Chapter 476 Zhaoqing County Architecture
[PS: Book Friends Group 571542584, there is a map in the group, welcome to join the group to complain...]
The military merit system and military rank system formulated by the Military Affairs Office are also applicable to the navy. However, the background colors of military rank medals are different for different types of troops.
The navy's epaulette is based on blue and symbolizes the endless sea.
The cavalry unit uses red as the base, symbolizing the enthusiasm of fire. The infantry unit uses earthy yellow silk, symbolizing indestructible and thick as earth.
The three major arms have their own meanings.
In addition to subdividing military ranks and military pay, the Military Affairs Office also has detailed regulations on the level of military merit. The entire military merit system is divided into third-level and ninth-level, with the highest first-level merit and the lowest ninth-level merit.
First to third grades are the upper level; fourth to sixth grades are the middle level; seventh to ninth grades are the lower level.
Different levels, rewards are different.
For the upper level of military merit, the title is awarded; for the intermediate level of military merit, the promotion is promoted; for the lower level of military merit, the reward of wealth.
The evaluation criteria for military merit level are mainly based on the number of enemies killed on the battlefield, and are supplemented by other factors such as command, logistics, strategy, cover, etc. to conduct a comprehensive assessment.
At the same time, the evaluation criteria for soldiers and generals of different levels are also different. For example, the responsibility of a military general is to command the battle, and it cannot be judged simply and roughly by the number of killing enemies.
Another example is the role of a strategist, which is to make plans and win a thousand miles away.
All these things are different.
The assessment and statistics of military merits are completed by the supervisors and commanding generals dispatched by the Military Affairs Office, and each performs its duties. The minimum standard for participating commanding generals is the commander of the army.
Both sides supervise each other to prevent the occurrence of evil cases such as false reporting of military merits or embezzlement of military merits.
Of course, the entire military merit assessment system, including its operating mechanism, has not been tested by practice, and there must be problems of one kind or another.
This tests Du Ruhui's ability very much.
Many times, the system formulated is very ideal, but when implemented below, it is a departure. The final result is not only useless, but also harmful.
All the changes in history and the failure cases are like this. Whether it is Wang Mang's transformation of the ideal society or the famous Wang Anshi's reform, there are problems at the implementation level.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is the fact that when changing law is formulated, the many obstacles and difficulties in the implementation level are not combined with reality, and the predictions are insufficient, which ultimately lead to failure.
In addition, we must understand the essence of the four words "step by step".
This is in the game, if it is placed in the real ancient society, this change will not be implemented at all. As an emperor, I can't even dare to think about it.
Once proposed, countless vested interests or traditional guardians will come out to disturb them.
It’s different in the game. There are neither aristocrats nor Confucian defenders coming forward to hinder them, and the people’s ideas are relatively open-minded.
Based on this, Ouyang Shuo was full of confidence.
During this period, in addition to formulating two major systems, the Military Affairs Office also made some progress in the other thing that Ouyang Shuo assigned to leave Shanhaicheng, namely improving the logistics support system.
At the Military and Political Conference, Du Ruhui gave a brief report.
This time, the War Readiness Administration targeted the soldiers' ordinary outfits in addition to armor. Taking the sword and shield soldiers as an example, in addition to the armor and helmets worn outside, they also had to wear cotton coats inside and shoes under their feet.
Therefore, the War Readiness Agency built two super-large wardrobe factories in Lianzhou County and Leizhou County at one go. The wardrobe factories mainly produce military clothing, cotton shoes, quilts, cotton socks, and even towels.
These things are inconspicuous, but they are actually extremely important to soldiers.
In ancient times, it was already good to be able to distribute armor and weapons. The regular clothes and underwear worn by soldiers were brought by their own homes. In winter, they had to send clothes at home.
This time, the War Readiness Administration was extremely considerate and solved all these materials in one breath.
There is no doubt that a scientific and reasonable logistics support system is also one of the important signs of the professionalization of the military.
The combat readiness deployment is on the right path.
...
After dealing with the military affairs, the next step is to discuss the structural issues of Zhaoqing County.
Ouyang Shuo, the capital of Zhaoqing County, was still chosen in Tianshuang County, which was renamed Tianshuang City. Although Tianshuang City has experienced wars, its infrastructure construction is still the best in the whole county.
Like Leizhou County, Zhaoqing County also has five prefectures.
The current Wulong County will be occupied after the meeting is over, destroying its teleportation function, and is officially renamed Wulong City, as the capital of Wulong Prefecture in the northern part of Zhaoqing County.
Although Ouyang Shuo liked Wulong County's teleportation array very much, he couldn't help but give up. He didn't dare to put the control of a teleportation array in the hands of someone who was not trusted by him.
Mr. Latiao has returned to Wulong County since evacuated Yun'an County. Ouyang Shuo really cannot give him the same trust as Mulanyue.
After all, I am not familiar with each other, and the two sides are just an exchange of interests.
After the meeting, Mr. Latiao will take office in a county town in Leizhou County and completely leave Zhaoqing County.
After all, Ouyang Shuo is still very wary of players.
Yun'an County, the former base camp of the Allied Army, will be renamed Yun'an City, as the capital of Yun'an Prefecture in the central part of Zhaoqing County. Yaogu County and Genglou County are both included in the jurisdiction of Yun'an Prefecture.
