435 Pilot reforms

Early the next morning, Hu Guang began to convene relevant people and others to hold a special discussion on reform.

So far, military administration has actually been practiced in the base areas, and all property is publicly owned. To be honest, it was assigned by Hu Guang.

But this is not a long-term solution, and after a long time, it will become a big pot of rice and lose everyone's enthusiasm. Hu Guang knows this better than anyone else.

Now there is no danger of starvation and freezing to death, and after the initial period of survival, it will easily evolve into the kind of big pot rice in later generations.

Therefore, at Hu Guang's initiative, other major leaders, including Lakshin, who rushed back, agreed to his suggestion and began some privatization and pilot reforms of the system, the main contents of which are as follows:

The field army adopts the military rank system of later generations, and can only be promoted by accumulating enough military merits. Military merit is not measured by the head of the enemy, but by the importance and degree of completion of a tactical or strategic purpose. Of course, those who have made outstanding personal contributions will naturally be considered credit.

The calculation of military merit will also vary according to the enemy faced. For example, the calculation of the amount of credit obtained for the extermination of rogue thieves, grassland horse thieves, the ordinary army of the Ming State, the elite of the Ming State Ding, the Liaodong Jianyu, etc., is different.

After advancing to the next level, the required military merit will be counted from scratch. For example, if a private to a private is two military merits, and a private to a corporal is four military merits, then a private to a corporal needs to be promoted to a private with two military merits, and at the same time the military merit is zero, and six military merits need to be accumulated before he can be promoted from a private to a corporal.

When ordinary people become qualified field army officers, their ranks are counted from privates, while revolutionaries are counted from corporals. Of course, although this can be said to be the prerogative of the revolutionaries, it is more of a responsibility.

Because revolutionaries must lead by example in all aspects, and only when they do this can they become revolutionaries. Naturally, he has the qualifications of a corporal. If the performance is not good, he will be expelled from the party, and he will naturally have to be demoted to a private in the ranks.

Each rank corresponds to a share of land, which is privately owned. However, there is no corresponding treatment for the starting rank, and it can only be enjoyed after promotion.

For example, the private did not. But after the private was promoted to the rank of private, there was one. After a private is promoted to a corporal, he can own a total of the land that the corporal can own. But if he is a revolutionary, he is a corporal at the beginning and does not have the corresponding land, and only when he rises to the rank of sergeant, he can have the land corresponding to the sergeant.

Because at the beginning of the implementation, all military ranks will not have land, and only after the implementation of the military rank system has made the first merit, can the land owned by the military rank be counted.

For example, Hu Hansan and others. Although their military rank was high enough, they did not have land at the beginning, and they needed to go out to fight to gain merit.

If you die in battle before you have time to make meritorious service, you can also get a certain amount of land, which is called a pension.

All land is temporarily exempt from tax, and those who have family members can cultivate it, and those who do not have family members can be counted in the account. However, it is converted into silver taels every year according to the recognized yield per mu. Issued to individuals.

Of course, there's a new rule here. The silver taels issued by the base are not real silver taels, but paper silver taels stamped with special seals, according to the well-known unit of one tael of silver is equal to ten coins, equal to one hundred cents and equal to one thousand copper plates.

In the future, only this currency can be bought and sold in the base area. The relevant details will be further introduced in the future.

Originally, Hu Guang also wanted to promote this kind of reform to all walks of life. For example, apprentices, skilled hands, masters, masters, etc. are divided into labor, and rewards are similar to the military rank system. Think about it later. The steps are too big, and it is easy to pull the eggs. If the stall is spread too wide, it is easy to form a pulp. Therefore, the content of this reform was limited to the field army, and even the local troops were not implemented.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Army was composed of poor and white people, and at the beginning, it was under the public ownership system of military management, and Hu Guang's prestige was high enough that such a reform could be carried out. Otherwise, if Hu Guangsoul wears Chongzhen and wants to carry out such a reform, it is estimated that he will be sprayed to death directly.

As soon as this reform was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation in the base areas. The Chinese people's enthusiasm for land since ancient times made them extremely envious of the officers and men of the field army.

The old man can't wait to be younger, the young man can't wait to grow up quickly, and the thin man can't wait to become strong all of a sudden, only in this way can he hope to join the field army, and he can have his own land, which is still tax-free.

Those soldiers who have now become field troops have suddenly become the sweets in the base area.

No, Private Wang Xiaoer was originally good with Cuihua, but when he went to her house to propose, Cuihua's father said that he would wait. In fact, he was afraid that he would be too dangerous in the field army, and he might let his daughter be widowed at any time and hesitate.

However, as soon as this reform was announced, Wang Xiaoer's family became lively, not only Cuihua's father and mother came, saying that they agreed to the marriage, but other fathers and mothers with school-age daughters also crowded his house, vying to marry their daughters.

Because of this, the training quality of the field army has improved a lot, which made Hu Guang, who originally thought that the training quality of the field army was good, was amazed. And when those officers were training, their mantra changed from "sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime" to "don't train seriously, be careful to kick you out of the field army!" ”

What Hu Guang didn't expect was that the people in the base area were improving very quickly in their ideological realm. Good people and good deeds emerge in an endless stream, and they are vying to be revolutionaries one by one. Because of this, Hu Guang had no choice but to raise the criteria for joining the party and be strict and tight. At the same time, the criteria for quitting the party or expelling from the party were changed so that the revolutionaries could remain sufficiently advanced.

Relatively speaking, Ulan's side is fine, and as the head of the left-behind troops who is also an army, Tana, her pressure has suddenly become very stressful.

If it weren't for the fact that Tana was Hu Guang's wife, the actual leader of the original eagle's beak ditch, and this army was born in Tana's hands, and the soldiers were rescued by the heavenly army because they were trying to survive at the beginning, it is estimated that Tana would not be able to withstand the pressure.

Of course, Hu Guang knew that such a result would come, so shortly after the promulgation of this reform, he announced that cultural examinations would be held in the base areas, and different rewards would be given according to different levels of education.

For example, if you score 60 points in the exam, you will be given priority to join the field army under the same conditions; With a score of 80 points in the examination, priority will be given to joining the revolutionary party under the same conditions; Those who score more than 95 points in the exam, can proficiently use simplified Chinese characters to study various subjects and get good results, can be rewarded with a piece of land.

In this way, the people in the base area do not need to be supervised anymore and consciously start to study. Smelling chickens dancing, hanging beams and thorns, etc., which are rarely seen, have suddenly become commonplace in the base area! (To be continued.) )
