Chapter 953: Ridiculous, but true

It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to sit on the country, which has been a recognized fact since ancient times.

The more people who can be cheeky and do everything behind their backs, the higher the possibility of obtaining the country, so the truly benevolent people since ancient times are usually the stepping stones of others.

After obtaining the country, it is no longer possible to sit firmly on the country by violence alone, and many means can no longer be used, and the thick black means are converged, and the strategy of Huai Rou is carried out, but many rulers who once achieved the country do not realize this, and those who still use violent means in everything usually do not have a lasting rule over the country.

The first generation laid down the country and knew how to rely on the policy of softness to stabilize the hearts of the people, but because the choice of the successor was inappropriate, the rulers who succeeded later were either stupid or in a hurry, and there were many examples of the second generation of state power dying. For example, Qin II and Sui II are two more famous examples, and there are many examples that are not famous at all.

Looking at the history of China, there has never been a shortage of heroes and heroes, but there are very few people who can really do things, so there are also the words "current situation".

What is the current situation? Isn't it just timing and fortune, choosing the right approach at the right time, and having enough luck in itself, to make things happen.

The people are determined, then they should not start a big project, for example, the choice of the Liu Han regime is to reuse the Huang Lao school and implement the national policy of resting with the people.

Resting with the people is nothing more than the government does not pay additional levies, and the tax policy also implements a low-tax strategy, and the people are a laissez-faire status quo. Under the conditions of this policy, the current situation of the people in the early Han Dynasty was that the heroes in the countryside were frequent, and there were also big heroes among the rangers. Whatever contradictions arise among the people are the affairs of the common people themselves, and the hatred is not transferred to the government, that is, the internal contradictions between the people, and the government then uses this contradiction to operate and achieve the goal of stabilizing the rule.

The great chaos is followed by great governance, usually because of a sharp decline in the population. The need for land was minimized, and many of the founding regimes had the example of Liu Han's room in the past, and almost all of them learned to do the same, and some of them succeeded, but they were not without failures. Regimes that succeed have basically resisted external pressure, while regimes that have not succeeded have almost perished under external pressure.

At the beginning of the establishment of the empire, it was not that no one mentioned the national policy of resting with the people, and it was planned to spend at least thirty years to precipitate, and use the passage of time to get the common people of the world accustomed to the new ruling regime. However, the ruler of the empire was LΓΌ Zhe. is a person who is accustomed to a high rhythm of life, let alone precipitation for 30 years, and he can't calm down for three years. In addition, Lu Zhe is very clear about the current situation, he has not done anything for thirty years, and the Huns, who have already shown their hideousness, should destroy the Western Regions in the west and conquer the Eastern Hu in the east, and after the entire grassland is conquered by Maoton, what will the empire face?

"It's not unpaid conscription, the empire also values military merit." Lu Zhe smiled at the generals and colonels: "The empire does not recruit soldiers in the form of conscription. Force them to go to war. ”

The generals are all nodding, and they are the ones who have the most say in this.

One of the major reforms in the armed forces is the emergence of military salaries. From unpaid conscription to paid employment, becoming a soldier is no less than working at home, and the military pay is enough to support the expenses of a family, which is an unprecedented change in history.

In addition to military salaries, there are allowances in wartime, and there are follow-up pensions for disability and even war death. It is equivalent to further relieving the soldiers' worries.

The Imperial Army also had a policy of going into private ownership after sixty percent of battlefield captures were handed over.

There is a military salary in peacetime, an allowance in wartime, a bereavement pension for the dead in war, and a private property for seizures. What is the current situation caused by a series of national policies? It is anyone who has a little courage to sharpen his head and want to join the army.

"So even though every family has a bit of a trivial matter, the families in Guanzhong don't want their children to retire from the army." The lieutenant sighed: "There are some more troublesome things that the women in Guanzhong have with the slaves...... It's ......."

The man in the family is not there, the housewife is lonely, and the slave has a little means, and the dry firewood meets the fire, which leads to the appearance of reluctance?

