Wanli Xinming

Chapter 70 In-depth
Zhang Juzheng and the others sat and listened when they heard that Zhu Yijun had other thoughts on the superior care of soldiers.Zhu Yijun rationalized his thoughts and asked first, "Can the soldiers' reward silver and pension money be all in hand?"

When the important ministers heard this, they were all slightly embarrassed.Zhang Juzheng replied, "Although the Ministry of War will be supervised by the Metropolitan Police, it is still inevitable that they will go up and down." When Zhu Yijun heard this, his face became angry, and he let out a long sigh of relief.He said to Zhang Juzheng: "Old sir, if you don't pay close attention to the management of the officials, it will be difficult for the state affairs to sink in."

Zhang Juzheng said that we have discussed this issue before, but now the timing is not right, so why is it brought up again.

With a bit of embarrassment on his face, he changed the subject and said, "Ge Shouli, the imperial censor of Zuodu, has been ill for nearly a month and a half. It is better for the emperor to be released. Another person will strictly rectify the court, and arrest the officials first."

Zhu Yijun listened, smiled and said, "If Ge Shouli is released, let Hai Ruiqi polyphony and come to the capital."

Zhang Juzheng was dumbfounded when he heard this.When everyone heard this topic, half of their backs were wet all at once.Although Wang Guoguang's face was not disturbed, his lower sphincter muscles were so frightened that he almost urinated.

Zhang Juzheng echoed back: "Look at the minister, Ge Shouli can still work for a few years, and today the minister will go to his house and drag him out."

Zhu Yijun was also very apprehensive about arresting officials.Judging from the experience of previous lives, the masters of ZTE in the past dynasties have been effective in fighting corruption, and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty is considered a leader.

But Yong was able to do this with iron man's perseverance and courage.Now Zhu Yijun is still growing, the voice change period has not yet come, and he doesn't have so much energy to do such a big thing.

After a few taps, he changed the subject himself and said, "This soldier's reward should not only be given money, but also a little bit of energy. I have thought about a 'medal system', which I want to match with the current reward. The system should go hand in hand." After speaking, he motioned the inner supervisor to take out some paper and distribute it to the ministers in the congregation.

When Zhang Juzheng waited to see, he drew some signs on the paper, either in the shape of a plum blossom circle or a polygon, with the annotation on the side: Medal style, divided into seven columns.

Listening to Zhu Yijun's explanation: "Look at the first column, it is designed for soldiers."

"As long as the soldiers who have not received official positions have seen blood on the battlefield once, they will be issued an Iron Plum Cloisonne Medal - I named it the Medal of Loyalty and Courage to encourage them to dare to go to the battlefield. Those who deserve this medal have no years of age. reward."

"The soldier who went to the battlefield, who was injured in battle, was given a bronze plum blossom cloisonne medal, proving that he dared to fight and was injured because of the country. Those who deserve this medal can receive ten catties of salt every year for life. And this medal can be used concurrently. Yes, each person can get two at most, so that they can receive [-] catties of salt every year."

"This soldier who went to the battlefield and captured the enemy's head. A silver plum cloisonne medal. Those who deserve this medal are not required to kneel when you see a civil servant. You can receive [-] catties of salt every year for life, and this medal cannot have both."

"Individual decapitation level [-] and above will be awarded the Gold Plum Blossom Cloisonne Medal. In addition to enjoying all the benefits of the Silver Medal, those who are worthy of this medal will be promoted to small flag officers. The other columns are similar, and I have also designed them for generals and officials. Several medals have explanations on the paper."

After Tan Lun finished listening to him, he played: "Your Majesty, personally beheaded and won the Gold Plum Blossom Cloisonne Medal, and can't be raised as a small flag officer."

Zhu Yijun said strangely: "Isn't this the case for military merit promotion at this time? You can be promoted to an officer if you get the third rank."

Tan Lun echoed back: "Your Majesty, you can't have both promotions and rewards. Since Jiajing, if finances are tight, the imperial court has promoted more than rewards. If you have more money, you should try to give rewards as much as possible. After all, rewards are limited at one time and will be raised in the future. Infinite, more promotions are worse than heavy rewards."

