Zheng Anmin sat in the first row of the left column, saw Shizi bounce like a needle cone, and sat back like no one; And Miss Luo's body squirmed, her mouth still grunted, and her eyes looked straight to this side.

Zheng Anmin smiled in his heart, the little husband and wife are like this, on a formal and important occasion like the court, they dare to sit side by side, and they are good at fighting? Fortunately, there are all palace officials here, and there are no foreign officials, otherwise it will be another wave when it reaches Beijing!

The son of the world treats people and things, and knows how to be reasonable; Serve the royal and the lower, and lift the weight as lightly. As for Miss Luo, she has a wild temperament, a big temper, and a lot of tricks. No matter how the two look at it, they don't match each other, but for some reason they are like glue, and Miss Luo can still control the world. A few days ago, this Luo girl first asked if Sichuan had ever walked out of the emperor. Fortunately, he woke up instantly and hurriedly told her that there was no precedent. What's the matter, she wants to get the prince to raise the flag and rebel? A few days later, this Luo girl asked Xue Duqiao what a sage was, and whether there were rice banknotes and cloth money in Sichuan. In the blink of an eye, she wants to issue money again?

Thinking of this, Zheng Anmin couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Everything in this world is one thing descending from one thing. The son of the world descended to us, and Miss Luo descended to the son of the world. It's just that I don't know if there is anything in the world that can stop this Luo girl. Hey, the contemptible person is the foreign minister of the palace, and he is a character who reconciles yin and yang, and in the future, the two will fight and quarrel, and he will inevitably deliver the submission on his behalf.

The bright gaze on the platform swept over again. Zheng Anmin knew that Miss Luo was not looking at herself, but at Hong Qihui behind her. It's just that why does this Hong Qihui still not appear in the recital? No, Zheng Anmin thought, I have to force him out. In the future, if colleagues work together and don't know each other, how can they achieve "harmony with light and dust"?

Thinking of this, Zheng Anmin stood up and said, the army has expanded, and there are a lot of materials such as ordnance, clothing, armor, horses, etc., and many of these things are produced from the Yazhou workshop. If the supply of military supplies is insufficient, the military will definitely be missed. Mr. Hong has just come from Yazhou, and must be very familiar with the production situation, so Shizi and Miss Luo should listen to Mr. Hong's opinion.

……

Hong Qihui's appearance finally made Luo Yuhong breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that as soon as Hong Qihui opened her mouth, she knew that she was on crutches.

"Yu Shizi, Miss Luo, Weichen thinks that the Shu Wangfu takes the common people in the world as its own responsibility, and it is really benevolent and righteous! Nowadays, the bandits in northern Sichuan are rampant, the people's livelihood is withering, the government is incompetent, the officials and the army are harassing the people, and the emperor has also issued a strict decree to exterminate the local tyrants within a time limit. Weichen is a weak scholar, concurrently engaged in business, experienced the Yazhou Rebellion, fortunately the prince, Miss Luo Jianba, leaving a useless body and serving the work of dogs and horses. From the beginning of the year to the present, the ministers have seen that Yazhou has grown from a withered land to now all industries are prosperous, the people are healthy, there are many businesses, the warehouses are abundant, and the military grain and grass are endless. Why? There are two reasons for this.

First, the state's tax system is stable, with no drawbacks of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Therefore, the gentry dared to invest in commerce, the people were willing to return to the fields to cultivate, and the merchants liked to seek benefits from border trade.

Second, there are two teams of my Wangfu Shangzhuang in Yazhou, less than one company, more than several companies, and more Tianquan Tusi cavalry infantry stationed in Feixian Pass, the young people are frightened, the lawbreakers are cold, and the gentry and people are in peace, and they don't have to be precarious!

It was the old minister who thought that if my palace was laid out in northern Sichuan, it would not only need to collect taxes, but also increase military strength. It should be known: If there is no strong army, the people will be uneasy, and if the people are uneasy, all industries will not prosper, and if all industries are not prosperous, the taxes will be insufficient, and if the taxes are insufficient, the military needs will be difficult......"

Hong Qihui not only demanded that the military strength be increased in Shudi, but also used the fifth company of the caravan to garrison Yazhou, and the lesson of being forced to expand due to insufficient troops, clearly put forward the goal of military service construction:

Ding men between the ages of 15 and 40 in one state and one county are required to receive military training during their off-season. Ding Nan drew one out of twenty, and he was on active duty, serving in the caravan and the backbone of the village squadron; Yu Ding draws one out of five, which is for regular service. Once the palace has an order, it will be added to the shelf squadron of the Zhuang protection team. The rest of the men are in reserve and awaiting call-up. In this way, all the people of Shu are soldiers, even if the overall situation of the world collapses, Shu will not rush to respond.

In order to enhance his persuasiveness, Hong Qihui also cited many figures from the sources to prove his point.

Based on the population of 7 million in Sichuan.

