Chapter 561: Transition

After a little organization, the elite sergeants carefully selected from the local army will be sent to the newly built recruit training camp outside Bianliang City, where they will be trained and reorganized into an army. 》 After being retrained and re-armed, he was sent to garrison the border line and became an elite garrison border army.

The remaining sergeants selected by the local army were all reorganized on the spot. The old and infirm were all disenfranchised, given money and goods to go home, and those who had no land were given waste land that had lost their owners to cultivate.

The rest of those who were less than superior and more than inferior were likewise disqualified from the military and all of them were transferred to local administrators. Become a local garrison, that is, a government officer. On weekdays, it is to maintain local law and order.

It wouldn't be long before the size of the army, which was supposed to be in the millions, quickly slimmed down. After removing the gaps in the food that the generals at all levels had to eat, most of the remaining sergeants did not meet the standards required by the victorious army. This is also something that can't be helped, this country has been peaceful for too long, at most, what kind of strong combat power can the garrison army stationed in the place where it deals with the bandits be?

A small number of sergeants who can fight are basically in the border areas. Although it is said that they are not the opponents of the Jurchens, they can still fight! Unlike the local areas in the interior, most of the army fled with their heads in their hands when they saw the Jurchen banner. I don't even have the courage to fight.

When Wanyan Zongwang went south twice in a row, the number of people never really exceeded 100,000. If the Song ** people he met along the way were all united and desperately resisted. Then it was impossible for Yan Zongwang to have the opportunity to get close to Bianliang City. Even Wanyan Zongwang didn't dare to go south at all! The endless sea of people was enough to drown all the Jurchens.

An army without the will to fight simply has no need to exist. They don't do anything but waste food.

After selecting a few elites, most of the local Xiang troops and the Dumen Forbidden Army who were stationed in rotation were dismissed. Keeping them in the army is just making everyone unhappy.

When the size of the army decreased, so did the astronomical military spending. In addition, Gao Yang also carried out a slimming action against the official system with hundreds of thousands of people, and clarified a large number of professional parasites. The huge financial expenditures that almost brought down the entire Song Dynasty gradually showed signs of improvement.

In order to restore the normal functioning of the financial system, the banknotes that are equivalent to waste paper are recovered. Gao Yang directly filled the treasury with a large amount of copper coins and a small amount of gold and silver as ballast.

In this era, copper coins were used for transactions in production and life. The kind of thing on TV and movies that directly pays for food with silver ingots simply can't happen. Larger transactions will be used to pay money, and finally gold and silver will be used.

Of course. It is impossible for Gao Yang to keep filling in the treasury by himself. It's not that he can't fill it, but if a country wants to function normally, it must have a reasonable and virtuous cycle of autonomy.

On the fiscal side, efforts should be made to achieve a minimum balance between revenue and expenditure. Until the world is completely pacified, the drastic reduction in tax revenue can only be supported by Gaoyang for the time being. Similarly, a large amount of various material expenditures have been paid by Gao Yang. Not only money, but more importantly, all kinds of production and living materials.

All aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation must be taken into account. There must be food to eat, cloth to clothe and keep out the cold, salt and iron, charcoal, and all kinds of consumables.

Of course, the most important thing is food. The people live on food. As long as they can eat a full stomach, the people of the farming nation will really be easily satisfied. It's hard to do something that defies violently.

The biochemical warriors who had been sent out to the Americas in search of seeds returned in an atmospheric shuttle. They brought back large quantities of seeds of potatoes and corn that were urgently needed by Gao Yang. These are seeds that have been cultivated by the local Maya people for many years and can be planted on a large scale. It's not wild.

When the Biochemical Warriors arrived in the Americas, the Mayans, who had dogs as their biggest source of meat, were dumbfounded when they saw a huge roaring shuttle falling from the sky.

The Mayans, who were extremely god-worshippers, worshipped the biochemical warriors as gods. It's all too easy to get a lot of seeds. After the departure of the cyborg warriors, the priests, who were already unconscious, tortured their own people even more frantically. However, these have nothing to do with Gao Yang for the time being.

Potatoes and corn are extremely high-yielding crops, but they are extremely laborious. If you don't use chemical fertilizers, you have to plant for a year, and you have to rotate for a year.

Goyang has no plans to use chemical fertilizers on a large scale now. Just kidding. The damage to the land is so great, will you still be able to plant the land in the future? Besides, the current population is not so terrifying, and it has not yet reached the era of using chemical fertilizers to induce production.

Of course. Gao Yang also left extremely detailed information, and chemical products are available on the science and technology tree. In the future, I will study it slowly, anyway, Gao Yang doesn't have time to do this.

