Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 109 Ancestral Law
Sun Yue has already said what he wanted to say, and the rest depends on whether Zhao Kuangyin accepts it or not. He is really guilty because what he said is his own opinion after all, and he has never been a prime minister. He is not even a person in a feudal society, and what he said is only on paper. He really doesn't know what he is talking about.

What's more, this kind of thing really wasn't a meddling of his faculties. If it weren't for his young age and natural advantages of childish speech, he probably wouldn't dare to open his mouth. I'm afraid.

After a long time, Zhao Kuangyin asked Zhao Pu: "How feasible is what this kid said? How difficult is it to actually implement it?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while and said, "It's not all false words. Of course, it is difficult to implement them. For example, if the political commissar he mentioned is really popularized to the battalion level, the Forbidden Army alone has more than 1000 low-level civil servants. On the premise of not expanding the army, as for the problem of military-industrial integration, the actual operation is more difficult, and the economy cannot be reversed. Once those factories are out of work, if they cannot come up with a safe method, it will be easier to cause trouble. The burden of the imperial court is indeed too heavy for the mutiny, and the specifics have not been calculated yet, and the hidden cost is too great."

Sun Yue hurriedly said: "But master, these can all be changed. First of all, the political commissar, the political commissar does not necessarily have to be a Jinshi, Ming Jing, or even Tongju can be appointed. It is enough for a sesame official of the eighth or even the ninth rank Yes, you can also arrange for extra points for military members or exemption for the sons of martyrs. As for the economic issue, I believe that with the stability of the world and the increase of the population, the economic situation of the world will definitely be much better in the future than it is now."

Zhao Pudao: "Yes, these problems are not impossible to solve, they are just more troublesome, but this is not the point. The point is that this set of reforms involves too many things, from the Zhengshitang to the Privy Council, and even the six ministries and nine ministers. Locally, there is no escape from the transfer envoy of the Jiedu Envoy to the command envoy of the prefect below, or even the county magistrate and lieutenant below. It is necessary to set up a yamen with powers above the six ministries, and the yamen under the two governments to deal with this matter. Adding such a high-level department is tantamount to adding a prime minister, and the political structure of the entire imperial court must be adjusted. It’s too difficult to do.”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded when he heard the words, they thought much more at this level than Sun Yue, and Sun Yue also poured cold water on his head when he heard the words.

This time Sun Yue shut up. He really doesn't understand many things about the political structure. The things involved are far from being as simple as they appear on the surface.

Zhao Pu smiled and said: "However, if this can be done and established as the family law of the ancestors, the country of the Song Dynasty may really be difficult forever. With this hundred thousand forbidden troops, the world will be invincible. It is up to the officials to decide whether such a big move is worth it or not, but one thing is for sure, the world is initially settled, the political structure is not yet stable, and the prestige of the officials is unmatched. If you want to do such a big The adjustment of movements can only be done by you as an official, if you have not finished this matter, then future generations will not even have to mention it."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said, "You mean, what he said is not impossible, but difficult to do, right?"

"Yes."

"It's not easy to end the troubled times and establish a dynasty that won't last for a hundred years. What's more, it's a matter of taking into account both the current century and the future. Isn't it just a matter of adjusting the political structure? What's the big deal? I'll leave this matter to you, I think Things can be prepared in advance, and a relatively complete plan should be made first, and if this matter comes to fruition in the future, this newly added yamen will be handed over to you, and I will give you ten years, maybe it can be done?"

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly changed his name to Zhen instead of me, which naturally means that he is already extremely serious about this matter, after all, he is not that courageous emperor, this country was made by punching and kicking with his dragon stick Yes, why is he not confident?
Zhao Pu saluted and said: "I must do my best to bring peace to all generations."

"Okay, then let's first establish a Military Commission Department under the Privy Council. Sun Yue, do you have anything else to add?"

Sun Yue thought for a while, then knelt down and said: "Officials, I have the courage to ask the officials to establish the law of the ancestors."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't treat him like a child at all, and asked: "What is the ancestor's law, tell me."

"I thought that with this forbidden army, 20 people would be enough to pacify the world, and the imperial court would not be able to afford any more. In the future, the world will be peaceful and the population will be richer, and the imperial court's economy will naturally become better. Maybe it can afford 30 to 20 people, but I don't think this is meaningful, the first ancestral law I asked for was to strictly limit the number of forbidden troops in Beijing, the forbidden troops in Beijing should not exceed [-] at any time, do the officials think this number is enough?"

The military history of the Song Dynasty is interesting. The combat effectiveness of his troops has always been inversely proportional to the number of soldiers. Zhao Kuangyin had only 12 soldiers, but he was truly invincible in the world. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the number expanded to 35, and he was no longer able to beat Khitan. In the Yuanfeng period, the historical record was 61, and there was no clear record in the Huizong period, but the so-called 80 forbidden army coaches in the Water Margin are not necessarily just talking about it.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "That's enough. If the 20 forbidden troops are counted as the frontier army and the Xiang army, there are more than [-] available soldiers. The retired veterans who are working can also draw another [-] at any time, which is enough to deal with everything." There is a war, and you are afraid that the future generations will blindly expand the army, so that the court can no longer afford it, so you have to reduce the treatment of the forbidden army, reduce the logistical pressure, hurt the hearts of the soldiers, and affect the combat effectiveness. It's hard for you to see so far, I agree. "

"I would like to ask for the second ancestral law. No matter whether it is a noble general or a scholar, no one is allowed to humiliate the soldiers. Even the guards standing guard at the city gate are sacred and inviolable. If the son of the prime minister insults him, he will be executed! "

Zhao Kuangyin asked puzzled, "Why?"

"The imperial court has decided to emphasize civil service over military affairs, but I think it is enough to underestimate the generals. But the soldiers are the foundation of the Song Dynasty. I am afraid that one day in the future, the heroes who kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds will not be as good as a Donghuamen The roll call scholar, if such a day comes, the Song Dynasty will not be far away from the destruction of the country. Since the treatment of the imperial army is so good, I feel that the people of the world can be proud of fighting for the country."

"A hero who kills the enemy and makes meritorious deeds is not as good as a scholar named Donghua Gate? Are you joking with me? I know what you are worried about, but your statement is too exaggerated, it is scary. "

Sun Yue smiled wryly.

"Forget it, I'm sure, is there anything else?"

"Uh... gone."

"Well, what I said today, I will write it into a notebook when I go back, and hand in a copy."

"Yes."
