Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 559: The first battle of the three redundancies (12)

Don't look at how loud Yuan Jiang's mouth is, the court will change people every now and then.

But the body is still very honest. After setting up the financial reform plan of the Transshipment Department with Cai Yanqing, he immediately ordered people to send the plan to the capital immediately.

The centralization of power in the Song Dynasty is still relatively strong, especially for finance and military affairs, which are very important. Such a large plan cannot be decided by the local government. First of all, it still needs to be informed to the court. It can only be implemented with the approval of the imperial court.

However, Yuan Jiang knew that it was actually just a formality.

Because Zhang Fei had secretly informed Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi of the whole plan in advance, just to cover up the whole plan, so it was designed at that time, and Yuan Jiang proposed the whole plan at this time.

This makes more sense.

The imperial court asked us to find a way, and this is my way.

Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing are only in charge of financial reform, while Wang Shao and Guo Kui are in charge of disarmament.

But it involves national defense, and it must be ensured that the border defense will not be affected after the layoffs are completed.

Don't disarm the country.

The two of them didn't dare to trust themselves, so they called Zhong Er, Zhong Gu, Zhe Jizu, Yao Si and other experienced generals to discuss.

However, these military generals sat in the room, but no one dared to speak.

Wang Shao waited for a while, and then asked: "Don't all the generals think that the army should not be disarmed?"

The generals shook their heads.

Guo Kui couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Why do you look like a group of girls, talk about it when you have something to say."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Zhe Jizu took the lead in saying: "It's not that we disagree with disarmament, it's just that we are afraid that if something happens on the border, once the army is defeated, someone will definitely blame the disarmament, and then implicate us. "

The rest nodded.

This is definitely possible. Xixia still misses Suizhou so far. If they see the disarmament of the Song Dynasty, they may make a move.

If they lose, someone will definitely impeach them.

Whether civil servants or generals are very familiar with this method, this is why, everyone knows the problem, but no one dares to take this responsibility.

It was only then that Wang Shao suddenly realized, "Since the imperial court sent me and envoy Guo Xuanfu to preside over this matter, even if something happens, we will be responsible and have nothing to do with you."

Guo Kui hurriedly said: "Wang Jinglue, this statement is wrong."

Wang Shao looked at Guo Kui suspiciously.

Guo Kui said: "It's our responsibility, then we will definitely take it, but what if it's not? Isn't there a military imperial court now, if something goes wrong, you can go to the military imperial court to have a trial, who is responsible, Whoever is responsible, we take the initiative, that will only cover up the culprit."

Wang Shao was stunned, then nodded and smiled, "Xuan Fushi's words are reasonable!"

Waiting for a group of generals to react suddenly, yes! Now that the military imperial court is here, we don't need to be so afraid.

After this incident, these generals believed in the imperial court deeply, and secretly rejoiced that they stood on the right side at that time, and did not run to challenge the imperial court foolishly for the little profit in the barracks.

Guo Kui said: "It's okay to say what you think."

Zhe Jizu immediately said: "Now is not a peaceful and prosperous age. There are strong enemies on both sides of the west and north. If we want to reduce the army, we must improve the combat effectiveness of the army. I think that the law of defense must be changed.

This law stipulates a rotation every three years, which will not only increase the military expenditure, but also cause the soldiers to be exhausted. The key point is that if the enemy wants to invade the country on a large scale, it must choose the first year of the garrison. Launch an attack, because the new soldiers are not as familiar with the terrain of our army's position as the enemy. This time and place are favorable, and if they don't take advantage of it, how can we win the battle. "

This more garrison law is a rule set by Zhao Pu. Divide the forbidden army into two, and the division stationed in the capital and the frontier states, rotate inside and outside, and return to the capital regularly, but the generals will not be transferred accordingly. Handsome impermanence teacher".

The main purpose is to prevent the benefit of the general's monopoly.

This is indeed very effective, but it also seriously damages the combat effectiveness of the army. Now the rotation is not by train or plane, and it can be reached in half a day.

Go back and forth for a few months. When they first arrived at the front line, the soldiers were often unaccustomed to the environment and had only half their lives left. It would take at least a year or two to recover and become familiar with the local warfare. transferred away.

The Xixia side is not stupid, they are pinching their fingers, counting the Song army's advances to fight.

The generals are miserable about this. If they are defeated, they will be responsible, but it is obviously not their fault.

The key point is that Zhe Jizu's words are more convincing, because their Zhejia army does not change, most of them are Fuzhou children, and the influence on them is not very big, so he can not say it.

Wang Shao is also a person who knows the soldiers. He has seen this problem for a long time, and he also wants to take this opportunity to abolish the more garrison law. He nodded and said: "We will ask the officials to abolish the more garrison Legal."

"Huh?"

A group of generals looked at Wang Shao in shock.

This can be regarded as the law of the ancestors before!

Few people dare to talk about this, because it involves imperial power.

But Wang Shao said that Qing Miao was worried.

The two old foxes, Wang Shao and Guo Kui, looked at each other and smiled.

They also all know Yuanjiang's financial reform plan, and even Yuanjiang dared to invite the court to form a super financial institution. Compared with that, ours is nothing.

