Behind me is the earth

"Chichi~"

On the small red clay stove, the wine pot was "sizzling", and the bright golden wine was poured into the white porcelain wine glass, which seemed to shine brightly under the light.

"First, prepare the military."

"There are currently 20,000 black armors stored in the warehouse."

Ren Pingsheng said.

He purchased these in batches again and again. Now the armor manufacturer has been acquired by Ren Pingsheng after Sun Zhenhan negotiated. Obtaining armor will become easier in the future.

“Moreover, after this round of inspections, a large number of hidden households were registered, and more than 10,000 households, or nearly 50,000 people, were added to the county’s household register out of thin air!

Adding in the original registered population of more than 70,000 people and the people we captured who were held hostage by the rebels, the population reached more than 160,000. "

That's it, this round of inventory operations is not over yet.

"So, Shiqiang, a new round of army expansion plan can begin. The regular soldiers will be expanded to 30,000, and the militia will be expanded to 100,000."

Listening to what Ren Pingsheng said, Liu Qiang and Liu Shu both understood something.

Before the battle with Liu Heima, the army expansion plan by the middle of next year was still 10,000 regular soldiers and 50,000 militiamen. Now, the army expansion plan has been doubled!

With such an army expansion plan, especially the number of 100,000 militiamen, the Lord is obviously preparing for a big war and expanding the territory!

In just one county, neither population nor food nor resources are enough to support such a huge army system. This approach can be regarded as militarism.

However, as long as you can establish a territory, you can immediately eliminate these disadvantages and become profitable.

"Second, talent reserve."

Ren Pingsheng continued: "On the one hand, it is the military talents of the army and the strong men. I plan to establish a martial arts hall. All officers in the army who are serving at the company level or above will go to the martial arts hall for further training.

You, Bai Hu, Qin Sheng and others will act as lecturers to teach these officers to improve their military theoretical knowledge.

In addition, special political and educational classes should be set up in martial arts halls to cultivate specialized political and educational talents and do a good job in the ideological work of soldiers.

Shishu, you have to cooperate well with this and provide supporting services. After returning home, write a detailed plan and implement it as soon as possible! "

The role of political instructors has been seen by everyone for more than half a year. Their existence has greatly improved the soldiers' endogenous motivation, centripetal force and discipline, and improved the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"good."

Both men nodded in agreement.

Liu Qiang then suggested: "Lord, I think you should serve as the principal of this martial arts hall. This will be more conducive to the military's sense of honor!"

"Can."

Ren Pingsheng nodded.

This was also his original plan, and the Martial Arts Hall was just a temporary school, in order to improve the quality of current officers and improve the discipline and combat level of the army.

In the future, in Ren Shengsheng's plan, the Military Academy will be reorganized into a military university. By then, the theoretical training of officers will be systematic, and there will be a steady stream of grassroots officers and professional and technical arms output, and the army will be able to There won’t be a shortage of talent like now.

"On the other hand, it is the management talents of the yamen. Shishu, after you go back, select a group of available people from our existing official and talent pool and make a list.

At the same time, we should give full play to the role of the Civil Affairs Bureau in cultivating and recommending talents, and cultivate enough talents. This is directly related to the management efficiency of the territory we build in the future, as well as the speed with which we conquer the world. "

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.

The acquired territory needs people to protect and manage it. This requires a smooth management system and a group of officials who can organize local governance in an orderly manner, which requires advance reserves. If we get into a sedan chair and pierce our ears now, then local governance will be in bad shape, and we may have to rely on the gentry to govern the world. How can we completely complete the revolution?

"Okay, the Chief of Staff will definitely not let anything slip."

Liu Shu promised.

After finishing the meal, the wind and snow outside became even worse.

The sleet turned into heavy snow, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, making a "creep" sound under your feet.

The two of them walked out of the county government office holding umbrellas. After saying hello at the door, they parted ways.

Liu Qiang got on his horse, Liu Shu boarded the sedan, and each headed towards their mansion.

Ren Pingsheng went to the back house of the county government.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

Ren Pingsheng saw the light in the west wing, opened the door and walked in. Xiaowan was sitting at the table, playing with a small puppet made of water-based powers. She raised her head when she heard the sound. Her big eyes were like a frightened little beast. She was a little evasive and didn't dare to look directly. The young master’s eyes.

"Master."

Xiaowan muttered and stood up, but she looked a little unsure. Ren Pingsheng looked at her little eyes, like a timid little puppy that was afraid of being abandoned by its owner.

Ren Pingsheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Such eyes suddenly reminded him of the scene when he saw her from the side of the pipe among the dead. Her eyes were also like this, timid, eager and eager. Scared, like a dying beast.

He couldn't help but take a step forward, pulled Xiaowan into his arms, and held her tightly in his arms.

Xiaowan's timid eyes were startled for a moment, and then suddenly burst into light. The corners of her mouth couldn't help turning up, and a smile broke out on her face. Her whole person suddenly changed from dim to radiant. She hugged the young master tightly with her backhand, with such strength that Ren Ping felt his breath tightening!

"Master, please never abandon Xiaowan, okay?"

Xiaowan put her head on Ren Pingsheng's shoulder and whispered softly.

"Okay, the young master will never abandon you, I promise you."

Ren Pingsheng said in Xiaowan's ear.

"Well, thank you, Master!"

Xiaowan's heart was filled, and her whole body seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and she became lighter from head to toe.

With the young master's words, she seemed to have nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Nothing in the world, not even death, can scare her anymore!

Seeing her happy look, Ren Pingsheng felt much more at ease.

"What are you doing all this?"

Ren Pingsheng held her waist and sat on the chair. He looked at the crystal-clear dolls on the table. There was a thumb bear, a man who looked very similar to him, another one was Xiaowan, and the other one was just looking at Not sure, it vaguely looks like Ruan Tang, but it looks a little uglier than the real Ruan Tang.

The two chatted until late at night, with heavy snow blowing outside the window and making a "pitter patter" sound, but the room was as warm as spring because of the electric heater. They both enjoyed the beauty of this moment. Feeling, until twelve o'clock, Xiaowan wanted to climb into the young master's bed under the guise of warming the young master's bed, but was rejected by Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng returned to the main room by himself, feeling inexplicably guilty for being sorry for Ruan Tang.

However, Xiaowan was lying on the bed in the west wing, her mouth closed, and after a long time she gradually fell asleep with a beautiful smile.

"Hehe~"

In the darkness, she didn't know what sweet dreams she had, and she let out a few silly laughs from time to time.
