Chapter 376: Freemasonry
"General, you misunderstood, there are two ways to train soldiers, one is Li Guang's style of training, soldiers love it, but military discipline is loose, so Li Guangneng can win a big victory or a big defeat. At that time, I was training with General Chong in Huachi, which was also Li Guang's military training in disguise, constantly using the profits of soju to stimulate the soldiers to train hard. But this method will not last. The second is the training method of Cheng Buzhi, Cao Wei and Brother Ling, who trains the troops with strict military discipline. However, it was a forbidden army, and the Baojie army was relatively simple, so there was no need for brother-style training. Wang Ju said fairly.
The current military discipline of the main forbidden army is too poor.
In order to deter this group of forbidden soldiers who can't fight, but are usually loose and arrogant, those who break the law are immediately killed. But it didn't work, so he came up with a way, not to behead, to summon his generals over, drink and eat, and then push the soldiers who broke the law up, first cut off the lungs and liver, and then beheaded.
His generals hid their faces and did not dare to look, and he drank and ate as usual.
Not afraid of the hard, but not afraid of the horizontal?
Therefore, the army was immediately solemn.
However, some ministers used this to impeach, but Zhao also knew that the forbidden army was corrupted. Don't look at anything else, look at the actions of the two forbidden soldiers in the forest village, one nearly half of the soldiers turned into robbers, and the other greedy for merit and wanted to slaughter the villagers.
Even if Cao Wei rectifies the forbidden army now, he will have to use ruthless hands.
Why did Wang Ju say that the forbidden soldiers would be relocated outside the city, and even Gao Tao did not object, he couldn't blame the forbidden soldiers, living in the prosperous world of the capital, what kind of firm heart did he have to get lost?
"Zi'an is saying that we should train the army strictly, but we can't be too harsh?"
"Exactly, an iron army must have strict military discipline, but a cane is sufficient. Of course, the heinous people, the people who have repeatedly taught and the people who have not changed. There is no need to be merciful. Ci is not in charge of the army, so many troops are stationed here. Will go to war. One day connived, tomorrow it will harm them. ”
"Stick out of filial piety?" Wang Jun Wandao.
"No, the stick may not be able to play filial piety, and doting is also unacceptable, it should be a strict father out of filial piety, and the father should be strict, but the severity must reveal care. This is the golden mean. Or the Tai Chi painted by Chen Tuan, where there is yin in yang. There is yin in yang. or the way of statecraft, with charity as the heart and the law as the expression. ”
"Zi'an, I understood at once, this is also Wu Qi's way of governing the army, and the military discipline is also strict, but he can suck pus for the soldiers."
"General Wang, Zhongye. Or the last thing, I'll say as well, you don't have to pay attention to it. I actually initiated this event, and I had the families of these soldiers form a Freemasonry Society. ”
"Freemasonry?"
Wang Ju spoofed the name, but this Freemason does have some meaning as well.
"The official reduction of grain and silk by the Baojie army is calculated from the beginning of their first bumper harvest."
"We know that." Miao Zhu said.
That is to say, when to settle down, and distribute the land, to start the first harvest, such as the Baojie army that settled down last year, at the beginning of this summer, when the buckwheat and wheat were harvested, and the food and clothing were completely guaranteed, then the supply of grain and cloth began to be exempted. As a result, from beginning to end, Baojie Army and his family have food and clothing.
"So for the time being, there is still a little economy in the hands of the Parchie Army. I let their families form associations. The officers and men of the 10 battalions are located in the vicinity as a community, and the officers and men of each battalion are a small community. One of them is to exchange farming and textiles at ordinary times, so that everyone can learn from each other's advanced, mediate disputes between husbands and gentlemen, and help the poor. ”
"This is wonderful," Miao said, in this way, the wife is united, the husband is easy to unite, and a united army is a truly strong army.
"But this is a special case, mainly they can coalesce, and those in the capital can coalesce, but the cost of living is too high, and some wives are forced to work as military prostitutes to support their families, how to form associations."
"Yes, the price of goods in the capital is too expensive."
