Chapter 254: Reserves

Kong Shangxian's words are very reasonable.

The national strength and population of Cangguo have not completely reached the limit, but they are also approaching saturation.

With a population of 30 million, raising an army of 1 million is a normal state, if it exceeds this limit, it will bring a huge burden to the country, it is okay to have a war all the time, if there is no war for ten or eight years, will this group of people not be able to keep raising?

In this way, it will seriously hinder the development of Cangguo, drag down the people, and in the long run, it will become a disadvantage, and the story of the three monks who have no water to drink is thought-provoking.

"Aiqing thinks, how about the implementation of reserves in my Cangguo?"

"Reserves? Is what Your Majesty said as ...... as the other countries?" Kong Shangxian said in surprise.

"Nope." Yang Mu interrupted him and said: "Cangguo's reserve must not be just an empty talk, we must call on the people of the whole country, just like reading and learning words, to start to strengthen their bodies from an early age, understand some fighting skills and military formation knowledge, each citizen must receive at least one year of training, and when it is time to recruit new soldiers, they can pick up weapons and go into battle to kill the enemy after a little training." ”

National Reserve?

Isn't this a peasant soldier?

It's just a trained peasant soldier.

The two prime ministers looked at each other, thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense.

Since the establishment of the 12 ministries, coupled with the great change of blood in the government at all levels, the implementation of the decrees of Cangguo has always been known for its high efficiency and high execution, and such a method is also feasible.

Yang Mu didn't speak, but he had already decided in his heart that he wanted to do this.

Just like the university military training in the previous life, after more than ten days of hard work, you will find that the military training before and after is completely different, if the people of Cangguo are organized, like military training, with the township as a unit, the military training can be organized, and the effect is very good.

In the future, if there is any emergency that requires temporary recruitment of new soldiers, it will not be too embarrassing, which is equivalent to saving their lives in disguise.

The three of them discussed for a while and decided to hand over this matter to the Ministry of War, and Fan Hongji, who had always been solid and steady, would supervise the implementation of the decree.

……

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was another winter snow day.

In Yang Mu's eyes, the five years of Taiding may be the calmest year.

In this year, the war against Wei officially ended, and Wei lost two-thirds of its land, formed an alliance with Ruan, a former enemy, and finally saved the country by licking his wounds.

The Jin State also achieved its strategic goals, but it was somewhat different from what was expected, the rise of the Ruan State and the rapid momentum of the Chu State in the south, coupled with the soft and hard of the Cang State, made it feel like a fish in the throat.

Looking a little further, Wu Guo, Yun Guo, and Mang Guo are all very strong competitors.

In Yang Mu's words, a situation of one super and many strong is forming.

Among them, Cangguo has also become one of the many powers, but because of the lack of a key battle, it is not able to prove its strength for the time being.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, let's go to the house and rest."

The queen came out of the palace, took a fox fur cloak, and gently put it on for him.

"No, I don't know why, during this time, I always felt full of strength, there was a heat flow surging in my chest, and I didn't feel a little afraid of cold." Yang Mu grabbed her hand and said.

Heat surge?

The queen was slightly surprised, and then said with a smile: "Presumably, Your Majesty has cultivated out of the inner breath. ”

"Inside? I haven't practiced martial arts either, what's the ...... Could it be Changchun Gong? Yang Mu was very surprised.

The queen nodded and said, "It should be like this, Changchun Gong is the way of emperor's double cultivation, and His Majesty has not taken up his concubines in the past year, which is already relatively slow." ”

Yang Mu suddenly realized, suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Is that me, like the Emperor of Changchun, I can live for hundreds of years?" ”

"This ...... The concubines didn't know either. The queen shook her head, a little embarrassed, and said: "At the beginning, the Emperor of Changchun sang every night, and His Majesty wanted to compare with him, but it was much worse." ”

"Do you think I can't do it?" Yang Mu pretended to be displeased, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you still lack a lesson, let you learn and understand it well tonight, it is useless to beg for mercy." ”

"Don't." The queen subconsciously spoke, of course she knew what Yang Mu said, so she said in a soft tone: "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty is working hard for state affairs and is not indulging in wine, but is praising Your Majesty." ”

"Oh, really?" Yang Mu blinked, scratched her nose, and quipped: "However, what I say is out of the law, but what I say cannot be taken back." ”

"That'...... Tonight, the concubine asked Miaoxi to come over too, and it was a long time since we had played cards together. The queen dodged her eyes and took Miaoxi with her.

"Didn't they fight the landlord together the day before yesterday? It is said that Miao Xi has won more than 100 silver chips. ”

"Anyway...... Anyway, it's been a long time, and the concubine really wants to play cards! ”

The queen slammed her fist twice, was embarrassed, turned around and returned to the palace, leaving Yang Mu alone to enjoy the snow outside.

Yang Mu smiled and pulled the fox fur on his shoulder up.

As the saying goes, Ruixue is a good year, and it is estimated that by next year, the harvest of the people of Cangguo will have to be doubled again, and the surplus grain in the treasury will be sufficient, and there will be confidence in the war.

He didn't pay much attention to the queen's words.

Who is the Emperor of Changchun? Can I compare myself to him?

Want to indulge in wine? That's good, let's unify the five dynasties first, not to mention the unification of the five dynasties, at least let Cangguo become the hegemon, and no one dares to invade it.

There is a long way to go, the dream of immortality is not to think about it at present, there are still a lot of books waiting to be copied in the library in my head, this thing cannot be done overnight, it is good to copy some every day, adapt to the development of Cangguo as soon as possible, and strive to be a leisurely emperor as soon as possible.

However, just a few days after Yang Mu had this idea, a team of people came from a distant foreign land.

These people were all women, with a sword in their hands, a hat on their heads, and a white veil covering their faces, and from their graceful figures, they all looked like fairies, which was comparable to the queen's previous cold temperament, as if they had just come down from a snowy mountain.

It is difficult for such a group of women to walk on the street without being noticeable.

If it was placed in the past, it would definitely attract bees and butterflies, and it would not be able to get rid of the entanglement of a group of noble children, but in recent years, with the resolute implementation of the "Dacang Law Order", under the public, even the children of big families like the Fan family, the Wang family, and the Chen family would not dare to do such illegal things.

Under everyone's gaze, the group of women entered an inn shortly after entering the city.

It seems to be a lodging ......

The men on the street, all of whom were sent by ghosts, followed the inn one by one.
