Section 205: Fallacies and heresies

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

Qin Haoming's move made Hu Dawei's mood very complicated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is undeniable that with the success of the expulsion of Jiannu Koubian and the successive victories of the Lian War, the generals and proofreaders within the Tianxiong Army have a good impression of Qin Haoming, and at the same time, his prestige has increased dramatically.

He also fully understands Hu Dawei's desire to do something, but he wants to change the stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years by himself, but he is a little naïve and immeasurable.

The Tianxiong Army was only a part of the border army in Xuanfu Town.

It is no exaggeration to say that Hu Dawei felt that Qin Haoming was killing himself.

He investigated the empty salary in a town and offended the general school in a town. If you do it in one province, you will offend one province. If it is extended to the whole Ming Dynasty, it will be boycotted by the military attachés of the world, and the catastrophe will never be recovered.

Without it, it will damage the interests of all the generals in the world!

"Everyone should eat and drink, don't stop, listen to the words of the tiger commander."

Qin Haoming waved his hand at the other two tables calmly and said, and he sat back at the main table where the generals gathered.

"Governor Qin doesn't know that there are not only reasons for the benefits of eating empty salaries, but also the helplessness in reality."

Hu Dawei saluted Qin Haoming with a glass of wine, and said with a long sigh.

"For example, if there are 10,000 soldiers in the last general, each soldier will receive one cent of silver and one liter of grain per day.

According to this calculation, the daily salary of more than 10,000 people is 100 taels of silver and 1 stone of grain, and a total of 40,000 taels of silver and 40,000 stones of grain are needed every year.

There are so many fixed salaries, and the grain should have been issued once a quarter, with 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 stone of grain every quarter.

But the imperial court not only dragged on in time, becoming once every six months or once a year, of which it was directly reduced by half.

Moreover, only 5,000 taels of the 10,000 taels issued were silver, and the rest were treasure money. Qin Du, you also know that no one is willing to accept that treasure banknote, which is equivalent to a piece of waste paper!

But that's not the biggest problem, what about food?

People are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, so this food must not be less, right?

I don't know that I owe more food! ”

Hu Dawei shook his head and sighed again: "Only 3,000 stones are sent every six months, if there are really 10,000 people, which is equivalent to each person not getting two taels of food per day, then wouldn't they all starve to death?"

Therefore, the generals had no choice, and when the soldiers were insufficient, they still reported according to the quota.

In this way, although the court is in arrears of food and wages, there are not so many people who eat food, and the two are even, and life can still be improvised! ”

High, really high! Eating empty pay can still be explained in this way, which seems to make some sense.

Qin Haoming stared at Hu Dawei seriously, this rugged man actually had this level, and his crooked reasoning was so reasonable.

If you don't accept it, you can't do it, both objectively and subjectively have said it, and I don't deny that there is a problem of interests.

If you don't know the real situation, maybe you will agree to it?

"The Son of Heaven trusts Lu Du, so compared to other friendly forces, Xuanfu Town will be much better off in this situation.

In the past week, the Governor has already checked the soldiers' salaries and food, and he knows it well. ”

Stretching out his hand to stop Hu Dawei, who was eager to distinguish it, Qin Haoming continued: "Of course, the amount of empty salaries in our army is also less than that of other armies.

However, as a general, have you ever considered those ordinary soldiers who are suffering from hunger, forced by greed, unable to make a living, and fleeing to each other? ”

Qin Hao said in a deep voice to the generals at the table with expressionless eyes.

The reason why crooked reasoning is said to be crooked is that it is secretly changing concepts. It makes sense, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Hu Dawei has a different position and represents the interests of the generals, so there is naturally some truth in saying this.

But what about ordinary soldiers?

Because he has no right to speak, he is ignored like this, and he has become a diao people in the mouths of civil and military officials, how sad!

But the officers were insatiable and insatiable, and they thought of ways to falsely report the number of soldiers to the imperial court.

Eat empty salary, that is, there is no such soldier in the army, but there is still a name on the roster, and the salary is paid according to the book, and the money goes into the pockets of the generals.

In order to have more "empty salaries", on the one hand, the officers falsely reported the number of troops to the imperial court.

On the other hand, the officers did not prevent the soldiers from fleeing, but took advantage of them, sometimes deliberately punishing the soldiers and forcing them to flee. This allowed for both embezzling military salaries and soliciting bribes from fugitive soldiers.

Under such hard labor, the soldiers had a better way out.

In addition to embezzling property, officers also embezzled soldiers, and soldiers were used as tools of personal labor.

These soldiers, who were occupied by officers, were not paid a penny for their labor, were like domestic slaves, did not obey orders, and were subjected to abuse and beating.

The soldiers are not like the soldiers, the farmers are not like the farmers, and the market is not like the market.

The soldiers have done too many things that have nothing to do with the army, which has affected the military training of the soldiers, and they have not received strict military training, so how can they win the battle on the battlefield?

Besides, since being a soldier is doing farm work, and it is also done without pay, so tired, it is better not to be a soldier.

Doing farm work at home, doing more and doing less is always up to you, so many soldiers run away and leave their country.

"The Dusi Health Office will be corrupt and bribed, and if there is a levy, it needs to be doubled, or the monthly money is included, and the transaction is indulged.

Or in the name of supplying Shangguan, strangle the monthly food, or refer to the errand to carve and reduce cloth flowers.

The military salary issued by the imperial court to the soldiers, the generals and officials all had to pluck the feathers of the geese, and sometimes the feathers were plucked more than half, and the soldiers were about to become naked geese, and they were as poor as calling a child.

The former Japanese governor inspected the lock alone and found that many of the border soldiers had no clothes to cover their bodies, could not eat enough, were tired and weak, and described as withered, which was really sad.

Have you ever thought that the soldiers of the Huazi can't even save their own lives, but they can still save the Ming Dynasty?

Joke! ”

Qin Haoming was not angry and arrogant, and his words were light-hearted, which made some of the generals on the table look ashamed.

"Of course, it's not like a family doesn't enter a door. After all, this move is detrimental to the interests of your brothers, don't force it, after all, this governor won't stay in Xuanfu Town for a long time, right?

If you go back and think about it, and if you are willing to take the full amount without eating empty salary, you can just speak to the governor in private.

Come on, come on, go one, whether you want it or not, the friendship remains the same! ”

Qin Haoming finished speaking earnestly, and when he came to the end, he shouted and made a fuss.

is the only one who has the advantage of age and fame, laughing and scolding, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

It's just that he said it lightly and didn't affect the friendship, and the generals at the table had all kinds of tastes in their hearts, and it was really difficult to choose.

Can't stay in Xuanfu for a long time, but people don't know the relationship between him and Lu Du?

I'm afraid that it is a disciple or a hand-held is light, but I didn't see that Lu Du basically obeyed his words and took good care of him?

One party is damaged in property, and the other side is damaged in personal friendship, how to choose?

It's really hard to have both fish and bear's paws!

The people present are all shrewd people, not to mention his relationship with Lu Du, it is Qin Haoming himself, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to temporarily take over the position of governor of several provinces, how can he not be reused in the future?
