"This water balance money village is actually like a lagoon, the people have more money, they save money, and if the people have less money, they will release money, which is also of great use to the country and the people."

"So, I think this is a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, what do you Aiqing think?"

Sure enough, the new policy of the Son of Heaven always has people who suffer and someone who profits.

This time, it was the Ziqian family who made a profit from lending money that was injured, and it was the low-level soldiers and ordinary people who profited.

Unlike the previous times, after the Son of Heaven's proposal was spoken, all the cabinet scholars did not have any objection, and all of them were called the Son of Heaven Shengming.

Compared with increasing taxes and taxes, the establishment of Shuiheng Qianzhuang only harmed the interests of the Ziqian family, and there was no need for Zhang Anshi and others to stand up and oppose it.

The rain and snowflakes didn't fall on them, and of course they didn't feel cold.

Although the Maison and the Giant House are often called together, they are actually two different interest groups.

The family enlarged its family by reading the Bible or becoming an official, while the giant family accumulated wealth by trading and trading.

Although both of them are "powerful" than ordinary people, they are very different in nature, and there are even many contradictions and entanglements.

The family doesn't look down on the ugly face of the giant room for profit, and the giant room always wants to convert its economic advantages into political advantages.

For a long time, the family had a crushing advantage over the giant room, but the giant room was not willing to be lonely and was always looking for an opportunity to turn over.

It's just that under the golden rule of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, it is of course impossible for the giant room to turn the sky upside down.

Now, the new policy implemented by the Son of Heaven can slightly suppress the giant room, and of course it will be supported by Zhang Anshi and others.

After all, if there is a second Sang Hong sheep in the court, I don't know what year it will be.

Soon, Zhang Anshi and the others followed the words of the Son of Heaven and began to criticize the "viciousness" of the Qian family, and it seemed that all evil was caused by them.

Liu He looked at the indignant Zhang Anshi and the others, and just felt a little funny—how could he attack industry, commerce and handicrafts?

In Liu He's vision, only when the three legs of agriculture and industry are hardened, the big man can become stronger.

This Northwest victory is a bunch of fine vegetables and meats, and when cooked carefully, you can make a lot of delicious dishes.

Liu He's implementation of Shuiheng Qianzhuang is just a small test.

This move is not as Zhang Anshi and others thought, it is to suppress all businessmen.

It is only used to suppress the "financial giants" who exploit ordinary farmers and businessmen by lending.

The commodity economy of Dahan is not developed, but farmers and ordinary industrialists and businessmen have the need for capital turnover.

The emergence of the water balance bank can meet their financial needs and enhance their sense of security.

In this way, land annexation can be discouraged, and the development of industry and commerce can also be promoted.

One thing that kills multiple birds with one stone, and it happens to be supported by Zhang Anshi and others, so it is much easier to implement.

Liu He asked Fan Ke to bring in a few copies of "Qian Zhuang Hui Yao" and handed them over to Zhang Anshi and others.

The operation mode of the money bank described in it is something new that they have never seen before, although it is a little difficult to understand, but they can also see the subtlety.

"Your Majesty Shengming, this water balance money village is excellent, and it will definitely be able to make the people of the world and the soldiers of the Han army profitable." Zhang Anshi praised repeatedly, and others also echoed.

So, in the midst of this back and forth, the matter of opening Shuiheng Money Village was decided.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, this is another groundbreaking experience, but it is just an appetizer today, and it is not a major event that Liu He wants to talk about with Zhang Anshi and others.

Since there is good news coming today, what we have to talk about is, of course, "military affairs."

After Zhang Anshi and others put away "Qian Zhuang Meeting", Liu He cleared his throat and finally entered today's topic.

"There is good news today, of course I still have to discuss military affairs with you Aiqing......"

"These twenty Changyi Lang have all made great contributions, and only five of them can still stay in the ranks, and I want them to be promoted to the rank of knight."

It seems that the promotion of officials and lords can improve a person's status and power, but in fact, they are two different things.

The Han Dynasty still nominally retained the military merit title system, but after Emperor Xiaowu's operations of selling official titles, it has tended to collapse.

Those who pay more will have a high title; Those who pay little money have low titles.

Although there is an upper limit on the number of titles that can be sold, and there is a new name of "Martial Arts Lord", it is an indisputable fact that titles are proliferating.

There are eleven levels of this martial arts lord from high to low.

They are the Maker, the Idle Guard, the Good Soldier, the Yuan Rong Scholar, the Official, the Bingduo, the Qianfu, the Leqing, the Zhirong, the Political Chief, and the Military Guard.

