Chapter 292: The Perfection of the Military Merit System

At this moment, Liu Tai found Chen Yuanda in Yecheng and said, "Changhong, how is the new commercial law being piloted in Bohai Bay?" ”

"It has been studied, at least there were no major problems during the trial in Bohai Bay!" Chen Yuanda said to Liu Tai.

"That's good, as much as possible in Hebei, we don't need to be too good to the merchants, but we don't need to be too bad either.

But the most important thing is to collect taxes on merchant transactions, after all, no matter how messy merchant transactions are, they can be traced back to the origin and the end of the sale.

As for how to toss in the middle, it is the businessman's business, so we will find a way to collect taxes from these two ends. ”

Liu Tai said this and continued, "And those grain and cloth transactions are naturally less taxed, but the silk and satin gold and silver treasures, these must be heavily taxed, so that the people will not be greedy for vanity and obsessed with copper smell. ”

"Got it!" For people like Chen Yuanda, who are relatively poor and attach importance to the law, they like the tax law too much.

In particular, the target of the attack is still businessmen, and after Chen Yuanda studied the commercial law, he began to prepare to formulate commercial taxes.

"By the way, you can communicate with Gou Chun about taxation, after all, there will definitely be lawbreakers who evade taxes in the future, and they are the defenders of your tax law, how to punish it, it is best to find out by the way." Liu Tai said to Chen Yuanda quite solemnly,

"In addition, after this thing comes out, just like the original commercial law, I will first throw it to Youjiqing to test the waters, and if it can be gradually promoted."

"Obey!" Chen Yuanda nodded when he heard Liu Tai's words, and then chose to leave and went back to his place to sort out the treatment.

At this time, Chu Yi walked in, holding in his hand the catalog of the meritorious military merit system that he had sorted out, as well as the approximate rewards and responsibilities, and the rewards on it became quite clear after Chu Biao's improvement.

Because of the experience of fighting Liu Tai, the military merit system here is divided into two types, one is for non-commissioned officers and the other is for officers.

The non-commissioned officer category covers the entire army, while the officer category covers the officers of the cantonment commander and above.

The soldier reward is to directly state what rewards can be obtained for what you do on the battlefield, and what treatment you get, such as cutting the flag and capturing the flag first.

The officers can only get the corresponding honor and treatment by winning the collective merit of breaking the army.

From giving priority to the selection of good food for the whole army's non-commissioned officers, to the fact that the whole army can enjoy equipment, and basically the group enjoys the corresponding treatment, and so on.

Of course, this kind of system must be produced with enough room for redundant officials and redundant lords, and the seventh, eighth, and ninth episodes are quite critical.

Because although the title has been promoted on the surface, it is actually still a cow and horse, but the appearance is glamorous, but in fact it does not hold power, even if it gets the title, it is just the object of being sucked blood.

But from the seventh level, because I have been able to do some seemingly unimportant but powerful positions in the local area through this title.

For example, the city gate order that manages the city gate, the tsu order that manages the ferry, the warehouse order that manages the granary, and so on......

Don't look at these positions, they are not even considered nine grades, but for the locality, they are already in the hands of power that cannot be ignored.

"Press the number of titles in the seventh, eighth, and ninth tiers again, and mention the benefits again!" Liu Taisi pondered,

"Streamline the organization as much as possible, but to increase the gold content of the owner's position, we have to be one person for two people, instead of recruiting multiple fools to come in and sharpen their skills, we should reuse hard work to reduce the living space of slackers!"

To be honest, at this time, Liu Tai couldn't help but think of Fang Xuanling, I really don't know how he could directly reduce a bureaucracy to one-third of its original size, and still be able to maintain the normal operation of the entire organization steadily, without committing suicide with eight knives in the back, the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty deserves his name.

After all, it is easy for the bureaucracy to expand, and even if a fool goes up, according to the nature of the bureaucracy, it will expand.

But it would be a surprise to try to curb the expansive nature of the bureaucracy and cut it down to one-third without any backlash.

Even in modern society, it is extremely difficult to curb the disorderly expansion of capital, let alone the disorderly expansion of power.

It is normal to have seven or eight leaders above you when you work alone, and companies often lay off employees to the main arteries.

This is a common problem with the structure of human organizations, which can become bloated over time as long as it is profitable.

Chu Yi nodded when he heard Liu Tai's words, but Chu Yi felt that the biggest problem with the meritorious lord system was not to curb the quantity.

Because this only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.

The biggest problem is that in the end either there is no war to be fought, or there is no land to divide.

really waited until then, but he wanted Liu Tai to have a headache, and there was nothing Chu Yu could do about it, at least now.

