Chapter 404: The Prescription for Governing the Place

"But Feitian wine?" Lin Zhaoqing heard it was wine. The Feitian wine that was full of all over the world came from the prince in front of him. I guess the one in this car was undoubtedly Feitian wine.

"That's right, General, is this?" Sun Yu nodded slightly, looking at him, he had chosen the right thing.

"Of course, especially in winter, the wind here is cold and the whole body is always unhappy. After drinking this Feitian wine, I punched another set of fists, sweated and took a bath, and I felt nothing." Lin Zhaoqing said about Feitian wine, and then I became energetic.

"Then let's have two drinks today." Sun Yu nodded. The benefits of the spirits lie here.

"On weekdays, Lin is reluctant to drink too much. Today, we will be extravagant with the light of the Duke. This is not a place to speak, so the Duke follows me." Lin Zhaoqing led the way, and Sun Yu followed with the evil dog. As for other guards, Lin Zhaoqing's own arrangements were made under Lin Zhaoqing.

The arrangement of the imperial guard camp is extremely particular, not horizontal and vertical, or orderly, but rather a formation. Sun Yu followed Lin Zhaoqing and shuttled through it.

The imperial guards were stationed here, and ordinary soldiers still lived in tents, but as a general, Lin Zhaoqing built a wooden tent here, and today Lin Zhaoqing was here to entertain Sun Yu.

"Dude, how about the soldiers under Lin's command along the way?" Lin Zhaoqing asked himself, the soldiers under his command were extremely strict in their military management, and the soldiers under his command could afford the word "elite". Faced with the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, he naturally wanted to comment one or two.

Sun Yu looked embarrassed. He disdained to lie, but he was worried that he would offend Lin Zhaoqing if he said frankly.

"It's okay to say it!" Lin Zhaoqing knew what he meant when he saw Sun Yu's expression. If someone else was picking on it, Lin Zhaoqing would definitely not accept it, but Sun Yu was different. If he was, Lin Zhaoqing would definitely consider it seriously.

"The military appearance is still considered to be prepared, but there are three things: First, the equipment is insufficient. Sun has all kinds of weapons along the way, and even the spear has three specifications. Only standardization can reduce logistical pressure and improve the adaptability of the soldiers. Second, most soldiers are thin and have poor physical strength, and long-distance attacks are worrying. Third, the armor rate is too low, and the armor is the backbone of the army." Sun Yu was quite disappointed with the Tang Dynasty imperial guards, and there was not much difference from the Zhangwu army in Fuzhou.

You should know that the Zhangwu Army in Fuzhou was just a local army, and the imperial guards of the South Vietnamese Kingdom must be stronger than the Zhangwu Army, which was also the reason why he later trapped in Fuzhou.

If the imperial guards in front of him were to fight against the same number of imperial guards in South Vietnam, Sun Yu would not be optimistic.

"Some things are difficult to return, and Lin is helpless." Lin Zhaoqing certainly knew that military pay was severely deducted, and logistics supplies were often defective, so it was common for inferior products to be used as good products.

He can only maintain it as much as possible to make the degree of corruption lighter. If it is really too strict, mutiny will become inevitable.

"Is it so difficult?" Sun Yu frowned. Lin Zhaoqing looked like he was not a greedy person, and he was deeply trusted by the king of the country, so he could not even helpless.

"The salary of ten thousand taels is left, and it is only eight thousand taels left in the military camp. This is the imperial guards, and other places are even more serious. If the generals in the army want to fight, they naturally have to support their relatives. The equipment costs money, and the military salary has to be increased, resulting in even less money for ordinary soldiers." Lin Zhaoqing was also a clever wife who cooked without rice. As for 10,000 taels to become eight thousand, if they want to make a decision, they have to go against the entire civil servant group.

Even the king knew this well, and as long as he was not angry, he would turn a blind eye.

Sun Yu remembered that when he first formed an army, King Han came forward in person, and made another one-time deal, and finally accepted the unspoken rules.

No wonder Lao Cheng was in trouble and was finally sold out. From top to bottom, everyone accepted this rule, and no one could do anything about it.

"At least, you have to eat enough." Sun Yu sighed. He also knew the difficulties, but the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers. As long as he had a full meal, at least his physique would generally be stronger.

"Eat full? All these 120,000 people are full of food. How much food does it take for a day? Duke, after hearing what you said, are all under your command full food?" Lin Zhaoqing said halfway and suddenly realized.

Among the imperial guards, there is usually a meal of porridge in the morning and a meal of dry at night, and there is one meal at noon during practice. The local Hunan Army usually practices every ten days, and among the imperial guards, there is a meal of every three days.

"Relying on the business to earn money and support, I will not be hungry at all." Sun Yu nodded, no wonder Cheng Zhenbei didn't even care about the position of the imperial guard.

Just like this, the elite imperial guards were still guarding Jiangning, and how should the rest of the army be together?

"Mr. Lin is incompetent!" Lin Zhaoqing was very envious. Being a general like Sun Yu, who brings his subordinates to his full meals and receives enough salary is his lifelong wish.

