Although the imperial court had begun to implement the conscription system, there were still quite a few military offices in various states, and the question of the departure and retention of officials and generals in these military offices was finally proposed at the court meeting the next day.

Although almost all of the generals of these military governments have entered the Great Zhou Martial Academy for training, in order to become the general of the new army, they still need to stay in the Great Zhou Martial Academy for a while.

With the full development of the conscription system, the old government military system, which was based on the peasants, will be completely replaced by the conscription system. Peasants specialize in farming, and servicemen specialize in military affairs, each with its own duties and each with its own specialty.

Moreover, after the conscription system was fully launched, there was no longer military service for the common people, and there would no longer be a delay in farming time because of war. Then the best way to improve farming, or according to Wu Zheng, agricultural science and technology should be on the agenda, not to mention hybrid octaploid wheat, or hybrid rice and the like. However, under the existing conditions, the improvement of the farming environment must be put on the agenda along with the abolition of the military government.

Of course, if he could, Wu Zheng also wanted to collect the food of the princes and ministers by the imperial court, and then distribute it uniformly according to the grade. Of course, if Wu Chu does it now, not to mention that the empress does not agree, even the saliva of the princes and ministers can drown him. As a result, Wu Zheng could only wait for himself to ascend the throne and then adjust the restructuring one by one.

The ministers have been very busy since Wu Chuan supervised the country, and I have to say that Wu Zhuang's willingness to work hard is very strong, so in the palace, all the ministers are actively speaking, in order to be favored after the crown prince ascends the throne.

The issue had already been sent to the ministers, so when Wu Zheng came to the Wucheng Palace, the monarch and the ministers saluted. I went straight to the point.

Wu Chu sat behind the imperial case and asked slowly: "You have already got today's topic, so let's discuss how to settle the military officials and generals of each state?" You have your own opinions. This king listens to you! ”

After the ministers discussed softly, Yao Yuanchong bowed down and said: "Your Highness, there are a total of 633 military palaces in various prefectures, and each government has one lieutenant of Zhichong, two lieutenants of Guoyi, four to six captains, and about ten brigade commanders. There are more than 20 teams. In this way, it will be close to 30,000 officials, and there are also state regimental training, state soldiers, and township warriors that also need to be considered. ”

Wu Chuan nodded. I was happy that Yao Yuanchong had such an accurate analysis, and he was also thoughtful, which showed that he had already hit the road to prime minister. Immediately, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen. This king suddenly has a new idea! ”

The ministers were stunned. His Highness's thoughts were too jumpy, but he still bowed down and asked, "Your Highness will show you, and the ministers will listen!" ”

Wu Chu smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this king thought that since the state soldiers and townsmen are for the sake of local security, they also have the responsibility to protect one party's land, why not call them security guards?" In this way, it will be divided and ruled with the soldiers of the imperial court. Isn't there a clear division of responsibilities and a lot less trouble? What do you think? ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment. The name of this "security guard" is too strange, but if you can make the responsibilities clear and divide and rule, it does reduce a lot of trouble. All officials who are officials outside the country know that there are frequent conflicts between government soldiers and state soldiers, and the household registration of state soldiers and state soldiers is managed by each state, so that some people are both state soldiers and government soldiers, and sometimes because their responsibilities are not clear, they cause a lot of trouble.

It's just that there has never been a proper way to solve this kind of problem, and the state assassins have tried their best to avoid this kind of thing from happening, and even if it happens, they will turn a blind eye and fool the past. I really couldn't fool it, so I reported it to the court, and the prime minister figured out a way, but the prime minister was at a loss and pushed it to the emperor, and the emperor wanted the maid and thought about military affairs, how could he put such a small matter in his eyes, so he didn't do it.

But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually has a solution, but in this way, the imperial court will definitely set up an exclusive yamen, so that there will be a lot of official positions, but the burden of the imperial court will increase every year. Now that the conscription system is being implemented, a large amount of money and food is needed, and this is to divide and rule the state soldiers, so how much more do you have to increase?

Lou Shide has the most right to speak, he once carried out tuntian in Heyuan, and he knew very well how many soldiers the output of tuntian could support, so he stood up, bowed and said: "Your Highness, in this way, the imperial court will inevitably set up a yamen, and does this 'security guard' also have a salary like a recruit?" If this is the case, then the imperial court may not be able to afford it. ”

Wu Chu nodded and said: "What Xiang Lou said is the second issue that this king wants his ministers to discuss, improve the farming conditions, so that the grain yield per mu can increase, what this king hopes is that the grain can be doubled in three years compared to today, so that the security guards can divide and conquer can be realized." Moreover, the salaries of the newly recruited soldiers will also be settled one by one. Therefore, this king is willing to ask all ministers to think carefully about how to improve the farming conditions and increase the yield per mu. ”

If the ministers discuss their official positions, talk and laugh elegantly, evaluate the top brand in which flower house in Luoyang, or praise the female crown and art masterpiece, they will be like a few treasures. But it was difficult for them to discuss the improvement of farming conditions and the handling of agricultural affairs, which were the things that the farmer did.

Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of the ministers, and there was a slight look of confusion.

After Wu Chu saw the expressions of these ministers, he was stunned, what happened to these ministers? Then he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything wrong with what this king says?" Cause you to wait for such a color? ”

Suddenly, the ministers shook their heads and waved their hands, and said, "Your Highness, no, it's really that your ministers don't know what to do!" ”

Wu Chu was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he understood a little, and immediately stood up and said: "You can say that you can know astronomy and geography, and dare to ask if this agricultural matter is the prime minister's business?" ”

When the ministers saw the prince change color, they immediately bowed down and said, "Your Highness is angry, farming is indeed the prime minister's business. ”

Wu Chu suddenly said angrily: "Then since it is the prime minister's business, why is it such an expression?" ”

The prime minister stopped talking one by one, Wu Zheng looked at the science official, and was also a little angry, as a science official, he should understand the importance of "science and technology" better, he was a little disappointed, and slowly sat down.

Yao Yuanchong and other science officials glanced at each other, knowing that His Highness was angry, but he just couldn't bear it for a while, and if it happened, it would be the anger of thunder.

So, Ji Ji went out of his class and bowed down and said: "Your Highness, your subordinates think that although the prime minister pays attention to agricultural affairs, he should only persuade and supervise farmers, so that he can distract other things, and as for improving agricultural affairs, he should hand it over to someone who knows more about agricultural affairs." This minister's humble opinion, please think twice. ”

Wu Chu paused, "There is a specialization in the art industry", this is good, although the prime minister only plays a supervisory role, but if you don't know some agricultural things, how can you better formulate some agricultural strategies?

So, Wu Chu got up again and said: "There is some truth in Ji Zhongcheng's words, 'there is a specialization in the art industry', and this king also understands this. But, Prime Ministers, have you ever wondered what is the point of formulating a farming strategy if you don't know how to do farming? Your persuasion or supervision of the peasants is just a high-sounding excuse, so what good is it for farming? Maybe you will say that the prime minister has the affairs of the prime minister, and the prime minister should assist the king in the court and govern the world. But this king asks you, should the assistant king also have some handy knowledge? What are you ruling the world? Is it the people? ”

The ministers were suddenly a little frightened, and then bowed down and said, "What Your Highness said is very true, but the ministers are shallow. ”

Wu Chu didn't know how many of these courtiers really understood, but he continued: "The foundation of governing the people is nothing more than education and nurturing, and teaching is to make them know how to respect the inferior and understand the elders and the young, so that they can move towards civilization. Nurturing, then, is to let it survive, to be able to create a happy land, to make it survive. Then farming is the top priority, and if agriculture is slack, not to mention the failure of taxes by the imperial court, the people will starve to death. Therefore, this king advises you that a prime minister who does not know how to do art is not a good prime minister, so think about it. ”

In this way, Wu Chuan set the tone for his future court, that is, an official without expertise cannot become a prime minister. Of course, sycophants are excluded, and Wu Chuan wants to work hard to govern the country, and he will not use such people, at least he is very clear about this.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yao Yuanchong invited Yan Yuansun, Ji Ji and other science officials to the two sleeves of Qingfeng Building to gather, and now Song Jing has gone to Guangzhou to preside over the overall situation of the city's ship, so there is one less science official in the prime minister.

At this moment, in the private room of the two-sleeved Qingfeng Building, Yao Yuanchong and the other five people sat down, because His Royal Highness was angry today, they also had a depression in their hearts, so they all looked gloomy, no one spoke, and let the wine lady wave back after serving two pots of Qingfeng Brew.

For a long time, the five of them sat silent.

Yao Yuanchong sighed lightly and said, "Everyone, when Your Highness is angry today, do you feel wronged?" ”

The rest of the people all looked at Yao Yuanchong and did not speak.

Yao Yuanchong smiled bitterly in his heart, and said: "The main reason why Your Highness is angry today is that we and other scholars of science have not implemented Your Highness's thoughts. His Highness is a very serious man, and at least now it seems that he is a hard-working prince, and we have not lived up to His Highness's expectations, so His Highness is angry today. I called you here to get together, but I also want you to express your opinions, so that I can wait for your Highness to surprise you. Isn't it good for us in the future? ”

Ji Ji was originally very reluctant to come, but now Yao Yuanchong is using Xia Guan's book to inspect the history of the school, which shows that Yao Yuanchong's position in the eyes of the prince. Although he made a lot of contributions some time ago, Ji Ji also knew his own ability, so after some thought, he decided not to fight in front of His Highness. Otherwise, if His Royal Highness is unhappy, he will be the end of the imperial history.

"Actually, His Royal Highness wants me to wait for a hundred steps to go further, and I should not focus on official positions and women, but should have some practical expertise." Ji Ji said slowly.

Everyone can't help but have some strange colors, to be honest, there are very few men who are not lustful, it's just a shade of Cheng dù. Even Yan Yuansun, who has only one wife and one concubine so far, doesn't he have to love his wife and concubine every three or two days?

Therefore, Ji Ji's words just hit everyone, and for a while, the private room fell into silence again. (To be continued......)