"By the way, starting from the file of the Guannei Hou, the relevant Neihou and the above titles can be used as a guarantee to make the company or enterprise listed on the stock market." Liu Tai raised his head and said to Chu Yu.

"The stock market? What stock market?! When Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, he was a little confused.

"Let's add this article first, the stock market is such a thing, and then it will be implemented when it is still in the old capital.

As for now, when asked, you are the policy that I am going to implement after returning to the old capital, and I have no intention of implementing it now! ”

Liu Tai said to Chu Yu, "All in all, I won't let the old brothers suffer!" ”

"No!" Chu Yu heard Liu Tai's words, but nodded again and again.

To be honest, Liu Tai has been thinking about what to do if the military merit system is at the end and the land is not enough?

can only come up with new interest points to meet the military merit system, and what Liu Tai wants to try is the stock market.

In contrast, the market that will innovate the short-selling mechanism in later generations, at least now links the listing license to military merits, which is a considerable threshold in itself, and it is not like anyone who can enter the stock market by cheating.

Because I want to become at least the Marquis of Guannei, even if there is no food in this place, but it is also a thorough marquis of military merit.

This puts an end to the possibility of cats and dogs entering the stock market by transferring funds back and forth.

Secondly, he implemented the military merit system, and at the end of the military merit system, either the enemy is gone, or the land is not enough.

To tell the truth about the enemy, Liu Tai is really not worried, because the Hu people are like leeks, even if he tries his best to assimilate them, he will definitely come out.

The Xiongnu are gone, Xianbei is gone, Xianbei is gone, and when Rouran is solved, maybe the Turks will emerge again.

And as long as the country decays, there will definitely be enemies, and Liu Taizhen is not worried.

What he did was just to provide a military merit system for future dynasties, and after it came to an end, could it be possible to continue the military merit system through other methods, but would not discourage the enthusiasm of the generals.

And the stock market license is a solution to the problem, give this license to the generals, and then the generals will rely on letting their subordinates do business, or lend to other businessmen to go public through backdoor listing, in short, at least a channel for the generals to realize.

This is also in line with the final attribution of the Chinese monarch to the generals since Wang Jian began, either giving death or wealth.

And the wealth that an emperor gives through rewards is limited, but the wealth given to generals through the people is unlimited.

Of course, the most important point is that if there is a stock market crash, it will be fine.

However, if there is fraud, causing public resentment and resentment, which has spread to their descendants, then the emperor can also use the people's resentment to take back these canonized marquises, so as to complete the recovery of the title quietly.

After all, since ancient times, when the Han Dynasty encountered any natural and man-made disasters, the first thing was to let the three dukes move first, and now it is just to focus this kind of public resentment more on a specific marquis.

Of course, this system is definitely not taken out now, so why wait until you return to the old capital, that is, after you take Chang'an and Luoyang.

After all, at that time, the first batch of guys who followed their crusade might force themselves to ascend the throne in order to consolidate their position, but this kind of thing as being the emperor is definitely not something Liu Tai wants to see!

Because if I am the emperor, I have given my subordinates various titles, which is not conducive to their continued struggle!

After all, what kind of place is Jiangnan in this era, it is just a poor and remote land, even if it has been developed with the southern crossing of Yiguan, but the land in Jiangnan, where is there the land developed in the Central Plains.

Not to mention that Jingzhou and Yangzhou are now more famous for being humid and stuffy, and the northern soldiers are reluctant to go south, and they are even less afraid of developing the land in the south of the Yangtze River, so they need to think long-term.

In any case, for Liu Tai, businessmen do want to suppress, but reducing the martial artist with military power to a rich man is another operation.

After all, no matter what, they are already staring at the land, and it is impossible for them to not even have a place to make a fortune, so they will inevitably suffer from the backlash of the entire military merit group.

Since ancient times, the way to govern is to have a radish in one hand and a stick in the other, otherwise how to deal with this group of arrogant soldiers.

Liu Tai said to Chu Yu: "Optimize the details, and then officially release it."

At the same time, in order to avoid the soldiers not understanding, within a month of the release, Ling and Xi joined the army together to arrange people to go to the barracks to analyze the military merit system, so that the soldiers clearly know how to be promoted, how to be demoted, what kind of land can be obtained, and how to become the Marquis of Guannei.

Only when all these things are clearly explained to every soldier will the soldiers be willing to struggle.

In another month, I will arrange time to go to the barracks to select soldiers and ask them, if they don't know how to get promoted and how to get land, then the military merit system will have to be redone.

