Chapter 865: A big article
Qin Feng refused to comment, "The chief minister, the order of a county is a people-friendly official. Such a baby official is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public and even more difficult to deal with those complicated and complex relationships. Although I joined the army at the age of sixteen, it is the army, and the relationship is relatively simple. In the army, it makes sense that a bigger fist is. If you can lead everyone to win a few battles, your prestige will naturally rise. But this people-friendly official?"
"Your Majesty, this is also a helpless move." Quan Yun insisted: "I would rather let these baby officials pay for the mistakes they are likely to make than use the old officials. Growth is a process. Now the first time of the three counties is the easiest to manage. I believe that under the sabernacle of Xueliang, these young officials will be easy to do things. As long as two or three percent of them can do good things, it will be my blessing for the Ming Dynasty. They will be the pillars of the country in the future. Your Majesty, even if there is a mistake in the current situation of these three places, how can they be worse? The old minister and the Ministry of Personnel of Wang discussed it and will keep staring at them and correct them at any time. If they are really not successful, then change people."
Qin Feng spread his hands: "Since you, the Chief Minister, and Mr. Wang have such confidence in the students from the Capital University, I will not say anything more. I hope they can do this job well."
"Your Majesty, the students of the Capital University do not just study hard in the school. During the year, half of the time spent outside and reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Old ministers and Wang Literature have experience in this regard. Just reading can't read a capable official." Quan Yun said with a smile.
"I agree with this. Then do it like this!" Qin Feng picked up his pen and signed his name on the memorial with dragons and phoenixes: "Tingfa!"
"Thank you for your trust." Quan Yun stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
As soon as Quan Yun left, Qin Feng just stretched his waist and drank a few sips of water, and then he ushered in the second wave. The Minister of War Huo Guang and the commander of Panshi Camp, Xiaomao Zhang Xiaozheng.
Huo Guang smiled happily. Qin Feng had already met him in advance. He had been the position of Minister of War for two years and could finally be removed. For him, this official position was not glory or power, but a burden.
"Brother Huo, look at your joyful appearance. Do you want to treat me to a few drinks?" Qin Feng quipped with a smile.
"No problem. When I return to Yuejing City, I will ask you to be free for three days, but your Majesty, do you dare to go?" Huo Guang laughed.
"Then let it go!" Qin Feng snorted: "Xi'er is sulking in the capital now and is unhappy. Quan Yun went to see him before leaving, but he didn't let someone enter the door. I was about to avoid the limelight outside and go back, so as not to go back and hit her up and deal with me."
"Who would have thought that His Majesty, the Emperor of our wise Holy Martial Arts, was actually a person who often fell on the grape shelf in the backyard. Will anyone believe it if you say it?" Huo Guang looked at the kitten with a big smile.
The kitten smiled and said nothing, sitting there properly.
Seeing the kitten's appearance, Qin Feng sighed in his heart. As he sat in this seat longer, the distance between him and his brothers seemed to be getting farther and farther away. The first horse monkey that Qin Feng noticed was Qin Feng, then Qin Feng, was locked up for a while after the last time. After coming out, it was like a different person. Now, the only one who was free to call his boss was the only wild dog who was still recovering from the injury in Yuejing City.
"Little cat, Brother Huo must have been angry with you. I am going to let you take over the position of Minister of War. Liu Xingwen is appointed as Minister of War. Do you have any ideas?" Qin Feng asked.
"Your Majesty, no matter where I am, I will do my best to do my best. I am afraid that I will not be able to do my best and will let down Your Majesty's expectations." The kitten bowed.
"The Minister of War is different from other positions. How can I feel at ease when I hand it over to others? This position is in charge of all the generals and schools in the Ming Dynasty, the training of soldiers, the dispatch of the army, and the distribution of materials. In the past, I needed you to charge in the battle, so I could only let Brother Huo sit in this position, delaying Brother Huo for two years. Now, we have finally come to rest. Only you can take on this burden under my command. As for ability, haha, am I very capable of being this emperor? Sitting in this position, your vision will naturally be different from being a general. Experience is built up by time. As long as you have more experience, you will naturally be able to do this job well." Qin Feng said.
"I still have confidence in the kitten. Unlike me, sitting in this seat, I can only be a clay Buddha. Kitten. Only when you become the Minister of War can you truly let the Ministry of War play his role." Huo Guang patted the kitten on the shoulder and said.
"This matter has been decided. I have written the decree and handed it to Quan Yun, and it will be officially announced soon." Qin Feng waved his hand and decided it completely: "About the issue of military rewards this time, the chief minister said an idea, and he is not going to take out the money."
