In the past, many scholars did not dare to follow Qinchuan because Qinchuan was a rebel before, and they were afraid that after the imperial court would recover Jinglelan County, they would settle accounts with them after the autumn.

Since Zhu Youjian personally removed Qin Chuan's crime of rebels and appointed him as a guerrilla general, many poor scholars and poor scholars from Jingle, Lan County and nearby prefectures and counties have come to surrender.

Qin Chuan, referring to the six ministries and six-house system of the court, established his own internal affairs system, established the Department of Official Affairs, Household Affairs, Science and Education, Industry, Military Affairs, and Criminal Law, and added the Department of Finance to specifically manage money, grain and taxes.

The appointment and removal assessment of officials in charge of the official department was led by Qin Chuan's father-in-law Wen Cheng as the director. Although Wen Cheng was new, he had already become famous and had a father who was a high-ranking official in his family. Compared with Wang Jizong, he could better suppress those down-and-out scholars and poor scholars.

The Ministry of Revenue in the Ming court was in charge of land, household registration, money, grain and taxes and other accounting and finance. Qin Chuan divided the money, grain and taxes to the Finance Department, retained other functions, and increased the relevant functions of water conservancy, irrigation and animal husbandry, with Wang Jizong as the director.

The Science and Education Department belongs to the cultural department. In addition to establishing schools in various counties and villages, it also established several scientific research departments. Qin Chuan put all those who specialize in strange and erotic skills, those who study literary and geography, and those who specialize in strange and erotic skills into me. There are also people who are more specialized in various industries who are also doing part-time scientific research, and bringing a group of people who learn to do physics, chemistry, machinery and medicine, etc., and Song Zhiting, who likes painting and ink painting and chanting poetry, serves as the director.

The Industrial Department is responsible for all the hard work such as guns, gunpowder, mining, cement, and brick burning. The most famous Chen Zhan is appointed as the director, and Li Xuejing and Yan Sanqi are appointed as the deputy director.

The Military Affairs Department is in charge of military affairs, so Qin Chuan is naturally the director.

The Criminal Law Department regulates criminal and public security. An old bandit named Niu Sanchun was appointed as the director. This guy was lame and could not go to the battlefield. He was more good and evil in his character, and he was principled and reasonable in his work. Qin Chuan asked him to manage criminal law.

The Finance Department manages all expenses such as financial power, money, grain, taxes, and money, so naturally Qin Chuan himself serves as the director and plans to hand it over to his wife in the future.

Below these seven departments, there are various departments in charge of corresponding affairs. Jingle City and Lancheng County Office still retain the original departments and corresponding officials. These people still belong to the court's officials, eat the food and wages of the court. Follow Qin Chuan's words, they govern according to the government orders of the seven departments under Qin Chuan. Simply put, they are local institutions.

Each village and township has a village chief or town mayor, and a secretary and a financial officer are also appointed to be responsible for the work of documents and property. There are also a village chief under these three village officials. Based on the Ming Dynasty's Lijia system, a village chief and ten Jiashou maintain the public order of the village, and a group of them rotated every year.

The Guandi Army, which was previously responsible for maintaining the public security of each village, gradually withdrew from each village.

Including Luo Daniu, Li Dingliang, Liu Youzhu, Luo Ba, Lao Huang and others, they gradually withdrew from civil affairs management and implemented military and political separation. The army was only responsible for war, and the civil affairs were handed over to Wang Jizong, Wencheng and others to take care of.

When there were few people in the past, when Qin Chuan went on the big pot meal route, all the people under his command were paid by Gongzhong. For example, Wang Jizong paid five or two months a month, and three meals a day were paid by Gongzhong.

But after the territory is expanded and the number of people under his command is large, this method will not work.

Therefore, Qin Chuan re-established a salary system. Considering that the price of grain is now as high as two taels of silver per stone, it is impossible for him to raise his wages to the standard of grain prices, so he adopted the method of wages plus food subsidies and established a hierarchy system that clearly defined salary.

For example, Wang Jizong and other directors had a salary of up to six taels, with two liang of grain subsidies each month, while an ordinary chief in the Household Administration Department had only two liang of salary, and one liang of food subsidy, and grass-roots officials had only one liang of salary and eight dou of food subsidies.

A non-transitory official in the Ming Dynasty had three stones of food a monthly salary, compared with the salary set by Qinchuan was not high.

But an official under his command could buy five dou of grain for one tael of silver every month, and a subsidy could be about three dou of one stone, which could support a family of five. For many down-and-out scholars, it was no longer a low price.

In a few years, after the food price falls, the salary value of the current silver will naturally increase.

The big pot meals of civil affairs officials have been cancelled. All officials solve their own food problems. People with families naturally don’t have to worry about it, but people without families have to hire helpers or go out for food, which has increased the employment rate and the catering industry accordingly. Loufan Town opened several restaurants in just a few days.

The army's big pot meal must naturally be retained, and Qin Chuan once again increased the army's food, ensuring that there was meat and fish every day so that all the big-headed soldiers could eat enough.

