Ye Zuwen and his eldest son Ye Guoxuan only arrived in Jingzhou yesterday, but because Wang Zhenyu was anxious, they didn't care about letting their future father-in-law rest more, so they immediately organized this small meeting.

Chen Shao's reform line book has now been copied in five copies, one copy in the hands of everyone here. Now, all the people are taking a closer look at this jihua book.

Specifically, Chen Shao's general direction of reform is consistent with Wang Zhenyu's, but it is not without difference:

The first is the reform of grassroots organizations, which is basically the starting point of Chen Shao and Wang Zhenyu, both of which are Jihua on the basis of maintaining the original social structure, adding new things to the expansion of Shili. In terms of difference, Chen Shao, like his teacher Wang Minyun, despises businessmen a little, thinking that businessmen are good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and cannot be relied on.

Wang Zhenyu disagrees with this, businessmen are also people, in terms of chasing profits, there is not much difference between them and farmers, otherwise so many farmers can become businessmen? Probably the only difference is in the degree of resoluteness. And even to this extent, it is actually an illusion, and the peasants will not see the wind and rudder? What is peasant cunning? Seeing the wind and making the rudder is a human characteristic, and it has little to do with occupation and class. The merchant Weishenme does not seem to be as reliable as the peasant brothers, not because he is not of bad character, but because he is no longer barefoot, and for those who wear shoes, it is no longer possible to be driven by a little profit like the peasant brothers who are still barefoot. If you want the merchant to follow you like a peasant and resolutely create a situation, then you must be able to impress his interests. And Wang Zhenyu, who has less than 5,000 troops in his hands, no more than one territory, and is only a town guard, can take out the things that fool these shrewd people is really lackluster.

Even the regime in Jingzhou was not enough for the merchants to help. So Wang Zhenyu is playing with a concept, from now on, as long as my Wang Zhenyu's shili is thriving, in my jurisdiction, I will engage in **, I will engage in parliament. For businessmen, this is not only as simple as power, but also a kind of hope, a guarantee of personal and property security.

Now that you have a concept, let's invest, the bigger the investment, the greater the return, of course, the risk will be greater, do you want to reduce the risk? Then fight with Lao Tzu, if nothing else, just to defend the fields that Lao Tzu promised you.

This disagreement had little impact, because Chen Shao's focus was on the county councils: 100 administrative villages were set up within each county, and townships were not established, but only along the commercial (overland) routes. The role of these commercial towns is to purchase all kinds of agricultural products, and to provide all kinds of daily necessities that farmers cannot produce on their own.

What surprised Wang Zhenyu the most was that Chen Shao was still a little different from Wang Minyun, and he actually knew some principles of making a living. You must know that the royal family has always regarded itself as high and despised those who make a living, could it be that Wang Minyun changed his personality when he was old and was ready to abandon Confucianism and engage in business?

First of all, based on Chen Shao's investigation in Jingzhou for nearly a month, a system of rushing to gather was proposed. That is, ten commercial towns are set up within each county, and each town has a school (primary school), a health center, a public security police station and a road protection team, as well as various shops and markets. A small merchant group was set up in every five trading towns, and any merchant was allowed to participate, and a merchant market was held in a trading town every five days. The day-to-day management of the commercial town is the responsibility of the town's chamber of commerce, the public security police station is subordinate to the county government, and the road protection team is subordinate to the superior road protection squadron.

The county council is the highest authority of the county, which is composed of the heads of villages, the mayors of commercial towns, the chiefs of all ethnic groups, and local celebrities, and has the right to vote on the affairs of the county.

Secondly, it takes into account the essence of social stability, that is, the principle that when everyone has something to eat, the world will be stable. A commercial dividend was proposed, and the 40 commercial towns under the Jingzhou government were all responsible for the management of daily affairs, including education, health and town construction. Three-quarters of the commercial and business taxes collected each year shall be retained for one-quarter and one-quarter handed over to the county finance bureaus for distribution.

The self-retained part of the chamber of commerce of each town is divided into three blocks, two of which are paid to the villages within the radiation range of the commercial town set by each county according to the proportion of land area and population. If someone participates in looting or attacking a trade route in a village within the area in that year, the allocation amount of the village for that year will be automatically reduced by half. The cost of robbery was increased by linking the interests of the villages to the safety of the trade routes. At the same time, it also used the method of interest bundling to induce all villages to participate in the protection and construction of trade routes.

