Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Zhu Gang continued with a serious expression: "Yin Xing also made proper arrangements for the materials needed for the military farm.

The agricultural tools, oxen and seeds needed for military farming were all distributed by the government.

This solved the problem of soldiers preparing supplies on their own and enabled the farming work to be carried out smoothly.

However, Yin Xing also knew that while providing convenience to the soldiers, it was also necessary to clarify the corresponding responsibilities and requirements.

Therefore, he stipulated that after three years, the amount of stored grain must be higher than the tax on civilian land.

This seemingly strict requirement was actually intended to motivate the soldiers to work hard on farming and increase the yield of the military farms.

In addition, as a form of compensation for the soldiers' work on the farms, once this requirement was met, they would be exempt from corvee labor.

This ensures that the soldiers' efforts in the military farming work are rewarded accordingly, and makes them more willing to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the military farming affairs.

In addition, Yin Xing also made a clear definition of the nature of the land where the soldiers were stationed.

These lands belong to the government and individuals have no land rights.

In order to ensure the rational use of land resources and maintain the stability of the military farming system, he formulated strict regulations: one, no transfer is allowed, and two, no buying and selling is allowed.

This is like adding two solid shackles to the land, preventing a series of chaos and conflicts that may be caused by land transfer.

Once a soldier is unable to continue to cultivate the land due to transfer, old age, illness, accident, etc., then the land must be returned to the government without reservation.

Such regulations ensured that the military farming work could be carried out in an orderly manner, and also ensured that the military farming system of Shuozhou Wei could operate stably and for a long time.

Under Yin Xing's careful planning and strong promotion, the military farming work in Shuozhou Wei gradually got on the right track.

It laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of the military garrisons in various parts of Shanxi.

The reason why I was able to achieve such great success during my time in Taiyuan is closely related to the preliminary work done by Yin Xing.

In addition, the inspiration for setting up Tianchousi was also largely inspired by Yin Xing.”

Zhu Di's brows were furrowed, his eyes were full of confusion, and he was completely bewildered by the current situation.

He kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind, trying to figure out the reasons behind this complicated situation, but he could never get to the point.

At this moment, Zhu Di's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the scene of his previous contact with Yin Xing.

At that time, Zhu Di was deeply impressed by the restraint and awe that Yin Xing showed in front of everyone.

Every move he made was cautious and every word he said was carefully considered, as if he was always worried that he would say or do the wrong thing.

Zhu Di still remembered that every time Yin Xing looked at him, there would always be a hint of subtle nervousness in his eyes, as if he was deliberately hiding something.

Inspired by Zhu Gang's words at this moment, various clues in Zhu Di's mind converged and collided like lightning.

He slapped his thigh suddenly, and a light flashed in his eyes.

It was as if the fog that had been shrouding my mind was blown away by a gust of wind, and I suddenly understood.

It turned out that Yin Xing's seemingly inappropriate restraint and awe before actually hid such a deep meaning.

Zhu Di finally realized that Yin Xing's various behaviors were not simply due to his personal character or fear of power, but were closely related to the current complicated situation.

As the King of Yan, Zhu Di couldn't help but secretly admire Yin Xing's deep scheming.

At the same time, he also thought more carefully about how to deal with this increasingly complicated situation next.

"Third brother, you really woke me up with a word!
It turns out that the reason why Yin Zhenfu chose to hide his incompetence was to paralyze Lin Zhen, the commander of the Luzhou Prefecture Guard, and thus induce him to take on the task of assisting General Wang in escorting grain and grass. "

Zheng Yuchun had been standing quietly in the corner, as silent as a sculpture.

After hearing Zhu Di's words of sudden enlightenment, it seemed that the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for a long time could no longer be suppressed. He slowly raised his head, slightly opened his lips, and sighed softly.

This sigh was long and heavy, as if carrying countless unspeakable thoughts and emotions.

Zheng Yuchun's eyes were a little wandering, revealing a hint of helplessness and worry.

The sigh slowly dissipated in the quiet tent, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Although it did not cause any huge waves, it did create ripples in everyone's hearts.

The people around couldn't help but look at Zheng Yuchun, trying to guess what he was thinking from his sigh.

Zheng Yuchun remained silent, but his slightly furrowed brows seemed to reveal the unknown worries deep in his heart.

Zhu Gang frowned and said, "Deputy Commander Zheng, you seem to have something to say.

We are all family here, so feel free to speak your mind if you have anything to say."

After organizing his words a bit, Zheng Yuchun slowly said, "The garrison commander is a third-rank military officer and has the highest military command authority in the garrison.

There are now 547 internal and external guards in the entire Ming Dynasty. We don’t know how many of them have been infiltrated by aristocratic families like the Luzhou Prefecture Guards! "

After a moment of silence, Zhu Gang said firmly: "At least in Shanxi and Nanzhili, there will never be garrisons that are disloyal.

The most important thing at the moment is to take advantage of the good opportunity when Lin Zhen leaves Luzhou Prefecture Guard to completely eradicate the forces planted by the aristocratic families in the local army."

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the central army tent.

The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, but steady and powerful, as if carrying an innate majesty.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at the tent door, and saw Li Heng, the prince's eunuch, holding the imperial edict, slowly walking into the central military tent with solemn steps.

He was dressed in a well-tailored eunuch's uniform made of high-quality fabric.

Under the candlelight in the tent, it glowed faintly.

Li Heng was wearing a black gauze hat at this moment, and the brim of the hat was trembling slightly.

Every step he took was extremely steady, as if he had gone through countless times of rigorous training.

The imperial edict held high in his hand, the bright yellow brocade shone with noble light under the candlelight.

The intricate patterns embroidered with gold thread on the imperial edict appeared particularly gorgeous against the interweaving of light and shadow.

He had a serious face, a solemn expression, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.

After entering the tent, Li Heng first glanced calmly at everyone present, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everyone's thoughts.

Then he raised his head slightly and said in a loud and clear voice: "Generals, the imperial edict has arrived!"

The sound echoed in the tent like a huge bell, causing the already quiet tent to fall into dead silence in an instant.

Everyone involuntarily straightened up, waiting for the imperial edict to be read.

"Your Majesty's oral order: This imperial decree is only announced to the King of Jin and the King of Yan. All others who are not related should stay away!"

As soon as the prince's eunuch Li Heng finished speaking, the other generals and officers present all looked stern.

They knew in their hearts that the matters involved in the reading of the imperial edict must be important and confidential, and it was not appropriate for them to be present to hear it.

Then everyone looked at each other, with a tacit understanding in their eyes.
