After 10 years of service in the third level of reserve, it can be transferred to the fourth level of reserve, which also includes men who are too old (or too young) and able-bodied women.

Suppose a man joins the army at the age of eighteen and retires at the age of twenty to become a reserve of the upper rank, then he becomes a reserve of the fourth class at the age of thirty-nine.

After all, thirty-nine years old is not too old, but its physical strength is already declining.

If in the era of muskets, such an age could barely participate in the war, and even the forty-five-year-old grandfather soldier could barely make do with it.

But at least in the near future, Luo Ming will not be able to mass-produce arquebuses, and fighting with cold weapons will require more physical strength.

Therefore, as long as the young people are not dead, sending soldiers of this age to the front line is not only irresponsible for their lives, but also irresponsible for the victory or defeat of this battle.

This fourth-level reserve is basically not related to the military...... At most, it is to help the handle when defending the city, or to maintain law and order and stand guard to catch thieves.

The rest of the time, all they have to do is dig pits, cut down trees, transport grain and grass, and other chores.

In addition to the criteria for the division of the four-level reserves, the systems and guidelines that match this reserve system also made Luo Ming, Aya and his subordinates die a lot of brain cells before they are decided.

For example, the selection criteria and treatment of the basic militia and the ordinary militia, as well as the plan for further replenishing the army when the front-line soldiers are damaged or the war expands......

After all these were decided, even Luo Ming felt a little tired.

But it is undoubtedly worth it, such a seed is planted today, and in the near future, it will surely bloom into brilliant flowers.

In Earth's terms, this is one of the keys to the leap from the feudal army to the modern army.

Although it is only one of the keys, there are many other key points, and it may take more than ten years to fully transition to success, but even if this step is only taken, it is enough to make Luo Ming lead in this era.

After settling the matter, Lomin announced a two-hour break, and then resumed the meeting.

Dakang reported the next most important thing.

Although spring ploughing and this matter may be more important than that, but there will be a spring ploughing every year, whether it is Dakang or the people, they have experienced so many spring ploughing, they have long been accustomed to it, and they will not make mistakes if they generally follow the previous method.

What he is now talking about at the meeting is related to the refugees and immigrants who have poured into Lockin's territory during this time.

Unlike the refugee problem on the modern earth, those refugees who fled from other noble territories in the county are no different from the people in the original territory in terms of appearance, religion, and language, so there will not be much contradiction.

Of course, even if there is, it doesn't matter, Luo Ming is not a big picture dynasty that has fallen in later generations on the earth, he himself is a king who rules the people on behalf of the heavens, maybe he can live longer than any careerist, who dares to shout "XX unity is greater than the sky" to give him eye medicine to try? as many as you want! You can also use the waste to make soap and sell it, which can be regarded as a return for Luo Ming's kindness to allow them to live for so many years.

In this disaster, some nobles were unable to defend themselves against monsters, exposing their people to danger - they would initially pray for the nobleman's mercy, and after realizing that this had no effect, some would naturally choose to flee.

In the end, many people managed to escape to safer places.

There was no doubt that the county was the safest of all the counties, except for the county seat, which was the safest of the Romans - he went out to rescue the other nobles, and spread the reputation that he was strong enough to defend himself.

After Dakang counted these people, he found that there were more than 830 people in total.

You must know that under Luo Ming's rule, there are only barely enough people for 6,000 people, and if you absorb these 830 people, you can directly increase the population by 15%.

But Dakang was pleasantly surprised at the same time, but also had some worries.

Although Luo Ming's thirst for population is now enormous, it is like a dry riverbed longing for rainwater to be injected. The vacant arable land in his name was also more than enough to accommodate these people.

The fact that these people came to Schönbrunn was a great gift, but it was not so easy to accept.

After all, a very small number of them were freedmen, and the rest were tenants or even serfs.

Accepting them, even if it is harboring fugitive slaves, is equivalent to stealing the property of other lords.

To put it seriously, this is enough for Luo Ming to be sued in front of the Grand Duke and have to pay compensation.

And if you want to avoid this kind of thing and return them, even if they don't die on the way, most of them will be tortured to death by their original owners, so as to set an example and deter other people who want to flee.

Luo Ming didn't know, but since he knew, it was impossible to let this kind of thing go.

He circled around the table twice, made a decision, and slapped his palm on the table.

Even if you hurt your face a little bit this time, it doesn't matter!

"I'm going to trouble you this time, Mr. Dakang.

Help me with letters and gifts—just 'Schönbrunn Estate' and 'Clean Gems'.

Let's just say that these people were taken in by my men and sent to clear the wasteland when I didn't know it, and now I can't do without these people. I can only send a gift to apologize, and invite them to be a guest in the future, and ask them to stop pursuing this matter. ”

Luo Ming said solemnly.

Da Kang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded and agreed.

And the "Schönbrunn Manor" and "Clean Gem" mentioned in Luo Ming's words are actually the brand names of the two products he is going to sell.

Schönbrunn Estate refers to blends made with the modern beverage ideas of the earth – distilled to increase the concentration of the liquor, then blended with fruit juice and added with some sugar to make it taste great.

The clean gem is actually a soap that has almost matured in the process, because the best soap can be dyed with plant extracts to obtain red, yellow, green, purple and other colors, and polished very smooth, so it is exaggerated to call it a gemstone.

Anyway, this kind of dyed soap is unaffordable for ordinary people, and most of the people who can use it at present are nobles and wealthy people, so it is natural to give it a beautiful name.

In this way, the user also has face, satisfies vanity, and Luo Ming's wallet can also bulge, which is a win-win situation

The cost price of these two goods here in Luo Ming is very low, and the price of external sales can become very high, and there is no problem at all to multiply it tenfold. It's just right to make a gift.

Moreover, it is also a good opportunity to test how well other nobles accept these two goods.

After all, blindly starting mass production of goods without doing a good job of market research is likely to make a large backlog of goods produced, smash them in your own hands, and lose a lot of money.

If there is no problem, it is naturally gratifying, and if there is a problem, this inspection can be improved in time to avoid large losses in the future.
