Zheng Anmin's eloquence is excellent.

He spent half an hour explaining why and how the Left Guards should be reformed.

Yin Jialin and others have already done the policy propaganda work in the forefront, and the people in the audience, whether they are officers or non-commissioned officers, whether they are hereditary soldiers or households who have rented land for generations, are not much surprised by this. No one interjected noisily, and no one exchanged words. The issues of treatment and the way out that they are most concerned about are below.

"Anyone who joins our caravan will be treated according to the badge of our caravan. Officers are paid for their salaries; In addition to military salaries, soldiers also receive a monthly allowance of two buckets of food. Of course, only half of the soldiers' salaries were paid, and the remaining half of the palace was kept for them, and returned to the ...... after ten years."

Zheng Anmin was talking about personnel treatment and diversion, when suddenly a person stood up below. The man was twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a dignified appearance, and a very strong birth. He neither gave up his hand nor bothered, and stood in the audience and asked loudly:

"Non-commissioned officers can divide the land and get subsidies, so why can't our officers divide the fields and get subsidies? Liu Quanzhong and his party conspired against each other, and we waited for peace and self-control, and we were loyal to the palace, so far! There is no half of the land in the family, and the whole family, young and old, is supported by a meager six-grade official salary! ”

As he spoke, he shook the patched robe on his body. The official robe has been worn for many years, the complement is incomplete, and the color is whitish. The brittle fabric shook and made a rattling sound.

"We also want to divide the fields! Once the fields are divided, we will join the caravan! ”

After the young officer finished his last sentence, he did not sit down, but stood straight in the center of the room, his eyes fixed on the stage.

The scene is so discordant! Zhu Pingjin knew that the officer was not staring at others, but at himself.

This person Zheng Anmin didn't know, and of course Zhu Pingjin didn't know either. Zheng Anmin was about to open his mouth to appease, but Shu Guoping beside him had already stood up and scolded loudly: "Cui Chengru, you see the occasion clearly!" The Son of the World is on top! Before the prince proclaimed you, you made a loud noise in front of the palace, is this a gift for the ministers? ”

In front of Zhu Pingjin, Shu Guoping always looks like a righteous man and a gentleman. When interacting with people, he is also humble and easy-going. Unexpectedly, scholars also have times when they are angry, and they look so fierce when they are angry!

But Cui Chengru was not convinced, and immediately refuted Shu Guoping:

"It's not that the officials are rude! I'm just asking for fairness! Liu Rebellion's party is rampant and domineering in the guard, and acts recklessly, and we wait for these people who are not attached to Ah to become a thorn in the side of Liu Rebellion's party! The current one was seized, the land was occupied, and the old father was angry to death! Now that Liu Shun and his party have been imprisoned, and the family property has not entered the house, it is really happy! I wait for these courtiers to applaud the wisdom and decisiveness of the prince! But the reform of the left guard requires us to start from scratch, but also does not give me equal land! Xia Guan really can't figure it out! ”

……

Officers were paid high monetary salaries to connect with the imperial court's system of money; The soldiers, on the other hand, mainly provided in kind, and tethered the hearts of the army by distributing land to themselves and their families, so as to ensure the loyalty of the army. This is the system of salaries and badges set by Zhu Pingjin when he built the new army at the beginning of the year. Combined with the characteristics of the army building of the two teams in Shangzhuang, the salary and medal system constituted a military system in which the two teams were integrated and the army and the people were connected.

This set of salary and badge system is not original to Zhu Pingjin, he draws on the experience of building the army that went from defeat to victory in the previous life, and also draws on the experience of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the present generation. However, after this system has been running for a while, some loopholes and drawbacks have appeared. These problems are minor problems at the level of Zhu Pingjian. But for some of the people below, it's a big problem.

The biggest loophole and drawback is this land division policy.

Many of the soldiers who used to protect the caravan have been tempered by blood and fire and have taken up leadership positions. However, the land they and their families had allocated when they were soldiers did not quit because of this.

Take the people around Zhu Pingjin as an example. Wei Chen turned out to be just an ordinary creep. His family of five, his parents, brothers and sister divided a total of 25 acres of land in Renshou County, and his father Wei Gan took the time to open up 3 acres of wasteland, which added up to 28 acres of land. But now Wei Gan, Wei Shen, Wei Chen, father and son are all deputy battalion-level officers, and the younger sister is said to have also been a small steward in the Sichuan Weaving Bureau, so that the whole family of five is left with only one old lady to farm, how can 28 acres of land be cultivated?

