In the normal Chinese dynasties and generations, the armed non-governmental organizations are indeed equated with organized rebellion, and once someone gathers manpower to leak the news, it will inevitably be encircled and suppressed by the government army.

The problem is that the country governed by Lu Zhe is not so the same as that of previous dynasties, to put it bluntly, most of those looting licenses were obtained by incumbent civil and military officials, and only a very small part fell into the hands of the people, and the people who obtained the plunder certificates were either big clans or big gentry.

The civil and military officials of all dynasties and dynasties, those who entered the stream and those who did not, more or less trained their own private armies. In many cases, it has nothing to do with whether or not to rebel, it is a kind of "process" that people who have reached a certain status will follow, and it is necessary to take care of the family and nursing home for self-protection.

Not to mention the big clan and the big gentry, the clan itself is a kind of family composed of blood relations, and there are many children of this kind of family, and they have their own family arms since ancient times; Because the gentry have money and food, they are also the most insecure people, how can they not hire armed personnel such as guards?

In fact, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, whether it was civil and military officials, or clans and gentry, they looked at their personal financial resources and connections, and the organized armed forces often even exceeded the number of national armies of some small princely states.

When Lu Zhe established the Han State, he strictly stipulated in the system what rank could have how many parts, and the troops were the armed forces that the military would have, and unless he became a nobleman, even if he was a general in the army, he could only have fifty parts at most, but there was no such convenience on the civilian side.

Different from the new national conditions of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many people feel uncomfortable, to a certain status, or have a certain family property, but the law does not allow them to have their own private arms, before Lu Zhe did not issue a robbery license, which can legally own the armed forces of the organization, they were frightened and quietly organized, and the organization was also in the name of hiring a field maid or Xiao Si.

Lü Zhe found that the inability to arm private forces gave some groups a strong sense of insecurity. The civil and military officials are easy to say, but the clans and the gentry are suffering from gains and losses in the sense of insecurity, and at the same time, they are trembling, as if they can't let go of their hands and feet.

The development of society is generally the stability of the superstructure in order to bring impetus to the middle and low-class people, once the superstructure does not dare to invest, the middle and low-class people will not get enough opportunities, then any development is not mentioned.

It is impossible for Lu Zhe, who discovered this phenomenon, to reopen the "door" to private armed forces without permission, but he also cannot turn a blind eye to a large group of people who are supposed to drive social development, and these people dare not do anything because they have no sense of security, so the private armed forces in the form of supervision, that is, the armed groups that need to obtain a looting license to organize. A team similar to a kind of mercenary was born.

What kind of era is it now? For the kingdom under the rule of Lü Zhe, Lü Zhe created an unprecedented era of expansion. In such an era, the country's army is constantly expanding its territory, the army is destroying enemy countries, the army is killing foreign races, and the country's land area and all resources are constantly increasing.

The expansion of the territory of the state is unimaginably huge, but the state is destined not to clean all the corners or every lump, so the state eats meat. The residue or soup or water is left untouched.

Civil and military officials, clans, and gentry sought plunder licenses in order to get a bigger piece of the pie in this era of great expansion, and the other way around, even if they didn't have a plunder license to legally organize private armies, they should have private armies. At best, it's hidden. Then it is better to put it in the open for supervision and monitoring, so that many people do not have to be afraid, and the ruler can see most of the situation. It is more possible to use the law to restrain and control those armed forces, so that those armed forces can do things that the army cannot do, such as killing civilians of the enemy country in an organized manner. to plunder the wealth of the enemy.

The fact is that no matter how violent the army belonging to the country is, it must be avoided if it can not be stained with the blood of civilians, and once the blood of civilians is stained too much, then the army will lose its sense of honor and become a violent force without any principles, and in the end, it will become more and more restrictive and evolve into a beast-like locust.

The existence of the army is to serve the expansion of the country, and when necessary, it becomes the power of the country's guardianship, and the locusts only have destruction, and the locusts do not know what it means to protect, and an army that does not know how to protect will not only become a double-edged sword, but eventually they will become the cunning of their own country.

Lu Zhe can explain his own ideas like some people, and he can also explain the original intentions and expectations of some actions in those ideas, but that is only for the core officials of the country. Can he face the squire in the General's Mansion? Apparently not.

"Qing's loyalty is commendable, and I will come to the palace to protect Lonely in the future." Lu Zhe said this with a smile.

The waiter of the General's Mansion was called Shi Qian, and he was stunned for a long time before he responded with joy and confusion: "No! ”

There will always be some people who don't understand the changes of the times, and there will be a group of people who ignore the colleagues around them, Shi Qian belongs to that kind of person, if he usually pays more attention or interacts with his colleagues, he will understand that civil and military officials are involved in a certain thing, and he will also know that there are factors that cannot be announced in the production of a certain thing.

Then again, if Shi Qian knew the cause and reason of a series of things, would he still stand up and say those words in a daze when everyone was following the established rules of the game?

A small accident did not make any waves with the addition of a personal guard by Lu Zhe's side, and many frightened people also put back the heart that was about to jump out of their throats because of Lu Zhe's handling method.

"Ruling on," Lu Zhe may have been sitting for a long time and his body was a little stiff, he stood up and moved his body, and walked a few steps before saying, "Regarding the rate of population growth in the empire, do you have eyebrows?" ”

"Back to the king, I have a general eyebrow." Xiao He has the habit of carrying some number books with him, took them out and rummaged through them, and found the page: "The easiest to check in detail is Nanjun, Nanjun currently has about 340,000 babies under the age of one, 470,000 children between two and three years old, and 270,000 children between three and seven years old. ”。 After reading, he looked at Lu Zhe, who was still walking back and forth on the steps and moving his body.

