Chen Xi and his party did not have any great fun on the way to Mount Tai. Liu Bei also asked local soldiers along the way. These local garrison troops generally knew everything about Liu Bei. After all, Yanzhou was pacified early and belonged to Liu Bei.
the basic disk.
Therefore, Liu Bei basically knows the generals here, and even some veterans Liu Bei has some impressions of them. When the two sides get involved, it doesn't take long for Liu Bei to recall a lot of things. After getting along, he can ask questions.
Asked too much.
Of course, some generals complained that they had stayed in the country for too long and their bodies were stiff. Although a peaceful life is good, they still hope that the country will allow them to sign up independently and go to the front line. It has to be said that when there are more people, some people
The pursuit is indeed different from that of ordinary people.
If there are many people like war in Liangzhou, then there are more or less warlike people in other states, but the proportion is not high. But sometimes the male fighting instinct can overwhelm other thoughts, so there are people in Liu Bei
When asking, I hope Liu Bei will open his mouth.
"Want to go to the front line?" Chen Xi scratched his head, "Wouldn't it be better to be in the rear? To be honest, my placement level is very high. In addition to salary, I also built a training venue for them and provided them with some free food every month.
Drinks and snacks.”
The placement positions are very sufficient. After all, Chen Xi was planning to create a new class. After all, the class of the Han Dynasty was indeed unstable. Although it was good to be able to move up and down, it lacked stability overall, so Chen Xi
The original plan was to create a military class.
Therefore, there are not many benefits provided. Retirement pension is one aspect, national resettlement is another aspect, and there are also some strange things.
As for the wine, Chen Xi simply started making wine every time he messed up something. Based on the idea that everything can be brewed, a lot of wine was produced. Selling it was one aspect, and providing it to the local garrison for free was another aspect.
Way.
Anyway, it is a by-product. It is best if you can make money. If you cannot make money, it is also a good way to maintain local stability. In short, you will not lose money.
Theoretically speaking, retired veterans, as long as they are not involved in illegal crimes, can basically live a good life according to Chen Xi's resettlement method. There is no need to pursue anything to go to the front line. No matter what, there will be life safety issues on the front line.
"This is not the problem, it's because our new batch of veterans have returned from the front line." Liu Bei sighed and said, "The military merit system is doomed that real nobles can only appear from the battlefield, and the soldiers who come back alive are basically the same this time.
They have all received fourth- and fifth-level titles. Although this is not a high title, after we abolished the donation of titles, such titles are already very good."
In addition to four hundred acres of land and four residences, the fourth-level title of Military Merit Lord also comes with an annual salary of two hundred stone. To be honest, with this kind of canonization, anyone can live well in any era. To put it bluntly,
If it's too much, you can grow anything on 400 acres of land and you won't starve to death.
Chen Xi nodded when he heard this. He knew this. In fact, for a big victory like Guan Yu's, tens of thousands of people who participated in the battle could basically be assigned a first-class title. And in important battlefields, where there were major gains, everyone could get it.
To the third or fourth level of nobility.
Why are the people of Lao Qin happy when they hear about the war? To put it bluntly, they are just farming and being businessmen, and there is nothing better than fighting. Because the boss can basically win with them. Bai Qi, who has always won every battle and has zero defeats, joins the war.
As long as you fight hard and survive, you can divide your fields and houses. Who wouldn't be happy?
Therefore, after this wave of people came back, the local veterans became a little restless. Erdan is not as good as me. Now he has reached the fourth level of knighthood. I am only the second level. No, no, no, I have to go. It is precisely because of this
Exciting, that kind of guy who had some ups and downs in his mentality was now even more restless.
"Even though we had previously stipulated that half of them would be sealed at home and half of them would be sealed abroad, in fact many people are still very restless." Liu Bei said helplessly. After the imperial war was over, Guan Yu won by almost ten points.
Ten thousand people were knighted.
Almost 20 million acres of land are needed for canonization. Of course, in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, land is not an issue. The canonized house does not need to be given a homestead like Da Qin. The rest can be found by yourself.
Chen Xiyang's construction team has model rooms for all levels of nobility. There are dozens of models for each level of nobility. Come on, tell me which one you want. We will build it for you within a month. It's so familiar.
Therefore, the benefits of the title are very reliable.
This also made the veterans at the rear a little uneasy, because the losses of the Han army were not big and the gains were very large. Naturally, there were a lot of people who got the title. In addition, Chen Xi and the First Emperor were different, and they had agreed on the canonization.
Then a lot of them were canonized.
According to the regulations, we will never make fun of the country's reputation, so everyone who returned home this time received the official canonization document issued by the Taiwei when they arrived at their hometown.
