Chapter 14 The Planning of National Forces I

Although he thought about a lot of things last night, but his body was too tired, Luo Yi still fell asleep early, and this sleep was also more than ten days old, the most stable and comfortable sleep, this is the feeling of home, and only at home can I sleep so peacefully.

Obviously didn't get up very early in the morning, Huang He, Huang Ling's father and son were already in the main hall of the Luo family, Huang He was talking to Daddy, Huang Ling saw himself and blinked.

After a brief wash, Luo Yi came to the hall and made a junior salute towards Huang He and Luo Xiong and said, "Snoozing, uncle, Daddy, good morning?" Third Brother Huang, good morning! ”

"Good morning!"

Huang He had not accepted Luo Yi's strange way of greeting, and both Luo Xiong and Huang Ling were used to such greetings.

Huang He said with a smile: "Young commander, you are young, you should sleep more, besides, you are a big project of my national forces, with gold and iron, our weapons can be forged in large quantities." ”

"Alas, my uncle has promoted the boy, and this credit is not mine, without Third Brother Huang, Uncle Meng Lu and the New Army brothers, I would not have been able to find iron ore.

Uncle, don't call me a young commander anymore, give birth to more points! I remember the first time I saw me, I thought it was good if you called me a virtuous nephew, or you would have called me Forrest Gump. ”

"Good, good, good! Virtuous nephew! Now the deployment of the national army is in accordance with what you gave, the plum blossom deployment map is being done, and the army establishment has also been changed, but the administration, Juntian, and the old man don't know how to proceed, and it feels like there is still something missing, and I hope that the virtuous nephew will solve the puzzle. ”

Knowing that the old man was hiding clumsy, Luo Yi still had to tell it all, Huang He, who had been the chief bookkeeper of Song County, would not know what was missing, who would believe it?

"It is true that there is still a deficiency, what is lacking is the law, and the plan written by me and Huang Sange requires a complete set of laws before it can be implemented.

In the big powers, and even in the big countries, the laws are issued by the rulers, but such laws are flawed, and they are not suitable for our national military forces.

In fact, the law is not used to restrict the people, but to standardize, formulate the law, the people within the provisions of the law, everything they do, are protected by the law, but the laws of other forces are too restrictive, and they are too exploitative, like the Great Song Kingdom, there are a large number of uprisings every year, in the final analysis, it is the law.

Everyone understands how weak our national army is, and everyone understands that we cannot withstand any waves, but it is impossible to set up a complete law now, so even if it is formulated, it must be discussed every six months, and what should be increased will be increased, and what should be reduced will be reduced. ”

"Virtuous nephew, isn't that right? This will change day and night! ”

"Uncle Huang is thinking too much, how powerful is the national army now? After the eighteen villages are merged with the five villages, all the orders can be issued in two hours, and even if we unify Vimo, they can be transmitted within a day.

Even if we are powerful enough to stand side by side with Dali in the future, I have a way to spread the orders issued by the center to the villages and towns in a few days, and when we can be almost the same as the Great Song Kingdom, our laws are basically perfect, and there are very few things to change. ”

Luo Xiong, who couldn't read big words, laughed and said: "It is worthy of my Luo Xiong's son, who has such ambitions." ”

"Congratulations to the Commander"

"Haha! Mr. Huang, you are the wise man of our national army, do you think what my son said is feasible? ”

"If everything is according to what the young commander said, of course it will work, but"

"Then you will discuss, I am a rough man, what should I do, just tell me, the law, the administration, the taxes, everything, you discuss it, and let me know the result."

"Yellow Crane commands!"

The people who can be the boss are not ordinary people, and Luo Xiong, who is illiterate, can of course see that the reforms that Luo Yi is doing now have done great damage to the interests of the current ruling class, and what will happen in the future is not something he can see through.

The reason why he agreed to everything was entirely because of Luo Yi, and now that Huang He's father and son have left, Luo Xiong couldn't help but ask: "Forrest Gump, all this you planned, aren't you afraid that the national army in the future will not be in my Luo family's decision?"

Although the father supports you, the father is very puzzled, especially the law you said, once it is formed, it will be difficult to change it in the future, and the only person who is the father is you and Ago, all of this will be yours in the future, do you understand? ”

"Daddy, of course the child understands, but these must be implemented, and the law will only increase the restraint on the officials in the future, not less.

As for Daddy, you are worried, in the future, this force will not be the final say of my Luo family, it is even more unnecessary, Daddy, you are the founder of this force, as long as you are still there, you will always be the supreme commander of this force.

Of course, the law also has a certain constraint on you, and this constraint is a good thing rather than a bad thing, because a person, even a saint, cannot do it without fault.

