Wang Shouren said: "The establishment of the standing army was not only the imperial court recruited troops and provided support to them, but the students thought that there was still something missing."

Fang Jifan felt that the tea in his hand was not so hot, so he took a sip of the tea.

He knew that Wang Shouren had been thinking a lot. Since he had put forward his ideas, it must be the result of his careful consideration. "But, based on this alone, it was still far from enough to recruit talents into the army. People say that good men do not serve in the army. The military households at the beginning were too hard and too hard, like untouchables. Now it is very difficult to reverse the concept of the people of the world at once."

Fang Jifan agreed and nodded, "This is the truth, what can Bo'an have? ""Not without it." Wang Shouren said: "Ordinary people need to solve a problem. This problem lies in promotion. With promotion, people have hope and **. Therefore, students plan to not only allow some outstanding soldiers to be sent to the martial arts lecture hall after making meritorious service and promoted to military officers, but also plan to divide the soldiers into three levels, and give different treatments based on their qualifications, military service, and meritorious service, such as giving some benefits to their salaries, or giving them a sum of silver when they need to be placed in the land. "In this way, the soldiers may not feel that they have the opportunity to make great contributions and become military officers. But at least they are more enterprising in the army."

Fang Jifan looked at Wang Shouren strangely. Wang Shouren was indeed smart and looked very much like himself. He was simply from the same mold. Hey? He is really Wang Hua's son?

Fang Jifan said happily: "I am the one who decides this matter. When I meet the saint tomorrow, I will go and tell Your Majesty that Your Majesty will keep it and agree."

"There is another problem." Wang Shouren seemed ashamed and coughed: "This question has been thought about for a long time. Alas... Speaking of which, it is still related to the issue of expansion. Mentor, you also know that most people in this world have prejudices against military people. Although... the soldiers recruited now are not military households, but mentor... It is not a day when the ice is frozen. The treatment of warriors is low and they are despised. It has been there since ancient times. Although soldiers are recruited everywhere, if only

It's okay to recruit thousands of people. No matter what, the world is so big, there can still be many people. But now... the army is going to expand. This time, it's not thousands, but tens of thousands. In the future, it's even more likely to be hundreds of thousands. The Ministry of War has already felt difficult to recruit soldiers on such a large scale. Most of the people recruited by the people are of varying quality and ordinary good families, and they are simply disdainful of this. If this problem is not solved, I'm afraid... this standing army..."

It turns out... Wang Shouren also has times of difficulty.

Fang Jifan laughed when he heard this. He paused, but looked at Ouyang Zhi: "I'm here to test you. You are the Minister of Personnel. Let me tell you, how should this matter be resolved?"

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a long time and said, "Give the money."

"How much is enough?"

At this moment, Ouyang Zhi remained silent.

Yes, how much should I give to ensure that it is attractive to good families?

Ten taels a year are not enough, so twenty taels, thirty taels, fifty taels?

This is not the way to solve the problem at all.

The court could clearly spend one million taels of silver to raise 100,000 people, so why did it take 50,000 or 30,000?

The Ming Dynasty had a large size, and the troops it recruited could not be thousands or tens of thousands, but tens of millions of dollars.

When recruiting troops, the money must be paid, and it may be enough for them to eat and drink from their family. No matter how much they have, the court cannot afford it.

Seeing that the brothers and brothers were speechless, Fang Jifan beat him up: "For this matter, let's find a way for the master. Oh... The disciples are not good at it, and being masters will inevitably be heartbroken. Don't be ashamed, the master is talking about Xu Jing."

Wang Shouren glanced at his mentor strangely.

Seeing his mentor's calm look, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

To put it bluntly, this question is a prejudice that has been prejudice for hundreds of years.

Since the Song Dynasty, suppressing warriors has become the national policy of every generation of emperors. After all, before the Song Dynasty, warriors relied on their own military achievements to show off their power and separatist areas, and then violated the superiors.

The entire history from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty was the history of a warrior killing his own emperor. The emperors and those who are strong and powerful are doing it. This is by no means empty talk, but the most real history.

Because of this, since the Song Dynasty, I have never relaxed my prejudice and vigilance against warriors.

So the status of warriors has reached an outrageous level.

A civil servant of the seventh rank can denounce military officers of the third and fourth rank in person. If military officers are like this, then... ordinary soldiers are even worse than pigs and dogs.

The military households in the Ming Dynasty were the worst, and their treatment may not be much better than beggars.

