Zhang Juzheng was waiting to hear that Zhu Yijun had other ideas about the preferential treatment of soldiers, and they all sat quietly and listened. Zhu Yijun calmed down his thoughts and asked first: "Can I get all the silver rewards and pensions for soldiers?"
After hearing this, all the important officials present felt a little embarrassed. Zhang Juzheng replied: "Although the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are supervising, it is still inevitable to take action." After hearing this, Zhu Yijun looked angry and took a long breath. He said to Zhang Juzheng: "
Old sir, if we don’t do a good job in governing the country, the country will be in serious trouble."
Zhang Juzheng said sincerely that we have discussed this issue before, but now it is not the right time to bring it up again.
There was some embarrassment on his face, so he changed the subject and said: "Ge Shouli, the imperial censor of the Zuodou, has been ill for nearly a month and a half. It is better for the emperor to release him. Someone else should put the capital procuratorate into strict order and arrest the officials first."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "If Ge Shouli is released, Hai Rui will be transferred from Nanjing."
Zhang Juzheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. After hearing this topic, half of the people's backs suddenly got wet. Although Wang Guangguang's face was calm, his sphincter muscles underneath were so frightened that he almost peed.
Zhang Juzheng replied: "I think Ge Shouli can still work for a few years. Today I will go to his house and drag him out."
Zhu Yijun was also very worried about arresting officials. Judging from his past experience, the leaders of ZTE in the past dynasties have been effective in anti-corruption, and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty is considered the leader.
But Yongzheng was able to accomplish this with his iron man's perseverance and courage. Now Zhu Yijun is still growing, his voice has not yet changed, and he does not have so much energy to do such a big thing.
After typing a few words, he himself changed the subject and said: "The reward for soldiers is not only to give money, but also to give some spirit and spirit. I have thought about a 'medal system' and want to compare it with the current reward system.
Let's make it in parallel." After saying this, he motioned to the eunuch to take out some papers and distribute them to the ministers in the assembly.
While Zhang Juzheng was waiting to look at them, he drew some plum-shaped circular or polygonal signs on the paper, with the annotation on the edge: medal style, divided into seven columns.
Listen to Zhu Yijun explain: "Look at this first column, it is designed for soldiers."
"Soldiers who have not received official positions, as long as they have been on the battlefield once and seen blood, will be issued an iron plum cloisonné medal - I named it the Medal of Courage to encourage their courage to go to the battlefield. Those who deserve this medal will have no years.
reward."
"Soldiers who go to the battlefield and are injured in battle will be issued a copper plum blossom cloisonné medal to prove that he dares to fight and is injured because of his country. Those who are worthy of this medal will receive ten kilograms of salt every year for life. And this medal can be used concurrently.
Yes, each person can get up to two coins, so he can receive up to twenty kilograms of salt per year."
"Soldiers who go to the battlefield and capture the enemy's head will be issued a silver medal with plum blossom and cloisonné. Those who are worthy of this medal will not kneel before civil servants. They will receive fifty kilograms of salt every year for life. This medal cannot be obtained both."
"Personal decapitation level three or above will be awarded the gold plum cloisonné medal. In addition to enjoying all the benefits of the silver medal, those with this medal will be promoted to a small flag officer. - The other columns are similar, and I have also designed them for generals.
Several medals have explanations on the paper."
Tan Lun listened to what he said and said: "Your Majesty, I personally won the gold cloisonné medal with plum blossoms and cloisonne by beheading me. I cannot be promoted to a small flag official."
Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "Isn't this how military merit is promoted at this time? If you get the third level, you can be promoted from a soldier to an official."
Tan Lun replied: "Your Majesty, you cannot have both promotion and reward. Since Jiajing, if the finances are tight, the court will give more promotion than reward. If it is more abundant, it is better to give out rewards as much as possible. After all, rewards are limited for a while, and promotion will be paid in the future.
Infinite, more promotions are not as good as big rewards.”
Zhu Yijun was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Soldiers prefer to be promoted or rewarded?" Tan Lun replied: "Most of them like to be rewarded. If you are below the general, you have to charge into the battle. If you are promoted in this battle, you will die in the next battle."
