Dayu arrived in the second year of Jianyuan, the country has basically been pacified, and the grassland in the north and Liaodong have almost completely solved the troubles.

And the pacification of these neighboring countries, which is inseparable from the efforts of the soldiers of the army, they threw their heads and spilled blood, just to keep Dayu safe.

So during this time, Xia Jing has been pondering the household registration reform of military households.

This is a major national event, and she has discussed it with several important generals in the Gyeonggi camp before, and they support this policy 100%, as generals, they naturally hope that the soldiers under their command can be treated well by the imperial court.

Xia Jing came to Li Jingfu the day after he arrived in the capital.

"Why did you take the initiative to come and say hello to me today?" Li Jingfu was still having breakfast in the palace, and when he saw Xia Jing coming, he was still very happy.

Xia Jing rolled her eyes in her heart, this man who is narcissistic enough!

However, in front of outsiders, she might as well save some face for him, and the rules and regulations bent her knees slightly: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace!" ”

"Get up, you and I are husband and wife, you don't have to see each other like this in the future!"

Li Jingfu put down the spoon and asked with a smile: "Did the queen have breakfast?" Do you want to use it with me? ”

"Thanks, I've used it." Xia Jing glanced at the breakfast on the table and found a place to sit down.

Li Jingfu saw Xia Jing sit down, and after a palace maid served tea, he took a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xia Jing frowned slightly, and her face couldn't help but become serious: "The emperor is in Jiankang, and he has always been like this?" ”

Li Jingfu had food in his mouth, and it was difficult to answer.

As his personal eunuch, Anu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and stepped forward to reply: "Hui Niangniang, the emperor. The emperor is doing this to replenish his body."

It's really hard to reply, he remembered that when he was in Lingnan, Niangniang set a recipe for the emperor, and there was a regulation and a ration for what to eat for three meals a day.

When he arrived in Jiankang, at first the emperor insisted on using the recipes given by Niangniang, but later. I have a lot of physical strength, and I slowly began to eat again.

Xia Jing looked at Li Jingfu, "If your body exercises on time and eats according to the recipe I gave, it is impossible to have a situation where you need to replenish your body, looking at your current physical condition, it is very empty!" ”

Li Jingfu put down the dishes and chopsticks in a daze, took the Jinpa handed over by the palace maid and wiped his mouth, "It's sometimes. I feel overwhelmed. ”

Xia Jing sneered, she understood when she heard this, what is the weakness!

"You've been squirming for most of your life, and you won't change your ways when you're old, and when you get caught one day, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Li Jingfu thought about that kind of romantic death, he trembled with fright, and his voice weakened, "Queen, man"

Xia Jing frowned, "Don't tell me anything about men, men, if a man can't control his lower body when he is old, it is estimated that he will be hopeless!" If you want to continue, I advise you to pass the throne to Xiao Wu first and then continue to play, so as not to get the wind immediately, make the Dayu imperial power competition, the court is smoky, and the country is stormy! ”

Anu, who was standing next to her, gasped when she heard this, in front of the emperor, only the queen dared to speak so unscrupulously.

What is dead or alive, even the inheritance of the throne dares to say it at will, she is not afraid that the emperor will taboo this?

Li Jingfu looked down at his body, a little worried: "Empress, my body is already so bad?" ”

Xia Jing glanced at him and was silent.

Li Jingfu stroked his forehead and sighed: "You just want me to pass the throne to Xiao Wu so much?" ”

Xia Jing sighed in her heart, and since the words had already been said here, she took out a map from her sleeve pocket.

"The emperor came to see this map."

Li Jingfu's curiosity arose, he got up and walked over, sat next to Xia Jing, he stared at Yutu and asked, "Queen, is this Yutu?" ”

Xia Jing nodded and pointed to one of the pieces of land: "Your Majesty, this is where our Dayu is located, the northern grassland used to be connected to a larger land, and the same is true in the northwest, and this island across the sea in Liaodong is the main island of the Japanese Invaders, and the southeast coast has been coming from this island in recent years. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the South Seas, "Now our fleet is stationed here in Luzon, and there is still a large area of land from Luzon to the south, some of these continents are still ownerless, and some have indigenous people, or are waiting for us to occupy and develop. ”

Li Jingfu's eyes widened in shock, "Overseas land is so vast? ”

Xia Jing chuckled: "Yes, the size of heaven and earth is unimaginable, so, may I ask the emperor, am I impatient to inherit your throne?" ”

Li Jingfu withdrew his gaze from the map and looked at Xia Jing solemnly: "What do you want to tell me about this today?" ”

Xia Jing looked at the world map with a yearning face: "Now that Dayu Haiyan River is clear, I want to organize a fleet to go to sea together, go around overseas, and loot wealth and transport it back to Dayu." Originally, I wanted to ask you if you would like to go with you, but I was a little afraid that you would think too much. So, I don't know how to speak, so I'm going to tell you about it right now. ”

"You want to take me to sea with you?" Li Jingfu never thought that Xia Jing had such thoughts, and he couldn't come back to his senses in shock.

