Chapter 7 Maple Camp

It can be imagined that in the long term in the future, the position of the supervisory commander in Xuyou Group will definitely be extremely high. Wang Shibi vaguely showed a little excited expression, but he quickly suppressed it. His palms were slightly sweating, and even his mouth and tongue felt a little dry.

The obsession with power is an innate instinct for men, which is understandable, but truly smart people will know how to control and use this obsession to achieve final success.

Wang Shibi is a smart man among smart people, so he did not get carried away. Instead, he instantly poured cold water on himself, thinking about the difficulties he was about to face and the problems he had to solve first at the moment.

"If you use me, please give me the authority to select personnel at all levels of supervisors from each army. If any soldiers or team leader I like, the military leader is not allowed to disturb you, and you must not make any intentional difficulties!"

The newly established institutions are first of all talents, but talents are popular everywhere, which creates a contradiction. Wang Shibi cannot reconcile this contradiction, so Xu You can only issue the Jun order.

"Okay!" Xu You agreed readily and said, "Military Marquis below can let you choose people at will, but remember that the Supervision Department is not a place to waste your time, so you should be very cautious in choosing candidates. You are strong, smart and transparent, and loyal. These three points are fundamental. On this basis, you can give priority to those who are literate, young, lonely, and have few nepotisms. You can understand them yourself."

Only when you are strong can you charge forward, be smart and thorough, be able to distinguish between merits and demerits, be absolutely reliable, and be able to monitor others without falling into a cage.

This is the foundation of the Supervision Department. Although other options are important, they can be overcome and replaced. Only these three points must not be let go, and they must be strictly controlled. Xu You recognized Wang Shibi's character and ability quite well. The only thing he was worried about was whether he could fully understand the functions of the Supervision Department. Don't end up becoming Xu's Sili Mansion.

It’s not that the Sili Mansion does not need it, but that is the responsibility of the Winter Solstice. The Supervision Office must become the army’s decisive needle, so that the army can initially have its own thoughts and souls, so that it can grow into what Xu You wants in iron blood and war, and allow him to have enough strength to do what he wants but may not be able to finish it in this troubled time!

"promise!"

Wang Shibi stood up, slowly bent his knees, his eyes rarely showed a sincere expression, and said, "If you let down your husband's high hopes, Shibi is willing to apologize for his death!"

"Don't say the word "death easily. I have expectations and confidence in you." Xu You helped him stand up and said, "Since ancient times, famous generals have known that rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished. They love soldiers like their sons, but famous generals do not often. Therefore, I want to use the Supervision Department to turn what famous generals can do into laws that can be enforced, so that everyone can be famous generals. You have such a heavy responsibility, let go and don't worry about anything. I will take on other things for you!"

The Supervision Department seems to have a high position, but it is actually an offensive job. The first thing that offends the chief officials at all levels, and then offends the person who is nominated and promoted but rejected by the Supervision Department is more likely to offend the soldiers who are punished by military law, but they can win the trust and love of grassroots soldiers. This is a balanced way. Although the chief officials cannot raise private soldiers and become rich, the Supervision Department cannot use authority and cannot lose their heads.

He Ru’s evaluation is so high.

Lu Bozhi was also sincerely happy for this old friend, patted his shoulder hard, and joked, "We will be given more care from the supervisor in the future."

Wang Shibi rolled his eyes and said, "From the future, I will not recognize my relatives, Brother Lu, don't get involved in friendship!"

Everyone laughed, and Xu You said to Lu Bo: "Your burden does not need to be light... Given that the farming of land has seriously affected normal training, I plan to set up a new camp in Fenghu, and all refugees except for more than 3,000 elite soldiers will be organized. They will be mainly responsible for the military farming and reclamation campaign, and prepare meals, washing clothes, sewing armor, wiping equipment, etc. for Cuiyu Camp, freeing these soldiers from the busy farming work and trivial internal affairs, and concentrate all their energy and mind to practice battlefield skills and warfare."

At that time, the imperial court awarded the Three Lakes and Two Mountains, Mingyu Mountain and Xuanshuang Mountain, respectively. The Three Lakes are Cuiyu Lake, Fenghu and Qingtang Lake. Cuiyu Lake is named because the lake water is feather-like and green like spring grass. Maple trees are planted on both sides of Fenghu Lake. Legend has it that Huangdi killed Chiyou, and his weapons were stained with blood. They were washed in this lake. The blood turned into maple trees with frost leaves redder than February flowers, and have reproduced to this day. Qingtang Lake comes from a sad love story. Qingtang also has a name called Hehuan Tree. The crown is wide and the branches and leaves are swaying, and has always been regarded as auspicious. Originally, there was never a Hehuan Tree around the lake, until a young man and woman in Qiantang were trapped by love and made an appointment to jump into the lake and die. After somehow, a single plant grew on the east bank of the lake, so it was called Qingtang Lake.

Among the three lakes, Cuiyu Lake has the largest area, followed by Qingtang Lake and Fenghu Lake is the smallest. Because Fenghu Lake is next to Xuanshuang Mountain, the terrain is flat and has the conditions for building a camp. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack according to the mountain situation, so Xu You set the new camp here.