At the same time, the prefecture and county took out a sum of money to repair the entire trade road, improve the road condition, and accelerate the efficiency of commodity circulation.

In terms of the construction and management of the county seat, Chen Shao improved the power structure of the parliament:

The part handed over to the county government is transferred to the county treasury by the county council.

The county magistrate is elected by the county council, and the county council reviews the annual budget of each county in addition to the fixed proportion to the prefecture.

The director of the county public security bureau shall be nominated by the county magistrate and appointed and dismissed by the county council.

In terms of judicial independence, Chen Shao suggested the establishment of a supervision bureau and courts, and the adoption of a vertical management model to form effective supervision of local councils and governments from top to bottom. At the same time, it also makes the government face two-way supervision from the parliament and the judiciary at the same time, and in Chen Shao's view, the government is the executive department of Zuihou and the department that directly deals with the people. As long as the supervision of the government is in place, many problems can be solved and many risks can be avoided.

After listening to Chen Shao's statement, Ye Zuwen nodded with satisfaction, and then turned sideways to Wang Zhenyu and said, "Wenzheng, where did you invite such a great talent, what a blessing!" ”

Since the marriage has eyebrows, Ye Zuwen no longer calls General Wang Zhenyu, but calls him by his words. And Wang Zhenyu no longer calls him Mr. Ye, but respectfully calls Ye Weng, claiming to be Wenzheng.

"Ye Weng, this person is the proud disciple of Mr. Wang Minyun of the Wangmen, and now he is waiting to be revived, and it is indeed a blessing for Wenzheng to get a great talent like Mr. Chen Shao......"

Next is the reform on the military proposed by Wan Yaohuang and Xu Yuanquan, after all, the overall situation is basically stable now, although Wang Zhenyu knows that the turbulent times of the Republic of China have just begun, but if he really wants to participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world, he does not want to blindly start a war. You also have to consolidate the existing shili first, stabilize your own foundation, and then dare to take the step of expansion, and finally go to the championship, right?

Wan Yaohuang's suggestion was that the captain of the local security brigade should be directly appointed and dismissed by the security detachment under the jurisdiction of the garrison command.

The Security Brigade is equivalent to an infantry battalion with three squadrons.

The first squadron was the Road Protection Squadron, which consisted of ten squadrons of 140 people. They are stationed in each merchant town, and they are transferred once a year, and are responsible for guarding the patrol of the merchant town and the trade road, and half of them are equipped with cavalry.

The second squadron was a mobile squadron, with five reinforced squadrons of 200 people, all stationed in the county seat, equipped with 200 military horses.

These 340 men were all organized, trained, and reorganized in accordance with the regular military system, and the recruitment of soldiers and the training and appointment of officers were all in the hands of the town guard and the embassy, and strictly speaking, the local strength of these two brigades was not allowed to exceed 50 percent. Where a soldier has served for five years and has not been transferred to a field unit, his whereabouts after the expiration of his term are, first, to be placed in a public security police station or part of the public security bureau on the spot according to actual needs; The second is to recruit into some of the directly affiliated enterprises that may be established in the future, and more are free to enter vocational schools for one year and fend for themselves after graduation. Forty percent of the military salary according to the standard of the regular army is directly paid by the garrison headquarters on a monthly basis, one-quarter of the military salary of the mobile brigade is handed over to the detachment headquarters by the county governments for forwarding, and one-quarter of the military salary of the road protection brigade is handed over to the detachment headquarters by the chambers of commerce of each commercial town for forwarding. The officers of the two mobile brigades must not be more than 25 years old, the officers must not be more than 35 years old, the soldiers of the road protection squadron must not be more than 30 years old, and the officers must not be more than 45 years old.

The third squadron is the Guardian Squadron, which is composed of armed forces from each village, one squad per village, with a regular establishment of four people, the squad leader is appointed by the village chiefs themselves, and the weapons are directly issued by the security detachment. The squadron headquarters and squadron headquarters are located in the county town and the commercial town respectively, and the officers of the squadron headquarters and squadron headquarters are selected from among the demobilized officers and soldiers from the other two brigades of the detachment, and second, they are promoted from among the leaders of each squad according to their combat merits and performance.

