The third update, please give me a reward!

The frontier officials of the Tang Dynasty were basically Zhang Chao who was decisive and bold.

When killing people, they all did not blink. I think Dou Gui was very harsh in the early days of guarding Shuzhong, and he killed people at every turn. He killed them if he had something to do, but he killed them even if he had nothing to do. Anyway, it was just one word. Those villains in Shu were not considered human beings. Killing them can make them afraid.

They must first be afraid of their power, and then they will be devilish.

It doesn't make sense to them directly.

Zhang Chao did not fully agree with Dou Zhi's approach, but he also believed that it would not make sense only. On the border, as if he was in the jungle, the jungle law was implemented here.

The fist is hard.

The court gave Zhang Chao the applause of a politician, but Zhang Chao completely treated himself as a recruitment officer.

First, we will be punished, and then we will be the rule with swords, guns and sweet dates. If you are obedient, then we will sit down and have a good time. Open a border market and you can get a share of your pie. If you are disobedient, then we will be beaten until we are obedient.

A young and strong slave in Tuyuhun was snatched by the soldiers of the government. Even the limit and price limit could not reduce the intensity and popularity. The transaction prices of the slaves almost exceeded the reserve price of fifteen sheep, and all floated below the upper limit price of twenty sheep.

There were more than 20,000 slaves, more than 23,000 old and young in the Hei Yeli tribe, plus more than 2,000 from the Yeli tribe, a total of more than 25,000, and they were all sold out in one day.

"Empress, you must not guess how much these slaves sold in total!"

"Two hundred thousand?" Zhang Chao guessed.

Ma Zhou shook his head and said with some excitement, "The credit point of just over 200,000 yuan is more than 200,000 yuan!"

More than 200,000 guan, half of which was deducted was returned to the soldiers of the palace, and half of which were left in Taozhou, 100,000 guan.

The urban defense fund is 40,000 yuan, the pension and relief fund is 40,000 yuan, and the strategic grain reserve fund is 20,000 yuan.

This was just selling the slaves' money, and 40,000 guan was used to build the roads of the military mansion city, Tuanbao Tunzhuang, etc., which was quite abundant. However, this time, less than 100 casualties in Taozhou, so naturally there was no more than 40,000 guan of pension and relief funds.

If you buy 10,000 guan, you can buy thousands of stones of grain.

"These three sums of money must be used for special accounts, and there must be no misappropriation or other situations. They must also be disclosed regularly and subject to everyone's supervision." The money cannot be used up for a while. Since special funds have been established, they must be guaranteed to be used for special purposes.

"Leave some of the money and save the extra money directly to the bank. 40% of them are used to collect interest on ordinary deposits, and 60% are asked to manage our financial services for us."

The so-called financial management is actually to ask the money bank to help borrow money. The interest rate is lower than that of the yamen itself, but having a special agency to help deal with it, which is more worry-free.

Of course, this is also considered some of the benefits Zhang Chao has gained for his own money house.

After the slaves finished filming, they took photos of war horses, and after the horses, they took photos of ordinary cows, horses, mules, camels, and then sheep.

There are still many businessmen coming in Jiangxin City.

They were watching the excitement outside, watching the slaves being taken away by those smiling soldiers, all full of envy.

"These men fought for a long time. Can each of them get several thousand yuan of spoils? It's so cool!"

"No, many of the soldiers in the palace were just teenagers. As a result, they followed Zhang Jun to Longyou with a good life and became soldiers in the palace. The land was divided into hundreds of acres, and the family brought it to him, and the other ones were divided into hundreds of acres. Their houses and trees were sold in the pass, and they even sold them all."

It is said that the Po family is worth a lot of money. If these soldiers moved here, the court paid the An family and travel expenses. After that, the Po family was sold at a good price.

I heard that they were all good things for the Zhang family, and many nobles followed them, so they could sell the land for money. They could sell the old furniture in the house for money.

Now Taozhou is divided into land and spoils.

I envy these businessmen who came here with great difficulty, especially those caravans. They worked so hard that they returned on the road, but they could make very little money. Many of them even had business registration because of their identities and were discriminated against.

"I want to settle in Taozhou."

"You can really settle down. As long as you are free, you can move to Taozhou to settle down. Once you settle down, you can divide the land. One hundred acres, a woman, a middle-aged man, and a 20 acres of children. If a family of five or six people, they can also get two or three hundred acres of land. Even if half of the cultivated land and half of the mountain land, there can still be hundreds of acres of good land."

"It's a pity that it's too late, so I can't be a soldier." A guy sighed. If he could become a soldier, it would undoubtedly be the best.

Looking at these soldiers, some of them were only sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were divided into land and land, and spoiled. I even heard that they could get a subsidy every month, as if they were given rewards from the commercial tax collected in Taozhou to the soldiers.

Even Ma Zhou felt that Zhang Chao treated the soldiers and officials of Taozhou Prefecture very well, and he paid a lot of dividends every month.

"This is what everyone deserves." Zhang Chao didn't feel that he shouldn't give dividends.

Everything in Taozhou today is also a situation that Taozhou prefecture soldiers and officials work together to defeat. Let them share the dividends of Taozhou, which is healthy and long-term.

Zhang Chao calculated the income of Taozhou very clearly, and handed over to the court every month, intercepted the part to the military prefectures and county governments for their own use, and then took out a lot of it as a bonus and distributed it to the soldiers and officials of Taozhou.

Even ordinary immigrants can enjoy the dividends.

