Before dawn, Fanning got up, and Ju Pei, who was sleeping beside him, whispered: "It's not dawn outside, so I'm not in a hurry to go to court, sleep a little longer." ”

"Today, I want to start implementing the first step of the change, and I want to go to the barracks early!"

Juppe reached out and gently stroked her husband's face, "Are you a little nervous?" ”

Fanning nodded, rubbing her hand lightly with his face, feeling the warmth of her hand.

"Go back to sleep! Ah Qian should have gotten up. ”

"I can't sleep either, you can help me."

Fanning sat up with his wife's back in his arms, Aya came in and put on her coat, and Zhu Pei supported her waist and said, "You go and wash the officials first, and the officials will go out early today." ”

Aya agreed, went out first, Fanning still had to support his wife, Ju Pei pushed him out and smiled: "Go quickly!" I take a little walk around the backyard and move around. ”

After Fan Ning finished freshening up, he came to Fan Ning for breakfast, Ouyang Qian had already served him porridge, and took two meat steamed buns and a few plates of vegetables.

Fan Ning saw that Ouyang Qian was a little unhappy, so he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Who you off. ”

"It's not your precious daughter, I cried all night last night, and it me off."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She is no longer satisfied with the two fawns, she has to raise a little monkey, and I scolded her, how dangerous the monkey is, can she raise it?"

Fanning thought for a while and said, "You can't raise monkeys, but you can raise a few hares, I heard that there are some sold on the street, so let the housekeeper buy two and come back." ”

"I've heard that hares bite too!"

Fan Ning smiled slightly, "You don't have a chance to bite it if you want to, you can't catch it at all, anyway, you just show it to her, and then put it on the mountain." ”

"You spoil her like this! Tomorrow she wants the moon, see what you do? ”

"Maybe I'm going out in a few days, and you tell her that Daddy is going to pick the moon for her, and I'll hit a small moon with silver for her when I go back."

Ouyang Qian was completely speechless.

........

It is a very troublesome and trivial matter to carry out the reform of the army, first of all, the 30,000 troops of Jingdong Road are deployed in the nine state capitals, and they have to go around just to confirm the number of people, so the Jingdong Road Military Office has been in full swing to prepare for refinement a few days ago.

First of all, it has set up relevant institutions, and the military management office has successively set up a decision-making department, a military participation department, an execution department, a supervision department, a warehouse battalion, and a gendarmerie battalion, with a total of four divisions and two battalions, of which the decision-making department is the highest authority body.

In addition to the seven officials, 50 more civil servants were transferred from the military office, and 1,000 elite soldiers were selected from the Yingtianfu Xiang Army to serve as military police.

The order to check out the soldiers over the age of 40 has been issued in the military camps in various localities, and the order to clean up the overage soldiers is carried out in three steps; first, the military camps in various localities will conduct self-inspections and compile an inventory, and then the executive department, the supervision department, and the gendarmerie battalions will be divided into nine groups and stationed in nine barracks to verify the age of the soldiers who have been left behind in the reorganization.

In the five large tents next to the big tent of the Chinese army, six scribes were divided into three groups and were checking the information of the soldiers one by one, and the information of each soldier was relatively sound, including age, place of household registration, family members, and so on, so it was relatively easy to check.

The three groups of clerks have a thick roster in their hands, one clerk reads the name, one clerk registers, and after all the registrations are completed, the roster is exchanged and checked, this work is relatively easy, and it can be completed in two days.

"Huang Wenrong, forty-four years old, fire chief, from Taomu Township, Feng County, Shanzhou, has been in the army for ten years......"

In addition to the compensation of 20 acres of land and 2 stone of rice per person for soldiers over the age of 40, there is also a military age allowance, which is basically a year's money.

If it is the fire chief, he will be compensated for 30 acres of land, like this Huang Wenrong, who has been in the army for ten years, then he will be compensated for ten guan money, because he is the fire chief, he can finally get 30 mu of land, two stone rice and ten guan money.

In addition, Wang Anshi put forward the criteria for the dismissal of low-level generals, and everyone discussed that low-level generals could be relaxed to 45 years old, including three military positions: charge secretary and team leader and team deputy, and the compensation was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

"Wang Ping, forty-seven years old, an ordinary soldier, a native of Shuxian County, Tianfu Valley, has been in the army for twenty-five years......."

Fan Ning, who was sitting next to him, frowned, and said to the scribe, "Show me this Wang Ping's information." ”

The clerk hurriedly took out the military card and handed it to Fan Ning, who looked at it, and the military card had turned yellow, at least for more than ten years.

He compared the chronology next to him, this Wang Ping was born in the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu, and Jingyou was in the army for three years, and after calculation, it happened to be twenty-five years in the army.

