readx;?Enlighten the official family! Emperor Taizu once issued a holy decree, the military households Tuntian shall not be punished as a conspiracy, the ministers and officials issued an order to thoroughly investigate the matter of the military household Tuntian, according to the ministers, the reason why the 200,000 old and weak military households in the current court refuse to leave the army is because the military households Tuntian was occupied, such a blatant violation of the Emperor Taizu's holy decree is really ignoring the royal dignity, to cut off the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji! Zhao Lei sneered and turned to the official Zhao Zhen and said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info\. qΒ5。 //

The official Zhao Zhen was also stunned at this time, of course he knew that the military households were not waiting to occupy this kind of thing, but he didn't know that most of the military households in the Tuntian were now occupied, which was also one of the reasons why the people of the Great Song Dynasty were reluctant to join the army, Taizu's holy decree officials dared to disobey, what future did there be as a soldier!

"Wu Yu! Do you know about the occupation of the military households? The official Zhao Zhen's face was a little dark, and he didn't even want to say the word Aiqing, so he asked directly by Wu Yu's name.

The privy envoy Wu Yu was a little confused, the matter of the military household Tuntian was really a trivial matter in his opinion, and he had not paid attention to it at all, so he might know about it!

"I don't know!" Wu Yu replied helplessly.

"Investigate thoroughly, invite the Taizu Holy Decree out, and remove all officials who oppose the Holy Oracle from their posts and investigate them!" Dare to disobey Taizu's holy decree, isn't this a slap in the face of the old Zhao family! If it is not done strictly, where is the majesty of the old Zhao family, thinking of this, the official Zhao Zhen said loudly angrily.

"Your Honor!" Wu Yuma said in a decree, he is also a vicious character, he didn't know about the military household Tuntian before, but now that he knows, of course, he can't spare those officials who ignore the holy decree of Taizu and occupy the military household Tuntian, resulting in the low combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty army, so he has a high command of the official Zhao Zhen's will, and with the promulgation of the official Zhao Zhen's will, the officialdom is about to begin.

Only solve the 200,000 old and weak military households in the army Tuntian asked, the 200,000 old and weak military households in the Great Song Dynasty army are actually happy to retire, although the future of farming in the Great Song Dynasty is not big, after all, life and death are worry-free, if you encounter a good year, the income is more than being a soldier, in this case, the disarmament will not cause much backlash, but ......

"200,000 old and weak soldiers, once they are cut, what should we do with the gap in the army left, the defeat of the high soldiers in Guangnan has already cut off 50,000 forbidden troops, and now the military strength is insufficient, and another 200,000 will be cut, what will we do to guard against the north, quell the rebellion in the south, and deter unscrupulous people from all directions." Prime Minister Jia Changchao slowly questioned Zhao Lei.

Hearing Jia Changchao's questioning, Zhao Lei smiled slightly and explained: "The biggest problem of the imperial army today is that 100 people are unwilling to enlist, and there are 120 million people in the Great Song Dynasty today, and there are about 40 million young and strong men. ”

"It's a pity that I am ignorant and don't want to enlist in the army to defend my family and country!" Wu Yu, who had already ordered the official Zhao Zhen's holy edict, also said with emotion at this time.

"It's not that I'm ignorant, but the court hasn't done enough, Lord Chen controls the three divisions, and he should be the most familiar with money and food, dare to ask Lord Chen, how much can the workers in the Bianjing workshop get a month?" Zhao Lei turned his head to the third envoy Chen Zhizhong and asked.

"The average worker has about the same amount of money." Chen Zhizhong replied quickly and firmly, and seemed to know these things very well.

"Dare to ask Lord Wu, how much does an ordinary soldier have every month?" After Zhao Lei finished asking Chen Zhizhong, he asked Wu Yu, the privy envoy.

