In the eighth year of King Wucheng, on the ninth day of the first month, Xiangping City.

Heavy snow fell overnight, leaving the city of Xiangping covered with snow.

In the early morning, the heavy snow finally stopped, and the whole city of Xiangping was noisy as usual, black smoke from coal-burning smoke spewed out from the chimneys of the roofs of every house, and the smell of coke filled the air.

After the people were busy clearing the snow in front of their gates, they walked out of the city to clear the snow on the official roads, just like last year, under the call of the government and the temptation of distributing money.

The secretary's pavilion in the prince's mansion is warm and smoky. In Ji Kang's bedroom behind the pavilion, there is a topographic map of Liaodi and its surroundings hanging on the right side of the wall, and a topographic map of the Seven Kingdoms of the Central Plains hanging on the left.

Shi Dang held the stack of papers that were still yellowing in his hand, and said to Ji Kang excitedly: "Childe, I can finally write on paper, the stack you gave me last time, I didn't dare to use it."

Now it's good, Shi Xiaosong, the director of the paper mill, said that now that it has been finalized and mass-produced, it is not something we can let go. ”

Ji Kang said with a smile: "We can't just think of ourselves, the first batch of papers will be given to the county yamen and Xiangping Academy first.

This is not enough, and besides, the printing house has been built for two months, and it is waiting for this batch of books from the School of Paper and Printing. Rest assured! You can't do without you. ”

"Haha, Childe, you're the best person now!"

Ji Kang looked at Shi Dang's smiling face and teased, "Oh, didn't I use it before. ”

"Good, good. Childe is all right there, as long as I don't steal the treasures of the boss again, it's even better. Last time, I was found by the boss when I came back, and my butt still hurts! ”

Ji Kang laughed.

"The prince of Qiyu, the drama and the doctor of the Ministry of Commerce, Su Qing, came to meet the prince." The voice of an attendant came from the front.

Ji Kang and Shi Kang hurriedly walked out of the back dormitory, and saw Jun Xiangju Xin and Su Qing coming in, sweeping the snow from their bodies.

Ji Kang waved his hand, stopped Ji Xin and Su Qing from visiting, and said, "Didn't I say it earlier?" You don't have to bow when you see me in private, and you don't have to do that in the future. ”

Ju Xin and Su Qing both laughed and said, "Childe, the etiquette cannot be abolished." ”

Ji Kang shook his little head helplessly, and said to the drama: "I didn't expect that just after the New Year, there was such a heavy snowfall, and the houses in the villages outside the city didn't collapse, right?" ”

"Childe, don't worry. In the winter of last year, there were several snowfalls heavier than that, and according to the reports of various counties and counties, there were no collapses of houses.

This is not the time when we first came here the year before last, since last year, we have not to talk about the houses in the resettlement sites, and we must ensure the quality and quantity.

It is an old house, and last year the government also organized people to start renovating it. According to the child's entrustment, the renovation cost was paid by the government in advance, and the people were repaid in ten years.

In this way, the people only need to contribute a small amount of money and food every year. Since the beginning of last year, there have been few cases of collapses due to heavy snowfall. ”

Ji Kang laughed and said to Ji Xin: "That's good, that's good." My mother was still talking in the morning, saying that I don't know how many houses will be destroyed and how many people will die in this heavy snowfall in thistle! I don't know how I am? ”

Then he said to Zou Yan and Lu Zhonglian: "Drama, Su Qing, you two came to see the paper, right?" ”

The two laughed, and Su Qing said: "As soon as I heard the news, I went to Xiangping Academy, pulled the drama that was teaching the students, and ran over together, wanting to see how the shaped paper was?" ”

Ji Kang asked Shi Dare to hand the stereotyped paper to the two people present, and said, "Look at it, this is the stereotyped paper, I wrote a few words just now, and it will no longer penetrate." Now the paper mill is already producing in large quantities. ”

Ji Xin and Su Qing looked at the paper in their hands, and their hands trembled slightly.

Ju Xin said excitedly to Ji Kang: "Childe, the shaped paper this time is whiter than what we saw last time. As Childe said, if it is printed into a book, what a blessing it is for the people of the world! ”

Su Qing said with a smile: "With this paper, the bamboo slips and wooden slips are about to say goodbye." As Childe said, a new era is coming, and our small step is a big step for civilization! ”

Ji Xin laughed even more: "Using this paper to work, we are convenient and concise." Childe, how much does these papers cost? ”

"Drama, reveal the bottom of the three gentlemen. The cost of the paper we use is much lower than the cost of wooden tablets now. Externally, according to Su Qing's words, you are going to make a lot of money. ”

After listening to Ji Kang's words, everyone burst out laughing.

