Even this group of private soldiers who have been incorporated into the Agricultural Reclamation Legion are not suitable for staying in the army. These people are neither suitable for being alternate soldiers nor farming.

Think about it, when Qi Jiguang was in the future, he would not use these slim people in the city or clever people in the south to recruit soldiers. He should use honest people in the countryside. Based on this, if you think about the old fried dough sticks who have been incorporated into the land reclamation army by Li You, Chen Xi also had a headache. These people are definitely not good soldiers, and they may even be used as reserve soldiers as scumbags that add advantages to the enemy.

"In our current situation, even if we participate in the war, we don't need a miscellaneous soldier. At least we need elite soldiers with one day's talent. If we are below this level, we will only cause trouble. Our military system is different from the pre-Qin and the pre-Han. Continuing this is neither a conscription nor a recruitment method, and the expenses are too high." After Li You cleaned up his mentality, he continued to send a message to Chen Xi.

When Chen Xi heard this, he fell into thought. It was necessary to expand the scale of troops at other times, but the current situation was completely different from the past. The expansion of troops did have realistic significance, but the scale of dispatch of foreign combat was destined to require the quality of troops.

Large-scale miscellaneous soldiers not only increase the difficulty of logistics, but also increase the cost of pensions. Even Chen Xi knew that the most suitable way to fight foreign countries in the future is actually the local elite and local servants model, and sending miscellaneous soldiers from the local area will not be worth the loss anyway.

After all, as long as it is a soldier and sent to the front line, he will need to be paid for his death in battle. Whether it is a miscellaneous soldier or an elite soldier, he needs to be treated equally.

"So we need to redefine the concept of soldiers, and such practices will further arouse the benefits of soldiers we have formulated before..." Li You said with some thoughts.

"Then it triggers changes in the tax system, and you mean a direct tax system. Not to mention it, but it tends to be soldiers. For example, soldiers are exempt from taxes, and the situation in the wastelands in the south, well, I almost know your overall idea." Chen Xi sighed and said, Li You's approach and Chen Xi's approach were somewhat in conflict.

Chen Xi's approach is actually more inclined to maintain the original farming method in the currently densely populated areas, which only restricts land purchase and sale, and carries out large-scale state-owned farms controlled by the state in newly reclaimed and suitable places.

To be honest, in the case of feudal society, as long as the country can ensure that there is food in its hands, it will not be very worried about the large-scale uprisings that may occur among the people.

Although there are no such things as mechanization that can greatly improve efficiency, compared with the risk resistance of private planting to natural disasters, the large-scale farms built by the state are far more confrontational to natural disasters than the resistance of private individuals to natural disasters.

Well, this aspect is largely due to Chen Xi’s own suspicion of his own abilities, longevity and other aspects. Chen Xi actually has considerable doubts, so sooner or later, Chen Xi will be buried in the soil, so some things need to be dealt with in advance.

In addition, Chen Xi was also a little worried that if his talent continued to struggle, would the next generation of officials still deal with the disaster weather? It would be a precautionary view. No matter what the reality is, Chen Xi will do it right now with the worst plan.

The predecessors planted trees and later took the cool air. Chen Xi planted the trees according to me. If the descendants didn’t do anything else, they would always go to the cool air. They didn’t ask for unnecessary things. It’s always okay to go down according to their own plans. Such a simple thing is countless times easier than letting future generations do pioneering things.

The south is now vast and sparsely populated, and has not been developed. In the future, it is destined to be the grain production area of ​​the entire Han Dynasty. Chen Xi thought that since this is the case, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that there is no one there and extend his hand to put it into a state-owned farm.

Although there are some unpositive things in state-owned venues, the meaning of some state-owned existence is not to make money, but to maintain social stability.

What Chen Xi wants at present is not to make money, but to maintain social stability. Compared with the so-called "Suzhou and Hangzhou are familiar with the world" or "Huguang is mature, the world is mature" in later generations, they are actually meaningless. Compared with the model of tying and miscellaneous taxes, Chen Xi feels that taking advantage of the fact that there are basically no one in Suzhou and Hangzhou and Huguang, they directly draw the area and return it to the country.

At that time, the difference in this area will not be done, and professional farming will be ensured that even if all other places encounter natural disasters, as long as there is output in this place, they can maintain a stable level in the world.

However, according to Li You's previous words, Chen Xi was probably divided into that place and then supported the soldiers by adjusting the tax system.

This method is undoubtedly a very good proposal in his contemporaries, but it is quite different from Chen Xi's idea. I won't say anything else. After being assigned to the people, the management difficulty is much more difficult than the previous state-owned method.

"Wenru, I think you should know my idea about that." Chen Xi said hesitantly. Li You couldn't not know his own thoughts, but if you know his own thoughts and still suggest this, there might be some other reasons.

"Your idea seems unrealistic from the results of my current field research." Li You said with a little sigh, "The idea is good, and it is not bad in terms of effect, but there is a very big problem, that is, who do you use to manage and plant it."

"Agricultural Reclamation Army." Chen Xi spoke calmly.

"How many agricultural reclamation corps are needed in such a large area? If it is mobilized from other places, how to mobilize them is all problems. After all, the people from the agricultural reclamation corps were also drawn from other places." Li Youluo said helplessly.

It is correct to use the Agricultural Reclamation Legion, but how to say it, there is nothing wrong with mobilizing the Agricultural Reclamation Legion from other places to farm. If it can be rotated, there is actually no problem, but the biggest problem now is that there is no change.

If Chen Xi’s plan for Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huguang, then fifty farming corps and a large number of oxen can be built up. The problem is, what about the rotation personnel after fifty farming corps are smashed up?

Although it can be used to recruit soldiers, in reality, Li You is unlikely to accept this conscription model that is not trained but for the purpose of farming. After all, the essential meaning of the conscription system is that the whole people are soldiers, not to gather civilians.
