Chapter 17 The Prefect's House Meeting
Early the next morning, neither Jia Xu nor Zhu Yan disturbed each other, and they rode the two remaining horses in the mansion towards Luoyang.
In the morning, Bai Yang called Zhou Cang and asked Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanqing to go to the horse market to buy more than ten horses, and arranged for Qian Wanli and Liu Yijian to ride horses to Heiyun Village to report the news, preparing for the brothers going down the mountain and other matters.
Bai Yang calculated that more than 500 brothers lived in more than 40 rooms, and it was not convenient for some female relatives to stay. So Bai Yang arranged for people to buy all the houses on both sides and behind the prefect's mansion, and spent more than 200,000 taels at once. Seeing that the silver was bottoming out, Li Yu, who had just managed the financial power, felt distressed.
When others wanted to supplement the household expenses, Li Yu held the silver notes tightly, so he refused to give them. It was not until Bai Yang said that a large amount of silver would be collected in a few days before Li Yu's mood improved.
Later, Bai Yang directed people to connect the houses he bought with the prefect's mansion, push a yard with fewer houses directly to level it, and go to the blacksmith shop to make some strange things for the yard to be installed.
Everyone felt very distressed when they saw it. What's the use of pushing such things in a good house?
Of course, if there are people from later generations, they will definitely see it. Yes, there are some training equipment, such as singles, parallel bars, etc. Later, Bai Yang had a whim and made a training obstacle track around the wall, including all kinds of obstacles. He worked a lot to do these things. He discussed with the blacksmiths and carpenters who came down from the mountain again and again. It took several trips a day to go to the blacksmith shop in the city.
Several blacksmith masters were also depressed when they looked at these strange things. Once, they couldn't stand it anymore, so they actually taught Bai Yang a lesson: Such a young man is ignorant every day and spends money to do anything. He feels that creating these things is an insult to his profession. If it weren't for the sake of money, he would have quit.
Until ten days later, all these things were completed according to Bai Yang's expectations. Bai Yang tried to come out a few times. It was okay, but it basically met the standards of later generations. As for the quality, it depends on God, after all, the conditions are limited.
This is what Bai Yang can do best without affecting his use based on mechanics. It is a bit ugly, but there is no way. When you have time to teach the blacksmith masters in Heiyun Village to see if they can make steel. Now there is really no time.
Some people have come down from the mountain these days. I guess they will be able to move into the prefect's mansion in four or five days. This period of time is very messy, so I bought a lot of daily necessities, bedding, food, drinks, etc.
Fortunately, Jia Xu and Zhu Yan came back from Luoyang two days ago and brought good news. The two coins were used as 4.2 million taels. They were afraid that the whole family would not be able to eat them, so they sold the two in two places.
Bai Yang was happy for a long time after knowing this result, and muttered in his heart: It is still the people under the feet of the emperor.
Of course, with more than four million yuan in the account, Bai Yang also stood up straight. Each brother who went down the mountain gave one hundred taels, and as for the ten leaders, Zhu Yan, Zhu Lao, Jia Xu and others, they gave one thousand taels each.
Zhu Lao said no, but Bai Yang insisted on giving it to him. He told Zhu Lao that Zhu Yan should marry a wife, and when he found his wife, he kept the bride price for the woman. Zhu Lao accepted it after hearing this.
Five days later, all the people on the mountain had settled in the prefect's mansion. The main personnel of Baiyang organization are preparing to hold the first meeting of the prefect's mansion.
After dinner in the morning, people walked into the main hall one after another, Baiyang was in a high position, and there were Jia Xu, Zhu Yan and Heiyun Village people: the eldest son Zhou Cang, the second son Pei Yuanshao, the third son Zhang Wen, the fourth son Zhang Wu, the fifth son Qian Wanli, the sixth son Sun Chen, the seventh son Li Yu, the eighth son Liu Yijian, the nineth son Futong, and the tenth son Hu Zhi.
