Chapter XXV. Production Corps

"Remember, Your Highness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info", Lu Fei clenched his fists, Xiao Ming's words were definitely not untargeted, he asked: "Your Highness, do you want to restore the government military system?" ”

"It is precisely that at the beginning of the state of Dayu, the government military system was adopted, and the soldiers were used in agriculture, but today, the people have no land to cultivate, and the government military system gradually exists in name only, and it has become today's conscription system." Xiao Ming gently dusted off the falling snow on his body, "Now that the six states are in ruins, everything should be planned for farming, I am ready to temporarily implement the government military system, and the soldiers in each state will return to the fields when they are busy and train when they are slack, so that the financial pressure can be reduced, and second, the production in the six states can be accelerated, what do you think?"

Lu Fei pondered for a long time and said: "Your Highness, it is not impossible to restore the government military system, now Your Highness is the king of the six states, and your order is the duty of our sergeants, but now most of the people who join the army are people who have no land to cultivate, and the government military system is restored, and now the soldiers have no land to cultivate." ”

Xiao Ming had already anticipated this problem, and he said to Lu Fei: "I have thought about this problem, so the restored government military system at this time is a little different from the previous government military system. ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear."

Xiao Ming continued: "The people who have land can naturally return to their hometowns to farm, and if the soldiers who do not have land can cultivate the official fields, in this way, all the grain harvested in the official fields can be used as the army's supplies, what do you say?" ”

Lu Fei laughed dumbly, and after a long time, Xiao Ming had the idea of letting the Qingzhou army cultivate his land, he had always been upright, and said bluntly: "Hmph, I really think about the people of the fief when I am Your Highness, it turned out to be for my own land." ”

Xiao Ming was not angry, no matter who seems to be now, Xiao Ming is all for himself.

He laughed, "If Captain Lu looks at me like this, then it is a big mistake, not only will I not take a cent of my land, but all the harvest in my field will be handed over to the treasury, as you said, the fief is mine, do I account for these gains and losses?" In the view of this king, the people are rich, the fief is rich, and the people are strong, if you don't believe it, the king can set up a note and hand it over to Pang Changshi, how? ”

Lu Fei was stunned, the royal family of the Great Yu Kingdom, the wealthy family, did not accumulate money for their own use, and now Xiao Ming actually wanted to confiscate his own property, which was simply unprecedented.

"Your Highness, are you really sincere?" Lu Fei asked again.

"Yes, a gentleman is quick to say a word." Xiao Ming looked directly at Lu Fei, this thorn is not easy to deal with, "The only thing I'm worried about is that the soldiers won't believe me, so I need you to come forward to carry out this matter." ”

Nodding slowly, Lu Fei said: "The last general will believe in His Highness again, if His Highness fulfills his promise, Lu Fei will swear to serve His Highness, because His Highness is a virtuous lord, if His Highness goes back on his word, Lu Fei can only take the soldiers to find another place." ”

"This king doesn't want another group of thieves led by you in his fiefdom." Xiao Ming said lightly, Lu Fei has a very high prestige in the army, this sentence is not bragging, if he really falls into the grass, there will definitely be a large number of soldiers to follow.

"In that case, the soldiers are persuaded by me." Lu Fei nodded emphatically.

The snow is even bigger, and the road can no longer be seen clearly from dozens of meters away, and now the location of this field is also clear, and the plan to transform the army into a production corps has also been supported by Lu Fei.

This was an important step for him, as the conscription system made the army a major consumer of finances.

Financial difficulties and the inability to support soldiers are also the reason why the fiefdom army of a million households is less than 5,000 people. Undernumbered and poorly equipped, this is his army, and it is no different from a gang of bandits.

In order to change the current situation of being poor and white, it is necessary to implement the army model of building production corps and reduce the army's financial consumption.

In fact, this model of building and producing corps is also the cantonment of soldiers, and this model will appear in every era of material scarcity.

On the way back, Xiao Ming continued to instill in Lu Fei the essence of the Production and Construction Corps, and he was ready to divide the army into two parts, one production corps and one construction corps, and the production corps was responsible for the military cantonment and garrison.

The construction corps is responsible for mining, roads, and river dams.

Lu Fei is a rough man, and he also knows nothing about the previous government military system, and after Xiao Ming told him in such detail about the necessity of building a production corps, he suddenly realized.

"Your Highness, Lu Fei knows that he is wrong, it turns out that His Highness is a painstaking person, since this is the case, we can now announce the conscription and expand the normal number of five thousand people to fifty thousand." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, but we can't expand so many people at once, we can't afford to raise food now, so how about recruiting 5,000 people first, waiting for a bumper harvest in Guantian, and then continuing to expand?" ”

"I ignored that." Lu Fei patted his head and said with a hearty smile, "However, His Highness promised that the sergeants of the construction production corps can get ten acres of fertile land each, which will be inherited from generation to generation, and it is estimated that the people who want to be soldiers will squeeze through the Governor's Mansion." ”

"Hahaha......" Xiao Ming also laughed, this is a benefit of the New Deal, and it is also to promote the people to actively join the army, "I don't care about this matter, let you Lu Laohu toss it yourself." ”

Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, and laughed, this Lu Laohu was his nickname in the army, and when Xiao Ming called out, he felt closer to Xiao Ming.

In the past month, Xiao Ming has deeply realized that it is not easy to be a vassal king, carrots and sticks must be used, and government affairs are indispensable like bows and horses, which can not only appease his subordinates, but also be able to calm the field.

Now he can be said to be a full-time all-rounder.

Under the heavy snow, a group of more than 30 rode towards Qingzhou City.

Halfway through, a group of hazy men and horses suddenly appeared not far away, and this group of people was galloping towards them.

"What man, stop!" Lu Fei suddenly roared, the last assassination incident made him still very sensitive.

He couldn't see people's faces clearly in the heavy snow, so he had to guard against accidents.

In an instant, the accompanying more than thirty horsemen protected Xiao Ming in the middle in a ring, bent their bows and arrows on their horses, and were ready to shoot at any time.

The pedestrian didn't seem to hear Lu Fei's scolding, and still rushed over from behind, Lu Fei saw that the pedestrian was getting closer and closer, and raised his hand to order the arrow.

At this moment, someone in the pedestrian suddenly shouted: "Steward Qian, you have to hold on!" ”

"Wait, it's a lot of money." Xiao Ming immediately asked the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows, and sure enough, when the group came closer, it was Qian Dafu and others who went out to look for mines.

It's just that at this time, Qian Dafu was lying on the back of the horse, and a sharp arrow pierced his back.
