Chapter 488: What to Do

Jia Rudao naturally knew what Jian Fangda and the others were worried about.

In fact, at the age of Jane Fonda and others, there is not much hope in their hearts.

People who are really capable and have a background will either enter the border army and become a general on the side of the army, or enter the forbidden army as a general, instead of fighting in the box army. Most of the generals in the Xiang Army can only die in the Xiang Army for the rest of their lives. It can be said that Jian Fangda and others have reached the top in this life.

Martial arts is not as good as literature, it is a common practice in the Great Song Dynasty, even at this time, although it has changed slightly, but it is also among the border army and the forbidden army, the Xiang army? What is the Xiang Army?

It is precisely because Jian Fangda and the others know that they may only be able to die in the position of the commander of the Xiang army in this life, and there will be no changes, so all they want now is to be able to make more money and enjoy more.

If it weren't for the right to command the troops, Jian Fangda and the others would definitely agree without saying a word. But Jia Yidao has already said that the only role of the regimental training envoy yamen is to recruit soldiers, and there will be nothing else. This also means that once Jian Fangda and others do the regimental training envoys, they will forever lose the salary of more than 100,000 people in their hands.

That's a lot of money to make a lot of people drool.

Of course, Jian Fangda and the others also know that now the initiative is in the hands of Jia Nidao, if Jia Nidao must be tough on letting them be the team training envoys, they will definitely not be able to twist their arms and thighs. Fortunately, at least for now, Jia Rudao doesn't want to use force, isn't this still discussing?

However, the most important thing is that Jian Fangda and others think that the weight of the Wupin regimental training is not heavy enough, and it is definitely not as heavy as the salary of more than 100,000 people.

Since the imperial court wants Jia Nidao to train troops in Guangzhou, or Jia Nidao does not want to fight the idea of the Xiang army, since they have already set their sights on the Xiang army, if they want to rely on the name of that army and the Xiang army to eat empty salaries, it is obviously impossible. Although Jia Rudao doesn't seem to have the intention of turning over old accounts at present, who knows if it will be in the future?

If it's an old account, none of the people has a clean butt, as long as someone wants to check it, it's a check. Let's just say Shi Chun, he has 3,000 foot soldiers in his hands. But Shi Chun's subordinates are more than 3,000 foot soldiers?

There are 14 state capitals on Guangnan East Road, and each state capital is a single army, with 2,500 people, and a total of 7,500 people. In the fourteen state capitals, there should be 100,000 and 500 people in the box army, and 35,000 people in each of the horse and foot water army. Guangnan West Road has 22 state capitals, the Xiang army should have 165,000 people, and the Ma Bu water army should have 55,000 people each.

But Kan Shi Chun, in addition to the 3,000 foot soldiers in the camp of this infantry army, how many soldiers are there in the various state capitals of Guangnan East Road? How many can it add up? The salary of more than 100,000 people is enough for everyone on the two roads to eat with a fat belly and a round waist.

If you count the township soldiers who are also under the Yamen of the various commanders, the number is much larger. Although the Xiang army is positioned not to participate in the war, it is naturally inferior to the forbidden army and the border army in terms of salary. But where are the numbers there? As for the township soldiers, although they have existed in name only, they also have some oil and water.

In a word, none of the officials on the east and west roads of Quang Nam are clean on the issue of the Xiang Army, and if the scope is expanded, from the top to the bottom line, all the way to the Privy Council of the Ministry of War and even the Ministry of Households, I don't know how many people are eating this silver.

It is impossible to say that among the offerings of those subordinates that Shi Songzhi receives every year, there is such silver in it.

After all, such a thing, in today's Great Song Dynasty, various roads are not uncommon, and it can even be said that everyone knows about it.

Although these are the realities of all walks of life, after all, it is something that cannot be put on the table, and I am afraid that someone will be more serious. As long as someone is more serious, the Great Song Dynasty is now in this nearly twenty roads, where is not a large area? Jia Yidao wants to take them down is not a matter of words?

"There are some things, in fact, the official doesn't want to do too ugly, let alone too desperate. In today's world, it is not easy for the emperor, the court, the people, officials, and generals. The generals have been in the Shuai Division for many years, and now the statistics of the three Ya of the two Xiang Army, the Ma Bu Shui Army, and the two Xiang Army are less than one-third of the due number, but the imperial court, the household department, and the various Cao Divisions are paid in real numbers every year, and the reasons for each are actually understood by the generals and the officials.

Silver is a good thing, for you, silver can buy officials, you can enjoy fun, you can buy more mansions, you can buy more fields and properties, you can also take a few more concubines, and you can have more heirs to spread the branches and leaves for the family; For the court and even for the emperor, silver is also a thing.

Silver is needed for the training of soldiers, silver is needed for the purchase of ordnance, grain and grass, silver is needed for the worship of officials, and silver is also needed for the emperor to repair some palace buildings, and silver is needed everywhere; For ordinary people, eating and drinking, using firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea all need silver, and no one will dislike silver.

Silver is indeed a good thing, and everyone knows that silver is something outside the body after all, and it cannot be brought in life, nor can it be taken away when it is dead, but why do some people say that people die for money?

If you change the time, this official may turn a blind eye to some things, after all, this official is not a saint, and some things in the past have also made this official more or less able to understand the state of mind of the generals. But now is not the time of the past. The war between Sichuan and Huainan was in full swing, and the battle of national fortune between Song and Mongolia did not know when it would begin.

Mongolia can be defeated, but my Great Song Dynasty cannot be defeated, and if it is defeated, it will destroy the country. If my Great Song Dynasty dies, no matter how much silver you have, unless you are willing to be a slave for the Mongols, the silver will only be food for the Mongols. My big Song Sheng can keep a moment of peace, if you want to be peaceful in the long run, Song and Meng will have one side of the country.

For my great Song Dynasty, the emperor needs a stable Lingnan to be able to share the emperor's worries and blood transfusions, which is also the reason why the official fell to Guangzhou, if it is for the official himself, since the official is willing to come to Guangzhou, he needs Lingnan as a step to advance, so there are some things, even if he doesn't want to do it, he has to do it.

In addition to the silver accumulated by the generals over the years, there is still a lot of surplus when it is sent out, and the official feels that there are losses and gains, and where can you see the gains if you don't lose? The regimental training envoy yamen is a place for recruiting soldiers and providing for the elderly, but why can't it be your promotion level? This official has never said that he will cut off your promotion rank.

This official is the same for all of you, and similarly, it will be the same for the officials in the Cao Division and the Constitutional Division. With that said, can you tell me what you want to do? ”
