In the huge Datang Army, it can be said that there are all kinds of talents, and to a certain extent, the officer class in the Datang Army is better than the civilian class in terms of overall quality.

Because if you want to get a knighthood, you can only rely on military merits, and since the founding of the Tang Dynasty for ten years, it has been improving the social status of soldiers, even after the end of the Unification War, Li Xuan is still constantly improving the social status of soldiers, and he has also said many times in public that whether it is short-term or long-term, the empire has no disarmament plan, and the troops that have built great merits for the empire will be retained.

At the same time, Li Xuan did not wantonly kill heroes, although it was said that there was a move to recall a military tycoon with great prestige like Hao Bonian back to Jinling City and no longer let them lead troops, but the glory and wealth that should be given, and the political status was the same, and after these people, a large number of new generation generals were also promoted to various important positions.

This is at most a kind of upgrading, and it does not say that the army is weakened!

In addition, Datang also has a policy of military transfer, officers can apply for transfer to local posts after a certain number of years, according to the current standards, colonel-level officers transferred to local posts, generally awarded from the fourth rank, this is to alleviate the worries of students applying for military academies to join the army.

Then the treatment of officers in Datang can be said to be quite good, the salary of officers, the lowest-ranking warrant officer, the annual salary is more than 100 taels of silver, and the second lieutenant has more than 200 taels of silver, and the annual salary of a major officer has reached more than 1,000 taels of silver, and if it is a general, the annual salary has reached more than 3,000 taels of silver.

And the above-mentioned salary does not include combat allowance, frontier allowance

If you are stationed in a border area and participate in combat, this income can be doubled.

In addition, there is an unspeakable loot income!

In a war, when the enemy is defeated, it is natural to be able to harvest a lot of spoils, and the bulk will go to the public, but the personal spoils will generally not go to the public, but to private ownership.

Relatively speaking, the treatment of non-commissioned officers and ordinary soldiers is also quite good compared to the average income of the whole society at present.

In this context, not to mention the poor children enthusiastically joining the army, even the enthusiasm of the soldiers to join the army is still relatively enthusiastic, of course, when the soldiers join the army, they will not be the head soldiers, but become officers by reporting to the military school.

Datang Army Martial Arts School, Datang Navy Naval Academy, these two military schools will welcome a large number of students to apply for the examination every year, and the difficulty of applying for the examination is no less than that of Guozijian University.

A large number of high-quality talents have continuously enriched the army and navy, and it has also made the overall quality of the officer class of Datang higher and higher.

How to say it!

Nowadays, the officers of the Tang Army are basically comprehensive talents who can swing a knife and slash when they get on their horses, can recite poems when they get off their horses, can write gorgeous articles on the desk, and understand all kinds of astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics and chemistry.

In terms of overall quality, it is higher than that of the civil servant group!

Especially the Army, even more so!

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many talents!

And in the army full of talents, Admiral Rewan has been able to maintain great prestige and power, which is enough to prove this person's ability.

This ability does not mean fighting wars, but the ability to be an official, and he can effectively integrate the forces of the army to fight with the outside world, and fight with the navy and the cabinet.

For the huge Tang Army, generals who can fight are talents, but those who can fight for the interests of the army in the court are also indispensable talents.

On the other hand, Admiral Rewan can also effectively act as a smoothing agent between the Holy Son of Heaven and the army, His Majesty trusts him, and the army also trusts him, which is the special status of Admiral Rewan.

Today, when I heard Qian Qili say that he would ask the army to come out with a shortfall of five million taels of silver, Admiral Lei Wan would endure it, and he just scolded him!

That's not a small amount of money, but five million taels of silver, if the military loses these five million taels of silver, I don't know how many soldiers stationed on the frontier need to endure hunger, he Lei Wan must not give an inch!

If today's meeting of the ministers on duty in the imperial study room was deducted from the army, Lei Wan knew with his toes that his career would basically come to an end, and he might not be able to save his life.

Without the help of other military bigwigs, those radical and young young Zhuang officers will be able to carry knives to his mansion tomorrow!

So what he said, as long as he doesn't die today, don't think about deducting the army's military expenses, this is true!

Even if the other eight ministers on duty agreed, he would never sign the new expenditure budget plan, and even he would resign directly to express his own and the entire army's protest!

Without the nod of the Army, this budget allocation plan cannot be expected to be passed, even if it is not said procedurally, but His Majesty will definitely not allow it.

Admiral Lei Wan knows very well that the special status of the military is supported by His Majesty, otherwise, after the end of the unification war, the status of the military would have plummeted, and the army and navy would each occupy the position of a minister on duty in the imperial study.

