this day.

Qingshui Town Fort is wrapped in plain clothes.

There was a lot of mourning.

Paper money was piled up on a road from the center of Qingshui Town Fort to Qibao Mountain in the fort.

This hill is located in Shuiyang Village, which has little value, no minerals, no fertile land, but it is better in feng shui, and Lu Yuan will use it as a martyr's cemetery in the future.

At this time, the officers and men of the military system of the mighty army all stopped training and all gathered here to stand.

The officials and people of the civil administration system also gathered, and the old and new people drained the entire Qibao Mountain.

The coffins of hundreds of fallen soldiers of the mighty army are parked on the cemetery square, and they are spread out around the tall stone monument that reads "The heroes of the mighty army are immortal".

This stele is naturally erected to increase the sense of honor of the soldiers of the mighty army, and to unite the hearts of the mighty army and the people.

The inscription and the inscription engraved on the back of the stele were still written by Liu Yuliang, the first assistant invited by Lu Yuan, and they were also put on the table, and no one would dare to tear them down.

The monks who were invited to overdo the fallen soldiers stood on both sides of the stone monument.

There is no way, the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty believe this, and when they saw that Lu Yuan took the initiative to ask the monks to go over for them, they all had more courage to shed their blood for Lu Yuan.

At this time, Lu Yuan stood at the front of the stone steps of the square with the officials of the mighty military and civilian systems, behind them were the soldiers of the mighty army on one side, and the people of Qingshui Townfort on the other.

Regardless of gender, they all wrapped white cloth around their waists and stood solemnly.

The families of the martyrs were invited to the monks and let them weep after they were dressed in linen and filial piety, and there were medical guards on their side to protect them, in case someone looked for a short-term vision or was overly sad and fainted.

At this time, Zhou Gou'er began to read the text written by Shoufu himself.

After the text was read, Zhou Gou'er, who presided over the funeral, shouted: "Please put the martyrs into the ground!" ”

"Remove your armor!"

Lu Yuan shouted.

The sixth baby was busy removing the armor for Lu Yuan.

Then, Lu Yuan walked to the left of the coffin at the front with a single shirt, and placed a large log pole on his waist.

Uncle Fei, Shen Guangzu, Tang Xin, Yuan Changgui and other high-ranking officers of the mighty army all took off their armor and wore single clothes, and carried these coffins together with other strong sergeants.

"Send the brothers on their way!"

Lu Yuan yelled, and everyone else yelled.

Meantime.

One hundred and eight firearms men, neatly lined up in the back, began to shoot into the air.

The roar was like thunder.

The cry was terrible, and the bird mourned and the ape mourned.

The gunfire was intense, and it went straight into the sky.

For a while, the mountains shook, and the birds flew in fright.

Seeing his own official and other chiefs carrying the coffin in person, Tang Ying and other civil governors also bowed their heads in silence. The soldiers of the mighty army were all moved, and when they looked at the tall monument for a while, they felt more and more that even if they were so dead, it was worth it.

Seeing this, the families of the officers and soldiers who died in battle gradually stopped crying and were deeply shocked, and they were greatly relieved at this time, both in terms of interests and spirit.

The ancients attached great importance to the afterlife, otherwise the emperor would not have started to repair the tomb when he ascended the throne.

Now, Lu Yuan also relied on the psychology of the ancients to build this mausoleum for the mighty soldiers, and also set up a special mausoleum guard.

In this way, the soldiers of the mighty army feel that they have the same treatment as princes and nobles.

The mausoleum guards are all wounded veterans, so they will naturally take care of the mausoleums of their comrades-in-arms, and this can be regarded as giving these injured veterans a way out.

Lu Yuan naturally had a higher prestige in the Mighty Army because of this, and even the families behind these Mighty Army soldiers began to support Lu Yuan incomparably.

Because they felt it, Lu Yuan really regarded them as people and heroes.

"Brother Li, you have a good time underground, bless our mighty army to win the battle early, Lord Lu is really kind to us people, I don't know if you know it underground, the coffin was the best one for you, and a monument was erected for you, there is a big monument outside, and the inscription is still written by a big official! You were personally carried up the mountain by Lu Guanye, I don't know what to say, you can bless our Lu Guanye to live a long life, you should bless our Lu Guanye to live 10,000 years. ”

Zhou Laojiu spoke in front of Li Youlai's grave at this time.

"Zhou Laojiu, don't talk nonsense, long live you can say it casually, just know it in your heart, sometimes you fucking talk less lightly than Lao Tzu."

Xiong Zhiyuan said.

"I'm not wrong, besides, I'm not the only one who said this, everyone wants to shout long live the official! What Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng dare to call themselves kings, our official master is so good, is it possible that he can't be an emperor? ”

Zhou Laojiu said.

"You fucking say! You don't know who the current emperor is. ”

Xiong Zhiyuan hit Zhou Laojiu.

