Chapter 128 Chen Ying's royal road and domineering

Naturally, there are not many things that can be bought for seven and two dollars, but the things that can be bought for seven and two hundred dollars are definitely not small. If you buy all the grain, you can buy fourteen stones and four buckets, enough for a family of five to eat for a year.

The point is, this is the extra money that the soldiers of the Tang Army get.

Originally, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty only enjoyed the benefits brought by the land, and after surviving the initial survival problems, they slowly began to become life-sparing and comfortable. After all, human desires are endless. In the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao began to Tuntian, which was originally a soldier of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and had nothing but one life.

As a result, according to local conditions, the government contributed money, seeds, land and farming tools, and the displaced people contributed to the tuntian, if the official cattle were used, sixty percent of the income would go to the government, and forty percent would be individuals. If you don't use the official cow, then the income is split in half.

In fact, the so-called system is far more profitable than working on farms in the United States, and it is absolutely impossible for any enterprise to divide the income equally with the workers. Generally, if an enterprise can give 3 or 5 percent, it is considered a conscientious enterprise.

However, man's desires are endless. After surviving the initial difficult period, these military and mintun were reluctant to do it, believing that the Cao clan had excessively deprived them of their rights and freedoms.

Sima usurped Wei because of this, which has nothing to do with conspiracy, and this has nothing to do with wisdom. During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the baby emperor who appeared was very emperor, and even Huo Guang was also given an edict and exterminated his family. As long as the imperial court did not lose the foundation of people's hearts, in fact, the conspiracy was destined to be impossible to succeed.

When Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying were together, Chen Ying repeatedly told Li Jiancheng that the military system of the Tang Dynasty must be reformed, otherwise in the long run, the imperial court will cause the scourge of the feudal town.

Because, there is no way to mobilize the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, let alone the generals, even the soldiers are not willing to transfer lightly, just like the Zhichong Mansion in Jiangzuo, where there is a lot of rain, and it can be cooked twice a year. For the same planting of 100 acres of land, Jiangnan can earn 400 or 500 stone of grain, while Guanzhong has about 200 stones, while Hexi has only about 150 stones, and there are often droughts.

The land is barren and the poor are different, and the people's hearts are naturally uneven, so there is no problem for them to fight in a short time, and it is very difficult for the troops to be redeployed.

Li Jiancheng is the emperor who knows the soldiers, so he naturally knows that the mobilization of the Tang Dynasty army is not a problem, after all, he has suppressed the Turks, opened up the Western Regions, and killed the old enemy of Tubo, and no one who is not open-eyed dares to rebel.

As the saying goes, people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.

He has enough prestige, absolute prestige, but what about the crown prince?

Li Chengdao is now twelve years old, and Chen Ying has experience around him. But now that the Tang Dynasty has destroyed the Eastern Turks, subdued the Western Turks, and pacified Tibet, it can be said that in recent years, there has been no large-scale war at all. Lee Seung-do also did not have the opportunity to train.

Will he be able to subdue these proud soldiers in the future?

By tying the land to the soldiers, it is easy to form an interest group headed by the generals. Although Chen Ying did not say it explicitly, the military orders of the imperial court were absolutely not as good as Chen Ying's generals.

Now they know each other, but what about in the future?

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future.

Today's most effective army is actually the three armies of Chang'an Twelve Guards, Andong Army and Anxi Army, all of which have the best treatment in Datang and enjoy the best benefits.

Of course, the Twelve Guards Army and the Anxi Army can accept transfers at any time, and the soldiers have nothing to worry about, they have money and can buy land at will, but they will not be bound by the land.

The reason for this is to use the military salary of 700 yuan to make up for the loss of tax exemption. In fact, the soldiers will never complain, the tax rate of Datang is extremely low, and every Ding has to pay two stones of corn to the state every year, which is called rent; Pay two zhang of silk, three taels of cotton or two zhang of cloth and five feet, three catties of hemp, called tune; Twenty days of conscription, plus two days in leap years, is regular service, and if the state does not need it, each ding may pay the standard of three feet of silk or three feet seven inches and five minutes of cloth per day. If all of it is converted into money, it is equivalent to about three times a year.

The tax-free privilege of exchanging seven and two hundred coins for three quinnies is equivalent to more than doubling the benefits for the soldiers.

In fact, Li Jiancheng can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The clan gate valve is Li Jiancheng's biggest enemy at the moment, he wants to dig a big pit for the clan gate valve, the clan gate valve will complete the extremely strong Yang Guang, and the Sui Dynasty will also disappear, once they repeat the original method, Li Jiancheng will become Yang Guang's second.

Li Jiancheng first issued an order and never gave more, winning the favor of the people of Limin.

and then to the army to issue money, Datang is now more and more widely used, the annual investment of more than 7 million military salaries, will eventually flow to the market, so that the price of Datang will definitely slowly expand, and the wealth of the family will slowly shrink.

I have to admit that some of these clan gates are smart people. When he learned that Li Jiancheng gave the army a salary, and all these military salaries were money.

