"The value behind it?"
Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, but only Yuan Keli and Li Banghua had a look of genuine expression in their eyes.
Seeing this, Chongzhen looked at Yuan Keli: "Yuan Aiqing, you seem to have a guess?"
"Your Majesty, I do have a guess!"
"Oh, tell me!"
Chongzhen became interested, and others also looked at Yuan Keli.
"Your Majesty, things like medals can certainly improve the motivation of soldiers in a short period of time, but they cannot last long.
Because these medals are definitely only a few, or even one in ten thousand chances, and things are rare and valuable.
The mentality of soldiers will go through positivity, hope, disappointment, and finally become dull. They may even love someone, but it has nothing to do with me anyway.
Honor cannot be eaten as food. If someone loses his legs because he saved the life of a soldier under the banner, what if the court gives him a Sun and Moon Medal?
His family depends on him to support him, but without his legs, where is the income...
Therefore, I believe that only the combination of honor and interests can make this military merit system run for a long time, and it even requires the cooperation of Inspector Li. "
Bang... bang...
Chongzhen clapped his hands, his eyes filled with approval.
As expected of a famous minister who had experienced the Five Dynasties, he really saw things thoroughly.
After a while, Chongzhen said calmly: "Yuan Aiqing is right, there are some supporting values behind honor. I will tell you the framework, and you can complete the specific content.
Obtaining a medal will give you a cash reward, and you can get a tax exemption when doing business after being disarmed and returning to work. If the normal draw is one out of ten, then getting the Dragon and Tiger Medal will be one out of twenty.
Obtaining the Sun and Moon Medal can be directly tax-free, and the court may even provide shops and startup money.
For another example, if the children of the owner of the medal take the imperial examination in the future, whether it is liberal arts or martial arts, they will be able to enjoy extra points, or they will be given priority in the selection of the Imperial College, etc.
The higher the level of the medal, the greater the enjoyment. There is only one chance.
Another example is that after ordinary soldiers receive the Dragon and Tiger Medal, they can be given priority to become officials of the six households in the county after being disarmed and returning to their hometowns.
Even worse, if he does not engage in business, does not become an official of six households, etc., and returns home to farm land, as long as the land itself belongs to him,
As long as the land title is still in his or his family's hands, it will be tax-free, but there is a limit on the number of acres.
After receiving the Medal of the Sun and Moon and being discharged and returned to work, I will receive ten taels of silver from the county government every month..."
“Those who have won the Dragon and Tiger Medal will be written in the county annals, those who have won the Sihai Medal will be written in the state annals, those who have won the Mountain and River Medal will be written in the government annals, the Star Medal will be written in the provincial annals, and the Star Medal will be written in the Ming Dynasty publications.
Officials at all levels and military attachés from nearby guard posts personally sent them to the winners' homes, beating gongs and drums to deliver the good news, and the soldiers wore big red flowers.
A honorable plaque will be inscribed by a respected person in the county. Every New Year, officials from all over the country will personally go to the home of the recipient of the medal to express their condolences.
It truly means that soldiers wear medals on the front line and their relatives enjoy the glory at the rear,"
Chongzhen talked endlessly, from cash rewards to tax exemptions, job arrangements, benefiting children, pensions, etc.
Every item is beyond everyone's understanding. This is not a medal, it is simply a cornucopia of food and drink.
Being exempt from taxes means that one more person can be fed, and the family can flourish.
Although the heads of the six households in the county are not considered officials, they are still considered prominent people in the county. As long as they do not seek death and commit serious crimes, their daily food and drink allowances do not matter.
Once these rewards are announced, can the soldiers not work hard?
If they didn't fight hard, their relatives would have to break their legs with poles.
"Of course, none of this matters!"
Just as everyone came back to their senses, another word from Chongzhen made everyone almost gasp in shock and almost suffocate.
These are nothing, so what else can be rewarded?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wait patiently. These news are too shocking. I cannot bear it!"
Even though he said this, everyone still had longing eyes in their eyes.
Chongzhen smiled and looked at Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Fan Jingwen, tell me about the construction of the martial arts hall."
Suddenly mentioning the martial arts hall, Fan Jingwen thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, according to the plan, the martial arts hall will be located on the other side of Shijing Mountain, opposite the Firearms Research Institute.
At present, the main hall and the branch halls of each subject have been completed, and the training venues of each subject are still under repair. It is estimated that it will not be fully put into use until mid-to-late October. "
"Your Majesty, do you mean to combine the medal with the martial arts hall?"
As soon as Fan Jingwen finished his report, Yuan Keli was shocked and blurted out his thoughts!
The ministers were thoughtful after listening, and seemed to have thought of something. Before they could think about it, Chongzhen said calmly: "Yuan Aiqing is a great talent!"
"Winners of various medals can enter the martial arts hall to study."
At this point, Chongzhen pondered for a moment before continuing: "When we discussed the five-year plan at the beginning of the year, I mentioned the idea of a martial arts hall.
The main purpose is to find young people with good qualifications over the age of twelve and under sixteen from all over the Ming Dynasty and train them as preliminary military attachés.
But when I inspected Xuanfu, Yansui, Pianguan and other military towns in the northwest, I found many problems.
For example, the military attache's overall ability is insufficient, his promotion is chaotic, he does not pay attention to firearms, and his operation is even more difficult to describe.
I have talked with Yuan Aiqing, and we should not only train them from the basics, but also open up courses for military officers. I call it advanced training, which means improving morals and cultivating careers.
It is divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced advanced training... classes. Do you know what this class means? It is a theater class! "
"Back to Your Majesty, "Shen Jian·Zheng Zhi" says that if the superiors and subordinates are out of order, the position will be light, and if the class is not solid, the position will be light. The rough meaning is a unit, a small group, such as the third class of policemen, theater troupes, class leaders, etc. "
"almost!"
As expected of the Minister of Rites, he has all kinds of classics at his fingertips!
"The junior training course is for outstanding sergeants in the army, such as those who have won medals and soldiers who have performed well in various guards.
The intermediate training course is for military attaches at the three levels of Xiaoqi, General Banner, and Hundred Households.
High-level refers to senior military attachés such as Qianhu, Zhenfu Envoy, and Commander Envoy.
For promotion of military attachés at all levels, they must come to the Wushuang Hall to study and pass the assessment before they can be promoted, otherwise they will not be promoted."
The ministers were startled again, with an inexplicable smile on their lips.
The promotion and demotion of military attaches is mainly carried out by the Military Selection and Cleaning Department under the Ministry of War, which is mainly responsible for the selection and transfer of military attachés for households with more than 100 households. For households below 100 households, it is basically the commanders of the various military posts who have the final say.
First, there were so many Ming Dynasty guards and there were so many grassroots military attachés that they couldn't take care of them. Second, their hands couldn't be stretched that far, which resulted in a mixed situation of good and bad military attachés.
If the Martial Arts Hall is opened, the selection of military attachés across the country will be controlled by the Martial Arts Hall.
If we add a reward and punishment method based on the selection system of each military post, then there will definitely be a big leap in the quality of military attachés in the future.
But for most military generals, the situation is not good. If they are controlled by the martial arts hall, they will not be able to benefit from it.
It is simply impossible to say hello to find a hundred households for your descendants just like before.
"Hey, that's not right!"
Hou Xiu exclaimed: "Your Majesty, do you mean that soldiers who have won medals can also be promoted to military attachés in the future?"