A person's thoughts and energy are limited, and when a person's words become the law, then this person is no longer a human being, but the Son of Heaven, the emperor, and the dragon that the world says.

To put it bluntly, the dragon is an animal, an animal stronger than all animals, but it has no emotions, and it will do whatever it takes to achieve its goals, killing his wife and concubines, and his sons, in order to become dragons, will also kill their father, brother, and brother.

And all this is not what I want, and you don't want to, father, right? What I am doing now is what my master deduced from thousands of years of dynastic changes.

After all my plans are implemented, we will farm and farm, the brave will join the army, the literate and hyphenation will be officials, and the merchants will do business, etc., and we will be called rulers rather than managers.

Even if our national army is strong enough to build a country in the future, Daddy, as the founder, is still the supreme commander of this country, of course it will not be the emperor, in this country, no one will rebel, and even if there is, it will not succeed, because he has harmed the interests of all the people in this country.

For now, as the stewards of this force, are our interests really harmed? Don't we have a monthly salary? Where does the monthly income come from, isn't it from agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, and what we have lost now is only fields.

When ordinary people will live better than before, more people will join the ranks of our national forces, and the possibility of rebellion under our rule will be even lower.

Daddy should not underestimate these small taxes, and when everything is implemented, these taxes will definitely exceed those lost fields. ”

Luo Yi doesn't know if this kind of MLM-style brainwashing is useful, but now the national army forces are very suitable for themselves to do any reforms, everything here is in a preliminary stage, and there is resistance, but it is very small.

Luo Xiong was not stunned by Luo Yi, took a sip of Panax notoginseng tea, and said solemnly: "If you were a father and were gone, would you become the commander of this force?" ”

"Not necessarily, because I don't want to be a commander, and in my plan, all the officials of this force, or the generals in the army, including the supreme commander of this force in the future, must rely on real skills, and there is no way to succeed to the throne."

"In this way, you are not afraid that other people will be the commander-in-chief, and it will not be good for you? If there is no succession, will anyone still fight for it? ”

"Don't be afraid, because my Luo family is the founder of this force or country, the new commander, what he has to do is to make this country stronger and the people richer, if he attacks my Luo family, then his commander will be regarded as the head, the administrative officer, the general in the army will re-recommend a capable person to the position.

As for the lack of succession, will people still work hard for this force, yes, whether it is for the name or for the strength of the family, they will, there is no succession, just to let people continue to learn and progress.

Only when he has this ability, he can sit in this position, as an official, although he can't directly let his son inherit his official position, but he has a very high salary, broad contacts, and the most resources, he can train his son very well.

If he finds that his son is not good, he will train his grandson well, and there is another advantage of doing so, that is, this force will always be the best official to be an official, the most courageous soldier to join the army, and the best person to teach. ”

"Alas! After all, a father is a rough man, but the ideal country you are talking about, the father really wants to see, what do you want, just do it! ”

"Daddy, you can also read and write! I have to discuss the law with Huang Lao in the afternoon, Huang Lao will call all the people who read in our power to come, and when the time comes, I will recommend one to Daddy to do the paperwork, Daddy, do you think it? ”

"Haha! All right! It seems that you have such a position in the military system, and when the time comes, learn from your father, let's go, it's time to eat. ”

When Huang He and his son returned home, they sent someone to inform them that all the people in the force who could read and break words would go to Huang's house in the afternoon to discuss matters.

"Did you send someone to inform your second brother?"

"Sent it, the second brother just returned a batch of salt from Tonghai, sent to Uncle Luo Ba's army in the morning, and will be back in the afternoon.

Father, you said that the young commander, I have never seen the second brother, why would you recommend the second brother to be the finance minister of Shuanglong Town? ”

"This is the clever part of the young commander, and it is also the terrifying place, he must know from the commander of Luo that your second brother is the only one in business in our forces, and he also knows that finance must be a person who understands prices and can manage money."

"Father, you said that if the young commander was born in the Great Song Dynasty, can he be called by Donghuamen?"

"Whether Donghuamen can roll call or not, I don't know for my father, but the end will be extremely miserable."

"Why? Father, don't you think the young commander is amazing? ”

"Huang'er! You are your third brother, the most suitable for learning, and the most intelligent, don't you know the truth of Mu Xiu in the forest?

The young commander in the national army is the blessing of the national army, and it is also his blessing, only here, all his ideals and ambitions can be implemented, and only here is it suitable.

There are many amazing talents in the Great Song Dynasty, such as the carp that crosses the river, Juntian, do you think no one has done it in the Great Song Dynasty? Yes, and he is a very remarkable person, but because of the framework of the Great Song Dynasty, it has long been formed, and this person has failed, and he has failed miserably. ”

"The person my father said can't be Fan Wenzhenggong, right?"