Sea!

He had never thought about this kind of thing, but looking at the world map, he was a little shamefully moved.

It's just that

"With my age here, can I really go with you to the sea?"

Xia Jing didn't answer him immediately, but pointed to the poison: "Your Majesty, do you know what is abundant here?" ”

"What is abundant?" Li Jingfu looked at the map, and raised his head to look at Xia Jing in confusion.

Xia Jing hooked her lips and smiled: "Gold!" ”

"Bang dang!"

Xia Jing and Li Jingfu followed the prestige.

Anu pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, whether to laugh or not, laughing was more ugly than crying, "The old slave said that he was shocked just now, do you believe it?" ”

"Faith!" Li Jingfu laughed: "Don't say you're shocked, I'm also stunned!" Rich in gold, how can there be such a good place, so rich in gold! ”

Li Jingfu asked Xia Jing curiously: "Since this country is rich in gold, don't the people of this country have to make money to support their families?" ”

“.” Xia Jing looked at Li Jingfu speechlessly: "Your Majesty, even if gold falls from the sky, you have to get up early to pick it up, not to mention that gold is not everywhere!" There are also ordinary people in their country, as well as royalty and nobility. ”

Well, this question is too childish, Li Jingfu scratched his nose, the place rich in gold really made him excited.

Don't ask why, although the emperor is rich all over the world, but when he encounters a disaster, the treasury is also stretched.

In order to alleviate the emperor's embarrassment, Xia Jing remembered the purpose of her coming.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time to talk to you about the reform of military household registration and other issues."

"Military household registration reform?" Li Jingfu didn't know what Xia Jing was doing.

Xia Jing pondered for a while, and then bowed her head: "Well, it means that the military household is no longer hereditary." In the future, when you become a soldier, you can get a military salary, and after you leave the army, you will be an ordinary commoner, you can do business, farm, become a craftsman, and you can decide which industry to do at will. If they have been in the army for more than 15 years and have a pension when they are old, that is, the imperial court will give them a monthly subsidy, so that they can enjoy their old age in peace. There is also a one-time compensation for disabled soldiers, and the imperial court will appropriately pay some monthly subsidies to ensure their basic livelihood. ”

Li Jingfu listened to her words, was silent for a long time, and finally cleared his throat, looked up at Xia Jing's face that seemed to have left no traces of time in the past few years, and his tone was quite soothing: "Ahem, queen, I know that you attach importance to the soldiers, and they are worthy of being treated well by the imperial court for the bloody struggle for Dayu." ”

As he spoke, his words changed: "It's just that if you implement the military household reform you mentioned, do you know how much burden the treasury will have to bear?" ”

Xia Jing proposed this policy, naturally because she understood the pressure on the treasury, so she listened to his question, and bowed her head: "I know that it is not easy for Dayu to restore order, and there are many places to use money all over the country, just to let Dayu continue to develop for a long time, and reform is only the first step."

We can't stop reforming just because the treasury can't support it temporarily, we can only say that when the treasury is empty, we take our time, step by step, down-to-earth, and steadily advance. ”

Li Jingfu felt that her words were reasonable, but a little unrealistic, "Queen, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in Dayu's world?" How many casualties are there each year? And how many people have been discharged from the military due to disability? ”

Xia Jing has seen the twists and turns presented from all over the country, and the military department has counted the number of people, so she naturally knows, but because there are difficulties in front of her, she can't improve the situation of the soldiers who defend the family and the country.

"Your Majesty, I know that it is a bit difficult to implement it throughout the country at present, but we can first implement the reform on a pilot basis at the border gates and send special envoys to supervise it. Now that the military salary of Dayu soldiers has been on the right track, we only need to reform the household registration of the border pass military tun to complete this reform. ”

Li Jingfu looked at Xia Jing with a headache, "You are so persistent, do you know how many soldiers have been sacrificed at the border every year over the years?" How much money is paid out for casualties per person? ”

Xia Jing through this military household registration reform, is to use actions to improve the social status of Dayu soldiers.

In the past in Dayu, the military household is only slightly better than the slave nationality, in addition to not having to enslave the master's family, they have no personal freedom, the military household is not allowed to leave the place of household registration casually, nor can the imperial examination to do business, a military household unless the great merit has been granted by the emperor, otherwise the family has been a military household for generations.

