"What?" Cui Changri thought he hadn't heard clearly. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Does the government not care about private fights?"
"Of course we have to control it. It's definitely not allowed to fight on the street, but it's legal to go to a special place. By the way, this is the proposal of His Highness King Ji. In his words, this is called not suppressing wildness. It's human. When you are angry, you always have to express it. Otherwise, over time, people will lose their ambition and fighting spirit. By the way, even if you fight in a special place, you cannot kill someone, nor can you seriously injure someone. Otherwise, the perpetrators will still be held accountable."
When Pu Defa said this, he sighed in his heart. Compared with other places in Daqian, where things are suppressed, it is obvious that King Ji's policy of blocking is better than sparing is more rational. More importantly, the people With their wild nature, once they are invaded, their true nature will be revealed and they will not be easily enslaved by others. This is the most terrifying thing.
Fortunately, Goryeo never meant to harm Da Gan. On the contrary, now that they are cooperating with Jizhou, they are becoming stronger and their own safety is more guaranteed, which is actually a good thing.
When Cui Changri entered the city, he was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. His eyesight was a bit unsatisfactory. He saw so many things that he could not see before, or even thought of. Such as spacious and clean streets, law-abiding but with People with their own ideas. Of course, the issue that impressed him most was the purchase and sale of basic grains.
There are many grain stores in Jicheng, but only those grain stores authorized by the government will have a big official name on them. There are obviously more people queuing in front of such grain stores. According to Pu Defa's introduction, such grain stores are It was opened by the Jizhou government. The price of food there is very cheap, and even the cost cannot be calculated. It is to solve the problem of people having no food to eat and being hungry.
The price of rice in such a grain store is only half of that in the market. However, every registered Jicheng citizen can come here with their identity certificate to buy their basic rations for this month. With these grains, they are enough to ensure that they will not go hungry. .Of course, if you want to eat better, you will have to pay a high price to buy food beyond the basic food.
"This is very good, but the government has to pay a large sum of money every month. I'm afraid there is not enough economic foundation to support it." Cui Changri was speechless after hearing this, and was amazed by King Ji's financial resources.
"Haha." Pu Defa showed a weird smile, "Yes, I had the same idea as you before. But it wasn't until I really understood it that I discovered that some people's lives are better and they want to eat better and more. After the basic rations, they would come to the grain store opened by the government to buy grains. This can be regarded as reciprocating the favor. In this way, the government does not need to subsidize too much money, and can make up for it from the income from selling grains here. By the way. , just because of the people's act of repaying their kindness, there are fewer and fewer other grain stores in the city. There is no way, they can't defeat the government, and the people trust the government more."
Tang Ao did not use coercive means, but he controlled the entire food trade in the city. The people still cooperated willingly. This proves his high level of means and strong ability.
Cui Changri couldn't help but sigh after learning about the process, "This King Ji is really a strange person and a great talent. But I just don't know if these policies will be able to be implemented after Xianjun is also restored."
How about we also implement it there?"
"Hahaha, you have to ask this in person. If you are lucky, you might be able to meet His Royal Highness King Ji." After hearing what Cui Changri said, Park Defa knew that Xianjun had surrendered.
It's not far to Jizhou.
...
Shanshan Guards Camp.
Although it is winter and the temperature has reached more than 20 degrees below zero, there are still crowds of people and horses galloping on the training ground.
On ancient battlefields, cavalry was undoubtedly one of the most powerful arms. Not only were they fast, they were more flexible in maneuvering, and once they launched an attack, their momentum was more ferocious, leaving few enemies.
Tang Ao had long wanted to form a powerful cavalry, but due to the lack of horses, he was unable to do so. Now, he fought a battle with Beidi and the Huns and won a great victory. Even the king of Beidi
They were all captured. As the victor, with enough war horses, the establishment of a powerful cavalry team was put on the agenda.
As a result, the Shanshan Guard has expanded again and again, from the original three thousand to the current eight thousand. And there are still one person and three horses.
Speaking of which, having one person and three horses is a bit of a luxury. But in Tang Ao's view, this is a very necessary thing.
Soldiers are more valuable than more. As long as they have enough combat power, they can win the battle on the battlefield. This is the result Tang Ao wants.
In order to take advantage of the fast speed of cavalry, it is very important to have one person and three horses. One horse carries soldiers, one horse pulls armor and weapons and other equipment, and one horse pulls the rations needed for the army to move. The advantage of this is that,
The Mountain-Shaking Guards can become light cavalry, taking advantage of their speed advantage. When encountering a difficult bone, they can also quickly transform into heavy cavalry, armed to the teeth, charging into the formation and delivering a heavy blow to the opponent.
