Chongzhen's will has given Zhu Jie great power, and the most important thing is that Zhu Jie can tailor an elite soldier with his own brand according to his own plan!

The will spread from the court, and there are naturally a lot of courtiers who oppose it, not to mention the rest, just cut tens of thousands of troops at once, what should I do? Without military pay, what will these retrenched soldiers eat? What to drink?

Above the court.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, once these soldiers are dismissed, they who have no source of livelihood will definitely gather to make trouble, and when the time comes, there will be a mutiny, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Wu Fu, the squire of the military department, hurriedly played.

Wei Zhaocheng, the head of the household department, jumped out even more and shouted: "Your Majesty, Zhu Jie is a disaster for the country and chaos, so many troops have been abolished at once, how is the court settled, how is it settled, where is the silver for the court to resettle?" What Lord Wu said is extremely true, the dismissed soldiers are definitely going to make trouble, and the entire Jingshi will fall into a huge whirlpool, and if it doesn't work, it will be out of control! ”

Other ministers also wrote against it, and their rhetoric was fierce, and some even asked Chongzhen to ask Zhu Jie for the crime!

Chongzhen was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he would cause an uproar on this issue!

Chongzhen looked at Zhu Jie next to him, and motioned to Zhu Jie, this is the big hole you poked by yourself, you fill it yourself, no one will wipe your ass!

Zhu Jie stood up unhurriedly, looked at Wu Fu, and asked, "Lord Wu, you mean that once redundant personnel are eliminated, the army will make trouble because they can't eat, causing a mutiny, right?" ”

Wu Fu said angrily: "Of course that's the case, anyone who is robbed of their job will be extremely dissatisfied, let alone a soldier with strong blood?" ”

Zhu Jie laughed and said, "Then what if the lower officials settle this matter, are you still against the elite soldiers?" ”

Forehead......

Wu Fu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "If you can really appease these dismissed soldiers, this is a good thing, once tens of thousands of troops are removed, you can free up a lot of military salaries for the imperial court, and the treasury can at least be relaxed, but just now, Lord Wei said that the household department does not have extra money to accommodate these retrenched soldiers......"

Zhu Jie nodded, bowed to Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very easy, in recent years, the Manchurian Tatars have invaded the Gyeonggi area year after year, and the number of people taken away alone has reached six or seven hundred thousand, and the number of people killed is more than one million, and the loss of a large number of people has made the Gyeonggi area sparsely populated, and many fields have become ownerless fields, completely abandoned, and the Gyeonggi area is not prosperous, and there is a lot of less taxes......

Chongzhen's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Zhu Aiqing, is it really so serious?" ”

Zhu Jie replied: "Of course, in Shandong Province alone, the number of people who have been taken captive and killed has exceeded one million, and most of them are young and strong, and millions of people have been displaced and fled in all directions......

Wu Fu frowned and asked: "General Zhu, please don't change the topic, we are talking about the issue of mutiny, what are you going to do in Gyeonggi and Shandong?" ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Lord Wu, of course it has a relationship, and it has a lot to do with it!" Your Majesty, the ministers have a book! ”

"Speak!"

Zhu Jie replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister asks the emperor to decree that the household department will come forward to sort out the abandoned fields in the Gyeonggi area, in the minister's opinion, these abandoned fields are no less than 100,000 hectares, and it is a pity that they are abandoned to the extreme. As long as they are willing to settle down, each person will be given five acres of land, and once these homeless people have obtained the land, they will work hard, and a family of five will have twenty or thirty acres of land, which is enough to live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to flee the famine? Who wants to rebel with a thief? In the coming year, the fields will be harvested, and a large amount of taxes can be added to the imperial court, killing three birds with one stone! ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up, this is a good way, millions of acres of land can absorb millions of people at once, and even if it is twenty catties of grain per mu of land, it is millions of stone of grain!

"Well, what Zhu Aiqing said is extremely true, but this has something to do with your elite strategy?"

Chongzhen asked.

Wu Fu on the side understood, after all, Wu Fu is not a waste, as a soldier of the military department, he still has two strokes.

"Lord Zhu, do you mean to give land to the soldiers who have been laid off?"

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Of course, these soldiers have fought for the country for many years, shouldn't they be rewarded with some land?" The minister thought that each soldier would be given six acres of fertile land, ten acres of fertile land for small banners and general banners, fifteen acres of fertile land for 100 households, and 50 acres of fertile land for 1,000 households, and they would be exempted from taxes for one year. With these lands as security, who will make trouble? Even if they are in the army, the military salary they get every year will be deducted by officials at all levels, and they will not be able to get the full amount of military salary, in contrast, these fields will become their industry, as long as they work hard, they will definitely not starve to death! ”

"Hahaha......"

Chongzhen laughed, stood up, and said: "Fellow ministers, you also look at Zhu Aiqing, when you encounter problems, solve problems, not to move forward, not to look forward and backward, this is the demeanor of a minister, according to you, the elite army and the government, ten or twenty years, it is impossible to implement, but in Zhu Aiqing's hands, it will immediately turn decay into magic, you look at you, one by one, you will know that you are opposed, impeached, can't you move your rusty brains?" ”

Chongzhen's words, just after he finished speaking, the courtiers all focused on Zhu Jie's body, Zhu Jie's sweat was about to come down, wipe it, your Majesty, you are trying to kill me, in front of the public, they have just been refuted by me, you come here, then they have to hate me to death......

"Your Majesty, not only in Zhili and Shandong, but also in Henan, thieves have repeatedly made waves in Henan and Shaanxi, and there is only one root cause, that is, the common people have no land, no food, and they have to pay taxes to the imperial court, a large number of peasants abandon the land, and those who have no land directly become chaotic people wandering around. The minister once told Inspector Sun that he would recycle the abandoned fields in Henan and give them to the displaced people, so that they could settle down and engage in production, so that Li Zicheng would naturally no longer be able to stir up the wind and rain like before......

Zhu Jie stubbornly played again.

Chongzhen's heart was pounding, wonderful, wonderful, the bottom of the kettle is drawn, this trick is used to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle!

According to Zhu Jie's words, the Ministry of Household immediately began to rectify all the wasteland in the Central Plains, according to Zhu Jie's words, to recruit displaced people, give fields, and supervise all roads according to the imperial history. Zhu Jie's suggestion was meritorious, and he gave 100 taels of gold and 3,000 taels of silver as a reward! ”

In an instant, the eyes of jealousy, which were even hotter than just now, gathered on Zhu Jie's body again, and he couldn't wait to drill a few holes in Zhu Jie's body!
