The fifth military camp was only 30% reorganized, and 30% of the free pay had been taken up. Jarvis looked at Admiral Xin Huaizheng with both laughter and laughter: "The general must be rich, and this monthly income alone is huge." Xin Huaizheng's face turned red. Jarvis asked sternly
He asked, "Are there many old, weak, sick and disabled people behind?"
Xin Huaizheng smiled and said: "Some children of military families are already very tall at a young age; and the old soldiers who have swords that will not age are not inferior to the young people."
"Oh." Jarvis glanced at him, "Then do they get the same pay as ordinary soldiers?"
Xin Huaizheng took a few breaths and said simply: "Since the general knows, there is no need to ask even though he already knows."
Jarvis shrugged: "Anyway, that's a thing of the past. From now on, this item will be gone."
Xin Huaizheng responded with a dejected "Yes". After a while he said again: "Then...how do they deal with it?"
"How to deal with it." Jarvis said, "The younger ones will be sent to school, and the older ones will have pension insurance immediately when they retire. Those who are not strong enough will go to the training center to learn other trades, and they will change careers and fight for the country of Yan. Again.
In a few months, with the reform of the household department, even the military household will be abolished."
Xin Huaizheng said anxiously: "If the military household is abolished, who will be willing to serve as a soldier!"
Jarvis said leisurely: "You get paid as a soldier, and the army provides food, accommodation, clothes, shoes and socks. Are you afraid that no young people will come?" I won't tell you about the belief in protecting the home and country.
Xin Huaizheng was really anxious this time. He stood up and clasped his fists and said: "General Jia, please report to Prime Minister Lin. The military household system must not be abolished, otherwise the troops of Yan State will be gone in an instant."
How could Jarvis not know what he was thinking? He smiled and said: "Don't worry, before the prefect Jia Lian came to Taiwan, there were no military households in Taiwan, and there are none now. Guangdong and Guangxi quietly abolished military households eleven years ago, only
It's just an edict to the world. Ping'an Prefecture also abolished military households nine years ago. The State of Yan is much larger than Ping'an Prefecture. If the Yan army and the Ping'an army fight, it's not sure who will win."
Xin Huai's front was earth-colored, and he said, "Yan State is different from Ping'an State. I hope the regent and the prime minister will think twice!"
Jarvis wondered: "What's the difference? The two places are adjacent and the people are connected. It's just that the soldiers' pay and equipment are different."
"No, no!" Xin Huai's inner clothes were soaked with sweat, "I'm not sure what the mess will be."
Jarvis waved his hand: "Don't worry, General Xin. I will hold up if the sky falls. Besides, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. The government's policy is decided by the political hall, so we can just follow it."
Xin Huaizheng remembered that Lin Daiyu attacked the princes as soon as she took office, and Jarvis reorganized the military system without mercy. He knew that both of them were ruthless characters who did not give people face, and he gradually became depressed. After a long time, he sighed: "... I still hope.
Prime Minister Lin, think twice."
Jarvis smiled and said: "I have thought twice about it more than ten years ago. I first worked hard in Taiwan for five years, and then gradually extended it to Guangdong, Guangxi and Ping'an Prefecture after gaining experience. Now the whole system is very mature." Xin Huaizheng said this
I didn't even sigh anymore.
At that moment, Jarvis and others left the camp, and Shen Zhimo couldn't help but ask: "General, why did that General Xin act as if he had killed his parents when he heard that military households were to be abolished?"
Jarvis laughed dumbly: "You're right, blocking someone's way of making money is like killing your parents."
"ah?"
Liu Zhuang said: "This Xin Huaizheng's family has more fields than Prince Yan's palace, but half an acre has not been sold. What do you think is the reason?"
Shen Zhimo blinked: "I can't guess."
"Military households have been in the military for generations and are not allowed to do other jobs. The Fifth Army Camp is not as elite as the Shenji Camp. The prince will send people over from time to time to have a look, so there are many tricks to make money." Jarvis said, "Yes.
Empty pay is one kind, and so is not having enough military training."
Shen Zhimo said "Oh": "I know! Xin Huaizheng doesn't train his troops on weekdays. He only sends his soldiers to cultivate in his family's fields. Therefore, he doesn't need to sell a lot of land, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to hire tenants - he has plenty of young laborers.
.”
"That's right." Jarvis nodded, "If military households are abolished, people will still have to work hard to do farm work for them, so they can only let him exploit most of the military pay? It's better to work as a tenant farmer in a big family than to work for nothing under him.
.”
Shen Zhimo said in disgust: "Why don't you jerk off this stinky general?"
Jarvis smiled and said: "Don't worry. He is about to resign."
Liu Zhuang said: "I'm afraid the people in the land will have money to make easy."
Shen Zhimo was young and not as transparent as the two of them. He frowned and thought for a while: "Just because the soldiers can no longer do farm work in vain, he doesn't even want to be a general? I don't understand this logic. He has been in Beijing for many years.
, we are familiar with each other, why should we do this?”
