After Zhu Houxi ran back, he first called Gu Dayong over, and the capital and its surroundings were handed over to Yang Shen, and there was an army to suppress it, so there was no trick, but the Jinyi guard was a little insufficient.

However, it can't be completely ignored, after all, as long as there is no uprising, Gu Da's fan of Dongchang should be completely enough.

"Slaves and maids knock to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years." As soon as Gu Dayong came up, he made a big salute to His Majesty, which is called a sincere intention.

His life is worth it, even the favor of the two Majestic, the power in his hands has never been broken, His Majesty let him take charge of the East Factory, although he does some dirty work, but the right is also real, and there is a chance to grow that thing, he digs the grave and digs it is called a pleasure.

Of course, it's not just about pleasing His Majesty, the main thing is really interesting, and there are a lot of good things in it, not to mention gold and jade, the most important thing is that there are a lot of strange gadgets.

"Get up, it's hard for you to work hard outside." It just so happened that Gu Dayong came back to deliver something, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back for a while, but he could also see the exhaustion on Gu Dayong's face, it was indeed hard.

"It's not hard, it's not hard to do things for Your Majesty, and the old slave is not hard." Hearing His Majesty's concern, Gu Dayong's speech couldn't help but moisten, enough is enough, it is enough to be so concerned by His Majesty, it is really enough Yes, the person who is a confidant dies, he Gu Dayong is just an old dog, how can He De be so concerned about His Majesty.

"I called you over this time, because I have something for you to deal with, let go of the matter at hand first, scatter all the money in your hand, and arrest some people who dare to spread rumors." Zhu Houxi squinted his eyes, I want to see who dares to be this bird.

"Your Majesty, is there something going on?" Gu Dayong's eyes also revealed a trace of viciousness, who is impatient to live this, don't fall into the hands of me Gu Dayong.

"It's not a big deal, Yan Song's action is about to end, to prevent people from jumping over the wall in a hurry, it should be okay in the near future, you have to arrange your subordinates first, and the capital will be handed over to Jinyiwei, you go out, you must not let people have a chance." What Zhu Houxi said is called a loud voice, no matter who it is, catch it first and then talk about it.

"Your Majesty, what strength, how to catch it?" Gu Dayong squinted, wow, is someone going to jump again, I'm the best at this.

"Anyone who spreads rumors should be arrested, and you should also pay attention to proportion, but if there is an increasingly violent trend, take all measures to suppress public opinion." Zhu Houxi squinted, although he knew that there would definitely be a lot of wronged people who did this, but there was no way, the troubled times used heavy codes, if this wave could be safely passed, he could survive for another two years, otherwise he would have to show his family background.

"With Your Majesty's words, the old slave will rest assured, Your Majesty, the old slave guarantees that there will be no rumors to your ears." Gu Da squinted his eyes, which made people feel a chill, he was relieved to have His Majesty's words, if anyone dared to be uninteresting, then don't blame him.

"Well, let's take a break after this is done, this job can't be done, so take a break for a while." For Gu Dayong, he is still relieved, at least it has been so long, nothing has gone wrong, the work is very good, and he is very loyal, the work makes him very relieved, where can such a subordinate go to find it.

"Slaves and maids are not hard, it is the blessing of slaves and maids to be able to do things for Your Majesty, how can it be hard, Your Majesty look at it, the slaves and maids promise that they will not let some people with intentions succeed." Gu Dayong's voice is very firm, whoever goes against His Majesty can't get along with his life, and whoever can't get along with his life, he just fights hard, don't think about these guys.

"Okay, you weigh it yourself, hurry up, you must not mess up, some places are out of reach, but there must be no problems near Nanjing and the surrounding areas, some important provinces are also, as for the farther ones, I really can't control it, I want to see what tricks they can play." Zhu Houxi smiled coldly, what should be prepared has been prepared, just waiting for Yan Song to close the net, and he doesn't know how much silver he can make in this wave.

After wasting such a lot of effort, Zhu Houxi hopes that the military expenditure in the next few years will not be a problem, but it's not easy to say, look at Yan Song, if Yan Song's heart is black, then it is estimated that he can really make a lot of money, if he wants to keep the leek roots, it doesn't matter.

