Since Wang Ju fought Chen Xiang, this time has finally been quiet.

But Wang Ju himself is also quiet, anyway, I am a villain, you can change the law, or oppose the change, it has nothing to do with me. I won't mess with you, but you don't want to.

But this didn't last long.

It won't take long for the Dongming County incident to break out, and the fight between the two factions will be even more tragic at that time. Also, Wang Ju heard that Wang Yan was about to go to Beijing. Wang Ju is not afraid of Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dian, they became "good friends" before the change, so he does not support the change, or does not support Wang Anshi's change, although Lu Huiqing does not like it, but he will not be angry.

As for Wang Anshi, where is he tall, so maybe he will put down his frame and communicate with himself, a hairy boy?

However, does Wang Yan need a frame? As long as this Yanai enters Beijing, he will definitely find himself. What to do then? Wang Yanei will not really be as unbearable as recorded in the history books, but he is indeed a relatively narrow-minded and extremely strong character. What happens if you refuse? Therefore, when the time comes, it will inevitably be an enemy on both sides.

In this case, there is only one strategy, thirty-six strategies, and the best plan is taken. It's good to leave the capital.

So no matter what changes Wang Anshi and they introduced, Wang Ju has been silent.

But now it's difficult.

Anyway, today in the Yanhe Palace, Lu Huiqing took the initiative to stand on his side, cast a peach and repay him, himself = are you embarrassed to be silent again?

Wang Ju drank tea and sorted out his thoughts.

After most of the day, he said: "Brother Jifu, if you really want to implement the armor protection law, it is best to implement the following articles. ”

"Which ones?"

"Article 1: The Baoding family is exempt from paying taxes or half of the taxes."

The first one alone made Lu Huiqing frown. state in order to fill the pits. It's too late to collect money. Also tax-free!

"Article 2: Don't let Bao Ding bring his own weapons. The swords, guns, sticks, and bows used in military training must be provided by the imperial court. ”

Article 3 also stipulates a military law, if Bao Ding's family is indeed married or mourned, Bao Ding can be allowed to take leave, of course, if he pretends to have a marriage or funeral illness in his family to evade military training, he can be severely punished. The head of the military training coach must not extort Baoding under any pretext, otherwise he will be severely punished. In addition, Bao Ding is allowed to make a report, and if Bao Ding receives a report from Bao Ding that the head of the sect is lawless, the official must send a special person to inquire about it. ”

"Fourth, no one who is a merchant or a worker, or who is engaged in other occupations, who has no time to train in the autumn and winter, and who is an only child in the family, shall not be Latin under any pretext."

"Article 5, in addition to the autumn and winter training, Baoding can patrol the township to prevent theft at ordinary times. Jointly protect the safety of the neighbors, but not under any pretext. Let the Baoding be engaged in all kinds of forced labor. ”

"Article 6, some subsidies of the imperial court shall not be deducted by the officials and heads of the prefectures and counties for any reason, otherwise they will be severely punished."

"How can this be done?" Zeng Bu was dumbfounded.

"Why did Han Gong perform the three dings in Shaanxi at that time? He is the first ruler, doesn't he cherish his reputation? There is no other reason. The imperial court raised a large number of forbidden soldiers, and the annual cost was amazing, and the combat effectiveness was poor. Therefore, Han Gong wanted to imitate the military system of the Tang Dynasty, increase the militia, and reduce the prohibition of soldiers. Then the state expenditure will be greatly reduced, and the deficit will be gradually made up. ”

At that time, Han Qi was also forced.

So no matter how much trouble Sima Guang had, Han Qi persevered. This is an experiment, and if it succeeds, then the country's finances will quickly improve.

However, in the battle of Dashun City, Cai Ting and Wang Ju did not send volunteers to the battlefield, Han Qi had no choice, although Han Qi did not like it, but Cai Ting and Wang Ju did this, it was indeed that the combat effectiveness of volunteers was too poor, and it might not work on the battlefield, and maybe it could drag down their comrades.

Anyway, victory is the truth!

