Xiao Miao was happy and sad when he saw his father's pale hair, big bags in his eyes, and the rotten aura with death.

Father, you are not long after your life.

Speaking of which, my father was less than fifty years old and was already in a state of silence.

Because I am greedy for wine and sex, I don’t know how to control myself.

Although my father was promoted to the emperor for less than two years, he was born into a wealthy family and held the power of the White Lotus Sect for many years, and he had actually enjoyed himself for many years. However, the empress became even more powerful and accepted concubines, which led to the arrival of the deadline.

Alas, this is good. Father, please go with dignity. Daliang's heavy burden will be borne by his sons. Even if Daliang is not guaranteed in the end, at least the father will not have to be the king of the destruction of the country.

Xiao Miao withdrew his thoughts and explained to Xiao Yin:

"The craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty are very strict in their management. Even the family members live in a special family courtyard, and there is no way to take advantage of them. Therefore, the sons can only have the idea of ​​firearms and soldiers, and start with the family members first."

"Tang soldiers can visit relatives once a year unless they are wartime. However, you can apply to go home at any time to attend the funeral. Although the Tang army firearms management is strict, after all, there are tens of thousands of firearms and soldiers, and it is impossible to watch everyone."

"The soldier was named Zhang Juxing, a native of Jiangxi. He joined the Tang army last year and became a firearm soldier. His family had divided the fields and was very grateful to Li Luo. It was difficult to start."

"And there is any confidentiality education in the Tang army. It is strictly forbidden to tell their family about the military affairs. But Zhang Zuxing still told his parents that he was a firearm soldier. Although her parents did not dare to say anything, they told a distant relative because of showing off that they wanted to get married."

"It just so happens that this distant relative is from Liang. After he came back, he told his neighbor that his prospective son-in-law was a firearm soldier. Erchen's guard was from this village. He knew that Erchen was very concerned about firearms, so he reported to Erchen after he came back."

"The son-in-law immediately captured the man halfway while he was traveling far away, asked him about the name and address of his relatives in Jiangxi, and told him that if he could ask the family to secretly come and throw them into the marquis, he would be granted a marquis and rewarded tens of millions of mu of land! Tens of tens of taels of silver!"

"He had no choice but to go to his relative's house in Lin'an and convince him. The other party began to disagree, but when he heard that he would be rewarded with a marquis and a lot of rewards, he was immediately moved... When Zhang Zuxing came back from visiting his relatives, he was also moved by his family's persuasion."

When Xiao Yin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "What does the loyalty of the grass people count in the face of wealth? Even a small favor will change. This is why I don't believe in the grass people."

"Father, the emperor is wise." Xiao Miao continued, "Zhang Juxing made up his mind to return to the military camp to prepare secretly. Half a month ago, his father went to the funeral and took the opportunity to bring back a privately hidden ammunition. Then, through the funeral, the family came to Daliang."

"This man has only ten days off for bereavement. Now the Tang Kingdom must have known that this man has defected. In order not to leave a handle for the Tang Kingdom, the son-in-law silenced them all after digging out all the secrets."

Xiao Yin frowned, "I'll kill it so soon?"

"Don't worry, Father," Xiao Miao said with a smile, "Although Zhang Zuxing is a firearm soldier, he doesn't know much. Everything about firearms has been dug up."

Xiao Yin shook his head, and a sharp light shot out of his turbid eyes, "This person is not to be jealous of his death. Throughout history, those who rebel against the Lord because of wealth and honor have no good ending. I, Daliang, may not have rebelled against Liang and surrendered to Tang for wealth and honor. Prince, you must be careful."

Xiao Miao said solemnly: "What the father taught me is that my son must be more careful."

Xiao Yin asked: "Do not let unreliable people know about firearms. You should organize craftsmen to do this now and you must get the result as soon as possible."

The father and son discussed for a long time, and Xiao Miao did not leave until the bedroom changed into several pots of ice.

…………

"Please punish the king and the teacher. Zhang Juxing's defection was mainly due to the negligence of the Special Inspection Bureau."

In the Fuqi Pavilion, Li Zhi, Li Mian, Li Chu and other spy officers from the General Affairs Office knelt down together and requested punishment.

