"Farming, within two years, these people basically have to cultivate the land, reclaim wasteland, learn to use farm tools to plant, and learn to harvest. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"When the time comes, in the two cities of Xia and the East, according to the Lisi system, each mile will be divided into five thousand acres of wasteland, and I will plan this at that time."

"There is not enough time for planting in March, so we give up spring planting and the city will provide basic food to last for a year. Before the autumn planting in August, 1,000 acres of land must be cultivated for each mile, which is the minimum standard, and failure to do so will be punished. It's not difficult, not to mention that there are already cows and horses, even if you are good at it and a hoe, you can plane it out. ”

"Each mile is divided into twelve oxen, two horses, twenty sets of ploughshares, cocoons, carts, and one hundred sets of hoes, sickles, and other tools. It is under the jurisdiction of the peasants, and this is public property, not private property. You also know what kind of punishment it will be if a cow or horse dies for no reason. ”

"When we harvest in May next year, we must not only ensure that we have enough to eat, but also bear the taxes."

Speaking of which, someone finally spoke up to ask a question, and the question was asked by a young man from the agricultural class, who was one of the first to go to the farm for internship, and now has basically mastered the basic knowledge of farmland cultivation.

Chen Jian recognized that this was Shi Quan's younger brother, a very handsome young man named Shi Quan.

"Ji Xia, I want to ask, how to collect taxes here? At the time of Yucheng, all the harvest of the farm went to the public property, which was then redistributed by the public property, and the Department of Planning and Statistics was in charge of everything. Is that the same on this side? ”

Chen Jian shook his head and said: "At that time, Yucheng was newly built, food could not be guaranteed, and many people did not know how to farm. ”

"It doesn't have to be that way here. Fifty households in a mile pay a fixed amount of grain, and the rest can be kept by themselves, and they can sell it if they are willing to sell it. ”

"As farmers, you can also organize these more than 100 households to make some small workshops. Starting next year, some controls will be relaxed. Except for salt, iron, copper, wine, weapons, etc., which are still in public property, the rest can be bought and sold freely. Even if you have spare energy, you can fish, burn shellfish, do carpentry, scrape nitrate, burn charcoal, and so on in your spare time in winter. ”

"Once every two years, whoever does the best to make the richest within a mile can be rewarded and promoted."

Shi Quan sighed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was much easier to govern this way, and the things he learned could always be used.

There are a lot of things purchased by the supply and marketing department, charcoal, fish bladder, honey, carpentry, etc., which can be concentrated on the strength of more than 100 households, and one household will definitely not be able to do it, and the most important thing is that Xia Cheng is under the strict control of the Lisi system, and no one can be hired to do these things, so they can only concentrate on the self-cultivators to do it themselves in their leisure time, so as to concentrate capital and labor.

Chen Jian thought for a moment, and then added: "In addition to grain, after you complete the land reclamation, you may be forced to grow a certain crop within a year or two, and the taxes paid may not be wheat beans, or hemp and other things. This is the business of the Programme and Statistics Division, it has nothing to do with you, you just have to do what you are asked to do. ”

Everyone asked some questions at random, and Jian Chen answered them one by one, and there are still two or three years to let them get acquainted with it, so they don't have to worry too much at this time.

Among the four things of agriculture, learning, soldiers, and industry, workers refer to the big workshops that belong to the state, and these people are not needed to manage them, but Chen Jian still said it roughly.

After everyone had almost digested it, Chen Jian threw out a plan for military reform. This reform of the military system is actually suitable for the parallel combination of school education.

It was decided that Xia Cheng would be set up as a county, and that the system of the Risi would be used to constrain it in a semi-collective manner, so that a standing army could be formed according to the method of drawing one out of fifteen households, which would be about 400 people, which could be used to maintain the operation and authority of the violent organs of the state.

These standing forces are not field troops, but are used only as instruments of violence during the transition period.

Every year, he also organizes military training during the off-season, which is basically to train the Ge Spear phalanx, as a case in case the mobilization of the whole people is needed.

And the real main forces are divided into two parts.

Starting this year, all young people between the ages of fourteen and fifteen, who have just reached adulthood, are required to fulfill the obligation to become a soldier and serve for four to five years. They were mainly spearmen and phalanxes, and possibly arquebusiers. This is the main force that maintains the front.

The cavalry under the previous 400 black-clothed guards and Yangguan Baima will be disassembled and regrouped into three troops.

Feather forest, black clothes, thunder fire.

A hundred black-clothed guards, a hundred riders, and some workshop workers were dispatched to build a frame for the orphans of the Feather Forest.

The Yulin orphans will be the regular cavalry of Xia Cheng in the future, and in March, Chen Jian was ready to distribute the stirrups to form a real shock cavalry.

These orphans were trained in equestrianism from an early age, and after owning stirrups, riding horses was much easier for the farming people.

Featherwood Orphan's primary weapon is a spear for a short time, which can be used to dash around enemy flanks or to charge at enemy archers.

The black-clothed guards remained unchanged, and the combat methods were still based on chariot impact and foot armor impact, the training was rigorous, the personal ability should be strong, the riding skills were not high, and only need to learn to ride a horse, and when necessary, they would maneuver on the battlefield as a mounted infantryman.

