Chapter 39: Judgment and Seeking Support)
(There is another update on September 30, thank you for your support and love!)
"If the layoffs are laid off, then how can we arrange the layoffs?"
Liu Can was a little surprised by the king's rhetoric. When Liu Can contacted the Liaodong mentioned earlier, he asked in a low voice.
"Is it possible that the king set up a military camp in Liaodong by imitating the high emperor's method?"
The so-called military camp is the policy of "combining troops with farmers". It is ordered that the army reclaim fields around its garrison, farm land in normal times, and serve as soldiers in wartime. The court allocates oxen, farm tools and seeds, and does not collect taxes and grains in the early stages of the land. The camp was in front, and there was already military farming at the beginning of the formation of the garrison system. Therefore, if there is official land near the garrison, there must be military farming.
Although the military camps achieved very good results at the beginning, Emperor Gao once said, "I raised a million soldiers without spending a grain of rice among the people." However, the corruption of the military camps was also obvious to all.
"The military camp has long been corrupt. Although the results were seen at the beginning, it still could not escape the situation of corruptcy. Not to mention other things, it is the military camp that the military camp annexed the land or the soldiers stole and sold it due to poverty or other reasons. In this way, the grains of this village are naturally unable to be collected, and the expropriation is less and less. Of course, in the military camp, the soldiers' separation from generation to generation has led to the fewer land in their families, and their lives are in trouble. The military households are fleeing. In the final analysis, in fact, the military camp is destined to be corrupted from the beginning when the military camp system was implemented..."
Zhu Mingzhong did not explain why the military camp was corrupt and why the military households were corrupt. After all, this is a fact that everyone knows.
When Liu Can heard that the king was not planning to promote military camps, he was originally planning to persuade the various reasons for the military camps in the past. He asked in surprise.
"Since the king is not going to promote military camps, what's the point?"
"disarmament!"
Once again, he spit out these two words, and then Zhu Mingzhong said seriously.
"The military must be deregulated, but this disarmament must be carried out with caution. What if Li Zicheng is laid off?"
Cut out one Li Zicheng!
This may be the biggest turning point in the late Ming Dynasty. In the third year of Chongzhen, in order to save expenses, the court began to rectify post stations in various places and laid off tens of thousands of postmen. The effect was indeed obvious, and it saved the court 680,000 taels of silver in a year. But the problem also arises. The postmen who were laid off had a good "iron rice bowl" and no job to make a living, so naturally they took risks.
"Liu Mao seemed to save money for the court, but in fact he was extremely stupid. His severance only caused thousands of postmen to join the rebel army after being unemployed. Not to mention that the ancestors set up postmen to win over powerful people, to make them take the blame, to waste their energy, to save their time, to make them dare not do anything wrong. Just to say that the layoffs themselves, the court cuts too hastily, and they simply cut off their postmen without relocating them. In this way, postmen are naturally dissatisfied, and how can they not rebel..."
Mocking Liu Mao's stupidity, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head and sighed. Chongzhen may be called "diligent", but as a "hot-blooded boy", he is always easy to be fooled.
"Then Liu Mao also ended up well. Because people from Qin, Jin, and Zhongzhou said that the thieves captured were mostly sent to the postman, and there were marks on their shoulders, which were easy to distinguish. Therefore, Liu Mao, who suggested that the post was abolished, resigned from his post and returned home due to the scolding of all officials, and soon died of depression. The coffin was transported to Shandong, and his family could not hire a carriage to carry it, so they were stored in the hotel and could not be buried in the village for many years. It is truly a retribution for the present life."
When Liu Can mentioned Liu Mao’s final outcome, Zhu Mingzhong just sighed.
"Not to mention whether he was repatriated in the world, if he was told, what was the biggest lesson? That is, when the country is in a state of chaos, you must not make a big move. Even if you lay off postmen, you can lay off a Li Chuang. What if you were to disarmament?"
During the rhetorical question, Zhu Mingzhong pointed to the land in front of him and said.
"The disarmament should naturally be more cautious. After all, this army is trained and proficient in the affairs of the army. If it is arbitrarily cancelled, it will naturally become an enemy of the country. If it is properly placed, it can help the country. And Liaodong... no, the Northeast is the best place to resettle retired soldiers! This is also the case with the Northeast, Hetao and other places."
After saying that, Zhu Mingzhong squeezed his legs and the horse's belly. The horse that was originally stopped continued to move forward. While walking towards the river bank, he continued.
"There are nearly one million soldiers in the country. The 600,000 abolition of this 600,000 is not to directly discharge him from the army, but to station him in the northeast, northwest and other border areas, and then distribute his land, give him cattle and horses, and ask him to settle down. At this time, their identity is a soldier in the village, and the court will live up to his military pay. Similarly, his land is also exempted from exemption. During wartime, the court can directly recruit him on the spot..."
In fact, the resettlement mentioned by Zhu Mingzhong is somewhat similar to the later construction corps, but it is also different. It is a "immigration and border realization" method formulated after summarizing the pros and cons of the Ming Dynasty military camps and later construction corps.
“Excellent?”
Liu Can is naturally familiar with the excuse. As a fourth-rank civil servant, he also enjoys the excuse of 8 stones of grain and 8 people. However, according to the "Exemption Rules", the excuse of excuse is not limited to gentry, but also royal relatives, ministers, widows, widows, orphans, military households, craftsmen, stove households, salt households, and horse breeders, and their own excuses.
