Of course, Yang Xuan may argue, many changes need time to be consumed gradually, and compared with the reform of the yamen, it is more important to solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty's guards.

At this meeting, Yang Xuan was extremely annoyed and was greatly annoyed by the stagnation of the reform of the health center system.

Just as in the previous life, each company needed to hold weekly meetings, while rebuilding the department (office) and other functional departments and strengthening their daily administrative responsibilities, they would convene the main persons in charge of the following departments (offices) at the governor's yamen every Monday and Friday afternoon to discuss and discuss the key points of future governance.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, guards were established in various places where ethnic minorities lived, and eight points of tuntian and two points of tuntian cultivation were divided to protect the territory and the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang was triumphant, claiming that raising a million soldiers did not need to cost a penny of people's fat and people's cream, but in fact, since the establishment of the guard system, military households could not bear the exploitation of the officers of the guard, and a large number of people often fled.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the southeast coast of the Japanese invaders were in turmoil, and hundreds of Japanese invaders penetrated deep into the hinterland for more than 1,000 miles, not because the Japanese invaders all had three heads and six arms, one by one, but mainly because the guard system had already existed in name only, and the officers and soldiers of the guard did not contribute to the work, and they collapsed at the touch of a touch in the face of the fierce and vicious Japanese invaders.

Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang first advocated the recruitment system, hoping to make up for the lack of combat power of the guards through recruitment, so as to solve the problem that the Ming army could not fight, but it caused another problem, that is, the Ming Dynasty raised two kinds of soldiers (guards and recruits) with the tax system established by Zhu Yuanzhang on that day.

In the Han, Tang and Song dynasties and other great unified dynasties, in the face of foreign invaders and local turmoil, the imperial court often sent hundreds of thousands of troops, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court soldiers were not many generals and not wide, and the Qing army was unable to fight.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court rose, the Ming army went out to fight, although the battle of Salhu was because of the traitors betrayed the Qing army to use various breaking tactics, but the Ming army out of the pass was only more than 80,000 people, and the loss to the billions of trillions of countries was limited.

But after that, the Ming army faced the Qing army's tiger color, and it was difficult to fight in the field, and it was difficult to gather enough strength to resist or annihilate the other party.

Tracing back to the source, it is mainly due to the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty's clans (the number of clans in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was close to four or five million, almost half of the population of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty), the disadvantages of the guards (although the Ming Dynasty implemented recruitment, but did not abolish the guards system, the guards occupied several percent of the country's land and did not need to pay grain, and became the private property of the guards officers), and the disadvantages of the official gentry.

This is also the reason why there were several northern expeditions during the Yongle period in the early Ming Dynasty, each time sending hundreds of thousands of troops, and in the face of the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult to gather enough strength to pacify the Qing army after a defeat.

Since he became a politician, Yang Xuan has been well aware of the shortcomings of the Wei system, and when he was still in Shunqing Mansion, due to the fact that various reform activities were not fully carried out, coupled with the large number of troops, the finances were unable to make ends meet.

In order to solve the financial problem, taking advantage of the fact that Qian Bangqian had just arrived in Shunqing, he came forward to go to the Guang'an Thousand Households Office, abolished the Guang'an Thousand Households Office in one fell swoop, changed the 100 households into a township office, and ordered the officers of the guard station to return the occupied land and change it into a private field.

Unlike ordinary people's fields, which were taxed with 6 liters of rice per mu, the people only needed to pay 1 bucket of rice to cultivate the land of the former guards (the land of the guards was fertile, far above the ordinary people's fields), which not only eliminated the threat of the guards officers to the new regime, but also greatly increased the government's revenue.

After that, the health center was abolished, and the land of the health center was changed to become customized for the integration of private fields, who knew that after the recovery of southern Sichuan, eastern Sichuan, and respite, it was actually blocked.

Above the lobby, Chen Changji talked eloquently, believing that the role of the guard system could not be completely erased.

As everyone knows, Sichuan is a basin, surrounded by mountains, except for the north of Sichuan, which is close to Hanzhong, there are not many ethnic minorities, and most of the areas in eastern Sichuan, western Sichuan, and southern Sichuan are inhabited by ethnic minorities.

