I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 106: Exams Change Destiny (I) Overhaul Completed

The reward of land has been given, but it does not mean that the matter is over.

Chris did not forget that what he gave out were just exchange coupons, and the land had not yet been handed over to the militia.

Why not?
There is a lack of manpower to implement it.

You think that giving land is just a matter of writing some words with a stroke of a pen, and the militia will automatically get the land.

Things are not that easy. It is easy to formulate policies, but implementing them is the real challenge.

In order to ensure that the land rewards could be implemented instead of just being a pie in the sky on paper, Chrisma carried out reforms on the day the rewards ended and established the Ministry of Political Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The scope of Biqi Town has been expanded to include an area of ​​30 kilometers in radius. All villages within this area will be under the management of Biqi Town, and the administrative center of the county will be the original Biqi Town.

At the same time, Chris announced that there would be an "imperial examination" that everyone could participate in...both players and NPCs could take the exam.

The purpose of this exam is to recruit the mayor of Bichi Town from the Ministry of Personnel, as well as the arbitrator for public security in the Bolas Fortress and Bichi Town area, which is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The mayor is easy to understand, as he is the head of civil affairs in Beach Town, but what is an arbitrator... This is actually Chris's reference to the Ming Dynasty's inspection system.

Chris assigned a lot of tasks to the arbitrators, such as checking passers-by: checking passers-by at important roads to prevent spies, fugitives and smugglers from passing through.

Arresting thieves: Responsible for arresting thieves, capturing criminals, and maintaining local public order.

Combating smuggling: Crack down on smuggling activities and maintain normal business and travel exchanges.

Maintaining public order: Maintaining local public order and preventing crimes such as gang robbery.

The rights of the arbitrators: an arbitrator can recruit one hundred to one thousand arbitrator soldiers. The monthly salary of the soldiers is twenty silver dollars, and they can be equipped with mail armor, spears, swords, shields, and flintlock rifles.

If we compare it with modern Chinese positions, Chris refers to the arbitrators created in the Ming Dynasty. They are a combination of police, armed police, and customs. They have great power and enforce the law independently.

As for what to do with the police system, we will talk about it later. We are now in a period of martial law.

The system Chris has created is currently very simple and full of makeshift simplification.

With the current population and economy of Beach Town, adding additional arbitrators would obviously be a burden, so Chris plans to let the militia take on the position of arbitrator.

There's no way. Now the territory under Chris's command is just a small town and a fortress. The population under his command is less than 10,000, and the administrative system cannot be maintained. How many tricks can he play?
First, he would just pick a simple political system to fool around with. At the same time, Chris would also make a simple reference to the Chinese system in the 21st century and prepare to make a copy.

He did this for three reasons... First, according to Chris's understanding, the administrative system of China in the 21st century and the 25th century has not changed much. If a modern system is used, it will be easier for players to adapt.

Second, China's township system is too complicated compared to ancient times. It not only requires high-quality personnel, but also a large number of people. After Chris studied it himself, he knew that he could not afford this system.

Third, this system is very mature and you can just copy it.

As for a town, it needs twenty to sixty civil servants who have passed the civil service examination and have a regular position.

Does Chris have fifty intellectuals under his command now?

No, not counting Chris himself, there are no intellectuals under his command at all. The militia primary school night school was established not long ago, and so far, it has only allowed a small number of smarter and more clever people in the militia to learn some Chinese words.

The militiamen are still far from being elementary school graduates; they haven't even finished first-grade knowledge.

Therefore, Chris can't currently afford to build China's system, but that doesn't stop him from imitating it and creating a 24-level civil service system. First, he'll create a PowerPoint presentation, paint a picture, and let the players get a feel for it.

For example, the mayor is at the township level, level 16 to 22, and the deputy mayor is at the deputy level, level 17 to 24. The former starts with a monthly salary of 100 silver dollars, and the latter starts with 80 silver dollars. The specific amount will be announced later, so let's just make do with it for now.

The officials under his command can also take the examination for establishment. A county will have twenty vacancies, ranging from level 20 to level 24. The grades will be given based on the officials' daily performance and examinations, and the grades determine their salaries and other benefits.

As for how to give it specifically, Chris hasn't figured it out yet, and he can't be left alone to figure it out. That's something for future civil servants to think about.

The arbitrator is also below level 16, but he is under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Department, not the Political Affairs Department. Unlike the mayor's system, promotions and allowances do not go through the mayor. In theory, the arbitrator does not need to pay attention to the latter.

This is what Chris has come up with now.

……

"Ding dong..."

"Diusherem" was swinging a hammer in the temporary blacksmith shop in the military camp, sweating profusely. He had no idea what was going on and was swinging the hammer to hit the red iron ingot on the iron felt.

Official email?

I don't have time to look at it for now. This iron ingot must be hammered quickly, otherwise once it gets cold, it will have to be reheated. This process is very time-consuming and will also affect the quality of the future finished product.

Diunirem, also known as Diumu for short, is forging a long sword to prepare for the Japanese pirates, which is a type of Qi family sword. It may be a two-handed long sword imitated by Qi Jiguang based on the Japanese pirates' nodachi.

The Biwa Nagato is one and a half meters long, with a long, curved blade, but not as curved as the Nodachi. At the same time, compared with the latter, its blade back is thicker and the blade edge is a wide blade structure.

The Japanese long sword is suitable for infantry to use with both hands. It can be used for slashing and stabbing on the battlefield. It has good destructive power against light and medium armor such as leather armor, bamboo armor, and chain mail, and is not afraid of clashing with enemy swords.

Overall, the Beiwo Nagato is an imitation of the Japanese sword, but there are great differences in details, making it more suitable for Chinese people to use.

This type of knife has many fans both online and offline because of its appearance and function. It's a pity that Chris does not include this type of long knife among the cold weapons he provides due to cost considerations.

Players who like to prepare Japanese long swords and other swords have to spend money to find a blacksmith to customize them. This brings a lot of orders to Dium, who learns mechanics in real life and plays blacksmith online.

Even when there was a war, Dium's blacksmith shop was always running day and night. He hired six blacksmith apprentices to light the fire for him, heat the iron materials, and do some miscellaneous auxiliary and cleaning work.

After hammering out the rough shape for more than half an hour, Dium wiped his sweat, temporarily handed the work at hand to the apprentices, asked them to continue hammering the knife blank, and went aside to drink water.

If you want to hammer a piece of hot iron into the shape of a knife, it will take a long time to do it manually. Dium is thinking about making a hydraulic hammer, which can save a lot of effort.

The laborious shaping of the iron blank can be solved by using a water hammer, which is much faster than manpower.

Designing and building a hydraulic hammer was not a big problem for Dium, who studied mechanics. The only problem was that he had no place to build it.

Now Chris has not yet loosened the authority to buy and sell land. Even if Dium is rich and prestigious, he cannot build a water hammer.

"Well, how do we do this?"

Dium was thinking, and suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have received an email half an hour ago. He opened it, and as he read it, his eyes lit up.

"Arbitrator, mayor, exam? Wait, if I become mayor of Beach Town, won't I have the final say on how the county uses land?"