The Guardian Squadron participates in a military competition once a year, and the autumn drill in October. According to the standard of the regular army, the county government directly distributes 40 percent of the officers' salaries, while the soldiers' salaries are relatively poor, with only 30 percent, and these expenses are audited by the Jingzhou Prefecture Clean Government Department.

The other two squadrons conduct drills twice a year, in May and October respectively.

Due to the needs of the war, after the field army transferred outstanding soldiers from the mobile squadrons of the security detachments in various places, the temporary gaps that appeared were drawn from the road protection squadrons, and the gaps in the road protection squadrons were drawn from the people's protection squadrons.

After listening carefully to Wan Yaohuang's suggestion, Xu Yuanquan also added an opinion: The mobile squadrons directly under the county security brigades go to the town guard embassy to participate in the drill in March every year.

According to this standard, the number of local armed forces in each county will reach 600, Wang Zhenyu thought about it carefully, and felt that if this amount of troops is maintained locally, it is basically sufficient.

Xu Yuanquan then put forward his opinions on the reform of the field troops:

First of all, in terms of treatment:

The monthly salary for a soldier is 8 yuan, 15 yuan for platoon-level officers, 24 yuan for company-level officers, 35 yuan for battalion-level officers, 48 yuan for regiment-level officers, 63 yuan for brigade-level officers, 81 yuan for division-level officers, and 100 yuan for army-level officers.

For regular positions, 2, 3, 6, 10, 12, 15, 19, and 30 are added according to this standard.

The above is still the same as the treatment system announced by Ma Xicheng when the LTTE was formed, and there are not many changes. But then, Xu Yuanquan's suggestion made Wang Zhenyu frown unconsciously.

The first is the establishment of a military rank allowance: non-commissioned officers will be compensated 5 yuan per month, lieutenants will be compensated 20 yuan per month, school officers will be compensated 60 yuan per month, and generals will be compensated 100 yuan per month.

The second is to set up a family allowance: 10 yuan per month for lieutenants, 30 yuan per month for school officers, and 80 yuan for general officers.

The third is to set up a subsidy for senior officers: 10 yuan per month for officers at the regimental level, 20 yuan per month at the brigade level, 30 yuan per month at the division level, and 50 yuan per month at the army level.

Fourth, double pay in wartime, and the disabled person will be compensated at 12 times the monthly salary standard of the regular post at the level where the employee is located, and at the same time, the civil affairs department of the town guard embassy is responsible for making a register and paying 1 yuan per month for the living expenses of his surviving family.

If there are children, the children are entitled to nine years of free education, and ordinary residents are entitled to six years.

The military academy is divided into the non-commissioned officer department (mainly training officers below the company level, such as platoon commanders, deputy platoon commanders, division chiefs, etc., and selecting from secondary school graduates and active duty soldiers), the infantry command department (training infantry officers above the company level, and selecting and returning from the active company and below the officers according to combat merits and recommendations), the artillery command department and the staff department (training professional military staff officers), and the strategic research school is set up to train military intelligence agents and intelligence analysts.

This is a systems project, not to mention the salary, and the establishment of a military academy alone requires a large number of specialized personnel and a large amount of capital investment. However, what to save, Wang Zhenyu does not plan to save the military school, so the postponement is naturally to postpone the military rank, family, and senior officers, pay attention to postpone rather than cancel, and hope will still be left to his subordinates; As for the wartime double salary, Wang Zhenyu agreed, because this is a must, and he doesn't save anything for his subordinates' hard work.

After Xu Yuanquan recorded Wang Zhenyu's decision, Wan Yaohuang raised the issue of recruiting and training recruits, which in fact Wang Zhenyu had exchanged views with him privately the night before, and in fact Wang Zhenyu also attached great importance to this part.

The recruitment of new recruits adopts a conscription system, with a monthly salary of 4 yuan, a settling-in allowance of 20 yuan, and a six-month period for recruits.

The recruitment and training of new recruits are jointly responsible for the three units of the brigade headquarters: the General Staff Office, the Training Office, and the Armaments Department (the combination of quartermaster and equipment).

The key is that from now on, the recruitment power of the 9th Brigade will be unified from all combat units to the brigade headquarters, and the recruits will know who is the boss of the 9th Brigade from the beginning of training......

The political and military reform plans have a clear direction, Wang Zhenyu looked at Ye Zuwen, and the next economy is the focus of his concern.

Ye Zuwen also looked at Wang Zhenyu, and he also brought two big gifts to Wang Zhenyu when he came this time......