The north lacks pig grass, and raising pigs in an era when people cannot eat enough is unrealistic, so the Guandi Army's source of meat depends more on animal husbandry.

After Wang Jizong dealt with the matter of household registration and arable land, he began to be busy developing animal husbandry.

Today, the soil erosion in the Luliang Mountains is not as serious as that in later generations. There are many meadows and pastures and more bushes, which are very suitable for grazing. The Lanhe Plain has only reclaimed low-lying plots near the water source, and more than half of the gentle slope wasteland.

Lan County is also short of cattle, sheep, mules and horses. Qinchuan has collected thousands of livestock from the homes of those wealthy families, with the most sheep, including the native Luliang black goats, as well as several varieties such as foreign tailed cold sheep, Hexi goats, Mongolian coarse wool goats, etc.

The Luliang Mountains are drought in spring, rainwater is concentrated in summer, dry and cold in autumn and winter. In addition, the western mountain range is undulating and ravines and vegetation is sparse and shrubs are growing. The most suitable goats in this area are goats, especially the Luliang black goats that are adapted to the mountains.

Because goats can go up and down, eat everything, are resistant to coarse materials, and can also feed on shrub leaves, which is easy to shepherd, and goats have strong resistance to disease, especially the Luliang black goats, which are not easy to get sick.

But one disadvantage of goats is that they are too big. Among them, the adult ram ewes of the Luliang black goats are only about fifty kilograms, and the Hexi goats are a little bigger, but only about sixty or seventy kilograms.

In contrast, adult Mongolian sheep are generally over 100 kilograms, while tailed cold sheep weighs 200 kilograms.

The cold tailed sheep grows very quickly and reproduces quickly. It can give birth to two to six lambs in two years, three or five in three years.

Mongolian coarse sheep are more drought-resistant and cold-resistant, have strong adaptability, can go up and down, and are also resistant to coarse materials. They have good meat quality, but their disadvantage is that they are slow to reproduce.

Moreover, both types of sheep need larger grasslands or a large amount of forage to be raised in captivity, and they cannot climb mountains like goats, and are not suitable for mountainous areas that are too high and too steep.

Qin Chuan and Wang Jizong solicited the opinions of the shepherds of the original wealthy families and decided to temporarily raise Luliang black goats and Hexi goats. Although these two goats produce low meat, they are better at being easy to shepherd.

The second is the tailed cold sheep. This kind of sheep with two or three hundred kilograms raises three-headed goats on one head. There are many gentle mountain slopes in the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, especially the area from Jingle to Lan County, and the Yunzhong Mountain area to the east of Jingle. There are also many low and gentle grazing slopes in Loufan to Guandi Mountain. These areas can raise tailed cold sheep.

Moreover, after the grain output and grass planting increase, Qinchuan will increase the sheep's pastoral volume.

Mongolian coarse wool sheep are no longer raised. Although this thing has good meat quality, it breeds too slowly and is not as big as the tailed cold sheep. It is better to give it up to avoid occupying the forage of the tailed cold sheep.

Wang Jizong formulated a set of animal husbandry support policies, lending sheep to the people, lending them food, and exempting all interest, encouraging them to breed in large quantities.

However, Qinchuan also restricted the breeding area and number, such as a place can only accommodate a certain number of sheep, especially the number of goats, in order to protect the ecological cycle.

Because even the grass roots are scattered out and eaten, if the number of sheep suddenly increases dramatically, it can chew around the surrounding hills so that no grass can grow.

Qin Chuan also asked Wang Jizong to divide pastoral areas for herders and grazed in the form of rotation pastoral areas. He forced herders to collect grass seeds and plant pastures.

For example, after eating all the grass on this hill this year, the hill will no longer be grazed next year, and grass seeds must be sprinkled to maintain the amount of grass on the pasture.

As soon as the support policy was released, the original shepherds in Jinglelan County were excited, and other people also signed up for adoption, and thousands of sheep were all divided in a short time.

In addition to civil affairs and animal husbandry, Qin Chuan also continued to increase the military horse breeding industry. In addition to the military horse farm in Gentingshan, he also circled a small military horse farm in Luya Mountain, which can accommodate up to two thousand horses.

Horse households in military horse farms also need to maintain the pastures by rotating pastoral areas and planting grass seeds, so as not to lose those horse farms in a few years.

Moreover, Qinchuan planned a large number of hillsides, and on these high terrain and unsuitable for growing grain, a large number of shrubs or grasses such as donkeys, sheep eating, sheep firewood, sand pole, beans, ice grass, sweets and alfalfa.

Among them, alfalfa absorbs a large amount of groundwater and does not have a wide range of planting. Only some suitable places will be selected to plant.

The large-scale planting of sand tawang, donkey-eating herbs, ice grass, sweet potatoes, sheep firewood, sand poles, and other perennial miscellaneous forage grasses that are extremely cold-resistant and drought-resistant.
