The new emperor and new atmosphere, but it is extremely painful for the emperor Meng Yan of the Great Xuan Dynasty, according to the etiquette system, he has to get up early every day, and he is far from being at ease when he was King Yong, this is not already yawning, and the ministers under the rank are still chattering, especially those who have just been promoted to the Beijing officials, and their beards are about to fly.

"My Daxuan Dynasty has been such a military system since the uprising, and now it is absolutely impossible to change it, the heroic army is the foundation of the founding of the country, and disarmament is absolutely not feasible!" It was Tan Yong, who didn't even get mixed up with the title, and the secretary of the military council who had just been inaugurated.

"Lord Tan, disarmament is not that the army is not strong, what did Chai Sanghou say in the battle of Jiujiang, three hundred elite soldiers can also take a city." The reply was Zhuo Baiqing, the right attendant of Xitai, this is Meng Yan's old hardcore cronies, for Meng Yan, even Zhuo Bailing can be betrayed and used, there has not been much contact between the brothers in recent years.

There are three pairs of two lords in the Daxuan Dynasty, Gu Yanfeng, Gu Xifeng brothers, Deng Gang, Deng Ang father and son, and the highest prestige and reputation in the court is the Zhuo brothers, because the brothers have always disagreed on the matter of the "flame" organization, and the private correspondence between the two brothers is limited to relatives, but this still can't stop the envy of the people of the world for the Zhuo brothers, the example of the side children, just more than ten years of hard work has created a world, a family of two dukes, one is the third duke, and the other is in the phase, The only ones who can compete with it are the Gu brothers, the enemies of the Mengshi, one is at the head of the middle hall and is in charge of the promotion of civil and military affairs, the other is the general who sits on one side, plus the Deng father and son, these three are recognized by the people of the entire Great Xuan Dynasty. As for the three lords of the Jing family, in the eyes of everyone, it is just His Majesty's attempt to appease Zhaonan, and it has nothing to do with the wealthy family.

However, at this moment, Zhuo Bailing felt that his younger brother, as the prime minister, had no bottom line in talking like this, so he frowned and retorted directly: "I'm afraid that the words of the right servant are biased, Chai Sanghou's incident in Jiujiang is just an accident, you can't generalize, and you have to be cautious about disarmament." ”

Regarding disarmament, it is imperative to reform the military system Meng Yan, most of the generals in the army have no opinions, this is the credit of Meng Huan, but on the contrary, it is the voice of obstruction among the civil ministers is very loud, and the people below have been arguing about this matter for two days, Meng Yan looked at Chen Zhiqing, the rotating governor on the side.

I saw Chen Zhiqing shake his head, got up from the chair, and said weakly while coughing: "Everyone, everyone is for the good of Daxuan, but the people of my Daxuan Dynasty are only 20 million, and the border army and garrisons in various places have exceeded one million, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is amazing. ”

Yes, the contradiction was transferred to the Department of Civil Commerce, and the Secretary of the Department of Civil and Commercial Affairs Tushan Yinyuan stood up and saluted Meng Yan first, and then said: "The military expenditure is really large, just last year, His Majesty's expedition to Hanzhong, Hushuai Pingxingtan and Chaisang Hou in Jiujiang consumption, three sides of the war, more than half of the imperial court's reserve consumption, although this year did not move troops, but the daily military expenditure is one-third of our financial finance, if there is another war, I am afraid that there are some difficulties." "There is no way, I can only tell the truth, and no one can be offended.

When it comes to money and grain, no one dares to argue with Tu Shan Yinyuan, he is the God of Wealth of the Great Xuan Dynasty, if it weren't for his support over the years, the grain and grass of the army would have been cut off long ago.

In order not to be cold, Meng Huan stood up, he was the prince, and he was leading the troops on the front line, Chen Zhiqing, the first person in the Daxuan military, spoke, and Meng Huan stood up again to agree, and the opposition was gradually weakening at this time, no, Gu Yanfeng quickly stared Gu Xifeng to death with his eyes, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion expressed his position, and the royal family in the army also expressed his position, his relative was the last, but Gu Xifeng was the one who didn't want to be disarmed, he was used to the feeling of having a large number of soldiers and horses.

Just when Gu Xifeng hesitated, the quartz standing in front of him kicked him intentionally or unintentionally, Gu Xifeng raised his head with a frown, saw his sister behind the screen glaring at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally stood up reluctantly to agree to the disarmament.

There is no problem with the military, Gu Yanfeng, as the boss of the civil ministers, joined Nie Huan and others to agree with the issue of military reform and disarmament.

In this way, the following things have gone a lot smoother, Meng Yan, who was about to fall asleep, is also in good spirits at this time, the direction is right, there is nothing that cannot be talked about, just watching the chubby Tu Shan Yinyuan keep wiping the sweat on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitch slightly from time to time, Meng Yan wanted to laugh a little, not to laugh, but to feel that he didn't expect that the most difficult thing about this matter was him, the God of Wealth.

"I said, my lords and generals, can you take care of the ability of some civil and commercial divisions?" Tu Shan Yinyuan finally couldn't help it, who said that businessmen would not lose their temper.

"Uh, Lord Tu Shan, it can't be reduced any longer, although the border army and the garrison army are the main force, and the strength has been reduced by one-third, but the three-year military service on our side will also cost it." Quartz said with a smile.

