After sending Wang Lao and them away, Yun Ji didn't have time to rest, and devoted himself to affairs, although the administrative aspect still had to be rough and meticulous, but the general idea had already come up, and there was no need for Yun Ji to make specific arrangements below.

However, military reform is also imperative, and the huge army is already an important problem facing Yunji, because the army is not engaged in production activities for the time being, and it must be reformed in order to reduce the pressure on Yunji Town.

After a while, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhang Liao, Zangba, Jia Xu and others all came to the mayor's office to discuss the current army reform.

"Today, the purpose of everyone coming here is very clear, think about it, how many troops we have now, more than three million, reaching the point of 1:1, which is equivalent to a townsman to feed a soldier, this is a very dangerous phenomenon! If this goes on for a long time, not only will our finances be dragged along, but even our Yunji Town will be brought unpredictable consequences! Therefore, the purpose of our coming here today is to reform and change this unrealistic phenomenon of reckless use of military force. ”

"My lord, we have a lot of troops, but can we lay off them?" Gan Ning looked at Yunji and asked tentatively.

"That's a good question, layoffs are definitely not good, now it's going to be troubled, and there are not enough troops, how can you protect Yunji?"

"On the contrary, everyone is desperately trying to expand the army, and if we cut our troops, it may cause our cloud pole to be attacked by others, so the gain outweighs the loss?"

"We can send troops to suppress bandits, so that we can have a certain income! What other resources are available, especially the population? ”

"Jiang Qin's method is good, but do you calculate how many water thieves and bandits are waiting for you to exterminate, besides, are there still bandits and bandits around our Yunji Town? I guess we're the biggest bandits and bandits! Hehe! ”

"Let's think of a way, what is the way to make the army self-sufficient, based on the premise of ensuring that the army fights." Yun Ji glanced at everyone, "Can you use your brains?" I believe there are more ways than difficulties, huh? ”

"We can go to other places to suppress bandits, whether they are water thieves or mountain bandits, and exterminate them together, so that we can not only train the army, but also have extra money."

"It's fine, but it's not cost-effective for us! The army is dispatched, and the consumption of food, grass, weapons and other materials is not a small amount, besides, if we go to suppress bandits, others will opinion, so it's not beautiful! ”

"However, we can crack down on bandits around our own town, and others will have nothing to say. Hehe. "Yun Ji had a good idea in his heart, that is, to build a small town in several nearby counties, so that he would not be afraid of other people's gossip.

"This is indeed a good way, so let's do it, after the fact, each county around the county will send an intermediate military general and two junior generals, 100 ordinary soldiers, and a civil official as the village head, and then bring enough drawings to build a village there, remember to stay away from the county seat, and try to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to build a village." Yun Ji smiled gloomily in his heart.

"If you have any other good suggestions, let's talk about them together!"

"Lord, isn't our village going to be commercially developed?" Huang Xu interjected, "We can send troops to protect the safety of these merchants, but they have to pay!" ”

"This method is okay, so let's do it, after the fact, set up a guardian army dedicated to protecting the nature of merchants, find a third-rate military general and a few special generals, the number can be more, 2,000 ordinary soldiers!"

"However, if this continues, we will not be able to arrange 10,000 people! Not even a fraction is enough! Seeing that everyone didn't think of a good way, he had to sigh in his heart, "Wenhe, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Lord, you already have a manuscript, so I won't be ugly." Jia Xu looked at Yunji with a smile.

"Wenhe, hehe!" Yun Ji smiled, "Everyone doesn't have any good way, so Yun Ji is arranged like this!" ”

"First, all the armies were incorporated into the Reclamation Corps, and except for the necessary troops, who remained on guard and duty, the other armies were added to the valley to reclaim the wasteland, so as to ensure that the army could have enough food and materials to be self-sufficient. I'm sure all of you have questions, but that's okay. ”

"Think about it, now our food is bought from outside, and we spend money every day like water, no matter how much we do, we can't afford to spend like this?"

"Secondly, it is said that the blacksmiths and carpenters and tailors who make materials for the army to fight wars are done, but have you calculated it, these weapons and equipment, don't buy them from the outside, our Yunji Town doesn't have enough production for itself, and we have to give priority to the army, so we must reduce the burden on the townspeople.

Third, now we have no major wars, at least in a year, there will be no major wars, our army is trained there, but it has almost reached its peak temporarily, in addition to daily training, the soldiers also have to train their spirit of unity and cooperation, reclaiming wasteland, planting grain is not a good way?

Fourth, the army is all strong laborers, and its strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, and one can catch up with the speed of six or seven or even a dozen ordinary people in reclamation, so ......"

"In general, it is to temporarily let the army be self-sufficient, and when the economic conditions are good, we will begin to implement a professional professional army, so that being a soldier will also become a profession, rather than being a soldier for the sake of eating, and when the financial situation is relaxed, we will start to plant without the army."

"Of course, it's not that you don't need military training, and now three hours of training every morning should be enough. As for the specific arrangements, you can discuss it yourself, and then look at Wang Lao's plan, and go if you can. Remember, the level is the focus, and each one cannot be less than 15W people on duty, and you can take turns to come here. ”

"Also, you have a lot of troops and soldiers, but there are many of them with unclear purposes and impure thoughts, they are soldiers for food, they don't have a sense of collective honor, and they may not even have a strong sense of belonging to Yunji Town, especially those who surrendered, therefore, we must carry out ideological education for the army to ensure the purity of their thoughts, so that they know what they are fighting for, who they are fighting for, and they can't even know the purpose of fighting for whom, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"You calculate, if there is a war, until now, where will our army mainly come from, not most of it will come from the outside, surrendered, captured from the grassland, rescued, etc., and so on, and even I suspect that you yourself don't know what to fight for!"

"Don't say that you are fighting for me, the lord, you recognize me as the lord and fight for me, but this is not the purpose of your ultimate fight, so I will formulate a military ideological education program in the next two months, and you will also come to listen to it during class, and in the future, when this batch of training personnel is over, everyone will be assigned to the army for ideological education, and you as the chief officer must be responsible for your example, of course, they will not interfere in the affairs of your army, but just set aside a certain amount of time for unified study, hehe."
