"Grandma's, he's playing for real!"

This sentence has been read by Wen Xianggong for a morning, from the initial surprise, anger, to disappointment, and at this moment, there is still a little bit of admiration, but after the admiration, it is even more anger.

The surname Wang, you are too fucking excessive!

Zai Zhi can only work until he is 65 years old, isn't the old man completely finished?

Why did Wen Yanbo go to Kaifeng to live in a cottage, become a teacher, and grow and eat by himself...... In addition to avoiding trouble, there are still illusions, in case one day Wang Ning'an's changes can't be pushed, or the opposing forces are gathered, he can't bear it, and I Laowen will have a chance to make a comeback.

If you do this, don't you completely cut off the old man's way by taking the age card?

If you don't avenge this revenge, you swear not to be a man!

Wen Xianggong spent another afternoon, carefully thinking of ways to deal with Wang Ningan.

But after thinking about it, Wen Xianggong was helpless.

Drawing a line by age is actually a very good way.

On the other hand, the officialdom is heavy and cannot be done without vigorous energy, such as the county order, the county lieutenant, the governor of the state government, and the judge, all of whom must personally go to the townships and towns to investigate the situation, deal with various affairs, and organize construction...... If you are over 50 years old, you can't run at all, and the age limit set by Wang Ningan is very appropriate.

Especially those newcomers in the officialdom, as well as those veterans who have been working for more than 20 years, who don't want to climb up, who doesn't want to be promoted...... But there are a lot of old guys in front of me, and there is no hope at all.

Okay this time, the age limit is marked.

The 60-year-old county magistrate immediately got out, the forty-year-old official ascended to the sky in one step, and the thirty-year-old young man could also be promoted to the next level, except for the retired old man, the rest of the people were overjoyed and cheered.

With strong support, Lao Wen has no good way!

Wang Ningan, this guy is really profound!

It turned out that Wen Yanbo pondered that Wang Ning'an would be like everyone else, the longer he presided over the change, the more grudges he had, and if he mixed around, he would be confused with people and ghosts, and his opportunity would come.

But Wang Ningan just doesn't take the usual path, he can always get the most support, every reform is only for a few people, others are overcoming difficulties, he is pushing the boat, the difficulty is not a grade at all!

After pondering, Wen Xianggong could only reluctantly instruct his family to watch the door, no one outside would come and see him, and his old man should repair his books behind closed doors.

Wen Xianggong was silent, and the other one didn't dare to publicize it, and Sima Guang also cultivated books honestly, but not long after, a voice appeared, and someone put forward a strong opinion.

The civil officials have set an age limit, so don't the generals use it?

The civil officials are seventy or eighty, and they can't do it, but what about the military generals? Don't you need to reform?

After discovering this point, the Kaifeng press continued to report as if they were crazy, and those old bureaucrats who were Zhishi also fanned the flames and made a lot of trouble.

Why give preferential treatment to Takefu?

Why do you regard civil servants as fish and meat?

The surname Wang is not selfless at all, but biased towards martial artists...... All in all, we are not convinced!

……

"If they don't accept it, Lao Tzu will beat them until they are convinced!"

Murong Qingchen angrily found Wang Ning'an.

"Lord Wang, we have been born and died over the years, expanded the territory, and made so many contributions, why should we retire? We are not the same as the civil servants! ”

He was indignant and furious.

Wang Ningan was very indifferent, "Murong, what is the situation in the army, does it need to be drawn by age?" ”

"This ......" Murong Qingchen stammered.

"Lord Wang, you don't really want to draw a line for the martial artists, do you?"

Wang Ning'an sank his face, "Murong, you are a calm general on the battlefield, if you have emotions and likes and dislikes, can you command well?" I now ask you to look at it with a calm mind, is there a need for metabolism in the army? ”

"This ...... Absolutely! Sweat broke out on Murong's forehead.

Wang Ning'an once made a rule that some old and frail soldiers, or soldiers who were wounded in the war, needed to leave the army, and the imperial court should compensate and settle down.

However, these provisions are temporary and do not apply universally.

Moreover, the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty became more and more advanced, the number of troops lost in battle became less and less, and the territory under its control became larger and larger...... Naturally, the number of troops swelled rapidly, and there were not a few of them old and incompetent generals.

Some people are already sixty or seventy years old, and they are reluctant to return to the fields, so they are placed in the second and third lines, responsible for guarding the place...... When they are old, they are unable to train the army and strengthen their combat readiness, and to put it bluntly, they are just waiting for death in their old age.

There are many of these situations.

Murong didn't dare to deny it, but he always felt that Wufu had made meritorious contributions, but he was different from others. You can get rid of civil officials, but you must not use martial arts!

"Lord Wang......" What else did he want to say, Wang Ningan suddenly waved his hand and stopped him, "Murong, as a soldier, among the things considered, the first thing to consider is to win the battle...... If you want to win a war, you must have strong combat effectiveness, a strong army, and everything that is useful to improve combat effectiveness must be done; All malpractices that are not conducive to the enhancement of combat effectiveness must be eliminated...... You don't think that the Great Song army is invincible in the world, you can sit back and relax, lie down and enjoy it...... With such a large territory and all kinds of rebellions, you ask yourself, can you meet the mission on your shoulders? ”

After teaching a few words, Wang Ningan did not hesitate, and directly asked Murong to go back and think about it...... In five days, before Murong could figure it out, shocking news came out one after another.

