Chapter 598: Trouble

At this ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, there was a hundred households in brocade clothes and "shouting" with the emperor, some people were happy and some were worried, some of the ministers were already sweating, like dead fish, panicking all day long, more civil and military officials, and the nobles were watching the show with an expression of watching the play, watching this small brocade guard hundred households "bargain" with the emperor.

Yang Reform is absolutely "serious" and "bargains" with this Jinyi Wei hundred.

"Alas, what the Qing family said is very true, for my heroes and heroes of the Ming Dynasty, it really shouldn't be treated like this, it will only chill the hearts of the heroes and heroes of the Ming Dynasty." After Lin Huaiyuan finished talking about his experience, Yang Reform sighed and pushed Lin Huaiyuan directly to the height of a hero and hero of the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Yubian's dry face was covered with sweat, he already knew that the emperor must have an ulterior purpose, although he didn't know what this purpose was, it might be a trivial matter to act on such an important occasion today? Look at the surrounding generals, nobles, these are all man-eating monsters!

“…… Is the military department there? Yang Gengai asked suddenly.

“…… The minister is here. After looking around for a while, Sun Chengzong had to stand up and make a temporary cameo appearance in this military department. However, Liu Tingyuan was knocked out, and the new military department book has not yet been decided, so he can only make a cameo, anyway, the more absurd things have already been done yesterday, and it is nothing to add one more today.

In the strange eyes of the people in one place, Sun Chengzong stood up.

“…… I remember that our dynasty also has relevant rules and regulations for injured and meritorious soldiers, Lin Qing's family complained to me, saying that his subordinates, once they leave my protection, they must have a miserable life, I want to ask, my court's treatment of meritorious soldiers, is it really so low? Yang Gengai asked, looking like he didn't understand.

"Back to Your Majesty, the post-war disability pension and other issues, we have to start with the military households of our dynasty, Taizu founded the country, set the guard system, the officers and soldiers are all military households, all hereditary, the court gives land, usually farming, leisure exercises, when the court is in need, it will be dispatched to the expedition, naturally it is the father and the son, the battle is meritorious, you can be rewarded, disabled or killed in battle, and there are pension ...... such as burning and burying silver, but later, the guard is unbearable, and there is a recruitment system, the officers and soldiers are all recruited, the more famous ones are Qi Jiguang's Qi family army......" Sun Chengzong began to explain the issue of disability pension in the Ming Dynasty.

"Master Sun, please be brief, I just want to know, my heroes, after the heroes of the Ming Dynasty are injured and disabled, will life be miserable, and can the bereavement pension allow them to live a good life?" Yang asked Gengai.

“…… Back to Your Majesty, it depends on what kind of soldier it is, taking ordinary guards as an example, after dying in battle, there is probably only two taels of silver burned and buried silver, after being disabled, either stay in the barracks and wait for death, or unload the armor and return to the field, go home to farm, and get a pension, basically no, if there are children at home, they can still get by, if they are sick and can't work, even if they can't live happily,...... It is a recruiter, it is stronger than the guards, there is a salary and silver on weekdays, if the war is won, there is a reward for silver, and even a share of the fields promised in advance, this kind of is much stronger than the guards soldiers, however, I have never been very abundant in Taicang, and there are not many officers and soldiers who can get the silver, I have been in the dynasty for more than 200 years, and I want to say that I have lived a good life by relying on military salaries and rewards, that is, Qi Shuai's family back then, and now ......, as for the promise of fields, it also refers to Liaodong outside the Guan, and there is almost no extra land in the Guan,...... Now Liaodong Dongyu has not been appeased, even if it is the promised field, it is a few years of cultivation, a few years of waste, the Dongyu is coming, and the year's harvest is returned to the Dongyu, the so-called land, that is, a thought, the Dongyu is uneven, to rely on this land to support the family, I am afraid it is also difficult to ......, to really say that it is acceptable, unless you can add an official body, however, it has always been more soldiers and fewer generals, ala......s, "Sun Chengzong continued.

Yang Gengai nodded and listened carefully.

