This time the brawl between Right Guard and Wu Houwei ended with an inexplicable result. The emperor Li Shimin, www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, did not have any evaluation of this matter, did not make any decisions, and did not punish any party. Li Shimin did not say whether Su Dingfang's behavior was right or wrong, in fact, according to this kind of thing, he transferred troops and entered Chang'an City to beat Wuhou Wei without authorization, and it was absolutely not too much to deduct a crime of rebellion. But this time, Li Shimin handled it coldly, and he didn't seem to dwell on this matter much. And Li Shimin just scolded "what's the matter" and left, leaving behind a mess of chicken feathers.

Li Shimin didn't say much at all, but it was as if he hadn't heard it. In fact, Li Shimin also knew that although Su Dingfang was suspected of transferring troops and rebelling without authorization, he did not really want to rebel. What's more, this time it was actually Wu Houwei who did not do it authentically, people kindly helped the families of military martyrs to solve employment and life problems, you are also a soldier, it is okay if you don't help, you are still fooling around here, you deserve to be beaten. But Li Shimin didn't support Su Dingfang either, this time Su Dingfang's methods were not very authentic, and he actually brought people over directly. This is not in accordance with the procedure, what if this behavior is encouraged in the future? So Li Shimin treated it coldly at all, didn't care, and let this matter go away.

However, the businessmen of the entire Chang'an knew that these military martyrs were all fragrant and sweet. Soon there was a wave of recruitment of military martyrs within the scope of Chang'an, and anyway, all the military martyrs of the Tang Dynasty were also recruited. Whether you have the ability or not, whether you have the ability to do things or not, those businessmen are also willing to recruit military martyrs.

This military brawl incident made those businessmen see that recruiting military martyrs actually has such benefits. Those soldiers will come to your aid when you are in trouble. With the protection of the army, you will most likely not be overly squeezed. Even if those powerful people want to move you, you have to consider the attitude of those soldiers. Otherwise, it really forced those soldiers to be anxious, and they could do anything under the sadness of the rabbit and the fox! Because the soldiers are afraid that their families will not be effectively resettled after they die in the war, and someone is willing to solve their worries for them, of course they have to come forward. If you don't help, isn't that the heart of the people going to be scattered? When people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team. Who doesn't worry about the day they have to come, and no one can be immune to this.

What's more, recruiting the families of military martyrs, which not only gets fame, but also saves costs. In the past, people hoped to obtain the protection of officials through bribery and various forms of selling dark shares, but now by recruiting the families of military martyrs, they can not only save costs, but also gain the support of the army, and of course everyone is willing.

Therefore, in the Gyeonggi area near Chang'an, many businessmen are keen on mercenary martyrs, and the families of military martyrs have become fragrant and sweet one by one. Even if you rob it, you have to grab it, and even the wages you pay are higher than that of many ordinary employees. And in this case, the morale of the soldiers in Chang'an has also stabilized a lot, because they are not worried that their families will not be able to take care of them after they die in battle. And they all know in their hearts that the more this is the case, the more they have to protect the interests of those businessmen who recruit the families of military martyrs, otherwise what will happen to their families after they die? In this way, many businessmen are also tied to the army, and even this effect cannot be achieved by many bribes.

Obviously, though, no one will be satisfied.

"Your Majesty, when the minister heard about this brawl between the armies, it was Shi Bufan's suggestion to let these businessmen recruit soldiers and orphans, which caused this to happen. Therefore, these businessmen recruit military orphans, but they have bad intentions! They are trying to win over the hearts of the army, they are buying the hearts of our Tang Army, and they are trying to do wrong! Please ask the emperor to prohibit the orphans of soldiers killed in battle by this mercenary mercenary, so as to ensure that my Tang army will not be bought by those merchants. Otherwise, wouldn't my Datang army become a private guardian, and it would be able to fight for a businessman like this. This time it's for the sake of a businessman to fight, and tomorrow it's for a businessman to rebel! Please ask the emperor to issue an edict prohibiting merchants from hiring orphans of soldiers killed in battle, so as to prevent merchants from bribing the hearts of the army! And please punish Shi Bufan severely, if he hadn't come up with this plan, how could there have been such consequences? This Shi Bufan is plotting against him, and he actually uses businessmen to buy the hearts of the military, isn't this with bad intentions? So please ask the emperor to arrest Shi Bufan immediately, otherwise my Tang soldiers will become private guardians, and the country will not be a country! Chen Kang, the palace attendant, said.

