Liu Ji strode into the conference hall, saw Jiang Chuan's trouser legs rolled up and soaking his feet, and laughed heartily: "The general is so leisurely." ”

Jiang Chuan laughed and said: "Since the military advisor is so envious, come, get a basin of hot water for the military advisor to soak his feet." ”

Liu Ji didn't shirk either, laughed, but took off his shoes and socks on the chair next to Jiang Chuan and pulled up his trouser legs. Qi Xuan came in with a large wooden pot that was the same as the one used by Jiang Chuan and put it at Liu Ji's feet, and then lifted the big copper kettle next to him and added water to the basin.

Liu Ji was obviously a little hesitant and looked at Jiang Chuan with his eyes. Jiang Chuan mentioned this Qi Xuan matter to him, so he was naturally embarrassed to let a lady in distress from an official eunuch's family wash his feet.

Jiang Chuan gave him a look that I couldn't help it, and Liu Ji had to reluctantly thank: "I'm tired of the girl." “

Qi Xuan smiled slightly, and after adding water, she reached into the basin with her hand to test the temperature, and then said, "The water temperature is just right, sir, please use it." After speaking, he bowed slightly and floated out.

"The general is so blessed, it is really enviable to have such a beautiful woman to serve him." When Qi Xuan went out, Liu Ji put his feet in the basin, and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile to Jiang Chuan.

"If the military advisor is interested, you can talk to Miss Qi Xuan, and if the girl agrees, I naturally have no objection." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"A gentleman doesn't win people's love, and to have this treatment today is also stained with the light of the general, but I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes." Liu Ji hurriedly waved his hand and laughed.

After the two laughed a few words, Liu Ji said with a straight face: "General, after combing and rectifying in the past few days, some procedures have been sorted out in terms of civil governance, and the general please take a look." “

With that, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Jiang Chuan.

Although the world also uses traditional Chinese characters, most of Jiang Chuan is still recognized. You can basically guess the context of the combination that you don't know.

It's just that there are still some difficulties in writing it, after all, I used to use simplified Chinese characters. Although he practiced calligraphy for a period of time when he was a child, the handwriting was still unsightly.

Jiang Chuan has been thinking about when to get a quill for himself, so that he can use it smoothly, and the words he writes will not be laughed at.

took over Liu Ji's civil governance plan, and it was an extremely beautiful little note, and it was pleasing to the eye before reading the content.

Jiang Chuan quickly read the content, and already had a basic understanding of Liu Ji's plan in his heart.

In fact, there are some things in this that he has discussed with Liu Ji before, but this time it is actually just Liu Ji re-discussing it after revising it.

Liu Ji's plan has three main parts: household compilation, legal system, and customs.

The main content of the household compilation chapter is to register all the people, issue a photo, and then organize them in an orderly manner according to the methods of ten households and one guarantee, ten guarantees and one mile, and five miles and one village.

The same village and the same li, the same insurance has the obligation and responsibility of watching and helping each other and supervising each other. If one person commits a crime, all of them will be protected.

Each household is limited to a maximum of five members, and men who reach the age of 16 must be separated and become separate. A woman may marry at the age of 16, and if she fails to marry at the age of 20, her parents will be punished.

Each household can be allocated 100 acres of wasteland, which can be cultivated by itself, and the government can support the cultivation needs of cattle, harrows, and seeds free of charge, and all grain taxes will be exempted for three years.

Moreover, all the people disrupted the original small groups, reorganized and mixed into villages, and lived in villages as units.

The main purpose of the chapter on the legal system is to rule the people by law, and everyone must abide by the law. At present, four laws have been promulgated: it is strictly forbidden to kill people in private fights, and violators should be beheaded; It is strictly forbidden to steal and defraud, and offenders will be punished with cane; It is strictly forbidden to defecate in the open, and offenders will be flogged. It is strictly forbidden to wander lazily and not do a proper job, and those who violate it will be punished with hard labor after being flogged.

