Yijing, Governor's Mansion
In the early morning, after finishing a boxing exercise in the back garden, Ye Mingsheng returned to his study room and prepared to start a new day of work...
Seeing Ye Mingsheng come to the study, Ye Cheng also brought over the documents that Ye Mingsheng needed to process, and introduced them to Ye Mingsheng one by one:
"Sir, this is the plan for pensions and rewards for soldiers submitted by Lord Gu. This is the memorial sent by Commander Yuan of the First Army. The third is the report on the tax situation of this quarter sent by the Financial Secretary. The two copies saved are the reorganization plans sent by the Second Army and the Third Army!
"In addition, in the afternoon, Shopkeeper Ye of Dadongsheng will report to you in detail the performance of Dadongsheng in the first half of the year, and Director Zhang of the First Manufacturing Administration will also report to you!"
Listening to Ye Cheng's introduction, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly. With the Chief Secretary and the General Staff helping him share the burden, his work today was not too much. After thinking for a moment, Ye Mingsheng seemed to have remembered something, and then asked Ye Mingsheng Cheng asked:
"I remember that Sun Jing'an came to Yi Jing. When did you schedule him to report to work?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Ye Cheng thought for a moment and said:
"According to the schedule, envoy Sun will be sent tomorrow morning!"
After getting this answer, Ye Mingsheng thought about it and said:
"It's not easy for him to come from Licheng. There is still a lot of work to be done in Qilu. As the chief envoy, he has a lot of work. Please adjust his time with Ye Hongsheng. I want to see Sun Jing'an in the afternoon!"
Ye Cheng nodded and said:
"Sir, I understand! I will arrange it right now..."
After asking the maid to make him a cup of Tieguanyin, Ye Mingsheng officially started working. He first opened the plan submitted by Gu Sansi.
Compared with the idea of replacing money with things at the last meeting, this time with the cooperation of various departments, Gu Sansi handed over a complete report. The report was very detailed and formulated corresponding regulations. Ordinary soldiers exchanged land for money. , agricultural tools, fertilizers and other means of production, while generals mainly use kerosene, glass lamps, silk and other luxury goods
In the report, Gu Sansi confidently believed that as long as his plan was implemented, not only could the pension and rewards be completed, but it would also greatly promote the use of commodities such as kerosene, fertilizers, and glass lamps by the Fengwu Army.
Ye Mingsheng is also looking forward to this. Although the goods produced by the Manufacturing Bureau are currently selling well among the top brass in the Fengwu Army, like some gentry, the common people still dare not try these new things, and the main force of consuming these goods is still It is the wealthy Jiangnan area.
Under the current situation where Jiangnan's attitude is becoming increasingly defensive, Fengwu Army's products can no longer obtain a large amount of profits from the Jiangnan region as before, and this profit accounts for one-fifth of the entire Fengwu Army's finances. If Ye Mingsheng If you don’t want to give up these, you must open up new markets.
Therefore, if we can take this opportunity to popularize these products in the areas controlled by the Fengwu Army, so that the people can realize that these products can effectively improve their quality of life, and continue to purchase these products in the future, it will have a huge impact on future fiscal revenue. A good thing·····························
After realizing this, Ye Mingsheng decisively approved Gu Sansi's plan and sent the plan to the staff headquarters to prepare for various departments to jointly implement the plan.
After settling the matter, Ye Mingsheng opened the memorial sent by Yuan Song. In the memorial, Yuan Song told Ye Mingsheng that the banditry in Hebei and Henan had been completely suppressed by the First Army, and the public security situation in Hebei and Henan. It has gradually tended to be good, but what surprised Ye Mingsheng was that at the end of the memorial, Yuan Song made a request to him!
This request is that Yuan Song wants to be transferred back to Yi Jing to serve!
Unlike Guo Zhiping's excuse of being exhausted physically and mentally and taking care of his parents, Yuan Song, who is older, said that he was old and in poor health and his old disease had relapsed, so he wanted to return to Yijing to recuperate for a while and let the medical school students Doctor, let me take a good look at it.
Although they use different excuses, Yuan Song and Guo Zhiping have one thing in common, that is, they both want to return to Yi Jing!
