The meeting the next day was just a huddle.

Let everyone know what they should and should not do next.

Basically, I just talk about work arrangements and stuff.

The red rope given to Hong Min was really given by the emperor.

Hong Min, who looked confused, could not believe that the Han emperor would pretend to be a censor and go to Pingyin County in person.

And myself...

And you even boasted a lot to the emperor?

Every time he thought about what he said the day before, Hong Min felt his scalp itching.

The class is doing tricks, the class is doing tricks...

Fortunately, I didn't say anything more extreme, otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with it next.

The first task assigned to Hong Min was to arrange the whereabouts of Pingyin County officials.

Because this group of people were originally transferred from various places, they can be deployed at will within Sanchuan County, and there is no need to follow the rules of recruiting from other places.

At the same time, this meeting also determined some detailed issues regarding appointments and removals in other places.

For example, if a county-level official does not serve as an official in his or her own county and is appointed or dismissed in a neighboring county, the closest distance to his or her hometown shall not be less than four hundred miles.

Chen Hua was appointed as the chief administrator of Sanchuan County. He was a subordinate official of the county magistrate. Although he was only a subordinate official, his rank was not low, and he was the sixth rank.

The county magistrate Tang Zhi was appointed as the magistrate of Yiyang, and the county lieutenant Liu Hu was appointed as the magistrate of Xingyang.

As a big city, Xingyang's status is naturally different. Although it has not been appointed as a county magistrate, its level is the same as that of other county magistrates, and they are all seventh grade.

Although they are all counties, there are good and bad ones, and not all counties are the same.

As for other colleagues, except for one person who was appointed as Pingyin Order and continued to preside over Pingyin government affairs, almost all the others were appointed as county magistrates or county lieutenants in various places in Sanchuan County.

The first batch of officials transferred from Pingyin County were all promoted within a few months.

Basically, these seven people will take on the heavy responsibility of the next regulatory reform in the six counties.

Other counties need officials, and Hong Min needs to take care of them personally.

There is no way, there are only so many people, and it is naturally impossible to allocate one to every county.

The next step is to distribute the money to those officials who have been waiting for a long time in the Luoyang official inn.

Although they do not belong to the first batch in a strict sense, they are actually the first batch.

And this group of people are basically elite forces from various places. If they are transferred here, they will naturally be promoted to a higher level.

Based on the information and the investigation given by the Examination Department, Hong Min tried his best to balance the power and capabilities of each county, so that they could make up for each other's lack of capabilities as much as possible, thereby maximizing administrative power.

Work started a regular life for Hong Min, and also started a busy life.

Even when his wife and children came to Luoyang, he didn't have time to greet them.

It wasn't until his wife and children had lived in their new home in Luoyang for five days that he stepped into his own home for the first time.

And now, the young and energetic Hong Min also feels what someone is feeling.

It’s not that I want to let my wife down, but I’m really too tired to carry the gun.

…

Time goes by little by little, and the weather gradually gets hotter.

The feeling of summer is finally back.

The Huns did not attack Yuezhi as planned.

According to the latest intelligence, the Xiongnu had already assembled their troops at the beginning of spring, and they were just waiting for an order to attack the Yuezhi people.

However, at this moment, the envoy from King Donghu came.

He severely blackmailed Modun Chanyu, and at the same time made Modun Chanyu realize that the Donghu people were the first enemy in front of him.

Therefore, the Huns adjusted their strategy and decided to deal with the Donghu people first, while focusing on defense against the Yuezhi people.

Maodun Shanyu, who had been extorted a sum of money, was naturally not willing to accept it. He had even made a plan to launch an attack on the Donghu people in the spring of next year.

He wants the Donghu people to pay the price.

For Han, this is an excellent opportunity.

In winter, the Yuezhi people handed over 50,000 war horses to Han Xin. After spring, they handed over 50,000 horses in several installments, and then agreed to deliver all the remaining 150,000 horses before autumn.

