After decades of the Yuan court, the officials of the local government offices have long become indifferent to the people's livelihood. Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin are relatively responsible and able to do practical things. Yu Zhilong can retain and reuse them, and they also see this.

What made these pseudo-Yuan officials unbearable for a while was that compared with the decline of the Yuan court's atmosphere, Yu Zhilong was obviously much stricter with them.

Yu Zhilong not only clarified the responsibilities of officials at all levels, such as supervisors, officials, officials, menzi, etc., but also refined the data statistics and assessment with reference to later generations, such as the time and frequency of county Yin and other counties, how many villages have been inquired, who has been inquired, township customs, people's livelihood, and price geometry, etc., all need to be sorted out and recorded by the county people one by one, and handed over to the higher authorities for evaluation after the county.

The reports of the chief officials of each government office and the evaluation of their superiors must be personally selected and verified by Yu Zhilong, including Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin; Since the acquisition of Yishui and other cities, the selection and allocation, appointment, assessment and other workloads of officials at all levels have increased rapidly, and Yu Zhilong has not been able to pretend to others for a while, so he has to take care of the selection and assessment of the backbone of government affairs day and night while handling military affairs.

With the continuous expansion of the administrative area, the preparation of the general administration of the people will have to be put on the agenda. Yu Zhilong began to think about the future governance structure.

The appearance of the government office today is very different from that of a year ago. Nearly half of the puppet Yuan officials were replaced, and at the same time, many new people were added, including many Jing'an soldiers and hundreds of households who were disabled after the battle. These people are the most supportive of Zhilong because of their background.

In addition, Yu Zhilong also appointed Tian Lie as a local student this time. Let him vigorously supervise the county school. In order to solve the dilemma that most people are poor and have no financial resources to send their children to school, Yu Zhilong specially instructed Fang Xue to allocate hundreds of stone rice grains every month in the official warehouse for students, lecturers, and professors.

This series of activities such as revitalizing agriculture, cultivating famine, persuading students, arresting thieves, and building roads have been impressive. If Yu Zhilong is not born as a thief, if he is in the annual examination of the Great Yuan Imperial Court, he will definitely be able to be assessed as excellent. On the contrary, the high-ranking officials and nobles who boasted of the righteousness of the imperial court have embezzled the national wealth for personal gain, which is tantamount to national thieves and giants.

When Xie Lin and Cheng Shilin and other old officials chatted privately in their spare time, they couldn't help but feel ridiculous whenever they talked about this.

If this is the case in Linqu, Yishui, Juxian and other places are also implemented in this way. This is a good deed, and it is highly respected by Xie Lin, Fang Xue, Jin Yan, Kong Ying, etc.

When the news spread to the localities, both rich and poor, the Jing'an Army was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. The former Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi opened positions to help the poor and punished local unscrupulous officials and bullies, which has won the hearts of the people. This time, the local area was quickly stabilized.

Later, it was rumored that the Jing'an army wanted to thoroughly measure the acres of each family's land, liquidate the lamb's interest, subsidize the associations and reclaim the wasteland, and at the same time widely resettle the local displaced people, or divide the fields and form associations, or select young and strong workers. Many people who have migrated abroad have heard the news of their hometowns and have helped the old and the young to return to their hometowns. Even some displaced people from other places who were displaced abroad were suspicious when they learned of this, and they went to the areas controlled by the Jing'an Army one after another to beg for food.

Although the Yidu Road Yuan Court had already intercepted it, because the blockade line was broken, it was difficult to contain it at this time.

If there are dissatisfaction with Zhilong, it is mainly the local clans and giants, who have already controlled a large amount of land and hidden a large amount of fertile land, and even enslaved countless people and hidden households. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and the Jing'an Army is thriving, and these big clan giants have to endure it for the time being.

Why doesn't Yu Zhilong know? However, what the Jing'an Army urgently needs at this time is the enthusiastic support of the people in various places, and these big families are the targets of his step-by-step attack.

Unlike previous rulers, the local people, especially the merchants, clearly felt the importance that the Jing'an Army attached to merchants, hawkers, and artisans. Since the victory of Linqu to relieve the siege, Yu Zhilong has issued a decree, strictly re-arranging checkpoints in various places, except for several prefectures and counties to continue to retain the card tax collection, that is, the city gate card, generally also canceled the tax collection officials set up in the past, and the Kash thing is drawn according to thirty draws. Vendors from all over the country are allowed to carry commercial goods, firewood, grass, vegetables and vegetables to enter and exit freely, and hawkers in urban and rural markets set up stalls at designated locations, except for a small amount of sanitation management fees, all other apportionments will be abolished.

