Regarding Li Longji's appointment, Pei Min naturally responded here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The conscription system was proposed by him, and it is unlikely that he wants to stay out of it.

Moreover, after the Battle of Jincheng, Pei Min became more and more aware of the role of strengthening the army, and the current dangerous situation of the government military system showed more and more that the implementation of the conscription system was imperative.

In his memory, conscription was a product of force.

In the face of the collapse of the government military system, Li Longji and Yao Chong did not come up with a solution to the conscription system in history, but acted in accordance with Yao Chong's method, intending to prescribe the right medicine for the maladministration of land annexation, and intended to cure the disease and re-implement the government military system. However, facts have proved that prescribing the right medicine may not be able to cure the disease.

Li Longji and Yao Chong are certainly powerful, but the land annexation is too widely implicated. Those who hold the land are big landlords, big bureaucrats, and big gates. For thousands of years, land annexation has been an incurable disease of the centralization of feudal society, and it has been the same in all dynasties. If you want to cure it in a short time, it's a fool's dream.

The policies at the top are drastic, and they can't stand the disobedience of the yang and yin at the bottom, and there are many obstacles, and they can't see the results without five or six years of hard work.

At the same time, the drawbacks of the government military system are becoming more and more serious, and now there is only a shortage of soldiers, and in three or four years, there will be no soldiers available.

Instead of waiting until the fire burns the brows, and then consider a way, directly push the recruitment system to the agenda, only in the interests of the country.

Compared with land annexation, Li Longji cares more about the conscription system, and has been talking with Pei Min about the key to the conscription system.

Pei Min has conducted in-depth research in this regard, responded to them one by one, and said: "Recruitment is to recruit strong soldiers for the country to protect the country and open up the frontier. The biggest taboo is indiscriminate recruitment, and a strict recruitment system needs to be established, and only those who meet the conditions are qualified to become soldiers. Enjoy benefits such as food and clothing, exemption from forced labor, etc. This is related to the morale and combat effectiveness of our Tang Dynasty soldiers, and it must be strictly checked and not negligent. ”

The birth of a system needs to go through a certain period of trial and fill in the deficiencies after the test of time, so that it can truly benefit the country. Just like the imperial examination, the imperial examination system originated in the Sui Dynasty, but the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty was a puddle of mud, which had little effect, but had a good idea to start. The Tang Dynasty improved and perfected this idea, and through a hundred years of improvement, it gradually became an indispensable excellent system in Chinese history. That's why the imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty.

The conscription system is the same, Zhang said that when the conscription system was first proposed, it was just an idea, and there were many flaws that were reflected little by little when it was implemented. Historically, when the conscription system had just come out, the cavalry army responsible for guarding the Beijing division recruited most of the scoundrels in the market, resulting in widespread corruption and low combat effectiveness in the army. Local solidarity soldiers lack financial support, are poorly equipped, and are few in number. At the same time, the military strength of the border towns is extremely strong, resulting in a situation where the outside is thick and the inside is fine.

There is also the lesson of the Song Dynasty, when the Song Dynasty officials recruited soldiers, local officials often used the old and sick to indiscriminately fill the strong, and the officers often oppressed and enslaved the sergeants, deducting salaries, so that many sergeants had a difficult livelihood and had to concurrently engage in other jobs, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the Song army, and the incidents of sergeants fleeing and resisting also emerged one after another. Due to the indiscriminate recruitment of assassins, the selection was not real, the training was quite poor, and the huge military expenditure often accounted for seven-or eight-tenths of the Song Dynasty's financial expenditure, but it was extremely difficult to build a steel division.

These malpractices of the conscription system will only be revealed after the test of time, but Pei Min knows these malpractices because he is a traverser. When talking about the conscription system, these drawbacks and precautions will be emphasized. What can be improved will be improved, and what cannot be avoided will be repeatedly admonished and paid attention to.

Li Longji and Yao Chong looked at Pei Min, who was gushing endlessly, and their faces showed shock.

The "conscription system" summarized by Pei Min is not an attempt, but a system that can be used directly.

Li Longji knew that Pei Min had a unique view of the recruitment system, but he didn't expect to go so deep, and he instantly felt that he was entrusted to someone else.

Yao Chong was also shocked, Pei Min's ability is well known in the entire court, a figure like him who has been in the court at a young age for less than two years, but has repeatedly made great contributions, can not find a few people in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Even if he knew that Pei Min was a young talent, Yao Chong couldn't have imagined that he was so powerful, "No wonder Your Majesty trusts him so much", and he regretted it for a while, and he shouldn't have done anything rashly to him.

For lunch, they ate for a full hour, during which most of them were Pei Min's one-man show for the recruitment system.

Yao Chong and Pei Min left the palace together under the leadership of Gao Lishi.

Yao Chongdao: "Pei Zhongcheng is a good means!" ”

Pei Min smiled: "Each other, each other!" ”

Yao Chongdao: "What Your Majesty said is reasonable, we are ministers in the same palace, and we should serve Your Majesty." ”

Pei Min bowed his head and said: "That's right! ”

They said things against each other's will, and they said goodbye and separated.

Yao Chong has his political ideas, and it is impossible to change them because of Pei Min. Pei Min didn't have the idea of reporting Yao Chong's thighs, he knew that Yao Chong's thighs were not thick.

It's just that Li Longji came forward, and it is impossible for the two not to sell the face of the Tang Emperor, and they are no longer hostile to each other.

