1001 Inspect the military palace
Li Tai didn't know that Northern Qi would dig up his ancestral grave, but the Gao family has always had a tradition of harming his wife and children, and he is still like this to his own people, let alone his enemies. Xin Gao's family preached morality, and it was better to give money to Qin Shi Huang.
Therefore, in order to prevent the ancestors from crying to him in a dream, he also moved the grave of his ancestors to Guanzhong, and chose an auspicious day to be reburied in Xianyang, at least it is convenient to go to the grave in the future.
Compared with Yecheng Gao Yang's one-man show, Guanzhong, especially Chang'an, has been very lively recently. Since the eighth Buddha's birthday in early April, all kinds of activities such as exposition of the law and debate scriptures have been held one after another, which is no different from an audio-visual feast for a group of Buddhist believers in Guanzhong.
Li Tai, as the initiator of this matter, did not join in the excitement. In the final analysis, his original intention was not to engage in any religious event, but to make a lot of money through this matter.
Among the Buddhist and Taoist scholars who participated in the debate, except for the two senior monks enshrined by the Western Wei royal family, it was really difficult to operate, and the other virtuous monks were all elected with money, food and materials.
The titles of eight great virtuous monks alone brought millions of stone grains and other considerable material income to the Bafu, although the Tianshui Guangming Temple and the Northern Shaanxi Shifo Temple were both arranged by Li Tai. However, the other six great monks were genuine donors to enter the finals and appear in the debate.
As for the Taoist priests, Li Tai did not perform such operations. It's not because they have a better impression of Taoism, but because the Taoist priests are a little poor. The inheritance of Taoism in the Northern Dynasties has been in a state of decline since the Heavenly Master Dao Kou Qianzhi, and it has not been valued by the rulers in the upper classes, and its penetration power into the middle and lower classes is far less powerful than that of Buddhism.
Li Tai wanted to hold this great forum on Buddhism and Taoism, but it was Zhang Shinu who found several of his Louguan Taoist brothers, otherwise there would not even be a local Taoist representative in Guanzhong. However, the theoretical level of Taoist priests in these Louguan Dao is also quite average, and it is estimated that it is difficult to achieve a state of parity.
Of course, Li Tai didn't want to make it true because of this debate, and really let Shamen dominate the religious circles in Guanzhong. Only when Buddhism and Taoism are evenly matched and check and balance each other can the administrative power of the government have sufficient room to intervene in adjusting and restricting religious beliefs.
So he selected a lot of Gangneung people and asked them to join in the debate. Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang had to open the altar to talk about "Lao Tzu" when Jiangling was attacked, and hundreds of officials were dressed to listen to the lectures, and the metaphysical theory level of these Southern Dynasty people did not mention the hanging and beating of Guanzhong monks, which had to be at least a few ranks higher.
In the current era, Guanzhong is not known as a "cultural desert", not only the Confucian classics, but also the religious theories of Buddhism and Taoism are also in a very backward and simple state. Quoting these Southern Korean talents to join in is tantamount to carrying out a dimensionality reduction attack.
Once the supplies were in place, things were suddenly much simpler. Soon, the hussars entered the actual formation period from the preparatory stage, and the sergeants of the Zhufu also entered the countryside one after another.
Although there are many hills and ravines in the area, Xianyang is also an important grain producing area around Gyeonggi because it is located between Jingwei and Weiyang, with fertile soil and convenient cultivation.
Xianyang's old Duohao Qiangjun head garden villa industry, because of its proximity to Gyeonggi, has also become the first choice for many soldiers of the Liufang Forbidden Army. However, there were many troubles in the Liufang Forbidden Army before, and even Xiao Sima Cai You and General Zhu Wuwei were sanctioned, and other middle and lower-level generals were naturally punished.
Some of the generals were exiled to Shannan, while others had nothing to atone for. The Xianyang Manor industry, which was originally concentrated in the hands of the generals of the forbidden army, was concentrated in the hands of the government, and now it is transferred to a group of government soldiers.
The Xianyang Hussar Mansion was one of the first military governments to complete the formation and official operation, so Li Tai also took the time to come and review it.
When he arrived in Weibei from Weiqiao, the governor of the Hussar Mansion had already led a group of soldiers and soldiers to line up to greet him, and said with his hands crossed: "The last general will greet the Lord!"
Looking at the high-spirited appearance of the soldiers, Li Tai was also deeply grateful, and waved his hand and nodded to them on horseback, while heading towards the Hussar Mansion under the guidance of several Feng and others.
The government soldiers are the soldiers of the military government, which is a kind of world military system that follows the Xianbei military system, and Yuwentai's so-called government soldier reform is the scope of the generals
It was expanded to the Han people's Haoqiang tribe, but there were not many other forms of change.