After being a soldier for twenty-five years, he is still an ordinary soldier, a typical old soldier, at this time, Lu Chunqiu next to him said in a low voice: "I know this soldier, he died five years ago." ”

Fanning suddenly understood, the person was gone five years ago, but the military was still issued, this was an empty soldier.

"How many empty soldiers are in Ying Tianfu's army, do you have a number?"

Lu Chunqiu said lightly: "There are two kinds of people in the army who know best, one is the commander, and the other is the household Cao official, like Li Han is the commander who just took over, maybe he doesn't necessarily know, but the six battalion commanders below him all have their own small accounts."

There is also the household Cao official, he is responsible for the hair, according to the regulations, he has to check the specific person's body, so he is also very clear. ”

Although Fanning does not plan to pursue the short-eating money now, it does not mean that he will not be held accountable in the future, if the amount is small, he will be exempted, and if the amount is large, he can return most of the money, and he can also be punished lightly or exempted.

But if the amount involved is large and they refuse to return it, then they must settle accounts after the autumn, and such moth-eaten generals will sooner or later become rotten points if they stay in the army.

Fanning thought about it, "Take me to the tent of the Hu Cao officials!" ”

........

Each military camp also has a corresponding six Cao officials and a chief officer to join the army, soldiers, households, gong, law, warehouse, work, docking to pacify the six Cao and the record to join the army, but the level of the six Cao in the military camp is relatively low, not even the nine rank officials, belong to the civil servants, so they are called six Cao officials.

Among the six Cao, the most important are the Hu Cao officials and the Cang Cao officials, one is in charge of the enlistment and retirement of specific soldiers and the monthly salary, etc., and the other is in charge of granary materials.

The household Cao official of the Tianfu military camp is called Lin Qian, a native of Shuxian County, Yingtianfu Valley, and is a fellow villager of Jiang Chenghua, the former commander of the capital, Jiang Chenghua was dismissed from his post and exiled, and the two commanders he promoted were also dismissed, because Lin Qian's position was too humble, but he escaped by luck.

At this time, he was assisting in the counting of overage soldiers, and at this time, a soldier stepped forward to say a few words to him, and he put down what he was doing and followed the soldier to the Chinese army's tent.

"Qi Qi appeases the envoy, the forest situation is here!"

Lin Jing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Fan Ning, "See the appeasement envoy!" ”

Fan Ning glanced at him, and saw that he was about thirty years old and not outstanding, so he asked, "You are the household official of the Yingtianfu camp?" ”

"The villain is exactly!"

Fan Ning said coldly: "You all command envoys told me that there are about two hundred empty soldiers in the Ying Tianfu battalion, you should have a list of them!" ”

Lin Guo has become extremely nervous because of this matter, Fan Ning revealed this matter in a word, so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowed again and again: "I am willing to withdraw the greedy empty money, and I beg to appease and spare my life!" ”

This was a bit unexpected by Fan Ning, he didn't want to check the specific generals who ate empty money now, he just wanted to get a list, but he didn't expect Lin Guo to take the initiative to ask for guilt, so he didn't need to threaten.

Fanning nodded, "If you want to get away with it, then you must make meritorious contributions, explain everything you know, spit out the greedy money, and I will allow you to retire and go home." ”

Lin Guan saw the hope, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to explain everything, and all the greedy money will withdraw." ”

"Let's talk about the empty money first, how did you get bribed?"

Lin Qian lowered his head and said: "I will count the increase and decrease of soldiers every month, and report to the pacification envoy, there has been no reduction in personnel in the past few years, in fact, everyone is reducing personnel, such as illness, too old to retire, accidental injury, desertion, etc., I have not reported."

At the beginning of each month, the normal dismissal of the military stipends, generally with Jiaozi, around the tenth, are commanded to approve the distribution of salaries, I deduct the vacant soldiers' salaries, and the other military salaries are taken away by the commanders of the battalions to be taken away and distributed normally, I don't care how to distribute them, whether there is a deduction from the military salaries has nothing to do with me, but more than 1,000 empty salaries per month are in my hands, I draw one percent, and the rest is handed over to the commanders of the battalions, and they distribute it themselves.

As far as I know, from the commander to the team leader and the charge division below, they have to supply the commander of the capital, and the commander takes the biggest head, the commander is second, and then the Hu Cao officials, and the team leader and the charge division can also get a few to dozens of times a month, depending on how many empty soldiers they have. ”

Fan Ning took a few steps, the situation was even more serious than he imagined, almost the whole army was corrupt, all the generals were involved, and generals like Li Han who were not greedy were simply rare.

"So, you draw at least 100 yuan a month?"

"Yes! I served for two years and took 2,500 yuan, which I didn't dare to use, so I saved it all. ”

"You go down first, first give me the list of empty soldiers, and then after the overage soldiers are checked, you hand over the greedy money to the Supervision Department, and then write a resignation application, and I will allow you to go home according to the compensation of the overage team."

"Thank you for your magnanimity!"
