If you recruit soldiers from scratch, train them, and then form combat effectiveness, not to mention the time, the various resources consumed are not a small number, which will greatly affect the development of the territory.

But it doesn't work without enough troops. The territory needs strength to protect it. After all, a country without an army will perish, and a people without an army will be in chaos.

The territory needs the protection of the army, the people need the protection of the army, and he, the monarch, also needs the protection of the army.

This made him very confused. The army was not something he wanted to have, so fortunately there was this mission reward that gave him something to look forward to.

The system probably wanted to tell him that if the territory is well developed, there will be an army. It reminded him so clearly, and Yang Song knew what he should do next.

----------

One year later!

Counting the time, it has been three years since I came to this world, and the results of my study on the calendar were not long ago.

After two years of research and calculation, we found that the time in this world is a little different from the previous world, but the difference is not too big. There are 380 days in a year and 26 hours in a day.

For this reason, the number of days in each month was re-divided, adding two hours to each day. This world also has a "moon", and the satellite is also tidally locked, and the speed of one rotation is exactly equal to the speed of one revolution around the "Earth".

And I don’t know whether the satellite is larger or closer to the earth, but it looks much bigger than the moon. The light emitted during the full moon shows a deep night blue, which is very beautiful. The normal light also shows a faint blue light.

By the way, this world also has a blue sky, which is close to the color it looked like on the plateau of the previous world. It seems that this world also has a majority of ocean area!

The re-established calendar stipulates that there are twelve months in a year, divided into small and large months, with thirty-one days in the small month and thirty-two days in the large month. There are eight large months in a year.

The new calendar is called: Apocalypse Calendar, which stipulates that the year when Apocalypse comes to this world is the first year of Apocalypse, and stipulates that the day of Apocalypse, which is the sixth day of June every year, is Advent Day (National Day?!), with a five-day holiday.

.

A new work and rest time is stipulated: each month is divided into three ten days, each ten day has ten or eleven days, and two or three days off - these are legal holidays. In addition, there are also traditional festivals that also have holidays, such as the Spring Festival

Yes, there is half a month of Spring Festival holiday every year.

Of course, these are officially stipulated holidays, which are mostly implemented by officials or factories and in the public ownership system. The actual situation changes differently according to different industries, especially after the implementation of private ownership.

Yes, the time has come for the territory to implement private ownership.

After a year of development, the current territory has grown to nearly 50,000 people under constant recruitment.

The number of towns has not increased, and is still the same as before. However, villages of various sizes have been built around each town. There are hundreds of people in each village. They are all reasonably planned. There is no difference in the previous world.

There are no natural villages here, and there are no scattered households scattered in the mountains.

Each village has a village chief, who is recommended by the villagers of the village just like the previous naval village period. It is stipulated that the leader should be elected every five years. If there is any fault during the term, he can be replaced in advance.

Each village also has an accountant, who is responsible for the village's finances; and a village guard, who is responsible for public security. These three people form the village-level administrative staff, and they are also the officials (not officials) who have the most contact with the people. They are called

They are called the "Three Elders".

The largest town now is Gufeng Town, with about 10,000 people. Since it was all about clearing up wasteland to grow grain, eight new villages were built around Gufeng Town, one in each direction, evenly distributed. The town's population increased to 5,000 people.

, the population of each other village is similar, with more than 600 people.

In addition to diverting the population, such a plan can also reasonably and quickly reclaim wasteland. Evenly distributed villages can use the fertile land here faster.

For this reason, the construction of supporting facilities in each village, such as schools and inns, has also been very busy for a period of time. Fortunately, the construction of the cement plant started during this year, otherwise we would not know when the construction would be completed.

This is also work that can only be done under the public ownership system. You can concentrate your efforts on one thing, but the disadvantage is that you can only do one thing - the productivity is not enough!

Not long after the invading tribes were conquered, a coal mine was discovered in the northern mountainous area, and the corresponding mining site was quickly established. The coal mine was some distance away from the iron mine, and transportation was very inconvenient and expensive.

For a while, black gunpowder was used to cut through the mountains and build a road.

At first, Yang Song was worried that there was no such thing as coal in the world. Now that he found that there is coal in the world, he finally felt relieved.

You know, in the past world, the energy source in the early industrial era was coal. Without energy, how can we develop industry? We just don’t know if there is oil in this world.

With coal and iron ore, the iron-making blast furnace in the industrial town was built. There are dedicated people in charge of these aspects. Yang Song does not need to do everything personally. Besides, he does not know how to build an iron-making furnace. He

If you don’t understand, it’s okay if someone understands.

Now the territory has matured in all aspects, and the time to implement private ownership has finally arrived!

"Everyone, the current enthusiasm of the people in the territory is very dissatisfactory. It is time to implement private ownership!" Yang Song said at the meeting held in the government hall that day.

"I believe you have all discovered that no matter how effective supervision is, it is not the answer. Only when it is related to your own interests can you maximize people's enthusiasm."

