Chapter 247 No Two Masters Who has the final say in Lanzhou? A year ago, Sang Fu had the absolute right to speak. Now that he is dead, who is the master of Lanzhou? Wen Yunxi or Xuan Lin? Everyone supported everyone, and they were well-founded and sound. However, no matter how fiercely they argued, Lanzhou was still in a state of chaos. Until this day, one appointment document after another, and one amendment order after another, it was overwhelming. Large-character notices were plastered all over the city gates, and Qingzhu Weekly was quickly transmitted to all parts of Lanzhou. Countless people read the contents aloud, and the contents shocked the entire Lanzhou. The original Lanzhou officials, except those who were magistrates of the county, were all dismissed from their posts and investigated. Those who were guilty were subject to the law, and those who were innocent were examined uniformly. The virtuous and talented people could have the opportunity to become officials again. The Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Supervision and Department of Culture and Propaganda were newly established. Except for the heads of each department, the others are all trial positions. If they pass the assessment one month later, they can be officially appointed. The people of Lanzhou had only a partial understanding of the functions and powers of these departments. Even if there were four new departments, they did not pay much attention to them. They only noticed the names of the officials in each department, but it was expected. Especially Su Qiao, the director of the Cultural and Propaganda Department. There is no one more suitable than him in the whole Lanzhou. He is knowledgeable and talented, has a wonderful writing style, is known as the number one scholar, and is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper. If you put it casually, it would be someone else's life-long goal, but he has occupied it. Perfect.
Every time at this time, the people of Lanzhou would thank the Central Plains court for their gift. Not only did they send them a miracle doctor, but also a literary star. With his literary talent, they could read and study more smoothly. "Look carefully, Divine Doctor Wen and His Royal Highness Lin Wang seem to be dividing the pie, one piece for you and one for me. If you compare it carefully, it seems that the power is evenly distributed." "Listen to what you said...it's true!" "Hey, what do you think that means? Come and take a look at this picture. It's only obvious here." Everyone moved to the army notice and saw that it was true. The number of armies of all ethnic groups was reduced and the Lan Guard Army was jointly formed. Wen Yunxi and Xuan Lin jointly took charge of the General Order, and four generals were established under them, namely Shu Yun, Yihe, Fang Lei, and Ye Lu. Shuo Yun and Yihe, one is the strongest warrior and future clan leader of the Shuiyi clan, and the other is the general of the Zhanyue clan stationed in the south and has the merit of supporting the new clan leader. These two people seem to be opposites, but in fact they are both Wen Yunxi's forces. Fang Lei, the commander of Xuan Lin's bodyguards, is his most trusted right-hand man. He is a fourth-rank military officer in the imperial court and has a cold face and bravery. "Hey, who is this Yulu?" The other three are all famous in Lanzhou, but few people have heard of Ye Lu. The announcer had already answered the question many times and immediately replied after hearing the words: "The general of Yanye Clan and the close nephew of the leader of Guajiana Clan." Yanye clan! Everyone knows that the Yanye clan is a direct force of Xuanlin. Even Xuanlin's spear is also Xuanlin's shield. The offensive force can threaten the Shanniu clan, and the defensive force can also contain the southeastern garrison of Sangfu. Looking back on those days, Guajiana, who was different from Sangfu, lived in the clan in frustration. Faced with the depreciation of food year by year, she could only tighten her belt and dare not say a harsh word. Later, he hooked up with Xuan Lin, and everyone laughed at him for his lack of vision and foresight. Especially after he was kidnapped by Zhu Yun, he and Xuan Lin became a joke in Lanzhou. Who would have thought that Guajiana could turn around and slap those who laughed at him in the face, so ignorant? Xuan Lin, whom he hooked up with, now shares equal power with Wen Yunxi. No vision? If you look carefully at the names of those officials, you can see that the Yanye clan has the largest number of people. After such a major change, Lanzhou has become equivalent to the country of China. The competition between tribes is no longer about numbers and military power, but about talents and financial power. The power of military leaders and officials of various ministries has become a crucial factor. The Yanye tribe initially occupied more seats, so they were a few steps ahead of other tribes, giving them a greater advantage. If they could seize this opportunity, they might be able to surpass the Zhanyue tribe. However, everyone's attention was quickly attracted by other information. Fifteen thousand dollars! The resettlement fee for veterans was as much as 15,000 yuan. The Red Moon Army’s previous military salary was only more than 100 yuan per month. This resettlement fee is equivalent to seven or eight more years of military service. Even without the previous salary In terms of military pay, compared with the best-paid Pingxiba workers, it is enough for them to work hard for a year and a half. With such a large amount of working capital, it is possible to rent a shop in the city or rent a stall outside the commercial street of Pingxiba. It is enviable to think about it.
Someone thought about it, slapped his thigh and said, "With such a high resettlement fee, who else wants to stay as a soldier?" Looking at this situation, all ethnic groups and localities will start to build workshops. By then, wages will definitely continue to rise. It is better to earn more outside in the military camp than to stay in the military camp. He was confused, but someone figured it out clearly, "You are stupid, take a closer look at what is written above. Military expenses start at one thousand, and increase step by step. Ordinary soldiers get one thousand a month, corps commanders get one thousand, and captains get one thousand." Five, if you go higher, how many more can you get?” "Who can afford this... so much military expenditure!" It’s not that I didn’t know, but I was shocked to find out that compared with the astonishing resettlement expenses, the military expenses were the biggest expense. It was like a Pixiu. When the money went into its belly, there was no sound at all. "Do you think that just anyone can join the Hulan Army? If you don't have any real skills, you will be passed up in the monthly assessment." "Then the Shui Yi clan members just entered casually. Who can compare to them in terms of individual soldier strength?" "This... there should be a limit on the number of people... probably..." Several people looked at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. Will the Shuiyi tribe take up most of the positions in the Hulan Army? So what do the Zhanyue people do to fight for it? Could it be that this is the actual purpose of reforming the military system? "Hey, why are you all covered in cold sweat? The tax reform is starting to be read over there. Come over and listen." The tax categories in Lanzhou are not complicated, there are only household tax and business tax. "That's great. The household tax has been reduced by half. This year, we can buy more bedding and clothes for our family." They cheered, but Shopkeeper Liu and others had a bad look on their faces, because although the business tax had not changed, several new items had been added, which was really not good news for businessmen like them. However, it is not without good news. All ports in Lanzhou are under the control of the government, so they do not need to pay entry and exit fees again, which can save a lot of costs in the long run. With such a change, the matter that everyone had been debating for many days came to an even conclusion. "Oh, that's a nice thought." Xuan Zeyi sneered and stabbed Zhuo Yun's portrait hard with the dagger in his hand. Even if several days had passed, the humiliation and pain at that time had not faded away at all. This revenge must be avenged! Did Xuan Lin, that loser, really think Wen Yunxi would be willing to share it equally? That kind of woman is never satisfied. If she doesn't step on her now, she will definitely get up and run wild again. Thinking of what his father had said before leaving, Xuan Zeyi, although he didn't take it seriously, still asked his subordinates to whisper that the old emperor had been ill for a long time and his father's ascension to the throne was just around the corner. He must make contributions as soon as possible so that he could have a chance to compete with his elder brothers. A fight. With the overwhelming power right above your head, who wouldn’t want to jump higher?
