With another banquet three days later, Fusu had already met with most of the officials in Kanto and Guanzhong, and also told the next actions of the court to the hundred officials.

Ten days later.

Just when the city was still curious, when Fusu invited the two banquets to be the case, a notice was posted in the city so clearly.

After reading the contents of the notice.

The originally curious people in the city also immediately knew what had happened before.

His Majesty intends to establish several special economic zones in the Kanto region.

However, there is very little useful information leaked in the notice about what a special economic zone is and what it is going to do, and it needs to be announced in the future.

West Side.

The notice in the city also reached Ji Heng's ears, and Ji Heng understood Fusu's approach after a little thought, nodded, and shook his head again.

Forthwith.

He opened a letter.

This is the letter sent by Fusu today.

The handwriting on the letter is very concise and simple, but it exudes a quaint atmosphere, which is Fusu's handwritten letter.

letter.

Fusu spoke his mind.

He decided to reform the system of the world, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was not the worries of the hundred officials and the curiosity of the local officials, and the matter was urgent.

When it is really implemented, it is basically impossible without three or five years, and he does not dare to make such a big move rashly, if it disrupts the current pace of development, it will actually outweigh the losses.

He needed to observe first.

In particular, it is necessary to look at the actual situation of these special economic zones, so that he can make a decision in the future.

Today's Fusu has become more cautious, more mature and steady, and will not really push forward the idea as soon as his head is hot.

Rather, there will be some screening and trade-offs.

Easy first, then harder.

To look at the after-effects of simple reforms, and then slowly figure out the rest.

It is already the image of Mingjun.

In the letter, Fusu believed that the world was centralized, and the first thing should be a soldier, and only if the military power was not lost, could he, the emperor, sit firmly in the world.

This is what the First Emperor told him.

With the pacification of the Kwantung region, the world's soldiers and horses have expanded rapidly, and now there are more than one million, and such a huge number of troops consume a huge amount of grain and grass every day.

For this.

Fusu decided to fill some of the Kwantung soldiers into the two major corps of the South China Sea and the Northern Plains according to the previous plan, and at the same time retired some of the old soldiers of Guanzhong who had served in the year.

In turn, the goal of streamlining the ranks of soldiers was achieved.

According to Fusu's estimates, after this streamlining, at least two or three hundred thousand Qin people can come back from Guanzhong, and 100,000 people from Guandong can also be released.

It is a great inspiration for the world.

It's just that he is anxious about one thing now, that is, how to reward meritorious deeds, many soldiers in Han Xin's hands are not 'Qin pawns' in the strict sense, nor are they levied by the imperial court.

But these people did indeed make military merits in the war to pacify the Kwantung region, and they should indeed be rewarded with merit, but according to the military lord system, Daqin had too much money and food to give.

He didn't want to.

I really don't want to take it out.

There was just money in the Great Qin Mansion, and he took it out again at once, which really made Fusu feel a little distressed.

Therefore, Fusu wanted to take a trick.

This part of the soldiers who are not registered in the register are not rewarded for their military exploits, but are judged by the arrest of thieves in the "Law of Thieves".

And so it goes.

The money and food given by the court will be much less.

At the same time, with the help of this method, Han Xin's prestige in the army was weakened, and at the same time the old military structure of the Kwantung, Beiyuan, and South China Seas was dispersed.

In turn, Fusu's control over military power was ensured.

Regarding Fusu's thoughts, Ji Heng shook his head, quite crying and laughing, he thought that Fusu would make some constructive changes to the army, but the result was only piecemeal.

Rather than so.

Why detain and search?

In the final analysis.

Fusu is now at a loss, and he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't have a specific direction, so he can only make these piecemeal changes.

But this is clearly not true.

The purpose of reform is to lead the world to a healthier road, not to go around in an alley.

He put down the letter and said lightly: "Fusu, I don't have enough understanding of the world, and I don't have enough understanding of the world. ”

Side.

Ying Sinian glanced curiously at the closed tree letter, wondering what his father had written to his master, why was he so low opinion by his master?

Hu Hai pouted.

He's used to it.

This is a problem that Fusu has always had, his vision is too limited, his vision is too shallow, and the level of thinking is insufficient.

Of course.

It depends on who you compare it to.

is not comparable to Ji Heng, but it is much better than in the past, at least he will take the initiative to seek change.

