Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Qi Feihong asked others: "Is there anything else?"
Shen Yue, the manager of the Li Hall, said: "I request to recruit some manpower to enrich the Li Hall."
Qi Feihong said: "How many people are there in the official hall now? How many people do you plan to recruit?"
Shen Yue said: "There are a total of twenty people in the official hall, including the subordinates. The original manpower was enough, but there were 11,000 new officers and more officials to manage. The subordinates wanted to add five more people for better management. Locally manage the officials of all sizes in Feihu City."
Qi Feihong nodded: "That's right. Manager Shen will figure out how to operate it. The only thing is that employment must be strictly scrutinized. In extraordinary times, enemies must not be allowed to sneak in."
Shen Yue said: "My subordinates will strictly scrutinize this matter and never give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Qi Feihong nodded again: "Is there anything else? We will solve it together today. We cannot delay the development of Feihu City."
Everyone shook their heads, and Qi Feihong said: "I asked Manager Jiang before, and Manager Jiang said that there are 45 million people in Feihu City, of which about 20 million are cultivators. However, because statistics are not easy, there is no way to know the number of cultivators. What is the strength of the cultivators? Now I want to know, in the past three months, have you thought of a way to count the distribution of the strength of the immortal cultivators? "
Everyone looked at Jiang Chaoyuan, and Jiang Chaoyuan shook his head: "My subordinate is stupid and has not thought of a good solution for the time being."
Qi Feihong said: "Don't you all know how to count?"
Everyone shook their heads, no one knew how to count. Qi Feihong said in a deep voice: "This shows that there are huge loopholes in our management, and it also shows that our management methods urgently need to be changed, or upgraded."
Everyone looked at Qi Feihong with doubts on their faces. Jiang Chaoyuan said: "This is how my subordinates have always managed Feihu City..."
Qi Feihong interrupted Jiang Chaoyuan: "The times are progressing, the situation is changing, and management methods must keep up with the progress of the times and changes in the situation, otherwise, we will be eliminated. Listen up, everyone, from now on, except the city lord Except for government personnel and all soldiers, all non-official personnel are subject to the area management system."
Everyone obviously didn't know what area management meant. They all looked at Qi Feihong with blank expressions on their faces. Qi Feihong explained: "To put it simply, Feihu City is divided into states with similar populations based on the population distribution in Feihu City. Each state is responsible for one person, called the governor. The governor is responsible for governing the region. All matters, large and small, are directly managed by the governor."
Jiang Chaoyuan said: "Then how many states should Feihu City be divided into?"
Qi Feihong said: "There are 45 million people in Feihu City, and five million people form one state. There are nine states in total, and there are nine governors, who manage the affairs of the state respectively. Each state has ten counties, each with 500,000 people. Each county has a county magistrate, who has full jurisdiction over the affairs of the county; each county has ten villages, each with 50,000 people, and a village chief, who also has full authority to manage the affairs of the village. Yamen at all levels can be established regardless of the state, county or village. , it is convenient to handle all kinds of affairs, and it is also convenient for people to come and do things.”
Jiang Chaoyuan said: "My subordinates will make arrangements immediately, but it will take some time to complete. Please allow the city lord some grace."
"Six months," Qi Feihong said: "Six months should be enough. Let's talk about how to operate it later, come up with a feasible plan, and operate according to the plan. We can also learn from other cities. If other cities already have similar management methods."
Shen Yue said: "I'm afraid no city in the Red Dragon Kingdom has been managed in this way yet. Our Feihu City is the first to try it, and there is nothing we can learn from."
Qi Feihong said: "That's okay. Everyone, think about it, formulate a plan according to my ideas, and implement it." He paused: "This matter is the top priority of Feihu City in the next six months. , everyone must go all out, understand?"
Everyone said together: "I will obey the city lord's order, and we will do our best."
Qi Feihong nodded: "Then let's do it. In addition, Feihu City is short of spiritual coins. Can you guys solve this problem?"
Everyone shook their heads together, no one dared to take on such a task. Qi Feihong had expected this and was not surprised: "Isn't there anything you can do? Then I would like to ask everyone, where did the spiritual coins for the expenses of Feihu City come from in the past?"
