After hearing this, Lin Yan expressed great doubts: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you use only 500 people for tens of thousands of people?" ”

Lin Qing argued: "This is what Qiao Gongzi said!" ”

Dongfang Jiao said at this time: "You can not believe my son's words, but I have to believe Qiao Gongzi's words!" ”

Lin Yan immediately agreed: "Madam is right, since it is from the mouth of Qiao Gongzi, I also believe it." ”

Ji Qiao answered: "Since everyone believes it, I'll let it go." But the army had to be formed in secret, and we had just covered up the formation of the army by reforming the agriculture of the fiefdoms. ”

Dongfang Jiao hurriedly agreed: "Qiao Gongzi is thoughtful!" Even though we are a prince and have formed an army of 500 people, the king will not say anything. But one of our martial arts competitions has had a great impact on the DPRK, especially the great enemy of Xuanwu Hou! If you show your sharpness again, you will definitely be attacked. ”

After thinking about the meeting, Ji Qiao arranged it directly: "Since this is the case, I will do the division of labor: Lin Qinggongzi is responsible for the formation of the army; Steward Chen and his wife are in charge of agricultural production; Everything is arranged by me. ”

Lin Yan was a little unhappy: "Why do I have nothing to do?" ”

Ji Qiao explained: "Hou Ye must be the same as before, and no one can detect that we are doing big things. Especially now that the Hou Mansion has made a lot of money, it is best for the Hou Ye to behave like an upstart. ”

Lin Yan nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Ji Qiao continued: "There are more than 4,000 people in our territory, and a large part of them are slaves, and these slaves will be conscripted first. Those who joined the army were given the freedom of their families, made them peasants, given land, and promoted through meritorious service. ”

At that time, the country implemented the system of state and wilderness, and the countrymen were soldiers, and the savages were not soldiers. The territory of the country is divided into several different groups of regions, such as yi, suburban, herding, wild, forest, and kun, from the inside to the outside, and the first three categories belong to the countrymen, and the last three categories belong to the savages.

Most of the savages were slaves, with a fairly low status, belonging to the ruled class, and only qualified to perform hard labor and miscellaneous labor.

Slaves cannot be soldiers, cannot participate in politics, have no channels for ascension, and are destined at birth.

But Ji Qiao believes that they are also eager to make achievements and change their fate, so when the opportunity arises, everyone will definitely not let it go.

Ji Qiao came up with a set of slave reform plans and a set of troop formation plans.

The slave reform program was based on Shang Ying's.

The troop formation plan was based on the Wei Wushu of the Wei State, and then it was optimized.

Ji Qiao handed over the slave reform plan to Steward Chen, put him in charge, and conducted conscription.

The troop formation plan was handed over to Lin Qing and asked him to train the soldiers, with seven main contents:

1. The equipment should be very luxurious, and when fighting, each person should wear heavy armor and iron helmets, carry 60-80 crossbow arrows on his back, hold a halberd in his hand, and a long sword pinned to his waist.

Second, the ability to move is particularly strong, the marching speed should be fast, and the endurance should be very good, and the horses should be the best.

3. Everyone must learn a strong ability to survive in the wild and understand basic medical knowledge.

Fourth, the discipline of this unit must be specially formulated and strictly observed by everyone, and nothing should be done without permission.

5. Anyone who serves in this team for one year will be exempted from taxes for five years, and so on, and will be rewarded with a certain amount of money every month.

6. For those who died as a result of the war, their parents, wives and children, the Hou Mansion must send people to visit them every year and give them a certain amount of property.

7. In order to cultivate the sense of honor of the soldiers, at each celebration party, those who have made great contributions should sit in the front position, and let them use tableware made of gold, and all kinds of meat; The one who has made a little merit sits in the middle; And those who do not have merit can only sit in the back.

At the same time, Ji Qiao also organized special personnel to reform iron-smelting technology, combined with his own modern knowledge, to create indestructible weapons and equipment.

