Chapter 292: Prime Minister
In fact, there is more than this measure!
What he talked to Zhang Kai was, that was the measure.
Cut some of the forbidden soldiers, and transfer some of the forbidden soldiers to the countryside, save the living costs of their families, and then moderately increase the number of border troops. Then the combat effectiveness of the entire Song army will be stronger, and the military spending will drop sharply.
But now I can't say that even if it's a good idea, if you encounter a thunderous person and misinterpret it repeatedly, God knows what it will be. Even if this border army tuntian system, Wang Ju didn't say anything, only said that there were thousands of soldiers in Sanbaiqu. If you want to go by yourself, and if you say you want to go, it has nothing to do with me.
And this model is not a real tuntian.
What is the tuntian, it is all sergeant farming, and it has nothing to do with the family, and it is a permanent military field.
This model is closer to the Tang Dynasty's Fubing Field.
So it also has a strict flaw, such as when the Peugeot soldier is old, or disabled, should he and his family be kicked out? So the government military system is so corrupt, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty the number of households was only two million, in fact, more than that, including a large number of hidden households, but only three or four million households, if the big Tang Dynasty, only this little population, many places are sparsely populated, because Shandong (east of Taihang Mountain) is sparsely populated, Wei Zheng used this to oppose Li Shimin's Feng Chan, afraid that the Hu people would see it, and have a contempt.
In this special case, the imperial court can give a large amount of arable land to the government soldiers to plant, and later the population became dense, and the government soldiers had no land at home, and their families could not support them, and they still had the heart to fight?
Now this kind of tuntian is similar.
But it's not a big problem.
Because it can last at least a few decades, if these decades still can't take the Western Xia, maybe the history of the Northern Song Dynasty will be re-enacted, and then the entire north will be gone, and there will be no Tuntian and Baojie Army.
After taking Western Xia, does the northwest still need so many soldiers? Or can the Western Regions, which can't even defeat a remnant of Yelu Dashi in the future, pose a threat to the Song Dynasty?
This is a more complete and enhanced version of the art of war.
However, there is one thing that Wang Ju didn't think clearly, that is, to directly lay off Yiyong, not to mention the armor protection law.
Sima Guang overthrew the Baojia Law, Cai Jing picked it up again, and as a result, the Jin people went south, where was Baoding?
Not only did it trap the people, but did the country really not spend money?
With this money, it is better to fund some non-governmental martial arts training troupes, and maybe it will have better results.
But is it possible to place some conscripts in a strict manner? Just like later generations, although it is a compulsory soldier, it is not a lifelong system, or a five-year system, or a ten-year system. Then the cost of using soldiers will be more economical.
This Wang Ju really hasn't thought it through.
These will be thrown sooner or later, but not at this time.
Wang Ju continued: "If the last part of the cultivated land is according to the past practice, the imperial court will definitely treat it as official land, or hand it over to the people to rent and plant, or turn it into professional land. However, we have to consider the particularity of Shaanxi, and that little rent does not matter, but how Shaanxi can produce more grain. The lower officials thought that they could take it out and sell it to the major main households of the merchants, so as to raise a batch of money and reduce the expenditure on canal repair. ”
"How can this be?" Peng Siyong said.
"Gong Peng, why does Gong Han put righteousness and bravery, doesn't Gong Han know about disturbing the people? It is also a measure to prevent the invasion of Western Xia. Now that the Western Xia have been taught repeatedly, and will make a comeback in a few years, can they still expect good luck to defeat them easily this time? If that army is careful, it will beat the 100,000 Liao army to the head. Therefore, if Zheng Guoqu is built early, it will have an immeasurable effect on Shaanxi and the entire Great Song Dynasty. The imperial court is still in financial difficulties, which is also an unfortunate move. Otherwise, please ask the third division to come up with 400 yuan of money, and there is no need to do so. ”
"Even so, how much arable land can be taken out, and how much money can be raised?"
"Peng Gong, a little less, the country's financial pressure will be reduced a little. And there is another measure, which can also reduce expenditures, transfer those 5,000 prisoners of war, and reduce a lot of manpower. If the envoy of Western Xia comes to ask for the release of prisoners of war, Han Gong will drag it for me for a while, not much, until the autumn, Zheng Guoqu will come out. ”
"Wang Ju, you still dare to fight the idea of prisoners of war!"
