Mr. Li Qian glanced at Zhao Huaili and said that the news was not accurate!

Yulin is barren and poor, and most local people use joining the army as a way out. As well as the people are strong, Yulin soldiers have always been famous for their bravery and good fighting.

Because of this, many generals in Yulin have been formed, passed down from generation to generation, and are all military.

For example, the Wang family, the Hou family, the You family, and the Li family are all relatively famous general families in Yulin area.

The new generation of the You family is more powerful, You Shigong (dead in battle in Chenyang), You Shiwei and You Shilu are famous for their bravery and have a relatively high official position.

However, according to seniority and qualifications, Yulin respects Wang Wei of the Wang family and the old man of the Hou family.

Wang Wei's hair and beard were all white, but his back was not hunched and his waist was not collapsed. He jumped off his horse and his movements were clean and neat.

Although Mr. Hou looked old, he also rode a horse, shook away his grandson's support, forced himself to get off the horse, looked at each other with Wang Wei, and then walked towards the yamen.

The door was open, and the newly promoted commander Sun Chuanting came out, followed by the new army general You Shilu and Qian Zong Qi Panzong.

After the ceremony, Sun Chuanting accompanied the two veteran generals to the yamen. The officials of the yamen brought in many officers outside and gathered and waited under the steps of the hall.

"Two old generals, please kneel down to receive the imperial edict." Sun Chuanting stood in the middle of the temple and asked for the imperial edict of the Ming Huang.

"The empress Wang (Hou) and Wei (Guo Zhong) received the order. Long live my emperor!" Wang Wei and Mr. Hou knelt on the ground, shouting long live the mountain.

Sun Chuanting launched an imperial edict and said loudly: "The emperor is in charge of heaven and the emperor is decreed: Wang Wei, Hou Guozhong..."

The officers below listened with their ears, and their faces gradually showed expressions of surprise or joy.

It turned out that the emperor gave favors to retired veteran generals with a rank of deputy generals and above, and it would continue until their death.

The key is not that only Wang Wei and Hou Guozhong have this treatment, but that from now on, this is the case forever.

What does it mean? Of course people in later generations understand that it is just a pension, and nothing special.

But in the Ming Dynasty, let alone military generals, even civil officials did not have such treatment!

Yes, it was not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the pension was not mentioned in ancient times.

Of course, during the Tang Dynasty, some rice and grain were distributed to retired officials to allow them to spend their old age. In the Song Dynasty, officials who retired could receive half of their salary during their reign as a living need.

But these are all unwritten or legal documents, and are not the same as the pensions in later generations.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the salary was still low, so there was no pension.

Because of this, many officials are proud when they are in office, and it is difficult for them to live a life even if they live. Therefore, this has become a reason for some officials to be corruption.

Zhu Youxiao saw this disadvantage and, in accordance with the principle of elevating military generals, began to gradually implement the pension system for officials.

This is the same idea as arranging the issue of retirement for father-in-laws. As long as you are not corrupt and do your job sincerely, I will not let you worry about your future life.

Wang Wei and Hou Guozhong naturally did not know the emperor's far-reaching plans, and were extremely excited to be treated with such courtesy. Unexpectedly, they had already left home, and the emperor was still thinking about them and their lives.

"I thank you for your kindness, long live long live long live long!" After a big prayer, the two kowtowed deeply.

Sun Chuanting put away the imperial edict, stepped forward to help the two veterans, and said with a smile: "The emperor's kindness is great. The two generals fought for the country on the battlefield, and they are also the treatment they deserve."

"I have been in the army for many years, but I have made a small contribution. I am really ashamed, ashamed!"

"I am also ashamed of being favored by the emperor and have aging body. I can only be driven by the juniors in my family to serve the country."

The two veterans were humble and bowed and took over the sabre awarded by the emperor with both hands. As for the salary they had supplemented, they just took a look.

Compared with gold and silver, honor is the most important thing. When you are old, old and are about to be buried, you can bring this honor into a coffin and put it into a family tree. This life is worth it.

Sun Chuanting asked the two veterans to sit down, pack up the incense table, and summon all the officers below to sit in.

His face calmed down and his eyes swept over the officers. Sun Chuanting said loudly: "The recharge of funds for Qingtou has come to an end. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army have ordered that the military household system has been a long time ago. The military military soldiers are lazy and lazy. We should revive the reform and strengthen the army and defend the country."

As he said that, Sun Chuanting took the document, glanced at the officers present, and began to convey it.

"...The land in the military camp is only rented but not sold. One acre cannot be invaded, and one grain cannot be gained or lost. Those who violate it will be punished severely and will not lend it..."

"......... The hereditary military households can be cancelled, and the civilians can be converted into their hometowns. They can also rent military garrisons to continue farming and live, and pay taxes, money and grain according to law..."

"...If you have a military member in the family, you can be exempted from renting and exempt from taxes for farming military farmland for less than three, and you can be exempt from renting and exempt from taxes for less than five...."

Listening to the new regulations, the officers looked different, and even the two veterans stroked their beards and pondered, calculating what this meant to the officers and soldiers.

"These are still temporary regulations. We will start trial in Shaanxi. If there are any errors and omissions, we can also stop it and make a decision after reporting it."

Sun Chuanting put down the document, his face calmed down, and said, "Call you here today, let me discuss it first. You can speak freely and express your opinions."

As he said that, he sat down and signaled his servants to bring tea and looked at the officers with a smile, as if he was encouraging.

From following Zuo Guangdou to Shaanxi to become an official and gradually turning to military affairs, Sun Chuanting was surprised at first, but soon became a role.

Sun Chuanting was a Jinshi and had no military career. However, he was very strategic and had read military books. He was a civil servant who knew military affairs.

As mentioned earlier, many civil servants in ancient times were all professional and capable, and their beautiful articles on the Four Books and Five Classics were specialized. They were all preferred, such as water conservancy, farming, research on things, military, etc.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty were usually divided into two types. One was a complete civil and military tycoon who had both strategies and could fight to kill enemies, such as Grandpa Qi, Lu Xiangsheng, etc.; the other was Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou was famous.

Zuo Guangdou, a big stubborn person, is quite good in practical work. He is not afraid of offending others. This is the only thing that can satisfy the emperor.

You don’t want to make any innovations, nor do you want to find good ways to reform the problems. If you can have laws, you must follow them, enforce the law strictly, and implement the court’s policies and measures, that is, you will be a good official.

The emperor also provided sufficient support for Zuo Guangdou's work.

Isn’t it said that the local officials are of low quality, so I will send you ten Jinshi people from the school. There is resistance to paying money for the Qingtou, and I will send Jinyiwei to help, and give you the power to mobilize troops to suppress them.

Sun Chuanting also worked diligently to be Zuo Guangdou's assistant so that the local area can be rectified and the replenishment of funds can be implemented smoothly.
