Following Ding Kui through the portal, Shaodian Luan, Long Yan, Ding Xiao, Yu Gui, Biya, Ding Kun, Ding Zhong, Qian You, Guo Qing and Wang Bo were traveling across the state and county. Go to Giant Sheep City. If Fei Ze hadn't brought some people back first, he would have no one available now.
All affairs in the territory are waiting for people to handle them. It is not enough to rely on the people on hand at the moment. Ding Kui summons Ding Kun, Fei Ze, Xue Chong and Feng Liang to discuss.
"The royal outpost needs people, the city defense army needs people, the Chinese chariots and horses need people, the security bureau needs people, the Yongsheng base needs people, the people's livelihood bureau, the tax bureau and the civil service bureau all need people. Let's think of a way to solve it. Manpower problem?" He asked the question.
"The First Brigade can cancel all vacations and take over the defense of the city defense army from now until the spring exercise next year." Feng Liang spoke first.
He can't recruit more people, but he can share some of the problems faced by Giant Sheep City.
"Nearly two thousand people have been recruited from the original city defense army in the past few days. Most of them are willing to join the caravan and urban management. I have selected a thousand people to add to the caravan, and the remaining eight or nine hundred people have been organized into training Team, it will take a few more months of training to meet the requirements of the urban management.
During the time you were in the capital, I recruited and trained a group of people, about 600 people. They have just completed basic training and can temporarily be sent to the royal outpost to guard Camelback Mountain, which only merchants and travelers pass by. The pass is no problem.
Next, we will recruit manpower from several nearby counties, but we will have to wait until after the New Year at the earliest. There will be no way to replenish manpower before the year." Xue Chong has the most people in charge and needs the most people.
"At present, the most urgent need for personnel is the Security Bureau, the Royal Outpost and the Huaxia Carriage and Horse Troops. Several other places can be put on hold for a while." Fei suggested to prioritize, "The Security Bureau's manpower can wait for people from the capital to replenish it, and Wanban comes back." You can draw some people from the Charity Club.
It is not enough to have more than 600 people at the royal outpost, but it is easy to recruit famous people. Before the spring exercise of the first brigade, a team of 1,000 people can be gathered. Adding the more than 1,000 people left by the original city defense army, we can go up. Declare an establishment of 3,000 people."
"What about the city defense army?" Xue Chong couldn't help but interject.
Fei Ze glanced at Ding Kui and said: "The city defense army will not be needed in the short term. The troops at the royal outpost have spare capacity to take care of city defense tasks. It will not be too late for us to slowly recruit them in the future."
The business of Huaxia Carriage and Horse Racing will double next year, and the current number of more than a thousand people is not enough, and it needs the support of new immigrants."
The new immigrants are the old members of the Ding family who have migrated from various places. They are all military children. Most of them have practiced martial arts since childhood and have participated in various training camps. They are more suitable for protecting caravans.
"It's not enough. I want people, lots and lots of people." Ding Kui was a little disappointed, "A lot of farmland has been abandoned in Kumu Town and Yeliu Town. I can guarantee that there will no longer be monsters in the swamp that attack humans. Those two The town needs at least double the population.”
Deadwood Town and Yeliu Town are close to the Great Swamp. The land there can be said to be the most fertile in Nanqiu County. However, there were often monsters in the past. No one wanted to farm there. After the war, the least number of people returned to these two towns. , half of the village is empty now.
"If in Pingzhong County, the young master can recruit people in "Guan Yue", as long as the land tax is exempted for a few years and the output of the purchased fields is guaranteed, a large number of refugees can be attracted." Ding Kun said while everyone was thinking. Voice.
"Will refugees watch "Watching the Moon"?" Ding Kui was puzzled.
"The people who manage the refugees will look at it, and they will tell the refugees that everyone is willing to see that there is not a single refugee in their jurisdiction."
"Oh." Ding Kui understood, "I can print leaflets and post them all over Nanzhao Prefecture. Exemption from land tax is not a problem, nor is purchasing. As long as it is grain that is easy to store, Yongsheng base can have as much as they want.
Hey, Kumu Town and Yeliu Town are not far from the base, and even the freight is saved. As it is decided, the above two towns will be exempted from field tax for five years, and Yongsheng Base will purchase unlimited grain. I will publish a leaflet.
Zhang, use all channels to spread the word."
No one understood what a promotional leaflet was, and no one knew what a psoriasis advertisement was, but Ding Kui knew it very well. In order to attract people, he decided to do whatever he could to attract people.
"Of course you can attract many refugees by doing this, but after several generations of reproduction, new refugees will appear who have no land to farm, leaving hidden dangers for the future development of the territory." Fei Ze disagreed with this radical approach.
"Surplus labor population! Haha, you reminded me that as long as labor efficiency is improved, surplus labor will be generated." Ding Kui became less and less concerned about the new terms popping out of his mouth.
He looked at the confused eyes around him and explained: "Let me give you an example. The earliest fish workers in the chilled fresh food store can handle one hundred fish a day, and the specialty store needs to process 10,000 fish every day, so it must recruit 100 fish workers.
