In fact, to be fair, the political ecology of the Song Dynasty can be called the pinnacle of feudal society, it does not kill scholars, does not distinguish between scholars and farmers, does not kill people who write and talk about things, it respects private property, and the common people can meet their lives with 30 wen a day, while the general daily income of urban residents is two or three hundred wen, and the mountain people also have an income of about 100 wen, many people only need to work for two hours a day, and they can live a very leisurely life, to be honest, the quality of life in the twentieth century is like this.

As for the later Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, in fact, it is a kind of regression in politics, think about the Ling Chi Zai, the common people starved to death of the Da Meng Dynasty, and then think about the world to be a clothed slave, the mite Dynasty that is in prison at every turn, Sun Yue unconsciously said more and more excited, and even forgot his identity, what he said was called a mouth like a river, gushing endlessly.

In his previous life, he had heard a historical bull tell him that the various systems of the later generations were actually essentially a supplement and improvement of the Song Dynasty system, and even inferior to the Song Dynasty in some places, so most of the systems of the later generations could be applied to the Song Dynasty system, so he really couldn't stop this time, and Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu were already dumbfounded when they heard it, and they even forgot to eat the wine and food.

"According to your method, 100,000 forbidden troops, the imperial court will do its best, then, what about the local Xiang army? They can't do the same, the court can't afford their benefits. ”

Sun Yue said: "Indeed, with such a huge logistical pressure, even the forbidden army cannot be expanded, and the Xiang army naturally can't follow suit, but the official family, the Xiang army of this dynasty is naturally still combative, but what about a hundred years later?" Under the big policy of strong cadres and weak branches, I am afraid that when the time comes, they will not be able to refer to the war, so the minister thinks that it is better to start the layout now, and the Xiang army will also be changed. ”

Zhao Kuangyin no longer treats him as a child talking nonsense at this time, and said quite seriously: "Let's talk about it, how to change the Xiang army." ”

"The separation of the military and the government, four words are enough, the official family wants to set up a transfer to cut the financial power of the Jiedu envoy, the minister thinks that this is a great good, but the minister is still that sentence, the Jiedu envoy is good or the transfer envoy, this is just the upper leaves, every soldier is the root, of course, the court must not have so much energy for the Xiang army, and there is no need to do it, but the minister thinks that it should be controlled at least at the level of the prefect and the commander."

"The prefect and the commander? Is there anything wrong? ”

"Of course it's not proper, the rank of the prefect is above the command of the envoy, but the prefects are all civilian officials, how can they understand the affairs of the army? The local money has been taken away by the transfer envoys, and the prefects will inevitably embezzle a large amount of money to local construction for the sake of the people's livelihood, and in the long run, how can it be used for a hundred years, and within 20 years, the Xiang army will be abolished, if the minister is the prefect, the Xiang army, just starve to death, and even simply treat it as a place for refugees, and may let them do manual work and other things, make up for financial difficulties, if the official family, the minister really does this, the official family thinks that the minister's performance assessment, which level will it be? ”

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned a little green, so he had to say: "As long as you don't fight, it should be a good one." ”

"The official Shengming, the box army, was originally to supplement the forbidden army, or to pave the way for the vanguard to build bridges during the expedition, or to transport grain and grass for logistics, if the prefects in various places are like ministers, thirty years later, there will be 500,000 box troops, can they still block a round of Khitan iron cavalry charge?"

Zhao Kuangyin's face darkened, and he said directly: "Okay, let's just say that your countermeasure is, do you want to improve the status of the commander?" ”

Sun Yue said: "This is naturally absolutely impossible, the commander must be under the prefect, with the military command, otherwise the commander has a knife in his hand, the prefect will become an ornament, and there is no difference with the Tang Dynasty, the minister thinks that the subordinate of the Military Commission can send one more civilian official position in the local area with the general judgment, under the prefect, specifically responsible for military affairs, but directly report to the transfer envoy, take out the military budget separately, the prefect has no right to use, specifically responsible for the life of the soldiers of the state and county Xiang Army, so that the person controls the money bags in the barracks, In this way, this person can not only check and balance the commander, but also have a slight restraint on the prefect. ”

Zhao Pu frowned when he heard this: "In this way, the authority of the transfer envoy is a little too large, I am afraid that I will have to send another person similar to the assassin to restrain the transfer envoy, hiss~ It's another big project." As he spoke, he rubbed his temples with his hands.

Sun Yue had no choice but to laugh and say, "That...... I thought of the prefect's level, and the relationship between the transfer envoy and the jiedu envoy above, naturally I had to worry about you, Master. ”

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go on, do you really point to you and think of everything?" ”

"Yes, the minister continued, the Xiang Army, in the minister's opinion, should also be treated differently, what the minister just said is only applicable to most of the state capitals, the functions of the front-line box army and the rear box army are naturally different, such as the Tianxiong Army in Xiongzhou, they are stationed on the Khitan front, naturally they can't be the same as other places, don't say that they send transfer envoys to collect money, and the imperial court has to supplement them with a large amount of military expenses every year, this kind of place, the minister's set just now naturally won't work."

Zhao Pudao: "This is also the crux of the strong cadres and weak branches, in that kind of place, everything is prioritized by war, and it is actually meaningless to send a transfer envoy or not." ”

"The minister thinks that they can enjoy the treatment of the forbidden army, we can't send a transfer envoy, we can send a political commissar, and let their children and families work in the factory, and then send civilian officials to manage industry and commerce, and the imperial court can set up some workshops with good weapons and firearms there, these things can't be attributed to the Jiedu envoys, and even let their brothers and sisters come to Kaifeng to work if necessary, as long as this virtuous circle is maintained, the Tianxiong Army is an inseparable part of the forbidden army, and it is no longer a Fu family army."

Zhao Pu said with a smile: "The official family has to unify the world sooner, if only Xiongzhou is allowed to enjoy the treatment of the forbidden army, the imperial court can afford to grit its teeth, if Qinzhou, Yangzhou, and Luzhou all enjoy this treatment, the imperial court has to let those soldiers eat yellow." ”

Sun Yue said: "Official, this is the minister's solid root policy, in fact, not only the military system, the minister thinks that the same can be the same in government affairs, the reason why the general is difficult to control, the root of which is that those who support him, the reason why it is difficult to control, is also because of those who support him, the minister thinks, the establishment of the system, should indeed abandon loyalty, consider every general from the worst angle, they should indeed be constrained and balanced, but this constraint should not be based on the separation of powers and responsibilities, but should be directly checked and balanced on every soldier, The imperial court holds the family of every soldier, and holds the twenty years after the retirement of every soldier and even their descendants, that is, how big waves can Cao Cao set off when he is resurrected? The minister thinks that this side is a hundred-year plan, and the law of the ancestors in this direction is to ask the official family and accept it. ”