"It's okay, the distress is that the man is not pregnant in the housewife, this will be a big deal." The lieutenant had a bitter face: "That's why the last general said, can you give more holidays to Sergeant Guan." ”

It's a little weird, but it's definitely a fact, these days I don't attach much importance to chastity, unmarried women have sex with people~ things are not heinous things, and men don't care too much about getting women who don't guarantee chastity. In addition, it is normal for widows to remarry this year, and the government even encourages widows to remarry, and does not encourage widows to live alone for the sake of festivals.

What is the cause of this phenomenon? It is nothing more than the constant wars in the pre-Qin period in ancient times, as long as men have the possibility of going to the battlefield, they can not be guaranteed to come back alive when they go to the battlefield, what is the common phenomenon for men to do something with the women they like before going to the battlefield, and in order to increase the population, it is impossible for the government to encourage widows to stay at home and not marry.

The men in the family are still there, and the housewives who stay at home are reluctant to live with others, which is not something that can be ignored. Men who have always returned home find that their wives are reluctant, and it is a great luck to be able to reconcile and separate, and there are more cases of beating their wives to death.

A man in a family is serving in the army, but the wife who stays at home is a mischief, if it is an individual case, it will naturally not have much impact, and if it happens too much, it will not only affect the people, but also the impact on the army.

"With ...... Slaves?! Lu Zhe asked with a stern face: "There are many cases?" ”

There were slave groups in Guanzhong, both before and after the Shang Dynasty reform, and a group of slaves were liberated when the Shang Dynasty changed the law, but in the subsequent conquest, each family obtained new slaves, so it was not uncommon for families to have slaves.

The empire was established, some policy changes were made, but there was no emancipation of slaves, after all, those slaves were the private property of some families, even the state could not take them, right?

Fanxian is the county guard in charge of civil affairs, but he was present, and when he saw the eyes of the lieutenant looking at him, he immediately said to Ai Ai: "No...... Many. ”

A breath sounded, and it must have been a lot to make a county guard say the word "a lot".

"When the First Emperor was there. The young and strong people in Guanzhong are either serving in the conscription or the military, and they rarely have the possibility of returning home, and they are generally away from home for a long time. Fanxian also had a bitter face: "The young and strong have almost been evacuated, and they have not returned home for several years or even more than ten years, and there are many girls to be married in Guanzhong, and the age of most of the unmarried women has shown a trend of being older." Married wives stay alone in the empty house...... This ......"

It was the first time that Lu Zhe had heard such a report. I also asked a number of people in other places, and the situation was different from region to region.

"It's a common phenomenon......"

This time, not only the people in Guanzhong smiled bitterly, but also the people in other regions also had expressions that didn't know what to say.

Women are afraid of loneliness, and when they are lonely, someone will comfort them, what kind of story will happen, how should this be said?

"Disarmament, disarmament is about to be disarmed." Of course, Lu Zhe also had a bitter face, and he said worriedly: "During the period of the army's holiday and family vacation, there are bloodshed in various places...... It is estimated that it will not be less. ", looked at Fanxian. Q: "Are there any charters?" ”

Fanxian said that some of the common cases are handled, and once the man who returns home finds that his wife is with someone, there are few cases of peaceful treatment. He added: "If the commoners negotiate privately, most of them are compensated by a third party, and the husband and wife are reconciled. Slave...... You're basically going to be killed. ”

It's not an exception, it's a common phenomenon, waiting for the man in the family to go back, how much should happen? It is conceivable that large social impacts will occur, but it is difficult to say what kind of effects will be caused.

Lu Zhe kept smiling bitterly. Since ancient times, the private affairs of the family and the government have been difficult to manage, and they have already sensed that there will be a lot of bloodshed. However, how to deal with it is destined to become difficult.

"The soldiers serve, but the women ......" Meng Tian licked his dry lips and said: "The army's heart is difficult to settle, Your Majesty has to think about it." ”

Of course, Lu Zhe also knew this, and was already thinking about how to appease the army.

"Things have happened, think about what is going to happen and deal with it properly. Isn't it ......" Zhang Liang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Should we imagine avoiding similar things?" ”

The men of the people have not returned for a long time because of their own affairs, and that is their own business. Men serve in the military, and situations happen in the family, although it is not the responsibility of the authorities. But why can't you push it all away, it's difficult to put an end to it, after all, the woman is not a criminal, can she still send someone to keep an eye on it?

"Indoctrination, strengthen indoctrination." Zhang Liang probably has some clues: "The Qin army has a policy that allows family members to visit the garrison camp ......"

