2. The archers are more guarded

In the scorching sun, Gao Yue explained the new battalion to the army clearly, and mentioned the treatment of generals and shooters.

The so-called generals and soldiers are still paid by military pay, but they do not need to farm and focus on full-time training.

The change of the Sheshishi was relatively large. Gao Yue's arrangement was that the Sheshishishishishi had to give the fields. The Duzhishi and the military government provided the help of seeds, oxen and farm tools. They were farming on weekdays, and they were familiar with long-term slaughter, bows and crossbows, and harvests from the fields during the slack farming period. Only 10% of the harvest was used as hububu rice for the capital (the rest of the Hubu rice is now enough for ordinary farmers in Xingyuan to hand over), and the remaining 90% were all owned. That's right - Gao Yue's share system in Bailicheng in the past has been innovated.

If 90% of the harvest of the Sherlock family cannot consume it, Gao Yue also stipulated that according to the trash law regulated by Lu Zhi, the military government will purchase trash and store it in the military warehouse at a price of one-5 cent higher than the local market price.

However, since Sheshi only requires "ten taxes and one" to farm, what is the corresponding cost?

That was Gao Yue withdrew the food, clothes, medicinal vegetables, pickles and pickles that he gave them. Yes, all of this was gone.

In other words, the "military capital" part of the annual finance of Xingyuan Prefecture is reported to the court. It is still the case that Xingyuan is responsible for the food, drinking, defecation and urination of 20,000 soldiers, but in fact, it is enough to be directly responsible for the seven thousand generals and soldiers.

The 11,000 slashers who were spared, what they had eaten, what they wore, etc. Gao Yue said that I would lend you the fields, farm tools, and oxen to you, and you can solve the problem by yourself.

When the Xingyuan Baicao Army announced that the number of troops was expanded to 20,000, Gao Yue cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty Xingyuan Mansion originally had a soldier of only 15,000 yuan. The annual salary, rations, clothes, pickles, and military weapons were needed to buy war horses. Now it has expanded to 20,000 yuan, and the military capital has instantly expanded to 400,000 yuan."

The emperor said, "In the third year of high school, this year, the reduction and exemption of the autumn troops will allow the Duzhi Department to leave 600,000 guan. I will allocate 100,000 guan to Xingyuan Mansion."

"I am afraid and grateful!"

"Okay, okay, let me know if you have an empty book and you will be punished strictly." The emperor said that the court's financial transfer payments must also be dignified and principled.

Now more than 10,000 shooting soldiers do not have to bear military funds, which means that Gao Yue has 420,000 guan of military funds in Xingyuan every year, and immediately saves 200,000 guan.

Of course, Gao Yue would not be corrupt in these 200,000 trump cards.

He and Wei Ping and Liu Deshi made a financial plan. The military capital of 420,000 guan remained unchanged, and the pool was still so large, but 300,000 guan was classified as "soldier expenses" and 120,000 guan was classified as "shocking soldiers expenses".

The cost of 300,000 soldiers and 7,000 soldiers with real quotas is to say that each soldier has more than 40 soldiers.

What is this concept?

When Gao Yue was in Jingyuan camp in front of a small cave, he made a calculation that the border troops in the northwest consumed twelve stones of corn, seven pieces of silk cloth a year, plus the needs of military horses and forage, a total of 6 million guan a year, and the border soldiers had 140,000, so each soldier had to be distributed to more than 40 guan a year.

At first glance, isn’t the treatment of generals and soldiers after the reform similar to those of the border soldiers during the reign of Emperor Daizong?

In fact, it was not the case. At the end of the Dali period of Emperor Daizong, why did he invest 6 million guan in the northwest every year? First, the northwest border was deserted, and grain was transported from Guandong. A stone of corn was transported. The rice price and foot strength money were combined to be as much as 500 guan; second, during the Emperor Daizong period, the price of silk cloth was also very high, and an average of three or four guan per piece was as much as 3 or 4 guan.

But during this period of Li Shi's reign, the situation changed a lot.

First of all, the Yingtian in the northwest and Yingtian in the south of the mountain have begun to show results, and Gao Yue’s Xingyuan Prefecture is particularly outstanding.

The rice production in the southeast of the Jianghuai River is also stable and is constantly being delivered. Now, in the northwest border military garrison, the total cost of corn per stone is always up and down (100 ci per dot), saving 500 ci per dot compared to the Dali period. Gao Yue's Xingyuan Prefecture only has 70 ci per dot, which means 700 ci per stone, which is almost half of the previous one.

The price of cloth has dropped significantly. During the Dali period, a piece of silk cloth costs four stakes, but now a piece of silk only costs five hundred stakes.

Once the price of grain and cloth dropped, the forty stagnant spent on soldiers was "much more valuable" than during the Dali period.

In other words, the 42 stakes of soldiers can be exchanged for 60 stones of rice or twenty-eight pieces of cloth, so that the family can eat and wear food and clothing. The emperor only has more than 30 stakes per year in Shence Army and Shenwei Army, and he claims to be treated two or three times that of the border army. At this moment, the generals and soldiers are more than Shence, and Shenwei is still better.

The 120,000 jin spent on the Shooters was not simply used for military pay, because the Shooters did not have to bear military pay. Gao Yue divided it into three parts:

A piece of reward money for shooting men;

A piece of armor, large and large flags, swords, bows and arrows used to forge and repair Xingyuan Baicao Army;

Another one is used to manufacture large and small siege guns and other defense equipment for the Fifth Battalion of Feishan (the small navy in Xingyuan Mansion was supported by Huishang and Huiyiqian).

Gao Yue also made a clear distinction between the responsibilities of generals and shooters:

General soldiers are permanent military forces. "The enemy invaded our prefectures and counties and had to fight with all their strength", "The court should go out to fight with all their strength to prevent autumn", and "The court should take over Helong and obey the orders." This is undoubtedly.

The shooters are not out of production, and the rice, wheat or cotton they cultivate will be extremely important materials in Xingyuan Prefecture in the future. Therefore, under the auspices of Liu De's Office, the "Second and Governance Method" of the shooters was formulated, and 11,000 (the inflated amount was 12,000) shooters were divided into three groups, such as leaving boundaries or preventing autumn, and drawing a series of soldiers to jointly dispatch the generals and soldiers. The fields of this series were cultivated by the remaining two groups, so as to not delay the farming time; but if an enemy invades our prefecture and county, "all shooters, regardless of your hometown and town, will be released, and they will be blocked from the enemy's return to the road, occupy the dangers, and help the generals and soldiers to annihilate them together!"

Since the Shooters and generals were "jointly camped" when they went to fight, in fact, although the two were garrisoned differently, they were registered with the military ranks. For example, Generals and Swords and Swords and B were both part of the "Left Division of the Guns and Swords and Horses (the left and right divisions) of the White Grass Army. This time it was his turn to be his "collision" with his location, and when he went to the prescribed location to gather "point divisions" and form a formation to fight with the generals and soldiers and soldiers of the same 3rd battalion.

Therefore, every time the Baicao Army went on a war, it actually had 7,000 soldiers, plus about 4,000 shooting soldiers who took turns to arrive, totaling 11,000. The remaining 7,000 shooting soldiers were responsible for Xingyuan's remaining guards - the proportion of soldiers in each battalion of soldiers going out, the number of soldiers who were about to hit the war, and the number of soldiers who were about to hit the war, were exactly two to one.

Moreover, in terms of the equipment of Xingyuan Generals and the Shooter Team, Gao Yue carefully considered and adopted the "big flower and small pure system".