Of course, this is a printed product, with Liu Bei's seal stamped on it. With this, you can receive the corresponding rewards locally. As for being greedy for ink, no one really dares to mess with this stuff. This is a unanimous reward everywhere, and in
When I came back, the officer informed me.
If anything goes wrong, directly notify the local garrison commander and then report it to Chang'an step by step, and someone will naturally handle it.
After all, these rewards represent the country's reputation and cannot be messed with. Chen Xi is not a fool. He still knows which things can and cannot be moved.
However, even if this is the case, the things that soldiers from all over the country take back with their vouchers are all carried by carts, because the vouchers issued by the Taiwei need to be stamped and collected one by one at the local state-owned enterprises, regardless of which local state-owned enterprises are there, for food and drink.
Yes, if you go through it all, it will be one car.
This seems to be a lot more than giving the money directly, and it also saves a lot than giving the money directly, but it feels a lot more real when it comes to your hands.
So after the soldiers who came back received their things, the veterans who didn't go to the war became restless because there were too many and they were too affordable.
"That's roughly it." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "Generally, there were a lot of things distributed, which made the soldiers who didn't go to the battle feel that it was a mistake not to go, so they wanted to go."
"Bringing some of the soldiers back is a shot in the arm for the local area. Nothing can make the rear feel more at ease than soldiers who come back alive from the front line." Chen Xi said calmly. It's not like the Han Dynasty lost the battle, so they need to warn the soldiers who returned not to do so.
Talking nonsense.
Since we have won the battle, we should be rewarded and rewarded, and we should be returned to our hometown with honor. These people's own stories about the front line are more effective than the state's reports, and they can also make the local people feel at ease.
"However, after these veterans came back to receive their rewards, the place has indeed become more stable." Liu Bei thought for a while and said, he had also seen the situation in the previous two years. Even if Chen Xi's methods were very clever, he could not solve it.
The worry that people feel due to parting.
"The return of this group of people means peace of mind. We have won, not lost, and they will feel at ease when they come back with trophies. To be honest, this is mainly because the country's credibility is not in place." Chen Xi held up his hands.
After a while, "Fortunately, it will be solved after a long time."
"Then you mean to agree to the demobilization of veterans?" Liu Bei asked after thinking for a while.
Chen Xi has carried out a certain degree of demobilization of veterans before, such as Gan Ning's headquarters. That is, Chen Xi recruited a group of suitable veterans from the local area to supplement Gan Ning, but Chen Xi has never actually signed a demobilization order for the entire territory.
.
"Reluctantly agree." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "After all, the Han-Gui War should be the largest war dividend in the end. After this time, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity again, so they want to take advantage of it.
Such a wave of dividends is understandable.”
"War dividend?" Liu Bei nodded after hearing this. Indeed, without a direct war with Rome, this should be the last and largest wave of war dividends, and it is also the second time in history that nearly a million people have been sealed.
Lord's war.
"It's impossible to say that millions of people will be knighted by then." Chen Xi directly spoke out Liu Bei's inner thoughts. What does a million-medium-lower title mean? It means hundreds of millions of dan in annual salary expenditures, as well as 400-500 million acres of land.
Cultivated land was conferred and millions of houses were built.
It can be said that only the current Han Dynasty can support such a scale of expenditure. The last Qin Dynasty did this because the First Emperor did not want to spend so much money at all, and he did not have enough time to live to survive the Qin soldiers who defeated the Six Kingdoms.
, causing the Qin Dynasty to collapse overnight.
"One million people are knighted." Liu Bei breathed out. Just thinking about the expenditure required on this scale, Liu Bei was a little frightened. That is the expenditure that can really drag down a country to death. Just the construction of one million houses.
, which would have been fatal in other eras, not to mention the four to five billion acres of farmland. To be honest, in the early Western Han Dynasty, there were only 800 million acres of fertile land.
"This is not a problem." Chen Xi said with a smile, not to mention that the domestic canonization itself would be halved, even if it was not halved, it would still be able to sustain it, not to mention the territory of more than 30 million square kilometers, there is still no canonization.
place?
As for the expenditure on housing, food and other materials, that is not a problem.
Compared with these expenditures, for Chen Xi, maintaining the stability of the military merit system and the country's credibility are much more important than these expenditures. As long as the country's credibility is guaranteed and the military merit system is recognized by everyone, then even if the military merit system is recognized by everyone in the future,
One day there will be another war, and if the Han Dynasty raises its arms, countless warriors will stand up and rush to the battlefield.
"Yes, this is not a problem, at least it is not a problem for you." Liu Bei nodded without denying this fact. For the current Han Empire, this is indeed not a big problem. It is just a few hundred million acres of land.
How can tens of millions of square kilometers be divided up?
