Chapter 18: The Great Wrath I

Wang Shoutian was studying military affairs.

Of course, the pro-soldier is the top priority, not only to be loyal and diligent, but also to have martial arts, and to be able to block when it is critical.

I remember that at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, every royal palace had this kind of armor, and the number was between tens and dozens, all of them were warriors, but these people were trained by fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and now there are no such conditions.

"The affairs of internal affairs are complicated and have been hard work, and the military should not bother you to deal with them, but the reward is connected with the land, and this matter must be discussed with you. Wang Shoutian pondered for a long time, then raised his head with a sigh and said, "I have some regulations, but I haven't considered them as a whole, you listen to them." ”

"Please make it clear. Lai Tongyu and Xue Yuan sat on their knees.

Wang Shoutian said: "I have personally experienced military training, think about it carefully, this training is also hard work, physique, martial arts, military discipline, those who can pass, only six or seven out of ten out of ten!"

"If you don't meet the requirements and retreat to the field, let's not talk about the formation of box soldiers (logistics), and the qualified ones will be arranged - last time you said that ordinary people give 30 acres of land, I don't think it's okay. ”

"A family, self-cultivation, thirty acres is already the limit, no matter how much you don't feel the need to struggle and bleed, it is not conducive to stimulating the cultivation war, two gentlemen, if it is barely enough, how many acres do you need?" Speaking of this, Wang Shoutian swept the two.

"Lord, if it is farming, each strong man needs to use 1 catty of coarse rice and 5 taels per day to be the basic, the elderly, children and women are slightly less, but if you count oil, salt and vinegar, etc., it is about the same, the average number of coarse rice per person per month should be 50 catties, a household of five people, is two and a half stones, and needs to eat thirty stones a year. Xue Yuan thought for a while and said, this is a very useful concept of quantity, and in his mouth, he immediately said it.

"A family of five, each family has two strong men, the upper limit can be cultivated 30 acres, water and drought are mutually beneficial, and the yield per mu is about two and a half to three stones. If half of the tax is paid, twenty acres can be raised. ”

As soon as he said this, Wang Shoutian immediately became clear.

"In addition to the farmer's acre, there are other incomes, textiles, short-term workers, craftsmen, chickens and ducks, and so on. Lai Tongyu added: "Twenty acres can already be well maintained." ”

"Good, then the first batch of residents will be distributed with 20 acres of basic land, the second batch with 18 acres, and the third batch with 15 acres, so that they will be miserable, but will not affect their basic survival. ”

"On this basis, the soldiers can be given rations, not to increase the field, after training and qualified soldiers, an additional five acres of their families, in order to reward their ability, this is one!" Wang Shoutian bent a finger and said: "Encourage the people to practice martial arts, and the soldiers endure their training, and they can see the results immediately!"

Since the previously distributed fields are on the subsistence line, the enriched fields are very important, and it is easy to divide the horizontal line among the people.

Half-starved (bran rice) to full (white rice) is a completely different concept, and its promoting effect may even be greater than the stimulation of food and clothing to the well-off.

Wang Shoutian's administration must squeeze out the most power of the people without destroying the bottom line, and on this basis, guide the society to the goal he wants.

Wang Shoutian said again: "The soldier is qualified in training, he is a regular soldier, this is the first level, if he can cut a grade, he is a veteran, how can he not be rewarded?"

Wang Shoutian's eyes swept over the two of them and saw that they were just listening intently.

Seeing that his eyes met, Xue Yuan bowed down and said: "The minister doesn't understand the military, but the people make it profitable, and driving it away is naturally far better than making it coerc. ”

Wang Shoutian smiled: "People are uneven, veterans can have a special title, such as the elite pawn is good, when the army meets, the regular soldier meets the elite pawn, you must salute, when eating, you must eat the elite first, this kind of detail is very important." ”

"Lord, this is a formal system of etiquette, in order to divide the humble. Lai Tongyu's eyes lit up when he listened, and he agreed.

Wang Shoutian bent his finger again and said, "In this way, the family has thirty acres, and it can be called rich in the countryside, and it is self-sufficient." ”

"The lord is right, the family has thirty acres, but it is relatively rich, and it should be able to make the soldiers use their lives. Xue Yuan thought about it, nodded as well, and said.

"If you can behead the second level, and then reward ten acres, you can be called a pawn, and the gift is great!" This is a family of forty acres.

"If you can behead the third level and reward ten acres, you can be called a soldier, and you will be given leather armor weapons to show your ability and avoid the labor of your family!"

"If you can behead the fourth level, you will be rewarded with ten acres, and if you are unofficial, you will be the commander of the army. "That's 60 acres of home.

"If you can behead five ranks, you will be rewarded with ten acres, if you are unofficial, you will be the chief of the fire, and if your relatives are guilty, you can be reduced by one degree, and if you are not guilty, you will be given a calf, and its name will be added to the scholar's record. "This is a family of seventy acres, and an ox is just right to plow, just right.

"Above the fire chief, it is an official system, and it is not considered to be beheaded. ”

Xue Yuan pondered for a while, and said for a moment: "The acres of land can still be divided, but it is not easy to plough cattle......

