Chapter 50: Quasi-Concert

When the prince heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he immediately said: "Father, the sons and daughters dare not harm state affairs with selfishness. Erchen is also looking forward to He Xi being able to do this well. But ------"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then let him do it, the country I have laid is a big business, and I can't finish defeating it for a while." Biao'er, in fact, there are some things, you don't have to think too much, in the implementation of the law change, who can do it better than He Xi? No. Then let him do it. ”

"If you succeed, you will be rewarded, and if you fail, you will be punished. It's not a big deal. ”

The prince wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. Because he knows that even if he says it, it is useless.

What is called, no big deal.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, it's not a big deal. But for the crown prince, it was an unbearable problem.

This is the biggest difference between the prince and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The leap from ancient society to modern society cannot be completed in one or two years, or even ten or eight years. It is normal to use decades, or even half a century, a century. And in the midst of this change, there are drastic social changes, reshuffling. It can be said that it is a great change that has not been artificially created in 2,000 years. The era that can be compared with it is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was the era of transformation from slavery to feudal society.

What happened in that era? Just thinking about it, the prince felt his scalp tingle.

But what use can these words be said to Zhu Yuanzhang?

There was silence.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a long time, wanting to wait for Zhu Biao to continue speaking.

But Zhu Biao has nothing to say.

They all understand each other's thoughts. And none of them can be changed.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Your body is not good, go back and recuperate." After a while, when you are well, you can do an errand. ”

The prince said, "Yes." Then with the support of the little eunuch, he left slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the back of the prince, sighed softly, and then put a word on He Xi's recital: "Accurate." ”

He Xi's recital, after the process of more than a dozen people, was finally approved.

And the back of the prince leaving paused slightly, as if he heard this soft sigh.

------

Beijing conquered the General's Mansion of Peking University.

This mansion used to be, Xu Da's, and it used to be Feng Sheng's. Now it's Deng Zhen's.

It's just that the mansion is the same mansion, but the people are not the same people.

He Xi had not seen Xu Da in this mansion. But when he saw Feng Sheng in this mansion, he was obviously in a lower position, but now Shen Guogong Deng Zhen is different.

Deng Zhen and He Xi can only sit on an equal footing.

He Xi came over this time to talk about land with Deng Zhen.

Deng Zhen said: "Lord He is here, it stands to reason that I will definitely do one thing." But there are some difficulties. That's the problem of migration, it's not one or two households, there are at least three or four health homes. Twenty or thirty thousand people. So many people moved at once. I've just arrived, and for a while, the truth is still unclear. ”

"Can you allow it for a while?"

He Xi knew that what Deng Zhen said was really not a lie.

First of all, if nothing else, the overall relocation of several health centers is not a small project in itself. Secondly, Deng Zhen's prestige is not as good as that of some old princes. And the relationship in the health center near Beijing is also complicated. Deng Zhen didn't dare to start easily.

He Xi said: "Of course, this matter is not urgent, but after all, the sooner the better." This is one thing, and I watched it up and down. He Xi paused slightly when he said this, and said: "However, I have a way here, Guogong listens to it, does it seem appropriate?" ”

Deng Zhen said: "What way? ”

He Xi said: "If these four guards are not moved, how about the abolition of private households? ”

Deng Zhen was stunned for a moment, very puzzled, and said: "There are few precedents for this matter. And I'm afraid the army is not satisfied. ”

He Xi said: "Guogong is right, but in the army, not everyone is willing to be a military household. And Beijing's urban construction also needs people. In the future, when the city of Beijing is built, it will also need people. Rather than 2 migrate to a distant land, these people would better stay. ”

"If the army is not satisfied, there are only some veterans, and officers."

Deng Zhen sighed and nodded slowly.

Although Deng Zhen is not as good as his father, he has been in the army for many years, not a wine bag and a rice bag, and some shortcomings of the guard system have already appeared in this era. In particular, the Battlements Army, what is the Battlements Army, that is, the army in a certain place is not enough, and the local people are directly included in the guards, and every family is required to go out.

Just like Liaodong, the people of Liaodong are all military households. That's because of this.

And why the Duanji army is the worst, because the upper echelons of the Daming Guard have been fixed, and the hereditary is reckless. Who is it? It is Zhu Yuanzhang's Conglong heroes, most of whom are from Huaixi. And the Duoji army was forcibly requisitioned, and they were all at the bottom of the army, under layers of oppression, which was simply not worthy of people's eyes.

The devastation in the army is even more brutal.

Most of the deserters are these people.

He Xi said: "Streamline the old soldiers in the guards and distribute them to other guards, and draw people who are unwilling to be military households from other guards, so that the movement will be much smaller." ”

He Xi's idea was improvised. But at the same time, it has a deep meaning.

That is, He Xi never wanted to abolish the health system. Because in He Xi's view, the health system is not a normal military system in essence, and there are too many problems here. But He Xi understands better that the guard system is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Not something he could easily shake. However, precedent is important.

Once there is a precedent, it is as if a small opening has been made in the defensive line, and the bottom can be extended along this small opening little by little.

Deng Zhen was also thinking about this matter.

Deng Zhen felt that this method was good and relatively easy to operate. These guards have been in the local area for more than 20 years. It is deep-rooted, and it is a troublesome thing to let them move out with an order, although it is difficult to say that the military order is difficult to do.

And where did you move to?

Of course, there is good land in Kannai, but there is no large area of land. If you want to have a large area of land, you must migrate to Liaodong, or the Monan region. Or the land of the guard house is intertwined with the land of the local people.

Neither of these is easy to deal with.

Anything that has to do with the land is a troublesome thing.

And these guards were directly abolished, and the veterans who dared to fight were merged into other guards, and these guards were commanded, promoted, or put into an idle position. Deng Zhen is a national prince, this thing can still be done. Other health centers were also strengthened.

It's not a hassle.

Of course, there is also a reflection of one thing from the side. Deng Zhen never considered the situation that after the abolition of these four guards, the Ming army was insufficient.

After all, there are more than 300 guards in the Ming Dynasty.

Deng Zhen pondered for a while and said, "How are these dismissed soldiers going to be settled?" After all, he is a meritorious minister of the court, and it is not too bad to let it go to the people. ”

He Xi's heart moved, and said: "Guogong, the previous decree of the imperial court actually has restrictions on the conscription of the people for labor, and this time, I am not going to conscript the people." ”

Deng Zhen said: "Then use the men and horses in the army? ”

The use of military personnel to build was also common in the Ming Dynasty, and even many lords and ministers did so later, which became one of the important reasons for the corruption of the army's combat effectiveness.

He Xi said: "I don't prepare. Didn't I say that? Use these laid down soldiers. ”

Deng Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "Is only 20,000 people enough?" ”

He Xi said: "It's hard to say whether it is enough or not, but I am ready to set up a construction company to contract the entire project." And the 20,000 were incorporated into the construction society. ”

Deng Zhen was a little puzzled and said, "What is the Construction Society?" ”

He Xi said: "The construction company is a construction company under the Beijing Construction Division. Owned by the imperial court, independently accounted for, and profits and losses are at your own risk. ”

The definition of a company is in the new law, and according to the ancient tradition, many of these groups are called clubs and the like. He Xi said that this can be regarded as following the local customs. It's just a state-owned enterprise, independent accounting, self-financing, and so on very simple concepts. But he had to let He Xi explain to Deng Zhen for a long time.

Deng Zhen can figure out what He Xi is doing.

Some people died, but not completely......
