Everyone gathered in the main hall. Liu Yan looked at his subordinates. The sad mood he had felt when he saw Lu Xiangsheng leading his troops into battle was dissipated a lot. After greeting everyone, they talked passionately for a long time.
"Okay, now let's talk about business."
Everyone suddenly became quiet.

Many departments will be established under the shogunate, specifically the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Medical Department and the Intelligence Department."

"The Ministry of War is responsible for the training of the new army, the recruitment of new soldiers, and the construction of military equipment.

"In addition, Li Jiwen and Hu Zongming serve as the staff of the shogunate and are responsible for the formulation and planning of various major political policies of the General Military Mansion, as well as making plans and other matters. They can be regarded as the helpers of this town."
"Then there is the Chamber of Commerce. Although the Chamber of Commerce is not an organization directly under the shogunate, the general policies must still be consistent with the shogunate. Therefore, the head of the Wang Hui, which is Lao Taishan of this town, is also a member of the shogunate and is directly responsible to the town. .”
Everyone laughed.
At this time, after Liu Yan introduced the general structure of the shogunate, everyone had a feeling in their hearts that today would be an epoch-making day in Qinglai Town!
Chen Xun said: "General Town, then who is responsible for the commanders of each of our battalions? Is it the Ministry of War?"
Liu Yan said: "You are not under the control of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is only responsible for military preparation, training and recruitment, and is not responsible for commanding troops and horses. You are all directly responsible for this town, and your level is the same as the ministers of each department."
"In addition, all the original levels of commanders and commanders of the ministers have been cancelled. You will no longer have military household registrations. This town will change your household registrations to civilian household registrations."
Everyone was surprised, what do you mean by this?
Wang Wenzhen was the first to say: "Sir, do you want us to waste all our efforts?"
Liu Yan laughed and said: "It's not that your previous efforts will be wasted, but it will broaden the way forward for you. You are all military households. When you follow me further in the future, this military household status will be a prison, so you must break it in advance. .”
"Even though you have no level now, you will have a bright future in the future."
Everyone felt a little at ease, but still a little uncomfortable.
Liu Yanze continued: "The offices of each ministry are set up around the General Military Mansion. The Ministry of Government Affairs is responsible for this matter. The offices of all ministries and departments of the shogunate must be put in place within one month."
"In addition, the ministers of each ministry must report the needs of the required government offices to the Department of Civil Affairs. Minister Wang will coordinate the specific matters."
This was the first task Wang Wenzhen received. Naturally, he took it very seriously and immediately accepted the order with clasped fists. Then Wang Wenzhen gestured to everyone with his fists clasped, and said with a smile: "This time it all depends on your help."
Everyone smiled and returned the favor.
Liu Yan laughed when he saw everyone. He was still thinking about whether to prepare an official uniform system for everyone, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. It was too conspicuous and could easily cause unnecessary trouble.
"There are still vacancies for ministers and officials under each ministry and division. The ministers of each ministry will identify candidates as soon as possible, select personnel from various health stations, and then report the promotion and appointment lists to the Ministry of Government, and they will be appointed one after another after review by the town."
"After the establishment of the shogunate, the vacancies in each garrison must be filled as soon as possible. The Ministry of Government is also responsible for this matter, and priority will be given to selecting and appointing disabled veterans of the new army."
Wang Wenzhen cupped his fists and accepted the order.
After the meeting ended, everyone walked out of the General Military Mansion with smiles on their faces. They were led by Wang Wenzhen, Li Jiwen, and Hu Zongming, because in everyone's eyes, Li Jiwen and Hu Zongming were equivalent to the cabinet counselors of the imperial court, and Wang Wenzhen They are the chief assistants of the imperial court. The three of them have a strong say in what ministries and departments will do in the future.
However, Wang Wenzhen, Li Jiwen, and Hu Zongming were very self-aware. Liu Yannian arranged the three of them into the shogunate out of the favor of his old Shangguan, and gave them a lot of power. However, the three of them wanted to Get into position.
Looking around, who among the people around him is not an old man who has followed Liu Yan through life and death? Especially the commanders of each battalion of the New Army, all of them are Liu Yan's confidants, no one can afford to offend him!
Faced with everyone's compliments, Wang Wenzhen, Li Jiwen, and Hu Zongming quickly returned the compliments in a tacit understanding. Their words and attitudes were very humble, and they did not take themselves seriously at all.
