Chapter 708: A Chance to Reconstruction After the War
"Don't look at others, look at me. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gao Fangping patted the table and said: "Especially the goods in Hezhong Mansion, what about Zhang Weiyi talking about you...... If you dare to be distracted again, I will make your death extremely ugly, and you will hear it to Lao Tzu, and it is still in a state of national war. ”
Zhang Weiyi, the prefect of the river, sat up straight with an embarrassed expression.
Gao Fangping said: "It is true that the civil power and judicial power are still in your hands. But don't try in vain, don't try to use these rights to fight against the policies of the church, one day in the state of national war, the power of finance, taxation, money and food is in the hands of the government, there is no right to control money and grain, the rights in your hands are pseudo rights, you can't do anything, even you yourself receive Yulu to buy rice for the doll to eat, you have to come to Lao Tzu to cry. That's the reality! ”
Everyone, including Zhang Weiyi, looked at the Great Demon King in horror. Although you Xiao Gao is the envoy of the northern capital, you don't need to say this kind of disruptive harmony so blatantly, right? It's really ugly.
Gao Fangping didn't say nonsense, the Songxia armistice agreement was not signed for a day, and the Northern Transshipment Department did not revoke it for a day, so their money and food were not reported to the household department, but to Gao Fangping. The right to use all the treasury is in the hands of Gao Fangping.
"So you say it well, do you accept my conditions, hello, I'm good, everyone, or do you want to catch up with the fashion and learn from some noisy people in the south to confront me Gao Fangping?" Gao Fangping said with a smile, "Let me tell you, even if those guys are in a peaceful area and in a non-wartime situation, I have taken care of their feet. They are either royal relatives or top powerful families, and this is still the case, so you Qiu Ba, who have fallen out of favor and been relegated to the battlefield, do you really want to fight against my pork in a state of war? ”
"The Ming government misunderstood, we didn't respond in time, but we were thinking about how to implement your policy, what is this, we don't want to go against you at all." These guys are in a hurry and muddy.
"I'm relieved if you say that." Gao Fangping touched his chin and said.
Actually, these guys are really different from those in other areas. This kind of place is dangerous and poor, it is considered a poor mountain and bad water, and most of the people who come here to do things are offended and unsociable, so they are belittled. This was especially true during the period of Cai Jing's party and government.
There is little money here, and it is a place of long-term war, so everything is different from the mainland. As a result, the civil officials in these places are relatively thoughtful, relatively incorruptible, and relatively strong. For example, in such a national war, diehards like Yue Wen who swore to live and die with the county seat, it was really not as few as one or two. There is a reason for all of this.
In other periods, there will be many corrupt officials of all kinds who have been demoted, but unfortunately one of the most significant political phenomena in the Cai Jing period is that corruption will not be demoted, but will only be promoted.
Therefore, this group of tough officials in the northwest, to put it bluntly, are all people who don't deal with Cai Jing, so they are so bad. In other words, they are relatively incorruptible and stubborn in the Great Song Dynasty.
It is for this reason that the Great Song Dynasty was able to produce a useful Western army, and always kept the Western Xia out of the country.
Their courage is also very thief, Guoshi Yue Wen will not say it, Zhang Weiyi, the old thief's courage is amazing, he actually had the idea of overheading Gao Fangping at the beginning.
Now it seems that they were scared by the Great Demon King and compromised, but in fact they are not, they are the group of people in the Great Song Dynasty who are not afraid of Gao Fangping, and they agreed because the conditions offered by Gao Fangping are very attractive to them. They are aspiring officials, and they want to get the policy, the technology, the money, and the maximum possible post-war reconstruction.
"This time it is not called the united front, but the conference for the balance of interests, which means that we are not pretending to be forced on the battlefield and are pragmatic." Gao Fangping looked around and said, "So at this point, whether it is the military or the people, or the officials, are everyone's interests balanced?" Do you need to balance it again? ”
When no one speaks, it means that they acquiesce.
Gao Fangping pointed at them with both hands and said, "Then cooperate with each other and do something vigorously." I'm optimistic about you. ”
The discordant voice came again, and the seed master came out and hugged his fists and said: "Mingfu ......"
Gao Fangping glared and said, "What do you want to say again?" Do you believe that I let you die for your old age on the grounds that you are too old? ”
Khan, all of them were embarrassed.
Because theoretically, at the age of the master, this is not a whole person, it is really something that Gao Fang can do in equal minutes. What a good reason, the old general has been fighting all his life, and it is time to retire with his salary.
The old seed was really frightened, and his face was red and white for a while. He is not afraid of anything, he is afraid that he will not command the army, which will make him doubt life. On the other hand, as long as he continues to lead the army, the old fellow will use all his family property to fight.
So the old seed really didn't dare to say anything, and retreated.
His younger brother came out and looked at Gao Fangping in embarrassment, he was the same as the old breeder, he wanted to speak but would beg Gao Fangping with his demeanor to allow him to speak.