Xia Jing rubbed her wrist and persuaded helplessly: "Your Majesty, we need time to verify the casualties over the years, but we can first compensate for the current casualties, and when Dayu's development is getting better and better, I believe that the list of casualties over the years should also be sorted out." Don't forget, body poison is abundant in gold! ”

“.” Li Jingfu looked at her indescribably, and you are thinking about the little gold on other people's land.

If it can't be grabbed, will the reform of military household registration stagnate?

Xia Jing saw that he did not refute, and then said: "From the hereditary military household system that has been used to the recruitment system, the people join the army, one person joins the army, the whole family is glorious, not only can be treated preferentially by the imperial court, but also can receive considerable military salaries, this is one of them."

Second, during the period of joining the army, soldiers who have made meritorious contributions or joined the army for more than 15 years will have a monthly court subsidy when they reach the age after they are discharged from the army, which is enough for him to enjoy his old age in peace. The imperial court has relieved their worries in this way, and I believe that the enthusiasm of the people will naturally increase, what do you think, Your Majesty? ”

Of course, at the beginning of the restoration of order in the imperial court, there were many things waiting for reform, waiting for them to do and improve, and it can only be said that things must be done step by step.

What can Li Jingfu say, of course he knows the importance of the army to a country, for example, this time Dayu has internal and external troubles, if it were not for the powerful army trained later, they would not have been able to turn defeat into victory.

It's just that

Or the problem that Dayu is too poor.

He asked tentatively, "Why don't we try to do it regionally and see how it works?" ”

Xia Jing was overjoyed when she heard this, "With your words, I am relieved." ”

Li Jingfu saw a smile on Xia Jing's face, and his mood couldn't help but relax, he pulled the world map in Xia Jing's hand, and said with a smile: "This world map is placed here in me, take it out from time to time and take a look, so as to remind yourself to always work hard, so as not to fall into pleasure!" ”

The map was withdrawn from his hand, which made Xia Jing slightly stunned, and then listening to what he said, she couldn't help but look at him seriously suspiciously.

Li Jingfu couldn't stand her suspicious gaze, so he pretended to look back at her seriously: "What? The queen doesn't believe in me? ”

Xia Jing retracted her gaze and sighed: "I hope the emperor will always remain in this state today!" ”

"Hey, anyway, you still don't believe me!" Li Jingfu was bitter.

Today, she can calmly discuss things with the emperor, and she is standing in the case of consistent interests, and Xia Jing can only try to keep the interests of the two consistent in order to balance this relationship.

Next, the specific implementation measures for the reform of military household registration will be discussed by Li Jingfu and the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they still need to refine and implement the details of the reform.

Of course, every reform is indispensable for opposing voices, and this policy violates the interests of many people, first of all, the civilian bureaucracy, who and the honorable nobles will be natural rivals.

The sworn enemy can get preferential treatment from the imperial court, but they are not convinced!

How many ministers with gray temples standing in the court, they have contributed decades of their youth to the court, and the generals and soldiers can receive subsidies when they reach the age limit, should they also receive subsidies from the imperial court when they reach the age limit?

The implementation rules have not yet been discussed, and the court has already quarreled, and Li Jingfu has been punished in the court during this time.

Listening to the court arguing every day, the noise gives him a headache!

Xia Jing and Li Chengmu both insisted on implementing it, and under the strength of the two, the opposition of the court's official group was even greater.

In a fit of rage, Li Jingfu threw the most vocal opponent of the household department Shangshu Zhang out of the Qinzheng Palace and dismissed him from his official position.

The courtiers were really angry when they saw the emperor, and the civil officials immediately instigated a group.

Li Jingfu retreated and ran to Qingning Palace, "Queen, now that you are killing chickens and monkeys, those courtiers are frightened, but you have to compensate for a household book, otherwise there will be no problem in the household department for a short time, and I am afraid that there will be problems after a long time!" ”

Tobe Shangshu?

Xia Jing asked the maid to make a bowl of lotus root noodles for the emperor, "Recently, you have been more angry, eat a bowl of lotus root noodles to reduce the fire." As for the Tobe Shangshu you mentioned, who supported you the most when you were weak? Now that you are the ruler of the world, do you have to promote him? ”

Li Jingfu took a bite of the lotus root noodles handed over by the maid, listened to her words, and asked with a confused face: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Xia Jing stirred the lotus root powder in the bowl and glanced at him: "At first, I just came to Lingnan to establish diplomatic relations with us, and later he also had a presence in the counterinsurgency, and now you have inherited the throne, and he is the most active in paying taxes, this person is Yuan Rujiang, the assassin of Jingzhou!" ”
