"Your Majesty, the country's redundant soldiers are already very heavy, so we can't add any more troops," Wen Yanbo, who had been diving for thousands of years, finally spoke.$..

"Duke Wen, there are several intentions to increase troops this time. Zheng Baiqu will move out a lot of irrigated farmland. Therefore, I told Wang Ju that it is used to resettle soldiers. Why is it used to resettle soldiers? First, the lives of soldiers' families can be guaranteed and morale will not be depressed. Second, the soldiers have surplus grains in their hands and will not hoard goods, which will allow Shaanxi to obtain a large amount of surplus grains for military grains or drought resistance. If it is replaced by the people, migrate in large quantities and deal with injustice, many disputes may arise. If it is ignored, it will soon become the prey in the hands of many evil gentry, as well as the fields and hidden fields."

Wen Yanbo frowned.

Wang Ju also frowned. It is still a good idea to mention this merger and Hidden Tian at present.

Or, for example, usury, people may think that usury is just about earning interest, but in fact, usury is of great use. For example, in order to deal with the landlords, the Song Dynasty issued an edict that no one could prohibit the people from moving.

When the tenant farmers are out of reach, the tenant farmers can escape by themselves.

This forced the landlords to treat tenants with humanitarian spirit and reduce the national crisis. So the usury came, and we put down the usury and owed me money. Your wife and daughter are my people, and you are my people. If you don’t pay back the debt, where can you go? Jingyang is a little better, especially in Chang'an, the situation is even more serious.

Why is Chang'an more serious? There are so many noble people!

So it is best not to mention the merger of hidden fields, but only the increase of troops and the reduction of troops themselves.

Fortunately, Zhao Xu took back the words in time: "But if the Poche Army is used, the Poche Army will also be organized and resettled nearby, and there are not so many Poche Army nearby Zhengbaiqu. Moreover, the labor force of the canal workers is insufficient."

"Your Majesty. I don't know which villain instigated Your Majesty. I just asked one question. Do these military farms pay taxes? Don't soldiers give money?" Sima Guang asked from the side.

That villain mentioned Zheng Baiqu, who else could it be?

Of course, Sima Guang will not attack Wang Ju for the time being. Zhao Xu just said Jiao Yong, and it would be wise to continue targeting him.

"What should I do according to your opinion?"

"It's not about increasing troops, but about laying down troops. And Gong Wen had experience in laying down troops and laid off 80,000 imperial guards."

"Your Majesty, Sima Guang's words are extremely true. The country's top priority is mainly redundant soldiers and redundant officials." Lu Gong said.

Others also talked about it in a verbal way.

It's really impossible to increase troops.

"Your Majesty, remember that during the Spring Examination, Your Majesty repeatedly instructed me to reduce the number of Jinshi's quotas for the literati and literati according to the edict of the late emperor. I also followed the order. Why is it because the officers and soldiers are too redundant? I hope Your Majesty will be careful and do not harm the villain." Sima Guang said again.

"This person will not harm the country and will not mislead me!" Zhao Xu said. Didn't he agree? Don't worry about it anymore, why are you here again?

"No matter whether it is harming the country or not, your Majesty cannot agree to the proposal to increase troops." Lu Gongzhu said again.

"Okay, I will talk about laying down troops first, and then adding troops." Zhao Xu said excitedly. Everyone said laying down troops. This time I said laying down troops, you don't object to it.

"I have a plan here, please give me some advice."

That is the first step of the elite military plan written by Wang Ju.

The eunuchs were drawn from the inner palace as the envoy, and then the Beijing officials were drawn from the capital, as well as the magistrates of each state, and the three parties supervised and cooperated.

There was commander-in-chief Wen Yanbo in the court, and there were commanders of the head governors of Changzhou in the local area.

The country is divided into fourteen areas: Kaifeng, Yingtian, Luoyang, Linzhou, Bingzhou, Dingzhou, Daming Prefecture, Jingzhao Prefecture, Qinzhou, Weizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Jiangling and Tanzhou.