"It seems that my court's treatment of disability pensions is a bit low, I do have to add some pensions, add some burnt silver, and it is not in vain that the soldiers are disabled for me to be born and die, lonely and desolate, this kind of thing, I can't do it, so let's do it, since there is a precedent of Qi Shuai before, the soldiers can live well on the salary and reward silver, then I will learn from Qi Shuai, and add one to the burnt silver and the pension, so as not to let someone say that I am mean and unkind......" Yang Gai listened for a while, and immediately said, It is necessary to learn from Qi Jiguang to increase the salary of those who are soldiers. Plus treatment, this matter, Yang Reform has been talking about it for a long time, and he has mentioned this matter in front of the military generals more than once, but he has always mentioned it in the sī below, and he has always dared not take it to the court to say, and he did not dare to let this matter become a rule and a rule. ,

"Your Majesty, this, it seems inappropriate, Qi Shuai is a soldier, only a few thousand on weekdays, no more than twenty or thirty thousand, there is so much money in the imperial court to support such a high cost? Your Majesty, I am a Ming Dynasty, but there are more than 2 million officers and soldiers! Sun Chengzong immediately reminded.

"This ...... is indeed a problem! ...... "Yang Reform is quite involved in acting. was originally arrogantly preparing to increase the salaries of the soldiers, but once he heard Sun Chengzong say that there were two million officers and soldiers, he immediately shrank again.

The ministers in one place watched the emperor's "performance", and they didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but when they saw that the emperor heard that there were two million officials and soldiers, he couldn't shrink and couldn't shrink, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"Alas, Master Sun, although I say that I am rich, these two million officers and soldiers are really difficult for me,...... Alas...... You all know that I am not a duplicitous person, and I will definitely do what I promise, which really makes me embarrassed...... even if I have the heart, I don't have the power! ......" Yang sighed.

The ministers of a place looked at the emperor's sad face, and secretly laughed again.

Yang Reform looked embarrassed, sitting on the throne with a dilemma on the left and a right in a dilemma, just scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, what should I do? You can't let the soldiers shed blood during the war and shed tears after the war, I'm Ming, where is there such a treatment of heroes? I can't afford to have a caustic reputation,...... Today, all of you are here, all of you are talking, and you are all giving me an idea......" Yang Reform looked helpless and asked everyone to come up with ideas.

The ministers of a place, you look at me, I look at you.

"Your Majesty! The court has its own laws, whether it is a pension or a buried silver, this is all a rule, and it cannot be lightly changed, let alone wasted, where can it be allowed to bargain with the court like this? Your Majesty, this is just nonsense! Cao Yubian immediately stood up and sharply denounced today's incident.

"Your Majesty, this is simply unreasonable, the minister advised, immediately fork this person out......"

"Your Majesty, this person simply doesn't know the height of the sky, and dares to blackmail the court, the minister thinks that this person should be stripped of his official clothes immediately and handed over to the judicial office......"

Immediately, a group of ministers stood up and supported Cao Yubian, and everyone saw that today's incident was that the emperor was going to make trouble, and it was naturally impossible for the emperor to get his wish easily.

Yang Gengai saw that these people were arguing fiercely, so he pressed them with his hands.

"You have a point,...... Huh-huh...... The law of the imperial court, I also heard Master Sun say something just now, the soldiers of the guard, one died, and only two taels of silver were given, do you think this is the law of the imperial court? Two or two! Everyone's conscience, a human life is worth two taels? You have always taught me to love and be considerate of my people, so they are not my people? Is that how sympathetic it is? I feel that your family has no sons and grandchildren to go to war, so you don't have to cherish the lives of these people, right? If you think that two taels of silver are worth a life, and I want to send your sons and grandchildren to the battlefield, and give two taels of silver when they die, what do you think? Yang Reform said with some anger.