In the short contest between the two, Pei Min had no loss at all, but Yao Chong broke an arm, and as a result, Pei Min still made a small profit.

In fact, Pei Min first planned to deal with Zhao Xu, a member of the Zhongshu House, but Liu Qiwu jumped out, so he simply played a little bit and directly pulled Liu Fan off the horse.

Wudeden!

"How?" Li Longji looked at Gao Lishi who walked into the hall.

Gao Lishi responded: "Everything is as Your Majesty expected, although Yao Xiang and Zhongcheng have not reconciled, they have accepted Your Majesty's kindness. ”

"That's it!" Li Longji nodded, now Datang is in ruins, Yao Chong and Pei Min are his right-hand men, once the two of them fight to the death, it will be a great harm to the development of Datang.

This is the first time to act as a peacemaker.

After pondering for a while, Li Longji said to Gao Lishi: "Pass my will, summon Song Jing, the assassin of Chuzhou, as the secretary of the criminal department, and enter Beijing on the same day." ”

"Yes!" Gao Lishi bowed down and obeyed orders, no one knew Li Longji's mind better than him, Yao Chong went overboard this time.

Yao Chong's ability to govern the world, looking at the present, is indeed unparalleled. Because of this, he was deeply entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Li Longji.

Zhang Shuo, Wei Zhigu, Liu Youqiu, Zhong Shaojing and others were all ministers close to Li Longji, in order to let Yao Chong serve him more attentively, even if he was reluctant, he still granted Yao Chong's request, and gave him a temple with him as the main body, so that he could fully exert his ability.

However, after Yao Chong expelled many senior members, he had to cultivate his own small group inch by inch, and challenge Li Longji's patience little by little. Now he has inexplicably made a move to Pei Min, and his repeated actions have angered Li Longji's bottom line.

At present, Datang needs Yao Chong, and Li Longji held him back for the time being. As soon as his value is exhausted, that is the day he will quit.

Song Jing is the candidate to replace Yao Chong.

Yao Chong's intention to control the government for a long time is tantamount to a fool's dream.

**********

On the same day, Pei Min went to report to the Ministry of War, Guo Yuanzhen was born in the Ministry of War, and is now the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and he is very prestigious in the Ministry of War. Pei Min had Guo Yuanzhen's support and quickly gained a firm foothold in the military department.

Since then, Pei Min has been in charge of the recruitment system.

Guo Yuanzhen is old and ill, although he has gradually recovered after rest and conditioning, his energy is limited, and he is only responsible for the overall situation, and the details are arranged by Pei Min.

Pei Min first boldly laid off 150,000 government soldiers and let them return to their hometowns to work as farmers, avoiding the pressure of military service, and then announced the recruitment of 100,000 soldiers in the Lianglong generation in Guanzhong.

Once you get an appointment, you will be provided with food and clothing, and you will be exempted from conscription!

Such welfare is undoubtedly a great temptation for the people, as soon as the edict came out, it immediately caused a sensation in Guanzhongliang and Longyi, and the responders were crowded, with nearly 200,000 strong men responding.

Pei Min then promulgated the selection system: those who are good at riding are given priority, those who are good at shooting are given priority, and those who are strong are given priority, and set a strict threshold for selection. 130,000 soldiers were selected, and Yiliang arranged for them to train, and eliminated those who did not train seriously, did not listen to orders, and fished in troubled waters through actual combat exercises.

This is more than half a year, autumn goes to winter, winter comes back in spring, and 130,000 soldiers are left with 110,000 people in the end.

These carefully selected soldiers dare not be compared with the battle-hardened soldiers of the Tibetans and Turks, but they are all excellent soldiers worthy of training. Dispatched to major military regions, and trained by the good generals, they will be able to form considerable combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Compared with the uneven government soldiers, it is much better.

The effectiveness of the conscription system was affirmed by Li Longji, who would select 100,000 elites to supply the 16 guards of Chang'an to strengthen the guards of the Beijing Division, and named them Changcong Suwei.

Pei Min himself was also promoted again because of his outstanding political achievements, and was promoted from the head of the military department to the squire of the military department!

Liang Guogong and Yushi Zhongcheng concurrently serve as the four titles of the military department squire and the loyal general, and they are in the limelight, not inferior to Yao Chong, the first prime minister.

In the autumn of the second year of Kaiyuan, the stormy Tang Dynasty, after a year and a half of hard work, has gradually taken on a new style.

The streamlining of the organization and the reduction of redundant officials have been completely completed, and most of the officials in the court are now capable ministers, and the situation of over-the-top officials has greatly improved, making the government full of vitality.

Especially at this moment, Li Longji humbly accepted advice, sympathized with the people's feelings, and also advocated frugality. For the livelihood of the people, he reclaimed 10,000 hectares of fertile land in the Yellow River valley and the Yangtze River basin, built eight water conservancy projects for the benefit of the country and the people, and also stipulated that ministers below the third grade, as well as concubines and concubines of the inner palace, were not allowed to wear ornaments made of gold and jade, and dismissed the palace maids to save expenses, and changed the extravagance of the harem since Wu Zetian.

He also listened to Zhang Jiuling's suggestion and ordered an inventory of the fugitive household registration and land outside his nationality throughout the country, and found more than 800,000 households, greatly increasing the source of tax revenue and military strength in the Tang Dynasty.

The weather of the prosperous era of Kaiyuan has gradually emerged!
