Chapter 398 Refining the Department
Time passed quickly, and it was soon mid-November.

Since the Shao family in Chengxian County was confiscated and "annihilated", no one from the local families in Qingzhou, Yizhou, Weizhou, and Mizhou dared to act rashly anymore, and their original dirty behavior towards the Xinghan League's "Common People's Grain Store" has also restrained. Many, Xinghan League's grain stacks have developed rapidly at the county level in the four states and have firmly taken root.

As of mid-November, some large towns in these four prefectures have successively opened "common people's grain stores", and food stamps from the Xinghan League have been quietly circulating in these four prefectures.

Wu Liang recently reported to Liu Xinqi that the Ministry of Grain Reserves is working on establishing county-level grain depots in Qizhou, Zizhou, Yunzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou further west.

When the grain warehouses in these five states are completed, the previously planned "grain and grass first" task will be basically completed, and the other corner states and counties are no longer important and can be developed slowly.

Since the capital of the puppet Qi Dynasty had begun to move to Damingfu at the end of October, some people in the five states, including Qizhou, were panicked, and the officials had no time to consider the Xinghan League's establishment of grain depots in these states and counties.Even if some officials found something was wrong, they would not dare to openly create trouble or set up obstacles for the Xinghan League.

With the right time and people's support, Xinghan League's grain stack plan developed smoothly.

On November [-], various departments successively submitted detailed plans for Jingyan's three-year development plan to Liu Xinqi's desk.

Liu Xinqi began to become extremely busy.

Because no one has experience, including Liu Xinqi himself.Therefore, Liu Xinqi could only review these plans in detail in person. If he found anything inappropriate or unclear, he would call the chief official of the hospital to come over for discussion.

I have been busy until November 25th before it came to an end.

When it came time to print and publish it, everyone discovered that the plan was too detailed and resulted in too much text. If every department’s plan was published in full, the workload would be huge.

In desperation, I could only hurriedly make a simplified version again, deleting the detailed requirements of the original version, leaving only the staged goals and overall goals, which are concise and to the point.

Fortunately, the printing press has been improved a lot by the Ministry of Works, and its efficiency has been greatly improved. Starting from the end of November, on the premise of meeting the requirements of the "Baixin Xunkan", the Propaganda Department began to help each department print their annual development plans.

These plans will be distributed to all government departments in the eight counties of Denglai. Although they cannot be distributed to each person, they must at least be distributed to each office.

"The planned things are completed, now we start, there is still an important job to be completed."

On October 23, Liu Xinqi once again convened a meeting with all the heads of the [-] departments of the three academies.

"It is to formulate an annual centralized fiscal expenditure plan for next year. I call this plan the annual fiscal budget."

Then Liu Xinqi explained the detailed requirements for this budget formulation to everyone.

Liu Xinqi didn't understand any of this. He just made a preliminary request based on his superficial understanding of the management and financial work of the Xinghan League in the past two years. He then crossed the river by feeling the stones, improving as he went, and learning from the experience and lessons of failure. , there will always be a day of success.

"Understood, we just want to complete the goals we set before. How much money do we need to spend next year and make a plan, right?" Luo Cheng concluded.

"That's right, that's what it means. This includes the total salary of all financial personnel of the Xinghan League, the total cost of maintaining the operation of the government, etc. The Military Academy will also list next year's military budget, including the total salary of all officers and men. Salary, manufacturing of weapons and equipment, construction and maintenance of ships, expenses required to maintain these personnel and equipment, etc." Liu Xinqi replied.

Although Liu Xinqi is the dean of the Military Academy, the person who actually performs the main duties of the dean on a daily basis is Liu Lizhen.

"We will fight against Qi and the puppet Qi next year, which will definitely incur huge expenditures. Do we need to budget for these?" Liu Lizhen asked.

"This part of the cost is listed separately, which is called the war budget. Estimate how much food will be spent to win the war, so that the Ministry of Finance can make preparations." Liu Xinqi replied.

"Yes!" After taking the order, everyone discussed in detail for a long time before the meeting ended and went to work separately.

Liu Lizhen stayed.

"The recruits have completed all the training subjects on November 28th. Recently, they are consolidating the training results and learning cultural knowledge (literacy). When will the reorganization begin?" Liu Lizhen asked.

Liu Xinqi did not answer in a hurry, but said with emotion: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon."

"Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming soon." Liu Lizhen followed, not knowing what Liu Xinqi meant.

[The year-end settlement is coming soon]

Liu Xinqi thought in his heart and said:

"Things have been complicated recently. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, people are thinking about their own affairs and it is not appropriate to make too big a move. Let's leave the reorganization until after the New Year."

"Then there is still one month to celebrate the new year. What are you training for this month?"

"Select out a suitable part of the training content after entering the camp, continue to train the recruits, and increase the intensity of learning cultural knowledge. This persists for half a month. In the second half of the month, these recruits will have a holiday to go home to celebrate the New Year. After returning to camp, we will carry out the fourth major reorganization of our Xinghan League." Liu Xinqi arranged.

The training in the boot camp is all about basics.

More in-depth training will be conducted in the army after joining the army.For example: various techniques for quickly killing enemies, coordination of combat details, flags and other subjects, as well as some techniques on how to save one's life on the battlefield.

To give the most direct example: when two armies are facing each other and attacking each other, the soldiers at the front will inevitably be injured. During the war, it is impossible to treat the wounded, and the wounded cannot retreat on their own to affect the morale of the troops.Therefore, it is very important for soldiers to save their lives in a chaotic battlefield and wait for rescue by their own personnel after the war is over when they are unable to move.

After enlisting in the military, the instructor will teach the recruits. In this case, they may form a group with their backs facing their own side, with the shields on their backs, and squat on the ground without moving.Or, without affecting the battle formation, quickly leave the main line of attack from the side of the battle formation; and also find a way to simply bandage yourself to stop the bleeding to avoid excessive bleeding, hypothermia, shock, etc.

These skills will largely determine whether a soldier will be treated alive by his own military medical system after being injured, or whether he will be trampled to death by his own people before the war is over.

……

Beginning on December [-], the three universities in Baishiwan will begin their final examinations for two days.

On December [-], the university will conduct individual assessments for some special students, and those who pass will be allowed to skip a grade or graduate early.

Liu Xinshi took the three-day exam on time.

On December 21, Liu Xinqi came to Zhou Yue’s office.

"How did Liu Xinshi do in the exam?"

Liu Xinqi had previously agreed with Liu Xinshi that if Liu Xinshi could complete the university courses and pass the exam within one year, he would be guaranteed to go wherever he wanted.

Now the time has come for the promise to be fulfilled.