Because of their long-term military service, government soldiers are basically out of work, and for them, if they want to obtain income, they can only participate in the war, and obtain income and maintain their lives through the capture and rewards of the war.
There is no doubt that such a way of survival is full of dangers and lacks basic security, and a defeat in a battle can lead to bankruptcy or even death. The previous soldiers of the military government didn't play like this.
But now Li Tai has reformed the system, created the Hussar Mansion, and awarded the land with military merits, which has given the sergeants of the military government a stable economic foundation and no worries. Even if you lose the battle, you can still get survival materials through the land. Moreover, the land can be passed on to children and grandchildren, and it is no longer just a military membership that has nothing.
Li Tai dismounted and walked slowly through the fields, listening to some Feng and other military officials talk about the situation of land granting, while watching the farmers in the fields work hard. By this time, it was the height of summer, and the crops in the fields were growing luxuriantly, and it was foreseeable that this year would be another good year.
Those who worked in the fields were not only the sergeants themselves and their wives and children, but also the servants and slaves who were assigned by the government, and the laborers were mainly the latter.
After the government soldiers are granted fields, it is also inevitable to carry out military tasks such as conquest and daily training, and now that the fields have just been granted, everything still needs a run-in period, and the proportion of agricultural production and military tasks needs to be distributed after a long-term observation. Therefore, the shortage of labor is also the situation that this first batch of government soldiers and sergeants need to face.
"How much labor does it take to stay on time for this piece of land?"
Standing in the field, Li Tai stopped and asked with a smile as he saw a sergeant in a hakama uniform leaning over to weed.
"Lord, Lord, forgive your sins, but there is no one in the household, so I have not come out to meet the Lord today......
The sergeant looked embarrassed and nervous, and when he saw that Tang Gong had no intention of reproaching him, he began to whisper again: "I have three honors for my humble duties, and I will get one hundred and twenty acres of land, one for each of cattle and horses, and another sixty acres of land. When harvesting and planting are in accordance with agriculture, it takes three manpower. But there are only old wives and young men in the household......
There are fields but no one cultivates them, which is also a problem. After listening to the sergeant's story, Li Tai asked again, "Why don't you rent slaves from the Fuzhong to use it?"
This problem was encountered as early as when he was in Xiangyang, so now in addition to the 3,000 sergeants and their families, the military government is also equipped with almost the same number of officers and slaves. When the sergeant heard this question, he shook his head again and again, and said, "The money in the house is all Hu slaves who are not good at farming, they are stupid and gluttonous, they don't use much labor, and they rent a lot......
As soon as he complained here, he saw that the faces of the generals and others in the rear had become a little unsightly, so he shut up in hindsight.
"The soldiers in the house are not good at farming and weaving, and the soldiers are not happy to rent the soldiers, and it is indeed a hardship. The ministers are also helpless about this, and they can't create people out of thin air......
Speaking of this problem, a number of Feng was also a little helpless, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he was not unaware of the demands of the sergeants, but there was no corresponding human resources to be allocated.
When Li Tai heard this, he bowed slightly, and many times when the situation changed, the law had to be adjusted accordingly. The transition of government soldiers from the original off-duty soldiers to military landlords is indispensable for the acquisition and distribution of labor.
After the end of the battle of Gangneung in history, all the people and things in Gangneung were taken into captivity, and many Gangneung people were reduced to slaves and soldiers, which fattened the government soldiers. However, the population of Jiangling who moved into Guanzhong today is not large, and most of them are resettled in Shannan, although the vitality of Shannan has been preserved, but it has also lagged behind the development of soldiers and peasants in Guanzhong.
The only way to improve this situation is to obtain a large number of population resources and allocate them to the government soldiers to undertake productive labor. And the most effective way to obtain population is war, as long as the Northern Qi can be dealt with, all these problems will be solved.
But now that the reform of the government and military forces of the Western Wei Dynasty has just entered a new beginning, the national strength is far from being strong enough to support a large-scale war of annihilation. This makes the situation seem to be stuck in a cycle of helplessness, and it seems to be somewhat inexplicable.
But there is nothing unsolvable in this world, after all, you can still ask the Buddha if you are undecided. There are a large number of hidden people in Buddhist temples, after all, the Buddhas donate
The lost grain did not appear out of thin air by asking God to worship the Buddha, and many temple slaves and monks only worked hard to make the fat offered by the Buddha in vain.
Don't bother the two masters, while the great monks have not dispersed in Chang'an City, take a time to discuss and discuss how to properly solve this problem, which is also the proper meaning.
Li Tai first kept these things in mind, and then continued to move forward, and when he arrived at the military mansion, he began to check the daily affairs of the military mansion.
