Chapter 177 Post-war discussion

"King Jing Qiansheng!"

"King Jing Qiansheng!"

“…”

High calls rang out in the military camp.

The slightly drunk soldiers' faces turned even more rosy.

They shouted with all their might.

For them, the celebration banquet doesn’t matter, and praise doesn’t matter.

These real care for oneself is what really concerns oneself.

The victory carnival lasted for several days and gradually subsided.

On the sixth day, Liu Jun summoned the government officials and generals of the army.

The recapture of the four foreign governments was successful, but this was just the first step to make a comeback in Jingzhou.

Besides, for Liu Jun, this victory is nothing.

His ultimate goal is not to ramp up the East continent, but to prevent the establishment of global hegemony in the West continent.

No longer let the contemporary tragedy happen again in his country.

"I have drunk wine and rewarded my achievements. Now I should calm down." Sitting in the center of Qinzheng Hall.

Liu Jun looked down at the civil and military officials standing in a row on both sides.

Because the fact that the four foreign governments are taking back is too important.

In recent days, both officials and generals have been immersed in carnival, and government affairs and military affairs have been a little slackened.

It is precisely because of this that we need to establish a strategy for the next stage.

So he summoned everyone.

Liu Jun's first words were to beat him. Officials and generals who were originally like the New Year closed their smiles one after another.

"Is it time for real victory? Fuyu Kingdom is still licking the wound in the north and staring at you." Liu Jun raised his voice.

When everyone heard this, they all showed shame.

That's right, they just made Jingzhou complete.

It's OK to be happy, but you can't be proud.

"In this war, more than 6,000 people were killed and more than 15,000 were injured, including 3,821 seriously injured and disabled people. Your contribution was exchanged for these soldiers' lives. After the celebration, should you comfort these soldiers? Do you think the Japanese king was just nonsense at the banquet?" Liu Jun said.

No one mentioned the pension matter he mentioned that day to implement in the past few days.

This made them very upset.

However, he understood that the ancient concept of esteemedness and inferiority could not be reversed in a moment. To make them truly value the welfare of ordinary soldiers, subtle influence and education are needed.

So, he has to personally promote this matter now so that they can understand it.

"The last thing will be known to you."

"I know the crime."

Everyone lowered their heads and replied in unison.

After scanning everyone, Liu Jun got up and walked down the steps.

"Su Jin, Xue Changqing, today you will start to implement the task of comforting soldiers. For soldiers who died in battle, you will pay pensions according to their 20-year military pay. In addition, the families of soldiers who died in battle should also enjoy preferential policies in terms of taxation, study, etc. You can discuss these with Li Zuofu and give the results to me." Liu Jun said.

Currently, the monthly salary of a soldier in Jingzhou is two taels of silver, and twenty-four taels a year.

The twenty-year pension is 480 taels, which is equivalent to the contemporary 300,000.

The total amount of pension for more than 6,000 soldiers was more than 3 million taels of silver.

"If there are serious injuries and disabled people who are completely lost to their ability to work, they will be given equal pensions for military pay, tax exemptions and other preferential policies, and the rest will be given equal pensions for ten years." Liu Jun continued.

When Su Jin and Xue Changqing and other generals heard this, they were all shocked.

Such generous pensions for soldiers can be said to be that no country in the entire East continent can do it.

However, from this point, it can also be seen that Liu Jun attaches importance to soldiers.

It’s no wonder that the soldiers support Liu Jun so much on weekdays.

"Yes, Your Highness." The three of them said in unison.

Li Ran bowed behind and said, "Your Highness, I think that this pension should be paid annually. On the one hand, it can reduce financial pressure. On the other hand, it will inevitably lead to some unfilial descendants who spend too much money, resulting in a short-term wealthy life, long-term poverty, and avoid coveting people in their clans, giving time to complain to the soldiers who died in battle."

Liu Jun pondered for a while after hearing this, and felt that what Li Ran said made sense.

But he was worried that this would arouse doubts from the soldiers' relatives.

Moreover, I have a long night and a lot of dreams, so I am afraid that the officials will deduct things in the future.

After measuring, he said: "Discounted annually, the time is too long, and it is too easy to change. In this way, first, ten years of pension will be paid in one lump sum, and then the next one will be paid annually. For each family of the soldiers who died in battle, you must register and make a record."

The two methods were compromised, and everyone nodded.

After instructing the matter of pension to the soldiers, Liu Jun continued: "After the four foreign governments have been taken back, they will immediately resume production with all their might. Next, the government office and the army will have to bear the burden and organize the more than 3 million new refugees recruited recently into the Agricultural Construction Camp and settle in the four foreign governments. For those who originally wanted to return, the original land acres would be returned."

Li Ran and other government officials remembered it silently when they heard this.

"In terms of the army, the most important thing at the moment is to protect Dongyang Pass, and the second is to continue to implement military reform. The war has ended. The next stage of recruitment should be changed to a conscript system, and the recruitment system will no longer be implemented." Liu Jun said.

Since his time travel, he has gradually felt the drawbacks of the recruitment system.

The so-called recruitment of soldiers is just about using money to fight.

Soldiers fight on the battlefield for money.

Since it is a recruiting system, there is no pension for soldiers from Rongchao to die in battle.

Because this is a business, it’s okay to fight for the wind, and once you encounter a fight for the wind.

In order to save lives, soldiers are likely to escape.

During this northern expedition, the Jingzhou army fought completely with the wind, so the soldiers were quite stable.

However, in Chen Xian's first army, this problem was more prominent.

The mountain marches and the later resistance to the Fuyu people.

Although most soldiers fought bravely based on their passion for land integrity.

But there are still a small number of soldiers playing tricks on the battlefield.

This situation is even more obvious in Liangzhou's encirclement and suppression of rebellion.

Because he has no sense of belonging to other states, the soldiers in Jingzhou are not in a high mood for fighting.

This time, he took out a large amount of silver and pension to pave the way for the voluntary system.

Let their soldiers understand that they and the army are not simply employment relationships.

They went to the battlefield for the sake of the interests of their country.

Of course, in addition to money, he will also strengthen his education on soldiers in the future and improve his combat effectiveness in his thoughts.

"Yes, Your Highness." Xue Changqing and Su Jin nodded.

Both of them have learned about the new system.

Although the military pay for soldiers is the same, both in the obligation and recruitment system.

But the meaning of this word is different. After entering the army, the soldiers' thoughts are naturally different.

"Your Highness, in this battle of Fuyu, 180,000 Fuyu soldiers were captured, and I don't know what to do?" Su Jin asked.

"What do you think?" Liu Jun asked.
