Chapter 35 Privatization (Part 1)
After checking the village attributes, Ouyang Shuo ordered Gu Xiuwen to convene the main officials of the territory to the meeting hall for the meeting. This time, he was preparing to convene a territorial enlargement meeting. In addition to the heads of each department and his deputy, the participants also included five fire chiefs of the cavalry team and all the senior skilled talents in the territory.
After Gu Xiuwen left, Ouyang Shuo came to the administrative office. Many of his ideas needed to be realized through the Administration Office. Therefore, before starting the discussion, he planned to communicate briefly with Fan Zhongyan.
The two had sincere and effective communication on important matters such as military reform and privatization. Ouyang Shuo had to admire Mr. Xiwen's experienced in handling government affairs. Many of the details of these decisions were revised and improved under his guidance.
Half an hour later, in the new meeting hall, Ouyang Shuo sat in the middle and began to preside over the first meeting after the territory was upgraded to a third-level village.
"After the territory is upgraded, more challenges are waiting for us. To ensure the safety and orderly development of the territory, the first task is to expand the army. In yesterday's territory defense battle, the cavalry team played a mainstay. Therefore, I decided to expand the cavalry team to a full squadron of 100 people. The squadron leader and cavalry team were the first team. The third fire chief Lin Yi, in yesterday's territory defense battle, led troops with outstanding performance, and was promoted to the second team of cavalry team."
Lin Yi immediately stood up and bowed, "I thank you for your promotion, and I will definitely live up to my entrusted responsibility!"
Ouyang Shuo nodded, "The first cavalry team is mainly composed of members of the active cavalry team, and the second cavalry team needs to be re-recruited. General Shi and Lin Guzheng are jointly responsible for the recruitment work. My opinion is that recruits are given priority to selecting new recruits from temporary militia reserves that perform well in territorial defense warfare."
"According to the new military organization, the Huohuo Chief will be adjusted. The former fourth Huohuo Chief Zhao Sihu was transferred to the second cavalry team and served as the first Huohuo Chief of the second cavalry team. The former second Huohuo Chief San Gouzi was removed from his position and appointed him. The former fifth Huohuo Chief Li Mingliang was appointed as the second Huohuo Chief of the cavalry team."
Ouyang Shuo said to Shi Wansui: "The seven fire chiefs vacant in the cavalry squadron will be directly appointed by General Shi after inspection and report to me for filing. Team Lin has the right to recommend the candidates for each fire chief in the second cavalry team."
Shi Wansui nodded to show that he understood what he meant.
"In view of the further expansion of the territory, the external environment will become more complicated. In order not to be distorted, I think it is necessary to establish a special intelligence investigation force. Therefore, I decided to set up a Military Intelligence Department, with the former Second Huohuo Changsan Gouzi as the director."
Sangouzi was still nervous just now, wondering if he had any opinions on him if he had removed him from his post. Now when he heard the new appointment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your trust, I will live up to my entrustedness!"
"The Military Intelligence Department is established to have twenty people, composed of the former Second Fire members and newly recruited members. The Military Intelligence Department operates independently and accepts the dual leadership of me and the Cavalry Squadron. The above is the adjustments made to the army. Do you have any questions?"
Shi Wansui stood up and said straightforwardly: "Lord, I have something to say. I naturally agree with the expansion of the army. But the problem is that according to what the lord just said, the number of troops will reach more than 120. There are so many people in the military camp now. In addition, there are only 53 positions left for junior military talismans, which cannot meet the transfer needs of all personnel."
Ouyang Shuo smiled calmly, "What the general is worried about makes sense. In order to solve these two problems, I plan to upgrade the military camp to the intermediate military camp."
Shi Wansui laughed, "That's great, there will be no doubts in the end."
When it comes to military issues, except Shi Longsui, others naturally know how to express any opinions.
"Okay, that's all for the issue of military reform. What will be discussed next is the core of this discussion. While the territory has just been upgraded, I am going to promote privatization in the territory. Regarding this issue, I would like to ask Mr. Xiwen to give you an introduction."
Ouyang Shuo had communicated with Fan Zhongyan before about privatization. This time he deliberately arranged for Fan Zhongyan to introduce the situation, in order to formally push him to the front desk and let the core personnel of the territory slowly accept his leadership.
Fan Zhongyan obviously understood Ouyang Shuo's intentions. After getting up neatly, bowed to Ouyang Shuo, he said slowly: "After entrusted by the Lord, I will introduce to you the main content of this territory privatization. After yesterday's territory defense war, the territory has sufficient materials and sufficient funds, and has already initially met the material conditions for privatization."
"Therefore, in order to improve production efficiency and activate the territory economy, what is more important is to respond to the expectations of the villagers, the adults decided to officially start the process of privatization of the territory. In summary, it is to end the current big pot meal and instead implement the distribution according to work, adhering to the principle of more work and getting more rewards, less work and less work, and no work cannot be obtained."
"Specifically, the territory will no longer be responsible for the villagers' food supply. Correspondingly, the territory will pay reasonable remuneration for the villagers' labor or labor income. At the same time, all general production materials such as shops, resident courtyards, farmlands, fishing boats will be opened to the villagers and allowed to be sold or rented. Of course, strategic resources such as logging farms, quarries, mining farms, and salt farms are still directly controlled by the territory."
