Zhen Qian and Wang You walked in, and the room immediately became quiet: "Gu Master......!" ”

"Master......!"

"You go on ......, I'll bring someone to listen to your discussion today, just think of me as an audience!"

The two found two empty chairs and sat down, Zhen Qian lowered his head and whispered to Wang You: "This is an academic discussion hall, anyone can speak freely here, and some major decisions in the valley will also be debated here, and today's topic is the government military system and the conscription system."

At this time, I saw the loud man holding a lot of papers in his hands, obviously seeing Zhen Qian a little excited, he bowed to Zhen Qian first, and the paper in his hand trembled nervously, and it took a long time to calm down a little.

"First of all, let me talk about the difference between the government military system and the conscription system, the government military system is the integration of soldiers and farmers; The conscription system is professional soldiers, which is the first point, and the second point is the separation of soldiers and generals; The conscription system is that there is a subordinate relationship between the soldiers and generals, and there is no need to talk about these, the third point is the source of weapons and food, and the government soldiers need to bring their own weapons and food; The conscription system is conducive to strengthening the control of the imperial court over the army, and the conscription system is easy to form a situation in which the generals support the army and respect themselves, so I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the government military system and the conscription system from these four points......".

"The government military system began in the Wei and Jin dynasties and ended at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the reason why the government military system collapsed was the destruction of the Juntian system, coupled with the frequent wars, heavy military service, and the increase in deserters from the abandoned fields, and the status of the government soldiers declined, and the officials and aristocratic clans regarded the government soldiers as their own private soldiers, built houses and repaired walls and courtyards, so that the government soldiers were deeply ashamed, which was the main reason for the demise of the government soldiers!"

"And what about recruitment? The state recruits Ding men as soldiers, supplies weapons, food and clothing, and exempts from conscription, which certainly reduces the burden of military service on the people, is conducive to concentrating on agricultural production, and the imperial court has also established a strong army, which looks good, but the generals have been commanding an army for a long time, and there is a subordinate relationship between the soldiers and generals, resulting in a close relationship between the upper and lower levels of the army. ”

A tall and thin man stood up, pressed his hands on the round table and said, "Sixteen Lang, I thought you could come up with any novel arguments?" That's what you just said...... Everyone knows it here, so I'm asking you now...... Can the collapse of the government military system be solved? Is there a solution to the disadvantages of conscription? Don't talk about some useless big truths, here are facts and arguments, come up with practical methods, don't talk about ...... here."

Wang You whispered: "Da Lang, is there a contradiction between them?" ”

"This is a discussion hall, there is only right and wrong and solutions to problems, and the two of them have a good relationship in private, but there is no personal relationship here. You don't see that there are obviously two factions on both sides, one is in favor of the government military system, and the other is in favor of the conscription system, which is also the real reason for the establishment of the discussion hall! ”

Only then did Wang You see that the people around the round table were obviously divided into two opposites, one side was dominated by the fat man Sixteen Lang, and the other side was dominated by thin and tall people.

At this moment, Zhen Qian raised his hand and said, "I brought a person today, his name is Wang You, you might as well listen to which side he supports?" ”

"Ah......h Wang You's mouth can't say a word for a long time, isn't this chasing ducks to the shelves to make himself ugly?

"Next, we welcome Wang You to express his views!"

There was warm applause at the venue, but Wang You felt that these applause were not much different from slapping his face, so he gritted his teeth and stood up, secretly warning himself that he must not make a fool of himself in front of these people, otherwise he would not be able to raise his head in the future.

"I have listened to the views of both sides for a while, and I will first express my opinion: when the government military system was first implemented, it was warmly welcomed by the people, because they no longer had to rely on the powerful to beg for a living, but could be self-sufficient through the land allocated by the imperial court. But as the war continued, the problem gradually became apparent. When the war came, all the men in the common people's families had to go out to fight. They had never received any training, and going to war was tantamount to going to death. Not only that, but when fighting, they also had to bring their own food, grass and weapons. This is tantamount to adding insult to injury for already poor families. In the face of the constant letters of people fighting outside the country asking for food, the women and children at home had to smash pots and sell iron even if they did not eat, so that the men who were fighting outside could not be sent to death by starvation. ”

"The conscription system is a way for the imperial court to recruit soldiers from the general public, and the recruited soldiers need to meet certain standards before they can be selected for selection. The imperial court needed to issue weapons, food and military salaries to each soldier, and the important thing was that those who had made outstanding achievements in war could also receive fiefs, so to a certain extent, the enthusiasm of the general public was mobilized and the quality of the soldiers was high. It is said that the requirements for selecting soldiers are very high, and those who are conscripted into the army must be able to run 60 or 70 miles in two hours while wearing three layers of armor, wearing a bronze helmet, holding a weapon, and carrying military rations on their shoulders. ”

Wang You glanced at the fat man and said: "Just now Sixteen Lang listed in detail the advantages and disadvantages of many government military systems and recruitment systems, these are all in reality, so this ...... just now", Wang You pointed to the thin and tall man who didn't know how to call it.

The tall and thin man smiled in return, "Call me Eighteen Lang!" ”

"The solution that Eighteen Lang said just now is not nothing, but we must first understand the reason for the collapse of the government military system, that is, why the Juntian system was destroyed, is there a way to restore it, if not?"

The fat man said unhappily: "Didn't I already say it just now?" Do you think that the destruction of the equalization system was due to the occupation of land by the bureaucratic aristocracy and the clans, so do you think that the land in their hands will be taken out and redistributed to the landless people? ”

"Of course not!"

The fat man was unforgiving: "Since this is the case, the collapse of the government military system is inevitable, so it is not surprising that the recruitment system will appear, but how do you solve the phenomenon that the generals control the army?" ”

"I didn't mean that", Wang You's cold sweat came down, he had never seen such an aggressive scene.

"Then you are in favor of the government military system?"

"I am neither in favor of the government military system nor the conscription system", Wang You suddenly expressed his opinion, causing an uproar among the people around him.

"So you are a centrist, in this case, tell me where the source of soldiers in the imperial court came from, did it fall from the sky?"

There was a burst of laughter at the venue, and Wang You almost lifted the table and scolded his mother, "Listen to me and say that it is not good!" ”
