Chapter 118: Uncle's Family
"My father just sighed that the first emperor's heart was too soft, and he didn't take advantage of Chengping to rectify military discipline." Zhao said.
That's fair.
When the war comes, for example, at present, Li Liangzuo has repeatedly invaded on a large scale, and the military discipline will be rectified, and if it is not done well, it will cause even worse consequences.
Therefore, it is best to rectify military discipline in peacetime, even if there is a commotion in the army, it can be suppressed in time, in fact, as long as there is no external pressure in peacetime, the army will not dare to have a commotion.
If the military discipline was strict, there would not be so many stories.
"Your Highness, in fact, the best model of the country is eight words."
"Those eight words?"
"Both civil and military, elite soldiers and simple government. By simplifying government affairs, government decrees will be implemented smoothly, improving efficiency and saving unnecessary floating costs. Does Your Highness remember that Pang Gong was in charge of the army in Yanzhou? ”
"Know a little."
If someone in the army breaks the law, he will cut off his limbs, or cut his abdomen, or split his limbs, or beat him to death. Dozens of punishments were punished, and military discipline was solemn. Who dares to break the law? It was that Song Ji who came to Pang's army, and he also didn't dare to make bad ideas.
As soon as Pang Gong left, military discipline gradually slackened. Why? ”
"The next official has softened."
"This is only a superficial reason, the main reason is that the treatment is too thin, but in fact it is not too thin, but their family lives in a big city, and the cost is too high, so once the chief is soft, the old situation will recur. Your Highness, do you remember the incident between Duke Wen and Duke Pang cutting troops? ”
"This king also knows that 80,000 soldiers will be cut into civilians or their salaries will be reduced by half."
"It's still too little, Zhenzong dealt with the southern invasion of Liao and the rise of Li Jiqian, looted the strong people for the forbidden soldiers, the number of forbidden soldiers was only about 500,000, and Zhenzong continued to cut to more than 400,000 in the last 6 years, but now the minister heard that the national forbidden army seems to have 700,000."
"About six hundred and ninety thousand."
"And how many more soldiers are there?"
Zhao Ji's face was bitter, and there were nearly 500,000 soldiers.
"How to crack the army when the army is redundant?"
"yes, that's a big problem."
"Elite soldiers are only one aspect, without good generals, no matter how good the soldiers are, they are useless. Just like the group of soldiers under Chen Qingzhi who went north, were they really all tiger warriors at the beginning? But it's not enough to have a famous general, and look at the fate of Ran Tianwang. ”
Were there no famous generals in the Song Dynasty?
As long as a dozen famous generals will come out, Zhang Kang Diqing during Song Renzong, Wang Shaozhang Kai later, and Yue Fei later. But is it good to use? Especially after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty was so dangerous that Yue Fei was unjustly killed.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of system.
As soon as this system is reversed, names will emerge.
But this system remains unchanged, Wang Anshi can collect 50 million savings a year, but without Sima Guang, the Song Dynasty will perish. As the weather turns cold in the future, the Jurchens will want to go south, and Yuanmeng will also want to go south, how many waves of attacks can they resist?
The ultimate goal of Wang Anshi's change is to strengthen the army and the country, but if this system does not change, the final result will be that Xining will be defeated in the summer, and this little Zhao Ji will be angry to death.
The truth is the same as what Wang Ju said about Ma Zheng, what is the purpose of raising horses, it is for the cavalry, not to train cavalry, only to know how to raise horses, and to change around on the horse, there is a fart.
This is not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although he collected wealth, and indeed made the people miserable, but the Huns were also defeated, in exchange for the northern peace, so that the whole nation used Han as the clan name!
Zhao Ji's face became even more bitter.
Although he is still young, he knows that this is not as simple as he says, a move will cause great trouble, and he is only a prince.
"Wang Ju, don't scare King Ying." Zhao Niannu said gently.
In fact, she was a little proud in her heart, when Wang Ju was in the future, she repeatedly said that Wang Ju was very great, and her nephew was suspicious.
But even he still underestimated Wang Ju, and he was great at fighting on that mountain road, but now he can't even get up.
In fact, the two of them are a little wrong, and their age is not critical, at least they are better than Wei Qing. The main one is in Shaanxi, the other is in the capital, and if the opportunity is missed, it will be missed. Otherwise, Zhao Niannu's identity will be helpful to Wang Ju.
The first one is her princess, the concubine of the Song Dynasty is a little sad, if you are not a concubine, you can't be a high-ranking official, Wang Yiyong married the fifth daughter of Song Taizong, and she was a privy envoy for n years, but she was a dumb privy envoy.
The main bloodline is too close, and Zhao Zhen has never had a child, Wang Yiyong can participate in the battle of the emperor's heir, so he must avoid it.
However, Zhao Shu has no relationship, several sons, although he is Zhao Zhen's righteous son, there are several generations in the bloodline. If someone marries Zhao Niannu, he is still a concubine, but he can only be said to be a relative.
Why did the late Song Dynasty use Gao Zunyu, Li Xian, and Tong Guan, and the literati could not fight well, and they did not dare to use military generals to lead the army, and they did not use eunuchs and relatives? This is also a kind of balance, a balance for Wenchen. It's a pity that Gao Zunyu himself is not angry.
Wang Juruo thought deeply and could come up with this layer of stakes. But he also has his own limits to being a human being, and he hasn't figured it out yet.
Can those who go back not be frightened?
Zhao Ji took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, what about your bamboo paper?" ”
This thing is also ridiculous, causing such a big storm, but you can't see a single piece of bamboo paper on the market.
"It's going to be next summer, or even autumn."
"So late?"
"Bamboo is widely sourced and low-cost, so it has to be a long drying process."
"Do you really want those businessmen to donate 10,000 pieces of paper a year?"
"Is that a joke?"
"How could those merchants agree?" Zhao Ji felt incredible, in his heart, businessmen were black-hearted, and they would do whatever it took to make money.
"Let's channel," Wang Ju brought out his theory of family and country again: "I said it, and they will understand." ”
"That's all."
"It's not like this, the main Yanzhou businessmen have no power, and if they make a profit, they can't guarantee it. Not only that, but I also asked them to co-opt a deed share, promising to give him a quarter of the profit in the future. ”
"So much?" Zhao Ji asked in surprise. Wang Ju didn't say specific, but he could also think of it, this person took a quarter at once, and the rest was only three-quarters, and more than a dozen businessmen had to share it, how could a quarter be too much?
"Otherwise, you can't keep it, Your Highness, guess what family this person is from?"
"I can't guess that."
"It's a child of the Mengcheng Gao family."
Zhao Niannu bent down and snickered.
"This, this ......" Zhao Ji couldn't keep quiet, it was his uncle's son who pulled it!
Seeing him suffocating, Zhao Niannu finally laughed.
"Your Highness, in fact, business is equally important, please remember the words of the minister, no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life."