Qi Jingtong went back and hurriedly gathered his subordinates, since His Majesty said that the whole army, then the whole army, the 50,000 reserve army will not be left, and all of them will be directly incorporated in, he still has some independent mistakes, such as his special training camp, Shenji Battalion and 3,000 battalions are all to be independently organized, so the establishment of the ten armies that His Majesty said may be worse, just recruit some more, but he has inquired with Yan Song, Your Majesty is not short of money, he has to fill these ten military formations.

"Why did the general summon us and others?" The adjutant general was a little puzzled, but I heard that the general was urgently summoned by His Majesty, could it be that His Majesty had any instructions?

"The training in your hands will stop first, gather generals at all levels, and discuss major matters, there have been a lot of things recently, you should watch more." Qi Jingtong's face was serious, the reorganization of the more than 200,000 troops was not so easy.

In particular, His Majesty only gave himself a month, and within this month, he not only had to complete the reorganization of the army, but also not to fall behind in training, to form effective combat effectiveness, and also to train the cooperation after the restructuring of the army, and at least to reserve a few days, otherwise he would not know his commander when he went to the battlefield, so what kind of battle would he fight.

His initial idea was to disperse all the 150,000 men into the 100,000 at the beginning, so that an effective combat force could be formed as quickly as possible.

However, because the two sides were training against each other at the beginning, it would be very troublesome to organize the army, so he immediately summoned senior generals to see how to do it quickly and well.

And because of the restructuring, there are many positions to move, especially the position of these ten army commanders, which is very critical, according to His Majesty's intentions, this is basically equivalent to leading an army alone, and the right person must be selected for this position.

Fortunately, General Wang had called him before, and predicted that His Majesty would reform the army sooner or later, so that he could prepare early, and he actually had a preliminary idea in his heart, but he didn't expect His Majesty to change it so early.

But fortunately, I was a little mentally prepared, otherwise I would have been stunned a long time ago, this kind of thing is easy to say, and it takes a lot of things to do, and Your Majesty just mentioned it, if he didn't understand, how could he dare to make a military order, he was not stupid.

Qi Jingtong convened the generals to discuss the matter, and the soldiers below did not know why, they were all discussing whether there was a big event, and the biggest guess might be that there was going to be a war.

For going to the battlefield, they didn't resist too much, after all, eating food and fighting a war is a matter of course, and besides, this military salary is not bad.

Moreover, General Qi also gave a reward system on the battlefield, and the military merit system was implemented on the battlefield, and how many enemy soldiers were killed, how much credit was obtained, and these merits could be directly exchanged for silver, or they could be accumulated, and when they accumulated a certain amount of military merit, they could obtain a certain official position.

This is the result of Zhu Houxi's careful consideration, he did not directly knight like the pre-Qin but took a more practical approach, after all, those are unrealistic things, he himself wants to cancel the title, what to do with the knighthood of the soldiers, are you bored.

However, these things are more practical, they can be exchanged for money directly, the specific conversion ratio has not yet come out, Zhu Houxi means to wait for one or a few games to see the situation, after all, this thing is not easy to calculate, how much military merit is per head, how much is a military industry, this is something to be discussed.

There is also the same for the promotion of positions, accumulating a certain amount of military merit, you can get the promotion of the position, Zhu Houxi means that you can refer to the military rank system of later generations, which is different from the actual position, but the actual position can only be held by a person with a certain military rank.

Anyway, it's very complicated, in fact, the changes are very big, and because they haven't been on the battlefield and so on, things have been put on hold, just taking advantage of the restructuring of the army, these are implemented, military merit and military rank are linked, of course, now everyone has not been on the battlefield, there must be no military merit, you can owe it first, and then the capable will go up and down.

This is equivalent to directly breaking up the current military system and starting over, but the benefits are undoubted, and the soldiers will inevitably fight bloodily, after all, military merit equals money and official position.

Zhu Houxi also plans to link the military rank with the transfer of soldiers, these are just assumptions, and it is still difficult to do all of them at present, and they need to be changed step by step.

