Chapter 208: Giving a Man a Fish (Part II)

The ancients said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and it is better to teach a person in difficulty a fish, so that he will not lack fish in the future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat's more, the ancients also had an ancient saying, which is called raw rice and fighting rice hatred. When you have long-term kindness to someone, they will take it for granted, and if one day you suddenly don't give it to him, then he will hate you. There are a lot of such things, and there are a lot of them in this kind of news in later generations. So that the ancients have experience, instead of directly contributing to the support, it is better to give him a chance to earn a living on his own, so that he will be grateful to you. Otherwise, direct support will not only not produce any social value, but will also be equivalent to a net loss. Although you earn this wealth yourself, you can theoretically spend it without a problem. However, this brings about the loss of wealth of the whole society, and direct support is not a thing.

What's more, this Mrs. Wu is not completely without labor, if she is a disabled person or a real person without labor, she will naturally not say anything at that time. However, this is a labor force, and Shi Bufan still prefers to give her a chance to work to support herself, rather than letting her directly accept the support of others.

"Chen Zhao, I'll take you to another place again!" Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan took this Chen Zhao to a Zhechong Mansion under Wannian County again, and this Zhechong Mansion is Kuangdao Mansion. According to the system of the government military system of the Tang Dynasty, the government military system is actually a system of integration of soldiers and peasants, and all the people can go to the government to serve as government soldiers. And after becoming a government soldier, you will belong to direct management, and you will be assigned to the military by yourself, and your family members will also belong to the military family. In the army, you can be exempted from rent and transfer, and you don't need to do hard labor, but you just need to do military service. On weekdays, there is no salary for the government soldiers, and there are only some additional subsidies when performing tasks, which is considered a reward. Of course, even weapons and equipment, war horses, food and grass need to be provided by the government soldiers themselves.

However, it is not without conditions, and this condition is that the government soldiers can obtain land. The soldiers gained land and obtained more land. And after he dies in battle, his mouth divides the field, and he can inherit it. Unlike other ordinary people, Koufentian cannot be inherited to future generations, and once he dies, he must take back the imperial court. If the soldiers die in battle, the land can be left to future generations and their families, which is also exchanged.

Shi Bufan walked to the office area of Zhichong Duwei of Zhichong Mansion, although it is also located in Wannian County, but it does not belong to Wannian County to manage. Shi Bufan came over like this, in fact, there was some suspicion of crossing the border, but Shi Bufan had something to do at this time.

"Go and inform you of the Du Lieutenant, and say that the man in Dingxiang County is looking for him!" Shi Bufan said.

At this time, Shi Bufan must use the identity of "Dingxiang County Man" to ask for a meeting, because the lowest of the Lieutenants of Zhichong is also a fourth-grade, if he asks to see him as an eight-rank county man, his status is too short, so it is difficult to speak at that time. As a man in Dingxiang County, that is the fifth grade, coupled with the convention that the title is higher than the official position, he is not afraid to face the fourth-grade military attaché, and there is an equal exchange of capital.

"Who is looking for Su?" A man in his thirties came out and asked.

"Su Zhichong, I came to you for something this time!" Shi Bufan said.

"If there's anything, please just say it!" Su Duwei replied.

Obviously, this Su Duwei obviously did not have the idea of in-depth communication with Shi Bufan, because although there is not much difference between civilian officials and military attaches at the top level, there is still a clear distinction between the middle and low levels. Although the high-level can be exchanged for civil and military affairs, it is obviously not possible at the middle and low levels, and the two are not suitable for excessive exchanges. This artifact separates the unspoken rule. then both parties must abide by it.

"Captain Su, I heard that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many bereaved families of soldiers who died in battle, and they have not been well cared for? Some orphans and widows are unable to survive in peace? I think I can help them a little bit, what do you think? Shi Bufan said.

"Oh? Please, let's go in and talk! Su Duwei said.

Obviously, Captain Su is interested, because as a soldier, he is naturally more united. Killing the enemy on the battlefield is often a matter of mutual trust, but it is much more united than civilian officials. Especially for the families of soldiers killed in battle, preferential treatment should be considered. But in ancient times, the families of these soldiers who died in battle were very bitter. Because those family members are a burden, without men, naturally there is no income. Some will even be unable to survive because of this, and these are the worries of soldiers. Why did the ancient recruits like to recruit those who were homeless, these people had no worries and no family burdens, so they died and died. With family, there are worries and worries, so I am afraid of death.

But everyone has to start a family, and even a king cannot forbid his soldiers to marry and start a family. Therefore, what is really good can ensure morale, that is, to let the soldiers have no worries, so that they can have a stable life. But in ancient times, this was a luxury. The productivity of ancient times, coupled with various conditions, made it difficult to ensure that soldiers had no worries. This is one of the reasons why soldiers are afraid of death. Even if there are a small number of comrades-in-arms to help, how much can they help? Who is not difficult, this is the biggest trouble.

"Shi County male, I can't hide it, Su also encountered these. According to the quota, my subordinates have 800 soldiers, but in fact, only 600 of them can really grow up, and more than 200 are actually orphans and widows. According to the military system, the father dies and the son replaces, so although these people who have not yet reached the age of Ding are also my subordinate soldiers, they are not able to fight. I've only been stable for a few years, and I'm very anxious about it. I'm not asking my soldiers to help each other, but that's a drop in the bucket. Everyone farmed and bought weapons, etc., and there was not much money left. So it's very difficult, not to mention that the imperial court has no money now, there is really no way. If you can contribute some money, then all the soldiers of our Kuangdao Mansion will be grateful to you! Su was also born in poverty, and most of my Datang soldiers were born in poverty, so I naturally empathize with this. Su Duwei said.

