise the political axe will take back the land; if he cannot find a worker in Qingyang Prefecture, the political axe guarantees that he will arrange a job for him, and he can choose to join the army and carry out municipal construction employment. We will also set up a recruitment hall, welcome the empire and even the mainland to serve in Qingyang Mansion, but also welcome to recommend others, if the recommendation is true, and the political axe hires, but also according to the situation to give the recommender a certain reward, the political axe still has a large number of middle and high-level positions vacant. Xiao Tang finished the plan in one breath, "In addition, the first thing to solve the problem is to hope that the army will wipe out the horse thieves and bandits in Qingyang Mansion in a short period of time, otherwise these plans cannot be implemented." ”――
Wu Feng listened to Xiao Tang's plan with great interest, but he soon discovered a problem, but he was not good at interrupting Xiao Tang's speech, so he had to listen to it head-on, and then put it forward: "Xiao Tang, the plan made by the three of you looks very beautiful, and the prospects are also very good, but these plans are tax relief, loans and loan guarantees, and what else is provided for free, which requires a lot of money, and now we haven't even settled for the next month's salary, where are you going to get this money?"
"Yes, we are asked to carry out the task of suppressing bandits immediately, but now there are not enough soldiers, not enough training, and there is a lack of equipment, especially armor, and the salaries of the soldiers have not yet been paid, these are all needed immediately. Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu cried out in unison.
"The problem of money is your business with the city guard of Qingyang Mansion in the northwest county of the empire, and I believe that your lord will have a solution to solve this problem that is not a problem. Xiao Tang didn't blink his eyes, and replied seriously-
"What? You're talking about it easy, such a huge plan, even the initial start-up capital has to be ......" Wufeng Monster shouted, and for a moment he couldn't help but pause -
"At least 4,000,000 gold coins. Su Minshun couldn't help laughing and said it for Wufeng-
"Yes, at least 4,000,000 gold. Wu Feng also hurriedly repeated, and after finishing speaking, he was also taken aback by this amount, "4,000,000 gold coins?
Several other members of the army were also taken aback by this number, it was a joke, how could it be possible to raise such a large sum of money?-
"My lord, you don't have to be anxious, although the amount is not small, but in terms of needs, this money is necessary, otherwise our development plan will be just on paper. "Xiao Tang sincerely admonished Wu Feng-
"I don't need you to explain this, but after all, this amount is too big, where do you let me get it for a while, even if I grab it, I have to have a goal. Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh -
"My lord, it's not that there is no way at all, there are a few ways to try, of course, this has to be done by yourself, my lord. "Xiao Tang has a confident suggestion-
"Well, I didn't think of a single way, you actually said that there are still a few ways to choose, so you can listen to it. Wu Feng looked at Xiao Tang suspiciously-
"One is to borrow from the merchants of Qingyang Mansion, with a political axe as a guarantee, I think I should be able to borrow a part. Xiao Tang confidently said the first method-
"If you are cheeky to borrow, I am afraid that you will be able to borrow some of it, but after all, the situation is not completely stable now, and these businessmen have been in a recession for so many years, and I am afraid that it will be very difficult for the number to be large. Wu Feng also calmed down and analyzed-
"Another way is to ask the center of the empire. Xiao Tang squeezed out these words from between his teeth-
Wu Feng's eyes lit up, high, really high. "Why did the Central Committee of the Empire give us so much money?" Kang Jianguo, who had never opened his mouth, couldn't help it, seeing that Wufeng and the others looked thoughtful, he really couldn't understand why the empire would give so much money to Qingyang-
"Because it has to be given, otherwise if the situation here deteriorates, it will lose more than just a few million gold coins. Wu Feng said slowly. "However, there is still a lot of work to be done, and it cannot be done in a day or two.
"My lord, you can borrow some from the merchants here for emergencies, but the amount should not be too large, and you can handle it, so that these merchants will not lose their confidence. If you can't, you can also sell some of the spoils of this war. In addition, it may be necessary to ask adults to come forward to do a good job of these businessmen, and ask them to take the lead in moving their own industries, family members and relatives back to Qingyang, so that it can play a good role in promoting. Su Minshun also put forward his own views.
"No, absolutely not, we have arranged these war horses. "Liang, Cui, Mu, and Ka fiercely opposed it together.
"Selling war horses is not considered for the time being, first, these war horses are quite good, and the training is not easy, and second, if they are sold to the army, no matter which surrounding forces are not suitable, it will only increase the threat to us. "Wu Feng doesn't agree with it either-
"My lord, the matter of suppressing bandits cannot be delayed for too long, I have already arranged for the people from the Intelligence Bureau to go down to collect intelligence, and the army here should also hurry up and prepare. "Morun also expressed his opinion.
Wu Feng looked around at everyone present, "Today's meeting was very good, especially Xiao Tang, Mo Lun, and Su Minshun, the three of you have done a very good job during this period of time, and the problems and solutions raised are very realistic, and now we are waiting to be implemented." I am responsible for borrowing money from the businessmen and doing their work, and the specific handling is up to Xiao Tang, and the reorganization and training of the troops must strive to achieve results within a month, and we have to deal with horse thieves and bandit organizations, I believe that with our current strength, there will not be much of a problem, maybe these horse thieves and bandits can still replenish our personnel and funds. Speaking of this, the eyes of several army generals present couldn't help but light up, "In addition, the work of collecting intelligence on these horse thieves and bandit organizations must be intensified and meticulous. After these things are ready, I have to go to Yanjing. Everyone should seize the time to carry out this work. ”――
The next day, on November 26, the administrative organs of Qingyang Prefecture were announced, and Wu Feng also announced his appointment. Xiao Tang was appointed director of the Administration Department and director of the Finance Department and the Department of Culture, Education and Health of Qingyang Prefecture, Mo Lun was appointed director of the Internal Affairs Department of Qingyang Prefecture, and Su Minshun was appointed director of the Economic Development Department and director of the Agriculture and Water Conservancy Department and the Construction Administration.