Ye Mingsheng knew very well that these two people were using this to express their attitude to him and accept all his arrangements. Ye Mingsheng was also deeply gratified by this. Although he still trusted these two people, some things still had to be nipped in the bud. , just take advantage of the current break to complete a new round of reorganization, so that they can be reactivated when the war comes!
Guo Zhiping had already thought about it and arranged for him to transition to deputy chief of staff!
However, how to arrange Yuan Song is a problem...
As the recognized first general of the Fengwu Army, Yuan Song plays a decisive role in the army. If he is transferred back to Yi Jing, he cannot be appointed as a deputy chief of staff like Guo Zhiping!
After thinking about it over a cup of tea, Ye Mingsheng still felt that the only option was to appoint the chief of general staff. This position was the most suitable for Yuan Song!
However, during the time when He Jingyun was sent to Yunbin, Zhao Han, the former deputy chief of staff, performed very well. Ye Mingsheng was very satisfied with him and had basically determined that he was He Jingyun's successor. Although Zhao Han is now in name only He is the deputy chief of staff, but he is now in charge of the daily work of the general staff.
Therefore, if He Jingyun is allowed to be the chief of general staff, it will undoubtedly rob Zhao Han's Hu. Will this cause any unnecessary trouble?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng also fell into thinking. After finishing his thinking for a while, Ye Mingsheng made a decision to transfer Yuan Song back to serve as the chief of general staff. As for Zhao Han, he would give some compensation as an appeasement. I believe that Zhao Han His character will not cause any trouble!
Let He Jingyun take over the position of commander of the First Army. As for the position vacated by Guo Zhiping, Ye Mingsheng has decided to leave it vacant for now. The losses of the Third Army are too serious, especially many of them are cavalry. Reorganization is more difficult than that of the infantry. It will cost a lot more money···························
But now that the finances are tight, it is impossible to come up with enough money. Therefore, in order to save the budget, the third division and the fourth division under the Third Army will be merged into one division first. When the finances ease later, they will be restored to the original organization. , As for the general of this division, Ye Mingsheng plans to let Xun Ke take over temporarily.
This time on the Yunbin battlefield, the Fengwu Army generally performed mediocrely. Only Xunke performed very well. Not only did he lead the newly formed Eighth Division to hold back the 50,000 Xuanwu Forbidden Army, but he also performed well in the Battle of Dakou Township. Providing good advice to Guo Zhiping demonstrates his ability.
In fact, Ye Mingsheng had admired Xun Ke, who was known for his resourcefulness, and felt that he was a rare talent. However, it was because of He Jingyun that he was always responsible for reserve affairs.
In Ye Mingsheng's eyes, with Xun Ke's ability, he can serve as the commander of any army under the Fengwu Army, and now is undoubtedly the best opportunity for him to display his talents!
It took about a morning for Ye Mingsheng to finish processing all these memorials and asked Ye Chengyao to return them to their respective departments. Ye Mingsheng got up and prepared to have lunch. If he remembered correctly, the kitchen made it for him at noon. Cumin meat slices, shrimp and cucumber, and a cucumber cold dish are all his favorites.
After enjoying this delicious meal, Ye Mingsheng originally planned to take a nap, but he did not expect that a combination that made his waist and legs sore would come together... ············
As Ye Mingsheng's only daughter so far, Ye Mingsheng still loves Ye Xingtong very much. However, it is a pity that her mother Bai Yuanyuan only wants a boy, and even goes crazy. She wants Ye Xingtong after confinement. Ming Sheng continued to farm.
However, because there was some fresh blood entering the house at that time, Ye Mingsheng was still addicted to the new feeling. After Ye Mingsheng returned from the expedition, Bai Yuanyuan, who knew that she was almost half a woman, also took advantage of Ye Mingsheng's weaknesses. Cruelly, pull Shen Yutong and Jinyu to fold T-shirts together with Ye Mingsheng!
Later, Shen Yutong felt that the influence was not very good, so he quit the group. Although there were only two people left in the group, their fighting power was amazing, which made Ye Mingsheng deeply realize that there are only cows that die from exhaustion, not those that are plowed to death. Tian Zhi’s wise words!
Although I was very tired and exhausted, I have to say that it was really relaxing! Especially since these two are so well-behaved!
