Chapter 578: Officer and Military Ranks

Yield is a problem, the variety of crops is also a problem, even the varieties of crops that can be planted in the territory of the Xia Kingdom with the new route area have been tried to be planted by the Xia Kingdom, and then select the crops suitable for planting, expand the planting scale, staple food, vegetables must also be available.

But there is one kind of crop that Su Yan is most eager to get now, sugarcane, if he can get sugarcane, Xia Guo can produce sugar on a large scale, and now Xia Guo only has maltose.

Territory

There is nothing to say in the territory chapter, the territory of the Xia Kingdom is less than the sphere of influence of the Xia Kingdom, mainly because the Xia Kingdom is constantly fighting against foreign countries, and there are no other tribes within a seven-day journey outside the city.

However, the sphere of influence cannot be regarded as the territory of the Xia Kingdom, the cities at the end of the four directions of the Xia Kingdom are at most a day's distance away, and then connected by a straight line, which is the approximate territory of the Xia Kingdom, and most of the Xia people will only operate within this range, and rarely stay away from this range.

From twenty-one cities five years ago to forty-one cities today, the number has almost doubled, and the increase in the territory of the Xia Kingdom can be imagined.

In fact, the size of the territory is not the most important thing for the Xia Kingdom, the most important thing is the population, the more the population, the larger the territory, the small population but occupy a large area of territory, just the communication between the cities needs to waste a lot of time.

Su Yan thought about it for a while, and set two goals for the territory of Xia in the "Second Five-Year Development Plan of Xia Kingdom", the first goal is to give priority to connecting the Xia Kingdom and the storage city area, that is, from the storage city area to the westernmost city of the Xia Kingdom, connect with multiple cities, and the distance between the two cities should not be too far.

The second goal is to build at least five cities per year in the Population section.

In fact, there is a third goal, which is the county system.

This year, Li Suyan has completed the formulation of the county and town system plan, which will be implemented next year.

The forty-one cities of the Xia Kingdom were initially divided into seven counties, and the names of the counties were not set up separately, but the names of the county seats were directly used.

The seven counties are:

Zhongjing County, with Zhongjing City as the county seat, has a total of six towns under its jurisdiction, including two cities far away from the Yellow River;

Located in the north of Zhongjing County, Yuanxian County with Yuancheng as the county seat, under the jurisdiction of three towns;

Located in the east of Zhongjing County, Li County, with Licheng as the county seat, has seven towns under its jurisdiction;

Located in the east of Li County, with Lucheng as the county seat, Luxian County has five towns under its jurisdiction;

Located in the west of Zhongjing County, Wenxian County has six towns under its jurisdiction with Wencheng as the county seat

Luoxian County, located in the west of Wenxian County, with Luocheng as the county seat, has five towns under its jurisdiction

Located in the west of Luoxian County, far away from the Xia country, Chu County takes Chucheng as the county seat, and has two towns under its jurisdiction.

In this way, the forty-one cities of the Xia Kingdom will be divided into one royal city, six county seats, and thirty-four towns according to the hierarchy, and the scale of the towns will remain unchanged for the time being, and the royal city and each county town will be expanded one after another, so that it can accommodate more people, as the center of a country and a county.

In addition, the title of the city lord must also be changed, the city lord of the town is the mayor, the county lord is the county magistrate, the capital lord is also the county magistrate, and only Su Yan is the king.

The county and town system came out, and the twelve departments of the Xia Kingdom also had to make some changes, and the branches of the twelve departments located in towns were "departments", and the branches located in county towns were "bureaus", with directors of divisions, directors of bureaus, and ministers of ministries

Taking the household department, the source city, and the Akagi as examples, the source city branch of the household department, and the Akagi branch of the household department, instead of the household bureau and the household office, are very unpleasant, and only by expanding the "household" to two words can it sound better.

The management structure of the Xia Kingdom expanded, and at the same time, Su Yan also formulated an official rank that was not considered a grade.

the first order, the county magistrate of Zhongjing City, the minister of the 12th department;

the second order, the deputy county magistrate of Zhongjing City, the deputy minister of the 12th Department;

the third order, the ordinary county magistrate;

the fourth order, the deputy county magistrate and director of the ordinary county;

Fifth Order, Mayor and Deputy Director;

Sixth order, deputy mayor and director;

7th Rank, Deputy Director;

There are also the eighth and ninth ranks, all of which are smaller officials under the deputy director.

