Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"There is no need to worry too much about this matter." Ying Zigao had already planned to promote potatoes, and said seriously: "After all, potatoes are a new food crop, and the people of Daqin are still very unfamiliar with it. If you rashly promote it , It is bound to arouse the incomprehension of the people.”

Hearing this, Yuhuatian and Liu Bowen couldn't help but feel a slight shock in their hearts.

Ying Zigao's words can be said to be mature and prudent, very safe!
It's not like the young and energetic monarch who is eager for quick success and quick success!

A young emperor in his early 20s is so safe and realistic.Being mature and prudent is really a blessing for Great Qin, and also for ministers like them!
After all, no one wants to be an emperor who is very happy and eager for success.

"I have decided to let the troops stationed in the north of Saibei first, to reclaim wasteland and plant potatoes in an all-round way!"

Ying Zigao went on to say: "During the planting process, I carefully summed up my experience and came up with a set of practical planting techniques!

When the potatoes have a bumper harvest and the people all over the world see the great advantages of potatoes, they accept and welcome them, and then promote them according to the trend, in order to achieve good results! "

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yu Huatian hurriedly said loudly!
"Your Majesty's arrangement is really very safe!"

Liu Bowen also said hastily: "In this way, not only have we taken the lead in solving the problems of the garrison in the north of the Great Wall for reclamation and border defense, and food supply, but also shown the benefits of potatoes to the people of the world!

Seeing the high yield of potatoes, the subjects of the world must be scrambling to plant potatoes!At that time, the promotion of potatoes will be smooth, without any obstacles! "

The ministers praised him one after another.

The servant of the household department thought about it carefully, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is that this potato is a new crop, and the soldiers of the garrison in Saibei have never grown it.

It's fall again and there's only three months left to plant.

What if they are not familiar with the characteristics of this potato and the farming time is delayed? "

"You asked a good question."

Ying Zigao nodded, and said seriously: "I've thought about this question too. I arranged for farmers and gardeners to plant two seasons of potatoes.

These farmers and gardeners have mastered the characteristics and planting skills of potatoes, so I plan to send them to Saibei to guide the garrison in planting potatoes! "

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hubu's servant said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, although there are many benefits to the method of reclamation and garrison, I am still a little worried."

The Minister of the Ministry of War also stood up and said seriously.

"Just say what you have to say." Ying Zigao nodded.

"Your Majesty, the garrison in the northern part of the Great Qin Dynasty is the regular army of Daqin, and its main task is to garrison the frontier fortress and defend against foreign enemies!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War said cautiously: "Letting them cultivate and guard the border and farm in their spare time will inevitably distract the soldiers and affect their daily training.

The minister is worried that over time, the soldiers will lose their combat skills, their morale will be slack, and their combat power will decline! "

"Yes, Your Majesty, the purpose of the garrison in the northern part of the Great Wall is to defend the Xiongnu and the enemies in the northern border. Deter the enemy and protect the front line of the Great Wall and the peace of the north!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War also hurriedly said: "Drilling and fighting is their main task.

Once they get used to farming, I am really worried that they will be unfamiliar with the battle formation, their military discipline will be abolished, and their combat power will drop significantly! "

hear this.Ying Zigao couldn't help but secretly nodded.

This is the most likely disadvantage of military settlements.

If we do not try to prevent it in time, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army.

The Weisuo Army in the Ming Dynasty is an obvious example!
But this is not inevitable.

"The two lovers are right." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "The Northern Garrison is a regular army of the imperial court. Of course, the main task is to defend the frontier and deter the enemy! Drill and fight, we must not relax!"

Hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of War obviously felt that it was not realistic.

You have to farm, you have to practice, and you have to be alert to the enemy's movements at any time, and maintain a deterrent to the enemy in the north!

How can these two things be balanced?
"I know you are worried. It is difficult to balance the two things of farming and border guarding."

Ying Zigao saw the worries of the ministers, and said confidently: "I have plans for this too!"

"How does His Majesty arrange?" the Minister of War asked hurriedly.

"I plan to draw the most elite 15 troops out of the [-] garrisons as mobile forces!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "That is to say, for each thousand-man team, the most elite soldiers are selected to form three hundred-man teams, called mobile battalions, which do not usually participate in farming.

As the mobile force of the reclamation army, always be vigilant! "

While speaking, Ying Zigao glanced at the officials of the Ministry of War again, and then said: "Other garrison troops must also ensure more than 10 days of drills every month!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Minister of War said hurriedly and seriously!
"Your Majesty, although this arrangement is thoughtful, I feel that it will still affect the morale of officers and soldiers outside the mobile battalion!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War thought about it carefully, and said with some concern: "After all, everyone is stationed in the army, all for the purpose of defending the frontier. practice.

It will inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate, and the morale of the army will fluctuate! "

"Your worry is justified." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "I have thought about this issue carefully."

"Your Majesty already has an arrangement?" The Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't help being taken aback and asked hastily.

"I feel that a selection and elimination system can be implemented for the officers and soldiers of the mobile battalion!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly said: "All the troops stationed in the village will hold a big drill every three months, a big competition.

Anyone who ranks in the top 1/3 of the martial arts performance will be able to enter the mobile battalion!
Those whose scores are less than 1/3, even if they enter the mobile battalion, must be eliminated!Similarly, soldiers who are not in the mobile battalion can also enter the mobile battalion as long as they rank in the top 1/3 of their drill performance! "

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, in this way, the soldiers stationed in the army will definitely work harder and practice more consciously, and will never be lazy again!"

Seeing that Ying Zigao has considered every issue of reclamation and garrisoning the border, all possible problems have been properly arranged and dealt with.

The ministers couldn't help but feel relieved.Yuhuatian and Liu Bowen admired Ying Zigao even more.

"Your Majesty, I have one last small question!"

At this moment, Liu Bowen stood up.Seriously.

"Liu Aiqing, just say what you have to say." Ying Zigao said with a slight smile.

"Wei Chen just wants to know the taste of this potato, how is it?"

Liu Bowen hurriedly said, "Is it delicious?"
