Chapter 445: Liu is like this, and he is bold

Liu Ru is still a man in a single body, and she looks very handsome, she originally liked to wear men's clothes. During this time, she has been interviewing people outside to understand the situation at the grassroots level. Smart men's clothing helps to disguise her identity. Seeing Zhang Zhun coming back, Liu Ru was a little nervous, and said with some joy: "Master." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Do you have a lot of ideas?" Can't wait to talk to me? ”

Liu Ru said a little nervously: "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Give you three days to speak your mind! ”

Liu Ru was overjoyed.

Throughout the spring of Chongzhen's eighth year, Liu Ru walked around various places in Laizhou Mansion, went deep into the grassroots level of various industries, and learned a lot of real situations. These situations were turned into reports with beautiful handwriting and sent to Zhang Zhun's desk. So that no matter where Zhang Zhun is, he can understand the most real situation at the grassroots level. Judging from the reports she sent, most of them were positive. However, there are a considerable number of reports, but there are objections.

At the beginning, Liu Ru was still relatively vague, a little worried about causing Zhang Zhun's unhappiness, but later found that Zhang Zhun was not unhappy, and according to some of the circumstances, the policy was slightly adjusted, she felt that Zhang Zhun was supporting her work, and the later report was more straightforward. If there is anything bad, point it out directly. Now, it has developed to the point of talking to Zhang Zhun face-to-face.

Well, that's Yoo's style. If you want to say that she is a little woman, it doesn't look like oh, the role of a good wife and mother is actually not suitable for her. She is weak in appearance, gentle as water, but she has her own opinions. Poetry and poetry are just a tool for her to hide her talent, and her real talent is in her view of the world.

Perhaps because he had an unpleasant experience before, Liu Ru is now much sharper when looking at people and things. Of course, we must be braver than before. Her perspective on the problem is also quite novel. I don't easily believe what other people say.

Liu Ru was a little nervous and said, "Master, the concubine has the courage to speak ......."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "How can it be so serious? Still dare to stand out? ”

Liu Ru's nervous mood slowly eased a little, and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Zhang Zhun restrained his smile and said straight to the point: "I know, you have some opinions on the hereditary military field, let's talk about this military field first." If you have any opinions and suggestions, you can say them directly, and don't ramble. ”

Liu Ru said respectfully: "Yes." ”

She said slowly: "The concubine is walking outside......"

Zhang Zhun said: "In the future, you will still call yourself me, concubine and concubine, that is the self-title of the concubine." Now, I will treat you as my military advisor, and our status is completely equal. ”

Liu Ru's face was slightly red, and she couldn't help but be a little excited, and said respectfully: "Yes, master." I walked outside and saw some bad phenomena, mainly related to Juntian. Military land can be hereditary, and some people try to occupy the best land. In order to achieve their ends, they resort to all kinds of unconventional means. Even, if the original people were unwilling to give, they did not hesitate to use violence and intimidation. Or pretend to be someone's relatives and take it by force. ”

"The master will definitely not know these things, and Liu Hang and they will not know either. Liu Hang: They are officials, and they can't get in touch with the real people. The people who do the work below are all officials, and only these officials have contact with the people. No matter what kind of policy the lord has, if it is really implemented, it is these officials who will handle it in the end. Therefore, it is very important whether the moral character of these officials is good or bad, and whether they are disciplined or not. ”

"As I walked down there, I got to know a lot of clerks who had a lot of opportunities to do things in the dark. For example, if they get benefits, or if they are related to someone, how partial they will be when it comes to the specific distribution of military fields. If the relationship is good, it will be better. If the relationship is bad, it will be a little worse. Those who had families serving as soldiers often bribed these officials in order to get the best land. ”

"Master, you know, the military field is above the people's land. The "Junda Order" was to be implemented before the "Junda Order". If that piece of land is fancied, it will be replaced according to the relevant provisions of the "Military Land Order". That is to say, as long as you are in the name of military fields, you can seize the best good fields. If the other party does not give it, it is a violation of the "Military Field Order". ”

