Chapter 18 The Goblin of Cockroach Life

The next day, before the hour of Mao came, the ministers gathered in high spirits in Taiji Hall. Qin Shou still entered the hall on time as usual. This time, Qin Shou grabbed the military ministers by Li Jing and the others. Qin Shou, who looked depressed, saw the Fairy Cheng at first sight. This guy was resilient and Qin Shou was reluctant to take advantage of it. He was simply super strong, and he had no choice but to say about his ability to regenerate!

The emperor has not been in court for a long time, and the ministers have speculated that Boss Li, who has always been in court, is also late? This is the first priority for the first time! You should know that Boss Li hates the most in the evening court. Think about how much salary was deducted when the Fairy Cheng arrived late? Moreover, Boss Li has always advocated the morning court, and there are few cases of lateness. Now it is really strange that he is late.

"Fairy, hey, fairy, what are you talking about? You're like a kid, why are you fighting? What's going on? You're still sleeping early in the morning? You're going to be a thief at night?" Yuchi Jingde couldn't help but kick Cheng's fairy who was carrying his bench with his hands on his chin and supported his sheep. This guy was a little weird when he was abnormal.

At this moment, the fairy Cheng was wrapped in a suspender. Although the internal injuries were healed, the injuries of muscles and bones did not recover so quickly. If Qin Shou had not been sent to treat him, the fairy Cheng would probably still roll on the bed and was crazy. Cheng Fairy, who had suffered from Qin Shou's favor, not only did she not appreciate it, but she also put on a stinking airs.

"Go away, don't bother me, I'm annoyed! Come and light the fire!" Seeing Qin Shou's anger, Cheng Yaojing took up the bamboo cigarette and fixed his feet. He pointed at a third-rank military officer with his uninjured hand and instructed him to come over and light the fire. Didn't Qin Shou quit smoking? I'll try to kill you!

"Martial Madam!" Qin Shou despised the little brat-like personality of Cheng Yaoxian and muttered contemptuously, causing Li Jing on the side to shake his head and Li Ji's stiff face that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. The battle between Qin Shou and Cheng Yaoxian is well known to everyone in Chang'an! It's really a pair of uncouple creditors who are incompatible with their father-in-law and son-in-law!

Cheng Yaojing was so disrespectful that Yuchi Jingde blushed. His face was as if he had returned from a vacation in South America, and his beard was full of stubbornness, there was no trace of his blushing. Cheng Yaojing released poisonous smoke and directly left a large position. Yuchi Jingde moved to Li Jing with tactfulness.

Yuchi Jingde felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong today, as if something important happened. Li Jing looked sad and looked confused. Yuchi Jingde was the most informed person, but he actually showed such an expression. I'm afraid that the morning court today would be very mysterious!

"Brother Fang. What's going on with the emperor today? Why haven't you seen the emperor attend court for a long time?" Wei Zheng, who looked puzzled, couldn't understand what Boss Li was going on today. After all, he asked Fang Xuanling next door for more questions. Instead of doing it boring, he would rather whisper and pass the time.

"God knows? Brother Wei, did you go to the nightclub bar of your nephew's nightclub yesterday for a drink?" Fang Xuanling shrugged with an expression that I didn't know, and finally showed a gossipy look. He asked Wei Zheng in a low voice about what happened yesterday, and how could Fang Xuanling not know about Qin Shou's nightclub being smashed by the Tang Women's Association?

"No, no, Brother Fang, what do you mean? Look at Wei's shabby appearance, how can you get free money to have a drink?" Wei Zheng was under Fang Xuanling's gossiping gaze. He blushed and refused to admit it. Yesterday, the Tang Women's Association broke the scene. Wei Zheng was the first to hide in the women's bathroom. How could such a shameful thing be rumored to be out of the way?

During the evening court, the ministers each guessed the reason. Boss Li has never been so outrageous as it was today. Li Jing, who knew the reason, has always maintained a silent attitude, while Qin Shou had an indifferent attitude, and his contemptuous eyes have never left the big chimney of the fairy.

"The emperor is here..." Xue Gao's sharp voice sounded for a moment, and the discussion in the hall stopped abruptly. Only Cheng Yaojing was still doing what he wanted to smoke alone, intending to cause trouble for Qin Shou, but he had no idea what to say. This was a very depressing thing. At least Cheng Yaojing was full of anger now.

Boss Li came late with a gloomy face. He looked at the ministers' kneeling ceremony thousands of times with expressionless expression. When he saw the Fairy Cheng appear in the court again, Boss Li suddenly glared at him. Every time this old gangster appeared, there would be no good things, especially when he went to court with injuries, he could not kill a cockroach.