As soon as the emperor said this, he immediately made Cao Yubian's group dumbfounded, since ancient times, the scholars have been ranked in the forefront, and the military households are not as good as the merchants, when can the xìng life of the military household be compared with the xìng life of the scholars? But this is also their own talk, their own play, in the eyes of the emperor, they are all without exception. By the time the emperor said that they would send their own sons and grandsons to battle, these individuals were already speechless. Even Cao Yubian hesitated, he thought that he wanted to fight with the emperor, this was his duty, but think about his seventies, his grandson is also an adult, and even his great-grandson has it, if he is really sent to the battlefield ......, this, the emperor is a master who does what he says, in case he really puts their sons and grandsons on the battlefield,...... At that time, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man ......, and Cao Yubian also hesitated......

"What, there's nothing to say? Now I don't want to talk about the laws of the imperial court, but to place my heroes of the Ming Dynasty......" Yang Gai said.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for the ministers to agree with this, and the court law should not be abolished lightly, since ancient times, the farmers and industrialists have their own degrees, and the scholars have their own scholars' should do, and the military households, the soldiers, should also have what they should do......" Cao Yubian still came out to stir up the situation.

There are even more people holding their faces, ready to respond to the emperor's words, ready to really send their children and grandchildren to the battlefield, so as to block the emperor's words, but thinking of their own sons going to the battlefield ......, this is too cruel, do you need to treat your sons and grandchildren so cruelly? He hesitated again. ,

"I heard what the Qing family meant, it means that those who are soldiers deserve to be unlucky, right? If you die, you deserve to die, and you deserve only two taels of buried silver, right? Yang asked reform.

“…… Your Majesty, the imperial court has its own laws......" Cao Yubian still insisted, the reason why Cao Yubian insisted so much was that he knew that the emperor was going to make trouble today, but he didn't know what the emperor was going to do, so he was particularly concerned about any abnormal behavior, so it was possible to oppose it as much as possible, and it was best not to change anything.

"Cao Qingjia, I understand what you mean, according to your meaning, being a soldier is inherently cheaper than others, right? You deserve to die in battle, right? Others use their lives to fight in front, and they don't count their lives, they can't eat, they can't wear clothes, these are all deserved, right? If you're dead, you deserve to use Zhang Xizi to roll things up, right? ......," Yang asked.

"......" Cao Yubian still wanted to talk, and he knew that the emperor continued.

“…… British duke, your ancestors were also born in the army, what do you think of this statement? Yang Reform didn't wait for Cao Yubian's interface, so he asked the British Gongzhang Weixian, who was standing at the front of the line.

"Your Majesty! If it is said that soldiers are inherently cheaper than others, then the old minister is the first to refuse! My ancestors were born in war with Taizu, and they also started from small soldiers, if the life of a soldier is cheap, then wouldn't it scold me for waiting for these nobles to be sluts? Your Majesty, the old minister didn't play with him......" Zhang Weixian immediately said angrily, gritting his teeth and stomping his feet as he spoke, looking humiliated.

"Your Majesty, who said that the life of a soldier is cheap, and the minister didn't play with him......"

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't play with him......"

More Xungui also stood up, angry Zhang Weixian, and aimed his angry gaze at Cao Yubian and others, the reason why Xungui is Xungui, many of them were exchanged for their military exploits by their ancestors, and when they were soldiers to fight, many of them started from small soldiers, saying that the life of a soldier was cheap, and naturally they were scolded to their ancestors.

The form on the field has changed all of a sudden, the original court discussion was basically literati, but now there are more nobles and generals, and the contrast of forces is suddenly disproportionate.

The nobles were noisy and shouting, and some even scolded angrily, and this reward ceremony was immediately like a vegetable market. Yang Reform also smiled secretly, and with it, he brought Cao Yubian into the yīn ditch, these guys are also unaccustomed to their eyes on weekdays, and they have no scruples about talking and doing things, so they have almost no defense against this.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have never been ......" Cao Yubian was in the anger of the nobles, ready to argue, he never said that the life of a soldier was cheap, that was what the emperor said. But now everyone thinks that he said it, and he has a hard time arguing.

