Chapter 7: Maple Camp
It is conceivable that for a long time in the future, the position of the supervisor in the Xu You Group will be extremely high. Wang Shibi vaguely showed a little excited, but he quickly suppressed it, his palms were slightly sweaty, and even his mouth and tongue felt a little dry.
The obsession with power is an innate instinct of men, and this is understandable, but the truly intelligent people will know how to control and use this obsession to achieve ultimate success.
Wang Shibi is the smart man among smart people, so he didn't get carried away, but instantly poured cold water on himself, thinking about the difficulties he was about to face and the problems he had to solve at the moment.
"If Lang Jun uses me, please give me the authority to arbitrarily select supervisors at all levels in each army, but if I fancy the soldiers or team masters, the military masters are not allowed to obstruct them, let alone deliberately make things difficult!"
The establishment of a new institution, first of all, is talent, but talent is a sought-after commodity anywhere, which produces a contradiction, this contradiction Wang Shibi can not reconcile, and can only be ordered by Xu You.
"Good!" Xu You readily agreed, and said: "The military marquis can let you pick people arbitrarily, but you must remember that the Supervision Department is not a place to mess around, and you must be cautious in selecting people." Strong, shrewd, transparent, loyal, these three points are fundamental, and on this basis, you can give preference to those who are literate, young, alone, of little ethnicity and nepotism, and so on, and so on. ”
Only when the body is strong can we charge ahead, be shrewd and transparent, be able to distinguish merits and faults, and be absolutely reliable, so that we can monitor others and not fall into a cage.
This is the foundation of the Supervision Department, and other options are important, but they can be overcome and replaced, but only these three points must not be relaxed, and must be strictly adhered to. Xu You recognized Wang Shibi's character and ability, and the only thing he was worried about was whether he could fully comprehend the functions of the Supervision Department, and he must not end up in the subordinate mansion of someone Xu.
It's not hypocritical to say that the Si Lifu doesn't need it, but that's the responsibility of the winter solstice, the Supervision Department wants to become the anchor of the army, so that this army can initially have its own mind and soul, so that it is possible to grow into what Xu You wants in the iron and blood and the flames of war, so that he has enough strength to do what he wants to do but may not be able to do in this troubled era!
"No!"
Wang Shibi stood up, slowly bent his knees, his eyes showed a rare sincere look, and said: "If you live up to Langjun's high hopes, Shibi is willing to apologize with death!" ”
"Don't talk lightly, I have expectations and confidence in you." Xu You helped him get up and said: "Since ancient times, famous generals have known that rewards and punishments must be clear, and they love soldiers like sons, but famous generals are not common, so I want to use the Supervision Department to turn what famous generals can do into enforceable laws, so that everyone can be a famous general." You have such a heavy responsibility, let it go, don't worry about anything, I will take care of the rest for you! ”
The Inspectorate may seem to be in a high position, but it is actually an errand that offends people. The first to offend the officers at all levels, and then to offend the people who were nominated for promotion but vetoed by the Supervision Department, and more likely to offend those soldiers who were punished by military law, but they can win the trust and love of the grassroots soldiers. This is the way to balance, although the chief officials cannot raise private soldiers and enrich themselves, and the Supervision Department cannot hold the authority into a big tail.
He Wei's high evaluation lies in this.
Lu Bozhi was also sincerely happy for this old friend, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will have to be taken care of by the inspector." ”
Wang Shibi rolled his eyes and said, "From now on, my six relatives will not be recognized, Brother Lu will not have to make friends!" ”
Everyone laughed, and Xu You said to Lu Bozhi: "Your burden doesn't have to be light...... In view of the fact that the cultivation of land has seriously affected the normal training, I am going to set up a new battalion in Fenghu, and all the displaced people except for the more than 3,000 elite soldiers will be stationed in it, mainly responsible for the battle of reclamation of Tuntian, and prepare meals, pulp laundry, sewing armor, wiping equipment, etc. for the Cuiyu battalion, so as to free these soldiers from busy farm work and trivial internal affairs, and concentrate all their energy and mind on practicing battlefield skills and warfare. ”
At the beginning, the imperial court rewarded three lakes and two mountains, the two mountains were Mingyu Mountain and Xuanshuang Mountain, and the three lakes were Cuiyu Lake, Feng Lake and Qingtang Lake. Cuiyu Lake is named because the lake water is feather-shaped, green like spring grass. The two sides of the maple lake are planted with maple trees, the legend is that the Yellow Emperor killed the Chi You, the blade was stained with blood, washed in this lake, and the blood water turned into a maple tree with frost leaves red in February, which has been propagated to this day. Qingtang Lake comes from a poignant love story, Qingtang also has a name called Acacia Tree, the canopy is open, the branches and leaves are swaying, and it has always been regarded as auspicious. Originally, there was never an acacia tree around this lake, until a pair of young men and women in Qiantang were trapped by love, and they met to die in the lake, and then somehow, a tree grew on the east bank of the lake, so it was called Qingtang Lake.
Among the three lakes, Cuiyu Lake is the largest, followed by Qingtang Lake, and Fenghu Lake is the smallest. Just because Fenghu Lake is next to Xuanshuang Mountain, the terrain is flat, it has the conditions for building a camp, and according to the mountain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Xu You will set up a new camp here.