Wu Yu understood what Zhao Lei meant, but in his opinion, the soldier's salary was much higher than that of ordinary workers, so he said without thinking: "A sergeant in the army has a soldier every month, as well as a stone of grain and a horse of silk, and the food and clothing of the soldier are supplied by the army, which is already very high." ”

"It's very high! Lord Chen, the price of grain in the Great Song Dynasty is very low, if a stone of grain is grain, it will be more than 100 Wen, if it is rice, it is almost 200 Wen, and if it is a horse of silk, it is 100 Wen, as for the food and clothing of the soldiers, if the army does not solve it, will the soldiers still be allowed to take care of themselves, there has been no such reason throughout the ages!

We calculated carefully, and there were always 77o wen, both ordinary workers and ordinary soldiers, and the grain and silk that the soldiers had more than the workers were worth 300 wen, that is to say, the soldiers in the Great Song army had to risk their lives to rush into battle in order to have 300 wen more than the workers.

Three hundred words! Most of the sergeants and soldiers in the army are strong, as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can earn money twice a month, let alone 300 Wen, they work hard for 300 Wen, does the court really think that Lao Bai is a fool! Who wants to enlist in the army, more importantly, there is no future in being a soldier, even if he becomes a general, a five-grade military general in the Great Song Dynasty, he will kill if he says kill, even if he is a hundred, do the officials of the imperial court dare to kill casually! Zhao Lei's words were very heavy, the reason was very clear, and his words made everyone in the court ponder.

The officials of the imperial envoy are also pondering, Zhao Lei said very reasonably, Guo Wenchen is good at killing the people, and the speech officials of the imperial history platform will immediately jump out to impeach the civil servants and stand up for the people, but the civil officials kill the generals, and the officials look on coldly, I am afraid they will not help, because for the officials, the generals are their class enemies, and they are too late to fall into the well, since they will not help, so think about it carefully, the treatment of being a hundred is much higher than that of a soldier.

At this time, the official Zhao Zhen also felt wrong, the policy of emphasizing literature and light military force in the Song Dynasty court had been implemented for too long, and it had actually affected the discrimination of hundreds of military officers and soldiers and was unwilling to enlist in the army to become one of them

The income is too low, only those poor families who can't live are willing to enlist in the army, how can this kind of army have strong combat effectiveness!

"This official once heard in the army, 'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier', but the millions of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, a few of them have a lot of popularity, but they are just eating and drinking and waiting for death, and they don't even have a promotion to official wealth, who can expect these soldiers to win the battle!" Zhao Lei began to stimulate the mind of the Great Song Junchen again.

Zhao Lei said a very terrible fact, that is, millions of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty are not motivated! There are no people who have made a name for themselves and have been promoted, you must know that there are many prisoners in the millions of troops in the Great Song Dynasty, among which there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are many talents, but these people are willing to sell for the Great Song Dynasty, and only Di Qing has made a name for himself, and he has a future with spelling, but in the end he died of depression.

"How is Aiqing going to improve this situation?" The official Zhao Zhen also felt that it was not good for the situation of the Great Song army to continue, and if Zhao Lei was able to put forward a suitable suggestion, he could consider improving the treatment of the army's grassroots soldiers.

"The establishment of the Privy Council of the Military, which is in charge of all military punishments, and the Penal Department and local officials have no right to arrest and interrogate all officers and soldiers, and only the Privy Council has the right to arrest and interrogate those who violate the law in the army.

Since military households do not need to pay agricultural tax, then all military families should not pay agricultural tax, including those prisoners who are in the army, as long as they enlist in the army, their family land does not need to pay agricultural tax. Zhao Lei said slowly word by word.

"Zhao Sanshi's proposal is too appalling, the Great Song Dynasty has 800,000 forbidden troops, 400,000 local garrison troops, and there are so many crimes committed by non-commissioned soldiers, if the criminal department and local officials have no right to arrest, then it is not chaotic! Besides, the million-strong army of the Great Song Dynasty involved millions of families, and if these families did not pay agricultural taxes, the imperial court would lose at least millions of taels of taxes every year, which was absolutely not allowed.

