Wuying Palace.
The maid next to Ma Enhui came to ask three times, but was blocked by Shuangxi every time.
Shuangxi didn't dare let anyone enter the palace.
When the emperor saw a memorial, he fell into deep thought. At this time, he was most afraid of disturbing him.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the memorial in his hand, "The Dilemma of the New Army by Farming Merchants". On the memorial, there were not only the names of Ping An and Sheng Yong, but also the name of Zhang Bing.
This also means that in Beiping Mansion, the three of them have reached a consensus and are just waiting for their approval.
The core of the dilemma of the new army strategy is the military-civilian integration of the guard system.
Both the army and the people!
Both training and farming!
But under such a guard system, it is a fool's dream to want to strengthen the army and the country!
Therefore, a solution must be found.
Zhang Bing, Ping An, and Sheng Yong of Beiping Mansion found a way, but this method was too "shocking".
The method is:
The farmland under the control of the generals was sold to the gentry, and 70% of the money and grain earned from the sale of the farmland was transferred to the state treasury. As a sergeant, 30% of the money and grain payable for the three years of farmland went to the hands of the sergeants to improve the lives of the sergeants.
As for three years later, the taxes on the farmland purchased by the gentry will be used to support the new army's money and food expenses.
Zhang Bing's point of view is very clear. Now that the gentry's land property has been greatly reduced and curbed, it is the time when they are in urgent need of replenishing their land. If there is a batch of farmland that can be sold at this time, the gentry will definitely buy it.
Zhang Bing requested the imperial court to allow the gentry to buy and sell farmland, and to grant a three-year policy of 100% tax per 100%. After three years, 150% tax per 100% would be implemented.
Zhu Yunwen did not expect that Zhang Bing, Ping An and others would think of such a move.
From the current point of view, it is impractical to allocate farmland to farmers. First, farmers are easily bullied and exploited. Second, the number of farmers in the farm area is too small and they cannot afford large-scale farming.
It may be a feasible strategy to hand over the farmland to the gentry in the form of buying and selling.
Although the farming area is somewhat remote, for the gentry, remoteness is not a problem, the question is whether it is beneficial.
As long as it is beneficial, businessmen, scholars, and wealthy gentry will extend their greedy hands.
If the tax policy is favorable, then the farming business is likely to be welcomed by the gentry.
But what Zhu Yunwen is worried about is whether once the policy is liberalized, it will affect national policies.
While vigorously promoting the national policy of curbing land annexation, while encouraging the gentry to buy and sell farmland, will such contradictory policies appear in Peiping at the same time?
question?
After the gentry buys farmland, the original "self-sufficiency" status of the guards will be broken. Can the food in the north meet this part of the demand? Once there is a shortage of food, food prices will rise, which will definitely threaten people's livelihood and the strategy of the new army.
Will giving tax incentives to the gentry for buying and selling farmland cause the guardsmen to take desperate risks, unite with the gentry, seize the farmland of surrounding farmers, and then sell it "legally" to enjoy low tax benefits?
This complex issue is by no means a simple issue of a land sale permit.
Zhu Yunwen sighed, thinking about it for a long time, but couldn't make up his mind.
"Biography of Jie Jin, Yao Guangxiao, Huang Zicheng and Xia Yuanji."
Zhu Yunwen ordered.
Shuangxi came over and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's already Xu time. Do you want to summon the ministers after the meal is served?"
Zhu Yunwen looked up and realized that he had been holding the lamp for a long time.
"Has the queen had her meal?"
Zhu Yunwen rubbed his brow and asked.
Shuangxi hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the queen sent people to inquire three times. We saw that the emperor had been thinking about state affairs, so we did not disturb the emperor. At this time, the queen should have finished her meal."
Zhu Yunwen stood up, moved his shoulders, and said: "The Queen is waiting for me. Please pass the meal to Kunning Palace first, and tell someone to tell the Queen. I will arrive soon."
Shuangxi agreed and arranged for someone to deliver the message.
Zhu Yunwen handed the memorial "Farming Merchants Selling to Break the Dilemma of the New Army" from the table to Shuangxi and said: "Send it to the cabinet in person and ask the cabinet to call the Ministry of Households for discussion and come up with a strategy tomorrow morning."
Shuangxi took the memorial respectfully, turned and left.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Wang Yue, who was following behind him, and asked, "What has Uncle Yan been doing these days?"
Wang Yue bowed slightly and said, "Back to the emperor, King Yan uses the sand table as a battlefield every day to study new formations."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, looked in the direction of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and said lightly: "I wonder if you can still create it without four years of war."
Wang Yue was a little confused.
Four less years of war?
Where did the four years of war come from?
Create it?
Who created whom?
Wang Yue couldn't understand Zhu Yunwen's words, so he kept silent knowingly.
Kunning Palace.
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen who was approaching, and after saluting, he complained: "It seems that the emperor's belly doesn't know how to drum."
Zhu Yunwen smiled, washed his hands, sat down, and said
Ma Enhui said: "If I arrive late, the Queen does not need to wait any longer. She can just have her meal first."
"We have agreed to do it together, how can we not count it out? Even if the emperor is later, I will still be waiting."
Ma Enhui said seriously, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the food for Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen knew that he could not convince Ma Enhui, so he asked: "How is the progress of the medical gauze? Is it going well?"
Ma Enhui suddenly became interested and said: "Now it has stabilized. The daily production is 650 boxes. At the beginning of the month, 10,000 boxes were delivered to the Ministry of War. This month, it should be close to 20,000 boxes."
Zhu Yunwen agrees with this output, but the Ministry of War may not be satisfied.
Now the Ministry of War is in urgent need of a large amount of medical gauze, which is related to the coastal guard's fight against Japanese bandits and the navy's cruise to block the sea.
Zheng He led the naval fleet to victory after victory, but it was also accompanied by inevitable casualties.
The latest battle report shows that the navy fought with Japanese bandits on Cheniushan Island in the East China Sea.
Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng personally led 700 soldiers, killed 800 Japanese bandits, and rescued more than 300 women, girls, and girls.
The Ming army also paid a heavy price, with 82 people killed and nearly 200 injured.
Fortunately, only one of the wounded soldiers died of serious injuries, while the others survived.
This is related to the medical gauze and alcohol equipped by the Navy fleet.
Zheng He wrote a letter to apologize for underestimating the enemy, but he did not mention a word about the power of the Japanese bandits and how difficult the battle was. He seemed to be suppressing the anger in his heart and wrote the letter in blood with extreme grief and anger.
"We rescued more than 300 women, children, and girls. Their bodies and minds were broken, as if they were stones. When asked, they didn't know whether they were dead or alive!"
These are the words in Zheng He's memorial. The sentence "Both body and mind are broken" expresses his ultimate hatred for the Japanese bandits!
The Ministry of War did not understand Zheng He's pain. Their first thought was to accuse Zheng He. Their second thought was that medical gauze and alcohol were effective and could withstand the test of the battlefield.
After these two thoughts had passed for a long time, they suddenly remembered that eighty-two sergeants had died and they should ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for compensation.
Zhu Yunwen did not blame Zheng He, what he did was right.
In war, there is no time for immortality.
As long as these people sacrifice themselves to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty and protect the Ming Dynasty, then they are heroes and upright men of the Ming Dynasty!
At night, Zhu Yunwen looked at Ma Enhui, who was already sleeping soundly. She was not sleepy at all, and counted quietly: "One, two, three...eighty-one, eighty-two."
no name.
Only numbers.
