The general of the little doctor in space comes to farm

Chapter 1977
After this little episode, the emperor's mood became even worse. There are so many capable people in Dazhou, firecrackers have always existed, why no one would have thought of it?
In particular, none of the officials and craftsmen in the Equipment Department of the Ministry of War who are responsible for the development of weapons unexpectedly thought that it was actually a little girl who came up with the production method.

Da Zhou's god arm crossbows and firearms were all made by the Xiliang princess, and he, the emperor, felt ashamed.

Such a powerful woman, it would have been great if she and Lao Qi had been brought together in the first place, but it would have made the Feng family cheaper.

Then they continued to discuss business matters, because many soldiers were killed and injured in the battle with the dog army, and they had to find a way to make up for it, otherwise it would be very difficult to deal with the next war.

When the emperor threw the question to Ye Haotian, the latter replied: "My minister thinks that we should first adopt the decree to recuperate and recuperate, and not compete for new soldiers for the time being."

The emperor frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did the prince answer like this?"

The emperor suppressed his anger, and said in the belly, don't new recruits come to step up training, and we will rely on you, the future emperor, to fight the enemy together in future wars?
"Returning to the words of the father, I believe that in recent years, Quanrong and Dongying will not provoke wars. Our Dazhou was hurt, and they also suffered heavy losses. At that time, their strength was weakened. Even if there is a conflict, everyone's The strength is comparable.

Secondly, in the battle against the dog army, we have lowered the age of conscription by two years, and most of the males have already been conscripted. If we conscript again at this time, the conscripts should still be children, and they come to hold the bow They can't be pulled away, and the long-tasseled spear can't be moved, and they need to spend military pay and rations, which doesn't play a big role.

Furthermore, the slightly older men in the people's homes were requisitioned, and only the old, weak, women, children, and young children were left in the family. Is it feasible to rely on them alone to grow crops?
After the war, the national treasury was empty. If the common people could not grow crops well, what would they use to pay taxes?The people couldn't pay the taxes, where did the court get food to feed the soldiers?Where do military salaries and official salaries come from?

The minister believes that there is no need for conscription for the time being, and the tax will be reduced, so that the common people can recuperate for a year or two and recover their vitality before conscription and restoration of tax collection points. "

The emperor does not deny that Ye Haotian's opinion has some truth. He originally planned to lower the tax collection point, and he usually rests with the people after the war.

"There are merits in the emperor's proposal, but some aspects are poorly considered. For example, conscription is imperative. Do you think that if Quan Rong loses the Great Zhou, he can rest easy?
You will be enthroned soon, so don't be too naive when thinking about things. Don't forget that there are still countries like Dongshu and Nanli eyeing you. Who doesn't want a piece of the action?

I tell you that the friendly relations between countries will be broken at any time because of interests, and they will not let go of the fertile land because of a certain person. Anyone may become the oriole, or there may be a few orioles waiting opportunity.

You want to rest and recuperate, and you want to lighten the burden for the common people, so you have to consider whether others will give you a chance to breathe. You have also planted corn and sweet potatoes with Chang Gengbo. The children and women in the common people’s families you have seen are different Do you do farm work?
Therefore, the problem of taxation is not a big problem. I also intend to lower the collection point. Those who are conscripted should train early and prepare early. It will be more useful than recruiting soldiers temporarily. The recruited soldiers don’t have to be kept for nothing. In addition to the necessary training, Let them help the common people with farm work. "