......

After a brief look at it, the surprised expressions of several people were indescribable!

Dongfang Jiao asked directly: "Young Master Qiao, when did you get these things?" Where do you get this knowledge? ”

Ji Qiao said with a smile: "It's all about the time of the martial arts competition, and I think about it every night." ”

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief.

Ji Qiao sighed: "Alas, you can't help it if you don't believe me!" But these things, take a closer look at them today, and start doing things tomorrow. ”

......

At this time, Lin Shi and Ji Ling were on their way back.

Lin Shiba stammered: "Sister Ling, you have so much gold, you can't spend it in your life, why don't you give me some." I don't ask for much, a hundred taels is enough. ”

Ji Lingqi said: "Multiple farts! I'll be five hundred taels, and the rest will be confiscated by Ji Qiao, you have to go to him. ”

Lin Shi replied: "Ji Qiao will be handed over to my mother, my mother will not agree to it if she is so picky." ”

Ji Ling said loudly: "I'm more picky than your mother!" ”

Lin Shi scolded: "Stingy ghost! ”

Ji Ling smiled again: "If you listen to me in the future and call me sister when you go out, I will give you two taels of gold every month." ”

"Okay." Lin Shi agreed without hesitation.

......

When the two returned home, Ji Ling actually asked Ji Qiao to hide from him, and secretly moved his more than 1,900 taels of gold into his room.

Lin Shi is also very cooperative.

Dongfang Jiao and Steward Chen didn't bother to say anything, this gold originally belonged to Ji Ling, and they didn't plan to ask for it at all, not to mention that Ji Qiao also helped Houfu earn a lot.

So everyone hid it from Ji Qiao.

......

Ji Qiao began to reform agricultural production.

First of all, the production tools were reformed, and the forging technicians were asked to create some sickles, hoes, iron plows, axes, wood knives, hammers and other tools.

Then let Steward Chen bring some people, and then go to the suburbs to find a wasteland, and teach everyone how to use these farm tools.

When Ji Qiao used oxen to plough, he used oxen to plough the ground with an iron plow.

The people gathered around to see it, and they thought it was so fresh! And the efficiency of arable land is many times higher!

Ji Qiao was also curious, these people had been farming for a long time, and they didn't know about cattle farming.

But if you think about it carefully, it is recorded in the history books that ox farming seems to have been used after 400 BC, and then slowly became popular.

Could it be that this technology was brought by itself?

At this time, the people became interested in cattle farming, and they were eager to try it!

Ji Qiao asked everyone to operate it.

In the end, Dongfang Jiao is also energetic! Holding the plough with one hand and the ox rope with the other, he shouted, and the ox immediately pulled the iron plough and quickly turned over the ground.

I can't help but feel refreshed! The efficiency of this cultivated land is too high, and the shouting is getting louder and louder.

Ji Qiao also organized people to reclaim wasteland on a large scale, rationally develop and utilize production water sources, and taught everyone how to guide the flow of water to irrigate fields and dig canals.

......

After a few busy days, Ji Qiao said to Mrs. Dongfang and Steward Chen: "I have written the relevant technical introductions, and now there are still a few months before next year's spring ploughing, you let people reclaim wasteland on a large scale, and I will organize people to build a large number of agricultural production tools." Grain production is guaranteed to more than fivefold next year!

In fact, this rice can be planted for two seasons, but I don't want to be too prominent and cause people to pay attention. ”

Steward Chen was a little unconvinced: "Can this rice be planted twice a year?" ”

Ji Qiao patted his chest: "Absolutely, just master the time and technology." ”

Dongfang Jiao now believes that no matter what Ji Qiao says, she firmly believes it!

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: If it goes on like this, the future of Qiao Gongzi is limitless! Alas! It's just that stupid daughter who doesn't want to make progress and is not worthy of Gongzi Qiao.