"Those who can behead the fifth level, and the warriors are also, how can they not be rewarded? How to make cattle, this is our business. Wang Shoutian said: "Regardless of cattle, sheep and horses, I want to build a special pasture and breed to give birth to calves and ponies." ”

said, waving his hand: "I know that in the future, no matter what aspect it is, there will be fraud, but as long as it lasts for ten years, it will be fine." ”

When Lai Tongyu heard this, he already laughed and said: "The lord is wise, so everyone will fight and die for the lord." ”

Wang Shoutian said again: "Above the fire chief, it is different, based on the overall combat merits of the fire team battalion!"

This is due to the 20-level military merit system of the Qin Law, but Wang Shoutian believes that the military merit standards of officers and soldiers are originally different, and for soldiers, it is enough to behead the fifth level and become the rank of an officer.

Don't underestimate this, the boundary between soldiers and officers is very large, and only when you become an official can you be promoted.

After saying this, the three of them were silent, carefully considering the pros and cons.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, and after a while, a piece of news interrupted the atmosphere, which not only made Lai Tongyu, who had been smiling, look serious, but also Xue Yuan.

The source of all this is the news that comes and the people in front of you.

Wang Shoutian was very angry at this time, with a face with a little distortion, he said with a cruel smile: "It's the opposite, it's really the opposite, who do you think you are?"

"Bang" slapped the table, and several people sitting on the side were all shocked.

"Just a thief, I gave a chance, it was already a grace, and he even learned from the princes, tore up my letters, drove out my messengers, and cut off my ears to insult me?

Ever since he learned that the man he had sent to Qiluo Cottage had been driven down the mountain and had one of his ears cut off, Wang Shoutian was furious.

Qi Luozhai's practice was to slap him in the face.

This Qiluo cottage must be exterminated!

Wang Shoutian was angry, which frightened everyone, among them, a middle-aged man with a cloth belt wrapped around his head, perhaps because he had been frightened before, at this time Wang Shoutian was angry, he was frightened, and almost fell off the chair.

"Wang Zeyi, don't be afraid, adults are angry with the bandits, and they won't be angry with you!" Lai Tongyu, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly whispered comfortingly.

"Oh, my lord is wise, my lord is wise, of course you won't blame me!" this Wang Zeyi was already frightened and incoherent.

This Wang Zeyi was also unlucky, he was selected by Wang Shoutian, no matter how he was, he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to send a letter, thinking that he had a friendship with the big boss, even if things were wrong, it wouldn't be good.

I didn't want to be driven down the mountain by cutting off my ears just to deliver a letter.

After Lai Tongyu handed him the teacup, he looked at Wang Shoutian and sighed slightly.

"Wang Zeyi, you have no merit, don't worry, I will reward you afterwards, you two, go and arrange it first, first arrange a place for Wang Zeyi's family, this Qiluo Town, he can't go back for the time being. Wang Shoutian also thought at this time that he couldn't lose his temper in front of outsiders, so he looked at Wang Zeyi, paused on the cloth belt wrapped around his head, and then turned his gaze to Lai Tongyu, and said commandingly.

Knowing that Wang Shoutian might have to talk to the army next, Xue Yuan and Lai Tongyu stood up and said softly to Wang Zeyi on the side: "Wang Zeyi, please come with us!"

"Yes!" The unlucky Wang Zeyi hurriedly saluted Wang Shoutian on the seat, and retreated with the two.

Although it was not his own person who went up the mountain to be humiliated this time, Wang Zeyi represented him, and Wang Shoutian was really unwilling.

I wanted to tease the thief, but I didn't want to tease the thief.

"Gan Hou, you say, if we send troops to exterminate these mountain people, what are the chances of victory?" Seeing that there were only two people in the study, he and Gan Hou, Wang Shoutian had calmed down at this time, and asked casually.

"There are many mountain people, and we are not at all familiar with the situation in Qiluo Mountain, they rely on the danger of this mountain, but they are afraid that our chances of victory are not good. Gan Hou thought for a while, and according to his understanding, he said honestly: "We are only 200 soldiers, and the other party's cottage is very large. ”

"Hehe, this is not right, there are not many soldiers!" Wang Shoutian said with a smile: "Besides, this Qiluo Village must not be left, this is a hidden danger, I will definitely exterminate it." ”

"Besides, He Wulang is also from the mountains, although he is only a team of fifty soldiers now, but at this time, when the whole people are mobilized, he can bring three hundred mountain people, plus my soldiers, and he has an advantage again. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shoutian felt that he had said too much, and said instructively: "You go out first, call them all in, these days, you must patrol the surroundings carefully, and if you see any suspicious people snooping, all of them will be caught by me, this group of bandits, do you really think I can't help them?"

Wang Shoutian said with a sneer, and immediately ordered He Wulang, Chai Jia, He Zhong, Zhang Yi and others to come to discuss the matter, and the order was sent by the soldiers.

When Ganhou listened, he answered the command, and went out.