"Sima Gong, this time you misunderstood me, these prisoners of war were transferred, just let them work, I will definitely treat them well, I don't believe it, Sima Gong can send the guests at home to count the number of people, I promise that except for a very few work-related accidents, no one else will be missing a hair." Besides, they came to me to burn, kill, and plunder, but they were only reformed through small labor for a while, and then they were released back safely. It's just a small punishment. Sima Gong, my people of the Great Song Dynasty are people, and the people of the Western Xia Dynasty are also people, but my people of the Great Song Dynasty are my own people, my own children, and the people of the Western Xia are the people of the Western Xia people, not my people of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and righteousness, it is not the kind of indiscriminate benevolence of the Mohists. For example, if two children fall into a river, and their own children are at hand, but other people's children are far away, and then they don't save their own children, but run away to save other people's children, does such a person say that he is a good person, and he also says that he is a fool? ”
"Of course, maybe Xia Guan is young and has offended Sima Gong, and he hopes to forgive his sins. If these two laws are not allowed to pass, there is nothing the lower officials can do. If Han Gong is interested, Xia Guan can go down to take a look, and then plan some repair plans, and then estimate the repair cost. However, let the subordinate lead the people and soldiers to officially start the construction, and the subordinate official will not obey his fate. It is like the Liuta River, not to serve the imperial court, but to harm the imperial court and the people. ”
Let me practice, I will repair, and I really know a lot.
It is precisely because I understand that these conditions are not excessive, and if I don't agree, even if I refuse, it will be reasonable.
and also successfully showed his talent in front of so many important officials.
This remark was not in vain.
But how did Han Qi make a decision?
The finances were already tight, and the battle of Dashun City made another black hole, where can I draw out three or four million yuan.
Or according to Wang Ju's second plan, the money may be saved by half. This money can be squeezed out by squeezing it.
However, whether it was the open sale of cultivated land or the use of prisoners of war for labor, it was difficult for Han Qi.
After all, the imperial court also has to be subtle and face-saving, just like Xue Xiang that Ma Zheng and Shayuan moved out, but not for sale, but for rent. How hard it is to sell.
Keep the deliberations going.
…………
"Da Lang, has the imperial court ordered to come down?" Lu Ping asked.
Even if it's wrong to sell prisoners of war, it can be worth the credit. This time Li Liangzuo died, which was a great achievement. This time, I have to be promoted. Even if you don't get promoted, you can let everyone go back. Can't be left in the post house for more than ten days, is it a debriefing, or tossing people?
"What's the hurry? It just so happened that the New Year's Day was coming, and I wanted to give the order later so that I could spend a New Year's Day in the capital. ”
"The official family is seriously ill this year, so there is still a festive atmosphere?" The second eldest son said.
"Not necessarily," Wang Ju replied, Zhao Shu lives, and the common people think there, even if they die, the New Year will be lively. And didn't you come to the capital by yourself just to wait for that day?
"Today, Da Lang went to the Zhongshu Political Affairs Hall, what did Han Gong say?"
"Maybe the new appointment is to promote the official affairs of Sanbaiqu, or to promote the official affairs of Sanbaiqu, to promote the official affairs of Zheng Guoqu, and to promote the official affairs of Zheng Guoqu."
"How many positions?"
"It's one, it's just that the name given in the book is different, anyway, it's the same meaning."
"It's the petty official who repairs the canal," said Wild Dragon Basheng in disappointment.
"Baa Sheng, what do you know, this is not a small official, it is a big official, a big official." Lu Ping said.
"Lu Ping, you are all mistaken, it is just a bad official, there is no rank, just like the lieutenant envoy sent by the imperial court, if you investigate the murder case, you have the right to let all the relevant officials cooperate, but you have no right to intervene in any other affairs. But what grade of official position is it? It's not a grade, and when I return to the palace, I'm still a eunuch. ”
Generally, the person in charge of these affairs is the water supervisor. It seems that Zhou Liangru is the supervisor of Dushui, or will be the supervisor, but this is unlikely, because these two positions are from the eighth rank, and he is the eighth rank, and he cannot work hard to transfer from the northwest battlefield to the Sanbaiqu battlefield, and he will not be promoted but surrendered. The other is Dali Temple, but the Dali Temple is a high-level official, and it is not the same.
In short, it is enough to supervise Sanbaiqu with an official position of his own rank.
So Wang Ju recalled some of the Sanbaiqu knowledge in his memory.
Some remember, some don't.