Although CD, Chongqing, Luzhou, Guang'an, Baoning, Lizhou and other places are close to the hinterland and the land is fertile, many military households have fled, and those who have not fled have already become the domestic slaves of the officers of the guards.

However, the Songfan, Maozhou, Weizhou (today's Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture), Jianchang (today's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture), and Yazhou (near Ganzi) were bordered by ethnic minorities, and the local remoteness and barren land made the general public reluctant to farm.

If the system of these local health centers is hastily abolished and the collection is carried out according to one mu of fertile land and one bucket of rice, the people will inevitably be overwhelmed, and even cause local turmoil and no peace.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone argued endlessly in the lobby, and some agreed with Chen Changji's intentions, believing that the area where the ethnic minorities are located is vast and sparsely populated, and the people are fierce, and if they are not properly handled, they may not be rich in the locality, and they think that the abolition of the health center needs to be treated carefully.

There are also radical factions who believe that after hundreds of years of development, the military households of the guard post have almost been reduced to the private property of the officers, and if the great drawbacks of the guard are not eliminated, the officers of the guard post will be greedy for ink, which will not only cause injustice, but also the military households will be disturbed and many will flee.

Above the lobby, Yang Xuan fell into deep thought, thinking of the system of the Construction Corps in his previous life, his eyes lit up.

Tracing back to the source, the guard system is actually a tuntian system, and most of the soldiers and horses trained are local militia groups, but Zhu Yuanzhang vainly tried to replace the imperial court with this kind of militia to control the soldiers and horses, so the ideal is very full, and the reality is very backbone.

According to the Tuntian system, in CD, Chongqing, Guang'an, Baoning and other anointed places, and in the hinterland of the Han people, there was no need to establish a guard system, which encroached on the people's anointed land and became the private property of the guards officers.

In the past, the health centers in Gwangan, Boryeong, Lizhou, CD and other places were abolished, and their land was converted into semi-official land, and the people cultivated their land and paid grain and taxes.

Because these lands are fertile, drought and flood harvest are guaranteed, and in the past, it was the public property of the government, and now the people cultivate on it, and it is more reasonable to pay 1 bucket of rice per mu of fertile land (the general land is relatively barren, and it is not a drought and flood to ensure income).

The Songfan, Maozhou, Weizhou (today's Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture), Jianchang (today's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture), and Yazhou (near Ganzi) were bordering ethnic minorities, and the government was supposed to encourage the people to cultivate in the local areas and accelerate ethnic integration.

The preferential policy is not to include all the ordinary people in the private property of the officers of the guard, but to let the ordinary people really get the benefits, as long as it is profitable, who is willing to leave their homeland and flee to other places?

For the Song Domain and Jianchang Prefectures, they were changed to corresponding prefectures and counties, and officials were selected to replace the officers of the former Guards.

For ordinary people, most of them are assigned to local militia (militia) to guard the locality, so that as long as they are incorporated into the militia, they are all exempted from personal taxation.

In addition to the Ding endowment, the field endowment has also been greatly reduced, and the general private field endowment is 6 liters of rice per mu, and in the border land, it is changed to 3 liters per mu, which is almost average.

According to the division law, it is generally two into five for the state and county, one into five for the state capital, and 50 percent for the state and county and 30 percent for the border land, and tax concessions are given.

Qian Bangxin disagreed, according to the division of the law Song Domain, Jianchangwei and other places The taxes are small, and there is not much money and grain in 20%, why not take advantage of the favor, and all the money and grain collected will go to the local government?

Thinking about the concept of a modern state, Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, and finally said with a smile In addition to the local militia, the government will also station three or five hundred soldiers in the local area, so it always requires expenses.

In this way, we can solve the major drawbacks of the guard system, completely abolish the guard system in the hinterland, and solve the strange phenomenon of one person raising two soldiers.

In the border areas close to ethnic minorities, the system of guards was changed to the modern tuntian model of the construction corps, prefectures and counties were established, and officials were selected to replace the exploitation of the local people by the officers of the guards, so as to alleviate the plight of military households.

In this reform of the guard system, except for those declining guard officers, everyone has their own place, and everyone praises them.
