Gao Xunqi's head was taken to the surrounding villages and villages to spread it, and finally placed it on the beam on the top of the Beima Town Pavilion where bandits were rampant, and was packed in a pottery jar to warn those who followed the bandits.

This trick really worked. The landlords around him who didn't want to sell the land had ended up seeing Gao Xunqi's fate. When Zhao Quan came to sell the land again, some sold the land that could not be planted with grain on his hands, while others agreed to rent it to the Zhao family, but the rent was very low.

The Zhao family’s meaning is self-evident. If you don’t sell the land, you will be waiting to be troubled by the Zhao family. The Gao family is a bully around, but the Zhao family will be killed in the name of bandits. Naturally, everyone is worried.

But some people applauded, after all, Gao Xunqi did a lot of bad things in his daily life.

As for the government, I was also shocked after hearing that Gao Xunqi, a juren from this county, was slaughtered, but there was no follow-up...

The county magistrate of the Gao family naturally knew that the Zhao family could take over the Gao family, so naturally there were many servants.

What is the official picture? Of course, he is getting rich. What does Gao Xunqi have to do with him? If he pursues the Zhao family, it will be troublesome if there is any monster. People have not earned back the money they bought for the official!

After large-scale land enclosure, Zhao Yan didn't have much money left, only 40,000 taels of money left. The land controlled by him, plus those unowned land or unreclaimed land, is estimated to reach 110,000 mu.

The mountain ranges in the southern part of Huang County are distributed in a V-shaped shape, and there is also an intermittent mountain top undulating in the middle. Zhaojia Village is located in the middle of the V-shaped character. It has expanded to the bottom of the V-shaped character to the south, expanded to the northeast to Lutou Town, and to the northwest to Beima Town.

Within this range, there are many villages with reading power. Although many of them are dilapidated, they are still crowded, but the situation is not very good.

There are no plowing oxen, no seeds, or even no food. Zhao Yan asked someone to contact these villages, and those who can help them. After all, it is very beneficial to help them resume production so close that it can be of great benefit. At least the food can be increased, and there will be no food to starve to death.

After receiving the kindness of the Zhao family, the villages were overjoyed. The gentry sent people to the Zhao family to borrow cattle and seeds, and even made excuses for food. Although they did not need interest, they still had to pay back their things because they were reading outside the Zhao family.

After Zhao Yan made the longbow, he did not define the longbow as a program that the servants must train, but only allowed them to practice by themselves when they had time.

After all, these servants are now spearmen and they are not required to be able to shoot the bow.

Although the servants were not required to practice archery, Zhao Yan asked the young and strong men in the village to practice archery diligently. Each of the three forts was equipped with a longbow workshop, which provided each of the young and strong men under him with a longbow, and provided enough arrows for the young and strong men to train.

There were no firearms during the Tang and Song dynasties, but the Tang Dynasty reached the peak of the Chinese nation. Although the Song Dynasty suffered consecutive defeats, it could barely resist the nomadic peoples. No dynasty had never been so unscrupulously that the nomadic peoples were plundered by the nomadic peoples in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's firearms were widely used, and almost all the government troops had firearms. But it is undeniable that the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty had been surpassed by the West. At the same time, most of the firearms in the Ming army cut corners and were made in a shoddy manner, and they could not pose any threat to the Qing Qing soldiers wearing cotton armor.

Although the prospects for firearms are promising, the crossbows cannot be left behind. After all, firearms in this era are not very reliable, and the development of crossbows is the safest.

If you want to form an elite longbow army, you must have a large population to practice archery for a long time. In the short term, Zhao Yan will not be able to form an elite longbow army, but you can take it slowly. It will not last for two years, two years but three years but four years...

As long as each young and strong recruited practices archery diligently, as more and more refugees are recruited, more and more longbow soldiers will be provided to him in the future.

What he wants is that the whole people are soldiers, and the whole people are elite soldiers. With the huge Han population, if they can't kill the Qing Tartars, they will also hurt him.

...

The thirty villages gathered in Zhaojiabao. Zhao Yan gave each of them a longbow and began to teach them how to train longbow soldiers.

In the battle, the longbow soldiers only need to shoot a "barrot" or shoot a "rain of arrows", so the training items of the longbow soldiers are the accuracy of the flat shooting and the distance of the shooting.

Flat shooting is relatively simple. Just keep practicing and constantly shooting fixed targets and mobile targets.

