After Zhu Li returned from the north entrance, he immediately placed Li Xinai.

He first set up the position of Mo Cheng, a petty official of the ninth grade, and appointed it to Li Xinai. Then he immediately summoned Wang Yueyao and asked her to help build a workshop to control ink.

As for the raw materials used by Li Xinai to make ink, as well as the sales after the ink is completed, Wang Yueyao is all in charge.

In addition, in Chongwenfang, a set of yards was given to the Li family father and son, so that they could live with peace of mind.

In the words of later generations, Zhu Li planned to establish Weimo as a state-owned enterprise and become a stable income for Shuozhou's Thorn Mansion, with this income, no matter where it was filled, it would be of great benefit to Heshuo.

Three days later, Dou Yujun came with his family, and Zhu Li immediately fulfilled his promise and named him a doctor of the Five Classics, in charge of Shuozhou Yiying education matters, and shared the pressure on Guo Chongtao.

For the filial and kind Dou Yujun, of course Zhu Li will not favor one over the other, and also gave him a courtyard in Chongwenfang to settle his family.

After doing all this, Zhu Li went to visit Mr. Xin in Jixia Academy again, but unfortunately Mr. Xin closed the door and did not see him, which made Zhu Li more curious about this Mr. Xin.

Before he could stop, Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, Wang Yueyao and others flocked to him, pulling him and began to discuss the new deal.

In the small courtyard, Zhu Li sat directly north of the stone table; The white-clothed and suave Guo Qizuo is on the left; The blue-shirted and elegant Guo Chongtao is on the right; Wang Yueyao, dressed in a moon-white gown, peerless elegance, and dazzling, sat opposite Zhu Li.

Her current position is still Zhu Li's book, after Zhu Li came back, she was not promoted, for Wang Yueyao, it doesn't matter if she is promoted or not, the most important thing is that Zhu Li can stay together.

"So that you can know why I was so powerful at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty?" Guo Qizuo looked at Zhu Li and asked seriously.

When Zhu Li heard this, he frowned slightly, of course he knew that the Tang Dynasty was powerful, the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, it was not called in vain, if you want to talk about the reason why the Tang Dynasty is strong, this involves all aspects, and it is by no means something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

Seeing Zhu Li frowning, Wang Yueyao's beautiful eyes moved, she seemed to know why Guo Qizuo asked so, and she also understood what Guo Qizuo wanted to elicit.

I saw her standing up, pacing in figure-eight steps, and said indifferently: "The reason why the Tang Dynasty is strong is inseparable from its strong military strength. ”

"The twenty-four sages of Lingyan Pavilion, almost everyone can fight on the horse and govern when they get off the horse; Since the Tang Dynasty, the other party has been fighting for many years, and the folk are still martial, and rangers are everywhere. ”

"When the Empress Wu was in power, he set up a martial arts, and even the scholars were required to be proficient in the art of archery and horse riding, and the Heavenly Empire was in the upper kingdom, and if it was pulled casually, there would be millions of lions, and it was by no means a boast, how could it not be strong?"

When Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao heard this, they nodded slightly, and Guo Qizuo said: "What the lady said is very true, but the lady knows, why has my Tang Dynasty declined to the point where it is now?" ”

I have to say that the two women Zhu Li met were both smart and wise characters, Wang Yueyao was smart and talented, no less than Wei Chi Jin, and when she heard the words, her eyes turned around, and she responded: "The so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, hundreds of years of martial arts,

When the imperial court loses its due binding force, the extreme of martial arts is to violate the ban. ”

"The eunuchs are in power, the friends are in the party, and the wind and rain in the feudal towns around the country, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are unbearable and angry, which is also reasonable." Wang Yueyao only expressed her opinion on Shangwu, but it also made the two talents nod frequently.

Erguo has always advocated the separation of civil and military affairs, how could Wang Yueyao not know that they brought Zhu Li to discuss the new policy today, and Guo Qizuo wanted to suggest to Zhu Li that there was a certain political force.

Guo Qizuo asked the reason for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, which was to tell Zhu Li the importance of the army, but he then asked the reason for the decline of the Tang Dynasty, which was also to lead to the fact that although the army is important, it must be controlled, otherwise, it will eventually lead to the collapse of the world.

guessed the thoughts of the two gentlemen, Wang Yueyao naturally responded according to their words, these two are Zhu Li's confidants, and Wang Yueyao also wants to leave a good impression in their hearts.

"The three emperors do nothing, and the world is governed. The Five Emperors practiced, and the soldiers were Xing, the so-called "Great Punishment with Armor Soldiers, and Chen Zhu Yuanye", so there was a battle to make up for it, and the division of Hanquan. If it is appropriate, it will be safe, and if it is not appropriate, it will be chaotic. ”

"Looking at the Tang Dynasty, the festival makes the military power in hand, the political power is in hand, the military and the government are integrated, just like a country within a country, people's ambitions are endless, and the desire is difficult to fill, in the long run, how can the world not be chaotic?" Guo Qizuo looked at Zhu Li with burning eyes and said earnestly.

