Chapter 227 Enrich the people and strengthen the army, the reform of Beibinghe Town!
The world is chaotic, and evildoers appear frequently.
Many people think that they have read poetry and books and traveled all over the world, and their knowledge is broad enough, but they are still refreshed by what happened in these years.
As the war between the six countries intensifies, new things that have never been seen before are everywhere in the world.
Of course, what comes with the war must be the destruction of the wives and children.
The world is full of people fleeing famine.
However, countries are fighting in melee, and the whole world is like a pot of boiling water. Who can escape the flames of war?
There may be places far away from the flames of war.
But compared to the hundreds of millions of ordinary people in the world, the lives of most people are like a piece of duckweed floating in the flames of war. No one knows whether the next wave will hit or not. Can continue to float on the water.
At this moment of turmoil in the world, Beibinghe Town should be one of the rare paradises, because the north of Beibinghe Town is directly adjacent to Shiwanda Mountain, which is the territory of Little Fox, an ally of the Star-Moon Army.
The neighboring country to the south is Da Zhou, but Da Zhou has just been repelled by Li Yueming's army, and Da Qi is making troubles on the border, so he has no energy to take care of the affairs of Beibinghe Town.
Not to mention the west side, there is Zhenxi Army guarding Renhuang Pass, as long as the Qin army does not move in full force, the west side can be guaranteed to be relatively stable, and Da Qin is also too busy to take care of himself at the moment. The plundered materials have not been digested yet, and there is no plan to go to war in a short time.
Under such circumstances, several other countries were in chaos, but Beibinghe Town was rarely restored to calm in this chaotic world.
According to the rough calculations of the upper echelons of the Star-Moon Army, this hard-won war window period may last for twenty or thirty years. This should be the last critical golden period for the development of Beibinghe Town before the next catastrophe that will affect the entire continent. Whether they can win the Central Plains against the sky and change their fate depends on how Beibinghe Town and the Xingyue Army can develop in the past thirty years.
In short, absolutely must not miss any chance.
After making up their minds, the Xingyue Army began to expand on a large scale.
The first is the amount of land actually occupied. In the past, except for Beibinghe Town, which was built along the Beibinghe River, other cities had connections with the Xingyue Army, but they still dared not disclose their relationship with the Xingyue Army. bound together.
The two places in the northwest are controlled by the Xingyue Army and the Zhenxi Army in name only, but in fact it is really just a name. Most of the land in the two places in the Northwest actually belongs to Da Zhou.
Now, the Xingyue Army has defeated the mighty army of the Great Zhou, and many forces in the Northwest and the Northwest immediately actively responded to the call of the Xingyue Army and began to merge into the territory actually controlled by Beibinghe Town on a large scale.
This time the merger is no longer a nominal merger like a few years ago.
Instead, they really changed their course, including the payment of taxes and the appointment and dismissal of official positions. Everything is based on Beibinghe Town.
The reason for this is naturally caused by many factors.
One is naturally that the Xingyue Army has worked so hard in the Northland for so many years, and has won a large number of hearts for itself.
After all, in the past, although the Zhenbei Army and the imperial court would guard the pass, in fact, the interests of most ordinary people and small and medium-sized families could not provide protection.
In other words, when the Qin army invaded the Northlands in the past ten years or so, it was not the low-level peasants who suffered the most, but the ordinary people and small and medium-sized families.
After all, the peasants at the bottom do not have land themselves, and even if they are not affected by the war, they still go hungry from time to time.
It is the group of landed farmers and the small and medium-sized landlords entrenched in the countryside who are really suffering.
The fields were destroyed by the Qin army, so they could only wander around like refugees, living a life away from home.
Under such circumstances, the arrival of the Xingyue Army provided them with a shot in the arm.
Different from the Zhenbei Army stationed in important passes, the Xingyue Army is mostly stationed in some small and medium-sized towns. They are well-trained and high-spirited, and they can fight the Qin Army head-on without losing the wind.
In the past ten years, I don’t know how many people in small and medium-sized towns have been protected.
Later, the twelve cities in the Northland were all captured by the Qin army. Under the iron cavalry of the Qin army, basically no forces at the more important passes were able to survive.
I am afraid that ten of the twelve cities in the Northland have become empty cities.
Because attacking impoverished small and medium-sized towns was not worth the loss, the Qin army didn't have much energy to rob the resources of small and medium-sized towns.
With the influence of the big towns plummeting, as long as they get the support of the people in these small and medium-sized towns, no other force in the entire Northland can stop the rule of the Star-Moon Army.
It took two years to bring the entire Northland under the management of Beibinghe Town.
The Xingyue Army has officially become a powerful military force that separates the two places.
Because of the small population, the Zhenxi Army did not have enough ability to annex the land of the West Frontier quickly. After much hesitation, they finally chose not to go out and annex the land of the West Frontier. Instead, they gave up all of this territory to Li Yueming.
I have to say that the Zhenxi King of this generation is also a very courageous hero.