Obviously, the Yuezhi people thought about going back on their word, and used some means to turn 300,000 into 250,000.

But the Han Kingdom also immediately issued a warning, which made the Yuezhi people dare not take risks anymore, and could only hand over the war horses honestly.

The war horse matter has been resolved for the time being.

The deployment of officials also went very smoothly, and the big framework was basically set. This was almost entirely due to Hong Min, and the rest was just tinkering.

Due to the reform of the official system and the relaxation of the external environment, the Ministry of War has temporarily postponed the recruitment of troops.

At present, the final touches are basically finalized.

"Okay, that's it, hurry up and make arrangements, and send another 50,000 people to Han Xin before the end of summer!" Wang Buxu looked over the recruitment conditions and nodded with satisfaction.

He could feel the resistance from Guanying.

He naturally knows the reason.

The conditions given are too good.

However, Wang Buxin knew very well that these conditions must be met.

Otherwise, the professionalization of the military will be a joke.

The biggest resistance given by Guan Ying was that he only changed a little bit at a time, and then he was denied by himself, so he continued to take it back and slowly change it.

It seems that he hopes to change his mind through this method of relaxation.

But it's a pity that Guan Ying didn't know the real intention of his move.

If the Han army wants to conduct expeditions in the future, this kind of military system will be necessary.

"Your Majesty, once this order is issued, Guantian's income will drop sharply in the future!" Guan Ying still persuaded without giving up.

"If we want the soldiers to work hard and guard the frontier far away from their hometowns, we must provide these generous benefits. Even so, I still feel that there are some shortcomings." Wang Buxu refused directly.

Are the conditions provided good enough?

As of now, it's pretty good.

First, the cultivated land belonging to the soldier himself is exempt from tax during the service period.

Secondly, the service period is five years. After five years, you can choose whether to continue serving or go home. Of course, if the army thinks that you are just here to hang out and wait to die, you will be dismissed in advance.

Then, during the service period, in addition to tax exemption, military pay was also paid. The military pay was five dan of grain for the first year, and one dan for each subsequent year.

Want to tie up a soldier for a year with five kilos of grain?

This seems a bit fanciful.

However, this is far from over.

Later, the infantry officers who guard the frontier will receive a salary starting from six dan in the first year, and every year after that, the salary will be increased by one stone and one jun. The extra amount is a subsidy for guarding the frontier.

The cavalry who guarded the frontier received a salary of seven dan in the first year, and an additional one and two dan each year thereafter. The extra amount compared to the infantry was a cavalry subsidy.

Do you think this is the end?

Not yet. For troops who need to leave the country for war, expedition subsidies will be given. This subsidy is one Jun per month.

Although it's not much, if you stay out for a whole year, that's three kilos of food.

If a cavalryman guarding the border goes out to fight in the first year, his salary for this year is a guaranteed minimum of ten dan.

If the battle continues for five years, the second year will be eleven stones and two jun, the third year will be thirteen stones, the fourth year will be fourteen stones and two jun, and the fifth year will be sixteen stones.

This is just the military pay for an ordinary soldier. If he achieves meritorious service and becomes an official or something, the military pay will be increased again.

Giving military pay is just a way to provide motivation to people, and more people still hope to obtain titles through military exploits.

If there was no waterwheel to increase production or anything like that, Wang Buxu would naturally not dare to do this.

Of course, there is also his false father Shen Nong. Although the winter wheat has not been harvested yet, so far, the results are good.

Combining the two, it is no problem to not only double the output from one acre of land in a year, but at least increase it by 50 to 60% compared to before.

After all, they have been planted for two seasons. As for other things, aren’t they exploring other places?

There are many places waiting to be developed now. Wang Buxu asked Zhang Cang to calculate it. If the development goes smoothly, in three to five years, the imperial court will be fully capable of affording a local garrison of no less than 300,000, as well as three

An expeditionary force of one hundred thousand.

And compared with the previous recruitment policy, this set of recruitment policies is not even a bit better.

Some are happy, some are worried.
