Chapter Eighty-Six: Growth

Jiuzhou City Imperial Government Council, Ministry of Officials.

In the early three years of the Yuan Dynasty, the spring had just begun, but the climate in Liangzhou had already warmed up.

The influence of the origin tree is becoming more and more obvious and direct. If a few years ago, Liangzhou, which had just started spring, had a harsh climate that would never be lost in the middle of winter.

After the Shangyuan Festival, the spring sun shines brightly, which makes people warm, but it also produces a kind of laziness.

At this time, inside the gate of the official department, groups of scribes and students came out. In groups of three or five, some of them looked depressed and hung their heads silently. Some are in high spirits and high spirits.

Cao Cao's face was indifferent, and he and Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others slowly walked out of the crowd.

Looking back at the gate of the magnificent official department, and then at the scribe students with different expressions around him, he couldn't help but smile suddenly.

"Wenruo, Zhongde."

Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled: "I didn't expect that I, Cao Mengde, would have such a day." ”

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were slightly stunned, and they immediately shook their heads and smiled.

"Competing with these students for the position of county commander, tsk, Brother Meng De, we are really embarrassed." Xun Yu looked helpless.

"No shame, no shame."

Cao Cao laughed: "I think I'm much younger!" ”

The rest of them were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

The three of them are actually qualified to be assessed as a higher-level central official. I don't want to say any important official positions, but at least I can get a good position in various departments under the Government Council.

However, only when he was released as a landlord could he be allowed to display his abilities.

And the potential is much greater! The county commander, the county guard, the state pastor, and finally entered the center of the empire, and rightfully fought for the position of chief assistant!

If you have been nesting in the central departments of the empire and have no chance to show your abilities, when will you be able to come out?

Therefore, even Cao Cao, Xun Yu and other figures have chosen the county order assessment to compete with many students who graduated from academies and the power of the people.

Now that the results are out, Cao Cao is going to be transferred to the frontier of Youzhou Liaobei and become a county commander. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu both have to serve as county commanders in the coastal areas of Jizhou.

In addition to Cao Cao, there are also Liu Bei, Fu Zhu, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and other people who are already famous in the world.

As for the rest of the many celebrities, they couldn't pull off that face and went to the local county magistrate. Most of them chose to stay in the ministries of the central government.

Every man has his own choice, and he cannot force it.

If they can't pull this face, it will be difficult to say what the future will be.

Not far from Cao Cao and the others, Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Cui Jun, Meng Jian and Zhuge Liang, these five people, also gathered together.

These are all really talented people, and this time they have also passed the assessment, and they must be delegated to various places as county orders.

Zhuge Liang was full of energy, this was an assessment of his true ability, and the appointment he received made him feel very down-to-earth.

"Xiao Liangzi, don't be swaying, you're too excited, aren't you?"

Xu Shu smiled.

"Hmph." Zhuge Liang is young after all, only sixteen years old.

"Stay!" Zhuge Liang glared at Xu Shu and said, "Please call my cousin Kong Ming, and then scream, be careful that I turn my face!" ”

"Uh" Xu Shu and the four of them couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed.

Zhuge Liang had just passed the guò assessment, and he was full of spirit for a while, and he felt that he had to make a county order, and he should have a table word, so he turned his heart and gave himself a table word.

"Kong Ming, well, Zhuge County Order, Mr. Hu is also called by this name!"

"I just think it's a good word." Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Mr. Hu should be happy, there will be a person who can become the emperor's assistant, the same as him!" ”

Xu Shu and the four of them looked at each other.

"Well, I don't know how Pang Tong is in the army now," Zhuge Liang muttered.

And not far from Xu Shu and the others, there were also two people who were talking in a low voice.

One of them is Liu Bei, and the other is Sima Yi.

Liu Bei sighed and shook his head: "I didn't expect to be able to pass the guò assessment, alas" He was a little frustrated.

Sima Yi frowned and said, "Should it be not?"

It really shouldn't.

Although Liu Bei is not a scholar, because of his character, once he chooses one thing, he will not give in. Earlier, Liu Bei decided to assess the county order and release him as an official. Therefore, for a period of time, it stands to reason that I have been able to learn all kinds of related knowledge.

Sima Yi is very clear about this.

Because he had exchanged knowledge with Liu Bei in this area.

But unexpectedly, Liu Bei was not able to pass guò, and was unexpectedly appointed to the Ministry of Communications to do a job.

In this way, the earlier plan was frustrated.

It's Sima Yi, but it's through the assessment, but the place where it is released is in Liangzhou. Quite at odds with his thoughts.

This time, the official assessment of the empire was mostly aimed at the characters under the command of the major princes at the beginning.

It's a special assessment.

In the future, the promotion assessment of officials should be clearly divided into two parts.

The first is promotion, which is within the government and is linked to the performance of officials in various places.

The second is the assessment of new officials, which opens up a promotion channel for students who have graduated from the college.

In terms of timing, it will be staggered.

Officials are promoted at the end of the year.

The new officer is assessed at the beginning of the year.

Compared with the evaluation of officials in government affairs, the evaluation and appointment of military officials were completed last year.

Originally, the generals under the command of the princes were all appointed.

Those who were not good at commanding the commanders all stayed in the center of the empire and were appointed as middle and low-level generals of the Son of Heaven's garrison. For example, Dian Wei, such as Xu Chu, such as Zhou Tai.

Those who are good at charging into battle are all delegated to the hands of the various divisions, and the commanders of each divisions are appointed by themselves.

Those who are good at commanding troops will be appointed in detail.

From the commander, the military to the captain, the high and low are different.