"All my dear ministers, if you have a memorial, you will leave the court without memorial!" Boss Li still repeated the topic in a row. Boss Li's strange behavior made the ministers wonder. He wondered whether he would report national affairs one by one. The court affairs of the verbal war started again. The disagreement between civil and military factions is an unchanging law.

"Emperor, the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River has been raining for days, and the crops of people..." A civil official reported the disaster in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible. The spring rains continued to flood the crops, and many houses destroyed animals and suffered heavy losses. The local governments asked the court for maximum support for several days, trying to alleviate the losses of the flood.

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that it is not enough to mobilize local government soldiers to rescue disasters. Now many local government soldiers are neglecting farming, which is really not the case..." Confucius immediately stood up and suggested that the government soldiers be dispatched. Now the government soldiers are gradually reducing farming, and it is not necessary to transform into military training. This is completely contrary to the integration of military training and labor in the Tang Dynasty.

The first fairy Cheng was the one who was dissatisfied and retorted: "What? Old hooligan, I'm in my ears, old guy, it's fine if you poison people all day long, but you're looking for trouble and making a big fuss about the military soldiers? Why don't you scholars go to rescue disasters? Aren't you scholars nonsense all day long? Why do you military men have to work hard, but you scholars..."

"Is the fairy considered taking the so-called gunpowder of my nephew? Why is he so irritable? He started to make trouble again!" Li Ji calmly approached Li Jing and said the topic that Qin Shou was speechless. Through these understandings, Qin Shou learned that every court meeting, the ones who had always had the most intense quarrel were Cheng Fen and Confucius.

"Brother Fang, what do you think?" Wei Zheng stroked his long beard with one hand and subconsciously came to Fang Xuanling's side. Cheng Yaojing aimed at Master Kong's firepower. His intention was suspicious! Logically speaking, what Master Kong's proposed did not affect the interests of Master Cheng's morale. As for how hard he jumped out to make profits for the military soldiers?

"Watch the change, the old hooligan probably is wrong. Don't forget his glorious title. Three good generals, there is no need to join in the fun!" The experienced Fang Xuanling saw through Cheng Yaojing's little thoughts at first sight. He must have encountered some upset things. He wanted to take advantage of the issue and make fun of him. Poor Confucius became the target of Cheng Yaojing's fire relief.

"Hmph~ Old hooligan. You, you, you are looking for trouble. Why are literati comparable to martial artists? "Why is the master of the martial artists so angry that they glared at the swear words when Cheng Feixian started to make things difficult. Literary people are well-known for their weak culture. Martial artists have a good brute force and do some unnecessary training all day long to waste physical strength. It is better to use their strength to farm?

"Bah, what about the literati? The literati are not in charge of labor? They are sitting all day long and shaking their heads and muttering? What am I?" Confucius was so angry that he rolled his eyes when the Cheng Yaojing was full of eloquence. Cheng Yaojing was even more amazing. He was tricky and vicious as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the martial officials cheer up. Cheng Yaojing was really the number one evil star in the civil officials.

Boss Li sat in the dragon seat without saying a word to stop him. Confucius' pedantic and orderly thoughts really made Boss Li feel a little displeased. Since ancient times, the military was the foundation of governing the country and protecting the country. The military system of the government seriously damaged the strong hope of the Tang Dynasty's elite soldiers and strengthening the country. The elite soldiers system advocated by Qin Shou was the ideal purpose in Li's heart.

"Well~ Please don't be impatient, please don't worry. This matter is long-term. Everyone, the flood. What do you think?" Boss Li coughed and stopped the quarrel between Cheng Yaojing and Confucius. The two happy enemies were together, so there would be no good things. They either quarrel or quarrel. If you hear too much, you will be annoyed.

"Qin Aiqing, what do you think?" Qin Shou suddenly staggered out, and Boss Li felt the headache immediately relieved. Qin Shou seemed lazy, but this guy was very quick and intelligent and had good ideas, and often thought about something unexpected. Boss Li temporarily put aside his unhappiness and looked forward to Qin Shou's good ideas to solve the flood situation.

Qin Shou grinned in depression, cursing that Li Jing was too dark, and it was always no good to be with him. He always made a fuss about himself. Facing the eyes of Confucius and the Fairy Cheng, Qin Shou expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty, I believe that what Lord Kong said is reasonable!"

