Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Busy Liaodi

After the autumn harvest, the weather gets cooler.

But the officials and people of the entire Liao region are still busy. Everyone found out that since their own little prince came to Liaodi last year, people have almost no leisure time.

Officials are either recruiting displaced people and relocating refugees, or organizing people to build roads, build reservoirs and canals, especially border officials, and organize people to build castles.

And the men in each village went out to work, and the mothers-in-law of the family were not idle. The women of each village, under the orders of the chief and the village chief, took the cloth issued by the government and made military uniforms, masks, gloves, shoes, etc.

Children over the age of five and under the age of 15 are also ordered by the village chief to go to the village hall at noon every day to receive the task of literacy every half day. And each village is equipped with a teacher, and the salary given is not very high. The teachers are literate in the village, but there is really none, so the lieutenant can be transferred from other villages, and the teachers' salaries are paid by the government.

If the mother-in-law didn't let the dolls go, several village elders in the village would come to the door at night and scold: "The government makes the dolls literate, it's a great thing, you dare to let the dolls not go."

At this time, the men who came back from work at home would glare at their mother-in-law, and then pull out their dolls, slap them, and make amends to the village elders who came to the door.

Be busy, be busy! Anyway, the men went out to work, not like before, there was no sword. Nowadays, men go out to work, and the government gives them money. Aunts and mothers-in-law are busy at home! The government also distributes money according to the items you have completed.

The current government is good enough, and every six months they also send Lang Zhong to the village and take the initiative to see a doctor for the villagers. According to the words of his own little prince, he wants the villagers to check their health, live longer, and make greater contributions to the whole family and even Liaodi.

The people are also a little strange, they were not idle before, but they lacked food and clothing. But after coming from his own little prince, as long as the people of Liaodi who were registered in the register, they could use a small amount of money to buy salt, grain, cloth, etc., which they didn't even think about before.

The common people are simple and reluctant to waste. Although the people who go out now still wear clothes with patches, there are at least two or more pieces of cloth in each house. Now the jar in that house is not full of salt, and the clay jar in that house is not full of grain.

If not, your family is too lazy, and I will report it to the village chief, the village elder, and even the government. According to what his little prince said, he wants you to force labor. Because his own little prince said that lazy people will never be allowed to exist in Liaodi. Didn't you look at the old Wang with one foot in the family next door, who was all going to work on the assembly line, and sat there to work and get money!

This is what happened to his own little prince and marquis a year after coming to Liaodi, a year! No wonder the village elders say that their little prince is the star in the sky and the lower realm, and he is omnipotent. Otherwise, how could he have conjured up so many good things!

Ji Kang, who was in the Junhou Mansion, naturally didn't know what the officials and people thought of him. Because he's busy himself.

At this moment, he is in the auditorium of Xiangping College, in the political discussion class organized by the college, standing on the stage, expressing his views on the economy of the countries under heaven and the Yan country.

Ju Xin, Chen Min and other instructors, as well as students from all the academies, including Shi Kang, Tian Guang, Qingzhu, Qingmei, etc., sat down and listened.

"I divide the economy into a planned economy and a market economy, and I put the economy implemented by my Yan country and other countries into a market economy."

A student named Li Min stood up and asked, "May I ask the university president, what is a planned economy?" What is a market economy? ”

The drama Xin and other teachers in the audience nodded approvingly, and said in their hearts that this question is good. Cough...... Ahem, don't look at us, the old men don't understand!

Ji Kang looked at this student named Li Min and said: "Planned economy is the government organizes people to carry out organized economic activities, such as the planned production and sales of goods and other items, that is, what you do, someone always has to tell you how to do it and how much to do;

And the market economy is like other places in our Yan country, the way of managing the people, that is, let the people pay grain, pay taxes, and labor, and the government usually does not care about what the people do, and is completely laissez-faire and unorganized. ”

In the auditorium, there was a sudden sound of gasping, terrifying! It's so terrifying! The behavior of the government and the people can be divided into such a way.

Ji Kang stretched out two small hands and pressed them, and the auditorium suddenly fell silent.

Ji Kang picked up a clay bowl on the table on the stage, took a sip of water, and continued: "These two economic models, there is no question of which one is good and which is not good, in fact, these two economic models are useful to us. And now, in my opinion, the regions outside of Liaodi belong to the category of market economy, and there is no concept of planning at all.

What we are doing in Liaodi is still dominated by a market economy, and the planned economy is just showing some signs of growth. Here I will talk about commodities, and I also divide them into two kinds, one is in short supply, and the other is in excess of demand.

Now we Liaodi don't think about what supply exceeds demand, we will be in a situation of undersupply in the future and even this life, we Liaodi and even Yan country, and even all the countries in the world. Now it seems to me that there is a shortage of everything, and the salt, cloth, and other things we produce are not at all worrying that no one wants them, and there are people who want as much as they produce.

The production of these things requires our government to establish a plan to unify the limited human, material, and financial resources of our Liaodi, establish industries, and expand the output of these industries. This is the planned ...... that we are advocating to the government and the people in Liaodi."

There was a sudden gasping sound in the audience, and Ji Xin and other teachers all had smiles on their faces, and they suddenly realized. I see! I see! Unified concentration of human, material, and financial resources can accomplish what you wanted to do in the past but could not do.

