Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 618
Leap April [-]th, Grain Grain solar term, the wheat around Luoyang has been harvested, and there is a happy atmosphere everywhere.On the streets of Luoyang, there are many more vendors selling new wheat.Regardless of whether they are selling steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, or all kinds of food, they all hang a "New Wheat" flag in front of the vendors.Adults and children all gathered in front of these stalls, bought a few steamed buns, and tasted this year's new wheat.

In Luoyang City, there are obviously many more officers.They watched and played around, and the city became much more lively.

After the great victory in Shanzhou, the war was over, and Wang Xiaolie finally decided to convene the meeting of the whole army's jurisdiction and capital supervision that had been postponed before the war.These military officers were the prison officers who came from all over the country, and looked at the ancient city of Luoyang curiously.

In Henan Fuya, Wang Ruohai said to Wang Xiaolie: "Judging from this battle, most of the military commanders did not understand the responsibilities of their official positions. Either they interfered with the military command of the commander of the army, or they were suppressed by the commander of the army. However, matters in the army are still decided by the commanding officer. Those who can really take responsibility are very few."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Normal. This is a newly established position. Everyone is not familiar with it. It's not just a problem with the prison guards. The soldiers below are not familiar with this position, so they don't know how to treat them. Either use Take your time, and change bit by bit over time. Either use strong medicine, give the capital prison more power, or even restrain the commanders, and everyone will know them."

Wang Ruohai said with a smile: "In the Tang Dynasty, the supervising army was set up, which was to use strong medicine. As a result, the supervising army soon seized power and surpassed the commander of the army. All these officials were supervised. They were all supervising troops in the first place. How did they do it?" Become a commanding officer in one step?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, that's why I have always advocated not to use strong medicine, but to change bit by bit. The biggest obstacle to doing so is the lack of qualified talents, and the effect is very slow. Therefore, these official positions must be fast forwarded and fast. Boldly employ people, and eliminate unqualified personnel in time, so that talents can be selected in the shortest time."

Wang Ruohai sighed: "Jie Shuai's doing this can indeed select talents in the shortest time. But fast in and fast out, officials are unstable, and there are indeed disadvantages. It is still necessary to give officials a certain term of office, and don't let them go too far. panic."

Wang Xiaohun nodded, but did not speak.

The army is newly formed and rapidly expanding, so it is bound to face a shortage of officers.A large number of officers were pushed to positions for various reasons, which were actually not suitable.Wang Xiaolie's method is to not be so strict when appointing, and then eliminate a large number of them during drills and actual combat.This method, Wang Xiaolie called fast in and fast out.After the big waves wash the sand, the last remaining officials are basically suitable for the requirements.

Less than half of the officers appointed when Xiangyang expanded its army are still in office, and most of them have been eliminated.Therefore, when fighting the Jin army, the performance of the officers was still qualified.Now if you want to double the size of the army in a short period of time, you must still face the same problem.

How to do?In fact, there is no way.The fastest way to achieve results is to lower the requirements, appoint a large number of officials, and then test it in practice.This situation can only be changed when the military academy is established and can output talents stably.

The officers of the Forbidden Army in the Northern Song Dynasty mainly came from three sources.One is promotion due to military merits on the battlefield, and the other is Zhubanzhi, and the places where the children of bow horses are located.Although there are martial arts, the proportion of martial arts officials is very small.These three promotion channels have also been perfected after many years.Wang Xiaolie didn't have time, and the current situation didn't allow him to take his time.In extraordinary times, with extraordinary means, now we can only be eclectic.

After reading the official document on the table, Wang Xiaolie said: "Yu Huan is in charge of the farm work. From now on, the farm work will not be the same as before. After the Jingkang Rebellion, there are a lot of idle fields in the Central Plains. I plan to raise some of these idle fields. People cultivate and cultivate, and part of it is handed over to the camp field. Our camp field is different from other counties. Instead of recruiting people, we use the army's management method. Most of the fields have to be cultivated and harvested together. The harvested grain , some of them will be handed over to the public, some will be kept by the villages, and some will be given to the villagers. I think the proportion of the three should be evenly distributed."

Wang Ruohai said: "The folks hire people to plow the fields. After tax, the host family and the Hakka share equally. If the three are divided equally, wouldn't the people who plow the fields get less?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "It can't be calculated in this way. If it is a folk, the food left by the owner's family has nothing to do with the farmers. The food left in each village is different. The farmers still have a share, and the villagers can all benefit. .”

Wang Ruohai thought for a while before saying, "What's the use of leaving so much food in the village?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "One is that if the government needs it, they can buy it from the village. Because it is the food in the village, it is much more convenient than buying it from the people. Another thing, if there is something in the village, such as repairing canals and paving roads, you can use these grains to make food. Ben. With these capitals, it is much better than collecting money from the villagers whenever something happens."

Wang Ruohai shook his head: "Jieshuai, what you said makes sense. But I think it's too much to leave one-third of the grain in the village. Thirty percent of the tax is already heavier than ordinary people. If you pay another [-] percent to the village, who will pay more? Will you still go to farm work?"

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while.Said: "That's what the councilor said."

In a normal society without wars, natural disasters and man-made disasters, generally one-third of the customers do not have land, [-]% are wealthy households, and the remaining [-]% are landed but not so easy lives.

Wang Xiaolie's positioning of the life of the people in the field is the middle and upper class of [-]% of ordinary people in a normal society.The allocation of their fields and harvest must conform to this principle.There should be no very poor or very rich families in the villages engaged in farming.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "It's better to make a concession like this. In the villages engaged in farm work, [-]% of the grain harvested will be paid to the government, the village will keep [-]%, and the common people will share the remaining [-]%. The folks in the private servant fields are poor."

Wang Ruohai said: "That's okay. However, the people in the field work are not better off than ordinary people."

Wang Xiaolie said: "How could it be? They just hand over the grain like this, and the output of other lands are all in their own hands! What I mean is that in general farming villages, each household is allocated [-] mu of land. The [-] mu is public land, and the grain produced is distributed according to what I just said. The remaining [-] mu of land is distributed to each household. The [-] mu of land allocated to farmers is generally not used for growing grain, but for growing mulberry and so on. All the money earned from these lands will go to the farmers!"

Wang Ruohai couldn't help laughing and said, "If that's the case, what the common people get can't just be counted as food. That is, the public grain, the village and the common people share [-]% of each share, and the common people are willing. Twenty acres of land, one Make a lot of money every year!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Yes, it's quite a lot of money a year. A family of [-] mu of land grows grain. If it's all good land, one mu can produce two stones. Even if it's divided into [-]%, there are still twenty stones. One household For five people, the average annual ration for each person is four shi, which is enough to eat."

Wang Ruohai said: "There are old and young people, and there are more than five people in a family."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I originally thought that if the rations were insufficient, I would plant them from my 35 mu of land. But if I leave [-]% for them, [-] shi, it will be enough for a family. The rest Twenty acres of land can guarantee that they still have money to spend."

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was serious, Wang Ruohai asked, "These are not big things, why should Commander Jie be so serious?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The army is coming in and out, and it faces the problem of where to go for a person who quits. Farming is not only about growing food, but also the main place for people who have withdrawn from the army. A village of fifty households can house one It's all over."

Wang Ruohai thought for a while, then nodded.Said: "If Shuai Jie arranges it like this, it makes sense."

If an unsuitable person is elected as an official, it must be cleaned up in time.These people who have been cleared out cannot let go of them, and their lives must be arranged.It is not possible to arrange idle jobs, and white-collar salaries are the most suitable places to count farm work.
