Apocalypse came to the Military Affairs Institute today, first, to check the planning of the Military Affairs Academy, and by the way, to say some of his thoughts for them to consider, and secondly, to hear about some things in the Southeast Military Region, to ask Yuan Keli, the overseer of the Southeast Military Region, to verify that the online game rode the old black into the rivers and lakes △ for a top manager who grasps the general direction, so that his subordinates know their general ideas and directions, and the subordinates can bury their heads in doing things, and the superiors grasp the direction and the subordinates do things carefully and solidly, which is tacit cooperation. If the superior hides everything and only lets the subordinate do it, and then denies it after the subordinate has made a detailed plan, it is disrespectful to the subordinate.

Moreover, this kind of negation also has to bear a certain risk, that is, if the subordinate is correct and is rudely denied by the superior, then the superior will lose his prestige in front of the subordinate, and things will develop to the point of irreparability. Even if the superior is right, it is not appropriate to deny the work of the subordinate by eating it, because that will dampen the enthusiasm of the subordinate for work, and no one likes to be regarded as a fool. During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang liked to give his subordinates tips and tricks before the war, one is to maintain his sense of mystery so that his subordinates are in awe of him, and another reason is probably not to let his subordinates have a sense of frustration and psychological obstacles between explanations and arguments.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Sun Chengzong asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it was difficult for many ministers to ask at first, but now no one else wants to ask you something." ”

Apocalypse smiled: "Sir, please tell me, the two of us haven't chatted for a long time, and now it's time to chat a few words." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "When Yuan Chonghuan recruited the 7,000 cavalry, he borrowed the income from the imperial village, and it was very rude not to greet him in advance, why did the emperor not say anything about it?" Do you approve of his approach or do you have a different opinion? ”

Tianqi said: "He used the income in the imperial village not for his own private use but for military training, although this is a bit arrogant, but it can be forgiven, after all, he is dedicated to the safety of the court, and excessive reprimand will chill the hearts of loyal and upright people." Besides, he borrowed as much as he wanted, and when the gentleman had time, he could just say a few words to him, and he would say that the money was used for whatever it was, and that it would need to be refunded at that time. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "The emperor is magnanimous and does not blindly accommodate, this is the most appropriate, but he also promised his soldiers that whoever has made meritorious contributions in the process of recovering Liaodong in the future can divide the land of Liaodong according to merit, what should the emperor do about this?" ”

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "I want to reprimand him for this, it is best for Mr. to write to him in person to tell him that the whole country is now gradually nationalizing privately owned land, and his current indiscriminate promise to privately divide land is contrary to the general direction of the imperial court, and it is also beyond the scope of his authority as a governor. Yuan Chonghuan still has loyalty, but he can't recognize his status and take it for granted, everything has an overall plan and order, and he can't let the overall situation revolve around the part. ”

Sun Chengzong asked, "What should we do with those soldiers?" If Yuan Chonghuan's promises to the soldiers were revoked in the form of an order from the imperial court, his prestige would probably be reduced or even completely lost. ”

Seeing Sun Chengzong mention Yuan Chonghuan's prestige among the soldiers, Tianqi knew that the two of them had a good relationship Sun Chengzong wanted to maintain Yuan Chonghuan, Tianqi said: "Mr. can reprimand him first and say that he was wrong to do that, and ask him to find a way to redeem the influence, this time no matter what ideas he has, he must report before acting, so that he can consider both the overall situation of the court and the emotions of the soldiers." ”

