Chapter 67: Countdown to Destroying Jiao

Jinmao thought that the performance appraisal of future companies could be used for probationary period conversion, training, job transfer, promotion and demotion, etc.

He shared this idea with everyone.

Xi Zhicai clapped his hands and praised him, saying, "Your Excellency is wise and powerful!"

"Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, make the best use of their abilities, promote the capable and demote the mediocre. Great! It's really great!"

Yu Fan looked at Xi Zhicai with disdain and asked, "Mingsir, what are the specific details?"

Jin Mao spread his hands and said, "If I knew everything, what would I need you for?"

Yu Fan bowed his head in shame, and Xi Zhicai took the responsibility: "Mingsir, leave this matter to me!"

What an eyesore!

When he saw Xi Zhicai, He Wei felt a deep sense of crisis. He was no match for him in terms of cheekiness, looks, or intelligence.

"My lord, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the position of county lieutenant." He Wei retreated to advance: "Please choose someone else who is wise and capable."

After He Wei reminded him, Jin Mao finally remembered the important matter and waved his hand, saying, "No hurry, eat first, eat first."

The lunch was very simple, and I found out the reason after asking.

Food shortage!

Jin Mao spent all his money, and now there is less than 10,000 shi of grain left.

Training troops requires food! Reclaiming wasteland requires food! Building water conservancy projects requires food!
Everything requires grain, and Jinmao has issued a strict order not to ask the villagers for money. Now it is still half a year away from the early rice harvest in July. How can we survive without careful planning?
There is no way, Jinmao has to fill the hole it has dug itself. Soldiers need to be trained, and new soldiers will not be recruited for the time being.

All infrastructure construction such as land reclamation and water conservancy construction have been stopped and will be carried out when there is food.

We need to save money and increase revenue.

There will be a bumper harvest of rapeseed oil this year, so Jinmao decided to go to several counties in the north of Kuaiji County to find some big buyers. Anyway, he had to go to Shangyu to deal with the Jiao family.

In addition, Yu Fan did not go home for the New Year, so Jin Mao decided to give his first strategist a chance to return home in glory.

After meal.

Jinmao rewards people according to their merits.

Yu Fan was promoted to acting magistrate of Wushang County. The work he is doing now is what a county magistrate should do, so his promotion is not fast.

Jin Yun was promoted to acting head of Taimo County. Taimo County connects Wushang and Songgu Plains. Jin Mao hopes that Jin Yun can focus on cultivating Taimo County, where the terrain is flat and the land is fertile, making it a good place to grow crops.

Jinshan was promoted to the position of magistrate of Wushang County. This uncle did not have outstanding abilities and it was very difficult for him to be a county magistrate. He needed to rely on Yu Fan, but when he was in charge of the rear, loyalty was the only thing that mattered. Nothing else mattered.

Liu Hua did not make any particularly outstanding contributions and did not make any mistakes, so he retained his original position.

He Wei strongly requested to stay and run errands for Jin Mao, so he agreed to his resignation from the post of county lieutenant, and was replaced by Liu Gan, who had outstanding performance and was mainly responsible for the affairs of Songgu and Yaoxiang.

The third son of the Liu family is a man of low-key talent, careful in his work, and good at calming people's hearts. The Yao people all respect him very much.

Not only Liu Gan was capable, his two sons were also good. Liu Fang had outstanding skills, so Jin Mao made him a county assistant, which was considered an official position.

Liu Ping had made great contributions in his last mission to Zhu Fu, so Jin Mao arranged a position for him as a secretary to the commandery, and he was at the service of the commandery. He Wei also had this position, and he only had to do some diplomatic work.

Taurus is not very smart, but has strong agricultural skills. He will be promoted to be the commander of the military farm and can recruit 50 subordinates.

Jinmao hopes that Jinniu can bring out more agricultural experts, and Jinniu says he will never keep any of them to himself.

Jin Yang also wanted to be a secretary under Xi Zhicai, but he had no education, so Jin Mao decided to let Jin Yang continue to follow Xi Zhicai.

However, this time it’s not about monitoring, but about learning.

As for Xi Zhicai, Jin Mao arranged for him to go to Taimo County and help Jin Yun as a village headman, asking Jin Yun to take good care of this playboy and teach him the difference between the five grains.

Don't just drink and take drugs all day long. You are only 26 years old, and your body is so weak that you are almost worse than a woman. I am really afraid that you will die suddenly one day.

Xi Zhicai never thought that his first job would involve working in the fields!

