Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Chapter 140 Our Division is Called Huaxia
“First, our unit will be renamed Huaxia, and our army will be renamed Huaxia soldiers.

Second, China is based on: equal distribution of land and low taxes, the emperor under the law, and pioneering and enterprising spirit.

Third, our Chinese army originated from ordinary people, so we should care about the lives of every ordinary person."

"The above three points are just a brief summary. Now let's start announcing the appointments!"

"Bai Wencheng!"

Bai Wencheng was stunned. He didn't expect Chen Gu to appoint him first. However, he still stood up, bowed to Chen Gu and replied, "I'm here!"

"Appoint Bai Wen as the county magistrate of Jiangjin County, in charge of all government affairs in Jiangjin County. Each market town will have a town mayor, in charge of the development of that market town."

Bai Wencheng couldn't help but feel ecstatic that he was the county magistrate. At the same time, he was a little confused. There were no less than a hundred towns in the entire Jiangjin County, which meant a hundred mayors were needed. This would mean a huge expense, especially for some towns with a population of 1,800. Did they also need a mayor?

But now is not the time to think about these things, so he quickly responded: "I obey your orders!"

"Bian Shichun!"

"I'm here!" Bian Shichun stood up and bowed to Chen Gu. Although he was also happy that Chen Gu appointed him as the second one, he also felt a little sad.

Bian Shichun still remembers the first time he met Chen Gu. At that time, Chen Gu was very reserved. When he saw the sedan chair he was riding, he would respectfully stand by the roadside to make way. Unexpectedly, in just over half a year, their identities had been reversed.

"Appoint Bian Shichun as the county teacher, in charge of the learning, assessment and honors of the county's boys. Every town must have a school and at least one teacher. Every boy in the county, regardless of gender, must be taught to read, write and do math as long as they are willing."

"Subordinates take orders!"

Bian Shichun was also a little surprised. He had never expected that Chen Gu would want to popularize education. It was just simple reading, literacy and arithmetic, which was relatively simple. But at the same time, because there were too many towns and too many boys, the expenses would probably be considerable.

"JAC!"

"I'm here!" The representative of the Jiang family was delighted and quickly stood up. After bowing, he waited quietly for Chen Gu's appointment.

"Appoint Jiang Huai as the chief tax officer, in charge of Jiangjin County's taxation, to investigate the amount of land, the size of houses, the number and scale of workshops, and the population of Jiangjin County."

After a pause, Chen Ju glanced at Jiang Huai and said, "This matter is complicated and involves a lot of things. It is not easy to do. You can take your time. The progress can be slow, but there must not be any mistakes or omissions.

At the same time, each market town will set up a tax officer to update various data in a timely manner! "

"I obey your command!" Jiang Huai was also ecstatic in his heart. This was a very lucrative job.

"Yang Huiyuan!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Appoint Yang Huiyuan as Minister of Foreign Affairs, responsible for all foreign relations.

Since we have equal distribution of land and low taxation, and we are still very weak, this is a tough job for now. For the time being, we should focus on dealing with ordinary people. As for negotiations with the big families and the court, you don't have to bother with them!"

Yang Huiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. Chen Gu wanted to implement equal distribution of land. Diplomatic negotiations would definitely be a thankless task. However, if he were to negotiate with ordinary people, it would be much easier. After all, ordinary people would naturally like equal distribution of land.

"Han Jun."

"My subordinate is here!"

"Appoint Han Jun as the chief craftsman and establish the Craftsmen's Bureau. The first priority now is to build a military equipment workshop. At the same time, check all the workshops in the county and register them one by one. From now on, any workshop in the county with more than ten workers must report to the Craftsmen's Bureau.

Each market town should have a person in charge of the Hundred Craftsmen Department to guide the people in making various tools, and at the same time count the number of craftsmen in the market town and their skill levels so that they can be hired when needed. " "I obey your orders!"

Afterwards, the Xia family managed land transportation and was responsible for road construction, transportation, mailing and other matters.

The Li family is in charge of commerce and is responsible for the market management of the county town and every town.

The Cao family was in charge of water transport, shipbuilding, shipping, etc.

The Dong family is in charge of the mountains, rivers, wild plants and lakes, and is mainly responsible for logging.

The Zhou family was in charge of the Xing Prison and was responsible for judging cases and managing prisoners.

After the appointments of the top ten families in Jiangjin County were announced, the next ones were the five people from Fobao.

Chen the Assassin bowed to the sour scholar and said with a smile, "Please come in, sir!"

"I'm here!" The sour scholar smiled and bowed to Chen the Assassin.

"Please invite you to serve as the chief recorder and set up a record room. Every town should have a recorder. They cannot comment on anything and are only responsible for recording. However, all meetings must have a recorder present to record in order to be recognized, and the same applies to all orders." Chen Gu said.

All the people from the ten major clans couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, knowing that although this recorder could not say anything, he was Chen Ke's eyes and even had a disguised supervisory power, but he did not have the power to enforce the law.

"Everyone, the recorder is only responsible for recording and filing, and will not affect everyone. Of course, the premise is that everyone must walk upright and stand straight, and inform everyone in advance. The recorder must not get into trouble.

If the recorder gets into trouble in that place, I will designate that place as a dangerous area. For the safe area, even if there are some thieves, I will send people to investigate and arrest them, but for the dangerous area, I will send the army into it. "

The threat in Chen's words was very obvious. The investigation and arrest were only targeted at specific people, and the means would be much milder. However, dispatching troops would have a completely different meaning.

Especially now this army has a lot of blood on its hands, having just killed thousands of people.

"I obey your command!" The sour scholar responded with a salute. This job was easy and it seemed that he had no power, but in fact, there was a lot of room for maneuver, and everyone even had to be afraid of him.

"Please welcome, Senior Brother!"

"I'm here!" Chen Tao stepped out and saluted in response.

"You are appointed as the head of agriculture, responsible for the cultivation and research of various crops. Each market town should send an agricultural worker to guide the people in farming.

Every household should plant a certain area of ​​sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro and other high-yield crops to prepare for famine, and at least half of the land distributed to the people should be used to plant food. "

"I obey your command!" Chen Tao replied.

"Please welcome Second Brother!"

"I'm here!" Chen Qi stepped out and saluted in response.

"I appoint you as the chief of police, responsible for recruiting detectives to arrest drugs and thieves. From now on, Jiangjin County will completely ban opium. Not only will it be prohibited to buy and sell it, but it will also be prohibited to grow it. We will try to dissuade you from doing so at the beginning, but those who refuse to change after repeated admonitions will be arrested and punished.

At the same time, each town should have an arrester to form a joint defense team, and provide certain military training to the able-bodied men in the town during the slack season. When necessary, the joint defense team should be summoned to patrol the town to protect the territory and the people! "

"I obey your orders!" Chen Qi was extremely excited at this moment. Each town had a joint defense team of 100 people, which added up to more than 10,000 troops.

Now that war has broken out, isn't it time for joint defense?
