Chapter XXVI The Concept of the Framework

Since Cheng Bi was captured, no matter in terms of identity or the influence of the Cheng Bi incident, there is no one in Jimo County who has a higher prestige than Zhao Min, so Zhao Min is also the temporary commander of Jimo County, which also has the opportunity for him to sort out his future development ideas. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info There is another reason for this, because his task system is refreshed again after completing the "beginning" task:

Task Name: Momentum

Duration of the mandate: January

Brief Description: You've done pretty well so far, keep up the good work! Please increase the population of your subordinate forces to more than 10,000 people within a month.

Reward: 50 points

……

This task is simply a gift point for Zhao Min, who has become the actual controller of Jimo, so he only glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it.

Since Zhao Min had already completed the side quest "Searching for the Relic Sage", and there were no other bandits nearby to exterminate him in a short period of time, he simply settled the task of "testing his skills" and got 45 points. This should only count the results of the elimination of three teams, Zhao Min silently calculated in his heart, Xu Mingshan thieves counted one, Beihai dead soldiers and county soldiers pretended to be thieves also counted one, and one should be Cheng Bi's wife and brother's pirates.

"It's a pity that it's not calculated according to the number of people, you must know that the bandits have captured nearly 3,000 people!" Zhao Min smacked his lips and thought a little greedily.

At the same time, the light green side quests have also been refreshed:

Mission Name: Live and work in peace

Duration of the mandate: three months

Mission Description: The people are always the cornerstone of the regime. You already have your own power, but it's not enough, attract no less than 10,000 outcasts to settle in your stronghold within three months.

Reward: 20 points

……

Calculate the points in your hand, 50 for "hoeing and raping", 20 for "searching for relics", 45 for "trying your skills", and 50 for "beginning", and before you know it, you have accumulated 165 points! But what makes people entangled is that this point is still far from the 500 points required to summon talents, and it is a little reluctant to exchange for other rewards, after all, no one knows what will be exchanged, in case of a completely useless one, he will not have to cry to death! Zhao Min shook his head, there is no point in dwelling on this kind of problem, anyway, there is no urgent need for the time being, just let the points be stored for the time being, now it is better to think about the next step of the plan to be realistic.

Zhao Min has a lot of plans in mind, and in his opinion, there are many things that need to be clarified or should be improved. The first thing that needs to be improved is the organizational structure. At present, the personnel structure of Zhao Min's team is barely reasonable, there are Meng Hou, Shao Qi, Xiahou Ying, Xiahou Jie, and Chen Zhen, who doesn't know how to deal with it, has a good attitude in addition to refusing to surrender, and let him do whatever he wants; With Zhao Yun, Wei Ying, and Xu Ming, it is easy to deal with the thousands of sergeants under his control, after all, Zhao Yun's ability alone is enough to command tens of thousands of troops. It's a pity that limited by his own identity, all civil and military positions are vague, and he can only claim to be a staff member and counselor. In Zhao Min's mind, Meng Hou and Zhao Yun are undoubtedly the first people in civil and military affairs, Shao Qi is the secret agent, Xu Ming is the captain of the guard, the Xiahou brothers are in charge of logistics and business, and although Wei Ying's ability is slightly poor, he is also competent if he leads a team of 1,000 people.

"Although it can only be vague on the outside, at least the shelves must be put up on the inside!" Zhao Min said to himself secretly.

The second issue that needs to be addressed is the issue of people's livelihood. Zhao Min had reached an agreement with Cheng Bi that Cheng Bi would hand over the land deeds under his control, the family wealth and private savings of the tenants, and in exchange, he could keep his own life and that of his immediate family. When Zhao Min saw the results of the statistics at that time, he was really shocked: the Cheng family, their relatives and the small and medium-sized Haoqiang attached to them had 200,000 mu of land! You must know that the registered land in Jimo County is less than 700,000 mu, and the Cheng family accounts for one-third of it! This does not include real estate and shops in the city, other villages outside the city, and so on. And the total statistical value of the family property is 8 million yuan, of course, Zhao Min knows that there must be more than this, but after all, there is no deep hatred, although there are ideas and actions, but in the end it does not constitute real harm, so just turn a blind eye and forget it, the so-called life will leave a line to see each other in the future! What's more, eight million is not a small amount, and it is enough to support his current army for more than half a year. The key is that these are now Zhao Min's private property, and it is announced to the public that Cheng Bi committed suicide in fear of crime, and only the symbolic two sets of houses were confiscated for tens of thousands of dollars.

In addition to land and money, the biggest harvest comes from the population. After the filial piety of the emperor, there were many powerful clans in various places to conceal the population, and after the Red Turban Rebellion, this private situation reached its peak! In the first year of Jianxing, that is, two years ago, the heroes of Yanzhou Dongping were found to have deliberately rebelled in the Red Turban Rebellion, and most of the local families were raided and exterminated, and the population of Dongping was doubled! It can be seen that the private population in various places is flourishing. And this time, the population handed over by the Cheng family was as high as 12,000 people! Most of these people are tenant farmers of the Cheng family, and a small number of family members are brave and powerful, and they are considered private soldiers in the family, but unfortunately they were captured by Zhao Min before they could come in handy, and now they are all owned by Zhao Min.

Zhao Min planned to adopt a method similar to that of the military tun to arrange these fields and personnel, according to 100 households for one tun, one tun for 5,000 mu of land, the tun households live in a centralized manner, farm tools, seeds, cattle and other means of production are provided and distributed according to the tun, of course, the specific regulations have to be discussed with Meng Hou and others before making a decision. According to this practice, the captured population, plus the families of the bandits and pirates, as well as all the thieves under the age of 16 and over 40 years old, were disarmed and returned to the fields and incorporated into the tunhu, a total of 20 tun can be compiled.

