After the Battle of Changping, Ouyang Shuo was always in the middle of the storm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the news spread that the soldier saint Sun Wu had established the Army Lecture Hall in Shanhai City, there were already disciples of the soldiers who rushed to Shanhai City through the offices of Shanhai City in various royal cities.

The disciples who came were basically unknown people, and they were also the cornerstone of the military family, which well filled the army martial arts instructor team.

Other representatives of the military family have not yet appeared.

On the forum, there was a lord who claimed that Wei Yu, one of the representatives of the military family, had come to his territory, but unfortunately he didn't keep it in the end, I don't know if it's true or not.

With the spread of the news, Dali and Quanzhou, the two royal cities closely related to Shanhai City, especially Quanzhou, once again appeared a small peak of talent influx.

A large number of unambitious generals chose to leave the royal city and come to Shanhai City to seek a way out.

Although these generals are basically junior generals, they are all professional backgrounds and have rich military experience, which is really a rare wealth.

They are the real cornerstone of the army.

Bai Qi placed them one by one in the Three Masters Regiment and the City Guard Division Regiment to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. The sequelae caused by the expansion of the armed forces have been basically eliminated.

The heritage and talent reserve of the army of Shanhai City can be matched by no one except for the Red Blood County of the Wolf Warrior.

Because of the reorganization of the defenders of the eastern and western territories, the formation of the city guard division was completed half a year ahead of schedule.

Although the city guard division belongs to the sequence of urban defense troops, because it is shouldering the task of guarding the base camp, in fact, in all aspects of the configuration and requirements, they are carried out in accordance with the standards of the field army.

The only thing that Ouyang Shuo regretted was that the City Guard Division still lacked a division commander who could take the lead.

Under expediency, Ouyang Shuo could only let Bai Qi concurrently lead the post of commander of the City Guard Division; Zhao Sihu, who was valued by Ouyang Shuo, was appointed as the deputy division commander and was responsible for the daily work of the City Guard Division.

According to the latest planning of Shanhai City, the waterways in the city are staggered, and in addition to the normal configuration, the city guard division also set up an independent water division battalion to be responsible for the inspection of the river.

With the acceleration of the pace of army reorganization, the three-level army system of territorial field army, urban defense force, and reserve force has basically been formed.

In addition to directly selecting prisoners from the captives, another important channel for the future field army is to turn the urban defense units in various localities into field armies, and then from the reserve forces to the urban defense forces, and so on, graded and progressive.

The construction of a sound three-level army system can effectively avoid a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the army due to the influx of a large number of new soldiers after the expansion of the territory.

In terms of sailors, after occupying Yue'er Island, Ouyang Shuo instructed Pei Donglai to strengthen the recruitment of sailors and sailor reserves, so as to prepare in advance for the expansion of the sailor division in the coming year.

Especially for sailors, there is no option for sailors to change jobs in the barracks, and they can only be trained step by step.

The Yueerdao Naval Division Base, with the assistance of Beihai City, was successfully completed. In addition to stationing a battalion of sailors, the base also moved in 5,000 ordinary people from Beihai City.

These people are basically the families of the sailors and soldiers, and they are extremely reliable.

The most important task of the sailor battalion stationed in Yueerdao is to draw a nautical map of the surrounding sea area, so as to do a good job of surveying and mapping for the future sailors to advance into the deep sea.

In addition, detecting the surrounding pirates is also one of the important tasks of the sailor battalion. The Black Shark pirates of Yue'er Island are just a small child in the North Bay, and the larger pirate organization has not yet appeared.

From the description in the "North Bay Treasure Map" seized from Yue'er Island, it can be inferred that when the North Bay pirate organization was strong, it was hundreds of thousands, which should not be underestimated.

The water master is an unfamiliar field for Bai Qi, and he can only rely on Pei Donglai alone for the time being.

All in all, the Shanhai City army is growing rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

************

During the period of the reorganization of the army, the territorial government system was not idle, and it was equally fruitful.

The sweeping operations on the east and west sides brought more than 30,000 people to Shanhai City, but compared with the huge population base of Shanhai City, it was less than one-tenth, and it was really a long way to go.

With the assumption of the two prefects, Wei Ran and Cui Shousi, the structure of the two prefectures has been basically completed and has begun to be officially put into operation, marking the advent of the era of "Lianzhou County".

The division of the Lianzhou Hou Mansion and the Shanhai Mansion has also been completed, and hundreds of grassroots officials have been transferred from the Lianzhou Hou Mansion to the Shanhai Mansion to enrich the structure of the Shanhai Mansion.

At the same time, more than 200 students who graduated from the Southwest University Hall were assigned to various prefectures and counties to accumulate experience in government affairs after being assessed by the Administration Bureau.

Some of the best of them were selected by the various departments of the Lianzhou Hou Government and went directly to the center.

Taking this opportunity, the secretariat office led by Secretary Lang Bai Nanpu also ushered in an expansion. In addition to assisting Ouyang Shuo, the marquis, in handling official letters, the three directors are also equipped with a full-time clerk.

