I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Ming Yu bit his head and said: "I will find a way to make money. It is impossible to get it all at once. I have to eat one bite at a time. As for the army guarding the stockade, I have also considered it, as you said, so I don't. I plan to let the garrison come, after all, it is very difficult for the garrison to deal with the barbarian army outside the customs, so I will find a way to arrange it separately."

"Other arrangements? If the garrison is not allowed to guard, how can the people resist the enemy? If the enemy has a plan to attack the city, the stockade will always be inferior to the city..." Xu Wen said in a hurry, but after thinking about it, the topic changed, "His Royal Highness Do you have any good ideas?"

"It's better to rely on yourself." Ming Yu saw Xu Wen's eagerness to get angry, and it was a little funny. He had a vague idea, and now he didn't give a shit anymore, and said slowly: "I plan to let the people get angry. Strong young men come to the military base for training every year, and when they return to the stockade after two or three months, they can take up the responsibility of guarding their own homes and their families."

Chapter 16

"What!" Xu Wen was really surprised now. He had never heard that people could become an army after only two or three months of training. Is His Royal Highness Duan Wang joking? At this juncture, this is not the time to joke.

In order to prove that he was not joking, Ming Yu continued according to his own train of thought, "I'll call this kind of person a reserve soldier. They go to the field when they are busy and train in their spare time. The stockade is their home, and the common people are their family. So there is no worry of not doing all you can to protect them. The people also trust them, and with them around, they can effectively organize the people to resist the bandits.”

That's right, it sounds like a good solution, but the most important point is that a commoner who only knows how to farm can really resist thieves and bandits in just two or three months. 's ability? It's simply a fantasy.

Xu Wen had already asked the question before he knew it, and before he could react, Ming Yu's answer was already in his ears, "Yes, you can use your spare time to train twice a year, two or three months each time, without delaying the farming time. , and there will be such training every year in the future. After they go back, they can train in the stockade by themselves according to the training method they learned every day.”

Xu Wen still didn't believe it, so wouldn't everyone be a soldier? At that time, we Dayan will not be afraid of the small country of Suixi.

"It's just that, according to the laws of the imperial court, military households can only enter the military." Xu Wen still had a lot of concerns.

Ming Yu smiled slightly, "They are not military households, so naturally they are not soldiers, they are just people who can protect their families and the country."

Xu Wen was a little stunned, and it was hard to turn his head all of a sudden, but Ming Yu didn't explain more. Many things can only be accepted after seeing them with his own eyes, otherwise a person's inherent concept is difficult to change. When his five hundred British troops are born, I am afraid that many people's eyes will be shocked.

Speaking of which, after such a long time, the training ground that Mo Jiang handled should be built, right? Although Commander Mo would come to him every two or three days to report the progress and solve the problems here and there, but for so long, he had been busy and didn't have time to go over to the scene to take a look. Well, when are you free to go over there and take a look.

"In terms of the current conditions, the manpower and material resources for building stockades are indeed somewhat lacking, and it is impossible for all villages in Liangzhou to build stockades, so I plan to build tunnels and build villages together. That's what I meant before. , do a few experimental points first to see how the effect is, and then we will decide what to do next, so that even if my idea is wrong and it is not suitable for these two methods, I can stop the loss in time." Ming Yu took it slow. of expressing his thoughts.

Although these methods are based on his summarizing the experience of later generations, in the end, whether such methods are suitable for the land of Liangzhou, Ming Yu has no idea in his heart, so he can only adopt a compromise method.

In addition, the cost of money is really stretched. There is still no news about the letter he sent to the capital. Even if his caravan can set off immediately, it is not now to see a profit, so he can only take it slowly.

Xu Wen understands Ming Yu's concerns, he has already considered all the problems, this is the best, and it will not be too labor-intensive and costly.

"Little minister agrees!" Xu Wen salutes.

"Then how about this matter for Master Xu?" Ming Yu said with a smile, alas! Who let him have too few people to use? The capable ones work hard. Xu Wen is also a talented person, and he is an authentic Liangzhou native. If he persuades the people to implement the plan, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Don't worry, don't you worry about yourself?

Regardless of whether Xu Wentong agreed or not, he went on to say: "This matter is of great importance and closely related to the people. We must do our job well, we must not force it, and we must explain the pros and cons of doing this to the people, and let the people know. They are completely voluntary, without any resistance, this is the first step, do you understand?"

Xu Wen was so excited that he didn't expect that the prince would give him such an important task. If this matter is done, it will definitely change the future of Liangzhou, and maybe it will be recorded in the history books. He is only a small seventh-rank official, and there are countless officials in Liangzhou who are bigger than him. How can he get the trust of the prince, and the kindness he has encountered, it is still difficult to repay him with a grass title ring.
