On the 15th day of the leap month, it is the Ear Grain Festival. The wheat around Luoyang has been harvested, and there is a happy atmosphere everywhere. There are many vendors selling new wheat on the streets of Luoyang. Whether they are selling steamed buns, steamed buns, or dumplings

For all kinds of food, a "new wheat" flag is hung in front of the stalls. Adults and children gather in front of these stalls, buy a few steamed buns and buns, and try this year's new wheat.

There were obviously many more officers in Luoyang City. They were watching and playing around, and the city was much more lively.

After the great victory in Shaanzhou, the war ended, and Wang Xiaolie finally decided to convene a meeting of the army's generals and governors that had been postponed before the war. These officers, the governors who came from all over the country, looked at the city of Luoyang curiously.

ancient city.

In the Henan government office, Wang Ruohai said to Wang Xiaolie: "Judging from this war, most of the military commanders did not understand the responsibilities of their official positions. They either interfered with the military command of the Henan military commanders, or were suppressed by the military commanders.

, the commander-in-chief still has the final say on matters in the military. There are very few who can truly take responsibility."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's normal. This is a newly created position, and everyone is a little unfamiliar with it, no matter the superior or the subordinate. It's not just a problem for the governors, but the officers below are also not familiar with this position and don't know how to treat them. Either use

Work slowly and change it bit by bit over time. Or use strong drugs to give the governor greater power, and even be able to restrain the commander of the army, and everyone will know them."

Wang Ruohai laughed and said: "In the Tang Dynasty, when the supervisory army was set up, it was just a matter of using strong medicine. As a result, the supervisory army soon took over the power and overrode the commander of the army. All these officials were supervisors. They were originally supervisors. What happened?

To become a military commander in one step?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, that's why I have always advocated not using hard drugs and making changes bit by bit. The biggest obstacle to this is the lack of qualified talents, and the results are very slow. Therefore, these official positions must be advanced quickly.

Employ people boldly, and eliminate unqualified personnel in a timely manner, so that talents can be selected in the shortest possible time.”

Wang Ruohai sighed: "By doing this, the commander-in-chief can indeed select talents in the shortest time. However, fast in and fast out, and officials' hearts are unstable, which does have disadvantages. We still have to give officials a certain term and don't let them go too far.

Terrified."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing.

The army was newly formed and rapidly expanding, so it was bound to face a shortage of officers. A large number of officers were pushed into positions for various reasons and were not actually suitable. Wang Xiaolie's method was to make the appointment less stringent.

Then during drills and actual combat, a large number of officials were eliminated. This method, Wang Xiaolie called it, fast in and fast out. After the big waves wash away the sand, the remaining officials will basically meet the requirements.

Less than half of the officers appointed when Xiangyang expanded the army are still in office, and most of them have been eliminated. Therefore, when fighting the Jin army, the performance of the officers was quite satisfactory. Now I want to double the army in the short term.

You must still face the same problem.

What to do? In fact, there is no way. The quickest way to achieve results is to lower the requirements, appoint a large number of officials, and then test them in practice. Only when military academies are established and can steadily output talents can this situation be changed.

The officers of the Forbidden Army in the Northern Song Dynasty mainly came from three sources. One was those who were promoted due to military merit in battle, and the other was from various Banzhi, and other places such as the disciples of Gongma. Although there were military examinations, the proportion of military examination officials was very small. These three sources

This promotion channel has been perfected over many years. Wang Xiaolie does not have time, and the current situation does not allow for taking it slowly. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means are used, and now he can only use one of the following methods.

After reading the official document on the table, Wang Xiaolie said: "Yu Huan has taken charge of the camp and field affairs. From now on, the affairs of the camp and field affairs cannot be the same as before. After the Jingkang Rebellion, there were a lot of idle fields in the Central Plains. I plan to raise part of these idle fields.

People cultivate and plant, and part of it is handed over to the camp and field affairs. Our camp and field affairs are different from other states and counties. Instead of recruiting people, we use military management methods. Most of the fields must be cultivated and harvested together. The harvested grain

, part of it is handed over to the public, part is retained by each village, and part is given to the villagers. I think the proportion of the three is better to be evenly divided."

Wang Ruohai said: "The people who hire people to farm the fields are divided equally between the host family and the Hakkas after tax. If it is divided equally among the three, wouldn't the people who farm the fields get less?"

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

.”

Wang Ruohai thought for a while and then said: "What's the use of leaving so much food in the village?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "First, if the government needs it, it 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. Secondly, if there is something going on in the village, such as building canals and paving roads, you can use the food to make

Ben. With these funds, it is much better than collecting money from the villagers whenever something happens."

Wang Ruohai shook his head: "Jie Shuai, what you said makes sense. But I think leaving one-third of the food in the village is too much. The tax of 30% is already heavier than that of ordinary people. If another 30% is paid to the village, who will

Are you still going to do field work?"

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said, "That's what the counselor said."

In a normal society without war or natural or man-made disasters, one-third of the customers would be those without land, 10% would be wealthy households, and the remaining 60% would be households with land, but their lives would not be so easy.

Wang Xiaolie's positioning of the life of the people in the field service is that they are the middle and upper class of 60% of ordinary households in normal society. The distribution of their fields and harvests must comply with this principle. There should be no very poor people in the villages in the field service

There are no very rich families.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiaolie said: "Why don't we make a concession like this? In the villages that run the field service, 20% of the harvested grain will be paid to the government, 20% will be kept in the village, and the remaining 60% will be shared by the common people. In this way, it will not be better than

The people working in the private farmland are missing."

Wang Ruohai said: "That's okay. However, the people in the camp and field affairs are not living a better life than ordinary people."

Wang Xiaolie said: "How could it be? They just hand over grain like this, but the output of other land is in their own hands! What I mean is that in ordinary farming villages, each household is allocated fifty acres of land.

Thirty acres of public land is public land, and the grain produced is distributed according to what I just said. The remaining twenty acres of land are distributed to each household. The twenty acres of land allocated to farmers are generally not used to grow grain, but to grow mulberry and hemp.

And so on. All the money earned from these fields will go to the farmers!"

Wang Ruohai couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "If this is the case, what the people get can't just be counted in terms of grain. It is public grain, divided equally between the village and the people, each share is 30%, and the people are also willing. Twenty acres of land, one

Make a lot of money every year!”

Wang Xiaolian said: "Yes, that's a lot of money a year. A household can grow grain on thirty acres of land. If it is all good land, one mu can produce two stones. Even if it is divided into 30%, it will still be twenty stones. One household

For a family of five, the average ration for one person per year is four stones, which is enough to eat."

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

Wang Xiaolie said: "I originally thought that if the rations were insufficient, I would grow them from my own twenty acres of land. But if I leave them 60%, thirty-five stones, one family would be able to eat the rest.

The twenty acres of land they own will ensure that they still have money to spend."

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie was taking it seriously, Wang Ruohai asked: "These are not big things, why should Jieshuai be so serious?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "With the army moving in and out, we are faced with the problem of where to go for the people who have withdrawn. The camp field service is not just about growing food, but it is also the main place for the people who have withdrawn from the army. A village with fifty households can accommodate one

It’s all over my head.”

Wang Ruohai thought for a while, nodded, and said, "If Commander Jie arranges it this way, it makes sense."

If unsuitable people are selected as officials, they must be cleared out in time. These people who are cleared out cannot be left alone, and their lives must be arranged. They cannot be assigned sinecures or white-collar salaries. Places such as camp and field affairs are the most suitable.
