Han Shizu

Chapter 290 Winter Moon
Hanging Palace.Guo Wei, Wang Jun, Shang Hongqian, Bai Wenke and the third envoy Wang Zhang are all there.

"Since the first month of the second year of Qianyou, the salary of the forbidden army will be distributed according to this salary table, let's tell the whole army!" Liu Chengyou personally stamped a seal on an album, looked around, and said to all the ministers.

Although his face was calm, the pressure in his heart increased a bit.Resetting the salaries of the forbidden army is another strategy to appease the soldiers. From the command envoy of Eryadu to the lower level, both the salary and the salary have been increased.In the Forbidden Army, although the main pawns have been reduced, the auxiliary pawns still need to be paid salaries. After this reduction and increase, the consumption of military salaries has increased instead.

This is still the case of poor countries.Taking Shishuai as an example, the monthly salary is only 150 min and 20 shi, which is really shabby.

So far, the largest expenditure of the Han Dynasty government is the cost of raising officials and soldiers.Funds and expenditures are still in a state of tight balance.

The imperial court was struggling, so it basically acquiesced in the attitude of honorable officials and their own property, even if the situation of using power for personal gain has become the norm.

After receiving Liu Chengyou's reply, the others were quite calm, while Wang Zhang's face was clearly pained, and his bitterness seemed to increase a bit.However, for a long time, Wang Zhang has rarely given discounts in terms of raising the army.

"How is the morale of the army recently?" Liu Chengyou asked, looking at Shang Hongqian and Bai Wenke.

Bai Wenke bowed steadily, and said good things: "This time the army is organized, His Majesty has thought carefully and prepared properly. All the soldiers know His Majesty's love for soldiers, and you have worked diligently to comfort and implement them. Therefore, the army's morale is still stable?"

"How about resentment for the soldiers who have been eliminated?"

"The imperial court has arranged everything properly, so how can there be any complaints?" Bai Wenke responded.

After the words fell, Shang Hongqian smiled and assured Liu Chengyou: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister has already sent the message. If anyone is not convinced, come to find the minister, and he will be convinced!"

In response to Shang Hongqian's statement, Liu Chengyou grinned slightly.His expression was as usual, he thought for a moment, and said to several people: "This time the army has been reorganized, you have worked hard, I will remember it in my heart, and after the work is over, I will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's all done by the ministers." Guo Wei bowed, with a tired expression, still respectful.

"Ninety-ninety people travel hundreds of miles. Although the army's affairs are stable at the moment, we must not be negligent when we continue with the matter!" Liu Chengyou warned again.

"As ordered!"

One sentence ended the imperial meeting, and Liu Chengyou left Wang Zhang to consult with him on autumn tax matters.According to his previous edict, the autumn tax has been collected since the beginning of October, and now it is halfway through November.The states in the Central Plains, especially Gyeonggi Prefecture, have successively sent some money and food to Tokyo, and more will be delivered after the spring.

The imperial court was impoverished, so it paid special attention to money and food.After discussing with Wang Zhang for a long time, the two of them once again figured out a policy. In order to relieve the labor of grain transportation in each state, the imperial court set up transshipment envoys in each state to specialize in the transfer of summer and autumn grain in each state, and coordinate the dispatch. , save manpower and improve efficiency.

As always, it will be implemented from Gyeonggi prefectures and counties with a high degree of imperial control.Up to now, basically, any new policies and decrees of the imperial court are tried out in Gyeonggi prefectures and counties first to see the effect. This has become a political habit of Liu Chengyou.

After Wang Zhang left, Liu Chengyou picked up another roster and looked at it seriously, with a look of expectation on his face, as if he felt at ease.This is the list of the generals and schools of the Dianqian Division and the Guards Division, involving the generals and schools who have been transferred so far. In the final analysis, the core action of this army reorganization is the promotion and appointment of these mid-level and lower-level officers.