The middle and low-level generals of the Tang Dynasty were mainly from poor families, and the scholars often disdained to take the road of the army, and only the poor families would mainly come from the army. In this way, the middle and low-level officers are mainly from the poor family, so this cold family also hopes to help the families of their comrades who died in the war. This is also a rabbit dead fox sorrow, since there is a way, then it can help, because then who knows if you will have the same day?

"Captain Su misunderstood, I didn't pay for it. I'm afraid that the current finances of my Datang are very difficult, where can I have money? I plan to give those orphans and widows a way to make a living, and that's what matters. This is Chen Zhao Chen's proprietor who is about to open a cloth workshop, and he plans to recruit some orphans, widows, and military martyrs to do things, so that they can have a stable harvest. Do you think that works? Shi Bufan said.

Su Duwei touched his beard, this method is obviously good, especially if it can solve the family income of these children who are not yet minors. This kind of system of serving as soldiers for generations is most afraid of this kind of green and yellow time. Once the father dies in battle, according to the rules, the son must go up, so that he can continue to obtain land and enjoy the privileges given by the state to the government soldiers. Therefore, when the father dies in battle, there must be a son on top, no matter how young the son is, even if he is just born, he is already considered to have entered the military. Of course, the rules are true, but no one can let a young child go to war. At this time, their family is very troublesome, especially the burden of this family often weighs on their mother's head. However, in this agrarian society, it may be difficult for mothers to farm, especially because agricultural technology is not developed, which makes it even more difficult for women to participate in farming and production. Without production, there is naturally no income.

Even if you rely on others for help, it won't last long, and no one's money will be blown by the wind. So this time is the hardest, if you can get a job, it is also the best way to reduce the pressure on the family and be able to raise a soldier.

"Shi County male, is this the only owner willing to accept it? There are a lot of similar people here, not only in our Oshichong Prefecture, but also in other prefectures. Look at ......," said Su Duwei.

That Chen Zhao hesitated, if it was just a few hundred people, it was barely acceptable. But once he continues to expand, he can't afford it.

"Don't worry about Captain Su, I will make more businessmen willing to accept it next. I think that the businessmen in this world are not all the kind of people who forget their righteousness for profit, and they are still willing to accept many military martyrs' families to join. Shi Bufan said.

Shi Bufan's next step is really to convince those businessmen, especially those who have just started a business, to give priority to the employment of those military martyrs. This not only gives some stability to the families of those military martyrs, but also allows the soldiers to fight with peace of mind. Even to solve their worries, it can be regarded as allowing the families of military martyrs to gain stability.

As long as it appeases the families of military martyrs, it can be regarded as contributing to social stability and stabilizing the morale of the military.

Su Duwei nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Chen, who dares to bully you in the future, then tell me, I think hundreds of brothers in our Kuangdao Mansion will help you get justice." ”

Chen Zhao was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there would be this benefit. Recruiting these martyrs to accept employment not only saves costs, but also gains fame. Now he has obtained all kinds of protection from these soldiers, especially this Su Duwei actually called him "brother", which I didn't dare to think of in the past!

I beckoned the military martyrs to come in, and the benefits obtained in this way are definitely very good, especially in the future, these soldiers will often defend them openly and secretly. Because as a soldier, he is naturally more united, especially since no one dares to guarantee that he will die in battle one day. What happens if you die in battle and your family is a big question. So if a businessman is willing to hire a large number of military martyrs, then he will be protected by those troops in the open and covert, and this protection can be from the bottom up. In this way, the military will not only not deliberately suppress you, but will help you intentionally or unintentionally and maintain your development. I hope that after you develop, you can recruit more military martyrs to come in, and you can get more benefits. Those soldiers know if they will die in battle, so instead of attacking you, they will help you.

Shi Bufan smiled, this kind of arranging a post for the families of military martyrs and arranging a good post is also a common practice in later generations. Especially in a country where social security is underdeveloped, or even severely lacking, this approach is simply tried-and-true. If you are willing to recruit military martyrs, then the soldiers will desperately defend him, and will help him develop. This method is actually very useful, and it is tantamount to tying yourself to a large army. Even in later generations, many governments could even reduce or exempt enterprises that recruited the disabled, the families of military martyrs, and the families of sacrificed public security to work, and gave priority to the descendants of those military and police martyrs to be reported to the military academy and police academy, which was actually a means to stabilize the morale of the military.

If you are willing to recruit military and police martyrs, it is tantamount to tying you and the military police together. Those police officers who may have eaten and taken cards will not only not ask you for them, but even help you fight back when others come to ask you for them. As military and police officers, they are all high-risk occupations, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be a day when there will be the same sacrifice. No one they blackmail, and they don't dare to extort those enterprises that have a large number of families of military and police martyrs, otherwise those comrades-in-arms will first die and be sad and clean you up first. With the overt and covert protection of violent institutions such as the military and police, this kind of basic initial development will not be a problem. They will even want you to expand to accommodate more military and police martyrs, because they themselves dare not guarantee that they will not have such a day!

Chen Zhao is really overjoyed, and he is really lucky today. Not only did Shi Bufan promise that as long as he was willing to recruit those widows and orphans, he could give him orders within the influence of his authority. And this time to solve the matter of the military martyrs' families, then this Su Duwei also promised that he was willing to come forward when he was bullied, and even the entire Kuangdao Zhichong Mansion came forward together, so what else did he have to fear? At that time, wouldn't you be able to sit back and relax?

Therefore, Chen Zhao has decided in his heart that he wants to expand the scale as soon as possible, and then strive to recruit more military martyrs. In this way, those armies of Datang are tied to themselves, so who dares to bully themselves? At that time, if someone bullied, it would also be up to those soldiers to see if they agreed.