"Really? There are more than five million people in Nanjun, and there are one million and eighty thousand children under the age of seven......" Lu Zhe estimated it, that is about the average two couples have a child less than seven years old, but the number is not counted like this, after all, it is necessary to count the middle-aged and elderly and those who are not married: "It's a lot of pressure, right?" ”

Xiao He laughed a few times: "The minister thinks that the greater the pressure like this, the better." ”

The ruler encourages childbearing, it is not always to open his mouth and say, "Everyone give birth hard", it is over, and if you can afford to give birth, you must be able to afford it, and the social medical system must be able to keep up, otherwise it will cause terrible consequences, and there will be incalculable babies who will die after being born for various reasons. What a sinful thing that must have been?

Lu Zhe's encouragement of having more children under his rule is accompanied by relevant auxiliary policies, such as how much money can be obtained from the government every month when giving birth to a third child, and the more children will be more assisted, and the most bizarre phenomenon is that the mother who has more children can actually get how much auxiliary funds from the government every month, and has become a group of women who are paid by the state to support the group of women who are unable to generate income for the family because of multiple births.

Birth, continue to birth, a large number of births, give money if you have money or not, and the state pays for it. One can imagine what a dumbfounded thing Lu Zhe did to increase the total population of the country, and one can also imagine how much finance the state has to invest.

"Your Majesty, Nanjun belongs to Zhili and is at your feet. Therefore, the situation in Nanjun is more special," Xiao He is painful tone with inexplicable joy: "The ruling government allocates money and grain to childbirth-related assistance every year, and Nanjun alone allocates 13 million dollars every year. 170,000 stone of grain. The total amount of the rest of the counties was 80,450,000 yuan, and the grain was 2,300,000 stones. ”

A breath of breath resounded in the main hall. Most of the civil and military officials had frightened expressions on their faces.

The Han army has expanded to 15 permanent number corps, with 750,000 soldiers, and the number of relevant auxiliaries has been changing, but no matter how few auxiliaries are in formation, it will not be less than 1 million, so the country's long-term armed forces are floating between 1.75 million.

In addition to the fifteen permanent standing corps, the second-line troops serving the country are also constantly maintained at about 1.2 million, and in addition to being stationed in various cities, passes, and occupied areas, they sometimes take on the necessary garrison in a certain frontier area.

In addition to the standing corps and a series of offensive and defensive second-line troops, Lu Zhe has always had a unit of the nature of a tuntian soldier under his command, and the number of this logistics corps has been increasing, from the original 200,000 to 650,000, and it is the main force for the construction of production areas as a state act.

In the summer and winter of each year, the state also clearly stipulates that all counties and counties, as long as the territory under the rule of Lü Zhe will call on young people to carry out the necessary training, with the continuous expansion of the territory of Lü Zhe's rule, the number of people participating in the summer and winter compulsory military system has exceeded four million recently. The four million are from 18 to 40 years old, under 18 years old and over 40 years old are not included, and not all of the 4 million people participating in compulsory military training are men, and women in Lu Zhe's country are also in the compulsory military system.

Militarism, there should always be a militarism should look like, that is, when necessary, the appropriate age class of the country can be armed with a sword, so isn't it necessary to conduct military training in advance? As a result, the system that Lu Zhe came up with was that as long as he was willing or willing, regardless of the prerequisites of whether the logistics could support it, it was a matter of one sentence to gather seven or eight million people who had undergone military training.

For example, this year, because of the war in northern Xinjiang, the total amount of military supplies and salaries used to maintain the non-commissioned officers of the army has actually exceeded 70,000 yuan.

Any kind of national policy requires investment, and there are several major prerequisites that the national policy developed by Lu Zhe did not collapse the national finances.

First of all, there is no existing economic system that has been formed at all, that is to say, the economic circulation limited to transportation and regional nature is not wide, and the flow of capital is too narrow, not that people who are on the southern coast at this moment can fly to the grasslands of northern Xinjiang in the next moment, and even if they can, it is impossible to carry a huge amount of money.

The second is that the coins circulating in the market have not reached the level of flooding, which is related to the trading system of the ancient pre-Qin era, in which there may have been people who did not own even a coin in their entire lives, and the transaction was basically a barter.

Lu Zhe likes to throw money very much, why does he like to throw money? It is not because we want to change the situation of bartering and establish this system of money, that we have to desperately throw money to make the money produced by the mined copper mine get the value it deserves.

Compared with the prosperity of the times, compared with the annual financial resources of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and hundreds of billions, which have always been about 1,000 to 1,200 yuan, how much is it spent every year under Lu Zhe's rule? It's only 700,000! It's embarrassing to say it!!

With only 700 million dollars spent on maintaining military units every year, it is not only a shame to say it, but also how bad should the country's monetary system be? You must know that in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, when preparing to attack the Xiongnu, Liu Che's military expenditure in the early days was tens of billions of money. In the period of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it cost tens of millions of dollars to buy an official. That is the real monetary system has been widely recognized, and money has also established a value system among the people.

Lu Zhe has been controlling the country's economic system, so there must be a way to scatter money, not to say that it will be spread directly, but there must be a reason, and if there is a beginning, it will also create value.

"It's not enough......," Kuaitong said sullenly, "It's far from enough, it's only 80,450,000 yuan spent on fertility assistance," he hesitated and said, "Why don't you increase financial assistance and cancel food assistance?" ”

"No!" Xiao He glanced at Kuaitong with disgust: "There must be a cycle of gradual progress, Taiwei!" ”

Kuaitong smiled awkwardly, he didn't understand the economic side and knew that he had said a bad idea, raised the teacup and lowered his head silently.

Is it to let the monetary system be recognized, but also to let the currency be circulated, not to let the currency become a rotten street thing, can it be nonsense? (To be continued......)
