Liu Buling was surprised and surprised that as the young master of the largest family in the local area, his first impression was that he lived a pampered life and lived a comfortable life.

Even without these negative comments, he should be the kind of person who cannot endure hardship and is unwilling to hang out with his subordinates in the army.

After all, he is the only successor of the Liu family, and he is the future master trained by the Liu family for 60 years, that is, the nobleman trained by the legendary three generations.

Moreover, his starting point was extremely high, and he entered the military industry and immediately became a fifth-rank general of Wude.

This official title is not high in the overall Ming Dynasty, but it is not low in the local area. He is already the commander in charge of thousands of troops in a place. He is actually in short supply and is very popular.

But Liu Bu was surprised by everyone. He moved into the military camp, ate, live and participate in training with the soldiers.

Of course, there is no doubt that his training score is the worst, but no one dares to worry about whether he ran 10 kilometers and did so many military moves every day.

Liu Bu did this with the people and fought with the soldiers, but he cheated the two personal soldiers of Liu Yu and Liu Ning.

Both of them are defined as Liu Bu's left and right hands and close guards. He must follow him wherever Liu Bu goes, even in the military camp.

Since Liu Fuqi learned that Liu Bu had such dirty things in the Liu family mansion, he issued an order to die. Except for going to the cottage, someone must follow him.

So Liu Bu participated in the training, and Liu Ning and Liu Yu also followed him. After all, Liu Ning was eliminated by the most elite border army. He relied on his real skills to join the Liu family as his current servant and became the guard beside Liu Bu.

But his cousin Liu Yu was cheated. Liu Yu was originally a rich young man and donated an official from a hundred households. But looking at the nickname Liu Bu gave him, you will know what kind of person he was.

Every day, he trained with Liu Bu, and was so tired that he almost lay down. He kept complaining about Liu Bu, who would do this by being a thousand-house officer?

Of course, it is necessary for Liu Bu to do this. By participating in training personally, he understands the operation of the place, and then he knows how he should manage it. Although he has a group of capable subordinates, he still has to rely on himself in the end. Many things are born with no one, so he can only learn slowly.

To be honest, the Ming army was able to be corrupt to this point because the senior officers were not at the grassroots level and did not understand the lives of the people below, which led to such a result. This is called "officials do not know generals, generals do not know soldiers, so how can they be defeated?

The officers were high above the soldiers, the soldiers were frozen and hungry, and they didn't care about any psychological burdens, and they didn't want to know anything. They only knew that they would let the soldiers work hard in wars and ignore the lives of the soldiers when they fought. So it would be strange that such an army was undefeated.

Liu Bu decided to change this because his troops conquer the world for him, to protect him, protect his family's interests, their fists, and their relatives. He could not know nothing about them or care about anything.

Liu Yuanqiao is a capable man. He formulated this policy of raising soldiers, which was actually very clever. He really recruited many soldiers who could fight, fight and use for their Liu family.

This is much the same as the military household system of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

In fact, there are many superior systems founded by Zhu Yuanzhang. The army armed with these systems defeated the powerful Mongols and established the Han dynasty.

The advantage of this system is that the court has distributed land to the military households, so that they can farm here for generations and serve as soldiers for generations. In this way, the court can raise a large number of soldiers without spending money, hide the soldiers from the people, and adjust them as soon as they are used.

However, after more than 200 years of development in the Ming Dynasty, the military households basically became the private property of the generals of the garrison station, a tool for making money, and then the combat power was gone.

When the founding of the country, they took out any guards and dared to fight with the Mongols directly. And they were not at a disadvantage, and their combat effectiveness was quite strong. But now, the military households have become slaves, and without food and land, their combat effectiveness has been completely lost.

Liu Yuanqiao's policies are similar to these, but he strongly implemented one thing, that is, the generous welfare system, which is a bit like the system of professional soldiers from Western countries.

Good welfare benefits will naturally attract many soldiers who are willing to work hard.

Now the world is in chaos, and generals from all over the world are recruiting soldiers, and even recruiting soldiers in private. However, the one who is willing to support soldiers like this is probably the Liu Yuanqiao family. Even if the other generals have servants, the number of people is very small, because their money is far from enough to support a large number of people.