The firearm soldier Zhang Juxing's family defected to Liang State. Although it did not cause much leakage, it was also a considerable loss.

This matter, not to mention the impact, is already very serious.

The active soldiers hid gunpowder privately and went home by attending the funeral, and then the whole family defected. It was not until they returned that the village found out that the abnormal report was reported.

Li Luo's face was rarely ugly.

There were soldiers assigned to the fields and the whole family defected!

What's wrong?

However, he had fire but had nowhere to emit.

Who blames this?

In fact, no one is surprised. If you want to blame, you can only say that everyone has different opinions, and some people just can't resist temptation.

No matter how powerful the intelligence agencies are, they cannot be fully equipped. There are tens of thousands of firearms and soldiers. Can you stare at everyone every day?

Even in later generations, it cannot be done.

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, let alone an inconspicuous soldier.

As long as the firearms and soldiers have the intention, it is not difficult to privately hide a round of ammunition. The management system in later generations is so sound, so there are not many soldiers who have privately brought guns to leave the military camp? As for privately hiding bullets, there are more.

Soldiers go to funerals, not during wartime, who can stop him from going home to attend funerals?

Jiangxi is originally next to Liang State. As soon as he returns home, his whole family can find an excuse to leave the countryside and enter Liang State.

It's hard to defend.

Cui Xiuning sighed, "It's not your fault. We have actually done a good job of keeping the firearm confidentiality. If we even guard the firearms and soldiers, we will not be able to do anything even if we have several times more manpower. I just want to know how you can deal with the aftermath."

Li Cho reported: "Zong Zhou's anti-traitors team is already in action, and Zhang Juxing's family will undoubtedly die."

Li Luo sneered, "Zong Zhou doesn't have to do anything anymore. Zhang Juxing's family should have been silenced by Liang State."

Cui Xiuning nodded, "I guess he has been killed so as not to leave any handle. Liang State dares not offend the Tang Dynasty openly."

Just as he was talking about this, suddenly Li Ling, who was on duty at the Special Inspection Bureau, came in to report: "King, teacher, the latest information about Zhang Zuxing!"

"Read!" Li Luo said a word coldly.

Li Ling said with some anxiety: "Zhang Juxing's family was promised by the Prince of Liang State Xiao Miao to be granted a title of marquis, rewarding 10,000 mu of land and 10,000 taels of silver. He defected under the urge to be profitable. However, after Xiao Miao dug out useful things, he did not fulfill his promise. Five days ago, Zhang Juxing's family was secretly executed by Xiao Miao."

This is the end of the traitor!

Everyone showed contempt on their faces.

"Get up." Trisining said in a cold voice, "This is also a lesson. You can go down and improve the prevention plan and plug more loopholes as much as possible. Such incidents cannot happen again."

"No! Teacher Xie!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and left respectfully.

"It's time to introduce the identity system." Li Luo stood up and said, "Zhang Zuxing's defection is not the responsibility of the intelligence agency or the generals in the military, but the population mobility system is too loose."

If there was the Ming Dynasty's system of leading the way, Zhang Juxing would not have been able to defect to Liang State at all.

Cui Xiuning agreed very much, "That's right. People originally went wherever they wanted, and movement should be free. But now the world has not been unified yet, so it should be strictly controlled. Do you want to introduce the Ming Dynasty's road guide?"

Li Luo thought for a while, "The road induction system cannot be copied, but it still needs to be improved. What are your good ideas?"

Cui Xiuning drew a picture on paper and raised her head, "First of all, the identity proof must be divided into categories. Because officials, military and police, and craftsmen often know some secrets, they cannot be like ordinary people, and they must use special identity proofs."

"Officers use official certificates, military and police certificates, craftsmen and scientists, and literati certificates. These certificates are made of wooden signs the size of ID cards, with numbers and simple personal information."

"Officials, military police, and craftsmen must have certificates issued by the county government at the departure location. Without certificates and documents, you are not allowed to leave the county and stay in hotels in other counties."

"People other than this must use ID cards. Booklets like ID cards and users' mouthbooks will be issued at the age of twelve. These people only need to be issued a certificate by the rural office. Once a person dies, the certificate must be taken back by the rural office as one of the proofs of death and cancellation of the citizenship."

