Although the Tang Dynasty relied on this set to kill all sides in the early days, history has proven that it cannot last long.

Zhu Ming uses a two-tax system, which cannot be matched with the government soldier system, so his subordinates are definitely not government soldiers.

But in order to have super morale as soon as possible, Zhu Ming tried to use the land to reward his military exploits while distributing military salaries. This method can not only quickly become an army, but also save some military salaries.

Judging from the military salary standard alone, the salaries of the soldiers under Zhu Ming are lower than those of the Great Song Forbidden Army.

In areas where there is no wasteland, you can also start from Terada. For example, the Chengdu garrison under Bai Qi received the temple field of Zhaojue Temple, which was all fertile and ripe, and the number of rewards was definitely less.

On the contrary, it is Zhu Ming's personal soldiers, who have high wages and no land.

Three thousand heavy armored infantry, hundreds of musketeers, and hundreds of tiger squat gunners, this is Zhu Ming's direct subordinate troops. Currently stationed in Xiangyang, Zhu Ming has promised that he will reward them with the fertile soil of the Central Plains!

In the later stage, it will definitely be adjusted, the amount of food and salary will be increased, and the land will no longer be distributed.

But at least in the early stage of the battle against the Jin soldiers, Zhu Ming's soldiers were all small landlords or yeoman farmers with land. As long as the rewards and punishments are clear, this kind of army composed of good families has super combat effectiveness in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Zhu Ming went north to inspect several military camps and reclamation areas, and then took Zhang Guangdao to the border to inspect.

In the previous Battle of Gangneung, Zhang Guangdao did not have any outstanding achievements, and was always in charge of the entire Eastern Front battlefield, confronting Zhong Xiang's Eastern Route Army in Hanyang.

Zhang Guangdao, like Li Bao, is positioned as handsome, not an ordinary general.

"The big and small passes are all in our hands," Zhang Guangdao stood on the big pass, pointing to the border of the Song Kingdom in the north, "Our army can go north at any time, but it is not easy for officers and soldiers to enter." ”

Daguankou was called Zhangguan in ancient times, it was the location of the Zhangguo in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there are still remnants of the Great Wall of Chu of the Warring States.

Now there is no Guancheng, only between the two mountains, there is a winding path to pass, and there is a square platform of hundreds of square meters at the entrance of the passage. Zhang Guangdao built a walled fort here, which is also a commercial passage, and can collect a lot of tolls every year.

Shi Yuangong rode a horse and followed behind: "In the county seat of Ye County, there are no less than ten fine works hidden. Half of them, who live in the county government's house, are the servants of the Ye County Order. ”

"The county order is already his own?" Zhu Ming said with a smile.

Shi Yuangong introduced: "The county order is called Lu Chu, and the second year of Zhenghe is a jinshi. His elder brother Lu Rong was also admitted to the Jinshi two years ago. Seventy years ago, his great-grandfather moved from Henan to Fujian to do business, but his business failed and he fell into poverty and fell into the Chen family in Yongfu (Yongtai) County. Later, a descendant was admitted to the Jinshi, so he changed back to the surname Lu, and now there are three Jinshi. ”

"Three Jinshi, it's not easy to get rich." Zhu Ming commented objectively.

In fact, this Yongfu Lu clan, from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, was admitted to nine Jinshi in more than 100 years. From the descendants of his son-in-law, he became a Fujian family.

Shi Yuangong said: "Lu Chu once studied with Mr. Zhimo (Chen Yuan), and he can be called the same family as the generalissimo. He used to be a county commander in Guanzhong, and after being captured by our army, he claimed to be the generalissimo's junior brother, and if he was quietly released, he would be willing to cooperate with our army. I used some money to give Li Bangyan gifts, and asked Li Bangyan to arrange for Lu Chu to be the county magistrate of Ye County. ”

"Do you want to cooperate, but don't want to surrender?" Zhu Ming had the impression that Shi Yuangong had reported the matter.