On November 27, Wu Feng invited the famous businessmen and gentry of Qingyang Mansion to a banquet in the most famous restaurant in Qingyang Mansion, Linfeng Residence, and the businessmen were all proud of receiving Wu Feng's invitation, and some of those who did not receive the invitation even took the initiative to find Xiao Tang and others and asked them to be included in the invitation list, and Xiao Tang also met their requirements one by one.
The hall of Linfeng Ju has long been very lively, a total of ten tables, nearly 100 people have filled the hall, and businessmen and gentry have brought their wives and concubines to show their status. When Wu Feng led his subordinate military and political chiefs of Qingyang Mansion into the hall, the audience burst into warm applause.
Amid warm applause, Wu Feng began his opening remarks: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank you for participating in this banquet, and I am deeply honored to have you here. Today, all of us gathered here are elites from all walks of life in our Qingyang Prefecture, and they have all made important contributions to the development of our Qingyang, let us toast to a better tomorrow for our Qingyang!"
"Yesterday, our political axe agency has been officially established, began to work normally, in order to promote the better development of our Qingyang Mansion, we have formulated a series of preferential policies to be implemented, and now I would like to ask Director Xiao Tang to announce these preferential policies for you. "Without a sharp chat, the upcoming policy will be launched.
"According to the actual situation of Qingyang, in order to promote the rejuvenation and development of Qingyang, after research, and soliciting the opinions of some people, and reporting to Master Li for approval, we will soon fully implement the following series of policies. When Xiao Tang finished explaining the policies to be implemented one by one, the hall was already full of people. The businessmen exchanged their heads with each other and had lively discussions on the terms of the policy that involved their own interests.
Wu Feng and Xiao Tang had already expected this scene, and they didn't stop it, and let the businessmen talk about it, which lasted for a while before it calmed down. In the end, Zhan Zhaobai stood up, "My lord, this plan should be said to be quite detailed and realistic, and I and everyone here also believe that if this policy is thoroughly implemented, the revival of Qingyang Mansion is just around the corner." However, such a huge plan must be backed by considerable funds, and as far as I know, the current financial situation of Qingyang Mansion is not optimistic, let alone supporting such a huge plan. "Everyone in the hall is also talking, obviously they are not ignorant of the finances of Qingyang Mansion, where such a huge amount of money comes from, it is really unbelievable-
Wu Feng signaled everyone to be quiet with a confident smile, and then explained unhurriedly: "I have already taken into account your worries, and it is definitely impossible to implement such a plan with the current financial situation of Qingyang Mansion, but please rest assured, I am responsible for solving the problem of funds, and I will absolutely guarantee the implementation of the plan, and I will never give a penny from you." The policy announced by Lord Xiao just now has been understood, it is a great opportunity for you to make a fortune, some time ago I attended your banquet, many people have expressed their support for my work, I now ask you to support me is to ask you to move your industry and family relatives back to Qingyang, and expand the scale of production, this is the greatest support for me. ”――
"There may still be people who are worried about the invasion of foreign enemies, and the social security situation is not good, I am here to assure you that as long as I, Li Wufeng, am in Qingyang for a day, this kind of thing will never happen, and we are about to start the rectification of social security. Speaking of this, Wu Feng's words changed, "But according to the information I have, there are many people in our Qingyang Mansion who have close contacts with foreign enemies and bandits, in this case, is it considered a collaborator, my Li Li's position to guard the city is padded by the enemy's corpse, and the official hat is also stained red by the enemy's blood, I don't want my own people's corpses and blood to add color to my position." Although Wu Feng's tone was careless, he finally glanced at everyone in the hall, making everyone feel a chill, and those who had ghosts in their hearts trembled and cold sweat flowed.
"I hope that those who have done these things in the past can go to Director Morun and make it clear to them, that I can not blame the past, and if they try to get away with it, or if they have new behavior, then don't blame the ruthlessness of the men surnamed Lee. ”――
There was silence in the hall, "Of course, I'm not saying that you can't do business with people like the Luope, but you must have proper control over those materials such as weapons, armor, food, salt, and tea, which are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the transactions of large amounts of these materials must be reported to the Internal Affairs Department for the record, and other scattered transactions are not subject to this restriction." "Before that, Wu Feng had discussed and analyzed with Xiao Tang and Mo Lun that the Luo Pei people and horse thieves and bandits had been rampant in this area for many years, and they must have colluded with some illegal businessmen in this area, so they also took this opportunity to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to remind these people-
"In short, I hope that all of you here can abide by the law, make a lot of money, make a fortune, and contribute to the creation of a prosperous and prosperous new Qingyang!" The feast began with the end of Wu Feng's words and thunderous applause, but many people, who were not happy to eat, were worried about whether to report to the Interior Affairs Bureau after the banquet.