At the same time, law enforcement orders are set up, and law enforcement officials are stationed in each village to supervise their implementation. If there is a violation, the law enforcement order will punish him in accordance with the law. If there is a beheading, it will be reported to the general's office for approval before it is executed.

The customs chapter mainly stipulates some bad habits among the people: for example, everyone must bathe once every three days and wash their clothes once every five days; Men and women live separately, and boys and girls are not allowed to live in the same house with their parents after they have reached the age of 10; Families must build latrines and do not defecate in the open; Limit drinking, you can drink once every five days, each household is limited to one jar of drinking, if there are special circumstances, you must report to the village for approval.

Men and women can only marry at the age of 16, and marriage must be reported to the civil affairs yamen for approval. After marriage, the family must be separated and separated.

After reading it, Jiang Chuan looked up and smiled at Liu Ji and said: "The military advisor is really talented, this plan for governing the people is detailed and suitable for our current situation, I think it is very feasible." It's just that I think I need to add some more content. ”

Liu Ji said: "Please make it clear to the general." “

"Conscription. At present, the number of people in the valley is nearly 10,000, and there are about 3,000 young and strong men. However, the wasteland in the valley could not meet the needs of these 10,000 people. So I'm going to draw a militia out of these men, train in my spare time, and farm in my busy time, and if there is a big war, these people can be replenished at any time. ”

Jiang Chuan's meaning is to treat this militia organization as a recruit training camp, which can maintain law and order internally in peacetime, and once there are casualties in the army and need to be replenished, people can be selected from it to be replenished and added to the army. Actually, to put it bluntly, it is a reserve force.

Liu Ji pondered for a moment and then said: "What the general thinks, I think it is very feasible, and I will ask the general to look at it after I go back." ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "The military advisor doesn't need to worry, this matter is very important, and you must carefully consider it." Once a decree is promulgated, it is not easy to change it at will, otherwise it will inevitably be suspected of changing the decree overnight. In addition, I have some thoughts on conscription, and I will share them with the military advisor. ”

Liu Ji nodded yes, looked at Jiang Chuan, and felt a sense of respect. He could feel that the temperament of the young general in front of him was becoming more and more dignified and steady, resolute and resolute when fighting, and cautious and pragmatic in internal affairs.

Jiang Chuan can also feel that Liu Ji's gaze on himself is getting more and more different, from the original helplessness to scrutinizing and observing, to now admiring and respecting, it is a feeling of constantly being recognized, and he naturally understands it in his heart, but he doesn't say anything, and he adds some of his thoughts to Liu Ji with a slight smile.

For the militia, he intended to make two battalions of 1,000 people each, with two battalions of 1,000 people. One battalion is a standing battalion and the other is a recruit battalion.

In fact, the standing battalion is the main armed force in the interior, which can not only assist in law and order, but also assist the civil affairs yamen in enforcing various laws and regulations. And if there is an internal rebellion, it will be suppressed as soon as possible. If there is a need to replenish the troops, they are replenished from the standing battalions at any time.

The role of the recruit battalion is to conduct military training for all young men of appropriate age, and the training is once every three days, and the young men of appropriate age must be trained for more than two years before they can be considered qualified.

The staffing gap in the standing battalions is replenished from the new barracks. Once selected into the standing battalion, they can enjoy military salaries and other related subsidies, and at the same time, their families can enjoy the treatment of military dependents, enjoy preferential policies such as taxation and conscription.

In fact, Jiang Chuan still has a lot of ideas about recruitment, but he couldn't think through many things in a hurry, so he first said what he figured out.

The general's thinking is meticulous and peculiar, but it makes people feel that it is feasible, and Liu Ji admires it. After I go back, I will definitely recompile and sort it out, and I will definitely not disappoint the general. Liu Ji said with admiration after listening.

