Zhong Weihu looked at the man sitting in front of him, fiddling with the lid of the tea cup, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, although he didn't understand what was happening.
"Since Mr. Zhong is here, we should let Mr. Zhong take the person away anyway. Unfortunately, a small incident just happened." He Shen.
"What's up?"
"This Mr. Song was too playful and overly playful. He accidentally injured one of our brothers. Now that brother is still lying on the bed and unable to get off the ground."
Of course Zhong Weihu understood that Toad Village was going to raise a price, and he was not surprised by this.
"Liangzhou will bear all the money needed to rehabilitate the injury. The brothers must not be wronged. Can you let me see the young master first?"
"It's easy to talk about." He Shen pushed the teacup: "Master Zhong, try this tea. In a remote place in the northwest, I'm afraid the tea won't be as good as Chang'an..."
The more anxious Zhong Weihu was, the less anxious He Shen was. The two sides went back and forth, doing Tai Chi. If it were Cheng Dalei, he would have been impatient long ago, but He Shen felt quite happy with it.
He Shen was left to deal with Zhong Weihu, while Cheng Dalei stayed in his study and read the news from Haojia City. With the support of rumors in the world, news from all over the empire would be sent to Cheng Dalei through restaurants.
This was one of the few matters that Cheng Dalei did not leave to He Shen to handle personally.
Looking at it day by day, even Cheng Dalei can't help but worry about the current situation of the empire. There are many princes in various places, and they are disobeying the emperor's orders. Those who can't survive take over the mountains as kings, and there are many bandits. The Rong tribe is not peaceful either.
, once the Prairie King died, the alliance formed by the various tribes was in vain, and everyone began the process of grabbing their own territory.
The Xiyan Ministry ordered more and more weapons from Cheng Dalei, which proved this point in disguise.
"The boss..."
He Shen knocked on the door and came in. Before he knew it, it was getting dark. Cheng Dalei rubbed his sore eyebrows and asked:
"People sent him away?"
"Sent away."
"How did you talk about it?"
"Three days later, they sent over the ransom, asking for a hundred horses, three thousand spears, rice, silk and the like."
"That's all." Cheng Dalei curled his lips. It seemed that He Shen didn't have the basic qualities of a bandit: "It needs less."
"This is just the first payment. When they deliver the things, we can find any excuse and continue to detain the person." He Shen showed a profiteer's smile.
"Hey, you mean you won't let me go?" Cheng Dalei's eyes lit up.
"Of course we can't let it go. This fat sheep is our talisman. As long as it's there, we'll be safe."
Cheng Dalei didn't expect this, so he asked: "Then how long do you plan to lock him up?"
"We can lock him up for as long as he wants, two to three years. We won't tell if he can't be locked up any longer."
"What if Song Bokang calls?"
"This needs to be discussed slowly. The detention should be put under house arrest. The time is dragging on for a long time. Find a wife for Song Bokang and a man for Xue Wenting. After a while, the baby will be with us for the rest of his life. He will be our copycat.
"
"Tsk, tsk." Cheng Dalei had to pay high respect to He Shen. He was indeed the most treacherous official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Look at his method, which is like cutting flesh with a dull knife, killing people invisible.
"It's easy to find a woman for Song Bokang. Any female slave will do. The key is this Xue Wenting. Several brothers have already asked me about it, but I haven't let go. Why don't you, the master, take her in?"
"In the future, you will be the grandson-in-law of the prime minister. If the prime minister doesn't recognize you as his son-in-law, how can he deny his child?"
Cheng Dalei was stunned for a long time, sitting there in trance.
"Master, Master..." He Shen called out several times: "What should I do? Master, please give me a message."
"Let's..." Cheng Dalei raised his head: "Do we need to play so hard?"
He Shen was confused and scratched his head: "What's wrong with doing this?"
Cheng Dalei couldn't understand He Shen, and He Shen couldn't understand Cheng Dalei. The two were so close to each other, but there was an iceberg between them, making it difficult to cross the border.
"It's better to keep them and put them under house arrest in another place." Cheng Dalei.
"Then just do as the boss said." He Shen didn't say anything else: "I'll deal with it right away."
"Wait a minute, you just happened to come over. I have something to discuss with you."
Cheng Dalei took out a stack of things that he had prepared for a long time from the desk. He Shen's eyes lit up when he saw it and said: "Master, it turns out that you haven't been idle these days?"
"Of course, I also have to take care of everything, okay?"
What Cheng Dalei wants to discuss with He Shen is the organizational structure of the village. Currently, there are more than 10,000 people imprisoned in Danqinchuan, plus the people from Toad Island, the people from Luoyuzhai, and the eighteen families headed by Yunzhonglong.
Counting the number of cottages, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 people. Refugees are constantly moving into Qinchuan, and we cannot leave these people alone.
In this way, a strict system is needed to manage everyone. Cheng Dalei has already established military regulations for the village, but it is almost equivalent to putting a patch on a shabby coat.
Today's cottage needs a complete set of systems, once and for all, so that even if the cottage has more people in the future, it can still accommodate it.
This was not an easy task. Cheng Dalei talked a lot with He Shen, and finally called Li Xingzai, Li Waner, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.
These people were probably the smartest people in the village, so Cheng Dalei was very wise and didn't ask Xu Shenji to come over and put an end to the chaos.
Managing a population of 20,000 to 30,000 people, plus more people will join in the future, is not simply a matter of setting a few positions, no matter what the position is, whether it is captain, centurion, or manager, director, etc., it cannot solve the actual problem.
This matter was discussed over and over again, and in the end it took more than half a month.
The current Shanzhai is divided into two sets of teams, the Military Department and the Logistics Department. The Military Department is overseen by Guan Yu, and consists of regiments, battalions, teams, and squads. Each level has a staff officer, which of course can also be called a military advisor. The Logistics Department is headed by Liu Bei.
, assisted by He Shen, but in fact Liu Bei is only responsible for personnel work, while He Shen is responsible for many other issues such as craftsmen, business, education, etc.
As for Xu Shenji, he is almost the same as Cheng Dalei. He seems to care about everything, but in fact, he doesn't care about anything.
From top to bottom, a set of military laws, which can of course also be called the herbal constitution of Toad Village, were drawn up to bind everyone. Even Cheng Dalei himself would be punished after breaking the law.
Cheng Dalei personally led the security team to patrol the city. He bullied a few drunkards and made troubles and gave them a hard lesson, ensuring that this set of laws could be enforced.
Fortunately, the number of people in Toad Village is still small, and the military law was promulgated in a timely manner, so no one has done anything extraordinary. For example, if Gao Feibao kills a bandit brother after being drunk, whether you kill or not is a question.
Led by Cheng Dalei, with the participation of He Shen, Li Xingzai, Liu Bei and others, Cheng Dalei came up with a top-to-bottom system. Naturally, it cannot be said to be perfect, or even qualified, but because it appeared in time, it avoided possible problems in the future.
