The meeting hall of the Yamen of the Prefecture Mufu, including Zhizhong, Hucao, Shicao, Bicao, Duyou, etc., and all the Yamen involved in matters related to sacrifice, civil administration, finance, etc., were all present.
Cao Shen sat in the top position and said to everyone with a serious face: "Next month's spring equinox will be the day of spring recruitment in Shange. By then, a large number of people from other countries will come to Yinzhou.
This is Yinzhou's first appearance to the entire Daxia, and it is also an extremely important appearance, which is crucial to Yinzhou's future development.
Therefore, we must be prepared to welcome guests and let all seven countries see the strength and prosperity of Yinzhou.
I have asked you to consider it before, now you each talk about your own yamen's next plan. Let's start with the treatment."
Wei Ping Xiao bowed his hands and said, "Return to your lord. The Zhizhong Yamen is responsible for all civil affairs, and the scope is very wide. The lower officials include the following:
First, the street hall. When traveling from different countries, the first thing that catches the eye is the streets of Yinzhou, so the streets must be clean and tidy. The streets and alleys must be spotless, and there must be no dead branches or leaves on the trees and flowers.
In addition, beggars, bullies, refugees, etc. who may affect public order must not appear anywhere.
Based on the above two items, the street department must patrol every day to keep the streets neat, clean, safe and comfortable.”
Cao Shen nodded slightly and reminded: "Beggars are homeless people. We must not expel these people arbitrarily. We must arrange a good place for them."
Wei Pingxiao responded and said: "Second, the rule of law. In the next month, the large influx of people from various countries will definitely lead to more theft and robbery.
The official believes that special laws can be issued for this special period. For example, on weekdays, theft can range from three months to one year, but during this special period, it can be changed to three to five years, or even the loss of limbs. This will definitely scare those who want to commit theft.
People with bad intentions.”
As he spoke, he handed over a thick booklet, "The official has drafted the relevant laws. Please take a look at it."
Cao Shen looked at it for a few times, nodded and said: "Special laws in special periods can be implemented, but the formulation of specific laws must be discussed with the Fa Cao to avoid being too harsh and causing dissatisfaction among the people."
Wei Pingxiao agreed again and continued: "Third, it is about the issue of food and accommodation. All inns and restaurants must be kept neat and clean, especially the inns, beds and bedding, and the government officials should inspect them every seven days."
Cao Shen thought for a while and added: "We also have to deal with the problem of insufficient accommodation."
"There are many accommodations in major temples outside the city, especially Zhaoti Temple, which has thousands of guest rooms, which should be enough to cope with the situation."
"Let the people in the city also be prepared. Hu Cao..." Cao Shen looked at Su Zhen, "You inform all the landlords and ask them to select suitable homeowners in their respective areas and free up the empty houses to meet the needs.
Just in case of emergencies.”
Su Zhen quickly raised his hands and said yes.
Wei Pingxiao continued: "The fourth one is the city guards. From now on, the city guards will be increased to three times the usual number, and patrols will take turns in the morning, noon and evening. In addition, the identities of people entering and leaving the city, especially those entering the city, must be carefully checked.
To prevent some unknown people from taking the opportunity to sneak in."
"This matter, Thief Cao, Supervisor and Postal Officer, you will work together to govern the country. The three of you will discuss the specific measures."
The two persons in charge, Thief Cao and Du Post, raised their hands and said yes.
"Also, any expenditure must not exceed two hundred thousand taels of silver." Cao Shen said again.
The one in charge of the finances quickly said, "Bi Cao."
Wei Pingxiao hesitated for a moment, "Sir, I have another suggestion. During the spring recruitment period, why not allow each shop to increase its prices by three points.
Those who can travel thousands of miles are mostly wealthy people, and these people are not short of money. However, the people of Yinzhou can take this opportunity to increase their income, and the government tax revenue can also be appropriately increased to fill these two problems.
Expenses of one hundred thousand taels.”
Cao Shen thought about it and felt that this method was very good, so he approved it.
Then, each Cao Cao talked about the things that his yamen had to do one after another. However, before the matter was discussed, the yamen officials came to report that the master of the Shange Pavilion was visiting.
The person coming at this time must be related to the spring recruitment, so Cao Shen quickly ordered the person to be invited into the meeting hall.
Wen Ya didn't expect that there were other people in the hall, but since they were all here, she could only say hello to the officials first, and then explain their purpose of coming.
"Spring recruitment is coming soon. This matter is not only related to Shange, but also to Yinzhou. Therefore, I came here to pay homage to you today."
After Cao Shen invited Wen Ya to sit down, he asked politely: "It's okay to say something, Master Immortal."
Wen Ya took out a roll of blueprints and said, "This time, people from all over the world come to Yinzhou, which is the best opportunity to show the strength of Yinzhou." She handed the blueprints to Cao Shen.
Cao Shen was suspicious at first, but after seeing the drawings on the drawings, he was immediately stunned and stunned. After a long time, he couldn't hide his shock and said, "Master Immortal, these weapon drawings..."
"These are ancient weapons, different from today's weapons, but more powerful." Wen Ya stood up, picked up one of the drawings and explained to the officials, "For example, this gun looks just like a long gun, but the tip of the gun
But he has a hidden weapon so he can attack the enemy by surprise."
She explained with several more drawings one after another, and heard the officials in the hall exclaim in surprise. Yinzhou is rich in minerals and is known as the city of weapons, so its weapons production is far ahead of other states.
But even so, these weapons in front of them are still unheard of by everyone. Although they seem to be similar to ordinary weapons, the ingenious design greatly increases the power of the weapons. They also look majestic and very intimidating.
Cao Shen smiled and narrowed his eyes. If these weapons were used in the Yinzhou army, the strength of the army would definitely be improved by several levels.
"Thank you, Master Immortal, for the picture." Cao Shen bowed his hands and thanked him.
Wen Ya said: "I would like to ask you to make a batch of these weapons first. In addition, I would also like to ask you to lend me ten thousand elite soldiers."
Cao Shen was shocked, but he did not refuse, but asked tentatively: "I wonder why the immortal master needs troops? If it is for spring recruitment to maintain order, ten thousand will be enough?"
Wen Ya smiled slightly, "Don't worry, sir, it's just for patrolling. The purpose is just to show the strength of Yinzhou."
Cao Shen felt at ease, thought for a moment, and asked: "Are the weapons that were rushed to be worn first for these 10,000 elite soldiers?"
"Exactly. If there are any extra, it will naturally be worn by everyone in the city's bodyguards. If they cannot be made, we will first recruit these 10,000 elite soldiers."
Cao Shen felt relieved, and he cupped his hands again and said: "What the respected immortal master said."
"In addition," Wen Ya continued: "Outside the East City Gate, I need to ask you to temporarily fence it off on all sides. Pedestrians are not allowed to pass. It will be opened again after the spring recruitment."
Cao Shen nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, Master Immortal." After a pause, he added, "May I ask Master Immortal, if you would allow me to go and take a look at the newly built mountain pavilion?"
In fact, he had gone to see it a long time ago, but he didn't see anything. It was all bare. Because of this matter, he had been so anxious that he couldn't sleep recently. But thinking that it might be a cover-up, he didn't dare to ask the immortal master directly, so he just
It can suppress the uneasiness in my heart.
Sure enough, Wen Ya consoled her: "Don't worry, sir, the construction of the mountain pavilion is going very smoothly. It will definitely appear in front of everyone on the spring equinox."
With the guarantee, Cao Shen felt much more at ease.
"One more thing, I would like to ask for your help. I need 20,000 peach saplings." Wen Ya said.
