Moreover, here on Lingnan Road, not only the mountain people, but also ordinary people are attracted by His Highness. For example, His Highness first lends money to the people for free for their use, and then slowly returns them. .
Just ask, who has seen His Highness like this in all dynasties?
Feng An himself knew very well that he originally had 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers. Although they were soldiers belonging to the Tang Dynasty according to the Tang Dynasty's military system, in fact his personal influence was very great, but now ...Feng An believed that if His Highness said a word, it would be much more effective than him.
If Feng An led these soldiers to rebel before, these soldiers might listen to him, but now that he dares to say rebellion, I am afraid that he will be punished backhand. This is the biggest difference.
His Highness seems to have done nothing and seems to be absent, but the public sentiment data of Lingnan Road is constantly rising. This can be seen from the increasing number of longevity tablets of His Highness King Qin in every household, and not just ordinary people. , even the fishermen who went to sea began to worship His Highness the King of Qin.
Because the navy trained by His Highness King Qin saved many fishermen back from the sea.
Feng Ang and others know the changes in Lingnan Road best, so now they can only follow His Highness down, disobey? nonexistent.
However, both Feng An and Li Ke ignored the importance of one thing to the people's hearts, and that was the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual". It is no exaggeration to say that the knowledge accumulated by later generations based on three thousand years of traditional Chinese medicine is reflected in the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" incisively and vividly.
This brings more than just treating minor illnesses. From Li Ke's perspective, he came from later generations and may not feel how powerful this book is. He feels that it only treats minor illnesses.
But in fact, in ancient times, minor illnesses could be fatal, and the number of people this book could save far exceeded Li Ke's imagination. The focus is on the information about childbirth and infant care in the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" The knowledge in this field... allowed Datang's population to grow explosively.
The infant mortality rate in ancient times was too high, and the knowledge about midwifery, infant care and diseases in the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" increased the infant survival rate in the Tang Dynasty by countless times. This is what makes everyone happy. Not expected.
This book, which was ridiculed in later generations as one of the three sacred books for time travellers, has quietly bloomed its brightest light in the Tang Dynasty. After all, in ancient times, population was the greatest wealth.
Li Ke actually ignored these.
Chang'an, with the new issue of "Datang Weekly" being released in Chang'an, the sales figures of this issue of "Datang Weekly" have also reached a new peak, because this issue of "Datang Weekly" records about The reform plan of the Tang Dynasty's army, as well as the new reform plan of splitting three provinces and six ministries.
What attracts the most attention to the people all over the world is the change of the Fubing system. The Fubing system is a special system in a special period. The basis of the Fubing system is the equalization of land. The reason why everyone in the world can serve as a soldier and carry their own weapons, food, and bows and arrows is because each of their households has a hundred acres of land, which can support them in carrying the food and preparing bows and arrows.
But will the current changes to the military system change the land equalization system? For the common people, fields are the most important thing to them. In other words, from ancient times to the present, things like fields are deeply rooted in the bones of every Chinese person.
More than a thousand years later, as long as there are some farming elements, there are not too many domestic players who can play it into a farming construction game. Like Sons of the Forest, a horror game has suddenly turned into a farming construction game. Can you believe this?
The things reported in the new issue of "Datang Weekly" are closely related to these, so many people who know a few words but have not read a book and are unwilling to buy a newspaper have paid to buy a newspaper today.
They are eager to know this news. Chang'an City has a population of close to one million, and many people want to know this.
After reading it, the people were instantly relieved. Not only were they relieved, many people cheered directly. His Highness the King of Qin was indeed His Highness the King of Qin. According to the newspaper, His Highness the King of Qin proposed that the military system of the Tang Dynasty be changed to The compulsory military service system, starting from today, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is obliged to join the army and serve the country.
It seems to be very similar to the previous military service system, but the biggest difference is that the current compulsory military service system is subsidized by military pay. When you first join the army, each person will receive 150 yuan of military pay per month. According to the current food prices, this month The military pay can buy more than one stone of food, enough to feed a family.
One person can feed his family by joining the army, and whether others go to work or farm, they can save the extra food.
Moreover, it only takes three years to sign up to join the army. If you become a non-commissioned officer after three years, your military salary will continue to increase. Especially in this non-commissioned officer system, if they have been in the army for more than ten years, the salary of these non-commissioned officers will be much higher than that of some county officials!
Isn't this exciting? It’s definitely exciting! In the past, if you served as a soldier for many years, even if you performed meritorious service, you would still be a top soldier. Although there were rewards for meritorious service, the rewards were not much. It is still possible to become an officer, such as a captain, but it is impossible to become a lieutenant at a higher level. Those lieutenants almost all have a certain background.
This means that His Highness has opened a path for advancement for all ordinary people in the world.
And being a soldier is more tempting to ordinary people than before. Although being a soldier will be risky, for the people of this era, everything is risky. In the year of disaster, there is a risk of starving to death at home. .
As for the reform of the court system in the three provinces and six ministries, the people don't care because it has nothing to do with them. They only care about things that are closely related to them.
May 1, the 21st year of the Gregorian calendar of the Tang Dynasty, this day was officially named the Army Founding Day of the Tang Dynasty, because from this day on, the new army reform of the Tang Dynasty officially began, and all the soldiers in the country were officially converted to compulsory duty from this day on. Those who are under the military service system and want to return home to retire can officially apply to the local military, and after approval, they will be officially discharged.
Similarly, if you do not want to retire and want to officially become a professional soldier, you must apply to the military department where you are located in advance. In addition, each state has officially opened recruitment points to the private sector.
The reason why the reform plan was proposed at the end of March and the time was chosen on May 1st was because during this more than a month, the military training instructors sent out from near Chang'an went to various Daozhou counties in Datang. After all, the recruitment New recruits are required to undergo three months of recruit training.
The reform of the army near Chang'an City also officially started on May 1, but the advance preparations were actually completed before May Day, such as related registration work and so on.
