Then Gao Yue and Wei Gao secretly glanced at each other, and after they sat down, before waiting for the wine and food vocal music, Gao Yue couldn't wait to suggest to Zhu Jun:

"According to the servant's humble opinion, the previous years of war in Longzhou have been ruined, so Wei Chengwu can be camped in Huangyang City (that is, Qianyang) first. There is Longshan Mountain in the west of Wangyang, there is Huangshan Mountain in the east, and Fengxiang and Jingzhou Liangyuan are connected with narrow river valleys, it is the center of the pillow mountain by water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the water source irrigation, the pasture is abundant and beautiful, it is the most suitable place for Tuntian. ”

"Good! Just do what Yisong said. Zhu Zhu sat on the seat, immediately stretched out his hand, expressed his complete agreement, and then laughed again, almost settling Wei Gao and Gao Yue, "Ah, when the Shence recruited the camp to enter Shu through Fengxiang, the old man also sighed that talents like Yisong failed to enter my shogunate, but now after the mutiny in Jingzhou City, the old man can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and at the same time won the two positions of Chengwu and Yisong, no less than Wolong and Phoenix Chick!" ”

"Be cautious under the section, how can you compare yourself to Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty?" Wei Gao immediately criticized.

"Oh, hahahaha, gaffe." Zhu Jun hurriedly held his forehead and apologized with a smile.

Then Gao Yue suggested: "Then what is the relationship between the Yuanzhou Bank and the Duzhi? ”

It turned out that the two systems that Yang Yan had made before: "three-point system of tax and rice" and "food out of bounds", Gao Yue has been trying to figure out and study, these two systems are actually two parallel components of the military and political machine from the Tang Dynasty to the present: under the three-point system, taxes are divided into the upper supply (to the central government), the retention of envoys (to the jiedu envoys) and the retention of the state (to the jiedu envoys), so the "military money" used to support the soldiers and military government in the town is actually the "retained envoy" part of the three-point system; However, once the town soldiers of the Jiedu envoy went out of the border (jurisdiction) to fight, they had to pay for the "degree support" of the central government to provide money and food.

According to the "Map for the Army" made by Wang Yanwei during the Kaicheng (Tang Wenzong year, 836-840), the Tang Dynasty raised 990,000 troops at that time, "except for the soldiers who stayed in the state, the remaining 400,000 people were given to the Duzhi."

What does this phrase mean? That is to say, at that time, the whole world, we round it up a little, counting it as a million troops, then there are 600,000 Fang Zhen soldiers or state soldiers, most of these troops are distributed in the Kwantung, southeast, and southwest regions, among which the Fang Zhen soldiers are supported by the money and grain of the "Liuzhou" used by the Jiedu, and the state soldiers are raised by the money and grain of the "Liuzhou" by the state assassins, and only when they go out of the border to fight will they use the money of the central government.

So where are the remaining 400,000 soldiers? The answer is the Northwest Frontier Army, the Shence Army (a mobile military force directly under the central government), the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya (the old Praetorian Guard, in a semi-abandoned state), Jinwu Weiyuan (Jinwu Army, Weiyuan Battalion, the security army in the imperial city), and the anti-autumn soldiers drawn from all over the country every autumn, adding up to 400,000, and the clothes, rations, and gifts of these soldiers are all allocated by the degree of support.

In fact, Gao Yue came to Baili, Lingtai and Liangyuan in the south of Jingzhou this time to set up "Yuanzhou Xingzai" to implement the camp, which was also sent by the central government in name, that is, "the camp of the degree".

So now we can divide the two parts of the Tang Dynasty's military expenditure, and we can also have a summary understanding of Wang Yanwei's "Supply for the Army", which is also the conclusion that Gao Yue figured out:

In terms of regions, there are eight military states in the northwest, namely Fengxiang, Suining, Jingyuan, Lingyan, Zhenwu, Yanfang, Yinxia, and Hedong. In other provinces, the soldiers were raised by the Jiedu envoy and the assassin Shi with the money of "Liuzhi" and "Liuzhou" respectively.