Why didn’t Lingnan exist, but Tanzhou and Jiangling Prefecture?

Kuixia barbarians, Meishan barbarians and Beijiang barbarians!

The Song Dynasty had punished the harm of the Six Divines, and the strategy was to buy An. However, after buying An, these people still came out to plunder, but they did not buy An, and even came out to plunder. If they plunder wealth, it would be fine, but the key was to plunder the Han people.

It would be fine if the Han people were serfs, and there would be the evil power of the first night. It would be fine if there were many barbarian leaders who liked to eat human flesh and heart and lungs.

The court was forced to station a large number of banished soldiers in this area. However, the weather here was so hot that the northern banished soldiers were not used to it. Often, every time they were on the garrison, they could only return as soon as they were garrisons, and countless dead were dead.

Wang Ju didn't think much about it. The evil people will be punished by evil people, and there will be a fierce man like Zhang Dun in the future.

The current situation is still to lay off troops.

After these envoys and the capital arrived in various states, they immediately ordered the battalions to instruct the gathering of the imperial troops in the name of examining the martial arts.

Then call it with the roster.

This point of view will immediately find a very cruel problem, that is, eating empty salary. This problem is too heavy. Not only will it eat a lot of the country's finances every year, it will cause many consequences. For example, if the armor is changed, it will be distributed to each battalion according to the military registration, including those who eat empty salary. Then the armored battalions instructed how to deal with it. Some people even dare to sell it to the Xixia people. This consequence is not serious.

For example, at the beginning of a battle, 100 battalions of officers and soldiers were transferred according to their military status, with many soldiers and 40,000 to 50,000. However, the real force was less than 20,000. A battle that could have been won was defeated.

Why do we find out if the soldiers die and do not cancel their lives, and the ranks of the escape are not removed, and there are no soldiers who are missing. Some even instruct the soldiers to encourage the soldiers to escape in order to get the salary. Especially the border troops in the garrison, there are 500 people in the battalion, and 300 people escaped. They go out to do private work and make a living, or go home, and the generals ignore them. When the garrison is over, you can come back together. But this salary is paid to the generals of each battalion.

However, once you name it, there will be various reasons, such as performing tasks, guarding forts, or linking together. What is a linking together? Because it is for one state and one state to investigate, soldiers only have the number of tattoos, such as Zhenwu camp only has the word Zhenwu. Then the neighboring states can link together. Therefore, it is necessary to let the yamen runners block the intersections and strictly prohibit the army from being transferred.

However, there will be a lot of trouble, but I only call the name and don’t ask about the others, so as not to have bad consequences and lead to some instructors to mutiny with the sergeant.

After you finish your name, you will take the martial arts exam in school, such as the archer. The standard Song Gong is one stone and two. You have to pull it three times in a row to pass. If you can't even achieve this standard, don't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

The qualified and the unqualified are given a different mark based on the military registration.

After the inspection of one state and prefectures was completed, the commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion were called to gather in each state.

Those who were ineffective and those who had earned a lot of money would be persuaded to retreat on the spot. At this time, they left the military camp, and had no soldiers in their hands, and could not cause any storms. Then they immediately dispersed the troops of their battalions as units, and reorganized them with other battalions nearby. With these instructed to suppress them, they persuaded them to retreat for the second time.

First, it is used to intimidate the empty salary. Second, it is to persuade the upper-level generals of each battalion to retreat with the least commotion.

Then all soldiers who failed the exam and who were over 50 years old and had no practical experience would be persuaded to return.

As for the soldiers who are not registered due to various reasons, such as being sick, guarding various forts and villages, the third reorganization will be carried out, and the school will be examined one by one, so as to prevent some generals from using these people to make trouble and continue to cause a large number of empty wages.

This is the second-hand soldier.

The wing soldiers are easier to deal with. They do not need too strong combat power. They dare not mutiny. As long as they choose the only sons and elderly people in their families, they have a way out, let them leave the military camp themselves, and give them a subsidy of ten cents of money every year for five consecutive years, so that they can leave the military camp with a basic guarantee. Those who have no way out will continue to stay in the military camp to support and work. This is used to achieve the reduction of the wing soldiers at the lowest price and the minimum commotion.

