Dai Feng's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, he thought that his words were completely considered to reduce the burden on the Liang army, and the feasibility was extremely high, but as soon as he put it forward, he was opposed by Xing Zhongshan, his face was a little ugly, he snorted lightly, and said in a deep voice: "What General Ben said, I have long had old precedents to follow, what's wrong?" ”

Xing Zhongshan chuckled, got up and arched his hand at Xu Liang and said, "My lord, the last general thinks that what General Dai said is extremely inappropriate. The results of the barracks tuntian, just look at the old and weak remnants of Anton Zhongwei. General Mo believed that even if he spent some money and food, he must maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, and if he trained a bunch of waste soldiers in order to save money, it was better not to raise them. ”

Seeing this, Dai Feng was very unwilling, and shouted with a red face and a thick neck: "The army Tuntian, I have a precedent in the court, as long as the training is strengthened, the combat strength of the soldiers can be maintained!" ”

Xing Zhongshan didn't give an inch, and asked rhetorically: "If three or five years later, if you bring out a team of hoe soldiers, will General Dai be able to afford to be offended?" ”

"You ......"

As if igniting gunpowder, Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan started an instant debate in the living room of the Xu Mansion on the pros and cons of the military camp Tuntian, and the two sides refused to give in and argued.

The others in the room looked at Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan in surprise. The generals of the Liang army, the impression of Huang Daozhou and He Cheng and others, have always been very united, like today's scene of the dispute in full swing, they are still the first time to meet, with the mentality of watching the excitement, several people from Zhenyuan County are determined to watch from the wall.

As for the rest of the Liang army, it is even more difficult to come forward to persuade them. One is the Pingliang guerrilla general specially invited by Xu Liang, and the other is the deputy general of the Liang army, both of whom are higher-level leaders, and they persuaded one party for fear of offending the other, so they simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. Silence.

Feng Suqin and Dai Yingying wanted to persuade them, but they were women and didn't know much about things in the army. It's even harder to get ahead.

However, there are still people who can calm the argument, that is, General Liang Jun, who sits on the throne. Pingliang and Tongzhi, Xu Liang Xu.

The people watching the excitement in the house all realized this and turned their eyes to Xu Liang.

They were surprised to find that Xu Liang didn't seem to be paying attention to the two sides of the quarrel in the hall, only to see him looking up at the beam of the house with his eyes unfocused, his lips slightly open and closed, as if muttering to himself.

Feng Suqin, who is familiar with Xu Liang, knows that his father-in-law is thinking about things again.

The quarrel between Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan became louder and louder. finally attracted Xu Liang's gaze.

Xu Liang waved his hand at the two and said, "Okay, the two generals don't have to fight!" ”

However, I don't know if the two were arguing too much or Xu Liang's voice was not loud enough. After Xu Liang said this, the other people in the room heard it clearly, and sat down with peace of mind to listen to Xu Liang's words, while Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan were still arguing-for-tat.

Xu Liang frowned and said again.

It didn't work.

Bang Dang! A teacup was thrown from Xu Liang's desk into the middle of the two arguing people in the hall, and smashed to the ground, splashing tea everywhere. Porcelain shards are flying everywhere!

Dai Jian and Xing Zhongshan were startled, retreated sharply, and turned their heads to look in the direction of the source of the teacup. I saw Xu Liang Tie blushing and staring at them.

"Have the two generals quarreled enough?" Xu Liang's voice was unhurried, but it had a cold taste. "If you don't quarrel enough, keep arguing, Lao Tzu has time to accompany you."

Trouble! Lord Xu is really angry! Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan instantly understood this, and snorted coldly at each other, and both bowed their hands and said:

"The last general will not dare!"

"It's good if you don't dare!" Xu Liang didn't have a smile on his face, and said, "Since the two of you are done arguing, then please sit down." Listen to what the official has to say. ”

"Yes!" Dai Feng and Xing Zhongshan answered, carefully finding their seats. Sit down gently.

Xu Liang groaned and glared at Dai Jian. glared at Xing Zhongshan again, and said, "General Dai and General Xing are both the mainstays of our Liang army, the general who commands the army. And the two of them are also a lot of old people, why are they still so uncomposed, fighting like a young offspring? No level, no taste, no vegetarian zhì! Here, I would like to make a severe criticism of the two of you! ”

"The last general knows that he is wrong!" Seeing this, Xing Zhongshan first took the initiative to admit his mistake.

