Chapter 961: Local Military Power


Du Qianyu asked what the people of the Tang Dynasty wanted to know, the investment of the Ministry of Economic Development and the construction of the city is really amazing, so some people say that the Ministry of Economic Development is very rich, but in fact this is not the case, there are some reserve funds, and most of the sources of funds are still profits from the sale of goods.

A large part of the funds used in construction come from the investment of businessmen, but they are not impermanent, and their investment and construction will get a share of the profits, so the Ministry of Economic Development does not have much money.

Yuan Shan shook his head and said: "The money of the Economic Development Department was quite a lot before, but after the investment, it was not much, and it basically relied on the existing profit income to subsidize the use, which is a long process and takes time to accumulate." ” There are also some very obscure things involved, such as Li Shimin's attitude, as well as the relationship between the Ministry of Economic Development and the national treasury, which will definitely change, but not now, what the Ministry of Economic Development can strive for now is to find a way to accumulate enough strength when it is not visible.

"It turns out that the Economic Development Department is not very rich," Du Qianyu said with little interest.

"Well, in fact, it's like this, the money we can keep is not as much as our own."

Yuan Shandao.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, as long as you don't owe debt."

Du Qianyu said.

"Don't you owe a debt, think about it, it seems that you really owe a lot of debts, but they are all repaid in another way, and the benefits promised to His Majesty to the Ministry of Economic Development seem to have dragged on for a long time, so whatever, he owes it first."

Yuan Shanxin said.

He didn't tell Du Qianyu about the specific thing, in this situation of the Economic Development Department, to make money is to make more money with monthly investment, but once you stop investing, you will lose all your money, just like a machine, if you don't turn it, you will lose it.

"Don't talk about this, I'm tired today, let's rest early."

Yuan Shandao.

In the Imperial City of Chang'an, Li Shimin had just written a holy decree, looked at the ink that had not dried up, took out the jade seal and stamped it.

"Ma He, tomorrow the court will announce this matter."

Li Shimin said.

In the imperial study, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministers were there, and they were called to discuss how to punish King Lu, this kind of thing must be discussed, after all, Li Shimin has too many brothers and sisters, and he still needs to be cautious when punishing a king to avoid too much impact.

But Li Shimin drew up a holy decree before them.

"Your Majesty, is this matter of demolishing the city wall a second thought?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"What is there to consider, my world is peaceful, what if the siege happens again, let the rebels have a chance, dismantle it, demolish Ansheng, Yuanshan's idea is actually very suitable."

Li Shimin said.

"Yuan Shan, is this his opinion?"

asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"That's right, Yuan Shan has said a long time ago, the disadvantages of building the city wall are very good, not only will it cost the people and money, but it will also hinder the construction of the city, Lantian County and Lanzhou City have no city walls, and the defense depends on the iron-blooded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this idea is very good, I want to take back the local military power, what do you think."

Li Shimin continued.

The local military power is mainly the military power of the governors of each state capital, which can not only save expenses but also eliminate worries.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought that the local military power was mainly used just in case, what if there was no bandit and no state capital, so he asked: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, what should I do in case of war?"

"Haha, in fact, when Yuan Shan talked about this, I also reacted, the position of the lieutenant is inconvenient, but the military power needs to be handed over, and the soldiers and horses of the local state capital will be reduced, and it will be changed to the internal guard of the Tang City, mainly to cooperate with the state government yamen system to handle the case, only distribute weapons and not send armor and war horses."

Li Shimin said.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, wouldn't the captain become a "Sima", and he didn't send armor and war horses, and cooperated with the yamen to handle the case, this change was extraordinary, which was equivalent to completely eliminating the internal troubles, but would some princes and ministers agree "Your Majesty, this is too much involved, if the state government is so reduced, what should I do if there are bandits" Eldest Sun Wuji wondered.

"This is a good solution, although the number of soldiers and horses of the lieutenant has been reduced, but some military camps will be established in the main areas, and the government soldier system will be changed to a full-time system at that time, and there are bandits that can be concentrated on cracking down and cleaning up thoroughly, and the governor of the state capital is not eating for nothing, and the people who remain must also be tested for combat effectiveness, and there are no weapons without armor," Li Shimin said.

What else does the eldest grandson Wuji want to say, especially about the full-time military camp, aren't you afraid that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble, wouldn't it be easier to control the soldiers and horses, wouldn't you have the strength to control the soldiers and horses, seeing that Fang Xuanling on the side couldn't speak, I don't know what he thinks.

"Fang Shangshu, you seem to be thoughtful, do you have any ideas" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

"Your Majesty's method is very good, if you want to do it thoroughly, in the future, the princes and nobles will not be able to support their families, and all of them will adopt employment uniforms, so as to avoid the death force of the family, just the role of the duty, as for the affairs of the barracks, you need to be cautious, so where to place the military department is the key."

Fang Xuanling said.

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately understood, if there is no government soldier system, after all, it involves the management of soldiers and horses, there is no doubt that the rights of soldiers and horses will be expanded, and controlling soldiers and horses is equivalent to controlling half of the world.

"Your Majesty, what Fang Shangshu said is very reasonable, what will happen to the military department in the military camp," said the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Shimin was very calm, because Yuan Shan had said before that, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently: "The functions of the military department will be changed, Yuan Shan said a new name, called the Datang Soldiers and Horses Logistics Support Department, which will be mainly responsible for the overall planning, coordination, and support of grain, grass, armaments and other things in the future. ” Still didn't talk about how to prevent the mutiny, in fact, it was very simple, after the two independent departments were separated, the grain and grass reserves needed by the soldiers and horses were separated, and if they rebelled, did they have food supplies It's just that the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others haven't reacted yet, and there are some of the most critical ones that the generals have the right to command the troops but not the right to transfer troops, everything is in the rules and regulations.

Li Shimin is bound to win this time to recover the local military power, and no one is allowed to question it at all, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling can see it, but they must persuade them because this is their job.
