Chapter 219 Liu Jun's Gift

After receiving the title of the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and the Right Assistant Censor of the Censorate, Liu Jun became more and more confident. ~ This shows that he was right. The emperor was indeed very satisfied with his performance. It was not in vain that he gritted his teeth and took out so much money to give gifts. He had no involvement for the time being, but only praise.

Although the emperor had to send five eunuchs to Yunyang at once, even if Liu Jun himself did not ask for this, Chongzhen would definitely send eunuchs. Although Chongzhen eliminated Wei Zhongxian at the beginning of his ascension, soon Chongzhen began to reuse eunuchs again. For more than ten years, he had occasionally withdrawn the eunuchs who were in charge of the army, but it was soon restored.

Chongzhen even sent eunuchs, Prime Minister's House and Ministry of Works to take over these two yamen. After all, Chongzhen actually had a great distrust of the ministers, perhaps because he had been deceived by Yuan Chonghuan and other ministers too many times. Therefore, even though he favored Liu Jun, he still sent eunuchs, and five were sent in one sect.

The only good news is that the director and governor are divided into five eunuchs, all of whom are Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen. With Liu Jun’s current relationship with Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, there is no need to worry too much about these eunuchs. As long as they are willing to take out some money, these eunuchs can still control them.

Liu Jun is still focused on rectifying the guards. This matter is so important to Liu Jun that he mainly handed over the training of the new army to the generals of each battalion.

The sixth battalion soldiers in Yunyang were all on track, and they could train according to the rules and regulations every day. Liu Jun only stayed in the military camp for a long time every day, and then gave a class in the martial arts hall every day. During the rest of his time, he was planning the affairs of the garrison with Huang Daozhou and Yang Tinglin.

The other dozen new troops, the Baigang soldiers recruited by the 4,000 stone pillars, were trained at Fengjie, and were led by Qin Yimin, the deputy general. The 20,000 new troops recruited in the Qihuang area were trained at Macheng and Qizhou in Huangzhou.

Liu Jun did not transfer them to Yunyang. He took too much time to stay there for training on the spot. This saved time and also allowed him to guard the local area and avoided the burden of military rations transfer.

Especially in not long, Liu Jun had to lead his troops to Jiangbei to fight for the fight.

"I still mean that I arrested all the officers of the garrison who found out that they had occupied military camps and embezzled grains." Huang Daozhou waved his hand angrily and said to Liu Jun and Yang Yanlin who met and discussed together.

"Will this move be too big?" Yang Tinglin said with some concern.

Liu Jun also nodded. He actively wanted to organize the garrison and clean up the military camp, not to revive the guards. Instead, he took a fancy to those military farmlands and those military households who had long become officers and tenants. If he had done such a drastic investigation, he would definitely cause chaos. Liu Jun was not afraid of chaos. With six battalions of troops, a group of guards would not be able to make a fortune.

But he had to consider that this rectification was actually a pilot project, with many people watching, and it would inevitably touch the interests of many people. Any random chaos may be exaggerated and made by others.

"The invasion of military camps has been a long time and is quite common. In addition, this grain grain was not actually lost in one day or two days." Liu Jun said, "I think so, we don't have to keep staring at the past. What is the purpose of our inventory? It is to change the current situation in the garrison."

"So, I don't think we should focus on how to improve the situation, rather than holding the accountable."

"That's what you mean. For those borers and rats are all over?" Huang Daozhou asked.

"It's not to forget it, it's just that the priorities are different." Liu Jun explained carefully, "Let's first find a few military offices with bad influence, usually act as a blessing, invade military camps, and also harsh military households. They make their evidence more detailed and ironclad, and then take down these people, have a public trial, and then execute people."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

"Well, let's kill a chicken first to shock the garrisons, and then we can ease up a little more. We announced that we would only clear out the military farms that have been occupied over the years, and then let them avoid the accumulation of owes to them by their subordinates, and then let them make up for some of the deficit grains. Then we can leave it alone."

"It's too cheap for them."

