The world of bad people is invincible

Chapter 268 It's All Murderous Intent!
In the study room of the other courtyard where Li Keyong lives, there are some things that Li Keyong uses daily, and beside the case, there are some classics and books.

In addition, there is also a scroll of the official position system of the Jin State, a list of important civil and military officials of the Jin State.

... Li Keyong has been very busy recently, so busy that he is exhausted every day.

Although he had been in the officialdom for a few years during Zhaozong's period, and had seen many prime ministers and senior officials in Tang Dynasty's political methods, he actually lacked a deep understanding of the culture and thinking of this era, and his political methods were not very clever.

Although Li Keyong is old and knowledgeable, he was only a general after all before he made his fortune.

Although he is proficient in war, he has not had much experience with the way of being a king and governing; but now that he is very close to the emperor (the world is divided into three parts, Jin has already won one), he always feels that he must learn how to be the leader of the world. Lord, I always feel that we should really understand the idea of ​​being a king.

In Li Keyong's thinking, even if he is busy with state affairs every day, he should spare time to read books, but in fact it does not seem to be the case.

Today's Jin State has millions of square kilometers of land, and there are too many things to deal with. If you don't pay attention, your mood will become very irritable and your body will feel tired.Therefore, Li Ke has not opened the classics next to the copybook more than three times.

And just when Li Keyong was worried, Li Cunxu came to the door of the study.

"My son pays homage to his father."

"Come in."

Li Keyong soon saw Li Cunxu's figure.

Currently, Li Keyong is quite satisfied with his son.Li Cunxu can already help him share his worries.

"Zhu Youwen wants to borrow troops!" Li Cunxu went straight in, very straightforward.

"Borrowing soldiers?" Li Keyong raised his head immediately, "What kind of soldiers are you borrowing?"

"Zhu Youwen is not borrowing soldiers from our Jin Kingdom, but needs some men for him to send... He wants to find the treasure of Longquan!"

After Li Keyong heard it, he didn't say whether he would lend it to Zhu Youwen, but lowered his head and pondered: "Is it the treasure of Longquan..."

After a long while, Li Keyong raised his head slowly, and said to Li Cunxu, "Xu'er, tell me, what is there in this Longquan treasure?"

After Li Cunxu heard Li Ke's words, he was obviously surprised.He seemed to have never heard Li Keyong mention the Longquan treasure.

Li Cunxu thought for a while, and then said: "Father, according to my son, this Longquan treasure is full of murderous intentions!"

"Oh?" Li Keyong immediately became interested when he heard this.

Li Cunxu continued to say: "No matter what is in the Longquan treasure, it is dangerous."

"For those who are hungry, the treasure of Longquan is food that can fill their stomachs; for those who are greedy for money, the treasure of Longquan is endless treasure; and for those who are ambitious, the treasure of Longquan is the supreme power... "

"Before that, there were three powerful countries in the world, but among these three countries, the one who least wanted to obtain the Longquan treasure, and was even indifferent to the Longquan treasure, was Zhu Wen of the Liang country!"

Hearing this, Li Keyong already knew what Li Cunxu was going to say, so he chuckled: "Because he is already the emperor!"

Li Cunxu immediately cupped his fists and said, "Father Wang Mingjian!"

"You see it quite clearly!" Li Keyong glanced at him, and said lightly, "This Longquan treasure is actually just a shortcut for ambitious people to become kings."

Li Keyong slowly left the copybook, drove the wheelchair, and came to Li Cunxu's side.

"Even if the Longquan treasure has innumerable wealth, it is useless to my country of Jin."

As he said that, Li Keyong waved his hand slightly, and the report on the copybook flew into his hand immediately.

He handed the memorial to Li Cunxu.

"These are the reports sent by the officials about the famine in various places, the displacement of the people, the rampant banditry, and the rebellion in various places... Longquan treasures can't produce food!"

Li Cunxu roughly flipped through it, and already understood the current problems of Jin.

"Father is saying that our main problem now is - lack of food?"

Li Keyong nodded: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a day when there is no war... Whenever the flames of war ignite, it is the peasants who suffer the most. Because the peasants do not live within the state capital, they are the most vulnerable to looting. Farmers If you suffer, the crops will not grow well, and there will be no food."

When Li Cunxu heard this, he immediately cupped his fists and said, "Father, my son has some advice."

"Say."

"Disarm and return to the field!"

"Disarmed and returned to the fields?"

"Yes."

Li Cunxu recalled the chat with Guo Chongtao a long time ago, and said slowly: "

Although we have regained many feudal towns and gained many surrendered soldiers, not all of these descended soldiers are usable soldiers. Most of them are strong men who were forcibly drawn by the princes of the feudal towns to serve as cannon fodder. "

"Just like the current Jin army, the more than [-] elite soldiers are elite soldiers who have been trained in melee for decades, and they are naturally capable of fighting; , most of them have no combat effectiveness.

In other words, after the Jin State annexed the feudal vassals, although the population increased several times, the force did not increase substantially.Because there are many soldiers who are fake and have no fighting power!

Therefore, I feel that we can appropriately disarm the army, and let the army formed by the young men who have been brought in be disarmed and returned to the fields to continue farming. "

When Li Ke heard this, he thought for a while.He has never thought about this problem, but this kind of thing has always been easier said than done.

"It's simple to say, but there are many obstacles in its implementation!" Li Ke said with emotion: "Many surrendered soldiers have gone through many wars, and they can be regarded as half of the elite soldiers. If you have a majority, what should you do?"

Li Cunxu thought for a while, and said: "I have a subordinate named Guo Chongtao, and he once mentioned this kind of thing to my son.

For such semi-elite soldiers, disarmament can also be carried out, but it is not necessary for them to be disarmed and return to the field.

They can still be recorded and exempt from corvee, but they are not a standing army.

For this kind of soldiers, they can usually be called up to train troops, and the food and clothing are paid for by the barracks. After the training, some food and cloth will be distributed to take home; Land, work when you need to work...

And when it's time to fight, you can use military orders to announce and dispatch.Settlement allowances, pensions, and rewards for military merit are all exactly the same as formal soldiers of the Jin Army.It's just that there is no military pay..."

After Li Keyong listened to Li Cunxu's narration, he quickly confirmed the feasibility of this disarmament plan.
