"If it is abolished, then how will the reduction of soldiers be arranged?"

The king's rhetorical question made Liu Can feel a little surprised, and when he contacted Liaodong mentioned by the king before, Liu Can asked in a low voice.

"Could it be that the king imitated Emperor Gao's method and set up a military camp in Liaodong?"

The so-called military tun means that the military tun is a policy of "entertaining soldiers in agriculture". He ordered the army to cultivate fields around his station, cultivate the land in peacetime, serve as soldiers in wartime, and allocate cattle, farm tools and seeds to the imperial court, and no taxes and grain were levied on the land in the initial period. The camp was in front, and at the beginning of the formation of the guard system, there was already a tuntian. Therefore, near the guards, there must be military tuns if there are official fields.

Although Juntun achieved very good results in the beginning, and Emperor Gao once said that "I raise millions of soldiers, it does not cost a grain of rice to the people". However, the corruption of the military camp was also obvious to all.

"Juntun, Juntun has long been rotten, although the initial results can be seen, but in the end still can't avoid the erosion and corruption of the situation, not to mention the other, that is, the military tun in the officer annexed the land or the sergeant because of poverty or other reasons to steal and sell, so that the tun grain can not be collected, this levy is less and less, of course, there is also the military tun, the sergeant from generation to generation has led to less and less land at home, life is in trouble, the military household escapes, it is repeatedly prohibited, in the final analysis, in fact, this military tun is corrupt, the military household is erosive, From the very beginning of the implementation of the military cantonment system, it was already doomed......"

Zhu Mingzhong did not explain why the military tun was corrupted and why the military households were corrupted, after all, this has long been a well-known fact to the world.

Hearing that the king was not preparing to implement the military tun, Liu Can, who was originally going to persuade him with various reasons for the corruption of the military tun in the past, asked in some surprise.

"Since the king is not ready to implement the military tun, what is the meaning of that?"

"Disarmament!"

Again, spit out these two words, and then Zhu Mingzhong said seriously.

"The military must be reduced, but this disarmament must be carried out cautiously, what if one Li Zicheng is laid off?"

Cut out a Li Zicheng!

This may be the biggest turning point in the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen three years, in order to save expenses, the imperial court began to rectify the post stations in various places, cut off tens of thousands of post guards, the effect is really obvious, a year to save the imperial court 680,000 taels of silver. But the problem also came, the laid-off post guards, a good "iron rice bowl" was gone, and there was no job to make a living, so they naturally took risks.

On the surface, Liu Mao seemed to be saving money for the imperial court, but in fact he was extremely stupid, and his decision only caused thousands of post guards to become unemployed and join the rebel army. Not to mention that the ancestors set up the post station in order to envelop the powerful people, make them pick up the burden, consume their energy, spend their years, make their stomachs and stomachs, so that they dare not do wrong, just to say that the layoffs themselves, the imperial court cut too hastily, and it is simply to cut them when they open their mouths, and they will not be placed on the post guards. In this way, the post guards are naturally dissatisfied, how can they not rebel......"

Mocking Liu Mao's stupidity, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and sighed, Chongzhen may be called "diligent", but as a "hot-blooded boy", it is always easy to be fooled.

"That Liu Mao also ended well, because from Qin, Jin, Zhongzhou, the thieves who were captured, most of them were post servants, and their shoulders were scarred, easy to distinguish, so Liu Mao, who suggested the abolition of the post station, resigned and returned to his hometown in the scolding of hundreds of officials, and soon died of depression. The coffin was transported to Shandong, and the family could not hire a person to bear the burden, so that it was stored in the hostel, and it was not allowed to return to the village for burial for many years. ”

Hearing Liu Can mention Liu Mao's final fate, Zhu Mingzhong just sighed.

"Not to mention whether he is a newspaper of the present world, if it is a lesson, what is the greatest lesson? That is, when the country is not quiet, we must not make a big move, and the layoffs can cut out one Li Chuang, what if it is disarmed? ”

In the rhetorical question, Zhu Mingzhong pointed to the land in front of him and said.

"Disarmament should naturally be more cautious, after all, this army is all trained, proficient in military affairs, if it is arbitrarily dismantled, it will naturally be the enemy of the country, if it is properly placed, it can help the country, and this Liaodong ...... No, the Northeast is the best place to place retired soldiers! Not only in the Northeast, but also in Hetao and other places. ”

After speaking, Zhu Mingzhong clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the horse that had been stopped continued to move forward, and when he walked towards the river embankment, he continued.

"At present, there are nearly one million soldiers in the country, and the reduction of 600,000 is not to directly retire from the army, but to send them to the northeast, northwest and other border areas, and then distribute their land, give them cattle and horses, and make them reclaim......

In fact, the resettlement that Zhu Mingzhong said is somewhat similar to the construction corps of later generations, but it is different, and it is a method of "immigrating to the real side" formulated by him after summarizing the pros and cons of the military tun of the Ming Dynasty and the construction corps of later generations.

"Waiver?"

Liu Can is naturally no stranger to preferential exemption, as a four-grade civil official, he also enjoys 8 stone of free grain, 8 people in Ding, but according to the "Preferential Exemption Rules", the preferential exemption is not only limited to the gentry, but also the imperial family, the lord, and the widow and lonely, as well as the military households, artisan households, stove households, salt households, and horse breeders, all of which also have their own preferential exemption limits.

"It is the preferential exemption, the exemption from the resignation, the exemption from the endowment!"

