Chapter 1103: Understanding the Situation

Zhao Ziliang's return to Xinjing made the situation in Xinjing quickly calm down, and several officials who had jumped up and down before did not dare to jump anymore, and in this process, the military has not had any fluctuations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the second day after Zhao Ziliang returned to Xinjing, he issued an edict to announce that the principal officials and generals of several relevant yamen, including government affairs, military affairs, justice, and inspectors, went to the palace for pilgrimage and held a small court meeting.

When Zhao Ziliang came to the Liangyi Palace, several officials and generals who had been edicted had already arrived and were talking in a low voice, he walked through the side door of the hall and walked up to His Majesty, and the ministers and generals immediately stopped talking, and stood together in order of civil and military officials, clasped their fists and bowed: "The ministers meet the king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang sat down on the throne, his face was calm, and he raised his hand and said: "In the past few years that I have been absent from Western Qin, Zhuqing has maintained the stability of the court situation and the peace of all parts of Western Qin, so that the development of Western Qin continues to move forward, and it has never stopped. ”

"Thank you, King! It's not hard to wait! ”

After speaking, the ministers parted and stood on either side of the main hall, leaving the middle empty.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Dugu and asked, "Deputy Prime Minister let's talk about the implementation of government affairs since the beginning of this year!" ”

"Yes, King!" Dugu Wenshu stood up and said: "Since the end of last year, the Government Council has issued an order to clean up all rivers and rivers in the country, strengthen the embankment, and build a flood control post every four miles on the embankment. The cost of purchasing materials is financed, and the other manpower, food and shelter are the responsibility of each village."

"On the eighteenth day of the first month of this year, the Government Council has allocated the last amount of money allocated by the royal court to build the road, and the last section of 300 li from Tianzhu to Jiling City, the last 200 li from Tianzhu to Karachi, the section from Ula to Dolejian, the section from Mulu Prefecture to Anxi, the section from Samandar to Kerch, and the section from Shakel to Kerch have been built, and it will be fully completed and put into use by October this year at the latest!"

"This year, the Government Council plans to plant 5,000 acres of trees in the edge of the desert area in the lower reaches of the Yili River (Yili River), 5,000 acres in the edge of the desert area in the lower reaches of the Broken Leaf Water (Chu River), 15,000 acres in the edge of the desert in the lower reaches of the Yaozhishui where the Mengchi Duhufu is located, 5,000 acres in the desert area on both sides of the Wuhu River where Anxizhou is located, and 5,000 acres in the desert area on both sides of the Jidao River where Huoxun Prefecture is located in the lower reaches! If the afforestation project is completed this time and most of the saplings survive, the area of afforestation in our country will reach 1.2 million mu in the past 10 years, and the area of deserts in our country will be greatly reduced! However, judging from the situation in the last year or two, the survival rate of tree planting is getting lower and lower, this time we planted 35,000 acres of trees to survive 30,000 acres is very good, and the survival rate of planting trees in the future will be even lower! After going deep into the desert, I am afraid that it will be difficult to plant trees successfully, so I can only maintain! ”

"In addition, this year is the year of official performance appraisal, in accordance with the regulations ten years ago, every five years for local officials and the central officials of the royal court to conduct a performance appraisal, this year is the second assessment, the central officials of the royal court have begun to send officials to various places to evaluate the performance of local officials, it is expected to be completed around October, and the results can be obtained at the end of the year!"

Zhao Ziliang listened to Dugu's reports one by one, nodded from time to time, and when he finished his report, he said: "Okay, report to this king at any time on the progress of various government affairs!" ”

"Yes, King!" Dugu asked the vulgar and agreed. Since Zhao Ziliang came back, Dugu Wenshu has been much more at ease, with Zhao Ziliang's support, he can let go, judging from the current situation, Cen Shen's illness is only afraid that it will not get better for a while and a half, if Zhao Ziliang does not appoint someone else to take over the government, then he Dugu Wenshu will succeed.

Zhao Ziliang looked at Dugu Jun again and asked, "What measures has the Judicial Temple taken in the past few years?" ”

Dugu Jun and Dugu Wenshu are both members of the Dugu family, but they are already two different branches, the Dugu family has two of them in a high position in Xiqin, and they are the first and second leaders of the two yamen in the center, the power and influence of the Dugu family in Xiqin can be seen, but Zhao Ziliang is not taboo about this, as long as they are finally Xiqin, finally him, willing to work hard, and put the cause of Xiqin first, he will use it with confidence.