"It's all rotten, no matter how you check it, it's a mess that can't be clarified. It's better to break it directly, cut the mess with a quick knife, and then cut the past accounts. Start again, we will re-grant the garrisons of the cleared garrison to military households in various places, and there is no need to let them defend the city anymore. The task of defending the city is handed over to the soldiers of Yunzhen, and they will be specialized in cultivated land in the future."

Liu Jun threw out his plan little by little.

"What should we do if those military officers in the garrison are? They are all hereditary military officers."

"They are evaluated. Those who pass the qualification can be selected to serve in various battalions in Yunzhen. From then on, they will be soldiers and generals in the camp. Those who fail will be allowed to go home and sit at home to receive their salary and have idle meals."

Huang Daozhou asked, "Military households have been changed to garrisons. Should they be granted land according to households or garrisons? How do they pay grain tax on their military farm output? What should they do if they serve in the future?"

Liu Jun said, "After clearing out the acres of military farming, the land can be given to the military households of the garrison. The number of people in the garrison can be given as many as the garrison. The number of people in the garrison can be given to the military households. The number of people in the garrison can be given to the military households, but the number of people in the garrison can be given to the garrison. The amount of people in the garrison can be given to the garrison can be given to the average output of the garrison in the past decade, and then half of the output will be given to the garrison in the annual output and half will be given to the garrison.”

"As for the food handed over, of course, it cannot be given to the garrison. A new warehouse can be set up to manage it by officials. Every year, the garrisons hand over the grain and finally enter it into the warehouse. The grain in these warehouses is the military ration of 50,000 troops in Yunzhen."

"I think other people, such as Yao Jun, can be the same as ordinary households, and the military households of the Tun Ding family can still be the same as those of ordinary households."

Liu Jun's plan was to completely change the military system of the garrison that had been established for more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty. In the future, the garrison would be truly extinct. The officers of the military station would either transfer to the camp or could only eat idle food at home. The military households and the remaining officials of the garrison were all transferred to garrisons, and were not responsible for military farming and farming. For example, the military garrisons would be garrisons, or the guarding of local cities, and the labor service was assumed. Their only responsibility was to farm, and half of the income they earned every year was handed over, and the food handed over was used as the military rations of the soldiers in Yunyang Town.

The camp soldiers are responsible for fighting, defending the city, and the garrisons are dedicated to farming and farming. The troops in Yunyang Town will completely replace the garrison army and replace the city defense of the garrison.

Huang Daozhou thought carefully for a long time and finally said, "If it can be implemented, this is indeed a good solution."

In fact, the garrison has long been abandoned. In addition to drawing the battalions into the border mainland, the military households can only farm for the officers or transfer them to serve some major civil engineering labor.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the state transferred a large amount of land to the garrison, and let the garrison farm on their own and then self-sufficient. The situation of the court no longer had to spend food to support the army. Now the battalions of the Ming Dynasty recruited troops are the soldiers that can be fought. They undertake the tasks of fighting and guarding the country.

This made the garrison still occupy a large amount of the country's land, but no longer able to undertake the task of combat and defense. Many garrison military households were greatly oppressed by the garrison officers, losing their land and being penniless, becoming one of the root causes of national turmoil. Among the endless bandits suppressed in various places, there were a large number of original garrison military households.

Now if Liu Jun’s new plan can be implemented, the military households will have land again and can support themselves. After having food and clothing, they will naturally not participate in the rebellion of bandits. Moreover, they can also hand in a large amount of grain every year, which can become military rations for the battalions and soldiers, reducing a lot of burdens for the court and the local government.

The military households are better, the courts are better, and the battalions and soldiers from all over the country are also beneficial. The only ones that have suffered from this plan are the hereditary military officers of the garrison. Those who have transformed from generals who defended their country to landlords, the fields they occupied will be cleared and taken away. They will not only lose the large amount of military farmland that they occupied, but also the military tenants who could only rely on them and exploited by them in the past, and even the annual corruption of grains and grains.

"I think it's OK!" Yang Tinglin supported Liu Jun's plan. In addition to the damage of the borer, the new plan will be beneficial to the court, the local government and the garrison troops.

