Chapter 86: Self-Sacrifice

When he was in the elven world, Wei Xuan raided the two major families of Babuk and Elvis. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThese two families have been dominant for 100,000 years, accumulating countless wealth, and now they are all cheaper Wei Xuan, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the gold, silver and jewelry in his bag as piled up. As for food, it is even more in tens of millions of catties. Therefore, the money and food problem that Kuai Liang was most worried about was not a matter at all in Wei Xuan's opinion.

Hearing Wei Xuan's words, Kuai Liang stopped persuading each other, and arched his hand: "The lord intends to rectify the military horses, and he should first eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled. However, if the old, weak, sick and disabled leave the army, they will have nothing to support, and they will fear the hearts of soldiers for a long time. ”

Wei Xuan nodded and said: "What Zirou said is extremely true, all the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers who are dismissed will be given 20,000 yuan each. Recently, the disabled soldiers in the battle to exterminate Sudai Beiyu and recover Nanyang and Changsha will be given another 20,000 yuan each, and the families of the dead soldiers will be given 100,000 yuan. In the future, the same can be done. ”

At that time, 1,000 yuan could meet the living needs of an ordinary person for a year, and 20,000 yuan was enough for those old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to live the rest of their lives. However, this cost is very huge, except for Wei Xuan, others really don't have this confidence.

Kuai Yue got up and said, "If the lord does this, it will be easy to recruit soldiers and horses. The subordinates are not talented, and within a few days, the gang master will gather 100,000 elite soldiers!"

Wei Xuan waved his hand and said: "It's not that Ding Zhuang can be called an elite soldier, Wei wants to set up training places in Xianshan and Jiangling in the west of the city to train the horse infantry army." Those who apply for the recruitment will receive an additional salary of 500 yuan per month for three meals. Those who are over forty years old shall be abolished and shall be appointed to the counties and counties as government officials. ”

Kuai Yue was puzzled: "I am afraid that the sergeants will not take on the responsibility of the government." ”

The so-called government service focuses on service rather than on government. In fact, the government service is also a kind of servitude, and the people who serve are ordinary people, but they only fulfill their obligations, and they do not have any money to receive.

Wei Xuan has been in this era for more than a year, so he naturally knows this situation, and can't help laughing: "The rules are set, if you serve as a servant, you can receive three hundred yuan a month, is there anyone who doesn't want to?"

Kuai Liang didn't dare to calculate how much it would cost, anyway, Wei Xuan said that he had money, so let him go, just thought about it, and said: "Now the three counties are all in the hands of the lord, and they have jurisdiction over 36 counties in Nanyang, 17 counties in Nanjun, and 12 counties in Changsha, a total of 65 counties. The lord wants to plan great things, and if the counties keep more soldiers, it will not be enough. If there are few soldiers, it will be unbearable. The subordinates thought that they could increase the number of soldiers in each county and make them defend themselves. ”

As soon as Wei Xuan heard it, he understood that what Kuai Liang said was actually the difference between the local army and the regular army. The local army was responsible for defending the city and maintaining law and order, while the regular army was responsible for fighting everywhere and attacking the city and plundering the land, and the two armies performed their own duties. This idea was in the middle of the guard's mind, and he couldn't help but say: "According to Zirou's words, the small county has 500 soldiers, the big county has 1,000 soldiers, and the county town has 5,000 soldiers, all of which are foot soldiers, led by the county guard and the county order respectively, and the food and salary will be halved compared with the state army." In addition, in the state army, there is a lieutenant for every 500 people, and a lieutenant general for every 1,000 people, and the generals are placed on them. ”

Kuai Liang was surprised: "The lord has arbitrarily placed a military position, and I am afraid that it will violate the laws of the imperial court. ”

In the Eastern Han Dynasty bureaucratic system, there were only eight generals in the imperial court, including the generals, and only in some special circumstances would a small number of miscellaneous generals be appointed, and the generals below were Zhonglang generals and school captains. Therefore, the status of the lieutenant general and the lieutenant in the army is still quite high. But according to Wei Xuan's plan, General Zhonglang and the lieutenant suddenly became low-level officers, and there were more generals above them, and there were more generals, generals, and generals, and who knows if Wei Xuan would appoint any other generals.

