On July 20, 13th year of the Tianqi, Qin Mu convened Liang Qiming, Mu Ziqi, Xie Shuyu, Wang Yitian, Lu Changbo, Zhao Yingcai, Zhu Yongqing, Liu Xiaoshan, Shangguan Yonglun and other military personnel to hold a preparatory meeting before the establishment of the government and the army in the conference hall of his county magistrate's office.

"Everyone, the government agencies and the army have been formed now. I believe that everyone's work has achieved great results. The tasks I assigned to you have basically been completed. However, the current problems in the composition of the government and the army are not conducive to the future development of our Tokugawa County. Today's meeting is held to discuss various more important issues that have emerged these days. I hope that you can reflect all the problems in a realistic manner and propose reasonable solutions to lay a solid foundation for future work. Today's meeting minutes are made by Chimeng and Shangguan Zixi."

Qin Mu was straightforward, and he also wanted to hear whether he was busy meeting people from all over the world these days. The progress of these guys' work was laziness.

"I'd better report to the adults first, let's report on the working conditions of the three of us during this period." Liang Qiming took the initiative to speak.

"Okay, I will also report the tasks assigned by me." Qin Mu nodded and agreed.

"According to the instructions of the Lord, Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu, I and I are mainly focused on leading the establishment of the administrative organs of Tokugawa County Government. According to the requirements and plans of the county magistrate, we have already set up eight departments of Tokugawa County, namely the Administration Office, the Interior Department, the Finance Department, the Agricultural Administration and Water Resources Department, the Economic Development Department, the Construction Department, the War Readiness Department, and the Culture, Education and Health Department."

"The Administrative Department is mainly responsible for the personnel management of officials at all levels in the county. The selection, appointment, assessment, inspection, promotion, demotion, dismissal, exchange and other work of officials at all levels are all under the responsibility of the Administrative Department. At the same time, the Administrative Department also guides the work of other departments and formulates practical policies. The superior policy spirit is also supervised by the Administrative Department to urge the implementation of each department."

"The Interior Affairs Office has an Intelligence Bureau, a Police Bureau, a Security Bureau, a Trial Office, and an Supervision Office. The Intelligence Bureau is responsible for the collection, sorting and analysis of all aspects of intelligence, and providing reference for the decision-making of county magistrates; the Police Bureau is responsible for the daily social security work, ordinary criminal, public security cases and mediation of general civil disputes by its subordinate institutions; the Security Bureau is mainly responsible for the reconnaissance of espionage and sabotage activities of hostile forces inside and outside Tokugawa County; the Trial Office is mainly responsible for the criminal activities of police and police after the end of the reconnaissance, the trial of public security cases and the trial of ordinary civil and economic cases; the Supervision Office has a considerable power, and it mainly supervises and investigates whether officials at all levels of the government have committed corruption, bribery, dereliction of duty, favoritism, and abuse of power, and also supervises the discipline and style of officials at all levels."

"The Finance Department is responsible for the finance and taxation work of the county, and it has a tax bureau. The Agricultural Administration and Water Resources Department is mainly responsible for the agricultural development and construction and management of water conservancy facilities in the entire province."

"The Economic Development Department mainly cooperates with the Administration to formulate policies to promote the development of various industries such as industry, commerce, finance, and entertainment. It is also responsible for coming up with plans to ensure the implementation of these policies. Another important task is to attract investment and develop science and technology, and promote the accelerated development of Tokugawa-gun economy."

"The Construction Department is mainly responsible for the construction of infrastructure such as towns, streets, roads, and docks in the county. The War Readiness Department is mainly responsible for establishing a reserve force and conducting appropriate training for this force in case of an emergency, this team can quickly enrich the regular force or complete other tasks."

"The Department of Culture, Education and Health is mainly responsible for the culture, education, and health work of the people in the county, mainly for the literacy of the people, the education of minors, and the construction and management of grassroots hospitals."

Liang Qiming gave a thorough report to Qin Mu in one breath.

"But although these agencies can barely put up the shelves. Many agencies are very short of staff and it is quite difficult to operate. Currently, I am currently responsible for the work of the Administrative Office, the Finance Department, the Culture, Education and Health Department and Tokugawa Prefecture. Mu Ziqi is responsible for the work of the Interior Affairs Office, Xie Shuyu is responsible for the work of the Agricultural Administration and Water Resources Department, the Economic Development Department, the Construction Department, and the War Readiness Department. We would like to ask Li Hua from the Fourth Division to be responsible for the work of the "4th Division." Liang Qiming then added.

"Yes, you can transfer people directly from the Fourth Legion. Cao Chongyue is here. You can ask him for people directly after you get it." Qin Mu said.

