Chapter 470: The First Step of Reform

Before dawn, Fanning got up, and Zhu Pei, who was sleeping beside him, whispered: "It's not dawn outside, so don't rush to go to court, sleep for a while.m.x."

"Today we will start to implement the first step of reform. I want to go to the military camp as soon as possible!"

Zhu Pei reached out and gently stroked her husband's face, "Are you a little nervous?"

Fanning nodded, gently rubbed her hands with her face, feeling the warmth in her hands.

"You keep sleeping! A Qian should have gotten up."

"I can't sleep anymore, please help me."

Fan Ning sat up with his wife's waist down, Aya came in and put on her coat, Zhu Pei supported her waist down and said, "You go and wash the official first. Today, the official must go out early."

Aya agreed and went out first. Fanning wanted to support his wife. Zhu Pei pushed him out and said with a smile: "Go quickly! I'll take a walk in the backyard and move around."

After Fanning finished washing, he came to Fanning for breakfast. Ouyang Qian had already served him with porridge and took two meat buns and a few plates of dishes to serve.

Seeing that Ouyang Qian was a little unhappy, Fan Ning asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Who makes you angry?"

"It's not your baby girl yet. I cried all night last night and it made me so angry."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She is no longer satisfied with the two little deer and insists on raising a little monkey. I scolded her. How dangerous the monkey is, can she raise it for her?"

Fanning thought for a while and said, "You can't raise monkeys, but you can raise a few hares. I heard that there are those sold on the street, so I just want the butler to buy two of them back."

"I heard that hares can bite people too!"

Fanning smiled slightly, "You don't have a chance to bite it, you can't catch it at all. Anyway, just show it to her and put it on the mountain."

"You just spoil her like this! She wants the moon tomorrow, what should you do?"

"Maybe I'm going to go out in a few days, so you tell her that my dad will pick the moon for her. When I look back, I will use silver to hit a little moon for her."

Ouyang Qian was completely speechless

Carrying out military reform is a very troublesome and trivial matter. First of all, the 30,000-flat army on Jingdong Road is deployed in nine prefectures. Just confirming the counting number of people, you have to go around. Therefore, the Jingdong Road Military Management Office has been preparing for details a few days ago.

First, relevant institutions were established. The Military Governance Office successively established the Decision-making Department, the Military Engagement Department, the Executive Department, the Supervision Department, the Warehouse Battalion, and the Military Police Battalion. There are a total of four departments and two battalions, among which the Decision-making Department is the highest authority.

In addition to seven officials, the military governing office transferred fifty civil servants to the military, and selected a thousand elite soldiers from the Yingtian Prefecture Army as military police.

The order to inspect soldiers over 40 years old in various military camps has been issued. The order to clean up over-age soldiers is carried out in three steps. First, the military camps in various places are self-inspected and the inventory is fabricated. Then the Execution Department, Supervision Department and the Military Police Battalion are divided into nine groups, and they enter nine military camps respectively to verify the age of the soldiers left behind. After the verification is completed, the laid-off soldiers come to Yingtianfu to gather, and then return to their hometowns to clear them.

The cleaning of over-age soldiers in Yingtian Mansion was the first to take place. In the five large tents next to the Central Army’s large tent, six civil servants were divided into three groups, checking the soldiers’ information one by one. Each soldier’s information was relatively sound, including age, household registration, family, etc., so it was easier to check.

The three groups of civil servants have thick rosters in their hands. One civil servant chants his name and one civil servant registers. After all the registrations are completed, exchange the rosters and check them again. This work is relatively easy and can be completed in two days.

"Huang Wenrong, forty-four years old, Huochang, from Taomu Township, Fengxian County, Shanzhou, served in the army for ten years."

In addition to compensating each soldier over forty years old fortieth, two stones of rice, there is also a military service subsidy, which is basically a one-year total of money.

If it is fire-horse, he will compensate 30 acres of land. For example, Huang Wenrong, who has been in the army for ten years, would compensate 10 guan. Because he is fire-horse, he can finally get 30 acres of land, two stones of rice and ten guan.

In addition, Wang Anshi proposed the removal standards for low-level generals. Everyone discussed that low-level generals could be relaxed until they were forty-five years old, including three military positions: guards, team chiefs and team deputys, and the compensation was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

"Wang Ping, forty-seven years old, an ordinary soldier, from Shu County, Yingtianfugu, joined the army for 25 years."

Fan Ning, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said to the civil servant: "Show me the information about Wang Ping."

The civil servant quickly took out the military card and handed it to Fanning. Fanning looked at it and found that the military card had turned yellow, and it had been at least ten years.

He then compared the chronology next to him. Wang Ping was born in the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu and joined the army in the third year of Jingyou. After all, it was not exactly the twenty-five years of joining the army.

After being a soldier for twenty-five years, he was still an ordinary soldier and a typical old military oil student. At this time, Lu Chunqiu next to him whispered: "I know this soldier, he died five years ago."

