Chapter 37: Reforming the Military System (2)

“...... Third, I need to build a database of the amount of cultivated land in my territory, including cultivated land and uncultivated wasteland that has not yet been cultivated, but has reclaimed value. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 "It's not just this part of Limestone City, it has to encompass the entire Limestone Territory! This winter, upheaval will affect here." When the time comes, a large amount of arable land will surely be abandoned. We must prepare early. Lao An, you have prepared a sum of money in advance to collect this cultivated land for yourself. With the backing of these fields, the first two things can greatly reduce the help of implementation. ”

"You-you, you're horrible. His words made Andrew stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "I personally feel that these plans are not unreasonable, but they are unrealistic." The only thing that is somewhat feasible is the third one, there are not many yeoman farmers in our territory, and most of the land is owned by those manor owners. If there is really some trouble, they want to go out and take refuge, and it is possible to sell a large number of fields. As long as we use some means, we can indeed recover it at a low price. But the first and second are so bizarre that you can take those two ideas back. ”

"......" Levi felt incredible.

He thought that the third thing was the most difficult, after all, "taking people's money is like killing parents". But I didn't expect it to be the easiest in the eyes of the old man in front of me. Also, Roland and the earth are still fundamentally different. Similar to a monster siege, it will indeed greatly affect the value of real estate such as houses and fields.

"The first two, you don't have to worry, I have a plan to complete it. Li Wei Chengzhu was in his chest, "Some time ago, didn't we recruit a lot of people. I plan to recruit another 1,000 men and make up an army of 8,000 men. This army, I call it the reserve army. The work of eradicating illiteracy begins with this army. I have learned beforehand that all of them, except for those of the Garans, are from good families, and at least can read and write. With their help and a little bit of support, their literacy problems can be solved in the short term. Train these people, and then they train the others, and that adds up. Whether it is militia training or literacy and literacy, my requirements are relatively shallow. An ordinary person can complete these tasks after two or three months of training. ”

"That might work. Andrew nodded in surprise, he was also thinking about this whimsy, "If your goal is to train them to be familiar with martial arts and only be literate." With the help of these 8,000 people, there is a slight possibility of success. But if you do, you're going to offend a lot of people. Especially the scholars in the city, they are very resistant to this kind of behavior. In their view, reading and literacy is the duty and glory of scholars and some others, and learning from other irrelevant people is just superfluous, even a blasphemy. Maybe you hear some rumors and will boycott you en masse. ”

Isn't it just a monopoly of knowledge? Li Wei smiled contemptuously, "Lao An, you don't have to worry about this. When everyone in my territory can read and write, the role of scholars will not be so great. People can learn directly from books, and do they need their intervention? Also, those guys will only play tricks, and if they are profitable, they will all become cats who smell fishy......"

When he saw that after he said this, the old man's face was obviously not very good, and he was immediately embarrassed.

Why did you forget that Lao An is also a scholar?

What a mistake. Levi knew that what he had just said was directly aimed at the other party's origin.

You know, Roland's scholars are not a generic name. It is a formal profession, very well developed, not only categorized, but also detailed hierarchical, and managed exclusively by the Scholars City. Those who can be called scholars must go through professional studies and then pass the assessment of the Scholars City. The content of the assessment, from copywriting to national politics, astronomy and geography, is almost everything. As a result, they are also internally divided into historians, liturgists, astrologers, etc. Like Andrew, who is one of the political and legal scholars, he is still "certified" by the Scholar City, and the gray robe on his body is evidence.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, it's a malaise for many of us. On this point, I agree with you. Relying on reading a little bit of books, you will be superior to others, which is very unreasonable. Scholars should have stricter standards for what makes them scholars. After Andrew's expression changed for a while, he also spoke freely. In this regard, he has always pursued pragmatism, and he is still very open-minded, "but at least this is a trouble, I wonder if you have a way to deal with it?"

"Actually, it's not a problem at all. People who are really knowledgeable will not particularly resist me because of what I do. Those who don't have the ability are most likely to see profit and abandon righteousness. The rest are just some people who claim to be high but have no ability. I don't want these people to come to me. ”

"It's not as simple as you say. However, this problem is really not too big. They don't come to apply, so we might as well hire someone to train ourselves. Anyway, according to what you said, we have to promote this -- this education, and it is not bad for this kind of effort. On the mainland, there are also many countries that are very resistant to the Scholar City, but they all have their own methods. ”

"Then I'll be at ease. Li Wei paused for a moment, "Actually, when the militia is mature, I will set up the first army on this basis." It will be the official army of our limestone territory, a group of teams of the First Army, composed of people from clean backgrounds, special contributions, and reliable work in the reserve army. However, if there are additional personnel, they will be selected directly from the militia groups. As long as everyone is given the opportunity, I believe that those who are truly talented will definitely make their way to the top. The promotion of education is also to cooperate with this, so that the people of the territory are aware of the importance of protecting their homeland. In this way, the militia formed by them can play the greatest role. The First Army, selected from the militia groups, will also become a real people's army. Its loyalty to this place is not comparable to that of the army raised, after all, this is their own home. This is called 'from the masses, to the masses'. ”

Trying to suppress his impulse to "memorize the party constitution," "the next step is to set up the Second Army and the Ministry of Science and Technology that goes with it." Here, I will explain to Lao An what technology means. The gist of it is the result of knowledge that can play a practical role, just like the behavioral spectrum of the ground helmet insect that I summarized earlier. These two institutions will be under my direct command. I'm going to use them, along with my series of research, to try to create a few more miracles of the Earth Helmet Worm......"
