Pei Min met Yuan Luqian in the mansion. He did not choose to be in the office, but in the living room in the backyard, and even called Yan Gaoqing.

The three of them had enough wine and food, and they talked about official duties while eating and drinking, while continuing their brotherly relationship.

Yuan Luqian and Yan Gaoqing were the first friends Pei Min met when he came to this era. Although they did not kowtow and become sworn brothers like Liu Guan and Zhang, their relationship between them was not much inferior to Liu Guan and Zhang.

Yuan Luqian first reported on the situation of the Hexi Army.

"Compared with the appearance of the Hexi Army before, the current Hexi Army is completely different. The combat effectiveness is difficult to evaluate. After all, it has not been long and the spirit has changed a lot. Just like the words that Brother Pei often said, "Soldiers should look like soldiers." Now most of them have the appearance of soldiers."

As the commander of the Jiedushi, Yuan Luqian's task is to serve as Pei Min's eyes, inspect all the military and horses in Hexi, and monitor whether the generals and school officials from all sides are fulfilling their duties.

"Thank you for your hard work. As long as you look like a soldier, you will not worry about not being able to fight."

Pei Min's current military level has made great progress after years of practical combat and the influence of Li Jing, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian.

Perhaps for others, training troops is not easy. But now Pei Min is a matter of being able to win.

To put it bluntly, the key to training is to add carrots and sticks, and use incentive policies that coexist with rewards and punishments to develop good habits.

Strict military laws are big sticks, and generous rewards are carrots. The competition system for eliminating the advantages and disadvantages has formed a strong military system.

Although working under Pei Min will be subject to strict military laws, the benefits are beyond doubt.

Pei Min's influence in the court is far greater than that of other side commanders, and changing military equipment is just a letter.

Military pay?

Not to mention that the court is booming now, it is not short of money, even if it is short of money, the Ministry of Revenue will not dare to delay it.

With the best clothing and equipment, the military pay is regularly released, and there is no deduction. The quality of the food in the army is excellent, and there is broth for the meals. You can also eat various stewed meat every now and then.

In short, under Pei Min's command, you can eat well, sleep well, wear well, and you can also exempt your family from taxes and allow your family to live a comfortable life. Such good things will make you laugh when you dream.

What else can I say when serving in such an army?

The only thing I worry about is the fear of being expelled.

Because Pei Min adopted the points system of later generations, each soldier had points that accompanied them, and he would add points for outstanding performance, and he would deduct points for mistakes. If he deducted a certain score, he would be expelled from the military camp.

Once expelled from the military camp, all the benefits were gone.

Driven by this kind of interest, all soldiers consciously abide by all military rules and actively participate in training.

This kind of self-consciousness will develop a habit over time, thereby changing a person's character and style.

This is the horror of habits.

A person who has been a soldier for three years or a person who has never been a soldier can usually be seen at a glance.

Even if you leave the army, the temperament you develop with habits is difficult to eliminate.

This point system also has another advantage, giving ambition soldiers a chance. They will be full of energy in order to compete for higher points, and will be more likely to enter the eyes of their superiors and be more likely to be promoted.

Of course, no matter how good the system is, it requires excellent generals and officials to implement it.

This depends on the level and strength of the three governors, Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong, Cui Xiyi, and many military envoys.

It is also the key to Yuan Luqian's responsibility.

During his first inspection and supervision, Yuan Luqian took two military envoys and four deputy envoys for him, which made the Hexi army afraid of him like a tiger and called him the Black-faced envoy.

In order to prevent this black-faced envoy, many military envoys who did not understand him wanted to find out his rules and make preparations in advance.

But I didn't expect that Yuan Luqian's inspection and supervision were not determined and there was no trace at all.

Only Pei Min and Yan Gaoqing knew that Yuan Luqian's inspection and supervision route was entirely based on the will of heaven. He himself didn't know where he would be next. He relied on throwing copper coins to determine the direction, and then decided on the front and back whether to investigate openly or secretly.

Once, Zhehuchen was really lucky and took care of Yuan Luqian three times in a row, which made Zhehuchen, a famous tiger general in Liangzhou, even suspected that he had offended the black-faced envoy somewhere and wanted to ask for a drink to apologize.

In short, facing the elusive Yuan Luqian, even the three governors Feng Changqing, Zhang Xiaosong and Cui Xiyi did not dare to be careless, let alone other military envoys.

Under this reasonable and effective system, the Hexi Army has gradually faded its original shadow after more than half a year of development.

Yuan Luqian drank the wine in his glass and said, "It's not hard to work for the country. It is a blessing for us to show our strengths in a suitable position."

Pei Min said, "This is true, but the so-called "If you don't clean a house, how can you clean up the world? Don't let your own affairs be taken down. Xia Jun Envoy is really good. What do you think? My mother has said it several times. As long as Brother Yuan is willing, she will be a matchmaker for you."

Yuan Luqian blushed in one sentence.

Yan Gaoqing also joined in the fun and said, "Jingyuan specially introduced Xia Jun Envoy to Brother Wei, which is really good. The other girl's family is so open-minded. What's the shame of you, a big man?"

Yuan Luqian had no choice but to tell the truth: "Actually, I think Miss Xia is good, but I am worried that the future children will not be able to take care of her. She is destined to not take care of her husband and children like her sister-in-law. My parents are not alive, and Miss Xia is also alone. Who will take care of the children in the future? If one of her parents and I were alive and could help us take care of the children, this marriage would have been done. I can't do to myself, let alone to her! Don't do to others what I don't want..."

Pei Min was stunned for a moment and finally understood the problem.

No wonder Yuan Luqian is a man of great manhood. The ancients were influenced by the times, let alone marriage was a lifelong event for two people.

Reality is often not so friendly.

Yuan Luqian's considerations are so thorough that he seems to be a man's responsibility.

After a pause, Pei Min smiled and said, "Actually, this problem is easy to deal with. You have children. In the first year, Xia Shan will definitely retire. As for the future, aren't we still there? Your child is my adopted son, and it's not a big deal to help take care of him."

Yan Gaoqing also said: "Brother Jingyuan said that my mother and wife can help in this regard, which is not a big deal. But the key is still up to you. I think you have this concern, so it is better to have a conversation in person. Let's discuss the result together. Whether it will be successful or not depends on the result."

Yuan Luqian nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. I will talk about this matter together with Miss Xia."

While drinking with the two, Pei Min said his next plan, "In more than a month, winter will come. I plan to ask the Hexi Army to do an exercise to let the soldiers adapt to fighting in the cold winter..."

He has a great plan for the future, but it is just in the mood.
