"Set up a military mansion in Jinzhou, and set up a military camp for 100 households. Each military camp will have a leader for 100 households. There will be ten military camps, and one Zhechong captain will be appointed. Each military camp must erect its own wall, and twenty able-bodied men will be selected from each camp.

Military households. Peasants must perform corvee service for the military government for fifteen days every year.

Farmers must pay 20% of their farmland harvest to the military government. Military households are exempted from taxes and corvee service. Military households must train under the leadership of Captain Zhechong for six days every month. During wartime, military households must train under Captain Zhechong.

Under the leadership, quickly go to the military mansion to report...!"

As Li Xiao spoke, the scribe next to him took notes.

Sun Chengzong picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Mao Wenlong: "You are going to restore the imperial military system of the Tang Dynasty, but some changes have been made. Boy, you have to think carefully. If you change the imperial military system without authorization, if the emperor

After Shi Chuan is here, you kid can’t eat anything and is walking around in circles.”

"The government army system is the best system for hiding troops from the people. However, the government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty had to bring their own horses and equipment to fight. The equipment here is provided by the military government. As for the horses, we will talk about it later!" It's not Li.

Xiao Xiao doesn’t want to raise a horse because he has no money. Buying a horse costs money, and raising a horse costs even more money.

Li Xiao is not ready to equip the cavalry on a large scale yet, so it should be fine for the Mongolian knights led by Man Gui to take over for a while.

"The reason why the prosperous Tang Dynasty was strong has a lot to do with the imperial army system. The most powerful period of imperial army was during the Zhenguan rule of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Turks, who were as tyrannical as the Turks, were defeated by the imperial army in Guanzhong. On the grassland

The eagle Jieli had to become a fat pig raised by Taizong.

It was a pity that excessive conquest later led to the collapse of the military system.

Cars rattled, horses rustled, and pedestrians carried bows and arrows at their waists.

The mother-in-law and the wife see each other off, but Xianyang Bridge is nowhere to be seen.

He held his clothes, stamped his feet, and blocked the road to cry, and his cry went up to the sky.

People passing by on the road asked the pedestrians, but the pedestrians were confused.

Or start from Fanghe River in the north of Fifteenth, and then go to Yingtian in Xiyingtian of Fortyth.

When I left, my head was covered with hair, but when I came back, my hair was white and I was still guarding the border.

The side court bled into sea water, and Emperor Wu opened the side court without hesitation.

Don’t you know that there are two hundred states in Shandong of the Han family, and thousands of villages are home to Jingqi?

Even if there are strong women working the hoe and the plow, there will be no crops in the long acres.

Moreover, the Qin soldiers fought hard and were driven away by dogs and chickens.

Although the elders ask questions, the servant dares to express his hatred?

And now this winter, there are still many deaths in Kansai.

The county magistrate is asking for rent urgently. Where will the rent and taxes come from?

I believe that it is evil to have a boy, but it is good to have a girl.

If you give birth to a girl, you still have to marry your neighbor, but if you give birth to a boy, you will have to live with your neighbor.

Don’t you see, Qinghai Tou has no one to collect the bones from ancient times.

New ghosts are annoyed and old ghosts are crying, the sky is dark and rainy, and the wet voice is chirping!

"Mao Wenlong also had some knowledge. After reading what Li Xiao wrote, he began to miss the powerful Tang Dynasty.

When he recited "The Troops and Chariots", his confused eyes seemed to be thinking of the young man he loved.

"The reason why the imperial army system collapsed was that the Tang Dynasty moved too far to the frontier, which resulted in the army soldiers having to guard the border all year round and unable to return home. We don't have such a problem in Liaodong. Liaodong is such a big place and there is no such thing as year-round military service.

"Li Xiao has been thinking about how to establish a new order in Liaodong these days.

Zhu Yuanzhang's military household system has completely collapsed, and the military households of the Ming Dynasty have completely become slaves of the lower-level officers. Not to mention the pride of the soldiers, they don't even have enough to eat. Let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and it doesn't even cost them two dollars.

Running away on one leg?