When he was in the Fujian Kingdom, soldiers were treated much worse than this. He had long been dissatisfied. This is why Lin Zhaoqing became a surrendered general and was loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Why do you have to blame yourself? There are too many unfair things in this world, just do your best." Sun Yu was also very melancholy. He was not sad about autumn and spring, but worried about how much he could do in the battle to destroy Nanyue.

"The Duke of the State, please sit down. Lin wants to ask for advice, and he can also tell him honestly." The reason why Lin Zhaoqing has a good impression of Sun Yu is not only because he can fight, but also because Jianzhou is his hometown.

Sun Yu set off Jianzhou in March, and later conquered Zhangquan, allowing the people of Jianzhou to live a peaceful life from then on. Lin Zhaoqing admired it very much. Everyone hoped that their hometown would be good.

"General, it's okay!" Sun Yu nodded and sat down opposite Lin Zhaoqing.

The personal soldiers brought two plates of mutton and placed one plate in front of Sun Yu and Lin Zhaoqing. Then they brought a jar of Feitian wine and two bowls, one of which had a gap.

Lin Zhaoqing put the one with a gap in front of him, unsealed the wine jar, and filled it with Sun Yu. The unique fragrance of Feitian filled the entire Central Army tent.

Lin Zhaoqing sniffed hard and said that it was this smell. The last time I drank it was a month ago.

"Come on, Duke, please touch one first!" Lin Zhaoqing held the bowl and carefully touched Sun Yu's wine bowl. Then he held the bowl with both hands and poured it into his mouth, for fear of spilling it outside.

Sun Yu was so angry that he was afraid of such a rude man when he drank. He didn't even say that he could drink wine, so he poured it into death. He had no choice but to pick up the wine bowl and drink it all.

"Good wine, really good wine, burp!" Lin Zhaoqing burped and continued to fill the two wine bowls.

"General, drink more. Sun will ride a horse back home in the evening. He will be separated from my son for a long time. He will be rare to come back. He always needs to be more company." Sun Yu's mind was circling around and finally found a pretty decent excuse.

"Okay, Lin has never been fun to drink people, so the prince will do it." To Sun Yu's surprise, Lin Zhaoqing was very casual and had no intention of persuading him to drink.

Lin Zhaoqing likes to drink two glasses, but he also knows that greed is a mistake. He never persuades him to drink. He orders the wine until he orders the wine is excellent.

"Dude, I don't understand. In the past, when the State of Min, Lin was a general in Fujian. This soldier could only eat for three or five days, and the salary would be delayed for three or five months at all. The land was still the same piece of land, and the people were still those people. How could the Duke go to have the current scene?" Lin Zhaoqing kept thinking about this question. Why? Fujian is full of mountains and grain output is small, and there was not enough food in the past. Could it be that Sun Yu really had the ability to turn stones into gold?

"I'm afraid this matter can't be explained clearly for three days and three nights." The things involved are too complicated. From finance, to people's hearts, to administration, to taxation, commerce, etc., Sun Yu made complete changes.

Not only did it increase agricultural output, but it also reduced the investment in agriculture through the transformation of agricultural tools, and invested the liberated manpower into handicrafts. Then, it used the output of handicrafts to enrich the people's material life. Through trade, these materials were sold to various places, and money naturally rolled in.

"Then let's talk about it the most important thing. Lin is really curious about it." Lin Zhaoqing's eyes were full of sincerity. He wanted to figure out why.

"The most important thing is to reform the distribution mechanism and increase the enthusiasm of the people..." Sun Yu thought about it for a while, and then he described the implementation of step-by-step tax prices on the territory of the Loyal and Brave Army.

"Can you achieve this just reform?" Lin Zhaoqing was a little confused. It sounded very simple.

"No, but this is the premise, and it must be supplemented by water conservancy investment and excellent supply of agricultural tools." These methods all add up, with only one purpose, which is to increase agricultural output and let the people fill their stomachs.

"In other words, we must reclaim more fertile land so that everyone can cultivate more fields, and at the same time, we cannot let those powerful people hoard land?" Lin Zhaoqing thought for a long time and finally straightened out.

"Of course, the first thing is that the people are willing to cultivate and cultivate. If the land is all powerful and tiring, they are just drinking some porridge and soup. It is better to take a break, at least get hungry, not that bad." Without a suitable distribution mechanism, society will stagnate, which is an eternal truth.

This is the rise and fall of dynasties, because of unfair distribution, society stagnates and develops, and then the population increases, but there is only a little food. Once some sparks occur, war breaks out.

War will zero most people in this society, and redistribute them when the order is established. Until several generations later, the descendants of the dragon slaying masters become giant dragons and greedily plunder all resources in the world. This cycle repeats itself and cycles.

"Then, since it's so simple, why don't others want to do this?" Lin Zhaoqing is not a civil servant and doesn't understand these things very well, but it doesn't sound difficult.

"What is difficult is the hearts of people. In the imperial guards, or in the officialdom, everyone's selfish desires cannot be stopped. Why do people follow you and do their best? After all, it is for profit." Sun Yu drank all the wine in the glass. There were not many people who were really willing to make selfless contributions. More of it was just a binding of interests, and the best choice was given through comprehensive consideration.
