Governor’s Mansion
When Xun Yuan saw Wang Yao coming back, he notified the servants to serve the dishes, and the family gathered together for dinner.
Kitchen
Everyone sat down, and Wang Qi asked: "Axing, how do you feel about staying in the military camp today?"
Wang Yao simply said: "Dad, there are still many slackers in the military camp. I have laid off some of them. There are more than 400 left. I have to ask you for a document tonight. The whole territory of Yangzhou is too big and it is not needed. I want to send it to the counties of Jiujiang to recruit warriors to form a new army."
"Okay, you write a few more copies tonight, and I will print them for you and send them to the counties tomorrow."
"Thank you, Dad."
That night, Wang Yao wrote 14 popular conscription documents and gave them to Wang Qi to stamp with the governor's seal, so that they could be distributed to the 14 counties under Jiujiang County the next day.
According to the instructions given in the military camp yesterday, the soldiers who stayed behind were given a day to rest.
Although they did not need to train on this day, they had to tidy up the camp.
Wang Yao personally led Wen Ji, Deng Dang and Qian Liu to command the soldiers to complete the renovation of the camp and handle the repatriation of the eliminated soldiers.
The messenger officials of the prefecture rode fast horses to send the conscription documents to various counties. Under Wang Qi's rule, because he had to deal with the threat of barbarians, he gave relatively good treatment to the army. Once the documents were issued, many warriors decided to apply for the conscription with the idea of supporting their families and making meritorious contributions.
Inside the big tent
Wang Yao led Wen Ji, Deng Dang and Qian Liu to discuss the subsequent conscription and training.
"At present, there are still 435 soldiers in the camp. They have been on the battlefield at least once. Although they lost the battle, they should have some experience. So they will be temporarily handed over to Zihe (Wenji) to lead the training, and Qian Liu will provide you with assistance; as for the recruitment of new soldiers, Renzai (Deng Dang) will be responsible for it. Within the number of soldiers given by the prefecture, you will train all those you find."
"Yes."
In the following period of time, Wenji and Qian Liu only need to conduct daily training for the soldiers, and Wang Yao will have to accompany Deng Dang to recruit soldiers.
The quota given above is limited, so Wang Yao can only raise the requirements and take the essence.
The land of Huainan is very suitable for a large number of soldiers, but now is not the time.
"Renzai, take some people to move some stone mills of different weights. Come and see the strength of these new recruits later, and ask if there are any literate ones. It is also very important to have culture in the army."
"Yes."
Wang Yao set up the recruitment site not far from the military camp. Those who were selected went directly to the military camp, and those who were not selected went back to their homes.
It is not too difficult to recruit hundreds of soldiers in a county, and there are many applicants.
Deng Dang is mainly responsible for testing strength, and Wang Yao is in charge of registration.
"You are too young, so thin, and you are only 12 years old and you want to join the army? Next."
"You are too old, no need."
"Measure the strength over there."
"You are too weak, so you will be eliminated."
"Good, look at the tall and strong people, go and test their strength."
"Okay, you can read, good, test your strength, just lift the smallest one."
……………………………………
The recruitment was in full swing for more than half a month, and the 565 people needed by the military camp were recruited.
Looking through the roster, there were indeed no familiar names. It was indeed too difficult to get some clear potential stocks at this point.
"Zihe, how is the training of the soldiers in the past half month?"
Wen Ji replied: "My lord, after my training, they are barely usable."
"There is no hurry yet. There has not been any war recently. However, after the autumn, the barbarians may come out to collect money. We may be able to use our skills by then. Now we have exactly 1,000 soldiers in our camp. I plan to reorganize them, with the old soldiers leading the new soldiers, and you two will command 500 people each.
You can see which low-level officers such as centurions, squad leaders, and sergeants under your command have performed well in training and can be temporarily appointed. Just submit a list to me and strive to form combat power as soon as possible before the autumn harvest."
"I obey your order."
The specific training of the soldiers can be entrusted to Wen Ji and Deng Dang.
The commander commands the generals, and the generals command the soldiers.
Wang Yao also had to devote his energy to learning how to handle government affairs and other matters. After all, his future plan was not just to be a capable and good military commander.
Shouchun·School
"Sir, please come this way." Xiang Yu, a clerk in the governor's office, took Wang Yao to an independent courtyard: "Sir, this is the school founded by the governor."
"Okay, I see. Let's go in quickly."
"Please."
There is a way for great Confucian scholars to gain fame, which is to give lectures. Many students come to study here. Even if they don't formally become his disciples, they are considered half students.
Wang Xi also has some attainments in Confucianism. When he was the governor of Yangzhou, he established this school and recruited some scholars to give lectures. He would also give public lectures every ten days.
Now, Wang Yao is back. He studied under the great Confucian Xun Shuang. It is no problem for him to give some lessons to the students here. Therefore, Wang Qi gave him a task to take time to give lessons in the school, so as to gain some reputation and maybe even gain some confidants.
Although Wang Qi's status in the Confucian circle is much worse than that of great Confucian scholars such as Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and Xun Shuang, he has the blessing of the status of governor. Whenever he gives lectures in person, the courtyard is always full.
Usually, there are ordinary scholars in the courtyard who impart simple knowledge, so there are not so many people to support him.
The children of the noble families mainly came to Wang Xi to seek opportunities to contact the governor, hoping to be noticed and then be selected as officials. They each have their own school of thought to major in;
The children of the powerful can still find someone to teach them the basic knowledge, so there is no need to come out to study. Their purpose is also to be in Wang Xi'sShow your face in front of others and see if you can get a small official with good money. After all, the powerful officials in the prefectures and counties are basically controlled by the children of the gentry;
The poor are the downtrodden gentry. They may be a little embarrassed in material terms, but their families can always keep some knowledge. If they have neither knowledge nor money, they are called commoners. They come to the school with the goal of being like Wang Xi, an official, an official, and a filial and honest official.
Therefore, most of the people who can come to the basic courses are small rich peasants with some extra money at home. With their property, it is difficult to hire a special teacher to teach at home. Now that the governor has opened a school, it might as well send their children to learn some knowledge.
As for the poor and lower-middle peasants, their children have to help work to support their families, and they have no extra energy to study in the school.
Entering the yard, a middle-aged teacher is reading the Analects with more than 20 children.
Xiang Yu wanted to interrupt and introduce Wang Yao to everyone, but was stopped by Wang Yao.
"Xiang Shuzuo, don't disturb them."
"Yes."
