Chapter 19 Redundant Troops Tuntian

Since becoming a relative with Gao Huaiyuan, Wei Liaoweng's attitude towards Gao Huaiyuan has changed a lot, the jade pendant that Sanshan Sanren gave to Gao Huaiyuan was actually a token given by Wei Liaoweng to Sanshan Sanren, when Wei Liaoweng was an official in Jiannan, he had been slightly obedient to the mountains and wilderness to privately visit the people, but he inadvertently encountered bandits, and was almost killed by bandits, and was just rescued by passing Sanren. The two then became friends, and when they parted, Wei Liaoweng gave the small jade pendant he carried with him to Sanren, telling Sanren that as long as he needed it, he could take this thing to him, and he would definitely lend a hand.

With this friendship, when Wei Liaoweng saw the jade pendant in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, he hesitated for a while, and then Sanshan Sanren directly found Wei Liaoweng and informed Wei Liaoweng of Gao Huaiyuan's mind, and he immediately agreed to accept Qiu Tong as a righteous daughter, and then let Qiu Tong marry from his Wei Mansion and marry Gao Huaiyuan, and made his attitude clear and supported Gao Huaiyuan.

This is also the reason why Qiu Tong became Wei Liaoweng's righteous daughter, but Wei Liaoweng is by no means just listening to one side, the most critical reason why he will support Gao Huaiyuan is not because of a commitment from the scattered people, but that he has already understood Gao Huaiyuan's personality in detail in private, and understands his previous life and the way of being an official, and has already expressed admiration for Gao Huaiyuan from the bottom of his heart, especially the Northern Expedition, which made Wei Liaoweng impressed, so there was the scene a few days ago.

When everyone sat down, Gao Huaiyuan looked at the few famous Confucians in history, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, since he first came to this era, how could he have thought that one day he could sit with such a few people, but now, he can drink with such a historical celebrity, in exchange for the first time here, he may have a feeling of death without regrets.

After everyone greeted each other, after a few glasses of wine, Gao Huaiyuan led the topic to the reduction of redundant soldiers, and asked these important ministers of the court for advice.

After hearing this, Zhen Dexiu smiled indifferently, did not say anything, and continued to taste the wine in the cup, while Hong Zhikui frowned and did not speak, both of them were also mentioned by Gao Huaiyuan, they were both recommended by Gao Huaiyuan, and they were reinstated or promoted to the court, and Gao Huaiyuan was also kind to them, but the two of them did not express their gratitude to Gao Huaiyuan.

Zhen Dexiu is okay to say, he has no opinion on Gao Huaiyuan, but Hong Zhikui is a little dissatisfied with Gao Huaiyuan, the biggest reason is that Gao Huaiyuan uses Ji Xiancheng to control the way of speech, which makes him very unaccustomed to it, in his opinion, Gao Huaiyuan does this, there is no difference between Han Yanxuan and Shi Miyuan back then, and he is suspected of being a traitor!

The reason why he came to the banquet this time was also for the sake of Gao Huaiyuan's face that had helped him, otherwise, Hong Shikui would probably not even come to the banquet!

So when he heard that Gao Huaiyuan was about the redundant army, he didn't express his opinion at all, Gao Huaiyuan saw Hong Zhikui's disdain for him, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart Although I know that you are an honest and honest official, but I am also thinking about the country, why are you doing this to me?

But Nian had already heard that Hong Zhikui was a person who was proud of his talents, and how much he dared to speak out and advise, so he no longer had the same knowledge as him, and asked Wei Liaoweng what was the best way to deal with this matter.

Wei Liaoweng thought for a while and said: You are obviously in a bit of a hurry to reduce redundant troops, although this matter is obviously beneficial to the country and the people, but the slightest carelessness may be self-defeating, but it will cause chaos in the world, as far as I can see, it is better to gradually reduce it, step by step!

Gao Huaiyuan immediately said: Don't hide it from you, as far as I can see, I'm afraid it's too late to make progress step by step, the Western Xia Kingdom is about to fall now, and the Mongolian army may invade our dynasty at any time, if we don't act now, I'm afraid it's time to wait! The redundancy of troops is the biggest obstacle to a strong army, and if this problem cannot be solved in a short period of time, I am afraid that a major event will be missed! Is there no other way?

Looking at the anxious look on Gao Huaiyuan's face, Zhen Dexiu, who had been avoiding Gao Huaiyuan for a while, finally spoke, and he smiled indifferently and said: Lord Gao, how about listening to Zhen's words?

Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: I would like to hear the true adult Gao Jian!

Gao didn't dare, in fact, I also agreed with Lord Gao's suggestion that a large number of useless and redundant troops should be dismantled, so that the burden on our dynasty could be reduced, but the reason why we were opposed to the dynasty was not for you, Lord Gao, but because this matter was just as Lord Weng said, if you are not careful, it may lead to chaos, but it is self-defeating!

