"The first is for the poor people who are physically strong, the state can recruit them into the army, so that after these people enlist in the army, first of all, their own food and clothing problems are solved, and after getting the money, the old and young in the family also have a way to live, this is the first way, but this method is also a little bad, that is, if the poor, disaster victims, and displaced people in every place adopt this practice, according to the practice of our Great Yan Dynasty, it is not until the age of sixty that they can withdraw from the army, so that in the later stage, it may take a long time, maybe decades laterThe financial burden on the state is bound to be very large, and most of the soldiers are displaced by disasters, and their combat quality is worrying, which is also a major shortcoming. ”

"Well, what you said is all right, now that there are indeed signs of the palace soldiers in our dynasty, I mean, if it is really in the later stage, how to solve the problem after the national palace soldiers accumulate and it is difficult to return?" Lu Lao asked.

"Well...... Cao Yi smiled. This is to make a decision on the current saint, that is, to change the conscription system of our dynasty today, combine the conscription system with the government military system, and learn from each other's strengths. ”

Lu Lao asked with interest: "What kind of combination method?" ”

"For the poor and homeless, the army will be recruited for three years, and at the end of the three-year period, the army will be disarmed and returned to the field.

"In that case, what about local hazards?"

"It is registered, and it is supervised by the local military and the government, and the military and road jiedu envoys can supervise each other with the governor and the prefect, just like the general judgment and supervision of the prefect and the governor, the military and the government control each other, but this is a big deal, and if it continues, it is to formulate national policies, and I don't know much about it as a little scholar, so I won't discuss it too much......" Cao Yi quickly shirked it and ended the topic.

Lu Lao scolded with a smile, "You little slippery head...... Even if you're done with the first one, what about the second solution? ”

"The second way? As I mentioned before, we can absorb some of the poor through recruitment, and another way is to let those poor families 'sell' their sons and 'women'. Cao Yi said calmly.

"Selling sons and selling women?" Lu Lao repeated in disbelief, he thought he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, it is to 'sell' the son and 'sell' the woman, but it is not really sold, or just sold for a few years, in fact, it is equivalent to finding a woman to sign a long-term contract with a rich and noble family and becoming a long-term worker in their family, for ten, twenty, or thirty years, so that the children will not starve to death, and second, the family can also rely on this in exchange for money, so that others can survive."

"Well, it's barely an enforceable solution, but is there anything else?"

"There are others, but I don't know if it's suitable for ......," Cao Yi muttered.

Let's hear it. For the first two Cao Yi said, Lu Lao is actually quite satisfied, which shows that Cao Yi does have the talent to help the world and save the people, so for the third one, he has the mentality that it is best to be effective, and it doesn't matter if it is ineffective.

"Counterpart labor export." Cao Yi said with a smile on his face.

"Counterpart labor export?" Lu Lao repeated suspiciously, he really didn't understand what it meant now.

"Well, the counterpart is one-to-one, labor export is very well understood, that is, through the government, the poor people in Shu and the labor force who can't live can be exported to the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Jiangning, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, these places have been rich since ancient times, and the people of Shu come here to earn far more wages than Shu by working for others, and the wife's parents and children stay in Shu, and those who have fields at home will plant a kind, and there will be a little harvest, and then the strong men in the family will go out to work to make money...... ”

"Isn't that pushing the population of your own area outward?" Lu Lao asked puzzledly, in ancient times, population was actually the largest strategic resource, otherwise wars would not have broken out so frequently in ancient times, and the seizure of land was only one of the reasons, in fact, it was more about seizing the population above the land, which was the foundation and guarantee of a country's national strength.

