The military service system of the Han Dynasty was followed by a five-year military service system after the reform.

What is five-year military service?

It is an ordinary soldier who has to serve for five consecutive years from the day he enlists in the army.

After five years, you can choose to retire and go home.

Although the previous conscription system is still called conscription, it is more accurate to say that only conscription remains, and conscription has been replaced by the new military service system.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of the people to join the army, the imperial court also provided a series of guarantee and incentive systems for this.

Military salaries rise every year, and after retirement, they can also enjoy two years of tax exemption, as well as a one-time military salary subsidy for half a year.

Although military salaries and subsidies are distributed in the form of grain, although there is no shortage of food in the Han Dynasty now.

The greatest advantage of this system is that it can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

At the same time, because of the continuous arrival of new recruits, it can ensure the activity of the barracks, so that it will not become a lifeless pool of stagnant water.

And this kind of system will not make people feel powerless and hopeless.

What does the first year of the founding of the Yuan mean?

This means that by the end of the year, the first batch of soldiers will have reached the five-year term of service, and it is time for them to retire.

Although the living conditions in the army are good, not everyone wants to mix here for the rest of their lives.

And the age of this group of people is not too young, basically there are young and old people in the family, so there will be no fewer people who choose to retire and go home.

The cavalry in the north and the jungle army in the south are okay, and the cavalry is replenished by a large number of recruits every year, so even if the first batch is retired next year, the impact on them is not great, and after the recruits arrive, they will be able to recover their combat effectiveness after almost half a year.

The jungle army in the south has two years to train because it has replenished more than 100,000 people this year, and two years later, this group of people has also become veterans and can support the heavy responsibility of the jungle army.

The worst is the Shuzhong barracks.

The specifications of the Shuzhong barracks are not low, and his status in the imperial court is a troika that goes hand in hand with the northern cavalry and the southern jungle army.

But because of the problem of real-time strategy, the Shuzhong Barracks has not been taken seriously, and because of the external situation, there is no way to focus there.

And what are the consequences of ignoring it on all sides?

At the end of next year, the 20,000 veterans of the Shuzhong Barracks will all face the embarrassing situation of retirement.

In other words, if the imperial court does not replenish the strength of the Shuzhong barracks next year, then they will face a large state-level military camp with empty establishments but no soldiers.

In other words, Chen Tieshan's nest in that place in Shuzhong, which took five years and spent a lot of energy to train, faced an embarrassing situation where no one was available.

And the previous proposal to replenish 20,000 new soldiers to the Shuzhong Barracks did not take this problem into account.

He was more concerned about it, there were 200,000 cavalry in the north, 160,000 in the jungle army in the south, and only 20,000 in the southwest mountain army.

That's why it was decided to replenish them with 20,000 men without too much pressure of war, so as to appease the officers and men of the mountain army.

Awkward, embarrassing with a capital letter.

As the secretary of the military department, he ignored such an important thing.

Moreover, after next year's batch of troops is retired, the increase in the number of troops in the future will not be as violent as the current increase of more than 100,000 troops a year.

Counting the new joiners who stayed behind, the growth rate of a year is about tens of thousands, and as time goes by, when it comes to a certain point in time, it is basically how much is withdrawn and how much is added.

Although Guan Ying was very anxious, there was such a big flaw in his work, so he still had to retract his report.

I can only go back and make detailed changes and make a new plan.

Of course, next year's recruits will definitely not all be given to the Shuzhong barracks.

Except for Yuyang County, there are soldiers who want to be retired everywhere, and these places cannot be ignored.

……

After the cabinet meeting, Wang Buxing did not rush to deal with all the official business.

After people have picked out the urgent official business and dealt with it, the others who are not in a hurry plan to leave it for tomorrow to deal with it.

And the king was not hungry and changed into a new outfit, and then left the palace quietly.

Today's Luoyang City is no longer the Luoyang City of a few years ago.

The four new urban districts around it have been largely expanded, and only a small part is still in the process of being completed.

Except for a small group of craftsmen who left, most of the craftsmen were transferred to the new site of the palace directly north of Luoyang to work.

The new palace, which had been delayed for two years, was finally opened in the spring of this year.

The new palace was huge, the size of the entire Luoyang City before the expansion.

And as the center of power of the empire, the symbol of domination.

The new palace is also of high specification.

Adopting a new construction technique and cutting corners?

Inexistent.

The palace is four miles long, three and a half miles wide, the palace wall is five zhang high, three zhang wide, and adopts a brick and concrete structure.

This is a real brick and concrete structure, and the entire city wall has a huge frame, and the frame is densely packed, with concrete columns standing every ten meters.

And here, steel bars are used, although the strength may not reach the strength of later generations, but in this era, it is also extremely disadvantageous.

