Zhao Pu stared at Ye Hua. He wanted to get encouragement from Ye Hua's eyes. After all, this was his hard-working method and needed someone to support him very much. Ye Hua was the best candidate. However, Zhao Pu was about to be disappointed. Ye Hua was silent for a while before slowly saying, "You may have more suggestions, let me tell you all!"

As Ye Hua said, now it is just a military ration case, Zhao Pu can write to Chai Rong, so there is no need to come to Ye Hua. Since he has come, it means that Zhao Pu has greater ambitions, which is far from setting up a transshipment envoy.

Zhao Pu took a deep breath, took out a note from his sleeve, and placed it respectfully in front of Ye Hua.

"This is the strategy I have prepared for Your Majesty. Please check it out."

Ye Hua nodded, he picked it up, opened it and watched. Ye Hua didn't see it quickly. He carefully savored every sentence, and Zhao Pu's hard work was of course extraordinary.

In the letter, Zhao Pu proposed a strategy of twelve words.

"Taking down his power, controlling his money and grain, and collecting his elite troops."

These twelve words are aimed at local vassal states, but also at the disadvantages exposed this time.

Chai Rong took advantage of the Gao family to take back the inheritance power of the vassal states. The governors of various places and deputy governors must be appointed by the court, and the troops must be dispatched, and they must obey the will of the emperor.

This only solves part of the problem. There is still a lot of effort to completely eliminate the feudal states.

Zhao Pu suggested that the powers of the Jiedushi should be taken back, such as personnel, finance, taxation, criminal and other powers should be restricted to the relevant military aspects, and the rest should not be touched.

Arrange the transfer envoy and collect grain taxes, which are responsible for transporting money and grain to the capital, as well as taking over the materials from the capital and transferring them to the local and military.

The governor cannot touch the finance and taxation, so he cannot expand his army arbitrarily and strengthen his own strength privately.

For those local vassal states that still have considerable power, they were required to hand over their elite troops and be incorporated into the imperial guards. At the same time, they also had to limit the number of subordinates and followers of generals to prevent them from becoming bigger...

If this series of measures continues to be used, it is closely linked and airtight, and it is all at the critical point. As long as it can be done more than half, the disadvantages of the vassal states that have been plagued by two hundred years will be completely eliminated. Ye Hua has no doubts at all. After all, this is what the Zhao brothers did in history. Pearls and jades are ahead, but the Great Zhou will repeat the same mistakes and become "weak Song"? Is this really what he hopes to see?

Ye Hua was asking himself, and couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Zhao Pu wanted to convince Ye Hua very much. He said sincerely, "Marty, just take this deficit as an example. This account cannot be counted in the political affairs hall, nor can it all be counted in the civil servants. This is simply a confusing account."

Zhao Pu asked Ye Hua, "Marty, do you know how many troops occupy the local area right now?"

“It should be half!”

"It's 60%!" Zhao Pu sighed helplessly.

The so-called "army" is the name of the troops stationed on the border in the Tang Dynasty. The big one is called Jun and the small one is called Shouti. Since the Five Dynasties, the army has become an administrative area. As there are more and more wars, there are more and more "army" there. When you look at the map of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, you will find that the familiar place names have become "Some Army", which makes people confused and confused, and you can't make any sense.

According to the rules, the army is under the prefectures and prefectures, which is higher than the county level, but does not govern the county.

But in the era when soldiers were the kings of grass heads, how could the military leaders listen to the arrangements of the prefects? Isn’t that a joke?

Therefore, almost all the troops were above the prefectures and counties, and the Jiedushi also became local officials, not only holding military power, but also having great power in civil affairs.

Take this for example. The Political Affairs Hall ordered the delivery of food and grass to the front line.

Ordinary prefectures and counties will obey orders and allocate them in full. Of course, there are many greedy people among them, and they are even very amazing. But compared to those "army", the situation is much better.

In order to expand its power, local governors of course had to be greedy for food and money, embezzle the national treasury and people's wealth, and strengthen their own strength.

More than half of the Great Zhou rule were controlled by various "army".

Just imagine, half of it is the civil servant who has the final say, and half is the military man in power, and they are intertwined and complicated.

Faced with such a bad situation, it would be strange if there is no problem!

In response to this corruption case and the separatist vassal states, Zhao Pu proposed his full plan.

In addition to those twelve words, he also suggested abolishing the army, changing it to a prefecture, sending civil servants to govern the local area. In this way, he could be united as an arm. When encountering military affairs, military men concentrate on fighting, civil servants concentrate on the rear, and each of them was responsible for one stake, and they could work together and make no mistakes.

It's a good idea!