Each upgrade to these titles cost 170,000 yuan, and in one year, they earned 300,000 gold for the Han Empire.

At that time, when the title reached the "head of the official", he could be promoted to an official first, and he had the opportunity to become an official, which made the rule of the Han officials even more chaotic.

The flood of celebrities has something to do with Emperor Xiaowu's "Manjue", but the charges should not all be borne by him.

On the contrary, it was Emperor Xiaowu who squeezed out the last bit of value of the title in exchange for a large amount of military spending.

In the Qin and early Han dynasties, people attached great importance to the title because they could be granted a field house when they obtained the title, and the field house was the most important thing for the people.

At the time of the change of dynasties, wars were frequent and many people died.

There are not only opportunities to make meritorious contributions everywhere in the world, but also countless ownerless fields and newly occupied fields, and these two conditions are the basis for the implementation of the military merit title system.

With the stability and development of the new dynasty, the wind of land annexation became more and more intense, the population continued to increase, and there were fewer and fewer lands without ownership, and there were fewer and fewer fields that could be granted.

As a result, under the frequent use of soldiers, there are more and more soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, but they cannot be awarded a field house, and the military merit title system is in name only

Emperor Xiaowu's title is to sell the title that is almost useless, and at least he can receive some money.

In the Han army, holding a military position is related to a title, so for professional recruitment, the title still has a certain role.

But out of the Han army, the middle and low-level civil lords had almost no value.

The title of military merit is false, how can the soldiers of the Han army sacrifice their lives to die?

The feudal marquis that people often mention specifically refers to the marquis of Guannei and the liehous - only these two levels of titles have weight.

Liu He proposed to add officials to these five Changyi Lang, and of course Zhang Anshi immediately heard the implication of his words.

Entering the knighthood is secondary, and adding officials is the priority.

The Son of Heaven wants to cultivate his cronies in the army.

Zhang Anshi was not surprised by this matter, the Son of Heaven is only now installing cronies in the Han army, which is already slow.

In the months since his accession to the throne, the Son of Heaven has overthrown Huo Guang and received the support of Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng, and Wang Ji and An Le, the former ministers of Changyi, have also mastered part of the military power.

However, these people were only the "high-level" of the Han army, and did not directly command the troops.

If the Son of Heaven wants to master the Han army, he must not only master the "high-level" of the Han army, but also the "middle-level" of the Han army-naturally the captains and military marquis who lead the army.

On the same day, Fan Mingyou and others suddenly rebelled, not only because Huo Guang was a general, but Fan Mingyou was a general of Duliao; What's more, most of the lieutenant colonels and lieutenants in the army are the children of the Fan Huo family.

The captain of the first battalion can get along with the soldiers of the first battalion day and night, and the military marquis of the first battalion can sleep and eat with the soldiers of the first battalion, and their prestige among the soldiers is naturally extremely high.

It seems that the Son of Heaven wants these five Changyi Lang to be military marquis or captains.

"Your Majesty, General Han and General Zhao are the pillars of the army, and you can listen to their opinions on this matter."

Zhang Anshi was reluctant to meddle in military affairs, so he immediately threw this problem to Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo.

This is a smart approach, military power is the most important thing, and it is better not to participate if you can.

"Han Qing, what do you think about this matter?" Liu He asked again.

"Jin Jue should be based on military merit, and military merit should be measured by the number of enemies killed......"

"The good news doesn't mention how many enemies these five people have killed, so they can't be promoted to knighthood according to the usual practice."

Han Zeng's words were very tactful, but they were also very clear.

The goal of the Son of Heaven is to give them officials, and the title is only the standard for adding officials, and there is no need to limit them too much.

The Son of Heaven wants to add any officials to them, and then give them the same title in turn.

"I intend to give these five people the promotion of five doctors, and then put them in the army to be military marquises." Liu He said.

The prince has jurisdiction over five hundred soldiers, and although these Changyi Lang are only about twenty years old, they have made great achievements, and they can still retreat with their whole body, and they are not idle people.

It makes perfect sense to let them serve as princes.

At the moment, Han Zeng and Zhao Chongguo have a little more respect for the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven did not easily promote his cronies in order to control the Han army, and this alone was much more clever than Huo Guang and Fan Mingyou.

As a result, these two generals in the Han army immediately praised the Son of Heaven for "clear rewards and punishments".

In fact, Liu He didn't want to completely master all the Han army, but now is not the time, Chang Yilang, who he trusts, has to go through more training.

Junhou, it's already a good starting point.

Arranging five military marquis is still a trivial matter, and Liu He is finally about to talk about a big thing.