Sun Chengzong asked understandingly: "The emperor wants to hold him back first, in fact, the emperor already has a way, right?" ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Yuan Chonghuan has always been bold because he thinks he is loyal and capable, and he privately killed a deputy general surnamed Du a few years ago, just because this deputy general was corrupt. Of course, corruption should be punished, but you can't kill people when you see them, you have to look at the surrounding environment, if there are only a few people in the country's thousands of officials who are corrupt, then they will naturally kill a hundred people, the question is that there are no officials and no corruption at that time, but the degree is different, if you want to see corrupt officials again, you will destroy the Ming Dynasty, is there still anyone in the court? In the past few years, I have not cared about the past and only aimed at the future, and the effect of using the economic inspection system to control corruption** is much better than just wielding a knife and killing indiscriminately, right? ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "This minister is not to obey the emperor, this governance of corruption ** is like the management of floods, it is a long-term and complex process, I want to use stones and soil to block when Dayu's father Kun controlled the water, and the result was blocked from east to west and collapsed, after the water was blocked, once the piled up earth and stone wall collapsed, the monstrous flood was more harmful, so Dashun killed Kun to thank the world. Dayu does not need to block the water and use the method of grooming, which makes the floods in Kyushu gradually subside, the emperor does not care about the past only for the future implementation of the economic inspection system, it can be said that the law of Dayu channeling. ”

Tianqi said: "But Yuan Chonghuan doesn't understand, so I want to beat him and let him be cautious The king of urban guns ∞ way is that his promise to others remains unchanged, as long as everyone makes meritorious service, they can divide the land according to their merits, but these divided land must be taxed according to the system, that is to say, the ownership is the state, and they have the right to collect rent." Those who have made a lot of credit can be exempted from taxes for a few years, and then gradually reduce the tax amount for a few years, and finally treat it like everyone else. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "This is very good, so in the Xiaoluanhe dam in the name of the big iron company to organize people to do things, according to the emperor to let everyone enjoy the pension, in the future to pay more people can pay for it, the question is how much was not collected in the first few years, the emperor is sure to pay all?" That's not a small amount. ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "I also know that the pension system is a matter of eating grain, and what this generation eats is paid by the next generation, and we can't care about the future, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not die, it will naturally continue to run for a long time." It's just that at the beginning, there is indeed the phenomenon of less income and more expenditure as Mr. said, so I want to let the money borrowed by Yuan Chonghuan be returned when he is in a spare time, and the money can be temporarily resisted. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The income of the imperial village was exchanged for the emperor's silver, is it too much for the emperor to take out his income to pay?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "This is not a loss, it is just a temporary loan, and it is not a reward and does not need to be repaid, and now I have a share dividend in the big iron company, and the income of the Chishu company is no longer a decimal, what do you care about money so much?" The silver itself can't be gnawed and eaten, its function is to drive people to do things, and in the end, the people who contribute the money and the skills are satisfied, I can't die and then make a coffin inlaid with gold and green jade to sleep, I want to build a coffin inlaid with gold and jade, I'm afraid I can't sleep well, and future generations will not have the money to spend, and they will dig the grave. ”

Sun Chengzong asked: "The minister found that the emperor was not interested in the fertile land in the mainland, but had a unique affection for the grasslands by the Great Wall. ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "Don't hide it, sir, I don't like horses, but I am afraid of horses, the fertile land in the interior is cultivated by people, and the government is responsible for the management of taxes, and no one can make ghosts in it for a long time without being known." There is no one in the bitter cold land outside the fortress who can accumulate anything there, you look at the current miserable situation of the Mongols, you know that it is difficult for those bitter cold places to feed them, Jun Huan: Lord, calm down! . Only these combined areas by the Great Wall are lush with water and grass suitable for raising horses and swelling, if someone occupies here, he can completely rely on the imperial court to allocate grain and grass to raise the army privately, this is a great harm must not be prevented, An Lushan raised troops against the Tang Dynasty can be in this area. ”

Hearing Tianqi talk about beware of the rebellion of the generals' private soldiers, Sun Chengzong's face became solemn, he thought for a while and asked, "Does the emperor suspect who has a rebellion?" ”

