Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 4 Entrepreneurship (3)

Before Xiao Tang finished speaking, Su Minshun continued to add: "The roads, irrigation canals and other facilities in Qingyang Prefecture have been in disrepair for a long time. If we don't find a way to restore them as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will seriously hinder industry, commerce and agriculture. development."

---- Mo Lun also went on to add; "The most serious problem now is the lack of talents, especially administrative and management professionals who can perform various jobs. If this is not resolved in a short period of time, all jobs will soon be in trouble.”

----Wufeng nodded, and at the same time, he was very clear that these problems needed to be solved urgently, but there are so many problems at present, and it is impossible to spread all the work at once, so we can only choose the problems that must be solved immediately , "Chongxin, Wenxiu, and you guys, express your own opinions, don't sit there and be a Bodhisattva." Wufeng looked at these people in the military.

----In fact, these people have also considered the difficulties that exist now, but they are not so comprehensive. When Xiao and Tang listed these problems one by one, they all felt a little headache. With so many problems in front of us, which one is more important, which one is urgent and which one is slow, we really need to think carefully.

----Seeing that a few people are thinking hard, Wufeng will not force them anymore. After all, these people have devoted all their energy to the formation of the army for a while, and they have no extra thoughts to consider other issues. , that is, the difficulties in the army have already kept them busy for half a year. "Xiao Tang, then tell me how you plan to carry out your work. What is the primary problem at present?"

----"My lord, in fact, these problems are just two words in the final analysis, one is people, the other is money, and the two complement each other, influence each other, and depend on each other. No one is empty talk, the factory No one works in the workshops and shops, no one cultivates the farmland, no source of military personnel, no labor force for infrastructure construction, and no one even buys the goods in the shops; but if you want to have people, according to the current actual situation in Qingyang Prefecture, there is only a large number of recruits. Foreign immigrants, but in order to absorb a large number of immigrants, there must be several prerequisites, one is good social security, the other is preferential tax policies, the third is sufficient employment opportunities, and the fourth is necessary material guarantees. Achieving the above points and making the government run normally requires a lot of money, and only after the economy develops can there be enough tax revenue to maintain the daily expenses of the government and the army." Xiao Tang had already prepared, seeing Wu Feng asked From the beginning, the response was fluent.

----"Continue talking." Wufeng encouraged.

----"Actually, we don't have no foundation at all. After all, the transportation location of Qingyang Prefecture is here, and no one can replace it. This is also the base of the leather processing industry. Now the local people are very supportive of us. So we can still come up with some solutions." The more Xiao Tang said, the more confident he became.

---- "Then tell us what measures we are going to take now?" Wufeng was also very interested, and everyone except Mo Lun and Su Minshun also pricked up their ears, because these plans were originally planned by the three of them. jointly conceived by people.

----"We are preparing to formulate preferential immigration policies and tax policies, specifically to increase publicity and encourage people to settle down in Qingyang. From now on, all business operators in Qingyang Prefecture, including Qingyang The existing industrial and commercial operators in the government are exempted from all taxes for two years, and the collection is halved in the third year; those engaged in the financial and entertainment industries are exempted from all taxes for one year, and the collection is halved in the second year; those engaged in handicraft and service industries For those who live here, the government can provide them with low-cost rental housing services; those who are engaged in agricultural production and settle down here can get at least ten acres of land free of charge, free of all taxes for three years, and the government will provide him with free crops for the first year Seeds can also be used to provide loans or loan guarantees for him to buy farm tools, livestock, and build houses. If the per capita area exceeds 10 mu, it will belong to him as long as he cultivates it for three consecutive years, but he is not allowed to buy, sell or throw it away, otherwise the government will Take back the land; if you can’t find a worker in Qingyang Prefecture, the government guarantees to arrange a job for them, and you can choose to join the army or engage in municipal construction employment. We will also set up a recruiting hall to welcome talents from the empire and all over the mainland to work in Qingyang Prefecture. At the same time, you are also welcome to recommend others. If the recommendation is true and is hired by the government, you can also give the recommender a certain amount of rewards according to the situation. The government still has a lot of vacancies for middle and high-level positions." Xiao Tang finished the plan in one breath, "In addition, the first priority is to solve the problem It is hoped that the army will wipe out the horse thieves and bandits in Qingyang Prefecture in a short period of time, otherwise these plans cannot be implemented."

----Wufeng listened to Xiao Tang's plan with great interest, but he soon discovered a problem, but he couldn't interrupt Xiao Tang's speech, so he had to bite the bullet and listen to it. Put forward: "Xiao Tang, the plans drawn up by the three of you look very beautiful, and the prospects are also very good, but in these plans are tax relief, loans and loan guarantees, and what else is provided for free, which requires a lot of effort. A lot of money, now we don't even have the next month's salary, where are you going to get the money?"

