54_54258 Huaidong, Qingzhou, Yidu City,

Murong Wu, who had been tired and dusty all the way, finally arrived at his final destination, and then, in front of an old building, he hesitated and hesitated with some uncertainty.

Because, the location of the building he saw was a little remote and deserted, there were not many people on the nearby streets, and the surrounding environment layout was quite old and looked like it was everywhere, the exterior walls were mottled, and some of them looked like they were in disrepair.

The only thing on the door is a relatively new plaque with words like "Household Statistics and Social Survey Office". It didn't look like he was familiar with the public door.

Yidu, as the seat of Qingzhou and the capital of the six prefectures, gives people the feeling that it is all kinds of busy and noisy, and almost everyone is quite busy, giving people the first feeling that it is a certain vitality of tension and order.

But there was a small mistake here, he was supposed to stay in the guest house with the rest of him, waiting for someone from the government to report to him, but after he simply cleaned the dust, he couldn't wait for someone to come, so he asked the place first and found it himself.

At this time, the door of the inner courtyard suddenly opened, and a young man in a green shirt with a very bookish head came out. It's just that his skin is very tanned, and he doesn't look like a big job, but a clerk who often needs to run outside.

"May I ask this little Langjun, this is ......"

Murong Wu hurriedly stepped forward and asked

"The ...... under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Yamen"

“……”

This young little Langjun looked at him with some surprise, took out the letter, and then showed a smile on his face.

"But Mr. Murong from Guangfu ......"

"Don't dare to be, just call me Murong Wu......"

Murong Wu put down a stone in his heart at this time, but he said politely that he didn't dare to hold it up.

"In Xia Su Changsheng, it just so happened to be the head of the office......"

The young man introduced himself

"It's been a long time......"

This young man, who still looked a little bookish and shy, was actually the partner and official he needed to report to, Murong Wu suddenly felt a little unbelievable and not real enough.

Then, he was both happy and a little disappointed, and the other party was obviously not completely reassured, so he first arranged for him to make a rather leisurely transition to the ministry, but this was not what he wanted.

When I entered the inner courtyard, I found that there was a world inside, and the shade of the vine trellises and the flowers and trees were in a neat and orderly manner, which was in stark contrast to the depression and coldness outside.

Occasionally, there are figures walking through it, but the pace is light and neat, and the whole environment looks free, a kind of purity away from the bustle and noise.

This result made Murong Wu's feelings and evaluations a little more disappointed, and they were slightly raised. With the other party's youth, being able to take charge of such a department is at least the chief officer's personal background, or he has other talents.

Just a simple greeting all the way,

It wasn't until I entered the spacious building that I opened the door and was greeted by the smell of heavy ink and paper mixed with the smell of human sweat.

Only then did Murong Wu see the crowd of people sitting in front of the desk, burying their heads in the books, and the rows of bookshelves and cabinets leaning against the four walls.

Among them, there were hundreds of people, old and young, and almost did not raise their heads to the outside movement, but were still in some kind of thought and calculation. And in their hands, there are more auxiliary tools such as calculation chips

As the water timer by the wall turned, someone came over at regular intervals to replenish their pen and ink utensils and tea, and then sent the finished part to the inner hall.

In the side hall, there are also a number of animal-powered printing machines, rolling the bright iron plates, spitting out page after page of paper.

Walk up to a printing machine,

"This is the Institute of Analysis,"

Su Changsheng continued to introduce him at this time

"Responsible for handling the huge amount of information that should be exchanged between the local government,"

"As well as the market prices of the household registration land regularly reported by the states and counties, in order to eliminate their complexity and select their essential ......"

"Exclusively for the two governments to select in detail...... Or it's time to check the file."

Hearing this, Murong Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this is indeed a good errand for leisure and good maintenance, which is roughly equivalent to the Pavilion Treasury of Jingzhao Mansion. But it didn't mean much to what he was asking for.

"However, these are only the duties in name......"

Su Changsheng paused, and said with a straight face

"The real role of the Registry...... It's about visiting local people's dynamics."

Murong Wu's heart was lifted up at once, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned on his face.

"At the same time, it also leads to the investigation of rape and anti-espionage in various cities, and assists in the local divisions, and investigates illegal activities......"

"Therefore, there are really several groups of people who are taking turns to be active."

"At present, it is still in the process of being created, so there are many incomplete......

"Therefore, in the future, I will have to rely on Mr. Murong's wisdom and sophistication......

At this point, he paused for a moment

"Let's start with by-election and reserve personnel training, and see how to ......"

"As it should be,"

Only then did Murong Wu really put his mind at ease, this is the aspect and field he is good at, and this arrangement is also because of the meaning.

"Wu dares to call ...... if he doesn't obey his orders"

Of course, what Su Changsheng didn't say specifically was that the reason why it was called "Household Statistics and Social Survey Office", which was easy to misunderstand, was actually to avoid suspicion and hide people's eyes and ears relative to the eyes and ears of the court in the rear.

Just like another one, the "Military Horse Ziwu Statistical Survey Office" under the leadership of Tong Hao, it is actually a special organization that undertakes the supervision and investigation tasks related to the three armies and one guard, the garrison battalions and garrison regiments at all levels, the Jiansheng Army, and the labor service battalions.

They are all hiding in normal public institutions, confusing the public, and starting from the two lines of the military and the localities, they overlap and intersect with each other, and the military and civilian belong to the military and civilian with the core of relatively adequate coverage of the six prefectures.

