Chapter 109: On the Dao

It was nearly noon, and Yang Yi was still in the office at this time.

The waiter brought a stack of dense folds, which was the trouble that Yang Yi himself found for himself, in this era, although there was paper, but it was not easy to make paper, Yang Yi optimized the paper production process, and also made a pencil, advocating the use of regular script.

The bamboo slips that were originally used to disseminate knowledge have now been eliminated in the Han region, and the simple way of writing has also led to a multiplicity of official performances.

The Han Dynasty implements a two-level administrative system of counties and counties, and then each state has a history of thorn supervision, such as the Han Dynasty today, from north to south is Liangzhou (Longxi, Tianshui and Hehuang counties, now a total of six counties), Liangzhou (Hanzhong, Yinping, Wudu and the three eastern counties and Nanxiang County, a total of seven counties), Yizhou (Xinjun, Guanghan County, Shu County and other five counties), Bazhou (three counties of Badong), Lizhou (seven counties in Nanzhong, etc., a total of nine counties).

Each state should set up a history of assassination, and the state and county where it is supervised, only the right to supervise, and no other rights, of course, the current history of assassination is not very powerful, and most of them are concurrently served by the important ministers of the border counties.

This is multifaceted; First of all, in the economic aspect, because of the long-term war, the economy of the Han region is now withering, and the recovery of the economy is a top priority, and the enthusiasm of the local governments should be mobilized and the autonomy of the local governments should be strengthened.

The second is the military aspect, the contradictions between the country and the locality are not very serious, but the serious ones are the enemy countries, not only the Wei State, but also the Wu State, and the Wu State is now an ally.

There is also the division of interests, now it is the period of sharing weal and woe with the heroes to start a business, and no special personnel are sent to supervise the locality, which is not only a trust in local officials, but also to show the sentence of Gaozu back then: "Determine the world with the world's heroes and doctors, and work with the peace...... I and the world's wise men and heroes can be described as dead. "Sincerity.

However, Gaozu did not set up a supervision history back then, which made the local supervision system a blank, and the excessive indulgence of the county and the lack of supervision eventually made the princes sit big, this problem, Yang Yi was also awakened, so it was set up separately in the critical prefectures and counties, and the border prefectures and counties were temporarily ignored.

Yang Yi opened the secret fold, looked at the official document again, and looked at them one by one.

There wasn't much time, and he said, "Pass Li Milai." ”

A moment later, Li Mi came over.

"How are the battalions doing?" Yang Yi asked with a smile, Hanlin Bachelors have their own responsibilities and supervise the affairs of the yamen of various ministries, which has already been called "internal ministers", but this is only a name, and there is no real power.

Li Mi's expression was solemn, and he said: "The minister has summarized the reports of the counties, according to His Majesty's will, each county has two new battalions, a total of thirty new battalions, each battalion recruits five hundred recruits for training, and the fatwa is filled by veterans who are familiar with military conditions and battles. ”

"Well, now that the place is in turmoil, I intend to set up two more battalions in the place, of course, it is just an idea now." Yang Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Ling is my staff officer." ”

Li Mi immediately responded: "The minister is afraid, and he will seek it for His Majesty." ”

"I intend to set up a new battalion in addition to the local garrison, and then build a guard battalion, set up a regular pawn, a fine pawn, a pawn, a soldier and four classes, the local administration, can use the fourth class guard, for the county inspection and the county lieutenant, this guard battalion will be permanent in the future, under the county lieutenant, the recruit camp is concentrated in the local eighteen to twenty-five years old young and strong, training and selecting recruits, to send qualified soldiers to the army, if it is a little worse, it will be attributed to the guard battalion, guards, when it is critical, can be recruited into the army."

"This recruit battalion and guard battalion are permanent, and they belong to the county lieutenant, which department will they belong to in the future?"

"Each belongs to the military department and the criminal department."

"Your Majesty, if you also follow the system of rewarding the fields for soldiers, it will be able to make the people serve their deaths and enthusiastically join the army, but how can there be so many fields to divide in the future?" Li Mi frowned and asked a key question.

Yang Yi said: "This is a war strategy, now in the world, there is a lot of barren land, but I am not afraid that there is no land to divide, and when it comes to dominating the world, it will naturally be abolished or modified according to the situation." ”

"The minister understands, then this recruit camp and guard camp, since they are permanent, how many products should they be?"

"The recruit battalion is in the eighth grade, and the guard battalion is the seventh grade, and the recruit battalion is used to teach the head and the head of the capital, and the soldiers are imported into the army every year; The guard battalion is used to guard the local guards to suppress bandits and capture the law, and the chief officer is called the guard order, and the following is the same as in the army, and it is also the commander of the fire and the army. ”

"The minister thinks that for the sake of convenient governance, the new barracks are still suitable for the ninth grade."

"Then it's the ninth grade, the recruits are recruited from the locality, and the armies don't have to recruit themselves in the future."

Li Mi immediately read out the deep meaning, this is the basis for further weakening the possible generals after the separation of the political army.

