Yang Kai appeared and he handed a list to Zhou Qing. This is today's letter of envoyment, with a total of 43. Sorry, there are only one left in Class A and five left in B. The others are all Class C letters that others are unwilling to accept. You choose it yourself, and I will not interfere. Once you choose it, you cannot change it.

Zhou Qing stared at the A-level task with a cold look. After watching for a long time, he nodded without hesitation, "I will take this task."

"You are sure that no one dares to take on this task, and it requires a high level of martial arts."

Zhou Qing said coldly: "No one dared to compete with me in Jingdong Road Xiangjun. The imperial guard Linghu Jin army is worse than me, but his martial arts skills are not as good as me!"

Yang Kai stared at him coldly and said, "I said it's not martial arts, it's courage!"

Zhou Qing smiled miserably, "I'm not afraid of death, what else can I be afraid of?"

Yang Kai nodded, "If it succeeds, I recommend you as the general, or reward you with 100,000 taels of gold."

"Let's talk about it when I succeed!"

Zhou Qing stood up and left. Yang Kai looked at his back and said lightly to Wang Que who was standing in the inner room eavesdropping: "You are responsible for keeping a close eye on him. Once his mission is completed, you are responsible for killing him. Don't miss it!"

"Abide by the orders!"

Wang Queshi went out with a bow. Yang Kai took a few steps with his hands on his back and said to himself: "The victory or defeat is here."

At this time, the reform of Jingdong Road also reached the third ring, and the system of generals and soldiers was established. The characteristic of the Song Dynasty's army was that war and training were separated. Once a war broke out, troops were drawn from the imperial guards and the local wing troops, and all the normal troops were broken up and reorganized. The generals in the army were re-appointed, and the commander was also a civil servant.

Although doing this can prevent separatist vassals in various places, the consequences are also very serious, resulting in the generals not knowing their soldiers, the soldiers not knowing their generals, and the war is in chaos.

The general's military strategy is to combine daily training and war. The soldiers and generals are the same when training, which means that one commander commander commander commands the same army for a long time.

Of course, in order to prevent the army from becoming a general's private army, the commander also has a term of office. Fanning advocates serving one term every five years. This is when passing the annual assessment. If the consideration is not qualified, it can be replaced at any time.

The art of war is actually one of the contents of Wang Anshi's reform, but Fan Ning piloted it in advance.

The general military strategy is mainly aimed at the imperial guards. The wing army is based on the territory, but it has actually been separated. Each battalion is independent. It is enough to not split it up when fighting. The imperial guards are not. The imperial guards have more than 100,000 people mixed in a large battalion, which is usually more chaotic and also chaotic during wars.

Therefore, Fanning's implementation of military tactics in the Jingdong Road Army actually did not change much. He changed the soup and did not change the medicine, but changed the name, mainly to build a benchmark for the future reform of the imperial guards.

This step of reform is very simple, but it is difficult to promote the separation of people and salary system implemented together with the art of military affairs.

The separation system of people and salary is a key point of this reform. It was specially named by Emperor Zhao Zhen, who requested the implementation. Zhao Zhen was very interested in this plan.

The key to the separation of people and salary system is to set up shops and staff. First of all, choose a supporting money shop. Zhao Zhongzhen chose the Zhu money shop. Emperor Zhao Zhen also specifically approved this, which can be regarded as a solution to Fan Ning's worries and prevent anyone from using this matter to Fan Ning for personal gain.

Another key to the separation of people's salary is the fixed number of personnel. Only by stabilizing the garrison and number of military camps before they can be implemented. With the reduction of over-age soldiers, the original nine military camps have been reduced to six, located in Yingtian Prefecture, Guide Prefecture, Xuzhou, Yunzhou, Qingzhou and Laizhou. Among them, Yingtian Prefecture has 5,000 people, and the other five places have 3,000 people.

In addition, the general's review has been completed, everything is done, and only the east wind is needed. The reform of separation of people and salary has also begun to enter the substantive implementation stage.

Yunzhou is also a big prefecture on Jingdong Road. At noon that day, Fan Ning arrived at Yun County with more than a dozen followers. Yun County belongs to Shang County. There are 4,000 households and about 20,000 people in the city. The county is also quite prosperous. The main road is called Shanglin Street. It is about eight miles long from south to north. There are many shops along the street, large and small. Various signs are dazzling, with hawking and guests coming one after another. There are crowds of people on the street, with ox carts and donkey carts coming one after another.

"Encourt, that's where!" Zhu Hu pointed to a large building in front of him. He had been to Yunzhou before and knew where the newly established money was.

Fan Ning nodded and looked from a distance and found that the money shop covers a large area, with as many as five or six acres, and it looks like a small temple.

When I walked to the store, I saw a huge golden signboard hanging above the store: Zhu's money shop, with three small characters underneath, Yunzhou shop. This character was written by Emperor Zhao Zhen. It was written by Zhao Zhen three years ago. The three characters Yunzhou shop were also written by Zhao Zhen not long ago, which also expressed Zhao Zhen's support for the separation of people's salary system.

This is the first shop in Yunzhou where the name of the store was written by the emperor. It caused a sensation in Yun County. There is also a money shop opposite it, Yunzhou money shop. His store name is just written by his former magistrate. In comparison, it seems very shabby.