But for a bright future, I have to endure it!
Finally, Jinmao wanted to let the hardworking Wu Tian take the position of Jinyunshan Township's treasurer, but was politely declined.

"Ning Ye has made great progress. I want to keep the position for him."

It seems that Wu Tian is very satisfied with Ning Ye, but one thing is one thing.

Jin Mao said: "Just take charge of the job with peace of mind. I will make arrangements for Ning Ye."

Wu Tian was in tears and didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.

Jin Mao was never stingy with rewards, and he appointed Bai Shi as a marquis and let him lead his personal guards.

Yang Lin and Huang Xing of the third team performed well and were promoted to village chiefs. Liu Mu worked diligently, but his limited talent prevented him from making great contributions and he was promoted to team leader.

However, Liu Mu did not want to stay in the army anymore, so he asked to go and stay with Liu Fang to learn some skills.

Jin Mao thought it made sense. Both of them were taciturn and had their own characteristics. Most importantly, the industrial sector was very important. So Liu Mu's title remained unchanged, and he was still treated as a team leader, but his position changed. He became Liu Fang's subordinate and was temporarily without a position.

Finally, Jin Mao appointed Liu Ye and Jin Gao as the former Yongning County Magistrate and the acting Zhang'an County Magistrate respectively.

At this point, only Shan County was left without a county magistrate.

Jinmao once again feels that it is short of talent. Now that these people have been promoted, who will do the next work?
The desire to go to Shangyu County became more and more urgent. Yu Fan's hometown was in the neighboring Yuyao County. According to Jinmao's idea, it should not be difficult to recruit some grassroots talents there.

After dinner, the meeting continued.

"It's almost February, and March is the busy harvest season."

Jin Mao began, "Some things that must be done must be completed in February."

"Jiao family!"

"If it's not eliminated soon, I won't be able to sleep at night."

We have to fight!
Bai Shi and others immediately volunteered to fight. Jin Mao believed that they were not only good at shouting slogans, but also would not hesitate to take action.

Unexpectedly, the first person who jumped out to oppose was Xi Zhicai!

"Mingsir, I believe your men are all elite, but they have just experienced months of continuous battles. Isn't it too hasty to go into battle again?"

It seemed that this was the case, and Jin Mao asked, "What does Zhicai want to teach me?"

"Sun Tzu said, 'The best military operation is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to attack his alliances, the next best is to attack his troops, and the worst is to attack his cities.'"

Xi Zhicai twirled his few remaining whiskers and said, "I think it would be better to issue a proclamation to the entire county during the soldiers' rest period, accusing Jiao Jiao of treason."

"In this way, when we take action, we will be the army of justice, and the battle will be decided in one go!"

"Good!" Jin Mao praised: "Zhicai is worthy of being my Zifang, then I will leave this matter to you."

"Please allow me to listen to you, my lord." Xi Zhicai said with a smile, "I have to formulate detailed regulations, so I really can't spare the time."

Jin Mao thought it made sense, so he asked Yu Fan to do it.

"Yes." Yu Fan agreed. He felt that Xi Zhicai was not too busy, but he just couldn't write and was afraid of making a fool of himself.

Next, Jinmao resumed new meetings on agriculture, handicrafts and other fields.

At the meeting, he pointed out…

...

Shangyu County, Jiaojia.

The head of the branch family, Jiao Shi, was pacing back and forth in the lobby in a state of panic. There were three other people in the hall.

They were Jiao Jia, the head of the Yuyao branch, who also couldn’t control his expression.

There are also Jiao Jiao and his son, both of whom are quite patient.

"Chief, let's run!"

Jiao Shi's face was grim: "If we don't run, we will all die!"

Jiao Jia immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, run faster, the farther the better!"

"Humph! Run?" Jiao Jiao asked disdainfully, "Once you two leave Kuaiji County, what use will you two have? Are you going to become pariahs?"

"Oh, what should we do?" Jiao Shi and Jiao Jia became increasingly uneasy. This debate had been going on for more than a month, and still no conclusion had been reached.

In the end, they parted on bad terms again.

However, after Jiao Shi and Jiao Jia went out, they got together again and had a secret discussion.

Jiao Jiao seemed to have sensed something and said to Jiao Tong, "Son, Jin Mao's power is already established! The disaster of the whole family is just around the corner, you'd better run away."

Jiao Jiao finally showed his soft side towards his son.

Jiao Tong was very stubborn: "How can a son watch his father die? The son should die for his father first!"

"Alas." Jiao Jiao's mixed feelings turned into a fierce roar: "Then prepare to take action and put down the civil unrest first!"