Fanning immediately understood that the man had disappeared five years ago, but the military salary was paid, and this was an empty salary soldier.

"Do you have any number of empty-salary soldiers in the Yingtian Mansion army?"

Lu Chunqiu said lightly: "There are two types of people in the army that know the best. One is the commander and the other is the official. For example, Li Han is the commander who just took over. Maybe he may not know it, but the six commanders under him all have their own account.

There is also the household servant, who is responsible for paying salary. According to regulations, he has to check the specific person, so he is also very clear."

Although Fanning does not intend to pursue the empty salary now, it does not mean that he will not be investigated in the future. If the amount is small, he will be exempted from liability. If the amount is large, he will return most of the money, and he can also be punished lightly or exempted from liability.

But the amount involved is large and he is unwilling to return it, so the accounts must be settled later. Sooner or later, such borer generals will become corrupt points when they remain in the army.

Fan Ning thought about it and said, "Take me to the tent of the servants!"

Each military camp also has corresponding six officials and a chief officer of the army, soldiers, households, merits, laws, warehouses, and labours. The six officials of the military camp and the six officials of the military camp are relatively low in level, even nine-rank officials, and they are civil servants, so they are called the six officials.

Among the six chiefs, the most important are the household officials and the warehouse officials. One is in charge of the enlistment and retirement of specific soldiers and monthly salary, etc., and the other is in charge of granary materials. Since the household officials have to deal with specific soldiers, he has the deepest grasp of the situation of each soldier, and often has the confidant of the commander-in-chief.

The official of the Yingtian Prefecture military camp was named Lin Kuang. He was from Shu County, Yingtian Prefecture, and was a fellow townsman of Jiang Chenghua, the commander of the former capital. Jiang Chenghua was dismissed from his post and exiled. The two commanders he promoted were also dismissed. Because Lin Kuang's position was too humble, he escaped by chance.

At this time, he was assisting in counting over-age soldiers. At this time, a soldier stepped forward and said a few words to him. Then he put down what he had and followed the soldiers to the central army tent.

"Report to the appeaser, Lin Kuang is here!"

Lin Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Fan Ning, "I will meet the comforting envoy for the humble position!"

Fan Ning looked at him and saw that he was about thirty years old and had a poor appearance. He asked, "Are you a servant from the Yingtian Prefecture camp?"

"The villain is exactly!"

Fan Ning said coldly: "You all commanders told me that there are about 200 soldiers with empty salary in Yingtian Prefecture camp. You should have a list of them!"

Lin Kuang was extremely nervous about this matter. Fan Ning took the matter out with one sentence, which scared him to kneel down and kowtowed repeatedly: "I am willing to withdraw my greedy empty salary, and beg the comforter to spare my life!"

This was a bit beyond Fan Ning's expectations. He didn't want to check the specific generals who had a vacant salary, but just wanted to get a list. Unexpectedly, Lin Kuang took the initiative to apologize, so he didn't need to threaten it.

Fanning nodded, "If you want to get rid of your sins, you must make meritorious service, give up everything you know, spit out the money you greedy, and I will allow you to resign and go home."

Seeing hope, Lin Kuang hurriedly said, "I am willing to give in to everything and withdraw all the greedy money."

"Let me talk about the empty salary first, how do you greedy for bribes?"

Lin Kuang said in the bottom: "I will count the increase or decrease of soldiers every month and report it to the Comfort Office. There has been no reduction in staff in recent years. In fact, everyone is reducing staff, such as being sick, asking for retirement when they are too old, being injured in accidents, becoming a deserter, etc., I have not reported it.

The salary of the military is normally released at the beginning of each month. Generally, the commander of Jiaozi is about 10th. The commander of the commander approved the salary. I deducted the military salary of the vacant soldiers. The other military salary will be normally taken away by the commander of each battalion. I don’t care how to pay it. Whether the military salary is deducted from it or not has nothing to do with me. However, the monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan is in my hands. I draw 10% of the remaining ones, and I handed over the remaining ones to the commander of each battalion, and they will distribute them themselves.

As far as I know, from the commander to the team leader below, the guards have all their positions, and then they have to supply the commander, the commander takes the biggest head, and the commander, and the commander, and the guards can also get a few to dozens of coins every month, depending on whether there are many empty-salary soldiers under their command."

Fan Ning took a few steps behind his hands, and the situation was even worse than he thought. Almost all the generals were involved. Generals like Li Han who did not greed for empty salary were simply rare.

"In this way, you're going to draw at least one hundred stale money every month?"

"Yes! I have been in office for two years and have received 2,500 stagnants of money. I dare not use it, so I have saved it all."

"You go down first, give me the list of empty-salary soldiers. Then after the over-age soldiers are checked, you hand over the money you greedy to the Supervision Department, and then write a resignation application. I will allow you to go home according to the compensation from the over-age team."
