Chapter 614 New Questions (Seeking a Silver Ticket)
Jiang Fan escaped from the house.
When Hong Qigong was fooled by his few words, he seized the opportunity and ran away.
Order in Heyang City has returned to normal.
Although the situation outside was chaotic, it did not affect Heyang City itself.
After all the Liu family members were arrested, the policies that had been abolished by the Liu family were reactivated.
The new taxes promulgated by Liu before were naturally abolished.
All the people in Heyang whom I met along the way bowed respectfully to Jiang Fan.
Originally, some people subconsciously planned to kneel down, but before they could actually kneel down, they were pulled up by other people around them.
Then the people who were about to kneel down remembered that Jiang Fan had abolished the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping in Heyang City.
It is required that the people of Heyang are not allowed to kneel down and worship no matter who they see. Even if they see him and want to show respect, they only need to bow.
Soon we arrived at the Heyang government office, where both officials and staff seemed very busy.
After taking complete control of Heyang, Jiang Fan proposed a series of reform plans, which involved all aspects, from people's livelihood to the political system.
Therefore, the current work intensity of Heyang Government Office is very high.
Jiang Fan is only responsible for formulating plans, and the person who implements the specific plans is Chen Ang.
How to realize Jiang Fan's idea step by step in Heyang City, without causing turmoil in Heyang City during the implementation process, and allowing the whole process to be completed imperceptibly, these are the issues that Chen Ang needs to consider.
It is conceivable that even for Chen Ang, this job is full of challenges.
After nodding greetings to the officials and clerks he met, Jiang Fan found Tieniu with a sad look on his face in the original city captain's office.
"It's like saying you have something to do with me? What's the matter?"
"Master? You're here! Oh, I'm almost worried to death!"
Tieniu was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he stepped forward and took Jiang Fan's hand, pulling Jiang Fan to the chair in the office.
Then he turned around to make tea for Jiang Fan and said at the same time: "It's about He Wenshu's team. According to your previous instructions, Master, after He Wenshu led the entire team to surrender, we started to provide them with supplies and corresponding supplies."
The standard for military pay is similar to that of our militia. Compared with their original military pay, it is at least about 50% higher."
"Huh? So? What's the problem?"
Jiang Fan asked strangely.
"The problem is big. Master, didn't you say before that every soldier's salary should be paid directly to the soldier? But He Wenwen's team did not agree to do this. The general of that team asked all
The military pay was given to them, and then they distributed it to the soldiers below, saying that this has always been the rule."
Tieniu frowned and continued: "I arranged for the tribesmen to investigate and found that after receiving the military pay, the generals of that team did not really send all the military pay to the soldiers, but only gave out a fifth of it.
About one and a half, and the remaining four-fifths, in addition to going into the pockets of the corresponding generals, a considerable part is used to support their personal soldiers."
"This is a flaw in the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since the military system is implemented, the ones with real combat effectiveness in any team are basically the general's personal soldiers, so military pay will also be concentrated on them.
.As for other ordinary soldiers, they will be treated quite harshly. They are soldiers during war. When there is no war, they are no different from farmers, and they have to farm the land to support themselves."
"Master, according to your previous thoughts and requirements, our militia is considered... professional... professional soldiers? Yes, that's the word. Their only mission is to train and fight, food, and military pay. These are theirs.
Remuneration. Since He Wenshu’s team has been integrated into our system, they should naturally follow our requirements, but the generals in their team don’t think so..."
This is really a problem.
Jiang Fan also frowned and fell into deep thought.
He knew something about the military system of the Zhou Dynasty.
Although it has only been a few decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the problem of redundant troops has become very serious.
The military garrison system resulted in a large number of soldiers working as farmers in peacetime and as soldiers in wartime. They lacked corresponding training and were unable to maintain real combat effectiveness.
Once on the battlefield, the biggest role is often to support the scene.
The effect of scaring people is greater than the actual combat effect.
Therefore, all generals basically keep their own soldiers.
These soldiers do not need to work in agriculture, and they also undergo relatively strict training on weekdays. Most of the salary allocated by the court will be intercepted by the generals and then spent on these soldiers.
Of course, the exact amount that will be spent, and how much of the intercepted salary will be directly embezzled, all depends on the conscience of the general.
But such an approach will undoubtedly drastically reduce the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers, and their motivation and desire to fight will also be very low.
"He Wenshu has already joined the ranks of guerrilla warfare with his own soldiers. This is not the right time to attack his subordinates. Moreover, if strong measures are taken, it will easily lead to mutiny."
Jiang Fan took a deep breath and then said: "Let's go to Qian's house later and discuss it with Qian Rushan. We will open a collective account in the Qian family's bank. All soldiers, including our militia, will
The names and corresponding characteristics of each person in He Wensheng's team were submitted to the Qian family."
"Then the Qian family will record it. All military pay will not be distributed in kind, but will be paid directly to these people's personal accounts in the Qian family bank. If you want to receive the military pay, you only need to hold your own road guide.
, you can go to any Sihai bank in person and get it directly in the form of a money ticket."
"As a result, the military pay is not in the hands of those generals, and those generals will naturally have no chance to benefit from it. Even if they want to protest, there is no reason to protest. After all, we are not withholding military pay, we are just passing
In this way, it will be distributed directly to individuals."
After listening to Jiang Fan's words, Tieniu was stunned for a moment and then suddenly became happy.
"What a great idea! Master, what is your brain? Why do you always come up with such novel ideas?"
Tieniu said with a smile.
"Because my brain is brains, but your brain is muscles."
Jiang Fan said angrily.
Tieniu didn't understand, scratched his head, suddenly thought of a question, and said: "Master, although the generals have no reason to protest by doing this, they will definitely be very dissatisfied, right? Will there not be any trouble?
?”
"Of course you will be dissatisfied. Being a man and making money is like killing your parents. But you have to understand that the generals and their soldiers are only a minority after all. By doing this, we can satisfy the most soldiers. If the generals are dissatisfied and want to cause trouble
, which is equivalent to robbing money from other soldiers."
"The soldiers have never received such a large amount of pay before, so naturally they will not feel it. But now that the pay has been paid directly to their accounts, and they have seen real money receipts, it is just a dream to imagine exploiting them like before.
.”
Jiang Fan smiled, but he had another idea in his mind.
If trouble really occurs because of this, maybe... it's not a bad thing.