Famous fisherman.
Now the fish workers can handle two hundred fish per day. Assuming that the demand of the specialty store remains unchanged, only fifty fish workers are needed. Fifty of the 100 people originally recruited will have nothing to do.
Those fifty people who have nothing to do are called surplus labor, and all such surplus labor in the city is collectively called the surplus labor population. If these people are not handled well, they will become refugees. We must organize them and guide them to where we need them."
"But we need armed personnel, do we need to train the remaining labor force?" Xue Chong was a little worried, not everyone can be trained into qualified soldiers.
"My subordinate understands what the Lord means." Fei Ze showed admiration, "The simplest work in all walks of life should be strength work. Only strength work does not require any skills, and those who have strength can be trained as armed personnel or
Semi-armed men.”
"That's right, for example, the yamen and urban management of the Public Security Department, as well as the security personnel of various important departments, they only have to be able to deal with ordinary people, and the powerful roles are left to special departments to deal with." Ding Kui added.
"What do you mean, sir, is to lower the requirements of the city management and turn all the city defense troops into caravan guards?" Xue Chong understood.
"That's pretty much what it means. We need to send people to organize porters and plasterers, and train them while eliminating them. Combined with continuous recruitment, we should be able to meet the needs of the Public Security Department and the Urban Management Bureau."
Ding Kui found that he had got into a corner. Urban planning was a long-term task, and the city walls could be preserved for a few years. Urban management was not urgently needed, and there was enough time for training.
"Most of the people left after the war are young adults. If they have time to recuperate, the population will grow naturally. The problems you are facing now may be solved in ten or twenty years." Fei Ze was advising Ding Kui to adopt a steady development approach.
.
"Haha, don't worry. Having a large population is not a bad thing. I will certainly be useful." Ding Kui thought of the industrialized production model.
Although there is no machinery in this world, there are many ways to improve work efficiency, and advanced production concepts can be used to organize large-scale production.
The surplus labor force can enter the factory. The Yongsheng base can be upgraded to an industrial town at any time, and it is not impossible to upgrade it to a city in the future.
He began to construct a blueprint in his mind, and he could boldly try it on his own territory. It was not a matter of trust that he did not speak out now. He was afraid of trouble, and no one present could understand his idea.
"People for internal affairs can be recruited in Nanjing City, and my subordinates suggest recruiting more young people, because older people tend to have stubborn ideas and are not suitable for accepting new things created by adults." Fei Ze understood the characteristics of literati better.
"Agree, notify the contact person in Nanjing City, find a way to intercept Mr. Liu, and ask Mr. Liu to recruit internal affairs talents when he passes through Nanjing City. The younger the better, the more the better." Ding Kui did not want to fight with the stubborn literati.
Work together.
The problem of manpower came to an end, and Ding Kui called for the guard Lao Guo and Qian You's followers.
"Lao Guo, Wang Bo, do you know why I asked you to come?"
Guo Qing and Wang Bo replied together: "I don't know."
One is a guard of the Marquis of Protector, and the other is a follower of Qianyou. They really don't know why they come to such a meeting.
"The mayors of the ten towns under Juyang City were appointed by the former city lord. Now that it has become my territory, the original mayor is no longer suitable to continue. I want you two to serve as mayors. Lao Guo will go to the wild
Liu Town, Wang Bo goes to Mingyue Town."
Ding Kui wanted to strengthen his control over the territory and planned to arrange for his confidants to serve as mayors of ten towns.
Guard Lao Guo has been with Ding Kui for a long time, and his qualifications are enough to be a mayor.
Wang Bo followed Qianyou after the Funiu Mountain Demon Rat Incident. As a result, he spent most of his time working in the Ding family and actually spent very little time following Qianyou. Ding Kui took a fancy to his ability and loyalty.
When they learned that they had become the mayor, the two of them couldn't believe their ears, and when they realized it, they had to give in.
"I can rest assured that I will leave it to you to manage! You don't have to refuse, unless you think you are not capable of managing a town! Those two towns are on the riverside, and it is easy for foreign enemies to sneak in. You have to take on the important task of protecting the territory." Ding Kui.
I know these two are responsible people.
Guo Qing and Wang Bo knelt down on one knee at the same time, clasped their fists together and said, "I will live up to your high expectations!"
The road from Juyang City to Yongsheng Base passes through Mingyue Town and Yeliu Town. Ding Kui wants to ensure that this road is smooth and will not let anyone he does not trust become the mayor.
Ding Kui said to Fei Ze, who had not yet left, "Mr. Fei, the tax office is going to trouble you."
"It's not troublesome. It's much easier than Liu Yu's Civil Welfare Department. There are a lot of taxes in the first few years that my subordinates won't need to collect." Fei Ze had already guessed some of Ding Kui's personnel appointments.
"In addition to tax matters, you also have to take care of several industries directly under the city lord's palace. How many people should you use? Which people should you use? You can decide for yourself."
"What about Ding's Ship Repair Shop?"
"It's also under your control. Ding Cai will be in charge of the Public Security Department." Ding Kui knew what position his loser was suitable for.
