Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 160
When Geng Songfu said this, Chen Mo was silent for a moment. The reward and punishment system he currently established was to only get gold and silver for killing enemies. The more enemies you kill, the more money you get. In addition, promotion is given priority.

However, the award of official titles has not yet been established. After all, Chen Mo currently only has one county and does not have the right to award official titles. However, it will still be possible after it grows in the future.

Promoting officers and nobles, making marquises and becoming prime ministers are things that are engraved in the bones of the people and can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of soldiers.

Seeing that Chen Mo did not interrupt him, Geng Songfu knew that what he said should be of some use. Facing this young man who could manage a county so well, Geng Songfu did not dare to hide his clumsiness and talked about increasing horses.

Let's put it this way, a qualified cavalry, if the horses are armored, can defeat an army of [-] people with only more than [-] cavalry.

If there are five thousand riders, they can control a state.

The Qingzhou Army only has three thousand cavalry.

Under the charge of the cavalry, even an army composed entirely of low-grade warriors could not withstand it.

Of course, the so-called five hundred or five thousand horses does not only mean that there are only five hundred or five thousand horses.

Because it is standard for a cavalryman to be equipped with two horses, and all corresponding logistics units also need to be equipped.

Therefore, even building a cavalry team of [-] cavalry would cost a lot.

Of course, if it can be established, its power is unimaginable, and it can gain the upper hand even against mid-level warriors.

Everyone knows that establishing cavalry is a way to strengthen the army. If Geng Songfu could only say such crude words, he would not be able to become a second-class Jinshi.

He talked in detail about how to establish it: "There is a horse breed in Gaozhou called Gaopu Mustang. This horse is completely wild and must be domesticated before it can be used. Therefore, its reputation is not great and its price is not high. But its quantity is relatively large. many.

When Lao Zhuo was appointed magistrate of Wutai County, he discovered that the local people were able to train this kind of wild horse, and they also bred it with high-grade wild horses and inferior horses used for pulling goods. The resulting horses had thick limbs, short necks, round hips, and wide chests. It has a broad back and strong endurance. Its disadvantage is that it has a low running speed, but it is perfectly suitable for use as a war horse. The old man calls it a Wutai horse.

Lao Zhuo once wrote a letter to the superiors, requesting the superiors to vigorously develop Wutaima, but he never received a response. "

As he spoke, Geng Songfu raised his hands to Chen Mo and said, "If you give me your full support, Lao Zhuo is confident that I can train [-] war horses for you in three years, no, two years."

Hearing this, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He had been worried about not being able to get horses before, and asked: "What's the cost?"

"What adults don't know is that it usually takes five years for an ordinary horse to mature, but more than four years is enough for a Wutai horse. Many local people in Wutai County have bred Wutai horse young horses, preparing to use them when they grow up. Pull goods.

Because the Gaopu wild horse is a captured wild horse, it is a no-cost transaction, and its price itself is not high, so the price of this kind of Wutai young horse is not much higher. One horse is about five taels of silver. Adults can buy it from Purchased from the hands of local people. "

Speaking of this, Geng Songfu hadn't finished speaking yet, and then talked about the ultimate move:
"And after your Majesty buys these young horses from Wutai, you can sell them to the people of Pingting County at a low price or cost price, and let the people raise the horses for you. You only need to promise that when the horses grow up, your Majesty will pay you several times or ten times the price." The price is collected.

In this way, you can improve people's livelihood, get the war horses you need, and reduce the manpower to raise them yourself.

If you still think the price is high, you can buy a batch of Gaopu wild horses tamed by the common people from Wutai County and breed Wutai horses yourself, but it will take a lot longer. "

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked at Geng Songfu intently and immediately realized that this was a talent.

There are many talented people who can recognize and identify problems, but cannot come up with solutions to them.

But Geng Songfu can both discover and solve problems.

Isn't it true that Chen Mo is lacking such people at the moment?

Then Chen Mo asked him another question about how to relieve the victims.

Geng Songfu said: "You can advise the people who have been deployed to take out grain and add it to the government's grain for relief, and arrange additional houses for the victims to provide firewood and water.

Among the officials, those who were employed, those who were in vacancy, and those who were living in temporary residence were given salaries, allowing them to provide food to the old, sick and weak in places where common people gathered, and record the merits of these officials for future rewards.

Whatever the mountains, rivers, forests, ponds and lakes produced that was beneficial to the people's livelihood, the refugees were allowed to obtain it on their own, and the dead were buried together in large pits.If you are a king, wait for the wheat and rice to mature in the second year, and the people can receive food from far and near the road and go home. If you expand your power, you can expand your house, let them marry local wives and have children, and recruit young people as soldiers. "

Later, perhaps because of his increasing age, Geng Songfu began to understand a little more about the ways of the world, and even praised Chen Mo: "Your Excellency has done a very good job in this regard."

Finally, Chen Mo asked about economic development.

Geng Songfu naturally did not come up with any inventions and sell them to obtain money, but proposed a method to take them from the people and use them for the people, and formulated policies.

Chen Mo was completely convinced of Geng Songfu. He was able to do this because of his advanced understanding, and Geng Songfu learned it from reality.