This major event is naturally the third round of the New Deal - the reform of the Han Army.

The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, we have to find a good entry point.

Liu He thought for a moment, picked up the good news on the table, and after reading it repeatedly for a long time, he finally put it back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether it is to set up a water balance money village, or to add an official to Changyi Lang, this is a trivial matter......"

"Next, I want to discuss something important with you." Liu He said seriously and seriously.

"Your Majesty will train you, and we will do our best." Zhang Anshi took the lead in mentioning.

"Before discussing this matter, I would like to ask you Aiqing, what do you think of this good news?" Liu He pointed to the good news on the case and asked.

Liu He's question seems to be asking how the good news is, but it is actually asking "how the Han should deal with the Xiongnu in the coming year".

After Emperor Xiaowu, the Han Dynasty did not use troops against the Xiongnu for more than ten years, and the countries of the Western Regions gradually fell into the deterrence of the Xiongnu.

Although relying on the "audacity and recklessness" of envoys such as Chang Hui and Fu Jiezi, the Han Dynasty can maintain a sense of presence in the Western Regions, but it is inevitable that the Western Regions will be the head of the rats.

Huo Guang had the intention to restart the war against the Huns, but whether it was now or in the original history, in the end, it was hastily concluded, but it was the Wusun Kingdom that won a big victory.

At this moment, history has come to a corner again.

The decision Liu He will make next will affect the trend of the Han and Xiongnu, and even the trend of the entire Eurasian continent.

"Old General Zhao, you have led your troops to Mobei several times, and you have clashed with Qiang several times, I want to hear your opinion."

"The old minister thought that this great victory was comparable to the great victory of Mobei during the time of Emperor Xiaowu, and the strength of the Huns was greatly damaged, and they did not dare to invade the territory of our Han Dynasty for thirty or fifty years." Zhao Chong National Road.

"What does Han Qing think about this?" Liu He turned to Han Zengdao again.

"Weichen also thinks that this victory is commendable, but unfortunately it was not taken by the Han army." Han Zeng said with regret.

When the rest of the Wenchen heard this, they all showed regret, and there was a trace of shame under this regret.

The dignified man sent hundreds of thousands of troops, not only did he not make any gains, but also caused a turmoil that swept through several counties, which was really ugly.

And the Wusun Kingdom, which is a vassal country, has won a big victory, which makes the face of the Han even more ugly.

And not only is it ugly, but it can also make the Wusun Kingdom and the Western Regions countries despise the Han Dynasty, and then deviate from Germany, causing a new crisis.

This is the relationship between the Han and the subject state, in a very delicate balance - the slightest carelessness can lead to overturning.

Fortunately, Chang Hui took twenty Changyi Lang to participate in the victory, which saved a trace of face for the Han.

Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone looking at the Son of Heaven once again became respectful.

When Huo Guang sent troops, the Son of Heaven spoke out several times to dissuade him, but he was rejected by Huo Guang, and these courtiers also secretly laughed at the Son of Heaven for not knowing soldiers.

But if there is no such unknown son of heaven to take precautions, I am afraid that the face of the big man will be lost to Jiaozhi.

"You Aiqing seems to have something to say, you might as well say it bluntly, the cabinet duty room is a place to speak freely." Liu He said.

"Lao Chen led his troops to attack the Huns last year, but he failed to achieve an inch of success, he was really embarrassed, and he couldn't stand the people of the world." Zhao Chongguo blamed himself.

"Weichen and General Zhao have the same feelings, and when they see this good news today, they naturally feel even more ashamed." Han Zeng also sighed.

It can be seen that both of them have a heart to make contributions.

Although they have indeed made great contributions, they have done so to counterbalance the rebellion, not to expand the territory, and there will always be regrets.

"The two generals don't have to blame themselves, they failed to make meritorious contributions, the blame is not on the two of you, but on Huo Guangji's henchmen......"

"If it weren't for Huo Yu and others fornicating with the Huns, and telling the Huns about the strategy of the Han army's expedition early, how could you return in vain?"

"No matter how brave and good the Wusun Kingdom is, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve the current victory."

"There is no need to blame yourself for this matter, the past is over, Zhongqing should look forward and think about how the big man should plan."

Under Liu He's sincere reassurance and exhortation, Zhao Chongguo and Han Zeng thanked them again, and their solemn faces finally eased slightly.

Then, Zhang Anshi and others also expressed their own opinions.

"Weichen thinks that no matter how the victory is taken, it is an indisputable fact that the Huns were damaged, and the border is peaceful, which is the luck of the Han Dynasty." (End of chapter)