"This is the person who worries about the world first, and then the world is happy. This is a saint, and how many people can do this. ”

"Young Commander, is this also the kind of person?"

"Haha, no, it's different, you walked in the mountains and forests with him for ten days, do you think he is such a person? In the future, I will be closer to him, as long as the national army survives the catastrophe, my Huang family will take root here. ”

Huang Ling, who didn't understand very well, had to nod, thinking in his heart that the situation with Luo Yi was different, Luo Yi would be sad for the miserable life of many people, but he would never fight for it.

There is also the feeling that Luo Yi is born superior, this is a kind of momentum, talking about the emperor, there is no taboo at all, and talking about a cow is no different, such a person Huang Ling has lived for fifteen years and has never seen it.

The cultural level of the national forces is really worrying, and the people who can read 1,000 characters together, but there are only 51 people, including the three fathers and sons of the Huang He family, who can really be regarded as knowledgeable, but only 10 people, and the illiteracy rate of the entire national military forces is as high as more than 90 percent.

But thinking about the current era, Luo Yi is also relieved, especially here is of little use to those who read and write, they can't pull a bow with their hands, they can't carry heavy objects on their shoulders, and in order to have a mouthful of food, how many people are willing to read and write.

Fortunately, the strength of the national army is still small, and these people are barely enough, the army needs clerks, each village needs village officials, teachers, and the town's administrative agencies, and they also need a lot, whether it is the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Household Registration, the Department of Taxation, the Department of Warehouse Management, etc., all need scholars to be competent.

The discussion of the setting of the law is mainly about more than a dozen people with good learning, who are only a thousand literate, can only be regarded as a foil, but the main setter is still Huang He and Luo Yi, Huang He knows the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and Luo Yi knows the laws of later generations.

However, there are too many conflicts between modern laws and ancient laws, and Huang He and Luo Yi have discussed for a long time about the article that the murderer pays for his life.

Huang He believes that no matter what the reason is, it should be dealt with by the government, and the murderer must pay for his life, Luo Yi feels like manslaughter and excessive anti-counterfeiting, and there is no time to notify the government at that time, since it is only a preliminary design, so everything that achieves beheading will be suspended for one month to avoid unjust cases.

Manslaughter and anti-counterfeiting homicide should also be held responsible, but beheading is unnecessary. Huang He's second son, Huang Jing, who is also now the Minister of Finance of the National Army directly appointed by Luo Xiong, also proposed some commercial tax laws.

As a businessman, Huang Xun knows the hardships of the merchants, and also wants to strive for more benefits for the merchants, mainly because the merchants are very unpopular in this era of agriculture, and almost all the rulers think that their own forces, or the country, and the resources are all this, and the merchants are just plain people who use these resources to make money, they do not produce, but they get the most benefits.

However, all rulers know that their own power is inseparable from businessmen at all, so naturally they can only increase business taxes, Luo Yi naturally knows how important industry, agriculture, and commerce are to a force, and the composition of a force is inseparable from the three.

Farmers are primary producers, and workers are secondary producers, but merchants are not producers, but only resellers, without which the former two cannot develop and gain more profits.

"Second Brother Huang, among the ten articles of the core law of the nation that we have set, the third article is the best protection for businessmen.

You see, this law, as long as it is within the power of our national army, those who have household registration, their lives and legal property will be protected by the law.

As long as a businessman pays the commercial tax and personal income tax that he should pay, then all his property belongs to him, and no one can infringe on the property of others. ”

Huang Ling said in a bad voice: "Young Commander, are you talking about personal income tax, are you only businessmen, or are you the owner of our national army?" ”

"Of course, it is everyone, there is a standard here, for example: the standard of income tax that we need to pay is that those who pay more than 1,000 yuan a month pay taxes, and those who receive 1,000 yuan need to pay income tax in January.

Don't think that this kind of tax collection is unfair, this is also the ability to work more, of course, it is impossible for everyone to pay taxes, this is also what I said about distribution according to work, how much ability, how much gain, the greater the harvest, the more taxes paid for the government.

Therefore, the payers of personal income tax will be senior political officials, military officers, big businessmen, and senior craftsmen of our national army. ”

Huang He also felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he just said: "Okay! Today, it is getting late, so I will set these things up first, and we will talk about them tomorrow. ”

After a day of discussion, everyone was very tired, even some people who had not spoken for a day, they also felt very tired, although they did not speak, but they all listened very carefully, and what we discussed today is the real law of the national army forces in the future.