----"Yes, we need to carry out the task of suppressing bandits immediately, but now there are insufficient soldiers, insufficient training, and lack of equipment, especially armor, and the salaries of the soldiers have not yet been paid. I need it." Liang Chongxin and Cui Wenxiu cried out in unison.

---- "The issue of money is a matter for you, the city guard of Qingyang Prefecture in the Northwest County of the Empire. I believe that the Lord must have a solution to solve this problem that is not a problem." Xiao Tang didn't even blink Just a straight answer.

----"What? It's easy for you to say, such a huge plan, even the initial start-up funds..." Wufeng screamed, and for a moment he was not sure how much money was needed to start it, so he couldn't help but paused.

---- "At least 4,000,000 gold coins." Su Minshun held back his laugh and said it for Wufeng.

----"Yes, at least 4,000,000 gold coins are needed." Wufeng repeated it quickly, and he was taken aback by the amount after speaking, "4,000,000 gold coins? Where do you want me to find such A lot of money, this is a castle in the air!"

----Several other members of the army were also taken aback by this figure. This is simply a joke. How could such a large sum of money be raised?

----"My lord, you don't need to be anxious. Although the amount is not small, it is necessary in terms of needs, otherwise our development plan is just empty talk." Xiao Tang sincerely said to Wufeng remonstrance.

----"You don't need to explain this, but after all, the amount is too big. Where do you want me to get it? Even if I want to grab it, I have to have a goal." Wufeng couldn't help but sighed. in one breath.

---- "My lord, it's not that there is no solution at all. There are a few ways to try. Of course, you have to do it yourself, my lord." Xiao Tang suggested with confidence.

----"Well, I didn't think of a single solution, but you actually said that there are still a few options to choose from, so please tell me." Wufeng looked at Xiao Tang suspiciously.

----"One is to borrow from the merchants in Qingyang Mansion, with the government as a guarantee, I think I should be able to borrow part of it." Xiao Tang said the first method with confidence.

----"If you have the cheek to borrow, I'm afraid you can borrow part of it, but after all, the situation is not completely stable now, and these businessmen have been in a downturn for so many years, it may be very difficult if the number is large. "Wu Feng also calmed down to analyze.

----"There is another way is to ask the central government of the empire." Xiao Tang squeezed these words through his teeth.

---- Wufeng's eyes lit up, he was tall, really tall. "Why did the central government of the empire give us so much money?" Kang Jianguo, who had been silent all this time, couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that Wufeng and the others looked thoughtful, he really couldn't figure out why the empire would give us so much money. Qingyang.

----"Because it has to give, otherwise, once the situation here deteriorates, it will lose more than just a few million gold coins." Wufeng said slowly. "However, there is still a lot of work to be done, and it cannot be done in a day or two.

---- "My lord, you can borrow part of the emergency from the merchants here, but the amount should not be too large, as long as you can handle it, lest these merchants lose confidence. If it is not possible, you can also sell part of the war The spoils of war. In addition, it may be necessary to invite adults to come forward to do the work of these businessmen, and ask them to take the lead in moving their properties, family members and relatives back to Qingyang. This way, it can play a very good role in promoting.” Su Minshun also proposed his own the opinion of.

---- "No, absolutely not, we have made arrangements for these war horses." Liang, Cui, Mu, and Ka strongly opposed it together.

----"The sale of war horses is not considered for the time being. First, these war horses are quite good, and training is not easy. Second, if they are sold, they can only be sold to the army. No matter which forces are nearby, they are not suitable. It will only increase the damage to us. Threat." Wufeng also disagreed.

---- "My lord, the matter of suppressing the bandits cannot be delayed for too long. I have already arranged for people from the Intelligence Bureau to go down to collect information. The army here must hurry up and get ready." Mo Lun also published opinion.

----Wu Feng looked around at everyone present, "Today's meeting was very good, especially the three of you, Xiao Tang, Mo Lun, and Su Minshun, have done a good job in this period of time. The solutions are very practical, and they are now being put into practice. I will be in charge of borrowing money from businessmen and doing their work, and you will be responsible for the specific handling. The reorganization and training of the troops should be done within a month. If it works, what we have to deal with are horse thieves and bandit organizations, I believe that with our current strength, there will be no big problem, maybe these horse thieves and bandits can supplement our personnel and funds.” Speaking of this, several troops present The general's eyes could not help but brighten up, "In addition, the work of collecting information on these horse thieves and bandit organizations must be stepped up and meticulous. After these things are ready, I have to go to the imperial capital. Everyone must hurry up when they go down for these tasks Proceed."

----The next day, that is, November 26, the administrative agencies of Qingyang Prefecture were announced to be established, and Wufeng also announced his appointment. Appointed Xiao Tang as director of Qingyang government administration department and director of finance department, culture, education and health department; appointed Mo Lun as director of Qingyang government interior affairs department; Considering that Luman is still a member of the army, the Combat Readiness Department had to be temporarily presided over by Luman.