It's just the official system, and the military system.

First Order, Minister of War;

the second order, the deputy minister of the military department;

the third order, the brigade commander, two regiments into one brigade, a total of 1,894 people;

the fourth order, the lieutenant, the two towns are a regiment, a total of nine hundred and forty-six men;

The fifth order, the town guard, five teams for one town, a total of four hundred and seventy-two people;

the sixth order, the captain, two tuns into a team, a total of ninety-four people;

the seventh order, the tun chief, four tithes and one tun, a total of forty-six people;

the eighth order, the chief, two soldiers and one tithe, a total of eleven people;

The ninth order, the captain of the army, is a team of five people, a total of five people.

In fact, there is a deputy tun chief between the chief and the tun chief, the deputy tun chief is seven and a half orders, the deputy captain is six and a half orders, and so on.

At present, the largest individual combat unit in the Xia State is the cavalry unit, which is the size of a regiment, and Su Yan will formally determine the establishment of the cavalry regiment in the next year.

Just like the first army and the second army of the Xia Kingdom before, in fact, they were the size of a regiment, and when they fought against the Japanese tribe camp and the fishing tribe, the two legions were combined, that is, the size of a brigade, and the larger division would not appear in a short time, and when the division appeared, Su Yan would change the army system again.

In addition, it needs to be said that there is some contact between the official system and the military system, after all, the military class of Xia belongs to the military department, but the military promotion system will not follow the official system, but will only follow its own military system.

There are still many places that need to be changed after the implementation of the county and town system in the Xia Kingdom, and the expansion of the county seat is just a one, and the department-level institutions do not need to be changed, but the bureau-level institutions need to be changed, such as the military department, the scale of the county town has expanded, the population has increased, and at the same time, the number of field/war armies and urban defense armies has also increased.

There are many problems, but they can all be solved, after Su Yan and Xia Guo set the list of county magistrates, deputy county magistrates, bureau chiefs, deputy directors, town mayors, deputy town mayors, division chiefs, and deputy directors, the remaining things can be solved in two years at most.

It just so happens that the scale of the Xia Kingdom is not too large, and it is easier to solve it early, and when the scale of the Xia Kingdom is larger, it will be a lot more troublesome to solve, and when the population of the Xia Kingdom reaches more than one million, the counties will be added on the basis of the counties, and then it will be another big change, but this is all ten years later.

Education, Culture, Medicine

The education chapter and the medicine chapter are both developing normally, and there are almost no goals, but it is the culture chapter that makes Su Yan pay more attention.

The dragon language, the dragon language or the current Xia language, Xia culture, the belief in the dragon god, the history of the Xia kingdom and even the myths and legends are the focus of the cultural chapter, which is mainly carried out by the Wu and the disciples of the Wu of the Ministry of Rites.

Everyone who joins the Xia Kingdom must first learn the Xia language and Xia language, and at the same time learn to understand the history of the Xia Kingdom, and finally change their beliefs and become a real Xia Guo person, who has been thoroughly integrated into the Xia Kingdom.

It is not enough for an outsider to join the Xia Kingdom, everything in the Xia Kingdom will feel out of place, and only by assimilating in culture can the feeling of estrangement be eliminated, and it is also a real addition to the Xia Kingdom.

Not only those who joined the Xia Kingdom, Su Yan also attached importance to the education of the underage citizens of the Xia Kingdom, and the status of the history class was greatly improved, and those myths and legends were also counted in the history of the Xia Kingdom, and there were two key "characters" in the history books, one was the belief of the Xia people in the Dragon God, and the other was Su Yan, the founder of the Xia Kingdom.

Su Yan wanted all the people to remember that he had brought all this to them, that he was the king of the Xia Kingdom, that he was respected and loyal by all the people, and that he could not have any betrayal.

As for the education of minors, everyone studied together in the junior school, and all the courses were the same, and when they arrived in the senior school, they would enter the three major colleges of war college, technical college, and management college according to different talents.

In the "First Five-Year Development Plan of Xia Kingdom", the rules of the senior school have become more perfect, such as the War College and the Management College are all according to the needs of Xia Guo to cultivate enough talents, maybe a little less, or a little more, but definitely not too little or too much, and will not cause a waste of personnel.

After the War College and the Management College have received enough students, the remaining students are put into the Technical College, and the Technical College has a limit on the number of students except for individual professional courses, and there is no limit on the number of students in the remaining professional courses.

