Chapter 1089: The Big Fish Comes to Cast

Li Zhongyi has always admired the 20-level military merit awarding system of the Qin Dynasty and vigorously promoted it in the army.

However, after the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, the world gradually became peaceful, and the opportunities for military merit to be awarded knights and land and slaves were greatly reduced, but its disadvantages became increasingly prominent.

The core problem is that once the war is stopped, it means that the grass people at the bottom of the society of the old Qin people will lose the opportunity to improve their social status, thus causing the fatal problem of class solidification.

Qin established the country by force and ruled the country by law, and the whole country practiced a super militaristic system. If there is no war for a long time, the officers and soldiers of the Qin army will not have the opportunity to make extra money.

The logic that no profit can not be made early is applicable everywhere!

The Qin army, which had no battle to fight, rapidly became corrupt and degenerate in the six eastern countries where privileged culture prevailed, and its combat effectiveness also plummeted.

Qin Shi Huang also saw this terrible scene, and in order to appease the part of the Qin army that had not yet made a fortune, he had no choice but to launch a war to unify Baiyue, which was also the root of the large-scale southern expedition of 500,000 Qin troops.

The blade can kill the enemy, but it can also eat its master, and the ruler must not be observed!

More than two thousand years of extraordinary insight allowed Li Zhongyi to master the magic weapon to avoid the tragedy of the Qin army, and in a sense, Li Zhongyi was much luckier than Qin Shi Huang.

The ubiquity of the Judge Advocate General's Department, the thorough separation of revenue and expenditure, the logistical system independent of military generals, the random inspection and auditing of military officers anytime and anywhere, and the strict punishment of all corrupt officers have so far been very effective in curbing the corruption of officers at all levels.

In the Li family's army, an incentive mechanism combining semi-monetization and semi-military merit awarding land was adopted, specifically, more spoils of war were divided, less land was divided, and more silver tickets were given.

The Yongye field divided by the soldiers, and those who made first-class merits were only 500 acres at most, and everyone only had 200 acres of fertile land on average.

The rest is monetized and distributed to everyone on a monthly basis in the form of salaries or rewards.

In the Li family's army, the gap between the rich and the poor has always been controlled within a reasonable range, and the number of commanders at the military level is no more than 30 times that of the lowest-level recruits.

The biggest dividend for the officers and soldiers of the Li family actually comes from the division of the spoils after the victory.

Winning dividends and losing eating soil is a fair distribution mechanism.

Dividing the spoils of war is the profit-sharing model that Li Zhongyi has been vigorously promoting since the rise of the Hechi Army, and its core lies in the fact that he wants to use the change of the distribution mechanism to break the law of the dead cycle of chaos.

As long as it is a time of peace, the population will inevitably skyrocket, but the arable land is limited, and when there is no separation, social contradictions will become more and more prominent.

If the nouveau riche greed for land is not curtailed from the outset, the cycle of chaos will certainly not be avoided.

The rulers of the past dynasties, limited by the incomplete concept of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce, were very short-sighted, and their eyes were always only fixed on one acre and three points of land in ancient China. But they don't know that as long as they vigorously develop shipping, they can completely transfer the contradictions in the distribution of domestic interests through colonization overseas.

In the history of China, the maritime trade of the two Song Dynasty was unusually developed, however, the real power of the whole country was controlled by the Wenchen bureaucrats who had been brainwashed by Confucianism, and not only did not develop the economic model of overseas colonization, but even staged a historical tragedy without China after Yashan.

Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the West, although he greatly promoted his prestige in Southeast Asia and other places, and also did some overseas trade. However, that was just a by-product of Zhu Laosi's dislike of literature and martial arts, and he was so happy.

After Zhu Laosi's death, his children and grandchildren were fooled by the ministers, and they actually played a stinky chess game that forbids the sea, which is really a pity.

The spoils dividend system led by Li Zhongyi is, to put it bluntly, to lay a solid foundation for colonizing overseas in the future.

If the upstarts who follow Li Zhongyi Conglong want to keep their success and enjoy happiness, they have a salary and a permanent field, which is not enough compared to the above, and more than enough to be compared to the bottom.

If the upstarts want to make a fortune, they can only follow Li Zhongyi's baton and aim the spearhead of grabbing interests at the vast new world overseas.

Not Li Zicheng, this is a famous quote of a great man, and Li Zhongyi has always thought so!

After the last military pillar of the imperial court was defeated, in fact, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty had collapsed, and the Central Plains was also in Li Zhongyi's pocket.

After the annihilation of Hantong's army, more than 200,000 prisoners of war were likely to cause unforeseen disasters if there was no bullet pressure from the army.

In addition, Li Zhongyi did not rush into Kaifeng City, but issued a military order with chicken feathers, ordering quite Chaoyong to lead an elite cavalry battalion to rush directly to Kaifeng City, and be sure to intercept all the officials, gentry and wealthy merchants in Kaifeng City.

What are you kidding, the Li Jiajun went out with all their might, and the soldiers were not afraid to sacrifice their blood to fight, but let the largest fat sheep crowd escape from Kaifeng, wouldn't it be a busy work?

The local tyrants must be beaten, the fields must be divided, and the money must be looted, otherwise, how will the interests of the nouveau riche be balanced?

However, Li Zhongyi's equalization of wealth and poverty was limited to the bureaucrats, landlords, and wealthy merchant classes, and could not be extended to the rich peasants or even the middle peasant class.

Whether it is an autocratic imperial society, a Western feudal society, or a capitalist society, the higher the proportion of the middle class, the more prosperous the country will be, and this has become an objective law of the development of the entire society.

Li Zhongyi stayed in Wolongling and did not move, the main consideration was to completely digest more than 200,000 forbidden army prisoners.

After the first emperor Chai Rong ascended the throne, the first major thing he did was to comprehensively reorganize the army, recruiting young and strong people, and eliminating the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Over the years, the physical fitness of the imperial forbidden army has been fantastic. Moreover, the imperial forbidden army has also undergone many years of military training and has a certain military quality.

What Li Zhongyi has to do now is to do three major things: eliminate all the officers in the forbidden army, select some good soldiers from the best, and reorganize the Li family's army.

In the decisive battle with the imperial court, victory came too easily, and the existing five-army system in the Li family's army, if it was not expanded, the strength of the five army leaders would be too great.

After five days of careful consideration, Li Zhongyi already had a preliminary reorganization plan, but the time to really start the reorganization must be after entering Kaifeng City.

After being busy for more than two hours, Li Zhongyi finished reviewing the urgent military and government affairs documents at hand, and as soon as he picked up the teacup, he saw Chu Xiong walking in lightly.

"Master, there's a big fish over there in Kaifeng." Chu Xiong's mysterious report said, "Wei Xianggong is here in person. ”

Li Zhongyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, it had only been five days since the defeat of Han Tong's army, and Wei Renpu had actually rushed outside his camp gate, so it was conceivable that Comrade Wei had already made preparations.

According to normal estimates, it will take at least a day for the news of the defeat of the imperial army to reach Kaifeng City.

If Wei Renpu hadn't been on duty in the political hall, I'm afraid he would have to learn the details a day later, and he would have to discuss secretly with his henchmen, and then make the decision to take refuge on his own initiative, and even rush to surrender to Cheng on the road, cough, the time is too tight.

"Come on, open the door, put on a full guard of honor, I want to welcome Wei Xianggong in person!"

Li Zhongyi got up with a smile on his face and walked out, the new situation had already begun, and it was his unshirkable responsibility to reverse the future and fate of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

PS: I drank too much last night, and I woke up in the early morning, and I finally made up for it, and I asked for a monthly pass! (https:)
