Chapter 263 Taking office as the prefect and reorganizing the government office
Fushan City first experienced chaos caused by the red scarf thieves, and then was tortured by Liu Hua, causing several wealthy families to be wiped out. This situation made everyone in the city panic.
The day after Liu Hua left Fushan City, many people in the city began to flee Fushan City, and the remaining wealthy families even quietly sent their disciples out of Fushan City.
Those wealthy families would not give up their property in Fushan City, but they had understood that they could not put all their eggs in one basket. In order to avoid being exterminated, they chose to establish new clan lands elsewhere than Fushan City.
However, these have nothing to do with Qin Wei. People in the city are panicked, but Qin Wei still lives quietly in the Qin family's mansion.
A few days later, the appointment letter from the Jinglue Yamen was finally delivered to Qin Wei.
From this day on, Qin Wei became the prefect of Fushan Prefecture.
However, as a prefect, he is still a polished commander.
When the red scarf thieves started their rebellion, almost all the officials and servants in Fushan Prefecture were killed. The remaining three or two kittens were frightened and hid, not daring to show their faces at all for fear of being attacked by the red scarf thieves.
Killing.
The current magistrate's office has no one or anything except for one. Even the treasury has been visited several times. There is nothing left.
This morning.
Qin Wei officially took office in the prefect's Yamen.
He was sitting in the lobby of the Yamen, looking at the people in the hall with a faint smile on his face.
At this time, everyone on Wuming Island has arrived at Fushan City, but Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang have left. They still have many things to do, and they cannot and do not need to stay in Fushan City forever.
"Everyone, from today on, I am the prefect of Fushan Prefecture!"
"Greetings to the magistrate!" Everyone also understood and bowed together.
Qin Wei nodded slightly and said: "That's right, well, Fushan Mansion is now full of waste and waiting for improvement. It's time for you to show your skills."
"Now I want to appoint official positions to you!"
The magistrate is the chief official, responsible for the government orders of the government, and the commander-in-chief of each county. He is responsible for all government affairs such as promulgating court decrees, governing the people, hearing and deciding lawsuits, inspecting traitors, assessing subordinate officials, collecting taxes, etc.
.
There is a fellow magistrate under him, who is the deputy of the magistrate.
There is a general judge who participates in government affairs.
There is a promotion official, who is responsible for punishment and prison litigation.
In addition, there are officials such as governors, governors, directors, inspectors, and prison guards.
There are six rooms in the government office: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers. There is no need to say more about the other five rooms, but the military room needs to be mentioned.
Because the prefect of the Luofu Dynasty also had another power, that is, he could recruit three thousand soldiers to serve as the defense force of the city.
That is to say, the barracks are not only responsible for the deployment of soldiers, the strength of the people, military examinations, public security and other matters, but are also responsible for the government's army and the defense of the city.
However, nowadays, the government offices and county offices within the Luofu Dynasty are basically in vain, and local government offices are unable to exercise their due power at all.
Just like the previous Fushan government office, the civil servants and government officials were okay, and they were basically all available, but the government army was less than three thousand at all.
If there were three thousand government troops, three thousand red scarf thieves would not be allowed to cause chaos in the city.
But that was in the past, and now Qin Wei wants to reorganize the Fushan government office.
"Lu Baifeng, I have appointed you as the co-president to take charge of the sixth room of the government office." Qin Wei looked at Lu Baifeng below and said with a smile.
Lu Baifeng didn't know whether to cry or laugh. After all, he was also the Marquis of Dali, but now he was a colleague of the Luofu Dynasty.
But when he thought that Qin Wei was just a prefect, and his fellow prefect seemed to be only under Qin Wei, he felt a lot better.
"I obey your order!" Lu Baifeng looked serious and bowed to accept the order.
Since Qin Wei wants to play, he will naturally accompany him to the end.
Qin Wei nodded with satisfaction and said: "Situ Qianfeng, I appoint you as the commander of the army!"
"Li Su, I appoint you as the deputy commander of the army."
"Mo Tianyu, I have appointed you as the general judge to be in charge of all matters in the government office."
In just a moment, Qin Wei arranged for several people.
Lu Baifeng was in charge of the sixth house as a co-president and was responsible for all affairs within the Fushan Mansion.
Mo Tianyu serves as the general judge and is responsible for all matters within the government office.
These two people can be regarded as Qin Wei's right-hand men, with a clear division of labor inside and outside.
Situ Qianfeng and Li Su are in charge of the government army. As for the others, there is no need to arrange them.
Xiao Shunzi and Shi Luan had to be by his side at all times, waiting for orders. Mao Jiang and Xuan Huang were not suitable for them to work in the government office, and using them would be overqualified and underutilized.
As for Ximen Chuixue and Huang Yaoshi, Qin Wei is even less likely to arrange any official positions for them.
At present, in addition to these people, there are hundreds of Luowang members around him. If those Luowang members want to help him control the Qin family, they cannot come to the government office.
