Even among all the emperors in history, Lao Zhu is also the top few.

The replacement of compulsory soldiers by professional soldiers seems to solve the problem of government soldiers, but it is not so simple.

As with the repeated contests between the county system and the sub-feudal system,

The county system and the feudal system have their own advantages and disadvantages, and different means should be adopted in different situations.

It's not that I'm the emperor, I set the county system, and it won't change for a thousand years, that's pure imagination.

Not to mention a thousand years, any system, ten or twenty years may not be applicable.

And as an emperor, it is necessary to pick up these pieces of the puzzle with different notches and piece together an answer.

To govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh.

Zhu Yuanzhang has to face a discerning and changeable guest, so Zhu Yuanzhang has to come up with different seasonings at any time to make this pot of soup.

This is the hardest part of being an emperor.

Regarding what military system should be used,

There is an answer to this question in history.

Tang dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty used government soldiers, but it was not possible in the middle period, so it was changed to recruit professional soldiers.

It seems that everything is going well, and the defects of the government soldiers are perfectly solved.

However, it also greatly increased the status of the martial arts, and the professional soldiers recruited by the imperial court were all a group of arrogant generals.

Feudal towns were divided.

This is the disadvantage that comes with being a professional soldier.

In the end of the Tang Dynasty, the problem of separating feudal towns was not solved, and the emperors of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms were all warlords.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is also a warlord,

How did he get on top? The arrogant soldiers of his subordinates will help him up.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu was extremely jealous of martial artists and set a national policy of emphasizing literature over military force.

But, as I said earlier, as long as it is a system, there are drawbacks,

Brush it all over again,

The military system of the Tang Dynasty was no longer good, so the problem of the military system was solved by recruiting professional soldiers.

However, the emergence of professional soldiers caused a situation of division of feudal towns, and directly became five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin used the strategy of emphasizing literature and ignoring military force to suppress the martial arts, and it seems that there is no problem.

However, the strategy of emphasizing literature over military force directly led to the lack of martial virtue in the Song Dynasty and the inadequacy of the army's combat effectiveness, which was abused by Liao Jinyuan for three rounds.

So, back to the current situation in the Ming Dynasty,

It's not as simple as directly recruiting professional soldiers to replace government soldiers,

Lao Zhu still has to consider the pros and cons and make trade-offs.

Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, the three senior officials also closed their mouths at the right time and waited quietly aside.

The key problem behind the uneven number of elderly people is that the government and military system are unreasonable, resulting in a large amount of arable land not being used efficiently.

This is absolutely unacceptable for Lao Zhu and for Daming, a big farming country.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, as soon as he knew about this, Lao Zhu was a little worried and couldn't eat.

Fuck, there's so much arable land vacated?!

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ru Taisu,

Ru Taisu pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang,

Zhu Yuanzhang threatened,

"If you want to talk so much nonsense, let's really pull down and beat you this time!"

Ru Taisu was so frightened that she trembled, she was this old, how could she bear the fight?!

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is better to fill the house?"

"Fill the house?"

Zhu Yuanzhang repeated,

Ru Taisu said it in a good way, just like the old Zhu did it before, Huguang filled in the Central Plains,

Send a place with a large population directly to a place with a low population, so that areas with fewer people and more people are not wasted.

However, this trick can't be used for the rest of the year, the Chinese people pay attention to the roots, and you give a large family to farm where the birds don't, or it's a bit unreasonable.

In the past, Lao Zhu used this trick and had no other tricks.

Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head,

"Well, let's remember first."

Then, looking at Shen Jin, the secretary of the military department,

Asked

"What do you think?"

Shen Jin Zhiwu for a long time, peeked at Xu Sima, Xu Sima smiled elegantly,

"Lord Shangshu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

As soon as he saw Shen Jin's play, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what it meant.

"Your Majesty, Weichen still thinks that the government military system needs to be greatly changed."

Really.

Zhu Yuanzhang secretly said in his heart.

The overhaul is a statement of high emotional intelligence, but in fact, it is to abolish the government military system.

And Xu Sima is the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, and he is the biggest beneficiary of the government military system, if the government military system is abolished, Xu Sima will become a jobless vagrant.

"What about you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Sima, and Xu Sima had no unhappy look on his face,

Respectfully,

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that the military system is a little out of place."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Xu Sima approvingly,

At least this righteous son, he is dedicated to the public and can distinguish the big and the small.

However, Xu Sima's statement is similar to Shen Jin's,

It is also to abolish the government military system.

Speaking of which, it is not so troublesome to abolish the military system of the government, and it is enough to send the military registration of the military department directly to the household department.

All these government soldiers are separated from the military register, and then the fields of the military cantonment are divided, and all the guards under them are also disbanded, which can be regarded as the dissolution of the governor's mansion.

Now Daming is not without professional soldiers, and the elite soldiers and horses under King Sai are all professional soldiers.

They don't farm, they fight.

It only needs to recruit a small number of soldiers and horses from the imperial court to prepare for the dispatch of the king of Sai, which should be enough.

But Lao Zhu still felt a little too hasty,

With a wave of his hand,

"Okay, we know, you can step down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang also raised his buttocks,

What are we sticking to here with them, won't it be over just looking for our eldest grandson?

The East Palace of the State Prince

Zhu Xiongying frowned and looked at the pension plan,

Long

sighed,

"Grandpa, if it weren't for you, my grandson wouldn't have found out at all."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the eldest grandson's annoyed look, and couldn't help patting the eldest grandson's shoulder,

Laughed

"What's this?! It's been a lot of time for us to not notice,

We are the emperor, and we can't expect us to think of everything in advance.

The important thing is to solve the problem.

Grandson, you are so annoyed, you are completely conceited. ”

Zhu Xiongying was stunned when he heard this,

Then nodded earnestly,

"Grandpa, grandson knows."

Thinking that you can solve all problems is a sign of conceit,

Being an emperor is not about you solving all problems, but about finding the right people to solve them.

If you are too conceited about your own ability and underestimate others, you will only end up on the road of being a single husband.
