Episode 0503: Construction Projects

When Gu Yong's writing became more and more frequent, Peng Yu spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, thinking that he had built a mansion by himself, and none of his subordinates had it, so they were red-eyed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In this way, in order to avoid being talked about by these subordinates again, Peng Yu waved his hand and built!

So all of a sudden, mansions rose from the ground.

Not only that, Peng Yu was accustomed to spending a lot of money, and when he personally saw the completion of the "Hussar General's Mansion" and the surrounding mansions, he couldn't help but come up with the idea of building this place into the political center of Xiliang.

The idea of the political center came out of control, and in this way, the small building became a big building, and the small prosperity became a big prosperity!

Peng Yu had nothing to do, so he personally designed and built the local area in a big way.

After the expansion of the scale, just building a mansion for his subordinates could no longer meet Peng Yu's big money.

With Peng Yu's "Hussar General's Mansion" as the center, various mansions were built around it, and in addition to the residences of a large number of veterans, in a short period of time, this place took on a new look and flourished.

Not only did the generals under Peng Yu's command get a mansion here, but even the veterans who had followed Peng Yu for many years also got a house here.

Taking this opportunity, Peng Yu even deepened the "reform" into the soldiers!

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty began with Emperor Ling, the world has been in turmoil, so the soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty have implemented a conscription system.

What is the "conscription system"?

To put it simply, it is the soldiers gathered by the people who pay for the money and food recruitment, and these soldiers are almost counted as the recruiter's private soldiers, and they are almost a lifelong soldier.

In addition to the opportunity to be promoted by repeated miraculous achievements in the barracks, almost all other soldiers have to spend a long time in the barracks, until they are old and weak, and their bodies are not enough to support military life, they will move out of the barracks, but because of this, the fate of these veterans is often very miserable, and almost all of them die alone.

The treatment of soldiers is so miserable, and the soldiers under Peng Yu's command seem to be more unbearable than the soldiers of the "recruitment system", this is only because more of the soldiers in Peng Yu's army are prisoners of the Yellow Turban, so these people are just Peng Yu's trophies, so these people are Peng Yu's private soldiers.

Peng Yu spared him if he didn't die, where did he dare to mention treatment with Peng Yu?

Therefore, the days of Peng Yu's soldiers, in addition to worry-free food and clothing, were very hard, and as for starting a family, they didn't dare to think about it.

But for Peng Yu, although these soldiers are prisoners of the Yellow Turban, they have followed Peng Yu to fight in the south and north for many years, how can Peng Yu treat them differently? Therefore, "military reform" is imperative.

First, Peng Yu's team is getting more and more bloated, only because of repeated battles, Peng Yu's prisoners are more and more, and his soldiers almost reach hundreds of thousands, of course, these soldiers did not go to the front line to kill the enemy, but only in the rear Tuntian.

But these soldiers in Tuntian are also soldiers, these people work day and night, but they don't get the corresponding treatment, how can Peng Yu "exploit" them with peace of mind?

Second, the environment in Xiliang is getting better and better, the people can have enough food and clothing, and the internal insecurity factors are becoming less and less, and there is no need to raise such a large number of soldiers in the territory to deter the people.

Third, the establishment of Peng Yu's huge cavalry, the whole body has already been shocked by the cavalry, and they have lamented the benefits of cavalry, so the demand for foot soldiers has been diluted a lot, so instead of raising so many soldiers, it is better to let them disarm and return to the field and start a family.

All in all, Peng Yu didn't want to be nothing, once he took into account the soldiers and found that there were many problems to solve, on the whole, there were too many soldiers, the treatment was not good, there was no home, and there was no one to rely on.

Since Peng Yu has discovered these irrationalities, how can he turn a blind eye? The "reform of military soldiers" was carried out in Xiliang in a big way.

The reform of the military is much simpler than Peng Yu's political reform, because Xiliang is getting richer and richer.

People who are willing to be soldiers in troubled times are people who have no way out and can only rely on being soldiers to make a living.

The current Xiliang is different from the past, it is a treasure land of feng shui, there are fertile fields everywhere, it is more than enough to feed a family, and the treatment of the soldiers is not much better than that of ordinary people, so that as long as Peng Yu relaxes his mouth and allows him to selectively disarm and return to the field, there are a lot of willing people among the soldiers.

Therefore, this matter should not be rushed, when Peng Yu and Gu Yong discussed, they began to implement it slowly in Xiliang.

Those who have reached the age of thirty-five are to be immediately disarmed and returned to the fields, and the local taishou is responsible for the purchase of the family business, and they are exempted from paying taxes according to the years they have been in the army.

For example, those who have stayed in Peng Yu's army for three years will be exempted from taxation for three years.

In this way, although these older soldiers are still "homeless", they at least "have a room" and have a certain amount of living security, and these soldiers are naturally grateful to Peng Yu.

When this group of people was resettled, they slowly restructured the "military tun peasants" into "min tun peasants", so that these Yellow Turban captives no longer settled in the fields as military pawns, and their income ratio was even larger.

When the military tun peasants were completely transformed into the people's tun peasants, Peng Yu planned to completely stop them and let them live freely in Xiliang.

This group of soldiers is not easy, they have followed Peng Yu for many years, and they have suffered for many years, although this makes Peng Yu seem to have suffered a lot of losses, but Peng Yu feels that he can no longer "exploit" this group of soldiers, especially Xiliang's situation is so good, and the tax income alone is enough for Peng Yu to raise soldiers, so Peng Yu has no hesitation to do this in Xiliang.

But Peng Yu can't disband all the soldiers, especially his own cavalry, which is a soldier who has worked hard to get enough, and it is the elite of the elite in Peng Yu's hands.

In this way, in order to balance this matter, Peng Yu also had to improve the treatment of elite soldiers.

With a wave of his hand, Peng Yu more than doubled the treatment of the soldiers in Xiliang, and even if it weren't for Gu Yong and Wei Ning's strong persuasion, Peng Yu would have increased it to more than two times!

This caused many people in Xiliang to be willing to come and serve as soldiers.

You must know that everything that Peng Yu has carried out, the people have seen it, the soldiers are treated very well, and after reaching the age of thirty-five, the government also buys a family business for him, such treatment has not been encountered for hundreds of years, so the people who come to serve as soldiers are endless.

In order to solve this matter, Peng Yu had no choice but to implement the policy of elite soldiers, requiring the newly recruited soldiers to be over 18 years old and under 25 years old, strong to the point of harshness, and there must be brothers in the family.

In this way, Peng Yu's soldiers were controlled within 100,000.

Peng Yu implemented the "soldier reform" in Xiliang, because of the close cooperation between Gu Yong and Wei Ning, and because Peng Yu was willing to spend money, so that almost everyone in the soldiers and the people was grateful to Dade, and Peng Yu was naturally proud of this.