"Try it with Yunyangwei first." Huang Daozhou could also see the benefits of the plan after it was implemented, so he reluctantly agreed to let the borers go, not to get entangled with them, but to kill the Ranma quickly, and to advance reform first.

Yunyang Guard is located in Yunyang Prefecture, which is Yiguo Guard. In addition to the five thousand households in front, back, left, middle and right of Yunyang Guard, there are also two thousand households in Qianshan Qianhu and Fangxian Qianhu.

There were originally 5,600 people in Yunyang Guard, and each of them had more than 1,000 people. They originally had more than 300,000 acres of military camps.

If the Yunyang Guard can be successfully rectified, at least 300,000 shi of grain will be paid in the next year. With just one garrison, you can get so much grain in your garrison, which is more than the grain collected in many counties. This is also one of the benefits of farming. Ordinary private land can only collect about three liters per acre, and with some freight, fire consumption, etc., one acre of land is far less than a bucket.

The farmland is different. The farmland belongs to the country. The farmland is equivalent to renting a tenant, so the land rent is paid, and half of the output is paid directly. For the land in Huguang, even if it produces two stones per mu per a year, half of it is one stone per mu, which is many times more than the grain tax paid for the people's fields.

In the ten prefectures, fifteen prefectures and 105 counties controlled by Yunyang Prefecture, there are only twenty or thirty garrisons. If all the military camps are cleared out, there will be millions of acres, and millions of stones of grain can be handed over a year.

Huang Daozhou and Yang Tinglin were both excited about this very simple arithmetic problem. If they could really do it, it would be a great achievement. However, it would definitely not be easy to achieve such a result. Each garrison has a large number of officers, which is equivalent to robbing land and people from these landlords in the army. However, both of them are stolen. As long as they determine it, they have to do it.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng also used to clean up the land of the country and achieved great success in Fujian. Now with the support of the emperor and the support of generals like Liu Jun, Huang Daozhou and Yang Tinglin believed that they could do it with them. Whoever dared to stop them would overturn them.

For the sake of millions of stones of food that year, Liu Jun slapped Huang Zhou and his two men's chests. He and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Yunyang Town under his command would fully support the rectification and cleaning work chaired by Huang Daozhou and Yang Tinglin. When necessary, the soldiers of the Yunyang camp could rush up to quell any rebellion at any time.

With Liu Jun’s guarantee, Huang Zhou and the others’ confidence was further strengthened.

"What I worry most now is Zhu Dadian!" Yang Tinglin said last.

"Leave it to me by Zhu Futai, and I will ask Zhu Futai to support us."

After the discussion, Liu Jun went directly to the Censorate Office, Yunyang Censorate Office, which is the Governor's Office. The governor of the Ming Dynasty was appointed as the Censor's Office and belonged to the Censor's Office system. Therefore, their Governor's Office is often the Censor's Office.

Zhu Dadian served as the right deputy chief censor of the Censorate, and now Liu Jun is also appointed as the right deputy chief censor of the Censor of the Censorate.

"Sir, General Liu is looking for a meeting outside."

In the official hall, a servant reported.

Zhu Dadian was thinking about the fact that the master had been going to the capital for some time, but he still had no letter back, which made Zhu Dadian a little confused.

Hearing the report below, he didn't raise his head, "General Liu, which General Liu?"

"Zhennan Hou Liu Town!"

"Liu Jun?" Zhu Dadian looked up. He was a little strange. Liu Jun had never met him for a while. He sent someone to spread it and could not come. He could not even invite him. He could not even meet Liu Jun himself. He could not find him for business, and he would not come to hold a banquet.

"Why did this Liu Jun fall at this time?" Zhu Dadian muttered, "Please come in."

When Liu Jun entered the official hall, Zhu Dadian was still sitting behind the table, not even getting up, and it seemed as if he hadn't seen Liu Jun come in, he took a note and was still writing and scratching with a pen.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Jun was a little funny. He turned around and waved his hand at the yamen runner who led him in, then walked straight to the table and chairs on the side and sat down on his own.