There is no right to recruit troops, so the additional soldiers are also controlled in the hands of the lord of the country, of course, Yang Yi will not blindly restrict it at this time, such as the Huo Yi Department in Lizhou and the Jiang Wei Department in Liangzhou, which will not be restricted for the time being.

"There are also internal guards, where lonely and widowed daughters can be found, and those under the age of twenty-five can enter the internal guard, and the palace attendants can be reduced as appropriate, and men should be used in front of the army."

Speaking of this, Yang Yi paused, took a sip of tea, and said: "This is far away, I will issue an order for the official establishment of the guard camp, now each county can build two, if there are more in the future, one can be exempted, and each county will have a new battalion and a guard battalion in the future, all of which will be supplemented by the main soldiers, how is the training situation of the new battalion built now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the situation is very good, since the harvest, in order to divide the land, many villagers have enthusiastically joined the army, and now the twenty-first battalion (six counties in Liangzhou, Nanxiang County, and two counties in Lizhou), each battalion has 500 people, basically full, but the consumption of grain and meat has suddenly increased greatly, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to have savings."

"That's still there to be, don't cut off the money to buy grain, and the granaries in all the counties of the Northland must be full, is there a problem?"

"According to the minister's estimate, as long as the money continues, there is not much of a problem, but, Your Majesty, do you want to leave some leeway."

Li Mi knows that Yan Han's next target is now, and now, he is wantonly dumping goods towards Wu State, and buying grain on a large scale, doing so will be okay for a while and a half, if it lasts for two years, then Wu State will definitely react, and this ally may be broken.

"The room is to stay, but you can't stay longer, the current situation, either the cauldron is broken, or the current is going backwards, how can you have a good spare time?" Yang Yi smiled helplessly: "After the winter of next year, it will be a large-scale use of troops, and it may be fought again and again, and Guanzhong I want to win it, and I will take Jingzhou in one go." ”

Li Mi was shocked: "Your Majesty, is this faster?" ”

This is the decision to turn against Wu Guo, just like Wu Guo did back then.

"It's not happy, it has been three generations since the ancestor of the martyrs, and the world has been fighting for a hundred years, and it should be unified, and the people will be at peace; Besides, Wei will not give us much time, if I am not wrong in what I expected, now Wei is also concentrating troops and grain and grass, and will conquer me. ”

If history had not changed, Sima Zhao had ordered Zhong Hui to lead an army to conquer Shu the year before last, and in just a few months, he would have exterminated Yan Han.

It was not until more than ten years later that the army was raised to attack Wu, and in just one year, it swept through Wu, thus dominating the world and ending the war of the Three Kingdoms.

This proves that the national strength of Wei, if it has enough savings, is capable of sweeping away the Han and Wu countries, and the national strength of Wu cannot be underestimated, and it can fight against the forces that dominate two-thirds of the world for more than ten years before it is defeated, which is not bad, but the Han State, if it does not fight, is definitely not the winner of this confrontation.

Now that Yang Yi has risen in advance, Wei and Wu have not yet reached the time of decline, and they still have the strength to fight, and the pressure will be great, and the two countries will definitely not sit back and watch Yang Yi and Yanhan develop slowly.

Yang Yi naturally also knows that he does not have the natural luck of the ancestor back then, this battle of reunification must be bloody, besides, racing against time is the key, even if it is a year earlier, the strategic situation is different, so in the past two years, the new barracks of 500 people, one round is March, one round is 10,000 people, one year is 40,000 people, two years to expand the army of 80,000, even after screening, the army will be expanded by 50,000, after this year and next two years of savings, you have to win Guanzhong and Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and then it is to argue with Wei and Wu.

Only in this way can we get another savings period, which may be one year or two years, and then whether it is looking at the Central Plains or going east to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be much more comfortable, so that the battle of the world can be ended in ten years.

If it doesn't work, then maybe the battle in the world will take 30 or even 50 years!

Thinking of this, Yang Yi has a sense of urgency that time will not wait for me.

Seeing that His Majesty's determination had been made, Li Mi had no choice but to promise, and after dealing with official business, it was dark, Yang Yi smiled: "That's it, Qing retreat!" ”

Li Mi hesitated for a moment, he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, so he responded: "Yes!" ”

The battle of the world, how can it be so urgent, back then, Qin was the remnant of the sixth Fen Dynasty, and he only ruled the world, and Yan Han was only the third generation!

Holding back without admonishment, Li Mi returned to the residence with a heart, Li Mi is now a bachelor of Hanlin with five grades, and his salary is 1,200 stones, of course, after the restructuring now, it is grain and money at the same time, half of noodles or rice, and half of silver; However, this point was not taken to heart by Li Mi.

Yang Yi's weight is obvious, the importance of a position like a bachelor is naturally known from top to bottom, and he only needs to accumulate some qualifications, and his promotion in the future will be very fast, and money will not be a problem at that time.

When he arrived at the house, someone came to say goodbye.