There are only nine ministers on duty in the imperial study at present, and the army and navy each occupy one.

Your Majesty, you will never allow these civilian officials to wantonly harm the interests of the Army!

Qian Aoli on the side heard Admiral Lei Wan shouting loudly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he scolded in his heart, these crude and unbearable martial artists don't understand the rules at all, what kind of place is this, this is the imperial study, how can it be loud, and Your Majesty has just left, it is estimated that it has only walked ten meters away, this roar, it is estimated that Your Majesty has heard it.

In fact, he guessed correctly, Li Xuan did hear it, and he only walked out more than ten meters away, Lei Wan's shouting was loud, how could he not hear it, but what if he heard it, he still didn't stop.

The accompanying secretary of the secretariat of the Hanlin Academy on the side hesitated, and then approached and whispered to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, they won't fight, do you want the minister to call the guards over just in case!" ”

Li Xuan said: "Don't worry, you can't fight, they are all shrewd!" But after finishing speaking, he just remembered that when these courtiers were arguing about the budget a few years ago, someone brought crutches in to beat people, and felt that what the accompanying secretary said still made a little sense, and immediately said: "But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, and I ordered to go down and let the guards send someone to watch it, so that they don't really fight!" ”

This involves budget issues, even if it is estimated that the minister on duty in the imperial study will not be able to maintain the demeanor of the past, Li Xuan has seen many times these ministers on duty who look like big men in front of outsiders, quarreling and even doing things for the budget.

In the early years, there was even such a thing as a full-force scuffle!

Li Xuan didn't want to see this happen again, otherwise, the face of the empire would have to be lost to them.

Li Xuan's guess was right, when the guard office who got the news sent a team of guards to run to the imperial study, there was really a fight inside!

However, it was not General Lei Wan and Qian Aoli, who quarreled at the beginning, who started fighting, but He Deyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and Wu Yan, the new inspector of the Zuodu Imperial Shishi!

Among these two people, Shi Wuyan is an old man in his sixties, He Deyuan is only in his fifties this year, and he is well maintained on weekdays, so Shi Wuyan screamed, and while smoking Shi Wuyan with the shoes he took off, he said: "If you want to reduce the funds of my Ministry of Commerce, I will kill you and ......me first."

But although Shi Wuyan was old and frail and was beaten on the ground, his mouth was not soft at all, and he still scolded: "He Deyuan, what a boldness, I will fiercely investigate your Ministry of Commerce when I go back, your Ministry of Commerce is already rotten, and it is not that you He Deyuan and others have been corrupted and wasted by taking so much administrative funds every year!" ”

"Fart, our Ministry of Commerce is such a big stall, to support industrial development, so many places need money, this budget is already less and less, you also proposed to deduct half, I can't get out of this bad breath if I don't kill me!"

"You fight, you fight, you have the ability to kill the official, even if you kill the official, my inspectorate still has to investigate your Ministry of Commerce!"

Although Shi Wuyan is old, he is an old man, although he was pressed to the ground and pumped with the sole of his shoe, but when he grabbed it with his backhand, he directly grabbed He Deyuan's hair, and when he pulled it, he pulled He Deyuan down, and then the two rolled on the ground and scuffled again!

Lu Laixia, the deputy director of the guard office who came to check the situation, just arrived at the imperial study with people, but he heard the shouts coming from inside, and he hurriedly led people to rush in, and then he saw two respected ministers on duty, rolling around on the ground and scuffling, and the hands were not light, one pumped with the sole of his shoes, and the other simply grabbed his hair.

He could see that there was obvious blood stains on He Deyuan's face, Nima, this attack was really ruthless!

What's even more strange is that there are two ministers on duty scuffling on the ground, and the other ministers on duty on the side, several of them continue to argue on the side as if they didn't see it, and a few people are standing or sitting on the side to watch the play, and Qian Aoli is sitting on the side, gnawing melon seeds, while saying: "Old Shi, flash quickly, he wants to hit you in the face!" ”

"Oh, Brother He held on!"

Seeing this scene, the deputy director of the guard department, Colonel Lu Laixia, opened his mouth wide, and he was even able to swallow an egg!

He was only transferred to the guard office this year, and he never thought that these important ministers of the empire, the dignified ministers on duty, would be like street hooligans scuffling at this moment, and there were people next to them who were gnawing melon seeds and watching the play, and some people didn't even care!

If this spreads to the outside, it will really lose the face of the entire empire!
