"Bangheng, father Bin, what do you think if you don't say?"

Chen Dong, a Hanlin Bachelor, sat in a circle chair, and on a table next to him was the "Zechong Mansion Reform Commentary" just presented by the East and West Mansions.

There was silence in the room, and the three Hanlin bachelors, direct bachelors, Hu Quan, Yu Yunwen, and Xiao Buyan, who were named by Chen Dong, all frowned.

Since Zhao Kai often led troops to war and did not accompany all civil and military officials, he followed him and was responsible for drafting edicts. The Hanlin Bachelor's Academy, which was responsible for government affairs, became more and more important. As the head of the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy, Chen Dong, even had the nickname of "internal minister", which seemed to be on par with the fairness of the East and West governments.

Under his leadership, the Hanlin people were divided into bachelor's, direct bachelor's, attendant lecturers, editors, etc.

Among them, the bachelor and the direct bachelor can act as Zhao Kai's counselor together with the edict. The memorials submitted by the two governments, various ranks and troops were first read, and Zhao Kai's intentions were also issued through them. The editor was a pen, and during the war, he had to wear armor and escorts around Zhao Kai. As for the attendant, the attendant was the prince and the princess' tutor.

Among the three people who discussed matters with Chen Dong in the official office of the Hanlin Bachelor's Academy today, Hu Quan, a Jinshi in the first year of Hongwu, was already a bachelor's degree, while Yu Yunwen and Xiao Buyan were also promoted to direct bachelor's degree due to their merits. Considering their age, their future is unlimited!

However, these three young officials with unlimited futures are now slightly frowning and seemingly worried.

The reason why the three of them were worried was of course the restructuring of Zhechong Mansion, which was being rapidly promoted, or the increasing expansion of the class of the mansion soldiers!

There is no perfect system in the world!

Of course, the system of government troops is not perfect. Whether it is the system of government troops in the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties, or the system of government troops implemented by Zhao Kai, they all have their flaws.

In history, the system of the government soldiers in the Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang dynasties was controlled by the Guanlong nobles, and several emperors were replaced. When Zhao Kai designed his own government soldiers, he of course learned lessons and adopted a system that restricted the upper class and nourished the middle and lower class.

For example, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, who stood at the top of the Northern Song Dynasty military system, have just been finalized for the title of a county duke, namely, rank, and houseland, and one piece of land is only 6,000 acres. If you want a ranch outside the border, you have to apply for it again.

In addition, most of these "maintaining soldiers" are poor warriors, unlike those of Guanlong nobles, who are from high families, clans, disciples, and dead soldiers. Most of them are lonely and cold men and have no power in their families.

Moreover, Zhao Kai also used this title to move these "governors" from their respective old nests to Beijing Road.

Beijing Road turned out to be the territory of the Liao and Jin dynasties. These "large-domestic soldiers" have no foundation here. It will be a matter of generations to grow. And they have to be as happy as Dong Jingang.

Therefore, Zhao Kai's brothers and "brother-in-law" are still very reliable, and he does not have the ability to be Emperor Wen of Sui.

However, Zhao Kai "fattened" hundreds of thousands of small government soldiers to fatten the small government soldiers to use peaceful means to limit the large government soldiers!

Otherwise, like Zhu Yuanzhang, the lower-level military households would be as hard as something, so the army heads below would of course be easy to pull the top of the mountain.

Now Zhao Kai’s “little government soldiers” have become Prussian Junkers, and no one is willing to follow the “big government soldiers” on it if they want to raise the mountaintops!

But the "little mansion soldiers" have been raised until now, and they are too fat before they can continue to maintain them. Sooner or later, they will lose control!

There was silence in the room, and it took Hu Quan a while to break the silence: "The inner minister, the official family is not unaware that the government forces will inevitably be difficult to deal with after the great power of the government. But without these government forces, how could we sit in the imperial city of Beijing to discuss matters? The reason why we think the government forces are strong now is because they sent us to the imperial city of Beijing! Since they sent us to the imperial city of Beijing, they have to give them the benefits, otherwise there would be no next time!"

Chen Dong nodded slightly, then looked at Yu Yunwen. Yu Yunwen said with a serious expression: "Hebei, Beijing is almost white, if the fertile land in the southeast is also broken into ruins, so it is really difficult for the soldiers of the palace to cure!"

"Oh?" Chen Dong didn't understand Yu Yunwen's words!

To be honest, Zhao Kai's "high sect" has an average level and is not the same level as Yu Yunwen.

"Inner Prime Minister," Xiao Buyan could understand Yu Yunwen's words, "Only the court has money can control the military troops! The military troops of the Song Dynasty are equivalent to the tribal troops of the Khitan. The Khitan emperor was able to create so many Pishi troops, palace division troops, control the tribal troops of the Khitan, and have the Great Liao Kingdom.

If the court wants to firmly control the 600,000 government soldiers, it must have taxes from the southeast. With taxes from the southeast, it can continuously divide the government soldiers and drive the government soldiers. It can continuously turn the heroes in the government soldiers into Long March athletes, allowing them to open up territory for the country!"

