Seeing that several people were thinking hard, Qin Mu no longer forced them. After all, these people have spent all their energy on the formation of the army for a while, and they have no extra thoughts to consider other issues, but the difficulties in the army have been enough for them to be busy for half a year.√∟ looked at Liang Qiming and asked, "Liang Qiming, then let's talk about how you plan to carry out your work. What is the primary issue at present?"

"Sir, these questions are ultimately two words: one is people and the other is money. The two complement each other, influence each other, and depend on each other. No one is empty talk, no one works in factories, workshops, no one farms, no one farms, no source of military personnel, no labor for infrastructure construction, and no one buys goods in stores."

"But if there are people, according to the current actual situation in Tokugawa County, only a large number of immigrants can be absorbed, and in order to absorb a large number of immigrants, there must be several prerequisites: one is good social security, two is preferential tax policies, three is sufficient employment opportunities, and four is necessary material guarantees. To achieve the above and make the government operate normally, a large amount of funds will be needed. Only after the economy develops can there be enough taxes to maintain the daily expenses of the government and the army." Liang Qiming was prepared early, and when he saw Qin Mu ask, he answered like a lot.

"Continue talking." Qin Mu encouraged.

"Actually, we don't have any foundation at all. After all, the transportation and geographical location of Tokugawa County is here, and no one can replace it. This is also a base for the leather processing industry. Now the local people support us very much, so we can still come up with some solutions." Liang Qiming became more and more confident the more he said.

"Then talk about what measures are we going to take now?"

Qin Mu was also very interested. In addition to Mu Ziqi and Xie Shuyu, the others also raised their ears because these plans were originally conceived by the three of them.

"We are preparing to formulate preferential immigration policies and tax policies, specifically to increase publicity efforts and encourage them to settle down in Tokugawa Prefecture. From now on, all those who work in Tokugawa Prefecture, including existing industrial and commercial operators in Tokugawa Prefecture will be exempted from all taxes for one year and will be charged half the charge in the second year; those who work in the financial and entertainment industries will be exempt from all taxes for one year. The full charge will be collected from the second year; those who work in handicrafts and service industries will be charged to them. The government can provide them with rental low-priced housing services."

"For those who engage in agricultural production to settle down here, each person can obtain at least ten acres of land free of charge, exempting all taxes for three years. The government will provide him with free crop seeds needed for the first year, and can also provide him with loans or loan guarantees for the funds needed to buy farm tools, livestock, and build houses. If a person is more than ten acres, he will also belong to him as long as he cultivates for three consecutive years, but he will not be able to buy, sell or abandon, otherwise the government will take back the land."

"We cannot find workers when we come to Tokugawa Prefecture. The government guarantees that we can arrange work for them and choose to join the army and carry out municipal construction and employment. We will also set up a recruitment hall to welcome talents from the empire and even from all over the mainland to come to Tokugawa Prefecture. We also welcome recommendations. If the recommendation is true and we are hired by the government, we can also give certain rewards to the recommenders according to the situation. The government still has a large number of middle and high-level positions waiting for us."

Liang Qiming finished the plan in one breath. "In addition, the first problem is to solve it, hoping that the army will clear the horse thieves and bandits in Tokugawa County in a short period of time. Otherwise, these plans will not be implemented."

Qin Mu listened to Liang Qiming's plan enthusiastically, but he soon discovered a problem, but he was unable to interrupt Liang Qiming's speech, so he had to bite the bullet and finish it, and then he asked: "Liang Qiming, the plan formulated by the three of you looks very beautiful. The prospects are also very good, but these plans are tax reductions, loans and loan guarantees, and what else can be provided for free? This requires a lot of money. Now we have not even settled for the next month's salary, where are you going to get this money from?"

"Yes, we are required to carry out the task of suppressing bandits immediately, but now there are insufficient troops, insufficient training, and lack of equipment, especially armor, and the soldiers' salaries are not yet settled. These are all needed immediately." The military began to complain.

"The money problem is your affairs, Lord County Master. I believe that Lord must have a solution to solve this problem that is not a problem." Liang Qiming answered seriously without blinking.

"What? You're so relaxed. Such a huge plan must be needed even if the initial start-up capital is needed..." Qin Mu screamed strangely, and was unable to obtain the exact amount of funds to start it up for a while, and he couldn't help but stop.