The tunhu system can solve the logistical problem of the troops, but Zhao Min plans to turn the army into a full-staff recruitment system to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, so that in addition to solving the problem of grain and grass, it is also necessary to take into account the problem of military salaries. Zhao Min is ready to use commercial means to solve the salary. The main business of the Xiahou family was originally grain, seafood and ironware, but now Zhao Min does not plan to sell a grain of grain, and he has prepared two killer tools: brewing wine and making tea.

Naturally, the distillation method used in the distillation method that has been experimented with is used, and the alcohol content is much higher than that of the current water wine, which is sure to be very popular; Drinking tea is also a pastime favored by dignitaries and nobles, but the tea in this era is cooked with raw tea dried and then added with some condiments and spices, and the taste is very weird; Zhao Min is ready to use the way of roasting tea to make a new batch of tea for sale, anyway, the method of roasting tea is extremely simple, the difference is just the difference in taste caused by the heat and tea, no one knows how to taste in this era, as long as you make it yourself, of course, it is a hundred times better than the current so-called tea! I think that with these two fist products, there will be no shortage of rolling money in the future.

In the end, what Zhao Min planned to reform was the military system. The army of the Xia Dynasty all adopted a mixed mode, with pikemen and sword and shield soldiers in a team, and cavalry and archers with conditions were also mixed together. Zhao Min thought that it was feasible to mix in the large army in this way, but his small team of thousands of people was a little unfavorable to command. After all, when there are few people, the pursuit of nature is fine control. After the old and weak among the thieves were cleared out, and then the family members who had obtained from Cheng Bi were added, the total number of troops did not decrease but increased, and it should be about 2,500 people. Zhao Min believed that the most ideal result should be 500 cavalry, 500 archers and 1,000 infantry; It's a pity that the current equipment is limited, and the archers are okay to say, after all, there are a lot of bows and arrows left in the Jimo Mansion Treasury, and if you can't do it, you can still use hunting bows to fill the number, and there are not a few bandits who are good at archery; But war horses are a rare thing, Qingzhou does not produce horses, and there is no war horse in the armament configuration of the imperial court, the nearest horse-producing place from Beihai is in the grassland of northern Liaoning, and the horses transported to Qingzhou every year are not more than 10,000 horses, most of which are horses, and decent war horses will not be sold to more than 100 horses in Beihai, let alone Jimo County. Therefore, Zhao Min's cavalry idea is destined to be a dream.

"You can only assign troops according to the existing weapons and armor!" Zhao Min sighed helplessly.

In the team that traveled along the way, the five hundred tiger ben would have to return to the center sooner or later, and most of the tiger ben soldiers were subordinate people, and it was unlikely that they would stay in Beihai for a long time, so Zhao Min did not plan to move him. As for the five hundred Beihai soldiers led by Zhang Qi, the county lieutenant of Xixian County, they also hurriedly left when the team just stepped into the territory of Jimo, it seems that Zhang Qi was aware of the subtle form between Zhao Min and Lu Xu, for fear of provoking fire, and ran faster than a rabbit. Of the remaining 2,500 men, Zhao Min planned to streamline the troops. After all, it is too expensive to raise such a large group of people; Although it can be raised for the time being, but now that there is no war, why are you consuming food for nothing? Therefore, the final number was to retain a regular force of 1,500 men. Among them, archers (including crossbow archers) should be kept at about three hundred, Zhao Min has an almost pathological preference for long-range suppression, no matter what games he played in the past, they were all long-range, because he enjoyed the pleasure of 'I can beat you, you can't touch me', although he also understands that real war is by no means long-range invincible, but he still can't help but have a preference for long-range troops. In addition, in the battle of the Jiaozhou Bay Pirate Battalion, in addition to the 200 people who were killed, more than half of the family members of the remaining 800 captured people were sent back to Jimo as tunhu, and the occupied pirate camp also needed to ensure that a force was stationed, so simply let the more than 300 pirates stay behind, anyway, they are familiar with the naval battle of manipulating ships, and they will not easily rebel if they have their families in hand.

Si Wencao on Shao Qi's side needs manpower, so Shao Qi has looked for him twice, so he simply selected 100 people from the army to leave the military and supplement Si Wencao, after all, Zhao Min is very clear about the importance of the intelligence system. In addition, his own hundred personal guards could not be moved, because Zhao Min had other ideas about this personal guard. Zhao Min saw Zhao Yun practice several times in military training in this era, and Zhao Min could not evaluate the specific advantages and disadvantages, but he still hoped to have a rapid reaction force that could adapt to diverse battles and outstanding comprehensive capabilities, and the personal guard team was the experimental field prepared by Zhao Min.

In addition, Zhao Min planned to gather the war horses and set up a scout battalion. Although at most we can only put together a team of less than 100 people, on the one hand, the role of scouts in the war is undoubted, on the other hand, these 100 people can also be used as the fire of cavalry in the future, although I don't know when I can pull up a real cavalry, but it is always good to keep a thought!

The remaining 800 men were divided into a sword and shield battalion of 400 men and a spear battalion of 400 men, one as the backbone of the defense and the other as the main offensive force. So far, Zhao Min's barracks construction has a basic framework.

"I've changed the army like this, Zilong and they won't have any ideas, right?" Zhao Min rubbed his chin and thought a little dazed.
