The military camp model was established by Zhu Yuanzhang in order not to increase the burden of military expenditure to the people.

But it is no longer practical now.

High wages and sufficient welfare guarantees can make a soldier less worried and can still have better living conditions even without land.

You should know that a large part of those military farms were occupied by the commanders and local gentry in the military camp, and it does not mean that soldiers can fully gain the benefits.

Part of these found fields are used as farmland and part of them are used as official fields. In this way, the grain produced by this part of the land can also be used as a means to regulate market grain prices.

Last year, Xiao Sheng brought a lot of high-yield grain seeds, and under the leadership of Xu Guangqi and others, he popularized advanced farming technology and produced a large number of farming tools.

Although there are still constant natural disasters, relying on water conservancy facilities and high-yield crops, a large amount of grain was harvested in the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen.

These foods are guaranteed.

After making soldiers out of stock and become pure soldiers, it is to make bureaucrats out of stock and become pure officials.

When the military reform is completed, it is time to take action against the bureaucrats.

They still occupy a large amount of land, and sooner or later they will be taken over to the country.

It is only the second year of Chongzhen, and Zhu Youjian is not in a hurry to attack these scholars and officials. They are deeply rooted and cannot act rashly.

After the Rulin Yashi Pavilion is established, you can slowly control these people. When the time is ripe, everything will be a natural thing.

However, for the army, it is necessary to cut the mess quickly. From the second year of Chongzhen to the end of the third year of Chongzhen, in two years, the redeployment of soldiers across the country must be completely completed in order to obtain a stable external environment.

As long as you have absolute military power, it will be an easy task to reform internally.

The issue of raising wages to officials and soldiers was published in the newspaper the next day, and then it spread quickly throughout the country, and the officials at the bottom were naturally very happy.

The little official was even more happy because there was another message released.

"Anyone who has been a minor official for five years and has excellent assessments can be promoted to a ninth-rank official."

There is an essential difference between officials and officials. Officials are noble, while officials are inferior. If you become minor officials, you will basically cut off the possibility of promotion in this life.

But now it's different, they can continue to move up.

Although it is stipulated that minor officials can be promoted to the eighth rank, they are also officials!

The salary issue is something that makes most officials happy, especially after knowing that there are many benefits, I feel that I have met the wise king of the ages.

And taking advantage of the situation, Zhu Youjian brought up the long-planned "official assessment plan".

Leading with the reorganized Qing Li Examination Office, the verification of all officials is carried out, in name only to confirm the number and types of minor officials required under the powers of each department and their responsibilities. In fact, there is also the task of verifying the officials' own abilities.

When the welfare standards were issued, it was already said that the performance of officials is required to be assessed and then the year-end bonus is awarded, so everyone is still very supportive of the work of the Qing official exam meritorious service.

After all, no matter which level is finally evaluated, there is at least a reward.

But then they gradually realized that these people seemed to be bad.

But it was too late to raise an objection at this time, and the person who was beaten can only think of himself as unlucky, because others could not hit the gun for them.

This is a "small cleaning", and its main purpose is to improve the efficiency of officials from all over the Ming Dynasty.

It takes a long time to complete the assessment, and there is another major event to be done in the first month.

Cao Bianjiao and the others are going to go out to sea.

When Cao Bianjiao was appointed as Beiyangbo, he served as the general of Far East City, Li Zi became the garrison of Far East City, and Li Guo was the chief of Far East City, but this Far East City had not been established for a long time.

It is not a good time to go to Kuwu Island at this time. After all, it is cold and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean north of the peninsula is even colder.

But Cao Bianjiao and others have been waiting for a long time, and they are eager to show their ambitions.

Kuwu Island is very far from the capital. It may take two or three months to take the original Ming ship by sea. Now with the steam iron armored ship, you should be able to arrive in one month.

The island of Kuwu is not deserted, but the savage Jurchen tribe lives. If these people can be found, it will be faster to build a city.

According to Cao Bianjiao's idea, the sooner the city was completed and the more they had to rely on it, the sooner they could launch an offensive against the Later Jin from north to south.

It takes time to build a city, and Zhu Youjian's order was to build a city first and then march south.

Cao Bianjiao did not want to miss the battle to recover Liaodong, so he proposed the idea of ​​setting off as soon as possible.

After some discussion, Zhu Youjian agreed to his idea, so on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Cao Bianjiao led two thousand Jizhou troops and five hundred technical engineers from the Huangxia Construction Chamber of Commerce to take the Polu, and under the escort of the Denglai Naval Division, he set out from Tianjin Port to Kuwu Island.

No one of them had been there, but they only rely on a chart given by Zhu Youjian and the calculations of the old navigation technicians who followed the ship.

This was the first time Cao Bianjiao boarded the iron armored ship. He stood on the deck and looked at the sea in the distance. He felt a little uncomfortable. After all, as a land duck, he had just learned simple swimming skills before the New Year.

Seeing that Cao Bianjiao's face was not good, Chen Anyu spoke out and said, "Beiyangbo, why don't we go inside and rest?"

Cao Bianjiao waved his hand and said, "No, Your Majesty said that in the future, I will also take a warship to conquer cities and plunder land for the Ming Dynasty. I must adapt to this as soon as possible.

I can bear it, Captain Chen, please go and see the others and help them relieve them."

Chen Anyu's face became more admirable when he heard this. He was worthy of being a fierce man who killed the Jianlu Khan, but he had endurance.

At this time, the two of them came over. It was Li Zicheng and Li Guo.

Li Zicheng first greeted the two, and then said to Cao Bianjiao: "General, the subordinates watched the space in the cabin is limited, and most of the soldiers are not suitable for sea life.

At this time, everyone should be asked to pay attention to hygiene to prevent filth from causing illness. There are only five doctors on the ship. If there is a problem, there may be no time to treat it."

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he immediately said, "It makes sense, I was negligent. Captain Chen, please follow me to arrange it!"

After saying that, Cao Bianjiao looked at Li Zicheng again and said, "You are very good. I will also remember this for you!"

"The general is responsible to the soldiers under his jurisdiction. This is the content of the quote left by Your Majesty when he taught the Yongwei camp. My subordinates just did it according to Your Majesty's request and did not dare to take credit!" Li Zicheng replied.
Chapter completed!
