The "compulsory government military system," which has been revised and perfected by Han Zhongyan, is, of course, an ideal military system that is satisfactory to all sides and is theoretically feasible.

First of all, of course, saving money!

The so-called "200 acres of shade" fields are exempt from taxes on 200 acres of fields - this is not a dry field or paddy field, but a general 200 acres. And of course, the imperial court is not stupid, so it will not go to the southeast six roads, which have a high yield per mu, to recruit government soldiers.

The soldiers must have come from the barren Shaanxi Sixth Road, Hedong Road and Hebei Second Road. There, the tax on 200 acres of land was converted into no more than 20 tassels, and it was often not collected due to various disasters.

In addition to the 20 taels of tax collected less (in fact, it is not collected), the compulsory soldiers can also get their own rations - because people have served for several years in a row, it is impossible to bring their own dry food, and they can only have the court to manage the meal, but they only need to bear one person's diet, and at most it is 50 catties of rice noodles a month and some salt vegetables, which is almost fifteen taels a year.

Considering the less exempt money and a small amount of reward (which can not be given) after the soldier is discharged, the cost of a soldier is at most 378 yuan per year. Compared with the regular forbidden army, it is still a lot of savings.

The second is to be strong!

With five years of service as a soldier, he entered the army at the age of eighteen and retired at the age of twenty-three, leaving the best of his youth in the barracks of feudalism. This is much stronger than the forbidden army, which has served for almost life, and there are many people in the forbidden army who have worked until forty or fifty, and there are as many as thirty or forty. Most of the uncles who live at home, how can they compare with the guy who is eighteen to twenty-three years old and stays in the barracks all day long?

If Murong forgets his worries and trains a large number of professional officers as the core of the army, this army, which is composed of young volunteer soldiers, can fully undertake the heavy task of preventing ethnic minorities from moving south......

Of course, these are all theoretical benefits.

And the shortcomings of the compulsory government soldiers are also obvious!

The first is that short-term conscripts are more dependent on highly qualified officer corps than long-serving professional soldiers. Because the recruit period accounts for at least one-fifth of the five-year round of soldiers, the workload of training the troops is very large, and the requirements are very high, and the recruits must be trained within a year to a year and a half.

If the quality of the officers can't keep up, this compulsory government military system is likely to create a rabble - of course, even if it is, it will not be much worse than the disguised uncles of the forbidden army...... The big deal is that the whole army will be wiped out!

The second shortcoming is that it is too dependent on a group of landlords and scholars......

The court of the Northern Song Dynasty does not control the grassroots, the officials are hereditary, and a county has civil officials, where to pull Zhuang Ding? Without the help of the grassroots officials, they could not do anything. And the officials have no chance of promotion, so they naturally have to listen to the powerful instead of the imperial court - no matter how good they are, they are still officials, why don't they make a fool of things?

Therefore, if you want to levy compulsory government soldiers, you must go through the hands of local heroes, and it is self-evident who will end up with the 200 acres of duty-free quota.

Therefore, it is likely that the landlord will take the benefits of the government soldiers, and then force the customers to become soldiers. Without sufficient benefits, these obligated soldiers only have obligations and no rights!

Of course, the Lantian Lu clan is not so inferior, they are real wise men. As long as the "Township Covenant" and the "Jingtian" can be implemented at the same time, the pilot project of the prefectural military system in Lantian will certainly succeed.

……

"Zhuqing, Wu Haogu and Tong Guan also handed over a note a few days ago, saying that they have met with Wu Yanzhong, the secret envoy of the Goryeo State, and the Goryeo people are willing to buy the weapons produced by the Ordnance Supervisor."

The pilot project of the government military system has already been discussed, and it will be implemented in accordance with Han Zhongyan's suggestion. So Zhao Ji began to discuss the matter of "international arms trade...... Seriously, this is the first time that the matter of international arms trade has been discussed in the court, so Zhao Ji also feels a little fresh.

The Ordnance Supervisor can actually make money! It's a bit of a surprise.

"Han Qing, Zeng Qing," Zhao Ji directly ordered Han Qi and Zeng Bu, "What do you two think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Goryeo has always been a friendly neighbor of our court, and now that Goryeo is going to war, it is appropriate for us to help with weapons."

Han Zhongyan was in favor of arms sales to Goryeo - making money came second, and relations with Goryeo came first. Lianli is the consistent national policy of the Great Song Dynasty! Moreover, this time, the Liao State did not object to the Great Song Dynasty helping Goryeo to crusade against the Jurchens.

Of course, Zeng Bu is more inclined to oppose the things that Han Zhongyan supports. So Zeng Bu played: "Your Majesty, if we help Goryeo, we will inevitably offend the Jurchens." If Goryeo is defeated by the Jurchens in this battle, it will not be easy for us to unite with the Jurchens in the future. ”

"No, no," Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand, "We're not helping Goryeo, we're doing business." If the Jurchens want weapons, we will sell them as well. Both Goryeo and Jurchen are our friends. ”

Sell at both ends!

