    Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully in his heart, and his eyes were already shining.

    Although Lao Fang always protects his disciples from time to time, sometimes he has a bit of a mean mouth, and it is inevitable to exchange arguments with him.

    But Zhu Houzhao knew that this guy was always indispensable for his benefits at critical moments.

    "Love your soldiers like your own sonsdoesn't this put the credit on him in the end?"

    And it was so well-founded that even Zhu Houzhao felt convinced.

    Zhu Houzhao is not as coquettish as the emperor, but he still knows how to be reserved.

    He was always very happy about success. When he heard this, he felt very happy and immediately nodded: "Old Fang is right. After listening to your explanation, I understand that it is so. Sure enough, everything has a reason.  That¡¯s right, I love my soldiers as much as my sons, keep talking, keep talking.¡±

    Fang Jifan said: "Besides this, there are night classes in the army. Soldiers are organized and read at night. Wang Bo'an has always been responsible for this. Wang Bo'an has done a good job. He has worked hard this year.  , although the soldiers will not become scholars, at least they can barely read and write. Your Majesty, do you know how many people in the world can read and write? If this were placed in a small village in the countryside  , maybe a person who can read and write is a scholar in the eyes of ordinary people. If you can read, you can understand reason, know right and wrong, and what you say can convince ordinary people in the countryside. If you can write, you can repair books, and you can have a new life.  Their way of making a living is different from ordinary people. This is something that no amount of money can buy."

    Zhu Houzhao was thoughtful, then glanced at Wang Shouren and couldn't help but sigh: "Wang Qing's family has indeed achieved great results through hard work."

    "Furthermore, these soldiers come from all over the world. In the past, they only lived in a world as big as a palm. Many of them never left their villages thirty miles away in their entire lives. Why is Your Majesty so knowledgeable? This is because  Your Majesty is not only eager to learn, but also well-informed. There are countless capable people, such as Wang Bo'an, Ouyang Zhi, Xu Jing, Tang Yin, and of course, there are also people like Chen who can communicate with Your Majesty at any time.  Only then did Your Majesty know, oh, what is going on, and what the vast ocean looks like. In fact the soldiers were the same. They had no knowledge in the past, but when they arrived in the army, they communicated with the soldiers from various prefectures and counties, so  A person who had no knowledge at first absorbed knowledge from different people, and gradually accumulated knowledge and became knowledgeable."

    After a pause, Fang Jifan continued: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this kind of thing, it's just like merchants. Compared with farmers, merchants are much more knowledgeable. Is it really because farmers are born inferior to merchants? I see it's not  That's true, but because merchants need to travel all over the country and negotiate with all kinds of people, while farmers are closed in a very small place, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and the people around them are like him, so naturally  , there is a distinction between the two.¡±

    "When people have knowledge, they will inevitably think and ponder. Of course the old soldiers will return to their hometowns because they have many honors in the army. These are life-long friendships. After returning to their hometowns, they will inevitably  They will do their best to help, and their connections are far beyond ordinary people.¡±

    "All these are the reasons why I feel confident and bold to disband the First Army, because I believe that after they joined the First Army, they have become completely new and completely different from other farmers. When they arrived in the countryside,  , with their knowledge, their connections, their strong bodies and their skills in reading and writing, they are enough to quickly surpass ordinary farmers."

    Listening to Fang Jifan¡¯s analysis bit by bit, Zhu Houzhao nodded secretly.

    Liu Jian and Li Dongyang could not help but nod slightly.

    Fang Jifan said with emotion: "When Emperor Taizu Gao was here, he set up guard posts. On the surface, he used the guard posts to raise troops, but in fact, he transformed military towns into farming stations and turned military households into farmers."  , turned the guardhouse into a farm. But now I think that if you want to recruit soldiers and horses and be loyal to the country, you must not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Taizu Gao. Of course, you must not just rely on better salaries and  Rewards attract soldiers. A better way is to turn this new army into a school. No matter who they are, what their background is, or what career they have held before, as long as they are determined to join the army, then the army will  We can take pity on their bodies, teach them knowledge, and let them understand the truth. In addition to letting them serve the court, we also hope that when they return home from the army, they will become the best in all walks of life."

    "Your Majestythese prejudices against military households are certainly frozen, but your Majesty also needs to know that the common people are the most practical. You and he can preach a thousand ways and ten thousand ways.Maybe it has no effect, but once they see it and see it, and know the benefits brought by joining the army, and let them see with their own eyes the children who joined the army return home radiantly, then all their stubborn thoughts will be dispelled.  "

    School

    Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jianren heard this theory for the first time.

    And this theory is really shocking to them.

