If we want the real development of Tucheng, in addition to building water conservancy, reclaiming land, and building roads, we must also let these people at least be literate.

The reason why most of the natives in Jiaozhou can be controlled by the people of the priest alliance, so that they can worship and become the so-called spiritual beliefs.

The biggest problem is that they don't know the knowledge, and they only have thoughts in their heads that have been brainwashed by the priests.

Some people even feel strange when they see the lit candles, not to mention that they are far behind compared with modern people and the local cool people.

If the people of Liangren live in a backward feudal system, then the natives of Jiaozhou live in an ignorant slave society.

The transformation of their minds is imminent, not to mention that they can emancipate their minds at once, at least the most basic literacy, and know some common sense, which is the most basic.

This literacy eradication is not only for the indigenous people in Tucheng County, but also for those poor and poor children who cannot afford to go to private schools.

And in this literacy eradication activity, Su Qi'an took the lead in doing a major event that surpassed this era.

That is, children who can read and write, regardless of gender, even women, as long as she wants, can also go to literacy and study.

To this end, Su Qi'an redivided Tucheng County, which he returned, into one county and six towns, including Qi'an City.

In each town, there are appointed heads of 1,000 households, heads of households, and chiefs of guarantees, and they are under the jurisdiction of the town, township, and village levels.

In each town, there are at least ten public private schools funded by Su Qi'an.

Scattered all over the town, children of all ages, including adults, have to set aside a certain amount of time every day to become literate.

Su Qi'an's policy made the people of Tucheng County, including Wu Yong, applaud.

Every policy introduced by Su Qi'an shocked Wu Yong, because every item he proposed was full of good flashes.

There are even some epoch-making far-reaching ideas, not to mention anything else, just the fact that men and women can learn to read and write together makes Wu Yong quite shocked.

In Da Liang, even in his cognition, women should be closed, learn how to be dignified, just wait to marry out of the pavilion, and teach their husbands and children.

As for literacy and hyphenation, this has nothing to do with women, perhaps some powerful families will invite some Confucians to occasionally give lessons to their own women.

But this is completely the right that only the children of the powerful family can have.

But Su Qi'an's policy directly broke the family's right to be on top and to have.

Children of poor families like them also have the day when they are literate and hyphenated, if this spreads, they will be afraid to shock the jaws of many people.

Su Qi'an dared to do this, naturally he had his confidence, and his current identity was the lord of Tucheng County.

According to the rules of the boundary of Jiaozhou, in Tucheng County, all the territory and population, as long as Su Qi'an is willing, he can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him.

To put it bluntly, he is the overlord of Tucheng County.

But who would have thought that this overlord with his own private territory would not only be like others, but he would frantically oppress the people and expropriate them violently.

On the contrary, slavery was abolished, and water conservancy was built, houses were built, land was cultivated, roads were built, and literacy classes were set up in the county, so that the whole people could eliminate illiteracy.

Where is this overlord, it is completely the savior in the hearts of the people of Tucheng.

Many people sighed in their hearts that what good things they had done in their previous lives would make them meet such a master, which is a blessing that they can't cultivate in several lifetimes.

The current people of Tucheng County, it is not an exaggeration to say that even if they are driven away, they will not leave if they are killed.

It is their blessing to be able to live in Tucheng County.

As the atmosphere of the people in the city became higher and higher, Su Qi'an immediately gave an order, and finally issued preparations for the expansion of the army.

When the recruitment announcement was issued, there was no need for people to urge people at all, and the recruitment points in the six towns were crowded with people in less than a quarter of an hour.

To know

This time, Su Qi'an recruited troops, and the treatment he gave was not very good, only one penny of silver was given every month, and in addition to training, when he was not busy, he also had to participate in the sowing of spring and autumn harvests.

To put it bluntly, in wartime it is a soldier, and in peacetime it is a people, and the people and soldiers are completely combined.

And choosing, you have to participate in two rounds of tests, physical and mental power, only those who are qualified, can be conscripted into the army, this recruitment of new soldiers, as long as 4,000 people, there is a quota limit.

This kind of condition, compared with other states, is really a bit poor, not to mention anything else, just say that the salary given, other states are at least five dollars a month, or even higher.

At the beginning, the craftsmen and guards recruited by Su Qi'an in Dongshan Village were given at least about one or two every month.

It's not that Su Qi'an is stingy, after all, he is not the time when he had the support of Su Ji Commercial Bank.

The 100,000 taels he has in hand now are only about half of them, and if he continues to have a lot of money like before, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be exhausted.

Therefore, this recruitment of 4,000 people is strictly controlled at about four or five hundred taels per month.