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Yulu is from Wuzhou County, what is the matter with the imperial court!"

Indeed, when Liu Hong was emperor, he even had to pay money to buy his official position, so how much money could he expect the imperial court to approve? Most of the local officials' salaries still depended on the local governments to raise their own funds. Since it was self-raised, even if Wei Xuan appointed a few more officials, the imperial court would not have much to do. What's more, since Dong Zhuo came to power, many counties have long since disobeyed the orders of the imperial court.

Kuai Liang was only a little worried: "In this way, the taxes of the three counties are no longer enough, and I hope that the lord will not do anything arbitrary." ”

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Wei has already said that the matter of money and food is raised by Wei alone, and there is no need for Mr. to bother." ”

In this way, it does cost a lot of money. As Wei Xuan's territory expands, this cost will be even greater. Even if the gold, silver and jewelry in Weixuan's bag are piled up, it will definitely not last for ten years. But if he can't return to the 21st century within nine years, it will be in vain for Wei Xuan to leave more money behind. Therefore, Weixuan's goal is not to create a prosperous era that everyone praises in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but only to be able to travel around the world in the shortest possible time.

Kuai Liang didn't know Wei Xuan's thoughts, and when he heard Wei Xuan say this, he didn't say anything more.

After some deliberations, Wei Xuan has formulated a complete set of strategies for the rectification of military horses, which is nothing more than the elimination of the old and weak, the recruitment of new soldiers, strict training, and the division of local armies and regular armies. After solving these problems, Wei Xuan did not delay, and immediately ordered to appoint Kuai Liang as the Taishou of Nanyang, Kuai Yue as the Taishou of Changsha, Dian Wei as the general and commander of the guard, Xu Huang as the general and commander of the Ma Army, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan as the generals and the commanders of the infantry army, and Wen Ping as the general and the commander of the navy.

......

After the deliberations were over, Cai Mao returned to her house and sat alone in the hall, sullen.

Seeing this, his sister Cai Qiong asked, "Why is my brother bothered?"

Cai Mao sighed and said: "Brother and Zhou Mu had the earliest relationship, but the Zhou Mu divided the generals, and even Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers have done Taishou, but Brother Wei is still only engaged in individual driving. ”

The Cai and Kuai families are both Xiangyang Wang clans, and the prestige of the Cai family is still above the Kuai family. But now, the Kuai family is one door and two guards, and they immediately compare the Cai family to the Cai family. Cai Mao, as the head of the Cai family this time, is naturally worried.

Cai Qiong groaned: "The little sister has heard that this new state pastor is good at fishing, and when she is young, she has a wife and two concubines, and she also includes Cao Cao's concubine Bian, Sun Jian's wife Wu, and Yuan Shu's wife Feng into the mansion. If the elder brother wants to win his favor, why not enter it with a beauty. ”

Cai Mao's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head and sighed: "The foolish brother doesn't know his preferences, if he is not human, it is not beautiful." ”

Cai Qiong suddenly said: "What does my brother think, how about my little sister?"

"You!" Cai Mao was taken aback, shook her head again and again, and said, "The daughter of the dignified Xiangyang Cai family, how can she be a concubine with someone!"

Cai Qiong said: "My brother is very worried about the prosperity of the Cai family, how dare my little sister spare herself!"

This Miss Cai Qiong Cai Er is Liu Biao's wife Cai Shi in history, and it was she who instigated Liu Biao to abolish Chang Liju, and as a result, she gave the entire Jingzhou to Cao Cao for nothing. It can be seen that she is a brainless woman, where would she be willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her family?
