Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 75 Change From This Moment

"Do you have anything to add?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's aura at this time made Li Wenzhong and Feng Sheng, who had been listening to him for a long time, suddenly remembered when they confronted Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng back then.

It is precisely this belief in victory, coupled with the careful planning of those gentlemen, that their rebel army defeated the powerful enemy step by step and won the final victory.

Unconsciously, the two were infected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Watching the three thoughtful Hu Weiyong and the passionate Li Wenzhong and Feng Sheng leave Jinshen Hall, Zhu Ji looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was pacing back and forth in the hall because of excitement, and shook his head with disdain:
"You are really tired of being the emperor. You have said all the last words after calling these people over."

Although being so run on by his elder son, Zhu Yuanzhang's interest is still full.

"We are happy, can you control it, you bastard?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's arrogant expression of joy, Zhu Ji couldn't help but sneered and said:
"I can see it. From now on, the people in the court will be lazy and idle, and it will be caused by you, the emperor. I told you, you only need to hold on to the barrel of the gun, hold on to the money bag, and hold on to the pen, and you still need it." Wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's pensive expression, Zhu Ji didn't want to stop at all when he taunted him.

"I heard that you even set up a Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to be in charge of the military. Why is it that even the Metropolitan Governor didn't see it when you hit Dongpu?"

"You said you were asking both Hu Weiyong and Sun Keyi, who is in charge of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?"

From the simple layout just now, Zhu Ji could see that the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty were managed by both the Zhongshu Province and the Ministry of War, except that the Dudufu, who was in charge of the military in name, did not even have a person.

A good government office is useless, Zhu Ji felt that it was necessary to chat with his own father.

"If you want me to say, our Daming's military system should be reformed."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this bastard always had some unexpected ideas. Although none of these words were pleasant, he was still willing to continue listening.

"Then tell me, how should I change it?"

Glancing at the title book on the desk, seeing that there were not many important matters from various ministries, Zhu Yuanzhang simply relaxed, sat down on the soft couch specially used for rest, and pretended to be listening attentively.

Such a good performance made Zhu Ji very useful.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also sat on the soft couch, smelling the fragrance from the low red sandalwood table, casually picked up a piece of preserved fruit as a snack, and continued vaguely:

"First of all, your military household system is really taken for granted."

"Although it seems that military settlements have reduced the burden on the common people, with the great stability of the world, there will inevitably be a series of problems such as the land occupation of military settlements, false reporting of the number of soldiers, and serious internal corruption.

An army of one million is completely self-sufficient, and even has surplus food to supply places. This is definitely Zhu Yuanzhang's most proud arrangement. I don't want to be said to be worthless by Zhu Ji now.

He had to interrupt Zhu Ji's criticism, and defended with a dark face:

"Isn't it a good thing for us to raise millions of soldiers without spending a single grain of rice?"

"What a fart!"

Not giving Zhu Yuanzhang any face at all, Zhu Ji violently said a foul word.

"I don't believe you can't see the unequal status of the Chinese and the military in the DPRK. It's the same in the DPRK and China. How do the local people view those military households?"

"If things go on like this, the military households will have to marry internally to form a relationship of interest, which will inevitably affect the whole body. Coupled with the little salary you give to the military officers, believe it or not, they will dare to fight for interests when you are alive."

"Counting the local officials' embezzlement, exploitation and occupation of land, you will have a headache when you run out of households, mutiny, disarmament and other issues."

The imbalance of civil and military status is the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's indulgence.

Although they are still fighting against the remnants of Yuan Yuan, such signs have already appeared.

Zhu Yuanzhang is confident that he can deter Zhu Ji's so-called profit suppression and exploitation, but he cannot prevent the internal interests of military households from colluding due to differences in social status.

It is impossible to issue a decree to prohibit intermarriage between military households. If you do so, I am afraid that those military households will overthrow him in turn.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead.

How he didn't know the truth that if he wanted to hold the gun firmly, the barrel of the gun must not be messed up.

"Then what do you say?"

The proud military household system was smashed to pieces by Zhu Ji's ruthless ideas. Zhu Yuanzhang could only look at his eldest son, hoping to hear from him a solution with a bright future.

"All males and crowns in the country, healthy and asymptomatic, must serve in the army for four years. During the period, the imperial court will distribute food and salaries, and exempt the family from corvee service. After four years, they will return to the local area and be registered by the commanders and envoys of each state capital. Drill for one month, and join the army at any time during the war."

"During the period of joining the army, those who have meritorious service can be promoted, and each promotion to the third rank can extend the time of serving in the army for two years. From the fifth rank onwards, depending on the level of casual ranks, they can serve as local officials after being released."

He has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run. According to the impression of his previous life, Zhu Ji tinkered and took out the things he was familiar with.

"After joining the army, in addition to practicing every day, you should also be urged to study and learn etiquette. When a soldier is promoted, those who have not made great achievements must pass the special examination organized by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. In addition to martial arts, the examination content should also be set..."

Ideological education, cultural education, military training, and so on, as long as Zhu Ji thought of it, they were all integrated into one place and instilled in Zhu Yuanzhang. One up.

"In this way, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money for military supplies and food."

What my eldest son said was very tempting, but the three melons in my pocket, Zao Guorui, knew it well.

According to Zhu Ji's way of playing, Daming's annual expenditure on the guards will probably empty the national treasury.

If it goes ahead, a militaristic infamy will inevitably be added to him.

"Don't worry, there will be more ways to get money in the future. Not to mention the money that can be obtained by conquering Dongying, in the future we will build seagoing ships and create a maritime silk road. You don't need to worry about this. money."

The more he talked, the smoother he spoke, and thinking about the bright future, Zhu Ji became more courageous.

The sun never sets in the largest places in the rotten country, so why can't it be done in the Ming Dynasty today?
Even if those bloody and dirty methods are not used, with the advanced productivity of Ming Dynasty, it will not be a pleasure to recruit talents from the countries of the Western Regions, one step at a time, so that the East will always remain as beautiful as a pearl.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ji couldn't help urging:
"By the way, didn't you pat your chest and say you want to build a ship? It's been several months, why haven't you heard the sound yet?"