The kitten frowned, "Your Majesty, this is not possible. The army won a battle and should be rewarded. The officers can use promotions to inspire them, but the soldiers are looking forward to rewarding silver. This is a great motivation for the soldiers to fight bravely. And as far as I know, the court is not short of this money now."
"The reason is this." Qin Feng laughed: "But money is indeed lacking. The Ming Dynasty now needs money everywhere, and no matter how much money is, it is not enough. Brother Huo, look at our kitten, and he is already considering the problem as the Minister of War."
"What charter is the chief minister proposing?" asked the kitten.
"Reward the land!" Qin Feng said: "Convert the reward silver into land, and you can even float a few more to reward meritorious soldiers. And these rewarded lands are in the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan."
The kitten suddenly realized: "Use military families to enrich these three groups of land and speed up the integration of these three places into the Ming Dynasty."
"Look, look, I just got up, and you thought of cause and effect. You are still worried that you are not able to hold this position. I think you are more than enough!" Qin Feng laughed: "That's the truth. Kitten, when we recruit soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, we do not recruit only sons and only Dings. In other words, the soldiers have brothers at home. Giving them land is to let them establish a new family business. I think everyone should be satisfied."
"Land is the foundation of the people. There should be no problem using land to compensate for silver and money." said the kitten.
"But these lands cannot be bought or sold." Qin Feng emphasized.
"It should be so! This is a land of accomplishment. If trade is allowed, the imperial court's original intention of enriching these three counties will inevitably be greatly reduced." said the kitten.
"This is one thing, the second thing is that we need to re-plan our army. Let me talk about a charter first. After you go down, you can think about it carefully and make a detailed charter to submit it to the court for discussion." Qin Feng said.
"Please tell me your Majesty." said the kitten.
"I am going to divide the battle camp into war zones and be commanded by the war zones. In this way, the Ministry of War under your jurisdiction only needs to manage the war zone chiefs, so that more energy can be spent on the construction of the army and the reserve of reserve forces. The Wuling War Zone is set up, with the headquarters in Zhaoguan, and Wuling is the general, governing the rocks, cheetahs, floods, tigers, shook mountains, Fuyuan, and the newly established cavalry battalions. The Wuling War Zone is mainly aimed at Qi State."
"The Kaiping War Zone was established, with the headquarters in Kaiping County, with Chen Zhihua as the general, governing Baoqing, giant trees, Zhuifeng and thick soil after reconstruction. This war zone was mainly targeted at the Qin State."
"The Central War Zone is established, with the headquarters in Zhengyang County, with Wild Gou as the general, governing Canglang, Ruijin, and miners. I am planning to build another cavalry battalion within the Central War Zone."
"The guards in Yuejing City are set up, with Mahou as the general, and they are in charge of the Fire Death Camp and the Yuejing City Gate Army. Of course, the Yuejing City Gate Army will be reorganized. I don't want them to be just a guardian. I need them to become the army that is the best in the entire army like the Fire Death Camp."
"Your Majesty, where is the Pili Camp? You seem to have forgotten them?"
"Don't forget." Qin Feng smiled and said, "They are just as special existences, directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the Pili Camp first gives them ten thousand people."
"This is the scale of the two standard battle camps." said the kitten.
"Now I don't want to stimulate the Chu people." Qin Feng said with a smile.
The kitten nodded.
"In addition, the county soldiers across the country need to undergo a thorough rectification this time, and excellent supplements will be added to the battle camp, and the rest will be discharged and returned to the fields and converted into reserves. They can bring weapons other than crossbows and send certain subsidies every year. When they return to the village, they can act as sheriffs and take on the obligation to train militias. In peace, they can be farmers, merchants, landlords, and fishermen. When the country needs them to fight, I hope they can reorganize the army by picking up weapons. This is a big difficulty and an important task for your Ministry of War next."
"Hide soldiers from the people?" The kitten was a little surprised.
"Yes, hide the soldiers from the people. Not only them, but also those retired soldiers, we allow them to return home with weapons and armor." Qin Feng said. "Now we can't afford a huge army, so we can only adopt such a strategy. Kitten, this is a big article. Once done, we will have an inexhaustible source of troops."
"That's true. In history, all dynasties have always been better at guarding the people than guarding rivers. You want to hide your troops from the people like Your Majesty. But it has never happened. This matter requires careful consideration of every detail and to be foolproof."
"Are you afraid that they will rebel?" Qin Feng smiled: "When we were so strict in the past, the Shuntian Army still rose up and almost destroyed half of the Yue Kingdom. I believe that as long as we let the people have food and life gets better and better, no one will make me rebellious."
