Hearing what Su Yonglin said, Xin Qiji was stunned for a moment.
Tian Guizi's writing paused, and he raised his head and looked at Su Yonglin in surprise.
"Superior?"
"Yes, just like the imperial court has administrative levels such as roads, states, prefectures and counties, we can't just stay in the villages. Think about it, how many new rural areas do we control now? How many instructors are in office?"
Su Yonglin clapped his fingers and said: "As far as I know, due to the insufficient number of instructors, in many places one instructor is responsible for the farmers' association in several villages. He is exhausted from running back and forth, and he is very tired.
Moreover, there will only be more and more new rural areas in the future, and there will also be more and more peasant associations. Let the Ministry of General Affairs alone face thousands of peasant associations. Gezi, think about it. In that case, the work efficiency will be very high. ? Will you die from exhaustion? "
Tian Guizi thought about that situation, swallowed, and nodded.
"That's what Alang said."
"So, it is urgent to set up a superior. In the past, it was under the guidance of the Department of Guidance and it was difficult to set up. Now it has been transferred to the Resurgence Association, so there is a name. I think it is better to set it up at the township level. While training new people, Elderly people with meritorious service and rich experience are assigned to township peasant associations to take charge of coordinating the work of village peasant associations within townships.”
Su Yonglin said slowly: "We are just starting out and lack experience, so don't mention the county level all at once. We should go to the towns to train our instructors so that they have stronger governance capabilities and prepare for further promotion in the future. Base."
Tian Guizi started to write down, while Xin Qiji thought for a while and felt something was wrong.
"Su Shuai, if the Fuxing Association can also be responsible for general affairs, then if we can control the county and the state capital in the future, will the Fuxing Association also continue to upgrade?"
Su Yonglin looked Xin Qiji up and down for a while.
"You'an, I say you're smart, but you're really smart."
"Really?"
Xin Qiji was surprised and said: "If this is really the case, the Renaissance Society will not only be the central court? Wouldn't it also become a local government? By then, the powers of the Renaissance Society and the local government will be similar. Even if they are all people from the Renaissance Society, how will they differentiate their responsibilities? ?”
"Isn't it too early to mention this?"
Su Yonglin smiled: "But generally speaking, I plan to put the Renaissance Association together with the government. The government will handle administrative affairs, and there must be someone who can help me keep an eye on it."
Xin Qiji thought about it and suddenly his eyes widened and he took a breath of air.
Tian Guizi paused and looked up at Su Yonglin.
"In that case...Alang, the power of the Renaissance Association is very important. If you give such a big power to me, I..."
"Geizi, you have been with me all the way. You are able to do things well, have good conduct, and most importantly, you are in tune with me."
Su Yonglin patted Tian Guizi on the shoulder, then looked at Xin Qiji, and said: "You'an, although you are not an old man of the Su family, you are talented and smart, and you are also connected with me. You two are the helpers I rely on most. , the revival will help you straighten things out, I’m very relieved.”
Xin Qiji and Tian Guizi looked at each other and suddenly realized how high expectations Su Yonglin had placed on them.
"The Renaissance Association has very important responsibilities and powers, and that will be a matter for the future. Right now, it is just a grassroots team. You can help me pull it up, fill up the manpower, and actually take power. There is still a long way to go. If you can go down, you will have power in your hands. If you can't go down, , everything is over."
Su Yonglin smiled and held their hands tightly: "So don't think that this is a big cake falling from the sky. No, this is a heavy weight. It depends on whether you are strong enough to hold it. Don't it disappointed me."
The two nodded slowly, their expressions no longer full of surprise, only serious.
The Fuxing Meeting was obviously a sharp sword used by Su Yonglin to challenge Confucian hegemony, and the two of them were the ones who forged the sword. This heavy responsibility was entrusted to these two people. They were honored, excited, and worried at the same time. , solemn again.
Can the revival meeting be turned from a grassroots team into a behemoth?
they do not know.
Just like Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, who knows what a newborn baby will be able to do when it grows up?
However, we have to go on anyway.
Su Yonglin holds great power and cannot keep his energy in one place for a long time. At the moment, his energy must be mainly focused on the military aspect.
