How long has it been since it lasted? His Royal Highness is talking about something in the court again.
This is really different from the official family. The official family hopes that nothing will happen, but His Highness the Crown Prince has to find something to do if nothing happens.
This time it cannot be said that he was looking for trouble, but that something that could have been simple was made complicated by His Highness the Crown Prince.
The prince wants to recruit workers, for the Bianliang Qianjian, for the Dongchuan Copper Mine, and for the Huiwu Iron Mine.
Bianliang Qian Jian said that in the past, they belonged to the imperial court, but the Dongchuan Copper Mine and Huiwu Iron Mine belonged to merchants, at least in name only. Is it necessary to discuss them in the court?
Is necessary!
The article clearly states that the recruitment target is the army within the scope of the country, and the recruitment is for those who have changed their military status to civilian status.
And pre-job training is required...this is another noun.
"When soldiers are converted into civilians, the country and the dynasty have their own laws. How can the affairs of the merchants disrupt the dynasty's order?"
It’s the law again! Zhao Xi is really tired of hearing it.
Zhao Xi has always been cautious in doing things, trying not to touch some of the country's institutions, and had to borrow the methods of merchants.
Even when it comes to his duties, he has compromised himself. If he wants to do something, he still avoids criticism from the court and takes a detour.
Since Song Qi first mentioned Sandu, Sandu has been a well-known drawback in the court. The Qingli New Deal also took some measures to change it, but it was just a way of destroying jobs. Now, Zhao Xi is going around and not going.
Instead of having a job, I want to change my job, or even change it to a high-quality job that can be used to live in. Some people still complain.
Back on Chengdu Road, Zhang Fangping could tell at a glance that this was Tu Mu Lixin. They both came from the same scientific background, and the difference was really not that big.
Zhao Xi wanted to fight back, but thought it was better to wait until all these clowns showed up, so that he could deal with them together.
Isn't it just a quarrel? I don't bother to quarrel, it's not because I can't quarrel, it's because I don't want to waste my energy with you.
"In this way, by allocating the army of the state and the dynasty to the merchant industry, where does the security of the state and dynasty endanger the state? Is it possible that the border guards should be replaced by civilians? Or should we restore the Qingli advocated and replace it with a recruitment system?"
Join the team! It has been more than ten years since Qingli, and many of the courtiers who overthrew the Qingli New Deal should be in court now.
It is undeniable that this sentence shocked some people.
Even Fu Bi's face didn't look good.
"I dare to ask Guo Yushi, have you ever read my memorial? Do you know how many workers were recruited? Let me ask Zhang Shizhi again, how many people are there for the imperial army at the beginning of the dynasty? How many people are there now?"
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, don't say that the copper mine is a business of merchants. All the princes in the court know that the copper mine was established because the country was short of copper, because the place of production belongs to the vassal country. To avoid suspicion, the name of merchant is used. This is one.
"
"Leave aside the Xiang army, there are 800,000 forbidden troops in the country. Regardless of the copper and iron mines, or the money guards, the labor force is less than 30,000, and they are responsible for guarding the safety of the copper mines. Because of 30,000, the border is left unguarded? That sounds nice.
This is alarmist talk, and it is sheer nonsense to say it is ugly!”
Zhao Xi debated with court officials for the first time, but he did not save any face, he was direct and crisp, and used words that were almost equivalent to country slang.
Are you anxious? A little bit, indeed a little angry.
"Your Highness, don't lie! There were 100,000 imperial troops in the imperial dynasty, and those soldiers were all veterans of many battles. How can they be compared with the soldiers we have today? In one battle, just one soldier can completely change the situation on the battlefield. Don't use 30,000 soldiers.
For the minority."
Hehe, still not giving up?
"Then let me ask the censor, is the country more chaotic now than at the beginning of the dynasty? Or is the product more scarce than at the beginning of the dynasty?"
"We are the same soldiers, we are the same people. We have abundant food, rich lives, and stable society. Why has our combat effectiveness declined?"
These words brought some anger to the general. This was really unintentional, and Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed.
Whether it's the Gao family, the Cao family, or Di Qing, they are all in the court.
"The soldiers are unwilling to make progress, and the generals are lazy and lazy. This does not happen in a day..."
"Can you see that I will complete the recruitment within one day?"
Zhao Xi understood this sentence and almost wanted to laugh.
"You... you..."
What are you talking about? Guo Shenti was also interrupted by Zhao Xi. He originally prepared a lot of words, but was directly suppressed by Zhao Xi.
Yes, one day as they said...
"Your Highness's words..."
"What does His Highness mean by three-year rotation?"
He still didn't say anything, but was interrupted by Fu Bi again.
Obviously, the bickering is not on the same level. His Highness is obviously just playing along, just for fun.
If we were to discuss the laws governing the transformation of the army into civilians, there was still room for it. However, His Highness led him astray and brought it directly to the number of soldiers. If the discussion continued, only Guo Shenti would make a fool of himself.
Fundamentally, His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for a way out to solve the shortcomings of the country. The wages mentioned in the memorial seem to have the meaning of establishing trust in vain.
Fu Bi understood that doing so seemed to be much more relaxed than reforming the military system, and there would not be much opposition.
As for Guo Shenti, he has reached his qualifications and urgently needs to find a target for impeachment, so as to increase his reputation and find a good job for the next step.
It's better not to let him continue to be embarrassed.
"Fu Xiang, the so-called transfer of civilians is actually just a wording to avoid Dali's suspicion. Gu Xi has set a three-year period for discussing the post."
"As mentioned in the article, copper and iron miners have dual identities as soldiers and workers. Moreover, their responsibilities in the mining area also alternate between mining and guarding."
"As for the three-year rotation, Xi's original intention was to arouse the current situation among soldiers who eat and wait to die, so that they can see the hope of living as individuals..."
This should be a very obvious thing, and anyone with a long eye can understand it.
Zhao Xi is not that impulsive. In the current situation, he is not at the stage of dictating matters in the court. At least he does not think he has that kind of strength.
Half of the early interest groups were members of the Wuxun family, who had no right to speak in court.
As for the three families of Lu, Han, and Wang, Wang Su was out and Lu Gongbi was out. Only Han Jiang was in the court, and he was still the censor Zhongcheng. Although he couldn't understand Guo Shenti's behavior, he still had to maintain the same censorship in the court.
As for the other people involved in the copper and iron ore matter, they have not seen the benefits yet and do not want to stand out in this matter.
In fact, this is not a controversial issue, it’s just that I happened to meet Guo Shen Tie’s stall.
Fu Bi asked, and Zhao Xi explained respectfully and politely.
The prince had a conversation with his husband and left Guo Shenti in the cold.
"How to recruit workers? Is it like recruiting soldiers for a guard camp?"
This time it was not two thousand, but nearly thirty thousand. Fu Bi was very worried that Bianliang would be overwhelmed because of this.
"Fu Xiang, this time we are recruiting workers. The escort battalion will be sent to Beijing by the instructors and commanders for a period of six months. We will recruit workers in various military states of the country and the dynasty."
"The first part of this trip is to recruit workers, the second part is to teach the guard battalion how to train soldiers, the third part is to publicize the treatment of miners and inspire the soldiers to be motivated. And all expenses are borne by the guard battalion and do not need to be paid by the court."
The real purpose is that Zhao Xi wants to find out the basics of the army of the country.
Needless to say, Fu Bi also understood that whether it was armor or firearms, the future equipment for the army had already been decided, and no one wanted to become the goods sold by the military leaders.