These twelve people can be said to be the core figures under Bai Yang's account. Bai Yang, Jia Xu, Zhou Cang and others have also known each other. They are all capable people. Bai Yang looked at everyone and smiled unconsciously. This is his team. In the future, he will rely on them to expand his territory.
"No need to be restrained. Today I mainly want to talk to you and talk about some ideas for future development. Now it is not as many as before. The prefect's office is more staffed, so it's not the same thing as before. So I invite you to come and listen to your opinions."
Seeing that no one answered, and most of them were from Heiyun Village, Zhou Cang expressed his opinion no matter how he expressed his opinion, and said, "Lord, Cang said a few words. Now there are many people in the prefect's office. We have a rule and a charter."
"But I would like to express my opinion here. Since the people of Heiyun Village went down the mountain to join the lord, they could not have a second heart. Everyone must throw away the rules on the mountain, and everything is mainly based on the lord. From today on, there is no such thing as Heiyun Village. We are all from the prefect's palace, and no one is allowed to form cliques, and there is no more sayings about the second head of the great master. Whatever the lord says in the future will be what he says."
Seeing Zhou Cang finish his words, the others nodded and said yes.
Bai Yang was very happy to hear Zhou Cang say this. If they were the second leader in private, what would it be like?
"Okay, Zhou Cang gave everyone a good start. What else do others say?"
Looking at Bai Yang who had nothing to say, "Okay, since everyone has nothing to say, let's set a good rule. It is said that without rules, there is no order. The country has national laws, and our prefect also has rules and laws of the prefect."
"I'll talk first. Everyone thinks there are better opinions. I can say it after I finish it. There are currently 665 people in our prefect's office. Not counting the few of us, there are 653 people now. These people are 420 young and strong, and there are 133 elderly and children. Among the elderly, women and children, there are 24 craftsmen and 35 children."
"First of all these young and strong men are undergoing military training, and everyone here, including me, must conduct training. I am directly responsible for this matter. I will talk about the specific situation later. In order to clarify the division of labor, improve efficiency, and subdivide everyone's functions."
"Next I announce: Establishing the Property Department of the Prefectural Office, and appointed Zhu Lao as the Property Minister. Everyone may not understand this very well, just like a housekeeper. In the future, the old men and women will be responsible for the elderly. He is not here now. After the meeting, I will talk to him and separate these people, including kitchens, procurement, garden planting, cleaning, boiling water, and serving tea. There are many places to employ people. At that time, I will give them some monthly money every month to supplement the household income."
"The Finance Department of the Prefectural Office was established, and Li Yu served as the Finance Minister. After I get my approval and sign it, I will withdraw the silver from Li Yu. Of course, there will be silver from the inputs in the future and Li Yu will manage them uniformly. You will make a charter for these matters later. "
"The Prefect's Military and Equipment Department was established, and Sun Chen was appointed as the Minister of Military and Equipment, mainly 24 craftsmen. He mainly manages weapons, weapons, and other equipment in the government, and repairs and maintenance of weapons and training equipment. He is also responsible for developing some things. I will tell Minister Sun separately after the specific situation."
"The Prefect's Office's Personal Guard Department was established, and Zhu Yan served as the Personal Guard Minister, with 60 personnel. He is mainly responsible for the safety of the Prefect's Office's residence. The specific personnel are determined based on the training results."
"In the future, the staff of the prefect's office will not wait to bully men and dominate women, and bully the weak. They must trade fairly and reasonably outside, and protect the face of the prefect's office at any time. Anyone who dares to destroy the reputation of the prefect's office will never be spared. You can say what you think." Bai Yang looked at everyone and said, in fact, he had already thought about these things, especially the words he emphasized in the end. If he had no good reputation, who would come to join him.
Everyone looked at each other and felt that the distribution was very reasonable. Moreover, everyone was basically real people, and they didn't have so many words in their hearts. They all said, "The lord is right. If the division of labor is clear, I know what I should do. It's great."
