Chapter 25 Production Corps

"Remember, Your Highness." Lu Fei clenched his fists. Xiao Ming's words were definitely not without purpose. He asked, "Your Highness, do you want to restore the military system of the government?"

"Precisely, in the early days of the Great Yu Nationality, the government adopted the military system, integrating the soldiers into the farmers, but today, the people have no land to cultivate, and the government military system has gradually disappeared in name only, and it has become the current military recruitment system." Xiao Ming lightly brushed the dust on his body. Luo Xue said, "Now the six prefectures are in need of development, and everything should be planned for farming. I am going to temporarily implement the government military system. Soldiers and farmers in each prefecture will return to the fields when they are busy and train troops when they are slack. This will reduce the financial pressure, and secondly, it will speed up the restoration of the six states. State production, what do you think?"

Lu Fei pondered for a while, then said: "Your Highness, it is not impossible to restore the military system of the government. Now Your Highness is the king of the six states, and your order is our sergeant's duty, but now most of the people who join the army are people who have no land to farm. To restore the military system of the government, Today's soldiers also have no land to farm."

Xiao Ming had already anticipated this problem, he said to Lu Fei: "I have thought about this problem, so the restored government military system at this time is somewhat different from the previous government military system."

"Please also make it clear, Your Highness."

Xiao Ming continued: "The people who have fields can naturally return to their hometowns to farm. If the soldiers who don't have fields can cultivate the official fields, the grain harvested from the official fields can be used as food for the army. What do you think?"

Lu Fei laughed dumbly. After a long time, Xiao Ming was trying to get the Qingzhou army to cultivate his land. He has always been upright and said bluntly: "Hmph, I really think about the people of the fief when I become His Royal Highness, it turned out to be for my own land. ."

Xiao Ming is not angry. Anyone who sees it now, Xiao Ming is all for himself.

He laughed loudly, "If Colonel Lu looked at me like this, it would be a big mistake. Not only will I not take a cent from my property, but the harvest from the property will also be handed over to the treasury. As you said, the fief It’s all mine, should I compare these gains and losses? In my opinion, if the people are rich, the fiefs will be rich, and if the people are strong, the fiefs will be strong. If you don’t believe me, this king can make a letter and hand it over to Pang Changshi, how about that?”

Lu Fei was stunned. The royal family of the Great Yu Kingdom and the rich and powerful family were not accumulating money for their own use. Now Xiao Ming wants to confiscate his own property, which is unprecedented.

"Your Highness, do you really do it?" Lu Fei asked again.

"Yes, the gentleman is quick with his words." Xiao Ming looked directly at Lu Fei. This thorn is not easy to deal with. "The only thing I worry about is that the soldiers will not believe me, so I need you to come forward to execute this matter."

Nodding slowly, Lu Fei said: "The last general will trust His Highness again. If His Highness fulfills his promise, Lu Fei will swear to serve His Highness, because His Highness is a sage master, if His Highness goes back on his word, Lu Fei can only bring The soldiers have gone elsewhere."

"This king doesn't want to have a group of thieves led by you on the land." Xiao Ming said lightly, Lu Fei's prestige in the army is very high, this sentence is not bragging, if he really fell into trouble, a large number of soldiers would definitely follow.

"In this case, the soldiers are up to me to persuade." Lu Fei nodded heavily.

The snow was getting bigger, and the road could no longer be seen dozens of meters away. Now the location of the property is also clear, and the plan to transform the army into a production corps has also been supported by Lu Fei.

This was an important step for him, as the recruiting system made the military a big financial drain.

The financial difficulties and the inability to raise troops is also the reason why the fiefs of one million households have less than 5,000 troops. Insufficient numbers and extremely poor equipment, this is his army, and it is no different from a gang of bandits.

In order to change the current situation of poverty and whiteness, we must implement the military model of building a production corps to reduce the military's financial consumption.

In fact, this model of building and producing corps is also called troop formation, and this model will appear in every era of material scarcity.

On the way back, Xiao Ming continued to instill the essentials of the Production and Construction Corps to Lu Fei. He was going to divide the army into two parts, a production corps and a construction corps.

The Construction Corps is responsible for mining, road, and river dam construction.

Lu Fei was a rough man, and he didn't know much about the previous military system. After Xiao Ming told him the necessity of building a production corps in such a detailed manner, he suddenly realized.

"His Royal Highness, Lu Fei is wrong. It turns out that His Highness is working hard. In this case, we can now announce the recruitment and expand the 5,000 to the normal number of 50,000." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, but we can't expand so many people at once. Our food can't support it now, so how about we recruit 5,000 people first, and then continue to expand when the official fields are harvested?"

"I ignored that." Lu Fei patted his head and smiled cheerfully, "But His Royal Highness promised that the sergeants who built the production corps would get ten acres of fertile land and inherit it from generation to generation. Destroy the Governor's Mansion."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming also laughed, this is a benefit of the New Deal, and it is also to promote the people to join the army enthusiastically, "I don't care about this matter, let you, Lu Tiger, toss it out on your own."

Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, then laughed naively, this Tiger Lu was his nickname in the army, when Xiao Ming called it out, he immediately felt a little closer to Xiao Ming.

In the past month, Xiao Ming has deeply realized that it is not easy to be a vassal king. He needs to be able to use carrots and sticks, government affairs, and bows and horses.

Now he can be said to be a full-time all-rounder.

Under the heavy snow, a group of more than 30 rode towards Qingzhou City.

Halfway through the road, suddenly a group of hazy figures appeared not far away, and this pedestrian was galloping towards them.

"Who, stop!" Lu Fei suddenly shouted, the last assassination incident made him still very sensitive.

He couldn't see faces clearly in the heavy snow, so he had to be prepared for accidents.

In an instant, the thirty or so cavalry that accompanied Xiao Ming protected Xiao Ming in the middle, bent bows and arrows on horseback, ready to shoot at any time.

The pedestrian didn't seem to hear Lu Fei's scolding, and still rushed over from behind. Seeing that the pedestrian was getting closer and closer, Lu Fei raised his hand and ordered the arrow to be fired.

At this moment, someone in the pedestrian suddenly shouted, "Steward Qian, you have to hold on!"

"Wait, it's Qian Dafu." Xiao Ming immediately told his soldiers to put down their bows and arrows. Sure enough, the group came near, and it was Qian Dafu and others who went out to find mines.

But at this time, Qian Dafu was lying on the horse's back, and a sharp arrow pierced his back.
