Cults are not allowed to be careless, and if they are allowed to develop, the harm they will do can be imagined. Zhao Yan paused and continued: "In addition, there will be a reward for reporting, and anyone who reports illegal missionaries will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and if there is a major crack, it will be gradually raised, with a cap of three hundred taels. At the same time, a sound whistleblower protection system has been established, and whistleblowers can request police protection at any time and can freely choose to emigrate to overseas colonies. ”

"In addition, the police in various localities have stepped up their crackdown on illegal religious organizations, and no illegal religious forces are allowed to exist in Shandong, and at the same time, no underworld organizations and local tyrants are allowed to exist." Zhao Yan went on to say that it is now necessary to further sort out Shandong.

At present, the most harmful bandit in Shandong has been eliminated, and the target of Zhao Yan's attack has shifted from bandits to illegal religions, that is, underworld forces and local tyrants who oppress the localities.

It is often said that the underworld is a complementary force of the government, but this is a phenomenon born in a dark environment, if it is a country full of light, there is no need for the underworld to supplement anything, the official is enough to solve everything.

Zhao Yan is fed up with the dark system, and his ideal country is a country where everyone does not need money to go to school, no money for medical care, a house to live in, no cramming education, and everyone has a fair chance.

Although there is no absolute fairness in this world, it does not prevent people from creating a system that is as fair as possible internally, so that every citizen does not need to be unable to receive the same education because of money, and citizens will not be unable to receive higher education because of cramming educational achievements, so that they will not be able to give full play to their talents and potentials, and will not let citizens die of illness because of lack of money, and will not let citizens have no right to speak, so that they cannot express themselves in difficult situations.

As long as this can be done, a country will inevitably be strong, and a strong country itself can avoid being bullied and oppressed by foreign enemies, but to squeeze other countries.

Between countries, there is no fairness, only naked interests.

If we want to win in the struggle between the country and the nation, we must strengthen ourselves, and we must be strong materially and the people's will will be the basic structure of a strong country.

Zhao Yan found that his current strength was still very weak.

Although he was confident that he would defeat any enemy on the battlefield, it was impossible for him to swallow Da Ming in one go, he didn't have so many troops, and he didn't have so many officials to manage.

Nowadays, we must first run Shandong well and operate it to an ideal state, and then promote this model to various provinces through the personnel we have trained.

Suppress the bandits first, and then the underworld.

As for the Western Three Provinces, it is obvious that they cannot be managed by the methods of the Eastern Three Provinces, because there are many landlords in the Western Three Provinces, and most of those lands are controlled by the landlords.

In such a situation, Zhao Yan could not exercise complete control.

First of all, tenants are not easy to manage, then training is not easy to train, and then many landlords are still a privileged class, and these need to be solved slowly.

Of course, landlords can exist, after all, the production of small peasants and small households is not high, but the amount of land owned by landlords must also be limited, let alone any tax exemption.

At present, Zhao Yan has laid a territory in Liaodong and swallowed North Korea, and the demand for land in Shandong has been greatly reduced, but the problem still needs to be solved.

What a long way to go!

After listening to Zhao Quan's report, Zhao Yan took a bath and immediately went to preside over the burial ceremony, and the ashes of more than 100 fallen soldiers were sent to the martyrs' cemetery in the solemn expressions of everyone.

On the battle monument of this group of fallen soldiers, the four big characters of 'Constitutional Heroes' are engraved, and the name of each fallen soldier is engraved.

The family members of the martyrs tearfully took the silver from Zhao Yan's hands, although they were sad, they were also proud.

How can there be no dead in a war, even if it is the victorious side, it will also have to pay a certain price, but Zhao Yan has waged wars before, and the soldiers who have lost are very few.

The heaviest loss was the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Shandong Army, which was ambushed by Zhang Xianzhong, and more than 300 people fell in the valley that time.

The battles with the most losses in the whole process were still in Liaodong and Korea, where nearly 500 soldiers have been killed so far.

The reason why there are so few people who die is that they have taken the line of elite soldiers, and second, they have advanced firearms and good combat coordination, and each aspect is the key.

Nearly 30,000 taels of pension was issued, 30,000 taels is a lot of money in other places, but in the war, it is only a small amount of money, and a pension of 300 taels can make all soldiers lose their worries.

In the tall martyrs' monument, the names of these fallen soldiers are also engraved one by one.

After the flower offering, Zhao Yan began to present medals.

The medal awarded this time is the 'Constitutional Medal', and it is customary for every soldier who participated in the battle to receive a commemorative medal.

After each war, each soldier receives a commemorative medal corresponding to that war, which represents that person who fought in such and such a war. Soldiers who have made meritorious contributions are awarded special medals.

The Constitutional Medal, the back is a fair scale book, to represent fairness and the "Ming Law", the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the front is the corresponding pattern of the commemorative medal and the meritorious medal.

As for rewarding meritorious deeds, Zhao Yan didn't reward anything, because this time it was a civil war. Only medals were given to those who made meritorious contributions, and medals were also given to those who did not make meritorious contributions.

