"Take a break! Attention! ”

On the wide cement square, a large number of green figures gathered and acted according to the slogan, and a full 3,000 people gathered into a phalanx, and the scene was magnificent.

Looking at these 3,000 people, Zhu Youxiao was full of joy, this was his biggest achievement in the past five years. Among these people, the eldest of the grades, is now only twenty-five years old, just in the prime of life, in the prime of life, and has been in the long five years of uninterrupted training, except for not seeing blood, all aspects of quality are very strong.

All the 800-strong Yulin Army was dispatched, and the manpower was selected and expanded, and this time, a whole regiment was expanded. Those with excellent grades became platoon commanders, company commanders and even battalion commanders, and those with medium grades also became squad leaders. And those who are still training, it can only be a pity, who makes them have the worst merit, they can only be ranked last to study.

The noisy division of troops lasted for a whole morning, knowing that it was only over at noon when the meal was over, standing on the high platform, Zhu Youxiao's eyes swept over and looked at his subordinates.

All of them have a strong head and a resolute expression, and five years of uninterrupted training and screening have created their iron-like discipline. Especially here in the salt works, whoever does not hear about it will be driven out, not only will they lose the qualification of the salt works guards, but they will also be driven out of the salt works and left in the fields, starving to death.

They have seen too many such things, and in five years, under the cruel punishment, everyone understands that only by doing everything explained above can they have a stable life and be well fed and clothed.

Slowly swept his gaze, Zhu Youxiao could easily distinguish the difference between the Yulin Army and the Yanchang Zhuangding, the Yulin Army soldiers were high-spirited and full of spirit, and the whole person had a kind of spirit of hard work, while the Yanchang Zhuangding, although he was also physically strong and had a solemn expression, was a little mechanical and dull.

It's like the difference between an assembly line product and a product crafted by a master.

Despite this, Zhu Youxiao was still overjoyed in his heart, the machine was mechanical, the rigidity was rigid, and it was good to be able to complete the order well, and there was no need to have too many ideas. From another point of view, this can prove that Zhu Youxiao's training is effective, and the most important thing in the phalanx is not discipline, only the most cruel discipline can have the strongest combat effectiveness.

The phalanx of more than 3,000 people is quite large, and the people standing in it are closely connected with the others, as if they have infinite power, and a strange sense of security permeates the whole body, which is the power of the collective.

Zhu Youxiao was also very satisfied, this was the first time he had gathered everyone, in the past, it was divided into small parts of the training, and he didn't dare to gather too many people, for fear of being accused of rebelling, even if Wanli knew that he had trained some Ming soldiers to prevent theft.

He had to be extremely careful, since the products of the Tiangong Workshop could not leave Beijing, he felt that there were always a pair of eyes staring at him, and he didn't leave for a moment, just wanting to find out his mistakes and omissions and make a fatal blow, which is also the reason why he has not dared to make much action in the past few years.

This time, he also took advantage of the opportunity of Wanli to be in bed before he dared to gather everyone together for training, at this point in time, there is no need to be afraid of anything, wait for the situation here to be found out, and then when it is fed back to Wanli, it is estimated that it will be July, and whether Wanli has the energy at that time is still two words.

"Ten days later, the school will be paraded!" Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice, the rolling sound, under the agitation of his chest, spread throughout the entire school field, compared to the previous shouting in the wind and rain to make people hear the order, his strength at the moment is much stronger.

"Yes!"

The soldiers below roared angrily, and countless voices, converging into one word, rose into the sky, and even the seabirds in the sky were frightened and scattered. If those who question Zhu Youxiao's ability to train soldiers see this scene, I am afraid that those people will not doubt the combat effectiveness of these soldiers.

"Disband!"

Under the order of Zhu Youxiao, battalion by battalion left. In his weaving, the battalion is the most basic combat unit, a battalion of 1,000 people, almost responsible for independent dispatch. Of course, this expansion is not complete, first of all, the cavalry company that should have been in each battalion was canceled because there were no horses, and the same was true for the logistics company.

So run away from the original cavalry company, 900 men per battalion, a total of 3,06, and the remaining 100 people are the number of the new logistics company.

The number of people has been expanded, and all the previous posts have been promoted to one level, and the deputy position has been regularized, and the main position has been promoted by half a level to become a deputy battalion, but the military rank has not changed in the slightest, and this can only be promoted after meritorious service. The same is true for military ranks, and the first priority in the army is naturally to pay attention to it.

After the three thousand strong men were distributed, he basically didn't have to take care of it, and the free company commanders were responsible for training. With ten days to go, he was wandering around the salt farm, he hadn't been here for a long time, so he naturally had to take a good look.

