The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 372 Prepare to Build a Granary

Zhao Xu looked at Miao Xun in surprise, although Miao Xun didn't know where Zhao Xu came up with such an idea.

But what Miao Xun said is almost the same, it is a spiritual imprint, as long as their spirit is imprinted with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, these people have become the most loyal army of the country.

This point has been proved by practice in later generations by a person who has been made into the dirtiest country in China. He is loyal to the emperor, patriotic, loyal to their leader, and will never regret it until he dies.

"Mr. is right. It is to let them remember in their spirit that they should be loyal to the emperor and the whole country so that they are soldiers of the country at any time, not everyone's tool."

This kind of benefit is not only for Zhao Kuangyin, even anyone can see it, this thing is excellent.

"Since both Mister and Zhao Pu have made a good decision, then you can arrange this matter and resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes are also shining:
"By the way, I really want to ask you where to use so many people, and can you guarantee that these people are truly loyal to my Great Song Dynasty and the imperial court?"

Zhao Kuangyin, who was overjoyed, thought of one thing, that is, the matter Zhao Xu said would require a lot of people.

Where can I find so many people now? As he himself said, even if there are so many people, no one can guarantee that they are all loyal to the court, right?

"Haha old man, it's really easy to handle the matter of gracious father." Did he still want to call him daddy?But he immediately realized that this was not the time when the father and son were alone together.

"You don't know that there are no less than 1 people who have graduated from the Imperial Army Military Academy. These people have undergone strict training from me. They not only have excellent skills, but also are loyal to the court."

The Forbidden Army Military Academy was established by Zhao Xu in imitation of the military academies of later generations. Although it cannot be said that they are comparable to the soldiers of later generations, there is one thing that they are definitely comparable to.

That is ideological education. In addition to teaching the art of war, these forbidden soldiers who entered the forbidden army military academy also taught them in combination with battle examples.

At the same time, like ordinary soldiers, they do their own exercises in the morning and evening, without any exceptions. This is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that they also need to be instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, so that they have a belief, that is, to be loyal to their monarch.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu was really afraid that the people he had trained would end up being someone else's tool. Isn't that a waste of time?
So these people who come out of it are not only excellent in various qualities, but more importantly, they are loyal to his emperor and his principal.

Among them, Zhao Xu, the principal, was also the object of their loyalty, which was also an important reason why Zhao Xu was able to turn the tide.

"I have nearly 1 people here who can be sent to various places now, so we can rest assured."

Zhao Kuangyin has also seen these soldiers from the Forbidden Army Military Academy, and they are trained according to the general's standard.

These people followed him to the battlefields of the four prefectures of Qin and Feng, and what they did really surprised Zhao Kuangyin.

Such a person is not worried about going to Zhao Kuangyin, but he still has a question:

"However, these 1 people are the forbidden army. If they are allowed to go to other places, there will be a shortage of the forbidden army."

If all the more than 1 forbidden troops are sent out, the number of forbidden troops will definitely not be enough. Zhao Kuangyin is also very thoughtful.

"You don't need to worry too much about this. The 1 soldiers are all selected from the most basic soldiers, and they also recruit qualified soldiers from the local Xiang army, so the foundation of the imperial army will not be shaken at all."

"Besides, the 1 of them don't belong to any single battalion in the Imperial Army, so it won't cause much impact. I can train so many people in the short term, so you don't have to worry at all."

In this way, the more than 1 people who came out of the Forbidden Army Military Academy were destined to go to various places to serve.

It's unclear how the effect will be, but the long-term effect has been rescued. Zhao Kuangyin is in a good mood after this matter is resolved.

However, national affairs are not so easy to solve, so they are not called national affairs, they are children's play games.

"Your Majesty, I had a discussion with my brother just now. We will start preparing food and grass. This year's tax has just come up, which is [-]% more than in previous years. We also have a lot of food; we can also build a granary to store it and use it as military food. .Or it can be used for disaster relief in times of catastrophe.”

"Oh, Zhao Pu, do you want the court to set up granaries to store grain?" Zhao Kuangyin heard Zhao Pu meant this.

"Your Majesty, that's what Mr. Zhao said. Besides, setting up granaries is not a special case of our Song Dynasty. It existed as far back as the Sui Dynasty."

This matter was discussed between the two of them. Of course Miao Xun wanted to stand up and speak, and this was also for the future.

The opening of the granary is the habit of storing grain since the Sui Dynasty, and the entire Sui Dynasty, which does not mean that other dynasties in history did not store grain.

It's this, but the storage of grain in the Sui Dynasty is indeed a major feature of this dynasty, and it is also a feature of the entire ancient dynasty.

The Sui court set up granaries in various places, that is, every year during the busy farming season, relevant officials would go to the ground to check.

Then according to the specific conditions of each place, the farmers have paid taxes or purchased the farmers' grain by themselves, and then stored it.

It is said that in history, more than ten years after the Sui Dynasty perished, the grain stored in the Sui Dynasty had not been completely used up, and the amount of grain stored in the Sui Dynasty can be seen in general.

Now Zhao Pu's proposal that the Song Dynasty should do the same is for the sake of the great cause of the unification of the Song Dynasty in the future, and it will be convenient for future wars.

"I also heard that Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty, ordered the establishment of granaries in Hedi, among which the Luokou granaries and Chiayi granaries were the largest. Even after the Sui Dynasty collapsed more than ten years ago, the Tang Dynasty still used the grain in them. Prince, you treat them What do you think of the proposal?"

Zhao Xu didn't expect that he could talk about this matter, and he didn't understand it, but it didn't mean he couldn't express his opinion:

"Enn, now I think it is necessary, especially since we have to unify the world, so now we have to make preparations early, so as not to be in a hurry in the future."

It is not only the army that is fighting in the war, but more importantly, the strength of the economy. Whoever has the most wealth has a greater chance of winning.

Or it is said that there are three armies Weidong grain and grass first, that's the reason, now the Song Dynasty wants to set up a granary, probably for the use of a family's war.

As for the people in the year of catastrophe, that is not the most important thing, it is a secondary use, and now that we think about these things, we should consider them.