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he also echoed: "What Mr. said is very true, Sun Tzu said: 'The law, the music system, the official way, the main use. 'The maker of the song, the system of the part, the banner, and the golden drum; Officials, hundreds of officials are also used. ”

"Let it be written and used by force, it is said that it must be taken, and the civil and military forces are used together, and each other is helped, and each other is clamped, so that the world can be strong and orderly and peaceful, so that the monarch can control Heshuo, if you want to be strong and strong, and there is no mistake, the army and the government are divided and ruled, which is the best choice." Speaking of this, Guo Chongtao bowed his hand and suggested earnestly to Zhu Li.

Zhu Li nodded when he heard this, and said: "What the three of them mean, Zhu understands, now that the Heshuo army and the government, the two gentlemen have already confirmed the feasibility to Zhu with facts, so it will be like this in the future." ”

"The planner is the commander, and the generals are under his command, and then he is the commander of the army; Those who are proficient in the details are Zaifu, who lead hundreds of officials, and are committed to benefiting the people, teaching the people, and suppressing the people; The commander needs to use money and food to support the soldiers, and the slaughter and auxiliary also need to be strong to maintain the rank, and the two assist each other and contain each other, and the civil and military are in their places, which is indeed a good policy for long-term peace and stability. Zhu Li commented seriously.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the warriors were rampant, so there were five generations of chaos, and when it came to the Song Dynasty, the previous lessons were taken, and the Song Dynasty actually let the literati contain the army, I have to say that the Song Dynasty was a very rich dynasty, but the military of the Song Dynasty was also notoriously weak.

If compared with the Tang Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Song Dynasty was a weak Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty only had the Central Plains people to bully the grassland aliens, and in the Song Dynasty, it was indeed only the Central Plains people who bullied the Central Plains people, this is the contrast.

It is precisely based on this that Zhu Li feels that the practice of the Song Dynasty is not advisable, and Guo Qizuo's approach is a safe way to achieve long-term stability.

His promise and affirmation made Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, and Wang Yueyao secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Zhu Li said sharply

turned, and continued: "The military system of the Tang Dynasty should also be changed, and the military system based on the people of Bantian has very obvious advantages, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. ”

"I intend to change the military system to a military service system, but all Heshuo men, who have reached the age of eighteen, must join the army for a period of five years, but these people are only the reserve of our soldiers, and in addition to training, they can also be engaged in tuntian, paving, water conservancy and other affairs, so as to reduce the burden on the people; In addition to this, we must have our own professional combat army, which can be selected from the current guards and from the future reserves. ”

"In this way, after a few years of development, almost every adult man in my Heshuo people has military experience, which greatly improves their overall quality; If there is a large area of battle damage, when it is urgently replenished, these people can be put into battle with a little training; If it is a relatively peaceful year, it will not delay them at all in earning money to support their families, plowing the fields and sowing seeds. "There is a specialization in the art industry, and the army is the same, and the combat power of the professional army is much stronger than the guards who are improvised and are both farmers and soldiers.

This can be seen from the comparison of the tooth soldiers and the guards of the various sections, because the tooth soldiers are the pro-guards of the festival envoys, usually in addition to the guards, that is, training, the combat effectiveness is obviously much stronger than the guards, and the guards of the peasants and soldiers, it is okay to fight a good fight, if it is against the trend, it is obviously not good.

His proposal was also supported by the other three, and there were no more soldiers, and the three of them still understood this truth.

For the details, several people discussed for six or seven days one after another, plus Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao originally had a draft in their hearts, as well as the experience of Zhu Li from later generations, and in a short time, this new policy was freshly released.

In August of the third year of Zhonghe, the Shuozhou New Deal was issued.

The New Deal first determined the establishment of the Heshuo Marshal Mansion, and Zhu Li was the commander of Heshuo and the supreme administrator.

The generals under the jurisdiction of the Shuaifu, all the military salaries, pensions, grain, grass, equipment, etc. of the guards and Yuecai in Heshuo are directly allocated by the Shuaifu, and all the guards and Yueqi must also be loyal to the Shuaifu.

The generals who guard the towns and counties have no right to intervene in the administration of the governors of various prefectures and counties; The governors of various prefectures and counties also have no right to ask the generals of various towns and towns to administer the army.

The town generals and the governors of all prefectures and counties all have a term of office, which is rotated every four years, and those who are excellent in governing the army and the best in government can be rewarded by the marshal's office, and as for what the commendation is, it depends on the situation.

The government military system was abolished and replaced by a military service system.

All adult men of Heshuo, who have reached the age of eighteen, must serve in the military for a period of five years, during which those who perform well will directly enter the regular army establishment and enjoy the lifelong service of the marshal's mansion, and when the marshal's office needs it, they must obey it.

In addition, Zhu Li also formulated the title.

There are a total of 18 ranks, and new recruits can be promoted to private, guard, sergeant, sergeant, third class lord, second class lord, first class lord, third class viscount, second class viscount, first class viscount, third class earl, second class earl, first class earl, third class marquis, second class marquis, first class marquis, duke, and king.

Many of the privileges of Heshuo can only be enjoyed when they reach a certain title, such as riding a car, only the lord can use the ox cart, the viscount can use the single-horse-drawn cart, the earl and above can use the chariot and so on.