Liuzhuang smiled and said: "This is called going from frugality to luxury, but from luxury to frugality is difficult. Lin Xiangyi said that taxes should be collected. How many princes and princes sold their fields in Yan and used the money to buy them in other countries? Although Xin Huaizheng
Greed is indeed a tiger general. If you switch to another country, you won't have to worry about being accepted."
Shen Zhimo hurriedly said: "Amitabha, please let him go quickly, so that he can cause trouble to other countries." Everyone laughed and rode back into the sunset.
What Liu Zhuang said was right. Adding the two things of empty pay and abolishing military households into one, Xin Huaizheng's family income was reduced to zero in the blink of an eye, leaving only his small salary. His family was already used to enjoying happiness, and it was impossible to be frugal anymore.
This man made a quick decision and went home to discuss with his parents and brothers. That night he sent letters to the envoys of Jin, Wu, Qi, and Shu at the same time. The four envoys did not know that Yan State was going to abolish military households.
They were a little confused, so the four of them sent people to SHIELD to buy information.
It was already late when the people from Qi arrived, and they met Liuzhuang returning home. Liuzhuang thought that Jia Cong and others' strategy for Qi was to wait for them to fall on their own, so he smiled and said, "Is this news worth buying? Yan Jun
After a major reorganization, military power was placed in the hands of Jarvis and his subordinates, and Xin Huaizheng, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Camp, was no longer in name only."
The man had an epiphany: "That's it."
Liu Xiaoqi glared at his nephew: "You brat! How can you do this kind of business?" Liu Zhuang made a face and ran to the back.
The reorganization of the Fifth Military Camp has not yet been completed, but Xin Huaizheng has received the news, and the Qi State welcomes him. This person is still accompanying Jarvis in the reorganization, and his family quietly sells off the fields in the suburbs of Beijing. After the complete reorganization of the Fifth Military Camp, it was discovered that there were four empty paychecks.
With so many achievements, coupled with the old, weak, sick and disabled, the actual combat strength is less than half of what is shown on the nameplate. Jarvis looked at Xin Huaizheng with a half-smile but not a smile for a long time, and left without saying a word.
Three days later, all teachers entered the Fifth Army Camp. Xin Huaizheng wrote a letter to the regent to resign, and roped in more than a dozen generals from the Fifth Army Camp. Jia Cong smiled and said, "I won't see you off if I leave."
The 3,000-person battalion had a small number of troops and was well equipped with the experience of the previous Shenji battalion. They quickly captured it. At this point, the Beijing army completely fell into the hands of Jarvis. Then they began to reorganize the Royal Forest Army.
The Yulin Army originally had 1,600 personal barracks, but when King Yan came to power, it was expanded to 5,000, and his third son was dismantled. The third eldest brother's personal barracks would be established for several months, and people were uncertain, so Jia Cong had already organized them when he came to Beijing.
There is also a firearms battalion of 6,000, which has also been integrated long ago. There are still 15,000 guard battalions and 32,000 infantry battalions left in the Royal Guards. Among them, there are also many empty payers, old, weak, sick and disabled.
On this day, Shi Xiangyun led his wives to hold a charity auction again, and Yao, the third grandma of Xu Hanlin's family, came again. She didn't want to come, but the eldest grandma wanted to use her Dongfeng to recognize Qin Keqing, so she asked her to come with her. Qin Keqing was also
I was not prepared to come. When I heard that Yao was coming, she actually came too.
When the two met, Yao seemed to be a little rounder than before. Qin Keqing smiled unconsciously: "She looks a bit richer."
Yao laughed and said, "I've been eating and sleeping all day, so I'm so idle." He glanced at her sister-in-law and hesitated on what to say.
Qin Keqing looked at Grandma Xu with a smile: "Who is this?"
Mrs. Yao hurriedly said: "This is my sister-in-law, and her father is Gao Hanlin."
"It turns out that she is Gao Hanlin's daughter. Your two Hanlin families are incompatible with each other." Qin Keqing talked to Gao with a happy face. Yao sat beside him and occasionally added a word or two.
After a while, Qin Keqing invited Yao to accompany her for a walk. Gao said, "She is inconvenient, so I should accompany Qin Dong's house."
Qin Keqing said: "She has passed three months, the fetus is stable, and it is time to move around. I was just about to tell her some things that she should pay attention to these days." Mrs. Gao could only smile.
The weather was getting warmer, so Qin Keqing helped Yao and walked outside for a while. Seeing no one around, she said with a smile: "I'm here to inform Expert Yao of the progress. General Jarvis has successfully reorganized the third battalion of the Beijing Army.
The only ones are the Guards. The Guardsmen and Firearms Battalions were integrated when the Prince Regent came to Beijing last year, and now Jarvis is reorganizing the Guards Battalion."
Yao was surprised: "So soon? I heard from my mother-in-law's brother that Xin Huaizheng, the commander of the Fifth Military Camp, resigned."
"That's right." Qin Keqing said, "After the reorganization, he can no longer eat the free wages he used to eat, and he can no longer order soldiers to help his family farm. His family has a lot of land, where can he find so many tenants at the moment? He can't farm it if it's empty.