As soon as Qin Shou said this, it immediately caused a sudden noise from the martial officials. Qin Shou was a typical example of eating a bowl of rice and fighting against the bottom of the bowl. Even Li Jing, who kicked Qin Shou out to stop the dispute, could not help but be shocked. Did this guy take the wrong medicine today? How did he turn the spearhead to help civil officials fight against military officials?

Qin Shou's words made Boss Li shocked, and he widened his eyes and opened his mouth with a speechless expression. Didn't Qin Shou advocate the elite military system? Why did he turn around and speak for the civil officials? The civil officials looked at Qin Shou with a different look. His performance today was really beyond the imagination of the civil officials.

"What? Is this human word?" Cheng Fei Jing was the first to be angry and furious. If it weren't for his injury yet, he might have rushed to Qin Shou and pulled Qin Shou to threaten him. Is this guy's mind watered? Or is it a stubborn block?

"Old hooligan, this is called "people who have different opinions". Don't use this kind of intimidation to scare people. Lord Qin, just say something, I will support you!" Confucius almost smiled and said it. He was always at a disadvantage in bickering with the Fairy Cheng. Now someone finally has stepped forward to support himself. Confucius in turn supported Qin Shou to help him say good things.

"Report to the emperor, the reason why I say this is purposeful, and it does not mean that I support anyone who opposes who!" Qin Shou ignored the glare of Cheng Yaoxian and the praise of Confucius, and directly spoke out the topic that had been planned for a long time. Now, with the help of floods, it is possible to improve the current military system of the Tang Dynasty.

"Well, Qin Aiqing, come on quickly, I'm curious!" Qin Shou's words made Boss Li curious. He didn't know what Qin Shou had. Not only Boss Li did, but even the civil and military ministers also pricked up their ears and listened to what Qin Shou said later. This guy often broke the ethics.

Qin Shou unexpectedly summarized his own views and said: "Emperor, I have combined several key points about the military service in the palace. The characteristics of the military service system can be simply summarized as: for the people in daily life and for soldiers in wartime; if the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the military service, and the household registration of the military service is controlled by the military service, which is very messy..."

"Yeah!" Boss Li nodded when he heard this. The government military system was in a state of shaking after Boss Li witnessed Qin Shou's elite military system. Boss Li was obvious to all. He was neat and orderly and endured hard work. In layman's terms, it was training with a rhythm of death.

As soon as Qin Shou finished speaking, the civil officials remained silent, while the military officials were on the same basis. The government military system did have flaws. Qin Shou said that the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know that the soldiers hit the hearts of the military officials. Except for their personal guards, most of the government soldiers in the military camp did not recognize them, and they often mixed up the order.

Qin Shou spoke again when the ministers were silent, "That's right, the government soldiers have their own bows, arrows, and food that they have prepared are not in accordance with the rules. It is chaotic to not be supplied by the court. It is difficult to plan and maintain food. Except for the consumption of the road, it is difficult to manage and consume the rest during the war, resulting in uneven strengths..."

Qin Shou's words once again revealed the shortcomings of the government soldiers. When the government soldiers were invading, except for the heavy weapons and war horses supplied by the court, they all raised the rest by themselves, which was a bit illogical. The government soldiers themselves mainly brought seven things and food with them, and the seven things should be followed, such as patrols, supplies, bows and arrows, saddles and bridles, and weapons.

The level of people's livelihood is not unified, and they have to equip themselves with supplies during wars. Those who serve in the army have no spare money. Except for farmers who earn some food and poor spare money in their spare time, most of the rest are consumed daily. The damage to the equipment cannot be repaired in time, and there will be collapses or accidents in wartime, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The most basic saddle bridle is the saddle. When the war begins, the rope suddenly aging or the saddle kicks, and it is easy to fall off the horse without a center of gravity. As for the rest, there is no need to say anything else. You have to bring so many things to your own when you go to war. After a long time, you will definitely complain and complain. Is this country managed by them?

"Hmph~ Who can't know the great truth? I dare to ask what this matter has to do with floods?" Cheng Yaojing snorted coldly. So what if Qin Shou said it reasonably? Cheng Yaojing, who was unhappy, was determined to make trouble to the end, and was determined to find Qin Shou's fault. The more conspicuous Qin Shou was, the more disliked Cheng Yaojing was. Who told me that this girl always went against him?

"It doesn't matter if it's half a cent!" Qin Shou's blunt words almost made Cheng Yaojing take it as if it was so indifferent. Cheng Yaojing had a crazy impulse, and he didn't matter if it's half a cent. He also had a lot of arguments. What's the intention? Not only Cheng Yaojing, but even the ministers couldn't help laughing. Qin Shou was so amazing to fight the Yaojing!