    Wang Shouren suddenly understood something. He looked at his mentor in shock

    He actually began to admire his mentor more and more. I have to say that his mentor's theory is really wonderful.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If you want to recruit more good men, and make them join the army enthusiastically, then you must make them gain something in the army.  If the army wants to gain something, it must feed and drink enough to the soldiers, train day and night, and teach them principles and knowledge with all their heart. These things complement each other, so won't this elite soldier be trained?

    Liu Jian also had a look of admiration on his face at this moment. Only now did he realize that everyone's previous thinking was wrong and wrong, but Qi Guogong directly changed his thinking. Now that he takes a closer look, he can kill two birds with one stone.

    Zhu Houzhao said with great joy: "That's right, that's right, Lao Fang This is a great contribution. Just your words alone are like a great victory. This time, the first achievement is Lao Fang. As for the second merit, I will let you  For Wang Boan, I am ranked third. I have already agreed before that I will give generous gifts to Duke Qi, Master Liu, and Master Li, what do you say?"

    Liu Jian also showed a smile at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi is extremely smart and has solved a huge problem for the court. This is nothing less than a gift from the Duke of Qi to Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty intends to give it generously, the veteran  Seconded."

    Li Dongyang also nodded: "I also second the proposal."

    It¡¯s a very practical question, it can save money, and everything can be easily discussed.

    Zhu Houzhao held his chin and said: "Since everyone agrees, let the Ministry of Rites discuss it. I have said that we must give heavy rewards and report the regulations to me as early as possible."

    Things went very smoothly today. Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. All the problems were solved.

    Sure enough, a few days later, reports from various prefectures and counties confirmed Fang Jifan's words.

    Nearly every prefecture and county has exceeded the recruitment quota, and there is no phenomenon of recruiting young men. Almost everyone is eager to be the first to be the first.  Those who were selected were all happy, while those who were not selected even cried bitterly and were miserable.

    In order to organize the troops and prepare the roads, we even found out several cases where local military officials had accepted benefits from others.

    This is an unprecedented thing. In the past, we used to recruit young people. Who would have thought that recruiting new people now can actually lead to fraud.

    People inside and outside the court were stunned.

    Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed. A few days later, he summoned Fang Jifan to see him again.

    When the two met, Zhu Houzhao winked at Fang Jifan and said, "Old Fang, the Ministry of Rites even approved several articles of incorporation, and I rejected them all. They said they would add a young master or a young master to you. Hmm, this counts.  What! These guys are generous to themselves, but they are very stingy to you. I have fought them all back. If they don¡¯t give me a satisfactory result, I will never agree, haha"

    Fang Jifan said modestly: "Everything I have is given by Your Majesty, so why do I need any reward? It's just a small contribution, it doesn't count."

    As he spoke, he waved his hand.

    Zhu Houzhao's face straightened up and he said sternly: "What are you talking about? This is a great achievement. Stop being modest."

    In fact Zhu Houzhao wished that everyone in the world knew how difficult it was to recruit soldiers. After all, the more people knew about it, the more people knew that the current emperor also made great contributions in this.

    If the emperor didn¡¯t love his soldiers as much as his sons, how could Fang Jifan be able to spread the beans and become an army?

    Therefore, although Fang Jifan was modest, Zhu Houzhao did not allow him to be modest. He said without doubt: "In the next few days, I will summon all the officials to Chongwen Hall to discuss the matter of treating the general camp as a school. Not only will we discuss it,  I also need to load it into the Di newspaper and let it be copied by all states in the world. Old Fang, Old Fang, you have helped me a lot. I look around and see that no one is more loyal and talented than you. I have thought about it  ¡­You might as well¡­give the Duke of the Kingdom to you.¡±

    The Duke of the Town

    Fang Jifan suddenly said in his heart, "F*ck!"

    Can he not be surprised?  This is the title used by the emperor.

    This is just like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who once served as General Tiance before he ascended the throne. From then on, who dares to accept the reward of General Tiance? Isn't this seeking death?

    Fang Jifan felt that there was no difference between being a prince and establishing an emperor.

    He hurriedly waved his hand again: "Your Majesty, you must not do it, you must not do it. How can I be so virtuous and capable? What kind of merit does this count for me"

    Zhu Houzhao was happy and said: "I knew you would be like this. What are you afraid of? In this world, our brothers have the final say now. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks will be punished by me first."  If I kill him, I will become the emperor, but this town has been idle. After thinking about it, you are the only one who can control it."

    On the last day of this month, Tiger asked for a monthly pass. Are you willing to give it?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Absolutely not, I have so many virtues and abilities, what kind of merit does this count for me"

    Zhu Houzhao was happy and said: "I knew you would be like this. What are you afraid of? In this world, our brothers have the final say now. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks will be punished by me first."  If I kill him, I will become the emperor, but this town has been idle.
