Thanks to book friends: "lin Jiangxian" for his thousands of rewards!

I was inexplicably happy to see the old book friend Lin Jiangxian who had not appeared for a long time!

...

Zhu Di liked to be decisive in his work, but hesitated repeatedly in the reform of the military system and recruited six ministers to discuss matters in succession.

After a few days of exhausted arguments, everyone is about to start expressing their opinions.

First of all, of course, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

As the person involved, Jin Zhong said readily: "Your Majesty, I think that if the Ming army wants to be strong for a long time, the military households will be a bit out of place. I am just worried about whether I can recruit enough soldiers."

Zhu Di said lightly: "Tick it!"

Zhu Di clearly realized that now resuming to recruit would only collapse the Ming army.

Meng Ying said: "Your Majesty, how to organize martial arts?"

Good guy, as soon as these words came out, everyone realized that the military household reform was actually caused by martial arts.

That one wakes up!

He was deliberately leading everyone to the path of military system reform.

I'm afraid martial arts is just a reason?

In an instant, several people present were so angry that they hated Xuanwu Guard and Zhuque Guard!

If it weren’t for the embarrassment of Xuanwu Wei’s Northern Expedition, how could the rebuilding of martial arts come from?

Zhu Di said: "If the military system cannot be clarified, who will be recruited by martial arts?"

Meng Ying was stabbed and hurriedly apologized.

The emperor is alert to the generals!

Except for Jin Zhong, the other big shots were secretly exchanging opinions with their eyes.

Jian Yi spoke first as the Minister of Personnel, with a very indifferent expression.

"Your Majesty, I think whether it is martial arts or military system, as long as it is good for the Ming Dynasty, I will do it."

Lu Zhen also said: "Your Majesty, I think this is the case. If the Ministry of Revenue can hold on, then it is feasible to reform the military system."

Zhu Di was very dissatisfied with the answers from these panacea oils, so he skipped it and asked Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji seemed confident and said: "Your Majesty, after cleaning up, the number of people in various garrisons in the Ming Dynasty is about 1.5 million. If it is a batch of 50 to 10 years, it will be calculated based on 60% of the year. However, His Royal Highness Grandpa said something, which is to place the retired soldiers on the new land of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Then Zhanji said!"

Zhu Di directly called Zhu Zhanji's general who was listening, while Zhu Gaochi was still smiling and listening.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Huang, the land in the Central Plains has been cultivated for a long time and is no longer the same as before. The best way is to rest and let the land rest. Then the Ming Dynasty has to turn its attention outside and find new arable land for the Ming Dynasty, such as the black soil in Nuergandus. Everyone has eaten the rice there, how do you feel?"

"tasty!"

This was said by Jin Zhong, and he licked his lips: "Then you can eat two bowls of rice without vegetables."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "That's right, the land there is fertile, but the population is lacking. If all the retired soldiers are placed there, for example, if they serve for five years, then they will be exempted from taxes for five years. With the military pay they have saved, it will be a family of food and clothing."

Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Your Highness's words are great and good, and it's a big kill of two birds with one stone. Now it depends on whether the money and food can hold on."

“No big problem.”

Xia Yuanji said confidently: "In the past, I would have been worried, but the potato planting has already spread out, and the annual production is surprising, and I think it is no problem."

"Military pay is all copper coins and treasure money, which have been there before, but it will only be more in the future. Instead, it can promote the expenses of those soldiers and then recover them through taxes. This is a cycle, a cycle that conforms to the way of heaven."

He is probably the only one who can link tax collection with the way of heaven.

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I understand, let's go back and calculate carefully, and report back to me to know."

After the ministers bowed and said goodbye, Zhu Di and his grandson were there.

"What do the prince think?"

The ministers just said it was just a suggestion, and in the end, Zhu Di had to make arbitrary decision. He actually asked Zhu Gaochi, which made Zhu Gaochi a little flattered.

