Zhang Fang Ping knew that he was yin.

It is clear that the field is irreversible, but the people below have to force him to die, and it is clear that the moth fights the fire, but as a royal history, he can't be cowardly. Zhang Fangping was angry, he didn't know who did it, but he knew that it must be Wang Ningan's side.

Since they are all your men, the account will be on your head!

According to the usual practice, the old ministers have to go through three consolations.

Zhao Shu did the same, but in the third time, Zhang Fangping blatantly went to the book, he was leaving, but there was one thing that had to be solved!

That's the utility!

Zhang Fangping analyzed in detail the reasons for the production of utility warriors in the song, and he believed that at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it was faced with a powerful threat from the north and lost the first-line protection of the Great Wall, so it was necessary to have a large number of soldiers to act as a barrier.

If you raise too many soldiers, you will not be able to train elite soldiers, so you have to rely on the power of local heroes, especially those in Hebei.

They were allowed to recruit utility soldiers, and the imperial court also provided convenience and gave weapons subsidies, so utility soldiers were counted as elite soldiers raised by the imperial court and Haoqiang!

In previous battles, utility soldiers have made a lot of meritorious contributions, which can be called a sharp sword in the hands of the imperial court!

But...... The Great Song Dynasty had already restored Youzhou, seized Hengshan from the Western Xia, and opened up the Western Regions, and the strength and weakness had been reversed. The Great Song Dynasty can defend the city by the mountains, and there is no need to raise too many people and horses like before.

The abolition of the Hebei Army is a clear proof of this!

Now that the offensive and defensive dynamics have changed, the basis for the existence of utility is gone.

The imperial court allowed the local government to raise utility soldiers, which would actually form a large and small soil emperor, which seriously threatened the safety of the imperial court...... Zhang Fangping suggested that all effective users must be abolished immediately, and a decree should be issued that from now on, no effective personnel should be allowed to exist.

Zhang Fangping's note did not mention Wang Ningan's name, but everyone knows that the most and strongest utility people in the world are in the Wang family!

Aren't you, Wang Ningan, a calculating old man?

Before the old man left, he also bit you hard!

Zhang Fangping is not afraid of Wang Ning'an, he has always been honest and honest, and there is no problem with his family, otherwise he will not be able to sit firmly in the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history.

Since I am upright and have no handle, I am not afraid of you King Xiliang!

He wrote to the question of utility, and after that, dozens of people wrote to him, all of whom criticized utility.

They believed that the imperial court had sufficient financial resources and a strong army, so there was no need to be afraid of barbarians, and that retaining utility soldiers at this time would only encourage local powerful forces, so that they could do whatever they wanted without the imperial court.

……

"These little bunnies, what else can they do besides causing trouble for me!"

Wang Ningan was so angry that he slapped the table, with his prestige and status, no one would dare to mess with him in normal times, but the problem is that if he deposed all the old ministers in one go, there must be people who are unhappy, this is taking the opportunity to cause trouble for him!

Aren't you Wang Ningan going to reform, then start from your own home first! Let's see if you Wang Ning'an have the courage! If you don't have the courage to slash yourself, then don't touch our land.

Speaking of which, Zhang Fangping grasped this handle, which is really powerful.

In any case, raising utility soldiers and having their own samurai regiment are potential threats and ill-intentioned in the eyes of the emperor.

The core thing of a country is military power, and no emperor is willing to divide it.

In the last few years, Uncle Zhao continued to strengthen the forbidden army, because he saw the danger of warlordization in the locality, so he pushed the strong and weak branches to prevent unpredictable situations.

Even if Zhao Shu and Wang Ning'an have a good relationship between master and apprentice, the little guy will not think that Wang Ning'an wants to rebel, but this problem of utility is not good to say.

"What do you think?" Wang Ningan asked casually.

Dogtooth scratched her head, "If you want to talk to Your Majesty, it should be treated as if there is no such thing?" Your Majesty won't mind anyway. ”

"But I don't mind!" Wang Ning'an's voice was low, "If you only reform others, but don't dare to reform yourself, can your father's great cause of changing the law continue?" ”

Gouya'er was speechless when asked, he scratched his head, "Dad, even if you really want to remove, it's not so easy." ”

"Tell me, what's so difficult!"

Wang Ningan didn't care about the affairs of the family for a long time, and the utility of the Wang family was the responsibility of his father, and as for the military salary, it was from the industry in the hands of the old lady.

Because Gouya'er has to go to see his grandparents every year and stay with them for a while, he knows the situation very well.

The utility soldiers of the Wang family, the core of the army, are about 60,000 people, these people are scattered along the Great Wall, and they are the main force to counterattack the Liao soldiers.

The most common thing they did was to run to the grasslands, burn the dead grass, loot cattle and sheep, attack the tribal quarters, and drive them as far away as possible.

Because it is well equipped, well-trained, and has a strong intelligence system.

Most of the utility's attacks were successful, and the cattle and sheep they stole were theirs, and they could be exchanged for bounties after cutting off their heads, and many young people were keen to become utilitarians. In addition to the core of the people, there are also a group of reserve utility soldiers, as well as some old and temporarily retired utility soldiers, there are more than 80,000 people in total, that is to say, in the event of a big war, the Wang family army can take out 150,000 people!

