My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 206 The Daughter of Hundred Gold
In the past, Xu Jingchang really had no goals, and he didn't even think about it seriously. It was just that Zhu Di raised it suddenly, and then his aunt and fat man Zhu made a fuss.

But today, a talented girl from the south of the Yangtze River who is highly respected by others is not as good as the ordinary girls who are laughing and laughing with her. This makes Xu Jingchang feel like he is in the blessings and does not know the blessings... It's just that she looks like a daughter of Huang Guan, and she is not an ordinary girl. !

Thinking about it this way, Xu Jingchang made more calculations. In comparison, Xia Yuanji is a minister, and Huang Guan is also a minister. Xia Yuanji has a lot of power in the court, but Huang Guan has a lot of prestige in Shilin. of.

The two sides are completely evenly matched, and the rest depends on what happens to the two girls...

Xu Jingchang's mind moved.My mind turned very quickly, "Xia Shangshu, after this meal, the two of us will discuss how to abolish the guard. What do you think of a recorder next to me?"

Xia Yuanji is so shrewd. Seeing Xu Jingchang looking at his niece, he smiled, "Okay, let my niece come. She is proficient in writing and calligraphy, and she is responsible for copying Buddhist scriptures at home."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Then there will be Miss Laoxia."

Afterwards, Xu Jingchang stood up and brought out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. Naturally, the things that the Xu Mansion could produce were not ordinary.

Xia Yuanji was even more secretly happy, is this a gift by writing?

This kid is quite scheming.

After eating something, they chatted.

"Xia Shangshu, the guards that will be abolished this time are mainly in the Central Military Commander's Mansion, the Left Army Commander's Mansion, and the Former Military Commander's Mansion."

The so-called Dudufu of the Five Armies is the collective name of the five Dudufu in the front, back, left, and right.

Among them, the Chinese military governor's mansion is responsible for the areas around Jiangsu and Anhui, guarding the capital... According to the logic, this is the most important part of the guard, but it is a pity that it was also the most thoroughly destroyed in the battle of Jingnan However, the surviving guards are also facing the situation of losing all their land and all military households fleeing.

It is the focus of this abolition.

In addition, the Zuojun Governor's Mansion leads the three capitals of Zhejiang, Shandong, and Liaodong. Among them, the situation in Liaodong is good, but Shandong is the hardest hit area in Jingnan. Needs to be straightened out.

The former military governor's mansion led the four capitals of Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Guangdong. Among them, Jiangxi and Huguang belong to the hinterland and are also grain-producing areas.

With the transformation of rice into mulberry in the south of the Yangtze River and the development of trade, it is necessary to allocate grain from Huguang and Jiangxi...the abolition of guards in these two places, re-inspection of land, and rectification of fiscal and taxation will not only enrich the treasury, but also ensure food security. Heavy hand.

Among the five military governors' mansions, the right army's governor's mansion is in charge of several capitals in the southwest, plus Shaanxi, which are all important border defense areas and cannot be moved.The Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army is in charge of Beiping, Daning, and Shanxi, and it is an important town on the nine borders, and the land of Longxing cannot be moved.

So the focus is on these three.

Xia Yuanji said happily: "With the abolition of these guards, the imperial court can take back tens of millions of mu of fertile land, increase household registration by one million, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, nothing is better than this! This work will benefit the country and benefit the future!"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "What about the guard officer?"

Xia Yuanji was stunned, "Of course it's abolished... I mean the court can't ignore it, give each of them three months' salary, or a year's worth! With money, they won't cause trouble .”

Xu Jingchang gave him a big roll of his eyes, "Old Xia, if it's really abolished like this, Fang Lue will hand it over, and both of our heads will fall to the ground later. You want to die, and this is not the way to die."

Xia Yuanji said with a sullen face: "Mr. Ding, you can't say that. Saving expenses will benefit the country and the people. With His Majesty's support, all insightful people in the government and the opposition will also agree. What are you worried about?"

"What am I worried about? This is the livelihood of tens of thousands of people, and they are all generals leading the army, at least a hundred households... Suddenly cutting off their way of life is forcing them to go up the mountain to become thieves. There are very One of them can turn the Ming Dynasty upside down by picking up a knife and gun, do you know that?"

Xia Yuanji snorted and said, "These guards have been corrupted for a long time, how can they fight? What's more, the imperial court has elite soldiers and strong generals. If someone really rebels, they can send troops to wipe it out. It's as easy as flipping the palm of our hand."

"Against what? Don't forget, those soldiers who are going to be sent to suppress the bandits are also from the guards. Let them go to destroy the robes, the rabbits will die and the fox will be sad, and the things will hurt others. what to do?"

Xu Jingchang was not polite, "What we are discussing today is not how to abolish the guards, but how to arrange the officers and soldiers of the guards and give them reasonable treatment. If this matter is not clarified, the abolition of the guards is empty talk."

Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji, you come and go, the more intense the discussion becomes, the more Miss Xia is holding the pen, she can deal with it calmly at first, but soon she becomes flustered, no matter how fast she moves the pen, she can't stand it... When the time comes In the end, when Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji discussed the specific treatment issue, a series of numbers came out of their mouths, and Miss Xia gave up directly.

