Qiming 1158

Chapter 49
After the initial establishment of the peasant association, the first task faced is population statistics.

After the task was issued, the peasant association that had just completed construction was in a hurry.

The commissioners sent by Su Yonglin were very depressed and found that they could not find a few helpers who could count.

When Zhou Daqiang, the special commissioner Su Yonglin sent to Ganquan Village, wrote to Su Yonglin to report his work, he said something that made Su Yonglin laugh with laughter.

The cadres in the peasant associations rarely know how to count. Most of the people's mathematical ability is stuck at scratching with their fingers.

After receiving the order, he arranged for the cadres in the peasant association to go out to count the population. After many people were sent out, they came back with straw in their hands.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that two fingers were holding a bunch of straw, and one hand was holding four bunches of straw.

Zhou Daqiang asked them why they did this. They replied that they were afraid of forgetting how many people they were. the number of households.

In this way, they reported the population of each family to Zhou Daqiang with the number of straws, and let Zhou Daqiang count it himself, and then recorded it on the record.

Qian Bao, the commissioner of Laoteng Village, also wrote a letter to Su Yonglin to report his work, which also highlighted this matter.

But the peasant association cadres in Laoteng Village are a little smarter.

They took pen and paper and used the method of drawing bars or circles to count. One person is a bar, and a family is a circle. Drawing bars in a circle is equal to how many people there are in a family.

When a piece of paper is filled, if a piece of paper cannot be drawn, change another piece of paper, and finally let Qian Bao count by himself.

Farmers are so simple.

Although they are so simple, they still quickly counted 130 nine households with strong work enthusiasm and high efficiency, allowing Su Yonglin to have a preliminary understanding of the power he has mastered.

This is much more efficient than bureaucrats.

The completion of this task can be regarded as proof that the peasant association can already complete some of the most basic tasks, and it can operate and complete the task independently, which is very good.

The lack of culture does not mean that farmers cannot complete the most basic governance work. As long as someone is organized and responsible, and given methods, they can complete similar work.

Even if the method used is very "earth".

It was also the first time for Su Yonglin to rule and master a region, and the success of the first time gave him confidence and valuable experience.

He has no doubts about the attempt to build a peasant association as a governance institution in the countryside, and he decides to promote it more in the future.

After the population count was completed, Su Yonglin issued a recruitment order to each village.

He called on people with surplus labor in each village to join the rebel army, and at the same time, he promoted the concept of "peasant's army" and "participating in the liberation army is to defend one's homeland" in each village.

The peasant army, the peasants participate in the peasants' formation, will support the peasants, and the peasants will be the masters of the army.

This is the first time in the world that someone has said that they need to support the farmers and make decisions for the farmers.

But these farmers didn't have too many qualms.

Because Su Yonglin really distributed the land to them, he didn't want a single mu of land, and he built a peasant association, letting the familiar villagers make their own decisions and exercise power.

This is really using farmers to manage farmers. Everyone is polite to discuss things. If there is any major problem, a village meeting is held to discuss together, so that everyone knows what is happening in the village, what to do, and how they should do it personally.

No one rides on their heads to piss and piss whatever they want.

The commissioners had a spring breeze on their faces, their words were warm, and there was no air.

When the troops entered the village, they did not bring any weapons. They were neatly dressed and neat. When they entered the village, they came to help with the work, and they did not ask for a penny.

Taxes were negotiated together by everyone. All the harsh and miscellaneous taxes stipulated by the Jin Kingdom were abolished. Only the most basic land tax was retained, and even the poll tax was abolished.

The peasants were so excited that tears fell to the ground.

No one could believe that the good days were actually coming.

Not to mention that the farmers knew in their hearts that they had no way out.

With the blood of the golden man on his hands, it would be very bad if he didn't follow the Restoration Army all the way.

Don't talk about the time when the extortionate and miscellaneous taxes will come back, that's all good, the worst case is that everyone will die together, and the whole village will be slaughtered by golden men.

They absolutely can do such a thing.

Therefore, taking advantage of the good reputation he had built in the early stage, Su Yonglin successfully called on a large number of strong men to join the army to defend his homeland and land.

By April 300, more than [-] strong men had voluntarily signed up to join the Victory Army.

When employing people, Su Yonglin did not take too much into consideration the quality of the soldiers.

Therefore, except for some who are really not suitable for the battlefield, basically all those who came to join the army were included in the Shengjie Army.

In this way, the Shengjie Army has more than [-] combat soldiers, more than doubling the number of soldiers.

Of course, this is not a problem.

If there are too many people, then reorganize the army and set up two new battalions, Qinglong Battalion and Xuanwu Battalion, and mobilize the elite backbone grass-roots officers of White Tiger Battalion and Suzaku Battalion to enter Qinglong Battalion and Xuanwu Battalion, and quickly bring the combat effectiveness of these two newly established units. stand up.

The Qinglong Battalion and the Xuanwu Battalion each had 500 combat soldiers, and the auxiliary Yicheng Army immediately began intense training.

Then, using the horses captured in this battle, Su Yonglin established a 300-man cavalry unit as his pro-army, and gave the army the title Huben Camp.

After a battle, the number of pro-armies has increased tenfold, which is really gratifying.

Of course, the warhorses he captured were far more than [-], but more than [-], but there were not so many soldiers who were good at riding horses who could fight as cavalry.

Su Yonglin's old base of 310 and seven people can ride horses, but there are still many of them who need to be placed in other positions, and the cavalry can only be retrained.

Of course, the good thing is that after the horses are complete, training cavalry will not be able to ride steadily on the horse in units of years like in the era when the horses were not complete. Now it is not difficult to ride on a horse.

As for the combat skills of cavalry, it can only be gradually cultivated in battle.

As an uprising army, the entire Restoration Army would not have much time for training troops, and the battlefield was the training ground.

It sounds cruel, but as a congenital insurgent and rebel, he can only gradually become stronger under such circumstances.

This is the case, but Su Yonglin's seizures along the way are also very rich.

Not to mention normal long spears, knives and shields, more than 100 pairs of valuables such as armor were also seized, more than 200 pieces of magic arm bows made by the Kingdom of Jin were seized, and more than 500 ordinary bows and crossbows were seized.

So Su Yonglin optimized the original configuration of the army formation and began to practice archers and crossbowmen on a large scale, striving to be more scientific and reasonable in the configuration of the army formation.