For example, figures such as Zhou Yu, Cao Ren, Wen Ping, and Lu Yi are mostly generals with the rank of captain.

For example, characters such as Gao Ran and Cao Chun are mostly military candidates.

Those who are one level lower than them are all tun chiefs.

And like Sun Ce, Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong and other first-class fierce generals, they all chose to enter the war cavalry army.

Nowadays, there are already those who have inspired the spirit of war, and have become middle and low-ranking officers in the war cavalry unit.

Speaking of combat spirit, Li Zheng now synthesized the various situations of the war cavalry troops, and after communicating the guò system, he came up with a general system.

The stimulation of battle qi, in addition to the need to reach the point of tacit understanding with the war horse, and get that little bit of aura from the war horse.

There is one more important criterion.

That is the su zhì of the war cavalry itself, to be strong enough!

The minimum standard is to reach a thousand catties of strength. Those who did not reach this number were not able to stimulate the fighting spirit. And those who reach this number must form a deep tacit understanding with the war horse, so as to have a chance to stimulate the battle spirit.

And when it is excited, it is mostly when it is fighting.

In the midst of fierce battles, there is a greater opportunity to stimulate the fighting spirit.

In addition, the stronger the strength, the stronger the battle spirit inspired, and the deeper the foundation.

Li Zheng estimated that if he could exercise the strength to the point that he had more than 3,000 catties of strength at hand, the membrane would be able to resist ordinary knives and guns without hurting a single bit, and then stimulate the battle qi at this time, it would be the most perfect!

In this way, after stimulating the fighting spirit, the future development potential will be greater.

After Li Zheng got this inference, he immediately spread it all over the army.

He hopes that the soldiers under his command can have a better foundation and deeper potential, and can become stronger with him.

Therefore, characters like Sun Ce have been suppressed, and it is not until recently that they naturally stimulate the spirit of war.

More than a dozen of them are the strongest generals of this era. The original physical strength and strength are all inhuman beings. But most of them are not yet 3,000 catties of strength, and they have not exercised the epithelial skeleton in place. It wasn't until he entered the army and practiced physical enhancement that he improved by leaps and bounds and reached this standard.

But in the entire army, there are not many soldiers who can be like Sun Ce and others, and then stimulate their fighting spirit when they have a perfect foundation.

One is extremely dangerous on the battlefield, and every extra strength gives him an extra chance to save his life.

In order to exercise the body to that level, reasonable exercise methods are indispensable, and diet must also keep up, which Li Zheng's conditions in the army are all met. But it also has to do with a person's qualifications. Some people have great potential, and after the conditions are met, it is easy to practice that kind of process.

But some people can't do it for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, if it can stimulate the fighting spirit, it will be stimulated, and few people can make up their minds to suppress it.

So often do things, many people know how to do it perfectly, but because of one reason or another, they can't do it. Or the willpower is not enough, you can't persevere, or there is no hope, and there is nothing you can do.

By the beginning of the spring of the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, nearly 80,000 war cavalry troops under Li Zheng's command had inspired a strong man with a fighting spirit, and it had reached 15,000 people!

Among them, the largest number of marine cavalry was 11,000.

The Sky Warriors had the smallest number of men at fifteen hundred.

The number of sea-covering cavalry was in the middle, with 2,500 men.

These fifteen thousand people are now the mainstay of the emperor's ** team.

Often, wherever there is danger, as long as these strong people go, they can be well solved. No matter how bad it is, it can be guaranteed not to deteriorate.

The cooperation between the three major cavalry types of the sea, land and air forces is the biggest reason for suppressing the fierce beast.

And the existence of the war spirit is gradually spreading to the people.

Because when the war cavalry is chasing and suppressing the fierce beast, in the face of a crisis, they will often break out in battle. This phenomenon was witnessed by the people, and they were all discussed.

Because it's too mysterious.

It's hard to understand the glow of redness.

In addition, Li Zheng did not prohibit these rumors, so the people also knew about the existence of the war spirit.

I also know that it is precisely because of the power of war qi that the empire can completely suppress the fierce beast.

On the contrary, it has made the people more stable, and it has also made people's enthusiasm for joining the army even higher.

There are not many people who can resist the temptation of great power

In the autumn of the third year of the early Yuan Dynasty, Jizhou and Youzhou were all settled, and the people who moved to the country obtained the first bumper harvest.

The defense line along the coast and in the north has been completely stabilized.

Although there are occasional incidents of fierce beasts attacking the defense line, the imperial army is completely capable of coping. The main reason is that the evolutionary beast did not hit the battle line.

The reason for this is impossible to guess. But as long as it doesn't happen, that's a good thing.

After the two states settled down, the official issued a decree on the land contract between the two states.

Under Li Zheng's rule, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and although some people from these two states had migrated to the past, to be honest, it was often difficult to see people within a hundred miles.

And these lands cannot be wasted. So it's a good choice to go down. It's like contracting pastures and farms.

These barren lands are divided into farms and contracted to people and merchants who are interested in this way. Let them develop these land resources.

Because of the stability of the two states, many people have the idea of contracting farms.

Now that everyone is rich under Li Zheng's rule, and when they contract farms, they can also take out loans in the gold bank, so why not do it?

Subsequently, the imperial government issued a decree to encourage childbearing.

The empire is sparsely populated, and this is a hard wound.

There is so much land, but no one has developed it, which is really helpless. Only when the population goes up can the empire really prosper.

The decree to encourage childbirth also includes a number of benefits.

On the basis of one, for each additional child, regardless of gender, the official bears 30% of the maintenance costs. Two more, one more, and so on. In addition, the government will cover the full cost of education and medical care. (To be continued.) )