The military household system of the Tang Dynasty not only had honors awarded by the court, but also had the privilege of not paying taxes and not performing corvee service. In addition, every month, military officials were led by Captain Zhechong for training. In this way, strong combat effectiveness could be maintained for a long time.

The Li Tang Dynasty opened up a huge territory, and the most important contribution was actually the military system.

Now that I'm using it, Li Xiao doesn't have any psychological burden at all. My surname is Li anyway.

"That's right! That's right! In addition to rescuing more than 70,000 Han slaves from the Jurchens, we have also recruited nearly 60,000 refugees from Liaodong.

Now we have more than 138,000 people under our rule. How can we do it without a good system? The government army system is very good. According to your training method, there are 138,000 people, and there are almost 10,000 government officials.

soldiers.

As long as we train properly on weekdays, plus the new musketry army in your hands, maybe next year or the year after that, we can regain Liaoyang and Shenyang." Sun Chengzong took a sip of tea and was very satisfied with Li Xiao's improved military system.

"When I think about this system, the main reason is that the government army system saves money. The new army is too expensive to raise. The military salary was set too high in order to recruit soldiers. Now it can't be lowered even if it is tried. Everything that can't be done is done according to the new army.

How can I get so much money?" Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do about setting the military pay so high in the first place.

With that kind of conditions, who would follow you as a soldier if you don’t have good conditions? At the beginning, the army was small, and one or two thousand people were easy to feed. But now, with the full force of Gui’s cavalry, Li Xiao has more than 10,000 people. Every month

Speaking of other things, the military pay alone is tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Not to mention, the cost of eating, drinking, and training for more than 10,000 people, plus the cost of equipment. Money! Money! Money! These are the words Li Xiao is least willing to hear these days.

If he didn't make a fortune in Japan last year, he also grabbed a fortune in Macau. Now Li Xiao wants to lead people to rob.

Raising soldiers is daily consumption, and relying on this kind of hammer and stick to make money is not a problem at all. Li Xiao is thinking about new financial resources. If the plantation produces output next year, the financial dilemma will be much better.

"After the Chinese New Year, I plan to set up a winery on Changxing Island. Next year, when Yizhou's tobacco is produced, we will set up a cigarette factory. With these two things, maybe we will no longer be so short of money." Ai Husheng

After temporarily giving up his financial dream and wandering around the capital, Ai Husheng finally realized that without the support of rights, banks can only be like a moon in the mirror.

What Li Xiao proposed is more practical. The steamed wine from Pidao sells for a very high price in the capital. Tobacco also has great market prospects. At least I can roll one now when I have nothing to do. The feeling of puffing out the smoke is very good.

.

"Wine is still located in Yiluo Mountain. There is Putuo in the south and Yiluo in the north. Yiluo Mountain has very good mountain spring water. If you want to make good wine, you must have good spring water. Pidao is because there is a good spring.

, Only steamed wine will taste good." Sun Chengzong was very familiar with the geography of Liaodong and immediately gave his opinion after hearing Ai Husheng's words.

Li Xiao said nothing. According to his understanding, it would be best if the winery was placed in Moutai Town, Kweichow.

Ai Husheng is right, tobacco and alcohol have always been big profits and taxes. Nothing can make more money than these two things, and these two things are consumables. They are much more reliable than one-time sales of real estate.

"What should we do with Zu Dashou's people? Zu Dashou is from Jinzhou, and most of his soldiers are from Jinzhou. When the Tatars occupied Jinzhou, they couldn't escape into the pass. Now that Jinzhou is stopped by us, they also want to

Stay in Jinzhou."

During the Jinzhou Defense War, Yuan Chonghuan formed a life-and-death friendship with the Liao Army. At this time, he naturally wanted to speak for the Liao Army.

"Zu Dashou is also a strong general. As long as he can be used by us, we should win over him." Mao Wenlong also worked with Zu Dashou and admired this upright general.

