Chapter 127: I won't sit idly by
"In addition, we must set up a clean government supervision and management department to prevent corruption in the local government, and to better strengthen the centralization of power!"
Xue Yutang said so much, and he didn't react to what Bai Linglong and Gao Feng said for a long time.
Gao Feng opened his mouth and asked, "What is left of the official mansion?"
Xue Yutang smiled: "Service, they can no longer be high-ranking officials, they need to solve problems for the people, do a good job in local infrastructure construction, and let the people live a good life, then no one will rebel, and our regime will be more stable! You will also have more energy to build the army and fight foreign wars!"
Bai Linglong was still a little puzzled: "Husband, who should we hand over this central government to? What if the central government is not controlled?"
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "The central government will not hand over to anyone, we will set it up ourselves! If the central government also hands it over, we will not be busy in vain!"
Bai Linglong and Gao Feng glanced at each other, and Gao Feng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Lord, I understand, you want to draw some people from among us to form a central government, so that the central government and the army will be one family again, but each performs its own duties! As for saying that the power of the local government is almost divided, there is no need to worry too much, and they don't dare to be disobedient! This trick is wonderful!"
Xue Yutang smiled, where is this his own idea, his original world has a more mature governance mechanism, it is more orderly, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and live a rich life, I am just painting the tiger according to the cat, not in case.
Gao Feng asked, "Lord, who do you think is more suitable for this central government?"
Xue Yutang thought for a moment: "I think Nan Cheng, Luo Shu and Wang Fatzi are suitable for forming the central government, and you can select some loyal cadres from the army to help them form the initial framework!"
Bai Linglong thought for a while, and nodded: "I also think that a few of them are the most suitable!"
Yue Nancheng was stunned and pointed at herself: "I'll form a central government, I'm afraid this won't work!"
Xue Yutang said with a smile: "Actually, the most suitable candidate is Gao Feng, but now the army can't do without him, so you are the most suitable person now!"
Yue Nancheng thought for a while, but shook his head and said: "My lord, I think this is inappropriate, since ancient times, this army has been serving the royal family, and now the lord's proposal is undoubtedly depriving the lord of his power, this matter is not appropriate!"
Gao Feng also followed and chimed in: "Lord, I also think this is inappropriate, the authority of the Lord cannot be violated!"
Xue Yutang laughed and said: "Oh, what is the use of this authority I want, can I have this authority to ensure that my descendants will not fall for ten thousand years? Rather than this, it is better to let the people live a good life for a few more years! There is no dynasty that lasts for 10,000 years, only the desire of everyone to yearn for a better life! So what you are saying is not so attractive to me, isn't it also for the sake of the human race to continue to develop and grow today?"
However, no matter how Xue Yutang persuaded him, Nan Cheng and Gao Feng still did not agree with Xue Yutang's statement, although they also thought that the policy formulated by Xue Yutang was very good.
Xue Yutang thought for a moment and continued: " Since, you have to let me sit on the throne of imperial power, then it is good that the central government is still the central government, and the army is still the army, but how about adding a royal family to this, so that the central government and the army are all responsible for the royal family, and their appointments are also appointed by the royal family, and the rest are still various departments according to what I said, but this clean government agency is directly managed by the royal family, you see how this is, you must know that power without restraint cannot last long, and the royal family is the same, if this emperor is diligent and good, but if this emperor is greedy for enjoyment and immorality, then it is not a harm to the worldThat's not what I intended!"
Gao Feng and Yue Nancheng thought for a moment and knelt down and saluted: "Since this is the case, then please ask the Lord to ascend the throne and rule the world as soon as possible!"
Xue Yutang was thirsty, picked up the tea and took a sip, he was choked and squirted, coughing vigorously, Bai Linglong hurriedly walked over and patted him lightly on the back, and complained softly: "You slow down!"
Xue Yutang waved his hand and said: "This is not a trivial matter to establish the royal family, and there is no hurry to say that it is not in a hurry, it will take time for your central government to fully operate, and this campaign is not completely over, the establishment of the royal family can only be a constraint, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, you see that this will not work, first reserve the position of the royal family, and Linglong will fully represent the royal family, this clean government agency is in her hands, and all the army and the central government will be responsible for her, and when everything is stabilized, how about we consider the establishment of the royal family?"
Gao Feng and Yue Nancheng, you look at me, I look at you, they didn't move for a long time, obviously not completely agreeing with Xue Yutang's statement.