Therefore, Murong Wu, as a new member of the group, first had to find someone to draw a rather detailed portrait in vain, leaving membrane marks of his hands and feet on the fine clay of porcelain clay as one of the basic materials for the stall.

Many novelties of this kind opened a door to a new future in front of Murong Wu

Outside the city of Tu, on the plains on the edge of the Yangtze River, smoke and dust are billowing and people are criss-crossed.

The officers and men from our personal guard regiment were giving the sergeants of the training regiment a demonstration of various tactics and techniques of getting off horses and cooperating with the gun.

Under the rule of the six states today,

As a direct subordinate rank other than the regular army, the tooth soldiers of the envoy and the Yu Hou army under the six states of Zhenfu were given a total of 6,500 posts.

Of course, these 6,500 people are only referring to the standard of food and salary of ordinary soldiers, and they have to raise their own equipment, and in a certain way, they are more like my generals.

However, because of my own expense and vigorous subsidies and support, not only did these troops not have any money, but the actual number of empty salaries and differences deliberately set aside by the regular army would be slightly higher, reaching about 8,000 men.

Among them, the three core units of the pro-direct battalion, the teaching brigade, and the pacesetter battalion belong to the tooth soldier sequence, and they are also the seed troops that provide the backbone of each army.

However, in the basic advanced sequence of being promoted from the bottom to a non-commissioned officer or officer, one must have served or been a trainee in one of these three units.

The directly subordinate car battalions, the first (heavy) and second (field) artillery regiments, the first to third hunting and cavalry battalions, the life capture regiment and the guerrilla regiment are all under the name of Yu Houjun.

They are also directly subordinate mobile formations and special ranks, and they are stationed in the base camp and the rear of the battle line in turns, as the nearest reserves.

In wartime, according to the needs, part or whole is extracted, and the subordinate is strengthened under a specific military order to coordinate the operation of the strategic task.

And the guards who walked with me this time, although in the name of the pro-guard regiment, were actually most of the best of these tooth soldiers.

Therefore, it is said that they can immediately shoot and ride skillfully, and they can also closely coordinate with each other under the horse.

Moreover, they also have a certain determination and will to sacrifice fearlessly, and will spare their lives when necessary to ensure and protect my safety.

When necessary, they can also be used as seeds and skeletons, and in a very short period of time, they can quickly expand a basic scale of combat power. But this is all a last resort.

Two days later,

The troops that went out to pursue separately of the imperial camp army also returned to the formation one after another with beheadings and prisoners.

It's just that in the end, the number of beheadings they specifically beheaded is actually several times higher than the few incomplete military camps in the local register.

This inevitably caused a lot of conflict and strife to break out within this crusading army. After all, no one would not mind that their gains would become empty reports in the mouths of others.

Especially under the nose of the prison state, there are not many opportunities to express themselves, so the three armies of the imperial camp, and the dozen or so battalion leaders who directly participated in the war, almost no one refused to give in.

Even for the specific amount of capture, regardless of the reprimand of the various officials, they almost turned their faces on the spot in the military meeting, and the copyists threatened each other and confronted each other.

Because of my special status and detachment, I, who was asked to be present to be responsible for maintaining order, also rarely pretended to be a villain, and used the guards on duty to suppress them, and punished several of the worst of the people, each with dozens of military sticks, to calm down this deteriorating momentum.

But that's all I can do, and then, it was the main general who came forward to announce that in view of these rebels, a large number of local people were coerced to make a rebellion together, and they were killed by both good and bad in the battle array.

This barely self-justifying explanation enabled the majority of generals to reach a compromise and compromise that was relatively satisfactory, from the first troops to participate in the war to be counted as 80 percent of the gains, to the last troops to participate in the battle, only 5 percent of the troops were counted.

And I also inadvertently seemed to play some kind of indirect foiling role, which made the military morale and popularity of this Chinese military commander soar.

It's just that in this way, the water for killing and beheading the enemy is too great, and this is not counting the number of those prisoners, what happened in this is naturally self-evident.

And they seem to be accustomed to it, or regard it as an inconsequential subsection, and under the communication between the generals, it is lightly revealed.

Then, I also wanted to share a batch of heads for me as part of the unwarranted achievements under my name, but I was not good at usurping the merits of the soldiers in front of me, so I politely declined on the spot.

This qiē also made me feel once again the traditions and drawbacks of the old army, and the expectations and hopes of these friendly troops and colleagues who originally thought it was quite new, inevitably greatly reduced again.

And in the 500-member study group, the post-mortem evaluation and attitude towards this matter have also become a kind of division and touchstone, and the so-called truth of not being in charge of the army does not mean that there is no limit to humanity and basic principles.

Just like the people's soldiers of later generations, combat effectiveness comes not only from how many opponents are defeated and how good equipment is captured, but also from the basic line of strict self-discipline and closeness to the masses of the people, which has always been crowned ascetic.

I don't dare to hope that under the conditions of this era, I can reach this height of nirvana rebirth, but under my rule, at least the integration of the military and the civilian population is emphasized, and superfluous mutilation and destruction other than combat and killing are strictly prohibited.

It was in this complicated state of mind that I finally waited for the order to call back the army.

It's just that this time the way back, because of too much baggage and carriages and horses, became slowly swallowed, and it was no longer the vigorous and resolute way of the previous battle.

Although because the treatment of the imperial camp army was relatively good, and the daily military discipline constraints were quite strict, therefore, after the war, there was no strange situation of "women in the official army" during the Northern Expedition, but it was also human nature to seize "looted assets from the hands of the rebel army" or pick up some "ownerless things" along the way