Childe is so smart, so smart! He deserves to be called by the people as a man in the heavens and stars!

In the south of Xiangping City, a heavily guarded military camp.

Those who know how to equestrian are selected from the armies of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties, and the children of the three thousand Liang families have all been in place, and today Ji Kang went to the barracks to see the newly formed cavalry troops.

Two lieutenants, who were in their early thirties, came forward, knelt on one knee according to the courtesy of the army, and shouted loudly:

"The last general, Liu Sheng."

"The last general, Zuozong."

Then the two of them said loudly in unison: "Meet the prince." ”

Ji Kang got out of the car, stepped forward, helped the two of them up, and said, "The two generals, please get up, excuse me." ”

"No."

Ji Kang, accompanied by lieutenants Liu Sheng and Zuo Zong, came to the big tent of the Chinese army and sat down.

The two asked, "Have all the horses and personnel been in place?" ”

"The Emperor of Qiqi is all in place."

"Good. I heard Bo Wang and General Wang Shi say, you are all cavalry generals in the army, can you tell me how the cavalry fights now? ”

Liu Sheng and Zuo Zong clasped their fists together, bowed down and said: "According to the order of the Marquis of the King, we are now cavalry ......."

When Ji Kang listened to the introduction of the two captains, he already understood the current cavalry battle mode. To put it bluntly, there are two modes, one is bow and arrow shooting, and the other is roundabout stuck points.

Let's talk about bow and arrow attack first, because of the weapon configuration of the cavalry, it is determined that the cavalry in this period can only use the bow and arrow as the main tactic, and can not do gallop shooting (shooting arrows while riding a horse), and finally can only ride a horse, first arrive at a place to stop, open the bow and shoot arrows, and then continue to ride a horse, and then stop, continue to shoot arrows! It's offense. In terms of defense, the cavalry is also like this, mainly bows and arrows, and they are really forced to do so, so they will be hard and fight hard with a bronze short sword!

Let's talk about detours, because the cavalry at this time does not have the ability to break through the infantry formation head-on, nor does it have the ability to encircle and annihilate the infantry phalanx, so it is only possible to make a detour or reach a certain strategic point before the enemy, and then carry out active defensive operations, and even need to dismount and form a phalanx for defense. As for attacking the rations, attacking behind enemy lines is almost the same as roundabout operations, all of which are done with the help of horses' horsepower, and in the actual effect, because your cavalry does not have the ability to attack fortifications, the threat of attacking behind enemy lines is too small! The tactical effect is greatly reduced!

Ji Kang sighed, stood up, and said to the two captains: "Two generals, accompany me to see the warehouse behind the camp, and see the weapons and equipment that are now configured for you!" ”

"No."

Liu Sheng and Zuo Zong, accompanied their own princes, came to several heavily guarded warehouses behind, and the officials in charge of the quartermaster of the warehouses ran over and bowed to Ji Kang: "Visit the princes." ”

"Excuse me, open the warehouse and let the two generals see the equipment that their cavalry is going to equip."

"No."

Looking at the warehouse full of unseen utensils, with the introduction of the quartermaster and a few craftsmen next to him, Liu Sheng and Zuo Zong's eyes widened and widened.

"There are stirrups in this warehouse, which can facilitate the cavalry to get on and off the war horse, and the feet can also be stepped on when walking and doing war, so as to reduce the ...... of the cavalry"

"Ahh The two lieutenants' eyes widened.

"There is a saddle in this warehouse, which allows our cavalry to sit firmly on their horses, so that our cavalry can complete all kinds of combat actions on their horses during war......"

"Ahh The two lieutenants' eyes widened.

"There are horseshoes in this warehouse, and you can put them on the horse's hooves, which is equivalent to putting shoes on the horse, and you are no longer afraid of wearing out the horse's hooves......"

"Ahh The two lieutenants not only stared at the limit, but their mouths were also wide open.

"In this warehouse is armor, these armor are made of the latest materials, not only less than half the weight of the current armor, but more importantly, stronger than the current armor......

"Ahh The eyes of the two captains are red, this is fate on the battlefield!

"In this warehouse are newly developed crossbows, which are designed with the latest technology and can fire arrows farther. And with steel pulleys, it allows soldiers to load and fire arrows without much effort......"

……

Especially at the end, when they saw the remaining warehouses full of shiny sabers and arrows made of steel, as well as helmets with masks made of the latest steel to protect the upper part of their faces, the two lieutenants couldn't hold back anymore and tears flowed from their eyes.

"Prince, these are the artifacts of cavalry!"

Ji Kang smiled: "Two generals, you put on these equipment and try their power!" ”

"No".

……

In the end, Ji Kang said to the two of them, who had already dressed up and tried the cavalry equipment, and still excitedly: "Two generals, can I trust your loyalty?" ”

The two knelt on the ground together and said loudly in unison: "Junhou, please rest assured." At the end, the liver and brain will be smeared on the ground and serve the prince. ”

Ji Kang nodded and said, "These three thousand cavalry will be handed over to the two of you for training, and this will be the sharpest force in my Liaodi." There will be more cavalry in the future, equipped with these weapons and armor. I am sure that the two generals will have a bright future! ”

"Thank you for your trust."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on you!"

……

In the seventh year of King Wucheng, in the middle of the eleventh lunar month, a new cavalry unit was established in Jikang Liaodi.
