Chapter 35 Three wonderful strategies!

"Third, soldiers defend their country, that is something they have to do with their lives. They deserve more protection from the country, for example, the principle of soldiers being given priority!"

Xu Tian expressed his opinions in detail.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were stunned by the hearing. The complete military camp promotion system was something they had never thought of before.

Generally speaking, the army will only promote those with excellent performance, but this performance is entirely observed by the generals themselves. The generals are only one, but they are facing an army of ten thousand people, so there are naturally many things that cannot be observed.

In addition to the selfishness of some generals, if a complete promotion system can be formulated, it will be the greatest fairness for the soldiers!

"Son-in-law, how should we do this complete military camp promotion system?"

Li Shimin asked.

"Of course, it allows the soldiers to have the opportunity to be promoted, such as the Sergeant from the Qin Dynasty!"

"If you kill five people, you can become a sharp man, and the military salary of the sharp man is three times that of ordinary soldiers!"

"And our Tang Dynasty should go further. Those who kill five enemies in the army can be promoted to sergeant commanders, and ten people are ten men! One hundred men are centuries!"

"A person who becomes a centurion has a hundred people under his command. At this time, he has the conditions to establish military merits. Those who make meritorious contributions should record clearly, and those who are excellent will be promoted to a thousand-person commanders!"

"Along the way, it is the commander. If you are the commander, you need to understand the words so that you can understand books and learn the art of war! This is to motivate those who have reached the position of a commander to learn words!"

"Once the commander is familiar with military tactics and shows extraordinary ability to lead troops, he can naturally continue to use promotion. With the road to promotion, the soldiers will be more motivated to fight the enemy!"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

hiss!

Hearing Xu Tian’s explanation, Li Shimin couldn’t help but take a breath of air conditioning. This method was simply great!

All the soldiers in the army come from the bottom. They join the army just to make a living. If they still have the chance to make a name for themselves, they will definitely be very active when they kill the enemy!

Moreover, if there is a war, they can survive and become the chief of the tenth lords, and there will be no one who will be afraid to fight again!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin gave Fang Xuanling a big roll of his eyes!

All the civil and military officials in the court were selfish people, and they fought openly and secretly for their own interests. Even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others could not help but fall into such a cliché. Otherwise, how could they not think of such a good plan?

Fang Xuanling also saw the rolling eyes that Li Shimin gave him, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. In order to relieve the embarrassment, he looked at Xu Tian and said, "Son-in-law, what you said would be a bit unrealistic to distribute land or a large amount of settlement fees to soldiers who have retired due to physical disability."

"Oh! Old house, what do you think is unrealistic?"

Xu Tian asked.

"It's very simple. The finances of the court are difficult to support, and I don't have that much land in my Tang Dynasty."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

When Li Shimin, who was standing by, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he was indeed the case. Although the Tang Dynasty was rich, it could not withstand such consumption.

After hearing this, Xu Tian laughed and said, "Old house, your problem seems to be a problem, but in fact it is not a problem."

"My Tang Dynasty is vast, but its population is only tens of millions. As long as our emperor has an imperial edict, we can reclaim wasteland into fields and distribute it to the soldiers."

"As for the settlement fee for the soldiers, it is even simpler. How many soldiers who have retired with disabilities in my Tang Dynasty can have?

How much can I pay for the settlement fee?

Ten taels per person are already a lot!"

"You can even give two taels of silver to settle the house. This is also an attitude of my Tang Dynasty court. When the court becomes rich later, you can increase it."

kindness!

When Li Shimin heard what Xu Tian said, his face was happy. The soldiers in the army paid only one cent per month, and the two taels of settlement were not less than two taels. If they were given ten taels, it would be enough for them to buy some land and live.

There are still many uncultivated lands in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even many places can build cities. If the soldiers are willing, they can give them ten acres or even twenty acres of wasteland.

"Haha! This plan of a virtuous son-in-law is really wonderful!"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

Fang Xuanling poured cold water on the side and said, "The head of the family, the son-in-law's idea is good, but the wasteland cannot be grown. Otherwise, those nobles of the aristocrats would have reclaimed all the wasteland long ago!"

Forehead……

Fang Xuanling said that Li Shimin's laughter came to an abrupt end, and he even felt a little embarrassed.

Wasteland is generally barren land. In fertile land, the yield per mu of wheat can reach about 400 kilograms, while it is difficult to harvest even twenty kilograms of wasteland.

He looked at Xu Tian, ​​and Xu Tian said in a deep voice: "The old house, no matter how good the land is, it needs to be maintained. The wasteland only needs to be cultivated for two or three years before it can become a normal land."

"And if you sprinkle more fertilizer, it will immediately become a fertile land and the crops will be harvested!"

"fertilizer?

Is the son-in-law talking about feces?

This can indeed increase crop yields, but the effect is average, and if you pour too much, it will damage the soil quality."

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.

"Old house reminded me that I know that a kind of fertilizer is hundreds of times better than manure. I will make some in a few days, which will definitely surprise you!"

Xu Tian said in a deep voice.

Only then did he realize that during the Tang Dynasty, he used manure as fertilizer, farm fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, etc., but nothing appeared.

If you can make these fertilizers yourself, wouldn’t you make a big profit!

The old house naturally didn't believe it. Li Shimin also wanted to expose the land matter as soon as possible, so he said, "Son-in-law, what do you mean by saying that soldiers are preferred?"

"Father-in-law, this is better understood. That is, as a soldier in the army, defending his country, he naturally has to give preferential treatment to the greatest extent in some matters!"

"For example, if a disaster occurs in a certain place and the court distributes disaster relief food, the retired soldiers and the families of the soldiers should be given priority!"

"Also, the soldiers are all strong young men, and some have just gotten married and have to stay in the army all year round. They also need to protect their wives and daughters!"

"Whoever bullies the wife and daughter of the soldiers will be killed without mercy! Those who have an affair with the soldiers' wives and destroy the soldiers' families will be killed without mercy!"

"This will relieve the worries of the soldiers, and they will be much more stable in the army!"

"Regularly, give the soldiers a holiday so that they can go home to reunite with their wives and daughters, or they can come to the military camp regularly. The military camp provides them with separate residences so that they can reunite with their husbands!"
