Chapter 319: Bright Avenue

After all, in today's war, a group of elite backbone soldiers who can fight and kill will directly determine the level of combat effectiveness, and the construction of basic non-commissioned officers has become the key.

Ning Yu looked at the generals in the audience and said loudly: "You are all generals, and you are all the heart of the army, but it is not enough to have the heart of the army, you need hands and feet, you need flesh and blood, and those basic non-commissioned officers will become your hands and feet, your flesh and blood!" ”

After everyone listened, although some old-fashioned generals were still a little disapproving, there were many young generals, especially those from the Eagle Battalion, who began to think deeply, even if they didn't care about the soldiers at the bottom, they wouldn't care about Ning Yu's thoughts, since Ning Yu said so at the moment, there must be some intentions in it.

For the soldiers at the bottom, Ning Yu specially set up four levels of sergeant, sergeant, corporal and sergeant major, of which the sergeant major is divided into three levels, the status of the first sergeant major is comparable to that of a second lieutenant, the status of the second sergeant major can be compared to a major, and the status of a third-level sergeant major can be compared to a colonel, the purpose is naturally to improve the status of non-commissioned officers.

After this awarding of honors and titles, Ning Yu can be said to have added a safety gate on the basis of the already solid military heart, and the constitution of the Fu Han Army will be more confident after being guaranteed by the army.

........

Throughout the month of February, Ningyu almost set off a monstrous wave in Huguang, from the tax system of acres of land to the "King James Constitution of Great Chu", this article and paragraph made people's hearts boil, of course, not everyone was applauding the Han Army, although many gentry whose interests were damaged did not dare to make any moves on the surface, but the gossip behind the scenes could not stop.

In Changsha City, at this time, because of the "King James Constitution of Great Chu", it caused a lot of waves among the gentry, especially as the Wang clan of Changsha, there was a feeling of righteous indignation.

"What do you think of this Chu prince? This good emperor doesn't do it, but he wants to make trouble with this bullshit constitution? As long as he becomes an emperor, it's not like what he says! ”

An old man with gray hair had a little puzzled on his face, as the patriarch of the Wang family, due to the reform of the Fuhan Army's land and mu system, the old man Wang had a deep opinion on the Fuhan Army, but he was afraid of the military might of the Fuhan Army and did not dare to make any moves.

A middle-aged man sighed, he picked up a bowl of tea soup from the table, and said in a low voice: "Old man, don't worry about Emperor Laozi..... The amount of land that our Wang family has to pay this time is several times higher than in previous years! The losses are just too heavy......"

Old Man Wang snorted coldly, "We are bitter, and the other big clans are no better, they are not willing to make this head, and we can't be the nail of this head..... Let's wait, wait until the situation changes again, and then we will wait for the opportunity to move. ”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly bitterly, and knew in his heart that he could only do this now, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to retreat.

In addition to the Wang family, many big clans are also watching, they are either looking forward to the Manchu Qing being able to fight back, or they are looking forward to Ning Yu becoming emperor in the future - in this way, there will be something else to tie Ning Yu's hands and feet.

But not everyone thinks so, at least for the merchants of Hunan, the current king is simply the best king, canceling most of the checkpoints, and also canceling those unwarranted harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, although they are still very hard, but they have earned a lot more silver.

The merchants were satisfied, and the peasants were also satisfied, because under the new land endowment system in Ningyu, fire consumption and some other harsh taxes had been completely abolished, coupled with the system of apportioning the land into the mu and the gentry paying grain in one, so that many hidden households dared to come out, because they had no land, so naturally they did not have to pay taxes anymore.

It's just that when it comes to the people, it becomes a very strange situation, some of the scholars and squires are denying the "King James Constitution" for some reason, while the merchants and peasants express their support for the Fu Han army, and when the two sides are noisy, they do not delay the final introduction of this constitution.

By the end of February, the mystery was about to be revealed, and Cui Wancai and others were also exhausted, it was not difficult to formulate this constitution, what was really difficult was the weighing of interests between multiple parties, this feeling of intrigue almost made Cui Wancai think that he was creating party strife, but under Ning Yu's vigorous insistence, it was finally completed.

