Chapter 852 The Guards Disappeared
Empress Xu smiled and looked at Yu Qian carefully, with bright eyes and white teeth, and calm demeanor. Although she was in the imperial prison, she was calm and composed. At a young age, she was as good as a general. It was amazing!
"Your matters this time are too reckless, I want to reward you very much."
Several people around him almost fainted after hearing the queen's words... You are not old yet, so you can't be confused! You have done something wrong and you have to reward them heavily. What should you do if you do it right?
Queen Xu didn't care about this and continued to laugh: "What are your plans? I will help you with anything that can be helped. By the way... and they, everyone works together, just say it."
Seeing Empress Xu sincerely, Yu Qian was silent for a while and finally said, "Master has always said that the so-called science includes natural science and social science. The second brother inherited the master's natural science and technology. As for social science, it is something I care more about... the rise and fall of all dynasties, national governance, people's livelihood economy, and even medical education... how these things should be implemented, what should the court make, and what should be based on. There should be a set of standards."
Yu Qian paused and said, "Now that the equalization of land, tax system and military system have been reformed most of the time. If we go further, things will be extremely complicated. Even if the master said that it is impossible to govern the world with a few people alone. We must concentrate the knowledgeable people in the world and work together. As a disciple, I want to do my best to gather like-minded people to truly study some things, even if it is just a reference."
Empress Xu listened patiently. She had just found the direction from Liu Chun and her younger sister not long ago. She was preparing to work hard in public health to protect the health of the people of Daming.
Listening to Yu Qian's words, this matter is within his research scope.
This made Empress Xu overjoyed.
"What are you going to do, don't have some ideas?"
"Yes, I plan to conduct a thorough census again and again." Yu Qian said: "Tering troops to fight is to know yourself and your enemy, live at home, and also to figure out the family's background... To govern a country, you must also be clear about how many people there are and how the people are in the state..."
"Take the simplest example, how many people are there, how many cities are there, how many rural areas are there, how many farmers are there, how many merchants are there, how many literate craftsmen are there, how many illiterate people are there, how many men are there, how many women are there, how many people live, how much population increases every year, how much survival rate is there for newborns..."
Yu Qian said dozens of things in one breath. Everyone present could barely figure out the total population, and it was estimated that the other content was completely blank.
If you don’t know anything, how to formulate national policies and how to govern the world... Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi nodded frequently, "My junior brother is really far-sighted. These things are indeed too important. I will definitely help you with all my strength."
Zhu Gaochi slapped his chest, but unfortunately no one took him seriously. A prince who wanted no one and had no money, should he stand aside!
Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "Junior brother, I will raise you three million in startup funds. As for the place..." He glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "Second brother, how are you doing this?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded without hesitation, "No problem, I still have an open space next to the research institute, I just need to hand it over to my junior brother."
Before Yu Qian could thank him, Zhu Gaosui shook his head and shouted strangely: "Second brother, that piece of land is not as big as one tenth of your research association, can you take advantage of it?"
Zhu Gaoxu was anxious, "What are you talking about? Don't you know there is a steel factory next to you? Because it is going to expand the scale, it has moved to Tianjin as a whole. I bought the factory area and gave it to my junior brother. Is this okay?"
Zhu Gaosui was finally satisfied, "Then you have to remember to pay for the money and rebuild the house!"
"You say it!" Zhu Gaoxu glared at the third brother fiercely. This boy was getting more and more drifting.
After a few words, there was money and place. Yu Qian was overjoyed, but he was still calm, "Senior brother, don't demolish the factory area. I will build the research institute according to the factory model. Our research is based on industrial civilization, and it is appropriate to use the old factory!"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed happily, "Okay, that's great! It seems that my junior brother has been planning for more than a day or two. Don't worry, as long as we brothers want to accomplish, there is nothing we can't do! Hahaha!"
In the imperial prison, there were laughter and joy, and talks... it was not like imperial prison, but it had the flavor of court.
Xu Miaoyun was very satisfied. She saw Zhu Zhanji at first sight. Although this kid was annoying, he was his own grandson after all.
"You just serve Yu Qian as a deputy, learn how to do things, and you can really take out something, otherwise don't say that your grandfather is angry, even I can't spare you!"
Zhu Zhanji agreed, unfortunately, he was once again trapped in fear of being dominated by Yu Qian. Can't this shadow be shaken off?
Empress Xu could not stay in prison for too long. She just made Yu Qian feel at ease and there was no trouble. Empress Xu left, and the others left one after another.
Zhu Gaosui stayed behind, and he said, "Junior brother, your skills are so smart! Although the Sun family's father and daughter are dead, everyone is in danger. Pengcheng's uncle Zhang Qi was frightened and was going to beg for mercy at his master!" Zhu Gaosui smiled and said, "He is the eldest brother's father-in-law. I guess the master will not do anything to him, but in my opinion, he should not beg for trouble anymore. Not only him, but the other nobles, will be in trouble this time."