The Thunder Guards were a new professional army, which mainly practiced throwing ignition grenades, learning gunpowder knowledge, practicing a set of movements with bamboo pipes before the appearance of arquebuses, and practicing loading methods with wood before the appearance of copper cannons.

This unit is basically composed of young people who have completed their enlightenment education, and must first become familiar with the sound of gunpowder explosions and get used to the smoke of the battlefield, so that they can serve as instructors and gunners when new weapons appear.

These three professional units and the Chinese volunteer forces constitute the military structure of the Xia State in the future, and it can be seen that there is a huge problem in it: if the artillery and arquebuses are not successful, the Xia army lacks long-range projection capabilities.

It takes two or three years to make a double-curved bow and five to seven years to train a qualified archer, which is terrifying.

In Jian Chen's plan, when he set out on the expedition, he temporarily used the allies of the servant army and the two cities of Ewei as long-range projection troops.

This is complemented by a large number of irregular cavalry that can be used to threaten enemy projectile troops, or to mobilize enough infantry to guard the archers.

This irregular cavalry could not be off-duty because it could not afford to raise it, and it also needed to be familiar enough with the horses for long-term contact.

Therefore, Yangguan in the three counties of Xia County needs to be a little special.

The system of lisi near Yangguan is still enforced, and unlike the rest of the counties, there are fewer cattle and more horses.

In order to protect the steppe and ensure the co-optation of the small settlements of the steppe and the war against the large settlements, it is necessary to ensure a large number of irregular cavalry, which can only be obtained from Yangguan.

There were some escaped slaves from the steppe in Yangguan, and they would ride horses. There are also some savage professional slave hunting clans attached to Xia City, who have also learned to ride horses over the years, and they have followed the white horses to the grasslands to raid all year round in recent years, and their skills have become more and more proficient.

The regular shock cavalry could only use old and new Xiacheng people or fugitive slave workshop workers, who were already familiar with discipline and rules, while the unregular riders who had good equestrian skills, extremely poor discipline, and personal bravery, but could not confront the Ge Spear phalanx and regular cavalry head-on, had to rely on the yeoman farmers who relied on horses to cultivate in Yangguan.

Blood taxes and horses were used in lieu of normal duties such as taxes, forced labor, and digging canals.

All the registered population living in Yangguan County, each household has a horse that has passed the inspection, so they do not have to pay any taxes, the state provides a part of the weapons and equipment, and the rest is their own, when digging canals and serving in other counties, what they have to do is to cultivate and military training during the slack time.

If necessary, they can quickly organize a group of irregular cavalry, and it is not enough to charge into battle, but it is possible to harass the rear of the enemy's flank and plunder the steppe tribes.

With this change in the military system, it is foreseeable that Xia Cheng's combat effectiveness will decline within three years.

The backbone has been dismantled, and new conscripts have just been trained. In the event of a large-scale war, it is still necessary to mobilize those who were originally working, which is why Chen Jian won three years of recuperation by compromise.

Relying on the huge and terrifying population base and the prestige of winning the previous sneak attack, it was ensured that the rest of the people could not see through the weakness of the Xia Kingdom's military strength in three years. Three years later, the first batch of conscripts has completed their training, and the follow-up forces will be replenished in a steady stream, which will not affect normal labor production.

Along with the reform of the military system, education reform is carried out.

Within three years, it is necessary to tighten the belt and suck blood vigorously to ensure the enlightened education of minors, so that the school can be gradually formalized.

Before the age of fourteen, minors must complete an enlightened education: in addition to literacy and arithmetic, they also need to be trained from an early age in queues, discipline, listening to whistles, holding spears, and so on.

There are three paths to follow after enlightenment.

Establish Taixue. If you are particularly good, you can call Chen Jian Mr., and set up a special school to learn some more profound and complex knowledge.

Establish a division of learning. Slightly worse, as a junior college student, agriculture, soldier, doctor, etc., do not need to know why, only need to know what it is, become a specialized technocrat, and then pass the assessment to become a formal official or choose one of the best to continue studying.

Just those who have completed their enlightenment education and serve directly as soldiers. After the end of the service, the Department of Planning and Statistics will arrange whether to work or go to the division to become a farmer, a professional soldier, or a junior officer according to the meritorious service.

The vast majority of the grassroots officers are composed of young people from military classes, and the population of the cities is not too large, and the cost of supervision and management is not high, which can ensure the smooth implementation.

Curb the lineage of military aristocrats, ensure that the ascent channel is not blocked before unification as much as possible, and turn how to fight into textbook knowledge rather than a secret before the family.

These problems will become easier with the advent of paper and the study of printing.

The various grass-roots officials above the Lisi who instructed the agricultural hours, collected taxes, forced learning, trained soldiers, taught children, and so on, needed at least 200 to 300 people in Xia City, which was the minimum.

The school education in the previous years can ensure the most basic needs, and after waiting for another two years and waiting for the largest number of school children to complete their studies and use paper, they can breathe a sigh of relief in the talent system.