With less tax on customs clearance and setting up stalls, the profits from trading will naturally be higher, and not only small merchants and hawkers, but also wealthy businessmen who are engaged in business will also be gratified, which has greatly offset the Jing'an Army's disgust at the re-examination and accounting of their household assets.

The hawkers' hard-earned income may only be a few pennies in a day's work, but they are already poor, and this money accumulates over time, and at the end of the month, it may be 100 cents, enough to buy a few more cooking cakes or half a bag of sorghum, and the family can relieve a few hungry meals.

Wealthy businessmen are making money every day, and the Jing'an Army can save them circulation costs by doing so, or there may be no less than 100 taels or 1,000 taels per month.

After the chaos, there is great governance, and people's minds are determined. There were significantly fewer bandits and robbers in the Jing'an army area, the trade routes were quiet, and the caravans were convenient and safe, greatly reducing the risks. In addition to the landlords who simply ate the land rent, all the wealthy households who had trade routes benefited a lot. Where to go, businessmen have their own choices in their hearts.

Yu Zhilong's approach is to encourage business and encourage the circulation of goods, but businessmen must pay taxes truthfully. Anyone who evades taxes will be fined at least three times after being caught, and if he is caught repeatedly, he will be detained, his family assets confiscated, and even imprisoned.

After the artisan households are deregistered, they are allowed to work as craftsmen and buy and sell freely, because the income from the craftsmen is larger, and the government taxes are drawn from their revenues according to 1 fifteen, and on the whole, the enthusiasm of all kinds of local craftsmen is not inferior to that of cultivators.

Most of the cultivators in the villages around the country have their own cultivated land or farm tools, pack horses, ploughing cattle, etc., although many of them are in the nature of government loans, but for the peasant households finally have the capital to produce and work, and there is hope for the future; Moreover, the Jing'an army repeatedly promised in the document that the annual tax will be implemented according to the 30 draws of the harvest in the next year, and the 25 draws will be 1 in the future, and the proportion of payment in the future will be controlled within 20 percent of the harvest per acre, which also includes all kinds of government labor and other components that farmers need to convert, that is, no matter how good the harvest is, at most only 20 percent of the annual harvest needs to be paid. In the event of a disaster, the government will assess the damage and reduce the amount of tax paid as appropriate.

The extraction of land rent is also delineated according to the merits and disadvantages of the acres of land, temporarily divided into five grades, and based on the actual number of cultivated fields. All of the past hidden fields have been canceled. If there is a person who conceals it and does not report it, the hidden land belongs to whoever cultivates it, and after it is discovered, the land is changed to the cultivator without compensation, and at the same time, the landlord also has to bear the investigation of the official office, and according to the amount of hidden land, he will receive criminal imprisonment, fines, dismissal of official positions, cancellation of meritorious name and other crimes. The most serious case can be sentenced to confiscation of family property, and the family will be convicted!

As a result, the hidden fields in the areas occupied by the Jing'an army were re-registered, calculated, and demarcated almost overnight.

On the whole, in Yu Zhilong's administration, the most preferential recipients were cultivators, artisan households, small merchants, small landlords, etc., and the big landlords and wealthy families suffered heavy losses this time because of the previous hidden fields, hidden households, and omission to pay taxes.

Thanks to the fact that the Yuan army from all over the country was transferred to the Jianghuai battlefield to fight Zhang Shicheng in the early stage, most of the elite garrisons in the abdomen and the Western Regions were transferred, and the Yuan army in the east of Yidu Road was not strong at this time, especially in Jiaozhou, Dengzhou and other places.

The Jing'an army went all the way, and most of the Yuan troops in large towns and counties fled when they heard the wind, or surrendered to the wind. The Jing'an army that was moving forward was full of ease, and the new soldiers didn't feel anything, while the old soldiers were camping or resting halfway to recall and talk about the embarrassment of running around for their lives.

"Come on, beat the marching drums, and the drums will sing and sing with them!" On this day, Yu Zhilong saw that the sergeants of the various departments were in good spirits, and now the winter wind was gusting, blowing chills on people's bodies, the noise on the march was tasteless, and the surrounding sentinels were also invincible, so he simply took advantage of this to make the troops sing and march to boost morale.