However, the Zhu family store seems to have not opened yet. At the door, more than a dozen craftsmen are installing Huanlou. Fan Ning turned over and got off the horse. The shopkeeper at the door smiled and said, "Master, this store will open three days later. I beg you to come here three days later. The shop will sweep the bed to welcome you."

Fan Ning was about to ask, but saw that the shopkeeper Liu from the capital walked out of the store. He saw Fan Ning at first sight and was surprised and happy, "The owner is here!"

The shopkeeper was so scared that he knew who this person was when he heard the word "Official" and the magistrate Yingtian, and he bowed and bowed, "I don't know, please forgive me!"

Fanning smiled and nodded, "Please arrange for my subordinates to have a rest and have dinner."

"I'll make arrangements now!"

The shopkeeper quickly invited Zhu Hu and others to go to the backyard to have a rest, while Manager Liu invited Fan Ning into the store.

Fanning looked at it and found that like Beijing, there was a lobby with rest benches on both sides. There were long counters directly opposite. The lobby was very spacious and bright. Cabinets and other items had been installed, and various wooden blocks and other facilities had been arranged. More than a dozen accountants were sitting at the table and busy registering thick books.

The reason why Fan Ning came to Yunzhou was because Yingtianfu and Yunzhou took the lead in implementing the salary payment of money shops next month. The trial period was three months. After three months, other prefectures would implement it in full. The main reason was that money shops needed time to open shops.

"Have you been in contact with the military camp?" Fan Ning asked with a smile.

"The day before yesterday, the military camp's households sent a personnel list. We have checked the list with the previous ones sent by Yingtian Mansion. The list is completely consistent. From today on, we will build an account for every soldier and general."

Fan Ning stood beside him and looked at it. It was very simple to build an account. Each soldier had a page account, with the soldier's name and hometown written on the top, and his account number was written next to it. Fan Ning saw that the number one was Yun Jun No. 001, Zhang Gui, and Yunzhou Dong'a County.

Zhang Gui is the commander of the Yunzhou Xiangjun, so he is naturally the number one.

Manager Liu Da explained next to him: "Our big customers who save more than 1,000 guan will generally be Yun Jia, and the number of customers who save 300 to 1,000 guan is Yun Yi, and the number of people below 300 guan is Yun Bing. However, the army is quite special, so the number of people who save more than 1,000 guan will be Yun Jun. If the soldier continues to save money from us after retirement, we will change him to an ordinary guest."

Fanning knew that this was the account number, so he asked again: "Will you give the sign?"

"There is a sign, each person has a bronze medal, and the name and account number are engraved on the bronze medal. In addition, each soldier will have a password, which can be modified by himself. In the future, the money will be withdrawn with the bronze medal and the commander. In addition, the signs of the commander and commander are silver medals."

Fan Ning smiled and said, "In the future, the tutor's office will directly allocate the money to the Yingtianfu General Store, and then the main store will notify the branches of each state below. There should be no problem with this process!"

"No problem, I have negotiated with Deputy Envoy Lu and the Army of Hu Cao. In addition, if an emergency occurs, we can provide up to two months of military salary."

Fan Ning came to the back hall again and sat down. The tea boy served him tea. He took a sip of tea and asked again: "What is the biggest problem I have encountered when opening stores everywhere at present?"

"Of course it's insufficient staff!"

Manager Liu Da smiled bitterly and said, "In the past, we had to prepare for at least one year, appoint shopkeepers, recruit accountants, and then conduct training. Only after being proficient in this, rent a house and open a shop. Now there is no problem with renting a house, but the recruitment of shopkeepers and shopkeepers is difficult. We usually send the shopkeepers out, and the shopkeepers recruit the shopkeepers locally. Each shop includes the chief and deputy shopkeepers, and there are twenty people in total."

"Like Yunzhou store, you have completed it in just one month of preparation, and the progress is still quite fast!"

"The shopkeeper of this shop is an old accountant in our capital. He worked in the Zhu family money shop in the capital for ten years and could be trusted. Then he recruited a deputy shopkeeper locally. As for the accountant, we dug up from various local money shops in Yunzhou. The local monthly salary is four guan, and we pay six guan, and we also manage a lunch. So the staff was quickly allocated. Other places also plan to do this. Although it is easy to offend people, there is no way."

"How is the rent?" Fanning asked with a smile.

"Of course, the rent cannot be compared with the capital, and it is even much cheaper than Yingtianfu. For example, this six-acre store has a monthly rent of 80 guan in the capital, while Yingtiangu is 40 guan, while here is only 15 guan per month, which is similar in other places. Xuzhou is a little expensive, but it is only 20 guan."

Fanning nodded, "Can other states open on time?"

"There are basically no problems. Four stores have been rented, and the shopkeeper and deputy shopkeeper are in place. Then the accountant in Laizhou will be recruited in the next few days. Next, Yingtianfu will be trained for two months and will open on time in three months."

"What about risk prevention?" This is also a question that Fanning is very concerned about.

"Please rest assured that Zhu's money shop has been established for almost forty years, and there has not been a risk problem yet. We have very strict management. For example, each store will not save too much money. If there are large amounts of money withdrawals, we must make an appointment five days in advance. We send the money from Yingtian's vault. In addition, the account manager and the person who manages the money are separated. In addition, we have a verification team and take turns to check the accounts at each branch. Each store must check at least once a year."
