The morning light shone into the room, and when Shang Yi opened his eyes, he saw Ye Yaoyao's delicate, smooth, plump body, lying tightly on his body as if she was as soft as if she were boneless.
Shang Yi smiled and glanced at his beloved wife with her beautiful eyes closed in his arms. Her smooth skin was as lubricated as silk, and her charming face was radiant, filled with the satisfaction and charm after the clouds and rain. The rosy face and cherry mouth seemed to be stained.
It was as bright as flaming red rouge, and I couldn't help but kiss it.
Ye Yaoyao snorted softly and uttered a fragrant murmur. Her eyelids trembled and she could no longer sleep peacefully. After opening her eyes, she saw Shang Yi looking at her. She couldn't help but feel red and hot at the thought of her cheeks. She hid her face under her eyes.
In his arms, he felt Shang Yi's palms stroking his soft, delicate and breakable skin, and he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
The two of them stayed together on the bed for a while, and then Ye Yaoyao said in a low voice: "Brother, it's getting late, can I help you get up?"
Shang Yi tightened his hands, letting Ye Yaoyao's delicate body press against his, and whispered in her ear: "Wait a while, I want to hold you like this for a while."
Ye Yaoyao only felt a warm current next to her earlobe, which penetrated into her bones. She couldn't help but twist her delicate body slightly, which only caused a close and warm pressure and friction between their bodies. The moving feeling of eroding the bones and consuming the soul made Shang Yi couldn't help it.
The index finger moved greatly, and an instinctive reaction immediately occurred.
Ye Yaoyao felt it immediately, and couldn't help but feel ashamed and scared, and said: "Brother, why are you..."
Shang Yi turned over, pressed on her again, and said with a smile: "Let's do it again while we're at it."
Yesterday, although Ye Yaoqi was a little pushy and half-rejected at first, she also hoped for Shang Yi's love in her heart. Therefore, under Shang Yi's teasing, she quickly became enthusiastic, desperately flattering and obsessed with him.
Shang Yi tried his best to fight to death. As a result, although he was greatly satisfied physically and mentally, he was still so tired that his waist was sore and his limbs were weak. It was not until she begged for mercy in a low voice that Shang Yi let her go and let her live in his own room.
He fell into a deep sleep in his arms. At this time, You Zi still felt that he was not strong enough to accept Shang Yi's conquest. He said shyly and timidly: "Brother, I really can't do it now. I'll wait until night to serve you."
In fact, Shang Yi also knew that now was not the time for the two of them to have fun. He just wanted to tease her. Seeing her softly begging for help, he couldn't help but feel love and pity in his heart. He moved his hands on her body and put his mouth to hers.
She whispered in her ear: "Okay, I'll let you go for now, but as you said, come back in the evening."
Ye Yaojia was ashamed and happy, and nodded with a blush. The two of them got up and changed their clothes affectionately. During the dressing process, Shang Yi naturally took advantage of him, which only made Ye Yaojia blush.
.However, even though Ye Yaoqi was teased so shyly by Shang Yi, her heart was so sweet that it almost dripped with honey. She acted like a little girl in his arms, wishing that this moment could last forever.
After washing up and having breakfast, Shang Yi ordered people to invite Zhou Shiqi, Tang Zhen, Sun Heding, Sun Hedou, Sun Hejing and others to discuss the next work plan of Mu Lingjun. Among Shang Yi's current team, Zhou Shiqi is in charge
In administration, Sun Heding was in charge of engineering and construction, Sun Hedou in Tangzhen was in charge of military affairs, Ye Yaoqi was in charge of clerical and financial affairs, and Sun Hejing was in charge of auditing and teaching. Although the team was not large, a basic framework had been initially formed.
Because the promotion order from the imperial court has not yet been issued, Lian Shangyi is not sure where he will be stationed, but one thing is certain, that is, he will never stay in Muling Pass anymore, but will he still be able to take charge of it in the future? Muling Pass is still hard to say, so Shang Yi decided to stop all reconstruction projects at Muling Pass first and wait until his official position and defense zone are confirmed.
No one has any objection to this point. Fortunately, the expansion project of Mulingguan has just reached the land preparation stage and construction of the city wall has not started, so the suspension of work will not have any impact.
Then Shang Yi explained that he had promised the governor Zeng Hualong in the scriptures to support him with one hundred thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand shi of grain for the resettlement of refugees, and asked Ye Yaojia and Sun Hejing to arrange it immediately. Zhou Shiqi and others also expressed their agreement. , because this move can save many suffering people, Zhou Shiqi and the Sun brothers are both deeply educated in Confucianism, and they should try their best to be loyal to the emperor and love the people, as long as they are within their ability.
Although the money and food provided by Shang Yi was only a very small amount compared to what they received, they also knew that not only did Shang Yi himself have tens of thousands of people who needed to be resettled, but there were also many other places that needed money and food. It is actually not easy to be able to spend so much money and food, so I highly appreciate Shang Yi's righteous behavior.
Next, Shang Yi told everyone that Zeng Hualong assigned Qingshui County and Linqu County to Shang Yi through the scriptures, and temporarily resettled the family members of the army, and allowed them to resume farming. Therefore, Shang had the task of resettling residents and allocating land to them. Yi left it to Zhou Shiqi and Zhou Shaoqing, his father and son, to handle the matter.