The Qin army had such a policy that the families of the soldiers were allowed to visit the garrison camp, but it was only possible to garrison the troops in the hinterland, and it was not encouraged to go to war too far.

In addition, there is a reason why the Qin State encourages family members to visit the soldiers, except for some things, the Qin soldiers are privately prepared from clothes to weapons, and the food in the army is also treated differently according to the different titles and official positions, and the Qin soldiers who have not reached the official position or title have to spend their own money if they want to have better treatment.

Qin soldiers often need to spend money to improve their food in the army so that they can have enough physical strength to keep up with the consumption. Some additional tasks, such as repairing broken weapons, repairing torn clothes, etc., all require money.

The non-commissioned officers do not want to go home and can go home, and when they run out of money, they usually ask their fellow villagers who have the opportunity to go home to tell their families, and then their families entrust them to bring money to the soldiers. What should people who don't have a fellow country? Basically, there will be a post station system in the army to help the soldiers deliver letters home at a fixed time, which has become a way to ask for money from the family.

The family knew that the Qin people who served in the army needed money, and if they did not have a trustee, they could only go to the camp where their family was located in person, so it became a habit for civilians to visit the soldiers serving in the army.

Zhang Liang introduced a lot, and finally said: "Previously, this kind of behavior was not set up by the military as a policy, maybe the empire can draft relevant laws to become a fixed national policy." ”

As soon as the words fell, the people present did not express their opinions immediately, they all thought with a face.

When Lu Zhe was serving in the Qin army, he experienced large-scale visits, and he was very difficult at that time, and he hoped that his uncle would show up and bring some money or warm clothes, but in the end the uncle did not appear. If he hadn't met Li Liang and Xu Yang later, and got the help of the two, he probably wouldn't have survived that winter.

Lu Zhe, who became the emperor, took care of his uncle's family, but he did not have high-standard treatment, the reason was that the uncle did not contact him again after he threw him in the army, not because he was cold-hearted. Li Liang and Xu Yang, who have helped him repeatedly, didn't they get his feedback later?

People who have tasted it for a long time finally have a little reaction, and a voice of approval has appeared one after another.

Obviously, it is a policy to prevent women ~ spring ~ heart ~ swing ~ Yang, although it is impossible to satisfy everyone, just like the troops going to the Western Regions and the grasslands are difficult to take care of, but most of the imperial troops are stationed in the homeland and can always take care of most people.

The current army does not exclude women in the barracks, such as military traders, who generally take some women to do skin ~ meat ~ business, and the soldiers can go there when they have money and are not on duty. The various warring states, like the previous Qi army, their armies even carried government-run battalions ~ prostitutes anytime and anywhere, after all, this is one of Guan Zhong's biggest achievements in changing the law in Qi State, that is, selling ~ prostitution ~ legalization.

For a long time, the basis of LΓΌ Zhe's policy is to let more people share the dividends, and this set of policies allows LΓΌ Zhe to become the emperor of a huge empire from obscurity, because there are benefits in participation, uniting all those who can be united, making these people willing to follow and willing to contribute.

Now faced with the hidden concern that it may cause serious social unrest, Lu Zhe once again showed his open-minded and generous character, saying: "The government will fund all families who want to go to the army to visit their families, and try to ensure their safety and needs along the way, as well as at post stations and official institutions." ”

Everyone present was basically nodding, not to mention that the current treasury is abundant, even if the national treasury is insufficient, it is necessary to squeeze out some funds, thinking that this may be able to reduce the follow-up trouble.

"In this way, the flow of people is ...... It's too big. Li Si once again played the role of pouring cold water: "The population flow is large, and if it is not handled properly, it will ......", the words are not exhausted, but they can be heard.

"It's a good reminder. It is necessary to first test the armed forces in various localities and try to make sure that nothing goes wrong. Lu Zhe looked at Li Si with appreciative eyes and said, "Since the Qing family has expected this aspect, and the Qing family is the court captain, then the Qing family will preside over it." ”

Li Si replied respectfully, "No!" But in my heart I was in ecstasy. If this is done, how many people should be grateful? In addition, if he lives up to expectations, he is also showing the emperor his ability to do things. (To be continued.) )
