With silver, all difficulties will be solved.

The daily work of the county government can operate normally;

The rewards for the meritorious service of the soldiers who killed the enemy can be cashed;

Kongfang's funds for the development of pig breeding have been solved;

The military expenses of the county soldiers don't have to worry anymore.

Looking at the piles of gold and silver in front of him, Kong Fang found Zhu Dachang so cute for the first time.

After the inventory and registration were completed, the gold, silver and jewelry were sealed into the box again, and Kong Fang summoned the officials and ordered them to carry the wooden box into the county government treasury and send special personnel to guard it.

The next day, the county barracks were noisy and lively, and each county soldier seemed to have eaten three catties of bee droppings, and his eyes were so smiling that he could hardly see the road.

On the parade platform, a red silk cloth banner was pulled, and the book read: Warmly celebrate the victory of the great victory of the bandits. There was a row of tables in front of the banner, with the county magistrate in the center, and the chief and deputy captains and lieutenants Luo sitting on the side.

In front of the table were boxes of white silver, which were very dazzling in the morning sun.

Master Kong presided over the grand event. He first asked the magistrate to speak. It's a pity that few of the county soldiers in the audience have read books, and they are not interested in the words of the county magistrate, and they basically go in and out of the left ear.

But because of the constraints of military discipline, they still stood straight, but their expressions gradually appeared impatient.

Kong Fang stood on the stage and quickly spotted Duanxi, but he didn't get mad on the spot. Because these people were tenant farmers, peddlers, and pawns at the bottom of the Daxing Dynasty half a month ago.

They have no culture and no faith, because they are eager to deal with Zhu Chongjiu's threat, and since the formation of the county army, they have only blindly strengthened their training in fighting skills.

As for the cultural and ideological transformation, which is almost zero, it is quite commendable that they can persist in standing.

Kong Fang was a man in two lifetimes, although he had never been in the army, but he had watched a lot of military-themed film and television dramas, and he believed that an army without faith and thought could not be a heroic army that could not be defeated in a hundred battles.

And in order to complete the transformation of their thinking, we must first make them educated.

This is a plan that Kong Fang has been brewing.

After the county magistrate finished speaking, it was time for the award ceremony. The rewards of the chief and deputy captains and Luo Xiaowei were personally awarded by the magistrate, and the rewards of the others were awarded by the chief and deputy captains, and the master was responsible for the roll call as always.

All the county soldiers and pro-soldiers received their own rewards, and everyone drooled happily. It's like those county soldiers, most of them are poor families, and they may not be able to earn a tael of silver all year round.

They cherish the reward they have received.

After the reward was distributed, the captain Fang Shiqing announced that in addition to the necessary personnel on duty, the other county soldiers would take a day off and be allowed to go home to save their relatives.

At this order, the whole camp boiled.

After the arrangement was completed, Fang Shiqing took the lead in riding the jujube red horse and drove away. Kong Fang looked at her back as the wind passed away, this tiger girl was as old as ever.

"My sister has been busy with military affairs, she hasn't been back to Fangjiazhuang for a few days, and there are a bunch of affairs at home that she needs to deal with, so she is in a hurry."

Fang Shiyi explained softly.

For his sister-in-law's empathy, Kong Fang has always been full of gratitude. But the barracks are about discipline, he is not there, Fang Shiqing is the biggest, and everyone must listen to her.

If he is here, he is Chief Fang Shiqing, and everyone, including Fang Shiqing, must obey his orders.

Fang Shiqing's presumptuous behavior made him even more determined to reform the county soldiers.

He said goodbye to Luo Wenpeng, dismissed Kong Yiji, and brought Fang Shiyi to the big tent of the county soldiers. This is the team headquarters of the county corps, where Fang Shiqing and Fang Shiyi usually work.

Fang Shiyi saw Kong Fang's serious face, and thought that he was still angry with his sister, and was about to open his mouth to be relieved, but Kong Fang had already taken the lead in speaking, "Shiyi, how are you feeling these days?" ”

Fang Shiyi was obviously stunned for a moment, because she didn't expect Kong Fang to ask this question. It took her a while to come back to her senses.

"It's good."

She bowed slightly.

"What do you think of the county corps?" Kong Fang continued to ask.

This time, Fang Shiyi didn't rush to answer, because she vaguely felt that Kong Fang was testing her.

The various situations of the entire county army swirled repeatedly in her mind, and she carefully thought about it, looking for the problem points.

"After these days of training and the battle of Wengcheng, although they are not yet well-trained, they have improved a lot, and it can even be said that they have been reborn."

"Even if the mountain bandits on Litou Mountain attack the city again, we still have the strength to fight again, and even better."

Fang Shiyi is full of confidence in the county soldiers.

Kong Fang was noncommittal, he was very patient with the cheap sister-in-law, "Why did we form county soldiers?" Who are we fighting for?"

"Of course, it's to exterminate the mountain bandits." Fang Shiyi didn't think twice.

"As for who to fight for?"

She raised her head slightly, her jade hand held her head and thought for a long time, and then her brows eased, as if she had found the answer, "Of course, it's for you, brother-in-law." You are the magistrate of Qinghe County, the county army was formed by you, and the army was sent by you, if you don't fight for you, who are you fighting for. ”

Kong Fang chuckled. Fang Shiyi's answer was expected by him, but it was not the answer he wanted. He no longer let Fang Shiyi guess dumb, but opened his heart to her.

At the beginning of the formation of the county army, he really only thought about targeting the mountain bandits in Litou Mountain.

But after discussing the situation in the world with Luo Wenpeng, he changed his original mind. Because as long as he is still the magistrate of Qinghe County, he must shoulder the responsibility of defending the land.

As the situation in the world deteriorates, Qinghe County will face not only the mountain bandits on Litou Mountain, but also the threat of strong enemy soldiers such as the Yellow Horn and Black Turban Army.

The Daxing Dynasty was richer in the south than in the north, and Kong did not dare to guarantee that the rebels would not move south. Once they go south, it is a matter of whether Qi Shuai's soldiers and horses can stop them.

Whether he is willing to resist or not is another question.

People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

Before a strong enemy attacked, he had to train a strong army, even if he didn't compete with the Central Plains, he could protect the safety of Qinghe County.

An invincible army must not only have the best armor and the best swords, guns and arrows, but also culture, faith, and discipline.

They must understand who they are fighting for and what the meaning of the war is.

This is a significant and extremely difficult soul transformation project, as in this era, in the face of this group of county soldiers who used to work only for three meals a day, the difficulties can be imagined.

Kong Fang's words gushed endlessly, and Fang Shiyi listened carefully.

Just listening to it, the emotion on her face changed from tranquility to excitement, and her gaze at Kong Fang became more hot and adoring.

It wasn't until Kong Fang told her that he was going to give her this great work to do that she woke up.

"Brother-in-law, can I do it?" She was hesitant.

The brother-in-law's ideals are too great, and the grandeur of the goals is almost beyond this era, and she is worried that she has more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and she will delay the big thing.

Kong Fang looked affirmative, "You can do it." ”