"Before the actual official family ascended the throne, he was curious about the battle of Wangjiazhai when I was a teenager, and deliberately summoned me, and I said that Han Gong's three Ding stabbed one and the government soldiers. There are many reasons for the success of the army in the early Tang Dynasty, first of all, the Tang Dynasty won a hundred battles, as long as it was victorious, there would be gains, such as Pei Xingjian's battle in the Western Regions, he captured a lot of wealth, and it was briefly recorded in the annals. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population was sparse, and the state could allocate a large amount of arable land to the soldiers, which could ensure that the families of the soldiers had no worries about food and clothing. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the price of goods was low, and the state gave the government soldiers enough money and silk to meet their needs to buy horses, weapons and other materials. There is also the most important one, in the past, it was mostly a conscription system, and everyone did not reject it psychologically. So later the government military system collapsed. By the time of the Ming Emperor, in order to meet the needs of the opening side, he had to let go of the various sections, which formed the scourge of the Anshi Rebellion. ”

"Then let's talk about the Western Xia and the Liao State, these two countries are also mostly conscription systems, but they are different from our dynasty. First, although the people are fierce, they are relatively lazy, have a lot of free time, and have enough time to train the troops. The second is that they have a low cost of using soldiers, the people are poor, and they will not be like our dynasty, there is no benevolence to drag down, self-restraint, as long as they win, they will plunder on a large scale, especially the invasion of our Central Plains Dynasty, maybe plundering 20 pieces of wealth, for our soldiers, may not be eye-catching, but for them, it is a huge wealth, very satisfied. But that's it, they also gradually began to give some subsidies to the resident soldiers. Therefore, I cannot imitate it. ”

When Lu Huiqing heard this, he asked, "Zi'an, but Zheng Baiqu's tens of thousands of Baojie troops, how to explain it?" ”

"That's a good question, not only Zheng Baiqu's tens of thousands of Baojie troops, if this battle can prove that those tens of thousands of Baojie troops are successful, then the imperial court will set up more similar border troops in the future. In addition, there are archers placed by Cai Gong, Wang Shao, and Chong Ge on the border. ”

"Why can those Baojie archers ensure combat effectiveness, but Baoding and Yiyong cannot? First of all, the archers, they are border people, they are very fierce in themselves, secondly, they are exempt from all taxes, and finally there is a large amount of barren land on the border, even if they are widely planted and harvested, only one season a year, they will also get a huge harvest, and if they only plant one season a year, they can spare a lot of time to train and prepare for war. Jifu Gong, this can be understood, that is a copy of the soldiers of the early Tang Dynasty. Can the imperial court exempt Bao Ding Yiyong from all taxes and give them a large amount of arable land? ”

"Besides, the tens of thousands of Baojie troops, they don't have much arable land, but because of Zheng Baiqu. It's all fertile land. High yield. They are also exempt from a lot of taxes, so I can count their income. At that time, the first-class fertile land was allocated 25 mu of land for a soldier, with an average of one and a half seasons, and at least 60 stone of grain could be harvested, and it was planned to sell 40 stone of grain, because the overall grain price in Shaanxi was slightly more expensive than that in the inland, and this piece could get more than 10 yuan of income. And also. If you are diligent, you can plant two acres of mulberry hemp and get nearly ten percent of income. In addition, the imperial court pays more than ten yuan of military salaries every year, so the annual income is nearly forty yuan. In the past, the salary of a Baojie army plus subsidies was nearly 30 times. However, the subsidy is the place where the generals above deduct the most, and often the soldiers below do not get half of it. Now that the soldiers are cultivating their own crops, how can the generals above withhold them? Coupled with the full tax exemption, almost all of this income goes into their pockets. ”

"Although they worked so hard, they didn't pay as much as the forbidden soldiers, but they stayed in the country. Most of them are self-sufficient. The income of forty guan is equivalent to the income of one hundred guan of the forbidden soldiers in the capital. And even if they die. These lands also belong to their families' Yongye fields. In this way, they still don't have to worry about their families? Do you still need to let your wife live as a military prostitute? ”