Originally, Cangcheng County was more suitable to serve as a prefecture-level capital than Yun'an County. Helplessly, Cangcheng County was completely burned into ruins by a big fire from Bai Qi, and the lives were devastated.
Ouyang Shuo is no longer planning to rebuild Yun'an County, so as not to cause resistance from the local people.
That's why Ouyang Shuo must carefully consider the candidates for the prefect of Yun'an Prefecture, and must choose a person with both moral integrity and ability, and have certain skills to manage it, and slowly calm down the local public grievances.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo encircled Cui Shousi, the governor of Tianfeng Prefecture, Dingzhou County.
Cui Shousi has made great achievements in Tianfeng Mansion, and the various indicators of Tianfeng Mansion are far ahead in the whole county. According to the information feedback sent by the Supervision Department, the local people also have excellent reputations for Cui Shousi, the prefect.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo believed that Cui Shousi could manage Yun'an Mansion well.
In addition to Tianshuang Prefecture, Wulong Prefecture and Yun'an Prefecture, the rest are Shuitai Prefecture and Muge Prefecture. Shuitai Prefecture is located in the south of Zhaoqing County, while Muge Prefecture is close to Jiaozhou County to the east.
Ouyang Shuo, the county magistrate of Zhaoqing County, chose Du Sijing.
After a period of time of getting along, Ouyang Shuo had a preliminary judgment on Du Sijing. This person has rich experience in government affairs, knows how to seek profit and avoid harm, and is also very smooth in his behavior. He is still qualified when he is in charge of the county magistrate.
[Name]: Du Sijing (king level)
【Dynasty】: Yuan Dynasty
【Identity】: The governor of Zhaoqing County, the Southern Protectorate Prefecture, Zhaoqing County, was the governor of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate.
【Occupation】: Civilian official
【Loyalty】: 75 points
[Commander]: 50 [Military power]: 35 [Intellect]: 65 [Politics]: 75
[Special Features]: Wending (improve the administrative efficiency of the territory by 20%, enhance the prestige of the territory by 10%, and enhance the integrity level of the territory by 15%)
[Evaluation]: Du Sijing first served Kublai Khan in the vassal state, followed Xu Heng's education, and served all the way to the Zuo Cheng of the Secretariat. During his stay at home, he had a lot of research on medicine and wrote "Ji Sheng's Past Prescription".
The remaining candidates for prefects will be identified by the Administrative Office and submitted to Ouyang Shuo for approval.
Just so happens that the Administrative Office has truly carried out official assessments across the territory, Zhaoqing County will not be as hasty as Leizhou County. All officials must pass the assessment before they can take office.
Needless to say, a large number of local officials in Zhaoqing County will be required to be left with a bedding.
In this regard, Ouyang Shuo wanted to use thunderbolt methods. Now Zhaoqing County has more than 200,000 troops, but no one can make any waves.
After deciding the Zhaoqing County structure, Ouyang Shuo handed over the remaining matters to the four major offices, and Du Sijing, who had just taken office, was resolved together.
After experiencing the transformation of Leizhou County, he is already familiar with the four major offices.
Taking advantage of his free time, Yingyou reported to Ouyang Shuo about the income and expenditure of the territory in August.
Shanhai City paid 95,000 gold coins in fiscal revenue, Lianzhou County paid 55,000 gold coins in fiscal revenue, Leizhou County paid 22,000 gold coins in fiscal revenue, Qiongzhou County paid 84,000 gold coins in fiscal revenue. In addition, the direct income of the Industry Department was 80,000 gold coins, the total fiscal revenue in August was 336,000 gold coins.
Compared with July, fiscal revenue increased by more than 100,000 gold coins, with an astonishing growth rate of 40%.
There are three main positive news.
First, Leizhou County achieved fiscal revenue for the first time, although it was not as good as the other two counties, it was already considerable.
The development of Leizhou County is enough to prove that external expansion is the king. Even if the war is huge, a large amount of funds will be invested in infrastructure construction in the early stage, but it will generate a steady stream of returns in the later stage.
This deal is not a loss!
Second, Qiongzhou County's fiscal revenue directly doubled.
With the arrival of the Age of Discovery, the economy of Yashan City directly showed explosive growth, which led to the fiscal revenue of the entire Qiongzhou County, reaching a big step.
With the current trend, it is not impossible for Qiongzhou County to surpass Lianzhou County.
After all, since Shanhaicheng was separated from Lianzhou County, its competitive advantage has been weakened by more than 30%.
Third, shipbuilding revenue soared.
Thanks to the arrival of the Age of Discovery, although the Industry Department has delegated a number of high-quality industries such as Sanhua Winery and Langshan Mine in accordance with Ouyang Shuo's requirements, its overall income has increased instead of reducing.
This also led to a small increase in Shanhaicheng's fiscal revenue.
According to Yingyou, the dividends brought by the Age of Discovery will last for a long time.
It can be foreseen that the territory's finances will be relatively abundant in the next six months. This is also the root cause of Ouyang Shuo's military expansion and the Finance Department's failure to raise objections to the Finance Department.
Fiscal revenue increased in August, but corresponding fiscal transfer payments decreased. Therefore, throughout August, the territory achieved a record-breaking net fiscal revenue of 185,000 gold coins.
Chapter completed!
