The four hundred and fiftieth chapters three years of Pingliao's expectations
Considering the current territory and population of the Dongjiang Army, there are not many government personnel. Their main tasks are to collect taxes, resettle immigrants, popularize policies, etc., as well as handle some minor disputes among the people.
From this aspect, there are still many shortcomings in government affairs management. For example, in the criminal aspect, it needs to be greatly improved.
But this requires professional talents, who at least understand the law, and can only be developed over a long period of time, cultivated slowly, or introduced from outside.
Fortunately, the place was initially settled, and the people were busy settling down and farming. The folk customs were relatively simple. There were militiamen to help maintain law and order, and the social order was relatively stable.
In order to train government personnel as quickly as possible so that they can be used enough after Pingliao and control government affairs as much as possible, the government formulated relatively loose policies to allow more people to enter the government system.
Some government affairs require relatively high cultural knowledge, while others are not so strict and can be mastered through continuous practice and become proficient.
For example, village affairs management will gradually be taken over by government personnel recruited by the government, thus changing the traditional management model in which imperial power does not go to the countryside.
With a primary school diploma, Xiang Xiaoqin can become the most junior government official and no longer a handyman, which is a complete change.
Chen Wenxiu glanced at Xiaoqin who was still serving food not far away, and was sincerely happy for her. She said with a smile: "I hope she will be happy. Tell her the good news as soon as possible!"
A few days ago, Yang Daman came to the town government with his wife and children, handled relevant matters such as preferential treatment for military dependents, and successfully moved to a large courtyard.

Coincidentally, Yang Daman met Xiaoqin again. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, Xiaoqin had not forgotten it. Seeing Yang Daman reunited with his family, I was happy for him, but I also felt lost and melancholy.
Wu Qing sighed and said: "This girl is really not involved in the matter. It's good that she doesn't have to think about it now. If there is a suitable person to help her keep an eye on her, she will have a home soon, and she will feel at ease."
After experiencing a painful marriage, Wu Qing seemed to have seen through something, and she did not want to find another man or be burdened by her family anymore.
This may just be her state of mind in a short period of time, or it may be that she has not yet met a man who can change her mind.
Although Chen Wenxiu went out to work in public, she was forced by life to support herself and her daughter. She did not want to remarry hastily, but unlike Wu Qing, she still had the traditional feudal thoughts in her head.
But the two women who came here were very concerned about Xiaoqin's future. They both hoped that she would get married as soon as possible, have a complete family, and live a good life.
After all, Xiaoqin has reached the age of marriage, which can even be regarded as a late marriage of that era.
"I don't know what she is thinking, is she willing to live a normal life?" Chen Wenxiu put down her job and said uncertainly: "Maybe she also wants to find a soldier?"
Wu Qing blinked her big eyes, thought for a while, and said: "If you want to marry a soldier, I think it's okay to wait for another two or three years. By then, Liaodong should be settled. There will be no wars, and there will be no worries.
"
Three years of peace and Liao Dynasty! This will soon become the propaganda slogan of the government, in order to unite all the soldiers and civilians, concentrate all their strength, and launch a decisive battle against the Jianlu.
A large number of immigrants continued to pour in, bearing the burden of food and salary for the officers and soldiers of Liao Town, which also caused considerable pressure on Dongjiang Town. The official warehouse storage continued to decrease, which also attracted the attention of the government.
According to estimates, if consumption continues at this rate, the official warehouse may not be able to support the autumn harvest next year.
Of course, a famine is unlikely. Dongjiang Town can first purchase grain from outside, and the people still have a large amount of grain in their hands.
The taxes in Dongjiang Town were relatively low compared to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, high-yielding and early-maturing crops were planted, so the people had a lot of surplus grain.
In order to make up for the shortage of official warehouses and ensure that they can support the army and the people, the government presided over by Chen Jisheng has decided to purchase a large amount of the people's surplus grain.
But the common people's worries about famine still exist. After paying taxes, they only sell a small part to buy other household items, and the rest is basically stored.
Who knows what the weather will be like next year? If my family doesn’t have enough food in storage, I will always feel uneasy.
In order to successfully purchase a large amount of grain, we must use publicity to get the people to sell grain and contribute to the early peace of Liao Dynasty.
Of course, for internal purchases, you have to pay military bills; for external purchases, you have to spend real money. It is normal for the government to have such considerations.
