When it came to disarmament, as the prime minister, Di Qing felt the need to speak, and muttered: "Is it too hasty to lay off 200,000 people at once, and what if it affects the morale of the army?" Besides, if so many brothers have no source of livelihood, will there be chaos? I thought I should think twice. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Han Qi looked ahead, he didn't look at Di Qing at all, a thief with an army, and also worthy of participating in the pre-imperial meeting, sitting and talking with himself, it was a big joke in the world!

"Di Hanchen, you have also been in the army for a long time, and there are countless kinds of shortcomings, and I think you also know it in your heart. The northwest plus the east-west road of Hebei, the forbidden army, there are millions of dollars, how many vacancies? The old man said that you are welcome, Sancheng is conservative! ”

Zhao Zhen was taken aback, "Han Xianggong, is there really so much?" ”

Han Qi nodded, "Your Majesty, the ministers have seen too much in the local area over the years, and the generals who lead the troops are insatiable, drinking the blood of the soldiers and eating empty salaries, to the point of being unbelievable, and in some places there are only thirty percent of the actual personnel, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled. A battalion of 500 people, less than 100 soldiers can be pulled out to fight, so how can we talk about defending the homeland and defending the country? The imperial court spends seventy percent of its annual expenses to supply the soldiers, but the result is unbearable for a war, a thousand miles of collapse, and the Lingnan rebellion can be seen. Han Qi looked forward to himself, and his voice was very loud, constantly echoing in the main hall.

"Instead of wasting state funds and people's money, it is better to simply lay them off. 200,000 people sounds like a lot, but in fact it is only half of the empty salaries of the various armies. According to the minister's estimates, the reduction of 200,000 people can save the imperial court at least 7 million yuan in military salaries, which is almost enough to make up for last year's deficit. ”

"When the minister made this suggestion, he was already prepared for what Qianfu pointed out, and if those rats who were greedy for money and food and corrupted military discipline were not eliminated, what was the reason of heaven? The minister put forward this proposal, not afraid of life and death, not afraid of the sword, willing to personally preside over the disarmament, if it fails, His Majesty can only dismiss the minister's official position! No other words! ”

Han Qi's words, a lot of darkness among the generals was lifted out, and it was clearly placed in front of Zhao Zhen, His Majesty the Emperor's face was very ugly, he looked at Di Qing, and asked, "Di Xianggong, is the situation really as Han Xianggong said?" ”

Di Qing's heart moved, he could see that Han Qi was far from being as impassioned and bright as he said, but he Di Qing was deeply favored by the emperor, how could he lie.

"Back to Your Majesty, what Han Xianggong said is true, but not all the army is like this, some are much better, and some are far inferior......" Di Qing, as a martial artist, was also ashamed of his peers, and couldn't help but bow his head.

Han Qi laughed loudly and praised: "Han Chen, this is what a country's prime minister looks like, you can't just think about your brothers, your robes, and ignore the country's major affairs. If the old man wants to succeed in disarmament, he can't help Hanchen, you must help him! ”

Di Qing's face was flushed, and Nuno agreed.

It's ridiculous to say that Di Qing, as the prime minister, is far above Han Qi, and he was taught a lesson by this Han Xianggong like a primary school student, which is too ironic!

Of course, it's no wonder Di Qing, when he joined the army, Han Qi fought against Yuan Hao in the northwest, Di Qing was Han Qi's subordinate, the rules of the army, as a subordinate, how dare he argue with the old commander?

Moreover, what Han Qi said is a positive theory that everyone knows, in the past, the big guys didn't dare to put it on the table because of various unsightly reasons, Han Qi said it all, and also came up with a way to disarm 200,000, Dongfu will not object, Di Qing was settled, Zhao Zhen intended to cheer up, make a difference, and he was happy to see it.

In this way, doesn't it mean that Han Qi's proposition will be successfully passed?

Wang Ningan sat in his position, his eyes kept rolling, and he finally heard Han Qi's last sentence from this person's true intentions.

He asked Di Qing to assist in disarmament, and the privy envoy was in charge of the army, which was the proper intention. But the problem is that if Di Qing assists him, the credit belongs to Han Qi, and if Di Qing protects his subordinate brothers, the blame is Di Qing's.

And Wang Ningan dared to say that Han Qi didn't want to be really disarmed at all, he just used this to get rid of the unfavorable situation of civilian officials, and when the disarmament began, he would find a charge and push it on Di Qing, let him bear the responsibility for the disarmament, it was best to drive Di Qing out of Xifu, and the position of the privy envoy was him Han Qi!

Seeing this, Wang Ningan completely understood, no wonder the military generals couldn't fight the civil officials, and on the political issues, they were completely led by others, and casually, they fell into other people's routines, and if they could win, they would be ghosts!

Frankly speaking, if Han Qi really wanted to disarm, Wang Ningan would also support it, but in the current situation, Zhao Zhen had just suppressed the civil officials, promoted Di Qing to the position of privy envoy, and added the Royal Bank, and the civil official group had been completely angered.

If Han Qi is allowed to lead the disarmament at this time, it will not be a check on empty salaries at all, nor will it be a layoff of the old and weak, but a complete elimination of the martial arts! Fu Bi can't do this kind of thing, but Han Qi has no obstacle at all!

Wang Ning'an frowned, he knew that if he rashly opposed disarmament, he would definitely be blown into slag, and even left the impression of ignoring the overall situation in Zhao Zhen, since Han Qi wanted to play disarmament, he might as well play with him, but he was playing fake, and he was playing real!