Under this habit of years, as Wang Shouren said, if you want to recruit thousands or tens of thousands of people, you will definitely be able to recruit. If you recruit tens of thousands more, although it is of varying quality, it may not be impossible. But if it is a large-scale recruitment, then...

Don't think about it!

Because there are always a few foolish guys in this world who join the army at the end of their lives. It is also possible that someone has fallen into Fang Jifan's evil spirit and enters the army.

But Fang Jifan did not have the skill of group surrendering, so everyone could not be possessed by evil spirits.

Wang Shouren has thought of many ways, but it is too difficult to improve.

This concept is just like the thief in the heart advocated by Wang Shouren. This is the thief in the heart deep in the hearts of the people of the world. It is easy to break the thief, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart!

But the mentor seemed not to take this matter to heart, and just said casually that he could handle this matter.

This shocked Wang Shouren.

In fact, many times, Wang Shouren always feels that his mentor has never seen him read any books and is idle all day long, either just eating, drinking and having fun.

He is different from other disciples. Other disciples will never have any doubts about their mentors.

But if Wang Shouren had no doubts about Fang Jifan just because Fang Jifan was his mentor, then he would not be Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren could think, and the more he thought, the more he felt like he had fallen into a dead end, because his mentor was really unfathomable, or his mentor... Maybe sometimes it was a blind cat who really encountered a dead mouse.

Of course, whether the mentor has the ability or not can't change the fact that Wang Shouren is a disciple of Fang Jifan.

Now... Wang Shouren couldn't help but start thinking, mentor... can really solve this problem easily? If so, how can the thief in the hearts of millions of people be broken by these hundreds of years of prejudices?

Fang Jifan didn't know what Wang Shouren was thinking about again, but said, "It's not too late, Bo'an, go and wash the dishes, clean them, don't think about it when washing the dishes."

Wang Shouren stood up and packed the dishes.

Ouyang Zhihou realized it later and waited for Wang Shouren to take away the bowls and chopsticks, he said, "Junior brother, I'll do such a rough job."

He said toward the void in front of the door.

Fang Jifan was stunned. Is Ouyang Zhi mentally retarded or clever?

…………

The next day, Fang Jifan entered the palace and drafted a charter that Wang Shouren mentioned yesterday.

Both Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were there.

So Zhu Houzhao seemed more regular and said seriously: "Divid soldiers into third grades? Why didn't I expect it? Humph! Wang Bo'an made me so angry. I can always come up with such a way to return his constitution to me."

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with sympathy: "Your Majesty, you are cheating."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looking at him speechlessly, he coughed: "I'm just kidding, are you taking it seriously? Humph, it's really... it's really... this charter is amazing. Wang Bo'an is indeed worthy of being my Minister of War. This person is still very talented. What I want is his wonderful idea. I have been approved by this matter, and the Ministry of War will implement it according to the rules."

Fang Jifan breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang didn't say anything either.

When they reach their age, if they don’t really get angry, they will never come up with their own ideas easily.

Zhu Houzhao then said, "Lao Fang... Fang Qing's family, it seems that you have something to do."

"Oh." Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is really a wise man. You can see at a glance that I still have my thoughts in my heart. I... I have nowhere to hide in front of you."

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang: “…”

Based on their years of life experience, they have now begun to think deeply.

If you are not mentally retarded, this pair of monarchs and ministers will be a model of a scheming monarch and slander. Look at it horizontally and look at it vertically, but they are... why can they do many practical things?

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the two masters, but she was very happy and said with a smile: "Tell me, tell me, what's the matter?"

Fang Jifan said, "It's just about recruiting troops, and there are still some difficulties. The ordinary good family members refuse to join the army. They insist on persuading them, but they don't believe them. Your Majesty... Now the permanent army is preparing to expand. This is the most urgent task. Your Majesty has always been wise and thinks he has an idea."

Zhu Houzhao looked confused.

Why don’t they join the army?

Isn’t it good to be a soldier?

Why do I have an idea? I have a mace. Do you believe it or not? I will smash your spiritual cover.

"I...I..." Zhu Houzhao swallowed the words that almost blurted out and said, "Look, they refused to come, so they ordered the local government to punish those strong forces who refused to join the army."

Liu Jian, who had been listening silently, almost vomited blood when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "No, no, if this is the case, it is inevitable to complain. Your Majesty, if you force it like this, then what is the difference between it and the military households in the past?"

Zhu Houzhao was speechless for a while, and after a long time, she said, "So Master Liu has an idea?"

Liu Jian: "…”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang again: "Master Li thinks that Zhizhu is already holding it."

Li Dongyang: "…”