"In Aoshanwei, I witnessed something with my own eyes. There is a family surnamed Lin, he has a son who is a soldier in the Chuangzi battalion, and he has a good piece of land surnamed Yang next to him, and wants to replace the other party's field and keep it for himself. The people of the Yang family were reluctant to give. So the people of the Lin family found officials and forcibly snatched the best field of the Yang family under the pretext of the "Juntian Order", but gave back five acres of poor land to the Yang family. ”

"After the Lin family got the five acres of land, there was nothing to do. He transferred the five acres of land to others and earned five taels of silver. Then, the officials who colluded with the officials who distributed the military land took a fancy to another family's five acres of fertile land, used the same means to grab it, and then sold it to others. I secretly investigated, and just by taking advantage of the privilege of the military field, he changed hands five times and earned more than twenty taels of silver. ”

"Master, I don't know if there are many such things, but I think that such things are ruining the honor of the Tiger Benjun and ruining your honor. "Juntian Order" is too special and gives many people room to do evil. Adults, you can trust Liu Hang and Wang Mingyu that they will not seek personal gain, but you can't guarantee that the people below will be the same. Presumably, the adults are deeply touched by the ability of officials at all levels of the court to make money. ”

"What started out as a good thing turned out to be a bad thing. The purpose of the lord's rebellion is to destroy all privileged classes. Regrettably, a new privileged class has now been created. It is easy for people with military fields to gather together and form a new class. At present, the number of the Tiger Ben Army is still small, the military field is still small, the number of people in this class is not large, and the things that have been done are not very many, and they are not serious. But what about later? ”

"In the future, the master's team has expanded, the number of military fields has increased, the number of people in this class has become larger and larger, and there are more and more things to do, so what should I do? Is it true that all the fertile land will fall into the hands of the army? When the time comes, the soldiers will have fields in their hands and knives and guns, what will you do with them? Is it to make them ambassadors of moderation? ”

Zhang Zhun's brows slowly furrowed.

Jie Du Envoy!

It's a jarring term.

For any person in a higher position, it will be very uncomfortable to hear the name of the Jiedu Envoy. If there is a force like a knotty envoy or a knotty envoy in the territory under his control, it means that the time for destruction is not long in coming. However, if his army really has fields and swords and guns, what is the difference between it and the Jiedu envoys during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period?

The disadvantages of the hereditary military field, Zhang Zhun is not completely unaware. Before Liu Ruyi, someone had already mentioned it euphemistically, but it was not as courageous and systematic as Liu Ru, and he personally went to the following to investigate, and there are real examples.

To be precise, there were many problems in the hereditary inheritance of military fields, and it was after this large-scale expansion of the army. The original number of the Tiger Army, which was only a few thousand, has now soared to more than 10,000. Due to the large number of additional soldiers, a large amount of military land was issued at the same time. In some details, of course, it is impossible to do it all.

At the same time, after the Tiger Ben Army took control of Laizhou Mansion, the personnel were also complicated. Some of the original clerks were also retained due to lack of manpower. The bad habits they brought with them, combined with the hereditary evils of the military field, are the examples mentioned by Liu Ru in everything. Although Liu's mention is just an example, Zhang Zhun believes that there will definitely be similar things in other places. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the working people, as long as there is an opportunity to obtain benefits, the working people are still very smart.

There are fields, and there are knives and guns, which can only happen to oneself. It is absolutely forbidden to happen to others, especially if it happens to one's own subordinates, it must be absolutely forbidden. In the future, if there is a possibility for his subordinates to become festival envoys, it will be even more impermissible.

It's just that at that time, he had no money and no one, and he wanted to encourage people to get up and kill his head, and only the field was the cheapest and the easiest to get. Snatching someone else's field and stimulating your own soldiers is a lucrative thing. That's why he issued the "Military Field Order". It can be said that the promulgation of this decree was entirely out of the needs of war, and did not take into account other factors.

