Chapter 68 Engineer Production and Construction Camp
Sun Chuanting and Chen Xinjia stood in front of Chongzhen's desk at the same time. After bowing to Chongzhen with serious faces, Chongzhen motioned for them to sit down.
"Two dear friends, I am summoning you today because I want to know how the rectification in Beijing Camp is going."
"Back to Your Majesty, I and Chen Shangshu have made effective improvements to the Beijing Camp. Now the Beijing Camp has resumed rotation training. It will take a while for the Beijing Camp to regain its combat effectiveness."
Chongzhen nodded. Chen Xinjia was quite capable. It was indeed stupid for him to kill him in history. Others were willing to take the blame for him, but he turned around and betrayed others.
"Sun Aiqing's work really makes me feel at ease, and Chen Aiqing has also lived up to my respect. Well, I have an idea recently.
Since the sergeants in the Beijing Camp did not want to train and instead liked to do construction, help the officers repair their houses and collect external water, they simply invited a group of people to go out to build roads.
I plan to repair the road from the capital to Shanhaiguan, and will repair roads in other places in the future.
So anyone from the Beijing camp who is willing to open a road can sign up and join this engineering and soldier production and construction camp for a few months, and they will receive an additional one tael of silver per month to subsidize their food and salary, and I will personally send someone to distribute the money."
"Ah? Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Beijing camp will have no fighting power. Now that the Beijing camp has just been reorganized and its excesses have just been restrained, all the previous efforts made by this arrangement have been wasted."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the capital camp does not protect the capital, but builds roads instead, the capital will have no one available except the imperial guards, and all the soldiers will go to build roads, who should allocate the farmland to?"
Chen Xinjia and Sun Chuanting didn't understand. The capital camp had been well trained and was about to be ready for duty. Chongzhen's words were all in vain.
No minister would be able to figure this out.
"Who said that building roads and military camps can't protect the capital? I only need to allocate ten or two thousand people to build roads in rotation, and building roads is also a kind of exercise. Those who don't want to do it can go back to the capital camp."
Chongzhen mainly wanted to cooperate with Chen Ye and implement the general coupon system. When the military households in the Beijing camp went out, everyone received military coupons and could buy things worth one or two silver coins. The use area of the military coupons would become larger.
.
Another thing is that in the future, the new army branch will definitely take this road when it comes out of the customs. If it is repaired now, it will only be good for the future.
"In this way, I will have no doubts. I will raise the issue of road construction tomorrow. Then all your Majesty will need to do is raise the salary for the sergeants and leave the rest to me."
"I will definitely cooperate with Mr. Sun and settle the many arguments in the court."
Chongzhen nodded. He was able to handle the affairs of the imperial court well, and it was much easier for him. Moreover, he allowed his ministers to raise any issues. He was a good person and had little resistance. He had often done this in the past.
The next day, on the way to the morning meeting, Sun Chuanting proposed that the Beijing camp should separate several troops to build roads to connect the capital and Shanhaiguan on the grounds that it would be convenient for the capital to support outside the customs.
In an instant, the court was filled with discussion.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. Although they are just a few troops, they have finally broken the order of the Beijing camp. Such a demoralizing move is inappropriate!"
"Chen Yushi, you are wrong. Road construction is also training. How can you be discouraged?"
"Your Majesty, how can the reorganization of the capital camp be abandoned halfway? Now that spring plowing is around the corner, if manpower is allocated, there will definitely be fewer people in the guard posts near the capital."
"Master Zhang, please don't talk nonsense. Master Sun's suggestion is also for the good of Beijing. The people left behind can also work full-time in farming."
"Master Sun, and Chen Shangshu, are you so ambitious just because you are in charge of the capital? Why did you deceive Your Majesty so much and spend several times as much food on road construction?
Nowadays, all the food from the imperial court is used to support the border affairs in Jinzhou, and the food and salary have been exhausted. If you really have that intention, why not think about how to save some food for the imperial court."
Chongzhen felt angry and amused as he listened to the exchanges below. Do they support rectification at this time?
No, they are not supporting it, but are opposing the new proposal with corrections. They have not considered the benefits of building roads at all, but they can firmly grasp the disadvantages of amplifying it.
After the people below had a quarrel, Chongzhen took stock. Among the six cabinet members, only Zhang Sizhi ignored his own eyes and quarreled with Sun Chuanting and Chen Xinjia.
In the Six Books of Documents, it is understandable that Li Daiwen had doubts about food and salary, but Chongzhen did not express his opinion, which allowed some smart people to see something.
Now the most favored people in the court are Sun Chuanting and Fan Fucui, but they don't quarrel with each other, and no one would believe them if they say they have nothing to say.
Even Zhang Sizhi's behavior was thought to be a deliberate attempt to impress others. After all, if even the academicians and ministers later surrendered, wouldn't it be logical?
Thinking of this, the quick-thinking censors who were usually just slanderous and inactive, as well as the counselors recommended by Zhang Sizhi, the minister began to cooperate with Zhang Sizhi. After all, everyone thought it was just a formality at this time.
Chongzhen originally planned to tell Zhang Sizhi to shut up and make a final decision, but when he saw the suddenly bustling court and the shouting Zhang Sizhi, he suddenly felt confused and turned to look at Gao Yushun.
"Quiet!"
Gao Yushun shouted at the top of his lungs, but the noisy people below paid no attention to him. Only Sun Chuanting and others stopped.
Chongzhen waved his hand to make Gao Yushun stop, silently gestured to the little eunuch in the distance, then took out an earplug from the space and plugged it into his ear.
The little eunuch in the distance turned on the Bluetooth speaker in the corner of the court room as indicated by the gesture, and then pressed his ears.
"Bluetooth connected!"
The loud mechanical sound came, which confused all the ministers present. The minister who had followed Chongzhen up the city wall that day thought of something, shut up and looked at Chongzhen.
"Shut up, shut up!!!!"
Chongzhen held the microphone a short distance from his lips and shouted loudly. The loud voice came from the Bluetooth speaker in the corner, making all the ministers' heads buzz.
The sound reaches the microphone and echoes again, until it says "Bluetooth has been disconnected. This is the end."
Several chief assistants, six ministers, ministers, ministers, and censors all felt a stinging pain in their eardrums, and then looked at Chongzhen in a daze.
Chongzhen glanced at the few ministers who had just made a fuss with disappointment. They had been opposing all day just for the sake of opposition. Going to court was like acting. There were several ministers like this who he had personally promoted and favored. After two days, he would ask Li Ruolian to give them to him.
They did.
Well, the shopkeeper said it is special.
"I agree with Sun Qing's proposal, and in order to support the China Unicom Road, I have specially spent my internal funds to provide one or two extra dollars per month for each sergeant who is willing to join the road construction corps. I will send someone to personally distribute this subsidy to the soldiers.
.
If the construction period of any unit is the slowest and the road quality is the worst, we will change it back to the guard station and send new people to join."
"I will receive the order."
The heads of a group of ministers were buzzing and they had not yet come to their senses.
Li Ruolian stepped forward to report.
Next week, the website and client will be classified into categories and recommended. I was planning to add updates. But there was a car accident, so I can only guarantee normal updates.