----On November 27th, Wufeng held a banquet at Linfengju, the most famous restaurant in Qingyang Mansion, for famous businessmen and gentry in Qingyang Prefecture. Rong, some of those who did not receive the invitation even took the initiative to find Xiao Tang and others, requesting that they also be included in the invitation list, and Xiao Tang also fulfilled their requests one by one.

----The hall of Linfengju was already very lively, with a total of ten tables, and nearly a hundred people had filled the hall. Businessmen and gentry brought their wives and concubines to show their status. When Wufeng led the Qingyang government military and government officials under him into the hall, the audience burst into warm applause.

----Among the warm applause, Wufeng started his opening remarks: "Gentlemen and ladies, first of all, I would like to thank you for your honor and participation in this banquet. I am deeply honored for your presence. Today, The people gathered here are all elites from all aspects of our Qingyang government, and they have all made important contributions to the development of our Qingyang, let us toast to a better tomorrow for our Qingyang!" After finishing speaking , Wufeng took the lead to drink the wine in the glass, and everyone in the hall also stood up one after another, toasting each other.

----"Yesterday, our government agency was officially established and started to work normally. In order to promote the better development of our Qingyang Mansion, we have formulated a series of preferential policies that will be implemented soon. Please invite the Xiaotang Department now Announce these preferential policies for everyone." Wu Feng chatted and laughed happily, and launched the upcoming policies.

----"According to the actual situation of Qingyang, in order to promote the revival and development of Qingyang, after research and soliciting the opinions of some people, and reporting to Mr. Li for approval, we will fully implement the following series of policies." When Xiao Tang After announcing and explaining the policies to be implemented one by one, the hall was already full of voices. The businessmen whispered to each other, discussing the terms of the policy that affected their interests.

----Wu Feng and Xiao Tang had expected this scene long ago, and they did not stop it. They let the merchants discuss it, and it lasted for quite a while before it calmed down. In the end, Zhan Zhaobai stood up, "My lord, this plan should be said to be quite detailed and practical. Everyone here and I also believe that if this policy is fully implemented, the revival of Qingyang Mansion is just around the corner. But such a huge A plan must be backed by considerable funds, as far as I know, the current financial situation of Qingyang Mansion is not optimistic, let alone support such a huge plan." Everyone in the hall was also discussing, Obviously, they are not ignorant of Qingyang Mansion's finances. It is really unbelievable where such a huge amount of money comes from.

----With a confident smile on Wufeng's face, he motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then he explained calmly: "I have already considered your concerns, and it is definitely impossible to implement such a plan given the current financial situation of Qingyang Prefecture. plan, but please rest assured that I will be responsible for solving the problem of funds, absolutely guarantee the implementation of the plan, and will never pay a cent from everyone. Everyone has understood the policy announced by Mr. Xiao just now. It is an excellent opportunity. I attended your banquet some time ago, and many people expressed their support for my work. What I ask you to support me now is to ask you to move your property, family and relatives back to Qingyang. And expand the scale of production, this is the greatest support for me.”

---- "There may still be people who are worried about the invasion of foreign enemies, and the social security situation is not good. I am here to assure everyone that as long as I, Li Wufeng, are in Qingyang for one day, this kind of thing will never happen, and we will soon Start the rectification action of social security ~IndoMTL.com~ As for the effect, I believe everyone will see it soon." Speaking of this, Wufeng changed the subject, "But according to the information I have, there are many people in our Qingyang Mansion I have close contacts with foreign enemies and bandits. In this case, is it considered collaborating with the enemy? I, Li, the city guard position is filled with the enemy's corpse, and the official hat is also stained red with the enemy's blood. I don't think so. I hope that the corpses and blood of my own people will add color to my position." Although Wufeng's tone was casual, his last glance at the people in the hall made everyone feel chills, especially those who had ghosts in their hearts. Both trembling, cold sweat dripping.

"I hope that those who had these behaviors in the past can go to Director Moran and make it clear that I can let go of the past. If you try to get away with it, get away with it, or have new behaviors, then don't blame the surname Li His subordinates are ruthless."

---- There was silence in the hall, "Of course, I'm not saying that you can't do business with people like Luobei people, but that you can't do business with people such as weapons, armor, grain, salt, and tea that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The materials must be properly controlled, and large transactions of such materials must be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the record, and other scattered transactions are not subject to this restriction.” Prior to this, Wufeng had discussed and analyzed it with Xiao Tang and Mo Lun, and Luo The humble people and horse thieves and bandits have been rampant in this area for many years, and they must have colluded with some unscrupulous businessmen in this area, so I also took this opportunity to shake the mountain and shake the tiger to remind these people.

----"In short, I hope that everyone here can abide by the law, earn a lot of money, make a fortune, and contribute to the creation of a prosperous new Qingyang!" The feast ended with Wufeng's words It started with thunderous applause, but many people, unwilling to eat, were worried about whether to report to the Internal Affairs Department after the banquet.
