Chapter 31 This is called Dahe's heart undead

Li Jiancheng turned around and looked at Chen Ying with a calm mind. Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly, walked to the side of the desk, picked up the kettle, started drinking so hard that he choked and coughed continuously when he drank a sip of water.

Chen Ying glanced at Li Jiancheng and chuckled softly: "It seems that everything is not going well today, and even the kettle is like a grudge against you!"

Li Shimin pointed at his nose angrily and said, "Is this a cowardly man whom I don't even dare to face...a cowardly man?"

Chen Ying's smile froze and looked at Li Jiancheng in shock.

Chen Ying only learned that Li Jiancheng, Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian had a fierce conflict in the imperial study room. He did not know that Fang Xuanling did not shy away, and directly uncovered the wound in Li Jiancheng's heart and pulled his wounds into blood.

Li Jiancheng also had difficulties with Li Jiancheng. In fact, each of them had his own difficulties in dismissing officials from the East Palace, such as Wu Shirong, Liang Luoren, and Zhao Wenke.

Especially Wu Shirong, not only is he older, but he also has to raise five grandchildren. His oldest grandson is fourteen years old and his youngest granddaughter is only six and a half years old. She has never seen her biological father since she was born. These five grandchildren are all supported by Wu Shirong's salary alone.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, 90% of the court officials came from aristocratic families, and the salary of the court did not affect their normal life. In fact, from Pei Ji to Qingliu, like Chu Liang, Chu Suiliang and Kong Yingda, they all had a wealth of wealth. Even if the court did not pay their salary for ten years, they would definitely not be hungry.

Therefore, Li Jiancheng also supported Fang Xuanling to abolish officials, but some officials were not ignored by the court. Now Wu Shirong is old, weak and sick, and has grandchildren that need to be raised. The whole family of eleven people relies on the salary of Wu Shirong as a seventh-rank official.

Once officials were abolished like Fang Xuanling, Wu Shirong would inevitably be in trouble. As for Zhao Wenke who had not tried a case for several consecutive years, he was actually similar to Wu Shirong. When Zhao Wenke was a clerk in front of Li Jiancheng, he joined the army to participate in the battle against Chang'an. In order to protect Li Jiancheng from harm, Zhao Wenke used his identity to block the dust bottle thrown from the city wall for Li Jiancheng.

However, Zhao Wenke was just a civil servant, without armor and helmet on his head. He was hit by a gray bottle weighing up to one and a half pounds and a half pounds on the head of the city wall, which hurt the cerebellum. The sequelae of Zhao Wenke was no different from a normal person when he was awake, but once he committed, his IQ was like a seven or eight-year-old child.

Therefore, Zhao Wenke was not willing to try the case at all, because he was afraid of making mistakes in his hands. In theory, people like Zhao Wenke could not be an official at all. However, he was born in a poor family and his whole family lived on his salary.

Once the layoff is lifted, Li Jiancheng can't imagine how Zhao Wenke's whole family should survive.

Originally, Chen Ying didn't understand these inside stories. He only knew that Fang Xuanling's behavior of abolishing officials was very fair and just. No matter what his origin, he would be immediately abolished if he was unable to do his current job.

Now, Chen Ying also understands that Li Jiancheng, a good man, has suffered a heart attack. However, Chen Ying cannot say that Li Jiancheng has done something wrong. After all, two sons like Wu Shirong sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty, leaving only young children and young girls, and they have not yet grown up. The court is unreasonable to their whole family without caring about it.

If everything is done on a one-way basis, will soldiers like Wu Shirong still dare to work for the court in the future? At any time, heroes cannot shed blood and tears.

Li Jiancheng felt very aggrieved inside, and pointed at himself and said, "Am I wrong?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Your Majesty, are you really wrong?"

Li Jiancheng was stunned and looked at Chen Ying for a long time, as if he didn't know Chen Ying, and shook his head repeatedly. He pointed at Chen Ying, and for a while, he was speechless: "You..."

Seeing that Li Jiancheng was about to the verge of an outbreak, Chen Ying immediately explained: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Official titles are the most important tools of the country. Those who choose officials are governed, and those who choose officials are etiquette, let alone selling official titles for personal gain? Leveraging the orders of the court to do personal personal gain?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said in grief and anger: "I can't do it if I make me careless and righteous!"

An emperor like Li Jiancheng is a great blessing for his ministers, but not for the country. If the system of a court is not perfect, whether it is done or not, the result will be the same, or if it is done well or not, it is the same, it is the lack of the system. It is like "eating a big pot of rice", and the end result is that no one has enough food to eat.