Ye Hua sighed secretly, yes, this is the path taken by the "big coward" in history. Zhao Pu took it out in advance and wanted to use it for Dazhou.

No wonder Zhao Pu wanted to find him. Such a big thing, without strong support from a strong character, would not try to convince the emperor, let alone implement it.

Speaking of which, Zhao Pu is also unique. As long as Ye Hua is willing to nod, he will be halfway. And with his merits, Zhao Pu can completely enter the Political Affairs Hall in one fell swoop.

Nowadays, those prime ministers, Fan Zhi is good at laws and regulations, Wang Pu is good at literature, Wei Renpu is good at calculating, Li Gu is an expert in financial management, Xue Juzheng has poor ability to do things... After all, the court lacks a prime minister who truly harmonizes yin and yang, assists the king, and governs the world!

To a certain extent, Guo Wei hopes that Ye Hua will shoulder the mission of the prime minister.

But he is a martial artist after all, and there are still many inconveniences. If Zhao Pu could enter the Political Affairs Hall, he would be the well-deserved true prime minister.

Facing Ye Hua, Zhao Pu did not hide his ambitions. "Marty, the marquis asked himself that this strategy is for the good of the court, and there is no personal selfish thoughts. If the marquis can support it, the marquis is willing to jointly present to His Majesty with the marquis."

Zhao Pu is quite generous to give half of such a great contribution to Ye Hua.

But Ye Hua shook his head, put the letter on the table, and his index finger rhythmically hit the table.

"Mr. Zhao, I naturally know your good intentions. But I want to ask for advice. If you do this, where will the warrior be placed?"

"really!"

Zhao Pu lowered his head and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

When he came to Ye Hua, he not only valued Ye Hua's influence on Chai Rong, but also valued Ye Hua's identity.

After all, doing this is clearly aimed at the warriors, and the warriors' rebound can be imagined.

Ye Hua is the champion Hou, the number one in the army. If he can stand on his side and support him strongly, the dissatisfaction of other warriors can be suppressed.

Zhao Pu worked with Ye Hua. In his mind, Ye Hua still has a very big view of the situation and will not obstruct actions that benefit the country and the people for his own selfishness.

Zhao Pu was full of confidence, but he was wrong, and Ye Hua couldn't ignore the interests of the military. Sure enough, he should not be too naive in being a human being. Zhao Pu reached out and prepared to take back the letter, just pretending that he didn't say anything.

"etc!"

Ye Hua stopped Zhao Pu, "I'll ask you where you plan to place a military man. You haven't given me an answer."

"This... why should the marquis force others to do something? I really don't know." Zhao Pu shook his head repeatedly.

Ye Hua smiled, "I dared to write a letter without thinking about it. This is not what the prime minister should do!"

Zhao Pu was stunned.

Ye Hua continued, "According to your method, I have collected elite troops, controlled money and grain, and put aside the power of affairs. Local people must lack money and food, and neglected training. How can I resist foreign humiliation and wipe out the world? If you don't have a complete solution, I will not write a letter with you, and Your Majesty will not agree."

"ah!"

Zhao Pu was stunned. Could it be that he had misunderstood. The Marquis despised his incomplete vision and his thoughts were not comprehensive?

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Martialists are not only the source of disaster, but also the cornerstone of a country. Without a strong army, all prosperity is a mirror and water. Lord Zhao, when formulating strategies, selfishness and prejudice are the most taboo. Think about it carefully!"

Zhao Pu came out of Ye's mansion and was in a daze, as if he was beaten to eggplant by frost. He thought that his perfect strategy was actually pointed out as a fatal drawback. He only thought about half of the things and half of them, but he didn't expect that in this way, he was the prime minister! He was still not in a hurry!

When he returned home, Zhao Pu locked himself in the study room, but he didn't come out for a whole three days. He frantically searched for various classics and found a solution.

Zhao Pu is not a person who loves reading, but this time, he has been desperate to read the classics of the previous dynasty, and search for letters and books from military strategists of all dynasties, reading one by one, looking for a solution. After finding the idea, he still has to think about it repeatedly, and if it is not suitable, it will continue to think about it...

After three days of retreat and thought, Zhao Pu found a set of solutions.

On the evening of the next day, Zhao Pu came to Ye's mansion again. His face was covered in stubble and his eyes were red. He looked very embarrassed, but his eyes were full of brilliance.

"I have found a solution, Marquis, wait and see!"

Ye Zhong walked out, "It's Lord Zhao, please come here."

Zhao Pu was full of confidence and followed Ye Zhong to the flower hall. In the flower hall, two people were sitting and talking. One was Ye Hua, who was holding a teapot and making tea for the other one.

"Your Majesty, today is talking about state affairs. I dare not prepare wine here."
