"Remember, Your Highness." Lu Fei clasped his fists. Xiao Ming's words were definitely not aimless. He asked: "Your Highness, do you want to restore the military system of the palace?"

"It is precisely when the Dayu State was established, the system of government troops was adopted, and soldiers were integrated into agriculture. But today, the people have no land to cultivate. The system of government troops has gradually become the current recruitment system." Xiao Ming gently brushed the snow on his body, "Now the six states are in ruins, and everything should be planned for the farming. I am planning to temporarily implement the system of government troops. The soldiers of each state return to the fields when farming is busy and train troops during slack farming. This can reduce the financial pressure and accelerate the restoration of production in the six states. What do you think?"

Lu Fei pondered for a while and said, "Your Highness, it is not impossible to restore the military system of the palace. Now Your Highness is the king of the six states. Your order is the responsibility of our soldiers. However, most of the people who join the army now have no land to cultivate. If you restore the military system of the palace, the soldiers now have no land to cultivate."

Xiao Ming had already anticipated this problem and said to Lu Fei: "I have thought about this problem, so the restored government system at this time is somewhat different from the previous government system."

"Please make it clear to you."

Xiao Ming continued: "People with fields can naturally return to their hometowns to farm. If soldiers without fields can cultivate official fields, in this way, all the food harvested from official fields can be used as military supplies. What do you think?"

Lu Fei laughed in silence and had been having fun for a long time. Xiao Ming was thinking of letting the Qingzhou army farm for him. He had always been upright and said bluntly: "Hmph, I am really considering the people of the fiefdom. It turns out that it is for his own land."

Xiao Ming was not angry. No matter who it seems, Xiao Ming is doing for himself.

He laughed, "If the Captain Lu sees me like this, it would be a big mistake. Not only will I not take a single point of my land, but the harvest in the land will also be handed over to the kufu. As you said, the fiefs are mine. Will I care about these gains and losses? In my opinion, if the people are rich, the fiefs are rich. If the people are strong, the fiefs are strong. If you don't believe it, I can make a name for me to hand them over to Pang Changshi. How about it?"

Lu Fei was stunned. None of the royal family and wealthy families were accruing money for themselves. Now Xiao Ming actually wanted to confiscate his own land, which was simply the first time.

"Your Highness, do you really do it?" Lu Fei asked again.

"Yes, a gentleman speaks and whip it with a horse." Xiao Ming looked directly at Lu Fei. This thorn is not easy to deal with. "The only thing I worry about is that the soldiers will not believe me, so you need to come forward to carry out this matter."

He nodded slowly, and Lu Fei said, "I will believe in Your Highness again. If Your Highness fulfills his promise, Lu Fei will be willing to serve Your Highness to the death, because Your Highness is a wise lord. If Your Highness goes back on his word, Lu Fei can only take his soldiers to find another place."

"I don't want to have a group of thieves you lead on the fiefdom." Xiao Ming said lightly. Lu Fei has a great prestige in the army. This sentence is not bragging. If he really becomes a bandit, there will definitely be a large number of soldiers following him.

"Since that's the case, I will persuade the soldiers." Lu Fei nodded heavily.

The snow was getting heavier, and the road was no longer visible from dozens of meters away. Now the location of the land is clear, and the plan to transform the army into a production corps was also supported by Lu Fei.

This was a very important step for him. The recruitment system made the army a major financial consumer.

Financial difficulties and unable to raise troops, this is also the reason why one million households have less than 5,000 troops in the fiefdom. The number of people and the equipment is extremely poor. This is the army under his command, and it is no different from a group of bandits.

In this situation of poverty and neglect, we must implement the military model of building a production corps to reduce the military's financial consumption.

In fact, this model of construction and production corps is to garrison troops. This model will appear in every era of scarcity of materials.

On the way back, Xiao Ming continued to instill the essence of the Production and Construction Corps into Lu Fei. He prepared to divide the army into two parts, one production corps and the other construction corps. The Production Corps is responsible for military garrisons and border guards.

The Construction Corps is responsible for mining, roads and river dam construction.

Lu Fei was a rough man and had only a little understanding of the previous military system. After Xiao Ming told him the necessity of building a production corps in detail, he suddenly realized.

"Your Highness, Lu Fei knew he was wrong. It turned out that Your Highness had worked hard. Since that is the case, we can now announce the recruitment of soldiers and expand the 5,000 people to a normal number of 50,000 people." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, but we can't expand so many people at once. Our food is now unaffordable. In this way, we will first recruit 5,000 people, and then continue to expand until the official land is harvested?"

"I have ignored this." Lu Fei patted his head and smiled heartily, "But His Highness promised that the sergeant who built the Production Corps would be able to get ten acres of fertile land each person, which would be inherited from generation to generation. I guess the people who want to join the army would squeeze out the Governor's Mansion."

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming also laughed. This is a benefit of the new policy, and it is also to promote the people to join the army actively. "I don't care about this matter. Let you, Lu Laohu, do it yourself."

Lu Fei was stunned for a moment and smiled silly. This Lu Tiger was his nickname in the army. At this time, Xiao Ming called out, and he immediately felt that he was closer to Xiao Ming.

Over the past month, Xiao Ming deeply realized that it is not easy to be a vassal king. He must know how to use carrots and sticks. He must also be both archery and horses. He can not only comfort his subordinates, but also suppress the place.

Now he can be said to be full-time and all-round.

Under the heavy snow, a group of more than thirty riders headed towards Qingzhou City.

Halfway through the road, suddenly a hazy figure of people appeared not far away, and the people were galloping towards them.

"Who, stop!" Lu Fei suddenly yelled. The last assassination incident made him still very sensitive.

He couldn't see the face clearly in the heavy snow, so he had to beware of accidents.

In an instant, more than 30 riders accompanied him protected Xiao Ming in the middle in a ring shape, bent his bow and arrows on his horse, ready to shoot at any time.

The pedestrians did not seem to hear Lu Fei's scolding and still rushed over from behind. Seeing that the pedestrian was getting closer, Lu Fei raised his hand and ordered the arrow to be fired.

At this moment, someone from the pedestrian suddenly shouted: "Butler Qian, you have to hold on!"

"Wait, it's Qian Dafu." Xiao Ming immediately asked the soldiers to put down their bows and arrows. Sure enough, the group came closer, and it was Qian Dafu and others who went out to find the mine.