Tianqi said: "I don't suspect anyone now, at least I can't see who has a backbone, but we must prevent this phenomenon from the source from the system, and eliminate these even the slightest possibility in order to sit back and relax." From ancient times to the present, there are many times when the monarch unjustly kills loyal ministers, and there are many times when a monarch trusts people too much and is overthrown. Let's take Mr. himself, Mr. is a person from Donglin Academy, and one of the provisions of Donglin Academy is to limit the power of the emperor, does Mr. have this idea? ”

Sun Chengzong took a breath and said: "The minister's loyalty to the emperor can be shown every day, and he will never do anything that endangers the emperor for anyone, and restricting the emperor's power is only said in Donglin Academy, and no one dares to do that or even mention it." In fact, the emperor himself has put a lot of power out, and he has done more than they said, and no one says anything like that now. ”

Tianqi smiled: "The biggest reason why I delegate power is because I am relatively lazy, and I don't know what disputes will arise when the greedy people I really want to meet in the future sit in this position, and if you want to delegate power, you have to have people who are both loyal and capable to give it to you, and I entrust military affairs to Mr. and entrust government affairs to King Xin, this is because I know that you will not do anything unfavorable to me, because we have a friendship." But after many years, my husband will be old, and even if your son is here, I will not trust him so much, because he does not have that friendship with me, although your sons are very loyal. ”

Sun Chengzong asked: "Is friendship really so important?" ”

Tianqi said: "It's very important, for example, during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Pi ran Han and Sima Yan ran Wei, it was all a matter of course, and basically there were not many people who opposed it, because the people who opposed it had already been killed by Cao Cao and Sima Zhao." It can be seen that Cao Cao and Sima Zhao have long had a heart of disobedience, but they did not seize the throne but waited for their sons to come, one is because they want to leave a good reputation and do not want to be scolded by future generations as a chaotic minister and thief, and the second reason may be that they can't accept it in their hearts, because Cao Cao and Sima Zhao used to be loyal to the emperor, and they were afraid that they would kill desperately when they met their current self, so they couldn't convince themselves of the best contractor. ”

Sun Chengzong was silent for a while and asked: "The minister understands what the emperor meant, in order not to unjustly kill loyal ministers and connive at loyal ministers into thieves because of ignoring some things, then we must eliminate hidden dangers at any time and prevent trouble. When you don't fight, you have to be careful, when you are not fighting, there are many opportunities for generals to contact the army, and after a long time, there will even be a shift in loyalty, how is the emperor going to deal with it? ”

Tianqi said: "I don't have a good way, the best thing to do in the past is Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, right?" After the battle, he drank a meal with his generals and asked them to hand over their military power peacefully, and did not do anything like a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey. The generals can be relieved of military power in a peaceful or rough and brutal way, but after the battle, there must be a lot of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals there to be rewarded, at this time the best way is to find a direction to expand the territory, and if you can't beat people, you can continue to fight until you don't have the superfluous people, and everything will be fine. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "Yes, Qin Shi Huang did this, after unifying the six countries, he expanded to the south, Tang Taizong and Yuan Shizu have conquered Goryeo and Japan, and when the army died, there was no record of how sad they were in the history books, maybe they also let out a long breath and felt that the stone in their hearts fell to the ground." When Taizu of this dynasty was in the Ming Dynasty, he also killed many generals who followed him to fight the world, and the emperor was ready to deal with these soldiers after quelling the rebellions in Mongolia, Jurchen and the south? ”

The apocalypse said, "Divide the four directions!" ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "The emperor named Ma Shilong as the general of Yumen just to let the Northwest Military Region expand its territory in the future, right?" It's just that it's a bit hard to keep so many soldiers in remote areas. ”

Tianqi said: "Hard work is certain, the soldiers may say something like 'the spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass', but it is much better than letting us hear 'Yuyang Zhao agitated to come'." In order not to let the soldiers work too hard, they can take turns, first let them guard the Quartet, and then gradually retire as people according to their age, and after retirement, they must be placed in standardized management to avoid them from causing trouble. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The emperor is merciful! ”