Xue Yutang had no choice but to lead the topic to another aspect, and said: " You get up first, now whether it is the establishment of the royal family, or the central government or the army, it is not an overnight thing, you still have to do one thing, you also have to carry out some reforms in this army, this army is the foundation of our peace of mind, without the support of the army, no matter what is established is empty talk, so this army must be firmly in our hands, absolutely not allowed, the following generals support the army and respect themselves, and turn the army into his private property, otherwise the army will be in chaos, all our efforts will be in vain, you must know that we have many enemies, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will pay attention to the army, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be generals who will take risks for the sake of interests!”
Gao Feng nodded and said: "We also know what the Lord said, but our current situation is not completely stable, and it is the time to employ people, you must know that it is very rare for this general to be good at fighting at any time, which has also caused many generals to be informal on weekdays, and with the increasing power, this is also a problem in management!"
Xue Yutang patted Bai Linglong, who was still stroking his back, and said, "Linglong, what do you think about this matter?"
Seeing that Xue Yutang was fine, Bai Linglong walked back to her place, sat down, and said: " What Gao Junshi said, I agree more, at the beginning, we only had less than 20,000 people, at that time, relying on brotherhood, there are some means of co-optation can also be controlled, but as the army grows bigger and bigger, this is getting bigger and bigger, many generals are arrogant, they don't take us in their eyes at all, if they send people to give orders on weekdays, it is difficult to mobilize them, many times we need to go to the orders in person, and now the phenomenon of yang and yin is becoming more and more serious! Beating and scolding soldiers and deducting military salaries have happened repeatedly, and this army has reached the point where it has to be rectified, which is why Gao Junshi and I have never dared to use troops against the Western Xia Kingdom!"
Xue Yutang saw Bai Linglong and Gao Feng's sad faces, and said with a smile: "Actually, this army reform is not so difficult, since this is the case, then let's temporarily retreat fifty miles from the border of the Western Xia Kingdom, ease the tension between the two sides, and set aside a period of time to rectify the army, mix sand for each army, eliminate power, and change positions!"
Bai Linglong and Gao Feng were stunned and looked at Xue Yutang: "Lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, we are just afraid that these generals will mutiny, so we have not dared to touch these people, now such a big move, I am afraid it will really cause a mutiny!"
Xue Yutang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did this army's grain and grass be solved?"
Gao Feng said with a smile: "Lord, you forgot, we relied on the warehouse you founded at the beginning, although it is not the main source of logistics now, but because there is no way to do it, this tradition has been preserved, so the supply of this army has always been directly responsible for us, and now these are in the hands of Wang Fatzi!"
Xue Yutang asked again: "Who is responsible for the damage and replenishment of weapons and armor, and the replenishment of personnel?"
Sisoo said: "This weapon armor, we have our own armor workshop to produce and distribute, and I am responsible for this part for the time being." ”
Luo Shu also said: "I have always been responsible for the training of recruits and the replenishment of soldiers!"
Xue Yutang looked at this group of people who had grown into giants and said with a smile: "In that case, then what are you afraid of, if the reserves of the various armies are cut off now, they will be able to hold out for a few days?"
Gao Feng thought for a moment: "Now the army near the imperial city is right in front of us, so their reserves are all here, and they can probably last one or two days, and the army on the border, we are now doing the reserve in front of the station, transporting part of the past in advance, and organizing transportation in the later stage, arriving in a batch every three days, and now in addition to consumption, it can last for about seven days!"
Xue Yutang turned his head and asked Yue Nancheng: "The roster of this army has always been in your hands, right?
Yue Nancheng nodded and said, "Lord, these things are in my hands!"
Xue Yutang asked Bai Linglong again: "The guards I originally asked Wuying to set up, are they here with you now?"
Bai Linglong nodded and said: "The guards are here with me, but now the army is developing too fast, and the training of this guard is far from meeting the requirements, so the guards of many low-level generals are selected by them from the army, even if they are high-ranking generals, they are also mixed with their own guards in the guards we send, and our guards have no way but to turn a blind eye!"
Xue Yutang laughed a few times: "In this case, what are you afraid of? This economy, grain and grass, personnel, and logistics supplies are all in our hands, even if they want to rebel, they must be able to jump up, you must know that not all armies have anti-will, if they really want to mutiny, they must also be able to take people away." ”
Bai Linglong frowned and said, "Husband, I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid that once the army has a storm here, this Western Xia Kingdom will definitely not sit idly by!"
