Su Fan knew very well how many administrative staff Taipingdao would need in the future. It would be like the huge number of administrative staff in later countries.
Ancient dynasties, even the Song Dynasty, which had many officials and personnel, were far behind the later administrators.
It's not that the administrative staff were incompetent later, but that the administrative divisions became clearer later on, making it easier to deal with problems when the time comes.
And it is more suitable for professionals to do it professionally.
In ancient history, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, some scholars who studied hard became Jinshi and became county magistrates. However, 90% of such Jinshi were useless as officials.
A group of people who just study hard and have no experience at all. Later, becoming a master became a profession.
In the 21st century, the country has learned these lessons.
The current disciples of Taiping Dao who have gone out to preach have been preaching outside for several years. In some villages, preaching is not just preaching, but many even replace the authority of the village elders and village chiefs.
After some experience, you come back to study systematically, which is very similar to the re-education of modern government personnel.
Of course, today's Taiping Dao disciples will certainly not be able to receive as much knowledge as those administrators in later generations.
But even so, they are much stronger than those village elders. With experience and systematic learning, they will grow faster in the future.
These disciples will become the middle level of Taiping Dao in the future. Once Taiping Dao enters the struggle for hegemony, many people will be able to fill the county seat. The county magistrate, county seat, and various officials and subordinates in the county government will all be filled by these people.
Filling up quickly.
The hand of Taipingdao can even reach out to local villages.
This can lay a great foundation for Taiping Dao. Taiping Dao does not need those top-level talents. It can be conquered city by city and filled with these grassroots disciples. It will soon be possible to slowly govern one county after another.
It can give Taipingdao a solid foundation and strong logistical strength.
To conquer the world, in addition to the army, it is food.
As for talents, of course they are also important, but in Su Fan's view, as long as the army is commanded properly and uses powerful force to crush the enemy, no strategy is needed at all.
Strategies are something that can only be used when they are equally matched, or when their strength is inferior to others.
When your true strength is enough to crush you, you don't need to consider anything else. Your uprightness is enough to make the other party despair.
Taipingdao will be preparing for this in the future, establishing a strong army and huge logistics to crush the enemy with absolute power.
The construction of the army, in addition to soldiers, is the logistics. Logistics includes the two main parts of food and weapons.
Needless to say, these two pieces include grain. Over the years, Taipingdao has been purchasing grain and storing it.
At the same time, we are also constantly opening up wasteland, because there are Taoist priests on Taiping Road who can perform spells, and the weather is smooth.
Two to three million acres of land have been developed in the valley here, and the annual harvest is almost 1,200 shi of food.
Ordinary soldiers in the army only consume a hundred dan of food at most in a year. This is still open to eating and training.
Ordinary local armies consume less than fifty dan of food a year because they don't have much training.
Only the elite at the border will consume a lot of food.
The army in the valley of Taiping Road has already built up 50,000 soldiers, all of whom have been trained for three years, not to mention that the amount of training is similar to that of the people's soldiers in later generations.
But it was definitely the one with the largest training volume in the Liu Han court. In addition to food, there was also meat, and the army was always well supplied.
Therefore, based on Su Fan's experience, this 50,000-strong army naturally had extraordinary momentum, and was almost the same as those elite soldiers in the border areas.
The only difference may be that the number of battles is much less.
According to Zhang Jiao's introduction, these 50,000 troops also saw blood and often went out to hunt down bandits and bandits.
But we never fought a tough battle. After all, the fighting power of bandits and bandits is limited.
The 50,000-strong army established by Taiping Road was able to wipe out all the bandits and bandits that appeared within a thousand miles around the valley.
This also brought peace to several counties within a thousand miles radius, which was considered an accident.
Jizhou is a prosperous place, but it has also attracted countless monsters, ghosts, monsters, and bandits.
Moreover, Jizhou is at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. The Taihang Mountains in Jiuzhou stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and there are even more mountains.
Many bandits and bandits ran into the mountains and built strongholds, leaving the officers and soldiers helpless.
The valley where Taiping Road is located is a branch of Taihang Mountain. The highest mountain nearby is more than three thousand feet high. In the previous life, it was almost the highest peak.
However, in Kyushu, it can only be regarded as average.
The Kunlun Mountains, the highest in Kyushu, are over 30,000 feet tall. Of course, this is the Kunlun Mountains in Kyushu.
In fact, Kunlun in the three realms of prehistoric times, let alone that.
Taiping Road Headquarters, this valley has been transformed for more than thirty years and is now no less than a city.
There are more than 800,000 people inside, and this population will only grow more and more.
As for whether the valley is not enough, with more than 8,000 square kilometers, it can theoretically accommodate even 30 million people.
The Demon City of Earth in the previous life was only 6,000 square kilometers, but its population reached 20 to 30 million.
Of course, Su Fan also knew that food resources would need to be provided from other places.
Moreover, the productivity of Taiping Road was not as high as that of later generations.
But two to three million is more than enough.
And the valley is not big enough, so we can just open up mountains and open up land to expand it. Originally, the valley did not have 8,000 people, only more than 5,000 at most. Over the years, Zhang Jiao used magical powers to open up mountains.
It is not impossible for a monk to move mountains and seas.
With Su Fan's behavior, he could even change the whole of Kyushu.
There are now more than 800,000 people in the valley. Except for the 50,000 elite troops and 50,000 reserve troops, the rest are either farmers farming or workers in various factories.
In recent years, Taipingdao has trained more than 100,000 workers. Although most of them are illiterate, training craftsmen is not that difficult.
These futures are the foundation for Taipingdao's industrial establishment.
It only lasts a few years now, and in the next few decades, there will definitely be no problem if it expands to the whole country.
Zhang Jiao introduced the army to Su Fan. Su Fan saw it and was very satisfied.
There are 50,000 elites, including 20,000 firearms corps, including 4,000 artillery pieces, and the remaining 30,000 are heavy infantry.
Except for a few officers in the cavalry, Taiping Road has not yet involved the cavalry.
However, Zhang Jiao also knows that Su Fan's effectiveness in the Northland is not worried. If the Zhang family joins the Northland in the future, there will be no shortage of cavalry in Taiping Road.
What's more, as firearms become more and more powerful, the cavalry is just an ordinary army in the eyes of Zhang Jiao and others. ()
