On July 22, the 13th year of the Heavenly Qi, Qin Mu invited famous merchants and gentlemen from all over Tokugawa County at Deshengju, the most famous restaurant in Tokugawa Prefecture. All the merchants were proud of receiving Qin Mu's invitation. Some of the uninvited people even took the initiative to find Liang Qiming and others and requested that they be included in the invitation list. Liang Qiming also met their requirements one by one. For Liang Qiming, the more merchants attend the banquet, the better.

The hall of Deshengju was already very lively, with more than 30 tables in total, and 300 people had already filled the hall. The merchants and gentlemen brought their wives and concubines to show their status. When Qin Mu led his subordinates to the military and political officials of Tokugawa Prefecture into the hall, everyone stood up and warm applause rang out in the entire hall.

This shows Qin Mu's position in the hearts of the merchants in Tokugawa County.

Originally, Qin Mu wanted to bring Liu Yan here, but after all, she was her first wife, but considering that she was still in the mourning period, Qin Mu gave up.

Amid the warm applause, Qin Mu began his opening remarks: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, first of all, I thank you for attending this banquet. I am deeply honored for your visit. Today, all the elites from all over Tokugawa County have made important contributions to the development of Tokugawa, so that we can toast to our Tokugawa for a better tomorrow!" After speaking, Qin Mu took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass, and everyone in the hall also stood up and raised each other.

"Yesterday, our brand new government agency in Tokugawa County has been officially established and has started to work normally. In order to promote the better development of our Tokugawa Prefecture, we have formulated a series of preferential policies to be implemented soon. Now, please ask Director Liang Qiming to announce these preferential policies to everyone." Qin Mu's chat and laughter will launch the upcoming policies.

"According to the actual situation of Tokugawa, in order to promote the revival and development of Tokugawa, after research and soliciting opinions from some people, we will report to the county magistrate for approval. We will implement the following series of policies in full."

When Liang Qiming announced the policy to be implemented one by one, the hall was already full of people. The merchants whispered to each other and discussed the terms of the policy that involved their own interests.

Qin Mu and Liang Qiming had already expected this scene to happen. They did not stop it. They followed the discussions of the merchants and continued for a long time before they calmed down. Finally, Zhao Dongcheng stood up, "Sir, this plan should be said to be quite detailed and practical. Everyone here also believes that if this policy is thoroughly implemented, the revival of Tokugawa County is just around the corner. However, such a huge plan requires considerable funds as a backing. As far as I know, the current financial situation of Tokugawa County is not optimistic, let alone supporting such a huge plan."

Everyone in the hall was also talking about it. Obviously, they were not ignorant of Tokugawa-gun's finances. Where such a huge amount of funds came from was really unbelievable.

Qin Mu signaled everyone to be quiet with a confident smile, and then explained calmly: "I have considered your worries. With the current financial situation of Tokugawa County, it is definitely impossible to implement such a plan, but please rest assured. The funding problem is the responsibility of me, and the implementation of the plan will be absolutely guaranteed, and I will never publish a single piece of the article from you. Everyone has understood the policy announced by Lord Liang just now. It is a great opportunity for you to make money. I attended your banquet some time ago, and I remember that many people expressed their support for my work. What I ask everyone to support me now is to ask everyone to move their own industries, family and relatives back to Tokugawa County and expand the production scale. This is my greatest support."

"There may be some people who are worried about the invasion of foreign enemies and the social security situation is not good. I here to assure you that as long as I stay in Tokugawa County for one day, this kind of thing will never happen. We are about to start the social security rectification campaign. As for the effect, I believe everyone will see it soon."

Speaking of this, Qin Mu changed his mind, "But according to the information I have, there are many people in our Tokugawa Prefecture who have close contacts with foreign enemies and bandits. In this case, is it considered a collaboration between the enemy? The position of the county magistrate of Qin is cushioned by the enemy's corpse, and the official hat is also stained with the enemy's blood. I don't want the corpse and blood of my own people to add color to my position."

Although Qin Mu's tone was careless, he finally glanced at everyone in the hall, making everyone feel cold. Those who had ghosts in their hearts trembled and cold sweats flowed.

"I hope those who have had these behaviors in the past can go to Director Mu Ziqi to make it clear by themselves. I can leave the blame for the past. If I try to be lucky, get away with it, or do new things, then don't blame Qin's subordinates for being ruthless."

Suddenly the hall was quiet.