"As for the weapons, Yiyong and Baoding have their own weapons, and some leaders even get inferior weapons and forcibly sell them to Yiyong at a high price. However, where are the tens of thousands of Baojie troops, the weapons are provided by the imperial court. ”

"In the end, when it comes to military training, Yiyong was forcibly arrested for training, but the pitiful subsidies were also deducted, and they were often blackmailed by the head of the sect, and the most unlucky ones were forcibly used as box soldiers to do heavy forced labor, maybe they were still put on the battlefield to sell their lives, did Yiyong have the mood to train soldiers? Mindset is a problem! But the tens of thousands of Baojie troops are different, the state has given such generous benefits, from the beginning of entering the Baojie army, they are ready to become soldiers, and even training and preparing for war is more important than their farming. Even if production is delayed because of military training, because of income, you can hire short-term workers to reduce the burden on your family. ”

"Therefore, the training time is longer, and they will not be mentally repulsed. Because they may enter the battlefield at any time, the leaders of the Baojie army in each battalion will not train like a child's play, and all kinds of bad habits may continue to exist, but they are less than those on the side of the volunteers. If the training is serious, the training time is long, the mentality is good, and there are no worries about the future, then the combat effectiveness can be truly formed. ”

"Once the combat effectiveness is formed, the imperial court can promote similar border armies, and then the goal of eliminating forbidden soldiers and saving huge military expenses can be achieved."

"The intentions of the armor protection law are good, one is to prevent theft, in order to ensure the safety of the township, and the other is to gather and train through guò, so that you can find brave and strong people from all over the country, let them enter the forbidden army, and make the forbidden army stronger. However, Brother Jifu, do you know that the life of grassroots peasants is heavy in taxes, facing the loess with their backs to the sky all year round, and even in winter, they also need to work, hoeing and watering and fertilizing the wheat. However, the state does not reduce or reduce taxes, and asks them to pay for their own weapons, and maybe there is also the harsh extortion of the sect leader, and the production and labor are delayed, can they not worry about the people? ”

Of course, if the state is financially well-off, then all the baoding taxes are exempted, weapons are provided, only the baoding who really have time to train and patrol the township, the illegal behavior of the sect leader is put an end to, and then the training subsidy is provided, then it is enough, and the right is the welfare provided by the state to a part of the people.

However, if the state has this finance, the country will not be able to pass the tax exemption in the first place.

Besides, can Baoding prepare for war, can he prevent a large-scale uprising? You must know that when Cai Jing was the prime minister, the number of Baoding was even larger, but Song Jiang Fangla rebelled, where was Baoding? It's not as good as the original strong man. At least when Wang Lun rebelled, he was killed by a strong man in Hezhou. As for preparing for war, it is even more of a joke, when the Jin people go south, the country is about to be destroyed, where is Baoding?

If we cannot prepare for war, we will not be able to achieve the goal of cutting and banning troops and saving expenses. Besides, now Wang Ju, the border army of the Baojie Army, has been launched to cut the forbidden soldiers.

So what's the point of launching the armor protection law on a large scale and mobilizing the public?

This can only show that Wang Anshi really doesn't understand military affairs, such as the Baoma Law.

Can war horses be handed over to farmers to raise, handed over to farmers to raise, they must be used to plow the fields, to pull things, it's not that war horses can't pull things, it's no problem to pull occasionally, load for a long time, and lack of places to slip horses, can this horse still run when it is raised on the battlefield?

Otherwise, where is the difference between war horses and pack horses?

However, Wang Ju comforted again: "In the fourth year of Zhiping, I gave the official family a piece of music and talked about a few articles. First of all, it is this soldier, the first step is to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and to check the number of places to eat empty salaries, which has been achieved. The second step is to divert water from the river to silt the fields. Some of the forbidden troops were transferred to the suburbs. Give its field. Increase the income of his family, reduce his family expenses, and his family can have no worries, so that morale can be high, and in the countryside, it also reduces the glitz and glitz brought by the capital. The silting of the fields began, but the transfer to the suburbs has not yet been implemented. The third step is to increase some of the border troops and further eliminate the forbidden troops. Now Zheng Baiqu's tens of thousands of Baojie troops are a good experiment. If all three steps are successful, the country's military spending will be greatly reduced, and the overall strength of the army will be further improved. The combat effectiveness of the forbidden soldiers is really getting worse and worse. ”

"The second strategy is to eliminate the quota of officials, but we can't directly cut them, which will inevitably cause an uproar. So my strategy is to reduce the number of jinshi and the number of graces. These two steps are also being implemented gradually, but the suburbs are very slow. ”

"The third policy is the reform of Fangchang River Crossing, which has already worked."

