The first batch of veterans has been handed over to Wen Yanbo, and the other trading center, within three months, has collected 200,000 yuan in taxes, Wang Ningan left half of the soldiers, and the other half sent people to the capital, transferred to the household department, to pay for the fallen soldiers.

Don't look at only 100,000 yuan, it seems like a drop in the bucket, but after the opening of the Silk Road, tax revenue is a stable source, and it will be more and more.

To pay for the families of the fallen soldiers, it is not possible to give all the money at once, but to divide it into several years, step by step, to ensure a stable supply at home, this is the right thing to do.

And in addition to taking money, Wang Ningan has planned 1 million acres of grassland, and all the families of fallen soldiers, if they can't survive, can go to Lanzhou, get 500 acres of pasture, and start a new life.

Wounded veterans can also be resettled on the spot, and according to the size of the merit, they can be divided up to 5,000 acres.

In addition, Wang Ningan is still actively enclosing land, preparing to expropriate all the land north of Hengshan and the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and then distribute it to meritorious soldiers.

Although these lands fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty in principle, the real control of the land was still carried out by some local tribes, including the Dangxiang people, the Qiang people, and the Tubo people.

Requisitioning land from them is by no means a simple matter, and if you don't kill a river of blood, you don't even think about it!

Many people are dissatisfied with Wang Ning'an's approach, and they have already gotten the land in their hands, so why bother to toss again, make no one at peace, and compensate the fallen soldiers, you can find another way, and you can't mess around.

People who hold this view are typical scholars, but these scholars can influence the imperial court, and as a result, they have wronged the warriors, chilled the hearts of the soldiers, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably decline...... Even if it is a strong Han and a prosperous Tang Dynasty, and let the literati govern, there are few big victories in the outside world.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen has been deeply influenced by Wang Ningan and sees the whole problem very clearly.

500 acres of pasture is not a lot, but it is enough for a family to live a comfortable life.

What is the purpose of being a soldier?

Isn't it just to eat the emperor's grain, to give the family a wealth and prosperity, so that future generations can live a good life!

If a soldier dies, he will receive a pension of ten or twenty times, and even if he doesn't give money, his family may not be good, and many people will touch their noses and admit it. The imperial court doesn't have to increase the burden, it looks good.

But if you do this, the consequences will be disastrous, if you don't take the soldier's life seriously, everyone will look down on the martial arts, and the army will naturally not be able to absorb good men, so you can only get a group of criminals to fill the number, and when these people enter the army, they will corrupt military discipline and corrode combat effectiveness.

The result is that there are millions of empty troops, but they have to send New Year's coins everywhere to buy peace!

Shame on you!

Another way of thinking?

Every soldier who dies can get 500 acres of grassland, and if he makes meritorious service, he can get more...... These land properties can allow the family to live a stable life, even if he dies, there is no need to worry.

In this way, every soldier will fight bravely, regardless of life and death.

Ordinary people will also regard joining the army as a way out, attracting more good families and good men to enter the army, train hard, and naturally improve their combat effectiveness.

Land requisition, generous gifts!

For the time being, there will be some troubles, which will bring a lot of controversy, and even conflicts and wars.

But in the long run, it is very beneficial to the Great Song.

Not only Wang Ning'an, but even Zhao Shu wrote clearly what he observed and thought in his notes to his father.

The murmur of the DPRK and China cannot interfere with the general affairs of the northwest.

Wang Ning'an let go of it, according to this calculation, wait until next year, take Liangzhou down, and the pasture in his hand will be enough to distribute to all the fallen soldiers.

In other words, the heavy burden of the first battle of Yokoyama was finally able to be unloaded.

The remaining thousands of miles of land, even if they are obtained for nothing!

This kind of war is only worth fighting!

……

Wang Ningan is in a very good mood, and to have such achievements is all due to the soldiers' hard work. Wang Ningan heard that there were a group of wounded veterans who were already preparing to settle down in Lanzhou, and some were going to marry their daughters-in-law.

He, the king of Xiliang, naturally wanted to pull Wen Yanbo to congratulate others.

"Erlang, this is a bit too much! It's just a small soldier, can we go in person? I'm not afraid to fold his yang life! Wen Yanbo kept complaining, his son Wen Jifu had just arrived, and the two were still discussing how to make more money! He really has no interest in participating in such a mundane thing as a wedding!

Wang Ningan snorted, "Brother Kuanfu, I don't have any big reason with you, let's buy horse bones with my daughter!" Don't look at them as small people, but many times, it is the little people who make history, such as the little soldier who got married this time, his name is Ma Tao, a native of Meizhou, he was the first to rush to Hengshan and enter the castle of the Xixia people. In the next few battles, they were very brave, if it wasn't for the injury of his foot, I would have been reluctant to let him disarm and return to the field! ”

After a pause, Wang Ningan said again: "These veterans are all loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they can gain a foothold in the local area, this place will always be our Great Song Dynasty, that is, Wen Yanbo's treasure land to make money!" ”

Wang Ning'an's tone was not good, and Wen Yanbo's face darkened, "Don't think of the old man as greedy for money, the old man is also collecting money for the country, in the final analysis, you, the king of Xiliang, have also taken a big advantage, you are ungrateful......"

The two of them were arguing, and they had reached the intersection of a street, where several carriages had gathered, and it seemed that there were quite a few people. Wang Ningan pulled Wen Yanbo out of the carriage, they were dressed in civilian clothes, and few of them recognized them. simply sneaked among the crowd and entered the courtyard.

