Chapter 92 Strategy
What Gao Cheng said made Gao Longzhi's expression change drastically.

It is true that he believes in Buddhism, but he really cares about his own future, and it is clear at a glance which is more important.

"Also please teach me bluntly, today's kindness, Longzhi will never forget."

Gao Cheng originally wanted to help Gao Longzhi, but ever since Cui Jishu punched Yuanbaoju three times in his place on behalf of Gao Longzhi, his relationship with Gao Longzhi has become closer.

Er Zhuying'e rescued Gao Long's family from Gao Gan and Li Yuanzhong, and made Gao Longzhi grateful to Gao Cheng and his wife.

This person must be protected. If Gao Huan withdraws Gao Longzhi and exchanges for Liu Gui, it will be a headache.

"This is not a place to do business."

Standing outside the gate of the mansion, Gao Cheng said with a relaxed expression, as if he had already planned.

Gao Longzhi is very confident in Little Gao Wang's intelligence. Seeing his well-thought-out appearance, his tense heartstrings are relaxed:
"I also invite the son to follow me into the mansion."

The two discussed in the mansion for a long time before Gao Cheng left and was sent out of the mansion by Gao Longzhi.

There was a guard holding the lamp in front, and Gao Cheng and Gao Jishi were chatting about business. His identity meant that he couldn't go out alone like a child of the Heing family.

And the lesson learned from the assassination of the original owner also made Gao Cheng eager to form his own guard after Gao Huan rose to power, and he had to accompany him every time he traveled to protect him.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, the guard suffered heavy losses, and it was imminent to replenish manpower. After careful consideration, Gao Cheng finally decided to hand over to Gao Jishi to select 400 men from the Han army.

After this incident, Gao Jishi will also step down as the trusted governor and lead [-] troops in the Gyeonggi Army.

Candidates for the trusted governor should also start to be considered. Not only that, Sun Wei and Chen Yuankang were transferred to Jinyang successively, and Yang Min was released to control East Jingzhou for him.

Cui Jishu and Zhao Yanshen were the only effective aides around him. One was planning for disadvantages, and everyone was considering for advantages. Gao Cheng always figured out solutions by himself, and Gao Cheng couldn't tell whether he was the superior or an aide.

It's time to expand the team of staff, Gao Cheng put his idea on his uncle Gao Chen.

Back in the mansion, Gao Cheng finally released Gao Jishi and went back to rest. He didn't go to see the three beautiful concubines, and went straight to the study to sit alone.

"Father, how are you?"How is the mother and concubine?Cheng'an is good.

After the Battle of Xiangyang, Cheng thought hard day and night, how to completely put an end to the private looting by his troops.

After many visits, Cheng believed that the poverty of soldiers was the root cause of frequent looting. Rectifying military discipline and blindly punishing harsh laws might have a short-term effect, but it is not a long-term calculation after all.

Cheng thought that military pay should be set up to distribute money and food to the soldiers. Nowadays, most of the armies are private divisions of generals. If the military pay is paid in the name of the Bohai Palace, it can also change the pattern of soldiers. '

Cheng Cheng dare not say anything about the amount of military pay, but please let the father be dictatorial. '

After writing here, Gao Cheng paused briefly.

The root cause of the prevalence of looting in the Northern Wei Dynasty was the problem of money.

Daowu Emperor Tuoba Gui established the Wei State until the eighth year of Emperor Xiaowen Taihe. For nearly a hundred years, there was no mature salary system at all. Not to mention soldiers, even officials could not receive salaries.

During this period, the Northern Wei Dynasty pursued the Banci system, that is, after the emperor personally conquered, the materials obtained were distributed to the soldiers.

It is precisely because of the Banci system that the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was thoroughly plundered. Those with better military discipline could still be restrained, while those with poor military discipline, such as the experiences of Cui Yanbo and Gao Cheng, are clear evidence.