The Tang Dynasty court was actually like a large enterprise. Li Jiancheng is now the chairman of the board. The officials of the court were all management, and the royal family members and aristocrats were all shareholders of all large and small. If all the management of a company was replaced by the relatives of the shareholders, then the enterprise was not far from bankruptcy.

Now, the court urgently needs reform, and to form a system of rewarding diligence and punishing laziness from the system, rewarding the best and eliminating the inferior, and to conduct assessments according to the responsibilities of officials and working completion, without "one-size-fits-all". Only when there is differences can there be incentives.

In this way, each member has his or her own job responsibilities and needs to do a good job. If his or her job fails to meet the requirements of his or her job responsibilities or fails to complete the job well, it should be naturally reflected during the assessment. Once he or she completes his or her work, even if the department or other personnel in the company fail to complete the work, the member should not be implicated.

Only by introducing competition mechanisms within the enterprise can we make full use of our talents. Everyone thinks and works together, so that the Tang Dynasty court can develop better.

Chen Ying felt that at this time, it was time for the Tang Dynasty to launch the "Retirement Fund System". Once the interests of soldiers are not guaranteed, the combat effectiveness of the army will decline rapidly. Looking through history, we will definitely find that in the early days of the founding of the country, the combat effectiveness of the army was very high.

Needless to say, the Tang Dynasty was invincible in the early Tang Dynasty. In fact, the Sui Dynasty was the same, and it beat a Turk into two parts, such as Tuyuhun, Tubo, Xueyantuo, and Tiele. Even the Song army, which was known as the weak Song Dynasty, actually fought from east to west. Zhao Guangyi's two northern expeditions were initiated by the Song army. Of course, there were also the Ming army, Hongwu Northern Expeditions, and Chengzu Five Expeditions in the Mobei North.

Although there were some reasons for the veterans at the beginning of the founding of the country, of course, the most important thing is that at the beginning of the founding of the country, the national system guaranteed the interests of soldiers, killing enemies and earning meritorious service, which was the only way out for poor families and common people (before the imperial examination system). However, in this era, the abolition of old and weak soldiers was basically ignored. Generals like Wu Shirong, who had a lonely and helpless family, are not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon.

Chen Ying walked to the desk, picked up his pen and started writing.

Chen Ying's writing habits are the same as those of later generations, and they all use the text format. The beginning is why this "Law on the Protection of Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty" was established.

"War determines the destiny of the country, and the soldiers are the leaders of the people."

Ordinary guards of the Tang Dynasty did work more tiring than slaves, and went to the front line with their heads to play hard, but their lives were very difficult. Many people came for the little military pay or the rewards after the war. How many of them could come for the ideal of "serving the king and defending the country", I really don't know.

Obviously, we cannot expect these peasants and refugees with poor cultural level to have such high ideological awareness. These ordinary soldiers have low requirements and are satisfied with their daily lives. Being able to get military pay and rewards after making meritorious contributions are their greatest hope.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying's quick writing, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

The Secretariat took a newly written edict, walked up to Li Jiancheng, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the edict has been written."

Li Jiancheng waved: "Put there."

In fact, if Chen Ying did not come, Li Jiancheng had decided to remove Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian from his official positions. This edict was the imperial edict written by the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat.

As long as Li Jiancheng stamps a seal, the legal effect will be exercised.

The Secretariat asked carefully: "Your Majesty, you need to use seals."

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment and continued to wave his hand and said, "It's too late today, you go back and rest earlier."

After the Secretariat's wife was listed for Li Jiancheng, she slowly retreated.

At this time, Chen Ying's brain became more and more open and his thinking became more and more agile. During the period of cold weapons, the physical requirements of soldiers were very strict. Chen Ying first proposed the concept of retirement in "The Retirement Fund of the Tang Soldiers", setting the retirement period of ordinary soldiers to 45 years old.

The grassroots officers at the rank of the lieutenant level can be relaxed to 50 years old, the age limit for officers at the rank of the lieutenant level is 55 years old, the age limit for officers at the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

Whether soldiers or generals, once they reach their age, they may become local officials or retire. The court will set up a special retirement fee for resettlement of veterans.

The level of generals is very easy to solve. After all, the higher the official position, the smaller the number of generals, and they can adopt a system that is equivalent to the official title and receive pensions.

Chen Ying divided the service period of soldiers into three levels: five years, ten years and fifteen years.

Since ordinary soldiers have served for more than five years and less than ten years, they will enjoy 30% of the land in the palace and military fields. Since 30 acres of land are automatically converted into Yongye fields, they can be passed on to future generations and will no longer be recovered as before, and they will enjoy 30% of the tax exemption.

