Chapter 391 Border Policy
"The minister thinks that some military families can settle down in the local area and guard the frontier for generations."
There were not many military households in the Han Dynasty, and Liu Zhi attracted a lot of military households in order to solve the problem of displaced people.
This still played a very positive role at that time, firstly, to solve the problem of the displaced people's livelihood without land and permanent property, and secondly, to ensure the source of the army.
But now the situation in the country has changed, there is no longer a large conscription, and the military households have effectively changed to a farm system.
There are also some military families who have left the military by virtue of their military exploits and become free people.
The country is prosperous, the four seas are peaceful, and there are more and more people who want to leave the military.
Liu Zhi thought of the frontier army of later generations, if he followed this model, built cities on the border, married wives and had children for them, would those veterans who had guarded the border all their lives be willing to stay?
Of course, many people already have families in their hometowns, and it may provoke resentment if they move their families away from the wealthy.
Liu Zhi pondered for a moment, or, to put it another way, anyone who has been on the border for many years, or who has made meritorious contributions, and whose rank is enough, can join the army.
Not only to solve their food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also to reunite their family?
Liu Zhi slapped the table happily, yes, just do it.
There was a "snap", which startled the attendants next to him, but the two old generals did not move at all.
When Liu Zhi said the idea of the military system, the two looked at each other, and Duan Cheng couldn't help but speak first.
"What the...... That daring is good, what the sergeant on the border is looking forward to most is the reunion of husband and wife, and His Majesty will also solve the livelihood, naturally it is better, haha......"
Duan Cheng has been in the border pass all his life, getting along with a bunch of rough men every day, and he is used to bringing a few words of meat on his lips, and when he was excited just now, he almost forgot about it.
Fortunately, Liu Zhi didn't care, pretending not to hear, this kind of disgrace in front of the monarch can be big or small, the key depends on whether the emperor cares about it or not.
Huangfu Gui also nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, forcing you to become a military household, and rewarding the army, there is really a world of difference between the two." ”
The frontier policy is easy to say, but if it is to be implemented, it will still need a lot of supporting policies, and they have only tentatively determined a major policy, and how to implement it will still have to be discussed at the court meeting.
Today's main thing is to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two old generals, and the rest of the things can be postponed.
The emperor personally received them, which was also an honor for them, after all, Rong Ma had been in the court all his life, and now he was still in the court, and he should also be given corresponding high-standard treatment.
Especially Duan Cheng, who is still his in-laws, and his daughter and son-in-law went to the frontier, he is still a little worried.
After the banquet, Huangfu Gui said goodbye and left, and he returned from thousands of miles, and he was also anxious to see his family.
However, Duan Cheng was left behind, and he was also a father, so he naturally understood Liu Zhi's thoughts, and immediately took out Wuyang Liu Sleeve's family letter.
Judging between the lines, Liu Zhi had a good life in the frontier and quickly adapted to life there, which made Liu Zhi finally breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Liu Sleeve is indeed different from her mother, and her personality is more stubborn and tenacious of the Liu family, not a flower in a greenhouse.
He was scared of Tian Guifei, and he was always worried that his daughter had inherited such a tragic character, and it seemed that he was worried about everything.
"Ji Ming, come into the garden to talk to me in the future, in the blink of an eye, you and I have known each other for twenty-five years......"
Liu Zhi felt that he had been involuntarily reminiscing about the past recently, feeling like an old man, probably because of his old mentality.
"No, Your Majesty, when the minister comes back this time, he is for the elderly, and he will definitely go around if he has nothing to do.
After two days, the minister wanted to go back to his hometown in Shuzhong first to worship his ancestors. ”
Duan Cheng has not returned for many years, and now he should go to his hometown to worship his parents, how can this kind of thing not be allowed.
"Is three months of vacation enough?"
Liu Zhi is very generous in this regard, not to mention that there is no urgency, as long as Duan Cheng does not plan to return to his hometown.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Duan Cheng was overjoyed, it was enough to go back to Shuzhong once in three months, and he could still enjoy the mountains and rivers by the way, so he didn't need to hurry.
"I'll give you a task, take a good look at the scenery of Shuzhong for me, I have to take the exam when I come back, if three months is not enough, half a year doesn't matter."
To put it bluntly, his purpose in letting Duan Cheng and Huangfu Gui return to the capital was not to cut power, but to really let them retire.
Today's Liu Zhi has this self-confidence, and he doesn't have to worry about someone rebelling or supporting the army and respecting himself.
"No problem, the minister will definitely do it."
"Hahaha......"
The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and laughed, and the feeling of alienation that they hadn't seen each other for many years immediately disappeared.
The two chatted some more gossip, and then agreed to invite a group of old friends to get together in two days, and the last time Dong Ban came back from Annan, he had already gotten together once.
This time, Duan Cheng returned to Beijing, and naturally it was no exception.
The location is still at Fan Chao's house, and in the future, as this group of old friends gets older and older, maybe this kind of gathering will be fixed, and it doesn't have to wait for someone to come back.
Duan Cheng brought spirits from the Far North, bear's paws, white fox skins, etc. as gifts, and Liu Zhi naturally attended with micro-clothes.
At such times, he does not appear as an emperor, but as an old friend for many years.
After the party, Duan Cheng took leave and went back to Shuzhong, and Huangfu Gui also returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
However, Liu Zhi still asked them to submit the proposal of the frontier garrison policy before leaving.
The call for disarmament in the DPRK and China was already relatively high, and if Liu Zhi had not been suppressing it, the military and civil servants would have quarreled a long time ago.
When Liu Zhi ascended the throne, the situation was not good, and he was overturned by a family, and later he broke the deadlock by promoting the generals.
As Liu Zhi pacified the civil strife and opened up the frontier, the power of the military generals group gradually expanded, and for a while, it was almost possible to compete with the Wenchen group.
But after the border was cleared, the country began to enter a stage of rapid development, and the military generals gradually declined, but there was a split within the Wenchen group and could not dominate.
Since ancient times, there has been a natural antagonism between Wenchen and military generals, both of whom look down on each other a little, and always want to suppress each other when possible.
Over the years, on the surface, it seems that the border is stable and does not need such a large number of troops to maintain, but the potential threat has not been completely eliminated.
Therefore, disarmament is not possible for the time being, and the best way to do it is to make a transition.
This plan was proposed by Huangfu Gui and Duan Cheng, in order to increase their qualifications for entering the machine mansion in the future.
At this time, the military transformation plan was suddenly thrown, needless to say, the ministers also knew that it was the emperor's intention, and most people supported it, and the key was how to transform.
