Chapter 550: Slacking Farming

Wang Tingxiang looked murderous, but in fact, Pei Ji's face was a little embarrassed.

"Zhongcheng, there will be a sentence in the end that I don't know whether to say or not."

Wang Tingxiang said: "Qincha is here, you just have to say." ”

Pei Ji is a newly promoted commander, he used to be a thousand-household official, and he did follow the trend to occupy some military tuns, but with his official position, he actually didn't occupy much, this time the imperial court wanted to clear the occupied military tuns, and he naturally handed them all over.

So he himself does not have special interests and requirements, but this matter is not so simple.

"Zhongcheng, the person who obstructed the boundary survey and destroyed the boundary pillar that the last general said was not anyone else, but the sergeant himself who got the land. They don't want to be ploughed. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

Zhang Xuan immediately asked, "Why is this?" Is there anyone in the world who gets the land but doesn't want it? ”

Alas.

Pei Ji didn't want to react, but now that his boss directly asked about the progress of Tuntian, he couldn't delay it even if he wanted to.

After some ideological struggle, he still said, "After you get the land, you have to pay the number of grains in the tuntian." According to the general tax ratio, one bucket and two liters of grain per mu of field are paid. However, there was a difference between the field and the field, and in order to show fairness, the court used 50 acres of fertile land for each army and 200 acres of barren land for each army, but when the grain was collected, the sergeant who cultivated the barren land had to pay more grains. If the normal year is fine, what if there is a disaster year and the grains on it are tight?

Your Excellency knows that now in the border towns, they are fugitive soldiers, and those who are still there want to escape, so who wants to come in again?

Moreover, in addition to paying the grains, the tun army has to pay for the grains. There were also various errands, such as raising horses, gathering grass, cutting wages, and burning charcoal, and they were also requisitioned to build side walls, castles, and piers. Fortunately, there is no palace now, and in the past, the palace had to be transferred by the palace to build palaces, mausoleums, and so on. ”

As he said these words, everyone's faces changed.

In fact, the system of a society is corrupted to a certain extent, and it is really not possible to solve things by simply killing a few people.

If that were the case, then Hitler would have been the most capable leader of the country.

Pei Ji also said one less situation,

In addition to official service, the tun army also has to face officials at all levels, from hundreds of households and thousands of households, to commanders, town guards and eunuchs, and other officials, and these people also often 'serve in the tun army'.

The Tun army itself is also a peasant army, with the color of an army, but the border is not always fighting, most of the time it is still production and life, so there is a feeling of 'free labor', and what needs to be done depends entirely on the orders of officials.

Some military soldiers cultivated privately owned farmland, such as the original He Jinyi.

Some built private houses, and even did business for him, sold goods, and smuggled salt, and so on.

I don't know what's going on with this thing, as if it's born in our genes.

Even in modern times, there are many people whose work content is infinitely expanded by leaders, and it is often the work secretary who becomes the life secretary, and he is used to directing you, so you will talk about things that are not within the scope of your duties.

It's hard for a subordinate person to say 'no', even if something is indeed on the line, he shouldn't let you help him do it, but the leader has opened his mouth, what should you do?

The status of the tun army is somewhat similar to this, except that the ancient people had a more respectful and inferior concept, and the service made people more indulgent and thorough.

He was thorough, and the military households below naturally had to escape.

Later, a phenomenon called 'slacking farming' also occurred.

In fact, it is all economic accounts behind it, and it seems that I got the land, but in fact, the burden behind it is heavier, so it is also recorded in history that after the military households get the land, they will "listen to the grass" and "abandon the land and not plant".

This is actually a bit complicated and cumbersome.

Wang Tingxiang glanced at Wang Shouren and Zhang Xuan,

Even if they are played to the emperor, as the emperor, in the face of this kind of problem, it is nothing more than to issue several decrees prohibiting xx and xx. But the specific implementation still depends on them, and they have to rely on thousands, hundreds, hundreds? He can't help it, the people under his men are running away.

Alas.