"What's so good about the emperor, I didn't know how my family had to add more and more taxes and silver before, but now I understand, it's not just the Liao salary he added, it's like our official master, the public grain collected is lower than before."

Zhou Laojiu said.

"Everyone knows these things, but now the official has not yet reached that time, you say so now, be careful that the official will cut off your head."

Xiong Zhiyuan said.

"The official won't cut me, I'm the most loyal to the official!"

Zhou Laojiu said and left.

……

As soon as the funeral of the fallen soldiers of the mighty army was over, Lu Yuan was about to set off for Pingshan.

At this time, the three bureaus of the mighty army, plus the units under the organs, and some other non-combatants, had been assembled.

And Tang Ying and the other mighty army officials who stayed in Qingshui Town Fort went out ten miles away to see each other.

"The land reform on the side of Qingshui Zhenbao is going to expand to the periphery, Luan Yujie has already said hello there, he will not embarrass you, Yue Changgui I have appointed him as the director of the garrison bureau, which means that his current bureau is under the joint control of you and me, and you are still the chief instructor of the mighty army, if there is an unfavorable situation, you can directly command him to take military measures; When I have established myself on the side of Pingshan, you can come at any time, and you will need to be escorted by a company of soldiers on the way. ”

Lu Yuan instructed Tang Ying.

Tang Ying nodded, brushed the ends of the hair behind his ears back, and then patted Lu Yuan's shirt: "Over there in Pingshan, Lu Lang, you should be more careful." ”

"Don't worry".

After Lu Yuan said that, he got on the horse, and then rode away.

Naturally, there were also members of the Pingshan land reorganization who went to Pingshan to take charge of land reform.

According to the system, Lu Yuan was the military attache of the battalion and did not have the function of tuntian.

The Pingshan battalion that Lu Yuan needed to set up was paid by the imperial court.

But the imperial court's salary was obviously insufficient, so it was impossible for Lu Yuan not to settle the fields.

And the magistrate of Pingshan County naturally didn't care what Lu Yuan did, anyway, because of famine and military disasters, a lot of land in Pingshan County was deserted, and no one cared about it.

However, Lu Yuan still asked Tong Shengyuan, who was literate and hyphenation, to spend money to find the magistrate of Pingshan County and his master, as well as the officials of the household, and turned the ownerless fields in Pingshan County into land under his name.

The county magistrates and the officials were happy to receive the silver, so they turned a blind eye and turned the land deeds of all the ownerless barren fields in Pingshan County into Lu Yuan's.

And if land reform wants to divide the land, naturally there must be people.

The people are ready-made, and before Lu Yuan came to Pingshan, he brought a large number of displaced people from Qingshui Zhenbao here.

When these homeless people saw that there was land to be divided, they also followed.

"Right here, this place is close to the Tuhe River, and there are many barren fields nearby, which is convenient for the development of industry and agriculture.

After Lu Yuan came to the twenty miles north of Pingshan County, he stopped and gave an order.

As a result, the officers and men of the entire battalion of the mighty army began to build camp walls and barracks, and the land reorganization began to divide the land among the displaced people.

Following the model of Shimizu Zhenbao, the land reorganization began to divide the barren land near the entire camp into several production groups.

Every five production groups form a production team, and every five production teams form a production team.

According to the number of male and female laborers and the size of the population of each household, the Yongye field and the mouth land are divided, and the contract agreement for the mouth and the land contract agreement for the Yongye land and the agreement on the payment of public grain for the Yongye land are signed.

Lu Yuan didn't directly say that it was a tax, so it would inevitably be more direct, after all, the imperial court that can be taxed now is still the Ming court.

Therefore, Lu Yuan only said that it was the collection of public grain within his mighty army.

The proportion of public grain levied is not high, but because it is an era of war, and grain is naturally an important strategic resource, Lu Yuan forbade all the owners of the mighty army to sell the grain produced internally.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan let his government-run department stores set up branches in each production brigade to purchase the grain of each production brigade, and at the same time be responsible for collecting public grain, and then selling this grain to the soldiers and civilians within the mighty army at a parity price.

In order to carry out commercial activities and buy other necessities, the soldiers and civilians within the mighty army can only sell grain to department stores, and then come to department stores to get enough food.

Therefore, all the food within the entire mighty army was controlled by Lu Yuan, so that the food could only be consumed and accumulated internally and did not flow out.

