At that time, there is an unwritten tacit practice among the following countries, and generally do not use poisoning, assassination, or other means to harm the enemy's commander-in-chief.

First, it is despicable, and secondly, the early generals and commanders were all nobles, and there were intermarriages between nobles and nobles in various countries.

Third, I can also do what you can do, the cycle of cause and effect of retribution, poison him today, I can poison you tomorrow, no one is a vegetarian, no one can stand it in the long run, and a few coaches die a year.

As the saying goes, "a thousand armies are easy to get, and a general is hard to find", the rarity of the generals is comparable to the gold in the yellow sand, and the warring commanders of the two countries were poisoned and assassinated, which was not only hated, but also cheapened by other princes, and in turn, you have to accuse you of not being sanctimonious.

"General Wei, it's not just for the poisonous wine, it's mostly for Yongxing City, but so?"

"Back to the king, there are four strategies for the end of the general, and please consider it at the king's discretion."

"Oh, General Wei said that the widow will listen to it."

King Xian took out two bowls of iced sour plum soup from Bingjian and handed one of them to Bailiyan (Wei Xian). Taking the sour plum soup, Bailiyan continued:

"The king, this time Shao Ping's battle, the situation is extremely complicated, the black turban army in order to make up for the lack of manpower in Xianxi and Chunan counties, moved a large number of people from Sun State, Xu State, and Zhiguo from Sun State, so General Chen Feishi's naval army has carried back nearly 100,000 people, most of whom are foreigners, and the last general also recruited a group of foreigners' children to fill the army, so he also asked the king to treat them equally."

"The widow has already told General Wei last time that as long as they open up territory for the widow and pay food for the widow, the widow doesn't care which country they are. However, General Wei must grasp the balance, in case the foreigners rebel, you General Wei can hardly escape the blame. ”

That's exactly what the last will say. The last general suggested that unmarried women should be recruited from all over the Xianguo to settle between the Lingling and Yongxing rivers, so as to increase the number of men intermarrying with the women of our Xianguo.

In addition, the Xian Kingdom fought for many years, and hundreds of thousands of crippled men, who either starved to death or survived, and most of them had no women willing to marry them. The last general plans to move the able-bodied and disabled with their lower limbs to the new city to engage in manual production.

First, not all production requires able-bodied people, secondly, more able-bodied men and women can be transferred to other productions, and thirdly, they are also men, and they can marry and have children, and their children are still able-bodied people, and after fifteen years they will be the laborers of the Xian country, so as long as there is sufficient food and grass, they should be raised and transferred to work in the handicraft workshops. ”

"General Wei has a unique insight, which is a good strategy, but in the final analysis, it is still grain and grass, without grain and grass, not to mention the able-bodied, how can there be rations to feed the disabled."

"The second thing I will say at the end is grain and grass. At present, our army is confronting the Black Turban Army at the Yongxing River, even if we get horses, even if we can achieve some results in a full-scale battle, it is fundamentally impossible to reverse the strength of the enemy and us, and the Liang State and the Jin State will not shed blood for our army.

Therefore, the last general suggested that after the establishment of Yongxing City, our army would have been able to free up its hands and be self-sufficient because of the formation of a military camp as soon as possible. ”

"Juntun? The military cantonment system has been abolished for hundreds of years, and General Wei is sure that he wants to restore the military cantonment? ”

In addition, the "Grain Field Order" also stipulates that the land in the world belongs to the king, and the king gives the powerful and nobles, which belongs to the powerful and nobles, and the military tun is opened up by the powerful and nobles, so it will naturally be included in the pockets of the powerful and nobles in every possible way, which is a huge drawback."

The early Chinese military tun appeared in the Qin period and was gradually perfected in the Han Dynasty, but the historical background at that time was the abolition of slavery, and the "Jingtian System" withdrew from history during the Warring States period.

At present, under the semi-feudal and semi-slave system of the magnates, the magnates are the main commanders who control the army, which leads to the fact that the military camp has later become a privilege system of who holds military power and who has the right to profit, but it has developed into an extreme phenomenon in which the army does business and the military leaders benefit.

As a result, the grain and grass of the military tun can legally enter the pockets of private individuals, and the "Grain Field Order", which has been implemented for hundreds of years, provides a legal basis, which leads to the fact that the advanced system of the military tun does not match the current system, and as a result, it cannot adapt and dies.

Look at the family in the Xuanting Marquis Mansion, you will know what kind of goods it is, as long as you can make money, you dare to stretch out your hand anywhere, this is the privilege of the powerful granted by the "Grain Field Order".

This situation was studied by Bai Liyan in the early years, and the implementation of the military cantonment system of other countries was very poor, and in the end, there had to be a special disguised military cantonment of recruiting people's army, and the land was obtained by encouraging the brave people who dared to die to spontaneously kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Later, it developed into a strong man, and the food of the strong went into his own pocket, and in wartime, he could further expand the army of the people and achieve a basic self-sufficiency model. However, this kind of unstable armed forces often have great potential in large countries with large populations, and small countries lack human resources, so they are not feasible at all.

"The king, the military cantonment system must be based on military discipline as the law, and the powerful will not reach out to the army, only in this way can the grain and grass produced by the military cantonment be used for military supplies and not be stolen."

"What about the widow, if the widow wants to use food, can't he do it?"