"Any station, checkpoint, inn, private, illegally released or receiving persons without documents or certificates will be dismissed and fined, and serious consequences will be punished."

"If a rural official in a certain place finds a foreigner sleeping in the wild or staying at a home, he must interrogate his origin and check the certificate. If he finds that the certificate certificate is fake or a suspicious report is found, the reporter will be rewarded..."

Cui Xiuning said a lot, which is already the most secure migrant population management system of this era.

This will certainly increase the government's management burden, but it can also prevent crime and rebellion to the greatest extent and improve the harsh public security environment in ancient times.

After listening to it, Li Luo felt that it was feasible, that is, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to create documents and booklets.

"Then let this thing be unified first and the specifications and handed over to each state to handle it. Each state sets up a workshop to make documents. Those who make documents privately are the least likely to be demoted to slaves."

The two quickly decided on this far-reaching major event, and then talked about the Zhang Zuxing case.

"Xiao Yin knew that gunpowder was small particles, and that of the musket, size and flintlock mechanism, but they didn't know the fine processing method and the best ratio, and they didn't know about the technology such as hydraulic forging hammers."

"In a short period of time, they will never be able to create gunpowder with the same power, let alone copy our muskets. Even if they can, the manufacturing efficiency will be very low and the output will be far from keeping up." Li Luo said.

He was indeed very annoyed. But it was not so much because of the leak, but because of betrayal.

So what if Liang Guo knows the secrets of firearms and muskets? So what if he imitates firearms with the same power?

The manufacturing level cannot keep up.

If the Liang Kingdom can build one branch, the Tang Kingdom can build five branch and ten branch.

It still makes no sense after all. This is the first-mover advantage. After several years of development, the Tang Dynasty's firearm manufacturing system has been initially matured and improved.

But Liang Guo just found out how to play?

With the wisdom of the ancients, Li Luo believed that if Liang State was given a few years, Liang State could also imitate the Tang State's firearms in large quantities.

The question is, how could Li Luo give time?

Cui Xiuning smiled and said, "Even if we give the firearms to Xiao Yin, the gunpowder method and disk will be revealed. If they want to equip a firearm brigade, it will take at least one or two years."

She did the firearms. She knew very well how slow it was to produce firearms purely artificially without technical conditions such as hydraulic forging hammers.

"Oh, because there are not enough oxen, I cannot launch a war of unification this year." Li Luo was speechless, "The summer grain is being harvested, how much surplus grain can be?"

Cui Xiuning dug out a booklet, "This year is drought, and the farming efficiency is inefficient due to cattle shortage. It is estimated that there are 40 million to 50 million stones, and there is no more."

Li Luo frowned, "How could it be that fewer? There are seven million farmers, and each household is divided into twenty acres of land on average. Does each household produce only six or seven stones of summer grain?"

Cui Xiuning shook her head, "You were optimistic before. Each household has 200,000 mu, and only half of the area is planted on average. It is not that it has been deeply cultivated and the yield per mu has dropped significantly. Each household can produce six or seven stones of grain, which is a contribution to the overhaul of water conservancy."

Li Luo calculated, "The Tang Dynasty has a population of 38 million, and by October, it will cost more than 50 million stones of food before the autumn grain comes down. That is to say, it's just enough to eat enough? We only have more than 8 million stones of grain tax? If we add Haidong, we will only have 10 million stones."

By the time of autumn grain, millions of non-agricultural population in the Tang Dynasty would have to consume millions of stones of grain. After the farmers paid the tax grain, there was no grain to sell except food. The food for these millions of non-agricultural populations was also expected to be sold by the imperial court.

Cui Xiuning smiled and said, "If we force the people to sell grain and let them eat half full, we can still use military force. But we can't do this. The people's hearts that have finally been established cannot be ruined like this."

"If there is not enough reserves of grain in hand, the war of unification cannot be launched." Li Luo said affirmatively, "The resurgence of the Southern War will definitely affect the production of Liang and Song. What kind of relief should be used to provide refugees? The population in the southern region is estimated to be only 60 million, and there will be no more deaths."