"Zu Dashou, no matter how much you win over him, you can't let him continue to lead his own soldiers. His prestige is too high, and Wu Xiang is his brother-in-law. His soldiers have to be broken up and organized into military households, otherwise they will end up being

The tail is too big to fall off. If you don't strike hard now, it will be a huge trouble in the future." Sun Chengzong looked at the beams and kept tapping on the handrails with his fingers.

"How is this possible? These soldiers are the lifeblood of Zu Dashou. Without the soldiers, he is nothing as a general. How can he do anything!" Yuan Chonghuan was shocked. This was equivalent to forcing Zu Dashou to leave. One of them was gone.

The general of the army is no good, especially in this troubled world where war is everywhere.

"Why don't you slow down this matter? Don't push it too hard. Too fast... I'm afraid something unexpected will happen." Mao Wenlong looked at Yuan Chonghuan, then at Sun Chengzong. Then he began to make peace out of habit!

Li Xiu opened his mouth, but when he saw the look in Li Xiao's eyes, he swallowed the words again.

Li Hu was holding a copper teapot and stood by the side, pouring water into the empty cup.

"It's not that he is not allowed to lead the army. The imperial army system in the Tang Dynasty was for the imperial court to temporarily appoint generals. Since Brother Xiao said that the imperial army system should be implemented, everyone agreed. Now if he is not allowed to lead the army, why?

What if it doesn't work?" Sun Chengzong was on par with Yuan Chonghuan.

"Old Sun, that's not what happened. The military system cannot be implemented all at once. After all, Zu Dashou leads the Liao army. Their ancestors have lived here for generations...!"

"Living here, they also gave the land passed down by their ancestors to the Tatars? If we hadn't taken Jinzhou back, they wouldn't be living in Shanhaiguan. They still want to stay in their homeland, what the heck!

If you don't want to break up the troops and enter the palace, go back to Shanhaiguan. We can't have a second force in Liaodong, and this matter is out of discussion." Sun Chengzong had a stubborn temper, and Yuan Chonghuan was speechless with one sentence.

After all, he was still a bachelor last year. Yuan Chonghuan was just a minor director of the Ministry of War. Facing this former boss, Yuan Chonghuan still felt a little guilty!

"It would be good if they were not allowed to return to Shanhaiguan. Many people sold their land when the Tatars invaded. The land in many places is vacant. If Zu Dashou wants to return to Shanhaiguan, I will make arrangements and let them all get land. What?

How?" Seeing Sun Chengzong being so determined, Mao Wenlong quickly reconciled.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't speak and looked at Li Xiao. It's strange that the person sitting here is Li Xiao, who is the youngest. But everyone knows that he is the only one who has the final say.

Li Xiao didn't speak, and neither did anyone else. The atmosphere in the venue was extremely embarrassing!

Ao Canghai pulled out a box of cigarettes from Ai Husheng's pocket, gave one to Man Gui, struck a match and lit it, and lit it for Man Gui.

After experimenting with rolling some cigarettes, Ai Husheng was discovered by Man Gui and Ao Canghai while smoking. After smoking, Li Xiao's one cigarette has now become three, and it continues to expand.

Yuan Chonghuan winked at Ao Canghai, and his eyes nearly rolled out of his head. Ao Canghai didn't make any movement at all, and the same was true for Man Gui.

"Then let's do it this way! Either stay in Jinzhou and accept the reorganization of the military system, and the land can be divided. Or go back to Shanhaiguan, and Mr. Mao will help solve the land problem. The disabled can be resettled, and the remaining court has a salary.

The imperial court will naturally support them. Those who serve as soldiers will naturally be under the control of the Ministry of War."

Li Xiao finally spoke, and Yuan Chonghuan sighed helplessly after hearing Li Xiao's words. He knew that this was the final decision. If Zu Dashou did not want to return to Shanhaiguan, he could only accept the adaptation in Jinzhou.

Everyone knows that there is no guarantee of food and salary when returning to Shanhaiguan. It is better to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect the court.

And if you stay in Jinzhou, you will accept the adaptation. Will Zu Dashou agree?

"What Brother Xiao said, I, Lao Ao, will do it." Ao Canghai took a big puff of smoke and glanced at Yuan Chonghuan.