If you serve for less than fifteen years, you can enjoy 50% of the tax reduction treatment, which is 50 acres of military land and converted into Yongye land.

Once you have more than fifteen years, you will enjoy the merit fields of the Mansion Army, and all will be converted into eternal fields, one hundred acres of merit fields, and all will be exempted from taxes.

If the soldiers who died will enjoy this treatment.

The disabled enjoys 80% of the privileges, and the eighty acres of military land are converted into Yongye land, and the imperial court enjoys 80% of the tax-free privileges.

After writing these, Chen Ying wrote down the "Law on the Protection of Military Family and Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty". This law stipulates that if anyone invades military family and martyrs of the country, the governments in various places must consider it as a crime of committing the superiors.

As Chen Ying started writing in the imperial study room. His head became more and more active, and he thought about it more and more questions. He proposed another method that could permanently ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. In fact, there were serious situations of generals not qualified in the Tang Dynasty, especially low-level officers at the rank of the lieutenant. Because the army suffered a lot in recent years, the army expanded quickly and the quality of officers was getting lower and lower, including the Zuowu Guard under Chen Ying.

According to the Tang Dynasty, the group leader was probably equivalent to the squad leader of later generations, while the team was exactly equivalent to the platoon leader, the brigade commander was equivalent to the company commander, and the lieutenant was equivalent to the battalion commander.

In the company-level officers, they need to command tactical combat tasks separately, which requires testing the officers' personal command ability. In fact, a large proportion of the lieutenants in the Tang army cannot even write their own names, and they cannot understand military orders.

In the current military system of the Tang Dynasty, once one has made meritorious service, he will also be promoted.

However, once a soldier who knows nothing, if he is brave or lucky, he can obtain the merit of beheading. Once he is promoted to the level of Zhechong Duwei or above, he will not be responsible for a soldier in the Zhebu Mansion.

Chen Ying naturally thought that in later military academies, soldiers who have made meritorious service can continue to be promoted and awarded, but they must go through military academy to study and pass the grades before they can get formal appointments!

Chen Ying was just thinking about the next piece of paper, and Li Jiancheng read it immediately, and then pondered the executability of the countermeasures.

Originally, Chen Ying did not participate in Fang Xuanling's reform. In fact, although Fang Xuanling is known as a famous historical minister and a wise minister in history, he was an ancient man after all, and had certain historical limitations. The policy reforms set are actually one-size-fits-all.

In Chen Ying's reform, all aspects were involved.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Yingyang and wrote more than a thousand words "The Pension Management System of Civil and Military Officials of the Tang Dynasty", and couldn't help but exclaim.

Then, he saw the "Regulations on the Protection of Military and Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty" written by Chen Ying, and Li Jiancheng couldn't help but say: "The person comes, saying that Wei Zheng, Pei Ju, Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and other civil and military officials went to Liangyi Hall of Tai Chi Palace to discuss!

...

Fang Xuanling raised his head and walked down the steps. He turned around, but saw Gao Shilian moving down step by step in dismay.

Fang Xuanling said: "Mr. Gao, where are you going? Do you want to have two drinks?"

Gao Shilian smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Xuanling is joking, I'd better go home and wait for the Central Envoy to come to my door."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "It's good to go back and have a sleep. These days have made you exhausted and it's just enough to take a break."

After Fang Xuanling said that, he pulled his legs towards the Shangshu Province and left.

Gao Shilian hurriedly said, "Xuanling, where are you going?"

Fang Xuanling said: "When I returned to the Shangshu Province, there are still many things that have not been completed."

Gao Shilian looked at Fang Xuanling's back, and smiled bitterly in addition to being a bitter smile.

Entering the office of the Right Chief of the Shangshu Province, Fang Xuanling waved to a Shuling Shi.

Shulingshi came here.

Fang Xuanling handed a list to Shulingshi and said, "Go and bring the resumes of these officials."

Shu Lingshi was stunned for a moment.

Fang Xuanling glared at her eyes and said unhappy: "What? Didn't you hear?"

Shulingshi hurriedly took the order and left in a hurry.

Fang Xuanling had a good time to start grinding ink by preparing the floor.

Several colleagues were lying on each other and stood up and slipped outside the door.

"Fang Xuanling really doesn't know how to live or die? His Majesty is going to dismiss him, but he still depends on him here."

"This is not called Dahe's heart undead."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

...

Inside the Ganlu Hall of Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji without any joy or anger and said, "How is Feng Deyi's condition?"

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "He is not sick at all, but... that's a heart disease."

Li Yuan still said lightly: "Is he going to dismiss Fang Xuanling?"

Pei Ji smiled and said, "The Secretariat has written all the edicts."