Dai Feng saw that Xing Zhongshan had admitted his mistake, and hurriedly followed suit: "The last general also knows that he is wrong." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Liang had a slight smile on his face, looked at the two of them, and persuaded bitterly: "The two generals must remember in the future that people at your level must learn to be reasonable!" Reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason! Now, I'm going to reason with you. ”

Xu Liang said: "What General Dai and General Xing said has different starting points, each has its own reason, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. ”

Vaguely, Dai Feng snorted lightly and glanced at Xing Zhongshan defiantly.

"I've thought about it." Xu Liang said solemnly: "The Liang army camp, Tuntian still has to be tun, one is to reserve grain and grass, and the other is to supplement the military salary. ”

"What your lord says is very true!" Dai Feng hurriedly said in a loud voice.

Xing Zhongshan snorted unconvinced, and his face was a little ugly.

Xu Liang said again: "However, you can't send troops during war and farm in your spare time like other guards. Our Liang Army's tuntian must implement a rotation system, with four seasons a year, with one battalion being in charge of tuntian affairs in one season, and the rest of the battalions conducting drills and training on time. At the end of the first season, other battalions will be replaced to be responsible for the affairs of the tuntian, so that the tuntian and training will not be delayed. ”

Xing Zhongshan's face turned from gloomy to clear, and he grinned and said: "In the end, the adults still have ideas, so that the soldiers brought out will not be like those waste soldiers who can only farm the land." ”

Dai Feng knew that Xing Zhongshan's words were more or less for himself, and he was a little unconvinced, but thinking that this was an idea put forward by Xu Liang himself, after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with it, so he stopped refutating it sullenly.

Huang Daozhou, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, stroked his palms and smiled: "Lord Xu's plan is much more clever than ordinary Tuntian, if it can really be implemented in this way, it is really a big initiative." ”

Xu Liang smirked. The secret path is still Lao Tzu's way. Then he ordered someone to take out the map of Pingliang Mansion, and discussed with everyone and selected two places near the two cities of Jingzhou and Guyuan as the Tuntian place of the Liang army, plus the Jitou Mountain outside the Zhenyuan City, there were three Liang army bases.

After discussing everything, Mao Yujie was sent back to prepare for the establishment of the Taxation Bureau. Xu Liang rested for one night, and early in the morning, he led people to the palace of the governor of the three sides of Guyuan City to inquire about the situation of the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang.

Hong Chengchou, who was still in the governor's palace, heard that Pingliang had arrived with Xu Liang, so he summoned Xu Liang to the second hall for a meeting.

Xu Liang inquired about Governor Wu's condition, and heard that Governor Wu had been sober once last night, drank some gruel, and gradually showed signs of improvement, so he couldn't help but relax slightly. After greeting Hong Chengchou for a while, he told Hong Chengchou that he wanted to collect a wartime tax in Pingliang Mansion to ask Hong Chengchou's opinion.

Hong Chengchou's face was solemn when he heard this, and he looked at Xu Liang, who was eagerly looking forward to it, and said very cautiously: "Increasing the wartime tax to the merchants is not a trivial matter, and Lord Xu must consider it carefully." This decision must not be made unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Xu Liang lowered his face and smiled bitterly at Hong Chengchou: "Lord Hong, it is really helpless for the lower officials to make this decision. There is no time for the court to send troops to recover Pingliang, and the thieves have been raging Pingliang for more than two months. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded slowly, looked at Xu Liang, and said: "Having said that, this matter is really a big matter, according to the official's opinion, Lord Xu may wish to convene the magistrates of Pingliang prefectures and counties to discuss this matter together." ”

"Okay," Xu Liang nodded slowly, and then asked, "What ......about the Governor's Yamen?"

Hong Chengchou chuckled and said: "At the moment, Lord Governor is not fully awake, so it is not appropriate to disturb, but Lord Xu can rest assured that as long as there is no opinion within Pingliang Mansion on the matter of levying wartime taxes, this official will explain the situation to Lord Wu at that time." Master Wu is skilled in government affairs, and he will definitely agree. ”

"In this way, then the lower officials will thank Lord Hong." Xu Liang said sincerely.

"Hey, why does Lord Xu want to see the outside like this," Hong Chengchou chuckled: "Lord Xu wants to recover Pingliang as soon as possible, that is a feat for the benefit of the people of Pingliang, and this official will definitely support it!" ”

Xu Liang thanked him again and again, said goodbye to Hong Chengchou, and returned to Zhenyuan City, but arranged for someone to send a notice to the prefectures and counties under the rule of Pingliang Mansion, summoning the governors of all prefectures and counties to hold a meeting at the mansion of Xu Mansion in Zhenyuan City.
