Chapter 586: New Deal

Wang Anshi ordered Gyeonggi, Shaanxi, and Hebei to take the lead in implementation.

However, Su You thinks that if Wang Anshi doesn't come up, he will first guarantee 100 million, but set the small goal a little lower, and let the ideal shine into reality, in fact, it can still be operated.

Because since ancient times, China's imperial power has not gone to the countryside, and the law of protecting armor is the only attempt.

Su You said with a smile: "Bachelor, the so-called policies and countermeasures are under the policy, and now that Jiefu Gong has strictly ordered Shaanxi to implement it, no matter what, you have to come up with a way to deal with the past." ”

"Although this law says that the people's power is only used during the agricultural slack, but the real farmer, all year round, where can they be idle?"

"Don't forget that there are also servants on the farm!"

"What is the Han and Tang Dynasty Soldiers? That's a good family, a family with the financial strength to bring their own armor, knives and guns! ”

"Therefore, Shaanxi's law of protecting armor, no matter how it must be changed, is to first remove the fourth and fifth class households from the list of armor protection."

"Also, I don't think it's appropriate to cut a large number of soldiers and archers from the Inspection Department and the County Lieutenant Division."

"Now we in Shaanxi, not bad money, not bad land, my idea is to first eliminate the soldiers who have been fighting for a long time in the army, and improve the quality of the army. Then the discharged sergeants had to have a place to go, just so that they could be enriched into the two county divisions. The former soldiers and archers of the two divisions were cut back to the countryside, and they were to serve as local armor. ”

In fact, this is the way in which later generations of soldiers were transferred to enrich the local public security police force, and now the county-level police department is too poor, so let the retired soldiers do it.

Then the new forces and the old forces checked and balanced each other, and neither side dared to go too far out of the ordinary.

Sima Guang muttered: "This only solves part of the problem, and all households are ...... joint insurance."

Su You said: "The joint protection of all households is just an organization, and their duty is not to participate in the drill as a reserve, but to persuade each other to do business, help each other, and prevent the signs of committing adultery. This can be combined with the implementation of the township covenant to cultivate people's customs and morality. ”

This is to turn the joint protection of all the guards into the work responsibilities of the aunts in the community in the future.

"Correspondingly, for the Baojia who have retired from the county government, I am ready to keep them in the county government, and at the same time strengthen training, so that there is no need for a place to work."

"Each village is equipped with a security room, and these armor guards are only responsible for the security of their own villages, as for the proofreading or something, let the county order inspection department go down to the villages to inspect and inspect, and it is not allowed to focus on the proofreading of the armor for no reason, so as not to work hard and hurt money."

"Of course, the children of third-class households who are willing to join the army, I greatly welcome them, this one who takes the path recommended by the state and county, allows them to go to various states to participate in the selection of martial arts, and the assessment regulations will be promulgated soon."

"Poor scholars, rich scholars, martial arts, these children have no problem going far."

"Bachelor, sir, do you think we can deal with the above?"

Sima Guang said: "It's good, but you not only didn't save expenses, but increased expenses, and ...... There are more people......"

Su You said with a smile: "The local archers and soldiers, do you really rely on the money issued by the county?" Not a loot yet? Now I agree that they should return to their hometowns with their money, and that the cost of living in the countryside is much lower than in the cities; second, in their own township, things can't be done too much; Third, there is also the inspection and supervision of retired soldiers, which is better than concentrating in the county and becoming a burden on the county, right? ”

"The inspection department and the county lieutenant department have been replaced by professional soldiers, and the quality of the sergeants is much higher than before, and the corresponding manpower can be streamlined.

"This part of the burden, the Shaanxi Road Transit Division allocated a special fund to subsidize, anyway, now we are not short of money."

Sima Guang and Shao Yong, I am afraid that they have not seen the people of Shaanxi live a good life since they were born, and the changes in the past few years are earth-shaking, and they still believe in Su You's ability, and finally agree.

Sima Guang said: "Mingrun, that Baoma is ......"

Su You immediately gave up his hand: "This method is resolutely not working, I will make it clear that I oppose it in the last chapter." ”

This was a compromise with the conservatives in exchange for Sima Guang's agreement to reform the law.

Sima Guang expressed satisfaction with Su Mingrun's attitude, and felt that this child could still be saved: "What else?" Let's say it together, I don't believe you want to make this specious 'armor protection method', only this purpose, this is not your Su Mingrun style. ”

Su You smiled: "If the armor protection law is to be implemented, you have to find out the households, Dingkou, and fields." ”

"This is a good thing, now there are few people in the southeast of Shaanxi, there are few people in the north, the burden in the south is heavy, but there is no one in the north to cultivate."