This small courtyard is full of lights, full of friends, and very lively.

At this moment, the bridegroom came in from outside, and he respectfully walked in with a man in his arms...... It's not the bride, it's Song Zhen, Song Xianggong!

Ma Tao invited Song Zhen to the main seat and sat in the middle.

On the opposite side of Song Zhen, there was a bearded, short, stout middle-aged man, who looked like a local native. This man wears gold and silver, and his hand is full of gemstone rings, from the inside out, it is a capital trench!

However, although he was dressed exaggeratedly, his eyes were fluttering and a little timid, especially in the face of the personable Song Xianggong, he was even more dwarfed, like a clown, and there was no place to put his hands and feet.

How many scenes Song Zhen has seen, he is familiar with it, and with a slight smile, it makes people feel like a spring breeze and feel comfortable. Ma Tao introduced the identity of the other party in simple language.

It turned out that this guy was the leader of a Qiang tribe who controlled more than 5,000 people, named Wei Mu Yueneng, and he could be regarded as a local hero.

In a battle, Ma Tao took the lead in entering Wei Mu Yueneng's ranch and captured many people, and Wei Mu Yue Neng was also among them. Later, because they were Qiang, they were released.

Wei Mu felt that Ma Tao was a hero, so he wanted to marry his daughter to him, Ma Tao was also a big boss, especially when he saw Wei Mu's daughter, although she was a Qiang person, she was beautiful and had a sense of ambition, which was very attractive!

Ma Tao agreed, but in the next battle, his toe was broken by a stone, and the sole of his right foot was amputated. From a good young man, to a cripple.

Ma Tao was desperate for a while, and Wei Muyue also wanted to regret the marriage, but unexpectedly, Wei Mu's daughter insisted on marrying Ma Tao.

Later, after Ma Tao recovered from his injury, he was rewarded, and he performed very well in the school, as long as he successfully passed the exam, he could become a tax official.

The Weimu tribe just needs to sell their cattle and sheep in exchange for daily necessities. At this point, it is very cost-effective to marry his daughter to Ma Tao.

Wei Mu changed his attitude suddenly, and he couldn't even wait for Ma Tao to graduate, so he was going to hold a wedding.

Ma Tao was also very embarrassed, the elders in the family were not around, and he also told Song Zhen on a whim, but he didn't expect Song Xianggong to be so generous and willing to come over to preside over the wedding, which flattered Ma Tao.

Not only him, Wei Muyue could hear that Song Zhen was once the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was crazy!

Oh my God!

Baby girl!

You've got a lot of vision!

This Ma Tao is simply a living baby!

The prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, that is a celestial figure, he can invite him, he is so face-saving!

Wei Mu didn't care about the disability on Ma Tao's feet, not to mention losing a few toes, even if he cut off half of his legs, he couldn't ask for it!

Song Zhen saw Wei Mu's thoughts at a glance, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, if you knew that the old man was guilty, I was afraid that I wouldn't be honestly afraid.

That's it!

Always let Wen Yanbo bully, come to a person who can be bullied, how can you let it go!

Song Zhen talked and laughed freely, and in the middle of the words, he unconsciously pasted several layers of gold to Ma Tao.

"This kid is bitter, he also studied in his early years, but unfortunately he couldn't continue, so he had to put pen to paper and go to the battlefield to fight. But a good man is a good man, and he has made contributions on the battlefield. King Xiliang intends to cultivate, the old man is also very optimistic about him, and manages the business tax affairs well, like his age, sooner or later there will be a day of soaring, when the time comes, I am afraid that he will be far better than the old man at this moment! ”

Song Zhen said unashamedly, and two people in the corner almost burst out laughing.

Wang Ningan pulled Lawen Yanbo and said in a low voice: "Just these few words, it's worth a three-yuan and first!?" ”

Wen Xianggong gritted his teeth and said, "I remember a famous quote you wrote in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? ”

"Which one?"

"I've never seen anyone so brazen!"

Wen Kuanfu couldn't wait to jump out and immediately expose Song Zhen's lies, it is indeed Wang Ning'an's idea to train veterans, and you are also a teacher in the academy, but Wang Ningan has never looked for you! Speaking of it in a row, it seems that Wang Ningan and you Song Xianggong value Ma Tao very much, and the weight is ten million times heavier at once!

The latter sentence is even more searching!

Outsiders sound like Ma Tao will have the opportunity to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, but only Wen Yanbo and Wang Ningan heard it.

What is Song Zhen who is far better than this moment, you are now a prisoner, do you know?

In the future, Ma Tao is now 10,000 times stronger than you!

Song Zhen didn't notice the disdain of the two people in the corner.

also continued to increase, "After starting a family, having a wife, and settling down, the court dares to use people boldly and with confidence, so that the son-in-law is not far from being promoted." ”

Wei Muyue could see through Song Zhen's routine, but felt that he had picked up a piece of treasure, and he was so happy.

This house was originally Wei Mu's house, temporarily used as a new house, and the bride was waiting in another courtyard, in fact, Wei Muyue was planning to recruit a son-in-law, but at this time his mind completely changed.

"Son-in-law, this is your home! Dad will give you all the title deeds. It's not far from the auspicious time, hurry up and welcome your relatives! ”
