Tao Ying naturally understands what Mi Fang, Sun Guan and others are worried about.

But whether it was re-registering the population or promulgating the "Recruitment Order", Tao Ying did not take it for granted and did it on a whim.

At the moment, Tao Ying needs people but no one, and money but no money. If he wants to develop and grow, some things must be done.

"We want to divide the fields on a per capita basis, and those who have not registered will not have any land to divide. We want to divide households into villages, and those who have not registered will not be given houses."

"So, registering the population is just a casual thing, there is no need to make a big show of it or take the initiative."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Tao Ying took the lead in speaking out about the registered population.

"When Jiang Taigong fishes, those who wish will take the bait."

Tao Ying never believed that the people of this era were not tempted by their fields and houses.

"Besides, in the future, under my rule, Tao Ying, there will be no head tax, only land tax and business tax."

As soon as Tao Ying came up with the idea, Mi Fang, who was not optimistic, and Sun Guan, who was slightly worried, suddenly became enlightened.

"In this way, even if we don't register the population, people will come and beg to register for the sake of fields and houses!"

Especially since the poll tax is no longer collected, those who do not register information are fools.

As for whether the imperial court would agree with Tao Ying's actions, no one was worried. After Zhang Ju's rebellion, Yellow Turban plunder, and bandits' scourge, Taishan County was now destitute of ten houses and nine empty houses. The imperial court, not to mention collecting taxes, did not provide any money for food relief.

Just secretly having fun.

"Of course, registering the population has another benefit: preventing future enemies from sneaking in."

Tao Ying raised his eyebrows, looked at everyone, and added another sentence in advance.

"That's it!"

This time, even Yan Liang, who was silent on the sidelines, understood clearly.

"I'm afraid this is the original intention of the lord to register the population information within his jurisdiction, right?"

After explaining the essence of the registered population, Tao Ying explained another sentence for the "Recruitment Order".

"The "Recruitment Order" in Taishan County all recruits people in Taishan County, but it cannot shake the foundation of the gentry outside the county."

"Besides, when we recruit talented people, we do not exclude people from the gentry. Under my rule, Tao Ying, regardless of origin, we only look at ability and merit."

Tao Ying's "advice" made the generals feel relieved, but at the same time, they also felt a sense of shame in their hearts.

"Sure enough, we have made things complicated!"

"No wonder my lord can serve as the governor of a county before he is crowned. It is no accident."

"This Tao Chongguang seems to be even smarter than his father, Tao Gongzu!"

……

When everyone with different thoughts looked at Tao Ying again, they looked different, with more admiration and less contempt.

"Lord, what should I do if there are obstacles in dividing the fields?"

Sun Kang, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but ask Tao Ying.

If he had not wanted to go down to the local government to preside over this government affairs, Sun Kang would not have done this.

"I believe that in today's Taishan County, there are no powerful or powerful people anymore."

Although he did not say clearly what the "obstruction" in Sun Kang's words was, not only Wu Dun, Yin Li, Yan Liang, etc. knew it, but Tao Ying also had a clear mind.

"Even if there are, they are internal agents of the Yellow Turban bandits and Taishan bandits. Don't be soft-hearted. They will be wiped out. All their food and property will be confiscated to develop the place."

Looking at Tao Ying's eyes that suddenly became cold and stern, Sun Kang couldn't help but feel shocked.

"My lord has sharpened his sword and is about to attack the big families in Taishan County!"

But yes, the Yellow Turbans and bandits have been wreaking havoc one after another without any losses, so that’s a bit unjustifiable.

"My lord is wise!"

Unlike Mi Fang and Sun Guan's worries, Yan Liang, who came from a poor family, loudly applauded Tao Ying's decision.

Whether it is Yan Liang or Ji Ling, they do not sympathize with the aristocratic families. They will not object to how Tao Ying wants to deal with them, as long as they have a place to use them.

"Lord, what should our newly recruited soldiers be called?"

