After Zhang Wenyuan took over, in order to repay Zhu Ao's kindness, but also to cherish his hard-won future, he always demanded himself with high standards, worked diligently, meticulously, and took care of Hu Cao in an orderly manner, which made Zhu Ao very satisfied.

Zhang Wenyuan said that Shi Yide, the political envoy of Dunhuang, was originally his deputy - the deputy of the palace of Zhengqipin, but also because of his loyalty to Zhu Hao and his responsibility for the work, he was promoted by Zhu Ao to the political envoy of the second grade, and managed Dunhuang that had just been annexed to him for him.

After listening to Zhang Wenyuan's report, Zhu Ao nodded with a hint of approval in his heart, but the opinions of the ministers still had to be sought, and he asked with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

Objectively speaking, Shi Yide's suggestion is very reasonable, Dunhuang has been ruled by foreign people since the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years have passed since now, and even the hair of the Han people has long been invisible there, if you want to assimilate them, then the population on our side must not be less than them.

Zhu Ao's newly subdued Dunhuang County together with the Shazhou Mongolia has a total of six tribes, large and small, with a total population of more than 100,000 people, and he now only stationed more than 20,000 soldiers there, and sent a few armor chiefs and security chiefs.

Moreover, Dunhuang is also a big county, in the Western Han Dynasty is also the same as Zhangye, Wuwei, belongs to the land of abundant water and grass, there is the Shule River water system that originates from the high mountains of Qilian Mountain, since the Han Dynasty, irrigated agriculture is very developed, the cultivated land area in later generations reached more than 300,000 acres, there are vast woodlands and animal husbandry land, the resources are very rich, relying only on those Hulu who can not do anything except grazing and robbery, it is absolutely impossible to develop the potential of Dunhuang.

Therefore, immigrating to Dunhuang is a necessary and correct choice.

This suggestion is both reasonable and has been approved by the leadership, and at this time, it is nothing to look for if it is against the tune, so the civil and military officials in the court have seconded it, and the praise has come and gone.

Every time something is solved, it will make people feel a sense of accomplishment, especially solving the major event of immigrating 100,000 people to develop a county, which makes Zhu Ao's heart even bigger, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "This king still has one more thing to discuss with the secretaries." Immediately, he brought up the idea that he wanted to raise a priest.

As soon as the words came, the ministers exchanged ears again, and the military ministers were overjoyed when they heard it, because this represented Zhu Ao's attention to the generals, and their status would definitely not decline in the future.

Wen Chen naturally had a sense of grief on his face after hearing this, in their opinion, the country should use high welfare to raise talents and people, never expected that Zhu Ao didn't mention this matter, and first wanted to raise a group of big bosses, which made them even more worried about their future future.

After hearing Zhu Ao's plan, Fan Chaoxi was the head of the military ministers in the court at this time, and after hearing Zhu Ao's plan, he was very happy, and immediately stood up and echoed: "Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that this intention is very good, if this intention is implemented throughout the country, then no matter who we fight in the future, we will not lack elite generals." ”

"yes, yes. Your Highness is wise. "Your Highness is wise, and the ministers will resolutely implement it."

All the military ministers are straightforward old and coarse, and when they encounter happy things, they don't care about the etiquette of the monarchs and ministers, and they shout loudly and express their support.

The civil servants standing on their right side despised their insulting behavior very much in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything about it, they all knew that Zhu Ao was bent on expanding the territory, and naturally attached great importance to the generals, even if they were dissatisfied, it was useless to say it, and they could only express their agreement.

In this way, the national policy of raising priests was decided. Zhu Ao did not learn from the Japanese to call them samurai, but gave them a very avant-garde name - non-commissioned officer.

Immediately, Zhu Ao stipulated that a nationwide plan for training non-commissioned officers should be carried out, and all non-commissioned officers would be out of work and divided into upper, middle, and lower grades. The sergeant was given two stones and five buckets of grain and forty pounds of meat every month; The sergeant was given two stones and two buckets of grain and thirty pounds of meat every month; The corporal was given two stone of grain and twenty pounds of meat every month.

In addition, all those who are selected as non-commissioned officers are exempted from conscription for their entire families, and non-commissioned officers have a high status, and they do not need to kneel down when they see the seven-rank officials, but can participate in the management affairs of the insurance where they are located, and all the medical expenses required for their lifelong injuries and illnesses are borne by the state.

As soon as this order came out, the whole country was hotly discussed, and the treatment of non-commissioned officers was too good, not to mention their political and political treatment, but the economic treatment was five buckets higher than that of King Su's first-class Zhuang Ding, and it was free medical treatment for life, which made the ancient people who were desperately raising children to prevent old age yearning.

However, don't be too happy too soon, the non-commissioned officer is treated so well, it is definitely not possible for anyone to be a non-commissioned officer. According to the standards set by Zhu Ao, if you want to become a non-commissioned officer of Su Guo with honor, you must first be skilled in bowing and horses. Archery must be able to hit a target 70 paces away, and 7 hits out of 10 shots are qualified, and hand-to-hand combat must be able to defeat three ordinary Ming soldiers.

After obtaining the qualification of non-commissioned officer, it does not mean that it is done once and for all, and an assessment must be conducted every year in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the highest class will be awarded as a sergeant, the middle one will be awarded as a sergeant, and the inferior one will be awarded a corporal. If you fail the retake, then immediately revoke their non-commissioned officer qualifications and pay a hefty fine to compensate the state for the resources wasted on you.

In addition, in order to encourage non-commissioned officers to pass on martial arts to their descendants, so as to ensure the establishment of their own hereditary military aristocracy, Zhu also issued an order that if a person is a non-commissioned officer, it is not only himself, but his adult son has also become a member of the state, and must wait for the state's order to go to the battlefield at any time.

In this way, those who have obtained the qualification of non-commissioned officers will also do their best to train their sons so that they can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy instead of being killed by the enemy, so as to ensure that the country has a continuous supply of high-quality soldiers.

In a family of hunters in Wuwei County, a sturdy middle-aged man was handing over his young son a gun.

"The most important thing with a gun is to know when to advance and retreat, to know when to attack and when to defend. When attacking, you must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, just like a dragon out of the water, and hit the enemy's vital point with one blow, otherwise the enemy may kill you while your old power is gone and the new power is not released. ”

The middle-aged man practiced marksmanship to show his son as he spoke, and after handing over the basic skills to his son, he said earnestly: "The master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual." I've taught you the basics of using a gun, and you'll have to practice the rest. ”

The young man said as if he didn't understand, "Yes, Daddy." ”
