Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

They found that after Wei Zheng finished reading, his brows were erected, as if he was a little confused and a little surprised.

After reading it, Dai Zhou looked suddenly enlightened, stroking his newly grown long beard, wondering what he was thinking.

Then, the four big brothers passed the report back.

Everyone who saw it had different expressions.

Wei Zheng took a step forward and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, who wrote this plan?"

Li Er smiled and said, "What do the Qing family think?"

Wei Zheng said indifferently: "Except for King Ancai, others may not be so courageous. Once this thing is released, the military will no longer have the possibility of being greedy. I will fully support it!"

Chapter 1494 I See, That Liu Bai Is Simply Crazy

There was a sudden silence in the hall!

Heck!

Wei Zheng was the first to agree to the proposal for the first time!

You know, from now on, no matter who raised the issue, Wei Zheng would definitely be the first to jump out and oppose it!

The old man is such a stubborn temper!

He believes that any policy must be carefully verified before it is implemented.

In his eyes, human nature is evil, and he does not hesitate to consider people in the worst direction.

Before most people had time to read the memorial, they all stared at Wei Zheng in disbelief.

After seeing it, his face was complicated, and he lowered his head in thought.

Of course, these people are civil servants.

No matter how great the military general is, he is not qualified to read the memorial.

Unless, like Changsun Wuji, he changed from a general to a civil servant.

The old men scratched their heads anxiously.

I wanted to move forward and take a closer look, but no one dared to move.

Li Erman said with deep meaning: "Wei Qing won my heart deeply."

Not long after, the memorial spread to the back.

Those who have seen it have not commented.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore, seeing the memorial in Gao Jifu's hands, Lao Cheng grabbed it and muttered, "Our old Cheng also wants to take a look at it!"

Many people thought that Li Er would scold Cheng Yaojin for his recklessness.

Unexpectedly, Li Er said with a smile: "Show all my generals!"

Those who knew the inside story remained silent.

People who didn't know the inside story began to talk about it.

After everyone finished watching, the hall was once again completely silent.

This time Cheng Yaojin didn't speak anymore.

Since the beginning of the dynasty, Li Chengqian stood at the bottom of the steps without saying a word.

He is now in the stage of observing politics. Unless Li Er moves his people, he will basically express any opinion.

Of course, he had already read this memorial.

I don't know why, but today he opened his mouth.

He said to Wei Zheng who was close at hand, "Master Wei, do you think that the strategy of military tickets will do more good than harm?"

Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, Your Highness, the old minister thought that the strategy of military tickets is a long-term strategy. Now that I am outside the front line of the Western Regions, the whole country is peaceful. There is no trace of the mountain bandits and river robbers in the past. Now It is a difficult year, and it is also a place for the people of our dynasty to recuperate!"

People understood what he meant.

Even if you think about it briefly, you know that the military ticket policy not only has no disadvantages, but has great benefits.

The so-called military ticket is mainly a temporary currency issued during the war and circulated within the army.

This thing is good when it is used well, and it is bad when it is used badly.

Just like a knife, if it falls into the hands of the government, it can eliminate violence and make good, but if it falls into the hands of villains, it will kill for money.

Military ticket is not a new term.

When Li Er attacked Yangzhou, he also used this tactic briefly.

The main reason is that the military blade of the former Sui Dynasty was Taifeng, and his father looked down on him, and his brother and younger brother also wanted to kill him, and deliberately reduced the expenditure of the "King of Qin" army.

As a last resort, Li Er could only use this method to borrow food from the local people.

At that time, the military ticket seemed to be the proof of loan.

He has the ambition to take over the world, so naturally he will not renege on his word and lose weight.

It's different with someone else.

If you run into someone like Zhu Jie, military tickets will become a tool to exploit the people.

Of course, Zhu Jie wouldn't do that either, because he didn't bother to exploit the people at all, but directly treated the people as military rations

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Er waved his big hand and said: "My dear friends, you can speak bluntly, I will have a result today!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked directly back to the apse.

The court meeting instantly turned into a court meeting.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian curled his lips.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor cannot participate in court meetings.

As a prince, he had to avoid suspicion even more.

Just in time, Empress Changsun also turned back to the apse, and Li Chengqian followed in twos and threes, helping Empress Changsun to walk towards the apse.

As soon as the three emperors left, the hall exploded instantly!

The most excited one is the man in the gate!