He paused and said, "If the imperial court unintentionally opens up territory, how difficult will it be to encircle 600,000 government soldiers together to raise them? It's just 30 to 40 million a year."

So that's how it is!

Chen Dong finally understood and nodded and said, "No wonder the officials are eager to use troops to the Southeast, so they don't know if the Southeast is easy to take?"

"I'm afraid the southeast is not easy to obtain!" Yu Yunwen shook his head.

Chen Dong looked at Yu Yunwen and seemed to be a little unbelievable, "Father Bin, the southeastern soldiers are weak, and the upstream Sichuan and Xiangyang are all in the hands of the court. The Han River flows into the river, and it is unstoppable!"

Yu Yunwen sighed: "Is it not as good as the artillery in the past? The strength of the cannon is not enough to block the Yangtze River? The artillery has been in the southeast. As for how many bastions are under construction on Yandi, now? Can it be hidden and not seen?

In addition, the gentry in the southeast are afraid that the soldiers of the country will divide their property and will fight to the death to resist the heavenly soldiers, so it will definitely not be easy to seize the various routes in the southeast!"

Yu Yunwen paused and said, "Although the court has 600,000 soldiers, it will definitely be able to level the southeast, but it will be difficult to get all the fertile land!

If 600,000 soldiers in the palace were beaten to the sea of ​​blood, who could stop these red-eyed guys from robbing them in the southeast?"

"Father Bin," Chen Dong looked at Yu Yunwen, "Then do you have a trick to get the Southeast?"

Yu Yunwen shook his head, looked at Chen Dong, and smiled and said, "Is this a trick necessary? The inner minister still doesn't know what scholars in the world are thinking?"

"Ah!" Chen Dong suddenly stood up and picked up the "Zechong Mansion Reform Memorial" on the table, "Bangheng, father Bin, don't speak, let's go meet you together!"

When Chen Dong, Hu Quan, Yu Yunwen, and Xiao Buyan met Zhao Kai in the Yaochi Palace Garden in Shuntian Prefecture Imperial City, he was painting "landscape painting" with a technique of drawing iron wire. To be honest, this "landscape painting" is very poor in artistic quality!

Wu Meiniang, who grinded for Zhao Kai and was responsible for collecting his works, frowned a little when she looked at it.

I saw Zhao Kai first drew a "circular pier shape" on a large piece of rice paper, which was a circle cut off both ends. Then he drew many lines inside the "circular pier shape", some horizontally and some vertically. Most of these lines are not straight, but arcs, intersecting each other, and many "grids" are formed inside the "circular pier shape". At the head and end of this line, Zhao Kai also marked the numbers not Chinese characters, but Arabic numerals, and there is a small circle in the upper right corner of each number.

After drawing the lines and marking the numbers, Zhao Kai started to "draw" and outlined six irregular shapes with a brush. Wu Meiniang didn't know what he was painting?

The "circular pier shape" occupied by these six irregular shapes is not large, so there is still a large piece of blank space. I don’t know if it is used to write inscriptions or stamp?

Chen Dong, Hu Quan, Yu Yunwen, and Xiao Buyan saw Zhao Kai doing artistic creation, and did not dare to disturb him, so they had to wait by the side.

After a while, I heard Zhao Kai talking to himself: "Okay, okay! It's so well drawn, it's so much like it! Hahaha."

At this time, he also saw four Hanlins, so he put down his brush and waved to them, "Come and see how I painted it?"

The four of them came up happily and saw that they were all stunned.

What is this painting? Why can’t you understand it? Is there any special artistic conception?

"Okay! It's really a masterpiece!" Yu Yunwen had already praised Brother Big Thumbs up, but it was definitely not flattering!

Zhao Kai painted the world map of the masterpiece!

Isn't he a little "amnesiac"?

So these days, in addition to handling government affairs and military affairs, he was busy writing down the knowledge in his mind. He learned geography well in his previous life and still remembered what the world map looked like. He was an artist in this life, so he quickly drew it.

"Official family, do you draw an embroidery pier?" Hu Quan's eyes were not as good as Yu Yunwen, and he didn't recognize the world map.

"Official family, what are the patterns on this embroidered stud?" Xiao Buyan also didn't know the world map.

Chen Dong did not want to comment on Zhao Kai's "artwork", so he simply handed over the "Zechong Mansion Reform Commentary". "The official family and the ministers of the two governments sent me a "Zechong Mansion Reform Commentary Commentary", which also indicated that the Japanese and Korean meeting wanted to discuss this commentary."

"Have you read it?" Zhao Kai asked, "How is it written?"

"Official family," Chen Dongdao, "the two ministers thought very carefully, but"

Seeing that Chen Dong was about to speak, Zhao Kai asked with a smile: "It's just what?"

"It's just three parts of the world, and there are one of the government soldiers!" Chen Dongdao, "Don't you think the government soldiers are a little inflated now?"

"Is there any?" Zhao Kai looked at the "World Map" in front of him. How could there be one-third of the soldiers in the palace? He took down almost one-third of the entire Eurasian continent, right?

"Official family," Chen Dong continued to speak, "If there were military soldiers everywhere in the southeast, I'm afraid the country will not be able to do so!"