If the Zhenxi Army and the Xingyue Army separate the two regions in the northwest, it may not be long before there will be various contradictions and conflicts between the two. At that time, the alliance between the Xingyue Army and Beibinghe Town may be shaken. .
Besides, the Zhenxi Army is different from Beibinghe Town, which has a huge population base and prosperous talents. It may only have a population of 300,000 people. It is really more than enough to annex such a large piece of land in the West.
If the Zhenxi Army insists on annexing the land of Xizhen regardless of its disregard, it is not impossible to annex it. After all, the people in the land of Xizhen still agree with the land of Xizhen very much.
But if this is really done, no one can guarantee that the Qin army will not take this opportunity to attack the city.
In the end, the Zhenxi army ended up with a heartless ending.
Now give up the entire West Frontier.
In addition to believing that Li Yueming's character will not let the Zhenxi Army suffer, the main reason is that there is a very reliable in-law relationship between the two parties. Perhaps the connection between the Zhenxi Army and the Xingyue Army will fade after a few generations .
But at least at the moment, the alliance between the two parties is unbreakable in terms of blood relationship and interests.
In fact, Li Yueming did not let the Zhenxi army suffer.
The land in the west border is more barren than the north land, because in addition to the colder climate in the north land, it is not suitable for the growth of crops, most of the land is relatively suitable for farming, but the land in the west border is different. Except for the land near the southwest of Dazhou, most of the land to the northwest is yellow sand, and there are no crops at all.
The Zhenxi Army is located at the Renhuang Pass at the farthest edge of the western frontier. The place is full of yellow sand, and there is no land suitable for farming. Only careful artificial protection can expand some land that can be cultivated.
The Zhenxi army has reclaimed land in Renhuangguan for generations, and after thousands of years of operation, it barely obtained a piece of land that could barely make ends meet. Of course, the population could not increase.
Therefore, Li Yueming took the initiative to send people to send the crop seeds improved by Qi Fan and others to the Zhenxi Army.
Many of them are drought-resistant crops with rough skin and thick flesh.
At the beginning, King Zhenxi didn't show much joy for this gift.
But with the planting of these special crops, King Zhenxi soon discovered the specialness of these seeds sent by Li Yueming.
Not only is the skin thick and thick, it is not easy to be affected by the outside world, but the output is about half higher than the grain output in Zhenxi Military City!
What is this concept?
The same acre of land, planting the crops sent by Beibinghe Town can support 1/2 more people than the crops cultivated by Zhenxi Army now! !
In other words, the population of the Zhenxi Army can increase by 50% on the previous basis.
With this 50% grain output, it is not impossible to double the strength of the Zhenxi Army.
…
Through the exchange of interests between the two parties, the connection between Beibinghe Town and Zhenxi Army has become closer.
And expanding the land is only part of the development direction of Beibinghe Town for so many years.
While the land continues to expand, Beibinghe Town is still looking for talents.
After all, the vast land needs more managers, and although Beibinghe Town now has a large number of talents, it still cannot meet the needs of development.
As for the target of the recruitment, there are no other countries around Beibinghe Town, so they can only poach Da Zhou's corner.
Benefited from the conflicts between the Great Zhou royal family and other minor nobles over the years.
As soon as Li Yueming's recruiting order was issued, many scholars in Dazhou were moved.
It's just that because of the hatred of the country and the family, many scholars are reluctant to go to Beibinghe Town to develop.
Li Yueming has nothing to do about it.
There are many people with bottom lines in the world, but there are also many people without bottom lines.
Especially after the Xingyue Army promised high-ranking officials and generous salaries, many scholars still chose to go to Beibinghe Town to seek development.
In just two years, the number of scholars in the Xingyue Army has doubled. This is the result of the Great Zhou Dynasty finding something wrong and stopping it. Otherwise, I am afraid that half of the scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty will be poached by Beibinghe Town.
With scholars who can read and write, and have learned the principles of saints, other towns that have been accepted by Beibinghe Town can be sent to govern.
Li Yueming asked Tian Liang and others to jointly formulate a set of laws that can be implemented in the entire Northwest on the basis of the laws of Beibinghe Town, and they were promulgated and prepared to be implemented.
In order not to be suspected, Li Yueming didn't do this on his own, but only added his own opinions after Tian Liang and others made a draft of the law.
As senior reincarnators, Tian Liang and others naturally have a way of making laws.
In fact, it took them less than half a month to complete this task that requires decades of special research by ordinary people.
It's not that they have extraordinary talents, but because how to formulate laws in the fantasy world has already become a compulsory course for reincarnators on the side of personal power.
Under Li Yueming's plan, Beibinghe Town released its first long-term plan.
In the past ten years, the Xingyue Army has focused most of its energy on expanding its territory, expanding the scale of food planting, and increasing the population of the Northwest and Northwest.
Under the circumstances of being united as one, this plan has achieved remarkable results.
After the completion of the first long-term plan, Beibinghe Town officially became a separatist military force that truly occupied the two regions of the Northwest, with a population approaching 10 million.