"However, Fengying is not a place for raising labor. No matter whether it is male, female, old or young, it is enviable. You can receive one-fifth of the food and salary of Cuiyu Camp. At the same time, you must formulate teaching methods and select the brave and brave people in it to practice regularly. The intensity of the training can be reduced by a little by a little according to the Cuiyu Camp. As long as you are outstanding in the training, you can add to Cuiyu Camp and become a regular soldier, and receive five times higher food and salary and other rewards than in Fengying."

This is the reserve system envisioned by Xu You. Of course, this is not a rare invention. The Book of Zhou records that "everyone who serves a disciple is not as good as one family, and the rest is envied by the rest." This refers to the prototype of the ancient reserve system.

The so-called Xianzhang is the reserve army.

With a meager salary, he took on all the chores and had to carry out rigorous military training in addition to his work, and then gave blood to the main force. It seemed miserable, but in fact it flocked to many refugees who were unwilling to join the army, because in this way, at least he had a house to live in, had food to eat, and had money to make money. He did not have to be displaced, nor did he have to risk his life immediately to go to the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this buffer that they have lost their fear. After systematic training and brainwashing, there will always be people who want to do better, so they strive to go to the regular army. Those who are injured and disabled in the regular army or lose their combat effectiveness for various reasons can also return to the reserve army to become teachers with their experience, and can also do some chores to make use of their remaining energy.

In this way, a virtuous cycle will be formed!

From a sociological perspective, only the best system can perfectly realize the class circulation from low to high and from high to low. Otherwise, it will take a long time to trap some people in certain specific identities, such as various military households and music households, etc., and the superstructure without mobility begins to become corrupt, and the substructure begins to be dissatisfied, so society gradually becomes turbulent, and long-term cooperation will lead to separation. This is the reason.

Xu You used the method of dividing the battalions to distinguish between the soldiers and the soldiers, thus building an extremely simple class movement method in the army. In the army, he used the Supervision Office to control more refined and guided vertical flow, maintaining the vitality and creativity of the entire army.

The division of battalions means setting up a safety valve, which can not only make the best of people’s talents, but also reduce class conflicts, and also provide continuous personnel!

"The Fengying is handed over to your supervisor. There are two main points: one is the commission accumulation and the other is the training of troops. The commission accumulation needs to store food and grass, gather wealth and goods, and protect supplies. It is the top priority of military affairs. If you don't have a suitable person, I will send you one person to assist you first, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort." Xu You shouted outside the door: "Ji Qinghe!"

Ji Qinghe, who was waiting outside the door, hurried in, and stood there after saluting. Over the years, he followed the fleet and was responsible for Mingyushan's finances. He finally got a training experience. He was wearing a blue shirt, with a calm temperament, a torched gaze, a smile on his lips, and a delicate smell on his body.

Xu You pointed at him and smiled and said, "This scheming man has been with me for many years. He has only learned some basic skills in the art of compiling me. In the future, he will follow Bo Zhi and listen more. He will be a capable man in the future."

Lu Bozhi was open-minded and would not think that Xu You deliberately arranged a close friend to monitor him, but instead greeted Ji Qinghe enthusiastically. Both of them were all skilled in the business world, and they were very familiar with each other.

Xu You smiled and watched them contact each other and said, "As for the training, it is managed by Han Baoqing. You have seen him in Cuiyu Camp before. He was trained by Qi Xiao himself. I have tried him. He is a general. It is really useless to stay in Panshe Mountain for so many years."

Lu Bozhi hesitated: "Han Baoqing may not be willing to condescend..."

Xu You waved his hand and said, "Observation is the first day of the soldier! I know that Han Baoqing wants to stay in Cuiyu Camp. Maybe he wants to be a vanguard when he fights in the future, but training troops in Fengzhang is equally important. I can only be truly at ease when Han Baoqing comes. You don't have to worry about him. I will convince him that if you can figure it out, you will come even if you can't figure it out. Bozhi, what you need to consider is to coordinate the overall situation, grasp both hands, and make both hands hard, so that the entire Fengzhang becomes the bloodline and source that injects into the entire army. If the Fengzhang does not fall, the Cuiyu Camp will always be there!"

Lu Bozhi stroked the long beard casually and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my husband, although I am not Xiao He, I can turn Fengying into a small Guanzhong. I want people and food, and I have no other words!"

"Okay!" Xu You was overjoyed and said, "You are the lord of Fengying. You will first be granted the position of the lieutenant of the branch, and the same rank as Zuotong. Han Baoqing is the left commander, and Ji Qinghe is the right commander. Of course, unlike Zuotong, this is just a private delegation from us. For the convenience of daily life, there is no need to consider the formal appointment of the court. When the wind blows, how can a mere lieutenant of the school? Naturally, the water will rise and the ship will be higher, and then the position will be given. Bozhi, what are the difficulties?"

Since he joined the gang, he knew that he was doing the great cause of suppressing rebellion and would not be entangled in temporary gains and losses. Lu Bozhi immediately took the role and said, "The most urgent difficulty to be solved is that there is insufficient cattle and animal life, which consumes only manpower, and can achieve half the result with twice the effort. But all the oxen that can be purchased around Qiantang have been bought, and the others are owned by the gentry of each surname. They will not sell them, so we can't go to other people's houses to rob them?"

"This is easy!" Xu You smiled and said, "I will meet Zu Qi later, and you can solve this problem overnight!"