The projectile depends on the angle and strength. In order to facilitate training, Zhao Yan divided the projectile distance into ten levels, with each level being thirty meters apart. As long as you practice the distance of these ten levels clearly, it will be convenient for command in the future.

The way of drawing a longbow is different from that of a compound bow. The longbow is made by five fingers. This makes it not very accustomed to the practice of using the various troupes, but you must also get used to it if you are not used to it.

"When you return to the garrison, you must train the village heroes carefully. I will assess the village heroes every three months. The assessment items are queues, guns and archery. Each of the top ten is rewarded with five taels of silver and given to flags. Each of the top three is rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the first is rewarded with fifteen taels of silver, and the last five is fined with three taels of silver, and then go and pick three taels of manure for three days." Zhao Yan once again used the sugar-coated cannon to increase the policy of sticks. If you practice well, you will be rewarded and fined if you cannot practice well. Then use the flags commonly used in later schools to enhance the sense of honor of the winners. Those at the bottom are asked to pick up feces, hoping that they can know their shame before they can be brave.

Choose one of heaven and hell. As long as you are not a fool, you will choose heaven. If you are a fool, don’t do it.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Yan asked.

"I understand."

"Okay, disband." Zhao Yan nodded.

The groups of the villages returned to the village and brought a batch of newly made longbows and arrows.

But a few days later, opposition voices appeared. Zhang Buyun, who was the governor of a village under Zhaojiabao, ran back directly and protested to Zhao Yan about his reward and punishment system.

"Your idea is naturally very good. Diligent training of the village heroes can indeed better protect the country and the people. But have you ever thought that the group training in each town is so active now, but it affects farming. As the town leaders, we cannot manage them. There should be an appropriate measure between farming and training of the village heroes. In addition, the village heroes in each town complain, and some village heroes even want to leave." Although Zhang Buyun's tone was not very heavy, the protest was very obvious.

"This... I was neglected." Zhao Yan was slightly stunned and said ashamed. He really ignored this issue.

Farmers need to farm and train. If the person responsible for organizing training is more anxious, they will naturally conflict with production.

Zhao Yan's policy of being a soldier in the whole country was similar to the Tang Dynasty's government system. The great glory of the Tang Dynasty was largely created by the government soldiers. In the late Tang Dynasty, the land annexation led to the corruption of the government soldiers, and the corruption of the government soldiers led to warlord rebellion. At the same time, the land annexation also caused the Huang Chao Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty.

"What good advice do Wenlong have?" Zhao Yan asked.

"First of all, specific rules must be set. Training in the busy farming period shall not interfere with production. Training in the slack farming period shall be trained by the group training in the township. There will inevitably be conflicts between the group training and the town leader, and the town leader and the team leader must coordinate with each other so that they can work together and serve the public together." Zhang Buyun said.

Zhao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Then set the specific time for slack farming training, and stipulate that the township heroes must participate in training during the period. The township heroes may not report on the rest of the busy farming or vacation periods."

"If the township hero ranks in the top ten during the assessment, the treasury chief will be rewarded with one tael of silver, the top three will be rewarded with two taels of silver, and the first will be rewarded with five taels of silver, but the treasury chief will not delay production. The promotion of the treasury chief must be measured according to various production indicators and group training conditions."

"In addition, young and strong people participate in training, and subsidize a dou of rice and wheat every month, and give one tael of silver at the end of the year. If you can get gun skills every three months, you will be in the top 1,000, reward one tael of silver, get one tael of silver, get the top 100, reward two taels of silver, and give five taels of silver to the top ten."

Zhang Buyun carefully understood the meaning and influence, and stipulated that the training time was to draw a boundary between the Tunchang and the group training.

The assessment of the township coach is linked to the interests of the group leader, so that the town leader can squeeze out some time to train the group to train the township coach during the busy farming period, so that the two sides who were originally conflicting have common interests. If the production is delayed, they cannot be promoted. If the relationship with the group training is not handled well and the assessment of the township coach is at the bottom, they cannot be promoted.

The village hero subsidized a dou of rice and wheat every month and one tael of silver at the end of the year, which could dispel the village hero's resentment. If the assessment achieved good results and received a reward of silver, it would improve the village hero's active surname. Although the wool came from the sheep, Zhang Buyun was still surprised by the generous treatment.

The Zhao family is simply preparing for war.