A moment later.

Ying Sinian asked, "Master, what did my father say in his letter?" Why is the Master so degraded? ”

Ji Heng glanced at Yingsi Nian, and then withdrew his gaze, he knew that Fusu's idea was to let Yingsi Age be a word.

He said slowly: "Fusu's understanding is correct, but this should not be Fusu's understanding, but what the first emperor told him back then." ”

"The most important thing in the world is four things."

"The barrel of a gun."

"Knife handle."

"Money bags."

"Pen."

"If you master these things, you will completely control the world."

"Fusu is the eldest son, and when he is the prince, the only thing he can touch is the money bag, and the other three things don't dare to have the idea of getting involved."

"Now it's in power."

"But he is taking advantage of this to completely take over the power of the world's political power on himself."

"The so-called gun, as the name suggests, is military power."

"A large part of the emperor's prestige actually comes from the army, as long as the army is under the control of the emperor, the emperor can always control the government."

"Let everyone be jealous and surrender."

Hear the words.

Ying Sinian was thoughtful.

Ji Heng said again: "As for the knife handle, it has the ability to clean up the courtiers and the axe to correct the world. ”

"A money bag is money."

"Pen, Daqin was relatively neglected in the past, especially after the exclusive spell, his control over public opinion has actually been reduced."

"Public opinion is also a right."

"Public power."

"And this part is also the only way to control the world, and only by controlling all four things in your hands can you be regarded as a real monopoly of power."

"It's just not that easy."

"As far as Fusu is concerned, he wants to centralize power, increase his influence in the army, and reduce the influence of generals in the army on the army."

"So I want to make some changes to the army."

"But he didn't understand how to control the army, and he didn't really understand how to adjust the army."

"Great Qin's military system should be changed."

"But it should be a unified change, from top to bottom, inside and out, because Fusu is not the first emperor, although he has accumulated a lot of prestige and prestige here, but he still can't reach the height of the first emperor."

"The sergeants of the army have respect and fear for him, the emperor, but if it is talked about loyalty and willingness to go to the soup for Fusu, I am afraid it may not be."

"Therefore, the change of the military system of the Great Qin should not only focus on a few petty profits, nor should it focus on weakening the control of the generals in the army over the army, but should change the system."

"Institutionally limit the power of generals."

"And this is obviously something that Fusu didn't take into account, but if Fusu really didn't think about it, it's not necessarily, it's just that Fusu can't think of a good idea for a while, so there is this letter."

"You want to find direction from me."

Ji Heng chuckled.

Ying Sinian smiled awkwardly.

Ji Heng said: "Fusu's idea is actually correct, but he has less knowledge of the army, and he doesn't know the operation of the army. ”

"But it's actually quite simple."

"Decentralization!"

"Divide the existing military power into two, internal and external, and the two are clearly distinguished, without the permission of the court, and cannot easily cross the line."

"Externally, it is the national defense force, responsible for the stability of the Great Qin frontier, mainly to defend against border forces such as the Xiongnu and Baiyue in foreign wars."

"Internally, the security forces are the mainstay."

"It is used to pacify the interior, and there is a certain distinction between them, from the local pavilion soldiers, to the county soldiers, to the army that suppresses the local rebellion, there is a clear hierarchy."

"In this way, the internal military power will be divided again and again, and all levels will be controlled by different courtiers, and will not be concentrated in one official office."

"Great Qin's military system was actually already considered."

"Although Daqin has an official position of a captain, the captain himself can't transfer troops, everything is based on the tiger talisman, and he is not even a lieutenant, and any general in Daqin has no right to directly transfer troops without a tiger talisman."

"The main function of the Taiwei is to be responsible for the recruitment and training of soldiers, the transportation of grain and grass to ensure logistics, the defense of various fortresses, etc., and must also be authorized by the emperor before the Taiwei can lead the troops to the battle."

"Therefore, the official position of the lieutenant is high."

"But the real military power in his hands is not as good as the generals in Lang Zhongling's army, and his status is high, but his power is weakened to a certain extent."

"It's actually inevitable."

"A minister in a high position, who not only controls military power, but also has a very high status, how can this not make the emperor jealous?"