"That's why we have to export it to the counterpart." Cao Yi continued in Lu Lao's puzzled gaze: "It is the Shu government that sets up offices in each important city, responsible for the overall management of those Shu laborers who come out of Shu and seek a livelihood in the local area. Compile them in the book, when the year comes, organized round trips, and to a certain extent, become their backers in the field, such as some arrears of wages, deductions of wages and the like, the office on behalf of the Shu government and the owner to communicate, as much as possible to help their own people, and according to the current speed of traffic, unless it is a carriage, otherwise the road is still far, so that the government can come forward to give them a unified rental carriage, so that the cost of each person is relatively small, In addition, if someone feels that the round-trip fare and time are not consuming, then they can hand over the money earned from their part-time jobs to the officials of the office and entrust them to hand over to their families in their hometowns, but the premise of this is that the government can gain the trust of the people......

"And these people are generally going out to work alone, their wives and parents are in their hometown of Shudi, and their roots are still there, and they still have to go back in the final analysis, after all, there are still a few people in the world who can abandon their families and children. Therefore, for those who go out to work to earn a living, we must communicate well with the labor export place, for example, the government of Shu should communicate well with the government of Hangzhou, and there will be thousands or tens of thousands of people on my side to come to your territory to seek livelihood, hoping to take care of one or two more, and communicate with the official and the official, this is the counterpart output mentioned before, so that there is no fear of population loss, because everyone is edited in the book and is well documented. But in the early stage, the Shu government should do a good job in this regard, organize and plan the export of labor services, and not let them be aimless

Run around, otherwise it will be really easy for the population to become someone else's. After Cao Yi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Lao with a smile, as if he was a student who answered the teacher's question and waited for the teacher's praise.

Lu Lao's eyes narrowed into a line when he heard this, but this small gap revealed a breathtaking light at this moment, and only at this time did he slightly reveal the majesty and bearing that he had when he ruled the court before. Don't look at Lu Lao's expressionless face at this time, but in his heart he was deeply shocked by Cao Yi's arguments, and it can even be said that he was frightened. The first two of the three methods mentioned by Cao Yi can be implemented, and they are currently being done or planned to be done by the imperial court, indicating that the methods proposed by Cao Yi have risen to the level of national policy.

As for the last solution, in Lu Lao's cognition, no one seems to have mentioned it like this, or he himself has never thought about it, in this era, the emphasis is on taking root, in addition to the students and scholars who travel to study or go to Beijing to catch the exam, or the officials who are sent to work, the border guards or the professional soldiers recruited as the Xiang Army, at most one more businessman who will inevitably earn a lot of money as long as he can successfully go into business. As for the people at the bottom of the society and the poor class, in order to make a meager livelihood, a large-scale migrant work is something that has never been thought of before, not to mention the government setting up offices across jurisdictions to serve the people...... It can be said that all kinds of views and ideas mentioned by Cao Yi have never been mentioned before and no one has thought about it, but if you think about it carefully, although it is a little difficult to complete these things, it does not mean that they cannot be implemented at all, there are still many doorways in it, which are worth thinking about and studying.

Lu Lao looked at Cao Yi, who was smiling hippie at this time, with a little childishness on his face, and even the polite young man who had four years to go to the crown was full of emotion for a while. This student of his, judging from the present alone, is already a great talent with thousands of poems and books in his belly, thousands of hills and valleys in his chest, and the people and society in his heart, and he dare not think about what kind of development will be in the future.

If you write a book, you must be a writer who can carry on the holy and peerless learning, and if you become an official, you must be a capable minister who can establish a life for the people, but what if the position is a little higher...... Can we set up a heart for the world and open peace for all generations?

Lu Lao was shocked by what he thought in his heart just now, but at the same time, he felt a little guilty and regretful, and even mixed with a trace of expectations that he didn't have, as a former great minister, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is the ideology that he has implemented all his life, but just now, he actually wanted to see what kind of situation it would be if Cao Yi did the sake of the king of a country, and even, he also fantasized about what kind of experience it would be if he was a courtier under such a monarch......

It will be compared to Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty...... A more virtuous saint?

Thinking of this, Lu Lao quickly shook his head and shook off this rebellious thought in his mind.