"Fifth Brother Wang, did you say that we are going to the battlefield, after the general came back today, he actually stopped the training of the whole army, which feels very unusual." A thin soldier whispered to his fellow countrymen next to him.

He enlisted in the army three months ago, and he was the second batch of the earliest enlistment, he was Wang Wu's fellow villager, and when Wang Wu returned to his hometown, he could envy them, and directly gave his family ten taels of silver, my God, ten taels of silver, I heard that it was a year's salary for enlisting in advance, and there were ten taels of silver a year.

And I also said that as long as you have the ability in the army, you can just eat meat at once, what is the concept, ordinary people may only eat some meat during the New Year, and what is the concept of eating meat at once.

At first, everyone didn't believe Wang Wu's words, until Wang Wu took off his clothes and showed his tendon meat, this head, without oil and water, can never be eaten like this, which makes everyone a little envious.

Many young people in the village also have the idea of joining the army, but Wang Wu immediately poured a basin of cold water on them, as far as he knows, only their army is currently treated like this, and it is currently full, and there seems to be no conscription plan in a short time.

The first time he returned to his hometown, Wang Wu called a scenery, and since then he has been more determined to follow General Qi's thoughts, and then returned to his hometown for the second time, he was on a mission, and he heard that he was going to expand the army, he specially asked for leave, of course, this kind of good thing should be told to his family for the first time, and this kid next to him is one of his fellow villagers.

"What's the matter, you kid are afraid of going to the battlefield, why are you here in the first place?"

"Who said that I was afraid, I still want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and I don't know how much silver can be exchanged for a head, and I still want to save some silver to go back to marry my daughter-in-law." Some of the skinny fellow villagers are full of hope for the future.

"You kid, you haven't grown at all, what's so good about silver, killing the enemy and promoting the position is the most important thing, I can't say that I can also become a general." Wang Wu's eyes were also full of yearning, fantasizing about the scene of himself putting on the general's armor and commanding an army, how majestic it was.

"Come on, Fifth Brother Wang, I believe in you, you become a general, and I will make money and go home to beg for a daughter-in-law."

"If you don't have any interest, you know that you have no interest in begging your daughter-in-law." Wang Wu couldn't help but punch him, this guy, his brain is broken.

"But, but I just want to have a daughter-in-law." The man pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to speak out loud.

Many people in the army are whispering, some people are confused, some people are firm, everyone has more or less dreams, there are not a few people like Wang Wu, and there are not a few who want to kill the enemy for money, but no matter what, once they are on the battlefield, the morale of this army is undoubtedly high, even if it is the king of Hades, they dare to touch it.

This is just a microcosm of the army, Zhu Houyu feels that in the military system of all dynasties, only the Qin Dynasty is the best, and even the army led by the great leader is not good, because there are too many things mixed in it, plus feelings and accusations against the past, and the desire for apprentices, there are too many, anyway, Zhu Houxi can't build that kind of army, unless he wants to change his own life.

In addition, the Qin Dynasty's military merit system is the best, he improved it, and added a monetary reward, for soldiers, as long as they kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, they can have anything, and for the country, such an army is invincible, even if it is a dragon, I will turn into a hungry wolf and pounce on it to bite off a piece of meat.

Of course, the premise is to have absolute control over the army, and to have enough financial resources to maintain such a system, after all, if the military merit is not valuable, then people will have no motivation to kill the enemy, if it is too valuable, it will not work, after all, what Zhu Houxi wants to implement is the military rank system, which is the way once and for all, and will train a large number of low-level officials for the grassroots level, and completely break the only way to take the imperial examination.

It's not that the imperial examination is bad, it's just that there will inevitably be some flaws, just like there were martial arts in ancient times, but it is not as valued as the imperial examination.

It's not just that people who read can govern the country well, some truths, ordinary people also understand, it's just that many things will be hindered if they are illiterate, but it's okay to become some small officials.

This move can be regarded as breaking the boundaries of classes and providing favorable conditions for future reforms.

Zhu Houxi himself can't say what the future holds, he can only say that he tries his best to transform the world according to his own ideas, but he can't say the specific direction of the world, he can only say that he knows the destiny of heaven as much as possible.
