After thinking about it for a long time, Old Man Xu looked up at his grandson and said, "This method seems to work, but I have a few questions for you." ”

"Huh? What's the problem? ”

"First of all, the guards are all men in the three areas, they are not only the guards, but also the main laborers of the family, and they rely on them for farming and everything, if they are all dedicated to being soldiers, without them, what will happen to the farmland at home? Who will feed the family? ”

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan paused.

He really hadn't thought of this problem before, he had always thought about how to solve the problem of bandits in the way of modern thinking, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as farming.

Thinking about it, he felt as if he had overlooked something.

Scratching his head, Xu Chuan remembered what he had overlooked in this question for a long time, and asked, "Grandpa, how did the guards in the three of us be formed?" And how do you select people to enter the guards, is there one person from each household? ”

Old Man Xu nodded and said, "Well, there are about fifty or sixty thousand people in the three areas, close to ten thousand households. ”

"These two thousand guards are based on the method of drawing the armies of the three major countries, and one person from five households is selected."

"It's just that this guard is changed every year, for example, this year we drew someone from our Xu family as a guard, and it won't be drawn again next year, if the person is not dead, you can return it, and take it again after five years, if someone dies in battle, you will draw the next year's personnel in advance to supplement."

Xu Chuan nodded, understanding the source of the guards in the Three Belts.

That's what he had overlooked.

Ancient conscription, especially the guards in the Sanzhi Zone, was different from modern conscription.

In modern times, their conscription is not mandatory, but voluntarily signed up and screened layer by layer, but this method will definitely not work in the three-regardless zone, and the old man said that this kind of 'everyone takes turns together to protect' method is the most suitable.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan asked, "Grandpa, if the guards die, will there be a subsidy for the three regardless of the land?" ”

Old Man Xu shook his head and said, "No, at most, the neighbors will help each other, and give more broken silver in white matters, so that the family can tide over the difficulties." ”

"In addition, this is the second problem you said about the militarization of the guards, the guards are not paid today, but if the guards are full-time soldiers, who will pay them?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan suddenly felt that he had a little headache, he really didn't think about it so much during the day, and now that he said this, it was really a trouble.

Third, there is no state in the area, and there is no tax, so how can the 2,000-strong guards be paid and paid for the death of the war?

Does it depend on the Xu family?

Don't dream, although he doesn't know how much the Xu family's income is, he will definitely not be able to support the salaries and death subsidies of these two thousand guards just by striking iron.

Unless he can get salt, toothpaste, soap and the like to sell first, there is some hope.

But then again, selling salt and soap without forming its own protective capacity in the Sanzhi Zone is tantamount to causing trouble for the Xu family and the Sanno Zone.

This Nima is a chicken-and-egg, egg-and-chicken problem.

As if seeing his grandson's embarrassment and concern, the old man knocked on the table to bring him back to his senses.

"I can find a way to solve these two problems, but in addition, there is one last problem, how do you solve it?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan suddenly raised his head and said happily: "Is there a way to solve it, old man, I want to think about it for a long time, let's say, what is the last problem." ”

Hearing Xu Chuan call him an old man, Old Man Xu raised his eyebrows, his chest rose and fell a little, if it weren't for the fact that he had changed a lot in the past two days, he would have implemented the family law a long time ago.

After taking two deep breaths, the old man calmed down and said, "If the guards are militarized, who will train these two thousand guards?" And who will command these two thousand guards? ”

Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How did you train before?" And who is in charge? ”

When the words fell, he reacted.

Nowadays, there is no state administration in the Sanzhi area, although there is a name called 'Sanzhi Town', but in fact there is no official yamen, and there is no official law.

Local affairs, big and small, either solve it by themselves, or the neighbors can adjust it, and the larger ones, such as the guards, rely on the major elders and respected people in this place.

For example, the Xu family, who struck iron, the Jing family, the Jing family, the Gao family, the scholarly family, the landlord Xun family, etc., usually led the guards to fight against the bandits, as well as some major matters involving the town, all of which were arranged by these families to discuss together.

Today's guards basically still work in the fields when they are busy with farming, and only pick up arms to assemble to resist when robbers come and hear the sound of the horn, and they are basically untrained.

If there is a way to train him.

Then the military of the guards, these two thousand people, who will be in command is also a question.

That's 2,000 guards, and if you really want to be military, it can be said to be a very strong force.

The commander of the Xu family? Will the other patriarchs say yes?

Someone else managed? He would say yes..... Fart!

Not to mention the improvised trebuchet, Xu Chuan is also going to get some other things to arm this guard, so that it can fight against the bandits and protect the three areas.

If you travel to the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it's okay, and you can hand over things to change your official position, and you can also live your own small life with some royal rewards.

But it is obvious that this is a troubled time now, not to mention the chaotic war that may occur in the three major powers, even the bandits outside are a huge threat.

In this case, if he found a way to get the equipment, and the guards trained by his idea were taken away by others, Xu Chuan would feel like a pure cerebral palsy.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at the old man and said, "You can leave the training of the guards to me, I know something about this." ”

Old Man Xu looked at his grandson in surprise and asked, "Do you know how to train the army?" ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "The training can be handed over to me, I have a way, but the command is in the hands of others, I am not at ease or unwilling, but the key is that the other people in the three areas will agree with me or the Xu family to control the guards?" ””

Although he has never been a soldier, the military training in college is not in vain, he still understands some things more or less, maybe it is not very formal and perfect, but the situation in front of him is enough to draw a tiger from a cat to a tiger.

Old Man Xu took a deep look at his grandson and said, "If you know how to train, this command will naturally be taken over by my Xu family." ”

"But the matter about the guards is not child's play, you..."

"Don't worry, grandpa, I won't mess around on this, if the guards have an accident, it won't do me and the Xu family any good, if you mess around, my grandson will throw himself into the Yangtze River, come and see you!" Xu Chuan replied categorically.

Hearing this, Old Man Xu stared at him for a long time, and when he saw that his eyes were like torches, he did not flinch, and said: "In this case, for the sake of seeing that you have made a trebuchet, I will contact Elder Jing and Elder Gao tomorrow to discuss it together, and you will participate with me." ”

"Besides, the militarization of the guards is not child's play, you can leave it to you to train, and you must not mess around! If there are bandits in the future, you must participate in it! There is no escape! ”

Glancing at the old man, Xu Chuan knew that this was putting pressure on him to avoid him messing around with the guards, although he didn't want to go to the battlefield much, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, if there are bandits to attack, the grandson will definitely play together." ”

"Go back and get up early tomorrow."

"Yes, my grandson will retire, and my grandfather will rest early."

Xu Chuan said and turned to leave, on the side, Old Man Xu looked at the back of him leaving, and his heart was a little mixed.

He only felt that this back was very unfamiliar, although it didn't look like it had changed, but as if it had changed as a different person, his words and actions had completely changed, and he was no longer as scoundrel as before, and he seemed to have some responsibility.

But he couldn't find a reason why his grandson had changed so much, and he could only say in his heart that he had grown up overnight.
