After saying these words, Zhao Xin was a little proud and proud. Great Song archers!

In his previous life, he was famous, and he was known as the elite along with the leather room army of the Liao lord and the iron harrier of Western Xia.

The key thing is that the Liao Lord's leather room army is only two armies on the left and right, and the total number is only 30,000.

And the iron harriers of Western Xia, even when they were at their strongest, did not exceed 10,000.

But the archers of the Great Song Dynasty, at their peak, exceeded 100,000.

The combat effectiveness and will to fight are not inferior to the leather room army and the iron harrier, and even surpass!

As long as they fight in their native country, they will basically destroy whom!

You must know that these village soldiers, although they are called archers, are actually cavalry!

Moreover, it is also a cavalry with strong body, skilled martial arts, and resolute combat!

After all, those who have war horses can be given three hectares of land, and those who do not have war horses can only have two hectares of land.

Therefore, any self-motivated young man will try his best to buy a war horse!

It really didn't work, so a few families pooled money together and bought a stallion to breed.

In Zhao Xin's previous life, these tax-free and land-free archers were the vanguard of his king's destruction of Western Xia.

Even now, these archers are also the backbone and elite of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Di Qing's security army, Ren Fu's Zhenrong army, and Chong Shiheng's family army, the backbone and core are all composed of these local elites.

But when Lu Yijian listened, he frowned.

Archer?

Of course they know, not only know, but are very familiar.

After all, now that the country is in the process of employing people, who doesn't like the easy-to-use and cheap, powerful and loyal and obedient army of archers along the border?

Last year, Fan Zhongyan proposed in a letter that archers should also be recruited on Jingdong Road as a reserve for Shaanxi.

After discussing with Zhongshu, the cardinal government agreed to Fan Zhongyan's request, so in September of that year, Zhongshu asked the official family and obtained permission, and then issued an order to order Jingdong Road to recruit Wudu archers and prepare for the west.

The order was issued, but it has not been carried out until now.

It's not just that Jingdong Road is not like Shaanxi, which is vast and sparsely populated, and there is enough land to be cultivated.

What's more, civil officials have a lot of complaints about these guys who don't pay taxes.

Do you still have to occupy an account if you don't pay taxes?

Affect the performance appraisal!

The performance appraisal is directly connected with the grinding survey.

In this Great Song Dynasty officialdom that can reduce the grinding for half a year, there are people who are willing to die, and it may affect the officials to reduce the grinding and investigation, no matter how small it is, some people will not do it.

Therefore, Lu Yijian shook his head on the spot and said, "Recruiting so many archers, what should the local officials do?" ”

"What's more, so many people are recruited as village soldiers, and their generation is already unruly and difficult to control, if it is too powerful, the old minister is worried that the future may not be too big, which is against the law of the ancestors......"

The others nodded their heads and agreed.

The law of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, on the side of the military generals, is not as serious as later generations imagine and think.

In fact, many people may not know that in the Great Song Dynasty, the military ministers of the Song Dynasty were much higher than the civil officials!

Therefore, the most direct way for the Great Song Dynasty to favor civil officials is to let him lead the military position.

And civil servants usually flock to it.

Today's Great Song Dynasty rulers have basically all received military positions.

For example, Prime Minister Lu Yijian, before paying homage to the prime minister again last year, sentenced the Tianxiong Army with his own official.

Guarding the town with important ministers is the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is the tradition of the Northern Song Dynasty to use literature to control weapons.

As for the warriors?

Look at the Cao family, look at the Xiang family, look at the Guo family, look at the Han family, which one dares to say that the status of the Great Song Wuchen is not high, and the treatment is not high?

In the final analysis, what civil and military divisions, what civil and military differences, are all bullshit!

Military ministers and civil officials are all scholars!

It's all the landlord class!

Where are the many differences?

Can the Cao family's money be different from the Lu family's money?

Therefore, listening to Lu Yijian's words, Zhao Xin just smiled.

He's not as easy to fool as his father!

Therefore, he immediately answered and said: "The ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty has never insulted military ministers and martial artists!" ”

"Only, let the martial ministers read, so that the martial artists can know loyalty, know etiquette, and know how to advance and retreat!"

Lu Yijian immediately choked.

Because, what Zhao Xin said is right!

After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there was indeed no contempt and abuse for the generals and heroes of the old days.

