Looking through the list and resume again, Cai Huang was unable to throw the list on the table, lying on his back on his back in a wide bamboo chair. Perhaps his movements were a little bigger. Zhao Fujin, who was two meters away from him, looked up.

Zhao Fujin put down the list of the second crossbow battalion of the Third Division, walked to Cai Yan with a teapot, and poured the tea and said, "Don't be angry, Master Anon said, this is what the Xiangjun looks like."

Cai Yan took the teacup sent, pulled her arm and sat on the bamboo chair beside her, and sighed: "My husband is not angry, they are all people who others don't want. My husband is mentally prepared, but... it's just beyond my husband's expectations. After selecting the young and strong army to form the third division, the nearly 100,000 troops were almost gone..."

"It's not just about selecting strong men to form the Third Division, but also about farming. Jiangnan is mostly rice fields, and transplanting rice in paddy fields. Farming is a very physically intensive farm work. If the young and strong men are half of the elderly and weak men, they can also force them to help each other with military orders. Nearly 100,000 soldiers, and the elderly and weak men account for 80%. Let's draw 20,000 10,000 young men and strong men to transfer them to the Third Division. Can the remaining ten thousand people cultivate millions of acres of land?"

Planting rice in paddy fields is not like planting wheat in dry fields. You need to bend down and plant seedlings one by one. Young men can get tired and break their waists even if they plant ten acres of rice fields, let alone the old man’s hair is gray.

Zhao Fujin raised silkworms in the palace, but he didn't know how hard it was to plant rice. Seeing her confused, Cai Yan smiled bitterly: "Because of Manichaeism, the imperial army in Jiangnan killed many people indiscriminately. The 100,000-fang army without fields is suitable for farmers who have no fields. We have never thought about what money to make from the fields of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. If we must say that we make money based on the fields, it is also based on the output on the fields, and rely on business and trade. These are the key points of our money, not on tenant rent."

"So, it's okay for anyone to cultivate the fields, but the problem now is... there are too many old and weak in the Xiang army, and it may be difficult to cultivate millions of acres of paddy fields."

Zhao Fujin frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "Or...why send the old and weak to Daming Island?"

Zhao Fujin had never planted rice, but had seen the scene of farming wheat on Daming Island. Listening to her words, Cai Hua also found that he had short-sighted eyes and began to solemnly consider the advice of his young wife...

"Well... Fu Jin is really smart! At that time, young and strong people can plant at most 100 to 20 acres of rice, and no matter how many, they can exhaust people, but it is different to cultivate wheat. As long as there are three knives, four knives of plows, croakers, rakes... there are only enough cattle, horses and livestock. Three or two people cultivate together. It is very easy to cultivate a hundred acres a day. Moreover, there are 100,000 people who work hard to work on Daming Island, which is also suitable for taking care of the elderly and weak..."

Cai Yan felt more and more that the idea of ​​sending it to Daming Island was very good, and Zhao Fujin's face became more and more blushing, and he was very excited to come up with a good idea.

Cai Ying scratched his head again and said, "It's good to send it to Daming Island, but... but are they willing to leave Jiangnan? Are they willing to go to Daming Island thousands of miles away?"

"Then...what should I do? My husband also said that so many old and weak can't cultivate the fields they give?"

Zhao Fujin was stunned. Even though she was young, she knew that Daming Island was actually a place of exile, and that the old village, the people of Ma Yi Kingdom were more willing to return to Song Kingdom.

Zhao Fujin suddenly thought of a way and said excitedly: "My husband, they are old and weak, and they cannot cultivate ten acres of land. What if they rent it to others to cultivate?"

Cai Yan shook his head and sighed: "My husband gave them ten acres of land each, and he did not allow private purchase and sale of fields. He hoped that these fields would be kept in the garrison and that the soldiers of the garrison would have fields for generations."

Zhao Fujin was a little puzzled, and Cai Huang suddenly asked, "Does Fujin know about the soldiers of the government during the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"

Zhao Fujin was stunned, and then he said a little distractedly: "Fujin...Fujin knows a little."

