The military merit system and the military rank system formulated by the military office were also applicable to the navy. It was just that the base color of the military rank insignia was different for different troops.
The navy epaulets were blue, symbolizing the endless sea.
The cavalry unit used red as the base, symbolizing the fiery passion. The infantry used khaki silk, symbolizing indestructibility and as thick as earth.
The three major troops each had their own meaning.
In addition to the subdivision of military rank and pay, the military office also had detailed regulations for the ranks of military merit. The entire military merit system was divided into three ranks and nine ranks, with the first rank being the highest and the ninth the lowest.
The first to the third ranks were the upper ranks; the fourth to the sixth ranks were the middle ranks; the seventh to the ninth ranks were the lower ranks.
Different ranks meant different rewards.
Upper rank military merit was conferred the title of nobility. Middle rank military merit was promoted to military rank. Lower rank military merit was rewarded with property.
The evaluation criteria for the rank of military merit was mainly based on the number of enemies killed on the battlefield, supplemented by other factors such as command, logistics, strategy, cover, and so on.
At the same time, the evaluation criteria for soldiers and generals of different ranks were also different. For example, the duty of a general was to command the battle, and could not be simply and crudely judged by the number of enemies killed.
Or the role of a strategist was to plan and plan to determine victory from a thousand miles away.
And so on and so forth.
The evaluation and statistics of military merit were jointly completed by inspectors and generals stationed by the military office, each performing their own duties. The lowest standard for generals involved was a battalion commander.
Both sides supervised each other, and also to prevent the occurrence of false reports of military merit or embezzlement of military merit.
Of course, the entire military merit evaluation system, including its operating mechanism, had not been tested in practice, and there were bound to be all kinds of problems.
This was a great test of Du Ruhui's ability.
Many times, the formulated system was very ideal, but when it was implemented, it was out of shape. The final result was not only not beneficial, but harmful.
The cases of reform and failure in history were all like this. Whether it was Wang Mang's transformation of the ideal society or the famous Wang Anshi's reform, there were problems at the level of implementation.
Of course, the root cause was that when the reformers formulated the laws, they did not combine it with reality, and underestimated the obstacles and difficulties at the level of implementation, and ultimately led to failure.
Apart from that, he also had to comprehend the essence of the four words "step by step".
This was only in the game. If it was in the real ancient society, this change wouldn't have been implemented at all. As an emperor, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Once it was proposed, there would be countless people with vested interests or traditional guardians who would come out to stop it.
However, it was different in the game. There were no aristocrats or Confucian guardians in the entire territory, and the people were relatively open-minded.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo was full of confidence.
During this period of time, besides formulating these two major systems, the Military Affairs Bureau had also made some progress in improving the logistics guarantee system that Ouyang Shuo had assigned to them before he left Shanhai City.
At the military and political meeting, Du Ruhui made a simple report.
This time, the logistics department targeted the soldiers' ordinary attire other than their armor as their goal of providing logistical support. Take the saber and shield soldiers as an example. Other than the armor and helmet that they wore, they also had to wear cotton-padded clothes and shoes.
Therefore, the Logistics Division built two extra-large quilt factories in Lianzhou County and Leizhou County. The quilt factory mainly produced the army's regular clothes, cotton-padded shoes, quilts, socks, and even towels and other daily necessities.
These things might not seem inconspicuous, but they were extremely important to the soldiers.
It was already good enough for the ancient army to be able to distribute armor and weapons. The soldiers' regular clothes and underwear were all brought from their own homes. In winter, they still had to send clothes from home.
This time, the Logistics Division was extremely considerate. They took care of all the necessities in one go.
There was no doubt that a scientific and reasonable logistics guarantee system was also an important symbol of professionalism in the army.
The Logistics Division was on the right path.
…
After settling the military affairs, the next step was to discuss the structure of Zhaoqing County.
Ouyang Shuo still chose Tianshuang County as the administrative center of Zhaoqing County, which was renamed Tianshuang City. Although the Sky Frost City had experienced the chaos of war, its infrastructure was still the best in the entire prefecture.
Like Leizhou County, Zhaoqing County was also divided into five prefectures.
After the meeting, Wulong County would be occupied and its teleportation function destroyed. It would be officially renamed Wulong City as the administrative center of Wulong Prefecture in the northern part of Zhaoqing County.
Although Ouyang Shuo liked the teleportation portal in Wulong County very much, he had to give it up. He did not dare to put the control of a teleportation portal in the hands of someone he did not trust.
After Chili Strip Prince left Yun An County, he had already returned to Wulong County. Ouyang Shuo could not trust this person the way he trusted Mulan Yue.
After all, they were not familiar with each other. They were just exchanging benefits.
After the meeting, Chili Strip Prince would go to a county in Leizhou County to take up his post and leave Zhaoqing County.
At the end of the day, Ouyang Shuo was still very wary of players.
Yun An County, the allied army's former headquarters, would be renamed Yun An City. It would be the administrative center of Yun An Prefecture in Zhaoqing County. Yaogu County and Genglou County would be under the jurisdiction of Yun An Prefecture.