That night, Wu Guojin appeared in Liu Yan's study. After listening to Wu Guojin's report, Liu Yan said with a smile: "Yes, the three of them know how to advance and retreat. I didn't misjudge the person!"
Wu Guojin clasped his fists and said, "If you have no other instructions, sir, I will leave first."
"By the way, has the house I asked you to prepare decided?"
"It's settled, just two streets west of the General Military Mansion."
"good."
Liu Yan smiled and said, "That guy Miao Shao should like it."
Ten days later, Miao Shao, the commander of the new army's guard camp and guerrilla general, got married, and the bride was the embroiderer of the cotton cloth workshop.
Early in the morning, the New Army soldiers from the Guards Battalion of the brigade were marching on the street wearing red and colorful decorations. Miao Shao, wearing a No. 1 Scholar robe, rode in front. Behind him was the eight-carriage sedan to welcome the bride. The embroiderer sat in it with a face full of happiness. .
The people along the way cheered when they saw this. Miao Shao laughed and asked his men to distribute preserved fruits and copper coins. The people competed for them one after another, which was very lively.
Not long after, the large group of people arrived at a brand new house. Miao Shao was a little surprised because this was not his home. The flag commander who led the way smiled and said: "General, this is what the Lord of the Town means. Lord of the Town." It’s inside, sir, please go in quickly.”
Miao Shao felt warm in his heart and led the embroiderer down. The two of them stepped over the brazier and entered the courtyard. They saw that the courtyard they entered was decorated with lights and colorful flowers. There were red flowers everywhere. Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Wang Yue, Zhang Yi , Xu Ming, Shen Tuo, Qian Qian and other battalion commanders, commanders, and generals Qian gathered together, and almost all the ministers and Sicheng were also here.
When everyone saw the groom and the bride arriving, they immediately cheered and came forward, making noises and making noises about Miao Shao's bridal chamber.
After some fun, Miao Shao brought the embroiderer to the main room. When he saw Liu Yan and Wang Yunhe, Miao Shao excitedly kowtowed to the ground and kowtowed with the embroiderer, as if they were meeting their elders.
Liu Yan and Wang Yunhe accepted it calmly.
Liu Yan saw Miao Shao choked and wanted to say something, so he stopped him with a smile and said, "Haha, let's go through the process first, and then we can talk after we lift the hijab if we have anything to say."
Miao Shao obeyed the order and raised his hijab. Miao Shao was stunned by the embroiderer's beautiful face, and everyone watching the excitement outside the door also burst into admiration.
Chen Xun screamed strangely: "Are all brides nowadays so beautiful? What a shame!"
Chen Jiangshi on the side rolled his eyes at Chen Xun, then grabbed Chen Xun's ears and pulled him away. Liu Yan even heard Chen Xun's screams, and everyone burst into laughter.
After the process was completed, Miao Shao took the embroiderer to salute again and said many words of thanks.
Liu Yan smiled and pulled up Miao Shao, and Wang Yunhe pulled up the embroiderer. Then Liu Yan comforted Miao Shao for a few words, and then said to everyone at the door: "Miao Shao is getting married today, so you should hurry up. Anyway, this town only has so much money for weddings." More, first come, first served!”
After saying that, Liu Yan took out a five-hundred-tael silver note and gave it to Miao Shao. Miao Shao was very moved and thanked him repeatedly after taking it. Everyone outside the door was smiling stupidly, thinking in his heart: When will he do it? Can marry a beautiful wife.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. Wang Yue, Wang Wenzhen and others who were blocking the door looked back and saw Wu Guojin striding forward with a solemn face. Everyone gave way.
Wu Guojin entered the house, first clasped his fists and apologized to Miao Shao, and then said to Liu Yan: Lord Qi, someone from the court is here. He is a eunuch, and he also brought several royal guards. He is waiting at the General Military Mansion. Please go back. . "
Liu Yan frowned slightly, and then said to Miao Shao, "I'll go back and take a look first, and you can continue here."
After speaking, Liu Yan rushed back to the General Military Mansion with Wang Yunhe and Wu Guojin.
Miao Shao and others lost their minds. It was not a good sign that eunuchs and guards came to visit. Something big must have happened.
So Miao Shao looked at Xiu Niang with an apologetic look, and Xiu Niang said: "Husband, go ahead, it's important."
Miao Shao ignored everyone's opinions and hugged Xiu Niang directly, and then hurried back to the General Military Mansion amidst the strange screams of the people. Outside, Chen Xun, Wang Wenzhen and other shogunate civil servants and military generals also rushed to the General Military Mansion. Only Chen Jiangshi, Chu Yunfei, Tan Xiaoda and others were left.
In the General Military Mansion, as soon as Liu Yang entered the main hall, he saw a short eunuch with a fair face sitting aside, and four guards in royal robes standing beside him. Just as he was about to ask, the eunuch smiled and said, "It's General Liu." Right? It turns out that Wuquxing descended to earth and is so powerful and majestic. It seems that Jinzhou can be saved!"
Some people died, but not completely...