However, Han Qi has more information in his hands, Wang Ju said that Zheng Guoqu is actually Sanbaiqu, it doesn't matter. This Sanbai Canal has been repaired from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, especially the General Wing built by the Tang Dynasty. However, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the war has been endless, coupled with the deterioration of the water and soil, the Jing River is steep and deep, and the mouth of the canal hangs, and the water cannot be reached, so this Sanbai Canal will not work.
Then Song Taizu sent the judge of the festival Shi Jiye to repair it, and built a weir in Jingkou with a fence stack wood, although the people benefited, but the repair was sloppy, and when it came to the flood season, it was washed away, so the people were annoyed by it.
When it came to Song Taizong, the common people strongly requested to restore the stone masonry "General Qiang" to alleviate the difficulty of repairing the weir every year, Zhao Kuangyi loved the people, and immediately responded to the call of the people, and sent the general to repair it, but the project was huge, and there was no way to love the people, so it was not completed.
A few years later, Chen Yaosu wrote again, saying that the original Zhengbai Second Canal irrigated 44,500 hectares of land, and now there are less than 2,000 hectares. So Zhao Kuangyi once again sent Emperor Fu Xuan of Dali Temple and He Liang of Guanglu Temple to repair, and the two went down to take a look and put forward five opinions, but for various reasons, they could not be implemented.
Then when it came to Song Zhenzong, the imperial court sent Dr. Taichang Shangbin to organize the repair, Shangbin repaired the water diversion channel of the Sanbai Canal, and restored some water-saving bucket gates, so that some people benefited.
However, he also only built a small part of the Sanbai Canal.
Therefore, these materials also prove that Wang Ju's words on paper are not false, if they are cultivated well, they can get 10,000 hectares of fertile land, and even benefit other tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land. This is still a conservative guarantee, otherwise there will be more fertile land.
In addition, the project cost is very large, and I am afraid that Wang Ju will estimate that the cost of three or four million yuan is slightly insufficient.
Of course, he didn't expect Wang Ju to really rebuild the Sanbai Canal, at most, like Shangbin Ye Qingchen, with a slight effect, and also try the water.
"Is this a big credit?" Wild Dragon asked.
"If it is repaired, the credit will be not small, and it can even be recorded in history, but the greatest credit is the credit of Han Gong. If it is not repaired well, it will be like the Liuta River, the Liuta River initiated by Duke Wen and Duke Fu, and finally something happened, Duke Wen and Duke Fu were not responsible, on the contrary, several officials who personally went down to preside over the repair of the river, Li Zhongchang and Zhang Huaien, were punished. ”
"How so?" The second eldest son said strangely.
"Normal, such as jade salt and bamboo paper, do I share more, or do the Zhu family share more?"
"The Zhu family has ...... the principal and manpower"
"That's it, if the court asks me to preside, it will only be a presiding, and the human, material and financial resources are all from the court. So who represents the imperial court, the official family, but does the official family need this credit? After its success, the military and the people benefited, and the Great Song Dynasty became more stable, which is what the officials need most, not any credit. Then, the decision-making decision is a Chinese book, do you think Han Gong should not take the first credit? ”
"Then it's fair to have to bear it."
"It's really good, I dodged once, I dodged twice, three times or four times, and Duke Wen was dismissed as prime minister because he made several mistakes one after another. Don't think that the prime minister is so easy to be, you must know how to make good use of people, be keen on government affairs, lead by example, be conscientious, and have scheming and skill, so that you can sit longer, otherwise you will go up in front, and you will have to withdraw from the phase because of the attacks of the ministers. ”
"It turns out that Han Gong is so powerful."
Wang Ju is really not easy to answer, Han Qi can be the prime minister for so long, that's luck, Zhao Zhen's health is not good in his later years, and he doesn't want to make any moves, Han Qi is famous, so let's get by. Then when Zhao Zhen died, Han Qi caught up with the dragon again. But in fact, in order to keep the prime minister's position, he went to sea.
This is just a more controversial Wang Anshi who happened to meet later, otherwise Han Qi would have the possibility of being stinky for 10,000 years.
"Second eldest son, don't think about this prime minister, let's wait for the imperial court to give the order."
This errand is riskier than Huachi Zhixian, and it has merit to do well, and if it is not done well, it is a big mistake, but it is certainly not a good errand. However, he also gave Han Qi a big problem. Now it's up to Han Qi to choose. R1152
