Chapter 100: Benefits and Harms

Inside the camp of the Chinese army.

"From today onwards, the grain resources taken by the officers and men of the Chinese army at all levels will increase by two percent!"

"Border soldiers, increase the daily ration!"

Cao Chao stood on a high place, and the heralds read aloud the new policy that had been formalized.

The army of the Great Wei was divided into two types, and some people think that the army began to have salaries from the Tang Dynasty, and the army before the Tang Dynasty did not have any income, which is not true.

The military system of each dynasty has changed, in the Qin State, the army is forcibly conscripted, and the people need to bring their own food and weapons to participate in the war, but the Han Dynasty retains this, all the people are soldiers, forced to serve, and every adult male has to go to the army.

And in the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were two ways of armies.

The first is the world military system, which is also the composition of the Great Wei border army, these people are soldiers for generations, you are a soldier, your children are also soldiers, your whole family is a soldier, you don't have to engage in other industries, you can fight with peace of mind, Cao Wei through this method to make his various theaters have a sufficient supply of soldiers, do not have to worry about the death of tens of thousands of people will be unavailable.

These people have no food to pay, but the temple is responsible for feeding them and not starving to death, they contribute to the temple, and the temple keeps them alive, that's all.

The second is the conscription system, most of Cao Wei's Chinese army is like this, the conscription system is not a product of the Tang Dynasty, the earliest can be traced back to the Warring States Period, the Wei State selected the strongest men to serve as soldiers, gave them high salaries, and made them professional soldiers.

The Later Han Dynasty also had a conscription system, which was usually used at the same time as the conscription system and the conscription system, and by Cao Wei, all three military systems existed.

The Chinese army is recruited and needs to be paid, the border army is a world soldier, so it is good not to go hungry, and the one who opens the border is a conscription, and they do not give food or weapons, that is, they want to let them bring their own things to complete their obligations.

The soldiers gathered in the camp and listened to the announcement of the heralds, and their eyes were full of joy.

The latest regulations are not just as simple as raising salaries, but also improving the treatment of soldiers in all aspects.

These include the possibility of promoting meritorious military households and turning them into peasant households, strictly prohibiting the covetousness of military rations and materials, prohibiting the seizure of military merits, and rewarding and punishing them fairly.

Cao Chao's decree this time is very serious, and there is no room for compromise.

And with the support of many generals, it is not easy for those who want to oppose it in secret.

Cao Wei's bureaucrats didn't dare to say it, but the generals were still very powerful, and now these generals in the Chinese army, if the moths in the army dare to give them eye medicine, it will be purely tired.

Cao Chao is not worried about this at all.

In addition to standardizing military discipline and raising "salary", Cao Chao has a lot of benefits.

It includes rewarding the meritorious with land and houses, improving their food, ensuring winter clothing in winter, and even promising them that after they retire, they can arrange errands for them as officials.

The army gathered here, listening to the heralds shouting one rule after another.

I don't know who started first.

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

Listening to the roars of the soldiers, Cao Chao stood on the platform with a smile on his face.

Don't think that the temple will increase the expenditure of the treasury after improving the many welfare benefits of the soldiers, in fact, in the case of cleaning up the moth and reducing corruption, the temple has even earned!!

The current situation of the Great Wei is so outrageous, and most of the ministers of the Wei and Jin dynasties, whether they are capable ministers or villains, whether they are generals or assassins, have one thing in common.

Greedy for money and extravagant.

If you look through the entire Jin book, you can find how difficult it is to find a few honest and simple ministers!

Even the top ones in the biography are so unbearable.

The great race, which is no longer bound by morality, is such a catastrophe!

The army of the Great Wei is one of the hardest hit areas, in order to prevent the local generals from sitting big, Emperor Wen is very intimate to make a good deployment, there are two points, the food of the local army, in fact, is responsible for the local assassin history, the general can not interfere, and the distribution of statistics is carried out by the officials of the temple, the same is true of the Chinese army, the food is directly issued by the Shangshu, the implementation process is carried out by the Yushitai, and the army is responsible for receiving it.

Emperor Wen thought that this could allow the temple to control the local army through logistics, but he didn't know that this gave the ministers a good opportunity to exploit and embezzle.

Because of the complex and cumbersome food supply of Dawei, it has become a problem to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the grain.

This led to the fact that the assassin ate a batch, the assassin ate the officials and the generals, and finally the food that fell into the hands of the soldiers was seriously lower than the allotment, and there were often hungry stomachs to prepare for war.

And this problem is actually not so difficult to solve, as long as the general can not be greedy and keep an eye on the distribution of food.

It's just that the generals in the past didn't have such ability and no such mind, and no one urged them anyway.

But the generals everywhere nowadays, strictly speaking, are not morally despicable to such an extent.

So far, at least here in the Chinese army, Cao Chao is still very effective in improving the welfare of the army, as for the locality, then I can only hope that the local generals can have some morality.