"Old handsome guy, what plan does the nephew have? Can you tell me one or two of them?" Li Ji was confused at this moment. Qin Shou had been talking nonsense for a long time. Li Ji was confused by Qin Shou. He had not figured out what Qin Shou wanted to say yet, so he had to look at Li Jing who was calm and composed.

"That's right, old handsome guy, don't keep it in a silence. Tell me if you know it. Is this virtuous nephew really going to die if he doesn't swear to the taste?" Yuchi Jingde couldn't figure it out, so he had to look at Li Jing in a unified way. Only the scheming Li Jing knew the best, and was one of the people who could understand Qin Shou's thoughts best.

Li Jing stroked his beard with one hand, looked at Boss Li's thoughtful expression, and then Qin Shou's calm attitude. When Li Ji and Yuchi Jingde were impatient, he spoke: "Calm, alas~ OK, if the guess is correct, the nephew is going to make new tricks again. As for this new trick, it is probably a military camp change that is conducive to our waiting time! Look!"

"What's wrong with Qin Aiqing, but it's okay to say it. There is no need to be so roundabout. What do I have to hear? "Boss Li seemed to guess what Qin Shou wanted to say? For a moment, he was embarrassed and embarrassed. He simply said nonsense that he was dissatisfied with Qin Shou's argument. Is it okay to say anything? As for such nonsense for a long time?

Qin Shou, who was unhappy with Boss Li, said bluntly and boldly: "The emperor, in the humble opinion, abolish the existing government and military system, establish a military region to produce enough self-produce and supply more grain, pay more grain and pay less grain. At the end of the year, the advantages and disadvantages of the production military region will be evaluated, and rewards and punishments will be used to complement each other, and the military capital will be rewarded and punished, and the military capital will be rewarded and paid..."

Qin Shou expressed his thoughts in one breath, established a military region to enclose land and cultivate and train on his own, sold or handed over the materials harvested from labor to the court, formed an integrated system of merchants and military, increased grain and increased taxes, especially the idea of ​​uniformly building military registrations in order to achieve unified management, which won the nod of the ministers.

The idea of ​​a military region introduced by Qin Shou is very simple. A military region divides key elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers. Key elite soldiers are exempt from farming and conducts various trainings all year round to ensure the usefulness of training soldiers for a thousand days. In addition to normal training, ordinary soldiers use vegetable cultivation and breeding to generate income in their spare time, etc.

"Well~ What are the objections to Qin Aiqing's proposal?" Boss Li nodded after hearing Qin Shou's words. Although the Qin Shou military region's ideas are somewhat different from the system of the military, the Qin Shou military region's ideas are more realistic. They are both good at training and farming, and are good at training and general soldiers, which are good at farming, complementary and mutually beneficial and convenient for unified management.

"I have no objection!" "Hmph~~" The military officials expressed no objection at the first time. This was a favorable idea. The Fairy Cheng directly raised her head and pretended to be disdainful. In fact, she tacitly agreed to Qin Shou's idea in her heart. It was much better than the military region's idea of ​​the military region, and it would be even more pleasant if she could grow tobacco.

Confucius stood up on behalf of the silent civil officials at the first time and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the idea and original intention of Lord Qin are good about restructuring the military forces in the government. The old minister has no objection, but the old minister dared to ask Lord Qin about how to resolve this matter?"

"Mr. Kong, as the saying goes, "Far water cannot save the near fire. Instead of scheduling troops everywhere to provide disaster relief, waste manpower, why not mobilize the local government and the people to provide disaster relief on their own? The court can only issue food and grass relief, without much effort. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable, but people have not cut off their hands and feet, right? The minister dares to dare to ask, what food does the local government do? He only knows how to report the memorials, but does not know how to solve the problem? It's better not to have such an official!"

Qin Shou's words suddenly blocked Confucius' words, and at the same time almost won the praises of the military officials. In the past, whenever there was a drought and flood, the most unlucky thing was to ask for disaster relief. The most hateful thing was the local government. The court did not send people to do anything practical, so they knew to follow the horses behind the butt to flatter them.

Qin Shou, as Confucius retreated speechlessly, continued to instigate his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, such a major matter cannot be neglected. In the opinion of a humble minister, bad habits will be difficult to change. Now, I am afraid that only people with bad habits will be sent to kill chickens to warn monkeys. This person must dare to offend people and have the incarnation of cockroaches!"