"The military advisor has an overreputation, but in fact, I am just talking about it, and the real work needs to be done by the military advisor. All of this must have a person who is in charge of the overall situation and is promoted from it, so I think I will set up an administrative secretary, and the military division will be the ambassador of this civil affairs department. Jiang Chuan smiled and said his thoughts by the way.

"Chief Secretary? Dare to ask how the general is established? Liu Ji is also a free and easy person, and he will not pretend to excuse himself. He also knew that Jiang Chuan really had no one around him except himself.

"Strategist, you can't be lazy. You will be the boss in the future, and you have the final say. How to set up the following institutions, you come up with a plan, and I am approved. Jiang Chuan smiled and nodded a little teasing at Liu Ji.

He knew that Liu Ji was capable, and as long as he mentioned many things a little, what he made was definitely not worse than what he made, or even more perfect.

"The general loves and trusts him so much, Liu Ji will definitely live up to his mission." Liu Ji arched his hand.

The two of them basically settled on the general outline of civil affairs while soaking their feet.

"General, this time you will break the Tartars, conquer Liaoyang City, and capture the Tartar princess, and it won't be long before you will become famous all over the world." Liu Ji suddenly mentioned this topic.

"Strategist, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, I would rather not be famous so early. As soon as this name came out, I became the target of public criticism. Huang Taiji is now sending people all over the world to find me, and the Ming army must also be inquiring about our news. Once they have confirmed where we are, they will attack them with all their might. It can be said that we are about to endure an unprecedented crisis. Jiang Chuan said with a wry smile.

In fact, when Liu Ji was talking in Jiang Chuan, he had been observing his expression. He was a thoughtful person, and although he saw Jiang Chuan smiling bitterly, he actually didn't have much sadness, which showed that Jiang Chuan didn't worry much about the huge crisis in his own mouth.

Although Liu Ji didn't know that Jiang Chuan's confidence came from, he also knew that Jiang Chuan definitely had a big secret. But someone as smart as him wouldn't have asked.

"I think the general is a bamboo in his chest, last time he was able to break the Tartars in the field, this time we rely on the power of the terrain, condescending, and have the captured red-clothed cannon, the god of war, we will definitely be able to break the Tartars again. At that time, the general will be truly famous. You must know that these people in the Ming Dynasty under the Tartar soldiers but retreated, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty exclaimed, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is not more than 10,000, and it is invincible." "But the general can repeatedly thwart the Tartars, and then there will inevitably be an uproar in the world, and everyone will look at it."

After Liu Ji said these words very seriously, he looked at Jiang Chuan with blazing eyes.

Jiang Chuan looked at Liu Ji and suddenly laughed: "The military advisor has something to say, Jiang Chuan listens attentively." “

Liu Ji said: "General, Liu Ji thinks that since the battle between the general and the Tartars is inevitable, then this battle will inevitably be noticed by the world, so you might as well take this opportunity to really play the banner and let the general's name be known to the world." I know that the general is determined to be in the world, but he just wants to compete for the world, not blindly relying on force alone. On the basis of force, he played prestige and fame, and then used prestige and fame as bait to attract the Quartet to vote and further strengthen the strength of the general. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, the officials are corrupt, and the national strength is empty, although the emperor of the dynasty is full of clothes and food, and he is diligent in government, but the Ming Dynasty has accumulated a lot of difficulties for more than two hundred years, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream if he wants to turn the tide. The people are hopeless, the scholars are hesitant, and they don't have much confidence in the Ming court. Therefore, if the general can conquer the Tartars in Liaodong and create a piece of heaven and earth, it is tantamount to a bright light in the dark night, which will attract countless scholars to vote. So, in my opinion, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself. “

Liu Ji's words were solemn and serious, which made Jiang Chuan not only a little moved, but also said after a moment of silence: "Military advisor, what name do you think you use to promote the world?" ”

"Jiang Jiajun!" Liu Ji said word by word.