Yanghu in Hebei, Deng Ai in the northwest, Biqiu Jian in Huainan, Wen Qin, who is about to take over Zhuge Dan, and Wang Ji, who is about to take over Wang Chang, the moral standard of these people is still relatively high, anyway, the thing of greedy for military food is probably not possible.

After careful consideration, Cao Chao decided to let Wen Qin replace Zhuge Dan and Wang Ji to replace Wang Chang.

These two men have military talents and are on the line of morality.

The general is different from Wenchen, Wenchen can be not morally high and talented, like Xun Miao, but the general can't be like this, a talented and immoral general, such as a person like Lu Bu, who dares to use it?

And after Cao Chao announced these, Zhuge Dan, who was standing not far away, couldn't help it.

"From now on, if anyone dares to disobey the laws of the army, withhold food, covet ink materials, seize military merits, promote cronies, and persecute soldiers, I will not spare them!!"

The herald then shouted Zhuge Dan's words.

"Taiwei is wise!!"

"Taiwei is wise!!"

The soldiers cheered again.

And at this moment, Xiahou Xian's face turned white with fright, he looked at Zhuge Dan on the side in horror, and quickly looked at the emperor.

I saw that Cao Chao's face was calm, just watching this scene and not speaking.

Xiahou Xian doesn't know why Zhuge Dan is doing this, this is the emperor trying to win over the hearts of the army, do you want to compete with the emperor for military power? ? ?

Not only Xiahou Xian, but several generals of the Chinese army were very shocked at the moment.

The short-tempered Wen Yang directly stopped the cheers of his soldiers, made them shut their mouths, and then looked at Zhuge Dan angrily.

Zhuge Dan's behavior seemed to be demonstrating with the emperor, and even a bit of a face-to-face struggle for power.

Wen Yang is ready, as long as the emperor gives an order, he will cut off the head of this old dog.

To be honest, Cao Chao's heart is indeed very complicated at the moment.

However, Taiwei Gong's performance during his tenure was still very good, including the issue of the treatment of soldiers this time, Zhuge Dan was also at the forefront, and he forced the ministers to nod and agree.

For this restructuring, Zhuge Dan did have a great contribution.

However, this person is obviously a little floating, and if he wants fame, Cao Chao can help him get it, but this behavior of giving the emperor eye medicine

Cao Chao didn't say much.

When he left the Chinese army and returned to the Taiji Palace, Cheng Ji couldn't hold back anymore.

"Your Majesty!! It's time for me to cut off the head of the dog! ”

"What is he, and he dares to compete with His Majesty for fame?!"

Cheng Ji was very angry, and his face was flushed.

Cao Chao smiled, "Isn't it because of the merits of Captain Zhuge that I can do it this time?" Why cut him down for this? ”

"There will be a lot of times when you need to use him in the future, so don't say anything like that again."

Cheng Ji was still angry, and Zhang Hua said to him: "Cheng Jun, Taiwei has a faux pas, but he has no idea of rebellion, if it will cause misunderstanding like this, don't say more outside, otherwise it will ruin Your Majesty's big things!" ”

Cheng Ji just gave up.

Cao Chao walked into the West Hall with Zhang Hua, and as soon as he walked in, the smile on Zhang Hua's face disappeared.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei can't indulge here anymore."

"Even if he doesn't have such thoughts, his actions today are destroying His Majesty's majesty."

"It's categorically unworkable."

Cao Chao didn't speak, and sat in his place, "Let's take care of the temple's major affairs first, at this time, I don't want to delay for the rest of the things." ”

Zhang Hua took out the above table and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is Wang Xiang's confession handed over by Shang Shutai. ”

"The words were sincere, and Gao Rou and the others were reprimanded, and his attitude was very humble."

"After seeing Wang Xiang, this Xun Yi met Guo Pei again, and then went to Wang Xiang's mansion again, this confession was probably made by Guo Pei."

"This is to protect Wang Xiang for their own use."

"In addition, Xun Yi is also very close to several Jiuqing, Zongzheng Cao Yu, these days he has become his guest, the two talk all day long, very happy."

"There is also Cao Yan, the Marquis of Pingle Township, and Xun Yi often sends people to greet him."

Cao Chao narrowed his eyes again, "What are they trying to do?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that they probably think that His Majesty summoned everyone to be unfavorable to them, so they formed a group to protect themselves, Xun Yi didn't have much courage, and he couldn't do anything."

Cao Chao looked at the confession in his hand, "Xun Yi may be like this, but Wang Xiang is not." ”

"If Wang Xiang goes out, things will become very troublesome, and among the ministers today, he is the only one who is the most troublesome."

Cao Chao put away the confession, "Continue to look at Wang Xiang, don't let him come out, just act as if nothing happened." ”

"Then if Xun Yi and others spread the content of the confession and attract the ministers to attack each other"

"Then let the prince die of illness."

"This person was not easy to deal with in the first place, but after the previous defeat, he has become more spicy, and I don't have the energy to deal with the defeated generals of my subordinates anymore."
