Chapter 84: The family votes for Lu Guang
Seeing that the military budget has been successfully decided, the 1.2 million yuan of money has been reduced by a small half in the blink of an eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This made the rest of Cao instantly nervous, and they rushed to put forward their own budget first, but they didn't think that a good thing would fall on Yin Jing's head.
"It's time to learn Cao next, let Lord Yin Jing introduce it first."
As soon as Yin Jing heard his name, he immediately got up and said, "My lord, Xuecao plans to recruit five hundred masters this year to ensure that there are at least ten to twenty masters in the Mengxue Halls in each county. ”
"Recruiting masters, plus preparing for the construction of the Mengxue School, this expenditure is about 200,000 yuan."
"In addition, the sporadic expenses such as food, teaching materials, tables and chairs for the children enrolled in the school add up to about 80,000 yuan."
"Finally, counting the seven primary schools and one higher education hall, as well as various secondary and technical science halls, Xuecao needs a total of 600,000 yuan this year."
"What?! Lord Yin, you ...... You're too ruthless, you cut the budget in half at once. ”
"That's it, that's it, can't you learn Cao to eat meat, and don't even keep the soup with us, right?!"
"Yes, just now the military took away 500,000 guan, and now you learn Cao to get another 600,000 guan."
"As a result, the budget that seemed to be as high as 100,000 yuan turned out to be less than 100,000 yuan."
"But there are several Caos in the back, not to mention anything else, all the officials this year alone need at least about 100,000 yuan, do you want to starve everyone to death?"
"Even if the implementation of education is very important, the benefits can't be all for Xuecao to swallow alone, right?"
As expected, as soon as Yin Jing's voice fell, he was immediately criticized by his colleagues, and they expressed shame for his idea of monopolizing the remaining budget.
For this reason, Wei Shuo rubbed his temples and felt quite a headache.
It is said that Yin Jingdang proposed to comprehensively promote culture and education, but he was still influenced by him.
If it is a peaceful season, even if he smashes the pot and sells iron, he will fully support it.
However, the current reality does not allow Wei Shuo to devote all his financial resources to culture and education, and he must maintain basic military deterrence to the outside world.
and internally, it is necessary to increase investment in industry, commerce and agriculture to further enhance its own strength.
Wei Shuo pondered again and again, and explained helplessly to Yin Jing: "Mr. Yin, it's not that you don't pay attention to culture and education, but you can ...... But now Hexi's finances are not relaxed. ”
"Xuecao's plan is too ambitious, and Hexi is really out of reach."
Before proposing the budget, Yin Jing had expected that it would not be passed.
He just showed the importance of culture and education in this way, so he was silent for a while and asked, "How much budget is the lord going to approve for Xuecao this year?" ”
"Woo......" Wei Shuo pondered for a moment, and then said with a final word: "In this way, reduce the budget of Xuecao by one-third, and I will give you a maximum of 400,000 yuan this year." ”
"However, please rest assured, as long as the financial situation improves, Shuo will immediately increase investment."
400,000 is a lot, 100,000 more than the bottom line in Yin Jing's heart, so he readily agreed.
So far, the original financial revenue of 1.2 million yuan has been divided up by more than half in the blink of an eye after being divided up by Xue Cao and the military.
Excluding the expenses of officials, there are only less than 200,000 yuan left.
Next, before Wei Shuo could say anything, he divided five by two and was divided up by each Cao.
So far, the first military-political joint conference has been successfully concluded, and the interests of all parties have basically been taken into account.
As soon as the meeting ended, all parts of Hexi immediately threw themselves into intense post-war reconstruction.
Wei Shuo wrote through the Metropolitan Protectorate and asked the government at all levels to go deep into the people's land to ensure that every household that had been allocated land could successfully complete the spring ploughing.
In order to encourage and help the common people to open up wasteland and cultivate land, the government not only rented out livestock and new agricultural tools to the poor people, but also sent agricultural scholars to guide spring ploughing.
Thanks to the government's vigorous assistance, 300,000 ordinary people in Hexi have reclaimed more than 8 million mu of land, laying a solid foundation for achieving food self-sufficiency in the future.
At the same time, with the implementation of the Juntian system, the government soldier system, and the three-chief system, Shazhou has incorporated everyone under its rule into the management of the government.
In addition to working hard, Ding Zhuang also had to undergo military training in his spare time.
Among them, those with excellent grades will be selected as government soldiers and stationed in various places in Zhichong Prefecture.
Although the government soldiers have no salary, because they enjoy tax exemption during their service, they can easily not go to the front line, but they also attract many young people to join.
Of the 800,000 people in Shazhou, after preliminary statistics, about 30,000 young and strong people were eventually recruited as government soldiers.