At the same time, all the fertile land in the lower reaches of the Arctic River and other towns were planted with the No. 3 wheat species carefully cultivated by the beast masters, as well as other crops that increased production.
Just a few years.
The grain production of the North Ice River Town Military Group has steadily increased.
The lives of the people under his command are getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The surrounding Qin and Zhou states suddenly discovered that ten years ago, they were still dying, and the Northwest and the Northwest, which were full of gunpowder and war, suddenly burst out with a huge and frightening vitality!
Everyone expressed extremely strong doubts about the rapid development of Beibinghe Town.
Aren’t the western and northern regions of the Great Zhou notoriously barren?
Why is the vitality that burst out under the governance of the Star-Moon Army stronger than those fertile lands?
Feeling bad, Qin and Zhou dispatched spies to collect information wave after wave.
But I still haven't caught the core point.
It's not because these spies are incompetent, but because the development of Beibinghe Town is too amazing, and it is simply not the effect that a certain core reform can achieve.
ignored the eyes of all countries.
In the year 7853 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first ten-year plan of Beibinghe Town came to an end.
Li Yueming began to formulate and implement the second long-term plan.
The main goal of the second long-term plan is to strengthen the army and the people.
Needless to say a strong army.
The geographical location of Beibinghe Town is very special.
Neither the Great Zhou nor the Great Qin could tolerate its development and growth.
Not to mention Da Zhou, the two lands in the Northwest itself were cut off from Da Zhou, and Da Zhou will definitely try to take it back whenever there is a chance.
And Daqin is still teammates with Li Yueming on the face of it.
But that was on the basis that Li Yueming would not threaten the Qin army.
Once the power of Beibinghe Town grows, Daqin will not get much benefit from Li Yueming, and the relationship between the two parties will naturally plummet. At that time, if Daqin wants to go south to invade Dazhou, he will not be able to take the road among the 100,000 mountains. Continue to attack Human Emperor Pass.
The two sides will fight each other if they do not do well.
Therefore, whether it is to unify the world and aspire to the Central Plains, or simply seek self-protection in this troubled world, it is inevitable to strengthen the strength of the Xingyue Army.
After the start of the second ten-year plan, the Xingyue Army began large-scale conscription.
The Xingyue Army, which had lost less than 300,000 soldiers, re-expanded to 500,000.
The training and education of the army Li Yueming also did not fall behind.
Headed by Ding Yi, several reincarnators who are good at war founded the Military Academy.
Teach the grassroots generals of the Xingyue Army how to lead troops in battle.
…
At the same time, Li Yueming's plan to strengthen the people is also proceeding simultaneously.
Because of the bumper harvest in recent years, the population of Beibinghe Town Group has exploded.
Nowadays, as long as every household has already married and established a business, most of them have two to three children.
Li Yueming began to implement the free education system under great pressure. In just a few years, nearly a hundred schools were established. These schools are roughly divided into three categories.
One is the Enlightenment Class, which is specially set up for young children and adults who have no written foundation. Because the content of the Enlightenment Class is simple, as long as the people of Beibinghe Town do not need to pay money, they can get the opportunity to enter the Enlightenment Class through hard work.
The other is the specialty class, which is created for people who already have a certain cultural heritage, and what they teach is how to improve their farming techniques.
The content of the specialty class is a bit more complicated, and ordinary people have to pay a little tuition if they want to study here.
Xingyue Army will provide subsidies and reductions for students with good academic performance.
As for the last type, it is the ruling class.
As the name suggests, the governance class means governing the world.
This school also does not charge money, but the learning content is the most complicated among the three types of schools.
To enter this school, you not only need to master the content of the enlightenment class, but also have a certain talent, so that you can be selected into it and become a candidate cadre of the Xingyue Army.
After founding these schools, Li Yueming issued a series of combo boxing successively.
After all, people's desire for knowledge is lower than food these days, so it is not easy to get them to give up production to learn 'useless' knowledge.
But Li Yueming also has a lot of experience in this.
Anyway, the prosperity of the world is all for profit; the world is full of hustle and bustle, all for profit.
Just let them see the real benefits, and the people will naturally find ways to climb to the top of the policies formulated by Li Yueming.
This combination of punches has not only greatly improved the enthusiasm of the people for labor, but also greatly improved the basic quality of the people in Beibinghe Town. As long as you stick to it, the Northland, a place with withered talents and a difficult environment in the past, will also Incubate talents who can change the world.
After all, Beibinghe Town will continue to develop in the future. It must be assisted by a group of talents who are completely bound to the Xingyue Army, so that it can continue to move forward. It is impossible to keep poaching the corners of other countries, right?
In the 7863 year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Yueming was fifty-five years old, and the second ten-year plan for Beibinghe Town was completely over.
Different from the smog everywhere twenty years ago, ten rooms were empty.
Li Yueming spent a lot of energy to completely change the appearance of the people in the Northwest and Northwest.
