Chapter 652: War Horn

"Your Highness is really far-sighted. This reserve system is equivalent to hiding soldiers among the people. It's really amazing.

After understanding the reserve system, Chang Wei couldn't help but marvel, and looked at Zhao Xu with admiration.

This is one of the reasons why the King of Yan has an unshakable position in the hearts of all generals.

No one can push the royal army to a higher level like the King of Yan.

Zhao Xu had expected Chang Wei's reaction.

His expression was calm, and he continued: "In addition to the reserve, the army will also set up a sergeant affairs department to be responsible for reserve affairs."

"In addition, in order to increase the enthusiasm of the people to join the army, several policies will be introduced."

"First, during the service period, the soldiers will be exempted from taxes. Second, the selection of military marquises in each state and county will give priority to retired soldiers. Those who have served in the military for more than twelve years will be obliged to arrange positions for retired soldiers after retirement."

"Third, issue sergeant certificates to soldiers and let soldiers enjoy various preferential policies."

Chang Wei wrote them down one by one, his face moved, "Your Highness, you are so good to our soldiers. "

There is no doubt that these policies are extremely beneficial to the soldiers in the army.

The most important thing is that the status of soldiers will be greatly improved in the future.

"This is what you deserve." Zhao Xu stood up.

This is a very cruel era, and wars will be as frequent as summer thunderstorms.

For soldiers facing wars, they endure sufferings that ordinary people cannot bear.

It is right to give them preferential treatment.

Otherwise, it is equivalent to having no conscience.

Putting his hand on Chang Wei's shoulder, he said: "After you go back, you will prepare for this matter."

"Yes, Your Highness. "Chang Wei shouted loudly, thinking of something, he saluted Zhao Xu heavily.

This was the salute Zhao Xu had just taught him.

Everything was self-explanatory.

Zhao Xu also saluted with a smile.

After Chang Wei left, Zhao Xu called Mi Wen over.

Liu Fu and Chang Wei were going to carry out specific matters.

But in addition to implementation, education and reserve forces also need to be vigorously promoted, so this matter can only be handed over to Mi Wen.

After agreeing to this, Mi Wen returned to the newspaper office, and the next day the front page of the newspaper published the policy of seven years of free education.

The front page headlines of the third day were the policy of reserve forces and preferential treatment for sergeants.

These two policies were published one after another, which immediately caused huge ripples in Yancheng.

Because this meant that after the official examination, the King of Yan opened up more channels for the children of poor families to rise.

Some scholars read the newspaper and even burst into tears on the spot because of excitement.

Some people even ran to the front of the king's mansion and knelt for a long time.

Then, the ripples continued to expand. In less than a month, under the promotion of the Propaganda Department, it almost spread to every corner of Yanzhou.

"Is this true or false? "In the northwest of Fanyang County, there is a village called Qingmu.

Just after dinner in the evening, three or five villagers gathered together to chat.

After the Yuan family was driven away, many people moved back from Ping County and Liao County.

After that, they enjoyed the same taxes as the people in Yan County.

After two bumper harvests and participating in large infrastructure projects, the villagers' lives are getting richer and richer.

There is spare money to buy wine and buy new clothes for their families.

With no worries about food and clothing, many of them naturally have higher ideas.

It's just that although it's much better than before.

But if you want to send your children to private schools, the money is still not enough.

So, now that the news of the free public office of the court has come, they are naturally very eager.

The only feeling is that it is a little unbelievable, as if in a dream.

Free public office, this is unprecedented in the ages.

"Is this false? This is something published in the newspaper. Does the newspaper know? It is said that what the newspaper says is what the King of Yan wants to say. "A villager showed the newspaper in his hand.

This was a gift from a merchant who passed by the village and asked for water.

When drinking water in his yard, the merchant told him what was in the newspaper.

Then, the news spread quickly in the village.

Other villagers looked at the newspaper with envy.

This is something new.

But unfortunately, they can't read and don't have the spare money to buy this newspaper.

"Tsk, what are you bragging about? Who hasn't seen a newspaper? Every time someone from the Propaganda Department comes, they hold a newspaper."

"That's right, I picked up a newspaper and my tail is up. ”

“…”

The villagers joked with each other, they were envious, but very calm.

Because it would be late, but the people from the Propaganda Department would definitely come to the village and tell them the latest policies.

Sure enough, within three days, the people from the Propaganda Department arrived in the village.

Bringing various policies such as free public reserve customization and military priority.

In the past, every time the people from the Propaganda Department arrived, the villagers would always surround him.

After listening, they would disperse with reluctance.

But this time, they were so shocked that they forgot to move their feet.

After a while, it suddenly became as noisy as boiling water.

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan really loves us people."

"Yes, he is simply our reborn parents."

“…”

The villagers talked a lot. In their opinion, these policies are absolutely beneficial to them.

For thousands of years, they have been fixed on the land and have been unable to escape from generation to generation.

It is impossible for the children of the family to change their fate through studying.

Even if there is, it is because the daughter of the family has become a concubine of a wealthy family and climbed up the high branch.

But now the King of Yan has given all of them a fair chance, and everyone can go to the public school for free.

Everyone can enter the officialdom through the official examination.

And this is just one way, and now there is a second way and a third way.

If they cannot enter the officialdom, they can also choose to let their children enter the workshop and get a very high monthly salary.

They can also choose to join the army. In the past, if their children joined the army, they would be very lucky to get the salary as usual.

But now, they can enjoy so many benefits when they join the army, which is really enviable.

Thinking of the excitement, the villagers couldn't help but shout "Long live the King of Yan", "Long live the King of Yan"

The shouting even startled the birds in the woods.

The ground was covered with bird droppings.

While various reform policies were constantly spreading, Chang Wei and Liu Fu were also implementing these policies in full swing.

The burden of building the public school fell on the Ministry of Works.

Zou Rong immediately dispatched officials from the Ministry of Works to various counties to supervise the construction of the public school.

Chang Wei established the Military Affairs Department while keeping an eye on the production of military uniforms.

Two months later, the first batch of 60,000 sets of new military uniforms arrived at the army.

At this time, yellow gunpowder and wooden-handled grenades were also stored in sufficient quantities.

He ordered the first batch of military uniforms to be handed over to the front-line troops in Pingyuan City.

He will come to the palace and formally ask the King of Yan to fight.

"Your Highness, the yellow gunpowder and wooden-handled grenades are now fully prepared and can implement the plan to go south. Please issue an order."

"This king orders you to go south immediately and take the initiative to annihilate the enemy!" Zhao Xu said.

Just as he planned, he would not wait for the other party to attack first this time.

Since they are not as fast as he is, they will bear his anger first!
