Tang Jing held a banquet in the lord's mansion to entertain the newly appointed chief officials.
At the end of the banquet, Chief Shi Wu Sidao came forward and summoned the chief officials of various departments to have a small-scale discussion and express their respective opinions on Chang'an's upcoming privatization and restructuring.
"Considering the financial burden, in this round of restructuring in Chang'an, the soldiers of the garrison division, especially ordinary soldiers, should give priority to the compulsory soldier model, and only receive subsidies instead of wages," said Zheng Dingmei, the Financial Secretary.
There are nearly 10,000 garrison divisions, accounting for nearly one-sixth of the total population of the territory.
If they are all contract soldiers and they have to live and eat in the military camp, it will indeed be a huge expense. If it is more serious, it may even bring down the territory's finances.
Even in modern society, it is impossible to support an army composed of all contract soldiers.
For example, clerks and craftsmen in workshops and factories, after receiving their wages, their main expenses are to purchase food, cloth and other daily necessities, thus forming an internal cycle.
In essence, the quality of life is adjusted through the difference in income. Those with high wages will eat more meat, and those with low wages will eat less meat, thereby mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people to work.
Soldiers do not have such consumption needs. If they receive wages, they will accumulate them.
The financial burden is different.
The ransom of 150,000 gold coins from the orc tribe also gave the greatest confidence to the privatization of Chang'an.
"Can."
Tang Jing nodded and agreed with Ding Mei's suggestion.
Sun Chung-tat, director of the Department of Agriculture, suggested, “Farmers, fishermen, etc. should be allowed to sell vegetables, poultry, fish caught from rivers and other agricultural products on the market.”
"Farmers should not only have food at home, but also some living money to go to the city to buy salt, cloth and other commodities."
Farmers markets are set up just for this.
Zhao Feng, Secretary of the Department of Commerce, suggested that “players with technology and capital should be encouraged to come to Chang’an to invest and operate tailor shops, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, breakfast shops, etc., to stimulate the development of the private economy.”
"When necessary, the territorial bank can also provide loan support."
"You can try it."
When it comes to attracting players, Tang Jing’s previous consideration was only to recruit talents.
Little did I know.
Players are the most sophisticated group, and the most important thing they value most is profit.
If Chang'an allows players to set up self-employed businesses, so that players with skills can build a solid family business in Chang'an, it will definitely be more attractive.
"Not only the catering industry, but in the future, when the time is right, we can also open up the construction industry and even the real estate development industry to attract big capital to settle in." Zhao Feng added.
Talents in the construction industry may not bother to join the construction team of Chang'an Construction Division, but if they set up their own construction company, they may be very interested.
Won’t the talent just come?
"Let's discuss this later."
Tang Jing's eyes dimmed slightly, obviously because he didn't want to take such big steps.
Yao Bo, Director of the Department of Labor, also expressed his opinion, "The wage system recommends adopting position salary + performance to avoid the same type of positions, more work and less work."
It is also a disguised form of stimulating the enthusiasm for labor.
"At the same time, a labor security system must be established to provide strong protection for workers in the fields of pension, medical care, work-related injuries and other areas, so as to avoid worries."
In "Star World", there is also birth, old age, illness and death.
Including players.
Once the physical functions in reality are silenced, it means true death in the "Star Boundary".
You cannot gain eternal life.
"Labor security is one aspect, and we must also encourage residents to get married and have children," Tang Jing added.
The meeting lasted for nearly three hours. In addition to making suggestions on the general direction, it also further discussed relevant operational details, and the framework of the privatization plan was presented that day.
The efficiency can be said to be very high.
Tang Jing also saw the level of high-level talents such as Zhao Feng, Ding Mei, and Sun Zhongda. They really had something to offer, and they immediately raised the level of governance in Chang'an.
It is no longer the former grass-roots team.
………
In the next week, Changan launched a vigorous privatization restructuring.
All construction projects have not been left behind.
On February 21, the outer city wall of Chang'an was officially completed, marking a milestone achievement in the construction of Chang'an City.
Pharmacies, farmers markets, and banks have also been built.
On February 22, the Merlo Pier located on the banks of the Merlo River was officially completed.