Yang Reform pressed his hand, and the nobles stopped, and Cao Yubian's words couldn't go on.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I have never said that the life of a soldier is cheap, and I have always treated everyone equally, they are all my people, I have no reason to favor one over the other, since the life of a soldier is not cheap, then naturally we should think of a way to settle these heroes......" Yang Gai said, but brought out the most critical purpose of the day.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter is simply simple! If it weren't for someone to get in the way, there would be no such thing at all, and what kind of resettlement would that Lin Baihu exchange for his great military exploits? Your Majesty! It's not that the old minister slandered some people in the court, this matter, the court did not do it authentically, think that Lin Baihu they have so much merit, burned to death, killed and injured more than 10,000 people, this is a real war feat, if you count by the merits of war, they have more than 200 people, one head, not to mention that you can also get fifty heads, fifty heads can't be exchanged for an official of a hundred households? Your Majesty, according to the old ministers, Lin Baihu and their people, Your Majesty should give everyone an official of a hundred households, regardless of whether they are injured or not, as long as they are willing, let them take the officials of the hundred households back to their hometowns for the elderly, and do not assign them any errands, nor assign them a position, just take the officials of the hundred households back to their hometowns for the elderly, why not, only when the court takes money to support these heroes, why not? It also saves some people, who always think about the life of being a soldier, saying that those who are soldiers deserve to be unlucky for a lifetime, and don't take our lives as soldiers seriously...... and let the people of the world see His Majesty's xiōng, and let the people of the world see that His Majesty is not a mean person, but a benevolent master, but a virtuous king......" Zhang Weixian immediately took the lead and immediately made this remark upside down. ,

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a commotion among the nobles. Yang Reform listened to this, and his heart settled down, this matter, I have not found a suitable person to come out and say, think about it, there is only the first person in Xungui, Zhang Weixian is the most suitable for this job, he is old enough, people are old enough, and he is not afraid of being hard, and he is the head of the honor, and he is the head of the honor, and he started his ......family with martial arts, compared to coming and going, and only Zhang Weixian came out to say that this is the most suitable, of course, for this matter, Yang Reform did not use his brain less, and gave Zhang Weixian the "stock" he liked.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that the prince is reasonable, this matter, some people must be obstructing it, otherwise, there will be such a thing there? The military exploits that people fought hard for in the Sancha River were just drifted away by those people, more than 10,000 heads, how many officials were given to them? Your Majesty, this is enough for each of them to have a hundred households......"

“…… That is, Your Majesty, the court is doing things unfairly, and someone is méng to cover Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please investigate your ...... thoroughly"

“…… That is, Your Majesty, there are people in the court who do things unfairly, and it is the credit that others have exchanged for their lives! Why did you just send it away? If it's a minister, the minister will also come out to fight......"

“…… Your Majesty, the minister also agrees with what the Duke of Guo said, what kind of way do you need to settle this! Give it directly to an official, let them go home to recuperate from their injuries, or support their old age, isn't the court just an extra set of official clothes? Do you want to give more money? To their credit, it's worth it! ……”

"Your Majesty, the minister also praised what the minister Guogong said, the court should not treat those heroes like this, this matter must be something to retaliate against us and others who were born in the army......"

In this ceremony, the people in one place, especially the nobles, were arguing, shouting that the methods of the national prince were good, that the court was unfair, that the heroes were mistreated, and that some people had erased their merits. Some generals watched the more they talked, the more lively they became, and they also mixed in, and this ceremony was even more lively.

At this time, Yang Reform began to laugh, this step, after waiting for a long time, finally came to this point.

Cao Yubian and some other ministers watched in horror at the nobles and nobles, and looked at the emperor in horror. The emperor also said at the time that he would share the profits with others, otherwise, he would not be able to burn so many Tartars by hot air balloons alone. Has it become unfair to the court?

The nobles are getting happier and happier, so that you Wenchen looks down on being a soldier, our ancestors, are all born in the army, although I don't know what the specific thing is, but I see someone taking the lead, especially those prestige nobles taking the lead, it is naturally a vigorous commotion, I am afraid that the matter will not be big, I haven't scolded Wenchen so happily for a long time.

It is rare for the generals to come out and say a fair word to themselves, waiting for those nobles to scold Wenchen, and some generals can't help it, so they join the nobles and scold them together. RO@。