On the contrary, the sorrow and longevity of these people are the reason why the Great Song Dynasty can make a stable transition to today!

Otherwise, why did the Empress and the Queen Mother of the Great Song Dynasty have to be the heroes of Taizu and Taizong?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, the official Zhao Zhen hurriedly came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Erlang is right!" I also heard that when the party servant (party entered) was the captain, when His Majesty saw Emperor Taizu, he forgot his farewell, so he was in a hurry to give birth to wisdom, and worshipped: The minister heard that the ancient style was simple and slight, and I hope that the official family will be good! Both left and right laughed, and some entourages asked, and the party servant said: I often love to drop my bookbag, and I also drop a sentence or two, so that the official family knows that I am reading! Emperor Taizu then longyan was happy and rewarded the party servants! ”

"It can be seen that the ancestral family law is indeed ordering the military ministers to read more and read good books!"

The officials all spoke, and Lu Yijian had no choice but to smile and say, "What the officials said is ...... The old minister also thought so......"

Zhang Dexiang, who was on the side, immediately came out to make up the knife accurately: "The old minister heard that in Jianlong, Emperor Taizu heard that the prince of the country had summoned all living beings to give lectures, and he was happy to say to the left and right: I want to make the military ministers read, and I want them to know the way to govern...... The ancestors' intentions are far-reaching, and the old ministers bow down to worship them......"

Du Yan immediately followed and continued to mend the knife: "The old minister also heard that the king of Han (Zhao Pu), who started as a clerk at the beginning, was a scholar, and Emperor Taizu loved his material, and every time he persuaded him, he ordered him to read more, and the king of Han did not release the volume, and he was even old, 'master's and old Confucianism, it is still not as good'!" ”

This made Lu Yijian suddenly embarrassed and just wanted to find a place to get in, and it was not good to show his timidity in front of him.

Only Zhao Xin sneered in his heart.

Da Song Wenchen's trick of fooling people had already been seen through by him in his previous life.

Take the ancestors to talk about things?

So what did the ancestors say?

Others won't talk about it, but Zhao Xin has seen an incident recorded in Taizu's living notes.

At the beginning, Zhao Kuangyin was in Bianjing, and one day he suddenly remembered that he wanted to pay attention to his son's studies, so he invited the palace attendants to ask: How is King Qin's studies? The waiter replied: Recently, the poetry made by the King of Qin is very good! Zhao Kuangyin said at that time: The emperor's family doesn't need to know how to write, once he knows the scriptures and righteousness, and controls the chaos in ancient and modern times, he will avoid being deceived by the dance and literature officials in the future!

In addition, the history of the country is even more black and white, recording the reason why Zhao Kuangyin used Wenchen to guard the great domain and collect the military generals' military power: I have selected more than 100 Confucian ministers to serve as officials, and divide and rule the great domain, even if they are all greedy, they are not as bad as the military ministers!

The ancestors saw it very clearly.

Whether it is a civil official or a military general, they are all ministers, and they are all objects of use!

There is no right or wrong, right or wrong, only whether it is appropriate or not, and there is only the consideration of the lesser of the two phases.

Thinking of these in his heart, Zhao Xin hugged his father's body and said: "Aya, if the country wants to develop archers now, it is inevitable that there will be discussions and criticisms from the government and the opposition, if you order a division from the prefectures and counties of the world, recruit cadres who are willing to go to the border, serve as commanders, teach archers to read and understand their loyalty and filial piety etiquette, and order all officials, for the command of one year old, then reduce the grinding and survey for one year, and the meritorious ones will be doubled......"

This Great Song Dynasty may lack everything else, but there is no shortage of civil officials, especially civil officials who take risks for promotion!

And minus one year of grinding, this is a big killer, enough to make the officials of the world rush to it!

And this is exactly the best means of control over the group of archers that Zhao Xin practiced in his previous life!

For more than ten years, the archers have never rebelled, rebelled, or made trouble.

And the doctors of the government and the opposition have no opinions, because, the civilian government is in charge of the army, which is very Northern Song Dynasty!

When the others heard Zhao Xin's proposal, they first reacted, and then reacted.

"A thousand years of national justice!"

There is no better, more suitable and more in line with the national conditions and current situation of the Great Song Dynasty than Zhao Xin's method!