Zhu Gaosui was so happy that Yu Qian was shocked. Is his actions really that powerful?
In fact, many things are already in a natural stage, but there is a stone blocking it, passing by the Sun family’s father and son.
Zhang Qi, the boss of Pengcheng, completely surrendered. He was gray-haired and dragged his sick body to meet Liu Chun.
He is not stupid either. The royal family is a solid piece and there is a legendary list. If he doesn't bow his head, he may even have his life in it.
"Tai Shi, I really have no other intentions, and I dare not form cliques for personal gain. It's just that some friends gather together, drink some wine, and chat... As for the change of the military system, I have even more support. Sun Zhong was completely clever. He instigated everywhere and had a bad character. I was deceived by him back then. Who knew that he had raised a white-eyed wolf. I regretted it so much, cough cough..."
Zhang Qi was anxious and his old face turned red with coughing.
Liu Chun smiled with a smile on his face. Zhang Qi was not smart enough to blame the dead, but it was just a helpless move. Liu Chun smiled indifferently, "Boy Peng Cheng, are you the commander of the Beijing Guard? You must have a lot of insights into the reform of the military system. I wonder if you can talk about your views?"
Zhang Qi paused for a moment, his opinion, does my opinion matter?
He quickly understood what Liu Chun meant and hurriedly said, "Tai Shi, when the late emperor set up a garrison, it was necessary to garrison people in a dangerous place in the pass. After all, the world was settled at the beginning, and people were in panic and stationed more troops, which could intimidate people's hearts and shock the little ones. Now, our Ming Dynasty has been established for almost fifty years, and the people live and work in peace and prosperity, and the world is fine. Moreover, the army uses firearms, the soldiers have strong combat power, and the equipment is expensive... I think that the next adjustment seems to be in the direction of few and elite, and the garrisons guarding a place should be abolished..."
Zhang Qi said, looking at Liu Chun's face. Sure enough, a gratified smile appeared on the Grand Master's face. Zhang Qi shook his head secretly. He was not willing, but there was no way. If he didn't say that, he would really be killed.
"Tai Shi, I think that since I want to abolish the garrison, it is better to start with the Beijing Guard. After all, the strength of the imperial guards is enough to protect the safety of the capital."
Liu Chun finally spoke, and he smiled very comfortably.
"After all, I am an old corps of many years, and my knowledge is really extraordinary. I plan to integrate the garrison stations and adjust some garrison stations with large numbers and strong combat power into regiments. The second-level battalion is used as a battalion, and the second-level one is the second-level one, so I might as well completely lay off... Overall, after this adjustment, the total strength of the Ming Dynasty must be maintained at around 500,000. Among them, the 100,000 naval troops are among the 400,000, and the imperial guards are 250,000. These 250,000 must be able to be pulled out to fight at any time. This is the lifeblood of Your Majesty. The remaining 150,000 are the garrison troops from all over the country to protect the safety of the Ming Dynasty."
Liu Chun did not reserve any reservations and expressed the entire reform plan.
This time the reform is absolutely thorough and the intensity is absolutely unprecedented.
Although Zhu Di also adjusted the three armies after seizing Yingtian and ascending the throne and becoming emperor, the garrisons had not been completely abolished at that time, but this time it was not the case. All the garrisons, including the nine sides, were wiped out.
The original hereditary military officers, such as commander, commander, thousand households, and hundreds of households... were all expelled. Note that these officials are all hereditary military officers. In other words, after I became my son, my son died, my grandson took over, and my descendants were endless... Conservatively estimated, there are more than 3,000 people who have lost their positions and power, and there may even be 5,000 people.
The military households to be cut off will have more than 500,000 people and as many as one million families involved.
Therefore, even Liu Chun must be careful. If you are not careful, the sky will collapse and the earth will become a mess.
"Boy Pengcheng, look at the matter of abolishing the garrison. Can you take the lead first? I will invite all the Dukes, Marquis and Generals to Wenyuan Pavilion to discuss matters, and truly implement the military system reform..."
Liu Chun smiled at Zhang Qi, "Peng Cheng Bo is the father of the Crown Princess, and this matter is of great benefit to the royal family. Your Majesty has been in power for many years, so everyone is in love with him. But the Crown Prince is not as good as Your Majesty. Only by adjusting the military system and Your Highness ascends the throne in the future can you be instructed like an arm. Peng Cheng Bo, if you can accomplish this, it will be a good thing to Your Highness and the Crown Princess, what do you think?"
Zhang Qi's heart was trembling as he listened to Liu Chun's words.
Liu Chun is really cruel. Not only should he reform the generals, but he would not even let go of all the garrisons. No wonder the warriors strongly opposed it. It’s a pity that the matter is now, it’s useless to oppose it!
It is good to the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a good thing for our Zhang family and other families!
