As a lord, I was forced to farm

Chapter 171 Military Merit System

Then came the matter of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Mao stepped forward and said: "At present, the printing of books is still going on, [-] copies of the five-element earth-level exercises have been printed, and a hundred copies of many mortal-level exercises have been printed... Su The roads inside Ling Town are basically opened up, and the main road will be built with stone roads next, but... there are insufficient stone materials, manpower, and funds..."

Not to mention, stones seem to be everywhere, and most people don't take stones seriously. However, in fact, stones are a very important resource in the territory, and building houses and roads is a waste of stones.

Jiang Ran once again turned his gaze to the stranger, but this time the target was Jia Bing.

The Sky Swallowing Purple Armored Beast is a kind of monster that likes to make holes, and is born to distinguish stones of various materials, and has a high sensitivity to stones. It is simply a natural "absenteeism" and "authentic engineer".

"Jia Bing, would you like to come to the Ministry of Industry and give you an official position? The monthly salary is forty crystals, and you can also receive 120 shi of grain every year."

Jiang Ran is still very generous to the officials below. In addition to the basic salary, third-rank officials can receive ten shi of food every month, and give some rewards from time to time.

Therefore, each of the officials in the town worked hard to shine in their respective positions.

With such good benefits, many people are naturally envious, and all of them want to be officials, which greatly stimulates the desire of the people in the town to study.

None of the strangers expected that Jiang Ran would use them so much. They thought it would be fine as long as the lord didn't oppress them...

This job is not worth it, and my eldest brother has become a wage earner, so Jia Bing naturally has no problem.

Here, the stone problem can be said to be half solved. As for people and funds... In terms of people, hundreds of labors have been added, so this problem is not difficult to solve.

The difficulty is funding.

Of course, Jiang Ran was not without money.

However, as the saying goes, the treasury and the internal treasury should be separated, otherwise it will be messed up.

The difference between the national treasury and the internal treasury is that the internal treasury is money that the lord of a city can use at will, while the national treasury cannot.

The source of income of the treasury basically comes from taxation, and the treasury needs a budget that is allocated to the lord's mansion and its internal affairs, that is, to the lord of a city.

Jiang Ran's own money earned outside should also belong to the city owner himself.

Although it is said that the entire Suling Town belongs to Jiang Ran, the internal treasury and the national treasury transfer money to each other, it seems that they are just going from the left pocket to the right pocket.

However, if Jiang Ran always "gives" private property to the state treasury, that's not called governing a city or country, it's called supporting tens of thousands of people by himself!

In the long run, the lord will be physically and mentally exhausted, and it will do all kinds of harm to the territory without any benefit.

Just imagine, when the people know that no matter what they do, there will always be someone above them who will cover for them, and will always send money down for free, so what enthusiasm will the people have for work?

Jiang Ran is not a saint, and accepting being a lord was only for his own benefit at first.

The treasury and the internal treasury are not separated, and Jiang Ran cannot guarantee whether she will withdraw money from the treasury at will in the future.

After all, the nature of human beings is greed, and Jiang Ran is not interested in testing her own humanity with territorial events, so this kind of thing must be cut off from the beginning.

But this time I went to Tianchen City, Suling Town still made a lot of money. "Mines" like Chuanyinluo and Ice Armor Jiang Ran counted them as the property of the territory, and the net profit they got , Jiang Ran collected half of it himself, and the other half rushed into the treasury.

So, Jiang Ran asked, "Wu Yun, how much money is left in the territory now?"

Before leaving Suling Town, Jiang Ran left Wu Yun with a thousand crystals.

As for the funds placed in Wu Yuna, Jiang Ran called it the "Fangcang", which was used to invest in the infrastructure construction of the territory and to distribute the salaries of officials and the military pay of the army.

Jiang Ran thought about not letting Wu Yun manage all the treasury, but would Wu Yun dare?
Hearing this, Wu Yun smiled wryly, and replied, "It's less than a hundred crystals."

This is still the remainder of unpaid military pay and official salaries...

So it's not that he doesn't want to transfer money to Chen Mao, it's that he really has no money!
Jiang Ran nodded and said, "Give me this month's account book later."

Then she took out one hundred spirit crystals, ten thousand pure crystals, ten thousand gold dollars and ten thousand silver dollars from the empty ring and gave them to Wu Yun.

"Okay, okay..." Wu Yun was almost buried by a large sum of spiritual crystals, and his shocked heart kept beating.

Sir, if you trust him so much, you are not afraid that he will run away with money!

Then, Jiang Ran decided to build a tool training workshop and an alchemy workshop, which were placed under the Ministry of Industry, and Bai Lifei and Mu Xi were in charge respectively.

The Ministry of Rites is mainly responsible for engineering matters these days, and Yang Guiying is quite responsible. In addition to taking time off to give lectures on engineering, she also invites knowledgeable people such as Lin Sha and Qiu Baishui to give lectures to the children, broadening the children's horizons and setting them up. An idea of ​​loyalty to the lord and the city.

After that, Jiang Ran asked Hu Chi to follow Yang Guiying to learn about the education situation in Suling Town, and announced him as the chief instructor of the monk class.

"Yang Guiying, you are the head of the Ministry of Rites. In addition to education, you are also responsible for all diplomacy. Now that the outside world is changing, you must be prepared to hand over to the outside world."

"Commander Tian." Jiang Ran's eyes softened a little. The rough man in front of him had a new scar on his face, which was ferocious. Jiang Ran didn't think his face was scary, but felt that Tian Jing was firm and reliable.

There were a lot of rumors when Jiang Ran was not in the town. Both Yang Hao and Yan Xi sent people to either threaten or lure Tian Jing to leave Suling Town. They even persuaded Tian to fail and directly engaged in assassination and sneak attacks. The wound on his face That's what caused it.

Tian actually grinned silently, "The subordinate is here."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ran's eyes returned to indifference, and said: "Next, the army will be reorganized, and in the future, drills will be held in South Crown City every month."

South Crown City?
Tian Jing's doubts have not yet been answered, and the lord said: "From today, Suling Town will implement a new military merit system. Steward Li."

Under the curious eyes of everyone, Li Fusheng pulled out a roll of paper and read aloud, "...those who have military merits will be honored with their own ranks."

This sentence is not difficult to understand, it means that regardless of the origin, as long as anyone who has made military exploits can be knighted and rewarded.

The military industry system was formed by Jiang Ran based on the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty and Shang Yang's reforms. It may not be appropriate to apply it to Suling Town, so it needs to be modified according to the actual situation.

I just heard Li Fusheng continue to read out: "The officers and men can be divided into twenty grades, one is the official, the second is the superior, the third is the hairpin, the fourth is not more, the fifth is the official, the sixth is the official, the seventh is the official, the eight is the official, and the ninety-five. Ten left elders, eleven right elders, twelve left shifts, thirteenth middle shifts, fourteen right shifts, fifteen young masters, sixteen grand masters, seventeen four chariot elders, eighteen great elders , nineteen Guanneihou, twenty is Chehou..."

And the people below have been confused by this string of words!
It seems... the lord has made a big deal in silence again!