Thinking of this, Wang Ningan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Han Xianggong has made a lot of high-minded talks, to the point, worried about the country and the people, and is not afraid of difficulties, which can be called an example for courtiers." The Royal Bank is ready to assist and contribute money to the disarmament project. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Wang Qing, what are you going to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, Han Xianggong wants to disarm 200,000 people, even if the empty salary is deducted, tens of thousands of old and weak people will be laid off, how should these people settle? Is it just a dismissal? Obviously, no, these people have lost their source of livelihood, and they have been in the army for a long time, and their style of work is fierce, and after returning home, they will inevitably make trouble, and even fall into the grass, so they have to guard against it. ”

Wang Ningan bared his teeth at Han Qi and said with a smile: "Han Xianggong, a good person will do it to the end and send the Buddha to heaven." If you only save millions of dollars, and then start a bunch of rebellions, it will not be worth the loss. I think we need to give the laid-off brothers a place to go, I don't know what Han Xianggong thinks? ”

Han Qi frowned, "Lord Wang, disarmament is to save military spending, according to what you said, wouldn't the imperial court still have to carry a burden, what is the difference between cutting like that and not cutting it?" ”

"No!" Wang Ningan said with a smile: "If Han Xianggong understands disarmament only as subtracting some posts and saving some military spending, it will be too shallow!" ”

Han Qi's face sank instantly, "Wang Ning'an, you have only been in the company for a few years, and it is Your Majesty's super promotion that has made you where you are today!" Above the Golden Palace, in front of Your Majesty, you are so rampant, there is no courtesy! ”

Ouyang Xiu didn't want to listen to it, and replied: "Han Xianggong, Lord Wang said that you were shallow, and he didn't say Your Majesty!" Besides, the Imperial Council, sit down and discuss, of course Lord Wang has the right to speak, why can't he blame you? ”

Han Qi sneered, "Okay, that old man wants to listen, what can he say!" ”

Wang Ningan didn't talk nonsense with Han Qi, but said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, the disadvantages of redundant troops in our dynasty have been accumulated over the years, not a day's cold. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu Gao was in the famine year, recruiting young and strong to serve in the army, one to prevent the people from revolting, and the other to give the people a way to live. ”

Wang Ningan first gave Zhao Da a high hat, and then changed the conversation, "In recent decades, the number of Xiang troops has increased repeatedly, occupying the expenses of the imperial court, and gradually becoming a disadvantage. ”

Mentioning the ancestral system, Han Qi couldn't help but say angrily: "Lord Wang, are you still trying to overthrow the ancestral system?" You're too arrogant! ”

"Han Xianggong is a little restless, if you don't study it carefully, it will be the true meaning of ignoring the ancestral system!" Wang Ningan said loudly: "Taizu recruited the Xiang army on a large scale back then, first of all, to provide disaster relief and prevent civil uprisings, not to increase military strength, and it was the forbidden army that really fought. If the army can't fight because of the erosion, then it is obviously very unfair to question all the soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty! The Xiang army was not originally used for war. ”

"What's that for?" Han Qi asked loudly.

"Repair the river, repair the city, patrol the road, Haiyan river pond...... To put it mildly, Xiang Jun is my servant Ding Minfu of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Ningan said: "Rash disarmament, military expenses are saved, but what about the river workers, who will repair the city wall, and who will transport the grain...... Therefore, the minister seriously questioned that Han Xianggong's so-called ability to save 7 million yuan for the imperial court is simply a deception! I would like to ask Han Xianggong, have you made calculations, after the disarmament, how many more river workers will be added, how many more people will be recruited, how much will the common people have to pay for this, and how many soldiers will be laid off, and how much instability will be added to the local instability...... If Han Sang-gong failed to figure these things out, how could he be easily disarmed? In the unlikely event that the cost of these exceeds 7 million yuan, disarmament will not only not bring benefits, but also increase the burden, is this the result that Han Sang-gong wants? ”

Wang Ning'an lived in the era, is to pay attention to systematic thinking, pay attention to overall consideration, comprehensive consideration of problems, in comparison, the ancients prefer linear thinking, a lot of things are single, in the time of governance, headache doctor head and foot pain to heal the feet, whether it is the Qingli New Deal, or the later reversal of the law, from their measures, you can see the traces of fragmented thinking. Moreover, it is precisely because of the defects of thinking that the reform has failed......

Wang Ningan stood on the shoulders of countless sages, scolding Han Xianggong, it was really a bit of a big bully, yes, he was a thousand years older than Han Xianggong!!

"Your Majesty, Taizu's true meaning is to find a way for the people to live and find a livelihood. Now there are too many Xiang troops, the court can't afford it, if you want to disarm, you must first think about how to settle the soldiers, if you cut it and ignore it, it will inevitably shake the morale of the people, hurt Your Majesty's mercy, and the court is very likely to hurt others and not benefit yourself, and the minister implores Your Majesty to make a holy ruling! ”

After Wang Ningan finished speaking, Han Qi glared angrily, and was about to speak to refute it, but for a while, he couldn't think of a better reason. At this time, Zhao Zhen suddenly spoke.

"Han Xianggong's courage is commendable, Wang Qing is thoughtful, I will give you each three days to come up with a set of disarmament strategies, I will wait." After speaking, Zhao Zhen got up and left, and above the main hall, Han Qi's face turned purple, he had been brewing a blow for a long time, and if he wanted to win a good start, he actually made Wang Ningan stir up! His anger can be imagined, he almost swallowed Wang Ningan alive!