Zhang Xuan sighed, it was really difficult enough.

Wang Tingxiang frowned and pondered, "Commander Pei, the imperial court can make a decision to put an end to the matter of serving the army, and Your Majesty will definitely not object." As long as the governor's yamen and the commander-in-chief's yamen set an example, the commanders and thousands of households will not dare to come. It's just that the sergeant doesn't trust this anymore and ......"

And people are dead.

The current governor, the current general soldier, can do it. Not necessarily.

This leads to an even greater lack of trust between the upper echelons and the lower ranks.

"Do you want to play it for Your Majesty?" Zhang Xuan asked with doubts.

"It's okay to play, but I'll have to find a solution first." Wang Shouren frowned, thinking about it, "The so-called labor or seeds, fundamentally the life of the soldiers is unsustainable, in the words of the common people, good men should not be soldiers."

Therefore, I privately think that for the officials and generals, we must love the soldiers in our hands, when they are peaceful, they cultivate for the court, and when the war is in chaos, they risk death for the court. ”

Wang Tingxiang felt that it made sense when he heard this, and asked again: "But do you love the soldiers, how can you ensure this?" ”

"This official has a practice in Shuofang Town."

"Please give me advice."

Everything in the Hetao Military Administration Area started from scratch, and many things were decided by Wang Shouren himself.

Wang Shouren is actually strange, because the emperor really doesn't care much about him, and he lets him do it. Sometimes he himself panicked, and said to the emperor, what have I done recently, you see if this is feasible, if it doesn't work, you give me a word, and I will correct it immediately.

But the emperor's response to this was always one sentence: I know, very good.

Wang Shouren's eyes were biased, revealing the light of wisdom, "All changes are inseparable from their origins, if you want to do anything, you must associate it with political achievements and promotions." I want generals at all levels to love the people, but I don't know how to do it, so I will include the living conditions of the soldiers in the assessment of generals. If the family of a mortal soldier is ruined, even if this person is brave, I not only don't use it, but I also want to degrade it. Because I always feel that the generals are not in harmony, and they cannot fight a tough battle. ”

This is a very popular method, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it. To put it bluntly, you can't let your soldiers live too badly, and if it's too miserable, people will definitely hate the leader.

"What Wang Butang means is to look at the results." Zhang Xuan also began to nod, "Maybe you can give it a try." ”

"Pei Ji, do you understand?" Wang Tingxiang asked.

Pei Ji glanced at the scholar on the main throne, and the person with a somewhat thin body, he was a little curious: What kind of character is this?

"General, I understand. That is, there are too many soldiers who cannot be served. ”

Wang Tingxiang bowed his hand in the direction of Jingshi, "Not bad." This law will be played by the imperial court, Ningxia Wei's soldiers are not as good as other guards, that's your problem, Ningxia Town is not as good as other towns, that's the problem of hatred, Shaanxi is not as good as other capitals, that's the official's problem. ”

"Yes. Dare to ask Zhongcheng, what if there are still people who don't want to? ”

"Grace and power are enough. You have to explain these truths clearly. But for those who refuse to obey, they must also be punished slightly, and things will be done little by little, can they still not be military households? Who can guarantee him this? ”

Pei Ji bowed his head, "Yes, then there will be no other doubts, and I will definitely do my best to do a good job in Tuntian." ”

Wang Tingxiang and Zhang Xuan exhaled, but fortunately they didn't let Wang Shouren go.

It's inevitable that things that involve each specific person are indeed intricate, and there are many things that policymaking fails to take into account. I'm afraid that if I don't have enough adaptability, it's going to be a headache.

"What about the other three guards? There is no need to talk about similar situations, just handle it accordingly. You four guards, in the future, the official will also have to look at it, if any of the guard's soldiers are so poor that they want to sell their sons and daughters, the official will still trouble you. ”

The avant-garde commander of Ningxia made Zhou Rui stand up, "Zhongcheng, there is a big family here to obstruct Qingtun, and he has a relationship in the palace......