Wei Gan once reported to Li Chongwen and asked that the excess land be returned and that only his wife's five acres of land be retained. Wei Gan's personal high demeanor is certainly worthy of praise, but this is not Wei Gan's personal matter, but a common thing for the draft officers.

Do you have to retire when you become an officer? This is related to the continuity and stability of the preferential policy of protecting the caravan, and even more related to the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the army. After careful consideration, Li Chongwen, who was specifically responsible for handling the case, made a proposal to Zhu Pingjin on the one hand, and temporarily rejected Wei Gan's application on the other. Zhu Pingjin quickly gave instructions and supported Li Chongwen's ideas and suggestions:

The surplus land allocated by the officers and soldiers can be voluntarily returned, or they can be rented by themselves or by Wang Zhuang on their behalf, but the rent of fifty percent of Wang Zhuang's land is paid, as long as it is not deserted. As for the price of the tenant, it does not matter if the palace that sells the tenant on its own, the tenant by Wang Zhuang still maintains fifty percent.

When the royal government and the new tenants each took fifty percent, the original tenants did not receive a penny. This is tantamount to the royal government taking back the tenant right in disguise. And so new problems followed. The military dependents who had idle land were suspected that Wang Zhuang would not give them points, so they took advantage of the influx of displaced people to transfer the land to tenants at a high price of 70 or even 70 percent. handed over fifty percent to the palace, and he fell two percent or even two percent of five.

Li Chongwen reported that this situation is not uncommon. He also said that there was an even worse sign: some military dependents took advantage of the opportunity of reclamation and rent-free to occupy wasteland first, and then recruited displaced people to cultivate it on their own and became second landlords!

An old exploiting class has not yet been defeated, and a new exploiting class has been born.

This is the human nature of greed! From ancient times to the present day, it is eternal and unchanging.

It may be suppressed for a while, hidden, but it will definitely not go away. When the time comes, it will come to the surface in a grand manner, dominating the behavioral consciousness of individuals and the operation of society composed of individuals!

The creation of a new interest group was by no means the original intention of Zhu Pingjin's policy.

Wangzhuang has a seventy-fifty rent, how will Zhu Pingjin face a political opposition like Yang Tianguan?

But is it because of these exploitations that a market behavior under the laws of the market should be denied? The so-called market economy is to take advantage of the greedy nature of countless individuals, let them play freely, and seek a macro balance. It's like Brownian motion in physics: the wind is turbulent at the microscopic level, and the wind is calm at the macroscopic level.

For a possible intervention, Zhu Pingjin hesitated.

First urgent, then important, Zhu Pingjin repeatedly reminded himself that things are complicated, and you must not mess with yourself!

The top priority, is the military! It's combat power! It is the victory of the war!

……

There was a strong smell of gunpowder on and off the stage, and the two sides of the confrontation were Jun Shu Guoping, the deputy director of the caravan, and Cui Chengru, the left guard of Baihu.

Cui Chengru was stubborn and hard-mouthed, which made Shu Guoping's anger bigger and bigger:

"Cui Chengru! The last time Liu Shun's party punished the court and the palace did not come down, you made an argument and instigated the sergeant to burn Liu Quanzhong's house, which is called keeping oneself in peace? Is this your loyalty? Is this the fairness you want? At that time, the superintendent was also excited, so he opened the net. Who knew that you would become even more reckless and reckless! The palace is so big inside and outside, and there are so many non-commissioned officers and officers, if you want this or that, where will you put the world? ”

It seems that Cui Chengru does have pigtails that were caught in Shu Guoping's hands. As soon as Shu Guoping shouted out his black history, he immediately went down.

To be a prisoner, you must first be able to suppress the army. What is the use of supervising the army if it can't suppress it? From this point of view, Shu Guoping is extremely competent.

Seeing that the scene was under control, Zheng Anmin was about to continue, but who knew that a rickety old man stood up in the crowd below.

The rickety old man's bare head was covered with a six-in-one yarn hat. When he raised his head, he looked extremely ugly and terrifying. Half of his face collapsed, and his tight and shiny skin tugged at the corners of his mouth and eyes, making people shudder.

"Shu Jianjun, you don't blame the subordinate for talking too much!"

As soon as the old man spoke, his lips pulled at the skin of his face and the corners of his eyes, which made him even more hideous.

"Although Cheng Ru is a little reckless, what he said is reasonable, we have to listen honestly, right? Those of us were born to be soldiers of the royal palace, and we have been on duty since we were young. The master is in trouble, we ......"

"This is Wang Jia, the grandfather of Wang Jing." Yin Jialin silently walked behind Zhu Pingjin and whispered, "He is a loyal minister who risked his life to protect the lord!" ”

Yin Jialin's half-sentence made Zhu Pingjin immediately understand Wang Jia's origin.

