If you are not familiar with it, we have to give you a gift first: "Brother Wang asks you to come. Since you are the prince's palace, you must not be an ordinary person." I smiled and helped Wang Fangyi up. When my arms were in contact, I could feel that his muscles were very tight and strong. It seemed that this guy was just like what Li Zhi said, both civil and military, at least on the surface.

Li Zhi whispered his forehead twice and wiped his pen: "Wang Qing should sit down, my master has always been a polite courtesy."

The three of them sat down with the guest and the host. Li Zhi pointed at Wang Fangyi and said to me, "Master, this is the cousin of his disciple Zhuojing. He is now serving as the brigade commander in my Jinwu Guard of the Tang Dynasty. He said that he is also in the army with his master to serve the court." I understand Li Zhi's words. This kid is also very smart and knows to appoint a relative. However, whether to use it or not, the right is with me.

"Since I am not an outsider, I don't have those false tributes anymore. Brother Fang Jun, I have met Brother Fang Yi." I smiled and greeted Wang Lushuai again. Lushuai was just a lament. He was a school official in charge of 500 people in the army. He was a seventh rank, and was slightly lower than the lieutenant. However, with the care of Li Zhi and the relationship between the Crown Princess, I think if Wang Fangyi really had some skills, his future prospects would naturally be limitless.

"How dare you bear to be so proud of the Lord." Wang Fangyi didn't expect me to be so easy to talk to. He couldn't help but be stunned and turned his eyes to Li Zhi. Li Zhi smiled and nodded: "I have always been like this. You don't have to be polite. Come on, please present the wine and food."

As soon as the wine and food were served, the two glasses of wine were drunk, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward. Wang Fangyi had to be considered a wonderful person, well, very talkative, and was as witty as a bead. In addition, his knowledge of the military aspects of the Tang Dynasty and his understanding of military affairs surprised me a little.

He believed that in the military reform of the Tang Dynasty, what made the soldiers most excited was the system of awarding land for merits. In addition, from the change of the military system to the recruitment system, the military combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty will not only not weaken. In the long run, if the military pickets, the staff system and the middle and lower-level officers are separated, it will not only eliminate the idea of ​​generals at all levels to hold troops, but also increase the control of the Tang Dynasty over the army. In addition, the reform of the military supervision system will make the military force of the Tang Dynasty no longer be subjected to inappropriate external forces when planning and fighting. Similarly, it will prevent the eunuch group of courts from infiltration into the military, causing chaos in the late Han Dynasty.

As for the Tang Dynasty's military soldiers, they actually have little to do with ordinary people. In fact, this is why the Tang Dynasty not only investigated the national household registration clearly, but also divided it into nine levels according to the economic situation of each family. Why is this? It is because, according to Uncle Li's laws, any third-class household is not qualified to be a soldier. In other words, it is not your turn to a poor family, even if you want to join the army.

First, they are worried that families who are too poor generally lack labor. If they are withdrawn from the main labor force to join the army, will this family still survive? If they do not live, these people are likely to become the source of social unrest. Therefore, this can be regarded as the good intentions of the emperors of this era, and the political institutions of ancient dynasties were also very meticulous.

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that only high-quality and medium-sized families were in high-quality families. Anyone who was willing to join the army would be selected by the government and formally served as the army. The rent and mediocre transfer of soldiers was exempted. This was the preferential treatment of the state for them. In addition, there was no salary, and all armed people were armed, and the soldiers might do it themselves. Such families gathered 1,200 families and became a mansion, which was equivalent to the current military region.

If a certain place is a military important place, a prefecture will be established there. The upper-class people and strong men are recruited as the prefectures. The number of such prefectures is sometimes large, sometimes small. There are more than 600 prefectures in the Tang Dynasty. If these more than 600 prefectures are all central prefectures, then there will be more than 600,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty, and at least 400,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty, and these 400,000 or even 600,000 troops do not need a penny or a grain of rice to support the state, because they have land and land. While defending the country, they also produce independently.