At one time, he was registering the population, and at another, he was recruiting talents. Yan Liang was not interested in anything related to administration, and even had a headache. Now that these topics were finished, he immediately turned the conversation to the military, which he was interested in.

"Taishan Army? No. The regional characteristics are too obvious and not grand enough."

"Tiger and Ben army? Not good. Suitable for guards and bodyguards, but not suitable for the title of an army."

"Tao Jiajun? No. To be suspected of being a private militia upon hearing this is unjust to the country."

"Xuanjia Army..."

Tao Ying, who was frowning in thought, suddenly relaxed his brows, struck each other with his hands, and blurted out what was on his mind.

"Black clothes, black armor, and black flags are called the 'Xuanjia Army'!"

The reason why Tao Ying chose the name "Xuanjia Army" is because this iron army in history was invincible and invincible, and laid a splendid country for the Tang Dynasty.

It is recorded in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" that every time he fought, Li Shimin would personally wear black black armor and act as the vanguard of the iron army.

What made this "Xuanjia Army" famous in one fell swoop was the "Battle of Hulao Pass" during the Wude period.

"Haha, Li Er, I also want to experience how cool you are when you charge into battle."

In fact, what Tao Ying was thinking about was probably to get in touch with the imperial aura of Emperor Tang, so as to fulfill his desires.

"Xuanjia Army?"

Tao Yingyuluo, Yan Liang, Ji Ling, and Sun Guan were all shocked.

"During the Qin Dynasty, Zhou De's clothes, banners, and flags were all black. Does the Lord want to emulate the First Emperor's system?"

Of course, it is impossible for the three of them to know that there will be a Tang Dynasty in the future, so they will naturally push forward.

"Uh..."

After hearing what Yan Liang said, Tao Ying was stunned for a while. He didn't expect that the Qin Dynasty's army also liked black.

"Haha, so to speak, there was Emperor Qin before him and Tang Zong behind him. My choice was not wrong!"

Inexplicable excitement suddenly occupied every cell in Tao Ying's body. He seemed to have seen himself wearing a crown, standing on the top of Mount Tai, overlooking the common people in a majestic manner.

"Yes, isn't my brother in Taishan County now? Could it be that this is God's will?"

At this moment, Tao Ying doubted whether he was a puppet, being pulled and controlled by an invisible rope of fate.

"Lord..."

Discovering that Tao Ying's face was turning red and white, Sun Guan, worried that something had happened, hurriedly shouted.

"Ahem, by the way, what do you think of the name 'Xuanjia Army'?"

Tao Ying came back to his senses and coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe.

"Of course it's good. You'll be powerful and domineering, charge into battle, and the enemy will be frightened."

When he thought that he would charge into battle like Wang Jian and Zhang Han under the First Emperor, Yan Liang, with his eyes shining brightly, was naturally filled with admiration.

"Well, our newly recruited army will be called the Xuanjia Army."

Tao Ying didn't want to ask other people's opinions anymore and immediately turned the topic to military training.

"Earlier, Fu Yi and Wen Heng, I and I went to the school grounds to observe. The five thousand soldiers currently recruited in Nancheng are not strong enough to fight. The Xuanjia Army must change its training method."

It's not that Tao Ying is trying to show off, or that he wants to outdo his subordinates. In fact, the few people he has just recruited are all monks halfway, and they can be forced to fight against the enemy and go through fire and water. Training is just to catch up.

"A victorious and invincible army relies not only on equipment, but also on combat will and combat discipline. Without these two things, even if it is well-equipped, it will be impossible to defeat the opponent."

Xiaomi and rifles can defeat aircraft and cannons. There are some examples.

Ji Ling is a man who leads troops cautiously and fights bravely, so he naturally understands the truth. It can be said that it is easy to understand.

"Lord, how should I practice this?"

Tao Ying nodded toward Ji Ling, then looked at his generals with hope, and his expression became serious.