Qin Mu was very satisfied after listening to Liang Qiming's report. He just changed his mind slightly based on Qian Xiang~jiang's government administrative organization. In just over a month, the three of them were able to form such a complete new government agency according to their intentions. Although it was still difficult to operate, it was caused by objective difficulties. It was not a problem for three people, and they could not help but appreciate their abilities. Moreover, this spirit of forgetting to eat and sleep is also worthy of commendation. "Very good, thank you three of you. When you have free time, you will definitely give you a few days off."

Ignoring the wry smiles of the three people at all, Qin Mujing said to Zhu Yongqing: "Yongqing. Let's talk about the formation of five garrison divisions."

"Okay, let me talk about the formation of the five garrison divisions. According to the arrangements of the adults, Deng Dashan, Mi Da and several division commanders, together with me, according to the requirements of the adults, disrupted all the garrison soldiers in the five prefectures, and then drew some soldiers from the original First Division to reorganize the five garrison divisions. Now there are both ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers, and they need to be supplemented urgently. The total number of our five garrison divisions is less than 50,000, and even half of the staff are not enough. In addition, many of them are recruits, and their combat power is uneven, so they need to be strengthened. "Zhu Yongqing's speech was brief and clear, and he directly raised the existing problems.

Qin Mu nodded. These questions were long before he expected, and it was not surprising that he looked at Liu Xiaoshan and said, "Xiaoshan, let's talk about the First Legion."

"Okay, our problem is similar to the garrison troops. The combat effectiveness has decreased, and both officers and soldiers are seriously insufficient. We need to supplement personnel and strengthen training. In addition, Shangguan Yonglun and I also discovered a talent. This person was originally a centurion in the Tokugawa Castle garrison army, named Ouyang Xiu. He is from Dandong Prefecture, Tiannan County, the Empire. His family was born in a free-spirited city and had good abilities. Especially he is good at defense and was also trained at the Imperial College. Shangguan Yonglun and I were preparing to arrange him as the deputy division commander of our First Division." Liu Xiaoshan said concisely.

"Very good. I have understood the problems that exist in your two legions, but it is difficult to solve for the moment. I am afraid that we can only do it slowly. In addition, what you are talking about promoting talents in the army of Tokugawa County is as long as there is no problem with loyalty. I have said that only talent is to promote it. Just promote it boldly."

Qin Mu is still full of confidence, "Next, we will discuss what problems exist in Tokugawa County now, distinguish the priorities and what corresponding measures should be taken. Liang Qiming, let's talk about it first."

"After statistical analysis of Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu, there are several main problems in Tokugawa County, and they all need to be solved urgently. The first is population, that is, labor. According to our statistics, Tokugawa County, there are about 800,000 people in the county, which is less than one-quarter compared to the nearly 2.6 million people at its peak. There are serious shortages of labor, resulting in no one farming of land, no one working in industrial and commercial workshops, the inability to replenish military forces, and the inability to increase social purchasing power, etc.

"The second is the economy. Now the industry and commerce of Tokugawa County is extremely depressed, and agriculture is even more abandoned and urgently needs revitalization; the third is the financial aspect. Now the fiscal revenue of Tokugawa County is very small, and military expenditures are all based on the materials brought from the capital. The salary of administrative staff has not yet been settled, let alone other expenses."

"The fourth is the public security aspect. There are now more than a dozen large and small horse thieves and bandits in Tokugawa Prefecture. Social security is unprecedentedly chaotic and needs to be rectified. The fifth is the defense aspect. The two corps commanders just talked about the serious shortage of troops and the decline in combat effectiveness. The current urban defense capabilities are weak, especially the city walls urgently need to be repaired and reinforced, and the surrounding environment is harsh. The above aspects are only something we need to solve, and there are still some problems that can only be discussed after these problems are solved." Liang Qiming talked happily.

Before Liang Qiming finished speaking, Xie Shuyu added: "There are also many other facilities in Tokugawa Prefecture, such as roads, irrigation canals, etc., which have been disrepaired for a long time. If you do not find a way to restore it as soon as possible, it may seriously hinder the development of industry, commerce and agriculture."

Mu Ziqi also added: "The most serious problem now is the lack of talents, especially administrative management professionals who can engage in various tasks. If this is not solved in a short period of time, all work will soon fall into trouble."

Qin Mu nodded, and at the same time he knew very well that these problems were urgently needed to be solved, but at present there are so many problems and the work cannot be fully expanded all at once. He can only choose the problems that must be solved immediately. "Yongqing, Xiaoshan, and you guys, please express your own opinions. Don't sit there and be a Bodhisattva." Qin Mu looked at these people in the military.

In fact, these people have considered the difficulties that exist now, but they are not so comprehensive. When Liang Qiming and the other two listed these problems one by one, many people felt a headache. There are so many questions in front of everyone, which one is more important, which one is urgent, which one is more urgent, and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and which one is less and less. I really need to think about it carefully.
