Chapter 290: A Scary Amount
Disarmament!
In all dynasties, it is an extremely important and extremely difficult thing to make up your mind, after all, the slightest carelessness will cause turmoil in the army.
After all, the Great Qin was established by force, and the status of the soldiers was very high and respected, so such a large-scale disarmament would inevitably cause turmoil.
After all, Great Qin has only had conscription, and has never been a large-scale disarmament.
Moreover, in this era, although the military system is mature, it is limited to the army, and when the officers and men in the army are older, there is never a clear statement about where they will go in the future.
A large part of the reason why a country and a dynasty can be stable and prosperous for a long time is because the court has money and grain and a large army.
Disarmament has always been a taboo topic.
Especially for a country like Great Qin that is in turmoil, they have always increased their troops and horses, and rarely disarmed.
In all dynasties, as long as it is disarmed, it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, and there has never been a disarmament in the troubled times when the world is in chaos and heroes.
Yinggao knew in his heart that disarmament was actually necessary, and the retirement system was to ensure that the army had strong combat effectiveness.
The thought flickered in his heart, Yinggao had to come out, stood in the study, and said: "Father, according to the calculation of the long history, the total number of our army returning to the hometown is about 1340,000, and the total amount required is more than 1 million gold. ”
"If you pay it all at once, the imperial treasury will suddenly become tight. If you can't pay all at once, it will cause dissatisfaction in the military, which will cause unnecessary trouble. ”
……
"Hmm."
Nodding, Ying Zheng glanced at Ying Gao, his expression was solemn, and said: "What do you think about this, you don't have to think much about today's court, just say it if you have an idea." ”
"No."
Seeing Yinggao nodding in agreement, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the study, and all along, Yinggao's influence on everyone was silence.
And once you speak, there must be a certain countermeasure to alleviate the current troubles and give everyone a new solution.
At this moment, the ministers were full of expectations for Yinggao, after all, it was related to more than 100,000 troops, and it was not too prudent for the court to be cautious.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ying Gao was not nervous at all, and showed a smile towards Ying Zheng, and said: "Father, one million gold is a huge amount, and the Great Qin Imperial Court is interested in annexing the Six Kingdoms, and the treasury needs a huge amount of money and grain. ”
"Millions of gold at every turn, the impact on the court is great, the sons have a law, only the court needs to contribute 600,000 gold, and the rest of the sons are willing to fill it, I don't know what the father wants?"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it's beneficial to Daqin, just say it!"
At this moment, Ying Zheng also looked solemn, and couldn't help but take a deep look at Ying Gao, 400,000 gold is not a small amount, of course, he also knows that Ying Gao at this moment can take out this money.
He is also a little curious about Yinggao's solution.
"No."
Nodding in agreement, Ying Gao faced Ying Zheng and said: "The 1340,000 old soldiers are well-disciplined and have undergone strict training, such old soldiers should not be left to farm." ”
"And in Xianyang, the construction of Daqin Central University requires a steady stream of young and strong, and Erchen means to meet the production and construction camp."
"They pay for their labor, and their sons pay for money and food......"
……
What Yinggao wants to implement is actually the model of the production and construction corps in later generations, in his opinion, it is very suitable for the current Daqin, after all, there are too many wastelands and poor people in the Central Plains today.
Such a model of the Production and Construction Corps is conducive to the reclamation of localities, and military reclamation is conducive to stimulating production.
Since Yinggao was not the lord of Great Qin after all, he retreated to the next best thing and wanted to use these hundreds of thousands of people to set up a large construction engineering team.
In this way, not only the construction of the school palaces in the counties of Daqin, but also the construction of the Central University of Daqin, requires a large number of craftsmen.
And this situation does not stop in a year or two, but lasts for several years, even twenty or thirty years.
The Great Wall, the Lingqu, the Abang Palace, the Chi Road, the Straight Road......
and other large buildings, enough to feed too many people, just 100,000 veterans, not a problem at all, and these people are not even afraid of death, so they are naturally very easy to use.
At this moment, it seems that he will have to pay 400,000 gold, but in the future, such a calculation will definitely be profitable for Yinggao, not only to get benefits, but also to get the favor of the three armies of Great Qin.
After all, doing so is equivalent to exempting them from worries and allowing them to make contributions on the battlefield with peace of mind.
"You're going to take over the old army?"
At this moment, everyone in the study was silent, no one was willing to answer at this time, and they all knew that this involved military power.
Hundreds of thousands of veterans!
This is an army that has just entered the battlefield, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and Yinggao uses troops like a god, once this 1340,000 army is in Yinggao's hands, it may not be able to burst out with amazing strength.
Therefore, at this moment, only Yingzheng can make a decision, and others are not even willing to make a voice, after all, when it comes to military power, it often touches the bottom line of the emperor.
"It's not a retainer in charge, but a large battalion, but it doesn't distribute weapons and armor, it's just equivalent to militarizing the management of a group of peasants."
Ying Gao naturally knows what Ying Zheng is worried about, he is too sharp, and in Xianyang, there are not many large armies, once the old army is in his hands, Ying Zheng will be uneasy even if he is confident.
"The retainers are also to relieve the pressure on the imperial court and continue to promote the construction of the school palace......"
……
"Hoo ......"
With a long breath, Ying Zheng looked at Wang Juan and the others, and said, "The old army has returned to his hometown, and most of them are in the camp outside the Guanguan?" ”
"Seventy percent of the army outside the gates, and thirty percent of the rest of the gates."
At this moment, Wang Juan and Wang Qian's faces also changed slightly, they both knew that Yinggao came from the camp outside the Guan, and led the camp outside the gate to complete the earth-shattering reversal and win back the glory of the army outside the gate.
As long as Yinggao ascends to the heights, these veterans of the big camp outside the gate will respond positively nine times out of ten.
"It shouldn't be difficult to pay a million dollars, and the pension for the old man must be paid out at one time."
"In addition, armaments and equipment also need money and food, and Wang Jian Mengtian needs at least more than one million gold there......"
Ying Zheng did not answer Ying Gao's question head-on, but stood up at this moment, looked at the civil and military in the study, and said: "There is a battle under the army outside the Guan, and it will be at least three years before the disarmament and return to the field." ”
"For this, there is only one requirement for Lonely, within five years, the old soldiers will gradually return to their hometowns, and each time the resettlement matters must be cleanly settled; If an old soldier is killed or disabled in battle before returning home, the pension must be doubled. ”
"As for Childe Gao's suggestion, Lone will also seriously consider ......"
