Chapter 792: The Lang Army and the Agricultural Reclamation Construction Corps
Tang Yi went home so shamelessly....
What happened at home that night, outsiders naturally don't know, but the next day looking at Tang Yi's face, it is not difficult to guess....
It is not a good thing for these three wives to marry together. This night was not light to be tossed by three ladies.... The circles under the eyes are all dark.
It's a pity that Cao Lao Er doesn't sympathize with this thing at all, according to his cheap appearance yesterday, he deserves to suffer.
Besides, yesterday about the Shi family brothers and the 20,000 forbidden army, are you still waiting for him to make an idea?
Aren't you capable? Didn't you say that there was a trick? It's up to you, then.
....

"Fuck this deal is a loss!"
At this time, our Mad King, His Royal Highness, is standing on the beach with his hands behind his back. The mouth is not dry and scolding.
Shi Quanhai and Shi Quan'an on the opposite side didn't dare to collide openly, but they were secretly spelling in their hearts!
"If you have the ability, you let us go back to Beijing!" They wish that the madman would let them go!
Behind them, 20,000 forbidden troops, one left and one right, were divided into 20,000 teams.
On the one hand, they can still see that they are all young soldiers, even if they are wilted and have no energy at all, but they can be used for good training.
But the other side is not good. It's all grandpa soldiers with wrinkled faces.
Some even have gray hair, and their waists are almost straight.... The big gun and pestle in his hand were used as crutches there, and they all said that the forbidden army was weak, how could such a soldier fight?
"Damn, the official family has a good calculation!"
"If we send a compilation of 50,000 yuan, the result will be 10,000 usable, and we have to make up the remaining 40,000 ourselves..."
Cao Lao Er pouted beside him, "You don't want to make up for it, what is the situation below, the official family is like a mirror in his heart." I made up the weird. ”
"Where's that?" Tang Yi's eyes stood up, "If the army under Lao Tzu also has a vacancy, it is not enough to be ashamed to pass it out!" ”
Beckoning to the Shi family brothers, "Come here!" ”
The two leaned over, "What does Your Highness command?" ”
Tang Yi wrung his brows: "They are all people who understand, give me a real foundation, how much is the actual salary in your hands?" ”
"Uhhhh
Why did the Tang madman still ask about this?
Everyone knows about empty salaries, but you can't talk about it on the table. It's also too straightforward.
The two of them muttered, what does the madman Tang mean? Do you want a piece of the pie or do you want to grab the handle of the Shi family?
"Don't be like a." Tang Yi spoke out with great disdain, and at a glance, he could guess what the two brothers were thinking.
"First, Lao Tzu really doesn't like your two little money, and I don't want to scrape your land."
"Second, we don't have the heart to care about the you have to do with the door."
"As much as you want!"
"This..."The two of them glanced at Cao Lao Er in unison, and said in their hearts, you are also from Jiangmen, and the Cao family has not eaten less, can you say it in the end.
Cao Jue Yile said, Zihao is his own person, and there is nothing to hide. ”
"Huh!" Shi Quanhai gritted his teeth and said it! "Back to Your Highness, 30,000!"
"Damn!"
Tang Yi scolded his mother directly.
"Just 30,000?"
"Just 30,000!"
That is to say, the food and salary of 50,000 people from the Sanya branch will be pulled down layer by layer, and there will be 30,000 left at the Duyu waiting layer.
Speaking from the heart, Tang Yi had expected this,
The Great Song Dynasty forbidden army ate empty salaries, but it was not a simple matter of how much money a person embezzled. That has reached the advanced level of strict organization, division of labor between the upper and lower levels, and scientific management.
Starting from the three divisions allocating food and expenses to the three departments of the military department according to the source of the registered soldiers, they peeled down layer by layer. From the commanders of the three yas, to the commanders of the army, everyone has a share.
From the general as a supervisor, the weapons supervisor, the capital water supervisor, the three divisions, the Weiwei Temple, the Imperial City Division, the three guard officers, the forbidden army battalions, each of them is fat.
The food and salary of 50,000 people, before it left the warehouse, was picked up by the three divisions and sent to the hands of the three yas, and it was not 50,000.
The head of the three yamen picks up a few layers, and then goes down, specifically to which yamen to pick up a few more layers, which army picks up again... From the army to the compartment and then pickup....