Just when Ning Yu was reviewing this ancestral family law that had been refined by everyone, news also came from the direction of Jiangning, the Temple of Heaven had been completely built, and he was waiting for Ning Yu, the emperor, to ascend the throne.

"Your Majesty, those scholars are still clamoring to this day, saying that it is a big deal to ascend the throne now, and the so-called constitution is really ridiculous...... The minister thought that it was better to arrest these scholars and send them to the front line! ”

Ning Zhongyi's face was a little angry, he understood the foundation of the Constitution, and naturally knew the significance of the introduction of this Constitution, it was by no means so simple, as for the people who oppose it now, they are clearly opposing the Constitution, but they are actually opposing a series of policies of the current Fu Han Army, which is the operation of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

Ning Yu smiled, fiddling with the "King James Constitution of Great Chu" that still smelled of ink in his hand, and an inexplicable smile flashed on his face.

"No hurry...... Let's throw this out first, let them see it first, if they are not polite first, then Gu will not be polite. ”

In Wuchang City, after several days of printing, the "King James Constitution" finally began to be sold in the city, of course, for most ordinary people, this book has nothing to do with them, but for the gentry, it was the first time to buy back.

"What? Equality of the four people? Abolish the household registration restriction? Can anyone take part in the scientific expedition? ”

"How can this be reasonable, this is the greatest ritual law in the world, how can the reason for kneeling and worship be canceled? If those poor bones don't kneel down when they see this old man, is there still a royal law in this world? ”

"Today's king is too heavy on commercial power, this way of businessman is just hoarding, for the country and the people is really a great harm, how can he enter the house in a grand manner?"

After the gentry read it, they jumped to their feet, they looked at the lines of words in it, but they felt that they were all heinous sins, but now they were written out in a grand manner, they gathered together to study every clause in it, but before they could read it all, the whole person was a little unbearable......

"No, this constitution must not be passed, otherwise where will the dignity of my poetry and book heirloom remain?"

A large group of gentry and some scholars began to plan to join forces and collectively oppose this matter, they believed that the current Fu Han army only occupied several southern provinces, and for the sake of stability, they would definitely choose to calm down the anger of their gentry, and when the time came, they would definitely let this so-called constitution become chopping wood!

But it is not only the gentry who can buy the "King James Constitution", but also the literate people, the businessmen also bought back this "King James Great Chu Constitution", but after reading it, they feel greatly relieved, it is really the content of this is too surprising!

"Hehe, how can those nerds who read dead books understand the way of our businessmen? Without merchants and craftsmen, how can we make the country rich and strong? ”

"Hmph, if you can't read those "Four Books" and "Five Classics", I will also read them! I didn't get famous, and I dare to claim that I was a scholar? ”

Soon, this "King James Constitution of the Great Chu" began to circulate in Wuchang City and the surrounding prefectures and counties, and for those who read it, the content of this constitution simply challenged their cognitive limits, but to the merchants, it seemed to be a priceless treasure.

Of course, in addition to these things, in fact, there are many contents in this constitution, such as the emperor is the supreme commander of the whole army, and for example, only the emperor has the right to amend the constitution, etc., to put it bluntly, this constitution has re-enlarged the emperor's power, but at this stage, it has played a very good effect.

When the gentry and the merchants sprayed each other, no one could care about the expansion of the monarchy, and this was a matter of course for them, after all, who made the family the emperor Laozi? In the absence of any objections, on the contrary, these clauses extending the power of the monarch did not cause much controversy.

Of course, in this way, Ning Yu's goal was achieved, of course he knew that it was impossible to control the gentry by relying on a constitution, and it was impossible to support their industry and commerce through a constitution, but in this process, these private goods he added were enough to ensure that the emperor could have great power in his hands.

To put it simply, the Constitution of the Great Chu Dynasty, together with other provisions, essentially severed the previous connection between the merchants and the gentry, and the expansion of the monarch's power shows that this constitution really represents the interests of the emperor. Therefore, it is completely different from the constitution of later generations.

The two sides were noisy, but they couldn't do anything to each other, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it, and after Ning Yu went through this struggle, the bright avenue in front of him was completely paved, and the day of enthronement and coronation was coming!