Dugu Jun stood up and arched his hand: "King, in the past two years, the Judicial Temple sent a large number of officials to visit various places, and it took two years to collect enough information and information, we have thoroughly improved the commercial law, last October, the Judicial Temple has issued a detailed revised commercial law, and this year we will continue to send officials to visit prisons, local people, gentlemen, etc., listen to their ideas, and prepare to revise a criminal law and civil law next, so as to get rid of our dependence on the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Good! What about Jinyiwei? ”

The Jinyiwei of the Western Qin Dynasty and the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty are completely different from each other, although the Jinyiwei of the Western Qin Dynasty is also Zhao Ziliang's pro-army, but it is more of a duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the Jinyiwei has the right to investigate and arrest, while the Metropolitan Procuratorate does not.

When Huang Fuxian heard Zhao Ziliang call him, he immediately stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, Jin Yiwei has received a total of 984 reports in the past three years, and after investigation, 462 reports are true. In recent months, due to the death of the secretary of the royal court, Lord Gao Shi, and the prime minister of the Government Council, Lord Cen Sen, who was too ill to serve the council, some officials took the opportunity to join forces and form a party in private, wanting to climb to a high position to take in power by improper means! After receiving the king's edict, the minister immediately deployed the investigation, and arrested the relevant officials, and the interrogation has now come to an end, but Weichen thinks that there should be people behind these officials, but these people refuse to confess, tight-lipped like a bottle, we have no way to pry their mouths open for the time being, Weichen suggested that the interrogation time be extended! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while, and said with a solemn expression: "Yes, you can give them means when necessary, you can't get preferential treatment just because they are officials, this case is different from ordinary corruption cases, but rebellion!" No matter how drastic and brutal the methods are, they are allowed! This storm is by no means something that these shrimp soldiers and crabs will be able to set off, and the mastermind behind it must be found out to this king, and this king wants to see who is making waves here! ”

Huangfu Xian clenched his fists and said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Chu Ge and Li Siye and said, "You two will talk about the construction of the standing army and the compulsory army respectively!" ”

Chu Ge first stood up and hugged his fists and said: "King, as of October last year, the expansion plan of five years ago has been fully implemented, and the standing army now has twelve legions, the establishment is from the first army to the ninth army, the slave legion, the plateau legion and the mountain legion, with a total of 366,684 soldiers, 488 generals, and 1,152 officers above the rank of captain!" Since then, 50,000 soldiers have been conscripted every year, and the first batch of soldiers will be retired three years later, with a number of about 50,000, so that a virtuous circle can be formed in the future. The standing army's military expenditure is now 700,000 gold coins per year! ”

Li Siye stood up and said, "Your Majesty, at present, there are seventy-two battalions of the compulsory army, each with 3,000 people, and a total of 216,000 people. There are 256 generals and 524 captains! Military expenditure is 180,000 gold coins per year! Every year, 30,000 people are recruited and 30,000 are retired, and a virtuous circle has been formed! ”

The compulsory army has no military pay, only training allowances, except for officers and generals, of course, so it can be seen that the military expenditure of the compulsory army is much less than that of the standing army.

The establishment of the standing army is a corps with ten battalions, each battalion is about 3,000 people, but at the corps level there are not only the main generals, but also three adjutant generals and a supervising army, in peacetime these adjutant generals are in charge of training, logistics and the ideological dynamics of the soldiers, the supervising army is responsible for military discipline and some other affairs, in wartime, in order to meet the needs of the operation, these adjutant generals and supervising the army can respectively command two or three battalions to carry out operations, make up for the shortcomings of the battalion-level units in combat strength, and at the same time can effectively prevent rebellion, if the main general or deputy general wants to rebel, It would take more than five out of ten battalion generals to succeed, but is it possible? Not to mention that the prison army is staring at all times, it is easy to leak the news if there are too many people who rebel, but if a legion is organized into a team of 30,000 people, the main general or deputy general only needs to rebel against 20,000 generals, which is much easier.

After listening to Chu Ge and Li Siye's reports, Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, which regiment is stationed near Xinjing now, this king wants to go to the camp to inspect military affairs in a few days!" ”

"It's the Fourth Legion, does the king want Weichen to inform General Zhao Hu?" Chu Ge asked.

Zhao Hu was originally the commander of the first legion, but Zhao Ziliang had already stipulated that the generals had to change positions every once in a while, and this time was generally four to five years, and each legion had to change its station every few days! The purpose of this is several things, the first is to prevent the generals from dictating power, supporting the army and self-respect, and cultivating cronies; Second, anyone who has been in the same position or in the same place for a long time will get bored, and will slowly lose their passion and slack off. Let the generals be transferred every few years, and let the legions change positions and garrison every few years, which can effectively maintain a sense of freshness and vigilance.

Zhao Ziliang heard Chu Ge's inquiry, waved his hand and said: "Don't inform him, this king just wants to see the real situation, if you inform him, he will prepare well, what else will this king see?" It's all fooling, what's the point of watching it? Well, it's not too early, you all go back! By the way, Dugu asks the customs to stay! ”

"Wait for the resignation!"
