Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 81 Say hello to Mr. Fu
On the first day of May, it was sunny.

A week has passed since the court meeting, and the imperial envoy who delivered the decree was sent away. Qian Yuan was not in a hurry to go to Qingqiu Mansion to become a vassal, and still lived in the old mansion of the vassal king in Yize County.

He was suddenly sealed, and he still needs to take care of it.

Shi Liu Daoning, the head of the palace, has been ordered to go to Qingqiu Mansion to oversee the construction of the new vassal palace. Before leaving, Qian Yuan specially instructed: "The palace does not need to be extravagant, just choose an old mansion and do a little renovation."

Qian Yuan knew that at this moment, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him from all over the government and the public, and observing him under the microscope, naturally he wanted to keep a low profile, and keep a low profile.

Of course, not going to Qingqiu Mansion doesn't mean not doing anything.

From the moment he accepted the edict, Qian Yuan, the newly promoted King of Qingqiu County, had to shoulder the responsibility. Qingqiu Mansion, seven counties and more than one million people in the territory all needed him to worry about.

What happened was Qian Yuan's fault.

If the Yize County that was taken over before was a mess, then the Qingqiu Mansion that was taken over now is a big hole. The disaster of the war has not yet dissipated, the people's livelihood is dying, and people are in panic.

With the outbreak of the refugee wave, the three counties of Nanguan, Baibi, and Yingshui were empty.

In terms of the army, although the fourth and fifth brigades under the Second Division of the Southern Army have been assigned to Qianyuan, there are only a few remnants and defeated generals left.

The Qingqiu Kingdom is sharpening their swords, and reorganizing the army has become a top priority.

Not to mention the predictable suppression and stumbling by those big figures in Shendu with Qian Yuan's emergence, if they are linked with the local family of Qingqiu Mansion, the current Qingqiu Mansion is really undercurrent.

Qian Yuan simply sat on the powder keg.

Therefore, after receiving a letter from his uncle in advance, Qian Yuan had no time to be excited and celebrated, so he plunged into military and political affairs, frequently meeting with Guo Jia, Zhong Shu and other close officials to discuss how to take over the Qingqiu Mansion.

It's very lively outside.

In the past few days, families of all sizes in Yize County have been sending gifts to the feudal prince's mansion frequently. If they could get Qianyuan to take the time to meet them, they would be as excited as anything.

As the news spread, even a family from Lin County came to give gifts.

Every day in front of the old mansion of the vassal king, there was a lot of traffic. Gift givers lined up in a long line early in the morning, and there was an endless stream. The streets were blocked by various horse-drawn carriages, and the scene was very spectacular.

Qianyuan was impatient to deal with these trivial matters, and handed them over to Aning to be responsible.

Compared with the downfall of Fan Yize County, Qian Yuan's only advantage in taking charge of Qingqiu Mansion this time is probably his personal prestige.

This time Qian Yuan carried the prestige of a great victory, and he was promoted instead of relegated, and his status was very different. If any family dared to confront him openly, it would be hard to please him.

Qian Yuan did not hesitate to use thunderous means.

In the meeting hall, there were only Guo Jia and Uncle Zhong. After sorting out these days, the general framework of military and political affairs was finally finalized, and the next step was to implement it.

Still confused.

In terms of the army, the plan to form the city guard brigade was completely put on hold, and the Qingqiu garrison division was to be formed based on the personal guards, the city defense battalion, the new barracks, the remnants of the fourth and fifth brigades, and the troops stationed in various places.

This division will be the only regular army in Qingqiu Prefecture.

Qian Yuan personally served as the head of the division, and temporarily set up a personal guard battalion, three full-staffed brigades, and a city defense battalion, with a total strength of 8500 people.

With the addition of auxiliary arms, the establishment is around 1 people.

This is the staffing established by Qian Yuan and Guo Jia after repeated discussions and deliberations, combined with the actual situation of Qingqiu Mansion and the expected military strength of Qingqiu Kingdom, which is already the minimum standard.

No matter how little it is, it will not be enough to defend Qingqiu Mansion and deal with Qingqiu Kingdom's second attack.