Cai Yan knew why she was like this, so he got up and came to her, signaling her to squeeze in. The wide bamboo chair was just enough for the two of them to lie together, and then stretched out his arms so that she could pillow on it, thinking...

"The palace soldiers... are somewhat similar to the Baojia Army. If they must be involved with the garrison, the garrison can also be regarded as the government soldiers who have been reduced by many times."

"Fu Jin thought that he had heard rumors on the market, saying that his husband was a treacherous minister..."

Zhao Fujin was uneasy and twisted his body to explain, but Cai Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, my husband believes in Fujin."

"Growing sheep on the grassland is not like cultivating rice in the Central Plains. It takes at least a thousand acres of grassland to feed a herder. If the imperial court feeds the imperial guards and the wing army, the entire grassland can support tens of horses, but the grassland can take out 10,000 horses in a few days. Why? It is because they are shepherds, but they are usually shepherds, but they are horses and bars in wartime, and this is a rough system of government troops."

"The prefectures set up Zhechong Prefecture, and Zhechong Prefecture manages military farming soldiers on a daily basis, farming in their spare time, and serve as an army in wartime. What about Baojia Army? Ten households are one guarantee, five guarantees are one major guarantee, and ten major guarantees are one capital guarantee. The court has drawn the imperial guards and spear coaches to train swords and spears, and take turns to the fort guard... etc., Fu Jin thinks carefully, what is the difference between Baojia Army and the government soldiers? They serve the people on weekdays, and the same takes turns to guard, and the same wartime army."

"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, land was enclosed as Zhechong Prefecture, but the Baojia Army enclosed all the people, but there were differences inside. Zhechong Prefecture was a military farmer, and Zhechong Prefecture supervised the combat and farming of these military farmer soldiers, while the Baojia Army was under the jurisdiction of the local government and had nothing to do with the Privy Council. The Privy Council could only supervise the training, garrison and combat of the Baojia Army."

Zhao Fujin thought for a while, nodded in agreement with Cai Yan's words.

"The biggest difference between the system of the government and the Baojia Army is that the generals are separated. The civil affairs are indeed somewhat similar to the system of the government and military forces. The government and military forces are also military soldiers, and they are also in charge of the battle and farming of the famous military soldiers, even further than the system of military soldiers. After all, the military soldiers are permanent soldiers, and are permanent soldiers mainly engaged in combat. At least the chief officers of each military guard are regular soldiers, not regular soldiers during normal farming and are soldiers during wartime."

Hearing this, Zhao Fujin suddenly became a little nervous, but Cai Yan smiled and said, "Whether the palace soldiers, the Baojia Army, the garrison, or even the Western Regions Protectorate during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, these are not the key points. The key is that the court can control it. All soldiers, generals and even ordinary people know that the sharper the knife, the better. No common people like a dull knife full of gaps when buying grocery knives."

"The court should not blame the knife for being too sharp, but should learn to use sharp blades and kitchen knives to avoid hurting your fingers when cutting vegetables. What is needed is to have a scabbard to avoid stabbing yourself."

"The Han and Tang Dynasties are heavy and the capital is empty, but they can expand their territory for thousands of miles, but they can suppress the world and surrender."

"I, the Song Dynasty, went against the rules. All the elite soldiers in the world were collected from Kaifeng Yizhen. Although they were covered with millions of armor, they were often humiliated by the Western Xia and Northern Liao. If it weren't for signing the "Tanyuan Alliance" with the Liao Kingdom a hundred years ago and being peaceful for a hundred years, no one could say whether your father could only be trapped in the south of the Yangtze River now."

"The Han and Tang Dynasties were like swords hanging out of the air. They were always angry and drew their swords toward each other. Although they had been spreading thousands of miles, they were injured by sharp blades because they often walked by the river. The State of Song not only installed heavy scabbards for swords, but also had to lock them tightly with iron cables. Even so, they felt that it was inappropriate. They also had to put the sharp blades in the sheath and placed them on the top of the cabinet, for fear that others would find them and pull them out. How could they not be killed by others and repeatedly humiliated?"

"Which one is better or worse?"