"The matter of banning soldiers is not under our control, or is this Freemasonry, this is one thing, the other is to operate, in the first year they have a little money in their hands, so let them each family pay two dollars, use this money to buy cattle, and each battalion to open a store, each large community to hire an economic person, each small community to elect one or two representatives, feedback on the things they need, by the economic person unified purchase, distributed to each store. In the store, a person who has surplus labor in the family and is shrewd and capable is invited to manage it, and he is given a salary of 25 yuan a year. In the future, each household will be given another 200 yuan per year. At the same time, whatever special products are in the hands of the families of each battalion are also collected by the Freemasons and sold by the economists. In case you are being harassed by profiteers. The profits are used to help the poor families of the battalions in peacetime, and to help the families of the martyrs to tide over the initial difficulties during the war, or to hire professors to educate their children. This is the work of their families, and I hope you will not interfere. ”
"This is a good thing, Zi'an really has a wonderful idea, we will definitely live up to Zi'an's trust."
"It is to live up to the trust of the imperial court. That's all I have to say, and you can share your thoughts. ”
That's an exchange.
These people can really fight, but now they still lack relevant experience, and it is good for everyone to communicate with each other once.
Wang Ju left them for dinner.
After talking this time, he was about to go to the capital, and before the generals came down, he also received an edict from the imperial court, asking him to go to Beijing to report on his work.
The dinner is quite sumptuous, which is also a "mean", Wang Ju's life is not very simple, but it is not extravagant.
But Yelong Basheng's wife's cooking skills are getting better and better, and the food is not bad.
Several people talked while drinking.
Wang Junwan said: "It would be nice if Zi'an could know the border ministers. ”
This is also true.
Song Xia Wuxiao Road, Fulin Road is an exception, and the remaining four road governors are all Wenchen.
Either it was Di Qing, who was also rushed from Chenzhou to Yanzhou when he was born, and died a few months later. It's not Zhiyanzhou, but Keng Diqing.
However, how many Wenchen can fight? No matter how brave the soldiers in their hands are, no matter how strong they are, it doesn't matter what they do, unless they meet a master like Cai Ting, but Cai Ting has a few more. He made a meritorious service, but he did it alone.
"I'm afraid this won't work, I'm not old enough," Wang Ju said.
Counting on himself to be the commander, some of them waited, but there was no way.
But you can't despise Wenchen, and soon a few Wenchen will make you dumbfounded. Don't talk about Wang Shao, even Zhang Qi is also making rapid progress. After a few more years, he is qualified to serve as a side governor.
However, Wang Ju guessed wrong this time. He knew that sooner or later he would have to become the governor of one of the four states, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. But it's still some time before that appointment......
…………
"How much time will I stay in this debriefing? Or the concubine will go with you. Li Fei'er said.
Not long after the newlywed, Concubine Li was about to separate, and Concubine Li was a little uncomfortable.
"Big lady, don't be sad, others can't think of it. Why do you think officials can report on their work? Qiong Niang said. In the past few years, for three consecutive years, Wang Ju has to go to Beijing to report on his work.
What is debriefing? When the princes or local officials enter the capital to declare their duties to the Son of Heaven, this is the report of their duties. Think about it, throughout the year. How many officials can be treated like this?
But this is not very enjoyable for everyone.
The young officials sighed with admiration, and those who knew the inside story were even more ashamed.
You must know that Wang Ju has reported on his work several times in recent years, and that time he has brought earth-shattering changes, not to mention the great victory of Dashun City, the first time he reported a Zheng Baiqu, which is about to be completed. The second debriefing is a bit obscure, but some people know that the imperial court's most planned military cuts this year, the Fangchang River crossing, and this kapok seed, are all related to this debriefing. What will be said in the third debriefing?
As for the older officials, they can't stand it. However, some of Wang Ju's methods are too tough, and others are a little better. Meritorious, not self-esteemed. It's usually low-key. Be polite to people as well. But because of their age, it will not hinder their position.
However, Wang Ju also benefited.
That is the status in the emperor's heart.
So Qiong Niang comforted: "Big lady, you are going to witness a legend. ”
"What's the strange, you," Wang Ju didn't know how to say it, her mentality was purely that she was desperately trying to be an attachment to the phoenix, provided that you didn't let me fall off, no matter what attachment, even if it was a tail.
