Chapter 208 Volume 2 What makes Wei Zheng speechless?

When Wei Zheng, who was already over fifty years old, went to the Ming Dynasty as an envoy in his dying years.

Riyueshan is busy with many matters after the war.

Yi Yuanfeng directed the prisoners to clean up the urn city.

Ihara Seki is busy with many trivial matters in the valley.

Puxiluo was responsible for collecting the remains of the fallen warriors on the battlefield and burying them in Yongshan.

This time Li Chengqian did not organize everyone to attend the funeral. He just ordered the youth army and the children in the school to be present, and the rest organized it voluntarily.

At this time, Li Chengqian was discussing with Li Qinjian in the accounting room where the workshop should go.

"No, the workshops still have to be separated. Ordnance is ordnance, and civilian use is for civilian use. If they are mixed together like now, they will be indistinguishable and will affect efficiency."

As Li Chengqian spoke, he knocked on the table, "Sometimes it's better to be better than to be more."

Li Qinjian said: "But if the workshop is divided into two, the efficiency of the workshop will be greatly reduced. Let alone support a war, it is not enough to restore everyone to the equipment level before the war.

I learned that before the war, the brothers of the Resentful Army had thirty arrows and seventy crossbow arrows.

And with the addition of the refugee army and Wan Qi Pu, we now have more than 2,100 soldiers, not counting Qibi Heli's men.

According to the equipment level before the war, at least 65,000 arrows and 150,000 crossbows are needed, not counting other swords, guns, swords and halberds."

After saying that, Li Qinjian sighed and said, "Not to mention follow-up reserves, even if we can return to the level before the war, we can't do it now. If there is another similar war, even if our soldiers are in vain,

There are no arrows to shoot."

In the final analysis, this is the disadvantage of developing too fast.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and said: "I know the problem, but when problems arise, we are asked to find ways to solve them, rather than just making mistakes.

Civilian and military purposes must be separated, and no matter how great the resistance, this must be done.

You only see that the separation of workshops may affect the output of ordnance, but have you ever thought about what Riyue Mountain looks like today? Like a big family, everyone eating from the same big pot.

Although it seems that we have no worries about food and clothing now and everyone is happy, problems will inevitably arise over time.

We cannot stick to Sun Moon Mountain forever, nor can we stick to these people forever.

Let’s not talk about distant places, let’s just talk about the Tiele tribe. After tens of thousands of people from their tribe have arrived, are we still going to continue in this way?

It's impossible. The reason why everyone was eating from one big pot in the first place was because there was no better way. We must work together to tide over the difficulties together.

But after getting through this difficulty, there will always be people who have other thoughts. They will think, why should the value we create be exploited by others? They will think about how to earn more and leave it to their children in the future.

They may even wonder how they can live a better life.

Because capable people will always stand out, this is inevitable.

As the old saying goes, it is not unreasonable to share adversity but not wealth.

The so-called world of great harmony is, after all, just an idealized luxury.

If we want our Ming Dynasty to develop healthily and long-term, we still have a lot to do.

Of course, don’t just listen to what I say and think that everyone is like this, this is human nature, it’s the same everywhere, there’s nothing to criticize.”

There are some things that Li Chengqian actually didn't say. For example, as time goes by and there are more people, some people will find that they will not go hungry even if they don't work, which will breed some people's lazy character.

Li Qinjian listened for a long time, but actually didn't understand anything. He was confused and asked: "Then what exactly are we going to do?"

"Now we are actually at the best stage." Li Chengqian said, "Go and call Yi Yuanfeng, Pu Xiluo and Yi Yuan Xi. By the way, call Wang Xuance and Qibi Heli. Let's take advantage of today to call these people.

The matter has been resolved."

Not long after, everyone gathered in Li Chengqian's accounting room.

Seeing everyone gathered, Li Chengqian said: "I called everyone here today because I have a few things to inform you.

1. From the 15th day onwards, the previous canteen system will be cancelled, and each household can cook on its own. The trade system will be liberalized, allowing trade exchanges and exchange of supplies.

Second, the army should be regularized, food and pay should be distributed on time, and the existing army should be reorganized.

Third, open Changming Grain Store, Changming Clothing Store, Changming Carriage Store, Changming Grocery Store and many other shops that meet daily needs.

Fourth, tax rationalization, all walks of life need to pay certain taxes to maintain the royal court's expenses.

Fifth, the royal court was legalized and officials at all levels and their salaries were formulated.

