In the Fuding Restaurant in Wanshou City, there were many city defense soldiers in military uniforms resting on the first floor. They came and went like the wind one by one. After they sat down, someone immediately offered them tea.
In addition to the city defense soldiers, there were occasionally scholars, clerks, and people dressed differently from ordinary people staying in the restaurant.
This restaurant was not opened by ordinary people.
It was opened by Zhao Jianguo, who was trusted by General Zhennan. For this reason, Chief Shi Shen Yi wrote a special approval note. After the Fuding Restaurant opened, other shops on the street also tentatively opened.
Some of the owners behind these shops are descendants of the aristocratic families who followed Yuan Shu, and some are officials from the General's Mansion.
The official ones mainly opened grain shops.
As long as the people in the city follow the instructions and follow the craftsmen of the Construction Department to build the city, they can receive a food stamp, which can be exchanged for food at the grain shop.
Through this method, the military government reduced a large amount of manpower and material resources, mobilized the enthusiasm of the people under its command, and also used food stamps to temporarily serve as currency within the military government system.
It's like killing several birds with one stone.
At this time, the two people arrived at the restaurant and were led to a private room on the second floor by the waiter.
One of them looked a little pale. He stood at the window of the private room and looked outside. Wanshou City, which was in dilapidated condition three months ago, was changing day by day.
Now it has restored some of its original appearance.
The people on the street still have a trace of fear from when the city was destroyed and poisoned, but this uneasiness will soon be erased by time.
“It’s only been three months, but the changes have been huge!”
Qiao Xuan sighed softly.
Through the window, he could see his mansion in the distance. Before the Huainan Army attacked, Qiao's mansion occupied half of the street in the city.
After the military government captured Wanshou City, General Zhennan asked Zhao Jianguo, the head of the Construction Department, to lead people to repair the city and re-plan the streets and houses in the city.
Chief Shi Shen Yi personally stayed here for two months, and it was not until a month ago that he was replaced by a stallion.
Now that Wanshou was established as a county, Bu Zhao not only served as the envoy of Zhongjun Town, but also served as the magistrate of Wanshou County. Responsible for the civil affairs of Wanshou.
"The changes are not small!"
Bu Zhao nodded and said.
He and Qiao Xuan were old friends. After coming to Wanshou, the two naturally deepened their relationship.
three months ago.
Qiao Rui, who stayed in East Lake without moving, sent a message to Qiao Xuan, conveying the identity of the Qiao clan leader to Qiao Xuan. Then he could not bear the backlash of his injuries and died.
Qiao Xuan followed the instructions in the letter and transported Qiao Rui's body to the outside of Wanshou City for burial.
I have been dealing with funeral matters these days. I just have free time today.
"I heard that after Master Zhao completed the Wanshou City, he went to East Lake and planned to build another city on the shore of East Lake?"
After the two sat down, Qiao Xuan asked.
"Yes, East Lake is the foundation of my lord. A county has been established, and what is being built now is the county seat! East Lake City is completed, and the construction department will go to Quy Nhon to build the city..."
This is not a secret, so Bu Zhi said it casually.
"Two new cities have been built, including Wanshou and Sihong. General Zhennan now has four cities!"
Qiao Xuan sighed in praise.
It is conceivable that with Zhao Jianguo, a talent inherited from a top master craftsman, in charge of the Construction Department, more cities will appear in the future.
Every city is the foundation and heritage of a force.
These days.
Wang Jing, Bu Zhi, Shen Yi, Zhu Wu and others continued to sort out, and a simple but complete system network gradually enveloped Quy Nhon and Wanshou.
Shen Yi also moved tens of thousands of people from Quy Nhon to Van Tho, restoring the city's vitality and vitality. valley
The four cities are the four county towns.
It is equivalent to a mansion in the source world.
Bu Zhi and Qiao Xuan were in the private room, drinking and talking at the same time. Bu Zhi was mainly talking, telling Qiao Xuan about the overall changes of the Sihong Army in the past few months.
In addition to civil affairs, the biggest change in the military government is that the soldiers in the army have been fully trained.
Veterans led new recruits, and 50,000 soldiers were trained and reorganized and began to integrate.
Those Huainan soldiers with unruly personalities were scattered and filled into the army. Through training and continuous cleaning up of bandits in the territory, as well as the defeated soldiers who fled during the war.
The army has been kneaded together and has considerable fighting power.
By doing this, the Zhennan Army's illusory foundation has been consolidated, and it is no longer the strong external force it once was.
"By the way, many of Brother Qiao's clan members have already established themselves in the military government, and some of them have been favored by the chief historian and are ready to be promoted to the chief registrar of Sihong County!"
"With their support, it will not be difficult for the Qiao family to lay down a foundation in the military mansion!"
Bu Zhao squeezed the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Brother Bu!"
Qiao Xuan quickly thanked him. Without Bu Zhao's relationship, even if the Qiao family members were capable, they would not have been promoted so quickly.
To know.
After the army defeated Sun Ru, General Zhennan's name spread throughout the world.
After the military government promulgated the recruitment order, a large number of scholars applied, including many scholars from various dynasties, as well as many children from down-and-out aristocratic families and poor families.
During the first recruitment, more than 700 scholars submitted letters.
Since there were too many scholars who defected, the military government was unwilling to let these talents go, so they all were hired. However, after being hired, they must start from the lowest level as village officials.
If you are really a talented person, you can make an exception and enter the military government, but you have to be promoted slowly from the bottom scribe.
This approach makes many scholars dissatisfied.
If they want to be officials in the source world, the minimum they need is to be the chief county lieutenant... However, the Zhennan General Mansion now only has four counties, so it is unrealistic for them to start as the chief county lieutenant.
Therefore, they can only quell their dissatisfaction and follow the rules of the military government to meritorious service and promotion from the bottom.
Fortunately, the military government is expanding rapidly and lacks talents.
As long as you work hard and make some achievements, you will be promoted quickly.
But there are so many people doing things, and very few people can be promoted to the level of chief clerk. If a member of the Qiao clan can occupy a quota, someone must take care of it.
"Brother Qiao is now the patriarch of the Qiao family and shoulders the important responsibility of inheriting the clan. You and I are both natives, so I can help you as much as I can!"
Bu Zhao said.
Hearing this, Qiao Xuan felt a little moved and quickly raised his glass to express his thanks again.
"Alas! After my clan brother was gone, I realized what pressure is. It's not easy for the clan to gain a foothold in this world!"
He sighed.
Bu Zhao's eyes lit up slightly, and he said tentatively: "I do have an opportunity here. If Brother Qiao is willing, the Qiao family will definitely get great benefits..."
"what chance?"
Qiao Xuan asked quickly.
Bu Zhi said softly: "Three months ago, Zhu Wu once advised the lord to get a wife as soon as possible... The lord agreed at that time! Now that the civil and military affairs of the military government have been straightened out, this matter has become a major event at present!"
"Brother Qiao's two daughters are the beauty of the country. If Brother Qiao is willing to marry the Lord, why worry about the Qiao clan not being prosperous?"