Chen Kang sued Shi Bufan again this time, because the contradiction between him and Shi Bufan was not small. Chen Kang must oppose any policy that is not out of the ordinary. If Chen Kang doesn't object, then how can he mix it! All policies that are not ordinary, even if they are right, must be opposed, and they must always find excuses. This is obviously not the right thing for the person, as long as it is the person's business, all must be opposed.

"Whenever I put forward something, I want to oppose it all, and I will kill you one day!" Chen Kang thought.

However, Shi Bufan was listening, and after listening to Chen Kang's words, he said in a cold voice: "Chen Kang, if the imperial court prohibits businessmen from recruiting the orphans of soldiers who died in battle, then who will provide for these orphans?" When the time comes, they will all go to your house to eat, how many of your seven-grade officials' money will be able to feed? ”

Chen Kang said directly: "The orphans of the soldiers who died in the war died for the sake of my Tang Dynasty, and they are naturally supported by my Tang Dynasty." However, those businessmen recruit orphans of soldiers who died in battle, which is also ill-intentioned, so it must be prohibited. ”

"Very good, since you said that I Datang will provide for it, then if you can get the wealth of this offering, then I didn't say it!" Shi Bufan said.

Chen Kang immediately said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, did you hear that?" As long as the imperial court was willing to provide for the orphans of these soldiers who died in battle, at that time, Bufan would agree to prohibit merchants from hiring orphans of soldiers who died in battle. Your Majesty, please issue an edict to the emperor, and in the future, all the orphans of my Tang Dynasty soldiers who died in battle must be supported by the imperial court, so as not to give those ill-intentioned businessmen a chance. And, we must severely punish Shi Bufan, a person with bad intentions! ”

At this time, Li Shimin finally became angry and said, "Bastard! ”

"Your Majesty, yes, Shi Bufan is a bastard!" Chen Kang obviously said proudly.

Li Shimin was even more angry, and said to Chen Kang: "Chen Kang, it is you who I scold, not Shi Bufan. Do you know how many soldiers have been killed in battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty? 200,000, that's less! Not to mention that you can't find your family, even if you can find your family, it's not less than tens of thousands. Tens of thousands, with a total of no less than 100,000 family members. Almost all the people of my Datang Dynasty have a few people who are related to their ancestors and died in battle. Could it be that you asked me to feed all the people in Datang? When the time comes, who will pay taxes to my court? Sure enough, it's really incompetent! ”

Chen Kang was taken aback, he obviously didn't expect that there would be so many. But after doing the math, it seems to be the same. I am afraid that about 200,000 soldiers have died in battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and I am probably afraid that there are. Of course, there are many people who can't find their families, which can be said separately. But even if there are tens of thousands of people who can find their families, there are many relatives behind them. In this way, among the current population of about 10 million in Datang, who does not have a few people who are related to the soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty? Isn't that what feed all the people?

Who can afford such a large sum of money? Obviously, no one can afford this money.

Sure enough, after Li Shimin finished scolding, the other generals also started scolding.

"Chen Kang, what do you mean by this? Do you want the orphans of my soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country to starve to death? Wei Chigong scolded first.

Although Wei Chigong was a victim this time, he was Wu Houwei, but he was beaten inexplicably. But now he has to stand on the side of the soldiers, after all, as a soldier, everyone is afraid that his family will not be able to settle properly after dying in battle. But this Chen Kang wanted to provide all the soldiers who died in battle, but the court couldn't afford to support it. Once the imperial court can't afford to provide for it, and forbids merchants to hire those orphans, isn't it death? Isn't it to force those orphans to die? Therefore, this kind of thing that chills the soldiers' hearts must not be done.

"Chen Kang, the soldier of my right guard, I remember you!" Hou Junji, the general of the right guard, said coldly.

Chen Kang Waterfall Khan, this is really a joke, this can be regarded as offending these soldiers. And he immediately looked at those high-ranking civil officials, obviously hoping to borrow these civilian officials to come forward to fight against these generals. But the civil officials closed their eyes one by one, and obviously had no intention of helping him.

