Chapter 70: Military Administration (1)

After lunch, Wang Ke hurried to the palace, and in the morning Comrade Li Er sent someone to tell him to enter the palace in the afternoon, but he was in a hurry and delayed the matter.

Wang Ke rushed to the palace, but he was still thinking about whether Comrade Li Er would get angry if he was late, and then what Comrade Li Er told him to go.

When he came to the imperial study, Wang Ke found that Comrade Li Er was alone in the room, and he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister is late." ”

Comrade Li Er shook his hand and said, "It's okay, I didn't say when you must arrive." ”

Wang Ke stood up, looked at Comrade Li Er cautiously and asked, "The emperor summoned his ministers today, I don't know what happened?" ”

Comrade Li Er pointed to the chair behind Wang Ke and said, "You sit down for a while, and then I'll talk to you after I've finished reading this." ”

Wang Ke glanced at what Comrade Li Er was looking at and found that it was exactly what he had written before.

Wang Ke silently retreated to the chair and sat down, looking around boredly. Wang Ke has not come to this imperial study once or twice, but he really hasn't taken a good look at the furnishings here, and today is the opportunity to take a good look.

Wang Ke in the later generations of decoration, he developed a habit, everywhere, like to see the design of decoration, and the construction of what 'color' place, now sitting here, Wang Ke can just seriously appreciate the Chinese classical design.

Wang Kezheng could see that he was in a daze, and when he heard Comrade Li Er calling himself, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, are you calling a minister?" ”

Comrade Li Er asked curiously: "What was the boy of the Wang family thinking just now, so engrossed?" I screamed at you a few times before you reacted. ”

Wang Ke hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister is just admiring the furnishings in the emperor's study, and he can see it for a while, and he didn't hear the emperor's call, which is really a capital crime!" ”

Comrade Li Er said with a smile: "This study is the furnishings arranged by me myself, can I still see it?" ”

turned a deaf ear to the emperor's call, and there was nothing to say to punish the crime, of course Wang Ke would have to make a big slap at this time.

Wang Ke hurriedly said: "It's very good, the furnishings are simple, but it's easy to use, there are no extra ornaments, and it looks very refreshing." It can be seen that the emperor's level of appreciation is very high! ”

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke's words, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed into a line.

Wang Ke was very happy to see Comrade Li Er, knowing that there should be no problem with what he had just done, and hurriedly asked: "The emperor called the minister today, is it to talk to the minister to support the article Chen last time?" ”

Comrade Li Er had really forgotten what Wang Ke had just called, and now when he saw Wang Ke asking himself, he said, "Exactly." I read it again just now, and you said that military personnel only manage the affairs of the army, and cannot 'interfere' in the management affairs of the DPRK and China, why is this? If you have any reason, you can tell me about it. ”

Wang Ke replied: "Your Majesty, do you think, every high-ranking general in this dynasty has fought the battlefield with the emperor, and there are a group of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for themselves. If they are allowed to 'meddle' in the affairs of the DPRK and China while managing the army, there is a possibility that there will be a time when power is too centralized, which will be very disadvantageous to the imperial court. ”

Comrade Li Er nodded thoughtfully, and motioned to Wang Ke: "Go on, it's just the two of us today, just say what you have, it doesn't matter." ”

Wang Ke saw that his words had touched Comrade Li Er, so he said: "The minister said before that the territory of our dynasty can be divided into several large regions, and each region can send a chief general to command, and the transfer will be carried out every few years. This should be a good precaution for the safety of the imperial court. ”

Comrade Li Er asked, "Then who will this lord send?" Are they being chosen from among these marshals now? ”

Wang Ke shook his head and said: "No, these marshals, the function is to let them stay in Chang'an, and they must not be easily let out when they are not fighting abroad." For them, it doesn't matter who their subordinates are in the past, because their merits and qualifications are there, and their subordinates will unconditionally obey their commands. ”

When Comrade Li Er heard this, his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, he had thought about this problem before, but he had never thought of a way to solve it. This time, when he saw the note written by Wang Ke, he vaguely felt a little bit, but he still didn't make it clear, and when he heard Wang Ke's explanation today, he knew that the crux of the problem he had thought about before was here.

Comrade Li Er said calmly: "This problem can be done, but how to solve the problem of soldiers? ”

Wang Ke said with a smile: "After talking to the emperor last time, this problem has been solved for the emperor. As Chen Tiao Chen wrote, soldiers should be soldiers of the imperial court, not 'private' soldiers under generals. The imperial court should gather the soldiers together, and the imperial court should provide for them, and pay them monthly salaries, so that they can concentrate on training so that they can fight at any time. And we can't just let them farm in peacetime, and organize them when there is a war, as we are now. This is not conducive to combat. ”

Comrade Li Er hesitated for a moment before saying, "Isn't this the burden of the imperial court heavier?" ”

Wang Ke replied: "Actually, there is no aggravation. Now each soldier was given a piece of land, and it seemed as if he didn't need to be supported by the imperial court. But every year there are countless wars, large and small, and when there is a war, these soldiers have to leave the land and go to the battlefield, and the land has no output because there is no one to take care of it. As soon as the battle was over, the soldiers returned and there was still no harvest, and the court still had to mobilize food for them to survive. ”

Wang Ke paused for a moment and let Comrade Li Er thoroughly understand what he said before he continued: "Instead of this, it is better to take back the land and 'hand' it over to the people to cultivate, and the court will collect the land tax from the people, and the court will use the field tax to support these soldiers." Even if it's not fully sufficient, it should be much lighter than before. ”

As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, Comrade Li Er applauded loudly, clapped his hands and said, "This method is good." The tax revenue of the imperial court increased, and the soldiers were also collected by the imperial court. This is very beneficial to the imperial court. ”

Comrade Li Er thought for a while and asked: "But in this way, if many people ask to join the army because the soldiers are supported by the imperial court, won't there be more and more people in the army?" ”

Wang Ke said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry about this, this will not happen." The imperial court could set a number of years of service for a soldier, such as five years or how long. When the time comes, select a part of the soldiers from the old age, let them take off their uniforms and go home, and then select some outstanding soldiers from the people to supplement the army, won't you be able to control the number of troops? ”

When Comrade Li Er heard this, he couldn't help but say: "This is like a refueling tactic on the battlefield, which can always maintain the size of the army. Well, it can be considered. ”
