Zhu Houzhao is also not interested in finding trouble with Jianzhou Nuzhen, Daming's problem is his own problem in the final analysis, not an external problem. Even in the last years of Chongzhen, the Houjin of Liaodong could only jump there, not because of how strong he was, but because the Ming Dynasty was too weak, so weak that he couldn't believe it.

"Wang Shouren, do it well!" Zhu Hou looked at Wang Shouren and said with a smile: "The road of the Ming Dynasty is ahead, and our road is also ahead, and this Ming Dynasty will stand brilliantly on top of the world." ”

Wang Shouren didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said such a thing, but Wang Shouren still bowed down and said: "I am willing to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, and I will be prosperous for all eternity." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren and showed a smile, changing the military household system to the recruitment system, Zhu Houzhao also hesitated and considered, he knew the benefits of the recruitment system, and also knew the disadvantages of the recruitment system. The advantage is that the professionalization of the army can better train generals and soldiers, the combat effectiveness will soar, and the army's fighting spirit will also be greatly improved under the stimulation of military merits and silver rewards.

What's the downside? It's very simple, it costs money, it will cause a lot of pressure on the finances, and a little carelessness will cause the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Houzhao still chose to do this, not because he saw the shortcomings of the conscription system in this era, but because Zhu Houzhao chose to ignore this shortcoming. If you don't have money, then you can make money, if you can't make money, then you can grab money, in the next era of global colonization, anything can be weak, that is, your fist can't be weak, go out to fight, go out to rob, as long as you can grab it, then you have money.

When the Ming Dynasty immediately slashed and the Ming Dynasty's taxes were not enough, then go south, north, west, and everything that could be directed to rob and kill.

If this is not enough, then go to sea, set up cannons to rob, to plunder, and provide for the whole world, Zhu Houzhao does not believe that it is not enough.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, how many troops should be recruited in Liaodong?" Wang Shouren looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of his own family, and asked with a little hesitation, although Jiubian is a military town and there are many soldiers, but now it is a military household system, and after the recruitment system, the cost of raising the army has increased greatly, if there are more soldiers, then there will be no money, which is also what Wang Shouren is worried about.

But looking at the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that this soldier is indispensable, after all, more than 20,000 people have been left after selection, and if all of them are turned into recruitment, it will be a lot of expenses.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not satisfied, and he continued to recruit troops, but this money became a problem, and Wang Shouren didn't dare not ask!

"Fifty thousand!" Zhu Houzhao didn't think about it and said directly: "20,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers are not counted." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren was immediately shocked, so much? Recruit 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers, this is not a small amount, the key is that the auxiliary soldiers are not counted! You must know that the current Beijing camp, 50,000 Black Dragon Army, 10,000 Black Dragon Guards, plus 10,000 Shenji Battalion, spend money every year like flowing water, and Liaodong should do the same?

"His Royal Highness the Prince, is there more?" Wang Shouren said with a little hesitation, in Wang Shouren's opinion, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, this is a lot.

"Not much!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head directly and said: "This time the palace will hit Wuharyan and rebuild Daning, which will become an important town in northern Xinjiang, some of these soldiers are there, and Liaodong will become another Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty in the future, more soldiers are needed here, and more people are needed to guard it, so do what the palace says!" ”

Zhu Houzhao has high hopes for Liaodong, which is now vast and sparsely populated, and can be arranged as much as possible according to his own ideas, and Zhu Houzhao wants to build Liaodong into a base.

Sooner or later, his own reform will touch the roots of some people, and since the strategy of moving from the north to the south has been decided, there is no reason to stop; once the officials and gentry are rolled out in one piece, Zhu Houzhao does not know how much trouble will be made, so he must make full preparations, prepare for the worst, accumulate the strongest strength, and carry out reforms, only succeed, not fail.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Wang Shouren's expression also became serious, he knew that this was His Royal Highness the Prince's decision, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister understands!" ”

Wang Shouren left, Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that his choice was not wrong, but with Wang Shouren joining, things have become much smoother. First of all, it was announced that the military household system would be changed to a recruitment system, even if more than 20,000 people were screened out, if there were those who did not want to be soldiers, you could also go home, and the imperial court did not require it.

In addition, the fields are divided according to the population, and the fields of the generals are taken out and distributed to the military households, but the fields that are allocated have to pay taxes. Of course, if you don't want it, it's okay, the rest of the military tun fields, Zhu Houzhao directly handed over to the governor of Liaodong Yamen as public rental land. The public leased land of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to the state-owned farms of later generations, which were governed by the imperial court, leased to the people, let the people cultivate, and then pay rent.

Of course, public rental land in this era is no longer popular, and people don't like to rent public rental land, because renting private land is cheaper.

What will be cheaper to feed? Because they don't pay taxes, in the final analysis, it's still the pot of the tax system, but it doesn't matter, no one plants the public rental land, you can find a way to find someone to plant, Zhu Houzhao believes that someone will come here soon to farm, including reclamation in Liaodong, and there will be no less. Zhu Houzhao is very confident in this, and it will not be too long.

At the same time, the treatment of conscription was also announced, and in addition to the salary, there were also cloth and food.

Before the tax reform, the taxes paid by various localities were cloth, grain and silver, of which the proportion of silver was still the least, and it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to toss and sell cloth and grain for silver to send to the soldiers, and let the soldiers take money to buy cloth and grain, although it can increase GDP, but it will cause some problems, such as the price of cloth and grain is not constant.

Under such conditions now, the distribution of food and cloth can make the soldiers feel at ease, and the salary of the soldiers in Liaodong is much lower than that of the Black Dragon Army, which is also a helpless thing, and the wages in different places in the future generations will be different.

Things are complicated, this time reflects Wang Shouren's ability, he actually adjusted very well, without the slightest mess, of course, the silver was also spent like flowing water, but Zhu Houzhao didn't care too much, isn't the money spent? Don't have enough money? That's impossible, Zhu Houzhao still has some savings in the past few years.

plus the two million taels allocated by my father, it is enough to cope with the military reform in Liaodong this time, and the follow-up money will be gone, so I have to earn it myself.

"Your Highness, the Qian Fan is here." Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side, bowed down and said, Liu Jin has been low-key for a while, and he has never left the hotel at all, and he also knows that he is hated now.