At present, the military system of the Tang Dynasty began to change, that is, the emergence of military academy, which gradually transformed the original military system to the recruitment system. Of course, this transformation was a slow process, and the national and local finances were used to support soldiers, which was actually a win-win situation. The recruiter's tax at home was reduced by half, which means that the full amount of military personnel would not be exempted from the military personnel. However, all the equipment of the recruited professional soldiers was provided by the state and no longer the private person was responsible or paid for it.

In addition, there are already soldiers with considerable meritorious positions, because the meritorious positions are just an honor and are not related to actual officials

In other words, he was still a soldier. So the government officials sometimes returned to the service and called him to the mission. Therefore, the position of the medal is not honored and turned into humiliation. If others call you a medal like a lieutenant or a deputy lieutenant, it is no longer a kind of respect, but a kind of ridicule. The reputation of a military officer is looked down upon, and the status of a soldier will also degenerate.

Another thing is quite important. Most of the soldiers in the palace are children of wealthy families. Their clothes, horses, and weapons are all prepared and carried with them.

Because their land does not require rent and they do not serve as a service to the country, they have the strength to bring their own arms, and they are of course worthy of their length, fat and thin, and can also cooperate with their physical strength. The character of the horse also understands that his life depends on these, and his future achievements also depend on these, so all clothing, armor, weapons, and horses are very good, very particular and excellent, which is something that other soldiers cannot reach.

Moreover, the soldiers of the government were still afraid that the country's salary was not enough, so they had to carry some pocket money with them. In the Tang Dynasty, silk was used as coins, and everyone carried silk pieces. But when they arrived at the frontier, the leaders of the frontier and the battalions would say: You should hand over your silk pieces to me and store them in the storage room, and collect them when needed. So they deliberately asked the soldiers to do hard work, do eight o'clock a day, and ask them to do ten o'clock, and they would not eat or sleep well, and torture him everywhere, hoping that if he dies, he could confiscate the property he stored.

Nowadays, a large number of professional soldiers who have been strictly trained have entered the positions of middle and lower-level officers. The establishment of the staff system and the emergence of military discipline inspections have caused this behavior of embezzling soldiers' property and paying military pay to be greatly controlled, making the highest commander no longer have the style of the previous masters who used to implement trust and personal control of their troops...

"Babababa..." Applauding, I was so happy, so excited, damn, this guy Li Zhi really brought me a treasure. No matter what, I will make up for this person!

Wang Fangyi seems to have been preparing for this meeting today for a long time, otherwise he would never be able to make these incisive statements in such a short time, but no matter what, his observation ability and calmness are really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Just this point is not an exaggeration to call him a great talent.

I was both happy and excited, but Li Zhi next to me looked shocked. It seemed that Li Zhi, a fence-bearer, only paid attention to cultivating his own power, but never expected that this guy was also a big guy.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

However, no matter what Li Zhi thought, he picked up the wine cup and invited Wang Fangyi to drink it and asked him a smile: "Brother Fang Yi is very kind, but I have a question. I want to ask Brother Fang Yi. I don't know if Brother Fang Yi is willing to stay by my side and go to Weinan County together to be a small official with no grades, or is he willing to go to the Tang Military Academy to further study."

"This..." Wang Fangyi couldn't help but feel a little fluctuating on his face when he heard what I said. However, he lowered his head and thought silently for a while, raised his head, and bowed to me solemnly: "Fang Yi, I have met the county magistrate."

"Hahaha, okay, Brother Fang Yi should ask you up quickly. If you can get Brother Fang Yi's help, I will be more wings. Thank you for your hard work and recruiting talents for your humble ministers." After I helped Wang Fang Yi up, I turned around and flattered Li Zhi. Li Zhi looked happy and said, "It's just a coincidence. If it weren't for Zhujing who recommended her cousin to me, Zhi wouldn't have the chance to understand that you are so virtuous in the answer between Master and Qing."

After drinking for thirty years, Wang Fangyi looked happy and seemed to be unable to sit still. In addition, there seemed to be something between Li Zhi and I, so Wang Fangyi used the excuse to see his cousin, Li Zhi's Crown Princess Wang, and said goodbye.