Even the most popular Liaodong generals, the Liaoxi generals, and every general under their command, will not have more than 2,000 servants, and it should be said that there are no more than 2,000 people.

Because raising soldiers is an extremely depleting activity that consumes food and money.

The salary of the Ming Dynasty court now is about one tael of silver per month, and the expenditure of various equipment will not exceed half a tael of liang, which means that they can raise a soldier with 18 taels of silver.

But to raise a servant, it will definitely cost nearly three times the cost. The so-called servant means that the generals deprive ordinary soldiers of military pay by embezzling military pay, and use it for these servants, allowing them to be responsible for fighting, and achieving a certain sense of elite military policy.

The cost of raising soldiers in the Liu family is higher, and it will only be higher than that of others.

But it is not as exaggerated as five times and six times. Many people say that the Liu family has to support their soldiers to raise a family of soldiers, but they have not calculated any of the accounts. Even if they enter the Liu family’s farm to work, they still need to work. Who is invited by the Liu family? It’s just a kind of welfare, and these people will also generate value.

The smartest thing about Liu Yuanqiao is that he knows that the soldiers want to eat. If they want the horse to run fast, they will let him eat more grass. The policy of the Ming Dynasty court is that if you don’t eat grass, you have to run to death. Who told you to be my horse?

Liu Bu stayed in the army directly, participated in training, contacted the soldiers, understood the soldiers' ideas, and was able to understand the problems in a timely manner, discover them, and solve them.

If a unit embezzles military pay and welfare, it is the beginning of his collapse, so Liu Bu is extremely strict and serious in terms of welfare system and supply.

The court usually pays military pay at one level and another, but the Liu family and the others are different. They directly set up a department that does not belong to the army, and this department is responsible for the payment. This department is under the control of Liu Fuqi, which is equivalent to the organization of the logistics department. Their money and food will not be passed through the hands of the officers. After the double review by the officers and soldiers, a certificate of receipt will be issued. As long as the soldiers pick up the certificate, they can get the money.

In a sense, this eliminated the practice of officers embezzling military pay, because the money and food were not under his control, and officers were only responsible for fighting and no longer responsible for managing logistics issues.

Moreover, the Liu family directly bribed corrupt officials and obtained a large number of equipment from them. The trained soldiers were better than regular soldiers. The weapons they used were formal spears and sabers, eight-petal pointed helmets and hats. In addition to the lack of bird guns and cannons, there were all in the imperial army, and they were even better than the imperial army and brand new.

They are still recruiting people and are responsible for training these people to see if anyone can meet the standards and then pass. If they pass, they can become members of the Liu family.

However, the Liu family is different from other military and departments. When they started recruiting people, they were equivalent to temporary workers. Temporary workers also had wages, so these people worked very hard and could still get some travel expenses and a bite of food even if they couldn't make it.

Liu Butang, a grandson of aristocratic family, also mingled with the big soldiers, participated in training together, bragged and fucked together. This was mainly to understand problems in a timely manner, discover problems, and then deal with them. He called this study and work.

Once they recruit people, they will transfer to Zangbing Valley for training.

The army is a group organization, and people must be organized to fight. Otherwise, the strength of a team will be exerted. If there are too many people, they will not be able to form fists and will not be able to hit people. Instead, they will form a mess of sand. Training is very important.

Liu Zhongyong is already working on a plan to train servants.

Liu Bu once wondered whether our Liu family is a bit like the Li family in Taiyuan in the late Sui Dynasty?

Except for the inheritance that is not as awesome as the Li family in Taiyuan (except for a thousand years of history), everything else seems to be similar. You need soldiers, generals, and generals, and you can take advantage of the situation.

Liu Zongyong was responsible for recruiting people, and he was responsible for his training. He has always been extremely strict and extremely strict. Everyone was assessed openly and without any secret operations. In the end, 800 of these 1,000 people passed his assessment standards.

This makes it very difficult for Liu Zhongyong to choose. After all, it is a standard set by himself. It is difficult to pass it. Those who pass it will not let others pass it. This will make many people disagree. If anyone is cut off, it will make others very disagree.
