Datang: I show my cards, I am the emperor

Chapter 118 Problem?Wang Chen's Surprising Words [New Book Seeking Customization]

Wang Chen was also interested, and then raised two fingers.

"If you want to say a way, I have two ideas, but you and I can talk about it, and the military department yamen will definitely not adopt my set. "

Du Ruhui didn't care so much, and hurriedly nodded to show that he understood.

"The first point is to expand the team of recruits in addition to the standing establishment and government soldiers. "

Wang Chen just said this, and directly said Du Ruhui with a confused face.

Expand the establishment and recruit troops outside of the government soldiers?

This change is inevitably too big, the government military system is the most basic law of the Tang Dynasty's recruitment of soldiers.

Wang Chen looked at Lao Du's bewildered look, and knew that he didn't understand what he meant.

Therefore, he patiently explained: "The expansion of the standing establishment does not mean that the government military system should be changed, but only that the government soldiers and the recruitment of soldiers should be combined. "

"The current military system in my Datang is the government military system, that is, soldiers prepare their own weapons and armor, and they take turns guarding the frontier when they are not working, and they are cultivating crops when they are busy. "

"Although this greatly saves my Tang Dynasty's military expenditures, and also facilitates both wartime and farm work without delay, it has some drawbacks. "

Du Ruhui had already whetted his appetite by Wang Chen's words, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of drawbacks are there?"

Wang Chen continued to talk about this issue.

"One is that the government soldiers need to prepare their own weapons, armor and dry food, and sometimes these will become quite a heavy burden, and if the weapons or armor are damaged, it will be an expense to repair. "

"The second reason is that the government soldier system and the uniform field system are tied to each other and depend on each other to survive, but once there is a change in the fields that these government soldiers are evenly distributed, it will lead to uneven personnel. "

"The third is that although the soldiers are rotated when they are busy with farm work and leisure, they adjust between guarding the frontier and cultivating crops. "

"However, sometimes the time is not adjusted well, and it is very easy to stay on the frontier for a long time, unable to return to the Central Plains, or delay the execution of the order to the frontier. "

"Over time, the people will be resistant to the government military system, and on the same side of the imperial court, there will be difficulties in mobilizing government soldiers. "

"The two ends are not pleasing at the same time, and this is where the disadvantages of the government military system lie. "

Du Ruhui was already in extreme shock at this time.

He just wanted to ask how to reduce the waste of weapons and armor, but he didn't expect to ask such a big question.

It actually involved the recruitment system of the entire Tang Dynasty, and the government military system is now the military foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

I didn't expect to be dug up by Xiao Wang's shopkeeper like this, and he actually dug it out.

Du Ruhui felt that he seemed to have made a name for himself.

He thought about it a little sluggishly for a while, and then asked with some hesitation: "Shopkeeper Wang, according to what you mean, the government military system may need to be changed?"

Wang Chen shook his head.

"I don't mean to completely repudiate the government military system, but to say that in addition to the regular government military system, it is possible to implement a conscription system and recruit a reserve establishment team. "

"According to my estimates, within two years at most, my Datang will have a world-class war with the Turks in the north. "

"At that time, this establishment through the conscription system will be able to come in handy, and the surplus weapons and armor in the treasury every year are just for them to use for training, won't this solve the problem of waste you just mentioned?"

When Du Ruhui heard this, he could barely put his mind at ease.

He was afraid that Wang Chen would completely deny the entire military system, which would be a shake for the military foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

However, now the king only said that there were drawbacks, but it did not seriously affect the point that it needed to be abolished, and only needed to be changed, and the two systems could coexist in parallel.

Then this problem is easier to deal with, and you can discuss it with Your Majesty and others after you go back, and then come up with an idea.

Thinking of this, Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some curiosity: "Brother Wang, you just said that there are two methods, what is the other one?"

Wang Chen spread his hands this time, and said a little casually: "Directly package and sell to some small surrounding countries, and they pay for population or money, or precious items to buy." "

Du Ruhan suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and he was shocked again.

How from the mouth of the king's shopkeeper, amazing quotations popped up again and again, first to change the military system of the government, and now to trade weapons with neighboring countries.

He couldn't help but say with a little horror in his tone: "Shopkeeper, this is an arms trade, selling weapons with neighboring countries, isn't this a strengthening of the enemy's power, this is an act of the enemy, it is absolutely undesirable!"

Wang Chen immediately looked at Du Ruhui a little speechlessly.

"I said Lao Du, the so-called behavior of the enemy, the object of arms trade is the enemy country. "

"I just made a point of emphasizing that weapons should be sold to those weak neighboring countries, such as Zhenla, Ryukyu, Linyi and even the six departments of Nanzhao in the south. "

"You tell me, sell the weapons to them, what waves can they make, my Datang dispatched a state's troops, it is enough to suppress them all!"

Du Ruhui stopped talking now, which does make some sense.

If you sell weapons to an enemy country like the Turks, it is naturally an act of having a bag in your head.

But the problem is sold to a small country like Ryukyu that is so big that it can't make waves at all, so it has no impact at all.

While Du Ruhui was still thinking, Wang Chen continued to speak.

"And by selling weapons to these small nations, and after exchanging them for people, money, or precious things, they can be brought back and used to make newer and better weapons. "

"In this way, it didn't cost anything at all, but the equipment that needed to be eliminated was updated to new equipment, isn't it a good thing?"

Du Ruhui's whole person suddenly became serious, this is a very worthy proposal.

Let those small countries pay for the replacement of new equipment for Datang, and it will not pose any threat to Datang's security.

When you think about it this way, it seems that there are many benefits, but not many disadvantages.

Wang Chen looked at Du Ruhui's appearance that was still in deep thought, and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip.

"Lao Du, if you don't understand it again, I'll tell you a little more, so that this technique can have an unexpected effect. "
