    After that, Yu Chong resigned, leaving Huang Mingyuan alone with Li Zixiao.

    After Yu Chong left, Huang Mingyuan handed another document to Li Zixiao, and it read "Datong Military Officers' Military Merit Receiving Land Plan (Provisional)" written on it.

    Li Zixiao was a little confused. Military meritorious service was an important part of the criticism of the Qin Dynasty in past dynasties.  Moreover, military merit and receiving land is the core basis of military merit and nobility. In principle, it excludes blood and patriarchal relationships, and now it also seriously endangers the core interests of aristocratic families.

    Li Zixiao knew that Huang Mingyuan was very talented, but was afraid that he would act recklessly, so he hurriedly advised: "Master, be careful about this matter."

    "Don't worry, Zixiao, I know what I'm doing. Now the development of the army has actually reached a bottleneck. Only by opening up the fields of soldiers in Datong and stirring up this stagnant water can we promote the development of Datong on the one hand, and the development of Datong on the other.  The hearts of soldiers remain in Datong.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the land of the officials, let's talk about the Yongye of Ding men and middle men, who started to receive the land at the age of eighteen.  The Northern Qi Dynasty granted 80 acres of open fields to men, 40 acres to women, and 60 acres to oxen, with a limit of four per household. Another 20 acres of mulberry or hemp fields were granted.  It looks good, but everyone knows that this exists literally.

    Take Datong as an example. Previously, the land was wasteland, agricultural facilities were lacking, and food output was limited.  In this way, most of the land is in the hands of the officers. These soldiers can only live by confiscating as much land as they can.  But after this battle, I think the entire Sui Dynasty will usher in a relatively stable development period.  I'm afraid there won't be too many conflicts in the short term. What will you do when that happens?  Without capture, soldiers have no motivation. So what can we do to maintain the basic combat effectiveness of this army?

    Zhang Huzi made a good point before he died. Those who farm at home "have wives and children and live a good life farming, while those who serve in the army live until today and never tomorrow." Not only did the officers and soldiers feel uncomfortable listening to it, but I also felt uncomfortable listening to it.  A life as a soldier is too cheap these days.  "

    Li Zixiao nodded and said: "My lord is right, soldiers must have a stable financial source to have the motivation to persevere. But for military merit and receiving a field, I am afraid that this matter requires the approval of the King of Jin."

    "Of course, without the consent of King Jin, I can't do this anyway. In fact, I have communicated with King Jin a long time ago and hope to conduct experiments in Datong.

    Zixiao, you see, the current military system is based on the equalization of land.  But with the advent of the prosperous age, the increase in population was far greater than the increase in land.  It has only been twenty years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and land annexation among the powerful has become increasingly serious.  The targets of the government army recruitment were mainly farmers with equal land. However, with the destruction of the land equalization system, the government army recruitment point system lost the economic conditions for its implementation.  I think that in the future, there will be more and more vacancies for government soldiers, making it more difficult to mobilize for conscription and defense.

    Of course, Datong is too small, but looking at now, we have to plan the entire Fengzhou area together. I think after this battle, the Fengzhou general manager will definitely have no problem.  "

    "Lord, under the land grant system, land ownership belongs to the military government, and soldiers have the right to possess and use the land. But if it is carried out according to the original land grant among the people, I am afraid it will become the second government military system. And in fact,  The implementation of the government-military system not only saves the country¡¯s military expenditures, but also guarantees economic and agricultural construction.¡±

    Li Zixiao still disagrees with Huang Mingyuan's opinions.  After all, the Qin Dynasty's military merit fields could not be increased, but if the average field was established, it would soon evolve into the original old situation, which would just give soldiers more fields.  In fact, it is just a matter of boiling water and stopping it from boiling.

    "Zixiao, of course the land I am talking about is not simply to distribute the land equally to the soldiers, but to distribute the land according to the size of the military merit."

    Seeing that Li Zixiao was about to refute again, Huang Mingyuan quickly interrupted Li Zixiao.  It is true that it is not feasible to implement the Qin system, but in fact, most of the laws of the Han Dynasty were cloaked in Han law and were essentially the flesh and blood of Qin law.

    Huang Mingyuan gave Li Zixiao a detailed explanation of the way he envisioned receiving the land.

    "Zixiao, I imagine there are three types of fields:

    The first one is the merit field, which is used to reward military achievements.  According to the level of military merit, a field standard is established.  Then, according to the size of the military merit, the newly cultivated land was allocated to the soldiers for cultivation.  Individuals are not allowed to buy and sell these lands privately, but can only be bought and sold with the government.

    The other is the military field. Anyone who joins the military register will receive an additional twenty acres of land on the basis of the land received by the country. Those with military registration can enjoy all the income from the military field.  At the same time, a period of twelve years is set. After the period expires, the military field will be owned by the individual and can be bought and sold.

    The last type is Shitian. Those who are discharged from the army or killed in battle due to injuries will be Shitian according to their disability level and the circumstances of their death in battle.  All output is given to his children and family.  Until their parents die and their children grow up, the land is taken back.  "

      Li Zixiao was shocked, this was greater than all the shocks he had received today.

    What kind of experiment of a new system? This is not just a matter of receiving land. Abandoning the military field and the land, the merit field system is a replica of the military merit and title system in Shang Yang's reform.  At that time, the state's land grant and private ownership of land were the basis of the military merit system.

    Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty, the Liu family and his son have spent nearly a hundred years working hard to abolish the system of general merit and title with Huang Lao, Confucianism and other factions. If Huang Mingyuan now uses it again, what kind of uproar will it cause? Li Zixiao  can not imagine.

    "Lord, I don't agree. It's too risky. Not to mention military fields and military fields, just a military field will be criticized. And if all military achievements are linked to land, land and manpower will be a problem. Master, if  Because of this matter, once he is attacked by everyone in the court, even King Jin may not be able to protect my lord."

    Seeing Li Zixiao¡¯s objection, Huang Mingyuan laughed instead.

    "Zi Xiao, please don't disturb me. I wonder if Zi Xiao has ever heard of 'selling horsemeat with a cow's head'?"

    "Selling horsemeat with an ox's head on it? My lord said that if Qi Linggong is a good wife and her husband is a groom, the people of the country will do the same."

    Huang Mingyuan nodded.

    "Zixiao, of course we cannot directly grant land to the soldiers according to their merits. If this is the case, those Guandong aristocratic families and Guanlong nobles will not be able to rebel against the heaven. Even the saints will not allow it. I will not and the whole world  Enemy.

    But this does not mean that we do not have flexible ways to implement the merit field system.  The third of my three major disciplines is: 'All seizures must be returned to the public and distributed uniformly according to the system.  ¡¯ It was established for this purpose, and every time the army wins a battle, there will be a large-scale reward.  I plan to convert all these things into land and distribute them to the soldiers.  At that time, it will just be the soldiers using the spoils of war in their hands to trade with the government's supplies, and it will not attract attention.  and.  Although the land is allocated to soldiers, the soldiers do not actually manage the land.  "

    Soldiers don¡¯t really manage land, so are they trying to deceive soldiers?  Li Zixiao couldn't react.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
