Chapter 446: Liu is like this, the catfish effect

Now, according to the latest population register, the population of Lai Chau has exceeded 700,000. With such a population base, the Tiger Ben Army can fully recruit enough soldiers. In other words, even if the five acres of military land reward are canceled, the Tiger Ben Army will not be short of soldiers. At the time of the land reform, the PLA did not have military land, but it was still able to win a large number of soldiers, so it can be seen that it is feasible to cancel the policy of granting military land when joining the army.

As for the amount of settling-in allowance, it can also be lowered. The key is the angle of propaganda. If the angle of propaganda is to defend the country and defend the fruits of their victory, the soldiers have no money and can fight very actively. Just to protect the Junda Order, there are enough reasons for the soldiers to fight bloodily.

In fact, the most fundamental reason why Liu Ru opposes the "Juntian Order" is still the word "hereditary". Juntian is not bad, but bad is hereditary. Once the military field is hereditary, the number will swell more and more. The number will only increase, not decrease. And the amount of land in the country is to be fixed. The greater the number of military fields, the smaller the number of private fields. When the special class that owns the military field surpasses the other classes in strength, a big problem will erupt.

Now there are people who are making small fights and stealing dragons to change the wind, and in the future, everyone will find a way to hang Mintian in the name of Juntian, and as a result, a behemoth monster with a large number of Juntian will appear. If a family keeps having people as soldiers, or if someone "falsifies as soldiers", the amount of military land it owns will reach an astonishing number. Dozens, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of such families are a very terrifying force when combined.

Zhang Zhun has absolutely no doubts about this. It's so easy to do it. When laws and regulations cannot be effectively restrained, when the regulatory system is idle, everything will change in the direction of the worst. When Zhu Yuanzhang established the health system, he definitely never imagined that the health center system would be decadent to become what it is now.

However, the hereditary lineage of the military field, the stimulation of the soldiers, is indeed very powerful. Zhang Zhun didn't think for the time being that there was any way to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers more than the land. Money is temporary, far less than the eagerness for land. Under the system of the Tiger Army, even money could not buy land. But with the land, it is sure to generate endless money. Therefore, the reward in place of Juntian must be stimulating and able to maintain the fighting enthusiasm of the Tiger Ben Army soldiers.

Zhang Zhun's eyes naturally fell on Liu Ruye's body. If Liu Ru didn't have a good way, she wouldn't rashly ask to talk to her. Now that she mustered up the courage to talk to herself, she must have had a whole set of relatively complete ideas.

Sure enough, Liu Ru said euphemistically: "Master, the concubine has an idea, I don't know if the master is willing to listen to it?" ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Say." ”

Liu Ru said briefly: "Exchange the title for the military field." ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said slowly: "There is nothing new in this set. ”

Liu Ru said euphemistically: "But it works." ”

Zhang Zhun smiled and nodded approvingly.

There is really nothing new in exchanging the title for military land, and the ancestor doesn't know when he has already proposed it. However, judging from the actual effect, the division of the title is indeed effective. This has been practiced in this way throughout the dynasties. As long as the army and the fields are actually separated, and they only grasp the guns alone, and do not grasp the money and grain, there is no need to worry about big problems in the army.

The title, in the final analysis, is still an honorary reward, and its nature is completely different from that of the military field. The reward of honor can be given as high as it wants. From the perspective of people's demand psychology, when the problem of food and clothing is solved, the greater need is to gain the respect of others and obtain honor. Therefore, at this level, the strength of the reward is actually similar in terms of the strength of the reward.

To give a simple example, it seems that Yang Zhiyuan, Hao Linyong and others, the military fields under their names have reached the upper limit of 50 acres. No matter how much military land is given to them, the stimulus is not great. On the contrary, if they were given a knighthood or other honors, they would prefer it. It's like the torii and statues that I made up at the beginning. But there are restrictions on memorial arches, statues, etc., and you can't always build a torii and a statue in every city.