They do not directly share the money, but can enjoy many policy benefits of the government, such as the Lintan Academy established by the government, which is free for the children of Taozhou. Now they are planning to build schools in various counties and townships to facilitate children to study nearby. In the future, the village school may be said to be junior high school, county school is junior high school, and Lintan Academy is a middle school, or even a university.

When the government has money, it will also spend money to build roads, water conservancy, grain planting prepared for the people, etc., which are all dividends to the people.

Not only is it a bonus to pay money, it is also a bonus to avoid many burdens.

Generally speaking, such high welfare in Taozhou cannot be maintained, but the prosperity of border cities is a boost. Especially the two expeditions have made the Taozhou treasury rich.

"The soldiers of the government must prepare their own equipment, knives, arrows, and horses and mules. These cost a lot. In the past, the Central Plains selected the soldiers of the government in the middle of the country, and they were all children of wealthy families, so these burdens were not a problem. But in our Taozhou, there were nearly half of the soldiers of the government, who were poor and had no savings. Without these benefits, they could not buy all the equipment themselves. Not to mention that they could buy horses and raise mules themselves. If the equipment was not complete, the combat effectiveness of our Taozhou would have to be reduced."

"Besides, although the soldiers of the government have divided a lot of land and when their families immigrated, they also sold houses and land for some money, but most of them are deserted. To reclaim these wastelands and build rice and grain rivers, it cannot be achieved in one day or two days. It requires a lot of early investment."

The border is not as good as the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the government soldiers are not professional soldiers.

They are farming and fighting in the country, and they spend more training and duty time than the Central Plains, and the danger is much higher than that in the Central Plains. If there is no profit, how can they get the enthusiasm?

"Binwang, the achievements of the soldiers should be made as soon as possible according to the merit assessment. Those who should be awarded the merits should be awarded, and those who should be promoted will be promoted. Our soldiers won a big victory, which is not a shame. I can directly approve the merits below General Cheqi and Cavalry. I have to submit the merits above General Cheqi and Cavalry to the court to approve the merits."

Rewards will be rewarded if you have merits, which is a very important point.

Zhang Chao must keep the sign of reward for his merits, so that the Taozhou soldiers will be more motivated. The Tang Dynasty soldiers collapsed in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Why?

The government soldiers turned to recruiting troops, and their combat effectiveness began to decline, and the Tang Dynasty also declined from prosperity.

Why does this situation occur? There are two most important reasons. One is that the annexation of land and land mergers are intensified, and the equal land system is in name only. The imperial court has newly appointed government soldiers, but there is no land to be granted. The land of government soldiers is no longer enough.

The second is that you cannot reward merits. In the early Tang Dynasty, almost all achievements were fulfilled. If you make a contribution, you can be promoted and promoted. If you get a merit, you can have a merit field. If you get a merit, you can have a merit field. If you get a merit field, a merit field, and ordinary government soldiers can also be promoted.

But by the mid-Tang Dynasty, almost none of these could be fulfilled.

The soldiers of the palace even stayed in the border areas all year round and were not allowed to go home for many years. They fought desperately, but they were often difficult to get promoted. They were mostly given honors, but they were empty honors, and there was no honor and Yongyetian.

They still need to prepare their own equipment. Often, when the troops in the government are on the turn of guarding the border or being summoned to fight, they have to go bankrupt and install.

The soldiers in the palace became poorer and poorer. The children of landlords and self-cultivated farmers were unwilling to be soldiers in the palace and instead studied to take the imperial examination. In the end, the government system collapsed and disappeared like the equal-field system, and could only be replaced by the recruitment system.

The quality of the recruitment system and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers are far inferior to those of the palace soldiers.

Under the recruitment system, more and more veterans appeared, and many other situations were also vacant. Before the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang army had already lost more and won less in battles with foreign tribes such as the Khitan, Turks, and Tubo.

Only with a good incentive system can the soldiers maintain a high fighting will and excellent combat level.

"After this trading conference, I asked to build a military fort on the territory of the former Heiyeli Ministry, widen the roads, and incorporate the three hundred miles into my Taozhou."

"this......"

Ma Zhou was really convinced by Zhang Chao. He originally thought that the territory of the Black Yeli Ministry that Zhang Chao told the Yeli envoy belonged to the Tang Dynasty since then, and thought it was just a joke.

"First build the military fort, then build the road, and keep going forward, wherever the military fort, wherever the road is built, wherever the beacon tower, and wherever the pier. After the soldiers arrived, they would recruit immigrants or merchants to farm. The 300 miles of land could be reclaimed, and could accommodate tens of thousands of immigrants!"

"After the trade fair, I handed over 10,000 jin of money to the court, and then ordered a batch of weapons from Weiwei Temple. Horizontal knives, bows and crossbows, shields, Mingguang armor, marching spears, Modao, etc., especially bows and crossbows, I hope our Taozhou soldiers can also be equipped with bows and arrows, and horizontal knives are 100% equipment. Remember to order more large crossbows such as Fuyuan crossbows and crouch crossbows!"

If you want to develop the 300-mile Hei Yeli territory, Zhang Chao knew that it would not be so smooth.

There are six Yili Ministry. Even if Tuyuhun does not interfere, there will be a battle between dragons and tigers.

Don’t fight unprepared wars, prepare more weapons and make more preparations.

Zhang Chao is not afraid of war, and he even likes war. War is also a way to quickly expand his strength.

In fact, Zhang Chao really wanted to establish a military factory in Taozhou, produce crossbows, and make armor, but firstly, there were not enough craftsmen, and secondly, the manufacturing of military training equipment has always been strictly controlled by the court. Local governments should not be involved, and local troops should not be allowed to make weapons privately.
