In the middle hall of Liu's mansion, Li Banghua and Liu Hongjian talked a lot about the shortcomings of the current military department, and when he saw the old man talking endlessly for half an hour, he didn't even move the tea, and he was still in good spirits, Liu Hongjian was also full of admiration.

Daming is lacking such an upright and upright old minister who is dedicated to the country, and Liu Hong is gradually full of respect for the old man in front of him.

And Liu Hong gradually expressed his opinions from time to time, although Liu Hong's thinking jumped, and almost always said that the old Shangshu was stunned, but the old Shangshu was old and refined, and after a little thought, he felt that it was such a reason, and he couldn't help but look at the juniors in front of him with admiration.

The two chatted for more than half an hour, knowing that Xiaolan said that Sister Liu in the kitchen had prepared the meal, Liu Hong gradually invited Lao Shangshu to dine together.

But Lao Shangshu was stubborn, he didn't agree to anything, and he was about to go home after a chill, Liu Hong suddenly remembered something again, and hurriedly called Li Banghua.

"Sir! The younger generation has one more thing to ask for! Liu Hong gradually arched his hand.

Li Banghua looked puzzled and motioned for Liu Hong to speak bluntly.

"The emperor ordered me to set up a thousand households in Banzai Mountain, and the younger generation did not want to recruit from the ordinary people, but wanted to select children from the families of soldiers who died in the Beijing camp."

Liu Hong gradually thought for a while and explained his thoughts, and Li Banghua immediately frowned.

Although it is legally appropriate to recruit soldiers from the original military households, the problem is that these military households are prejudiced against the imperial court, their enthusiasm is not high, and their combat effectiveness is also very low.

Military households have been exploited by generals for generations, the elders of the family have died in battle, the court has no money, and they can't get any pensions, and even if the money is paid, how much can it be distributed to the powerless military households under the exploitation of generals at all levels?

There is no land to plant, not to mention, and the daily hardships are not enough to eat, clothing, and being bullied, it can be said that no military household does not want to get rid of this shackled identity.

"Boss, in order not to conflict with the military recruitment, the juniors of this conscription must not only be selected from the homes of the soldiers who died in battle, but also must be under the age of 16 and over 14."

Although the enthusiasm and combat effectiveness of the military households are not high, Liu Honggradually believes that these can be changed, and his thousand households will not have much impact on the war situation, he is ready to spend two years to train his first army, and two years later, these soldiers are just sixteen years old, which is the age of high spirits.

"And I will make it clear to the emperor that as long as the certificate and requirements of the Wansui Mountain Thousand Households are met after the assessment, the soldiers can go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to change their household registration, and it is up to them to leave or stay!" Liu Hong gradually thought about it and added.

The age of conscription in the Ming Dynasty was sixteen years old, and the soldiers died in battle, and the second Ding was selected from their own heirs to enlist in the army, and the second Ding died, and the rest of the Ding enlisted in the army, and their own family died, and they were drawn from the family.

Since the military household system has existed in name only, then it should be abolished as soon as possible, the military is a symbol of a country's strength, and it should be glorious to be born as a soldier, rather than being rushed by the people, avoiding it, this shackle has also existed for two hundred years, then, let me break this shackle!

Li Banghua was also a little moved, but then he could only sigh, maybe only the young man in front of him could pry the ancestral system for a hundred years! Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the old man agrees.

Immediately, Lao Shangshu left satisfied.

Just after eating, the next person told that the queen sent someone to reward his little wife, Liu Hong gradually wondered, didn't he just commend him?

In the outer courtyard, there was already a eunuch waiting here, and there were two rows of palace maids behind him, each holding something in her hand.

Queen Zhou's edict is very simple, that is, to treat the emperor to thank the Liu family, and also brought the imperial official uniform, as well as the decree documents, and heard that Sun Xiuxiu was injured, and gave two old ginseng plants, as well as a few sets of jewelry that are not ordinary at first glance.

Now Emperor Chongzhen's inner money is full of gold and silver jewelry copied from the homes of high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party, and Queen Zhou, who didn't even bring much gold jewelry in the past, is also a lot more generous.