Shi Yuangong said: "It's also a two-headed bet, and he doesn't want to vote directly, but the governance is not bad." The court of the Song Kingdom asked Ruzhou Taishou to train troops to guard against us, and Ruzhou Taishou asked Lu Chu to train troops. Lu Chu used all the money and food for military training to resettle the displaced people and prevent the number of displaced people in his territory from continuing to increase. Nowadays, there are no decent officers and soldiers in Ye County, but the people can barely get by. As soon as our army arrived, Ye County surrendered. ”

Zhu Ming said: "That Ge Taishou in Ruzhou, has his attitude towards us changed? ”

Shi Yuangong replied: "I still chant poems every day, practice Taoism, travel between mountains and rivers, and try not to collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people can survive." I sent Hosaku to make contact, but he was neither willing to cooperate nor order Hasaku to be arrested. ”

"It's good to be able to do this, and it's worthy of being a person who is famous all over the world." Zhu Ming didn't think that all the officials would take refuge in him.

Ruzhou Taishou is called Ge Shengzhong, and he has passed the macro vocabulary examination, and Qin Hui is the one who turned over.

The macro word department belongs to Enke is not permanent, and a maximum of five people are admitted at a time, and at least only one person is admitted, and those who can win this are all top literati.

And Ge Shengzhong, known as the nine-year-old Nengwen, the fifteen-year-old general history, and the sixteen-year-old Zhongjuren.

Because of his high literary and artistic attainments, and his mastery of family classics, Ge Shengzhong was highly appreciated by Song Huizong in his early years. Later, he was strongly criticized against Huashigang, so he was degraded by the emperor. A young and ambitious Juncai, still working as a governor in his forties.

Now, Ruzhou, governed by Ge Shengzhong, is next to Zhu Ming's territory, and the people are still being exploited by Xicheng.

He was completely flat, as if he couldn't see anything.

It is impossible to recruit troops to defend against the Zhu thief. As long as he dares to spend money and food to train his troops, and he can't prevent the Zhu thief, not to mention, the people in his jurisdiction will definitely rebel first.

Defecting to Zhu Thief, Ge Shengzhong was unwilling.

Even, Ge Shengzhong didn't want to offend the Zhu thief, and he didn't arrest the fine work sent by Shi Yuangong to contact.

Zhu Ming smiled: "I will personally write a letter to him." ”

……

Ruzhou, the state city.

Ge Shengzhong was half drunk again, but rode a donkey back to the state government slowly.

Ge Lifang really couldn't get used to it, so he helped his father get off the donkey, and reproached: "What if you don't care about your body so much, if you get drunk and fall down?" ”

"It's good to fall to death," Ge Shengzhong said with a smile, "I don't want to look at this muddy world." ”

Ge Lifang said: "Then resign as soon as possible and go home to live in seclusion." ”

Ge Shengzhong shook his head: "Although I have a vegetarian meal in Ruzhou, it is better than others to be too guarded, at least I can leave a way for the people of Ruzhou to live." I just hope that the Zhu thief will be killed as soon as possible, whether it is martyrdom or escape, let's end this chaos as soon as possible. I can only fill in the words and cultivate the Tao, and I like to drink and have fun, but I can't govern the country well. Zhu Thief has the ability, so let him come. ”

"If that's the case, why doesn't my father follow the thief?" Ge Lifang asked.

Ge Shengzhong said: "The Lu of the king cannot be a thief. ”

Ge Lifang said: "In the text, Zhu Thief said that the officials of the world are not eating Junlu, but eating people's fat and ointment. ”

"That's right, we all eat the fat and the ointment," Ge Shengzhong said, "but in life, there must be some perseverance, and I can't do what I do as a thief." ”

This father and son are not well-known in the history books, but they left many words to be passed on to future generations.