First of all, Father Wang resigned from the post of lieutenant on the grounds of old age, and then Di Qing also wrote to resign, on the same grounds that he was old and sick...... If it were the two of them, forget it, and then, Yang Wenguang also went to the book, and Yang Huaiyu, three kinds, and several veterans from the Wang Jiajun also went to the book one after another, and all of them resigned!

A total of more than 20 high-ranking generals took the initiative to submit a letter requesting their resignation.

This shock bomb is far more powerful than cleaning up officialdom!

Even people who were numb by the shock were terrified at the moment.

Back then, Zhao Kuangyin only managed to release his military power with a glass of wine.

Moreover, the generals have not been completely deprived of their military power, and their influence in the army is still huge...... It also formed a century-long Jiangmen force.

This time, Wang Ningan easily let many generals give up their military power, and it was not until this moment that people realized that the power of King Qin was so strong...... Perhaps, maybe even Zhao Da can't compare!

Of course, Zhao Da is facing the chaos since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the situation is far more complicated than now, and the warriors are more fierce and powerful, but people don't care about this, they only know that Zhao Da can't do it, Wang Ningan succeeded!

That's prestige!

Drawing a line according to age is not only applicable to civilian officials, but also to military generals.

And because of the special nature of the warriors, their regulations are stricter.

For example, the upper age limit for front-line soldiers is 30 years old, and the garrison soldiers can be relaxed to 33 years old.

The junior officer is 40 years old, the middle officer is 45 years old, the senior officer is 50 years old, the military department, the Privy Council, the general staff, the deputy is 55 years old, and the main post is 60 years old, and the title can be relaxed to 65 years old.

But no matter how you measure it, Di Qing, an old soldier, must retreat.

As a veteran who has fought all his life, Di Qing has no regrets, on the contrary, he is very happy, and he deliberately sets up wine and chats with his old subordinates in the capital.

"The servant started with the army, and in the past few decades, he has become the prime minister, looking back, it is like a big dream!" Di Qing paused and said: "When the country was founded in the past dynasties, there were many famous generals, unparalleled combat power, sweeping the world, and no one could stop it. When the world is peaceful and the generals wither, the military strength will decline, and it will be difficult to resist foreign attacks, and the shame of the abyss will be like this! ”

"There are many reasons, but I can't help but say that we martial artists are not competitive...... The old are reluctant to retire, and the young people are not experienced enough to take on heavy responsibilities...... How can ordinary soldiers, when they are forty or fifty years old, still rushing to kill in front of the battle, better than the young? ”

The more Di Qing spoke, the more excited he became, "King Qin's rules are for the good of our martial artists, I know that the big guy is a little unconvinced...... But I tell you, whoever dares not listen, I, Di Qing, will not be able to spare him! ”

As the god of war of the Great Song Dynasty, Di Qing's statement is absolutely shocking.

Even if there are still people who are not convinced, Di Qing leads by example, what do you have to say?

What's more, King Qin's father-in-law, father-in-law, and eldest brother all retreated and took the lead in setting an example, who would dare not listen? These martial artists also resigned themselves to their fate, but there were still a few who were lying on the table and crying profusely.

They have been in the army since they were teenagers, they have been fighting, they can't do anything when they leave the barracks, they have no other ability than to kill people, and letting them leave the barracks is tantamount to driving them out of their homes, and their mentality has collapsed all of a sudden, and they can't count the future, what plans.

"Di Shuai, you said that we don't know anything, what else can we do except eat and wait for death? Can't the prince open the net and give us a way to live? ”

These people begged fiercely, Di Qing's face was gloomy, "There are useless things, there are hands and feet, don't you know what to do if you pick off this skin?" ”

Di Qing scolded on his lips, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

At this time, Wang Shao suddenly stood up, "Di Xianggong, there is still a military quota in the parliamentary council at the moment, and King Qin means that he doesn't want to use active soldiers as the secretary of parliament, but there is no problem with those who are retired...... In addition, all military academies and academies also have to recruit instructors, and if the military is interested, they can strive for the number of instructors, and this is also the benefit that the military department can win for everyone...... But please rest assured, after you leave the army, the military salary will be paid, and some employment and entrepreneurship support will be provided, and the local yamen will set aside some places, and a start-up fund will be set up, all in all, it will not make everyone's life difficult......"

After listening to Wang Shao's explanation, the group of people fell into deep thought, but Di Qing slapped the table.

"Did you hear that? King Qin cares about you, don't be indistinguishable from good and bad, be honest, obey the arrangement! ”

Between the light clouds and the light wind, the civil officials and military generals were all leveled, and Wang Ningan's strength shocked the entire officialdom...... "Master is the master!" ”

Sima Guang looked at the moon and sighed, falling into deep thought...... He found out that the teacher was doing something very terrible, and that was to give life to the entire bureaucracy...... You must know that the bureaucracy usually has only two situations, one is dependent on the imperial power, the other is dependent on the golden power, and of course, there are also chaotic situations, in short, they are all dependent.

But Wang Ningan's approach has enabled the entire bureaucratic system to self-metabolize and self-renew and repair...... How can a financial group say yes? Sima Guang seemed to have seen a big battle, and it was already imminent.