In terms of action, it is simpler, the Northwest Frontier Army and the Shence Army are undoubtedly eating the degree of support if they stay in place, and after the expedition, they will have to eat three times the "out-of-bounds grain" of the degree branch; In other areas, the Fang Zhen soldiers and state soldiers stayed in place and ate the finances of the state and the state, and after the expedition, they also had to eat three times the "out-of-bounds grain" of the degree.

Therefore, for the branch of the imperial court, once it encounters internal and external wars, the expenditure is simply amazing.

The previous Jingyuan counterinsurgency is a typical example.

And Gao Yue's meaning to Zhu Zhu's words, that is, "We camp the fields, the soldiers are used by Jiedu, the money for farm tools, ploughing cattle, seeds, and city construction is from the Duzhi Division, and the surplus grain reserves obtained after the opening of the tun are supplied to the army in Jingyuan and Fengxiang, if we get 100,000 stone corn a year, then the Du Branch Division does not need to transfer 100,000 stone corn from the southeast and outside the Guan, so will the money saved for peace and foot transportation be deducted from the allocated military expenses?" ”

Although Zhu Jun was smiling on the surface, he was also scheming in his heart, and he was also clear about Gao Yue's worries, so he said to Gao Yue unhurriedly:

"Don't worry about Yi Song, even in the southeast region where Hu Dou rice is harvested, the imperial court will not collect all the grain in the field, right? We can also make a camp! ”

Gao Yue was overjoyed, he was waiting for Zhu Jun to make a statement! So he quickly said a complete set of camp plans:

He planned to build a new city in Baili, move to Lingtai County here, and then take it as the center, open 3,000 hectares of camping fields, and use 4,000 camping soldiers (including 3,000 Jingyuan soldiers and 1,000 Fan Yang soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion), build a hundred miles of city, the starting cost of the camp and the military expenses of the field pawn are still supplied by the degree branch division, but the rice grain obtained from the camp is divided into a fixed amount of "three products" like the two taxes, one is the "degree branch of the rice", which is nominally in the hands of the household department of the degree branch division, and is stored in the granary of the camp field patrol courtyard on weekdays, which is equivalent to offsetting the camp field expenses allocated by the degree branch division. When the army goes out, it can be called for free; One is "camp field and rice", this part of the reserve in the military state granary, as the rations of the soldiers, so that it will greatly save the cost of the annual purchase and transfer of military rations from other regions, once the money is saved, the provincial government hall under the Zhongshu Men will not be embarrassed by the camp in a short period of time.

Of course, the last product was Gao Yue's most shocking move, he changed the original regulations that all the income from the camp field should be handed over to the military government, but required that this part of the grain obtained from the camp field be left to the soldiers as "net worth of rice", and the ownership belonged to the soldiers themselves, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm for the camp.

The ratio of the three products is "four four two".

That is, if 100,000 stone of corn is used, 40,000 stone belongs to the Yingtian patrol of the Du Branch, 40,000 stone belongs to the reserve grain of the Jiedu envoy, and 20,000 stone belongs to the Yingtian soldiers and their families.

Of course, this initiative is no stranger to Gao Yue, the combination of Bao Mou's arrival and collective cooperatives......

Of course, the right to allocate the entire material is still firmly in the hands of Gao Yue, because his role is two-sided, and the two positions of Lingtai County Commander and Quan Zhiyuan Prefecture (equal to half of the history of the assassin) are under the jurisdiction of the Jingyuan Jiedu Envoy; The camp judges, the envoys of the conscription of horses, and the envoys of the exiles belonged to the envoys of the central government.

After agreeing, Zhu Jun patted his chest and assured that he would personally go to the court to play the planning of the camp.

"That's great, the servant will build a city for a hundred miles soon."

"In terms of building a city, does Yi Song have any experience?" Wei Gao asked.

"Four words, the military city is one." Gao Yue was not in a hurry.