Qu Bo excitedly and loudly received the order, and sent the No. 35 commander to gallop back and forth to give the order. He learned some military songs of the Jing'an Army in Linqu, and since then he has been fascinated, and after being incorporated into the Jing'an Army, he immediately ordered the department to sing and recite them, and soon, the military songs of the Jing'an Army spread all over Wan Jinhai, Liu Zhengfeng, Xia Houen and other departments. The sergeants of the various divisions are also favorite.

Yu Zhilong had the intention to win over Qu Bo, and this time he sent out the division, and specially ordered Qu Bo to be the Chinese army.

The small drum beat began to be played by the Chinese army, and then followed by the front army and the rear army.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

The soldiers of all departments sang in unison, the pace was more neat, the original chill on the body gradually forgotten, Yu Zhilong and Qu Bo, Kong Ying and others sang softly on the horse, remembering that the Great Qin army was invincible, the iron blood crisscrossed the Central Plains, Jianghuai, and set up a great cause of Kyushu could not help but gradually boil with enthusiasm.

Sing it again, and sing it again.

"Batch iron armor, carry a long knife. The battle with the son is long.

Fight with the enemy, die and live together. Fight with your son, and your heart will not be slack.

Step on the swallow and chase the beard. Fight with the son, and sing fearlessly. ”

This is a military song of the Han Dynasty. It was singing this song that the Han army went out of the fortress for 3,000 miles, inflicted heavy losses on the Northern Xiongnu, and was so frightened that Shan Yu fled overnight. Since then, there have been four more words in Chinese idioms: "Le Shi Yanran". Le Shi Yanran is also the same as Feng Wolf Juxu, and has become the achievement pursued and aspired by countless soldiers in later generations.

The background of these military songs has long been instructed by Zhilong, telling the sergeants one by one, and now the goal of the Jing'an Army is almost the same as that of the original Han Army, although these new soldiers joined the army mainly to survive, and there is no lofty ambition, but Yu Zhilong has begun to pay attention to guiding the thoughts of sergeants and generals at all levels in the army, especially these generals under his command, and often comment on historical allusions and cases of battlefield conquest with them in their spare time.

Since ancient times, men have been hot-blooded, and many warriors in the army have the ambition to make meritorious deeds. In addition to winning money and military merits, who doesn't want to be famous all over the world and remembered by future generations?

The soldiers listened with relish, and these living stories were much more interesting than those of miscellaneous dwellings and storytelling. After listening to it a lot, everyone is very curious about Zhilong's ability to know these ancient things, and everyone is a character who is running around to fight immediately, how can Yu Zhilong know so much at a young age?

Schelling has solved everyone's confusion. Yu Zhilong studied the "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian" almost every night, and these allusions should have been obtained from the book.

Xie Lin is basically right, although Yu Zhilong has memories of his previous life, but after all, he is not a major in the Department of History, he only knows the general trend of historical events, and most of the details of the era are ominous.

In order to relieve the fatigue of the soldiers, Yu Zhilong simply invited some storytellers who volunteered to join the army and gave them military status, and they did not need to fight, but sang historical and military stories to the soldiers in their spare time, and the main content was Li Guang, Huo Quai, Yang Jiye, Yue Fei and other allusions to serving the country loyally. At the same time, Yu Zhilong also regularly organized generals to organize the analysis and discussion of the gains and losses, causes and effects of past battles, and strive to improve the vision and command ability of these subordinates.

As for the military discipline that required generals at all levels to learn and read Chinese characters in the past, they are still vigorously implemented. It's just that the military is frequent now, and there is too little leisure time, and Yu Zhilong has not been able to organize systematic cultural training for generals and sergeants at all levels, and for the time being, he mainly focuses on simple literacy and reading military orders.

Later generations of famous people said: An army without culture is a stupid army.

The military system of the former Song Dynasty was to promote literature and suppress the military, which led to the complete rigidity and degradation of military thinking, military system, and the quality of the generals, and the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the ignorance and stupidity of the imperial court reached the point of reaching the peak, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not understand the progress and power of contemporary military technology at all, and they were complacent, taking it for granted that they were the superior country of the Celestial Empire, and it was inevitable that they would be beaten backward. Yu Zhilong never wants to follow in the footsteps of others, and now he wants to start little by little, starting with the literacy of soldiers.