In fact, I am afraid that Gao Daren has not thought of it a little, if you want to solve this problem, why not think about it on JD.com?

JD.com? Gao Huaiyuan was a little puzzled.

Right! JD! From the original report of the tall people, I heard that many places in Jingdong have been abandoned due to years of war, a large number of farmland has been abandoned, and a large number of ownerless land have appeared in many places, after the establishment of the country, the perennial pursuit of the field system is not established, and the policy of annexation is not suppressed, most of the existing state land has been private land, once the redundant soldiers are dismissed from all over the country, there is no land to plant, and now the north is because of the loss of people, Gao has written to the court many times, encouraging refugees who fled south to return to their hometowns to farm, but Gao has ever thought that after more than ten years of war, Even if JD.com refugees return to the north, it will be difficult to fill the number of local people who fled in the early years and died due to the war in a short time!

This means that Jingdong should have a large amount of idle public land available, in this case, the matter of cutting redundant troops, why not consider Jingdong's large area of borderland? Zhen Dexiu nodded, and then said to Gao Huaiyuan.

After hearing Zhen Dexiu's words, Gao Huaiyuan slapped his head hard and shouted: "The real adult is really a great talent!" Why didn't I think of this aspect? Good! It's just great! In this way, it will be possible! We can transfer the redundant troops to the north to settle down, rent public land and cultivate them, and then solve the problem of resettlement after the redundant troops are removed!

Before he finished speaking, Zhen Dexiu stopped him and said: Lord Gao is also too happy, this matter is easier said than done, the people and officers and soldiers of our dynasty have long been accustomed to the life in Jiangnan, if Lord Gao wants them to go to the north and east of the country to settle down, I'm afraid it will not be easy! What's more, the land of Jingdong has been lost for a hundred years, there has long been a light saying between the north and the south, so many southerners settle in the north, there are still many problems, whether the new southerners can integrate into the local area is not yet known, if this matter is implemented, it can only be tried first, and when it is feasible, it can be vigorously implemented, in a short period of time, I advise the high people or not to implement this matter on a large scale!

Wei Liaoweng was also inspired by Zhen Dexiu at this time, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said: What Lord Zhen said is extremely true, but from what I have seen, this matter is still very feasible, why should I dismiss them? It is better to directly transfer some of the troops that should be dismantled to Jingdong, so that the army can be stationed in the fields to make them self-sufficient, and the Jingdong localities can also collect land taxes and enrich the treasury, so that the matter can be solved as soon as possible!

Gao Huaiyuan was happy at this time, there was nothing to worry about, after these people discussed, there was a way, he only thought about the removal of these redundant soldiers, but he didn't think about the problem of resettlement, now Jingdong has just recovered, it can be said that a hundred ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, a large number of abandoned land needs a large number of people to cultivate, he was still in Jingdong when he was worried about this matter, but did not link these two things together, to the military camp, this kind of thing has existed since ancient times, and it is also an effective way to strengthen the strength of remote areas, In addition to letting these people go to the local tuntian, they can also use their leisure time to train them on weekdays, although they cannot be used as regular troops, but when necessary, they can be used as local garrisons, so that in addition to solving the problem of too many redundant troops in the Southern Song Dynasty, they can also quickly restore agriculture in Jingdong and increase the number of people who have been greatly reduced due to the war!

When they said this, even Hong Zhikui, who had always disdained to express his position, couldn't help but nod and said: I think this matter is feasible, this method is good to use the army to settle the border, one can solve the problem of redundant troops, and the other can enhance the defense force of Jingdong, the biggest advantage is that after the southerners go north, the people of the two places who have not been in contact with each other for many years can quickly integrate, so that Jingdong can integrate more quickly into our dynasty, and from then on, Jingdong will become an enclave! Wonderful! It's wonderful!

So a wine decided this major event, Gao Huaiyuan also won the support of several of their important ministers in this matter, and the next morning, Wei Liaoweng personally reported the matter to Zhao Yun in the early dynasty.

When Zhao Yun and the hundred officials of the court listened to Wei Liaoweng's recital, most of them nodded their heads to indicate that it was feasible, and Zhao Yun also carefully read the recital written by Wei Liaoweng, and stretched his brows, if this matter can be implemented, it can be said that it is definitely a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, which not only solves the problem of the heavy economic burden caused by the perennial maintenance of redundant soldiers in the imperial court, but also solves the problem of the population of Jingdong, and also strengthens the local defense force, which can be described as a rare good thing.

So Zhao Yun asked for the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and after receiving the support of Zhen Dexiu and other ministers, he immediately issued an order to hand over the matter of the garrison to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household allocated special funds to support the implementation of this matter.