To put it bluntly, when it comes to the Shi brothers, it is 50,000 to 30,000, and what if they want to get more oil and water? The only way to do this is to reduce the real amount and leave more vacancies for greater benefits.
For example, now, there are 20,000 people in hand, but they receive a salary of 30,000 yuan, and the extra 10,000 yuan will naturally be theirs.
But Tang Yi didn't expect it to be so bad.... When you get to Shi Quanhai, there are only six left.
Seeing that Tang Yi's face was getting worse and worse, Shi Quanhai hurriedly explained...
"It's scraped too hard, and we can't help it...."
"Besides, this 10,000 empty salary didn't go into our brothers' pockets, and there are a bunch of brothers below who have to take care of it..."
"Alright, alright!" Tang Yi was too lazy to listen to him cry poorly. "It's 30,000 yuan, and Lao Tzu has to give him a salary of 20,000 people!?"
"Your Highness!!" Shi Quanhai was also anxious when he heard this: "Be merciful!" ”
And the Tang madman didn't plan to leave it for them? and the thirty thousand wages were credited to his account.
"It's not easy for our brothers, if we don't have this vacancy, we will all have to drink the northwest wind."
"Look at your little bit of breath!" Tang Yi glared at Shi Quanhai angrily, "Otherwise, your Shi family's eyelids are too shallow, and there is no future!" ”
"But ask around the Great Song Dynasty, has Lao Tzu treated his own people badly?"
"Uh..."Shi Quanhai was stagnant, what do you mean? Another benefit from the mad king?
He couldn't figure it out, but his younger brother Shi Quanan was much more upright than him.
As soon as Tang Yi said this, he was overjoyed in an instant, and even threw his thoughts about looking forward to slipping away!
Clenched his fist at Tang Yi! "Your Highness's love, my two brothers, thank you!"
"Hey....." Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, still angry at Shi Quanhai.
"Your brother is an understanding person, better than you!"
looked at Shi Quanan again and ordered: "Gather the generals above the battalion level, I have something to say in a while." ”
After speaking, he walked to the side and waited.
Shi Quanhai here made Tang Yi a little stunned, and looked at Shi Quanan in a daze, "What do you mean?" The Mad King will fill that gap for us? ”
Shi Quanan rolled his eyes and was convinced, what he said was so clear, why didn't he, a stupid brother, understand?
"Brother, whether you make up for it or not is another matter, the most important thing in Your Highness's words is the three words 'your own people'!"
"Oh..."Shi Quanhai nodded....
jumped out of a sentence, and almost didn't make Shi Quanan angry! "He can quite say, who is his 'own person'?"
Shi Quanan was completely speechless...
It seems that this stupid brother really doesn't understand at all!
The two brothers were detained, and their father's situation in the capital was immediately embarrassing, in such a delicate period, when his father wavered, how much weight did Tang Yi's sentence weigh on his own people? It's clearly sticking out your thighs for you to hold!
Said helplessly: "Look at the Cao Pan family, Wang Yang's four families." The third brother always understands the difference between his own people, right!? ”
After speaking, he didn't talk nonsense with this stupid brother, and according to Tang Yi's instructions, he went to gather the generals of each battalion.
Shi Quanhai stood there and thought about it for a long time...
Finally, my eyes widened! chased after the fifth brother and turned over, "Are you saying that our Shi family can also be like Cao Pan's family, rich and oily?" ”
....
————————
Tang Yi looked at Shi Quanhai's back from a distance, and whispered to Cao Jue, "This third child of the Shi family, does he have any real skills?" It's a little stunned..."
Cao Lao Er said: "Shi Quanhai is not very good at using his brain, but because of this, he is much more real than his younger brother, and when it comes to the art of using soldiers, it is not a mediocre hand." ”
Tang Yi nodded, "That's not bad, stay and bring those 10,000 young people." Draw out his brother. ”
Cao Jue didn't feel strange when he heard this, and tilted his head to look at Tang Yi with a playful smile:
"Some people are not right...."
"What do you mean?"
Cao Lao Er said: "Aren't you holding a grudge against the official family's arrangement?" Why did he still post money and dedication, and even the hat of 'his own person' was buttoned up to the Shi family? ”
If this word is transmitted back to Beijing, the Shi family will not be able to run even if they want to.
“....”