Coming to the embankment, under the willow tree, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the flowing river and continued.

"Soldiers in the township do not need to pay food or serve conscription, they are in the township to defend the township, and they themselves serve day and night, so there is no need to serve other conscription."

Compared with Tianfu, for ordinary people, the biggest burden is conscription, which includes Lijia regular service and miscellaneous labor. Miscellaneous servants are errand servants for local government officials, and are dispatched by households, etc. Later, due to the cheating of the lieutenant leader, the burden of conscription was uneven. During the Hongzhi and Zhengde years, in addition to those who served in person, a part of the conscription was converted into silver and paid, the former was called Licha, and the latter was called Yincha. The force difference refers to the enlistment of the household in person, the common name is soap, jailer, doorman, groom, post houseman, etc., mostly in the vicinity of the undertaking, in addition to the preferential exemption object has the privilege of famous service, other people are all errands, and the silver is in Hongzhi, Zhengde years, that is, the enlistment household pays the silver on behalf of the service, each of them folds a number of cashiers, and hires people to fill the service. The main items are annual tribute, horses, forage, food, firewood, and discounted prices, etc., which are mostly borne by the lower households and sent to distant places. The principle of the allocation of the difference between the force and the silver difference is that if there is more ding, the strength is poor, and if there is more grain, there is a silver difference.

The so-called day and night service is just an excuse for Zhu Mingzhong, of course Liu Can will not pierce this, not to mention, he wants to listen to the king's thoughts.

"The land in the northeast is not less than 100 million acres, if you want to change the northeast into a county, for the interior, you have to immigrate, and if you want to immigrate in, you have to stabilize the place, so, it is bound to garrison a large number of troops, if there are too many garrisons, it will inevitably make Liaodong a burden for the imperial court, so only the implementation of the military cantonment, can avoid the imperial court for Liaodong to be burdened, and this kind of military cantonment, if it is implemented according to the old law, his Japanese army is bound to be corrupted, so the cantonment will naturally become a bubble."

The king's words made Liu Can nod his head in agreement.

"What the king said is very true, this method of military tuning is really not a long-term way. I don't know what the king said, what kind of army is it? ”

Now Liu Can has become extremely curious, since the king knows that Juntun is not a long-term way, why is he talking about Juntun?

"This military cantonment is not the other military cantonment, and I think that the military cantonment is corrupt, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than two points, one is that the land annexation has caused the military households to lose their land and become tenant farmers. The second is the division of military households from generation to generation, which leads to the collapse of the tuntian, the number of farms and houses is decreasing, and the servants are burdened by the service. Therefore, if we want to solve the problem of military tuns, we must start from these two aspects. ”

The king's words made Liu Can naturally think of the implementation of "Gongtian" in Jiangbei now, and he immediately said urgently.

"Could it be that the king intends to implement the Gongtian system in the Northeast?"

Gongtian system is the most special rule in Jiangbei, as the name suggests, Gongtian is to the disabled retired soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers' land, according to the "Gongtian rule" Gongtian preferential exemption, although there is resistance to this, but in the end it is still accepted, because the meritorious field is either disabled because of the soldiers, or the families of the fallen soldiers, so or disabled or widowed, naturally can not serve the service.

Liu Can himself didn't notice it, his tone seemed a little surprised, obviously, in his opinion, he didn't expect that the king actually planned to implement the "Gongtian System" in the Northeast, and the Gongtian system was not only as simple as exempting from forced labor, but also exempting from land taxes in addition to exempting from forced labor. Although it is only a mere 100 acres and at most 200 acres, according to the "Good Name Rules", it is much more than the 80 acres of Xiucai Supervisor.

And now, as soon as he heard that the "Gongtian system" was going to be implemented in the northeast, and even magnified to 600,000 soldiers, Liu Can, who knew very well that the implementation of the "Gongtian system" had encountered resistance at the beginning, would naturally be so surprised.

"Yes, exactly!"

In the face of Liu Can's inquiry, Zhu Mingzhong did not hide it at all, and straightforwardly stated his plan.

Not only to implement the "meritorious field system", but also to grant land with military merits, well, it is basically equivalent to the "famous field system" in the Qin and Han dynasties, and those who have military merits are awarded acres of land according to their military merits, houses, of course, this acre, houses are only awarded in sparsely populated areas, such as border areas such as the northeast and northwest, as for the Guannei, if it is not a disabled soldier or a fallen soldier, a chance will not be awarded to the original hometown! ”

The king's words fell into Liu Can's ears, which made him stunned, but he also looked around, until he saw that those guards were standing a few feet away, he breathed a sigh of relief, lest these words would cause some trouble.

"The king, do you want to stabilize the border areas by implementing the "Gongtian", and use the "Gongtian" as bait to make the soldiers willing to stay in the borderlands? In the border land? ”

Knowing a breath and knowing the character of the king, Liu Can continued to probe tentatively.

"Come to think of it, the "meritorious land system" here must be different from that of the mainland, if it is like the mainland, "meritorious fields are not accepted", in this way, there is no endowment and no service, how can the local government office and garrison be maintained? ”

Although the king had mentioned "exempting him" and "exempting him", Liu Can still wanted to figure out what the king did.

"Since it is a meritorious field, it is naturally like the mainland, free from its resignation and endowment!"

Looking at Liu Can with a smile, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically.

"What, is there still two kinds of Gongtian?"