"Fool, really a fool, don't use this excuse for anything! When you use this attack, aren't you offending those Qiu Ba to death? If you do this, those Qiu Ba don't look for you to fight hard, that's a strange thing! Fang Xuanling thought to herself.

Fang Xuanling knows very well that they can use anything as an excuse, but don't use the orphans of these fallen soldiers as an excuse. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial treasury was empty enough to run mice. Li Shimin is very frugal for money, so he can't support so many orphans at noon. Therefore, this method of teaching people to fish is not as good as teaching people to fish, which is too good. Although it is for businessmen, it can produce benefits, even if it is just weaving or something, not only will it not increase the burden on the court, but it will be beneficial to the court. Of course, the imperial court must support this kind of thing, not only can it not be banned, but it must also be commended. If you want to cut off the life of the orphans of those soldiers who died in battle, and those Qiu Ba don't fight with you, that's a strange thing. Therefore, those high-ranking civil officials are all treacherous and cunning people, and they all know the truth in this. This aspect really can't be criticized, once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are attacked, they will be chilled, and people's hearts will be scattered.

But this Chen Kang actually wanted to abolish this good method for the sake of a momentary battle of will, isn't this a death? So at this time, whoever helps Chen Kang will be unlucky, and Li Shimin is also an emperor who was born as a general, so he naturally knows what the soldiers want, and he was also a general and knows what the soldiers value most. If the soldiers can't even guarantee what will happen after their deaths, then what morale is there? This kind of businessman is willing to help give those orphans a job, so Li Shimin not only can't object, but also supports and commends him!

"Chen Kang, sure enough, is a person with high eyes and low hands. I know about spraying all day long, and I spray it without investigation. Do you really think that Datang's social welfare is so high that it can feed the orphans of all the soldiers who died in battle? Hmph, even the United States, a tyrant in the 21st century, can't do it, do you think the Tang Dynasty can do it? Sure enough, it's an ungrounded guy! Shi Bufan thought.

Li Shimin took the initiative to say this time: "This time Shi Bufan did a good job, and he did a great job." I have always felt indebted to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, if it weren't for them, where would I be today? Where is I? It's a pity that I have always felt that I have been treated badly, and I am not willing to eat them! This time, Shi Bufan was in a hurry, and he united some loyal and benevolent businessmen to help them. The so-called teaching people to fish is not as good as teaching people to fish, Shi Bufan did a good job this time! ”

"And Shi Bufan's suggestion is that among all the things I purchase in Datang, I will give priority to those businessmen who are willing to hire the orphans of my Datang fallen soldiers. And my Datang official uniforms, as well as all kinds of military uniforms, will be purchased from those businessmen who are willing to take in the orphans of my Datang soldiers! This method is so good, so suitable, I am very satisfied! ”

Li Shimin didn't know the benefits here, which not only saved the burden on the imperial court, but also helped to resume production. Even the money spent on the purchase of military uniforms and some other things that would have been spent can take advantage of the same money to help orphans. So why didn't Li Shimin do such a good thing?

For example, when many enterprises are in disaster relief, the donated materials are often produced by their own companies. In this way, it has gained face and has also advertised. Even those people who received timely assistance ate the materials produced by your company when they were on the verge of despair, and when the time came, wouldn't they be grateful to Dade and give priority to buying them in the future! This advertisement is really a double win, and others have to praise it!

Who made the treasury in the early days of the Tang Dynasty empty, and the one that could run mice. Although there may be a lot of food, there are few other materials! If there is no shortage of food, there is a shortage of other supplies. If these military martyrs can be gathered together to produce cloth and other materials, it will not only enrich the needs of the people, but also solve the employment of military martyrs, and reduce the burden on the imperial court. Such a good thing in one fell swoop, Li Shimin naturally wants to do it.

As soon as Li Shimin said these words, Chen Kang knew that his plan had failed again, but he looked at Shi Bufan and thought to himself: "One day, I will pull you down!" As long as I have me for a day, it won't make you feel better. ”

Obviously, this incident did not dispel Chen Kang's reply that "when the time comes", but will continue to fight against the times. (To be continued.) )