As far as the present is concerned, the drawbacks of military hereditary lineage have not yet been fully revealed, but are only beginning to emerge. What kind of drawbacks there will be in the future, Zhang Zhun has not yet been clear, so Zhang Zhun has not yet felt a sense of urgency in improving the military field order. However, Liu Ru reminded Zhang Zhun of the example just mentioned. The thousand-mile embankment was destroyed in an anthill. "Juntian Order" was originally a good thing, but if it turned into a bad thing, it would be more than worth the loss.

It is true that most of the soldiers' families will not have too many ideas about the distribution of military fields. However, it cannot be ruled out that a small number of soldiers' families want to take advantage of the loopholes in the military fields to obtain benefits. After all, everyone is driven by profit, and if they see that a move is likely to make money, they will take risks. When this phenomenon of taking advantage of loopholes and taking risks changes from individual to universal, it cannot be reversed.

For example, the corruption of officials in the Ming Dynasty was well known, but there was no way for the imperial court to reverse it. The reason is very simple, every official is greedy, everyone around the emperor is greedy, the emperor himself is greedy, how can you reverse it?

Military fields are to be hereditary, so it is natural to seize the best fields. This is a very common idea. As for the use of military land for profit, it is a high-level exploitation of loopholes. In order to achieve this, one person cannot do it, and several people must assist. In this way, interest groups are formed. When this interest group gets bigger and bigger, if you want to deal with it in the future, it will be difficult to deal with it. If the army controls most of the country's fertile land in the future, and has land and guns in their hands, who can help them?

Zhang Zhun believes that as long as he is still there, there will definitely be no problems with the Tiger Benjun. The question is, what happens when you die? At that time, no matter what form of government the country adopts, it will probably not be easy to solve this group of people. The military is a special group, they have weapons in their hands and the biggest machines of violence in their hands.

For example, the current imperial court is also very painful about the system of guards, and feels that the system of guards is a waste of money and food, and it is useless. It's just that no one dares to propose the abolition of the guard system. Why? It's because of the guard's system, some people have guns and land! If someone proposes to abolish the guards, the guards will immediately rise up and rebel. This is a real rebellion, and it is definitely not as simple as making a fuss.

Liu Ru brought it up at this time, just to Zhang Zhun to prevent the slightest deterioration,

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Liu Ru said without hesitation: "The concubine thinks that from now on, the lord will gradually cancel the hereditary inheritance of the military field. ”

Zhang Zhun groaned and said, "Specific steps." ”

Liu Ru said with great ambition: "First of all, we must limit the number of military fields and try not to expand the number of military fields. The concubine got some data from Liu Hang, and the amount of military land currently distributed is only about 80,000 mu, and the absolute amount is not large. As long as it doesn't continue to expand, it will be much easier to deal with it later. ”

"From now on, those who join the army will no longer be given military land, but will be given a settling-in allowance. The lord's army is getting stronger and more influential, and there will definitely be more and more people willing to join the army. Compared with other armies, the welfare of the Tiger Army is already very good, and the attraction is strong enough, even if there is no military field, the lord does not need to worry about the problem of soldiers. ”

"In the reward of daily meritorious service, silver can be directly distributed in place of military fields. Pensions for the death of war and pensions for wounded are also payable in silver. The lord is not very short of silver now. If you don't want to receive the money, you can gradually replace it with mintian. As long as the number of civilian fields is several times greater than the number of military fields, I believe that everyone will not fiercely resist. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

Liu Ruye's policy is undoubtedly to boil frogs in warm water, to slowly transform all military fields into civilian fields, and then completely cancel the existence of the monster military fields. Her strategy was basically correct. The largest source of military land is actually the five acres of military land distributed when he joined the army. At present, there are more than 13,000 officers and men at all levels in the Tiger Ben Army, and 65,000 acres of military land were distributed when they joined the army. The number of military fields that have truly made meritorious contributions, been injured, and sacrificed will not be very large.