"Now I announce the establishment of the militia department, Gu Hesheng as the general system of the militia department, promoted to lieutenant colonel, responsible for the management of the military training of all production groups of the Pingshan battalion, that is to say, all the adult males of the production group of the Pingshan battalion have to carry out military training during the slack time, each production group is organized into each militia corps at the same time, and so on, each production team is organized into a militia team, each production brigade is organized into a militia company, each militia company is formed into a militia bureau, each militia bureau is managed by the militia department, and the director of each production group is also the commander of each militia corps, and so onThe production brigade is the commander of the militia company, and the person in charge of the militia bureau will be appointed by the official at that time, and Gu Hesheng will be responsible for recommending it. ”

Lu Yuan announced this order at the same time as the land reorganization, and he naturally did this to start the strategy of all the soldiers in the Pingshan Battalion, so as to achieve the goal of having well-trained militia to supplement the field troops as soon as there are casualties in the future war, and avoid affecting the combat effectiveness of the entire mighty army, and at the same time, this can also enhance the defense capability of the various production groups under his command, after all, there will definitely be more and more territory in the future, and the main force of regular field operations cannot be in a certain production brigade at any time. Then the entire production brigade will be able to organize its own militia to resist first.

"Yes!"

Gu Hesheng replied, he didn't expect that he would first become the first person to be promoted to lieutenant colonel among the second batch of people who joined the mighty army except for Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu.

But Gu Hesheng knew that this militia department was similar to the previous recruit bureau, which was to train unorganized and undisciplined civilians into soldiers who obeyed orders and commands.

Therefore, Gu Hesheng didn't find it difficult, but he might have to train more soldiers, and he also had to communicate with civil officials on how to complete the training of civilian husbands without affecting farm work.

Night.

Lu Yuan called Gu Hesheng to himself: "Caiyi has estimated that there will be about 5,000 militias that can be organized in the early stage, which means that we still have to have a few officers from the militia bureau, I decided to classify the officers of the militia bureau into the field army officer system, that is to say, the one who serves as the director of the militia bureau must be an officer in the field soldiers of the mighty army, Xiong Zhiyuan is counted as one, but you can't tell him that he is my idea, the others, you push a few more, this is the injured or elderly officer above the team, you go back and see, The results will be given to me by the fifth day of the first month of the next month. It is estimated that the land will have been divided by the time of the land reorganization, and the training of the militia will have to be carried out immediately. ”

"Understood!"

Gu Hesheng replied.

"Recruit training, who do you think can be in charge?"

Lu Yuan asked again.

"Fan Siyuan, the former family member of this person's official master, is very concerned about the loyalty of the recruits to the official master, and the training is also very strict."

Gu He replied.

Lu Yuan remembered that Fan Siyuan was not very bright in the night class, and he was more rigid, this kind of person would be difficult to be a commander in the field army, and it would even make a big mistake, especially because his qualifications were so old, he would definitely have to serve as a senior officer in the future, and it was better to train recruits if he stayed in the field army as a senior officer, and he cared about the loyalty of the recruits to himself, and he was undoubtedly more suitable for training recruits.

As a result, Lu Yuan agreed to promote Fan Siyuan to the head of the Recruit Bureau, responsible for recruiting recruits and training recruits.

As a result, the entire Hirayama camp began to get busy.

A large number of displaced people who followed the mighty army to the Pingshan camp began to own the land.

According to the contract, the fields cultivated by these displaced people do not have to pay public grain in the first year, and only 50% of the contracted public grain in the second year.

Tang Ying, who formulated this civil policy, was formulated on the advice of the old village head who was in charge of the fields in his Tang mansion, in order to take into account the fact that the displaced people had reclaimed the land, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to grow grain in the first year, after all, these fields had been abandoned for a long time, and the fertility and water conservancy conditions were much worse, and the first year's harvest had to prepare the second year's grain seeds.

When Tang Ying first married into the Lu family, the servants who accompanied the room also came to a few rooms, and now they have become the backbone of Tang Ying in managing civil affairs, especially in Tuntian affairs.

After all, the Tang family, as a bureaucratic family, is naturally also a big landlord, and there are still many slaves and stewards in the government who manage the fields.

Now Xiao Renke, the person in charge of the land reorganization of the Pingshan Camp, is Tang Ying's companion, and he was originally going to manage the dowry field given to Tang Ying by the Tang Mansion for Tang Ying, but now he has become the person who came to help Lu Yuan's land reform.

Xiao Renke often managed the tenants and was responsible for distributing the landlord's land to the tenants, so he was also very skilled in the division of the land, so that the abandoned fields in the entire Pingshan County were smoothly and quickly distributed to the displaced people, and these displaced people were officially compiled by Xiao Renke as households.

"Master, this is the newly compiled household registration book and the certificate of land contract agreement and sharing agreement."

Xiao Renke handed a large stack of booklets to Lu Yuan, because he belonged to the family slave who Tang Ying married over, so he called Lu Yuan the master, and Lu Yuan was his head of the family.

"Brother Xiao works hard", Lu Yuan flipped through these books, and asked people to hand them over to the second girl who came with him for auditing.

Although Lu Yuan had to rely on the people of the Tang family to assist him in managing civil affairs, it was impossible for him to fully trust the people of the Tang family, and Erniu, as a member of his Lu family, would naturally be more at ease if he was in charge of auditing.
