Before this, the generals Yang Zhan, Cao Xun and others were waiting in the hall, and after seeing Yang Xuan appear, these generals got up and bowed their hands one after another. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This can make Yang Xuan flattered, he is just a new general, there have been bribery rumors in the army in the past, saying that Yang Xuan sent money to Wang Chaoyang in less than three months from the most humble small flag commander to the general flag chief, 100 general, general general, and now he has become a thousand generals, entering the ranks of intermediate generals.

Yang Zhan and Cao Xun are both bright generals in the whole army, especially Yang Zhan has been in the limelight in recent years, and he is not inferior to Yang Xuan in the slightest.

Thirteen years before Chongzhen, Yang Zhan participated in the National Military Attache Examination, was named in the Beijing Division, won the first and third places, was appointed as a guerrilla general, and entered the official career.

In the past two years, Yang Zhan has served as the garrison of Guangyuan, and this time he has recruited the remnants of the rebels, who is brave and strategic, and is really a first-class general in Sichuan.

Now seeing that these generals were enthusiastic about him, Yang Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand.

After staying like this for half an hour, the chief soldiers, political officials, governors and other big figures came one after another, and the low-ranking officials and generals were particularly troublesome when they were in charge.

As the official document said, this time the generals were convened to discuss the meeting, mainly to sum up the lessons and lessons of this crackdown on bandits, and everyone spoke one after another, pointing the spearhead directly at Wang Chaoyang, claiming that if it were not for his corruption and bribery that provoked a mutiny, the officials and troops would definitely be able to directly attack Huanglong and capture Bazhou and Dazhou, the old nests of local tyrants.

The analysis is a little more profound is to complain about the lack of pay in the army, the lack of training in the army, and the involvement of ruffians and hooligans.

Chen Shiqi used to like to talk about military affairs, and he talked about it with literati a lot, and he was indecisive, and it was difficult to decide for a while.

After thinking about it, he looked at Yang Xuan, who was standing at the bottom, and asked: "Zixiu, in the past, you liked to talk about military affairs, and this time you have established special merits, plus you have been under Wang Chaoyang's account for several months, and you know more about the situation than everyone, tell me, what is the reason for this setback?"

Yang Xuan likes to talk about soldiers, everyone has already heard of it, and this time in the stage of the two armies to attack the ancient city of Yunshan, defeat turned into victory, and finally forced the local tyrant to withdraw from Pengzhou.

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves with wide eyes one by one, suppressing the panic in their hearts, Yang Xuan sighed and said, "When the teacher asks each other, the students really don't dare to answer truthfully.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the main thing in the war is money, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, but many of our officials cherish their feathers, resulting in arrears in the army for several months.

Although our officers and troops were immense, and all units were well-equipped, they should have been invincible in attacking and invincible, but they were occupied by rogue bandits on the battlefield and were helpless after blocking the way, because most of the officers and men were newly recruited, and they could not train lawfully on weekdays, and they were helpless on the battlefield.

These princes have just mentioned, and Xuan doesn't want to go into details.

Xuan just wanted to ask the princes in the hall, although Yao Tiandong and Huang Long were born scoundrels, but they were reckless characters, but their soldiers had also been good citizens in the past. ”

Everyone was indifferent, and the prefect Shi Jinchen's eyes shone green, and he sneered: "Yang Xuan, you have also been promoted by the deputy list, do you want to say that it is because the heavens are angry and people are resentful, and you want to spread rumors to attack the Holy Son of Heaven?"

Looking at Shi Jinchen, Yang Xuan sneered again and again: "Governor Shi, as the saying goes, think about it day and night, do you want to slander the Son of Heaven all day long, you can't even distinguish between good and bad words, no matter what you say, you want to throw it to the Son of Heaven."

In Xia Bucai, he had never seen the Son of Heaven, but he also knew that the emperor was intelligent, thrifty, and diligent in his administration.

I wanted to cover the sky with one hand of the eunuch party that day, and the Son of Heaven executed Wei Gelding and deposed the eunuch party while talking and laughing. The Holy Son of Heaven is diligent and thrifty, even if the ancient Ming Jun has never had it. ”

The two sentences were disputed, involving Emperor Chongzhen, Chen Shiqi hurriedly mediated, and Shi Jinchen pressed step by step, asking Yang Xuan to say how reasonable it was to grow the tyrant.

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Princes, when Gaozu was here, it was stipulated that every ten households were one Jia, the richest person was designated as the head of Jia, and every ten Jia was one mile, and the richest person was elected as the lichang, and the area with 10,000 or thousands of stones of grain was divided into a district, and the government appointed large households with more fields and more grain in the district to serve as grain chiefs. ”

Shi Jinchen seemed to grasp the handle, and slapped the case a few times: "Bold Yang Xuan, the Lijia system is determined by Gaozu, you are really crazy, you dare to criticize the Lijia system above the lobby, what is your intention?"

Yang Xuan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Prefect, you are the second class jinshi, even if you want to be charged, you need to listen to the general."

The governor and the political officer, the world only knows that the A system here is convenient for the government to collect money and grain taxes, but they do not know that the Li A system is a kind of grassroots organization of the government, which can be used to mediate neighborhood disputes, arrest stubborn criminals, and prevent gangsters from mixing in.