No, you can replace it.

Let's see who dares to take this pot.

Now is the time for them to put pressure on the imperial court, and this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Guo Kui asked again: "Do you have any suggestions?"

The military generals immediately felt relieved after seeing this. Zhong Er immediately said: "The source of soldiers is also a problem. Although our army is large, but because the system is too rigid, once the battles with Rongdi increase, the battle losses will inevitably increase, and this source of soldiers is often unable to replenish.

Therefore, I suggest strengthening the training of the villagers, requiring that at critical moments, the supply of troops can be replenished in time, which can also reduce the troubles caused by disarmament to border affairs. "

This is actually borrowing some experience from these armies. The reason why General Zhe is strong is because the children of Fuzhou are brave and good at fighting and can replenish in time.

As for other armies, there are two ways to replenish the source of troops, wait for the capital to allocate, or wait for the imperial court to recruit troops.

But no matter what it is, the speed is surprisingly slow.

Wang Shao suddenly asked: "The imperial court has a system to replenish the supply of soldiers according to the shortage of military registration. If there is a huge shortage of military registration, it should be replenished in time."

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhe Jizu said: "The military registration system is also very rigid and cumbersome. It is difficult for the court to know the specific situation of the border in a timely manner."

Wang Shaodao: "But the military expenses are not underpaid."

"Yes."

"So do you have any suggestions?"

The generals shook their heads.

This issue of military status is mainly due to technical reasons, and they don't know how to make up for it.

Wang Shao and Guo Kui made eye contact for a moment, they were both the first and the second big, and there were so many problems in casual chatting.

It can be seen that this is not a matter of overnight!

In front of the government office.

"Master Fu walks slowly."

"Free Shipping!"

Fu Shichun got out of the gate of the government office, and then directly got into the carriage waiting in front of the gate, but saw a young man sitting in the carriage.

The young man looked at Fu Shichun with a smile, "How is the situation?"

Fu Shichun took out a small hanging copper coin from his sleeve and threw it to the young man.

"Thank you!"

The young man slipped a small sling of copper coins into his sleeve.

This person is Cai Jing.

Fu Shichun asked: "How did you guess that the government government will ask our police station to intervene?"

Cai Jing said with a smile: "You don't need to think about it. There must be a lot of tricks hidden in this autumn tax. Believe it or not, even if the old officials are allowed to collect taxes legally, they don't know how to collect them, because many land It is all based on legal and illegal.

In the past, everyone had a tacit understanding, so there is no need to worry, but now that the imperial court is here, if you are accused in the imperial court, it may not be worth the loss, and you will offend many people. Why don't you cooperate with your royal police? Come, they don't have to bear the responsibility. "

Fu Shichun nodded with a worried look on his face.

Cai Jing knew what was going on in his mind. The police station had been developing obscenely, and Fu Shichun would of course be unwilling to let them jump to the front line all of a sudden.

The two came to the imperial court in a carriage.

"Which one of you won?"

Seeing them, Zhang Fei couldn't help asking with a smile.

Fu Shichun said: "You have won."

Zhang Fei glanced at Cai Jing and said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I'm not sure about this matter. It's Cai Jing who decided that the government will definitely let the police station participate."

It is entirely up to the government to decide whether to allow the police station to participate.

Because the tax department has not yet arrived, the police station does not have the power to collect taxes.

Whether the government chooses to involve the police station has its own advantages and disadvantages. The key point is how can this power be easily surrendered. Therefore, Zhang Fei prefers that the government will not let the police station participate.

But Cai Jing is sure that the government will let the police station intervene, because Cai Jing believes that even if the government wants to collect taxes legally, they don't know how to do so. The risk is too great, and they may be sued by the imperial court , which may involve some corruption in previous years.

Obviously, Cai Jing guessed right.

Fu Shichun asked: "What should we do now?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said: "The government doesn't know how to collect taxes legally, let alone your police station. If you follow the old law to collect taxes, you are very likely to be framed, and you will also Offend many people, whether it is the landlord or the common people.

You have to use the method of self-declaration, first cooperate with the government, let them provide the cadastre, and then let the people take the land deeds to declare taxes, so that the police will not directly conflict with them. "

Fu Shichun said: "What should I do if I encounter tax evasion?"

Zhang Fei said: "You are only assisting, and the power is still in the hands of the government. It depends on whether the tax has increased or decreased compared with previous years. If it has decreased, it may be caused by our self-declaration. Self-declaration must be entered. The second step is random inspection. If it is almost the same, or if it has increased, then there is nothing suspicious."

Before the tax department arrived, he didn't dare to be too arrogant. First of all, the police station did not have the power to do so. Secondly, it was difficult for them to find specific evidence, so they could only scare them.

Because in this way, the landlord must pay more taxes, and pay taxes with the title deed. The farmer really only has a small title deed, and they cannot help the tax-free land to be apportioned.

The landlord must make up for it.

This requires a tacit understanding, the accounts should look better, and everyone can do business, otherwise, this self-declaration method will have to be responsible for it!

Then it's time to investigate.
