Chu Qing's biggest advantage is that he is open-minded and kind...but he is shameless.
As long as I can use you, even if I want to kill you, I have to be happy before draining your value.
Lan Renshan suddenly became a guest, and he and Nangong Ping had a heated discussion, focusing on the word investment.
Qianqiying knew the details of each minister, and the same was true for Lan Renshan.
But from Jiang Yuesheng to Tanma, no one had ever heard that Lan Renshan knew business.
But people just understand, and Nangong Ping raised many very sharp questions.
The first question is, what should local governments do if they have no money?
Expert Lan said, use taxes, taxes collected by the court, for commercial investment.
This leads to the second question, what to do if you don’t make money.
Expert Blue said, if you don’t make money, you deserve it. If you don’t make money, find a way to make money.
Well, this problem is not solved, Nangong Ping asked the third question.
What should we do if the local government doesn’t take it seriously?
Expert Lan instantly turned into Lan Da Dao, linked to political achievements, ignored him, dealt with him, and then completely opened up his chatterbox. His expression and voice were just like bragging after drinking too much, but this bully, every word reason.
Zhongzhou is such a big place, and the customs and customs are different in different places. Now that this commercial office has been established, the first step is to conduct a "market investigation."
If there is anything in the East China Sea, such as wood and fish, then let the court take the money, invest heavily in fishery, and then sell it to places where there is no such thing, such as Nanbian Pass, which has the most sand, then make glass and sell the glass to the pass. This is roughly what it means. First find out where and what can be done, and then the court will provide part of the money, or not provide the money, and let the merchants pay. This is equivalent to the Commerce Office listing the "project" and then negotiating with the capital. The capital goes with money to revitalize the local economy.
The most awesome thing is that Lan Renshan did not talk about this matter in a general way, but was very detailed. Nangong Ping nodded repeatedly when he heard it.
Lan Renshan even raised the issue of "brand", regarding the credibility of a businessman.
The credibility of this businessman needs to be well-known, instead of all foreigners holding up a piece of milk and saying that it is only suitable for Chinese babies' physiques. Instead of doing these things that test IQ, we should focus on quality, uniqueness, and specialties.
This chat lasted for more than half an hour.
Chu Qing was already drowsy, not because he was not interested, but mainly because he was too tired.
Brother Dajun walked in and greeted Lan Renshan cheerfully.
Either that, Brother Dajun's card is here, and there are five or six people with Chu Qing. When he saw Brother Dajun, Lan Renshan quickly stood up and saluted.
After a few polite words, Brother Dajun explained the purpose of his visit: "There are frequent reports of good news in the East China Sea, and the Japanese thieves in Yingdao have no resistance. Goguryeo has conquered another big city. Now, good news has spread all over Zhongzhou. In addition, due to the many government decrees and military forces in recent months, Regarding this, General Qin from the Ministry of War said that the number of soldiers recruited by various departments was more than 80% higher than usual."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"It has nothing to do with it. It's just that General Qin said that the three border roads and the three east China sea roads account for 40% of the country. They should be strictly selected instead of being forced to recruit troops like in previous years."
Chu Qing shrugged indifferently: "Then let's do it, strictly select the best among the best."
"That's the second thing. General Qin is worried about the matter of disarming the troops. As soon as the decree comes out, many troops who are over forty and in places where there is no war need to disarm. Otherwise, what you said, young master, will happen. Aging."
"Yes, there is this problem."
Chu Qing looked thoughtful.
In the past, the enthusiasm of the people to join the army was not high. As various factors superimposed during this period, there was a rush to join the army, but problems were constantly exposed.
Many Zhechong Prefectures have not fought in seven or eight years. Serving in the military in these places is almost like providing for the elderly. The Ministry of War is studying whether to carry out a replacement and replace all the older ones. If the full complement is not needed, it is not necessary. There is no need to have so many troops.
"Prepare troops."
While Chu Qing was thinking about this matter, Lan Renshan, who was discussing merchant status with Nangong Ping, spoke up: "Incorporate them all into military preparations."
Chu Qing was confused: "What does preparing troops mean?"
"Soldiers preparing for war."
"Although I don't know what preparing troops means, don't you still be a soldier? The Chang Dynasty will definitely expand its territory in the future, but not now. There is no need to support so many troops, do you understand?"
"don't know."
"If you don't understand, just continue to study with Nangong Ping to understand."
Lan Renshan took a sip of tea and said, "I don't understand, but I still want to say it."
"Were you an expert in your previous life?"
"The so-called preparation of troops is also the government of the peasant army." Lan Renshan said to himself: "This peasant army is not an auxiliary army, but it still serves the imperial court. It has learned the ability to kill enemies and fight for the country. How can you just give them a few acres of thin farmland? There are military soldiers and servants in all prefectures. These military soldiers and servants are all fat servants. If the family has money and food, they will use the money to let their children do the military soldiers and servants. No, It's appropriate. I think it's very inappropriate. Instead of doing this, it's better to make a decree that if those who have served in the army for several years can remove their armor, they can become soldiers or servants."
Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "That's right, don't waste talents!"
"It's not appropriate to have the auxiliary troops. It's very inappropriate. The government is in front and the auxiliary troops are in the back. If the general says so, we should also make a government order and remove the old soldiers from their armor. They are the auxiliary troops. If there is a war, Soldiers who have taken off their armor can become auxiliary soldiers."
"Reserves?!"
"what for?"
Chu Qing remained silent, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.
In fact, most of the auxiliary soldiers of the Chang Dynasty were common people, mostly young and strong. When encountering a war, they trained for two days before going to escort grain and grass. When they went to the battlefield, they were cannon fodder and killed.
But if the meaning of auxiliary soldiers is completely changed, it will be equivalent to the old soldiers who have taken off their armor and become auxiliary soldiers. They can do it on the battlefield without training.
"The auxiliary soldiers also need to be given food and salary. Although it is not much, at least the old soldiers who have taken off their armor will have some money to receive."
Lan Renshan looked like he had never seen the world before, chewing tea foam in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I think you, the captain, are good at A, B, C, and D, regardless of official position or military rank. , but the number of years in the military, according to the number of years..."
"You can wait a moment." Chu Qing quickly interrupted: "When did I say that grades A, B, C, D, and IV are based on years of service in the military? I mean...fuck!"
Chu Qing suddenly remembered something.
It’s time to refine the length of service in the military. Just like a non-commissioned officer, he is not promoted to captain or general, but is also a “pawn”. A real veteran soldier is different from the ordinary army.
"Making the military professional!" Chu Qing slapped his thigh: "Yes, professionalizing the military. Military becomes a profession..."
Halfway through, Chu Qing couldn't help but look at Lan Renshan, with a very strange look on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking of, and asked in a confused manner: "There must be a new army in various places. If General Lan has the final say, , what kind of person should be replaced?"
This question is very wrong. It is inexplicable. Who can be replaced? Can it be replaced by ordinary people who join the army? There is also a question in the question.
Lan Renshan laughed: "Change the teacher!"
Chu Qing's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"
"Going into battle does not rely on the general's bravery." Lan Renshan pointed to his head, which made the sound of water when it swayed: "Rely on this!"
"How to rely on the law?"
"Oh my." Lan Renshan laughed loudly: "That general is very understanding."
Brother Dajun glanced at Fu San and asked in a low voice: "Lao San, I almost forgot to ask, why is General Lan looking for the young master?"
"I don't want to be the Minister of War."
Brother Dajun: “…”