"I plan to use a large amount of arable land to recruit fourth- and fifth-class households in the southern states, and let them go to the north to mingle with the Han households from Western Xia in accordance with the relief and support policy of Weizhou back then, farming, grazing, and intermarrying."

"At the same time, a policy will be issued to inspect the prefectures and counties next spring, and if uncultivated land is found, the government has the right to intervene and supervise it, and the state has the obligation to redeem those lands from large households according to the market price."

Sima Guang was shocked: "This is an offense to the interests of the upper class." ”

Su You's hands were spread: "Don't worry, bachelor, of course I have other auxiliary means, and I won't let the big ones lose." ”

"The key is that the righteousness is in my hands, and it will be supported by a large number of low-class households."

"Could it be that they have no one to cultivate, and when Shaanxi is short of food, can the country let those lands be empty?"

"If they want to retain customers, can't they lower their rental rates? When land is no longer a scarce resource, and manpower becomes a scarce resource, the price of land will fall in the first place, and selling land will not reduce the burden on the upper class households? ”

"This is determined by the laws of economics. Everyone has the right to choose a better life, even if it is a fourth- or fifth-class household or a landless customer. ”

"Superior households do not have the legal privilege to force their customers to stay."

"Bachelor, two gentlemen, I would like to ask, is it not the dream goal of those of us in power to let the tiller have his land? Now in Shaanxi, there is the possibility of realizing this dream, how should we choose? Should we do it? ”

Zhang Zai immediately said: "I'm going to launch a task force on this matter, and I'm a person with lofty ideals in Guanluo, so I should do it!" ”

Shao Yong also stroked his palm: "What a big cause, hahaha the cultivator has his field, what a big career!" ”

Sima Guang was still a little hesitant: "This matter must be perfect, Mingrun, ploughing cattle, seeds, and farm tools must be prepared, circulated and placed along the way, and there can be no fork in the way, otherwise it will inevitably attract attacks." ”

Su You said: "The matter has been prepared, this matter, I will ask for the strong support of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the High Prime Minister of Shangzhou." ”

"The three are the leaders of Shaanxi Shilin, and what I'm worried about is that I won't get your support."

"If you don't want to, I didn't say anything before; If you can support me, Shaanxi scholars, farmers, industry, and businessmen, even if we have walked on the same road, we will work together to do a good job in Shaanxi. ”

Today is probably the happiest day after Sima Guang returned to Shaanxi: "Shaanxi is the front line of Xia, and the new law has many constraints and is difficult to implement. Mingrun, you just have to let it go, the old man fully supports you! ”

"We want Your Majesty to see that in addition to those new methods, the original Great Song Dynasty, the original Shaanxi, there are other options!"

Su You stood up: "This matter is the great interest of the country, and it is also certain that it will be obstructed, so the focus of this matter is not in governance, but in public opinion." ”

"Shilin Fengyi must cooperate with the task force, go out, sink down, publicize in place, and publicize solidly. Let the people fully understand the policy and not be misled by people with ulterior motives. ”

"We will transform a place before we get a solid place, and we would rather not move until public opinion has the upper hand."

"Su Youli can't afford this matter, so I'll ask the bachelor and the two gentlemen."

Sima Guang said with a smile: "This military order, the old man dares to take it!" ”

Benevolent government is the highest program of Confucian governance, and it is also the theoretical division between conservatives and reformers.

Although both factions hold high the banner of benevolent government, the conservatives know how to shout slogans, but they do not come up with practical measures.

The reformers saw clearly that the country was in urgent need of reform, and they also shouted slogans, but in practice, it was still Shang Ying's Sang Hongyang, and he was pinched by the conservatives.

The progressive significance of the Shang Dynasty's reform of the law and the transformation of the Qin state from slavery to feudalism is unquestionable.

And Wang Anshi's change, after careful study, cannot be compared with Shang Ying's change.

But is there really no third option? At least in Weizhou, in Shaanxi, Su You gave another answer.

Of course, this is a dividend brought about by the complete control of Shimenxia and the fundamental reversal of the military posture in northern Shaanxi, which may not necessarily be applicable to other regions.

Economic growth can indeed mask and compensate for many problems.

Su You's approach is to let this dividend benefit everyone in Shaanxi, rather than returning to the old road of being carved up and swallowed by a few people.

This makes the conservatives very satisfied, Shaanxi is their base camp, and if Shaanxi does a good job, they will have solid evidence to confront the reformers.

This is the fundamental reason why Sima Guang supports Su You.