Because a considerable number of the soldiers of the Muling Army are villagers under the jurisdiction of Yishui County, the original land in each family is still owned by them, and other temporarily unowned land does not matter whether the owner is still there. When you come back, first allocate it to the homes of other soldiers as soon as possible, and give them seeds and cattle. If some owners of the land come back during the farming period, and there is conclusive evidence to prove it, then negotiate with them, or Transfer the land, or provide certain compensation, in short, start planting some food crops as soon as possible. Although it is a little late, you can still have a certain harvest after autumn, and it can also reduce your own pressure.
However, this involves another problem. Because the war was tense some time ago, the expansion of the Muling Army was relatively fast and chaotic. Even Shang Yi was not sure how many people there were in the Muling Army now. It was estimated that it would be around the second There are about 12,000 to 3,000 people, and there are also about 4,000 to 5,000 militiamen. That is, Shang Yi's men will now be the families of the soldiers. If the soldiers continue to train as soldiers, then who will cultivate the land allocated to them?
According to the Ming Dynasty's garrison system, it was a system that was half military and half civilian, combining farming and warfare. Soldiers usually worked as farmers when farming was busy, drilled during slack time, and were mobilized to fight when there was war. It should be said that in troubled times, this was a A better system, because having land will increase the soldiers' sense of responsibility. They fight to defend their homes and at the same time ensure the supply of food and grass. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, the guard system still played a very important role. function.
For Zhou Shiqi, Tang Zhen, Sun Hedou and others, they all tend to continue to maintain this system of combining farming and war. Even for future campaigns, it is enough to retain about five thousand full-time soldiers. Others
It is better to disband and go home to farm and practice at the same time. This can not only ensure the number of troops, but also take into account agricultural production.
But Shang Yi knows that there is not much time left for him now. The Ming Dynasty will be over in one year, and the Qing army will officially enter the pass. The situation at that time will be more difficult than before, so it is necessary to establish an army.
A professional army can only be supplemented by a certain militia army. Therefore, it is strongly advocated to establish a full-time army with a number of about 15,000 to 20,000 people. The rest can be organized as militiamen, half farmers and half soldiers.
Of course, Shang Yi couldn't explain this reason, but what he emphasized to everyone was that although the Qing army had retreated, the activities of rogue bandits were still very frequent, and they were sweeping through the Central Plains, and they might reach Shandong at some point.
, and he may also be dispatched by the imperial court to quell rogue bandits, so it is necessary to retain a considerable number of full-time troops.
Even more than the problem of no one cultivating the land in the soldiers' homes, Shang Yi had already come up with a set of regulations based on his experience:
1. After the reorganization of the Muling Army, each official soldier's service period is six years. During the service period, in addition to receiving military pay, each soldier's family can be allocated one hundred acres of tax-free land. etc.
After the service period expires, the ownership of the land belongs to the soldier personally, and he enjoys exemption from service and tax reduction.
2. If a soldier dies during his service, or is unable to complete his service due to injury or disability, then the land will also belong to him or his family, and he will also enjoy tax exemption and tax reduction. However, if the soldier does not die in battle, or
If you are disabled and unable to complete your service period, the government will take back half of your land and you will not be able to enjoy exemption from service and tax reduction.
Third, soldiers can either cultivate the land allocated to them by their family members, or lease the land use rights to the government during their service period, and receive a leasing fee from the government every year. The amount of the fee is determined by negotiation between the two parties. Land leasing
After that, how the government uses it and how it produces income has nothing to do with the soldier's family. After the lease expires, both parties can agree to continue the lease or recover the use rights.
Fourth, if someone who is not a soldier is also given fifty acres of land for farming, the first year will be tax-free, and the second and third years will only pay 10%. In the future, it will depend on the situation and harvest, and it will not exceed 20% or 60% at most.
Only after 20 years can one have full ownership of the land, and must undertake corresponding service tasks, and must join the militia, receive training during off-farm periods, and fight with the army when necessary, otherwise the government will take back the land. If he is killed in battle, or injured or disabled, then
You can enjoy tax exemption and reduction.
After leasing the land, the government will recruit other refugees and organize farming, and the harvest will be distributed according to a certain proportion. Because the Central Plains is in chaos and the Qin army is looting Shandong, there will definitely be a large number of unemployed refugees. It should not be difficult to recruit people.
In this way, there is no delay in farming and serving as a soldier. In addition to receiving a land lease fee, soldiers can also receive military pay in the army. After the service period is over, they will also own the land and have certain rights to join the army.
Of course, the final decision is still based on the soldiers' voluntariness and no forced rescue.
After listening to this, several other people felt that Shang Yi's method was good and could be implemented. So Shang Yi ordered Tang Zhen and Sun Hedou to first count the number of soldiers, and then explain to the soldiers in detail what they would enjoy after becoming a formal soldier.
Welfare benefits. In accordance with the principle of soldiers' voluntariness, we will count the number of people who are willing to become formal soldiers, and then carry out a new organizational reform of the military system. In addition, we will count the soldiers who died in previous battles with the Qing Army, and according to the unified
According to the standard, pension will be given.
After all these matters were dealt with, everyone else dispersed, and it was time for Sun and Ding to resume their construction work.