"However, Fengying is not a place to support labor, regardless of men, women, old and children, all are envious soldiers, and can receive one-fifth of the salary of the Cuiyu Camp. At the same time, it is also necessary to formulate the method of teaching and reading, select the brave people inside to practice regularly, and the intensity of the drill can be slightly reduced by one level with reference to the Cuiyu Battalion, as long as the drill is outstanding, you can make up the Cuiyu Battalion as a regular soldier, and receive five times higher wages and other more remuneration than in the Maple Battalion. ”
This is the reserve system conceived by Xu You, of course, this is not an uncommon invention, "Zhou Li" records that "all those who start apprenticeship, do not have to live alone, and envy the rest", which is the prototype of the ancient reserve system.
The so-called envy is the reserve army.
With a meager and almost incalculable salary, he undertook all the chores, and in addition to his work, he had to undergo rigorous military training, and then transfused blood for the main army. It seems miserable, but in fact, many displaced people who do not want to join the army rush to it, because at least they have a house to live in, food to eat, and money to earn, and they do not have to be displaced, let alone risk their lives to go to war.
It is precisely because of this buffer that they go to their fears, and after systematic training and brainwashing, there will always be people who want to mix better, so they struggle to go to the regular army. And those who are wounded and disabled in the regular army or have lost their combat effectiveness for various reasons can also return to the reserve army to become teachers with experience, and they can also do some chores to exert their spare energy.
In this way, a virtuous circle is formed!
From a sociological point of view, only the system that can perfectly realize the class circulation from low to high and from high to low is the best system, otherwise, some people will be trapped in some specific identities, such as various military households, artisan households, etc., or in many years, the superstructure without mobility will begin to corrupt, and the substructure will begin to be dissatisfied, so the society will gradually become turbulent and unstable, and it will be divided for a long time, which is the truth.
Xu You used the method of dividing battalions to distinguish between regular soldiers and envy soldiers, thus constructing an extremely simple way of class mobility in the army, and then using the Supervision Department to control a more refined and guided vertical flow in the regular soldiers, maintaining the vitality and creativity of the entire army.
Dividing the battalion is to set up a safety valve, which can not only make the best use of talents, but also reduce class conflicts, and provide a steady stream of soldiers!
"The Feng battalion is handed over to you in charge, mainly focusing on two points, one is to accumulate and the other is to train the troops. It is the first priority of military affairs to accumulate grain and grass, to gather wealth and goods, and to protect the baggage, and if you don't have a suitable person in your hands, I will first send you an assistant to do so, which can get twice the result with half the effort. Xu You shouted outside the door: "Ji Qinghe! ”
Ji Qinghe, who was waiting outside the door, hurriedly came in, stood with his hands tied after saluting, he ran east and west with the fleet all these years, and was responsible for the finances of Mingyushan, and finally came out, dressed in a green shirt, with a calm temperament, eyes like a torch, a smile at the corners of his lips, and a lean taste all over his body.
Xu You pointed at him and said with a smile: "This Ji Langjun has followed me for many years, and he has some talent, and he has only learned a little bit about the art of accumulation. ”
Lu Bo was open-minded, and he would not think that Xu You deliberately installed cronies to monitor, but greeted Ji Qinghe enthusiastically. Both of them are trained in the business field, and they are very familiar with each other.
Xu You smiled and looked at their relationship, and said, "As for the training, it will be assisted by Han Baoqing." You have already seen him in the Cuiyu Camp before, he was personally trained by Qi Xiao, I have tried him, he is a general, it is really useless to nest in Pansnake Mountain for so many years. ”
Lu Bozhi hesitated: "Han Baoqing may not be willing to condescend to ......"
Xu You waved his hand and said, "Obedience is the first duty of a soldier!" I know that Han Baoqing wants to stay in the Cuiyu Battalion, and maybe he will want to be a pioneer when he fights in the future, but the training of the Feng Battalion is equally important, and I can really rest assured when Han Baoqing comes. You don't have to worry about him, I'll try to convince him, if you can figure it out, you have to come, and if you can't figure it out, you have to come. Bozhi, what you need to consider is to dispatch in the middle, to coordinate the overall situation, to grasp with both hands, and to be hard with both hands, so that the entire Feng Battalion can become the blood and source of the whole army. One day the Feng Camp will not fall, and the Cui Yu Camp will always be there! ”
Lu Bozhi stroked his long hair in a chic manner, and said with a smile: "Lang Jun rest assured, although I am not Xiao He, I can also turn Fengying into a small guanzhong, if you want people, you want food, there is no other word!" ”
"Good!" Xu You was overjoyed and said, "You are the master of the Feng camp, and I will first grant you the position of captain of the branch, which is the same rank as Zuo Yan." Han Baoqing is the left captain, and Ji Qinghe is the right captain. Of course, unlike Zuo Yan, this is just a private grant from us, for the convenience of doing things in peacetime, the official appointment of the imperial court does not need to be considered for the time being, and when the wind rises, how can a mere lieutenant become an army? Naturally, the tide will rise, and then the appointment will be. Bozhi, what are the difficulties? ”
Since he joined the gang, he understood that he was doing the great cause of counterinsurgency and would not be entangled in the gains and losses of temporary interests, Lu Bozhi immediately put into the role, and said: "The most urgent difficulty to solve is the shortage of cattle and livestock, which consumes manpower in vain, and reaps twice the result with half the effort." But the cattle that can be purchased around Qiantang have been bought, and the others are owned by the Shi clan with various surnames, they won't sell them, and we can't go to people's homes to rob them? ”
"It's easy!" Xu You said with a smile: "I'll go to see Zu Yu later, and overnight, I can solve this problem of yours!" ”