As soon as Zhao Ji's words came out, all the ministers were stunned. Will today's official family break the Wu Hao Gu belt? The development of real estate has already made a lot of money before, and now it is making up arms...... It seems that it won't be long before the official family's vault will be full of evil money!

These officials all misunderstood Song Huizong and Wu Haogu, they actually didn't read Wu Haogu and Tong Guan's recitals, both of them were "secretly in the text", and Zhao Ji didn't make it public.

Because Wu Haogu put forward his own secret plan in the recital - the purpose of selling weapons is not to make money! Eh, Wu Haogu is a Great Song Dynasty official who convinces people with virtue, how can he fall into the eyes of money?

Therefore, the arms are really not sold for money, but to establish a deep friendship with the Jurchen Wanyan family and the Goryeo court.

Friendship comes first, money is not important.

By selling arms, the arms dealers of the Great Song Dynasty were able to enter the land of Goryeo and Wanyan Jurchen, meet their big names, establish deep friendships, and spread Confucianism to them by the way...... If it is possible, you can also abduct a few Xiao Wanyan to Tianjin University, oh, it is the Yuntai Xuegong Jiehe Branch to learn the truth of Confucianism to convince people with virtue.

"Your Majesty," An Tao, the Privy Councillor, asked at this time, "the price of weapons is very expensive, and the Goryeo and Jurchen are very poor, what if they don't have the money to pay the bills?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled: "You can lend them first, and then pay it back slowly when you have the money." ”

Even foreign debts will be released! This official family is really capable!

"Your Majesty, what if they can't pay it back?" Zeng Bu asked with a frown.

Zhao Ji said: "I will convince people with virtue, if Goryeo and Jurchen will not be able to pay off their arrears in the future, then we will forgive their debts, so that they will remember the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty, why don't we give them weapons?"

This question was asked by Han Zhongyan, and when he heard it, he didn't know how to do business, and he was also an official who was divorced from the masses.

"Han Qing," Zhao Ji said with a smile, "Have you ever heard of a folk proverb 'Ascend Mien, Fight Mi Hatred'?" ”

The official family actually even knew about the promotion of Mien and the fight against Mien!

Is there really a Ming Jun in the Great Song Dynasty this time?

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The ministers in the palace finally obeyed this time, and they couldn't say anything else except for the sentence "Your Majesty Shengming".

……

"Eighteenth sister, you have a body, when I leave in a few days, you can send it to the door...... I won't stay long in Jiehe, and I will definitely come back to see you before Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Haizhou, Tianya Town, Linhaizhuang.

Wu Haogu was talking to Pan Qiaolian, who was pregnant again. Pan Qiaolian was only diagnosed with the happy pulse this morning, first Ximen Qing personally checked the pulse, and then invited Lang Zhong from Ximen Hall in Tianya Town to check the pulse again, and it was confirmed that it was the happy pulse.

This made Pan Qiaolian very happy, she always wanted to give Wu Haogu a son, but Wu Haogu was unwilling to let her get pregnant too often, so as not to damage her body. Therefore, I have been using the method of calculating menstrual events to prevent pregnancy, until Pan Qiaolian's body has fully recovered, and there is a kind of cloth that is successful.

Although his wife is pregnant again, he still has to leave his wife and go to Jiehe Commercial Market with Dashi, Guo Yaoshi and Jin Wushu in his heart, as well as Wu Haogu, who has the great cause of national unity.

So I can only say goodbye to my wife.

A hint of disappointment appeared on Pan Qiaolian's little face, but it was quickly concealed.

"It's okay, I must go back to Haizhou before ...... year."

Wu Haogu smiled, "I must go back, I must come back...... You have to live and recuperate, or I'll let my eldest sister stay and take care of you." ”

"No need," Pan Qiaolian looked at her husband and smiled sweetly, "The eldest sister's body has already recovered, so you should hurry up and let her get pregnant again." You're only two children now, and if you count Olga's belly and the slave's belly, it's only four, but it's a little less. ”

Wu Haogu stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his wife's belly, "Eighteenth sister, we are still young, and we have time...... You'll have to give me a few more, at least seven or eight babies. ”

Pan Qiaolian chuckled when she heard this, "Giving birth to seven or eight slaves can't make a sow?" You'd better let the eldest sister give birth...... The slave will give you two sons and two daughters at most. ”

"It's not a lot to give birth to four," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "You have to take care, but don't lie down all day, you still have to move, otherwise the doll will not be easy to raise." Do you see how good the eldest sister was at that time? And the golden retriever lady (referring to Olga) also looks like a good child. ”

"Got it," Pan Qiaolian pouted, "There are more and more women in you...... I don't know when I forgot about the slave! ”

Wu Haogu was said by his wife, and smiled a little weakly: "Those are all scenes on the spot, and there are only you and the eldest sister in the family." ”

"Oh? What about Olga? Pan Qiaolian asked.

"She," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "the children she and I have born will not enter the house." ”

Wu Haogu doesn't seem to be a father with a bowl of water. In his plan, Pan Qiaolian's heirs, Ximen Qingsheng's heirs, and Olga and Du Wenyu's heirs will all have their own different futures.
