Ding Liu said with some sighs.

Then he continued: "In the past few months, it has been hard to ∴ Madame! ”

When Li heard this, he glanced at Ding Liu, but he still nodded, signaling him to rest assured that he would prepare for the exam and that he would do everything well.

At this time in Yanjing City, when the news of Enke spread, there were countless people like Ding Liu, who were so excited that they burst into tears, danced with joy, and shouted with excitement......

In short, Yanjing City is boiling, just like Zheng Wen said, the folk hope for Enke, just like the long-term drought and Ganlin, so urgent!

After that, the news of Enke spread all over Daqian, and the atmosphere among the people became lively all of a sudden, and countless people packed up their burdens and went straight to Yanjing.

And this issue of "Daqian Royal Weekly" was also the most sold, with more than one million copies issued in seven consecutive days, which made Zheng Wen stunned after knowing it.

What's even more interesting is that this issue of the newspaper was published for a whole month, setting a record of more than 3 million copies, and almost every literate person has one copy, and the interesting thing is that this newspaper was actually issued at the same time as the other four issues, and it is amazing that this issue of the newspaper could not be sold!

With the large circulation of this issue of the newspaper, the Daqian Royal Bank also became famous, and the new thing of banking began to take root in Daqian.

……

At this time, Zheng Wen was wearing a black armor stomach and wearing the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, surrounded by all the warriors, watching the drills of the Yulin Army from afar!

Under the illumination of the morning sun, the Yulin Army, which was training, emitted a vigorous vitality, which made people feel excited when they saw it.

No matter when, no matter where, the elite army drill always gives people a sense of vigor and progress, makes people full of self-confidence, makes people always have the motivation to struggle, and also makes people moved!

Great country, great country, elite army, is your backbone! Army, army, you are always the vanguard and backing of the people, with you, there is nothing I can't do!

Zheng Wen looked at the training army, and said to himself silently in his heart, which also strengthened his determination to reorganize the army and arouse his enthusiasm and pride!

In this life, you will conquer the world until you die!

……

Looking at these hot-blooded sons and daughters who were practicing, Zheng Wen said to Li Wei, the general of the Yulin Army who was accompanying him: "Li Wei, can they stand these drills?" ”

Li Wei listened, saluted Zheng Wen, and said loudly in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, our Yulin sergeants and soldiers are the best soldiers, and food and clothing are the first in the Daqian army, and the drill examples of our Yulin Army are also gathered by most of the middle and senior officers of the Yulin Army, and they have listened to the suggestions of the non-commissioned officers and junior officers, discussed many times, and after several revisions, they came up with the most suitable drill examples, and our Yulin Army vows to be the most elite army of Daqian, Your Majesty can rest assured!" ”

Zheng Wen listened, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I have also read your examples, they are indeed very good, do you think it is appropriate to promote them to the army of the whole country?" ”

Li Wei listened, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Your Majesty, this is a little unrealistic!" According to the training rules of the Yulin Army, with the needs of the soldiers, plus the military salary, the money consumed every year is very huge, although the minister can't calculate how much it will cost, but according to the financial resources of the court at this time, it is absolutely impossible to do! ”

Zheng Wen listened, smiled, and then pointed to these training soldiers and said: "Li Wei, how do you know that I can't do it, in my eyes, money is a tool, it is useful when it is said to be useful, and it is useless to say that it is useless, as long as I am willing, there is nothing I can't do for these foreign things!" Zheng Wen said proudly, with a smile on his face.

Then he said: "What I ask you is, can the soldiers of the Great Cadre undertake this level of training? ”

Li Wei listened, his heart was ecstatic, it seems that His Majesty's determination to reorganize the army is far greater than he imagined, the opportunity for these martial artists has come, it is not a problem to seal his wife and son, leave his name in history, and be promoted to an official position, life is in the world, and there must be something meaningful!

So, Li Wei said in an excited tone: "Your Majesty, my big man is the best man in the world, as long as there are enough foreign things, there is nothing we can't do!" ”

"Very good, Qing's words, I am very relieved, I also remember, you spread the word in the army, just say what I said, the armament of the great cadres will come according to the standards of the Yulin Army in the future, I dare not say it in five years, and I will do what I say in ten years!" After listening to Li Wei's words, Zheng Wen also waved his hand and said proudly.

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Wei listened to Zheng Wen's words, and immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Zheng Wen and marched an army against Zheng Wen to express his gratitude to Zheng Wen.

When Zheng Wen saw it, he smiled and helped Li Wei up with both hands, and then said: "Qing's loyalty, I saw it, I said it, I will do it!" ”

"And you, I also gave you a task, from now on, the soldiers who join the Yulin Army, you must also teach them to read and write, train them as officers, and I will treat the Yulin Army as the cradle of the Daqian officers in the future, so that these people can carry this knowledge and sprinkle the entire army of Daqian!"

