Chapter 159 Tax reduction and exemption, 1.5 million coins!
Chang'an City, Lord's Mansion.
"Sir, Black Snake has just sent news that Grant has agreed to our proposal."
Qin Shuang came to report.
"Okay, Grant is quite sensible and informed the front line to immediately implement Plan B."
Tang Jing was very pleased.
It was Qin Shuang who first proposed contacting Grant, but how to use Grant as a "chess piece" was the plan that Chief Shi Wu came up with.
Use the migration token to guide Grant to the neighboring province of Tara.
Thus.
Chang'an can then take Pelican County without any blood and break the alliance's first blockade.
Not only that, with Grant's cooperation, the city guard regiment led by Lian Po could even take advantage of Pelican County and penetrate directly into the rear of Choctaw County, giving the coalition a big surprise.
This is one of them.
In order to gain a foothold in Tara Province, Grant was bound to compete with the local forces in Tara Province, and then set off internal fighting in Tara Province to distract the alliance from Chang'an.
This is the second one.
Once the Tara Province is in chaos, the second defense chain that the Alliance has painstakingly built, with "Tara Province, Bit Province and Ika Province" as the nodes, will become loose.
This is the third one.
Mr. Wu's plan kills three birds with one stone and is a very clever strategist.
Sure enough, the identity of a counselor is more suitable for him.
"Sir, the preparations for the construction of the General Hospital have entered the fast lane. Should we hire a hospital director first so that he can take charge of the subsequent preparations?" Qin Shuang asked for instructions.
Of course, professional matters should be left to professionals.
"Please ask Mr. Hua Tuo to come out and serve as the director of the General Hospital." Tang Jing quickly made up his mind.
Hua Tuo is currently the deputy president of Chang'an Hospital, and the president is the medical sage Zhang Zhongjing.
"This is good!"
Qin Shuang was also very satisfied. The General Hospital was under the Logistics Department of the Military Affairs Administration. With Hua Tuo, a giant in the medical field, as the director of the hospital, it became famous instantly.
Subsequent advancement will also be smoother.
………
After Qin Shuang left.
Tang Jing went to the conference room of the Intermediate Court, where the three directors Xun Yu, Wei Yang, and Xia Yuanji were already waiting.
Three days have passed since the government affairs meeting. The three directors have become familiar with their work and the situation in the territory as quickly as possible, and have come up with their respective policy strategies.
Centrally report to Tang Jing.
The first person to report was Xun Yu, the director of administration.
Historically, Xun Yu served as an official in Cao Wei and became the Minister of the Order. He stayed in the middle for more than ten years and presided over the work of the Chang'an Administrative Office. It can be said that he was familiar with the road.
The first policy suggestion put forward by Xun Yu was to improve the official document system.
It includes formulating working standards for officials, standardizing various work systems such as requesting instructions, reporting, notifications, meetings, evaluations, appointments, use and management of seals, and archives.
Specify the composition and staffing of institutions at all levels, and implement fixed numbers, positions, and responsibilities.
and rating.
Clearly stipulate the scope of authority of each agency and department. It is necessary to put an end to malfeasance, inaction and other acts, and it is also necessary to prohibit administration outside the scope of authority.
Let the entire bureaucracy function in an orderly manner.
This is to regulate people and establish rules.
The second policy suggestion put forward by Xun Yu was to establish Wenyuan Pavilion.
Historically, Wenyuan Pavilion was generally used to store books. The Wenyuan Pavilion proposed by Xun Yu was to be established as an administrative academy dedicated to training and cultivating professional officials.
It is directly managed by the Department of Civil Affairs.
"The territorial officials, including officials at all levels, are both indigenous people and foreigners. They received different educations, grew up in different environments, and even have different outlooks."
"It is necessary to learn from each other's strengths through Wenyuan Pavilion's rotation training, unify thoughts, and unify understanding."
"In addition, when a territory is started, how to understand and implement various rules and regulations also needs to be passed on from top to bottom through training, layer by layer."
"To avoid policy misunderstandings and misjudgments, which will then affect the administration of government agencies at all levels."
This is cultivating people and laying a foundation.
The above two suggestions can be said to be from a high position, and it was no surprise that Tang Jing passed them.
In addition, Xun Yu also put forward specific suggestions on the specific areas in charge. For example, taking advantage of the [Global Construction Acceleration Card] that is half a month away, speed up the construction of official roads in various places.
Start river dredging, management, river dams, ferry construction, etc.
For another example, in order to restore people's support and activate people's motivation, Xun Yu proposed to waive agricultural taxes this year and halve commercial taxes.
All of them were recognized by Tang Jing.
………
The second person to report was Director of Finance Xia Yuanji.
When you open your mouth, you ask for money.
"In order to support local development and resume economic production activities as soon as possible, the Finance Department recommends establishing Chang'an Bank branches in Chang'an County, Macon County and Bay County, and then establishing Chang'an Bank branches in each county."
With so many branches established, bank reserves will naturally have to keep up.
"How much?"
Tang Jing is confident, with 5.6 million gold coins left in his personal account.
Funds are unprecedentedly abundant.
"After calculation, one million gold coins should be able to activate the economy of various places." Xia Yuanji said.
after all.