After Empress Dowager Feng came to power, the Northern Wei Dynasty began the process of Sinicization, and the main body of governing the country was changed from military generals to civilian officials. Row.

A hundred years after the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, civil servants finally had a stable salary income, but this was the welfare of officials, and soldiers at the bottom still relied on looting in wars to make ends meet.

Gao Cheng believes that Gao Huan will definitely be tempted to change the nature of the military's private operations with the conspiracy of distributing military salaries. Even if a smart person sees through the mystery, he can only helplessly accept this reality. After all, the command of the army is still in his hands for the time being. .

Who would dare to face the anger of the soldiers if they opposed the payment of military salaries.

The phenomenon of Gao's group soldiers being generals is very serious. Only Gao Cheng's Gyeonggi Army, Gao Aocao's [-] Han Army, and Yaoxiong's [-] Hebei Army are all private soldiers.

However, Hou Jing and He Basheng moved to the town, but accompanied them with their trilogy, which is actually a manifestation of the military's will.

The surnames of these soldiers are Hou and He Ba, but they will never be surnamed Gao.

Now there is only one question left, where does the military salary come from?

Gao Cheng picked up the pen and continued to write on the paper:
'Since Empress Dowager Feng, Buddhism has been highly praised. In the first year of Emperor Xiaoming's Shengui (518), Luoyang temples and temples occupied as many as one-third of the houses.

'As far as the Heyin incident, the courtiers died, and most of their houses and manors were donated to the temple by their families.

'These monasteries occupy a large amount of land, and the monks and nuns do not do production themselves, so they drive poor farmers to cultivate, but they are exempted from taxes and corvees, resulting in a shortage of government expenses.

Cheng thought that the Great Wei worshiped Buddha, and that money was used for Buddha, while the Gao family should suppress Buddha, and money was taken from Buddha.

'Why not use monastery money and food to support Gao's soldiers?Please preside over the matter of suppressing Buddha.

"Emperor Daowu was in trouble because of the hidden weapons in the temple. Cheng ordered the servant Gao Long to build a new temple. The weapons and armor could be easily hidden in it, imitating the wisdom of the predecessors.

At the same time, Cheng will assign spies to investigate the evil deeds of monks and nuns, and publish a list to prevent the world's material opinions from being imposed on the father.

"Even if there are criticisms, Cheng is willing to bear them on his shoulders.

’ This matter is very important, and Cheng dare not neglect it, but Cheng is busy in the battle, and there are many vacancies in the shogunate to wait for talents.

"Uncle opened a mansion to consult with Cui Siam. It is better to promote talents, and he has many talents. The child begged his father to ask him for his son, so as to help Cheng to share his father's worries.

Chengbai kowtowed, wishing his father to be in good health and achieve the great cause of the late Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty. '

Gao Cheng picked up the letter paper and examined it carefully. Although the words were ugly, the content said everything that should be said. He not only helped Gao Longzhi to excuse, but even asked Cui Xian himself.

As for receiving criticism, it can only be him, Gao Huan is a person who likes to put on a red face all his life, so this person who offends people with a bad face can only fall on Gao Cheng's head.

It doesn't matter, Xiao Gao Wang is temporarily afraid to thoroughly check the fields and count the population, for fear of touching the interests of the powerful and powerful, and affecting the foundation of the Gao family, but he is only worried about a group of monks and nuns.

Of course Gao Cheng can't do things like bullying the good and fearing the evil, but the problem is, you monks and nuns can't be called good.

As for Hao Qiang, it won't be long before this matter is done. Once this matter is completed, the Kwantung Army will become the Gao family's private soldiers, and King Gao will implement strict soil rules. I think everyone will support it.

This secret letter was of great importance, and he did not dare to send a messenger like before. After careful consideration, Gao Cheng still chose his cousin, Duan Shao.

 Starting tomorrow, a chapter of [-] words will be published together, because there are indeed more manuscripts.