After half a year of rotation training, the basic government personnel of the territory have basically been trained in the Southwest University Hall, and the training cycle ranges from one month to three months.

Starting next year, the enrollment targets of Southwest University Hall will be for outstanding students recommended by private schools or schools in various prefectures and counties, as well as from the society.

Incumbent officials in the government affairs system will no longer be included in the enrollment scope of Southwest University Hall.

The school system of Southwest University Hall will also be officially established as one year and six months. The one-year course is for students recommended by private schools or schools; Half-year study system, aimed at social enrollment.

No matter what kind of school system, only after the completion of the study period and passing the rigorous assessment of the college can you successfully graduate from Southwest University.

So far, the operation of Southwest University Hall has completely moved on the right track.

Because it happened to encounter a major adjustment of the territorial structure, officials were frequently transferred. In the annual assessment of the government affairs system, Fan Zhongyan, director of administration, adopted a cold treatment approach.

Except for some officials who had misbehaved badly and were dismissed from public office, the rest were handed over to local government offices.

Towards the end of the month, Tianhai Road was completed ahead of schedule.

The completion of Tianhai Road has completely opened up the communication channel between Tianfeng City and Shanhai City, marking the real integration of the western region into the Shanhai Territorial System.

The Liukou in the west have been basically wiped out under the repeated encirclement and suppression of the camp in the west of the city, providing a safe and reliable guarantee for the development of the region.

Taking this opportunity, Ouyang Shuo officially launched the strategy of developing the western region on a large scale.

The Lianzhou Hou Mansion is responsible for the overall planning, and the Shanhai Mansion and Tianfeng Mansion are responsible for the specific implementation, and it is planned to build hundreds of agricultural settlements along the Tianhai Road.

Most of the new displaced people have been resettled in these settlements.

The task of the settlement is also clear, that is, to reclaim farmland and grow mulberry hemp.

The vast land in the west must not be abandoned, except for the preservation of hills, woods and other special areas, and all the rest must be reclaimed.

Depending on the land conditions, crops such as rice, potatoes, and corn are planted, orchards, tea plantations, and mulberry trees and cotton are planted......

In short, it is necessary to vigorously develop agriculture.

Although since the establishment of the territory, Ouyang Shuo has been emphasizing the stimulation of the development of handicrafts and industry and commerce, so as to activate the economy of the territory; But Ouyang Shuo was not hot-headed, he always clearly realized that in ancient society, agriculture was the foundation of the country, and it always ranked first in all walks of life.

Lianzhou County's unique geographical location and natural environment determine that it is a perfect rear.

According to Ouyang Shuo's plan, in the future, Lianzhou County, in addition to serving as the base camp of the territory, will also become the agricultural and animal husbandry base of the territory, providing a steady stream of grain and other agricultural and sideline products for the territory, supporting the territory's foreign military expansion, and providing the most powerful logistics support.

With a wave of Ouyang Shuo's hand, the Finance Bureau, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Household Registration were busy.

Fortunately, with the help of agricultural experts, everything is still busy.

It is not a simple matter to really implement the strategy of large-scale development of the western region.

First of all, there is a huge amount of financial allocation. Whether it is the purchase of agricultural tools, seeds, cattle and other materials, or the construction of water conservancy facilities, each of them is a large amount of money invested.

In addition to financial support, there is also the innovation of agricultural technology, including a series of measures such as ploughs, water wheels, and seedlings, so as to ensure the increase in the output of agricultural products.

Of course, the most important thing is agricultural planning, which areas are suitable for growing rice, which areas are suitable for planting cotton, and which areas are suitable for planting mulberry trees.

The current territorial affairs are no longer something that Ouyang Shuo can handle alone, no matter how great his ability is, he can't complete the above work, so he can only rely on the strength of officials, experts and scholars.

At most, he plays a central and coordinating role.

The era when Ouyang Shuo pointed out the country and personally arranged the territorial planning is long gone.

************

The implementation of the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region will bring about the upgrading of a number of industries. Taking this opportunity, the planting area of the mulberry orchard in the territory will show explosive growth.

Ouyang Shuo took advantage of the trend and delegated the breeding of colored silkworms, which was supervised by the Industry Department of the Finance Bureau, to the local governments and counties. The specific coordination work is entrusted to the Textile Association.

Not only that, whether it is a chamber of commerce or a self-employed person, you can carry out colored silkworm breeding.

Hearing that the Hou Mansion was going to open the threshold of silkworm breeding, the responsible persons of the major chambers of commerce were ecstatic, and immediately stated that they would invest huge sums of money to lease land in the western region to plant mulberry and raise silkworms.

As successful merchants, they are all too aware of the profits of colored silk.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

In order for the Chamber of Commerce to acquire the technology of silkworm breeding, it must pay a large amount of technology transfer fees to the Finance Department. At the same time, they must also commit to not allowing the technology to be leaked to third parties.

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides finally determined the technology transfer fee at 5,000 gold coins.

In this way, the technology transfer fees paid by various chambers of commerce alone will be enough to support the capital investment in the early stage of the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region, killing two birds with one stone. (To be continued.) )