Therefore, there are currently five people in Fushan Mansion including Qin Wei.
Qin Wei, the prefect, has four subordinates, but these four subordinates are still mere commanders, and there is not a single soldier below them.
"Ahem. In that case, the rest will be left to you."
"I hope to see a complete government office in three months."
Qin Wei directly acted as the shopkeeper, leaving Lu Baifeng and Mo Tianyu behind the government office, and returned to the Qin family's mansion with Xiao Shunzi and Shi Luan.
Lu Baifeng and Mo Tianyu stood in the lobby and looked at each other.
"Senior Mo, what should we do?" Lu Baifeng asked with a headache.
Faced with such a situation, Lu Baifeng felt a little blind even though he was extremely smart.
Mo Tianyu smiled gently, "Young master handed over this government office to us. This is our luck. You can't take it lightly."
"Hmm! What does Senior Mo mean?" Situ Qianfeng asked in surprise.
He doesn't want to be the commander of the government army. He prefers to travel around. This time he followed Qin Wei to the Qiongtian Sea Area just to gain experience.
Lu Baifeng looked at Mo Tianyu thoughtfully.
Mo Tianyu said softly: "Young Master wants to establish a business here, if we can be reused by him~~"
He didn't say the next words, but everyone understood.
Qin Wei didn't say anything to him. After arriving in the Qiongtian Sea, they were left on the Wuming Island. They arrived at Fushan City just a few days ago. Unexpectedly, Qin Wei became the prefect of Fushan City.
Although Qin Wei didn't say it explicitly, Mo Tianyu had already guessed what Qin Wei wanted to do.
In Dali, although Mo Tianyu had a high status among the Confucian cultivators, he was not considered an important figure in the court at all.
It's not that he doesn't want to become an official in the court, but he has missed the best opportunity.
When he was young, he also served as an official in Dali, but later he voluntarily resigned. Since then, he has basically given up his official career.
But now there is another opportunity before him.
Qin Wei wants to create a foundation here, so as long as he follows Qin Wei's pace and shows his abilities, he will definitely get a good position in Dali Chaotang in the future.
In fact, being brought to the Qiongtian Sea by Qin Wei already shows how much Qin Wei values them.
But it's not enough to just value them, they also have to show their abilities.
Hearing this, Situ Qianfeng lowered his head and began to think deeply.
In fact, he doesn't have much thought about being an official. After all, he is now the Duke of Dali Town and can inherit the position of Duke of Town in the future.
He is more willing to devote his mind to cultivation than to being an official.
But since Qin Wei has made this arrangement, he cannot refuse.
Today is different from the past. When Qin Wei was just a prince in Shuzhou, he could not be afraid. But now that Qin Wei is the Emperor of Dali, how can he dare to be disrespectful at all? It is impossible to disobey orders.
In contrast, Li Su was much more excited. He was Dali's sincere uncle and Qin Wei's eldest cousin. It shouldn't be difficult to get a military attaché position in Dali, but he wanted more.
.
Mo Tianyu's words reminded him and let him know that this was a good opportunity.
"Then what should we do next?" Lu Baifeng asked softly.
Mo Tianyu glanced at him and said with a smile: "Recruit troops, strengthen the government office, control Fushan City, and occupy Fushan Port!"
Lu Baifeng's expression changed slightly, "Then let's recruit people first."
"No, let's go find Li Zheng first!" Mo Tianyu said.
Lu Baifeng nodded.
Seeing him like this, Mo Tianyu couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Young people today are really very thoughtful.
He, Lu Baifeng, doesn’t know what to do?
It is just a government office. With Lu Baifeng's ability, he can take charge of it alone. When Lu Baifeng was in charge of Nanmu City, it was much more difficult than a government office.
The reason why Lu Baifeng asked these questions was because Mo Tianyu was the oldest here and his words carried more weight than Lu Baifeng.
There are some things that Mo Tianyu can say, but he, Lu Baifeng, cannot.
Because he, Lu Baifeng, could not convince the three people in front of him. No, he should not be able to convince Situ Qianfeng.
Situ Qianfeng would listen to Mo Tianyu's opinion, but he probably wouldn't listen to Lu Baifeng's words.
So in order to avoid conflicts with Situ Qianfeng, Lu Baifeng asked Mo Tianyu to be the leader.
As for why we should go to Li Zheng first, it’s because Li Zheng is the chief steward of the Qin family.
Recruiting people for the government will definitely cost money, but the government treasury is empty, so they can only ask for money from the Qin family.
Moreover, Li Zheng is very familiar with Fushan City, so they also need to learn about the specific situation of Fushan City from Li Zheng.
Afterwards, the four of them agreed to go find Li Zheng.
With Qin Wei's consent, Li Zheng was naturally very cooperative with them.
If they want money, the Qin family will provide money, and if they want information, Li Zheng, as a member of Luowang, has a very thorough understanding of all the big and small things in Fushan City.
With Li Zheng's help, Mo Tianyu and the others began to prepare to recruit manpower to enrich the government office.