At this time, the salt pan has expanded to the surrounding area in a few years, although the land enclosed in is not suitable for dividing the salt pans, but it is very good for building residences, the terrain is high, the scenery is good, and the salt pan land can be saved.

Around the salt works, Wang Wenyan built ten fixed villages, and tens of thousands of salt diners lived in these ten villages, working every morning under the leadership of the management staff, returning at sunset, except for the different sources of livelihood, they were no different from the farmers in the past.

Here, both the green and the woman have work, and the difference is only the amount of wages. More than 10,000 people do not grow food, vegetables, or weaving, so all the daily necessities they need are transported from the outside world, which also gives rise to a huge market.

The materials needed here are bought by the caravans belonging to the salt fields to Tianjin City or Beijing, and then sent to various villages to sell, which is not only convenient for the salt ding, but also convenient for the recovery of silver taels in their hands, forming a virtuous circle.

The salt works at this time have long been no longer the original system of supplying everything, except for the house salt works to help you do for free, you need to pay for everything else to buy. Of course, the wages are definitely more now than before, and there are so many fewer benefits.

In each Yanding village, there is also a private school, where there are more than 10 or 20 teachers, and all children between the ages of six and fifteen are required to attend here, which is mandatory. For this education, Zhu Youxiao called it a nine-year compulsory education.

Of course, in the curriculum that the children learn, in addition to the enlightenment of ancient texts, the most important thing is mathematics, and after that, Zhu Youxiao originally planned to teach others, but then I thought about it, five years later, these illiterate people who have never been literate can read through the articles and know arithmetic.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhu Youxiao has no textbooks, and he alone cannot compile textbooks for junior high and high schools in later generations. Therefore, there are only two courses in the private schools of the whole salt farm, Chinese and mathematics.

It took three days for Zhu Youxiao to visit the entire salt farm, and he was very satisfied with the situation here, "Mr. Wang is really talented, and he manages this place in an orderly manner." ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's all planned by His Highness, and I'm just acting according to the rules." Wang Wenyan practiced modesty, and then touted Zhu Youxiao, "Your Highness is really good at governing the country, just a small test, and tens of thousands of people will be governed so well." ”

"The rule of the three generations of the ancients is nothing more than that." His emotion is true, he admires Zhu Youxiao's governance methods from the bottom of his heart, but with just a few hands, he made the salt field properly.

"Haha." Zhu Youxiao just smiled and didn't care. After looking at the entire salt farm, he walked to the management area with the cavalry company.

The management area is the place where the salt field building is located, which is the center of the entire salt field, controlling the outflow of salt and the procurement of materials, etc., the management area is located in the northernmost part of the whole salt field, in the past it was the port and shipyard, along the Haihe River in the port to the west is the city of Tianjin, the two places have water conservancy convenience, it is very convenient to come and go, most of the materials of the salt field can be bought in Tianjin, are bought in Tianjin.

This also led to the development of Tianjin, where the military households and military roads have benefited greatly, so under the mutual benefit, Tianjin is also a blind eye to the affairs of the salt field, as long as the movement is not too big, will not come to interfere.

As he walked, Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Wang Wenyan next to him and said, "Mr. Wang, I suddenly remembered a clever trick, you come to check it." ”

"Listen to me." Wang Wenyan hit the horse and came over. Because he doesn't have any official position, Wang Wenyan has always called himself subordinate, and Zhu Youxiao has always called him Mr. Wang.

"That's right." After sorting out the language, Zhu Youxiao put forward the concept of endowment insurance.

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's eloquent words, Wang Wenyan's mouth was getting bigger and bigger, he didn't know what the other party's head thought, and he was able to come up with such an idea.

"This ......." Wang Wenyan pressed his chin hard and closed it, he smiled bitterly, and said apologetically, "Your Highness is talented, you can only barely understand what Your Highness said, if you want to make the axe right, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the strong." ”

"That's it!" Zhu Youxiao silently challowed, the concept of insurance is indeed a little advanced, even in later generations of China, it was only popular in the eighties and nineties, and it may be a little difficult to be accepted in the old society five or six hundred years ago.

It's just that after thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is no other obstacle to the introduction of insurance except for the change in concept, and the implementation of insurance in China in later generations is no different from that of China at this time. Of course, without computers, the statistics and recording of data is a big problem, but this does not hinder the development of insurance.

"I'll think about it later." Zhu Youxiao turned on his brain and thought about it deeply, and he felt that his whimsical idea was very feasible.

[Author's digression]: I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed, I'm really busy with work, and I have my own business, it's the middle of the year, and there's a lot of everything.
