Chapter 126: School Use

"My lord, you must not do this unreasonable strategy!" Chase rarely spoke to Wu Yingying with such a red face, and he almost pulled out his sword to admonish him.

A few days after Wu Yingying arrived in Lanzhou, Shi Gongda also escorted the 4,000 Hermes-Epitek delivered by the Xiazhou Party to return safely, and a total of 15,500 Hermes-Epitek were redeemed, including more than 11,000 men and more than 4,000 healthy women. There were originally many soldiers and few people in the city of Lanzhou, and Chase was a lieutenant of the Tooth Military Academy, and Wu Yingying often let him take charge of civil affairs on weekdays, and he was also diligent. On this day, Wu Yingying raised the account to discuss the resettlement of the households, and Chase was eager to repay some countermeasures for the resettlement of the Han people. Wu Yingying first announced an unbelievable plan, the more than 15,000 mouths of Dingkou were all distributed to the sergeants, and if it was the sergeant's cute household, whether it was ploughing or grazing, the cute household would hand over thirty percent of the production to the sergeant, and the sergeant would hand over thirty percent of the materials to the ten-captain, and the ten-captain would hand over thirty percent to the centurion, and finally the captains of each battalion would give three of the collected materials to Xiao Jiu's baggage battalion to manage. The original residents of Lanzhou City were solely registered as merchants, which were under the jurisdiction of the state government, and they were subject to commercial taxes or commercial taxes, and did not have to be protected by sergeants.

"In the future, Lanzhou's power will be large, the number of civilian households will increase, and the number of cute households led by ordinary military households can increase to twenty, and it will not work further, and the sergeants will not have the ability to take care of it. Wu Yingying explained to Chase casually.

"My lord, the people have received the grace of the lord to get out of the miserable situation of being enslaved by foreign races, how can the lord bear it, and turn them into slaves of the sergeant!" Chase said loudly.

"It's not a slave, it's a moe. Wu Yingying corrected softly, it was really not easy to explain to him clearly, "I will set up ten envoys to protect the people, if there are military households who bully and oppress the people, the people can appeal to the people protectors." By the way, this year, let's select the protectors from your barracks, and when you go back, you will recommend ten clear-minded officers to me. ”

Chase reluctantly bowed his hand, and continued: "Even if you set up ten tribunes, how can you picket so many soldiers, my lord, you are in a situation of injustice. Before he could continue arguing, Wu Yingying interrupted him and said, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

"In accordance with the imperial court system, the household registration of the people should be compiled, and the state government should manage the households and pay taxes to support the army. Chase said confidently.

Wu Yingying shook his head and said: "This is a law, but when this is an extraordinary time, it may not be effective." Let me ask you, if the Great Song Dynasty, which claims to be Zhengshuo, comes to crusade, will the people fully support our Lanzhou army in the battle?"

Chase nodded firmly, and said: "The adults have relieved the people of the upside down, and those who have a little conscience know about Entubao, how can the people turn their backs on the adults for the sake of that righteous name." ”

Wu Yingying shook his head, people's hearts are happy and comfortable, evil and hard work, if the war is lingering, the people will complain, hoping that the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will bring them peace and prosperity, he does not argue with Chase here, and said: "You also understand people, once the tax is paid by the state capital, the officials are up and down, and there is a lot of loss, and it is not uncommon for the local officials to collude with the township, and it is not uncommon for the people to fish and flesh." If the sergeants directly lead the households, one is the integration of the military and the government, Lanzhou can raise a lot of yamen idlers, the second is that the military households have gained real profits, and they should rise up to serve the heart, and the third is that all the households and our Lanzhou army have become one, and in the future when the war is urgent, every labor force in Lanzhou can give the greatest effect to resist the enemy. ”

Such a militaristic system, whether from the city-states of Athens and Sparta, the feudal lords of Western Europe, or the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, is the most able to mobilize all social forces, every drop of blood, every grain of rice, and every piece of iron can be squeezed to the extreme. The enemy that Lanzhou will face in the future is too strong to force it to adopt this system. Historically, the country is rich and strong, but it is unable to mobilize a huge national strength and there are many cases of the country's death, Lanzhou currently has three strong enemies of the Song and Liao Party on the side, because of the butterfly effect, the time of the rise of the strong Mongols does not know whether it will be advanced, so it has to be overkill, and the death of China can not be reproduced. However, this consideration is inconvenient for Chase and other explanations.

"The adults are considerate of the sergeant, it is really like reborn parents, and we have three thousand brothers in the Tuhun army, and we feel the same virtue. "Tuhun military academy captain Shi Gongda, Yu Furenliang and others listened to Wu Yingying talk about the method of assigning the households to the sergeants, when the real flowers, according to the old system of sergeants in addition to the imperial court to pay military salaries, there is only a reward for fighting, compared with other ordinary people, although the life is happy, there is always an inexplicable sense of wandering, at this moment, the people are in the household, the sharp-minded Tuhun military academy captain immediately thought, after that, the sergeants are like the landlords and gentry in the countryside. What Wu Yingying said is not only to collect 30% of the tax, but the people have become the budding households of the soldiers, so the soldiers have a certain right to govern, although there are still the constraints of the state and county yamen, officers at all levels can also be said to be on the horse to govern the army, off the horse to govern the people, the weight of power, compared with the previous is really a world of difference. Seeing Chase's opposition, the lieutenants of the Tuhun Army hated him to the fullest, and hurriedly expressed their full support for Wu Yingying's proposal.

"Don't be happy too early for you to wait," Wu Yingying pursed his lips, seeing that the faces of these lieutenants were about to bloom with a smile, knowing what they were thinking in their hearts, did they all want to be festival envoys? In addition to the right to collect 30% of the tax, the soldier also has the power to judge the disputes between the households under his rule, and the disputes between the households involve less than 30 yuan, and the punishment is less than 15 lashes, and the disputes between the households under the same sergeant can be judged by himself, and the disputes between the households under the rule of different sergeants are judged by the officers who have the control of the sergeants on both sides, but there are those who involve the laws and regulations of the imperial court. If the military households do not follow the law and arbitrarily decide the case, and the people report to the civil protector and find out that it is true, they will be punished.

In addition, the private household has no obligation to the sergeant, does not have to serve the sergeant, and does not have to obey the sergeant's orders for other things. In the first year, I asked Chase to elect ten tribunes from the Ya barracks, and in the second year, the households to which each battalion belonged were elected by themselves. When the lieutenants heard him say this, they said in their hearts that since they have the right to adjudicate, there is no obligation of obedience on the faces of the people, and they don't have to look at the faces of the sergeants all the time to behave? It's just that this protector is led by you, and he is in charge of the affairs of the military households and oppresses the people, so it is like an eagle dog raised by an adult. Moreover, in the future, the protector will be elected by the people themselves, and they will inevitably be the people who are highly respected by the people, and they will have a deep foundation among the people, and they will have to be supported by commanders, so they will really become a force to check and balance the military households. Further down, everyone didn't dare to think about it, but they just looked at Wu Yingying's eyes with a little more awe.
