Now Duan Zhong is in a hurry, although he was just a small official in the past, but he is no different from the readers of this era, he is a little bookish, and even a little conservative. At this time, it was like a red-eyed rooster, and he immediately started a debate with Zhang Yitai.

But Zhang Yitai's knowledge is only higher than his, but he overwhelms him, and he is irrefutable. At this moment, Duan Zhongzhong was also angry and angry, blushing and flicking his sleeves thickly, and just ran away angrily.

Zhuang Yi finally found a helper, so he naturally remained neutral, watching the two of them chew words on the side, and from time to time came to a paragraph of classical Chinese, listening to it with relish. Seeing that Duan Zhongzhong ran away, he didn't pay attention to it, but continued to talk to Zhang Yitai about the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of some abacus. With Zhang Yitai's support, Zhuang Yi quietly won the consent of Zu Xiangrong and Yuan Jingsi, and then took out these new things on the occasion of the Yashen in the morning, and after half a day of fierce quarrels, they were finally unanimously approved.

Later, he asked carpenters to make a large number of abacus and use them for the office of the government. Of course, such an advanced thing can also be sold as a commodity, but it is still in the trial production stage and is only for internal use. After several days of teaching, all the officials of the government learned it, and then promoted it to the students of Liucheng Academy, which made Duan Zhongzhong so angry that he refused to come to the government office for a few days, and refused to go to the academy to teach.

This morning, Duan Zhongzhong still didn't come, Zhuang Yi saw that the urging sent someone was ineffective, and after dealing with the business, he simply went to his house to invite him. Thereupon...... There was another battle of words, Duan Zhongzhong shrugged his head and followed out, and the two walked towards the academy while walking, and several guards followed behind.

Walking through a street intersection, he suddenly heard someone shouting, Zhuang Yi turned his head and saw Li Zhiye running from the opposite street corner, and couldn't help laughing: "It's you...... Didn't I tell you, why didn't you report to the government? ”

"Everyone said that they were going to go, but Master Yang said that they would choose a day, and everyone would invite Zhuang Jun'an to gather in the city's restaurant, but Zhuang Jun's envoy was opening a academy, and I was afraid that he wouldn't have time to see us, and it happened that my brother came back from Silla two days ago, so the matter was delayed. Everyone is here today, right over there, and they are about to go to the government to ask to see the military envoy! Li Zhiye pointed across the street.

Zhuang Yi followed the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a group of people standing on the other side of the street, looking this way, and after a little silence, he understood. These people are probably not as simple as seeking officials, and there may be some things related to fields and trade.

"So be it! There seems to be a wine shop in front of you, let's go there and sit down, if you have anything to say, let's make it clear first......"

"That's good...... Please wait a minute, I'll go and ask them to come!" ”

After Li Zhiye finished speaking, he turned around and quickly ran back to the other side of the street to inform him, and the group of people came over with him, and they all stepped forward to salute Zhuang Yi.

"A certain Li Congyou, originally served as a foot soldier in the Liucheng Army in Yingzhou, resigned for more than two years, recently returned from Silla, I heard that Yingzhou was transferred to Lu Long, and I came to see the Zhuang military envoy!" A tall, black-faced man in his thirties walked in front and saluted with his fists folded.

"Yang Deshou, a certain family, was originally the chief secretary of the government, but he was old and frail, and he was embarrassed in every way, and he resigned from his post for two or three years. Now the Zhuang military envoy took office at the beginning of the time to employ people, and clear the household and manage the people, reclamation of the barren tuntian, all are good governance, if we can use small officials such as me, then willing to serve the military envoy. Yang Deshou also stepped forward, and then introduced several small officials such as Fuda, Ye Tianlong, and Mei Shaobai to Zhuang Yi.

"Alright, alright...... Let's go to the front restaurant! This is not the place to talk......" Zhuang Yi invited with a smile.

Everyone immediately went to the Liucheng Restaurant in the south of the city, and it was not the time to eat at this time, so they ordered some pastries, preserved fruits and tea at random, and chatted quite casually. Sure enough, as Zhuang Yi expected, the final topic turned to the future governance policy of Yingzhou.

The household registration has been preliminarily cleaned up, and whoever has how much land and property he has, just check the household registration register, and Zhuang Yi will know, but he doesn't want to pay attention to this matter for the time being. Moreover, Yingzhou only lacks people, and the most important thing is land, and small families also have land to plant. However, tax revenue must be restored in the future, and this will certainly not be collected much.

The important thing is the commercial tax, and some large households and officials in Yingzhou are involved in the business, which is in fact smuggling. This will definitely not work in the future, and all commercial activities must be incorporated into the normal governance system of the government. Of course, Zhuang Yi has not yet issued a formal decree statement, but he is also preparing.

Zhuang Yi and Duan Zhongzhong reassured everyone with kind words, and then let them take up their posts in the government office from tomorrow, and their positions can only be records or scribes for the time being, and they all follow Duan Zhongzhong to the academy to teach or study. As for the two Li Congyou brothers, they were arranged for military positions, after all, they were both martial artists.

Ten days later, it was cold again, and shortly after a winter rain, the first light snow finally fell. Fortunately, the Black Mountain Fort and Wu'an Fort in the north of the city had been completed a few days before the snow, but the military facilities in the military fort were not yet complete, so Zhuang Yi temporarily transferred 100 soldiers to each station, and then increased the manpower until the beginning of spring next year.

When winter comes, government affairs are relatively reduced, the officials have nothing to do, report to the government office every morning, and then go to Liucheng Academy to teach, until dark, and then send the students out of the city, and then arrange to take the big and the small, let them go home by themselves, everything is on the right track, in order.

The number of political affairs decreased, but the armament could not be relaxed, and training began to be strengthened. First of all, there is the issue of the military system, what kind of establishment to use, Zhuang Yi decided to adopt the "two-five system" after careful consideration. In fact, he also thought about the "three-three system", but it was too rigid and a bit rigid, and it was going to suffer a big loss in this era.

Think about it, a squad of 12 people, a platoon of 36 people, a company of 108 people, and a battalion of 324 people, and the battalion, as the most basic independent combat unit, is nearly 200 people less than the 500 people in a battalion in this era, which is completely a disadvantage, and their own soldiers are not fighting with guns and cannons, so it is definitely easy to lose the battle.

However, the military system of this era was not very good, and the establishment was too large, that is, the five battalions were 2,500 men per army, the 10th army was 25,000 men per box, and the left and right compartments were combined into a group army of 50,000 people. This kind of wartime system was completely evolved from the wartime establishment of the feudal towns, although it also had certain advantages, and it was possible to make reasonable troop deployments at any time according to different operational environments.