This, together with 24,000 troops, is enough to meet the current military needs.
……
In 388 A.D., in mid-May, a piece of news that was enough to change the current situation in Hexi quickly spread in all directions.
Wei Shuo defeated tens of thousands of allied troops in the Western Regions with a few thousand iron cavalry under Gaochang City, and successfully killed Bai Zhen, the king of Qiuci.
After the good news reached Hexi, it caused an uproar from all sides.
And those with keen eyes have seen that in the next battle in Hexi, Wei Shuo has quietly led Lu Guang by half a position.
After solving his worries, Wei Shuo was able to focus all his energy on advancing eastward, and the pressure on Lü Guang increased suddenly.
At the same time, with the spread of various new policies such as the Juntian system and the three-long system, Wei Shuo's reputation for being good at governing government also spread in Hexi.
A large number of poor scholars and homeless people who could not live have migrated to Dunhuang and Jiuquan.
Wei Shuo successfully won the hearts of the Hanmen Shu people, but it also made the family hate him to the core.
Originally, the family was still competing with Lu Guang, but now they can't take care of it so much, and they have thrown themselves into Lu Guang's arms.
With the full support of the family, the originally crumbling Lu Houliang regime was quickly consolidated and stabilized.
Originally, in history, because of Lu Guang's efforts to implement the Di-based policy, the attitude of the wealthy families in Hexi towards Houliang was far less enthusiastic and loyal than that towards Qianliang.
In the end of Lü Guang's life, the Hexi clan has been actively participating in the rebellion, trying to overthrow the rule of the Later Liang Kingdom.
And all this has changed drastically because of Wei Shuo.
……
"What? The Hexi family wants to reconcile with someone? Lu Guang looked at Yang Ying with a shocked face.
"That's right, the Hao clan led by Yin, Wang, Yin, and Suo formally proposed reconciliation to the king through their ministers to jointly deal with Wei Shuo."
After listening to Yang Han's explanation, Lu Guang was relieved, and couldn't help sneering: "Hmph! The reconciliation is fake, but is it true to deal with Wei Shuo? ”
Yang Ying didn't see it that way, he stepped forward and persuaded Lu Guang in a sincere tone.
"King, now that the east and west of Hexi are standing side by side, neither of them can take the other side for the time being."
"But both sides are actually very clear that there will be a big war between the east and the west in the future to compete for the position of hexi hegemon."
"Now Wei Shuo is hiding in the west to do some new policy, it seems that he is going to do a big job, and there will be results in a few years, how can the king deal with it at that time?"
Hearing this, Lu Guang was suddenly silent, he had also learned about the new policy in Hexi, and knew that it was not as useless as the family's smear.
If you really want to wait for Wei Shuo to finish recuperation, then the Lu family may have only one way to perish.
"Aiqing's meaning, is it to rely on the family? But ......" Lu Guang wanted to speak and stopped.
Yang Ying knew what Lu Guang was worried about, so she said confidently: "The minister knows the worries in the king's heart, but this time and that time are also."
"At the beginning, the Hexi family dared to betray Liang Xi, it was because the family knew that Liang Xi was definitely not the opponent of the king."
"What's more, the king's entry into Hexi is the same as Liang Xi, and it is impossible to harm the interests of the family."
"But this is different from Wei Shuo, the Hexi family regards its new policy as a beast, for fear that Wei Shuo will implement it to the entire Hexi in the future."
"Therefore, as long as the king plays the banner of anti-defense, he does not worry that the family will not fall under the king's command, and he is not worried about their betrayal."
"With the help of the family, the losses suffered by the king due to the suppression of the rebellion will be replenished in a short period of time, and even his strength will increase."
"As long as the vitality is restored, the king can move westward and uproot the troubles of his henchmen to get rid of future troubles."
"Well, that's true! Such...... Please tell the head of the house that the widow will hold a banquet in the house tonight to entertain everyone. ”
"The king is wise!" After speaking, Yang Ying turned around and left.
Looking at Yang Ying's excited back, Lu Guang was thoughtful, before under his command, his bureaucrats were roughly divided into two categories: Han people and Hu people.
The former was headed by the Hongnong Yang clan, and most of them were the children of the Guanlong clan who accompanied the expedition to the Western Expeditionary Army.
The latter are mainly Lu Shuihu, Qiang, Xianbei, Shi and other four Yi heroes, which were all promoted by Lu Guang after he became the ruler of Hexi.
There is only a lack of Yin, Du, Wang, Yin, Song, Suo, Guo and other children of the Hexi Hao clan.
Originally, he thought that he would not be supported by the Hexi family in this life, but he didn't expect Wei Shuo to contribute to the transformation of the Hexi family, which can be regarded as a blessing for Sai Weng.