In fact, although Chen Jisheng had some concerns about the lack of food supplies, he was not very worried yet.
The royalties issued by the imperial court and the profits from Dongjiang Town's trade can all be used as funds for external purchases. In addition, there is also the huge amount of money Guo Dajing himself earned.
But Chen Jisheng didn't want to involve too much in problems that he could solve by himself, as it would appear that he had no ability.
Chen Wenxiu felt that what Wu Qing said made sense. Soldiers were indeed very popular in Dongjiang Town, but they were risking their lives.
Although the disabled are provided with support and those killed in battle are compensated, how can the psychological and emotional damage be easily compensated and repaired?
"I'll ask her if she has time to go shopping together." Chen Wenxiu also wants to find a companion. If Xiaoqin is interested, we can go shopping together. Zhen'er is also very close to Xiaoqin, which is really good.
matter.
Wu Qing also wanted Xiaoqin to go out and relax, and agreed with a smile.
After dinner, Chen Wenxiu told Xiaoqin about going to the market. Zhen'er also begged and coquettishly asked, and Xiaoqin agreed to go out with them after finishing the work.
Although she is somewhat frustrated mentally, Xiaoqin, like other immigrants, such as Chen Wenxiu who arrived later, is still very satisfied with her current life.
Compared with the mainland, life here is relatively simple and you are not tired.
This is probably the common mentality of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town. As long as you are not lazy and are willing to work hard, supporting your family in Hukou will not be a problem.
………………
Only internal stability can allow the army to fight with peace of mind and provide the driving force for continuous development and growth.
It is no secret that the three years of Ping Liao and Liao Dynasties were finally determined. The soldiers and civilians saw the hope of a stable life without war, and also gave the army a goal to forge ahead.
After more than ten years of war, many families have been destroyed, how many people have been displaced, and how many relatives have been scattered. The dawn has appeared, and who doesn’t hope that it can be completed as scheduled?
"The production progress is still good, but there is still potential to be tapped." Guo Dajing summoned the personnel sent by the arsenal in Gaizhou, listened to their reports, and reluctantly praised them.
Zhao Qingshan and others listened respectfully. They should be proud of being able to contribute to the three years of Ping Liao.
Mortars and rockets are the most produced, and there are also field guns, but they only occupy a small amount of manpower and material resources.
The production and manufacturing of muskets is relatively stable, and purchases from the Portuguese have not stopped, which can fully ensure the expansion of the army and the equipment for the officers and soldiers of Liao Town.
Guo Dajing continued to arrange: "The number of craftsmen has increased a lot, and they have all turned to the production of ammunition. With the war, the amount consumed is quite huge."
The Dongjiang Army's tactical play has been basically determined. The firepower advantage must not only be maintained, but also stronger, causing a crushing blow to the Jianlu.
Although Pingliao in three years is an exciting goal and slogan, Guo Dajing still has the determination and confidence to complete it ahead of schedule.
The deadline is calculated from next year. If everything goes well, Guo Dajing hopes to launch a decisive battle next year.
There is a time window for fighting in Liaodong.
If you want to give full play to the role of the navy, you must avoid the freezing period of the river. To ensure that firearms can be used as normally as possible, rainy seasons are not suitable. Similarly, to ensure logistical supplies, you must also take into account the impact of rainy and muddy weather.
Therefore, when choosing the time for a war, it usually can only start in autumn and end in the middle of winter, which is probably only two or three months, or even shorter.
However, Guo Dajing did not rely entirely on the navy, and was not afraid of winter operations. He could forcibly extend the operation time to half a year.
When the river is not frozen, you can sail on boats, and when it is frozen, you can use sledges and sledges. Whoever said that winter is more suitable for fighting against the enemy, he wants to break this concept.
This winter, major military training will be carried out to make the army more adaptable to winter operations and to prepare equipment and equipment for winter operations.
"Guo Shuai, the problem we are facing now is the shortage of raw materials." Zhao Qingshan has a close relationship with Guo Dajing, so there is no need to flinch when speaking, and there is no need to hide it. "It is difficult to guarantee the production quantity."
Guo Dajing nodded and said: "In the letter, someone already knew about this situation and started to solve it. Your task is to flexibly allocate labor to prevent production from coming to a standstill."
Sulfur, iron, and copper are the three major raw materials needed by the arsenal.