These clan gate lords are ready to hoard the money circulating in the Datang market, and as long as they reach a certain amount, they can run the credit of the money into bankruptcy.

Once the credit is bankrupt, there is no difference between money and waste paper.

The key point is that as the carriages carrying copper ingots arrived in Chang'an, these clan gate lords immediately discovered that the fire in the inner chamber was not extinguished day and night, and these clan gate valves immediately gave up this plan.

These copper coins have exceeded all the liquidity of the clan gate, especially the richest Taiyuan Wang clan withdrew from this game, which made the other six families hesitate.

I have to admit that some of these clan gates are smart people. When the imperial court began to start the printing machine without fear, as soon as the number of banknotes on the market was large, they thought about eating the money, and they were no longer able to do it.

The family gate valve is a problem in the current Datang, but it will definitely not be a problem in the future. The matter of the army is not a problem in the current Datang, but it will definitely be a big problem in the future.

The root is still in the population base of the Tang Dynasty, which is different from history. In the four years of Zhenguan in history, the population of Datang was 15 million, but at this time and space, the population of Datang at this time was nearly 30 million, that is to say, the population unit after Datang should be calculated in 100 million.

If we don't deal with the problem of the family monopolizing the acres of land in the early Tang Dynasty, there will be big problems in the future. The so-called dynastic rotation is because the land is not enough to feed the population.

If the population exceeds the limits of the land, and the per capita food distribution is not enough, people will inevitably starve to death.

What if you are unwilling to wait for death? Then only the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning. As for the reincarnation of the five elements and the rule of officials, it is just a superficial phenomenon, and after seeing the collapse of the prosperous and powerful Great Sui Dynasty with his own eyes, Li Jiancheng knew that these things were just used to fool people.

The biggest problem in the Tang Dynasty at the moment is to strengthen the imperial power and balance the relationship between the imperial court and the family lords. In fact, the family gate valve and the imperial power are like a husband and wife, the two sides have cooperation and disputes, if you want to half a catty, there must be constant contradictions. Unless one side is strong and the other side chooses to back down.

Li Jiancheng thought about it, and he would definitely not be the one who gave in.

……

Li Siye, Chen Qian, Prince Li Chengdao, Su Dingfang's son Su Qingjie, Zhang Shigui's son Zhang Zhilong, Zhang Zhihu (according to the old "Book of Tang") Duan Zhigan's son Duan Zhan, Duan Qiang, Guo Xiaoke's son Guo Zhifeng, Guo Zhizhao and other more than a dozen teenagers studied with Chen Ying.

The oldest of them is actually Zhang Shigui's son Zhang Zhilong, who is now twenty-two years younger, and the youngest is actually Luo Shixin's son Luo Yanqing, who is just one year old. However, Chen Ying will never teach a milk baby.

In the face of more than a dozen second-generation Anxi Army, Chen Ying also did his homework.

However, Chen Ying obviously ignored the precociousness of children in this era, if it weren't for Chen Ying's well-informed, he really couldn't resist.

Li Chengdao bowed and said: "Young master, student, may I ask, Your Majesty governs the country, what is domineering, what is the royal way?" ”

In fact, this Li Chengdao is a small man and a big ghost, and the controversy over what is domineering and what is royal is already concluded by Wei Zheng and Feng Lun in the court.

The matter ended with Wei Zheng's complete victory and Feng Lun's complete defeat.

As the crown prince, Li Chengdao naturally saw the record of this famous court meeting in Kaiyuan.

Li Chengdao wanted to know how Chen Ying thought about what was royal and what was domineering.

How could Chen Ying not see Li Chengdao's intentions? If he doesn't see that he is human in these two lives, he will live all to a dog.

Chen Yinglang said: "The so-called royal road is that since the beginning of Wude, the Eastern Turks have repeatedly violated the border, slaughtered our Tang army and people, destroyed our city, and robbed me of my Tang grain, grass and property, so we must find ways to destroy them." This is the royal road, Tuyuhun is guilty of the border, Tubo is on the side, our Tang Dynasty destroys them, this is the royal road. The so-called hegemony means that no matter whether they provoke the Tang Dynasty or not, they must be destroyed. For the absolute safety of Datang, there are absolutely no forces or countries around Datang that can threaten the security of Datang! ”

Chen Ying groaned: "As for the way of a gentleman, it is to tell them before destroying them. The so-called way of the Tang Dynasty is that the barbarians have been doomed to be destroyed since ancient times. ”

Chen Ying didn't care if these teenagers could understand Chen Ying's words.

However, after listening to Chen Ying's words, the eldest Zhang Zhilong couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Zhang Zhilong lowered his voice and said, "Today, you all take care of your mouths, don't talk about it!" ”

"Why don't you say it?" Chen Ying said unhappily: "General Ben is a person who dares to act, do you want to let General Ben be a villain who hides his head and tail?" Since General Ben dares to say it, he is not afraid that they will know! ”