"The reform of the army of the great cadres began from here!" Zheng Wen's last sentence was almost shouted.

Let Li Wei hear it, and he was even more excited!

"No! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust! Li Wei said in a loud voice.

He originally wanted to find out about the lack of envoys in Hebei, but now it seems that he doesn't need it, and he still wants to be his own general of the Yulin Army, which has a great future.

Because he heard from Zheng Wen's words, Zheng Wen's idea of using the Yulin Army as a military academy of the national army is definitely a great idea.

Because in this feudal era, what kind of military books, what kind of martial arts training...... In short, as long as there are things related to military power, many of them are passed from father to son, and the son is small or passed down from one clan to another, which is why there is a saying about the Jiangmen family. Even the weapons of many dynasties were quite strictly controlled, and no large weapons of destruction were allowed to be used by the people!

The big cadres, on the other hand, generally inherited the Han system, and paid attention to "punishing without teaching," which meant that a soldier who went to the battlefield must undergo training and be familiar with the military formation before he would be allowed, and other people who had no training foundation were not allowed.

For this reason, the control of weapons among the civilian people is not very strict, but the regulations are very strict. There is such a stipulation in the "Qianlu": A family of five must have a knife or sword, a pair of bows, and the rest are not limited, and violators will be fined 5,000 yuan. This kind of regulation is very strict, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was also evaluated as the performance of local officials, and after more than 300 years, we know the proliferation of civilian weapons!

There are good and bad things about this system, and the good thing is that the practice of martial arts among the people is prevalent, and this has provided a solid foundation for the reserve source of the huge army of cadres. But on the bad side, the wind of private fighting among the people is rampant, and the slightest discord between villages and pavilions will lead to a big fight......

Zheng Wen has read the relevant information, some of the systems of this great cadre made him a little speechless, like the officials of the local government, unlike the Ming and Qing officials, they issued a set of uniforms and gave them a waist knife, they could run rampant in the locality, and what collection of taxes and grain was so majestic that it was not good.

And in Daqian, you will find that in a somewhat combative position such as a government officer, each person is not only given a waist sword, but also a set of armor, a bow or a crossbow. Of course, it can't be new, mostly old armaments that have been decommissioned. For example, the wooden sticks used by the local government when the court is open to try cases do not have a deterrent effect, but are only specially used to beat people.

And the officials of the local government who went to collect taxes and grain, when they went, they had to be fully armed, which made Zheng Wen want to laugh a little.

And what made Zheng Wen feel speechless the most was that during the autumn harvest of the eighth year of Longcheng, in Yangqu County, Taiyuan County, the county officials who collected taxes and the local Yang clan started a fierce fight, but the result was unexpected, which was shocking, and the well-equipped county officials could not do the local clan forces, which made Xiahou Hun of Taiyuan County at that time very annoyed, and directly launched thousands of Taiyuan garrisons to carry out armed requisition of the Yang clan.

For this reason, Xiahou Hun also asked the court to restrict weapons in the people, and was sprayed with blood by the military at that time, but Zheng Wen's grandfather was very angry after knowing it, and a cup of poisonous wine was given to kill Xiahou Hun, and all the local officials in Taiyuan were removed from their posts and investigated, the Yang clan was washed in blood, and all local forces in Taiyuan were liquidated.

It can be seen from this that the proliferation of weapons among the people is so serious that it is hard to imagine that there are so many weapons among the people that it is difficult to imagine that there are so many weapons of the people that it is difficult to imagine that they are heavy and large weapons of the armed forces, such as bed crossbows, trebuchets, and military oil. Of course, the distribution of this kind of weapon is mostly in the northern region, and there are relatively few in Jiangnan and other places!

It is precisely on this basis that Zheng Wen dared to boast that Haikou would be equipped with a regular army of 2 million cadres according to the standards of the Yulin Army in the next ten years. Because there are many weapons in the people of the people, there are also many people who make weapons, and as long as they are willing to pay for them, they can make them.

You must know that a soldier of the Daqian Yulin Army, the court will issue a pair of black fine iron armor and a pair of fine leather armor, a fine waist knife, a pair of bows or crossbows, a monthly salary of three taels of silver, as well as clothes and shoes and other miscellaneous things, a soldier of the Yulin Army, the court will spend no less than five hundred taels of silver on him a year!

It's surprising to think about it, according to the price of Daqian Yanjing City at this time, five hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of five or six years, and it is still living very well.

If Zheng Wen accepts such a standard to equip all the troops of the Great Cadres, an army of two million people, and the military expenditure of 100 million silver in a year will not be stopped, this is still the time when there is no war, and once a war is fought, the money spent will be like flowing water. Of course, this can't be a real 100 million taels of silver.