"Of course, I am not saying that I cannot do business with people like the Huns, but that they must have appropriate control over materials such as weapons, armor, food, salt, and tea, which are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Large transactions of such materials must be filed with the Office of the Internal Affairs Office, and other scattered transactions are not subject to this limit."

Before this, Qin Mu discussed and analyzed with Liang Qiming and Mu Ziqi that the Huns and horse thieves and bandits have been rampant in this area for many years and must have colluded with some illegal merchants in this area, so he also took this opportunity to shock the mountains and remind these people.

"Anyway, I hope that everyone here can abide by the law, make a lot of money, make a fortune, and contribute their own strength to the creation of the prosperous New Tokugawa County!"

The feast began with the end of Qin Mu's words and the thunderous applause, but many people were unwilling to accept the taste of food and were worried about whether to go to the Interior Affairs Office to report after the banquet.

In the next few days, Qin Mu negotiated with Zhao Dongcheng and Wei Dongchen, and Liang Qiming came out to temporarily lend 10 million taels of silver from the two companies. The two said they could support it free of charge, but Qin Mu politely declined and agreed to return it within three years and calculate the interest based on the current market interest rate. However, they were required to take the lead in expanding production and operation, and move all their family, relatives and industries back to Tokugawa County. The two also agreed to take the lead and actively do the work of other merchants.

At the same time, many businessmen from the Interior Affairs Office where Mu Ziqi is located also went to explain the report. Mu Ziqi also followed Qin Mu's opinion and completed the registration and filing, and only needed to pay a fine of 10,000 taels. This matter was over and encouraged these people to put down their burdens and expand their business operations. The government will not blame the past for the past, but it must report in the future.

Tokugawa County's policy of attracting investment and encouraging immigration quickly spread throughout the empire and mainland China, and soon it was reflected that many homeless homeless wanderers, farmers who lost their land and could not survive, bankrupt small producers, craftsmen, technicians, and workers who were eager to work all came to Tokugawa County one after another. Although the number was not large, it had a good start after all.

The training of the troops was progressing smoothly under the strict requirements of Qin Mu. The heads of each division came on the field to supervise and inspect every day. The training effect of the soldiers was significant. The wounded and sick were basically cured. Except for some who lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries, the others have recovered.

The intelligence collection work was extremely smooth. Since the local people had long hated foreign enemies and horse thieves and bandits, they all actively cooperated with the government and actively reported and reported doubts, achieving good results.

"Sir, a fat sheep is here."

When Mu Zi walked into Qin Mu's study excitedly, Qin Mu was worried about how to complete the "fund-raising" task in the capital. Although it looked easy at the banquet, it was really not easy to complete this task.

First of all, you must do your work in front of His Emperor. Qin Mu is still sure of this, but the specific handling will be done in the next step. Mida, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Qin Empire, is not an easy person to be dismissed. Although he is not a member of the Donglin Party, he may do his work in progress. Otherwise, he will give you a message that the treasury is empty and there is no money.

There are also those who have their own dead opponents, and the Donglin Party members will also make them get the money so easily, which are very brain-harming things.

"What fat sheep?" Qin Mu asked Mu Ziqi, who interrupted his thoughts in anger.

"Hehehe~~"

Mu Ziqi smiled thornyly, making Qin Mu feel furious, "What kind of fat sheep? Tell me clearly, I think you are like a fat sheep!"

Qin Mu, who looked at Mu Ziqi's short and fat man, asked again.

Maybe he was in a good mood, and Mu Ziqi seemed to have never heard Qin Mu's sarcasm. "There is reliable information that some people in our Tokugawa Prefecture colluded with the lowly Huns and bandits, and this person has a lot of assets and has not yet reported to me."

"Oh?" Qin Mu became interested when he heard this, "Who is it? Is the news reliable? Is there any money?"

Now I’m really troubled by money. Now someone is giving it money, it would be strange if Qin Mu is not excited.

"There should be no problem with the information. This person moved to Tokugawa Prefecture from another place more than ten years ago. He lives in a village that is about to border the Beihun Kingdom. He usually does not interact with these merchants in Tokugawa County. He heard that he controls the village alone, and he has more than a thousand private armed people. He did not come to this banquet, but he came to the previous celebration and his name was Hamas." Mu Ziqi said, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he saw money all over the place.

"How is the source of the intelligence? Don't get it wrong."

Although he was eager to gain something, Qin Mu was still extremely cautious, because if he made mistakes in such things, it would greatly destroy the image he had finally established. Once the image was broken, it would be very difficult to remedy it. Qin Mu did not want to lose the big picture because of a small loss.