As the number of troops increased, Feng Xun's responsibilities as the commander of the Shanshan Guards naturally increased a lot. According to his idea, after reporting it to the General Staff and then to Tang Ao for approval, the Shanshan Guards became eight
Battalions, each with a thousand men, can be assembled to fight, or they can fight independently.
The emergence of such a cavalry gave the Jizhou Army the ability to strike at long range. Today Tang Ao came to the military camp to review the training results of the army.
One battalion after another appeared on the parade stage, walking past Tang Ao with a full military posture. Then they performed horsemanship, charging, outflanking, breaking through the enemy's formation with arrow formations and other subjects.
"Not bad." After reading it, Tang Ao had a look of satisfaction on his face, "But we can't be satisfied with the status quo. We need to increase the level of training. Don't worry that the soldiers will not be able to stand it physically. You must know that the more you sweat during training, the more you can do in battle.
Less bloodshed. The common people send their children to the military camps, which shows their full trust in us, and we are also responsible for the lives of all soldiers."
Looking at the 8,000 Shanshan Guards who had already formed a fighting force, Tang Ao made a new request. "Train boldly and don't be afraid that someone will be injured during training. This is better than going to the battlefield and being killed by the enemy because of their lack of skills."
.We also need to increase the food nutrition for the soldiers. The training intensity is high and the nutrition must keep up. If you need anything, you can apply to the General Staff and then go to the General Logistics Department to get it."
"No." Feng Xun agreed with a smile. Now the Logistics and Logistics Department has been renamed the General Logistics Department, and Geng Liang, one of the former three guards, is in charge. If Feng Xun lacks something, there is no way to say that he is not trying his best.
.
"The New Year is coming soon, and spring will enter in two months. There is not much time left for Shanshan Guard training. You must seize the time." Tang Ao thought of something and gave another instruction.
"Master, is there any big battle to be fought?" Hearing this, Feng Xun rubbed his hands with excitement. If a strong army cannot go to the battlefield, it will undoubtedly be a very regretful thing.
"Whether there will be a big battle depends on the situation. There are always small battles. There are still many bandits in the mountains, especially in the northeast, where the dense forests are a natural protective color for the bandits. After the spring, these people's
It’s time to solve the problem.”
"The Northeast is very deserted. Apart from the bandits who have nowhere to go, there don't seem to be any common people." Feng Xun asked with a look of doubt on his face.
"Yes, there are not many people there, but there is enough fertile black land there. During this period, more and more people have come to our Jizhou. There is no problem for the time being, but as time goes by, the fields will inevitably be insufficient.
The magistrate and the governor have talked about this matter many times. If we occupy it as soon as possible, we will have more arable land, which can be considered as a precautionary measure."
Originally, there was no need for Tang Ao to explain anything to a former guard, but after all, he was from a later generation, and the concept of hierarchy in his mind was not that strong. Because of this, only those below him dared to ask if they didn't understand something.
If it were another vassal king, see if there were that many people below.
Naturally, there are benefits to doing this. For example, Tang Ao's patient explanation allowed the following officials to understand his thoughts better. When they encounter similar things in the future, they can find solutions to the problem first.
, and then reported it to Tang Ao.
After all, what Tang Ao is training is the self-care ability of the officials below. What Jicheng needs are officials who can find problems and solve them. Not the kind of officials who only know how to flatter horses every day and whitewash the peace, but when problems arise, they will
Officials who blame each other and have no ability to solve problems.
It is precisely because of Tang Ao's actions that Jizhou officials are very capable of doing things. Perhaps in terms of knowledge and qualifications, they are somewhat different from the courtiers in Daliang City, and even compared to the courtiers of some old lords.
, but when it comes to his ability to solve problems, he has already surpassed these seniors by an unknown amount.
"I understand, young master, don't worry. After the beginning of spring, our Shanshan Guards will be dispatched in batches. This is just for military training. We will definitely solve the bandit problem in the northeastern mountains." Feng Xun, who was gearing up, could not wait for this moment.
Time flies faster, it’s nice to see them shaking the mountain guard and killing everyone.
In fact, not only the Shanshan Guards, but other armies have also mixed recruits from the reserves into the ranks and strengthened their training. In Tang Ao's words, the number of armies has increased, and their combat effectiveness must also be improved.
.We cannot have numbers but lose combat effectiveness, or the combat effectiveness drops instead. If this is the case, it is better not to expand the army.