In fact, Ge Shengzhong knows how to govern the people, and he is also an educator. When he was the governor of Yanzhou, he personally compiled textbooks, which not only required students to study Confucian classics, but also required them to learn relevant knowledge such as laws, Jingmin, feudal towns, wealth and strength, food and goods, and a wide variety of military, civil affairs, commerce, and laws.

Ge even knows some simple economics.

However, his knowledge and ideas could not be implemented at all, and he was always hindered everywhere. Even when he was appreciated by Song Huizong, he only asked him to fill in the words all day long and discuss with him how to cultivate, and the monarchs and ministers did not talk about how to govern the country at all.

"Xianggong, someone asked to see him and sent a letter in." The old servant said nervously.

Ge Shengzhong looked at the servant's expression and knew that there was another fine work to touch.

That Zhu thief is becoming more and more unscrupulous!

"Stand down." Ge Shengzhong took the letter and said.

The father and son went to the study together, Ge Shengzhong opened the letter, only read one and looked up, then hurriedly went to see the payment, and then said in horror: "It's a handwritten letter from Zhu Thief, quickly light the candle, this must be burned!" ”

Ge Lifang said: "Father, don't burn it, the child wants to collect the ink treasure of the Zhu thief." Although there are not many poems in Zhu Thief, they are all hand-me-downs, and Mobao is even more rare. ”

"What are you thinking?" Ge Shengzhong couldn't laugh or cry.

Like his father, Ge Lifang was also known as a prodigy, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he was familiar with scripture and history, and he especially liked Zhu Ming's poetry and learning.

Ge Lifang said: "Even if you want to burn it, you can see what is written." ”

Ge Shengzhong read it carefully, the content was very simple, and he did not persuade him to submit.

At the beginning, there were some words of admiration, first affirming Ge Shengzhong's academic attainments, praising him for his resolute opposition to Hua Shigang, and then agreeing that he was kind to the people. Then, in a tone similar to that of a student, Zhu Ming asked Ge Shengzhong for advice on the art of governing the people.

"I'm ashamed," Ge Shengzhong said with emotion, "Tens of thousands of displaced people poured into the territory of the Zhu thief, and he can calmly settle down, where is the need to ask me how to govern the people?" ”

Ge Lifang took the letter and read it, and exclaimed: "This true virtuous gentleman also has the demeanor of a virtuous gentleman, Mr. Zhu has both ability and political integrity, is known for his strong governance, and also occupies a huge land, and he is still able to be a virtuous corporal and humbly ask the officials of the enemy country. Today, if you can get half a point with Mr. Zhu, the country will not be like this. ”

Ge Shengzhong said: "He wants to accept my heart!" ”

"Such a courteous corporal and humble heart, what about giving him a heart?" Ge Lifang said, "When my father was an official in front of the Son of Heaven, did the Son of Heaven ask my father about politics? ”

Ge Shengzhong shook his head: "The Son of Heaven only talks about poetry and calligraphy, and only asks me how to cultivate. ”

Ge Lifang said: "My father was full of knowledge, so he couldn't bear to waste it? Mr. Zhu's Taoism is actually similar to his father's idea. My father paid attention to people's livelihood, and in his early years, he wrote three articles, "Rich and Strong", "Food and Goods", and "Jingmin", isn't it exactly what Mr. Zhu said? The learning of Taoism will be the study of the new dynasty. The truth that my father admired will be able to pass through the world in the future! ”

Ge Shengzhong was a little tempted and re-read the letter.

Zhu Ming's praise and admiration in the letter, and even asking for advice, made him feel respected, and he had an urge to die for his confidant.

This is different from when facing the faint monarch, although he is proficient in literature and Taoism, the faint monarch always asks him for these things, and does not talk about how to govern the country at all, which will only make Ge Shengzhong feel extremely disgusted.

Ge Shengzhong often compares himself to Jia Yi, but he is pitiful and has a blank seat in the middle of the night!

"Let me think again." Ge Shengzhong didn't mention burning the letters, let alone opening his mouth and closing his mouth.