A few days later, the four of them personally posted a recruitment announcement on the bulletin board in Fukuyama Castle.
At this time, the people in Fushan City knew that the new prefect had taken office.
At first, the people had doubts about the government's recruitment announcement. After all, all the officials in the government had been killed by the red scarf thieves. Now that they were allowed to enter the government and become officials and servants, they would naturally have concerns.
Mo Tianyu and the others had long expected that such a situation would occur, so when recruiting officials and soldiers, the salaries and wages offered were 30% higher than before, and as long as they could pass the selection, they could advance one month's salary and wages in advance.
With such conditions, only some people choose to take the risk and join the government.
Although the people who come to participate in the recruitment are basically ordinary people in the city, Mo Tianyu and others are also welcome to come. Their first task is to enrich the government office first. As long as the character is not too low, they will directly recruit them.
Already.
In just over half a month, the government office has become more impressive. Although the staff is still insufficient, at least there are already people in the sixth room and the third shift of the government office. Even the government army has recruited more than a thousand people, like
Properly patrolling the city wall.
Qin Wei did not pay too much attention to the government affairs. He had already focused his attention on the entire Beiyuan Island and Luofu Kyoto.
For more than half a month, he has been understanding the situation of the Luofu Dynasty and the forces surrounding the Luofu Dynasty.
Today's Luofu Dynasty is a chaotic whirlpool. Not only is it extremely chaotic internally, but it is also filled with a large number of forces with ulterior motives externally.
In the court hall, the imperial power fell to the side, and the wealthy and aristocratic families controlled the affairs of the court and brought chaos to the court.
At the local level, government offices at all levels are in name only, the generals of various ministries support their own troops, and local wealthy families control people's livelihood and commerce.
Outside the dynasty, there were many enemies surrounding it, such as Chongming Island in the south of the Luofu Dynasty, Luo Xing Island in the east, and Baixing Dynasty in the southeast, etc. These forces all wanted to take advantage of the Luofu Dynasty when it was weak.
Faced with such a situation, the Luofu royal family has not thought about making changes, but the decline of the royal family has not happened in a day or two. The wealthy families in Kyoto have become the biggest obstacle to the revitalization of the royal family.
Now the Luofu royal family is more like a caged bird, with no way to recover.
In this regard, Qin Wei is happy to see the results, a chaotic situation is conducive to him fishing in troubled waters.
Qin Wei now understands Zhao Gao's plan.
Zhao Gao's plan is actually very simple, which is to unite the forces that can be united and attack those forces that cannot be won over.
His primary target is the Luofu royal family.
When Zhao Gao proposed this plan before, Qin Wei was a little surprised.
He did not expect that Zhao Gao would choose the Luofu royal family, but after careful consideration, Qin Wei felt that Zhao Gao's plan was very good.
The royal family is weak, but they hold great righteousness, and the wealthy family is powerful, but no matter what, they cannot legitimately become the emperor of the Luofu Dynasty.
Supporting the royal family makes it easier to control the Luofu Dynasty.
But this plan has a shortcoming, that is, it is impossible for the royal family to hand over the throne to outsiders.
In the end, the royal family is their biggest enemy.
Therefore, Zhao Gao should not only support the royal family, but also prevent the royal family from becoming bigger.
Now Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang have gone to Kyoto. Qin Wei did not veto Zhao Gao's plan, but Qin Wei also had other plans.
It seems very simple to replace the Luofu Royal Family and control the entire Luofu Dynasty, but it lacks a kind of faith and loyalty from scratch.
Qin Wei still felt that it would be better to be a rebel, to create something from scratch, pull up a huge force, completely overthrow the decadent dynasty, and become an emperor who founded the dynasty.
"So now we should recruit troops first!"
"The remaining wealthy families in the city can be won over."
In the study room of the Qin family's mansion, Qin Wei was sitting in a rocking chair and meditating.
"But before that, we must first transform into a truly strong man!"
A truly strong person means that his cultivation must be at the late stage of Jingzhao Realm and the second level of Divine Intention Realm. This should be the realm of the strongest person in the Luofu Dynasty.
Although he now has two masters of the Jizhao Realm, Ye Gucheng and Huang Yaoshi, as well as Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang outside, they are still far behind the top powerhouses in the Luofu Dynasty.
Qin Wei's mind moved and his mind was immersed in the Yitian chessboard.
When he came to Qiongtian Sea Area, he had accumulated more than 200,000 Shi Qi, and now more than a month has passed, and his Shi Qi has been close to 300,000.
"There's still ten thousand left!"
Qin Wei paid attention to the amount of energy on the Yitian chessboard, and his expression moved slightly.
Three hundred thousand is enough to summon a strong person in the late stage of Jingzhao Realm and the third level of Divine Realm. Such a strong person is considered a strong person not only in the Luofu Dynasty, but also in the entire western Qiongtian Sea Region.
Ten thousand force energy can be accumulated in less than ten days.
