Chapter 293 Progress of the Hundred-Household System Reform
This kind of work arrangement is not because Horn treats Martin harshly, but because he treats himself this way.
Horn himself works more than ten hours a day.
It is common for bishops and working groups to wake up in the morning and go to work, and then go to bed after finishing their work.
Although the Salvation Army is currently full of momentum, it seems that it will soon overtake Leia and surpass Fran's confidence.
But Horn himself knew very well that their regime was too new and their power was too weak.
Perhaps it is a hundred times stronger than during the Gulag period, but the gap with the current enemy is still huge.
If you slack off a little bit, it may be a crisis of national subjugation.
As the saying goes, to make iron you need to be strong yourself. Many previous experiences have told Horn that it is better to develop yourself than to rely on others.
In order to cope with the strong military pressure from the outside world, Horn had no choice but to use his special trick-Volume.
Not only did he roll it himself, but he also forced the people below him to roll it together, asking them to keep up with Shengsun's pace.
Because it took too long to build the government structure, and the current top priority is to promote the "Holy Country Land Edict", Horn adopted a more flexible working group model.
For example, there are now twenty-five farm division groups, seven financial management groups, five public security groups, and so on.
These groups report directly to Horn himself.
Although Horn will be a little tired in this way, without the delay of layer-by-layer communication, the efficiency will be improved.
However, these are only temporary measures for now. In the future, a complete bureaucracy and hierarchical system will still have to be established.
“Is that all?” Horn closed the account book sent by the finance team in his hand.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The accountant wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Currently we have 115,000 gold pounds, 200,000 gallons of grain, plus private reserves, we probably have more It can last for a month.”
“I remember that rice fruits are sown in March and harvested in July, right?”
“Yes, your Majesty,” the accountant held the book in his hand. After turning a few pages, "Based on the current situation, we will be completely in a food shortage around the beginning of May. There are still two months before the harvest. The church has closed the road and the food cannot be transported to us."
"Including the food expenditure for the expedition to the Ibe Plain in June, we are still short of nearly 1 million gallons, which is approximately equivalent to 10 million pounds of grain."
"I know." After thinking for a long time, Horn closed the door He picked up the book in his hand and said, "You did a good job. You can go back. When you leave, ask Brother Martin to come to me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The moment the accountant turned around, Horn then saw a large sweat stain on his back robe.
Horn couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Unlike those local bishops who have no practical knowledge, Horn can basically make these low-level monks sweat every time they ask questions.
Horn, who came from modern times, was already superior to them in terms of thinking ability and vision. The only thing he lacked was grassroots practical experience, which he had gained through hard work and hard work in Daze Township.
If you want to fish in front of Juan King Horn, there is no way.
But in terms of the real test, it is not particularly special. The field division group may be a little tired, but the other groups only work six or seven hours a day.
Because they were in the feudal period, the people of the empire had a very backward concept of time and had no concept of punctuality.
Catholics in many churches say they work ten hours a day, all year round.
But only half of the ten hours were spent dealing with specific matters, and the rest of the time was spent napping, having fun, and socializing.
They mix work and rest. They work for five minutes and rest for an hour, which is extremely inefficient.
Instead of concentrating on work and resting like modern times.
In their eyes, a pope like Horn who works from morning to night is simply insane.
Others around him were exhausted from following Horn’s modern, efficient and fast-paced work process.
But they also have to admit that the current administrative efficiency and progress of the Salvation Army are more than five times that of before. Some low-level monks clearly remembered that in the past, it would take about two weeks to measure the land of a "hundred-household area" in Horn's mouth.
The current field allocation team only takes 4-6 days to measure and allocate land in a 100-household area.
Twenty-five field-dividing groups acted together and advanced at an average rate of 7 hundred households per day.
At the current speed, the 100-household reform for 100,000 people in the Qingcheng Special Zone will be completed in about one month.
Hair is difficult to comb, but braids are easy to grasp. Once the reform of the Hundred Household District is completed, Horn's control and mobilization power at the grassroots level will far exceed the empire's imagination.
What helps Horn achieve high efficiency is not high-quality elite talents, but the Boy Army department.
The Boy Army was divided according to function into the Cheka led by Rene, the Gendarmerie led by Rafael, and the Night Watch led by Du Vallon.
The Cheka is responsible for intelligence investigation and anti-sabotage, the Gendarmerie is responsible for judicial executions and anti-traitors, and the Night Watch is responsible for maintaining public security and counterintelligence.
Today, the Boy Army has collected five phases, and the current total number of people has reached 453, with the youngest age being 9 years old and the oldest age being 17 years old.
Teenagers over 15 years old account for one-third.
Most of the parents of these orphans died at the hands of knights and nobles, and they have an unforgettable hatred for the empire and the church.
Under the system of the Papal State, they are the youngest, most serious and fanatical group, and are difficult to be bribed.
Those armed farmers and citizens who were detained twice by the Boy Army for bribery can attest to this with tears.
At present, most of the teenagers who are actually responsible for the work are over 15 years old, and the ones responsible for the specific arrests and a series of matters are adults.
It's just that they are still too young, and the law enforcement process is always irritable, threatening and beating them at every turn.
Take the Cheka and the Gendarmerie as typical examples, and their reputation among the people, especially the citizens, is not very good.
Horn has realized this recently, but he can't spare a hand to clean it up for the time being.
In troubled times, it is important to use the law. At present, the Papal State is still in a state of war.
There are many armed peasants and even public peasants from various places who collude with the old knight priests. The boy army is also good as a deterrent.
This brought about a problem for Horn that he did not expect - that is, the attitude of the civilian staff of the Salvation Military Government towards him became one of respect and fear.
All low-level monks working under the Salvation Military Government were trembling with fear when they saw him.
Although he thought he was elegant and easy-going, it still didn't help much.
After all, I have been on the battlefield, and with that murderous aura, I have a weak psychological quality, and I often cannot stand firmly.
Horn was distracted during the last report and subconsciously asked "Huh?" The low-level monk who was reporting fell to his knees on the spot.
It really left him helpless.
After seeing off the old accountant who came to report the financial situation, Horn stood up and wanted to stretch, but saw Martin standing at the door with his head tilted.
"Brother Martin, what are you doing standing here? Come in directly."
"Your Majesty." Brother Martin shook hands with Horn with dark circles under his eyes, "I want to ask Ask, it’s been three days, when can I go to the big library?”
“That’s why I asked you to come,” Horn replied concisely, “I just want to go there tomorrow. Go back to Qiumu Island”
"That's great... Well, I can take the liberty to ask, why are you returning to Qiumu Island at this time?"
The smile on his face gradually faded, and Horn looked up at the dark clouds. The setting sun beside: "Whether they are alive or dead, our war monks must go home."
