"If it's a big company, then it's going to be difficult for us to get quality stallions. But in an era like today, when there are many princes, there are always one or two people who will be willing to sell for some reason.

Later, Gu will think of a way to contact some Inhuman forces in the north to see if he can buy a batch of stallions from the north. It's just that this transportation aspect is not a big problem. ”

Zhang Shuo pondered for a moment before speaking.

"In terms of transportation, there is not much of a problem with Wang Zhi's fleet. It's just that the other party may not cooperate with us easily. ”

"The profit of salt is very large, give him a few sweeteners first, are you afraid that he will be disobedient?" Zhang Shuo smiled slightly, but didn't care.

Wang Anshi nodded, and then said: "Monarch, now that the sowing season has passed, most of the domestic construction projects have been completed. Is this an excuse for the soldiers to start the first round of reclamation work? ”

"Yes, in troubled times, food is the necessary thing for a good life. However, the soldiers involved in the reclamation should try to be mainly old people and women. After all, in addition to a large number of projects waiting for them to be completed, the young men also have to ensure training on weekdays. ”

Zhang Shuo nodded and agreed with Wang Anshi's suggestion. Reclaiming wasteland and expanding the planting area of Qianguo is one of the agricultural development directions that Zhang Shuo has set long ago. For this reason, several workshops set up by Qianguo have been making simple agricultural tools such as plows, hoes, and rakes.

However, the efficiency of these backward improvised farm tools is too low to support large-scale reclamation. This made Zhang Shuo's side have to invest more manpower to turn the soil and sow seeds. As a result, even the Qianguo, which had nearly 100,000 soldiers and a large number of prisoners in re-education through labor, was still in a situation of labor shortage.

And this is also the status quo of most countries, because at the beginning of the game, the scientific and technological level of most countries almost started from the pre-Qin era, so before a large number of craftsmen and scientists improved the equipment and climbed the technology tree, most of the princes had to invest a lot of manpower in production.

Therefore, with the exception of those individual forces that intend to take the route of feeding the war with war. At present, most of the princes put more than ninety percent of the population into production, but in this way, it greatly squeezed the living space of the conscripted population. Although the Qianguo country implements the government soldier system, if too many government soldiers are put into production tasks, it will inevitably affect the daily training of government soldiers.

But fortunately, the day before yesterday, there was good news from the workshop, with the help of a large number of craftsmen who had defected to the Qianguo because of the craftsman official system, the workshop finally made the most basic wooden plow. Although it was not a large-scale agricultural killer such as the Quyuan plow, it also greatly reduced the manpower pressure on the Qianguo.

"The monarch thinks twice about ......"

Just when Zhang Shuo was thinking about the breakthrough in wood plough technology and was in a happy mood, Wang Anshi on the side poured a basin of cold water on him and admonished: "At present, China's agricultural tools are still mainly plows, hoes, and rakes. Although the newly made wooden plough has greatly improved the efficiency of people and animals, the reserves are limited. In this case, if the elderly and weak women and children are the main force, it may delay the process and delay the construction period. ”

Looking at Wang Anshi, who was opposed and stubborn, Zhang Shuo nodded after thinking about it: "What Jiefu said makes sense." In this way, a group of young people were selected to be cultivated using farm tools, with the assistance of old men and women. The rest of the young people are still strengthening their training! ”

Zhang Shuo said that, seeing that Wang Anshi wanted to open his mouth to refute, he immediately continued to persuade: "Xuzhou is not calm at the moment, what the surrounding counties are fighting now, Jiefu You should also know." Although the war has not yet affected our country, safety is still the first priority in everything. Let the young soldiers strengthen their training, and then integrate them into the regular army, they can also quickly adapt and obey the command of the commander-in-chief. ”

Looking at Zhang Shuo, who patiently persuaded him, Wang Anshi still maintained a reluctant demeanor, and bluntly admonished: "The monarch is worried about it, and the minister understands it very well, but the monarch has not thought about it." With the ability of the town guards in various places, it is probably impossible to train thousands of government soldiers in one go. The minister thought that it would be counterproductive if he was too eager for quick success. ”

"Having said that, Kejiefu, there are really no extra manpower on the lone hand."

Listening to Wang Anshi's words, Zhang Shuo shook his head with a wry smile. On the question of whether the officer's ability to complete the training task was not unconsidered before. After all, this problem had been exposed long before when they were still generals and there were only thousands of soldiers in each town.

With the current ability of these town guards to still be soldiers, it is basically not a problem for them to train and manage more than a dozen recruits. But if you want to manage hundreds of people, these generals are a little stretched. If it involves the management and training of troops with more than 1,000 troops, this kind of high-intensity command and dispatch level is not something that can be accomplished by these town guards who only have the rank of soldiers.

Because of this, the current training of government soldiers in various parts of the country has not satisfied Zhang Shuo, but he has never had a better way to solve this problem. After all, it is necessary to meet the requirements of the generals and officers for the training of more than 400,000 government soldiers in 81 towns in nine counties in Qianguo. This is something that no country can achieve at present.

Just when Zhang Shuo was distressed, Wang Anshi suddenly said loudly: "There is a law for ministers to solve the king's worries."

Zhang Shuo was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Anshi, only to see Wang Anshi unhurriedly said: "Since the town guards from all over the country can't complete the training of soldiers on their own. Then, in the opinion of the ministers, in the training of the soldiers in various places, the two methods can be implemented and taught. The so-called "Shangfan" is ordered by the monarch, and the soldiers of each town are led by the town guards under their jurisdiction, and they must take turns to go to the command and embassy of each county every month, and the commander of each county will personally carry out training. Under such rotation, there is no need to delay the weekday tasks of the soldiers of each town.

The method of teaching and reading is divided into "group teaching" and "collective teaching". The so-called centralized education is to set up a teaching field, and the town guards in the local area will concentrate on teaching and reading, and when the town guards have learned martial arts, they will be turned into teaching heads, and the army soldiers will be trained in a group of ......."

"I'll go, isn't this the armor protection law?"

Looking at Wang Anshi, who was talking eloquently in front of him, Zhang Shuo couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. It seems that Wang Anshi is planning to integrate the armor protection law into his grass-roots government military system.

However, Zhang Shuo did not have many opinions on this. Don't look at the history of Wang Anshi's reforms, there are many problems in the new laws such as Qingmiao, Shiyi, and Baojia, but there are still many places worth referring to.