Originally, Cang County was more suitable to be a prefectural administrative center than Yun An Prefecture. Unfortunately, Cang County was completely burned down by Bai Qi, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering.
Ouyang Shuo did not plan to rebuild Yun An County to avoid antagonizing the local people.
Because of this, Ouyang Shuo had to carefully consider the candidate for the prefectural magistrate of Yun An Prefecture. He had to choose someone who had both ability and integrity. He also had to have a certain level of skill to slowly pacify the local people.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo chose Cui Shousi, the prefectural magistrate of Tianfeng Prefecture in Lianzhou County.
Cui Shousi was quite accomplished in Tianfeng Prefecture. Tianfeng Prefecture's various indicators were far ahead of the rest of the county. According to the feedback from the Monitoring Department, the local people also had a very good impression of Cui Shousi.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo believed that Cui Shousi would be able to govern Yun An Prefecture well.
Other than Tianshuang Prefecture, Wulong Prefecture, and Yun An Prefecture, the remaining prefectures were Shuitai Prefecture and Muge Prefecture. Shuitai Prefecture was located in the south of Zhaoqing County, while Muge Prefecture was close to Jiaozhou County in the east.
Ouyang Shuo still chose Du Sijing as the prefectural magistrate of Zhaoqing County.
After a period of interaction, Ouyang Shuo had a preliminary judgment of Du Sijing. This person had rich experience in government affairs. He knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He was also quite tactful. He was quite qualified to be the prefectural magistrate.
[Name]: Du Sijing (King Level)
[Dynasty]: Yuan Dynasty
[Identity]: Prefectural Magistrate of Zhaoqing County, Protectorate of the Southern Border
[Occupation]: Civil Official
[Loyalty]: 75 points
[Commander]: 50 [Martial Power]: 35 [Intelligence]: 65 [Politics]: 75
[Specialties]: Wen Ding (Increases the territory's administrative efficiency by 20, increases the territory's prestige by 10, and increases the territory's integrity by 15)
[Remarks]: Du Sijing first served Khubilai in the Fan Prefecture. He learned from Xu Heng and worked his way up to the Left Minister of the Secretariat. During his stay at home, he did some research on medicine and wrote the Jisheng Extraction Prescription.
The rest of the prefectural magistrates would be selected by the Administrative Bureau and submitted to Ouyang Shuo for approval.
It just so happened that the Administrative Bureau was going to start the official assessment of the whole territory. Zhaoqing County would not be as rushed as Leizhou County. All the officials had to pass the assessment before they could take up the post.
Needless to say, a large number of local officials in Zhaoqing County would have to pack up and leave.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to use a thunderous method to deal with this. Currently, Zhaoqing County had an army of more than 200,000 soldiers. There was really no one who could make any waves.
After deciding on the structure of Zhaoqing County, Ouyang Shuo left the rest of the matters to the four bureaus and the newly appointed Du Sijing to handle together.
After going through the transformation of Leizhou County, the four bureaus were already familiar with the work.
Taking advantage of the free time, Ying You reported to Ouyang Shuo the income and expenditure of the territory for August.
Shanhai City had a revenue of 95000 gold coins, Lianzhou County had a revenue of 55000 gold coins, Leizhou County had a revenue of 22000 gold coins, and Qiongzhou County had a revenue of 84000 gold coins. In addition to the direct revenue of 80000 gold coins from the Industrial Department, the territory's total revenue for August was 336000 gold coins.
Compared to July, the revenue had increased by more than 100,000 gold coins, an increase of an astonishing 40%.
There were three main pieces of good news.
First, Leizhou County had a revenue for the first time. Although it was not as good as the other two counties, it was still a considerable amount.
The development of Leizhou County was enough to prove that expansion was the way to go. Even if the war cost a lot of money, and a lot of money had to be invested in the construction of infrastructure in the early stages, there would be a steady flow of income in the later stages.
This deal was not a loss!
Second, Qiongzhou County's revenue had directly doubled.
With the arrival of the Great Voyage Era, Cliff Mountain City's economy had directly experienced an explosive growth, which subsequently led to the entire Qiongzhou County's revenue to a new level.
With the current trend, it was not impossible for Qiongzhou County to surpass Lianzhou County.
After all, since Shanhai City was separated from Lianzhou County, its competitive advantage had already been reduced by more than 30%.
Third, the revenue of the shipbuilding industry had skyrocketed.
Also benefiting from the arrival of the Great Voyage Era, although the Industrial Department had followed Ouyang Shuo's request and delegated a number of high-quality industries such as the Three Flower Wine Factory and the Wolf Mountain Mine, the overall revenue did not decrease, but instead increased.
Because of this, it also led to a small increase in Shanhai City's revenue.
According to Ying You's estimation, the dividends brought by the Great Voyage Era would continue for a long time.
It could be foreseen that in the next six months, the territory's finances would be more abundant. This was also the reason why the Financial Department did not raise any objections to Ouyang Shuo's military expansion.
August's revenue had increased, but the corresponding transfer payments had decreased. Therefore, in the entire August, the territory had achieved a record net revenue of 185000 gold coins.
With money, naturally, they were full of confidence. (To be continued.)