When Gaozu was alive, he met with the local grain chief many times, and the Lijia grain chief system was actually the Great Wall built by my Ming Dynasty for the people of Limin, in order to guard against rogues, local tyrants, and treacherous people. ”

Shi Jinchen laughed, looked at Yang Xuan and said, "Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, the world says that you talk on paper, it seems that this is really the case."

Since Gaozu established the Fish Scale Book, I Ming Dynasty implemented the Lijia system, so a good policy to calm the people, do you turn a blind eye?"

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Lord Prefect, although my Lijia system is still there, but now it is almost nothing, my lord has been a magistrate for many years, do you still have to open your eyes and talk nonsense?"

As the saying goes, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, the head of the Jia, the chief, and the chief of grain designated during the Gaozu period, and now there are a few families that still have any influence, which can be worthy of the position of the head of the first and the head of the li, and can help the government complete the responsibility of collecting money and grain taxes?

Can you help the government arrest the murderers and hunt down the robbers?

Can you protect the Great Wall of the imperial court from the invasion of traitors such as Liukou and Yao Huang, and protect the territory and the people?"

Everyone was in an uproar, and the civil officials present had been in local politics for many years, and of course they knew that many of the first heads and lieutenants had already become broken households, and some had even become slaves of the squires and accomplices in oppressing the Li people.

Shi Jinchen thought about it, but still admitted: "Yang Xuan is worthy of the name of Xiao Zhao Kuo, boastful, good at debate, and the old man is not as good as him."

But it's easier said than done, this head of the first class, the chief of the li, and the chief of the grain are all drudgery, and who is willing to serve in the rich and powerful people? ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this person likes to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, if he is the chief of the Lijia and delays the farm work in vain, offends the township, and has to be harassed by the government from time to time, who wants to be the chief of the Lijia and the chief of the grain?" ”

Shi Jinchen sneered: "Since you know this, you know the difficulty of politics, why do you still mention this issue, what is your intention?" ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "In the past, the chief of Lijia and the chief of grain not only needed to assist the government in collecting taxes and transporting grain, but after the implementation of a whip law, many places no longer need to transport grain and grass as in the past, so their tasks are not as heavy as in the past.

However, in order to improve the enthusiasm of the Lijia chief, the government can consider sending the official grain chief, and the government can consider giving the Lijia chief a certain subsidy.

If it can not only serve the township, but also make up for the economic losses of the Lijia chief, why worry about not restoring the Lijia chief and rebuilding the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty?"

Everyone was in an uproar, and Shi Jinchen was even more disdainful and said: "Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, you just said that the war is about money and food, and this setback is really because of the lack of money and food in the army.

Now you have to restore the Lijia chief, the official grain chief, do you want to do it, how much money will it cost, and if it goes on like this, the money and food will be even more scarce, how to send troops to suppress the bandits?"

Yang Xuan arched his hand and said: "If those mediocre officials are of course so, but if they are a little shrewd, not only will they not spend much on food, but the taxes they receive can definitely be several times that of before, so that they can not only relieve the difficulties of local finances, but also prevent the encroachment of rogues." ”

Shi Jinchen smiled bitterly and said: "Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, you are known as Xiao Zhao Kuo, and it is not a matter of recklessness in the lobby.

However, it would be an exaggeration to say that the Lijia system alone can alleviate financial difficulties. ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "It's man-made, who will do it, if it's an ordinary mediocre official, don't say that it calms the hearts of the people, it's not too angry and resentful, and it's good if you don't make thieves everywhere."

But if it is in the future, not to mention the stable side, but it will definitely rebuild the Lijia system, reduce the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the people, and the tax income will far exceed the normal situation in the past. ”

Shi Jinchen was quite annoyed and said with a wry smile: "Insolent, it's too arrogant." Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, now Yilong County magistrate and county are vacant.

You are a deputy list-lifter, although there has been no deputy list-lifter appointed by the imperial court in the past hundred years, but you are now a sixth-rank military attaché, and you can also be a petty official of the eighth-rank and nineth-rank first.

Now that Yilong County is unsettled, do you dare to make a military order and go to work? The rest of the old man doesn't care, as long as he can guarantee the salary of your army. ”

Even if the tax of Taiping Shengyi Longxian County is not more than 10,000 taels, and a military salary alone costs 20,000 taels of silver a year, how can so much military salary be raised now?

The ancients often said that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Yang Xuan's small deputy list was so empty-eyed that the Chinese officials thought that they could not do it, and they were quite contemptuous in their speech.

But what Yang Xuan wanted was this effect, and he beat the snake and said with a stick: "Shi Zhifu, this is true, the last general will temporarily manage Yilong County, and the money and grain of the headquarters will be completely out of this county?"

Shi Jinchen laughed and said: "A gentleman's words are quick and a whip, and this mansion is a prefect of the fourth grade, doesn't his words count?"

Although you are a person from Pengzhou, but now from the imperial court, down from all the prefectures and counties are short of money, food and soldiers, if you can train soldiers and horses to protect the local tranquility, if you can have a way to solve the problem of food arrears in the army, a small county, the government can still call the shots. ”

Chen Shiqi stopped again and again, originally intended to appoint Yang Xuan as the commander of the Chinese army, but Yang Xuan had already made up his mind, so he had to give up.