Zhu Yijun was stunned and asked, "Do soldiers prefer promotion or reward?" Tan Lun echoed back: "Most people like to give rewards, and if they are below the general, they will charge into the battle. , might as well leave a big piece of money for the family."

Zhu Yijun listened and said, "Why is there any reason? Just now, you also said that if you are above the small flag, if your family members die in battle, you can get two buckets of rice and two coins per month, and if you convert them into silver, you can get nearly half a tael per month, or one year. If you take five or six taels, you can earn back the first tier of silver in five or six years, who can’t count this account?”

This time, all the important officials showed embarrassment again.Zhu Yijun looked at their appearance and asked, "Can't you get this rice and silver on time?"

The ministers did not answer.Zhang Juzheng sighed and replied, "Your Majesty, it's not only a day that the court has no money. In desperation, the guards have to raise the rice and silver. Where can I get it if there is no follower under the general flag."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he frowned and said, "Who will pay the wounded and dead soldiers? Can the soldiers receive them?"

Zhang Juzheng echoed back: "This is all the expenses of the imperial court, and the soldiers can receive it."

Zhu Yijun still frowned and said: "Xiaoqi died in battle and his family couldn't get the monthly rice, and the bank affairs must be resolved, otherwise the soldiers are not motivated, how can they fight?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Exactly, if the master wants to win, he can only encourage him with generous rewards, and there is no way out."

Seeing that the words gradually opened up, Zhang Juzheng played again: "Your Majesty, after the Tianshun Dynasty, the number of people who pretended to be leaders and fought bravely for extraordinary achievements, the injured and the injured were increasing, and the military occupations overflowed and the rewards increased every year. Retire. After Sejong, Qigong and Qili will not be promoted. If you want to promote, the court only pays attention to the first-level merit. To get the reward, you can only lead the head-level silver and the wounded silver."

"As a result, in addition to the fact that Xiaoqi's family members can't receive silver and rice, the soldiers do not rush into battle, and the defense is more than the attack, which is also a major drawback in the army."

"If you want to solve it, you can only recite the rice and silver expenditures of the families of the officers who died in battle. It takes more than 80 taels of silver a year, and it is really impossible to recite now."

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hongdao: "Except for the 100 million golden flower silver, how much is the rest in the palace every year?"

Zhang Hong returned: "My lord, there are a little more than 160 million taels."

Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng: "Let's get together, it doesn't matter if I live a tight life, I will take out 60 yuan every year, and the imperial court will take out another 20 yuan no matter where it comes from. Let's memorize this matter first."

Zhang Juzheng led all the important officials to kneel down and praise.Now that Zhu Yijun holds the imperial store and the imperial factory, the 60 yuan should not be taken seriously, but he has too much to invest, and it is a bit painful to take out the 60 yuan.

Sighing: "I originally designed the medal with great enthusiasm, thinking that it would inspire soldiers to dare to fight, but I don't know that the court has not solved the minimum treatment, so what's the use of issuing a card?!"

Zhang Juzheng echoed back: "The emperor's design of the medal system is indeed a coup. I will take the pattern back first, carefully consider the style, and then write the title book."

Tan Lun also played: "Your Majesty, the military affairs of the imperial court are not limited to one end, and they are the most troublesome. They can only be carefully considered and solved slowly." .

After Zhu Yijun heard it, he could only change the subject and said: "I plan to let Li Chengliang pursue the victory, knock down Gulecheng, and turn Wang Gao out and cut it out. Is this still feasible?"

Zhang Juzheng said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this is the busiest time of spring sowing. If you let Liaodong raise troops again, I fear that Liaodong will be starved this year, so it's best to wait until after autumn to collect grain before fighting."

Since Zhu Yijun crossed over, he first took Feng Bao lightly.After that, the platform called right, and Nanyuan's killing was all handy.Rarely was any difficulty frustrating him.Today's Wuyingdian discussion cast a greasy and sticky shadow on his heart.There is a saying in his hometown to describe his feeling of gradually going deeper into the affairs of state - torn pants and legs!