Gao Fangping had no choice but to say dejectedly: "Okay, what do you want to say, listen to it." ”
"Mingfu...... I, Qin Fengjun, are basically related to each other, and I am a person who has fought with the clan since ancient times. Now there are only 100,000 people, can there really be more? "The middle way of the planter.
Gao Fangping said: "To your little handsome, this hall doesn't want to say too much. Of course I know what you mean, but no more, and I want less if I could. The policy of the northwest needs to change, and after this time, there will be a long period of peace between the Song and Xia, and construction will be the main thing at this time. We must not occupy too much people's power. In the long run, the army will not only be unprofessional, but will eventually affect the sense of belonging of the soldiers and the people's yearning for the army. You and I both know that at the level of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, the establishment of your Qin Fengjun is only 100,000. ”
The planter sighed and had to retreat.
Liu Yanqing also wanted to say this, but he was cunning, since the planter said that he was blocked back, it seems that there is no discussion.
Gao Fangping is serious, in fact, the two military departments take the professional route, and the total number of 200,000 is still too much. With the share of military expenses allocated by the imperial court, how could it be possible to complete the replacement of new equipment for all 200,000 troops, not to mention the military horses, not to mention the maintenance costs after having military horses.
This is a black hole, to put it bluntly, the Great Song Dynasty in the past completely relied on human lives under hard battles to fill such a black hole.
If it is not reduced, it will face "disarmament" from the national policy level, Gao Fangping's idea is to press the Qin Fengjun and Yongxing army to 50,000 each, a large army establishment.
Yes, these are the questions of national policy, and that can't be messed with. Gao Fangping dared to disarm privately this time, because under the strange system of the Western Army caused by the previous Songxia War, their 100,000 establishment would fight more and more people, and those people were not considered military status and had no reputation, but they actually served and fought. These are all problems left over from history, and the ministers and especially Tao Jiefu are even more psychological, so they don't say it by default.
So this gave Gao Fangping the opportunity to disarm and retire people, open the way with interests, and reduce the establishment to the number of registered members of the Privy Council.
If it is to be reduced, it needs to change the law, update the national policy, or it means that Gao Fangping connived at these people to start "eating empty salaries".
"That's it, for the time being, the establishment of 100,000 per department cannot be expanded, and it has to be slowly reduced year by year according to the actual situation."
Seeing that many soldiers had concerns, Gao Fangping said again: "Don't be emotional, don't be unconvinced, the old things will go sooner or later." The commander of the army won a great victory at Shilong Pass, and 20,000 horses launched the Battle of Hezhong Mansion without information, so I am more qualified than anyone else to say that your set is wrong, and my elite theory is the road that must be taken. ”
This is a prestige benefit, and after saying a lot of things, they will recognize them at the level of consciousness and will not rebound. And prestige requires ability and performance to obtain.
In the past, Gao Fangping did not have military achievements, but now that he has, the most brilliant victory of the Great Song Dynasty against the barbarians came from Gao Fangping's presiding, no matter what they used to smear it, this is also a fact that cannot be erased.
In the minds of most of the people and the big-headed soldiers, Gao Fangping reversed the situation of the barbarians bullying the Song people......
Gao Fangping carried out a vigorous military reform in the name of continuous war.
At the same time, there were too many opportunities for post-war reconstruction. So a group of big sharks all went to the northwest, planning to follow Gao Fangping to make a fortune this year.
Yes, the shark group in the northwest is very mixed, and there are Persian leading party like Qi, and there are Great Song profiteers like Ximenqing. There are also red-top businessmen like Wang Qinfei and Zeng Shicheng from Yuncheng, all of whom are waiting to invest, obviously their appetite is too great, and Jeju is already saturated to meet them.
Although Wang Qinfei and Zeng Shicheng are traitors, they are Gao Fangping's old subordinates, they really trust Gao Fangping, and they also want to rely on Gao Fangping to make a fortune, so they brought a large number of technical backbones, a large number of agricultural and animal husbandry technologies, and funds. Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed.
The so-called Dongfeng is that under the protection of Gao Fangping, the parents and officials in the northwest have supported these profiteers with policies, including land approval, pushing workers, and tax exemptions.
Speaking of which, with Gao Fangping's extremely obscene style, he really wants to harmonize Wang Qinfei's sharks. Gao Fangping's values are destined to like state-owned enterprises more than capital.
But a fatal problem is that the northwest really has no money, and it is beyond the power of the capital to invest in state-owned enterprises by itself.
Although Gao Fangping agreed to support the reconstruction of the northwest in the form of a loan from Qianzhuang, it is really difficult to meet the current scale of Qianzhuang with such a large share and scope in the northwest.
Coupled with the "investment risks" brought about by the war zone, it is difficult to convince the elite shareholders in Bianjing to lend excessively to the northwest. As a result, these state-owned enterprises can't eat the share, and only cheap Wang Qinfei and Zeng Shicheng are red-capped sharks to invest.
This is a win-win situation under the rights and interests, they bring the capital, they bring the management methods, they bring the technology that belongs to Gao Fangping, and then solve the large number of unemployed people in the northwest to develop chicken and pig farming. Initially invigorate the agricultural economy and the vegetable basket issue in the northwest.
