Chen Xi glanced at Fazheng, who was sitting next to Jia Xu, but didn't say anything. In terms of ability, he was indeed qualified to sit in that position. At most, his thinking was a bit out of the ordinary. Just practice and practice. Since Jia Xu and Man Chong They didn't mind that Fazheng was sitting there and Chen Xi pretended not to see him, but with the status he enjoyed, he also had to shoulder certain responsibilities. ?. .
The general's side opposite can be said to be noisy now. After all, this is the first time Liu Bei has formally summoned everyone. The position where he sits can clearly indicate his status.
There is nothing to say about the first place being vacant. Guan Erye is the boss. No one is dissatisfied with Zhang Fei sitting in the second position. There is nothing to say about Zhao Yun sitting in the third position. Hua Xiong sits behind Zhao Yun, and Sun Guan follows immediately. There is only one vacant position among the military generals. Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Yu Jin, Zang Ba and those who have not returned are ignored. Otherwise, Gan Ning's outstanding record would be enough to squeeze out Hua Xiong.
When Liu Bei came, everyone had found their seats. Liu Bei took one look and stopped paying attention to these things.
"Everyone, I have called you here today to discuss important matters. Zichuan also has some resolutions to implement." Liu Bei did not have the habit of talking nonsense at the beginning, so he spoke bluntly when he came up.
After recounting all the things he had said and seen today, the generals all looked at Liu Bei enthusiastically. It was so touching to help the world at the same time! "Well, that's the goal. We want to shine glory on the earth. We must first provide for food and clothing. Then we can further enrich the people and strengthen the country. My goal is to educate the young and provide for the elderly!" Chen Xi coughed. For a moment, he wiped away the embarrassment of being criticized by civil servants before, and said solemnly and uprightly.
"That's what Zichuan said." Chen Xi was pretending. Liu Bei now looks like he is possessed by a sage. He has been deceived and is lame. He has entered the state. This is his goal, "Zichuan. Explain your plan completely!"
Chen Xi had no choice but to stand up again and began to explain universal education, household registration, and of course donations.
"That's basically it. According to this order, many academies should officially start enrolling students this month. By the beginning of next spring, it will basically be available to most places in Taishan, Qingzhou. Of course, given that some places are too remote, there is no guarantee that for some Scholars who are willing to go to remote areas will have their welfare level increased by one and their salary doubled. Zijing, what other benefits are there? "Chen Xi is really not good at details. The general direction is fine, but the details are incompetent. "Zijing, can our Taishan treasury still support you?" Liu Bei asked.
"The summer grain has been paid in early October, and there is commercial tax support. As long as the current stable situation can be maintained, Zichuan estimates that the first explosive prosperity will be ushered in three years later, and the tax revenue will further rise, supporting the young man's Education is not too difficult." Lu Su said that as long as it remains stable, Taishan can support it.
"What if we enter a state of war?" Liu Bei frowned and said.
Chen Xi glanced at Lu Su and stood up, "Even if we enter a state of war, this expenditure cannot be cut off. It is related to our future."
As soon as these words came out, the military commanders began to whisper and become uneasy. It was obvious that Chen Xi's approach had some intention of suppressing the military commanders.
"You can rest assured that there is still money. There will be no vacancies in the treasury if I am still here." Seeing the generals whispering, Chen Xi glanced around and said calmly. This time, no one refuted.
Chen Xi will not tell others that his idea is that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Anyway, universal education must be done. As for the war, there will be other ways when the time comes. Let¡¯s get through this first.
With Chen Xi¡¯s guarantee, the generals have nothing to say. Everyone agrees that Chen Xi is very good at making money. Since there is no problem of reducing the number of troops, the generals are happy to support Chen Xi.
In this harmonious atmosphere, household registration and education were passed without any problems. At most, these people will need to spend some money to buy a place as an academy, or some rich people are willing to donate money.
"The next thing I want to do is to improve the welfare of soldiers. In view of the fact that some soldiers, whether they are thirteen or fourteen years old or in their forties, are recruiting into the army to expand their strength, I plan to forcibly lay off those soldiers who do not meet the standards." Chen Xi glanced at the general opposite with a cold expression.
In an instant, all the generals entered the state, including Zhao Yun, a guy who worked as a civil servant all day long, who also paid great attention to his military power.
"First of all, everyone under the age of eighteen will be expelled. Do those kind of guys have fighting ability?" Chen Xi glared at the opposite person. "At the age of thirty-two, they will be expelled for not reaching the rank of captain. At the age of thirty-five, they will be expelled for not reaching the centurion level. At the age of forty, the generals at the bottom will be transferred to the army." to logistics.¡±
"Zichuan, this is not possible. There are many thirty-year-old soldiers in our army, and many of them are old soldiers who follow us. Once the army is reduced and there is no pay, what will they do?" All the generals stared at Zhao Yun, unable to do anything. , this group of peopleZhao Yun is more sharp-tongued, and his historical record is even with Chen Xi.
"Zijing, read welfare!" Chen Xi turned to give Lu Su a look.
Lu Su stood up and picked up the plan, smiled and began to read aloud. Compared with the half-finished product of the previous education, he had carefully researched the welfare of the soldiers. He gave the retired soldiers enough honor and benefits without spending much money and food. , Lu Su is very proud of this.
Zhao Yun was stunned after hearing this. These benefits are not ordinary. Every item can be said to be towards the goal of relieving the soldiers' worries!
"Brother, the current disarmament will result in our army having no soldiers to use!" After hearing this, Zhang Fei knew that it was useless to use retired soldiers to make life difficult for Chen Xi. They had already been prepared, so he turned to ask directly Liu Bei.
"General Zhang, please be patient." Chen Xi said with a smile, "I just retired some soldiers who did not meet the standards. I did not say that you are not allowed to recruit soldiers. You can recruit the troops that meet the standards in the field army."
"But this cannot guarantee combat effectiveness!" Zhao Yun obviously wanted to compromise. The group of people on the opposite side were obviously prepared, and it was inevitable that they would not be able to stand up.
"It's a pity that all the generals looked at Zhao Yun. In desperation, Zhao Yun had to stand up and continue fighting. However, Zhao Yun was not stupid. He knew when to be cunning and handed Chen Xi a step.
"That's right! Once these people are laid off, the combat effectiveness of our army will drop significantly, and the newly recruited troops will be far inferior to the veterans." Zhang Fei echoed, "I think it is better for us to retire batch by batch. ¡±
Zhang Fei insists on stalling this matter first, batch by batch, and he will definitely not be able to get it done in the end. When Guan Yu comes back, there will be no problem if the generals take the lead.
At this moment, Zhao Yun wanted to give Zhang Fei a hug. He was simply the best sixth man. If he hadn¡¯t known that Zhang Fei had definitely not colluded with Chen Xi, Zhao Yun would have wanted to say that Zhang Fei had been bribed by the opposite civil servant)