The third envoy Chen Zhizhong was the first to jump out and retort when he heard Zhao Lei's words.

"Lord Chen's words are very reasonable, so the imperial court needs to be disarmed, the army has 800,000 forbidden troops enough to deter the world, except for the northern border army, the southern army of more than 100,000 troops with the same soldiers as the forbidden army, but they have never been on the battlefield in their lives, some people do not even participate in training, but the soldiers are the same as those border troops who fight for life and death, this situation is very unfair.

Therefore, the official suggested that the imperial army be divided into two classes, the first class is the forbidden army and the border army, enjoy tax exemption treatment, and at the same time double the soldiers, once the soldiers who participate in the battle must also add war subsidies, the second class is the local army, in addition to the 200,000 border troops of the imperial court, the other 200,000 square troops have no chance to participate in the battle in their lives, so they will be reduced to the second class, the soldiers are the same as today, there is no tax exemption, but there are also war subsidies in wartime. Zhao Lei said the suggestion that he had been pondering for a long time.

"The imperial court's annual military expenditure has exceeded 30 million taels, and according to Lord Zhao, next year's military expenditure will probably exceed 40 million, and the third division will not be able to come up with so much money if it increases so much at once!" Chen Zhizhong stood up again to refute Zhao Lei and said.

"It's just an increase of 10 million taels of military spending per year, and the third division really can't get it! In recent years, the annual income of the imperial court has reached 140 million, in addition to all expenses, the imperial court can save 30 million taels every year, there has been no war in recent years, there is no major labor project, and the official roads built in various places are all silver from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute. Zhao Lei looked at Chen Zhizhong with a smile and asked.

Chen Zhizhong had been prepared for Zhao Lei's inquiry, and replied without fear: "The third division has some treasury silver, but the Guangnan rebellion, the fall of Guangzhou, the imperial court needs a large sum of two to quell the rebellion, and the Guangzhou Navy defected, and the 50,000 forbidden army was wiped out, all of which needed silver to rebuild, and the budget of the third division was about to come out, and it was impossible to come up with a son to support Zhao's reform." ”

"Everyone knows the reason for the defection of the Guangzhou navy, in fact, they don't want to defect as pirates and live a life of fear, as long as the imperial court sends envoys to surrender, they explain to the defecting navy, I believe that those navies will accept Zhao'an.

The rebellion in Quang Nam was simpler, as long as the imperial court intended to reform the military and stimulate the combat effectiveness of the army, it was easy to quell the rebellion in Quang Nam. Facing Chen Zhizhong's quibbles, Zhao Lei said with a light smile.

Chen Zhizhong was about to refute again, but Zhao Zhen, an official who was sitting on the dragon chair, snorted coldly, so frightened that Chen Zhizhong immediately shrank back.

The official Zhao Zhen is also very annoying now, the Great Song Dynasty has not lost all the way to the country for a hundred years, but now it has been conquered by thousands of rebels, the southern army is rotten Everyone knows, so bad that the officials run away when they see the rebels, but it makes Zhao Zhen angry, the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty army is indeed worrying, the most important thing is that the official Zhao Zhen still has some ambitions in his heart that the officials do not know, if he wants to realize his ambitions, a strong army is indispensable, maybe it is time to reform the army.

"Zhao Lei is responsible for recruiting the defection navy and quelling the rebellion of Nong Zhigao in Quang Nam, and reforming the army if it is successful." The official Zhao Zhen said conclusively.

Zhao Lei's reform measures encountered little resistance, although the hundred officials were dissatisfied, there was not much opposition, the main reason was that Zhao Lei's reform measures did not deprive the scholars of their rights, the proposal of the military academy could make civilian officials turn into Confucian generals, and the reform of the army only touched the most basic soldiers, and gave too much power to no military generals, so Zhao Lei's reform proposal began with the support of the official Zhao Zhen.
