Chapter 5240 Serving as a soldier benefits the whole family
Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "I now fully understand your thoughts. You want fairness, but this fairness is the fairness of opportunity. What you need is that everyone has the opportunity to learn martial arts and join the army, and also have the opportunity to study and read, no matter the family,
Regardless of generals, if ordinary people are not given this opportunity, then the country should give ordinary people opportunities. Therefore, in the end, if everyone can learn literature and practice martial arts, naturally there will be no gentry and no military households.
, everyone receives all kinds of education and training based on their own abilities, and finally engages in what they want to do according to their own wishes. This is what you want, everyone is like a dragon, and all living beings are equal."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said: "Yes, this is the future world I want. Practicing martial arts to strengthen the body, dancing with guns and sticks does not actually require much knowledge. Ordinary farmers will have a lot of strength after exercising.
Then if you serve in the army and receive training on battle formations and the use of relevant weapons in the military camp, then even those who have never practiced martial arts before can quickly become an elite soldier, just like Iron Bull. Before he became a soldier,
, he has never even touched a knife, but after joining the army and training for less than half a year, hasn't he become a warrior who can charge into battle? This is because he is in good health and strong, while the people at the bottom have a hard life and have to do farm work and hunt early.
They make a living by fishing, and they have an advantage in this aspect."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, the children of the poor have become their own family early. Although they have not eaten well since childhood, they have to work early. If they can fish and hunt, they will actually get enough exercise for their bodies, especially in Jingkou, because
If you serve in the army, you will be exempted from taxes, and you will also have the opportunity to practice martial arts from a young age. This kind of area is a natural place to produce soldiers, where the king's people are. It would be great if there were more places like Jingkou in the world.
.”
Liu Yu said seriously: "From the perspective of the country and the court, a place like Jingkou can produce soldiers, but all taxes will be lost. Or your Huaibei village can produce elite soldiers, but it will basically be fine.
Production not only does not pay taxes, but also requires the support of grain, grass and military equipment from high-ranking families. If there are too many such places, the court will have no tax to collect, and in the end there will be no way to support the army. Therefore, the place where military production is tax-free
, it is necessary to limit the number, or in other words, it is necessary to limit the household registration."
Liu Jingxuan frowned: "Then if it is to implement the military household or world military system, is it feasible? In the past, the Beifu Army was powerful and invincible in the world, relying on the strong men of the Huaibei village, the good family sons of Jingkou who have practiced martial arts for generations, and
It is the northern refugees who continue to go south to supplement the personnel of these military-producing areas and bring fresh blood and strength. Therefore, the strong men in Huaibei and the good families in Jingkou are both military households. Now that Qingzhou has been captured, the Central Plains will also be in the future.
Sooner or later, we will be able to recover, and there will be fewer and fewer northern refugees who can go south. In fact, in recent years, there have been almost no northern refugees going south. Sooner or later, we will have to face the problem of supplementing the source of troops and warriors. This problem, in fact, we
I've always wanted to discuss it with you."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "You originally wanted the mountain stronghold in Huaibei to receive more strong men, and gather some of the strong men among the prisoners of war in Qingzhou and the Central Plains, or the warriors in the world, to the Huaibei mountain stronghold, or to you
In the army, become a specialized military household, a world soldier?"
Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly: "Yes, I have this idea. The kind of people who have licked blood with their sword heads, killed people, and fought in wars are actually unlikely to be ordinary people again and return to their hometowns to farm. And those in Jingkou
In fact, the household registration is gradually filling up, and it is unlikely to accommodate too many new arrivals. In other words, nearly half of the good families in Jingkou have actually turned into private households and are less able to fight.
This can be seen from the fact that the level of the Jingkou Fight Conference has gradually declined over the past few years."
Liu Yu looked serious and nodded: "Yes, Jingkou is actually much more peaceful than when I was a child. Many families have two or three generations who have not gone to war, and many fighting men have
After I get the title, I will move to the capital or other big cities in the future. It has become less and less like for my neighbors to have veterans teach martial arts to other fellow villagers since they were young, so I have been thinking about the future of Jingkou."
Liu Jingxuan said sternly: "Yes, many veterans only get rewards and no titles. In fact, it is not easy to support them for the rest of their lives. Either go to a tax-free place like Jingkou and become a Jingba family, or come to our Huaibei
I think that if the imperial court can officially give the strongmen in Huaibei the status of military households, so that they can be tax-free and have a formal and legal status, then they can buy properties in Qingzhou or Jiangbei and train their nephews in the Huaibei cottage.
, after becoming Ding, they were sent to the border of Qingzhou to guard the border, and they could have actual conflicts with the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Later Qin Dynasty. Training these children is a good way to ensure the future combat strength of our Great Jin Dynasty."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Ah Shou, your idea is good, but what I really want is not that the Jin Dynasty only has one or two places with strong soldiers, and the people in other places can only farm land and do not know how to form military formations at all.
That's unsustainable. In the last battle of Wuqiaoze, Huaibei's strongmen almost lost most of them, so that your father had to recruit all kinds of bandits and horse bandits to rebuild the army. But the quality and morals of these people are far behind.
It is not as good as before. After the Northern Expedition, every family in Jingkou was wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety. It has been difficult to form an army for many years. These are profound lessons. A big country with millions or tens of millions of people. If there are only a few places, the total
If there are hundreds of thousands of people to choose soldiers, the field of selection is too narrow. This kind of military household and the system of worldly soldiers is destined to perish."
Liu Jingxuan looked at Liu Yu in confusion: "What you said makes sense, but is there any better way? You just said that if the scope of military households is further expanded, I'm afraid there will be no one to farm the land and pay taxes.
.”
Liu Yu took a deep breath: "I want people all over the world to have the opportunity to enlist in the army. I can give people all over the world the right to read and practice calligraphy, and the benefits of being exempt from taxes. But this right needs to be obtained through enlistment in the army.
Obtain, and enlist in the army as a soldier, not just anyone can do it. Strict enlistment tests and assessments are required. If you are not physically strong enough, or have enough skills to fight on the battlefield, you will not be able to join the army. I need
If we truly cultivate this awareness among the whole people, it will be an honor to serve as a soldier and it will bring blessings to the whole family!"
Liu Jingxuan laughed: "You are trying to spread the benefits of Jingkou World Soldiers to the whole country. You are just limiting the number so that everyone can compete for the quota of soldiers. Those who cannot become soldiers can go back to farming and pay taxes, right?
