Recently, because Lu Ji stood out in the first imperial examination and became the youngest leader in Chu State, Lu Kang was in a good mood, and he was obviously a lot happier than before.

If it weren't for the medical school to conduct routine physical examinations on time for these old ministers, Bai Tu would be worried that he would be back to the past......

"I also think about this matter, firstly, I still want the major noble clans to carry forward their spirits, and secondly, ...... I want to form a special army to open up the wasteland in Chu State and screen the source of troops from the second-line army;

The generals will be mainly voluntary, the soldiers will focus on training skills such as tuntian, and the families of the generals can move with the army, and give sufficient compensation and rewards. ”

Bai Tu proposed the establishment of a special corps for the "land reclamation" after expansion......

In addition, among the people, it must also be actively promoted, and Bai Tu is ready to carefully discuss with Xiahou Juan in the evening about encouraging the development of opera repertoire.

However, it is true that the population is not overloaded now, and in the case of a substantial increase in productivity, the desire of non-governmental immigrants must be the shortcomings of Chu State's propaganda and education.

"Absolutely! The soldiers of the state of Chu are enough to carry their glory. Lu Bu didn't interject before, but when Bai Tu mentioned the new legion, the Privy Council was naturally the first to speak.

From the period of Yangzhou Mansion and General's Mansion, the Chu army, which has emphasized a sense of honor and mission, has made Lu Bu very confident in terms of ideological literacy, and from the king of Chu to the people of Chu, they are also very "confident".

Ordinary people may not be enlightened enough, but Chu Jun can't be unconscious.

From "killing one person is like killing my father" to the "Protector Temple" outside Jinling City, the military-civilian relationship of Chu has surpassed the times.

It really has to be compared with other princes, and the gap in it is even greater than the gap in armaments!

Of course, compensation and rewards will also keep up, and Bai Tu also emphasized that it is also necessary to consider issues such as the support of the elderly, and give priority to the selection of generals who have small migration costs and voluntarily join.

In addition, in the world of Castle Hime, the "Wasteland Legion" is actually a clever way to use the rules of Castle Hime......

Because ordinary Ji Zao soldiers, although they have the problem of a sense of belonging, military discipline, and morale after leaving the source of soldiers, they can completely make up for it with sufficient training.

And it is much easier to mobilize the soldiers of Jizao than to launch a real general to migrate voluntarily, that is, as long as there are enough generals who are willing to migrate!

At the same time, although the soldiers of Jizao need to replenish manpower every year, they can also use the branches of the wealthy families that migrated to the past, as well as the manpower of the naturalized local natives - just because the soldiers are mixed, the level of training will continue to decline.

However, it is mainly based on land reclamation, and the impact is completely acceptable.

However, in this way, the degree of immunity from forced labor for the forerunners needs to be considered......

Huang Chengyan also said at this time: "If it is a wasteland development army, I think there should be many people in the original Jingzhou army who are competent and willing to try." ”

It's not that anyone's army is so expensive!

In the Central Plains and the northern part of the country, many generals were forcibly conscripted, and even used as consumables, even in Yizhou and Jingzhou before, the treatment of grassroots generals was not good.

Although the vast majority of the original Jingzhou Army has become a second-line army, they have been flattered by both the actual treatment and the military service retirement system that encourages them to start a family.

What's more, the generals of the Jingzhou Army have not received enough land in Jingzhou, and many of them have not started families, especially among the grassroots generals, which is caused by the historical legacy of Jingzhou, which makes them not have a strong love for Jingzhou!

Huang Chengyan also understands that in the short term, it is impossible for the Jingzhou scholars to suppress the Yangzhou scholars in the political situation of the Chu State, and it is good not to be suppressed too badly by the other party.

For example, if the Jingzhou Shi clan wants to have the same share, they must contribute more - after all, Yangzhou, especially Jiangdong, also contributed the most in the establishment of the Chu State.

"Cultivating a specialized army of land reclamation...... The old minister seconded the proposal. Lu Kang also agreed.

Will the Wasteland Legion forcibly occupy the share of the wealthy families?

There is indeed this tendency, but as said before, under the combination of fists, the wealthy families of the Chu State were inhibited from developing towards the gate valve, but chose to develop with the Chu State in another form.

As human beings, the desire for fame and fortune will not disappear, but the form of competition can be controlled – provided that it develops fast enough.

Moreover, you must know that the scholar clan and the "Wasteland Legion" are not mutually exclusive, and it is completely possible to encourage the children of the clan to actively participate in the Wasteland Legion and indirectly increase their influence on the Wasteland Legion.

Of course, since the wasteland is opened up in the form of a legion, the influence of the background on the generals will be much weaker - if you don't even have the understanding that you are "first of all the generals of the Chu army, and then you are from the warrior clan", then your Chu consciousness is obviously not in place!

And the Wasteland Reclamation Corps must also focus on Chu Xue's consciousness......

"I'm afraid the navy will find more unexplored land in the future, and we should also prepare early, and the matter of opening up the desert army is not only for the sake of Bozhou, but also exists as a long-term national policy." Bai Tu emphasized.

When Yizhou was first developed, there were still many displaced people and disaster victims available, and now the problem is still not acute when Bozhou is being developed.

But in the future, when Gan Ning really sets foot in the "Golden State", it will be a real shortage of people - Bai Tu does not want to plunder a sum and leave, let alone arrest Kunlun slaves as laborers.

Fortunately, there is still time for the Chu State to prepare......

In Bai Tu's heart, Bozhou is far from comparable with the "legendary" golden state with fertile land.

However, if you want to go to the Golden State, at least you have to wait for the technology of the large-scale true gas engine to mature, that is, after the "Pan True Qi Plan" has achieved initial results, and then go directly to the ironclad ship to explore......

Although Columbus's Santa Maria was only a wooden sailing ship in history, and it was not stronger than Chu in terms of technology, the ships of the Chu Navy had an Achilles heel - a serious lack of oil immersion time.

To sail in the sea for a long time, the ship made of new wood is easy to rot, and it can be soaked in tung oil for several years to prolong the life of the ship.

The oil extraction process in the Chu State is very developed, but it has only been a few years since the start of shipbuilding?

The time for soaking tung oil is seriously insufficient, the first batch of sea ships have basically been decommissioned, and now Gan Ning's fleet has three generations of sea ships, but the oil soaking time is only two years, for safety, the remaining service period will not exceed five years.

It's just that Baitu is in a hurry to develop, so he has the luxury of building a short-term ship as a consumable.

Even the first batch of timber that began to be soaked in oil, and now that shipbuilding is started, the time for oil immersion is not very abundant......

Therefore, it may be enough to try to circumnavigate the world in terms of sailing technology, but there is a risk of shipwrecking halfway through!

Moreover, the first batch of wood that Gan Ning began to soak in oil has been used up about the same, and the second batch of wood is relatively sufficient, but it is only for two years......

Bai Tu has basically put the hope of the voyage on the ironclad, at least the ironclad as the flagship to have a sense of security!

Including the matter of the "Wasteland Reclamation Corps", in the palace discussion, it is easy to reach a consensus, as for the next specific development plan, it is still necessary to wait for the results of geological survey.

As for the candidate for the governor, the scholars of the palace have also nominated a lot, but who to use, Bai Tu still has to make a decision on the court meeting of the six ministries and one house......