"It is to exempt you from the superiority, to exempt you from the labor force, and to exempt you from the tax!"
When he came to the river bank, Zhu Mingzhong continued to look at the flowing river water under the willow tree.
"Soldiers in the village do not need to pay grain or perform labor service. They are to protect the villages and serve day and night, so they do not need to serve other labor service."
Compared with land tax, for ordinary people, the biggest burden is corvee service, which includes lijia and erotic service. erotic service is a servant for local government service, and is dispatched by lijia. Later, because the lijia cheated for personal gain, the burden of corvee service was uneven. During the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, apart from those who served in person, part of the corvee service was paid in silver. The former is called licai, and the latter is called silver. Licai refers to the servants who serve in person. Common names include Zaoli and Prison.
The soldiers, men, horsemen, post housekeepers, etc. are mostly responsible for the near-land. Except for the preferential exemption of the person with the privilege of famous servants, all other people are responsible for the service. During the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, the bank bank paid the silver service on behalf of the service. Each person received several cashiers and hired people to serve. The main names include annual tribute, horses, fodder, work-related food, firewood, and food, and food, and the discount for food. They are mostly provided by the lower households and sent to the distant place. The principle of organization of the difference in strength and silver is that the strength is greater than the difference in strength, and the strength is greater than the greater the grain.
The so-called day and night service is just an excuse for Zhu Mingzhong. Of course, Liu Can would not break this, let alone, he wanted to hear the king's thoughts.
"The land in the northeast is no less than billions of acres. If you want to transform the northeast into a county and a mainland, you must immigrate. If you want to immigrate, you must stabilize the place. In this way, a large number of troops will inevitably be stationed. If you garrison too many troops, Liaodong will inevitably be burdened by the court. Therefore, only by promoting military garrisons can the court avoid being burdened by Liaodong. If such military garrisons are implemented according to the old laws, the Japanese army will inevitably be corrupt, and this kind of military garrison will naturally become a bubble."
Liu Canshen nodded in agreement with the king's words.
"What the king said is very true. The method of military camp is not a long-term way. I don't know which military camp is the one that the king said?"
Now Liu Can has become extremely curious. Since the king knows that military camps are not a long-term way, why do he talk about military camps again?
"This military camp is not the other military camp. I think it is a corruption in the final analysis. In the end, it is nothing more than two points. One is that land annexation leads to the loss of land by the military households and becomes a tenant farmer. The other is that the military households have been separated for generations, resulting in the collapse of the military farmland, and the number of land and houses is too small, and the number of people in the service is burdened by the service. Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of military farming, you must start from these two aspects."
The king's words naturally made Liu Can think of the current implementation of "Good Field" in Jiangbei. He seemed to have realized something and immediately said anxiously.
"Is it possible that the king intends to implement the merit system in the Northeast?"
The merit field system is the most special case in Jiangbei. As the name suggests, merit field is to give land to soldiers who retired due to disability and the families of soldiers who died. According to the "merit field" merit field, merit field is exempted. Although there is resistance to this, it is still accepted in the end, because those who receive merit field are either soldiers who are disabled due to disability or families of soldiers who die due to death. Such a disabled or lonely person is naturally unable to perform corvee service.
Liu Can himself did not notice it, and his tone seemed a little surprised. Obviously, in his opinion, he never expected that the king actually planned to implement the "meditative field system" in the Northeast. The merit field system was not just free from labor service. In addition to exempting labor service, it also exempted land tax. Although it was only a few hundred acres at most 200 acres, according to the "Excellent Name Rules", it was much more than the 80 acres of scholars.
Now, when I heard that the "Medical Field System" was to be implemented in the Northeast, or even magnified to 600,000 soldiers, I knew that Liu Can, who had suffered obstacles in the implementation of the "Medical Field System", would naturally be so surprised.
"Yes, that's exactly that!"
Faced with Liu Can's inquiry, Zhu Mingzhong made his plans straightforward without any concealment.
"Not only should we implement the "merit field system", we will also teach fields with military merits. Well, it is basically equivalent to restoring the "famous field system" in the Qin and Han dynasties. Those who have military merits will be given land and houses based on their military merits. Of course, this land and houses are only granted in areas with large and sparsely populated areas. For example, border areas such as the Northeast and the Northwest, as for the pass, they are not given land to their original homes, and they are not given land at all!"
The king's words fell into Liu Can's ears, which made him shocked, and even looked around. It was not until he saw the guards standing several feet away that he breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the words would cause trouble if they were heard.
"The king wants to use the implementation of "gongtian" to stabilize the border areas and use "gongtian" as bait to make soldiers willingly stay in the border areas and cultivate farms in the border areas?"
I know my breath well, and I know my king's character Liu Can continues to test.
"I think that the "medal field system" here must be different from the mainland. If it is like the mainland, "the merit field is not accepted", and there is no tax or service, how can the garrison be maintained in the local government office here?"
Although the king had mentioned "free of his labor service" and "free of his taxes", Liu Can still wanted to figure out what the king did.
"Since it is a meritorious land, it is naturally like the mainland, and it is exempted from labor and taxes!"
Looking at Liu Can with a smile, Zhu Mingzhong asked back.