The names of Sun Li, Xiang Xun, Han Tong, Ma Quanyi, and Li Chongju came into view one by one, enough to make Liu Chengyou feel at ease.Supplemented by military academies such as Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Yanjin, and Wang Hanlun.

Among the armies of the two yamen, Liu Chengyou saw more familiar and unfamiliar names, all of whom were among the low-level officers, such as Han Lingkun and Wang Shenqi. a process.

Of course, even if young generals are vigorously promoted, the army will not have the final say in a short period of time.For those heroes and veterans, Liu Chengyou is not completely suppressed, especially those famous generals who are in their prime, who have gone through the battlefield, or are brave or talented, they are still reused.

People like Wang Quanbin, Wang Yanchao, Shi Yanchao, Wang Yin, Du Hanhui, Wang Yansheng, Bai Yanyu, Guo Chong, and Zhao Hongyin will still be the backbone of the Han Imperial Army for a long time to come.

In the afternoon, he was rarely lazy and did not stay in the palace to get rid of the tedious government affairs. Liu Chengyou greeted the servants and followed him out of the palace for a walk.

Didn't go far, just around the Chui Gong Temple.Although the Bian Palace is not large in scale, the palaces and towers are less luxurious.Standing among the people, you can see everywhere, there are many shadows in the palace, there is such a trance, Liu Chengyou suddenly feels the humbleness and insignificance of the emperor.

Speaking of which, Liu Chengyou is still not very familiar with the entire Bian Palace. Since he succeeded to the throne, his scope of activities has always been those palaces, and he rarely even went to the garden in the palace.If you let him wander around the palace alone, he will definitely get lost.

It's the middle of winter, the winter moon is in full swing, and the weather is getting colder. The winter scenery around the palace is really not that good, especially if you are tired of looking at it.

Breathing steam into the palm of his hand, Liu Chengyou huddled under the fur robe he had worn for a month and a half, and turned his head to glance at the arch.Under the frosty and cold sky, shrouded in mist, but clearly visible, the solemn palace does not have gorgeous decorations, but it smells of disrepair.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chengyou suddenly became interested, pointed at the palace, and said with "emotional" emotion: "I don't think the palace is gorgeous, but I am proud of its simplicity!"

Hearing his emotion, Zhang Dejun, who was waiting by his side, immediately stepped forward and flattered: "The frugality of the officials has long been famous in the government and the public, and the citizens of Tokyo are all praising the officials for their sageness and benevolence!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou immediately asked: "You have also lived in the palace for a long time, serving the imperial court, where did you hear the words of the market?"

Zhang Dejun was taken aback, he just took the opportunity to cater to the emperor, he didn't know that Liu Chengyou's reaction was so serious, he hesitated a bit, and gave a slightly more reasonable answer: "I have heard about all the officials I met, and discussed it in private."

Liu Chengyou smiled playfully, but let him go, and he felt a little better.Although his frugality can't be said to be completely sincere, but as the emperor, he has "suffered" himself so much. If he can't win a good reputation, it will be too bad.

In fact, there is no barrier between Bian Palace and Tokyo market, and news from the palace is occasionally spread.Thanks to the good publicity, the people praised Liu Chengyou a lot, and the character of the Holy Master Mingjun has almost been established.

Seeing that Liu Chengyou didn't delve into it, Zhang Dejun was also relieved. He was afraid that the official would come to ask again suddenly, because he had heard from those officials.

"It's almost the winter solstice!" Suddenly, Liu Chengyou asked.

"It's five days before we go back to the official's house, and the winter solstice will come!" Zhang Dejun hurriedly replied.

"This year's winter solstice, I will have fun with the people!" Liu Chengyou said.

In this era, the solar term of the winter solstice is very important, and the people in the court and the people celebrate and come and go, just like the New Year's Day.

　The imperial army has been streamlined to this point, why do people still find it cumbersome?You can look at the military system of the Later Zhou Dynasty, how many large and small numbers of troops there are under the Dianqian Si cavalry and the crane control armies