"yes"!

"good"!

"It's time"!

…

At the meeting, after Yang Song finished speaking, all the dignitaries below started talking, and they all agreed that it was time to implement private ownership.

"This meeting will discuss how to implement private ownership and formulate rules and regulations." Yang Song continued without waiting for them to continue discussing.

"Moreover, once private ownership is implemented, currency will be involved. What kind of currency should be used? Is it paper or precious metal? Let me start by discussing this issue first." The first thing he thought of was the issue of "money".

There is no way, this is also the most important and most conspicuous issue.

"Lord, I think it is best to use precious metals for currency, because gold and silver are real, and people feel more comfortable holding them in their hands." Yang Zhong stood up and suggested that he was in charge of civil affairs and knew the people's thoughts best.

"Lord, I think paper money is the best. I manage the finances. Daily material management is very troublesome. If you use paper money, it is easy to use and easy to store. It also saves the cost of minting." Qian Liang then suggested that he was in charge.

Financial, have the most say in financial matters.

"Lord, I think paper money is not good. Paper money is too easy to be counterfeited, but precious metals don't have this problem." Li Zhu also suggested, and also talked about the shortcomings of paper money being easy to counterfeit from a technical aspect.

Yes, not to mention now, but also in the past, the counterfeiting of banknotes has never been stopped. Yang Song once encountered counterfeit coins that could be easily mistaken for real ones, causing him a lot of losses.

"Lord, I don't think this is a problem. Some time ago, the paper mill produced a special kind of paper. It was accidentally created during an experiment. It has a soft texture and can be folded repeatedly without being damaged. I believe it can be used as banknotes. No one

It can be faked." Zhang Yu is responsible for managing industrial production and understands the emergence of new technologies best. After speaking, he looked at Li Ji proudly.

"My subordinates think...".

Next, the officials were divided into two groups, each supporting the use of banknotes or coins, and each had their own reasons. Yang Song sat in the upper position and listened quietly to their speeches.

Yang Song found that both banknotes and coins had their own advantages and disadvantages, and he began to hesitate for a while, not knowing which currency to use.

There are a lot of paper money, but the people's sense of identity is not that strong, and they also have to consider future exchanges with the main civilizations of this world. Using precious metals as currency is the most secure.

Precious metal currency has a lot of versatility, but it is inconvenient to carry and store. It also requires sufficient reserves of precious metals. This is the biggest disadvantage of metal currency. It is much more convenient and effective to use banknotes.

"Lord, I feel that the two can actually be used together. That is, paper money and coins can be used to complement each other and get the best of both worlds." Zhu Xi, who had been listening silently at this time, stood up and said.

After listening to this, Yang Song's eyes lit up. Yes, it's not enough to use two currencies together. Although it seems troublesome, in fact there are not many problems at all. And it has been like this for a while. After getting used to banknotes in the future, finally

Everyone will definitely switch to paper money.

"Okay, that's right, just use the two together." He said with eyes shining after hearing this.

But Qian Liang then explained the materials he managed: There were only one hundred catties of gold ingots, one thousand catties of silver ingots, and ten thousand catties of copper ingots in the warehouse. This metal that can be used as currency cannot issue much currency. If there is no

The source of precious metals will sooner or later cause a money shortage.

"Hey, it seems that all paper money can be used as currency." After Yang Song heard about the lack of precious metals such as gold and silver, isn't it impossible to issue metal currency at all?

After discussing it for a long time, the result was already determined, which really made him and everyone sitting here feel speechless. Fortunately, the discussion was not in vain, at least everyone knew the pros and cons of various currencies.

"Can you tell us what you can do to prevent the misuse of currency and protect the value of currency?" Since this road is blocked, we can only achieve success in one step.

Sooner or later, paper money will have to be used anyway. If you issue an experiment as early as possible now, you can save a lot of frustration and trouble in the future when the territory develops to a certain scale.

After a long period of discussion, it was finally decided to issue credit currency, with official credit and various material resources of the territory as guarantees. Finally, to prevent the depreciation of paper currency or to preserve its value, the exchange ratio between the face value of paper currency and gold was stipulated.

The last provision linked to gold is actually a helpless move, out of caution, and to appease the hearts of the people in the territory. Although it cannot be honored, at least for the people, it has a comparison and comfort with the issuance of banknotes.

However, with future economic development, this provision will be canceled sooner or later.

Yang Song originally planned to use metal currency so that he could experience the feeling of using gold and silver coins. Whether it is previous films or other works, gold and silver have been depicted.

The freedom and ease in the teahouse and the heroism of the restaurant are indispensable. Even the various virtual gold and silver currencies in the game play an important role all the time.

But the reality is that these fictitious things are just fictitious and do not conform to the actual situation at all, and his little dream was shattered accordingly.

Because although precious metals can naturally serve as currency, their source is the biggest problem.