Hearing Ji Heng's explanation, Ying Sinian suddenly became cheerful, and immediately understood the key, it is unrealistic to want to rely on the generals to avoid the loss of military power.

There is only decentralization.

Let the power in the hands of the generals not be centralized, so that unless all the armies rebel, the court really has the power to fight.

Rather, it is reasonable to divide military power inside and outside.

Internally, the internal division is detailed, and the external army is also divided into powers, and the generals with high status and prestige do not directly lead the army, but only have nominal control of the army.

If you want to really mobilize the army, you must have the emperor to open his mouth and hold the tiger talisman to mobilize the army, otherwise he can only make some movements within the army.

Just because my soldiers are my soldiers doesn't mean they're my soldiers.

It is by virtue of this decentralization that the army is always firmly controlled by the emperor and can no longer be touched by the outside world.

Moreover, if there is internal turmoil, the Wehrmacht can be directly sent to suppress it, and if the Wehrmacht has a problem, the internal army can be photographed to suppress it.

In this way, the court always has leeway.

"The master is clever, and the students admire him." Ying Sinian looked in reverence, if it weren't for Ji Heng to say it, he probably wouldn't have imagined that he could manipulate military power like this.

Seeing Ying Sinian's face excited, Hu Hai grinned, he was with Fusu back then, why wasn't this the case? Those who admire are almost on the ground.

Hu Hai said in a condensed voice: "There are still some problems, the internal and external armies are always different, the national defense force you mentioned, even if you intend to divide power, the military power in your hands is still very large." ”

Ji Heng nodded.

He said with a smile: "It is naturally not enough to decentralize the army, but there is still an essential difference between the internal army and the foreign army. ”

"Foreign troops are stationed in the border, or some remote places, to attack or prevent enemy invasion, they are far away from the prosperous territory, and the daily needs of grain and grass need to be allocated by the court."

"So the last deadbolt is money."

"The grain and grass of the foreign army are allocated once a year, so that the arrogance and arrogance of the military leaders in the army can be further suppressed."

"So ......"

"If you want to control the army well, you must let the army be constrained by all parties in the court, and it cannot be truly independent, let alone allow it to have the possibility of self-employment, and put an end to all possibilities for it to become bigger."

"The military is strictly forbidden to do business."

"It is strictly forbidden to engage in business activities that violate the laws of the court, and those who violate them will be beheaded."

Hear the words.

Ying Sinian nodded repeatedly.

If the army can make its own money, this is too dangerous for Great Qin, once it becomes bigger, it will undoubtedly become a prince, which Great Qin will never tolerate, let alone see.

The financial power must pass through the hands of the court.

Moreover, it is necessary to constantly change and rotate the soldiers to ensure that the control of the army is always in the hands of the imperial court.

Retired soldiers can also continue their duties, enter the internal army as officials, or receive a little military merit reward to go home.

It's also a way out.

On the whole, the Master's ideas were all from a high position, and they all hit the nail on the head, and in just a dozen sentences, the reform of the army was thoroughly sorted out.

"Si Nian remembers." Ying Sinian bowed respectfully, and his attitude was very respectful.

Ji Heng waved his hand.

He didn't care about the courtesy.

He pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "The real difficulty of the Great Qin reform is not actually in the system, but in the implementation. ”

"One more."

"It's about collecting taxes."

"Mastering the army does not mean that you can completely control the world, the world is ultimately ruled by man, and people have desires, ambitions, and selfishness."

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way."

"But there is so much money in the world, and one day, the courtiers will no longer be satisfied with the annual salary issued by the court every year, and at that time, the real difficulties of Daqin will really surface."

"The court can't collect the money!"

"To sit on the throne of the emperor, you need to rely on military power, but what you want to sit firmly on is money, and the world is bustling for profit."

"It's hard to do everything without money."

Hear the words.

Ying Sinian frowned.

He was a little puzzled, why couldn't he collect the money? Daqin's tax system can be described as harsh, and there are really officials who dare to risk such a big disapproval?

However, Ji Heng didn't have the idea of saying much.

Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, things must be done one by one, and you can't become a fat man by eating one bite, only when the military power is completely subdued, can there be a follow-up.

And that's the real deep water.

It's also the real difficulty.

It's just that those hidden dangers should have been highlighted for a while, and he just said it in advance to make Fusu vigilant.

Don't end up with a big tail!
