After staying in the mountains for more than ten days, seeing that the six teams of county soldiers had settled down, Luo Chengcai rode back to the county town. It was almost the Chinese New Year, and the county soldiers should have gone home on holiday.

But Luo Cheng discussed with the team leaders for a long time and felt that he had just moved over and disbanded and returned home in a blink of an eye. The six stops in the mountains might be ruined.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, it is even more unrealistic to temporarily recruit a group of county soldiers to rotate.

On the way back to the city, Luo Cheng was thinking about a question.

That is, although he now commands 500 county soldiers and 1,000 township soldiers, there is always a problem that stuck him, that is, the system of county soldiers and township soldiers taking turns to recruit on duty.

The county soldiers and the towns are not as good as the government soldiers.

The government soldiers are selected for one-year or so. As long as they are selected as the government soldiers, they will be the government soldiers for life. They will only be considered as withdrawing from the government soldiers when they are 60 years old. They will become government soldiers and will be granted land to the government. The government soldiers will farm in their daily lives and receive training in their spare time. Every year, they will go to Beijing to serve on duty. When encountering wars, they will order troops to fight.

Although the soldiers of the palace are also under the jurisdiction of the civilian government, they live near the military palace and are called the Earth Group.

Whether it is going to the military office to train or going to the Beijing Guards, they are all taken turns, divided into several times according to the distance from Beijing, and they are one or two months a year.

Usually, they don’t have to pay rent and pay taxes when they collect grain in their fields. The income is relatively stable and the conditions are better.

However, the county and military bravery are different. The county and military bravery are not considered regular soldiers at all, and can only be regarded as a kind of militia.

As for militia, it is a kind of service to serve as a village chariot. It is a kind of service. It is recruited according to the size of county soldiers and township chariots, and then according to the number of men in the county, it may be rotated every few years, or once a year. If there are many, then every few years, it may be a month or two.

This kind of rotation of work is of course a good thing for the people. It will not have much impact on the monthly difference in a few years or a year. But for Luo Cheng, if the team takes turns every other month, how can his county barracks talk about combat effectiveness?

When he arrived at the county town, Luo Cheng went directly to Zhang Yichen and Du Ruhui to discuss the matter.

Along the way, I could already feel the atmosphere at the end of the year, and many people were preparing New Year's goods.

It’s a hard year, and whether life is good or bad, I always have to live this year.

"Do you want to extend the duty time of the county and village warriors?"

After hearing Luo Cheng's thoughts, Du Ruhui frowned.

"But how could the people be willing?" Du Ruhui asked back.

Originally, the number of times in the years was different, and it had already affected some life in just a few months. After all, the county soldiers and townships had no money and food to get. If they were to win and make contributions, they could still get some rewards. If it was normal, it would be a month or two to wait.

"I think we can change the rules of succession. If we say that we are six times a year in Zhangqiu, that is, if the county's strong men are in the turn to serve, they will be two months a year. We can change it and change it to six years. That is, we originally had to be one year a year, two months a year, but now we will change it to six years a year a year."

It sounds like the same as the six-year rings, one year, one year, one year, one year, one year. In general, it has to be a twelve-month difference in six years. However, the former is to be a separate person for six years, and only two months each time, while the latter is to be a errand for six years and serve for one year at a time.

"There is no such precedent."

Du Ruhui said.

He suddenly heard the meaning of Luo Cheng's words. Two months at a time and one year at a time were of great importance to Luo Cheng's county barracks.

“I think it’s just a workaround.”

Du Ruhui also settled the accounts with Luo Cheng, "Based on the household registration list of our county, we counted the number of all males. For example, there are about 11,000 households in Zhangqiu County, and there are more than 24,000 males. Then there are 500 military camps in our county. If the turn is done in a month, then 6,000 people will be completed in a year. It will take four years for the whole county male males to complete the turn."

The 24,000 male officers in the county, Lailun County barracks, have to be rotated every four years every four years. In four years, it only takes one month.

If Luo Cheng said, it would take one year at a time, then it would take forty-eight years for the whole county to finish the cycle.

This is obviously unrealistic, forty-eight years, it has been too long.

Luo Cheng really never calculated this way.

"So is this possible? The county barracks hire people to serve, and then it is the people who are on duty to spend money on their behalf. Do you think it's okay?"

Luo Cheng quickly thought of a solution. Even if the people turn every four years and only act for one month at a time, being a job will still affect their lives.

If the people are allowed to pay money, then for example, if you are not on duty, you will naturally not pay money. If it is your turn to be the month, you will pay the money for this month. Then the county will use the money for the service and hire a group of people to serve for a long time. Wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?

The imperial court did not have such a precedent for receiving capital and serving on behalf of others, but there were regulations on receiving silk and mortality. The Great Sui Dynasty implemented the equal-field system and implemented the tax law of renting and mortality. If there is land, there is rent, there is a house, there is a regulation, and if there is a body, there is a mediocre.

Yong is a kind of official servant. Ding Nan needs to serve 20 days of labor for the court every year, which is the official servant. However, if the court does not need the people to serve and does not serve 20 days of official servant this year, he will need to pay silk for the Yong. The rule is that each child will pay according to the standard of 3 feet of silk and 3 feet, 7 inches and 5 minutes per day.

Anyway, you don’t want to take advantage of the imperial court.

However, only mediocre people can use silk cloth to replace them, and there is no such precedent for other mail-offs and other servants.

"How to receive the capital and serve on behalf of others?"

"Can you follow the Zheyong method?" Du Ruhui asked. Zheyong took three feet of silk a day. In this way, he had to take ninety feet of silk, and one piece of silk was forty feet, which was equivalent to more than two pieces.

If you pay money once, you don’t have to take the job again for four years. It sounds pretty good, but in the final analysis, you have to see how much it costs.

How much is two pieces of silk worth?

Silk was the first currency in the Sui Dynasty, but silk was generally not directly linked to money, but grain was linked to food. There were bumper years and apologies, so the price of grain fluctuated and the price of silk fluctuated.

In the years when silk is good, it can be exchanged for about ten stones of corn, but in the years of famine, a piece of silk can be exchanged for a bucket of rice.

When the rice is cheap, it costs only a few cents a bull, but when it is expensive, it costs dozens of cents a bull.

Therefore, it can be said that when the price of silk is good, it is about three to four hundred yuan per piece, but when the price is low, it is worth about one hundred yuan.

It is the end of the year, and the autumn harvest has not been long, and it is not yet time for the green and yellow. Zhangqiu’s grain this year is still quite good, so the price of grain is not high, which leads to the price of silk. It used to be about 100 min. But now it is the end of the year, and it can almost reach 150.

One foot of silk is about three cents and less than four cents, and ninety-foot silk is discounted at the current price of ninety-foot silk.

Pay 338 cents and ensure that you don’t have to take the position of being a county barracks for four years. It sounds good.
