Emperor Wei didn't want to appear stingy, nor did he want people from other countries to steal the limelight, so this arduous task naturally fell on Qin Yu.
After all, Qin Yu's attainments in poetry are extremely high and convincing.
Qin Yu responded: "Okay, then leave this matter to me."
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Nan aside, "Prince, don't you have something to report to His Majesty?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, then stood up, looked at Emperor Wei, with a serious face, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, my son and brother-in-law have discussed something with General Qin Feng in the past few days, and I would like to ask my father for approval.
.”
Qin Yu listened and smiled helplessly.
Qin Yu actually wanted Xiao Nan to earn this reputation for himself, after all, he would be the emperor of the Wei Dynasty from now on, but Xiao Nan was really too down-to-earth, so he still brought Qin Yu and Qin Feng with him.
Seeing how serious Xiao Nan was, Emperor Wei sat upright and said seriously: "Okay, as long as it is conducive to the development of our great Wei Dynasty, I will agree to everything."
Although Qin Yu and Xiao Nan are a bit cynical on weekdays, when it comes to serious matters, they have no problems at all and can make arrangements clearly.
To put it bluntly, Qin Yu and Xiao Nan take most of the credit for the current development of the Wei Dynasty, and Qin Yu takes most of the credit.
Xiao Nan said slowly: "Father, now that the land reform and political reform in various parts of the Wei Dynasty have been completed, there is money and food in Taicang, and the court is not so strapped now, so the three sons and ministers want to ask for help from our Wei generals.
Want a benefit."
"The increase in military pay can be postponed for a while, but the pension issue really cannot be postponed. In the past, our Wei Dynasty did not have pensions. If a soldier, old or young, died, the backbone of their family would collapse.
.”
"Isn't it rare that the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty fought bloody battles on the front line and finally died for the country without even a penny of pension, forcing their wives to take to the streets to sell their children? They killed people and set fire to gold belts, and died in battle without any corpses in a foreign land. The Wei Dynasty
Father should not be like this..."
Xiao Nan said, tears already dripping down from his cheeks.
His love for the army and care for the soldiers of the three armies are unparalleled.
Although this is Xiao Nan's first war, and although Xiao Nan has not been in the army for a long time, he can comfort the sufferings of the soldiers of the three armies.
Listen to Xiao Nan's words.
Everyone in the tent couldn't help but burst into tears.
This matter really needs to be explained to the officers and soldiers of the three armed forces.
Although it is said that one general's success will lead to tens of thousands of withered bones, you still have to give an explanation to the family members of these withered bones, right?
Shouldn't the court care about the life and death of their wife, children, and children? Shouldn't they be responsible?
Emperor Wei was also a sentimental person, his eyes moistened when Xiao Nan said it, and he waved his hand, "Nan'er, please stop talking. This matter is my dereliction of duty and the court's dereliction of duty. What you said is absolutely correct.
They died for the country, the court should be responsible for their deaths, and their families should be taken care of by the court."
The Emperor of Wei was also the Immediate Emperor, so how could he not sympathize with the sufferings of the soldiers of the three armies?
Xiao Nan bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, father."
Today he is not asking Emperor Wei as the Crown Prince of Wei, but as a general of Wei.
Xiao Nan regards the soldiers as brothers. This is not something he says casually. He wants to help the soldiers gain tangible benefits. This is what a brother should do this time.
At this time, the atmosphere in the tent was filled with excitement and depression.
At the same time, Xiao Nan, Qin Yu and Qin Feng gave these humerus another blow to the head.
After the war, they did not ask for credit, but fought for the interests of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Where can I find such a prince, consort and general?
If he had not truly integrated into the army and understood the sufferings of the soldiers of the three armies, how could Xiao Nan have said these words?
Emperor Wei looked at Xiao Nan and continued: "Since this request was made by you, you must have seriously considered this issue. Please tell me what should be done about this matter."
Xiao Nan listened, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and said slowly: "Father, after research by my son, brother-in-law, and General Qin Feng, the form of pension does not need to be very complicated. One of them is
Tax exemption and reduction of land tax for ten years for the families of soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. Secondly, a one-time pension of ten taels of gold and silver will be given, and then another four taels of silver will be given every year starting from the next year until the children come of age. In this way, the first payment can make them happy.
They will not be desperate and impoverished, and the continuous income can ensure that they have a stable income after an accident occurs at home. It also reduces the pressure on the court to pay too much in one go and pay pensions. In the future, the court will have more money and pensions.
The amount can be raised again.”
After hearing this, everyone bowed their heads and made calculations.
It has to be said that this is a huge expense. A soldier can receive at least sixty taels of silver as a subsidy, and this does not include the ten-year land tax exemption.
Although it sounds like sixty taels of silver is not a lot.
But in the Wei Dynasty, an adult man's wages for working for a day was only fifteen cents, four hundred and fifty cents a month, and five thousand four hundred cents a year, which is five taels and four cents of silver. And this is not even a day.
Rest situation.
If a normal adult man earns four taels of silver a year, this is considered a lot.
So this is equivalent to the court paying an adult man fifteen years' wages, not counting tax exemptions.
Not to mention the Wei Dynasty, this is other countries. In the long history, no country has ever been willing to give such a large pension to soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
Qin Yu also deeply understands this.
This is ancient times, a feudal society, a feudal society in which everything in the world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers. No one in a superior position is willing to pay such a big bill for a dead person.
This is also in Da Wei.
If this were in other countries, anyone who made such a request would have to be pushed out by the emperor and the nine tribes would be exterminated.
After Emperor Wei calculated, he frowned, then looked at Qin Wenyao and asked: "Wenyao, do you think the plan they made is reasonable?"
To be honest, let alone Emperor Wei, he felt too much.
Even Qin Wenyao felt too much.
Xiao Nan and Qin Yu's suggestion didn't matter. In an instant, a large amount of grain silver was taken out of Taicang every year, and it happened every year, increasing year by year.
However, although Qin Wenyao is a tough guy, he also knows how to separate things. He knows better than anyone what money should be spent and what money should not be spent.
Su Fu and Zhang Zian kept looking at Xiao Nan, their eyes full of relief and appreciation. What Qin Yu and Xiao Nan had done had already exceeded their original expectations, and they were moving towards higher and farther places.
