Jia Pingan said it again.

"reward"

Li Zhi thought about it carefully.

"Where is the Minister of the Household?"

he asked.

Wang Zhongliang lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Your Majesty, he is gone."

Li Zhi suddenly remembered.

Isn't the Minister of the Household Department Lu Chengqing?

This talent will be driven out of the capital by him.

Li Yifu said: "Your Majesty, the Household Department has repeatedly said that there is not enough money and food, so the rewards have been stopped four years ago."

When the soldiers go out to battle, everyone must be rewarded when they return.This thing is like a bonus.The richer the bonus, the happier the soldiers and the more the common people like to join the army.

Jia Pingan took a deep breath to suppress his anger.

"Your Majesty, the last time we captured half of Goryeo, we captured a lot of money, and the rewards were more than enough to reward the soldiers. This time, the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong were destroyed, and the treasury piled up like a mountain of money and food. Not only is it more than enough, but it can also supplement the Tang treasury."

He couldn't suppress his anger, "Why is there a shortage of money and food? Where did the seized money and food go?"

Li Zhi had already remembered this matter.

At that time, there was a shortage of food in Guanzhong, and he wanted to go to Luoyang several times to eat, but the household department suggested that the reward be stopped, so that the food in Chang'an could still be sustained.

Most of the government soldiers came from around Chang'an.

Since that time, it has become a routine.

Not to mention, the money and food in Chang'an have been loosened a lot since then.

After this matter happened in history, the monarchs and ministers in the court acquiesced, and it was not brought up until a few years later.

Li Yifu said indifferently: "How big is the Tang Dynasty? You need money and food everywhere. You only know about rewards and rewards. Why did Your Majesty lack your rewards? As for those soldiers, they should be considerate of the difficult state affairs. Don't they dare to rebel?"

This fool!

Li Zhi is also a blinded stick.

I don't know what the consequences of this are.

Jia Pingan said calmly: "Why do the people actively join the army? It depends on the military system of the government, which is a combination of farming and warfare. It relies on the government soldiers being able to reduce taxes, but what is more important is that the soldiers will be rewarded by Your Majesty after they have worked hard for the country."

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said angrily: "But now that the reward is gone, does Your Majesty know how the current government soldiers are?"

He looked at the prime ministers, "Misters, do you know what the common people think of the soldiers?"

Master Xu Yu felt that Jia Ping'an was making a fuss out of a molehill, and said flatly, "What do they think? It's their duty to protect the family and the country."

Jia Pingan asked him, "Since Xu Xiang said so, I think I can do it myself. Then Jia dare to ask, maybe Xu Xiang's salary and food will be exempted? By the way, the Xu family has been a high-ranking official for many generations. The money and food are probably piled up like a mountain, so naturally there is no shortage of this salary, money and food. But do those soldiers have any surplus food? Do they have any surplus money?"

"This is why not eat minced meat!"

Jia Ping'an's face flushed red.

He has always felt that the decline of the Fubing system originated from the annexation of fields, but today he realized that the decline of the Fubing system originated from the contempt and contempt for the soldiers by the monarchs and ministers in the court.

"Jia Pingan!"

Li Yifu said with a cold face: "Roaring Yuqian, what do you want to do?"

Roar your sister!

Jia Pingan glanced at him, and the contempt and disdain were obvious.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the common people are no longer willing to join the army?"

As soon as Jia Ping opened his mouth, the emperor and his ministers were surprised.

"impossible!"

Ren Yaxiang frowned and looked at Jia Pingan, "This old man never knew about this."

Ha ha!

Jia Pingan smiled and said: "Your high officials live in the temple, so naturally you don't know what the people below think. You can go to Chang'an County and Wannian County, including those places around Chang'an, and ask about the current situation of the government's recruitment of soldiers."

Li Zhi felt cold in his heart, but immediately felt that this matter was not enough, "how?"

Jia Pingan said: "The common people regard joining the army as a fear, and they cannot escape. When they are forced to join the army, they choose the weakest males from their families to join the army. Those who have money spend money to clear the officials and avoid conscription."

In another ten or twenty years, it's no wonder that the Tang army was repeatedly defeated when Ajie was in power. This is where Te Niang came from.

Jia Pingan wanted to ask the monarchs and ministers, but did they get water in their heads?He actually did something like self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Treat soldiers well, this is the national policy of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.Looking at the former Song Dynasty, the soldiers were regarded as Sabi and slaves, and as a result foreign troubles continued.

Li Ji spoke up, "Did you hear this matter, or did you verify it?"

yes!I am afraid that Jia Ping'an heard this from where, so he made a suggestion based on it.

Li Zhi woke up suddenly.

Li Yifu smiled and said: "It's just hearsay."

Jia Pingan said word by word: "Yesterday I went out of the city and went to three villages."

Li Zhi felt cold in his heart.

This

Li Yifu said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is rumored."

This is to question Jia Ping'an's intention.

"Then invite all the gentlemen to go and have a look?" Jia Ping'an smiled very indifferently.

A group of idiots, after you see the real situation, will you always blush?

Li Zhi thought it was a good idea.

"Yesterday, I heard the prince read two lines of poems. I finally realized that what I got on paper was shallow, and I knew that I had to do it. I really like to talk about the world's affairs, but I want to do it more. If I don't do it, I will just talk about it on paper. That's it."