During the Wanli period, the Shu Wangfu suffered a terrible disaster of fire and water.

The fire started from the corridor on the west side of the carrier hall square, and quickly extended the inclined corridor to ignite the main hall and the carrier hall, and then spread to the side halls on both sides of the carrier hall. The sky-high fire burned for three days, and the billowing black smoke rose for five days!

Fortunately, there is still a considerable distance between the carrier hall and the surrounding hall and the Chongxin hall behind it. This fire did not burn down the entire outer dynasty of the Shu Palace!

It is said that the scene was extremely chaotic at that time. Zhu Zhishu, the eldest grandson of the king, who was studying in the outer court, was young and naughty, and suddenly disappeared, scaring the eunuchs waiting around him half to death. Wang Changsun's bodyguard Wang Jia rushed into the fire to look for it, but was hit by a burning girder, so he became what he is today.

Of course, I later learned that Wang Changsun's disappearance was just a false alarm. But Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan, was still moved to tears by Wang Jia's spirit of risking death to protect the lord, and specially applied for a hereditary military position of one hundred households.

It turned out to be an old man from Wang Qi who was injured at work, and a rare disabled soldier of the left guard!

Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, who is good at grasping typical examples, setting an example, and setting a positive image by example everywhere, took action almost immediately.

In front of everyone, he walked to the stage with Yan Ruise, and respectfully saluted Wang Jiashi, saying, "The kid has no eyes, and he doesn't know General Wang!" Then, in full view of everyone, he personally supported Wang Jia's arm and climbed the school review platform to give a seat and invite tea.

Zhu Pingjin took the initiative to lower his figure and show favor to Wang Jia with the respect of the prince, not completely to promote positive energy.

Cui Chengru's words reminded Zhu Pingjin, and some people in the left guard were both emotional and worried about Zhu Pingjin's inclusion of them in the Shang and Zhuang teams.

Zuo Weiyuan was the wife of the real brand, and the two teams of Shang and Zhuang were Xinna's concubines. Now that the big and small identities are reversed, the big ones are being co-opted by the small ones, and the left guard naturally has emotions.

It's more normal to worry. The change in status naturally followed by a decline in political and economic status.

Chang Shi Si and Zuo Guard, one writer and one martial artist, were originally the two generals of the palace. Now that the status of the Changshi Division is standing still, Zuo Guard has sent civil officials like Zheng Anmin, private copywriters like Shu Guoping, and middle-level officers like Yin Jialin to preside over the reform, which clearly means a significant decline in status. So what they are most worried about is whether Zhu Pingjin, the heir of the Shu Kingdom, will abandon the left guard with contempt? As the poem says:

But when you see the newcomer laughing, you can't hear the old man crying!

An old man like Wang Jia, he represents a kind of historical inheritance. Zhu Pingjin's public overture of Wang Jia sent such a clear signal to the outside world: The prince still relies on the left guard. Officers and soldiers who were born in the left guard will not be discriminated against in the new army!

……

There are no parties and no factions, and there are all kinds of strange things. Zhu Pingjin can't remember which great man said this. As a large organization, the Forces nouvelles naturally have small groups in it. Such small groups do not need to rise to the political level of clique and selfishness, they are merely a circle of friends naturally gathered by common experiences.

As more and more officers from the Left Guard were populated into the organizations of the New Army at all levels, Zhu gradually discovered that the officers from the Left Guard may not have the same fighting spirit as those who came from the grass mark, but they also have their own characteristics, or strengths.

He once made an analogy to his wife, those cadres who were born in grass labels are basically black and red. Black represents the course of suffering and hatred; Red represents fiery passion and incomparable loyalty; And the cadres from the left guard are colorful, even a little bizarre.

Among them, there are both the honest and loyal Yin Jialin and the technical otaku Yu Ruzhen; There are not only Liu Lianpeng, who is good at leading soldiers, but also Tao Xiansheng, who has a flexible head bag; There are not only the Feng brothers who like to kill, but also the natural actor Han Wendou; There are not only Yang Neng, a talented person in the shopping mall, but also Wu Yuankang, a political soldier. In a word, there is everyone in the left guard, a hodgepodge.

Luo Yuhong also discovered this. She relies on the women's association to engage in the fashion industry, and she can't do without beautiful models, and the current world style does not allow her to openly recruit from the society. So she shifted her attention to the left guard's circle of wives.

The first target is the Lin family, the wife of Wei Hua Tao Xiansheng of the left guard.