The collection and cooking of soil saltpeter has been carried out in southern Liaoning for two years, with great results. Coupled with the purchase from the Japanese country, the imperial court's deployment can basically guarantee it.
Sulfur is a bit more troublesome. It basically depends on being shipped in from outside. Whether it is allocated by the court or purchased by the Japanese country, there will be a gap.
The situation is similar for iron materials and copper materials. Outsourcing can only be increased to ensure production needs.
In the final analysis, apart from continuing to apply for transfer from the imperial court, you can only spend your own money to solve the problem.
In Guo Dajing's view, problems that can be solved with money are not problems, they just take longer.
As long as the management of the arsenal can be more flexible and scientific, the overall production progress will not be affected. If there is a shortage of this or that, we will not be short of everything. We have to stop work and wait for materials, right?
Guo Dajing had already formulated rules and regulations for the arsenal and carried out overall planning. Obviously, it is still difficult to achieve the rigor of later generations.
This is still a war that can only be won by spending money. Although Guo Dajing has already defined it, he still feels helpless at this time.
After listening to the report, Guo Dajing arranged food and drinks to entertain the managers of the arsenal.
After drinking and eating, Guo Dajing chatted with Zhao Qingshan alone again, not forgetting the closeness of his old friend.
"Three years of Pingliao have been determined?" Zhao Qingshan asked tentatively: "In other words, there are still two years of preparation time?"
Guo Dajing smiled faintly and said: "Maybe it will be less than two years, or it can be even earlier. Therefore, the production at the arsenal cannot be slackened, and we will work hard as long as the materials can be guaranteed."
Zhao Qingshan thought that three years had gone very quickly, but he did not expect that Guo Dajing still had the confidence to advance. He nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, don't worry."
"Brother Zhao finally got married, but I was very busy here and couldn't go to have a wedding drink." Guo Dajing said a little apologetically: "I only found out about it later, and you didn't even notify me."
Zhao Qingshan waved his hands with a smile and said: "You are busy with big things. I just marry a woman. It's just a trivial matter. How can I dare to cause you trouble?"
"Based on our relationship, how can we say it's troublesome?" Guo Dajing recalled the worst time and couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast!"
Zhao Qingshan smiled and said: "At that time, I just thought about escaping and having food to eat so as not to starve to death. Who could have expected that life would be as good as it is now? After two or three years, Liaodong will be pacified.
I can finally live a peaceful life."
At that time, Guo Dajing did not expect that this day would come, at least he did not expect that it would happen so soon. Perhaps it was destined that as a time traveler, he had good luck and everything went smoothly.
"The craftsmen usually have discussions and have their own ideas about their future life." Zhao Qingshan looked at Guo Dajing and said slowly: "As long as Mao Shuai and you can take charge, it will always be reassuring."
Guo Dajing smiled and nodded, and said: "I am very pleased that I did not disappoint the soldiers and the people. Now, the court can only count on Dongjiang Town to pacify Liao and exterminate the captives, and there will be no changes for Marshal Mao and me."
"Although the war is still going on, the people are living well, much better than at home." Zhao Qingshan said: "Looking at the miserable state of the victims, who would not be satisfied and grateful!"
"There is no discrimination or bullying against the newly arrived immigrants, right?" Guo Dajing asked with great concern: "With so many influxes, it has not caused any bad effects, right?"
Zhao Qingshan thought for a while and said: "Old people always feel a little condescending to newcomers, and bullying is not to mention."
This seems normal. It is unrealistic to be as close to strangers as relatives and neighbors all of a sudden. Guo Dajing blinked his eyes and thought.
Zhao Qingshan immediately added: "If there is enough land, there will be fewer conflicts. If there is no competition, there will be fewer conflicts."
As long as the new immigrants do not touch the interests of the original people, there will naturally be no contradiction.
Just like in later generations, if immigrants affect the employment and welfare of indigenous people, they will naturally be excluded and discriminated against. The main reason is the competition for resources, making it difficult to live in harmony.
Guo Dajing does not expect to live in harmony. As long as they live in peace and pass through the critical period of two to three years, there will be no need to worry about conflicts of interest among the people in the fertile fields after Pingliao.
In Guo Dajing's mind, Liaodong should not just be the current territory, but should be called Northeast, which would be more accurate.
Go to the Great Northern Wilderness and break through Guandong. Let alone hundreds of thousands of people, even millions or tens of millions are nothing to the development of the Northeast and the expansion of the territory to the north.