All in all, your goal is that even if you are a fool, as long as you become a soldier, you must know how to achieve military merit! ”

"Obey!" Chu Yi made such a request to Liu Tai, and the finch did not feel any surprise, and immediately responded.

To be honest, Chu Yi has been following Liu Tai for so long, and he also understands Liu Tai's character of leading troops.

Compared with other generals, they paid more attention to the rewards of gold, silver, treasures, and various materials for their subordinates, or encouraged the soldiers under the pretense of the mandate of heaven, or used strict military discipline to ensure that the orders of the soldiers were forbidden, but the Han King was not like this.

The Han King has the ability to ensure the material consumption of the soldiers, which is indeed very strong, but what is stronger is that although the Han King attaches importance to material security, he attaches more importance to the faith of the soldiers' will.

From the first time he joined the army of the King of Han was to start speaking the Book of Han, and now it has become the supreme magic weapon of the Han King's army, even so, the King of Han has been trying to increase the internal driving force of the soldiers.

More importantly, he really achieved the revival of the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers who followed him along the way are also sharing the dividends.

This dividend was so big that all the generals and the small people who only provided taxes could feel the stability under the rule of the Han Dynasty, and this feeling even made them suspect that the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Yongjia Rebellion a few years ago seemed to be fake.

Chu Yi looked at the military merit system in his hand, no matter what, this system was perfected and promulgated from his own hands, and it was still very rewarding.

Just when Liu Tai promulgated the military merit system, let the reward and punishment system make the soldiers under his command deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and gradually prepared for the southern expedition to the Central Plains, Wang Xizhi and Wang Du's boat branch had also arrived at Jinkou and entered the Yongji Canal by boat.

At this time, Wang Du looked in the direction of his hometown in a daze, with a little reluctance and helplessness in his heart.

"Ziqi, this is homesick!" Wang Xizhi looked at Wang Du's appearance and said.

When Wang Du heard Wang Xizhi's words, his face couldn't help but show a little calmness:

"Humble Jing is pregnant with Liujia, it is inconvenient to travel far with me, and now that I am separated, I don't know when I will be able to meet, I naturally feel a little apprehensive in my heart, Yi Shao, you will not understand!"

When Wang Xizhi heard Wang Du's words, he said calmly, "If you are worried about your sister-in-law, you will buy a house in Yecheng first, and then you will take your sister-in-law over, so why bother to be a daughter now." We should have Lingyunzhi and win the three armies and ten thousand households! ”

"Good!" Wang Du heard Wang Xizhi's words, but he also said to Wang Xizhi, "What Yi Shao said is very true! ”

The two continued to drink and watched the lively scene of the thousand sails passing by in Tsuguchi.

It's just that this river gradually passes to the south, and Wang Xizhi suddenly reacted and said:

"This channel is the Yongji Canal built by King Han, I didn't expect so many ships to go to Yecheng!"

"Yes, I didn't expect that this section of the Yongji Canal has only just been navigated, and there are so many merchant ships, it is really worthy of being a merchant, born for profit, and not tired!" Wang Du couldn't help but sigh.

To tell the truth, because Wang Du was born in a poor family, he has a small vision of the pattern, and it has always been a problem that Wang Du has brought with him, even if he wants to correct it, he is afraid that it will take time to slowly temper it.

But Wang Xizhi is different, whether it is his father or his family, they all stand at the pinnacle of the world and guide the mountains and rivers.

Therefore, before the Yongji Canal was opened, Wang Xizhi felt that Liu Tai's proposal to build the Yongji Canal was really a neurosis.

But at this moment, the Yongji Canal was really built, and when looking at the merchant ships of Youzhou and Qingzhou, heading towards Yecheng through the Yongji Canal, Wang Xizhi suddenly found that the operation efficiency of Liu Tai's logistics resources was terrifying!

You must know that whether it is Youzhou or the eastern part of Qingzhou, even if it is not a bitter cold place, it can be regarded as a vast and sparsely populated land.

But now, as Yongji Canal communicates with Yecheng, especially when Liu Tai's warships protect it in Bohai Bay, the entire northern land suddenly seems to be completely revitalized at this moment.

Wang Xizhi finally understood that Liu Tai had been digging the Yongji Canal in the past two years, just so as not to waste Jizhou and Qingzhou, which he had developed with great difficulty, because the two places that had been developed could continuously transport resources to Yecheng without too high a price.

Because the land transporters eat horses and chew, they want to prepare for the conquest of the Jin court, but they are afraid that they will need higher costs.

But now, Wang Xi's heart is tight, and he always feels that if the construction of this Yongji Canal is completed, this war is afraid that it will be approaching.
