That night, Xiao Yuan personally went to the barracks and had a drink with the soldiers below.

His seat is directly above, on both sides below, are the generals of various ministries at all levels, and below, there are soldiers sitting together in threes, threes, twos, and twos.

After all the wine and meat were served, he stood up and said in a loud voice: "If there are no ranks, it will be difficult to clear the bandits in Qinzhou, thank you here!" ”

As he spoke, he also took a wine glass: "Come!" Drink! ”

As soon as he took the cup, everyone below stood up and said in unison, "Respect Lord Taishou-"

Such a Taishou, mixed with ordinary soldiers, shared everyone's wine and meat, and rewarded the three armies, which played a certain role in the cohesion of the army's heart.

The next day, Taishou Mansion.

Xiao Yuan unfolded a silk book, first raised his eyes to look around at the people below, and then read aloud:

"Qinzhou is too obedient, that is, Liu Yuzhi is appointed as the governor of Qinzhou, and Zuoli is too shou, and he is in charge of Qinzhou's grain and horses, taxes, household registration and other things."

"The subordinate officer takes the order." Liu Yuzhi hurriedly stepped out of the queue and bent down to salute.

"Ren, Su Yi is the governor of Qinzhou."

When the latter heard this, his face immediately became excited, and he hurriedly stood up, bowed down, and gave a deep salute: "The last general takes the order!" ”

This Qinzhou Lieutenant can be regarded as a local senior general, at least two levels higher than Su Yi's previous military rank.

Of course, he has meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and Xiao Yuan also has clear rewards and punishments, and there is no doubt about employing people.

"Ren, Peng Shuang is the general of Qinzhou."

"Ren, Shangguan Wenruo is sacrificing wine for the military advisor."

"Ren, Liu Changqing is the lord of Qinzhou."

"Ren, Ye Cheng is General Wuwei."

“……”

This appointment is not trivial, all of them are important positions in Qinzhou, some are in charge of people's livelihood and money and grain taxes, some are in charge of soldiers and horses, some are in charge of the treasury, and some are in charge of public security.

And from this moment on, the core skeleton of Xiao Yuan's forces has also been basically formed.

The county orders in various places were appointed by him personally.

There are Shangguan Wenruo and Liu Yuzhi below.

Wu has Peng Shuang and others.

Those who can be appointed as generals are Su Yi.

Su Yi is a person, Xiao Yuan has studied it carefully, and he is definitely up to the task.

Next, Liu Yuzhi began to suggest to Xiao Yuan that raising soldiers benefit the people.

First of all, he pointed out that the existing Qindi farmland system is not conducive to the development of people's livelihood.

That is to say, now in the entire Qin land, most of the fertile land has been annexed by the wealthy and powerful, and the people are farming for these magnates, and they have little income, but they still have to pay heavy taxes.

Then he suggested that Xiao Yuan should reclaim the wasteland and reward farming.

He put forward three points of view to Xiao Yuan, first, the government demarcates the land, the people reclaim it, and the good land obtained, in the first three years, half of the income from cultivation is handed over to the government, and after three years, the good land is owned by the people, according to the normal tax.

Second, dredge waterways and prohibit people from fighting over farmland water.

Third, if the people do not have the tools for cultivation, they lend them tools, and if they do not have ploughing oxen, they lend them ploughing oxen, and as long as they can reclaim good land, they can make a lot of investment in the early stage.

Liu Yuzhi is good at governing civil affairs, and Xiao Yuan has nothing to say about his suggestion, so he immediately agreed.

Now the cultivation situation of Qindi, most of the fertile land is owned by the wealthy and powerful, and most of the people are working for the powerful, that is to say, the fields planted are all other people's, if they can cultivate their own fields, then who is willing to cultivate for the powerful.

But in this way, it is undoubtedly offending all the big households.

But for these, Xiao Yuan will be suppressed by force, and the policy is unquestionable!

In the era of farming, what the common people wanted was to have land to plant.

It can be imagined that after this decree was issued, it set off a lot of turmoil in Qindi.

For a time, the whole people were boiling, and all the people were enthusiastic about reclamation, wanting to have a few acres of their own fertile land, and people working could be seen in all counties and counties.

On the other hand, Shangguan Wenruo also reminded Xiao Yuan that Xirong had repeatedly violated the border, so he should urgently prepare for war, dredge the Qindi trade route, buy war horses, build cavalry, and counterattack Xirong.

For his suggestion, Xiao Yuan naturally nodded in agreement, and then wrote a letter to Jia Ming, a merchant he knew before, telling the latter that there were no bandits in Qindi, and there was an urgent shortage of war horses, and the price was much higher than that of other places.

Jia Ming, who received the letter, thought it was profitable, so he took a caravan and rushed to Qindi.

Although Xiao Yuan told him in the letter that there were no more bandits, he was still a little worried along the way, and after arriving in Qinzhou, Xiao Yuan met him in person.

When the two met, Jia Ming couldn't help but tremble and said, "Lord Taishou, there are really no mountain bandits in this Qin land?" ”

"Of course, it's all wiped out." Xiao Yuan replied simply, and at the same time looked at the caravan behind him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just a little war horse?" ”

At that time, war horses were precious, ordinary people generally did not have them, and Qin Di did not produce horses, because there were ingredients to try to take a look in it, Jia Ming only brought a dozen horses this time.

Xiao Yuan received all the orders at a high price.

It doesn't matter if this is collected, after Jia Ming went back, the news spread quickly, and many merchants couldn't help but go there when they knew that Qin Di was already safe to trade and that war horses were expensive.

After those merchants came to Qindi, it was not only war horses, such as silk and rouge, etc., but also Qindi, which was also lacking, and it was conceivable that the profitable situation was that Qindi finally resumed the trade road.

Subsequently, Xiao Yuan began to collect commercial taxes according to Shangguan Wenruo's strategy, and recruited troops to expand armaments.

Time flies.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

A series of decrees promulgated by Xiao Yuan all revolved around the strategy of raising soldiers and benefiting the people, and they were even more severe.

Qindi finally ushered in the first great rule.

A few months later, the Ordnance Division completed the construction of the first ordnance.

Qinzhou military camp.

"It's paid! It's paid—"

The quartermaster office was overcrowded, and countless soldiers were in their respective squads, waiting for the leader's salary.

Now the Qinzhou army, under Xiao Yuan's military order, is no longer this army or that army, but is collectively referred to as the Qin army.

After a few cases, the officer in charge of the issuance was checking the military registration, and after it was over, he said to the soldier who received the money:

"Wang Dazhuang, this is your military salary, this is your new military card, don't lose it, this military card represents your identity!"

"Understood!" Wang Dazhuang first responded, then took his military card and silver, and couldn't help but say with a light in his eyes: "So much silver? ”

"The military salaries owed by the state government in the past have been made up by Lord Taishou!" The officer replied to him, then pointed away, "Go over there and get your new armor!" ”

The officer was right, in the past, Guo Qian privately withheld military salaries and embezzled money, but now Xiao Yuan has replenished these soldiers, and since then, the military salaries have doubled, and the morale of the army has naturally been greatly boosted.

"Look, our new armor, how majestic it is......"

"Yes, this is much stronger than the previous cloth armor, look at this texture......"

The soldiers were talking, their faces full of excitement.