"I don't care about the officials. As long as the officials are safe," Li Fei'er said.
"This is my good concubine." Wang Ju said happily.
Qiongniang didn't think so, it didn't matter if she stayed in the place. It doesn't matter if you're the governor, everyone is yours. But when I arrived in the capital, it was purely a big dye vat, and the husband was fighting, and the wife was also fighting. Concubine Li originally had a simple personality, Wang Ju had to be more simple, once she arrived in the capital to serve as a Beijing official, those officials and wives would fight, Concubine Li was very miserable.
She can't say that this idea is wrong.
However, Wang Ju's idea is simpler, if you can hand it over, you can't hand it over. Could it be that when you arrive in the capital, you can't find anyone to talk to?
Wang Ju said again: "Soon the New Year is coming, after the Lantern Festival, the drain workers will begin, and the official family will not stay with me for a long time." However, the New Year's Day and Lantern Festival are not easy to say. ”
Mainly because of what happened last year, Wang Ju was worried that someone in the court would toss him and transfer him away, so he asked Zhao Du to let out the news and let the people keep him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji finally gave Sima Guang a gag order, and it was not until this summer that this "gag order" was loosened.
But there were many rumors on Zheng Baiqu, and many heroes began to encircle the fields again. After Wang Ju came back, he dealt with it for a while before it calmed down. For this place, Wang Ju was very troubled, so leaving his wife and family behind is also a statement, I just reported on my work, and I would not write about it like Huachi County, so I was transferred.
In fact, he also didn't like it a little bit when he went to Beijing to report on his work this time, and he hadn't thought about what kind of attitude he would use to face the law.
"But on New Year's Day, the south will bring back something good."
"Quilt?"
"No, that's the property of the Inner Treasury, although several families in Yanzhou also went to the south, but I repeatedly warned them not to touch it, whether it was to buy it or give it away, they couldn't touch it. so as not to give people a handle. ”
"What's that?"
"The same thing to eat."
"I'm not greedy."
"It's novel, it's okay to be greedy." Wang Ju said and rode away.
Qiong Niang crossed her fingers and thought in her heart, there are still four years, this time is too long.
Wang Ju quickly rode to the capital.
As soon as he arrived at the post house, he was called to the palace by Zhao Ji.
He looked at Wang Ju and said, "It's getting dark again." ”
"The Shangbai Canal and the Zhongbai Canal are not as difficult as the canal project, but there are many mountain canal works, including the Suidong water weir, which cannot be sloppy, so the minister often goes to inspect it in person, but it is soon, and it will be completed by next autumn."
"That's good," Zhao let out a long breath.
Even if the Zhengbai Canal is completed, it can't all be counted immediately, the first is the lack of ploughing cattle, even if the various military camps want to get the ploughing cattle together, it will take several years. Second, a lot of arable land should be slowly reclaimed. It will be completed next year, and it will take at least another three or four years before it can be reclaimed and planted.
But once all of them are reclaimed and planted, the effect will be immeasurable, and more than 40,000 hectares of fertile land will be planted with half of the crops, and more than 5 million stone of grain will be harvested a year. How many people and soldiers do you have to feed?
At least there is no need to worry about military rations.
Since the autumn, the imperial court has never deliberately purchased grain from the Central Plains in the past, and the grain purchased by Zheng Baiqu alone is enough to be self-sufficient, and even a part of it was transported to Suizhou in small cars to exchange cattle for livestock.
"Sit down."
Wang Ju also sat down calmly.
Zhao Ji began to complain: "Wang Ju, do you know how much a quilt costs in the capital?" ”
"The minister's wife also bought a few beds."
"Your wife ......"
"Majesty, is there something wrong?"
"She's a fool...... Don't mention this, how much did she spend on a bed? ”
"Twenty runs, how much is the capital?"
"I asked Neku to give them six guan money, but they just asked the weaver girl craftsman to add a little quilt cover, and then a bed was more than ten guan money, and then it rose to twenty guan, and now it has risen to twenty-five guan." Zhao Ji made these businessmen go crazy. (To be continued) R655