Titles are different. The title is the level of the online game, how high and how high, how many levels and how many levels. Within each major level, it can also be divided into many small levels. For example, a marquis can be a first-class, second-class, third-class, or even ninth-class marquis. In this way, the spatial extension is simply infinite. As long as the designer wishes, there will never be a cap on this level.

The key is that the difficulty of giving and depriving the title is much smaller than that of Juntian. Depriving one person of his title does not hurt others. However, if one person is deprived of his military land, others will be harmed. In the final analysis, this thing is still made by yourself, which is a bit different, and it was quite useful at the beginning, but now it is starting to show its drawbacks. After the sword goes off, it will naturally take a little time to correct it again. Fortunately, this monster is not very big now, and there is still a chance to improve.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Zhun said, "Do you still have something to say?" ”

Liu Ru said bravely: "It is recommended that the lord cancel all the hereditary system." ”

Zhang Zhun said to himself: "Hey, this is a great thing. ”

Liu Ru said sharply: "The hereditary system is easy to make people lose their motivation to improve, and it is very unfavorable for a country and a nation. If we want the country to maintain its vitality and the nation to maintain its upward momentum, we must fully introduce the competition system. It's like the imperial examination, everyone has to compete in order to select the best talents. ”

"Look at the hereditary status of the imperial court, what has become of it now. All the powerful lords and ministers are all wine bags and rice bags, and none of them can fight. And many people at the bottom of the society suffer from the lack of opportunities to reimburse the state. The guard system is hereditary, from father to son, son to grandson, whether you have the ability or not, you can sit in the position of an officer. And those ordinary military households who performed well did not have a chance to get ahead. Such an army is simply not capable of fighting. Therefore, even the imperial court itself abandoned the guards and replaced them with recruited soldiers. ”

"The root cause of the degeneration of the Wei system is hereditary. If there were no hereditary lines, and officials at all levels, such as the commander of the guard, the commander of the Tongzhi, the commander of the servants, and the thousand households, all competed for posts, the guards would not have degenerated to such a point. If there were regular competitions between each guard and each thousand households, the winners would be given a higher position, and the loser would be stripped of his official position. Then all the officers will spend a lot of effort to forge their troops. The old man's tiger army, the dragon and the tiger in each battalion, everyone is unwilling to be the queen, isn't it because of this reason? ”

"The concubine suggested that the lord should pursue the military merit system of the Qin State. Formulate a joint sitting law, and use heavy punishment for misdemeanors; Reward military merits, prohibit private fighting, and reward knighthoods according to military merits. Soldiers are knighted according to the enemy's head. And the officer who is not allowed to be killed in battle, beheaded! It can be said that the law is unbiased and that the upper and lower levels are integrated, and in this way, the enthusiasm of officers has been greatly enhanced, which is equivalent to saying that on the battlefield, there is no distinction between official ranks, and both generals and small soldiers must make meritorious contributions. ”

"The lord wants to expand externally, and one general will lay down 10,000 acres of land, which is better than ten generals who will each lay 3,000 acres of land, so what the lord needs is not one or two generals who can fight, but countless generals who can fight well. The master wants to give latecomers a chance to compete. ”

"If there is a mechanism of competition, the health system will not lose its vitality. The money and food consumed by the imperial court will not go unrewarded. In fact, if the system of guards fully introduces competition, all the commanders of the guards and all the thousands of households will not dare to slack off. They will do their best to develop production and train the army, and there is no need for the imperial court to allocate additional money and food. Even, there may be extra money and food to feed the court. ”

"In the past, fishermen came back from fishing in the sea and found that the fish in the tank often died, because the fish were too lazy to move, and soon they fell ill and died. Later, it was discovered that some catfish were put in the fish tank. All the fish are forced to move because the catfish will eat other fish. If you don't move, you'll be eaten by silver carp. As a result, other fish have to swim more often in order to survive, and they don't die. ”

"In the lord's ruling order, these catfish must be missing."