The carpentry workshop has been upgraded to a furniture factory, the textile workshop has been upgraded to a clothing factory, the brewing workshop has been upgraded to a fruit wine factory, and the construction of other factories is also progressing in an orderly manner.
Outside Chang'an City, three to five subsidiary villages are built almost every day.
In addition to the affiliated villages, Baishi Town, Huishui Town, Luoye Town, Haiwan Town and Zhaoxia Town are also being planned and constructed simultaneously to become secondary centers in their respective regions.
Chang'an is no longer an isolated city.
During this period, the reorganization of the Chang'an garrison division, under the leadership of Yue Fei, was coming to an end. The Red Flame Brigade and the Trap Brigade had already left Chang'an and were stationed in the established outdoor camps.
This means that a new round of sweeps is about to begin.
But at this juncture, Haiwan Town, which was under construction, came to report that the construction site had been attacked by murlocs. Including the naval training camp built near Haiwan Town, it was also attacked.
"Flocculant?"
Tang Jing received the report and realized that the sea was not safe either.
There are also alien races living there.
Then he summoned the garrison commander, General Yue Fei, "The mission of the Entrapment Brigade and the Red Flame Brigade remains unchanged. We will depart as originally planned and ask the Guards Battalion to follow me to Bay Town."
"Sir, you want to go in person?" Yue Fei was surprised.
"Don't worry!"
With a full guard battalion accompanying him, Tang Jing did not think there would be any danger.
Just in time to see what a fishman looks like.
………
Bay Town was built on the shore of the Playing Bay. When Tang Jing and his party arrived, the entire town was filled with a sad atmosphere. A total of twelve construction workers were brutally murdered by fishmen.
The rest were also injured.
The naval training camp could not escape the disaster. The sailors who had just transferred to their new jobs were almost completely wiped out.
After a round of inspections, Tang Jing looked gloomy and said to the accompanying Military Affairs Director Qin Shuang: "After we return, let the garrison division draw up a patrol plan to ensure the safety of coastal villages and towns."
This was the first time that an ordinary citizen of Chang'an was killed in battle. He had never suffered such a big loss in a fight with the orcs before.
"Should we consider setting up a coastal defense battalion under the City Guard Brigade to be responsible for the defense of the coastline?" Qin Shuang immediately suggested.
"Can."
Tang Jing nodded, "The naval camp must be prepared as soon as possible. If there are no warships, we will fortify the coast."
"clear!"
Qin Shuang nodded and took note.
"Have everything been arranged?" Tang Jing turned to look at Xu Chu, the guard camp commander.
before coming.
He has already inquired about the information about the fishmen from the dwarf Orin, the elf Ace, and others.
"Like the goblins, the murlocs are also a very cunning and ferocious race. It is estimated that their territorial tentacles extend to the sea and threaten the interests of the murlocs, so they launched revenge." Orin said.
This also means——
If the construction of Bay Town is not stopped, the fishmen will come ashore to take revenge later.
But from Tang Jing's point of view, Haiwan Town is located at the strategic location of Playwater Bay and is the outpost of Chang'an entering the sea, so it is bound to be impossible to stop construction.
The conflict between the territory and the fishmen has become irreconcilable.
In this case.
Then we can only suppress them through force and beat the murlocs until they surrender.
The Guards Battalion is here for this purpose.
After the construction team resumed work, the soldiers of the Guards Battalion were also broken into pieces and hid in the already built houses and shops, quietly waiting for the second arrival of the fishmen.
The murloc must be taught a bloody lesson.
But all the soldiers stayed on guard all night, but did not wait for the fishman to come ashore.
"Sir, will the fishman see through this?" Xu Chu asked.
"Probably not."
In order to cover up the enemy's eyes, the soldiers of the Guards Battalion had removed all their armor and weapons before setting off, transported them in wheelbarrows, and covered them with hay, pretending to be a construction team arriving for reinforcements.
The Devil Tiger Knight also deliberately left his mount in the camp.
There is no reason to be found out.
At this moment, on the distant coastline, in the thick fog, there was suddenly a strange whisper.
"Coming!"
Tang Jing, Xu Chu and others were all shocked.
Fishmen are really cunning.
He didn't choose to do it at night, but came in the early morning.