At the same time as the reorganization of the army, Gao Yang had already begun to gradually arrange those biochemical soldiers into the army in a planned way. When the time is right, it will be promoted step by step. It is also necessary to disperse to the newly built colleges in various prefectures and cities, which is the seed left by Gao Yang for this era.

It's not that Gao Yang is too cautious and cautious, it's that he can't take the huge risk that his hard-earned efforts will be ruined by unknown reasons!

Whatever you want to protect. Or want to achieve something. Force is the most important and the only option that can be achieved.

Gao Yang wanted to ensure that after he left, this plane would still be able to move in the direction he predetermined, so he had to put force in the hands of someone he trusted. The Biochemical Warrior is definitely the person Gao Yang trusts the most.

As for the bureaucratic system, without the support of force, what can the officials do? Hundreds of years ago, when were those literati and doctors so arrogant in the five generations!

The officials in Bianliang City are all much more honest. Every day is quietly busy with their own things, commuting to and from work on time, and no one dares to say more and do more.

The most cheerful streams of the past have all died down. Even if you drink in the hook bar, you don't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Even if Gao Yang monopolized the power, the things that coerced the Son of Heaven to order the candidates were done so obviously. There was no uninteresting guy who jumped out and pointed at Gao Yang's nose and scolded.

The reason is very simple, the literati and doctors rely on the greatest dependence for their livelihood, and the creed that the Great Song Dynasty has been following since the founding of the People's Republic of China was broken by Gao Yang. During this time, it is not known how many large turbans have fallen under the ring head knife.

After the loss of the amulet, all the literati doctors came to their senses. A mouthful is never an opponent of a knife. In such a situation, who would dare to mess around? That Yan Wang is really ruthless, and he doesn't blink an eye when he kills people!

Moreover, after more than 20 years of unremitting efforts by Zhao Ji. The upright people and gentlemen in the court have long been extinct, and a very small number of ministers such as Li Gang and Zhang Shuye are very discerning and know that what Gao Yang is doing is good for the country!

As for the officials whose interests have been harmed, they do not have the courage to oppose them. They are not righteous ministers, so they dare not oppose it, they dare to fight.

Without the obstruction of these civil officials, everything in the Gao Yang plan went very smoothly. Gao Yang also had no idea of meddling in the normal operation of the huge bureaucratic system. He doesn't have that much energy to do these things.

As long as it can maintain normal operation, when a new generation of students who have been educated by the higher education institutions started by biochemical warriors in various places come out in the future, the tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years will naturally be slowly changed and eventually completely broken. It's going to take a long time, but it's the first step.

Who has the most people in Bianliang City? Some people may say that it is the largest number of people in the metropolitan gatekeeper army. There is some truth to this, and there are indeed quite a few of them. It's just that the largest number of craftsmen in Bianliang City are craftsmen.

In fact, the metropolitan gate army can also be regarded as one of the craftsmen, in order to survive in this bustling city, almost all the metropolitan gate soldiers will learn a craft to support their families. It can be said that hundreds of thousands of the Gatekeeper Army will do anything except not know how to fight!

This is all forced by life, and the consumption life in this world's most prosperous city is very high. If you want to live in such a high-consumption place for many years, how can you not make money to support your family?

Fight? Can that be exchanged for money? If you don't have money, you can't starve to death? There is no pension insurance here! Wife and children, the whole family is waiting for dinner!

In the winter, these craftsmen have nothing to do, except to work on construction sites outside the city to earn some money, that is, to stay at home all day.

Gao Yang didn't want to let them be idle, especially those blacksmith craftsmen. They are arguably the best workers of our time. Under such simple production conditions, the simplest tools can be used to produce handicrafts that can be admired by future generations even after a thousand years!

Gao Yang didn't want to waste these good crafts that had been passed down from generation to generation. A large piece of land was opened up outside the city near the Bianhe River, and the factory building was simply built with color steel plates. Simple tools and large quantities of raw materials brought from modern time and space were delivered. When the craftsmen come over with their own things, they will be able to start work immediately.

Use the Bianhe River on the side to drive the hydraulic press to do forging. Steel furnaces with high melting points, high-temperature coke, and a variety of tools that were like artifacts to the craftsmen soon produced a wide variety of materials on a large scale.

This is the great legacy that Gao Yang has left for the country. What you can produce by yourself will always be 10,000 times better than what you spend money buying!

It's like in modern time and space, the three will never become a great power. Without something of your own, it's nothing! (To be continued.) )