Tang Yi was silent for a long time...
"Two different things!"
"Cut~!" Cao Jue scoffed, this guy still can't let go! But I want to be hard-mouthed!
....
————————
After a while, the Shi brothers came over with a group of battalion generals.
Tang Yi doesn't talk nonsense.
"Who is in charge of munitions? Come out one. ”
"The last general!" A middle-aged general came out of the crowd, "The last general is the captain of the grain and grass of the Hongwu Army, temporarily in charge of the five armies." ”
"Hmm." Tang Yi responded and ordered directly.
"In the past few days, you have rebuilt the real amount of 20,000 yuan, and it is not divided into five armies, and all young and strong soldiers under the age of forty are all in one book, regardless of military division."
"The old and weak soldiers over the age of forty will be included in the same volume, regardless of military division."
"This...."The grain and grass captain was stunned, a little embarrassed... Five armies become two armies? This is a private change to the military system, can the above agree?
Tang Yi ignored him and continued to talk to himself.
"In the future, the food and salary of the young and strong soldiers will be distributed according to the standard of the Yama King Camp of the Beijing Division,"
"The old and weak soldiers, the original salary will not move, and there shall be no deficit!"
"......." The general was stunned again, thinking that he had heard it wrong...
This time, I subconsciously looked at the Shi brothers....
Young and strong are paid according to the standard of the Hades camp? Who doesn't know that the Hades camp is three times as much as the forbidden army! According to the standard of the mad king, where can there be so much money?
"Don't look at him! Look at me! Tang Yi glared and pointed to his feet! Here, Lao Tzu has the final say! ”
The general shrank his neck, and Shi Quanan also flattered at the right time: "Since you stay in Yazhou, you will listen to Your Highness in the future, and you must not disobey!" ”
"The last general obeys..."
"Well, let's go down and do it quickly!" Shi Quan's voice was fierce, and after speaking, he smiled and said to Tang Yi, "What else does Your Highness have to say?" ”
"Gather the young and strong of the five armies into one army, and temporarily name it the Lilang Army" (Yalong Bay is also called Lilang Bay)
"Your Highness can't..."Shi Quanhai jumped out again....
"Don't talk, listen to me!"
Shi Quanhai's face turned bitter, "But the five armies have become one army, and we can't care about the imperial court's salary..."
Tang Yi scolded in his heart, you are so much out of your eyes!
"You don't have to take care of anything else, the holy decree, the establishment, and the salary Lao Tzu will naturally make it clear to you, so that you can take office justifiably!"
"Well... All right. Shi Quanhai nodded stupidly, thinking that everything in his heart let this madman guess.
"What about the remaining 10,000 old and weak soldiers? Also incorporated into the Lang Army? ”
"No!" Tang Yi shook his head directly: "The remaining 10,000 old and weak soldiers, for the time being, put away the ordnance and armor, and leave the Lang Army for backup." ”
"After the reorganization, for the time being..."
"For the time being, let's call it: Hainan Agricultural Reclamation Construction Corps"
"Ahh .... Reclamation?
Shi Quanhai was stunned again, and for a while he forgot to talk to Tang Yi about what the corps was. shouted: "Your Highness doesn't want our soldiers to farm for you, right?" "Why did you put all the swords and armor on?
"That's right!" Tang Yi's eyes stood up! "The old man who farms the land is idle and old!"
"That's... You can't do that, Your Highness. Shi Quanhai's face was constipated, "That... You collected the empty salary for us, and we can't explain it to our brothers, so we have drawn 10,000 soldiers to farm for you..."
"Then, if there is no benefit at all, who will give us their lives?"
Tang Yi rolled his eyes! This product can't be found in the eyes of money.
I really don't have the heart to talk nonsense with him. "Where's the Captain of Grain and Grass?"
"The last general!"
"In the name of the Agricultural Reclamation Construction Corps, build an account book, and in the future, half of all the output of the Agricultural Reclamation Corps will be handed over to the treasury of the Third Division. The other half is your own, and you can spend it as you like! ”
Speaking of this, Tang Yi squinted at Shi Quanhai, "You want money, right?" ”
"Hainan is full of barren mountains and wilderness, how much you have the ability to open up as much wasteland and grow as much grain, and how much benefit you can have, it all depends on your own ability!"
"Really!?" Shi Quanhai's eyes glowed green!!