He held Geng Songfu's hand heavily and said: "Mr. Geng is really my arm. Now that the county government still lacks the position of county magistrate, I feel wronged that Mr. Geng has condescended to me."

"My lord can take in Lao Zhuo, Lao Zhuo is very grateful. As for the official position, as long as he can do things for the people, Lao Zhuo doesn't care what the official position is." Geng Songfu said.

"Mr. Geng County Cheng is so humble." Chen Mo patted the back of Geng Songfu's hand and asked, "Do you have a wife, children, and mother at home?"

Geng Songfu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My parents died of illness ten years ago, and my wife and children died in the rebellion. Only Lao Zhuo is left alone."

"My condolences." Chen Mo sighed.

Geng Songfu had already looked away and said it was okay.At this moment, Geng Songfu's fishing rod placed by the lake suddenly moved and was dragged into the lake violently. Seeing this, Su Wen, with quick eyesight and quick hands, swooped down and grabbed the fishing rod, but the fish that was hooked seemed to be very big. , Su Wen looked a little struggling.

"It seems like we've caught a big fish." Geng Songfu walked over to help.

With the combined efforts of the two, a fish as thick as an adult's thigh was dragged into the case.

The people nearby exclaimed: "Isn't this one of those fish mentioned in the announcement? It has three eyes."

Chen Mo walked over.

"It's a tail-eye spirit fish." Geng Songfu exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a big tail-eye spirit fish."

Geng Songfu pinched the fish's belly and said, "It seems that it is still a female fish that is about to lay eggs."

Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and the fish seemed to weigh less than thirty kilograms and moved up.

The last time I got a tail-eye spirit fish that weighed less than a pound, I gained fifty experience points.

This fish, at least, can add a thousand and fifteen experience points.

The most important thing is that it is a tail-eyed spirit fish that is about to reproduce.

"Geng County Cheng, this fish"

Chen Mo originally wanted to split it equally.

But before he finished speaking, Geng Songfu said: "Sir, it is best to raise this fish first, dig a pond, and then catch carp and crucian carp as companions, so that it can continue to develop."

After saying that, he handed the fish to Chen Mo.

What Geng Songfu cares about is not this fish. If he had cared about this, if the case had not been investigated, he would now be at least a fifth-grade warrior. After all, the second-grade Jinshi who was with him were all middle-grade warriors.

Moreover, from the perspective of territorial jurisdiction, this piece of Dadong Lake is under the jurisdiction of Pingting County, so the fish in the lake can also be regarded as belonging to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was startled for a moment, and then said: "Then I won't be polite to Geng County Cheng. I need it exactly. But after this female fish lays eggs, the small tail-eyed spirit fish grows up, and Geng County Cheng must Come and taste it.”

After saying that, Chen Mo dug a puddle by the lake, put the tail-eyed spirit fish in the puddle to prevent it from dying, and then asked the brave guard below to get a water tank. Chen Mo wanted Transport this tail-eyed spirit fish back to the village to raise it.

This kind of innate spiritual creature has stronger vitality than ordinary fish and is easier to feed.

Chen Mo looked at Geng Songfu with a smile. It is said that people are in high spirits when happy events happen. What happened today made him forget all about the unhappiness he got from He Jinwu:
"Mr. Geng is really my lucky star. It seems that you and I are destined to be destined. Otherwise, we would never have been able to catch such a big spiritual fish. It will soon multiply."

"Being able to meet adults is also my fate." Geng Songfu had some expectation that he might be able to take revenge in his life in Pingting County.

"Haha, since we are so close to each other, it should come to light."

……

As the saying goes, don't use people who are suspicious, and don't use people who are suspicious.

After returning to the Yamen, Chen Mo immediately announced to everyone that Geng Songfu was appointed county magistrate.

Zhao Daoxian didn't know Geng Songfu, but he had heard that for scholars, the second-level Jinshi was equivalent to their idol.

Zhao Daoxian was very supportive of his appointment as county magistrate.

Geng Songfu was still very capable. He took up the job on the same day. After all, on the second day, he suggested a point that could be improved to Chen Mo.

That is the assessment system.

The current team established by Chen Mo does not have an assessment system. If you want to be promoted, it generally depends on whether you have made meritorious services.

But scribes and police officers are different. They cannot go to the battlefield, and it is more difficult for them to be promoted for meritorious service.

Moreover, it cannot rise, and wages are dead. As time goes by, people will become slacker. If things continue like this, it will be detrimental to development.

The assessment system formulated by Geng Songfu is that those who are capable will be promoted and those who are weak will be withdrawn.

Expand the number of officials to make them replaceable. At least three people will be added to each of the three shifts and six rooms for half a month or one month. If they pass the assessment, they can stay.

When the newly recruited junior officials are familiar with their duties, supervision can be established and strict punishments can be formulated. If they make mistakes, they can give a warning for small mistakes, and be demoted or punished with a cane, fines, etc. for big mistakes.

In this way, some officials who occupy positions but do not want to do anything will feel the crisis and become motivated.

ps: Thank you for your monthly pass!
