In the end, Wu Dalang's previous words that sounded rebellious faded out of everyone's sight, and now everyone is thinking about the topic that Wu Dalang is talking about now.

The Great Song Dynasty also had disarmament, but it was not really implemented to the end, and the military system was still quite lazy.

Now that Wu Dalang has moved this matter to the court and said it, it has become a topic of discussion for everyone, so this matter should be carried out to the end in the future.

Huizong did not object to Wu Dalang's opinion, and those ministers did not have any opinions.

In the final analysis, the army of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed a lot, but the combat effectiveness is terrifyingly low, maybe it can be saved in this way, and it can also relieve the economic pressure of the country, and everyone has no opinion on this matter.

But Huizong still chose to ask these ministers first: "Do you have any opinions on Wu Aiqing's proposal?" ”

"The ministers have no objections." The ministers said in unison that there was no need to argue about this matter.

As soon as these ministers finished speaking, Wu Dalang immediately said: "Your Majesty, the ministers still have something to say. ”

Everyone: "......"

Huizong is tired...

"Say." Huizong didn't want to say too much at this time, so he directly gave Wu Dalang a word.

Wu Dalang said again: "Your Majesty, those old, weak, sick and disabled people are not very convenient to move, and after they are discharged from the army, they have also lost the guarantee of life, and their survival is a big problem. Naturally, we cannot ignore and watch them suffer. ”

"Those soldiers who came down from the battlefield are all good, they are the ones who defended the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and they should be given adequate protection. Therefore, the minister has a few suggestions. ”

"First, if the veterans can still farm, then they should also be exempted from taxes, and the fifty percent that the minister just said is for them. Let them know that being a soldier is not worrying about eating and drinking. ”

"Second, if a veteran soldier is disabled, has difficulty moving, and becomes a drag on his family for a while, we should give them enough subsidies to let them know that being a soldier is worry-free for a lifetime."

"Third, if the veterans don't have families, we shouldn't give up, we should at least let them afford to marry a daughter-in-law, someone to take care of, and life will not be hard. Let them know that there is no scruple about being a soldier. ”

"Fourth, if there are some soldiers who have died on the battlefield, their families should be taken care of, and the soldier should be given the title of martyr, so that they know that it is also an honor to be a soldier."

In this way, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will be fearless and invincible, this is what the army should look like. Your Majesty, what do you think? ”

Huizong rubbed his head, to be honest, he really has a headache now, Wu Dalang said too much today, he wants to reform everything, as if he was explaining his last words.

Why don't you usually come to the morning to say the same.,Just put everything in one day.。。

Of course, Huizong felt that what Wu Dalang said was right, at least it sounded fine, but it was a little difficult to do, and the workload was really a bit big.

So Huizong directly threw this question to the minister: "Wu Aiqing's suggestion, what do you think of Aiqing?" ”

The ministers looked at Wu Dalang with a slightly different look, especially some military generals, such as the Seed Master Dao.

Seed Master Dao has now taken the place of Gao Yu, and he is considered to be the number one in the ranks of military attachés, but Seed Master Dao did not feel much improvement in his identity because of this.

This is mainly because the Great Song Dynasty was a dynasty that valued literature over military force, and civilian officials accounted for the vast majority, and in this environment, military generals did not seem so eye-catching.

But Wu Dalang's move has invisibly improved the status of the generals, and of course the generals agree to see such a picture.

So, after taking a deep look at Wu Dalang, he immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Master Wu is reasonable, and this army reform will definitely make the soldiers more courageous." ”

The rise of military generals is a bad momentum for civilian officials, so whether it is a civilian official in the camp of loyal ministers or a civilian official in the camp of traitorous ministers, they do not want to see this matter.

But this matter was brought up by Wu Dalang, and the people in the camp of loyal ministers naturally did not say anything.

The civil officials in the traitor's camp were very angry, and at this time, those people were still pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Cai Jing was a little hesitant, if he came forward to oppose it, then it would undoubtedly be to push the Seed Master Dao into Wu Dalang's camp, and he also wanted to do the work of the Seed Master Dao and let him join his camp.

At the moment when Cai Jing hesitated, the other friends in his camp couldn't bear it, and Zhang Bangchang immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, if this measure is carried out according to Lord Wu's wishes, won't the extra money for disarmament be spent again? What's the point? ”

After Cai Jing listened to Zhang Bangchang's words, he sighed, he really doubted how Zhang Bangchang's brain grew, could it be an undercover agent sent by Wu Dalang?

Wu Dalang said with a smile: "Master Zhang thinks this matter is meaningless? Let me calculate for Mr. Zhang, if the original military expenditure accounts for 80% of the tax revenue, after the disarmament, it is assumed that the military expenditure will become 50%. Then take out 10 to 20 percent to take care of the veterans. The treasury is still one to two percent more. ”

"However, this matter is not measured by money, aside from the aspect of money, didn't Master Zhang listen to all the benefits I just said? Or is it that in the eyes of Lord Zhang, those soldiers who have retired from the army are not people? If they deserve to starve to death, should they be left to fend for themselves? ”

"Lord Zhang, people can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees, not to mention that those soldiers are still spilling their blood for the Great Song Dynasty on the battlefield, it is they who have defended the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, if there is no them, can we still stand here? I'm afraid that I have been a prisoner a long time ago, and Lord Zhang is not grateful, but he thinks that he will take revenge? ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers defend their homes and defend the country, and we should also give the soldiers a home. The money left in the treasury is just a bunch of cold items, but the hearts of the people are hot, and taking out a part of the money to benefit the soldiers, what they reap is their tears, how can we make these soldiers feel cold? ”

Zhang Bangchang's face was cloudy, and then he silently retreated.

Although Wu Dalang said it impassionedly, in Huizong's eyes, this matter was dispensable, and he was even more inclined to put the money in the treasury. In his opinion, those who are just useless, why waste this money.

Many generals saw Huizong's expression in their eyes, and they were also a little cold, and then shouted in unison: "Your Majesty..."

Huizong no longer hesitated, and said slowly: "Then according to Wu Aiqing's suggestion, this matter will be carried out jointly with the generals, and it will be convenient for the household department to discuss." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers shouted in unison.

"Is there anything else to do with Aiqing?" Huizong really didn't want to stay for a moment now, and asked directly.

Wu Dalang spoke again: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The minister just said that there are two places where the money goes, and this is only for the army, and there is another minister who hasn't said it yet? ”

Everyone: "......"
