Chapter 392: Thousand Autumn Festival
Rewarding family members to accompany the army is not a new plan, there have been before, but they are all at the level of generals.
Don't talk about ordinary big-headed soldiers, even at the level of captains and captains, don't think about it.
Now it is planned to let the border garrison for more than eight years, and all the qualifications of the army will be rewarded, and the resettlement cost alone is an astronomical amount.
In order to properly arrange for these families, it is necessary to build a small village near each station, or to expand the size of the nearest military town.
The border of the Han Dynasty is too long, even if it is only in the north and northwest directions, it is at least more than fifty garrisons.
Even if only 300,000 yuan is invested in each station, it will add up to more than 15 million yuan, not counting the travel expenses and living expenses of military dependents.
And the actual cost, when the time comes, is far more than that, there is no budget of hundreds of millions of dollars, and I don't want to think about it.
Compared with before, Dahan is already much richer, but it is in a period of rapid development, and there are too many places where money is needed, and there is a lot of money on the books, but there is not much money in the treasury.
Last year, His Majesty proposed a money-burning water conservancy plan in the northwest, and the ministers were bald.
Now that this is the case again, the officials of the household department simply want to cry without tears, Your Majesty, can you stop a little, it is really not easy to make money.
Seeing that everyone obviously expressed their support, they were silent when it came to the details, Liu Zhi was also funny, the crown prince is still inexperienced in this kind of thing, and he can't deal with these extremely slippery old ministers.
"The military plan can be carried out in batches, and it must be voluntary, besides, soldiers who have not started a family can relax the policy, and the restrictions on marrying wives and having children in the local area can be relaxed when they reach the age."
When everyone got the hint, their thoughts immediately spread out, and the cost of marrying a wife and having children in the local area should be much smaller, and it was indeed cost-effective.
"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, the border guards are indeed hard, you can choose a group of people from the female prisoners and official prostitutes, and those who are willing to marry to the border can be exempted."
Some people start their careers, and they all use their brains to come up with ideas, as long as they can save money, one loses more than the other.
"The minister thinks that the military family members who abandon the acres of land at home and go to the frontier can exchange one acre for ten acres of land, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, haha, do you say yes?"
This is boring, is ten acres of land in the frontier comparable to one acre of land in the Central Plains? Who doesn't know that there are many people in the frontier, it's just a deceptive policy.
"Your Majesty, the people of the northwest live in yurt houses, which are convenient for grazing, and the minister thinks that there is no need to invest in the construction of civil structure houses."
……
Some of these people's suggestions are indeed pertinent, and some are completely unfeasible, and after Liu Zhi guided a few words, he stopped talking and let Liu Jin deal with it.
Anyway, in the end, he still needs to check it, and it doesn't matter what Liu Jin does in the middle, the key is to let him accumulate experience in handling government affairs.
Since Liu Zhi began to semi-delegate power, and has insisted on it for half a year without the slightest change, no matter what the courtiers below think, Liu Jin has begun to take over national affairs conscientiously.
At first, he was a little hesitant, he didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet, let alone make a bold move, but Queen Deng Meng encouraged him to show his true skills and not to deliberately shrink his head.
After careful consideration, Liu Jin finally decided to follow his mother's advice and no longer care about the retainers who admonished him every day.
His actions frightened off some of the families who were ready to get close to him, and they changed to a neutral wait-and-see, and some people even began to contact Liu Yu, the king of Xiangyang.
Helplessly, Liu Yu was concentrating on attending classes at the Academy of Sciences, but he simply ignored what was going on outside the window, and he was indifferent to the overtures to these people.
In the current situation, His Majesty's four sons, only these two are in the capital, and no one dares to contact Liu Wei, the king of Qinghe, which is a taboo thing.
The second prince Liu Zhen has been traveling for several years, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and the emperor seems to have forgotten him and has never mentioned it in public.
I don't know what this majesty thinks, and now that he is only forty years old, does he really plan to hand over power?
His Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill four years ago, and the situation at that time was special, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty strongly requested the establishment of a crown prince and the identity of the heir to be determined in case of accidents.
But now that His Majesty's body has recovered very well, and the development of the medical skills of the Han Dynasty is changing with each passing day, the curse of the short life of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years should be broken.
Therefore, no one thinks that Liu Zhi is planning to hand over power, but has other plans.
After the court meeting, Liu Zhi really put down the matter for the time being and handed it over to Liu Jin completely, but he was busy with another matter.
September was his fortieth birthday, and because he came from the afterlife, he attached more importance to this kind of thing, and he would prepare a family feast for every birthday over the years.
At that time, he gave the Empress Dowager Yun a birthday celebration with great fanfare, creating a new trend, and since then, making birthdays for the elders in the family has become popular and fashionable.
This is a good opportunity to show filial piety, the tradition of the Han Dynasty is to be filial piety, and the easiest way for ordinary literati to become famous is filial piety.
As a result, the Han Dynasty gave rise to many particularly extreme forms of filial piety, and the reason for this is that many people also deliberately used sensational methods to gain fame.
Of course, for the former poor students, they have no family background, so they can only use this way to get ahead.
But now they can take the imperial examination, and they can also take the college examination, as long as they work hard enough, there are many ways to get ahead.
Although there are fewer strange filial sons, the mainstream idea of benevolence and filial piety of the Han Dynasty has not changed, and His Majesty pays attention to celebrating the birthday of his elders, and he immediately learns it from top to bottom.
Various birthday banquets emerge one after another, and the emperor's birthday has also become a folk festival, and celebrations are held every day.
After this year's birthday, Zongzheng Mansion has long discussed to celebrate in a big way, but Liu Zhi himself is not willing, forty years old, if he can't go up or down, he can't be considered an old man.
In the end, it was Deng Meng who came forward, which persuaded Liu Zhi that he was not for anything else, but wanted to take this opportunity to gather the ministers together and talk about the establishment of the cabinet.
Therefore, still a few months ago, the imperial court issued an edict that officials of the second rank and above needed to return to the capital in person.
The kings of various places were also ordered to enter Beijing to attend the birthday banquet, including Liu Wei, the king of Qinghe, and Liu Wei, the king of Bohai, who were ordered to think behind closed doors.
This is a very subtle signal, according to His Majesty's tough personality in the past, Liu Zheng basically has no hope of entering the Beijing Face Saint for the rest of his life.
And Liu Wei, after just four years, has His Majesty forgiven him? Will there be any other changes in the future?
In August, there were already King Fan who had entered the capital one after another, and they all had a place to live in Luoyang, so they didn't need to worry about anything else, but the ministers didn't start to enter the capital until September.
With such a grand occasion, various countries also sent envoys to congratulate, including Rome, Liu Zhi hoped to know some news about his second son Liu Zhen......
