In fact, to be fair, the political ecology of the Song Dynasty can be called the pinnacle of feudal society. It does not kill scholars, officials, farmers, industry and commerce, or those who write books and talk about things. It respects private property. The people can satisfy their lives for thirty cents a day, while the general daily salary of urban residents is two or three hundred cents, and mountain people also have an income of about one hundred cents. Many people only need to work for two hours a day to live a very comfortable life. To be honest, this is the quality of life in the 20th century.

As for the later Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, they were actually a political retreat. Thinking about the Lingchi Zha, the Da Mengchao who starved to death by the people, and then thinking about the Michao who fought to be a robber slave and was always inquired about the literary inquisition. Sun Yue became more and more excited when he spoke unknowingly, and he almost forgot his identity. He spoke so eloquently and talked endlessly.

In his previous life, he heard a historical bull tell him that the various systems in later generations are essentially a supplement and improvement of the Song Dynasty system, and they are even worse than the Song Dynasty in some places, so most of the systems in later generations can be applied to the Song Dynasty system, so he really couldn't stop at all. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu were already stunned and forgot to eat wine and food.

"According to your method, the court will do its best to the 100,000 imperial guards. So, what about the local wing troops? They can't do this too, the court can't afford their welfare."

Sun Yue said: "Indeed, with such huge logistical pressure, even the imperial guards cannot be expanded, so the Xiang army naturally cannot learn from it. However, the official family naturally has combat effectiveness in this dynasty, but what about a hundred years later? Under the policy of strong, weak branches, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight at that time, so I think it is better to start the layout now and change the Xiang army."

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin no longer regarded him as a nonsense child, and said seriously: "Tell me, how to change the Xiangjun."

"The separation of military and political affairs is enough. The officials want to set up a fortune envoy to seize the wealth and power of the Jiedushi. I think this is a great strategy, but I still say the same thing. Whether the Jiedushi is a good candidate, this is just a leaf from the upper class, and every soldier is the root. Of course, the court definitely does not have that much energy to the wing army, and there is no need, but I think that at least it should be controlled at the level of the prefect and commander."

"The prefect and the commander? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Of course it is not appropriate. The rank of the prefect is above the commander, but the prefect is all civil servants. How can they understand the military affairs? All the money from the local area is taken away by the transshipment officer. For the sake of the people's livelihood, the prefects will inevitably embezzle a large amount of money on local construction. In the long run, it will not take hundreds of years. In less than twenty years, the Xiang army will be abolished. If the minister is the prefect, the Xiang army, it will be enough to starve to death. They may even use it as a place for refugees to be stuffed with manual work and make up for financial difficulties. If the officials do this, what level will the officials think the performance assessment of the minister is?"

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned a little green, so he had to say, "As long as you don't fight, you should be a good person."

"The official family is a wise and wing army, which was originally intended to supplement the imperial guards. During the conquest, they either built bridges and roads for the vanguards or transported food and grass for logistics. If the prefects in various places were doing the same thing as ministers, thirty years later, there would be 500,000 wing army, but could they still block the charge of the Khitan cavalry?"

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned dark and said directly: "Okay, let's just say your countermeasures are, should we improve the status of commander?"

Sun Yue said: "This is naturally absolutely impossible. The commander must be under the prefect and control the military with civil servants. Otherwise, the commander has a knife handle in his hand, and the prefect becomes a decoration, which is no different from the Later Tang Dynasty. I think that the subordinates of the Military Commission can send another civil servant position to the local area. Under the prefect, they are responsible for military affairs, but they directly report to the transfer envoy and take out the military budget separately. The prefect has no right to use it. They are responsible for the life problems of the soldiers of the soldiers of the prefectures and counties. Therefore, this person controls the money bag in the military camp. In this way, this person can not only check and balance the commander, but also have some restrictions on the prefect."

Zhao Pu frowned and said, "In this way, the power of the Transportation Commissioner is a bit too great. I'm afraid that someone like the governor will send to restrict the Transportation Commissioner. Hiss, it's another big project." As he said that, he actually rubbed his temples with his hands.

Sun Yue had no choice but to smile and said, "That... I thought about the relationship between the transferee and the governor at the level of the prefect, so naturally you will have to worry about it, Master."

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, continue to say, can you really think of everything when you point at you?"

"Yes, then I will continue to say that the Xiang army, in my opinion, also needs to be treated differently. What I just said is only applicable to most prefectures. The functions of the front line and the rear line are naturally different. For example, the Tianxiong Army in Xiongzhou, which is stationed on the front line of the Khitan, is naturally not the same as other places. Not to mention sending a transshipment envoy to collect money, the court has to supplement them with a lot of military expenditure every year. This kind of place is naturally not feasible."

Zhao Pu said: "This is also the crux of the strong, dry and weak branches. In that kind of place, everything is given priority to war. It is actually meaningless to send a transfer envoy or not."

"I think that they can enjoy the treatment of the imperial guards. We cannot send a transfer envoy, we can send a political commissar, and their children and their families to work in the factory, and then send civil servants to manage industry and commerce. The court can set up some workshops with military and firearms there. These things cannot be managed by the Jiedushi. If necessary, they can even let their brothers and sisters work in Kaifeng. As long as this virtuous cycle is maintained, the Tianxiong Army is an inseparable part of the imperial guards, and it will no longer be the Fu family army."

Zhao Pu smiled and said, "The government should be unified as soon as possible. If Xiongzhou only allows him to enjoy the treatment of an imperial guard, the court would be able to afford it. If Qinzhou, Yangzhou and Luzhou all enjoy this treatment, the court would have to let the soldiers eat the bad."
