Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 752 Internal Reform
During the period when the ruling authorities were replacing old and new currencies, Zhou Xu was also busy leading the newly formed market supervision department to adjust prices here.

For people who have just escaped from famine and displacement and regained jobs, their first needs are food and shelter.

But as working hours steadily lengthen, when food and shelter no longer become problems that bother them, more needs will gradually arise.

At this time, what they need is a market, a market that allows them to find and purchase the items they need.

Zhou Xu strongly supports this. Economic operation can restore a city to life faster.

But on the contrary, it will also bring him more work.

Now that the currencies have been replaced, the original prices in the New World must not continue.

And if merchants are allowed to set their own prices, it will inevitably cause confusion in the market.

The market needs a standard, which is the fundamental reason why Zhou Xu set up a market supervision department to adjust and supervise prices.

Of course, he did not intend to fix all prices. After all, he also knew that prices would fluctuate depending on the situation, so he allowed commodity prices to fluctuate by 30%.

In addition, if there are any new products that have not been available before, they need to be reported to the market supervision department for review and approval before sales can begin.

Otherwise, they will be regarded as illegal goods and will be severely punished once discovered.

The current rules are roughly like this, and will be slowly adjusted and supplemented based on the actual situation.

Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, Zhou Xu's head hurt.

In addition to handling daily official duties these two days, he also has to worry about the work of the market supervision department, which has caused his work pressure to increase dramatically recently, but he can do nothing about it.

There is no way to leave this matter to the people below, because the people here have no idea about the prices in the old continent.

To understand the prices on both sides, and at the same time be clear about the rules and formulation ideas, for now, the only suitable candidate is Zhou Xu himself.

The work came to an end temporarily, Zhou Xu stretched his muscles, and then asked Hilke beside him.

"Speaking of which, the recruitment has been arranged for some time. How is the recruitment going? Is there a report coming in today?"

Faced with the question, Silk nodded after thinking about it for a while.

"some."

As he spoke, Silk took out a document from the pile of unprocessed documents and handed it to Zhou Xu.

Because of Yan Sheng's toughness, the people here generally believe that being a soldier is not a good job, but they cannot resist the temptation of a ready-made job that provides food and accommodation.

You know, at this stage, there are still many people who have not got rid of their refugee status and are waiting in line for help from above.

As soon as the recruitment order was issued in Dazhou, the recruitment points in each city were quickly filled with people.

According to their usual tradition of conscription, naturally you don't receive as much as you come, and you must first pass a basic test before becoming a soldier.

Considering the situation of the people here and the number of soldiers who needed to be recruited this time, Zhou Xu appropriately lowered the difficulty of the test, which also allowed all the troops needed in the early stage to be recruited quickly.

The local people will definitely not be allowed to serve as soldiers locally. They will all be transferred to other cities. The purpose is roughly the same as the previous transfer of the population.

The specific allocation of work does not take much energy.

After all, this matter does not need to be done in detail. On the basis of the original veterans, the shortcomings can be made up with new recruits. It is quite easy to arrange. After briefly processing the document, Zhou Xu handed it directly to Hilke.

"Silk, send a personal soldier to arrange it as quickly as possible."

Obviously, Zhou Xu wanted to get these new recruits in place as soon as possible.

According to their original process, these recruits should first undergo intensive training in the recruit training camp, but the current conditions in the New World do not allow it, so let them report directly to the cities where they serve, and then slowly receive training. .

During this period, another document was delivered along with this document. While Silk was sorting the documents next to him, he took it out alone.

Zhou Xu took the document and looked through it.

This is a request. To put it simply, it is an application to him for the weapons and equipment arranged for the new recruits.

With the ordnance department working hard, they do have some inventory in terms of soldier equipment at this stage, but it is far from enough to equip all the new recruits.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu simply changed his mind.

"There should be a lot of those armor weapons that were seized before. They are still piled here and have not been processed, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Because there was a famine in the New World, a large amount of food was needed to stabilize the situation, so at the end, the transportation team was basically busy helping them transport food, and the trophies that should have been transported back for processing were all piled here. side.

"Just in time, distribute these armor weapons first and let the new recruits use them. We will slowly upgrade their weapons and equipment later depending on the situation."

After making these simple arrangements, Zhou Xu couldn't help but fall into deep thought again regarding this equipment issue.

[The arrangement of weapons and equipment in the future is indeed a problem. 】

In this battle, the superiority of their Zhou soldiers in weapons and equipment was very obvious.

Especially weapons, as enchanted weapons, the overall strength of crystal iron weapons cannot be compared to pure iron weapons, and it is also one of the key advantages for their Da Zhou troops to defeat the enemy.

However, unlike iron, which has a very abundant reserve, as a key material for making crystal iron weapons, there is only one crystal mine that produces sharp crystals, and it is in the lizard people's clan.

In the past, they had a limited number of soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and naturally they needed less crystal mines. However, with the continuous expansion of their territory, the number of soldiers will inevitably continue to grow in the future.

At that time, will the limited sharp crystals be enough?
Not to mention that vein of minerals, there is no telling when it will be dug out.

As the supreme ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xu naturally had to plan for this matter in advance.

The easiest way at the moment is to give up the idea of ​​equipping the entire army with crystal iron weapons, and provide crystal iron weapons only to elite troops, while soldiers in ordinary troops are equipped with ordinary iron weapons.

There is actually nothing wrong with this idea.

Good weapons must be matched with good soldiers. The soldiers are not strong enough. On the battlefield, they will be cut down by the enemy in a single encounter, and the crystal iron weapons will not be of value.

[Anyway, as for the issue of weapons, this is the arrangement for the time being. In the forging department, the iron weapons have to be recast. 】