This is equivalent to not saving a penny, but it was spent in batches, seeing that Tu Shan Yinyuan was about to run away, Jin Qian, who was half dead, hurriedly said: "Lord Tu Shan, don't be nervous, the soldiers of the three-year military service can be tuntian in a suitable place in tuntian, and in a place that is not suitable for tuntian, local law and order can be maintained, and the local governor's offices can also produce some." ”

After hearing this, Tu Shanyinyuan slowly slowed down, and said: "The soldiers registered in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion count 1.8 million border troops and garrison troops, as well as 900,000 city defense troops, baggage and auxiliary troops from all over the country, according to the plan, we need to reduce the 600,000 main army and 400,000 non-main forces, and our civil and commercial department will solve the military expenses of the main force and bear half of the military expenses of the non-main army, which is already 20% of our taxes." ”

Chen Zhiqing, the rotating governor, frowned and said: "The environment is different in different places, and the taxes are also different, for example, the two lakes are rich and the people are stable, but Yeling and Zhaonan are not good, the land is barren, the bandits are heavy, and the local taxes are already tight, and they can't afford military expenditures at all, so Lord Tushan still has to recalculate it." ”

What Chen Zhiqing said was reality, Tu Shan Yinyuan's embarrassment was also real, and for a while everyone had no good solution, even Ye Bohuai, the "god of war" who had unparalleled wisdom and scheming in the Great Xuan Dynasty, did not take the initiative to talk, this matter seems to be the bottleneck of military reform.

It was another fruitless day, Meng Yan dragged his tired body back to the harem, Gu Qingfeng was reprimanding Meng Wanshu for her reckless impulsiveness, lying outside the door for a long time and finally understood, it turned out that Meng Wanshu ran to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion today to block Zhou Ce, so scared that Zhou Ce ran over the wall, if it wasn't for Lu Wanyu to persuade her back, I don't know how much trouble she would have caused.

Forget it, the outer court quarreled, the inner courtyard trained the girl, it was not a good day, the sunset was about to set, Meng Yan decided to leave the palace, and called Jing Mu, who was still injured in the buttocks, to leave the palace with his heart.

The people of Chengdu did not change their original lives because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, for them, it is enough to have land to farm and eat and earn money, the only thing that feels that there is a card is that the Great Xuan Dynasty will never enslave the people, at least now it has really done the people-oriented, and the officials do not bully the people, which is the most rare.

"Master, where are we going?" Jing Mu changed his name, after all, it was outside the palace, General An Da has recently been very strict with the new noble son, and yesterday he also punished Xue Hui, the youngest son of Xue Zhen, the left servant of the Wanzhou County Gongshutai, and Nie Bing, the second son of Nie Huan, the right servant of the Gongxi Tai of Yuezhou County, for making trouble after drinking, not to mention the identities of these two, the two of their brothers did not have to intercede when they were working under General An.

"Hmmm..." Meng Yan looked around, he didn't know where to go, there was nothing fun in the inner three cities, the entire inner three cities were under An Cang's nose, they must have known when they came out of An Cang, suddenly, a person flashed in his mind, and then said: "What has Nanchuan Gong been busy with lately?" ”

Nanchuan County Gong Yanlan, he should be regarded as the most low-key nobleman of the Great Xuan Dynasty, born in the Zhuge clan, everyone thought that Meng Yan kept him just to win over the old ministers of the Zhuge clan, and the clinker Chengdu made this position his from beginning to end.

Chengdu Order, as the name suggests, is the chief official of Chengdu and the affiliated places, according to the current level division, Chengdu Ling is higher than the local governor and the six secretaries of Shangshu, second only to the existence of the middle hall, generally this kind of position in the past dynasties are the emperor's cronies or princes to hold, Lan sat in this position and did not move, that is, the three princes saw him and also had to give three points, but Yan Lan is very low-key, in addition to the affairs of the government every day, other important military affairs are not actively involved, even if Meng Yan called him to participate in politics, He also remained largely silent.

Jing Mu was stunned for a moment, this Nanchuan Duke was really low-key, thought for a while and said: "After the enthronement ceremony, Nanchuan Gong has been cooperating with General An to maintain order in Chengdu, arrest and arrest thieves, and he is quite busy every day, resting in the mansion, counting that he should take a day off today, and he should be in the mansion." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the Nanchuan Mansion to ask for a glass of water to drink." Meng Yan had an idea.

A group of several people hurriedly turned the horse's head and went straight to Qingyang City, Qingyang City relied on Jinping Mountain to build, when the construction of the outer three cities was built under the auspices of the secretary of the secretary Yonghe in Qingyang City to build a hundred official residences, in addition to the early in the three cities with official residences of the nobles, most of them went to Qingyang City, Yan Lan is an exception, he deliberately took the official residence of the inner three cities and replaced a house in Qingyang City with the division of the division, the reason is to support the old mother, how much truth is there in this sentence Yonghe is too lazy to ask, Chengdu Ling opened the mouth How can there be a reason to refuse?

At the head of the inner and outer cities, An Cang looked at the figure of Meng Yan and his party going out of the city, and immediately ordered: "Xue Chen, you bring a team of men and horses to slowly follow Your Majesty and them, don't get close, you can't come forward without Your Majesty's instructions!" ”

"Order!" Xue Chen is really afraid of this brainless boss, he just begged for his younger brother two days ago, and the punishment of twenty lashes rose directly to forty lashes, and his younger brother now has to lie on his stomach when he sleeps.

"Panic what! Who is on duty in Miyagi today? Where did Nie Xun go? An Cang's voice was stern and cold.

"Today, the Marquis of Ningnan is on duty in the palace city, and Nie Xun is patrolling the garrison city." Xue Chen said honestly, and an ominous feeling immediately rose.
