"Zilong, after the three of you have finished rectifying the county soldiers in various places, you will start to strengthen the training, and I will send Lu Kuang, Su Huan, and Gao Xiang to assist you. After three months, all the county soldiers who did not meet the standards were dismissed! ”

Zhao Yun took a step forward and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask the lord, what is the specific standard?"

"Ordinary county soldiers are at least the fourth rank!"

"Fourth Order"

Several people in the hall couldn't help but exclaim.

"Lord, isn't this fourth-order requirement a little too high......

Liu Yi was a little puzzled, Shang Ji had never discussed with him about the requirements for promoting the county soldiers before.

"Minimum Fourth Order! From now on, this is the minimum standard of strength of my regular army! Whether it is Liaodong or Xinfuzhou County, the soldiers below the fourth rank immediately retire from active service and turn into unofficial village warriors! ”

After fighting abroad for half a year, Shang Ji felt more and more that there were not many soldiers!

In reality, there is still the possibility that an army with combat effectiveness scum such as a rogue can rely on crowd tactics to defeat the elite army, but in the beacon fire, the average rank of the non-commissioned officers is more than two orders apart, and the level of generals of the two armies is equal, even if the weaker side has a tenfold advantage in strength, it is in vain!

Of course, the premise of this discussion is a field encounter, and special circumstances such as defending the city and ambushing are counted separately!

Just like Shang Ji did when he conquered the Yellow Turban Army before, the Yellow Turban Army, which led a thousand black-armored Xuan cavalry to charge straight into 10,000 people, could also destroy the other party with negligible casualties in a short time.

Didn't you see that Zhang Jiao, who started with crowd tactics, began to streamline his army and change his line to the elite army

Of course, Shang Ji's fourth-order request was not put forward by patting his head.

Now Shang Ji has more than a dozen special barracks renovation drawings, and Shang Ji plans to restore all the barracks in the four giant cities in Pingzhou, and then renovate them.

Special barracks were built according to the standards of four in Xiangping, two in Leyang, two in Goguryeo, and one in Changli.

The barracks under the giant city should not be used in non-emergency times as much as possible, and the soldiers should try to choose high-level soldiers from the special barracks.

The giant barracks already have a chance to directly train fourth-order soldiers, plus many bonuses such as titles, characteristics, special buildings, and special barracks, there is a high probability that fourth-order soldiers will be directly trained!

Even if some of the last ones are still unqualified, and then concentrate on assault training, at least ensure that more than eighty percent of the soldiers will appear in the fourth order!

In this case, Shang Ji could no longer tolerate the fact that there were still millions of third-order soldiers under his command!

If it weren't for the fact that it was not for the sake of waste and turmoil, Shang Ji would even want to disband all the currently unqualified county soldiers and replace them with soldiers from high-level special barracks.

"My lord, since this is the case, does the standard of the main force also need to be improved, and does the standard of generals at all levels need to be adjusted again?"

Liu Yi, as a soldier, immediately asked this question.

"Of course, the standard of the main combat force has been raised to the lowest fifth rank! The specific ratio of soldiers to guards is also asked to make specific suggestions after the inspection! As for the generals' requirements" Shang Ji said that he was silent for a moment, glanced at the generals with nervous eyes, and continued: "In the guard army, the chief of the guard, the chief of the tun, the chief of the uncle, the military marquis, the Sima, and the Sima of other departments are the junior, intermediate, senior, third-rate, second-rate, and first-class generals respectively!" The county lieutenants of the twenty-two big cities must be the pinnacle of first-class at the very least. ”

"As for the battle army, all the Sima below the other department have been promoted by one level, and the Sima of the other department is the most demanding first-class peak. The captain must be a super-first-class general, and the strength of the title captain (those who were previously awarded) is exempt from the assessment at the level of the top general, and the strength is not up to the standard, and must be better than one of the four generals of the tiger, leopard, wolf and eagle in order to perform their duties normally. ”

"The mediocre and the capable, this assessment must be dealt with impartially, and no one is allowed to violate the law!"

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

The four tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles are the martial arts imprints of Shang Ji, although they do not have a title bonus, but with the light of Shang Ji, their strength is not weak, at least much stronger than ordinary super-first-class generals. However, Su Huan and the others followed Shang Ji to fight in the south and the north, and they were no longer the weak chickens they were at the beginning.