Zhu Dadian actually kept paying attention to Liu Jun. He wanted to deliberately let Liu Jun go for a while so that this young martial artist could know his superiority. Who knew that Liu Jun was so rude that he actually walked there and sat down, which was as convenient as his official hall.

"Cough cough!" Zhu Dadian pretended to cough twice.

Unfortunately, Liu Jun was still sitting there without even turning his head.

Zhu Dadian was annoyed and coughed twice again, but Liu Jun still ignored him.

Zhu Dadian couldn't sit still.

He stood up and walked out from behind the table, "Oh, I just handled the emergency document, but I didn't notice that Jiye had arrived. That fool with no eyes didn't know how to report it."

Liu Jun turned his head and stood up at this time.

"It is inevitable that the people below will be negligent. If Master Wei is here, it would definitely not be so. By the way, why didn't Master Wei meet?"

"Master Wei is going out to do some errands," Zhu Dadian said casually.

"Is that so? Where did you do it?"

"I'm going to Xiangyang."

"Have you gone to Xiangyang? But why did I hear Liu Dusi's letter saying that he seemed to have met Master Wei in the capital?"

Zhu Dadian was a little impatient, "Why did General Liu come to my Censorate's Office today? I couldn't even invite him no matter how much I invited him."

Liu Jun turned his head and looked around the government hall, and replied casually, "By the grace of the emperor, I added the title of right assistant censor to Liu. Isn't this, Liu is now a member of the Censorate. Today I came to the Censorate's Office to take a look. Zhu Futai, do you think, where is the right place for me to put the table?"

"What?"

"Hey, that's right. Look, I'm also from the Censorate now. This is the yamen of our Yunyang Censorate. I think, since I'm from the Censorate, I should also set up a table here. When I have time, I can also work here."

Zhu Dadian laughed so much that he said, "The Emperor has given you the title of Right Censor Censor?" Liu Jun is really lawless. He dares to say anything. What qualifications are you, a general from a martial arts generation, to be given the title of Censor Censorship? You want to set up a table here, so you are hysterical.

"It's not exactly."

Liu Jun smiled, "The emperor also added the title of Right Minister of War to me."

"Oh, is that right? Did the emperor still give you the position of governor Yunyang and the military affairs of the military?" Zhu Dadian said sarcastically.

"Mr. Liu is just a martial artist, so he dare not have some extravagance." Liu Jun smiled, "If Master Futai doesn't welcome me to come here to put a table, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Actually, I came today, there was something for Master Futai."

Liu Jun took out a wooden box the size of a book from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Dadian.

Zhu Dadian looked at the box in front of him with some surprise. Could it be that Liu Jun is here to give gifts?

"What's this?"

Liu Jun smiled, "Isn't this what I heard that Lord Futai is about to have a 60th birthday? How could Liu not give him a birthday gift?"

Zhu Dadian took it with half belief and half doubt, guessing what was here.

"Sir, let's open it and watch it after I leave." Liu Jun said, "Liu is still in charge of military affairs, so it is not convenient to stay for a long time, so he will no longer disturb Lord Futai. When the birthday of Lord Futai, Liu will definitely come again to celebrate his birthday in person."

After saying that, Liu Jun turned around and left.

Zhu Dadian stood there with a box and was stunned for a while, "Domstic!"

But he quickly focused on the box in his hand. The box was decorated very delicately and didn't know what was inside. Maybe it was a jade or a golden Buddha?

He couldn't wait to open the box and then saw two folds in it.

Zhu Dadian frowned, picked up the above one first, opened it and couldn't help but change his color. It was actually the memorial of impeachment of Liu Jun that he asked Master Wei to bring to Beijing to present to the emperor. The memorial was covered with his handwritten handwriting. This was definitely the memorial he asked Master Wei to bring to Beijing.

But why did this memorial come to Liu Jun's hands? He turned to think that Liu Jun mentioned Master Wei just now. Could it be that Liu Jun captured Master Wei and robbed the memorial? How dare this martial artist!
