I collect gold fingers in the heavens

Chapter 591 Civil and Military Affairs

When Wu Siyuan got married, Wang Hongyi was not idle either.

As the son of a daughter, he went to Hongyang mansion to recruit talents without hesitating to risk his life, which really allowed him to recruit Lai Tongyu, Chai Jia and other talents who were either literary or military.

Wang Hongyi was very lucky because of this.

In the same month, bandits broke into and looted houses in the surrounding areas of Jishui County, and an old rich landlord was robbed of many belongings.

The landlord and the rich man came to Wang Hongyi crying.

After investigation, Wang Hongyi discovered that the bandit had a certain relationship with He Wulang, the leader of the mountain people who had taken refuge in him.

He Wulang also knew several secret passages in the mountain village where the bandits lived.

So Wang Hongyi sent He Wulang to lead hundreds of elite soldiers to attack.

It didn't take much time.

The mountain stronghold where the bandit lived was breached, the bandit bowed his head, and the mountain people in the mountain stronghold were forcibly moved to the foot of the mountain. There were three hundred households.

Including the original households, there are [-] households.

Because of Wu Siyuan's previous support, there was no food shortage like in the original book.

Wang Hongyi was able to focus on other things.

Under Wu Siyuan's suggestion and Wang Hongyi's original consideration.

Wang Hongyi promoted public toilets and public bathhouses in Jishui County, prohibiting defecation anywhere.

Then a literacy school was built, and several gentlemen were invited to teach simple characters and simple calculations. If nothing else, the basics are that they can read and write their own names, and they are qualified if they can know a hundred characters.

Children in Jishui County are forced to go to school, and only have half a day of class, and the remaining half of the day is sent home to work in agriculture.

There is no way, this is the limitation of the times, children have to work as farmers to help the family at a young age.

Wang Hongyi also understands.

Then Wang Hongyi vigorously built canals and reclaimed wasteland.This is what Wang Hongyi has been doing since he established himself in Jishui County.

At this time, the hundreds of cows given by Wu Siyuan came in handy.

Over the past few months, tens of thousands of acres of land have been reclaimed around Jishui County, all of which are planted with wheat and some vegetables.

There is more land, but what Wang Hongyi worries about is that the population is too small.

At this time in the original book, Wang Hongyi was always short of food.

But because Wu Siyuan supported another [-] shi, there was a total of [-] shi of grain, which could feed a thousand households for [-] months.

In terms of food, Wang Hongyi does not need to worry.

So Wang Hongyi offered good conditions to recruit refugees and introduce people.

He Wulang moved his mind, and after obtaining Wang Hongyi's consent, he moved thousands of people from the mountains around Jishui County, near the foot of the mountain, established Hejia Village, and shared the land.

Of course, more people come from Taisu County adjacent to Jishui Town.

This is the site of Changding Town, and there is a capital in it - Chuanzhong Capital.

Chen Xiang, the former commander of Chuanzhong Capital, was killed by Wang Hongyi's surprise attack, and after being disabled, he retreated to Taisu Town to recuperate.

Army repairs need money.

In the case of not being able to get it from above, Chuanzhong had no choice but to exploit the people.

As a result, the lives of the people in Taisu County have been miserable day by day. I don't know how many people were forced to sell their wives and children.

After Wang Hongyi learned about this from Wu Siyuan, he dispatched secret agents to Taisu County to encourage the people and arranged for them to live in Jishui County.

By the time Chuanzhongdu reacted, closed the city gates, and conducted detailed investigations, Wang Hongyi had already stolen [-] people from Taisu County, divided the land, and built [-] households.

At this time, Jishui County was already a county seat with nearly [-] households.

According to the imperial court regulations, more than [-] households are upper counties, more than [-] households are middle counties, those with less than [-] households are lower counties, and those with less than [-] households are not called counties.

Wang Hongyi had already reached the standard for establishing a county before, and now he was about to reach the standard for Zhongxian.

This is Wang Hongyi's achievement in civil affairs.

But if a county is prosperous without the corresponding self-protection ability, it is just a fat sheep.

Wang Hongyi has a gully in his chest, so naturally he would not make this mistake.

He invested more in military and political affairs.

First of all, he clarified the reward and punishment system in the army. There are rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits. The rewards and punishments are clearly defined, which greatly boosted morale.

He also set up lecture halls in the army.

The school is for young children in the county, while the lecture hall is for adult soldiers in the army.

At the beginning, Wang Hongyi didn't have very high requirements for him. On the one hand, he wanted soldiers to learn to write their names and know simple numbers, and on the other hand, he asked an experienced veteran to share his combat experience.

Only when Wang Hongyi's influence further expands can this martial arts lecture hall slowly develop into a military academy, which will train a steady stream of non-commissioned officers for his army to ensure that it can form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

However, there is still a long way to go to do this step.

At the same time as the lecture hall was established, Wang Hongyi also established a medical hall, recruited doctors, established ranks, and granted official positions.

The medical hall is divided into two departments, one is the medical department and the other is the pharmaceutical department.

However, in this era, there is no division of medicine, so although there are two departments, they are all from the same group of people.

Wang Hongyi taught them the concept of disinfection, and asked them to make gold sore medicines, which are needed for marching and fighting, to prepare for the next battle.

Wu Siyuan gave advice at the right time, asking Wang Hongyi to send people to secretly collect pine needles, secretly boil water, and give it to the soldiers.

This is the secret recipe that can cure night blindness.

Night blindness, commonly known as "blindfolding", is a medical term that refers to the symptoms of blurred vision or complete inability to see things and movement difficulties in dimly lit environments or at night.The symptoms are generally due to vitamin A deficiency.

Ancient people were malnourished, and many people suffered from night blindness, so night battles were rare in ancient times.

It's not that I don't want to, but it's difficult!

In ancient times, people were also afraid of bombing camps at night.

Because once the soldiers bombed the camp and were under night blindness, they would really kill both the enemy and us!

When the volunteers entered the DPRK, hundreds of thousands of people suffered from night blindness due to malnutrition, which was solved by this prescription.

This prescription is priceless, with it, Wang Hongyi's soldiers will not be afraid of night battles.

But it's not worth the money.

Wang Hongyi understood, did not say much, but practiced secretly, and provided the boiled pine needle water to his own army day and night.

At that time, Wang Hongyi took down Jishui County, and Wang Zunzhi named him a captain of Bapin Guoyi, in charge of the second battalion.

The formation of the feudal town consists of five people for a team, ten people for a fire, and fifty people for a team. The team is already a serious military officer. From the ninth rank, it is called the deputy lieutenant.

The second team is the first battalion, and the chief is called the captain of the accompanying army, a military officer of the ninth rank.

Five hundred people are one guard, the chief officer is Xuanwu Xiaowei, three guards are one capital, and the capital is set up as a commander, who can be called a general at the general level. There are [-] people.

There are three capitals and one government, and there are guerrilla generals, with a total number of [-] people!

The two battalions are 200 people.

But at this time, Wang Hongyi had more than 200 troops under his command.