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Who can act as a catfish?" ”

Liu Ru said slowly: "The rising star is the catfish." The master should formulate a reasonable competition mechanism, so that latecomers have the opportunity to take the position. To put it simply, no one's position is fixed, you can go up if you have the ability, and you can only come down if you don't have the ability. If all official positions are hereditary, it will block the growth path of rising stars. ”

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "So, who can be sure if he has the ability?" ”

Liu Ru said with great interest: "If you are not talented, you are willing to design such a system for the master." ”

Zhang Zhun Huoran stood up, "Okay! This is up to you! ”

In fact, Zhang Zhun is very appreciative of such a competition system. The catfish effect is the key to maintaining the vitality of an organization. The capable go up, the mediocre go down, this is the most basic concept. What was generally lacking in the Ming Dynasty was such a catfish effect, especially in the Wei system.

From the time of its establishment, the Tiger Ben Army has had such a competitive system. From the original soldier skill competition to the later military competition, everyone is fully competitive. It seems that Zhang Lingyun and others are all on top of the latter. And some of the people who followed Zhang Zhun for a long time are still the captain or even the captain. The reason is simple, you are not as good as everyone else.

When Zhang Zhun formed the troops, he never formed one alone, but at least two. The most basic purpose is to allow them to fully compete. As long as you don't obey me, I don't obey you, and you chase after me, your vitality will be fully mobilized. People don't admit defeat, and no one wants to be left behind.

Zhang Zhun can confidently say that now the commanders of every unit of the Tiger Ben Army are desperately training their own troops and desperately trying to obtain combat exploits. Because, without military exploits, there is no place for them. If you want to achieve combat merits, you must make efforts to train your troops and constantly improve their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, you will be ruthlessly eliminated.

After Liu Ru finished speaking, he felt a long sigh of relief. These thoughts, which had been accumulating in her mind for a long time. It's just that, as a woman, she still has a lot of concerns. Now, she is finally brave enough to speak out. Fortunately, she got some affirmation from Zhang Zhun.

She pursed her thin lips lightly, and said a little uneasily: "Master, the concubine has said too much today. This is just the concubine's private thoughts, the concubine's knowledge is limited, if there is anything overstepping, please forgive the master. ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Maybe you have been holding back for too long, and today I finally found this opportunity." The catfish effect you mentioned is actually very good, it seems that your efforts have really not been in vain these days! ”

Liu Ru's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Being able to provide advice to the master is what the concubine is most happy about." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and suddenly said: "By the way, if so, which direction do you think I should develop now?" Well, that is, in which direction should we attack? ”

Liu Ru hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "In military affairs, the concubine does not dare to comment on herself. ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Just talk about it." ”

Liu Ru pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "With the meaning of the concubine, the lord should first take the Dengzhou Mansion, and then integrate Dongjiang Town, waiting for the opportunity to seize Jiangnan as the best policy." ”

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully: "Why? ”

Liu Ru said eloquently: "The lord now controls Laizhou Mansion, and if he goes west, he will inevitably capture Qingzhou Mansion." But there is a king of Heng in Qingzhou Mansion. If the Heng Palace's Mansion is captured, the court will lose face. This was unacceptable to the imperial court. Therefore, the imperial court will inevitably continue to fight back. Of course, the master's troops are not afraid of the counterattack of the imperial court, but the continuous arrival of the imperial court's army makes the master's army in a state of battle all the time, which will inevitably distract the master's attention, and many other things are difficult to carry out smoothly. ”

"Once the battle is protracted, the daily cost will also increase significantly. Due to the influence of the battle front, refined salt and other materials may not be sold smoothly. What's more, in addition to King Heng of Qingzhou, there are also King De of Jinan, King Lu of Yanzhou, if the lord controls the entire territory of Shandong, it will expel the three princes, and the impact will be too great. After all, the current orthodoxy in the world is still in the imperial court. Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly claim the throne, the concubine thinks that it is better for the lord not to do it directly to the royal family. ”
