"Don't you have a counselor by your side?" Gongsunda asked relentlessly.
"The war has just ended, and military affairs are heavy." Ding Kui avoided the important and took the easy.
Shao Dianzhang suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, Elder Gongsun doesn't want me to write it, right?"
"I dare not." Gongsunda said expressionlessly, "I will ask questions as usual when it comes to public matters, but I want to preserve the dignity of the court in private matters. I hope you won't misunderstand anything." After saying this, he returned to the ranks of the Senate.
"Okay! This court has nothing to report." Jiang Li hurriedly stepped forward to suppress the people in the Senate to avoid causing trouble again.
Next, it was the clan's turn to report. Finally, Shaodianmi had done his job well and closely monitored the clan members, and no unexpected incidents occurred.
"The reports of the two houses and houses have been completed. This court meeting has taken too long. For the sake of the king's health, officials who have other matters need to leave the court and report later."
Shao Dian Luan received Ding Kui's suggestive look and ended the court meeting as soon as possible.
In the side hall, a large number of guards were guarding the outside, and Ding Kui and his wife were taking a nap in the hall.
"Besides the few just now, who are there other difficult people?" Ding Kui was helping his wife sort out her meridians.
Shao Dianluan said lazily: "I can deal with some little people slowly. My mother said they are whetstones that can train my abilities and be good for educating my children in the future. Well, I haven't been this relaxed for a long time."
"I'll ask Liu Yu to come back and help you." Ding Kui was still worried.
When he was in Nanzhao Prefecture, Liu Yu handled most of the government affairs, Long Yan would also help with some, and Shao Dianluan took care of more household affairs.
"No need. Mother is right. I have to plan for the future. The clan government will send someone to help me."
With the help of several clan elders, nearly half of the officials at all levels in the clan office have now been replaced, and they are basically all loyal to Shao Dianfeng. Among them are many people who are proficient in government affairs. Shao Dianluan can use many more people than Ding Kui.
"When will you return to the front line?"
"I have to deal with some things, it will probably take a few days." Ding Kui didn't just leave after attending the court meeting.
"Going back home?"
"So many pairs of eyes staring at you will only increase your worries."
"Then where do you live?"
At this time, Shaodian Luan was a gentle and virtuous wife, and she did not have the aura to overwhelm the officials at court.
"There is a general's residence in the commander-in-chief's palace, so it's easy for me to handle it alone."
"Oh." Shaodian Luan was a little disappointed, "I asked Haishi to wait on you." It was not convenient for her to go to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion.
"It's not necessary." Ding Kui felt more relaxed alone.
"Now that the capital is the rear, there are so many rules. I have the final say on this matter!"
"..."
It was not until dinner time that Shaodian Zhang waited for Ding Kui.
"Come back at this time. General, do you plan to treat me to dinner?"
"Why not? My subordinates are also hungry. Can you please honor me and have dinner with me?" Ding Kui climbed along the pole and seized the opportunity to connect with his boss.
"Hahaha, whether I eat you or not, I am suspected of covering you up. I won't be polite today."
"..."
Ding Kui took his leaders to the restaurant owned by the Jiang family.
The shopkeeper didn't need to be reminded. He recognized the future head of the family's biological father at a glance, ran over and greeted the distinguished guests himself.
Shaodianzhang joked: "It seems that you can eat better than me in the capital."
Ding Kui laughed at himself: "This subordinate is pretending to be a tiger and a fox, borrowing your prestige.
Shopkeeper, you can bring good wine and food, but you must serve the boss well.
If your Excellency is not satisfied at all, I will bring trouble to your employer."
"Don't worry, little man! I won't cause any trouble to the Prince Consort."
The shopkeeper thought to himself: You are the boss behind the scenes, so there is no reason to cause trouble for yourself.
"That's it! You're not pretending like that." Shaodian Zhang complained, "Tell me, what specific changes do you want to make about the military reform you mentioned?"
In his report, Ding Kui proposed to his leaders that he wanted to carry out military reform and rectify the military.
"That's it..." He said generally.
Such a major matter as military reform requires a special meeting of the General Command to study it, and then write a detailed report and submit it to the king for approval. The king can only make a final decision after a court meeting.
However, Shaodianzhang needs to understand it before the meeting to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Hmm." Shaodianzhang chewed the food in his mouth carefully and quickly made a judgment on Ding Kui's plan in his mind.
"It involves a wide range of matters and cannot be decided by this government alone. Tomorrow we will convene the commanders of all ministries to discuss it carefully."
He did not comment on whether it was good or bad, but he was prepared to hold a meeting to discuss it, neither objecting nor agreeing, and maintaining the authority that the superior should have.
For Ding Kui, this was the first step. If he could put it on the table for discussion, he would have a chance to convince the commander-in-chief.
The day after the meeting, there was a regular meeting at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. After briefly introducing the situation on the front line, Ding Kui talked about military reform at the suggestion of Shao Dianzhang.
"The current situation in the country is different from usual. Some of the military's outdated practices should be adjusted. The general has some shallow opinions. I hope that the commander-in-chief and all commanders-in-chief will correct them."
"Adjusting the outdated practices in the military" is a big topic. When it was brought up for discussion today, there was no news before. The uninformed commander secretly observed others after hearing this and found that people who shared the same ideas felt a little relieved.
"The first thing that needs to be adjusted is the auxiliary force system. Finally, the general proposes to build professional auxiliary combat units across the country, with local governments responsible for organizing training."
"Professional auxiliary combat troops?"
"There is a big difference between auxiliary soldiers and new recruits. I think there are several types of professional auxiliary soldiers:
1. Transportation teams are roughly similar to ordinary civilians, but they are more familiar with roads, more proficient in vehicles, have more endurance, etc. There are tens of thousands of qualified transportation teams, and large-scale marches can be upgraded to a higher level.
2 The engineering team is responsible for digging roads through mountains, building bridges when encountering water, digging ditches and building walls, building camps, etc. I will call them engineers. I believe everyone can see the benefits of having them in the army.
3. Equipment Team: Due to the increase in newly developed equipment, the troops have to relearn how to use it. Ordinary people can also do this. It is the same to train from scratch, saving the training time of the main battle unit.
4. The medical team does not mean that all members have the ability of medical officers. It can be divided into functions, including bandaging, lifting, collecting corpses, caring for the wounded, etc., which can greatly increase the recovery ability of the army.
5 Publicity Team, here I want to explain the necessity of publicity and performance..."
Ding Kui told the story of the military art troupe in his previous life, emphasizing the role of propaganda and psychological comfort.
When Gongsunjie heard this, he immediately said: "This kind of matter should be handled by the Military Law Department, how can it be handed over to the local government? When civilians enter the camp and mix with officers and soldiers, many violations of military discipline will inevitably occur. This has historical lessons.
"
Ding Kui said with a smile: "Commander Gongsun means to agree to the reform of the auxiliary army system? The specific method can be discussed later."