When to give money and when not to give money, Zhao Yan knows very well in his heart.

This time it was a fight for the constitution and a fight with the imperial court. If you get the money, will you need money to fight the next time?

It is reasonable not to reward money, as long as the education committees of each battalion publicize it, and use some great words to completely eliminate the complaints of the soldiers.

And in foreign wars, it is a war dividend, just like fighting monsters and exploding gold coins in the game, and the soldiers who contribute are divided into a small part, which should be, so that the soldiers also have positive surnames.

This war is different, this time it is not for Zhao Yan, but for the nation, but also for yourself, if this is a reward, next time it comes to such a moment, it will naturally have to give money, and in the end it will only raise a group of troops who fight for money.

After finishing these, Zhao Yan announced that he would participate in the war, and the battalions would have a three-day holiday after the meeting.

At the same time, he called Song Shijin, the commander of the recruit battalion, and ordered Song Shijin: "After the holiday, the 30,000 township warriors transferred from Yingzhou will be directly transferred to the recruit camp for training. ”

"Yes, General." Song Shijin saluted in response, and then asked, "Please instruct the general, what kind of troops are these 30,000 people trained into?" ”

"Musketeers, cavalry, according to their own conditions." Zhao Yan said.

"Yes."

Now that there are insufficient troops, the time has come again for the expansion of the army. The combat effectiveness of the township warriors transferred from Yingzhou is still good, and they can go into battle after being transferred to the recruit camp for training for a period of time.

When the army was expanded, it was obvious that the current establishment was no longer applicable, and the follow-up problems were all problems to be solved.

After being busy for most of the day, Zhao Yan didn't return home until nightfall. Zhang separated Yuan'er and Shalena, and said to Zhao Yan: "Yan'er, this year has also passed the period of filial piety, it's time to marry a girl and let the mother hold her grandson." ”

"Hmmm! Well! Zhao Yan didn't speak, just nodded while listening.

Zhang Shi showed a happy smile on his face, and continued: "I think the daughter of Governor Yan's family is good, not only has the demeanor of everyone's ladies, but also knows how to be knowledgeable, and knows how to be filial. ”

Zhang's naturally felt that it was nine out of ten, and she could see at a glance what Yan Yuyao, the little girl, meant to Zhao Yan, and her son was strong, so it was naturally impossible not to be impressed by Yan Yuyao's beauty.

However, to Zhang's surprise, Zhao Yan suddenly changed his tone, only to see him muttering: "This...... For the sake of children, let's wait! It's not too late to talk about this in a few years. ”

"You kid, don't worry about what time it's now! Your father got married when he was seventeen years old, look at yourself, he is twenty-one years old this year, besides, you can wait, other people's daughters can't wait! In a few years, this girl won't know which kid she was married to. Zhang's sense of crisis is very strong, and he said sourly. Suddenly, Zhang sighed and said, "Your mother's body is not good, if you wait any longer, you won't be able to hold your grandson." ”

Zhao Yan opened his mouth, this is too exaggerated! Zhang's is obviously a typical early marriage and early childbearing, and now he is less than forty, what is wrong with his health?

"Mother, since you want to hold your grandson, then I will marry Yuan'er tomorrow." Zhao Yan suddenly said when he saw the wind and rudder, Zhang's face became strange for a while, and he looked at Zhao Yan and didn't speak.

After a long time, Zhang opened his mouth and said: "Although Yuan'er is not from a good background, it can be regarded as her own family, Yan'er, since you want to give Yuan'er a name, this is also okay, then just marry both, Yuyao's daughter is the main wife, Yuan'er is the flat wife, and Shalena is the concubine." ”

The Zhang family opened his mouth and arranged the order, and now Zhao Yan has the status of three wives and four concubines, and he can marry three wives and four concubines.

Among the three wives, one is a regular wife and two are equal wives.

Anyway, there are three places, and Yuan'er, as her own family, is not a big deal to give her the status of a flat wife. As for the concubines, her son can marry as many as she likes, and she doesn't want to care about it.

Today, marrying a concubine does not have to follow the rules set by the imperial court, many rich people have more than a dozen concubines, anyway, they have to be rich.

This is just like the future generations, if you have money, you can have a second wife.

In this era, the second wife is legal, and even further it is N milk, so the court will naturally not care about this idle matter.

"Mother, Yuan'er is her own family, so she naturally wants to be a wife, with the child's current strength, she naturally doesn't need to marry a woman who has no feelings as a wife to envelop anything." Zhao Yan did not agree with Zhang's arrangement.

There is nothing wrong with three wives and four concubines, but Zhao Yan does not need to use the position of the wife to envelop any forces, who will sit in this position, it is naturally determined according to the depth of feelings, and the deepest relationship with Zhao Yan is still Yuan'er, since the crossing, she has been by his side and takes care of his daily life.

"Yu Yao has also been in Zhaojiabao for more than half a year, and she still helps you take care of your official business, is this considered emotionless?" Zhang asked.

"Naturally, there is no deep affection for Yuan'er." Zhao Yan replied truthfully.
