Chapter 125 Humble Duty Understood
Hearing Ye Fu say this, everyone's eyes focused on him alone.
Ye Fu smiled with satisfaction and continued: "I set up the Chongwen Society, and the teachers are all funded by the Education Unit under the Political Section of the Second Division of my Staff Office, and the funds are also allocated from here. No tuition, textbook fees, and miscellaneous fees will be charged for school-age children. At noon, a free lunch is also provided for two years. At the time of graduation, a unified assessment will be conducted. I will set up a Chongwen Museum in each military fort, and all children who can reach the top three in the region can also enjoy the treatment of free of charge. For those who are in the top 10 but not in the top three, half of these fees will be subsidized by the school. But don't think that one exam can decide the fate, the Chongwen Museum has a four-year school system, an assessment is conducted every six months, and the candidates who are free and subsidized are adjusted. After graduating from the Chongwen Museum, a unified examination will be conducted, and those with excellent grades can enter the Chongwen Hall in the dangerous mountain. The dangerous mountain chongwen hall should be treated, and all imitate the dangerous mountain martial arts school. After graduation, he was arranged to serve as a civilian in the army. This is equivalent to jumping out of the farmhouse and becoming an official! Ladies and gentlemen, it's not so easy to take the imperial examination! ”
The people exchanged their heads and nodded frequently, obviously extremely interested in what Ye Fu said.
Of course, Ye Fu just threw a red date out, and they tasted the sweetness, so they naturally felt good. But the sweetness alone makes people feel that the strength is not enough.
Therefore, when they were almost finished, Ye Fucai said again: "Of course, I am good to you, and you have to let me be good to you!" I paper bag, oh, there are some people, even if I wear out my mouth, I still admit death. It's okay, Rongxiang, in the future, do as I say. If it is found that the school-age child fails to attend school on time, he will be reminded once a month! For the first time, good words persuade each other; The second time, he obstructed the child from going to school and beat the ten military sticks. If he refuses to listen to the persuasion again and again, starting from the third time, he will receive two more pieces of silver each time, and if he has no silver, he will pay off the debt! There is nothing to take the house to pay off the debt! If there is really nothing, just arrest people and put them in prison! Those who misunderstand my education should be punished! ”
Ye Fu's words were very serious.
Geng Rongxiang has always only listened to Ye Fu's greetings, when he was in the military academy, he didn't care about the sky, he didn't accept the ground, and he made a lot of trouble.
Ye Fu was satisfied, and then said: "Of course, you can think that my education unit is deaf and blind. So, if I say one more rule, isn't it a fine? I don't want this one! Who should report! If it is verified, I will reward whoever these two coins of silver will give it! In the same way, if something is confiscated, it will be rewarded to him in the same way! Not only that, in the future, anyone who discovers illegality and reports it will be rewarded! According to the verification rate of the reported things, as well as the size of the reported things, if there is a lot of accumulation, I will issue him a certificate of honor for maintaining law and order! With this certificate, there will be many benefits in the future, such as tax deductions and so on. Of course, if it is a false report, and the number of times is too much, I will also be punished for the crime of disturbing the peace! Please don't make a mistake! ”
When Ye Fu said this, he had completely blocked the way to escape invisibly.
There have been many examples of this kind of mutual supervision by neighbors and villagers in the past, and there have been many in the future. It can be said that as long as people live in a group, it is inevitable that there will be dislikes. A good person on the surface may not be so good behind the scenes. Therefore, as long as this mechanism is in place, everyone is in a state of supervision, and it is difficult to escape it.
Geng Rongxiang lowered his head and lowered his hand, listening to it on the side, and couldn't help but sigh for Ye Fu's thoughts.
Moreover, he had other ideas.
This practice of using neighbors to supervise each other, and also to select pacesetters, naturally, there will be many people who like to stare at the small things of other people's homes and like to complain to others. And this kind of person is born to be a spy!
Geng Rongxiang even thought that he could screen among these people, and he could use them to spy on high-quality spies in the streets and alleys, so as to expand his power.
He was thinking happily, Ye Fu had already looked at Liu Chuang and said to him, "Since you have this talent, go study." Don't worry, if you really need to spend money in the future, come to me. I think you have a good relationship with me, at least, the eyes are good. If you want, I'd like to recognize you as a godson. ”
Liu Chuang, this kid was very clever, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ye Fu.
Ye Fumei smiled, but secretly said in his heart: This kid is ruthless enough!
The scene was made for outsiders to see, and behind closed doors, Ye Fu didn't have much of a good temper towards his subordinates.
"This incident is said to be a contradiction within the family, but in fact, it is a big problem in our army!" Ye Fu knocked on the table and said to the subordinates standing in the hall, "Why did such a thing happen when an only son died?" It's not that they have two sons, and one died unexpectedly, so only one soldier remained. It's that they originally had only one son, but they were recruited into the army! Isn't this a family that has no children and grandchildren? ”
Tang Wang bowed his head and was silent, but Geng Rongxiang, who had always been absolutely obedient to Ye Fu's orders, complained a little about this, "My lord, I think that my dangerous mountain army itself is more advanced and fair and well-treated than other places. That's why so many young people are eager to join the army. If you change places and want to recruit the right source of soldiers, it is still very difficult! Therefore, he thought that even an only son had the right to voluntarily join the army. ”
"Oh? What do you think? Ye Fu raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment.