There are about 20 percent of the Chengding, 1 of 20 Ding, and the active service can reach 70,000, which are respectively supplemented into the basic cadres of the caravan and the caravan and the village.

The remaining five dings are drawn one, and the regular service can reach 260,000, which is used as a supplementary source of troops for the two teams of the village protection team and the Shangzhuang team. Specifically, the population of a state and county is calculated on an average basis of 500,000 to 100,000, and the active duty can reach 500 to 1,000, and the regular duty can reach 19 to 3,008.

As for the reserves, they are only trained and not drafted. Once called, the situation in the world is irretrievable, and we have to make a last stand.

Wuding Draw One has been implemented in Hejiazhuang in Langzhong County for a long time, but Zhu Pingjin did not promote it, because the conditions in all aspects were not mature at that time.

Hong Qihui is not a hit, and he is a blockbuster. The plan he put forward for the expansion of the armed forces has taken a big step forward on the basis of the General Staff Department. The military service system he proposed was equivalent to the establishment of a compulsory military service system for the whole people, overthrowing the existing world military system and conscription system in the Ming Dynasty.

Hong Qihui's speech made Luo Yuhong anxious. Didn't he know that there was no silver left in the palace? Hong Qihui's statement also made his younger brother wonder, didn't the eldest brother say that he would advise the prince and reduce the use? As for Zheng Anmin, he stroked his short beard lightly and fell into deep thought.

Hong Qihui's speech tickled the young man on the throne every sentence, because this was exactly what he really thought in his heart.

At the time of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sichuan Province, with a population of 40 to 50 million, dispatched 3,025,000 troops in eight years, with a population mobilization rate of 7 percent, accounting for more than one-fifth of the total number of conscripts in the country.

In the tax season from September '41 to February '42 alone, Sichuan Province collected and purchased grain totaling 13.3 million stone (in kind), accounting for one-quarter of the country's total and ranking first in the country.

As for munitions and supplies, Sichuan is the main supply base. The three major arsenals of the Republic of China, Gongxian Arsenal moved to Gaoba, Sichuan (Note 1), Jinling Arsenal (Note 2), and Hanyang Arsenal (Note 3) all moved to Chongqing, Sichuan.

Excessive requisition and the influx of large numbers of people have come at the cost of soaring prices in the market and the hardship of the people. However, the determination to resist the war to the end made the people of Sichuan endure all the hardships. At the critical moment when the nation was in peril, the people of Sichuan left a brilliant mark in the history of civilization of the Chinese nation with tremendous sacrifices and losses.

……

Zhu Pingjin participated in the commemoration of the Anti-Japanese War of the Sichuan Army, and offered flowers to the bronze statue of a broken gun, straw sandals, and a hat on his shoulder. Hong Qihui's speech made Zhu Pingjin suddenly feel like a treasure.

Ignoring his wife's ugly face, he affirmed it first and then said, "What Mr. Hong said is very much in line with the dialectical method of the sage!" There is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are also compatible, long and short are like, high and low are inclined to each other, sound is harmonious, and the succession follows, and the constant is also (Note 1)! Soldiers, the world is said to be paid and food, but Mr. said that soldiers can be safe, and peace can make money, which is very dialectical! It's just how to make money with soldiers, and please ask Mr. for advice! ”

The first half of Zhu Pingjin's words, Luo Yuhong did not understand. But in the second half, Zhu Pingjin asked Hong Qihui bluntly how to "make money", and she immediately understood.

"Northern Sichuan originally had a large population, and its wealth was not weaker than that of southern Sichuan. The salt of the well of Furong, the sauce and vinegar of Langzhong, the silk of Shunqing, the wine of Shehong, and the rice of Yuechi are all famous in Shu. There is also the Jialing River and its tributaries criss-crossed, with convenient water transportation and developed commerce. Now that northern Sichuan is withering, Weichen thinks that it is still the disaster of soldiers and bandits, and the fault of rampant conquest! As long as I am in the palace of the king of Shu, I will calm the hearts of the people and obey the will of the people; Encourage agriculture, eliminate tax abuses, and rest with the people, in two or three years, northern Sichuan must be a thriving appearance! ”

Hong Qihui is talking about the importance of investing in a soft environment, at least that's how Luo Yuhong understands it. However, the problem she is most anxious about now is not this, but the lack of one million taels of silver for surplus grain storage. So she finally broke her solemn promise never to open her mouth and opened her mouth on the throne.

"Mr. Hong, the army cannot be short of food for a day. The requisition of surplus grain is a long-term policy set by the prince. But if we collect all the surplus grain in Sichuan, and this girl is worried that the people's rations are not enough, and the silver taels in the palace are not enough, which will cause the market prices to soar, what good way can Mr. Hong have? ”

Luo Yuhong asked in a hurry, and almost leaked his mouth, and told the fact that he had secretly printed 1.5 million taels of silver tickets in an emergency.