"But these three strategies are still impossible to achieve quick results, but on the other side, Western Xia is constantly invading. The state has a huge deficit. Therefore, I don't support the Jiefu Gong Reform. But there will be no objections, including this armor protection law. Why? There are more and more ills in the DPRK, and we are becoming more and more poor and weak, and it is better to do it than not to do it well, but at least we have done it, and if we work hard, there is still hope for the country. ”

Lu Huiqing said: "So, Zi'an, are you still biased towards the side that supports the change?" ”

Wang Jucai is not fooled.

He said: "Wrong, don't support or oppose, because I haven't figured it out yet, I haven't figured it out myself, how can I support it?" ”

…………

"Official, it's really not good, you can bring Qiongniang to Gyeongju as well."

Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let Qiongniang go to Gyeongju after the New Year." ”

In fact, if the hostage is not a hostage, Zhao Ji definitely doesn't care, mainly to guard against other people who have a heart, but Qiong Niang doesn't care.

But you have to wait for the New Year to go, you will leave the capital soon, but you will not go to Gyeongju immediately, the first stop is Luoyang, one is to prepare some materials in Luoyang, the other is to wait for Zhang Kai to meet, and then the two want Luoyang to formulate the general policy, so that they can use the target of the army, the allocation of materials. Otherwise, it will be too late after going to Gyeongju.

Then go to Sanyuan, gather tens of thousands of Baojie and change clothes, so that they can set off, and they have to set an example along the way, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers.

In fact, Wang Ju also began to degenerate, for example, when it was hot in summer, Wang Ju purchased a lot of ice cubes and put them in the room to cool down, and there was no delicacies from the mountains and seas in the food, but the meat was constant.

But when you get to the army, you must endure hardships, so that you can win the love of the soldiers, be used by Wang Ju, and give full play to their maximum potential after going to the battlefield.

How did Qiongniang accompany her at that time?

"Official, really 300,000 soldiers and horses?"

"God knows, there may not be, just like Cao Cao threatened to go down to the south of the Yangtze River with a million troops, is there a million army?"

"But this time you must not be at the forefront?"

"Concubine, don't worry, last time I was only the magistrate of Huachi, and now I am the magistrate of Gyeongju, if it is like last time, the entire army will be in chaos."

However, there is no need to charge and fight on the front line irrationally, but you still need to stand at the front line and personally command when you are critical, so that you can greatly boost morale.

"Official, the concubine is still very worried."

If it weren't for Lu Huiqing's leakage, Wang Ju would have left the capital, and he wouldn't have said this 300,000, 300,000 enemy, can it not make people worry?

Wang Ju comforted: "It's okay, the more enemies, the heavier the logistical burden, it will not last, I have the city wall in hand, what is the danger?" ”

"What if they have enough supplies?"

"That's okay, I still have the biggest hole card to tell."

"What hole cards, let's talk about it, the concubine body won't tell it."

This is related to the safety of her husband, and Concubine Li will definitely not talk about it, so Wang Ju also said it in Concubine Er's ear.

"Then it doesn't matter," Concubine Li said happily.

"This time you can rest assured, this trip seems dangerous, but it is really not dangerous. On the contrary, it is to take credit. With the merit, even if the imperial court dismissed me as a poor official of the Shaanxi pacification envoy after the war, Zhizhou would not be dismissed, and the rank and rank of the official should be promoted. Promoted and rich. ”

The concubine grinned.

"I've been promoted and made a fortune, lady, why don't we make love and celebrate in advance?" (To be continued......) R1292
