Chapter 294: Martial Arts (I)

Liu Xing shouted "Shut up", and what he said was reasonable, and Zhao Ding, Ouyang Xun and other cabinet ministers from the imperial examination had to really keep their mouths shut.

As soon as they shut up, Liu Xing immediately turned his head to look at Zong Ze and Zhang Suo, who had been leading soldiers for many years, and one of the first assistants and two second assistants immediately treated those ministers from literati as air and discussed how to formulate the "Martial Arts Law".

In terms of papers, Zong Ze is not inferior to Zhao Ding and others. In terms of jurisprudence, Zhang is not weak in any minister. In terms of what he has seen and heard, Liu Xing's thousand-year-old experience beyond the times is placed there.

This situation determines that those ministers can only be air and bystanders, and they are also destined to no longer be able to participate in the formulation of the "Armed Laws".

So a few hours later, when the meeting of the Heavenly Cabinet ended, a decree was issued from Wutai City, and a basic national policy related to the future of the country and the foundation of the society was determined.

The "Law of Military Preparation" was promulgated, and according to the provisions of this law, Liu Xing included all men who had reached the age of sixteen and graduated from schools at all levels into the system of van soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty.

However, unlike the previous van army, the new van soldiers are no longer regular and standing normal troops, but have become soldiers and horses that are only trained for three months every year during the agricultural slack season.

As for the former village soldiers, they no longer exist in the "Law of Martial Arts". Since it doesn't exist, it means that it has to be eliminated.

A two-tiered military system replaced the original Great Song Dynasty's old military system, which looked powerful but was actually riddled with holes, and was thus determined by the law.

If the military service system is changed, what benefits will those veterans get?

Liu Xing gave the following points to the interests of the veterans: First, many people in the army had to advance to the township soldiers and then seek opportunities to transfer to the Xiang army. In the end, it was possible to enter the forbidden army after a few years of excellent performance.

And after changing from a variety to two types of military service system. Liu Xing gave those veterans a favor, and if their children joined the army again, they could all directly enter the forbidden army or the border army.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. The children of the veterans under the shade have since taken a lot less than their old sons to take a big and difficult detour, which is the first benefit for the veterans.

Second, don't many veterans say that literati look down on military generals? Okay, this time Liu Xing officially positioned himself in the form of the law, and the civil master participated in the military and the main battle, and the literati could only supervise and assist the military generals in the army in the future, and no longer gave them the qualifications to be above the military generals.

The specific method is stipulated by Liu Xing as follows: Those who are not born in military affairs will not be awarded military posts, those who have not been in the army for many years will not be awarded high ranks, and those who have not made military merits will not be awarded the post of chief general.

Military generals at all levels in each army serve as the chief military general, and their subordinates are responsible to the commander-in-chief, and they must also obey the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, the lord will have the right to take his post first, and then report to the court to remove him from office.

If anyone dares to disobey the battle. Even the champion and the chief general have the right to immediately take it and hand it over to the Military Justice Department to judge him.

What this means is self-evident to those who are in the ranks. Liu Xing: This is the order and rules that should have existed in the Banzheng army, and no longer allows those literati who do not have much experience in leading troops to immediately override the generals at all levels with rich experience in the early battlefield as soon as they enter the army.

Once those literati want to seize power and make trouble, then I'm sorry, even if you are a relative of the emperor, you may be taken down by a military attache of seven or eight grades at any time, and then sent to the Department of Military Justice. Whatever the final outcome, at least the one who dared to make trouble never wanted to return to the army......

Third, the "Armed Forces Law" clearly stipulates that all veterans and military attaches who retire in the future will receive a generous refund payment even if they no longer provide the opportunity to transfer to other official positions.

How big is this transfer fee? The starting point is 15 acres of fertile land plus a seniority settlement fund based on his seniority, and a veteran who has completed his normal five-year military career can get an additional 60 dragon yuan on the basis of 15 acres of fertile land.

Sixty dragon dollars, when the dragon yuan had not officially begun to circulate. For many people do not know its actual value. Liu Xing also made a special mark on this point: a family of five will need a maximum of one and a half dragon dollars of silver dollars every month in the future. It can meet the needs of three meals a day.

Sixty dragon dollars of silver is equivalent to allowing a family of five to do nothing and sit there and eat for twenty months.

Three meals a day, when Liu Xing's elaboration came out, it unexpectedly caused a fluctuation. But this fluctuation is good, because the military and civilians who are accustomed to two meals a day know very well that they only eat two meals, in fact, they are often hungry......

In addition to the last of these three items, Liu Xing also gave the retired veterans an additional favor that literati did not have: those who have served for eight years are exempt from taxation for one year, those who have served for 12 years are exempt from tax for two years, and those who have served for 15 years are exempt from tax for three years. Those who have made meritorious contributions to the war will also be given tax exemption treatment for one to five years.

Confucian businessmen, whether they are shops run by the government or those who are unwilling to cooperate with the government, those who have their own ancestral craftsmanship and do the fundamentals, according to the decree issued by Liu Xing some time ago, all need to pay various taxes. It's low, but you have to pay it anyway.

But as soon as this article in "The Law of Martial Arts" came out, okay, wasn't it a literati cow in the past? In the future, I will take a look, after the martial arts no longer continue to be in the army, the evening scene will at least be much better than the literati.

Why? Because literati have to pay taxes. Even if the money is small when the tax is paid, it will not be more than the balance of the martial arts under the same operating income. After a long time, he will definitely no longer be able to compete with the warriors in terms of wealth.

As for fairness and unfairness, Liu Xing, Zong Ze and Zhang Suo were also afraid that those literati would take this as saying that the new dynasty was unfair to Confucianism and favored military generals. Therefore, at the end of this article, Liu Xing also deliberately standardized a line of words: civil officials can be lifelong, and military generals are difficult to die of old age, in order to ensure fair treatment, this rule is specified.

What does this mean, Liu Xing is telling those Confucian students: You have been suffering for ten years, and you can become a parent official. Once you enter the office, as long as you don't make a big mistake, you can basically be an official for life until you are old.

But military generals can't do it, they have to go home after a certain number of years, and there can't be generals for a lifetime. So, don't mess with me, that's fair. Whoever dares to make trouble is unreasonable!

Evil madness is nature, madness is the norm recently, after Liu Xing's such a standard comes out, not to mention those Confucian scholars in the government and the opposition who are not qualified to argue with Liu Xing head-on and agree on the government, and even several cabinet ministers in the DPRK and China are so frightened that they dare not say half a "no" word.

Because no one wants Liu Xing's evil disease to attack them after the attack, everyone is afraid that after Liu Xing goes crazy, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not recognize the momentum, and no one dares to sing against Liu Xing who wants to die when he goes crazy. (To be continued......)