Bai Liyan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that King Xian was not the biggest magnate. He hurriedly said:

"The king, the military cantonment is used for military funds, and it can also be used for disaster relief, which is intended to reduce the land endowment and make the army self-sufficient, as for the rest, there is no need for the general to say more."

"Hehaha, you Wei Xian is slippery. The widow is the largest landlord in the Xian country, and the grain on the land of the widow is not counted, and it will make people laugh when it is spread out. ”

"The king, the number of military cantonments is only the fur of Xianguotianfu, at least in the peaceful and prosperous times, but at the moment, it is necessary to rely on the military cantonment to feed the army and disaster relief, which is naturally very considerable in the eyes of the king.

If the military tun can be used in full for military expenditure, if 100,000 people plough 1 million mu or even 1.5 million mu and produce 2 stone per mu, 2 to 3 million stone of grain and grass can be obtained in one season, and if there are several thousand more cultivated cattle, the number of cultivated land will at least triple, up to 3 million mu. If it is implemented now, the autumn harvest can have 2 million stones of grain and grass, which can solve the danger of grain shortage in Beihai County. ”

"Then Yongxing River sucked away 100,000 troops, Zhao Xun won't find a widow to judge."

"You don't need 100,000, you can draw 50,000. The battle of Shaoping obtained a large number of horses, you can plough cattle instead of horses, first make do with the land, each horse can cultivate at least eighteen or nineteen acres of land per season is not difficult, it is still June, July can be sown, until the autumn harvest, should be able to plant two million acres of land near Yongxing City. ”

"General Wei calculates a good account, no wonder Princess Lan Yuan said that it is not a family that does not enter the door, but it is really you Wei Xian who is more shrewd than his Xuanting Marquis."

"The king has won the prize."

Horses are usually not used to plough the land, because the efficiency is much lower than that of the ploughing ox, and the food is more than the cattle, one person and one cow, the busy farming season can cultivate twenty-five to thirty acres of land, and the horses are only eighteen or nineteen acres at most, so the horses in the popularization of the ploughing cattle, rarely participate in the cultivation, because compared with the cattle, the production efficiency and productivity output is not cost-effective.

At the same time, the cost of horse breeding is high, the injury rate is higher than that of cattle, and good horses are given priority to the military, so the common people rarely raise horses. Xianguo is currently in short supply of cattle, and it is also a last resort to use horses to do the work, so we can only talk about it this year first.

"General Wei and Zhao Xun will talk about the matter of Juntun, if he agrees to lend you troops, the widow will not object. Now General Wei will tell the widow about the third and fourth strategies, and it should be time to reach out to the widow to ask for money. ”

Bai Liyan couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard the news, he said:

"The king misunderstood, how dare the last general ask the king for national funds. In the end, the general planned to open a school hall and a lecture hall to educate the people with literacy and hyphenation, so that the people could be literate and let the generals know the arts and sciences.

This time Shao Ping's battle, the biggest gain was that the Black Turban Army fooled Baixin with ignorance and deception, and the reason was that the people were ignorant and unreasonable, and they were deceived because they did not learn literature and ink. More than half of the generals are illiterate, so that those who are able cannot be promoted, and those who are literate are incompetent.

This policy is a long-term national policy, and it is difficult to see benefits in one or two years, and it is bound to take five years, ten years, and twenty years before seeing results.

As for the fourth policy, when the new measures in Tuntian are realized, the people's strength will be restored, and the political situation will be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise it will hinder the people's aspirations. ”

"Oh, then, this fourth policy is not in a hurry to be implemented, but it must be implemented?"

"Exactly. Since the Liang Dynasty, although the military systems of the countries are similar, they are extremely chaotic, and the soldiers are only for food, but not for money, which makes the soldiers join the army to eat food, not to protect the homeland.

Soldiers have no food and salary, and although their families can be exempted from a certain amount of land and labor, the people live in hardship, and there is less labor in the family, so they have to go to one less labor season a year, or even two seasons of harvest, which is far more than the exemption from field labor. ”

"Does General Wei want to move the military system and pay the soldiers? Do you know how much grain and grass will be consumed this year? ”

"At the end of this matter, it will be calculated that even if a person takes rice as his income, according to the minimum of five stones, 100,000 soldiers will need 500,000 stones, and if you count the food and military supplies for a year, it will cost at least 90 to 1,100,000 stones for rice and vegetable soup, and 160,000 to 1,700,000 stones will be spent on 160,000 to 1,700,000 stones for 100,000 people to calculate the expenses for food and army support, which is only a lot more.

This is still the cost of 100,000 ordinary soldiers, and if you calculate the current strength of the Xian army, it will cost about 6 million stone a year. If there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers among them, I am afraid that it will cost 7.5 million stones of grain and grass.

This is not counting the generals' salaries, horses, livestock, rations, and grass, and the rations of the people, and the craftsmen and weavers who produce weapons. As far as Xianguo's current national strength is concerned, increasing the cost of soldiers and soldiers is tantamount to cocooning itself. ”

"Since General Wei has calculated so clearly, why should he set this precedent. You must know that there is no reason in the whole world to give soldiers a salary. ”

Because of this, if the king gives money to the soldiers, he can undoubtedly unite the people's hearts and national strength. However, the premise is that farming can be restored, and the new seedling planting and farming methods of the last general can be promoted, so that the yield per mu can be greatly increased, and only with grain can the new policy be implemented, otherwise everything is empty talk. ”