What people didn't expect was that even with such harsh conditions, they still couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

They responded positively this time, not for the so-called money, but for their master Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an did so many good things for them in Tucheng County, gave them dignity, built houses for them, built roads, and improved the environment in the city.

The most important thing is to let them eat, and their children, including them, can go to the so-called public private school, which is the real self-sacrifice for the people, and really hope that they can get better and live a good life.

And this recruitment, they know, is to defend their homeland, even if they don't give a penny, they are willing to respond.

The enthusiasm of the crowd was high, but fortunately, there were Dongshan troops and officials to maintain order on the spot, which calmed down the excitement of everyone.

This recruitment, it took three days, and 4,000 people were successfully recruited, plus the previous Dongshan army of about 1,000 people, a full 5,000 people.

And this is Su Qi'an's capital based in Jiaozhou.

In this recruitment, Su Qi'an also made an army reform and abolished the establishment system of the Daliang army.

Rather, it is a modern military system, which is established in accordance with the system of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, and regiments.

The 5,000 people were divided into three regiments, each regiment had 1,200 people, and below the regiment was established in accordance with the three-three system, with battalions, companies, platoons, and squads.

The three regiment commanders were Su Yong, Song Biao, and Er Meng, and the rest of the people formed a cavalry battalion of about 500 people, which was concurrently served by the third regiment commander Er Meng. ap.

There are about 1,000 people left, and they have formed a special operations company, a guard company, a logistics and transportation company, a communications company, and a reconnaissance and intelligence company, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the headquarters established by Su Qi'an.

They were called the headquarters company, and they were all responsible for the children's war.

In order to prevent recurrence, like the previous incident of aquatic defection, Su Qi'an established a soldiers' committee in the army, and the headquarters was established in the company headquarters.

The purpose of the Men's Committee is to better ensure the dignity and rights of its soldiers.

As well as being able to know the specific situation of each soldier at any time, the soldiers' committee is directly responsible to Su Qi'an.

Every soldier below the company level can participate, and the soldiers' committee is equivalent to their patriarch.

If you encounter injustice, you can complain to the soldiers' committee.

Each company has a men's committee, and each squad has a member of the men's committee.

And the person in charge of the soldiers' committee is a confidant who is absolutely loyal to Su Qi'an.

It was the group of new soldiers who followed Su Qi'an at the earliest, and these people were loyal to Su Qi'an.

The establishment of the soldiers' committee can allow Su Qi'an to control any situation of the low-level soldiers at the first time, even if the regimental and battalion officers above want to do something out of the ordinary.

He also has no soldiers in his hands, and he must pass the soldiers' committee, so that no matter what happens to the army, Su Qi'an can control the army.

Such an army will reassure Su Qi'an, with the reform of the army

Completed, Su Qi'an's development in Daliang has become more and more confident.

After the expansion of the army was completed, the training of new recruits was started as soon as possible, and the Dongshan army of more than 1,000 people at his hand was all dispersed and expanded to an army of 5,000 people.

Each of them, like the branches and leaves of this army, is the backbone of this army.

As long as they are given enough time, Su Qi'an believes that this Dongshan army of 5,000 people will be rejuvenated again.

In Tucheng County, development was in full swing, but this peaceful good day did not last long, about a month later.

Soon, an order from the county guard directly broke the fiery atmosphere.

The directive is very simple, in view of the fact that Su Qi'an has become the lord of Tucheng, according to the law, Tucheng belongs to private territory, therefore, Qingcheng County cut off all connections with Tucheng.

All border checkpoints are closed, and there is no order from the county guard, and all counties under their jurisdiction are prohibited from entering and leaving Tucheng County.

This directive is clearly aimed at Su Qi'an, which is good on the surface, and allows it to develop freely without jurisdiction, but in fact, it is to make Tucheng County an isolated island and cut off all contact with the outside world.

Tucheng County is surrounded by mountains and primeval forests, and some daily necessities all have to rely on transportation from the outside world to survive.

Now everything is cut off, it's okay for a short time, but after a long time, Tucheng County will be cut off, and the people in the city will not be able to live.

This is not the worst, the bad thing is that the county guard's order has only been issued for half a day.

Near the border of Tucheng, a large group of prisoners of unknown origin, who seemed to be exiled, were being driven towards Tucheng County.

Su Qi'an and Wu Yong didn't have to think about it, they knew that this matter was a stumbling block made by the Qingcheng county guard and the high priest.

Originally, Tucheng County was cut off from the outside world, and it was difficult for the city to be self-sufficient, but at this time, with the arrival of this group of displaced prisoners.

In order to want to have another riot in Tucheng County, it is better for the people to make a living, so that they can reap the benefits of the fishermen.
