Of course, Yun He's words still frightened the surrounding ladies, how could a girl's family openly discuss the war and plunder slaves!

Yunhe was also a little embarrassed.

At this time, Gao Yue was round, and on the topic of manpower, he said to the ladies of the military generals and subordinates: "Don't worry, in fact, the manpower of the cotton field is easy to solve."

"Oh, I'd like to hear Dayin's insight." Several ladies said with a grin.

Gao Yue said, immediately my Xingyuan Mansion should comply with the Holy Lord's edict, take the lead in dividing "Tian Shi" and "General Soldiers", after which the generals will be trained specially, and Tian Shi will be half army and half peasant, according to the ratio planned by the imperial court, my Xingyuan Mansion originally had 11,000 officials and 4,000 Tutuan, but now they are all canceled, and they are all unified as generals and Tian Shi, and the other is the branch of the town and the county of Feng and Xing, and Ben Yin will also be the training envoy of the Feng Xingdu regiment, and the number of soldiers will be increased to 20,000 with the permission of the Holy Lord and the degree branch division (in fact, 20,000 is in this number, Gao Yue originally reported to the imperial court that the number of soldiers was 15,000, and now it has been added to 5,000, and there are actually 2,000 people who still belong to the false register) - that is, the generals only need 8,000 (7,000 in fact), Ben Yin is ready to re-re-regulate, and Tian Shi is full of 12,000 (10,000 in fact), Ben Yin has calculated - the original Tuntian of Xingyuan Mansion is mainly concentrated in three places, Shanheyan, Huangni River, and Yangzhou Yuehe Valley, and 6,500 Tian Shi is enough. After that, he mainly used troops against Xifan, so Xingzhou Luoyang and Fengzhou Hechi became important places, so Ben Yin prepared to send the remaining 4,500 field soldiers to Tuntian in these two states, mainly wheat and cotton.

"Where did the extra soldiers come from?" Yunhe asked his brother-in-law curiously.

"Four or five thousand additional troops, one thousand are recruited from the five states under the jurisdiction of this government, and the rest is very simple, let the ships or colonels who go out to return to the merchants, take the paper of my Xingyuan Mansion, and recruit them from all over the country."

Gao Yue is very confident in this, because at this time, the Tang Dynasty no longer had the personal control over the people as it did in the early days, why do you say so?

Because the two-tax law has replaced the collapsed rent regulation.

Under the rent adjustment system, whether it is taxation, labor service, or military service, it is all implemented on the head of the individual;

To put it bluntly, the imperial court doesn't care who is in charge of this state or county, and no matter who is planting this field, as long as you apportion the tax you should pay to the imperial court, you can do it - that's right, this means that the central court's personal control over the people is collapsing, and once this is loosened, the people at least have the "freedom" to choose the way to be exploited, I can farm, I can do business, I can work, of course, when these roads don't work, I can also be a soldier.

The freedom to be a soldier inevitably brings the freedom to be a soldier, and the values are: whoever is paid will give his life to whomever he wants, and whoever makes me hungry will be cut off.

If the emperor doesn't give a reward, we will coerce the envoy to beat the emperor;

If the festival envoy does not pay the salary, we will make a rebellion, kill the festival envoy, and support one more (or the court will send one).

Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, the root of the problem lies not in the festival degree, but in the group of "free" soldiers attached to each square town, the soldiers who take serving as soldiers and eating food as their profession, the soldiers who have a weak view of the central government and the imperial power, and the soldiers who kill the festival degree envoys like play.

The reason why Heshuo, Ziqing, Huaixi and other towns were able to be divided for a long time was that this group of soldiers became the climate and formed an unruly local armed group, and the imperial court could not reverse this situation at the root by relying on the counterinsurgency war of "changing the soup but not the medicine".

However, at this moment, Gao Yue wanted to take advantage of this "freedom": "Ben Yin added dozens of military academies and important registrations in the mansion, but in fact, he supervised the goods to all towns to return to the merchant trade, and by the way, he brought the paper of recruitment, and after the goods were sold, the ship returned with the recruited soldiers." ”

This is the glorious "soldier trafficker" of Xingyuan Mansion, no, it is the work of "military movement". In addition, Gao Yue also told the military academies who went out to return to business that once there was a famine in a certain place, they should give priority to going there, so that the price of the soldiers recruited would definitely be cheaper than usual.

Gao Yue not only wanted to be a "soldier dealer", but also a "trader", "artisan trader" and "peasant trader": merchants, farmers, and craftsmen from other places could be recruited and gathered in Xingyuan Mansion to live.

What is most important in the great twenty-first century, no, the ninth century? Of course, there are talents with skills! Soldiers, farmers, merchants, and workers have all come to Xingyuan Mansion, not only to create better wealth for it, but also to increase the tax base for cutting leeks, just like the current competition for college graduates in various cities, the essence is to recruit more high-quality people to settle down (this article is deleted)!

"Now it's good!" Hearing Da Yin's assurance, several ladies who eagerly awaited the development of cotton planting immediately smiled.

At this time, Yun Shao smacked for a while, and then approached Gao Yue and asked a question quietly, "Then Qingqing ......"

"Ah Ni asked this question well, ladies and gentlemen, some people may ask, such as Tianshi planting cotton, how should we coordinate Xingyuan Mansion? Ben Yin's method is to simply set up a village in Fengxing Erzhou, and then take care of it by the supervisor, everyone pooled their own money to enter the prison department, purchased a car, vertebral arch, spinning wheel, and loom, and planted a set of cotton fields for every five households, so that ginning, threading, and weaving are all theirs, and then Ben Yin can promise to replace the cotton cloth, and the cotton cloth outside the endowment can also be handed over to the superintendent, and then purchased and sold by the Xingyuan Mansion, and the profits will continue to be divided into the profits, and the officials, the army and the people will be three, isn't it beautiful? ”

Everyone was very happy, and said that Da Yin's method was very good, and from then on, not only cotton cloth, but also brassica, bamboo paper, herbs, iron tools, etc., could be set up to supervise it.

After nightfall, the courtyard of the official residence of Da Yin of Xingyuan Mansion was quiet, Gao Yue had just finished eating dinner in the kitchen courtyard, and Zhi Hui, who had recovered from her postpartum body, was busy again, "Where is your housewife?" ”

"I'm busy spinning cotton yarn with Aunt Jing'er and Aunt Jing'er!"

"Alas, the gift I gave to Ah Ni is not the car and vertebral arch, I want to hand over the affairs of the cotton field to Ah Ni to take care of."

"Third brother, where does the master mother care about this? You gave her the chariot, the vertebral arch and the spinning wheel, and she was happy not for anything else, but because you gave these things to her from the third brother! ”

Hearing this, Gao Yue had mixed feelings, and he put the dagger on the plate with guilt and fell silent.

Zhihui also seemed to realize that what she said had stimulated Gao Yue, so she stretched out her slender hand from behind her back and put it on Gao Yue's shoulder.

"I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be able to survive the princess's level." Gao Yue confided in Zhi Hui.

"Third brother, your family really has a lot of things to do, even Zhi Hui has worked hard......." Zhi Hui quietly lay on Gao Yue's back.

"In the end, do you still want to become the person you hated the most?" Gao Yue said with some distress, and then he asked Zhi Hui, "Has the nunnery over there in Heteng Cliff been completed?" ”

"It's done, according to your instructions of the third brother, I gave the head of the nun monastery, the nun Ni Cixi, a hundred yuan of money, eighty stone meters, she was very happy, and she worked very hard, but the mother of the little aunt, Lu Shi, has lived in the nun monastery and does not want to return."
