Its role is also mainly responsible for various labors, such as construction, transportation, mailing, and logistics for the army.

The attitude of the court is also very perfunctory. You don't expect you to play a big role in war, and you don't want any materials or weapons.

It is self-sufficient from a small part of the local finances.

Zhao Xing waited for a while, and then heard the guard come back to pass the message.

"Master Zhao, you can go in, Master Lei is waiting."

"Lead the way ahead." Zhao Xing got off the carriage and took Jiang Tianming and several people into the commander's mansion.

What he wants to see today is Lei Xiong, one of the four captains.

This is a big man with supernatural powers, and he is also a strong backer among foreign officials.

However, according to Ji Liang, Lei Xiong was not too young, he had lived for more than [-] years.

Inside the Commander's Mansion, it is magnificent and full of majesty, and there are fully armed sergeants everywhere.

Following the sergeant to a side hall, Zhao Xing's personal guard stayed outside.

Only Jiang Tianming and Jiang Qi followed.

The subordinates offered tea and asked Zhao Xing to wait for a while. Jiang Tianming and Jiang Qi stood around Zhao Xing, motionless.

After a cup of tea, a strong breath appeared from the side of the back hall.

This man is burly, two meters tall.The cyan battle armor on his body has vaguely mysterious lines, which is full of oppression.

After the figure approached, Zhao Xing saw Lei Xiong with black hair and a blushing face, who looked just middle-aged.

So he got up quickly and said, "Xiaoguan Zhao Xing, see Mr. Lei."

"You are Zhao Xing?" Lei Xiong's voice was rough, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, "Sure enough, it's a boy from a hero."

"The adults are rude."

"Okay, sit down." Lei Xiong waved his hand, "We are military generals, we don't have so many bells and whistles, so we don't need to be cautious."

"Yes." Zhao Xing sat back to his original position.

"Zhao Xing, Ji Liang recommended you to serve as a school captain temporarily. Now you are successful in training militiamen and in suppressing bandits."

"This officer has already reported to the imperial court through the Temple of Heavenly Heart. From today onwards, you are the official school lieutenant, and it is no longer temporary." Lei Xiong handed over an appointment document and official seal to Zhao Xing.

The official seal is a bronze silver ribbon, and the official document is stamped with a central seal and a blue pen and Zhu Zhu.

It means that the temporary captain of his own can be regarded as righting.

"Thank you sir." Zhao Xing took it quickly, showing a hint of joy.

With an official identity, it will be much easier to do anything in the future.

During this period, the rank of military generals was more important than that of civilian officials, and it was more valuable.

"You don't need to thank me, you deserve it." Lei Xiong waved his hand, "The entire Nanyang County does not know that the temporary captains who have been sealed and those who have been removed are like a feather."

"It's up to you to be right."

"At least one point, your Wu'an army not only doesn't have to ask for money, grain and weapons like your official, but also has the combat power to suppress bandits. This is a great credit."

"Hmph, how many captains can't do this, and I have to worry about them."

Lei Xiong seemed to be somewhat emotional.

Recruiting militiamen is actually an important means of pacifying local turmoil.

Because the militia was originally designed to accommodate the powerless and homeless refugees and refugees.

Natural and man-made disasters continued, and refugees and refugees did not appear once. All these people were collected by the local government and filled into the militia to provide food and support.

In this way, there will be food to eat, and refugees and refugees will not make trouble.

The turmoil was quickly settled, and it seemed that the local officials were very capable.

But actually?

There are many disadvantages here.

Over time, it will lead to a decrease in local tax revenue, and it will become less and less, because there are fewer people who farm.

There will even be cases where the local government uses this to request financial subsidies from the imperial court.

So many places had no choice but to disband the militia and let them go back to farming.

However, natural disasters continue, and reclamation of wasteland is not so simple.

And the good fields are in the hands of the powerful gentry.

After the disbandment of the militia, either can only work for the big family, serving as slaves and servants.

Either they can only idle around and become refugees again, or they can become bandits, and when there is some turmoil, they will continue to rebel.

Although Zhao Xing expanded his military force, he paid a lot of taxes. Not only that, but each time he paid more taxes than in previous years.

And there is combat power to suppress bandits, this is the ability.

Zhao Xing knew that the boss was just expressing his emotions, and he didn't need to answer the call himself to comment on the militia system, so he listened silently.