In later generations, there were naturally many examples of only sons joining the army and heroic sacrifices, and even several examples of a family serving in the army, each of which died in battle, leaving only parents at home.
In today's situation, the source of troops in the dangerous mountains has been in a state of shortage. Moreover, the Tartars may counterattack anytime and anywhere, and the required sources of troops are far from enough. What's more, Ye Fu knew that this messy stall at the end of the Ming Dynasty had to be filled with a lot of human lives, which was inevitable.
After pondering for a while, Ye Fu had to nod.
"Well, I'm not too careful." He admitted it frankly, but Tang Wang was a little surprised. But before he could show it, he had already heard Ye Fu say: "In the past, I implemented a conscription system in the dangerous mountains, but due to the needs of the war, in the future, it will be changed to a reserve system." ”
Tang Wang was puzzled: "My lord, what is the reserve system?" ”
Ye Fu replied: "The so-called reserve system, that is, soldiers are not recruited and come voluntarily, but are forced to serve as soldiers. ”
"Forced!" Tang Wang exclaimed, "My lord, since ancient times, good men have not been soldiers, if they are not military households, where is there anyone who is willing to be transferred to be a soldier?" ”
Ye Fu said disapprovingly: "I, Liaodong, lead the guard with the capital division, and it should be all military households!" Now, it is mostly homeless. What's the point? No wonder there are always not enough soldiers! ”
"But didn't you say that you should choose the good and the bad?" Tang Wang asked puzzled.
Ye Fu replied, "Of course! Of course, it is necessary to choose the good and the bad. Therefore, the first provision is that all residents of the dangerous mountain who have reached the age of 16 must be inspected and registered. The results of the examination are divided into four categories: A, B, C, D. According to the results of the examination, there is still a real need, and they will be transferred to the army in batches. Among them, the first class will be arranged to enlist in the army in the same year, and after new training, priority will be given to the troops with high physical fitness requirements. The second class was also arranged to enlist in the army that year, and after new training, priority was given to replenishing combat units. Class C, enlistment will be arranged as needed. The above three classes, including new training, have a service period of two years. Two years later, it was replenished as a reserve. D, etc., directly replenish the reserves. Garrisons can live and work normally, they can farm if they want to farm, they can work if they want to work, and they can do business if they want to, but they must spare half a month every year to arrange retraining nearby. ”
"That is, in fact, only two years to be a soldier? You can consider that! Tang Wang said, "I have a Ming military system, and it is a lifelong thing to be in the army." To be a big soldier for a lifetime, naturally no one wants to. But if I only do it for two years, plus my dangerous mountain army is indeed well paid, I should be able to recruit a lot of people. ”
"Well, that's right." Ye Fu nodded and said, "Of course, after the two-year service period, if you want to continue to serve, you can also do it." Then change from a deputy soldier to a regular soldier. Regular soldiers can serve for a maximum of four years, and in the future, the martial arts academy will only recruit regular soldiers who have served for one year, which can be recommended for meritorious service or admitted by themselves, but will no longer be recruited from the people. If a regular soldier cannot be promoted within four years, he must be discharged. ”
"Well, that's unusual." Tang Wangqian smiled and said, "My lord, this is the first time I've heard of anyone forcing a soldier who has not committed a crime to continue to serve as a soldier. ”
Ye Fu leaned back in the chair and said, "Then let me ask you, two years of deputy soldiers, four years of regular soldiers, in today's war period, I have been a soldier for six years, I have not died, I am not disabled, but I have not made meritorious contributions." Tell me, what is the reason? ”
Tang Wang was suddenly speechless.
What else could be the reason? Although he has a big life, he is not suitable for being a soldier.
Ye Fu saw the meaning in his eyes, "So, I am not suitable to be a soldier, and I have to give him a military salary, I feel wronged." ”
Tang Wang nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, I understand what you mean." Therefore, under normal circumstances, you will only be a soldier for two years, and you will continue to be a soldier only if you are voluntary. Only the right ones can get the opportunity to rise. Humble duty understood! ”
"You don't quite understand it yet." Ye Fu shook his head and said, "That's it, I'll tell you." Deputies, not all have the opportunity to participate in field battles. I don't force people who really don't want to go to war, otherwise it's very easy to desert. Even if the physical evaluation is first-class, and I don't want to go to the front line, I won't force it. There are many positions in the army, and a lot of people are needed. Those who are unwilling to go to the front can be used to defend the city and maintain law and order. I'm just saying that we will give priority to replenishing the front-line troops, but it's not certain. Also, the quality of the people will slowly improve with the opening of the people's wisdom, sixteen years old, such an age is easy to be impulsive. As for how to guide their impulse and let them do things that are beneficial to the country and themselves, that is what Rongxiang needs to consider. ”
