In such troubled times, the construction of the army naturally comes first. Therefore, in this year without war, the Heavenly Army has perfected the original three-level system of reserves, local troops, and field troops. The quality of the armed forces is strictly checked, screened at every level, and the welfare of field troops is the highest, so the combat capability will naturally not be weak.

In addition, there is another advantage of calling the heavenly army, that is, there are a large number of herdsmen in the cavalry of the army. These people are born riders and know how to fight, but what they lack is combat discipline and will, as well as a good leader.

Now, ask the heavenly army to make up for what they lack, and this excellent cavalry can be obtained without much effort. And this is also one of the reasons why Uncle Mo thinks he is not afraid of Jianyu. As for the other reasons, it is naturally because the Heavenly Army defeated Jianyu, and it already has a certain psychological advantage.

On this side, Hu Guangyang raised the information in his hand and preached to the senior leaders of the Heavenly Army present: "The Slave Chief Emperor Taiji sent a lot of Han people to sneak to the Ming Kingdom, and the scale is more than ever before. ”

When they heard this, everyone was unimpressed. This kind of thing is not new. Even if it's a little bigger, there's nothing to focus on from the Heavenly Army. What's more, at the moment, the Heavenly Army itself will also have important things to implement.

"This time, these meticulous actions are no longer in the hands of those traitors, and I am afraid that what they have to do is very big. One of them was tasked with carrying gold and silver to Beijing to run relations, so that the officials of the Ming State could speak well for Jianyu, give more food and other supplies, and so on......"

Hu Guang's introduction did not go into detail. The person here is actually Fan Gouzi, who was appreciated by Huang Taiji for his ability to make friends with people from all walks of life in Shenyang, which is now Shengjing, so he was assigned this task.

However, Sun Yunxuan, who was behind Fan Gouzi, considered that he would not be able to find out the information of the Jianyu Headquarters after leaving Shengjing, so he made Fan Gouzi sick and failed to make the trip.

Other than that. Most of the fine works sent to the Ming Kingdom this time were former Dongjiang Town sergeants with a small family in Shengjing. Three or five people left in groups, and there was no contact between them. If it weren't for Sun Yunxuan, or Fan Gouzi's extensive connections, I really didn't know that the number of these fine works was accumulating, and the scale was far greater than before.

From what Sun Yunxuan heard. The tasks of these people are almost the same, just to go to the Ming Kingdom to settle in the Jingshi, and nothing else.

This made Sun Yunxuan a little puzzled, but he guessed that there must be new tasks in the follow-up of these detailed works, so he planned to wait for Huang Taiji to issue a new task and then report in detail, this time, it was just a skimm.

The original intelligence level was reduced, and the big guys didn't pay much attention to this intelligence, including Hu Guang. He at this time. The mind is all inside the Heavenly Army.

After he finished saying this information, looking at the faces of these old guys present, he knew that their minds were not on this information, and they were all concerned about the major measures they were about to release.

Hu Guang thought about it for a while, and then decided to mention it again: "Everyone knows that the population of our Heavenly Army is growing rapidly, especially the disaster victims and refugees in Guannei. If there is no effective way to manage it, it will be bigger in the future. Our grip will inevitably wane. So, from next year. We have called the Heavenly Army to implement a new policy, which will also be the basis for the establishment of the Heavenly Army in the future. ”

These senior leaders here already knew a little bit before, and Hu Guang also discussed it with some of them. Everyone was excited about this unprecedented measure, and they all stared at Hu Guang. Listen carefully.

I only heard Hu Guang's voice raise slightly, and announced there: "In the future, everyone who is registered, regardless of their status, will enjoy the government's old-age security." That is, after reaching the age of 50 or losing the ability to work. You can get a sum of money every month from the government to cover your living expenses. ”

The pension system, in fact, has been somewhat in all dynasties. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, it was because the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was really born in a poor peasantry, and his pension system was the best in all dynasties.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the elderly over the age of 70 could be exempted from the labor of a son; Those over 80 years old, who are required to be of good character and have a record in the government, can receive 100 catties of rice, 5 catties of pork, and 60 catties of wine every month. Over 90 years old, there are also silk cotton wool and other things.

Of course, the follow-up emperors of the Ming Dynasty still have supplements in the pension system, but in general, in fact, these pension systems are not universal, and there are very few real people who can enjoy this kind of welfare.

To tell the truth, the elderly who can live to be over 70 years old basically have okay family conditions, and almost all of them are official eunuchs. Poor people live to be 70 years old, which is really very rare.

The pension system called Tianjun is different, you can receive it every month at the age of 50, and this audience is wide.

According to archaeological estimates, the average life expectancy during the Ming Dynasty was 46 years old for men in the north and 51 years old for women in the north. Southern men are fifty-two years old, and Southern women are fifty-six years old. It can be seen from this that although it is not very accurate, there are still many people who can pass the age of fifty at this time.

This is also the case, and the financial expenditure for this item in the future will be very large, at least much greater than that of the Ming Kingdom. Therefore, Hu Guang continued to talk about the future tax policy of the Heavenly Army: "Ladies and gentlemen, after we occupy the city in Guannei in the future, we will face a very complicated composition of the people. What we did outside the customs is not suitable for application inside the customs, so the new practice is first ...... on the land."

This item is something that everyone, whether it is a common man or a high-ranking official, will be concerned, so everyone listened carefully, and there was no noise in the room except for Hu Guang's voice.

"First, in the future, when we ask the Heavenly Army to occupy the territory of the Guannai, if it is terra nullius, it will be seized and returned to the public as it is outside the Guan; But if there is a lord of land, and its owner is not an enemy of what we call the Celestial Army, then a basic amount of normal land is given according to the degree of its contribution to the Celestial Army. After that, every time a certain number of acres is added, the tax will rise; The principle is to limit the amount of land owned by each household and to prevent the social problems caused by land annexation. ”

Hu Guang thought about this article for a long time, and absorbed the problems brought about by the land annexation of the feudal dynasties, and referred to the income tax collection method of later generations, and adopted the method of suppressing land ownership.

Here, the base of each place will be assessed according to the productivity of the location. In contrast, areas with low productivity will have a smaller base, while areas with low productivity will have a higher base, so as not to cause problems caused by insufficient tax payment by the people. This base will be reassessed every three years.