Her brow was sweating, she was out of breath, and couldn't help it.

But Ms. Huang, she didn't record it, she just poured tea and stored water. Seeing that Ms. Xia was in a mess, she added a cup of mint tea to calm her down.

What their men are arguing about has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to make things difficult for ourselves.

Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji reached the end of the discussion, and both sides also had a showdown... Xu Jingchang demanded the establishment of martial arts immediately, and asked the generals of the guard, including their children, to enter Beijing immediately... The imperial court expanded the [-] Beijing battalion, and all passed Examinations, qualified generals, filled into the forbidden army, double salary.

Those who are unqualified will return to their hometowns, but the imperial court will pay a sum of money to redeem their hereditary official positions... The local government will also provide two small official positions for these people.

The Ministry of Households needs to allocate 1000 million taels for the abolition of guards as a special fund.

Also, the income from the voyage to the West this time must be used to develop martial arts.

In addition, Xu Jingchang asked the local commanders to select strong soldiers from the guards and downsize them into local garrison troops.Those who fail to pass must also be given land in full, so that they can settle down and live, so that they will not be unable to eat.

Moreover, the abolition of the guards and the placement of soldiers should be included in the local assessment, and whoever fails will be dismissed immediately.

"I quit!"

Xia Yuanji directly raised the case, "Mr. Ding, if it is such an elimination plan, the court will spend more money and have a heavier burden. I will withdraw the proposal now. I oppose the elimination of the guards."

Xu Jingchang said: "Xia Shangshu, if you don't do this and something happens, will you be responsible?"

Xia Yuanji said bluntly: "I have seen through it. You abolished the guard in name, but in fact you are still leaning towards warriors. I must write to His Majesty and ask for the holy order!"

Speaking of which, Xia Yuanji got up and said to his niece, "Let's go home."

As if she had been pardoned, Miss Xia hurriedly got up and followed suit, fleeing this terrible place as quickly as possible.

She didn't understand what the two of them were arguing about, and she couldn't have imagined that someone would dare to be harsh with her uncle. He was so fierce, and marrying him would definitely not end well.

This guy doesn't beat his wife, does he?

No, it's terrible, I want to go home!
Miss Xia almost ran away and left from Xu Mansion.

Xu Jingchang sent the two away, shook his head slightly, and when he turned around, Miss Huang was pouring him a cup of tea.

"You're tired from the quarrel, moisten your throat."

Xu Jingchang nodded and asked curiously, "You know what the two of us are arguing about?"

Miss Huang smiled and said, "I can probably understand it, but it's not necessary."

"why?"

"If you're not in your position, you don't plan for your own government. If you can do your job well, that's all."

Xu Jingchang couldn't help but nodded, "Miss Huang really has a good style and a good bearing..."

Miss Huang smiled faintly, "You can't be praised by Duke Ding... It's just that in the past two years, I have seen a lot of subordinates doing things wrong. You are thoughtful, but some people just indulge in enjoyment and don't want to get out of their comfort zone. Ding The Duke has the heart of a bodhisattva, but he must also have the means of thunderbolt, otherwise there will still be troubles."

Xu Jingchang was surprised for a while, and couldn't help sticking out his thumb, "Miss Huang, you obviously heard it very clearly! This insight is really extraordinary. I will write a letter later, suggesting that Your Majesty, assign senior generals in the army to go to various capitals and sit in town Command, avoid trouble."

Miss Huang nodded slightly, "Mr. Ding, if there is nothing else, the little girl will leave."

"and many more."

Xu Jingchang turned around again, took out an exquisite wooden box, and handed it to Miss Huang.

"Look."

Miss Huang opened the box and found that there was also a set of the Four Treasures of the Study inside. Although what Xu Jingchang just brought out was already considered a treasure, this set instantly killed the other set.

The inkstone used by Su Dongpo, the ink used by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and the Chengxintang of Empress Li... Although the pens are not as good, they are also made of high-quality suet white jade.

Miss Huang couldn't help but startled when she saw this, but quickly calmed down, "Mr. Ding, is this thing too expensive?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your father is the chief scholar of the six heads. Putting the four treasures of the study here is a waste of things. Giving it to your family is just commensurate with the scholarly family."

Miss Huang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, accepting it.

Xu Jingchang looked at another set, which was used by Miss Xia, and she ran away without cleaning up.He walked up and looked at the writing on it again.

He was really delicate, but he was obviously flustered behind, and the paper was still stained with sweat... Xu Jingchang sighed slightly, he turned his head and took a copy of the briefing that Miss Huang had written to him in the past few days, and put it in the paper.

Then he ordered: "Wrap up this set of four treasures of the study, and prepare 100 taels of gold, and send it to Xia Mansion, it will be regarded as my reward."

The family agreed and hurried to do it.

Xia Yuanji, who had just been angered, returned to the mansion, and heard that Xu Jingchang had sent him a gift... Lao Xia was quite happy, putting aside business matters, and still had to deal with private matters.

But when he unfolded the gift, he frowned.

What do you mean kid?
She is obviously the daughter of a thousand gold, but you sent a hundred gold, are you looking down on our Xia family?