Chang'an Bank also has millions of gold coin deposits from elves and dwarves.
"Then invest 1.5 million gold coins."
Tang Jing, however, was arrogant, "We must activate the economies of various places in the shortest possible time."
"clear!"
Xia Yuanji was under great pressure.
………
The last one to report was naturally the Director of the Interior Department, Wei Yang.
As soon as Wei Yang came up, he proposed to organize the compilation of the Civil Code and the Criminal Code that suited the actual needs of territorial development, so that Chang'an could step into the era of codes.
It is said that during the three days he arrived in Chang'an, the place where Wei Yang spent the most time was not at the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Department, but at the already built library of Chang'an University.
Crazyly flip through the modern codex and draw new nutrition from it.
Because he stayed up late for three consecutive days, Wei Yang had dark circles under his eyes, but he was full of energy and had an almost fanatical enthusiasm for compiling the code.
Of course Tang Jing had no reason to stop him.
The compilation and implementation of the two codes are also the foundation for the survival of the territory.
Without delay!
The second policy proposal proposed by Wei Yang was to rename the Department of Public Security under the Interior Department to the Department of Home Affairs.
"The Department of Public Security is only responsible for the security of the territory."
"In the past, the jurisdiction was limited to Chang'an City, so there was no problem."
"But now the territory already has three counties, and it will continue to expand in the future. Just a territorial security cannot cover the responsibilities of the Public Security Department."
"Border checkpoints, customs inspections, homeland security, firefighting and other responsibilities should all be brought under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Security, which is the renamed Department of Home Affairs."
This is tantamount to expanding the responsibilities of the Secretary of the Interior.
"At the same time, I suggest setting up patrol battalions at the county level and patrol brigade at the county level. The management authority of patrol battalions in various places should also be transferred to the Department of the Interior."
"The Department of Internal Affairs shall manage the internal affairs department."
"This is inappropriate."
Tang Jing rarely refused, "There is no problem in setting up patrol battalions at the county and county levels, but patrol battalions are combat troops. Even at the local level, they are only responsible for dealing with sudden major public security crises."
"The patrol camp will still be managed by the Military Affairs Administration. This is a matter of principle."
"Nor should he be classified as an interior guard."
"All right!"
When Wei Yang saw this, he could only choose to compromise.
………
Tang Jing met with the three directors for the first time, and the discussion mainly focused on framework suggestions.
The positioning is very high.
They all provide suggestions for the subsequent development and construction of the territory from the aspects of institutions and systems.
It didn't involve too many specific matters.
The first one is that the three directors are still in the process of getting familiar with each other; the second one involves specific matters in the territory, which can be reported through official letters, and there is no need to hold a special meeting to discuss them.
Unless it's a major decision.
In any case, after this meeting, Changan has taken another solid step towards formalized operations. With the help of big bosses such as Xun Yu, Xia Yuanji, and Wei Yang, Tang Jing will be even more handy in the future.
The prospects are very good!
………
Tang Jing consolidated the foundation of internal affairs in Chang'an, and the war on the front line was also advancing in an orderly manner.
Whether it is the Longxiang Legion and Tiance Legion that entered the Beiluo Mountains, or the expanding City Guards Legion, Fengxiang Legion and Flying Bear Legion, they have all arrived at their respective assembly areas.
The ones that deployed relatively slowly were the Longxiang Legion and Tiance Legion that were the first to set off.
Mainly related to the geography of the Beiluo Mountains.
Taking Beiluo Mountain, which has the highest score, as the boundary, the east-west Beiluo Mountain range is divided into the western section and the eastern section. The western section is dominated by dwarf tribes, and the eastern section is dominated by elven tribes.
So.
The Bronzebeard tribe where the dwarf king belongs is located in the western section, and the Elf King's Court is located in the eastern section.
According to the unified deployment of the Military Affairs Administration, the Longxiang Army led by Yue Fei was stationed in the western section of the Beiluo Mountains, and the Tiance Army led by Guo Ziyi was stationed in the eastern section of the Beiluo Mountains.
Each guard his own stall.
Fighting in mountains and fighting on plains are completely different concepts.
Due to the mountainous terrain, the army cannot deploy over a large area like it can on the plains. It can only use mountain tops as strongholds to form a network defense system.
The core nodes among them are the elven tribes and dwarf tribes in the mountains.
The dwarf tribe is okay.
Most of them were built against the mountains, and fortifications were built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
You can use it as you go.
The Elf tribe is a bit worse.
Because they respect nature, elven tribes are often located in mountains and forests. Not only do they not build decent fortifications, they do not even have very clear territorial boundaries.
Many elven tribes don't even have a decent fence outside.
How to resist the black tide?
After the Chang'an army moved in, the first request they made to the elven tribes was to dig trenches outside the tribes, build earthen walls, and build sentry towers, arrow towers and other defense facilities.
During the advancement process, there was actually resistance from the elves.
What to say will damage the environment.
"Well, we don't need to dig trenches or build earthen walls, but there is no need to station in the elven tribe. We can build our own fortifications and defensive positions on the surrounding mountains."
Neither Yue Fei nor Guo Ziyi are used to the elves' arrogance at all.
Can you still tell the difference between the big and small kings?