"Father, my son-in-law thinks that the military household system should be cautious and should not be easily shaken."

Zhu Gaochi shut up after he said that, and he rarely expresses his opinion now.

Zhu Di said coldly: "Of course you have to be cautious, but why is the corruption in the ward? Supervision is not good, and you can do it to fill your own pockets! The soldiers are in a miserable way, so don't escape and wait for death?"

Zhu Gaochi was shocked and looked up and said in surprise: "Father, don't you want to move the military system?"

"It's okay to move, it's okay to stay still."

Zhu Di said tiredly: "If I am gone, will you dare to move?"

Zhu Gaochi felt that he didn't dare, so he shook his head.

Zhu Di snorted coldly: "Governing the country is not easy. The way of civil and military affairs should not be neglected. If abolishing the country is in danger, it is not far from the domineering of military people! You have read a lot of books, and the king should not be neglected. If it is neglected, it will be a big disaster. Do you understand?"

Zhu Gaochi bowed and said, "Yes, my son understand."

"You don't understand yet!"

Zhu Di suddenly became angry and stood up and said, "You are dissatisfied with the honor and qi. You like to talk about state affairs and Confucianism with those civil officials, but you are the crown prince! You are not a great scholar, do you understand?!"

Zhu Gaochi understood that Confucianism had long been engraved into his bone marrow and soaked into his blood.

"My son understand."

"What those civil officials like to say the most is that a former emperor could not put down the book, so as to tempt you, a fool who is determined to leave a name in history!"

"My family has its own system. How can you, your grandfather, and I, have you ever obeyed the mercy of literati? If you are still obsessed with it, sooner or later...get out!"

Zhu Di couldn't continue to say it anymore. If you continue to talk about it, it would directly reveal the harmonious face between the emperor and the civil servant. The impact would be too bad if it was reported.

Zhu Zhanji helped Zhu Gaochi and left, and Zhu Di sat dejectedly on the chair.

It is not difficult to train the heirs, especially since this heir is still a fan of Confucianism, he naturally has a good impression of civil servants.

...

In the Ministry of War, Ma Su is packing up his own personal things.

Today will be his last day at the Ministry of War, and then he will go home to rest for three days and report to the Ministry of Revenue immediately.

"Ma Su, are you really not working in the Ministry of War?"

Sun Jun said with regret: "Sir Shangshu said that as long as you stay, you will be given a seventh rank together. This is the same as the students of the Imperial College. And in the hands of the Imperial College, students of the Imperial College will not be able to get real positions. It's a pity for you!"

Chen Jian also said 're sorry': "Hey! If you stay, you may not be able to be the Minister of the Service in the future!"

Ma Su put a few books into the wooden box, then closed the buttons of the wooden box and locked them. Then he smiled and said, "I said that I was just a passerby. People come and go, and they will eventually gather and part. I wish you a smooth career."

What regrets and regrets, Ma Su clearly felt the excitement.

Yes! With Ma Su here, neither of them could stand out, so they were probably the happiest person to Ma Su's departure.

"We'll give you."

Sun Jun and Chen Jian both stood up and said enthusiastically.

In the workplace, if you can keep your composure, don’t tear your face.

The two of them surrounded Ma Su and walked out. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue he met along the way looked at Ma Su silently, but they didn't look like they were about to see him off.

"Ma Su! Xing Hebo bewitched Your Majesty and wanted to change the military system, do you know?"

A man with a stern face stood opposite him, his eyes full of anger.

This is Yuan Qijiang, the head of the Ministry of War, and Ma Su has never dealt with him.

"Mr. Yuan."

Ma Sugong bowed and didn't answer.

Sun Jun was a little stunned, his feet moved slightly, and soon he distanced himself from Ma Su, looking a little regretful.

However, Chen Jian did not move at first, as if he was going to advance and retreat with Ma Su, but after seeing many officials gathered around Yuan Qijiang, he retreated with apologies.