Ji Kang immediately said to the two of them: "Drama Xiang, Su Qing, in order to let the officials of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties know the future principles and policies of Liaodi, I plan to start training officials from various departments and counties in turn at Xiangping Academy this year. The duration of the training is only one month! The time should be arranged, and try to be in the spare time. ”

Ju Xin and Su Qing looked at each other, and both of them said to Ji Kang together: "Yes." ”

Ji Kang said with emotion: "This is also because we have too few talents in Liaodi, so we can only adopt this method." ”

Ji Xin nodded and said to Ji Kang: "Yes! There are too few talents. According to our plan, the first batch of hundreds of students will graduate from Xiangping Academy next year.

After more than two years of study, these hundreds of students have reached the age of seventeen or eighteen, which is just right for them to be enriched into various departments and counties, and we will be able to take a breath next year. ”

As soon as he talked about Xiangping Academy, Ji Kang became excited, and said with a smile in his two big eyes: "Yes! The drama and the faculty members of the academy have really worked hard.

In the drama, next year's batch of graduating students will be arranged to serve as village chiefs in the local area, and those who will go to the army will be arranged to start in the village.

We need to inform the trainees of these problems in advance, so that they can be prepared to endure hardships. Just as the couplet on the gate of the academy says: Please go other ways to get promoted and get rich, and don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and fear of death. ”

After hearing this, both Ju Xin and Su Qing nodded approvingly. Students who graduate from the college start from the grassroots level, and can be promoted as long as they pass the annual assessment, and the promotion speed is much faster than others. However, it can also allow the graduates not to lack grassroots experience, and lay a good foundation for higher positions in the future.

Ju Xin then picked up the silk silk on the table, handed it to Ji Kangdao, and said: "Childe, this is the "Interim Regulations on the Compulsory Military System" that you requested, and this is the final manuscript formed after several discussions in various departments such as the Military Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households of the Prince's Mansion according to your instructions. ”

Ji Kang picked up the silk silk, looked at it carefully, nodded, and said, "Let's temporarily implement this system, and when problems are found in practice, we will correct them in time."

With a population of one million, we are facing considerable military pressure, and we must implement a compulsory military system as a supplement to the regular army in order to cope with large-scale wars in the future.

This system of compulsory conscription should be implemented more quickly, and in the slack season, retired non-commissioned officers or non-commissioned officers on active duty in townships, villages, and villages should serve as instructors and organize young and middle-aged men to drill military formations, and we can call him a "militia."

Every year at the beginning of October, the retired officers and men are asked to retire and go to the localities to arrange for other work, so as to complete the virtuous circle of our Liaodi army and keep the regular army at about 40,000.

By the end of June this year, it is necessary to complete the overall refitting of the regular army, and the weapons that have been eliminated by the army can be distributed to the county, township, village, and village militias for safekeeping and maintenance, and the responsibility lies with the people.

We want to keep a low profile, but also just in case. In the event of a large-scale war in the future, we will ensure that at least 200,000 trained militia reservists are between the ages of 15 and 50. In wartime, no less than 100,000 trained reserve militiamen between the ages of 18 and 35 should be dispatched to join the army in battle.

In addition, it is necessary to step up the construction of the contingent of doctors, and in addition to the counties, it is necessary to ensure that all townships and villages have doctors stationed in the army, so that they can go out with the army in wartime. On the basis of the existing foundation, the armed forces should pay more attention to medical care, support and other support work. It is necessary to get a good grasp of formulating a management system for doctors and other professions to ensure the development of our Liaodi. ”

Ji Xin stood up and said, "The old minister obeys the orders of the son. In this Liaodi, Lao Chen can say with certainty that as long as the son is here, it will get better and better.

This is what Gongzi has built with everyone's hands for more than a year after he came to Liaodi. Whoever dares to destroy him and hurt him, we will never agree. ”

Ji Kang waved his hand and said: "Drama, Su Qing, I have long said that this Liao Land is not my Liao Land alone, it is the Liao Land of all people living in this land, this is our common home." ”

Then he stood up, looked out of the house, and said softly: "The people of this era have been bitter enough, and the kid always has a dream, I want to make Liaodi the most desirable place for the people in the world, I only hope that everyone will encourage me." ”

Ji Xin and Su Qing also looked solemn, stood up and said together: "I am willing to encourage my son!" ”