The heart said that it was 10,000 people, even if it was a little old, but it was no problem to farm.
If this is a desperate land reclamation, 100,000 acres of land can also be opened! Hainan can grow three crops of rice! Even if half of the grain was taken away by the imperial court, it would be much larger than the amount of 10,000 vacancies...
"Of course it's true!" Tang Yi was not ambiguous at all. "As I said, I never treat my own people badly!"
...
Turn to a group of generals.
"From now on, veterans of the Lang Army who have reached the age of 40 will be reorganized into the Agricultural Reclamation Construction Corps. He retained his military status, paid his salary, and transferred to an agricultural position. ”
"Anyone who has reached the age of forty-five and has worked in the barracks for five years shall be allocated a certain amount of land to the individual, and half of the salary shall be paid, but the annual output from the camp shall be owned by the individual, and the agricultural tax shall be only two-tenths, and one percent shall be handed over to the imperial court, and the other ten percent shall still be owned by the corps."
"Whoever has attained the age of 50 and has a male member in the army shall continue to receive half his salary until the end of his old age."
"If there is no male soldier in the army, the military registration will be withdrawn, and the agricultural tax will still be two out of ten, and the court and the corps will each get one."
"Above the commander of the army, below the captain of the battalion. According to the size of the rank, there will be other arrangements. ”
"In short, the brothers must live well!"
“.....”
Look at me, I look at you....
The heart is not bad, it seems to be begging for a life with the mad king.
....
————————
It was difficult to see the effect of the redundant army before the Great Song Dynasty, and it was said a long time ago, it was nothing more than the cheese that moved too many people.
Tang Yi can only make a big cheese out and exchange it for the cheese in the hands of Jiangmen and the ruling class of the army....
It's just that people are realistic, and they won't easily let go of their current interests until they see their interests.
Fortunately, in Yazhou, Tang Yi said that he covered the sky with one hand! He can just use this cheese to make this cheese visible and touchable to everyone in the world.
....
Actually, the problem of redundant soldiers is not only in the Song Dynasty....
Taizu, who had just unified China in later generations, also encountered it.
Millions of troops fought down the country and returned to peace. But what if you don't need so many troops in peacetime?
Taizu was much wiser than the emperors of the Song Dynasty!
Soldiers to farmers, soldiers to workers! The soldier is still the soldier, but he put down his gun and picked up a hoe and a ploughman.
What agricultural reclamation corps, production and construction corps. It is said that it is an army, but it has quickly plunged into agricultural production and national construction in a collective situation.
This is a soft landing.
Very clever!
It will not cause turmoil because it is too intense, and it can quickly turn the army that consumes resources into a producer of resources.
The difference is that most of the output of the corps in later generations was owned by the state, while the Great Song Dynasty had to allocate a part to vested interests....
In Tang Yi's opinion, there is nothing wrong with this, and this method is also completely applicable to the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and even in some aspects, it is more suitable than later generations.
First, beyond the Five Mountains, it was still in a state of wilderness, and the imperial court was not enough to control it, and it had no energy to develop. It's just the right time for the Reclamation Corps to show off their strengths!
In later generations, the thousands of miles of fertile soil in the Liangguang region, not to mention the old and weak remnants of the Great Song Dynasty now, even if millions of Song troops were distributed, it was not obvious at all. Completely digestible.
Second, in this era, grain is still an important indicator of whether a country's national strength is strong, so that the soldiers who consume grain can produce food, and the army that spends the country's treasury can create wealth. This positive and negative change, you don't need to calculate carefully to know what the effect will be.
Third, the conscription system implemented by the Great Song Dynasty has always been flawed. Once you enter the barracks, you will die for life. It seems to be very close to the professional soldiers of later generations. However, the Great Song Dynasty has never been able to solve the problem of resettlement of veterans.
As the aging of the armed forces becomes more and more serious, it is bound to lead to the weakening of combat effectiveness.
Through the step-by-step screening of the Reclamation Corps, veterans were gradually transformed into yeoman farmers. It's a good idea.
.....
The only problem is that as time goes by, Lingnan will also have a saturation day, and there will be less and less land available for development. But that would be a long process, and it was not within the scope of Tang Yi's current consideration.
Maybe by that day, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty has expanded to another place to be explored?
Who can say what will happen in the future?
....
