I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 160 Assigning tasks

Yunyue would receive news from Cherry and Banana every few days.

Yunyue had not originally planned to have them supervise the work, but since there was no one else to send, they volunteered to help supervise the two county magistrates. Otherwise, Yunyue was afraid that they would pretend to obey but actually disobey, and the people would suffer.

Now is an important moment for her to win the trust of the people, and there can be no mistakes.

Although they were given poison, threats were not always effective and someone had to supervise them. Fortunately, Cherry and Basho were both skilled in martial arts and had several guards with them, so Yunyue felt relieved.

Now the tax refund activities in the two counties are going smoothly. Banana Cherry also wrote about what they saw and heard in the letter, and Yunyue passed the letter to everyone to read.

"What do you think?"

"Oh, the people are suffering so much." Huang Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable, with her brows tightly furrowed.

"I have been an official for so many years. Although I have never oppressed the people, my inaction on some things happening in the court has also harmed the people in disguise. I... feel ashamed of the people!" Huang Shide said with a guilty look on his face.

"The common people are actually very easy to satisfy, as long as they have enough food and warm clothes. But the court can't even meet such a small request..."

"..."

Yun Yue listened to everyone's thoughts, raised her eyes, and said firmly: "Then let us do it! One day, the people of the world will no longer suffer from hunger and cold..."

Everyone's eyes were determined; at this moment, they all shared a common belief.

After that, everyone continued to discuss. The affairs of a state capital cannot be compared with those of a small village.

Except for Huang Shide, the others present had no experience in being an official, and they had no idea about many of the matters handled by the government offices. So Huang Shide raised the questions, and everyone discussed and solved them one by one. Many things were gradually assigned.

Si Yin took the initiative to propose to do her old job and set up an intelligence department. Yun Yue was naturally very happy. This place is not like the future, where you can know everything about the world without leaving home. The information is blocked now, and the bigger their stall is in the future, the more they need first-hand information.

Sometimes a piece of information ahead of time can determine the outcome of a match.

"Okay, great, Si Yin, just go ahead and do it. If you need funding, just ask our Deliu Finance Department for it!"

Finance Liu Liu straightened her chest. She was much more confident now. In the past, when there was no money in the village, she could only scrimp and save. Now that there was money, Yunyue was a walking cornucopia! And for such an important matter, she would definitely provide enough funds.

"Yunyue, I want to form a special team." Li Wanhua suddenly proposed.

"Special forces?" Zhang Yuankai asked doubtfully.

Only Yunyue knew what it meant, because she was the one who downloaded it to Li Wanhua's tablet.

"Are there any rules?" Yun Yue asked.

"A little! Nowadays, wars are all about numbers, but the strength of special forces is that they can achieve the greatest victory with only a very small number of people." Li Wanhua pursed her lips and continued.

"Although it is exciting to fight each other with real swords and guns on the battlefield, our soldiers also suffered heavy casualties. Every victory is paid for with countless lives and the tears of countless families."

"In the past, I only wanted to go to the battlefield and become a general, but now I can't bear to see my soldiers die on the battlefield one by one. Becoming a general is my wish, to protect the people of Tianchen like my father did. However, these soldiers are also the people of Tianchen... So I want to form a special team."

Li Wanhua was serious and determined.

Yunyue couldn't help but smile.

Everyone has grown up, including Wanhua, who has the most unstable personality.

"Okay, have you decided how big you want to build?"

"The number of people doesn't need to be too many, but they must be elite. Forty or fifty people will be enough." After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Yuankai.

Yunyue has been with Li Wanhua the longest, so she can tell what she means just by looking at her.

Then he said to Zhang Yuankai.

"Brother Zhang, can you let Wanhua go to your Qianhu Guard to pick some people?"

"This..." Zhang Yuankai was not sure what this special forces unit did and hesitated for a moment.

Yunyue briefly explained to them what the special forces team is.

Everyone thought it was feasible. Zhang Yuankai's eyes lit up after hearing it. He even had an urge to join.

"I can tell the brothers, but whether they are willing or not depends on whether you can convince them."

Li Wanhua nodded confidently: "Okay."

"Then Wanhua, don't leave after the meeting."

Li Wanhua nodded like a chick pecking at rice, feeling very happy, because she knew Yunyue was going to give her some special treatment.

Since we are talking about soldiers, Yun Yue decided to start with the Qianhu Guards.

"The most important thing for us now is the safety of the guards in the city. Brother Zhang, how much silver do your people in the Qianhu Division get per month now?"

"I, a thousand-householder, get 8 taels of silver a month, a hundred-householder gets 4 taels, and a soldier gets taels of silver a month. That's why many people collude with Prefect Lin and his gang..."

"Two taels? That's too little!" Yun Yue frowned. It was less than what everyone in their village had.

"So, starting today, the monthly salary for the Qianhu Office will be changed. You will get 15 taels a month, the Baihu will get 10 taels, and the soldiers will get 5 taels a month, just like the guards in our village."

"Really?" Zhang Yuankai was delighted.

"Of course, not only that, we will open the largest clinic in the city in the early spring of next year. The soldiers of the Qianhu Troop will be exempt from all medical expenses in the future, and even your family members will only be charged half of the medicine price when they go to the hospital."

"Master! I thank you on behalf of my brothers!" Zhang Yuankai stood up in surprise and bowed to Yunyue. The increase in monthly salary was not what made him happiest. The happiest thing was free medical treatment, and most importantly, their families could also enjoy it.

"Don't be too happy yet. Since I have improved the welfare of the Qianhu Troop, the people in the Qianhu Troop can no longer be like before. They must be trained well. From time to time, I will arrange for people to conduct spot checks or drills. If they fail, I will not want them. In addition, the Qianhu Troop must abide by the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, just like our village. If I find someone oppressing the people and violating the discipline, I will deal with them severely!"

"Three major disciplines and eight points of attention?"

Yunyue winked at Lingyao, and Lingyao picked up a pen and paper and wrote it down, then handed it to Zhang Yuankai.

"This is also the rule of our village."

Zhang Yuankai finished reading the contents on the paper and looked at Yunyue with a complicated expression.

"Master Yue, I admire you deeply. You truly care about the people..."

"I'm just repeating what others have said. The discipline of the Qianhu Suo is now in your hands. If there is any problem, I will only punish you."

"Yes, I obey."

Do things one by one and eat meals one bite at a time.

Therefore, Yunyue did not continue to assign other tasks for the time being, because they still had to deal with the matters that had been taken over by Prefect Lin. There were so many bad debts that they had to be dealt with bit by bit.

Besides, the Chinese New Year is just over half a month away. Let's spend the New Year peacefully.