"It will cost at least 50 million taels of silver." Xie Shuyu held back his laughter and said it for Qin Mu.

"Yes, at least 50 million taels of silver." Qin Mu also repeated it quickly. After saying that, he was shocked by the amount, "50 million taels of silver? Where do you ask me to find such a large sum of money? This is simply a castle in the air!"

Now Qin Mu's own private pocket is only less than two million taels of silver, which is far from 50 million taels of silver. This is simply a matter of Qin Mu's life.

Several other military personnel were also shocked by this number. This was simply a joke. Where did they raise such a large amount of funds?

"Sir, you don't have to worry. Although the amount is not small, in terms of need, this money is necessary. Otherwise, our development plan will be a paper talk." Liang Qiming sincerely advised Qin Mu.

"You don't need to explain this, but after all, the amount of this money is too large. Wherever you ask me to do it for a while? Even if you go to grab it, you have to have a goal." Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, there are no solutions at all. There are a few ways to try. Of course, you have to do it yourself." Liang Qiming's confident suggestions.

"Well, I didn't expect any solution. You actually said there were a few options to choose from, so you can tell me." Qin Mu looked at Liang Qiming suspiciously.

"One is to borrow from the merchants in Tokugawa County, and use the government as a guarantee. I think I can borrow a part of it." Liang Qimingman said the first method with confidence.

"If you have a shameless attitude and borrow it, you may be able to borrow some of it, but after all, the situation is not completely stable now, and these businessmen have been in a bad business for so many years, so it may be very difficult if the number is large." Qin Mu also calmed down and analyzed.

"There is another way to ask the court for it." Liang Qiming squeezed out these words from his teeth.

Qin Mu's eyes lit up, tall, really tall. "Why should the court give us so much money?"

Li Dadan, who had never spoken, couldn't help it anymore. Seeing Qin Mu and others looking thoughtful, he really couldn't understand why the Empire gave so much money to Tokugawa.

"Because it must be given, otherwise once the situation here deteriorates, it will lose more than just tens of millions of silver."

Qin Mu said slowly. "However, there is still a lot of work to be done in between, and it cannot be done in one or two days.

"Sir, you can borrow some emergency response from the merchants here, but the amount should not be too large. Just be able to cope with it, so as not to lose confidence in these merchants. If it really doesn't work, you can also sell some of the spoils of this war. In addition, you may also ask the merchants to come forward to do a good job in these merchants and ask them to take the lead in moving their own industries, family members and relatives back to Tokugawa County. This can play a good role in promoting it." Xie Shuyu also put forward his own views.

"No, absolutely not. We have all arranged these war horses."

Shangguan Yonglun immediately opposed fiercely, if there were no war horses, would this cavalry still be a cavalry? Is his cavalry division still a cavalry division? On this point, Shangguan Yonglun absolutely disagrees.

"Sir, our cavalry cannot be without war horses, otherwise this cavalry division might as well be disbanded." Ding Daniu also looked at Liang Qiming angrily. What bad idea did Lord Liang come up with?

"I don't consider selling war horses for the time being. First, these war horses are quite good and not easy to train. Second, if sold, they can only be sold to the army. No matter which force is around, it will only increase the threat to us." Qin Mu did not agree, after all, in the northwest, the importance of cavalry is unparalleled.

"Sir, the bandit suppression cannot be delayed for too long. I have arranged for the intelligence agency to go down to collect intelligence. We must hurry up and prepare for the army here." Mu Ziqi also expressed his opinion.

Qin Mu looked around at everyone present, "Today's meeting was held very well, especially Liang Qiming, Mu Ziqi, Xie Shuyu, you three have completed their work well during this period. The problems and solutions raised are very realistic. Now we are waiting to be implemented. I will be responsible for borrowing money from merchants and doing their work. The specific handling will be done by Liang Qiming. The reorganization training of the troops must strive to achieve results within one month. What we are going to deal with are horse thieves and bandit organizations. I believe that with our current strength, there will be no big problems. Maybe these horse thieves and bandits can supplement our personnel and funds."

Speaking of this, the eyes of several military generals present couldn't help but lit up, "In addition, the collection of information on these horse thieves and bandit organizations must be stepped up and meticulous. After these things are ready, I have to go to the capital. Everyone should hurry up and carry out these tasks."
