I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 184 Reform

He finally understood the meaning of what Xie Zan said in class: "If you are poor, don't join the crowd, and if you speak softly, don't persuade others."

 People who speak softly should talk less!

 Because no matter what you say, his words are not important and no one will listen to him.

 Let alone answer his doubts.

The people in front of me are either in the eighth or ninth grade. Even Cui Gengren, who is about the same age as himself, has entered the seventh grade!

　　I am the most useless, always dangling on the third level and standing still.

 I don’t want to not know, and I feel the pressure just thinking about it.

I have been looking gloomy all day, and I can’t even laugh even if I want to.

Cui Gengren and Yu Xiao went to see him for a drink, but he was not in much of a mood.

 He even felt that he was not worthy to sit with them.

 I am a third grader, why should I drink with them?

  Shut it up in the ear room and practice the exercises behind closed doors!

 Otherwise, I won’t have the courage to meet anyone!

Late at night.

Lin Yi is still awake. He is not writing a novel, but writing a plan for grassroots reform.

Since he has decided to compete with King Yong and Jizhao'an, he has to take it seriously. It's time to show his true strength!

 What's more, he was worried about the reaction of the court and his father, so he did nothing.

Now that I don’t know whether I am alive or dead, who do I have to be afraid of?

 Just do it if you don’t accept life and death.

 When the time comes, let these **** kneel in front of you and sing conquest.

His first choice was to abolish the Baojia system and replace all Baojia villages with village names.

 In the past, central ruling power has never been able to penetrate into ordinary villages. Imperial laws and regulations were basically a piece of paper in the countryside. No matter what happened, it was the local clans and squires, such as Liang Gen and Wang Cheng, who had the final say.

 They are usually the gods within a radius of twenty miles!

They can kill or behead anyone they dislike.

What Lin Yi wants to do now is to take away the rights of these squires, put them in a cage, and only give them the obligation to make money and contribute to the economic development of Sanhe.

 Extend your tentacles to every piece of land in Sanhe, and always control the most basic situation of the grassroots people.

 Historical experience proves that anyone who is divorced from the masses of the people will have no good results in the end.

 The second is the reform of the military system of the guard station.

It is true that Shen Chu and He Jixiang are commanding the guard in front of them, but they are not recognized by the court. If their names are not correct, their words will not go smoothly. They feel guilty when people call them "sir".

 After all, the so-called "righteousness" has been lost.

  Simply start from scratch and set them up according to corps, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, platoon and squad.

He wrote down in detail how many men there were in an army and how many men there were in a squad.

 The last item is that while Sanhe is resettling the refugees, it must conduct an in-depth and detailed "census" again.

 The first is to find out the family background, and the second is that the number of people coming and going is too complicated. Many people are major hidden dangers to social security.

Anyone who dares to break the law in Sanhe will be strictly investigated.

 Stability is the foundation of development, he firmly believes in this.

His ultimate dream is that in Sanhe, the dragon can be coiled and the tiger can lie down, even if he is a great master!

“Your Majesty, it’s getting late, so you’d better rest early.”

Mingyue came over, poured out the tea leaves in his cup, and replaced it with boiled water.

 “Don’t be in a hurry, it’s a long night and you have no intention of sleeping,”

Lin Yi yawned as he spoke, "Go to bed and leave me alone."

 After speaking, he continued to sit at his desk and used charcoal to add some content that suddenly came to his mind.

 Write until the rooster crows before going to bed.

 When I woke up, the sun was high.

　After having a good meal, as if he still didn't have enough sleep, he lay down on the chair and fell asleep again.

When Shan Qi came over, he didn't bother him. He just sat opposite Lin Yi, holding a tea cup and taking a sip from time to time.

Suddenly seeing Lin Yi open his eyes, he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty!"

 “What a coincidence,”

Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and said, "Sit down, why are you so polite?"

As he spoke, Mingyue waved behind him, and Mingyue entered the room and took out the manuscript he had written.

Lin Yi didn’t answer and just said, “Give it directly to Master Shan.”

 “Thank you, Miss Mingyue.”

Shanqi took it with both hands and flipped through the pages.

Lin Yi drank some tea and said, "If you don't understand anything, just say it."

Shanqi smiled and said, "The prince wrote down the number of people, and it is clear at a glance that the army commander is equivalent to the commander, and the division commander is equivalent to a thousand households. There is nothing confusing, but the name has been changed."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "That's good. Let's do it this way. Let Shen Chu be the commander of the army and He Jixiang be the deputy commander.

 As for the division commander, deputy division commander, etc., you choose them yourself. "

"yes,"

Shanqi continued, "The prince said to go to Baojia, and the subordinate also agreed. It's just that I'm afraid it won't be easy to choose the mayor of the village or town at the moment."

“Then choose slowly. Virtue comes first, followed by ability. Try to choose from young people.”

Lin Yi said with a smile, "The people of Li will let their own leader take charge, and there is no need to create extraneous matters."

The tribesmen are unruly and will not obey anyone except the leader. If a village chief is sent here today, he may die violently tomorrow.

　What kind of regulations are there not regulations?

 If the leader is unhappy, just take the large army back to the border base.

 “Your Majesty is indeed thoughtful,”

Shan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the prince would impulsively seize the rights of these leaders. There were nearly 50,000 people, and as time went by, there might be more and more.

 If you **** them off, the consequences will be disastrous. "This is what a low-ranking official would do naturally."

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "The training of officers and soldiers must be intensified. We must not slack off for a day. If there is not enough money, there is nothing I can do. You can think of a way on your own and take it one step at a time."

"yes,"

Shan Qi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to resign."

 The following days.

　　While selecting village officials, Sanhe launched a vigorous census campaign.

After dividing their areas of responsibility, thousands of police officers went to the mountains and countryside to register door-to-door. The furthest ones have reached as far as Fangniao Island in the east, Jinji Mountain in the south, and the Nanzhou border in the north.

 Mainly walk along the repaired roads.

Lin Yi didn't have much hope for them. The population of Sanhe was mainly concentrated in Baiyun City, but the people living in the surrounding areas were too scattered. It would be good to understand the demographics of Baiyun City.

 Census, if you can get a rough estimate, it will be enough if the difference is correct.

 The Chief Secretary is getting poorer.

Shan Qi is intensifying training according to Lin Yi's advice, but at the same time, he is also constantly eliminating people to save money.

 Ten kilometers of cross-country carrying loads every day. Anyone who cannot persist will be eliminated.

 Those who have been eliminated the most are those tribesmen who have practiced Yuan Gong for the shortest time.

After they were eliminated, not only did they not complain, but they were overjoyed.

However, Shanqi did not let them go, and still put the eliminated ones into the militia. They only had to take care of the food during the occasional training without paying monthly money.