Now they can be ranked among the historical generals, the top 100 dare not say, the top 300 is still no problem. Among them, the stronger Yang Cheng, Su Huan, Guo Biao and others have at least eighty percent chance of winning against tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles, and the others are also between five and five! This assessment requirement is not too strict.

Naturally, the small changes in everyone did not escape Shang Ji's eyes, only to see him sneer and say: "Let me tell you a good news, I will fight for days and days, and I have a new understanding of martial arts, and I am about to break through soon!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and after a while, I saw Su Huan, Lu Kuang and others say with bitter faces: "The last general congratulates the lord!" ”

The strength of the Martial God Brand is closely related to Shang Ji, once Shang Ji breaks through, the strength of the four tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles will definitely soar, and the difficulty of the assessment will soar!

However, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other top historical generals who did not need to participate in the assessment glanced at Shang Ji in surprise, if I remember correctly, Shang Ji seems to have just advanced to the top of the super-first-class peak not long ago, how could he be promoted so quickly

Being watched by several top generals, Shang Ji's face did not change, and no one could see that he was talking nonsense!

Yes, Shang Ji lied, he has only been promoted to the top of the super-first-class peak for a month, how can he be promoted to the top historical military general so quickly This is the most difficult hurdle for a general, not to mention that it has been stuck for a year and a half, and it is not uncommon for a card to be used for a lifetime!

In fact, according to the experience of top historical generals such as Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, Shang Ji would have to burn high incense if he could be promoted to a top military general within a year.

However, this does not affect Shang Ji to put pressure on his generals and increase the sense of urgency!

"The last general understands that I will publish the latest assessment requirements to the whole army, and all unqualified non-commissioned officers will be eliminated in three months! Generals are demoted and discarded! ”

Liu Yi nodded and took over this big trouble for Shang Ji.

"Okay, that's all for the military affairs in general, and the details will be introduced at the future military conference, and let's talk about the development of Pingzhou next!"

"Hongzhu, you come to introduce you to the overview of Pingzhou!"

Deng Yan took a breath, stood up and said, "Colleagues, according to our statistics in recent days, the situation in Pingzhou is very not optimistic!" ”

"So far, there are more than 64.3 million people in Pingzhou. The population is less than half of that of the ordinary prosperous counties in the mainland, and Pingzhou can only produce 680 million stone of grain every year, with a gap of 200 million stone!

According to the lord, more than 16 million people will move to Pingzhou in the next few months, and it is expected that our food shortage will expand to more than 500 million stones! We need to prepare for this! Fortunately, we have a large amount of uncultivated land that can be cultivated by immigrants, and we can hopefully solve the food crisis within three years, provided that there is no major war and that there is a steady flow of money. But the first two years will have to be supported by huge amounts of food. ”

"The annual fiscal revenue of Pingzhou is 67 million gold, but the expenditure is as high as 90 million gold, and the fiscal deficit is more than 20 million! In the future, there will be huge investments in the planned relocation of the population, the rectification of the military and the government, and the development of production, and the specific fiscal deficit will not be calculated! ”

"According to statistics, Pingzhou has 2,100 middle and low-level private schools, 260 high-level private schools, 120 junior colleges, 21 intermediate colleges, and the number of senior and above is zero, and there is an extraordinary lack of culture and education!"

"In terms of medical care, there are 4,000 medical centers at all levels, and the number of medical centers per 10,000 people is less than one-fifth of that in the mainland, and most of them are concentrated in cities!"

…………………………

Deng Yan spoke for half an hour, involving all aspects of Pingzhou, but basically it was seriously behind the average, and the faces of everyone became more and more ugly.

"Of course, we are not useless, dragging the blessing of the Wuhuan people, we are far ahead of the mainland in terms of animal husbandry, and a large amount of beef and mutton has filled part of the food gap in disguise, but this cannot solve our food crisis."

"However, on the whole, in addition to being far ahead in animal husbandry and a slight advantage in the smelting industry, Pingzhou is lagging behind the mainland in terms of medical care, culture, education, economy, and agricultural planting!"