Those who had no friendship with Liu Bai just yelled at him.

Those who are friendly, especially the old men, also have gloomy faces.

They don't understand why Liu Bai came up with such a bad idea!

This military ticket is not that military ticket.

What Liu Bai meant was that the governor of Suzhou created a new type of currency that was specially circulated within the army.

In other words, in the future, instead of paying the soldiers, they will be given military tickets.

With military tickets, they can go to places to exchange for the supplies they want.

For the big guns, there isn't much of a difference.

In the past, most of the salary was paid in copper coins, and a small part was made up with grain.

Now the price of food is outrageously low, and turning it into a military ticket will actually make the big soldiers more affordable.

It's different for generals

The local government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were more rebellious than the next, and Shangfeng would not exploit their military pay, but there was also an element of food and card demand.

This is a reasonable behavior within the rules, even Li Er turned a blind eye.

Datang didn't say that salaries should be used to support honesty. As long as the big soldiers are not wronged, everything else is acceptable.

However, exchanging salaries and salaries for military tickets directly blocked the way for the local army to embezzle and accept bribes!

Those who can go to court are at least generals of the fifth rank or above, and each family has property, so naturally they will not be interested in that little money.

What they are most worried about is that the middle-level generals will be dissatisfied with this!

The middle-level guerrilla generals and lieutenants are the main force of the military.

Of course, the founding generals could rely on their personal prestige to overwhelm the middle-level generals.

It's not easy for young generals

They are all brothers who stir the spoon in the pot, how can they block their money?

"I think that Liu Bai is simply crazy!"

"Jiangnan is a land of prosperity, and the Liu family is the largest landlord in the world. He has had enough to eat and drink, and he doesn't care about the feelings of the people below!"

"Could it be that Liu Bai came up with another way to deceive us!"

""

Qu Tutong had a worried look on his face, he moved closer to Cheng Yaojin, and said: "Liu Bai is going to make everyone angry this time, we will not suffer, but the people below don't think so."

Cheng Yaojin didn't speak.

Zhang Gongjin gritted her teeth, and said: "We are all rough warriors, we can't think of any good way, at worst, we will become officials together!"

Duan Zhixuan shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Where is it so easy? Just wait and see, after retiring from the court, those old brothers of ours will definitely come to the door to ask for an explanation."

Yuchi Jingde stomped his feet vigorously, and said: "Liu Bai is of the same mind with us, why did he want to trick our general this time?"

"Shut your stinky mouth!"

Cheng Yaojin roared angrily.

His official position is not the highest, but in the past few years, his prestige among the old brothers has become higher and higher.

In the past, Yuchi Jingde dared to scold him a few words, but now, after being reprimanded by Cheng Yaojin, he didn't even say a word.

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin regretted it.

He punched Yuchi Jingde in the chest.

Yuchi Jingde shook his head, expressing that he didn't care.

Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips, walked quietly behind Dai Zhou, and said, "Old Dai, give me a solution!"

Chapter 1495 Disadvantages in a moment, benefits in future

Whether the policy of military tickets is good or not depends on how you look at it.

If the policy of military tickets is simply implemented, it is definitely a bad idea that cannot be worse!

People in the upper class feel that the policy of military tickets can prevent the middle-level generals from exploiting the top soldiers, and in this way, the loyalty of the top soldiers can be guaranteed.

Because of the Fubing system implemented by the Tang Dynasty, except for the Xuanjia Army, there are no professional soldiers who are completely out of production.

Fight when there is war, and farm when there is no war.

It can be said that the soldiers of Datang spent most of their time farming.

They need enough resources to sustain themselves.

The Fubing system seems to be a method that can maintain the rule, but in fact, it is also forced to do so.

After the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the population of the Central Plains dropped sharply, and every household had only one or two strong laborers.

All the strong laborers have gone to war, who will farm?

Especially Guanzhong!

A few years ago, when the farming season was busy, I looked around the fields, and I could hardly see a few men, most of them were women!

Not because there are few men, but because almost all men are dying!

Before Yang Jian unified the world, the Central Plains had been fighting for 200 years!

After ascending the throne, he formulated a series of recuperation policies.

Unfortunately, what he established was a short-lived dynasty.

How many people can be reproduced in less than 40 years?

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the so-called 72 princes and the [-] smoke and dust sound majestic. Which of them is not piled up with human life?