While he was paying close attention to troop training and military construction, he also devoted a large number of intelligence personnel to the intelligence war against the Jin Kingdom. The footprints of the members of the Su family intelligence team were all over Yanyun, Liaodong, and Hedong areas, and were extending to the Guanzhong area.
The intelligence route piled up with a lot of money is delivering a large amount of valuable military information to Su Yonglin, allowing him to know how far the world is developing by looking at the military map.
In August, Su Yonglin officially confirmed the Khitan Restoration Army... No, the Liao Army was already a grasshopper after the autumn and could not jump around for much longer.
However, he had a strong premonition that the Jin State would not delay sending troops. The Jin Army would definitely send troops south after basically quelling the Khitan rebellion.
Those Khitan people did such stupid things, which would inevitably arouse the Jin army's great anger and fierce attack. As long as the main force was destroyed, they could only flee east and west, and they would not be able to bring any major damage to the Jin country.
At that time, Wan Yanliang would definitely not just wait for them to be completely pacified, but would definitely send troops. In this way, if the autumn weather is clear and winter arrives at the latest, Wan Yanliang's army will definitely move south.
However, at this moment, Su Yonglin is no longer what he used to be. He has more than 200,000 troops, which are well-equipped and well-trained. The only shortcoming is the cavalry.
He collected war horses in many ways, but in the end he could only expand the cavalry to a little more than 12,000, and there would be no more.
During this period, the Jin soldiers did not go south, and the Southern Song Dynasty did not go north. Kong Yanzhou in the west was also busy licking his wounds, and there was no movement, so he did a lot of things.
First of all, Su Yonglin used this time to give the cavalry troops a good training session, allowing them to take this opportunity to improve their riding skills and engage in intensive training.
In addition, Su Yonglin also used the heavy armor of cavalry captured in the previous battle of Zhending to arm himself with a hundred heavy-armored iron pagodas. As an absolute weapon, he could use it when necessary to give the Jin army a small chance. surprise.
Then came the rush to build up armaments and large-scale armament.
He fully mobilized the human, material and financial resources of Shandong and Hebei, and used a mature team of craftsmen to produce sophisticated knives, guns, shields, crossbows, and armor, and also made up for the army's shortcomings in equipment.
At present, not counting the performance and training level, in terms of military equipment alone, the main force of the fifteen armies directly controlled by Su Yonglin can be said to be a shotgun for a cannon.
In terms of equipment, these fifteen main armies are not inferior to any contemporary army, and they are equipped with eighteen types of weapons.
Whether it is the Southern Song Dynasty or the Jin Kingdom or the Xixia Dynasty, if you compare any army at will, Su Yonglin's main force will not fall behind in terms of equipment. Of course, it is not easy to make any epoch-making leaps in weapons these days. .
And it is not difficult to imitate and learn.
The Divine Arm Bow, originally invented by Xixia craftsmen, became a great weapon of the Song army. Later, it was mastered by the Jin people and used to deal with the Mongols. It was a series of tricks.
In terms of reserves of military supplies, a large amount of arrows, military tents, cloth, medicine, grain, bacon, carts, livestock, etc. were accumulated.
Whether it was produced by himself, captured in battles, or the proceeds from house raids, Su Yonglin stored them all in various large warehouses to be ready for use at any time to support large-scale wars.
Generals and officers of various armies frequently hold tactical seminars, pre-war mobilization meetings, etc., and everyone from generals to officers to ordinary soldiers are mentally prepared for battle.
They all know that the Jin army will move south soon, and a life-and-death battle will break out. Whether they can hold on to what they have accumulated since last year's battle depends on this battle.
Local governments and farmers' associations have also been vaccinated, allowing them to prepare not only for the upcoming autumn harvest war, but also for the general mobilization after the autumn harvest.
Su Yonglin wants to do big things, big things, so when doing things, he has money in one hand and IOUs in the other.
If the money is enough, give it to the government; if the money is not enough, give it to the government in exchange for the full support of the people with future tax revenue.
In a word, General Su has money, and General Su also has credibility. You never have to worry about losing money, and you can always trust General Su.