Don't be busy, if you count the young men of the bow and arrow societies in various places, as well as the militia of the Han people in Youzhou, the total number will reach 400,000!

After listening to his son's introduction, Wang Ningan's head was also sweating.

I really can't imagine that after so many years, he has accumulated such power, and fortunately, the old Zhao family has a big heart, if he were the emperor himself, he would have been unable to sleep and eat for a long time!

Dogtooth doesn't see it that way, the old Zhao family is not big-hearted, but there is no way, the tail is too big to fall, and it is not only the Wang family that raises utility people, but also two very big families!

In Fuzhou last year, there were 22,000 people, and as for the farmers, they exceeded 50,000!

The strength of these three families is two or three hundred thousand, and they are all tiger and wolf soldiers, which are quite fierce, even if the imperial court wants to cut it, it has no courage.

In the past, everyone was reluctant to touch this problem, but Zhang Fangping was angry because of the dismissal, so he lifted the lid. Other officials followed up, and it was not good to deal with it!

"Dad, those big turbans are so bad...... How the hell did you defeat them before? "The circuit of the dog's head is indeed different from that of a normal person, and he still has idle gossip.

Wang Ningan rolled his eyes, "Have you ever climbed the mountain?" ”

"Crawl through!"

"What does it feel like to climb up at the foot of the mountain, and what does it feel like to reach the top? Especially those snow-capped mountains in Qingtang? When you get to the top, will you be cold, nauseous, and dizzy? Like you're going to die? ”

Gouya'er thought about it seriously, "You directly said that the high place is cold, I understand!" ”

Wang Ningan also smiled.

"I can understand it, but it's not easy to do, things in this world have always been easier said than done."

As if to prove Wang Ningan's words, Su Zhe came to visit.

Dog Ya'er hurriedly pulled the second uncle to sit down, Su Zhe looked out of breath, sweat on his forehead, and was very anxious.

"What's going on? Having trouble? ”

"Well, indeed."

Su Zhe explained the situation again, seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, the people divided the fields again, and life was a little better. Many workers in the cotton mill want to go home for reunion and have a good year.

"New Year's Day! You're welcome! Dogtooth puzzled.

"How do you know? Tianzhu's orders are urgent, and they must be shipped as soon as possible without delay...... But many weavers are thinking about coming to work after the fifteenth, and some people even say that after the second day of February, the daylily is cold, and the factory can't afford to wait! ”

This time the dog tooth is stupid.

"Uncle, can't you reason with the workers and let them bear with it?"

Su Zhe shook his head, "The truth can be explained, but it may not work." The parents, wives and children of the family are looking forward to it, and they have to worship their ancestors and worship the heavens, and eat reunion dinners, and most people are unwilling to stay! ”

Su Zhe finally discovered that after the division of the field, there were also sequelae.

At least these workers are not so hardworking and willing to work, and some people even shouted that they can't live for even a year, so they just go home and farm!

"Brother-in-law, I'll be honest with you, when the Chinese New Year comes, there will definitely be many people who will stay in the countryside. They have earned wages, they can already redeem the land, they simply live a comfortable life at home, and they will not come to work, if they don't do it, there will be a labor shortage next year! ”

Wang Ningan nodded, very emotional.

Don't really say it, ancient and modern, the labor shortage encountered in later generations, the Great Song Dynasty also came out!

If you give the people benefits and land, they will have the capital to negotiate, so it will naturally be difficult to do it...... Could it be that Wen Kuanfu is right? Should we really bankrupt the common people, force them to go into the city, and then take what they want, and squeeze them with all their might?

I can't seem to convince myself.

"Ziyou, do you know what the people think in their hearts, how to pass this pass?"

Su Zhe thought for a while, and he muttered: "Brother-in-law, there are more than one million acres of land in Yanzhou, because women are also included, on average, one person will be divided into less than one and a half acres...... Whether you grow grain or cotton, you can barely go hungry...... Who doesn't want life to get better and better, and every family has to have children and spread out their branches...... After a while, the surplus labor force from the countryside will pour into the cities, forcing them to come out to work, and there are also young people in those schools, who have studied and learned technology, and they can't go back to carrying hoes! So, after two or three years, the people will get used to it......"

"But the current problem of lack of work needs to be solved!" Wang Ningan took over the words, "Now that the factory has just been operational, I estimate that not only Yanzhou, but also Youzhou, the factories that produce steam engines, as well as coal mines and steel plants, will encounter this problem......

Su Zhe said: "Yes, it is conservatively estimated that the two places also need 100,000 workers who are completely out of work, so as not to delay things...... But the question is, where can I find these 100,000 people? ”

Su Zhe was so worried that he had forehead lines, but Wang Ningan frowned slightly, and Gouya'er laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, what's so difficult about this, Dad, don't we have more than 100,000 people in our family!" Gouya'er clapped his hands excitedly, "If Zhang Fangping knew, he would have done us a great favor, and he would have been angry!" ”