The middle is filled with bricks, and this kind of defense, once the door is closed inside, there is no way to attack the outside.

The entire palace is made of brick and concrete, and the columns, which originally required huge wood support, have been replaced with reinforced concrete columns.

After the adoption of new construction methods, a large number of craftsmen were drawn from the expansion of Luoyang.

As well as the experience accumulated in the previous two years of construction, the construction of the new Luoyang Palace is very fast.

The entire construction will be completed almost before the winter of this year.

The construction of a royal palace took less than a year, which sounds quite appalling.

If it had been placed in the past, even if the same number of people were used, it would not have been five or eight years old, and I would not have thought of seeing the completion of the project.

As for the decoration, it must be decorated, but at this level, the most is to brush a layer of natural paint, and then make some necessary decorations with wooden boards inside, so as not to look too shabby.

And the entire palace, the most domineering is naturally the palace called the Great Han Palace by Wang Buying.

How domineering is it?

The foundation is nine zhang high, the highest point of the palace is nine zhang away from the upper end of the foundation, standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Luoyang City.

Although it is very disadvantageous, this architectural style is not the first to be created by Wang Buxing, Qin Shi Huang's Abang Palace also has this layout, and even many palaces in the Warring States period will also have this kind of layout.

And this Han Palace, mainly used in the upper court, this is the face of the Han Dynasty, and it must be taken seriously.

Wang was not hungry, but he walked around the surroundings and lost interest.

For Wang Buxing, this is his home anyway, and there will be opportunities to visit in the future.

And now it's full of busy figures, messy, if you go in, it will make a mess for others.

To the west is the administrative district, and the architectural layout has been completed, and now it is also finishing the finishing touches.

The so-called decoration is to use white ash to wipe things inside and outside, and there is a strong sense of rural families at the beginning of the 21st century.

But now, it's still very advanced.

The residential area in the east is even less beautiful, and who can show off their wealth when it comes to showing off their wealth?

Wang Bu was not hungry and came directly to the civilian area to the east of the old city.

The so-called civilian area is actually the truest portrayal of the Han Dynasty.

There are many, many microcosms to be seen here.

Soon after entering the East City, Wang Buyu saw a stall on the side of the street that piqued his interest.

This is a bunk set aside by the government for rent, and it is reserved for some civilian traders.

"You're new here, aren't you? What is this selling? Wang Bu was not hungry and leaned in directly, looked at the steamer that was steaming white, and asked curiously.

"Yes, I only came here at the beginning of the month, selling noodles and ......" The vendor had an embarrassed smile on his face, perhaps because of his short business career, which made him a little unable to let go, and even when the guests came to the door, he didn't know how to entertain them warmly.

When someone asks, he replies, never replies, and he never takes the initiative to introduce his own products.

Wang Buxing opened the steamer and looked at it, and his eyes instantly released a fine light.

Good guy, isn't this just a steamed bun, why is it still a piece of noodles?

"How did you sell it?" Wang Bu was not hungry and became interested.

I haven't eaten steamed buns since I came to this world, and I miss it very much.

Although the steamed buns in front of me are yellow, and they don't look so fluffy, and you can even faintly see some wheat husks in them, these are not problems.

The steamed buns in these years are all dead noodles, and the society has not advanced to that point.

"Would you rather use money or food?" The vendor asked habitually.

"What's different?" Wang Buxing is a little curious, the promotion of currency in recent years has not been small at all, why is there still a situation of bartering in Luoyang? This puzzled him.

"If you use money, you can get thirty pieces of money, and if you use grain, you can exchange two pieces of grain for one piece of flour." The vendor pointed to a device similar to a balance scale next to it, which was not technically difficult and was made by the government, so there was no need to worry about problems with it.

"Thirty for a penny?" Wang Bu was taken aback, this steamed bun looks like it weighs half a catty, right? What is the fairy price of Teniang?

Seeing Wang Bu's expression, the vendor instantly became a little anxious, this is the era when honesty is king, if this makes people question their integrity, it is not a question of whether to do business or not, but a question of whether they have the face to live.

So he hurriedly explained: "I weigh one and a half catties of this noodle, and this stone noodle can make more than two hundred at most, four dollars for one stone of grain, and there is no stone after the husk is ground into the noodles, remove the labor, as well as these materials, booth fees, taxes, miscellaneous calculations, I have to sell almost two hundred to make a penny, you are calculating, I am alone here, and there are two people in the family to help grind the noodles, and they are sending them over, which accounts for three people, besides, I am not set this price by myself, this is the price set by the government for me." ……”

Seeing the honest man's anxious appearance, Wang Bu was a little embarrassed, took out a piece of money from his body and handed it to the vendor: "Come on thirty......"