Although he really wanted to indulge again, considering that he had to meet guests in the afternoon, Ye Mingsheng overcame Yu Wang and just did a simple massage, and then asked the two of them to wait for him in the evening.
Not a moment later, Ye Mingsheng met Sun Jing'an who came from Licheng in the study.
Sun Jing'an is a very special person in the Fengwu Army. When the Fengwu Army conquered various places in the past, neither Youyan nor Jiyu allowed the original chief envoy to continue to serve. Sun Jing'an from Qilu is an exception...
The reason why Ye Mingsheng allowed Sun Jing'an to continue to serve as chief envoy was also a decision made after comprehensive consideration. Under Ye Mingsheng's policy of recruiting talents regardless of their origins, although there were many talents in the Fengwu Army, they were able to act independently Not many!
After all, there are only a few people such as Cui Shao, Murong Yuliang, Gu Sansi, etc., and these people all have important positions. Although Sun Jing'an has some stains, his reputation in Qilu official circles is still very good. He also did a lot of practical things for the people, making the situation in Qilu much better than that in Jiyu.
Therefore, taking into account the maintenance of Qilu's stability, Ye Mingsheng let Sun Jing'an continue to be in charge of Qilu, but sent dozens of officials to hold some important positions including inspectors. These people firstly assisted Sun Jing'an, and secondly, they also Supervise Sun Jing'an's implementation of reforms.
Sun Jing'an was very happy to be able to meet Ye Mingsheng one day earlier this time. After all, as Qilu Chief Envoy, he still had a lot of work to do. One day's delay in Yijing would mean one day's work was delayed.
After the ceremony, Sun Jingan reported his work to Ye Mingsheng.
"Commander, although the spring plowing in Qilu this year has been affected by some wars, it is generally very good. If God is so kind to the autumn harvest in more than a month, then this year will be a good harvest year. , you can harvest at least two million stones of food..."
"In addition to food, we in Qilu also organized more than 20,000 civilians to repair some water conservancy facilities within the territory, and raised some money from the private sector to build three new canals to ensure the basic water needs of crops. The next step In half a year, we plan to build a reservoir!”
At this point, Sun Jing'an stopped talking and looked at Ye Mingsheng. Ye Mingsheng immediately understood that this was another person who wanted money. Although he was willing to support Sun Jing'an's work, he was really short of money and could only be indifferent. He said calmly:
"Let's put the big project on hold for now! It won't be too late to start planning in a few years!"
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Sun Jingan also pretended to be unwilling and responded:
"Yes! Sir!"
Although he acted a little unwillingly, Sun Jing'an was actually very calm. He had already heard that the Fengwu Army would use various materials to reward and support the army, so he was very clear about the current financial situation of the Fengwu Army. It's very difficult, and I don't intend to ask for money from Fengwu Army.
The reason why he still mentioned this matter to Ye Mingsheng was because the crying child needed milk. Sun Jingan was a little worried that Ye Mingsheng would have to raise taxes on the local government due to financial difficulties, so he complained to Ye Mingsheng. , tell Ye Ming how difficult it is for Sheng Qilu...
Sun Jing'an then reported some information about Qilu to Ye Mingsheng. After listening to his report, Ye Mingsheng also affirmed Sun Jing'an's work, saying that Sun Jing'an did a good job in Qilu and that he would continue to support him in deepening his work. reform!
Romance
Sun Jing'an was naturally very grateful for this and expressed his loyalty to Ye Mingsheng. Seeing that everything that needed to be said was finished, Ye Mingsheng looked at Sun Jing'an with a half-smile. He knew that Sun Jing'an was traveling from Licheng this time. Coming to Yijing is not as simple as reporting to yourself on the surface!
Feeling Ye Mingsheng's gaze, Sun Jing'an also realized that Ye Mingsheng had already seen through his purpose. After understanding this, he no longer had any scruples in his heart, and simply bowed to Ye Mingsheng and said directly:
"Commander General Yin's old leg disease has relapsed in Qilu. The doctor said that he can only use a wheelchair for the rest of his life, so he asked me to ask the commander if he can allow him to retire in Qilu?"
Facing Sun Jing'an's request, Ye Mingsheng smiled, shook his head and said leisurely:
"In my opinion, General Yin is not suffering from a recurrence of his leg disease, but a heart problem! Do you really not trust me so much..."