"In order to ensure the basic life of villagers and help everyone successfully complete the transformation from big pot meals to self-sufficiency. At the same time, it is also a reward for the villagers' labor during this period, the adults prepared a basic welfare package for each villager. The basic welfare includes 100 units of grain coupons, 20 units of meat coupons, one piece of fur, one set of ordinary linen clothes, and one piece of 20 silver coupons."
"The entire privatization process will be achieved by establishing an official bank. The bank provides low-interest loans and is open to all villagers who meet the conditions. The specific loan details need to be formulated by the bank manager after the bank is officially established."
As soon as Fan Zhongyan finished speaking, it caused a commotion below. Everyone whispered and discussed the big moves of the territory in a lively manner.
Lin Yi, the newly appointed second cavalry team, smiled and said to his elder brother, senior martial arts husband Lin Yue: "Brother, you can buy the martial arts hall this time and run it yourself!"
Lin Yue frowned, "Stop making trouble, I don't have that much money."
"Hehe, brother, you're too worried. The adults are thoroughly thoughtful, and they would never have thought about everyone's situation. Didn't you hear Mr. Xiwen say that the adults want to set up a money shop and provide low-interest loans."
Lin Yue was obviously very moved and said hesitantly: "I don't know what the conditions for obtaining a loan are now, I'm afraid I won't meet the requirements."
"I said, brother, you are really a fan of the authorities. You don't think about it carefully. If you cannot obtain a loan under the conditions of your senior warrior, then most people in the territory will not be able to meet the loan requirements. How could adults make it privatized in one go? "Lin Yi has had several contacts with Ouyang Shuo, and it is obvious that he knows Ouyang Shuo better than Lin Yue.
Lin Yue nodded and said nothing.
After the following discussion subsided, Ouyang Shuo said, "Just just now, Mr. Xiwen has introduced the content of this privatization. To achieve the goal of privatization, we must do at least these six things well."
"First, a money shop must be established. Second, the selling price or rent of assets such as residents' courtyards, shops, etc. Third, a series of various stores such as grain shops, butchers shops, cloth shops, etc. must be built to ensure that villagers can easily purchase daily necessities. Fourth, wage levels and price levels must be formulated to pay remuneration. Fifth, someone must be responsible for the issuance of basic benefits. Sixth, a tax system must be established."
"We will discuss these six things one by one. First, discuss the money house. What do you think about the name of the money house?"
"It's called Shanhai Money House, how about it?" Zhao Dexian said tentatively.
"Too casual, not good!"
"Hehe, I think it's better to call Wantong Money House and have momentum!" This is Zheng Shanpao's opinion.
"It's even worse to steal someone's name!"
"The territory is located in the Lianzhou Basin, it is called Lianzhou Money House. How about it?" Gu Xiuwen said confidently.
“Too narrow, not good!”
Ouyang Shuo shook his head, not very satisfied with these names.
At this time, Cui Yingyou said crisply: "I think it can be called Sihai Money House, which is in line with our Shanhai Village, and it also means to take money from all over the world."
Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up. Sihai Money House is simple and low-key, and has hidden ambitions. He was very satisfied and said with a smile: "I think it's pretty good, what do you think?"
"It's pretty good, it's pretty good!" This time everyone's opinions were quite consistent.
So Ouyang Shuo made a decision directly, "Okay, that's it, it's called Sihai Money House. I'm going to inject 200 gold coins in the first phase of the money house. As for the manager of the money house, Yingyou will be the one who will take charge of it."
The importance of Sihai Money House can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It is not only the core of this privatization, but will also play the role of a territorial vault in the future. Such a critical position cannot be held by those who are not trusted by adults. Therefore, this time everyone was tactfully kept silent. Just looking at Cui Yingyou inadvertently, it contained profound meaning. Only the parties involved could understand the meaning.
Cui Yingyou is naturally a wise man, and she is very grateful for Ouyang Shuo's trust. She is also moved by the position of the director of the Material Reserve Department. However, the position of director of the Material Reserve Department she is now jealous. If she takes over the position of Sihai Bank, it will undoubtedly attract more jealousy.
"Brother, I'm afraid that my energy is limited and I can't be busy." Cui Yingyou politely refused.
Ouyang Shuo was prepared for Yingyu's reaction, "You don't have to worry, I have follow-up arrangements. I announced that Cui Yingyu's position as director of the Material Reserve Department will be removed from the position of director of the Material Reserve Department, and the deputy director Zhao Youfang will temporarily preside over the work of the Material Reserve Department. At the same time, Du Xiaolan will be promoted to the assistant director of the Material Reserve Department and assist Zhao Youfang in handling the affairs of the Material Reserve Department."
Zhao Youfang was still lacking in qualifications and ability, so Ouyang Shuo did not directly promote him to the position of director. As for Du Xiaolan, she was one of Cui Yingyou's two apprentices and had officially started. Ouyang Shuo has always included her as a reserve talent for observation. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally boldly promoted her to an important position to experience.