So that's it! Zhu Pingjin finally understood why he was beaten plainly: his emotional wife was in a big disaster and was afraid of being exposed, so she leaned on me in public first, so as to seal my mouth!

Hong Qihui also understood, no wonder Miss Luo tried her best to give herself a look just now and let herself speak. It turned out that he and the royal ministers had collected too much surplus grain, which was beyond the ability of the Shu Wangfu to pay!

Hong Qihui understood and was relieved. It seems that there is no problem in advising at least Miss Luo!

"In the humble opinion of the ministers, the requisition of surplus grain is indispensable!" Hong Qihui said solemnly.

He believes that in the history of Sichuan, there were few fields and many people, and one person was about three or four acres or more. The Shu people have a full stomach, all relying on the heaven-given fertile land of Shu, which can produce stable and high yields. The figures from the economic data show that there is no room for large-scale surplus grain purchases in Sichuan. This time Yazhou requisitioned grain, and the gentry and large households have all taken out their grain stocks for many years. If you levy it this year, it will be meaningless to levy it again next year. Otherwise, not only the tenants would go hungry, but also the gentry and the big families.

It can be inferred from this that the compulsory requisition of surplus grain can only be a short-term supplement to the tax in kind, and cannot be regarded as a long-term policy. The key to solving the food problem is still the progress of the promotion of tax contracting. If tax collection can be popularized throughout Sichuan, according to the output of two stones per mu and the tax standard of one percent, and then taking into account the 4 million mu of high-yield fields with a yield of four stones per mu in the Dujiangyan Irrigation District, Jiading, Mianzhou, and other places, and with 1,500 mu of cultivated land in Sichuan, 3.5 million stone of grain can be levied to feed the 700,000 troops, including those who have been out of production.

Collecting so much grain and feeding so many people is the limit of what Sichuan's agriculture can support at present. If we continue to increase the amount of grain to be collected, or if we feed more people, the amount of grain on the market will be reduced, the price of grain will be high, and the common people will go hungry, thus completely aborting the initial political goal of "Taiping Sichuan." Therefore, in order to increase the amount of grain requisitioned, there is no other way but to reclaim wasteland and increase production. In addition to fighting wars and maintaining public order, the army's other major role is to open up wasteland and cultivate land. Sichuan is a large province, not because there is no arable land, but because the amount of waste land is too large. The two teams of the merchant village are all strong men, and it is no problem for one company to open up 1,000 acres of land every year. In this way, the soldiers are available, and the problem of feeding the army has also been solved, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

……

Hong Qihui's method is the method of raising troops in Tuntian, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, which is very close to the original intention of establishing the guard system in the early Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, once said that "raising millions of soldiers does not cost the people a grain of rice", which is an affirmation of the army's tuntian. There are also three famous examples of Zhu Pingjin's previous life, one is Nanniwan; the second is the Xinjiang Construction Corps; The third is the Great Northern Wilderness. The Great Northern Wilderness and Xinjiang later became China's main grain and cotton supply bases, which shows that Tuntian has achieved remarkable results.

No wonder when I first saw Hong Qihui at the east gate of Yazhou, I thought he was my GM comrade! Zhu Pingjin thought secretly.

Hong Qihui is taking this opportunity to comprehensively expound his viewpoint on the coordinated development of politics, economy, and military. Spotted leopards. If he has such a deep and broad view of the overall situation on agricultural issues that have a bearing on the national economy and the people's livelihood, then he can also handle other economic problems from the perspective of the overall situation. It seems that Hong Qihui was the right person to be his wife's deputy.

After talking for a long time, Hong Qihui still didn't talk about how to solve the deficit of more than one million taels of silver. But even if Hong Qihui conjured up this huge amount of money, he couldn't send it immediately. Because this more than one million taels of silver flowed into the market, it was likely to immediately raise the market grain price. Luo Yuhong was a little anxious.

Perhaps seeing Miss Luo's thoughts, Hong Qihui stood in the main hall and smiled: "The minister forcibly requisitioned surplus grain in Yazhou, and he has made it clear to the gentry in advance that it is borrowed from them by the palace for a period of three years. At the end of three years, the principal and interest will be repaid in full. In this way, within three years we have room to manoeuvre! ”

Hong Qihui's fluttering words resolved the anxiety in Miss Luo's heart.

It's just that the opportunity to play the right game in the Golden Palace is so rare, Hong Qihui can't miss it. Seeing a couple of men and women on the throne, he immediately smiled, and he threw out another important economic method - salt industry contracting.

Note 1: Later changed to 23 Arsenal, now North Chemical Industry Company.

Note 2: Changed to 20 and 21 arsenals respectively. Part of the equipment was moved to Anning, Yunnan.

Note 3: Hanyang Arsenal first moved to Chenxi, and then moved to Chongqing, and changed to Factories 1 and 11.
