Chapter 55 Institutional Reform

The chaos they imagined didn't happen at all!

Zhu Laosi's family hid at home, trembling as they looked at the soldiers who passed by from time to time outside the door, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

For fear of incurring death for yourself!

"Dad, I'm hungry!"

Zhu Laosi's youngest daughter said pitifully, with a smiling face that was thin and yellow, and she looked like she had not eaten enough all year round and was malnourished.

"Alas, bear with it again, bear with it, the rebels have entered the city, and they don't dare to go out, and after two days of stability, Dad will go out to find you something to eat."

Zhu Laosi said helplessly.

Their family has been out of food for several days, and in the past few days, they have been living by eating some grass roots and tree bark, and Zhu Laosi has already made up his mind to go out of the city to sell his life to the traitors and exchange life-saving food for his family.

But today's rebels actually broke through Anping City, and Zhu Laosi, who was afraid in his heart, had to shrink up with his family, for fear of being hit by a military disaster, but there was no place to reason.

"Dad, I'm hungry, really hungry."

Zhu Laosi's youngest daughter rubbed her little belly and said, a pair of eyes that were originally ordered were full of tears.

"Dad, I'm hungry too."

Zhu Laosi's eldest son said.

Gollum......

This time it was the voice coming from his mother-in-law's belly.

Just when Zhu Laosi was about to say something, the door of their house was knocked from the outside.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhu Laosi's family all showed frightened expressions on their faces, is the military disaster coming?

The family cowered in the corner and didn't dare to move!

It's just that, at this moment, someone shouted outside.

"Is anyone there? The army entered the city, and the governor of the capital ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, so go to the county government to receive grain. ”

"Grace of the Metropolitan Governor, go and get the food, the porridge shed has been set up at the entrance of the county ya, take the bowl and get the food."

Listening to the shouts outside, Zhu Laosi's family looked at each other.

"It's ...... It's true? ”

Zhu Laosi couldn't believe it.

"I don't know."

Zhu Laosi's mother-in-law, Zhu Wushi, shook her head.

"Dad, I'm hungry......"

Son and daughter Qi Qi said.

Zhu Laosi gritted his teeth, picked up a pottery bowl, and strode outside.

"You mothers are hiding at home, I'll go out and have a look."

In the reluctant and worried eyes of his family, Zhu Laosi opened the door and walked out.

There were few pedestrians on the street outside, but in the middle of the street stood a young soldier in a military uniform.

Zhu Laosi gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ask boldly.

"This soldier, really open a warehouse to release grain?"

When the sergeant saw that someone had finally come out, he greeted him very warmly.

"Of course, what are you lying to, most of our governors say that they will open a warehouse and release grain."

"It's at the gate of the county government, let's go, it's too late."

Zhu Laosi nodded desperately and strode towards the county government's defense line.

Looking at Anping City, which was still the same as before, without the slightest trace of the military disaster, Zhu Laosi's beating heart slowly settled down.

It seems that this army is really strict in military discipline!

The army entered the city without plundering the place!

came to the gate of the county office, squeezed through the crowded crowd, and after registering the basic information of his family, Zhu Laosi successfully received relief food for four people.

It wasn't until Bai Huahua's food arrived that he realized that he was really not dreaming!

……

With the passage of time, Anping City seems to come to life, and more and more people gather at the gate of the county government waiting to receive food.

Pedestrians also began to walk on the streets, and children were also let out of the house by their families.

After a long absence, a large piece of cooking smoke floated over Anping County!

The children were playing in the streets after eating and drinking, and even if they bumped into the patrol sergeant, the sergeant was not angry.

Just rub their heads and tell them to be careful!

……

In the county office, Chen Yan sat in the lobby, and the high-level leaders of the army gathered in the hall.

"Governor Dadu, we have found 1,200 pieces of money, 400 horses of silk cloth, and a few ...... of gold and silver from the treasury of Anping City."

Wen Haisheng, who was in charge of the collection, stood up and said, if it was said that when he was in Erfeng Mountain, Wen Haisheng was still dissatisfied with Chen Yan taking over Erfeng Mountain.

But now it won't, Chen Yan led everyone to sweep through several counties in a short period of time, and successfully hibernated him.

Chen Yan nodded.

"Where's the granary?"

"More than 700 stones of grain seized from the granary have been dispersed to help the people in the city."

"How many big families are in the city?"

Chen Yan asked tentatively.

"We're already collecting their misdeeds, and as long as we have enough evidence, then we can do it."

Zhao Qian said, Chen Yan glanced at Zhou Su beside him, and Zhou Su nodded imperceptibly.

Signaling that Jinyiwei is also checking!

Chen Yan was very satisfied, he knew that the real fat sheep was definitely not the treasury of the government, but those big families.

As long as a few large households can be copied, the problem of military spending for the captive army can be relaxed for a while, and more soldiers can be recruited.

"Since we have no financial problems, let's recruit more soldiers, and the iron mine and weapon workshops should also recruit more people to improve efficiency."

Chen Yan said that they had just robbed the New Year's coin given to Xixia by the Great Song Dynasty and attacked Anping County, so there should be no shortage of finances.

Everyone went to their own errands, but Chen Yan realized that the system of the Dang Capture Army needed to be changed.

At present, the system of the army is very problematic, and the military and government affairs are mixed, although there seems to be no problem for the time being.

But when it comes, it's all a hidden danger!

Administrative efficiency dragged on, and the military became involved in political ......

It's all big questions!

Therefore, Chen Yan should take advantage of the fact that the problem is not big now, and start to change in advance!

First of all, the first principle is the separation of military and political affairs, and in any case, there must be a clear demarcation between the civilian and military forces.

No one should cross the line.

Otherwise, it is easy for military attachés to interfere in politics by virtue of their military power, as well as the division of Panzhen, or civilian officials to command the war remotely, and laymen to command insiders.

Chen Yan divided the entire military system into three, one administrative, two military, and three supervising.

The administrative structure is set up as a cabinet, with the cabinet chief and deputy prime ministers.

Your Excellency is divided into five departments: officials, rites, punishments, households, and workers, and subdivides the power!

That is, the cabinet and the six-ministry system during the Ming Dynasty were just the removal of the military department, completely cutting off the possibility of civilian command and control of the army.

The military structure is the Privy Council, which has a chair and deputy privy councillors.

It consists of five departments: military intelligence, logistics, staff officers, conscription, and military law.

The Department of Military Intelligence is responsible for collating military intelligence, espionage, assassination, counter-assassination, etc.

The logistics department manages the upgrading of military equipment, the design of new weapons, the elimination of old weapons, army logistics, grain transfer, civilian recruitment, and military quartermaster management.

In fact, the general staff department is responsible for planning the grand strategic deployment, the course of the war, and the department that directs the battle.

Chen Yan didn't believe that there were so many peerless generals in this world, but he could set up a staff department and gather everyone's wisdom to command the army, after all, three stinkers still had one Zhuge Liang.