, it is better to leave a big piece of silver for the family."
Zhu Yijun heard this and said: "How can this be reasonable? Just now you reported that if the family members of those killed in battle above a small flag can receive two dou of rice and two coins of silver per month, they can receive nearly half a tael of silver per month, which can be enough for a year."
If you receive five, six taels, or five or six years, you can earn back your first level of silver, who can resist this calculation?"
At this time, all the important ministers showed embarrassment again. Zhu Yijun looked at their faces and asked: "Can't you get this rice and silver on time?"
None of the ministers answered. Zhang Juzheng sighed and replied: "Your Majesty, this court has no money for more than just one day. In desperation, the rice and silver have been raised by the guards themselves. Where can those who have no followers under the general banner get it?"
arrive."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Who will pay for the money for the injured and dead soldiers? Can the soldiers receive it?"
Zhang Juzheng replied: "This is all expenditure by the imperial court, and the soldiers can receive it."
Zhu Yijun still frowned and said: "Xiaoqi died in the battle and the family cannot receive the monthly rice. The bank matter must be resolved. Otherwise, if the soldiers have no ambition to make progress, how can they have fighting strength?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "Exactly, if the general wants to win, he can only encourage him with generous rewards, which is also an impossible method."
Seeing that the words were gradually getting louder, Zhang Juzheng continued: "Your Majesty, after the Tianshun of this dynasty, due to false leadership and bravery, many people were injured and the merits of the combined efforts were increased. The number of military positions increased and the yearly rewards increased. All ancestors of the past generations were unable to do so."
After the Qing Dynasty retreated. After King Shizong, Qi Gong and Qi Li were not promoted. If they wanted to be promoted, the court would only pay attention to the first-level merit. To get rewards, they could only receive the first-level silver and the wounded silver."
"As a result, in addition to the fact that Xiaoqi's family cannot receive silver or rice, the soldiers do not rush into battle, and they have more than enough to defend but not enough to attack. This is also a major drawback in the army."
"If we want to solve the problem, we can only have the court bear the rice and silver expenses of the families of the officers who died in battle. It will consume more than 800,000 taels of silver a year. It is really difficult to afford it now."
Zhu Yijun heard this and asked Zhang Hong: "Except for the one million gold and silver coins in the palace every year, how much other money is there?"
Zhang Hong returned: "Your Majesty, there is still a little over 1.6 million taels."
Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng: "Let's work together. It doesn't matter if I live a tight life. I will give out 600,000 yuan every year, and the court will give out another 200,000 yuan from anywhere. Let's take care of this first."
Zhang Juzheng led the ministers to kneel down and praise him. Zhu Yijun now holds the imperial store and the imperial factory. The 400,000 yuan should not be taken seriously, but he has too much to invest. It would be a bit painful to take out the 400,000 yuan.
He sighed and said, "I was excited to design the medal, thinking it could inspire soldiers to dare to fight, but I didn't know that the court didn't even provide them with basic treatment, so what's the use of issuing a medal?!"
Zhang Juzheng replied: "The emperor's design of the medal system is indeed a wonderful move. I will take the drawings back first, carefully consider the style, and then write the title and the written form."
Tan Lun also said: "Your Majesty, the shortcomings of the imperial military affairs are not limited to one end, but can affect the whole body. It is the most difficult. We can only plan carefully and solve it slowly." After hearing this, all the ministers nodded in agreement.
.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun could only change the topic and said: "I plan to let Li Chengliang take advantage of the victory to pursue, knock down Gule City, turn Wang Gao out and chop him up. Is this still feasible?"
Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this is the busiest time for spring sowing. If Liaodong is allowed to raise troops again, I am afraid that Liaodong will be hungry this year. It is best to wait until the grain is harvested after autumn before attacking."
Since Zhu Yijun traveled through time, he first defeated Feng Bao easily. After that, he was able to summon opponents on the platform and kill in Nanyuan. He rarely had any problems that frustrated him. Today's discussion at Wuying Hall cast a layer of oil in his heart.
, a slimy shadow. There is a saying in my hometown to describe the feeling of him gradually getting deeper into dealing with state affairs - torn pants and legs wrapped around his legs!