It stands to reason that after receiving the queen's reward, she will immediately enter the palace to thank her, but Queen Zhou didn't know how injured Sun Xiuxiu was, so she just said that she would be allowed to go to the palace to catch up when her body was fine.

Empress Zhou is quite understanding, which makes Liu Hongjian very comfortable, and now his beloved wife is injured, as long as Sun Xiuxiu doesn't want to go, let alone Queen Zhou, Liu Hongjian will not give Emperor Chongzhen's face.

But Sun Xiuxiu felt that her body was fine, and she still insisted on going to the palace immediately to thank her, and Liu Hongjian had no choice but to let Xiaolan take care of her life along the way.

Seeing that Sun Xiuxiu was about to enter the palace to thank him, the little eunuch who accompanied him suddenly approached Liu Hong a few steps and whispered with a low face.

"Uncle, Her Royal Highness the princess must ...... if she asks the slave maid to see the uncle. I want the slave to ask my uncle for that 'lollipop'......"

The little eunuch didn't know what the lollipop Princess Zhaoren was talking about, and he had heard that Liu Hong's temper was not very good, so he had to ask softly, although Princess Zhaoren was small, she had a lot of ghost ideas, and he didn't suffer less from Princess Zhaoren.

Liu Hong laughed gradually, of course he knew that the little Lori was thinking about his Alps again, and then he reached directly into his arms, took out a whole bag of lollipops and stuffed them to the little eunuch.

Sun Xiuxiu was also a little surprised, where did her husband get these strange gadgets, first the exquisite mirror, and then when treating her wounds, the thing called 'mobile phone' can not only emit sun-like light, but also speak?

And now she's pulling out a packet of 'lollipops' she's never seen before? Well, be sure to ask in the evening.

The little eunuch went out with a mind full of doubts and a satisfied face.

Liu Hong gradually became idle, shouting that the bull and the mallet were ready for the horse, and he did not go to Jinyiwei for several days, he planned to discuss some things with Lao Liangtou.

Jin Yiwei made great contributions in the big operation of raiding the house, and the court was not ambiguous when he had Qian Chongzhen, and he directly waved his hand and rewarded Liu Hongjian with a large amount of silver.

Liu Hongchuan was too lazy to do these chores, so he directly handed over the silver to Lao Liangtou, just explaining not to treat his brothers badly.

Now the whole Jinyi Wei Yamen has a new look, and the broken Jinyi Wei signboard that has not been replaced for a long time at the gate of the courtyard has also been replaced with a new gold lacquer plaque made of nanmu.

The decoration of the inner court is also new, new tables and chairs, new tea sets, and even the brocade guards who come in and out are all brightly dressed, with embroidered spring knives, even the dark red bullfighting clothes are also eye-catching.

This is the style that Lao Tzu Jinyi should have!

Lao Liangtou really handled affairs in the yamen conscientiously, and after a period of greetings, Liu Hong gradually expressed his intention directly.

Since the horse household has collapsed and the Mongols have cut off contact, they can only make a breakthrough from the eight Jin merchants first, and let them be proud for a while.

Liu Hong gradually thought with hatred in his heart, waiting for Lao Tzu's divine soldiers to be trained, and then he would clean up these unscrupulous profiteers who ate inside and out.

According to historical records, in the late Wanli period, the Jurchen tribe suffered from huge natural disasters, and the Jurchen tribe lacked food and clothing, and struggled, and the Ming army took the opportunity to unite with the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan to attack the Jurchens.

I thought that the Jurchens who had been hit hard must be vulnerable, but in fact, the Jurchens did not break their muscles and bones, and it was precisely because of the resource supply of the eight Jin merchant families that the Jianzhou Jurchens were able to survive the most difficult period.

Then he joined forces vertically and horizontally, using counter-intrigues, destroying the Mingmeng alliance, resulting in the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity being lost.

Later, after the death of Lin Dan Khan, his son succeeded to the throne, defeated the Jurchens, the Ming Dynasty was busy fighting the people's army, the treasury has been empty, and also neglected the resource support for the Mongolian tribes, resulting in the westward migration of the Zahan department, and the rest of the small tribes were all lowered to the Houjin.

And Daming has never had a good horse source again.

Alas, it's a real headache, and things have to come step by step.
