Listening to Zhenwu's words, he turned his head and cut into the stall on the grounds of releasing the shackles of craftsmen, Yinxi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, is this step too big? Now Jiangnan is implementing the paving into the mu, Shanxi is trying to implement the new policy, and the Beijing newspaper and Ningbao are making a fuss about this.

The fifteenth Qing Beile Yinyu didn't think much about it, he could be described as blindly obedient to Zhenwu, and Zhenwu, who listened to it, went to the Beijing newspaper, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Brother obeys the order." ”

Seeing that the old fifteen spoke, Yinxi didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly followed: "The ministers obey the order." Raising his body, he said tentatively: "Your Majesty, for the preferential treatment of Japanese craftsmen, are they allowed to bring their families?" ”

After a moment of deep silence, Zhen Wucai nodded and said: "Ten years is not a short time, even a slave cannot extinguish his human desire, all young and strong people are allowed to carry a family member, but the family member cannot be regarded as a head, for craftsmen, they can carry all family members, and give them a salary of five stone rice per year, and there is another reward for good performance." ”

Are all young people allowed to bring their families? A few people couldn't help but be stunned, didn't this add 150,000 mouths out of thin air, even Yinxi was quite surprised, why would the old fourteen suddenly be kind? Does it mean that these women are relied on to open up the wasteland and farm?

Zhenwu glanced at everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "Allowing family members is not only conducive to population reproduction, but also conducive to the management of the Japanese people, and is conducive to the peace of mind of the Japanese people.

On the other hand, for the management of the Japanese people, all the princes and nobles are very proficient, and there is no need to repeat it, I remind that it is necessary to disperse the resettlement and strengthen the assimilation of cultural customs, so as not to leave hidden dangers for the future. ”

Hearing this, Yinxi couldn't help but feel relieved, it is indeed much easier to manage with a family. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Nodding slightly. Zhen Wucai looked at Nian Qianyao and said: "The garrison of the Wa State is the first time that the Qing Dynasty has stationed troops in a vassal country, and this move is not only to promote the prestige of our Qing army and obtain the effect of deterrence and deterrence, but also to control the vassal state through the garrison."

The garrison of the New Guard was related to the image of the Qing Dynasty. The image of the new army must be strictly ordered, military discipline must be strict, training must be strict, orders must be strict, and the interests of the Qing Dynasty in the country must be resolutely protected. Including the interests of the garrison, the interests of the 'Four Constants', the interests of the merchants, and the interests of the people of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, it is necessary to collect all kinds of information on the Japanese state, such as political economy, culture and customs, climate and geography, mineral deposits, and the distribution of troops. Another. You are also responsible for the annual intake and export of labor. ”

Nian Qianyao was overjoyed to hear it. The more errands you do, the more room you have to play. The new army stationed in the Japanese guard is so wide that it is definitely more powerful than the garrison of the Eight Banners, he hurriedly got up and knelt down and said, "The slave obeys the order." After speaking, he raised his body and said, "Your Majesty, the number of new troops stationed in the Japanese Guards is limited, and it is difficult for men to cover everything, can you increase the number of troops a little." ”

Zhenwu glanced at him and said, "The current strength is tense, this matter will be discussed later, you first manage the garrison, and you must also get along with the navy." ”

Hearing Zhenwu's words, Nian Qianyao was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

Zhenwu bowed his head slightly and said: "You and Zheng Shichang go down to negotiate how to protect the safety of the 'Four Great Hengs' in the Wa Kingdom, and kneel down first." ”

Nian Qianyao and Zheng Shichang, who were waiting, bowed down and withdrew, Zhen Wucai glanced at Yinxi, Yinxiang and the other four brothers, and said with a smile: "There are no outsiders, there is no need to be formal, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Yinxiang bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the new army of the Praetorian Guard has expanded this time, and the children of the Eight Banners are quite enthusiastic, and the ministers sincerely pray that the emperor can slightly relax the recruitment conditions. ”

As soon as he heard what Lao Thirteen said about this, even though he decided to take the hot iron, he hurriedly followed and said: "Your Majesty, the livelihood problem of the Eight Banners has just improved in recent years, and if it continues to raise its nationality on a large scale, the ministers and others are worried that the livelihood of the bannermen will plague the imperial court again, and it is even worse than before. ”

Zhenwu took a sip of tea, glanced at Yinyu and Yinli, and then smiled and said, "What do the fifteenth and seventeenth brothers think about this?" ”

Yinyu and Yinli didn't expect Zhenwu to ask the two of them, and they groaned slightly, and then Yinyu bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers don't understand military affairs, but in view of the fact that the Eight Banners' cavalry and archery are becoming more and more relaxed, the courtiers are not in favor of relaxing the recruitment conditions, and they must let the Eight Banners understand that wearing armor and eating is not exclusive to the Eight Banners' children, so that it will help to urge the Eight Banners to strengthen their training on weekdays."

As for the livelihood of the banner people, the Manchu and Han marriages and the expansion of the new army of the Praetorian Guard are all on a large scale, and the younger brothers secretly think that the salaries of the new soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are high, and the recruits are raised to their status, and they have military salaries to receive, and there is no need to worry about livelihood problems for more than ten years. ”

Listening to the words of the old fifteen, Yinxi and Yinxiang couldn't help but be quite surprised, they really didn't see it on weekdays, this little silent old fifteen was still quite knowledgeable.