Of course, doing so will not solve the problem of losing money at once.

There will be more, but much less.

And after eliminating these old, weak, sick and disabled people, the strength of the army has not decreased but increased. At least the tenth battalion of imprisonment will be transferred to the 10th battalion, and there will be more than 40,000 troops, rather than 20,000 troops.

If you do well, this time alone, you may have eliminated 200,000 to 300,000 ban soldiers.

So this increase in troops is not a harm to the country, but no matter what, once the elimination begins, the number will drop sharply. Everyone will only look at the numbers and not the real soldiers and horses, and they will still be very worried, especially in Shaanxi.

Therefore, in the Zheng Baiqu area, strong people were selected from the righteous and bravery, and their families were just only sons, and they were tattooed and organized into the Poche Army. And with Zheng Baiqu able to support their family, I believe that many brave men would be happy to join the Poche Army.

Then we can add nearly 20 battalions of Poche Army, first water conservancy has obtained labor, second Shaanxi border defense strength has been enhanced, third, although some expenditures have been increased, 200,000 to 300,000 troops have been reduced there, and this little expenditure is nothing.

In fact, the Poche Army's combat effectiveness is also stronger than that of the imperial guards.

"The injunction is actually inferior to the Pochet army..." Zhao Xu finished speaking in one breath and sighed.

Everyone was speechless.

If Han Qi is there, he can still be called to Han Qi. But if Han Qi goes down, everyone doesn’t have to be called to Han Qi anymore.

Whether it is strong or weak, the battle in Dashun City is like a mirror of demons.

"Duke Wen, I'll leave this matter to you. For the sake of the great Song Dynasty, I hope Duke Wen must do it well." Zhao Xu said cautiously.

"The old minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." Wen Yanbo said immediately, without thinking, laying off troops was right for his appetite. Moreover, if the layoffs were done well, it would be a great achievement. And there is a big secret...

Sima Guang's mouth was bitter. He was so smart. He immediately realized that he was cheated by the little emperor and Wang Ju. The two of them deliberately only talked about the front, not the back, and first talked about the increase of troops and not mention the layoffs. They took the lead in opposing this opposition. This opposition, the layoffs were implemented with everyone's unanimous agreement.

In fact, it is just the first step in the plan to lay off troops and strengthen troops.

There is still something behind that, and you have to implement it step by step, and there will be a big mess if you are anxious.

So Zhao Xu began to talk about the second thing, Fangchang River Ferry and the 28-point system.

What is the 28-part system? In the past, the mine pits in the Song Dynasty implemented a course system. If you leave this pit to you, how much courses you have to pay in a year. Many wealthy families made such a contracting system hard. Therefore, many mines "can't contract out" and had to be managed by the state. However, the state had to pay mining costs, and to manage the people with clerks. As a result, clerks were harshly stripped, or deficits, or lead to the miserable life of the people.

Therefore, the 28-point system is now implemented, and the servants are responsible for the cost of mining themselves. The state can at most send people to assist or provide technical assistance. The rest are the responsibility of the servants themselves. Eighty percent of the mining income belongs to them, and they are allowed to sell it themselves. The government will get two parts. But if the government does not pay any cost, it will no longer be harsh on the people as the servants. Then it is combined with the Fangchang Hedu auction system, so that the people can be "lucky and wealthy."

As long as the implementation is done, the court can get rid of one big burden after another.

Even without the system of selling gunpowder, the state's mine trap will not only not become a policy that harms the people, but will instead become a move that benefits the people, and the court itself also obtains a lot of profits.

"This is a real good plan." Zeng Gongliang said.

Some big shots looked at Wang Ju, believing that the little emperor would not be able to see him when he stayed in the palace.

So who came up with this strategy?

No wonder the little emperor said that this person would not only not harm the people, but also would not mislead me.