It is not worthwhile to stay in Yan State if he is subject to heavy taxes. The regent happily sent him to Qi State to cause harm to the Qi army."
Yao was stunned for a while, then said: "So that's the reason. Why is it said everywhere that General Jarvis eliminated dissidents?"
Qin Keqing said: "Because Xin Huaizheng and others haven't left yet. What if the State of Qi hears the truth and refuses to accept him anymore? When he arrives in the State of Qi and gets a military position, someone will naturally clarify for Jarvis."
Yao laughed dumbly: "General Jia is wronged."
Qin Keqing looked at her and said, "Mo Xiao. How about he help me translate Sanskrit after he finishes reorganizing the infantry camp?"
Yao said cheerfully: "I can't understand those military camps either. Seeing what General Jia means, it's obvious that he can't do it. I'm feeling uncomfortable with my free time, so now I can serve Shopkeeper Qin."
"That's a good relationship." Qin Keqing said happily, "I'll have someone send you the information tomorrow."
"good."
The next day, Qin Keqing sent a little girl to the Xu Mansion to deliver information to the Yao family. The Yao family was really busy these days. Yesterday, she made a special trip to her parents' house to get some Sanskrit books from her grandfather's study. Seeing this
The little girl was very happy and asked her to sit down and asked her her name, age and what she was doing at Qin Dong's house.
The little girl answered one by one. Her name was He Xiaonan. She was an orphan and was raised in a health care center since she was a child. Later, she went to Tsinghua Charity Women's School and was named by the principal Jia Anniang. After graduating last year, Qin Keqing was picked from the school.
, is currently responsible for clerical work in the Preparatory Office of the National Palace Museum. What I have delivered today are some Sanskrit rubbings on the vessels and Sanskrit charcoal copies.
When Yao saw that the copy was as fine as silk and lifelike, he couldn't help but praise: "What a painting!"
He Xiaonan said: "This is what our researcher Nie painted."
Yao had noticed three characters in the corner of the painting, Nie Chunhui. Although it was written in charcoal, it was very elegant. He also praised: "I also bought charcoal to use it. Although it is convenient, it is difficult to write good calligraphy."
It’s really rare that this Researcher Nie can draw with charcoal and write so well.”
He Xiaonan smiled and said: "What is this? Don't look at his age. He is the most talented and learned person in our museum. He knows everything. He knows which dynasty the various antiques are from, what they are used for, and what anecdotes are used.
." She paused, "I just don't know Sanskrit."
Yao smiled and said, "It's just you, little girl, who has such a sweet mouth."
He Xiaonan took out another letter: "Ms. Yao, because your job is in interface with Researcher Nie, in order to facilitate communication, the two of you will have more correspondence in the future. This is a letter from him to you.
call."
The letter was not sealed, so Yao took it out and read it. Although it was just a cliché like "I hope you will enlighten me", the literary talent was not vulgar, neither humble nor overbearing, and the allusions were subtle. Yao secretly praised: I don't know this is Nie.
The girl is still Grandma Nie, she is really talented. It’s funny that I thought that my talent was rare in the boudoir, but it turned out that I was just a frog in the well. I didn’t know that I might see her true appearance in the future. Then I thought about it, when my child is born
, it was rare that he could recognize her. He smiled, looked at the letter and said: "Can you please tell this Researcher Nie that I am not very talented and do not deserve her praise. Although I know a few ideas in Sanskrit..." She smiled again, "That's all.
I'll reply to her." He Xiaonan quickly rolled up his sleeves and polished it for Yao. Yao took a piece of paper from the desk and wrote a reply. When the ink dried, He Xiaonan left the information and left with the reply.
Suddenly the maids around Yao gathered around, curious to see the paintings. Yao asked them to look more carefully. Although the maids could not read the calligraphy, they were amazed at the paintings. One of them asked: "Who created this painting?"
painting?"
Yao said: "She is a woman, not very old." Then she sighed, "I am not as far away as her. You know there are people above you."
On the other side, He Xiaonan returned to the Forbidden City with the letter, went straight to a secluded courtyard, and shouted: "Researcher Nie~~" No one agreed.
Walking into the room, there was a young man in his mid-twenties, wearing a white coat borrowed from a military doctor and a pair of fashionable gold-rimmed glasses. He held a magnifying glass in his hand and looked carefully at a piece of blue and white porcelain. He Xiaonan
Not daring to disturb him, he stood beside him for a long time. The young man put down the magnifying glass and said slowly: "No need to call Researcher He, he is weird. Just call me Nie Chun."
He Xiaonan couldn't help laughing and said: "Your reflex arc can already circle the earth three times!" Then he took out the letter, "Here, a reply from Auntie Yao, a Sanskrit expert."
Nie Chun took the letter and took a look. This Sanskrit expert was not only an expert in Sanskrit, he was also an expert in Chinese. He was really talented in writing. Besides, didn't it mean that the women in these families were extremely feudal and closed-minded and didn't tell outsiders their names? Why did she put it in the Chinese language?