Yinli followed and bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, although the new army of the Praetorian Guard is a start-up, but the combat power is far from being comparable to the Green Battalion of the Eight Banners, and it is only a matter of time before the Eight Banners are replaced. ”

Yin Xi's heart jumped when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance at the old thirteen, the old seventeen has been following the old thirteen all this time, is the old thirteen also worried that the Han military flag will not fall off in the future?

"That's a good point." Zhenwu glanced at the two of them with great pleasure, nodded and said: "It is an inevitable trend for the new Praetorian Guard to replace the Eight Banners, it is impossible for the imperial court to support four large-scale armies for a long time, the Eight Banners Green Battalion will be gradually reduced and reduced, and it will become a full-time garrison army stationed in the local area, and the Praetorian New Army will bear the heavy responsibility of defending the Beijing division and foreign conquests. ”

Hearing this, Yinxi and Yinxiang were all nervous in their hearts, Zhenwu's meaning was already clear, he wanted to break the Eight Banners military system through the Praetorian New Army, and absorbing people into the Praetorian New Army was just the beginning, the four of them had no bottom in their hearts, the Eight Banners military system was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, what would the Qing Dynasty look like if it broke or even abolished the Eight Banners military system?

Yinxiang is familiar with military affairs, and has a deep understanding of the navy and the new Praetorian Guard, so naturally he thought of the navy from the Praetorian New Army, the Praetorian New Army is a large number of recruits carried into the flag of the Han Army, and Zhenwu single-handedly created, the most trusted, the prestige, and the royal navy with brilliant achievements has always been the same, and has not mentioned the matter of raising the nationality at all, what is the reason for this?

After a slight pause, Zhenwu glanced at the four of them, but asked in a different tone: "Tell me, the larger the scale of the Eight Banners and the greater the number of banner people, the more stable the country of the Qing Dynasty will be?" ”

Listening to such a simple question, Yinxi, Yinxiang, Yinyu, and Yinli couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and after a little heaning, Yinxi said: "Back to the emperor, the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the larger the scale, the more numerous, the more stable the Qing Dynasty is, however, the number of flag people is too large, the livelihood of the flag people is more tricky, and the more people, the more difficult it is to work together. ”

"A small number of people does not necessarily mean that there is a united heart." Zhenwu said disapprovingly, groaning slightly, before he continued: "The issue of the livelihood of the banner people, I think about it a lot, a family of six or seven, can not just rely on one person to wear armor and receive a salary to make a living, such as today's peace, the livelihood of the people is getting better day by day, and the banner people should also rise to the top, otherwise how can the kindness of the court be demonstrated?"

Nowadays, the new Navy's Praetorian Guard is constantly expanding, and the amount is increasing day by day, and the demand for logistical military supplies such as military uniforms, belts, hoods, shoes, and water bottles and satchels is also increasing, and there are also necessary clocks, pencils, glass, binoculars and other items necessary for officers must also be self-reliant.

I pondered the expansion of the military workshop in Tianjin, and chose a site near Beijing to build a large-scale military logistics workshop, and recruited flag men to work in the army workshop to improve the livelihood of the flag people. ”

As soon as he heard this, Yinxi understood that Zhenwu was going to build a workshop on a large scale, what kind of military workshop was just a disguise, since even clocks and glass were considered military supplies, what else had nothing to do with the army? No wonder he dared to expand the Eight Banners on a large scale, and he didn't worry about the livelihood of the bannermen.

Yinxiang was shocked, he was completely sure that Zhenwu through the Manchu and Han marriages and the Janissary New Army wantonly raised the people to this so-called large-scale military logistics workshop, the number of bannermen in the Beijing division is the largest, but Zhenwu is still insufficient, wantonly raising the flag to naturalize, how big will the big one in his mouth be?

For the military workshop, Yinxiang is very familiar, knowing that military logistics is all-encompassing, and the military logistics workshop in Zhenwu's mouth will certainly not be limited to the needs of the navy and the new army, and the banner people will also be infinitely magnified to work in the military workshop, so that the livelihood of the flag people really does not need to worry.

After a little hesitation, Yinxi said tentatively: "Your Majesty, will this leave the truth of competing with the people for profit?" Will it arouse strong opposition from the Eight Banners? ”

"There has been a law for the banner people to join the army workshop, what are they against?" Zhenwu said disappreliantly: "Take cloth as an example, the military uniforms and various strips of the Navy and the New Guard Army need strong, wear-resistant and thick fabrics and even special fabrics, and the fabrics on the market cannot be met at all, and they must do it themselves, who can have any opinions?"

Besides, all munitions will be gradually promoted, and the feudal states of the Americas and Africa are also indispensable, and the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners can be said to be the beneficiaries, how can they oppose it?

As for competing with the people, there will definitely be an impact, and the impact will not be small, this is inevitable, what the court can do is to increase support and help them transition, this situation will not appear in the short term, there is no need to worry about it too early.