Li Mi was irritable in his heart, looked at it, and smiled: "Go down, I'll go to find my grandfather." ”

"Yes, sir, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" A butler said below.

"You tell Madame, I'll use it later." So saying, he went to a room.

This house is an old house in the city, the ground is paved with bricks, the crevices are covered with moss, the weather is fine today, there is not a trace of clouds, the sun is almost gone, and the golden light is falling.

When I arrived at a house, I saw Li Guang, who was originally the Taishou of Zhuti County, and last year, after Yang Yi ascended the throne, he inspected the officials of various counties, and a group of elderly people were dismissed and returned to their hometowns, and Li Guang was one of them.

After Li Guang returned to his hometown, he saw that this grandson was available, so he put it by his side to cultivate, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Grandfather! ”

Li Guang said "um", turned around, no longer an official, his spirit was better, he stared at it with a soft gaze, and asked, "Something?" ”

"Grandfather, something is true."

"Let's go to the study." Li Guang walked to the study with his hands behind his back, and the two of them went inside one after the other.

When he got inside, he lit the oil lamp, and another servant served tea and withdrew, Li Guang coughed lightly, sat on the chair, stared at Li Mi without speaking, Li Mi pursed his lips and said: "Your Majesty has expanded the brocade clothes and guards, built the internal guards, and appointed women as generals, which is really worrying." ”

As he spoke, he said about this matter one by one, saying: "The way of the master is the way to cultivate the livelihood and the people's livelihood, why do you engage in these selfishness? ”

Li Guang listened, looked out the window and just groaned, and after a while, said quietly: "What you said is not right." ”

Li Mi was taken aback and asked, "Please ask grandfather for advice." ”

"I told you before, the power change, you learned Confucianism, and I taught you the power change strategy, I don't want you to be talented, almost without delay to get the true meaning, only today's words."

"The master of the people uses the Tao to govern the government, and it is useful to be able to benefit the foundation of the society, just like the five grains, but also the medicine stone to assist, in addition to the medicine stone, there are small techniques available, Your Majesty has a way to deal with things, this female Wei Shizu was used for it, it was originally the imperial court system, what is wrong with building it? Your Majesty did not make a big deal of this. ”

"What I'm saying is not that it can't be used, it's just that it's just vigilant and precautionary, and now Confucianism is the pillar of the world, and Your Majesty should use Confucianism." When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help blushing, what did the internal guard and the Jinyi guard do, Li Mi knew very well, the main thing he objected to was this, but the internal guard was a woman, which attracted more attention.

Li Guang smiled, stared at the light seedlings of the candle dancing slowly, and said: "Confucianism, hehe, I first learned Confucianism and Taoism, which are not pure, but it is precisely in this way that I can make the appearance of the game." ”

"Confucianism was born more than 700 years ago, and it was not valued by all countries at that time; Three hundred years later, with the Han Xing, Emperor Xiaowu deposed the hundred schools and monopolized Confucianism, and at that time the Han system was still mixed with kings, not pure Confucianism. ”

"Since then, Confucianism and Taoism have gradually flourished, crowding out all schools and becoming orthodox."

"Since the ancestor Xing Yan Han, Yan Han has been the king and Confucianism to rule the world."

Hearing this, Li Mi was very uneasy and said, "It is the king and the scholar who share the world." ”

Li Guang stood up, with a hint of melancholy in his tired eyes, and said, "Which scholar is not a Confucian scholar?" ”

After a pause, he said: "Later, the Han Emperor, each with its own system, gradually increased the strength of Confucianism, and gradually weakened the imperial power, and in the first year of Zhongping, it actually caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the world was shaken. ”

"The number of Zhong Han Qi was interrupted in the first year of Zhongping, and the sergeant doctor of the court was really his heart to be punished, and in the final analysis, it was really after the combination of Confucianism and Taoism and the scholar clan, it was difficult to control the monopoly, and it was as big as the Great Zhou Dynasty when it was divided." Speaking of this, Li Guang kept his mouth shut.

Hearing this, Li Mi felt a big fire in his heart, and no one spoke for a while.

Only the birds outside return to their nests, and occasionally a few sounds, break the silence.

After a long time, Li Micai barely suppressed the fire in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Grandfather, I am not a pure cultivator of Confucianism, after hearing this, I also feel that my heart is on fire, grandfather, don't say this in the future." ”

"I know, Emperor Xianming, all of them have a certain number of things, and they don't need to be pure Confucian!" When Li Guang said this, he was also in a trance, and said: "I said too much, my original intention was to instruct you, your majesty has the spirit of founding the country, and you must not use pure Confucianism to argue, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Of course, after the second, if the prince ascended the throne at a young age, without this insight and confidence, it must be a situation of Confucianism, and my descendants will focus on Confucianism and enterprising, so as not to be rejected by this monstrous Confucianism!"

When Li Mi heard this, his whole body trembled, pursed his lips, and finally sighed and said, "Hey! ”