Jiang Chaoyuan said: "The shops in the city pay commercial taxes every month, which is the main source of income for the City Lord's Mansion. In addition, the City Lord's Mansion also has some industries that generate some income every month. Apart from these, there is no other income."
Qi Feihong said: "How many spiritual coins are there for monthly taxes? How many spiritual coins are there for industrial income? How many spiritual coins are needed for all expenses?"
Jiang Chaoyuan said: "The monthly tax revenue is about 500,000 spirit coins, and the industrial income is less than 100,000 spirit coins. In the past, the normal monthly expenses were about 500,000 spirit coins, which is the same as the tax revenue. But now there are 11,000 more soldiers, and each The monthly expenses will need to be increased by at least one hundred thousand spiritual coins, plus the establishment of prefectures, counties and villages, the addition of officials at all levels, etc., I am afraid that we will be unable to make ends meet every month in the future."
Qu Hu, the steward of the military hall, said: "Recently, the military hall will build a new barracks and configure related facilities, which will also require a large amount of spiritual coins."
Qi Feihong said: "I will solve this matter. Don't worry, there will be spiritual coins. As for the new barracks in the military hall, I suggest that we set aside some palaces in the city lord's palace and use them as temporary barracks. There is no need to worry. put up."
Everyone looked at Qi Feihong, and Qi Feihong said: "The city lord's palace is very big, and many palaces are empty. It is not a bad idea to set aside some for the military hall and temporarily use them as new barracks. Don't think too much, that's it. Do."
Qu Hu said: "Even so, the monthly military expenditures of the soldiers are still a large amount. According to the previous expenditure of the guard army, it will be at least hundreds of thousands of spiritual coins every month. If there is a war, the military expenditures will become Multiply.”
Qi Feihong said: "I have already said that there will be spiritual coins. Manager Qu doesn't have to worry about military expenses. You don't have to worry about all the managers. We will ensure that there are enough spiritual coins for you in a month at most."
Qi Feihong didn't explain much and looked confident and unworried. He really doesn't have to worry, isn't it just spiritual coins? If he wants it, there are many ways to get it.
Although Qi Feihong cannot be said to be a business genius, he has seen various methods and means of making money when he was on earth. If he uses it, he will soon earn a large amount of spiritual coins for use in Feihu City. develop.
When Qi Feihong was at Feixianmen, he temporarily took over the auction house. Didn't he do it well and gain a lot? At that time, he wanted money but not money, people but no one, and power but not power. Unlike now, he is the city lord. With an order, he can have as many people as he wants and do whatever he wants.
In short, Qi Feihong is not worried about the spirit coins at all. What he is more worried about now is the lack of time. Qiankun Cave will not give him enough time to develop and expand the strength of Feihu City.
Qi Feihong left Qu Hu behind and bounced off Feihu City's defense with Qu Hu alone, asking many sensitive questions. After all, Qu Hu had been in charge of the military hall in Feihu City for many years. He answered Qi Feihong's questions fluently, and many of his defensive measures were approved by Qi Feihong.
However, Qi Feihong still put forward a lot of his suggestions and opinions, asking Qu Hu to quickly organize manpower to solve the loopholes in the defense to prevent the enemy from attacking Feihu City through these loopholes and catching Feihu City by surprise.
Qu Hu saw that Qi Feihong seemed to be very proficient in military affairs, and he admired him deeply. After the two had a heart-to-heart talk, Qu Hu no longer had any doubts about Qi Feihong. He followed Qi Feihong's wishes and quickly went back to rectify the defense loopholes.
After coming out of seclusion, he was busy dealing with the affairs of Feihu City. Qi Feihong had almost no time to pay attention to Huangfu City and Fairy Nihuang. After he sent Qu Hu away, he had time to say a few words to Huangfu Cheng and Fairy Nihuang, but Fairy Nihuang arranged to meet Qian Zhirou again.
What Fairy Nihuang means is that Qi Feihong and Qian Zhirou have been separated for three months. After leaving the quarantine, they should meet with Qian Zhirou as soon as possible to report that they are safe.
Qi Feihong couldn't say anything else, so he said goodbye to Huangfu City and Fairy Nihuang, and went to see his third wife Qian Zhirou.