The framework has been finalized, how to reorganize the ministries, how many new recruits to recruit, how to establish the defense areas of each ministries, where to gather the existing ministries, how to guarantee logistics, etc., etc., etc.

Things are both professional and cumbersome.

Qian Yuan was very self-aware, so he simply appointed Guo Jia as the military division of the Qingqiu Security Division, fully responsible for the formation of the security division, and he was only responsible for the appointment and dismissal of relevant personnel.

In principle, Xu Chu will serve as the personal guard and continue to serve as Qianyuan's personal guard; Zhou Qing and Yue Yun, two young brave generals, will serve as the commanders of the first and second brigades respectively.

Dai Chonghua and Kuang Dao Zhang Fang will both serve as battalion officers.

The rest of the positions, including the third brigade brigade commander, the city defense battalion officer, etc., are still undetermined for the time being. They will be decided after the garrison division has made real progress, or when Qianyuan arrives at Qingqiu Mansion.

If it doesn't work, Qianyuan can only use the secret weapon [Summoning].

In addition to personnel, money is the most important thing.

A large number of weapons and equipment were seized in the First World War in the spring. With the existing equipment, as long as a little modification is made, if the loss in the later period is not counted, the troops can barely be armed.

But equipment is only one aspect. Materials such as medicinal materials and spiritual rice need to be purchased in large quantities, as well as soldiers' salaries. Every item of expenditure is astronomical.

Oh, and Qian Yuan was also responsible for the pensions for the fallen soldiers of the fourth and fifth brigades. Qian Yuan almost yelled, these guys didn't fight well, but they asked him to wipe their asses.

Raising nearly [-] regular troops with one mansion is itself a snake swallow.

In order to increase the establishment of a division, the Southern Army has been struggling with the court for several years without success, except that some people are obstructing it, and the military expenditure is indeed huge.

An army composed of pure warriors is not the same concept as the ancient cold weapon troops on Earth.

Generally speaking, a government's finances can only support a regular army of one brigade, and by analogy, a county can support a full-scale division.

Qingqiu Mansion wants to treat one as three and four, which is a bit unrealistic.

What's more, among the empire's mansions, because Qingqiu Mansion is located on the southwest border, it is far less developed than the southeast coast, so it is even more stretched.

Relying on the treasury of the vassal prince's mansion also couldn't support it, so at present, it can only use the Qingqiu mansion's idea to see if it can squeeze some money from the mansion.

Qian Yuan and Guo Jia both looked at Uncle Zhong, who smiled wryly.

"Uncle Zhong, you can leave tomorrow, please!" Qian Yuan cupped his hands.

Before the feudal king's mansion was built, it was not suitable for Qianyuan to move Qingqiu mansion, but he couldn't let it go, so he had to send Uncle Zhong to play an outpost to find out the bottom line and explore the way.

Now Qian Yuan's eyes are darkened.

Qianyuan got the news that after the edict was issued, Feng Quji had been dismissed from the post of magistrate. After that, Feng Quji did not follow the usual practice of being transferred to the county office or other places to work, but directly stayed at home.

This made Qian Yuan a little uncomfortable.

The uncle's letter vaguely pointed out that Feng Quji was a member of Fifth Brother Qianke. Although he was forced to retire now, the Feng family was still there, and the circle run by Feng Quji was still there.

Judging by this posture, he was ready to die to the end.

The current government office is afraid that it is a mess, Uncle Zhong plunged into it, and he doesn't know if it is a blessing or a curse.

"it is good!"

Uncle Zhong didn't hesitate, and responded directly, he was bound to do so.

To be honest, when he learned that His Highness was promoted to a title, Uncle Zhong admired him even more. He couldn't help but think of the conversation between the two when they were still in Yize Pass.

Facts have proved that His Highness is more intelligent.

Although there are many difficulties at the moment, they are all temporary and happy troubles, which are better than living in Yize County for the rest of the life.

Uncle Zhong believed that with the big platform of Qingqiu Mansion, His Highness would surely create another miracle and surprise the princes and ministers in the capital of God again and again.

He was sure of it.