If there are any omissions, everyone can express their opinions and check and fill in the gaps."

These are all things Li Chengqian had thought about early in the morning.

Riyue Mountain must change, and now is undoubtedly the best time. After all, they have just climbed out of the gate of hell, and they don't have that much thought yet. They really have to wait until the Ming Dynasty becomes bigger and the conflicts become deeper before making changes.

It's very passive.

"I understand everything His Highness said." Yi Yuanxi said, "But now it's almost impossible to uncover the pot at home. Wouldn't abolishing the canteen system push everyone to a dead end?"

They were extremely unable to understand this point. They had tried their best to restrain themselves before interrupting Li Chengqian. Now after Li Chengqian finished speaking, Yi Yuanxi immediately brought it up.

Others also looked at Li Chengqian, wanting to hear what Li Chengqian had to say.

"This is just a general arrangement. I haven't gone into the details yet." Li Chengqian said, "We, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are all hardworking and brave. If you don't believe me, go out and see for yourself. Is there anyone idle in the valley now? Since

After they have worked hard, they will naturally be paid.

Of course, the standard of wages is still open to discussion, but it is definitely enough for everyone to support their families, and there may even be a surplus. As for those whose families have insufficient labor and only the elderly and children are left, special measures will be taken.

You have to believe that our people in the Ming Dynasty are hardworking and brave. Only after they get rid of the collective canteen can they live a better life.

They have been relying on collective canteens, when will they have a better life?"

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, everyone nodded, as long as there are arrangements.

Moreover, they also believed that their people were hard-working and brave, and Li Chengqian's words just touched their hearts.

Next, everyone started a serious discussion on each item.

In fact, everyone is in favor of this change.

Don’t forget, everyone here has vested interests.

Just like Article 5, the royal court legalized and established officials at all levels and their salaries. Aren't these officials at all levels just them?

Of course, these things cannot be worked out overnight and will take time to develop.

After Li Chengqian exchanged and discussed his ideas with everyone, he left with Yi Yuanfeng and Qibi Heli.

He still has to reorganize the army today.

There is no way, the army is in a mess now.

There are the refugee army, people like Wanqi Pu, and Qibi Heli's 5,000 personal soldiers, plus the personal followers and the resentful army. There are not many people, but the sources are really many.

"Do you have any thoughts about your five thousand soldiers?" On the way, Li Chengqian asked Qibi Heli.

Qibi Heli held up his hands and said, "His Highness has the final say in everything."

That's how he is, as long as he sincerely votes, he will follow him to the death.

Moreover, in his opinion, this person is really powerful!

At the same age, Li Chengqian dumped him eighteen blocks away...

"This is what I think. The warriors of the Tiele tribe are originally a whole, so there is no need to break them up. We can simply let the warriors of the Tiele tribe form their own army. What do you think?" Li Chengqian said.

Qibi Heli was stunned when he heard this. He was actually ready to disperse his soldiers.

After all, they have five thousand soldiers and horses, which is stronger than the Ming Dynasty. It is inevitable that Li Chengqian should be on guard. But who knew that Li Chengqian actually let them form an army of their own, which surprised him.

The strength in his hands can overturn the Ming Dynasty at any time!

Is this confidence, or does it really trust us?

Seeing Qibi Heli in a daze, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Don't be suspicious of the people you employ. Besides, since the Tiele tribe has surrendered to me, they are my king's people. The people have not done anything to disgrace me."

Before what happened to the king, why would the king doubt his own people?

Moreover, I firmly believe that the warriors of the Tiele tribe are all loyal people. If one day the Tiele tribe really abandons me, it will only be regarded as because I am ignorant of people, and I will bring the blame on myself."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian chuckled.

Qibi Heli hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Highness, you can rest assured that as long as the general is still alive, the Tiele tribe will always be your Highness's pawns! I will follow your Highness to the death and open up new territories for Your Highness!"

He was really excited, and the feeling of being trusted was really comfortable.

Moreover, the Tiele tribe is somewhat similar to the Turks. They worship real heroes, and he believes in this. (To explain here, many people think that the Tiele tribe are Turks, but I checked a lot of information and said they are not.

Turks, just take a look, don’t worry, please let me go.)

This is also the reason why, in the original history, he would follow Li Shimin to the death.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied, this was the result he wanted.

As long as Qibi Heli doesn't betray him, the Tiele tribe is still firmly in his hands.