In addition, students who have just entered the senior academy are still young, and may not be able to see or missee where the student's talent point is.

But in the third and fourth years of high school, I can't change colleges anymore, I am about to graduate, and I will be much later in learning other things, unless I start studying again from the first year of high school, basically no student will choose this one, my peers have graduated, only he is still in school, what a shameful thing.

Taking the cavalry unit as an example, the cavalry unit will be expanded every year, and before that, all adult male nationals of the Xia Kingdom would be auditioned, but in the future, they could only be selected among the students who graduated from the war college, which was a rule.

In the same way, vacancies in the city defense army can only be filled by recent graduates of the war college, more precisely, new graduates of the war college, except for those needed by the cavalry troops, will join the city defense army of each city.

Because of the continuous construction of cities in the Xia Kingdom, there will always be a vacancy in the city defense army, and the recent graduates of the War College will fill this vacancy, and there will not be too little or too much.

The end of culture and education is the last medicine, medicine has always been a key development project of Xia Guo, and it does not need to be included in the development plan at all, it can be said that the number of doctors in Xia is enough to solve the problem of illness of 300,000 citizens in Xia Guo, and even the number of doctors is a little more than a little.

Especially in the army, every soldier will treat his wounds with simple medical skills, and there is a special battlefield medicine course in the senior school, and all students of the war college must take this course.

On the battlefield, only soldiers or enemies can be injured in the place where medical skills can be used, simple injuries can be treated quickly, but serious injuries are almost too late to be treated, even so, Su Yan also plans to equip each tun in the army with a special medical officer, this one should be in the "Second Five-Year Development Plan of the Xia Kingdom".

……

It took half a month for Su Yan to carefully look through the results of Xia Guo's "Xia State's First Five-Year Development Plan", and at the same time made a draft for the "Xia Kingdom's Second Five-Year Development Plan".

The weather is cold in winter, but the natural disasters have passed, and the winter has returned to normal levels, and the people of Xia Country have enough warm clothing, as long as it is not a bad weather with strong winds and heavy snow, everyone will leave their homes and go out to move their bodies.

At this time, the military units of each city also began to organize the four armies of the field/war army, the city defense army, the reserve army, and the youth army to carry out activities, taking the soldiers of the field/war army and the city defense army out to hunt, and organizing the reserve army and the youth army to conduct training.

For other tribes, force is fundamental, Xia State is heavy on martial arts, but it also attaches importance to technological development, and technological development will also greatly increase the force of Xia State.

It is difficult for the hunting teams of the various cities to harvest much every time they go out hunting, and there are very few beasts in the area around the cities of the Xia Kingdom.

After all, a city has more than 6,000 residents, and in the early years, hunting teams were constantly organized to go out hunting, and hunting in winter was a normal action, and in the other three seasons, the soldiers of each city would also take the soldiers out of the city for hunting in the name of training and actual combat.

After years of continuous hunting, there are not many wild beasts in the jungle around the cities, and the speed of wild beast breeding cannot keep up with the speed of hunting teams, and more wild beasts have moved far away because of the strong enemies in this area.

Also, more beasts means fewer people, and more people, fewer beasts, and there are still a lot of beasts living in the jungle farther away from the city.

Many of the cities learned of this, so much so that they moved their chariots and horses and marched along the road that had been carved out until they reached the middle of the two cities, leaving a few men to guard the chariots and horses, and the rest went directly into the jungle to hunt, and in doing so, the hunting caravan gained much more.

The harvest of hunting is not much, fortunately, the Xia country no longer needs to rely on hunting to obtain animal meat, the cavalry troops plundered a large number of cattle, horses and sheep from the grassland, and every household in the Xia country also raises pigs, deer, chickens and other domestic animals.

Food is the staple food, fish and vegetables are almost tied for first place in the dishes, and animal meat is in third place, but as time goes by, fish, vegetables and animal meat will divide the world.

After all, at that time, many cities in the Xia Kingdom were built far away from the river, and there was no way to fish, vegetables could be planted as long as there was land, and livestock could be raised as long as there was land and grain.

Interestingly, it is also beast meat, but the people of Xia still prefer wild beasts that have been hunted back, and even the name of "game" has appeared in Xia Kingdom, and the "status" of beast meat is higher than that of domestic animal meat.
