"Back to the emperor, Mr. Wei Guogong is sorting out the military register of the Ministry of War in the South Study Room!"

"Pass it!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Xin Yande again, "Let him tell it!"

~~

Duke Xu Huizu of Wei held a thick roster and walked in with a bit of fatigue.

"He said!" Zhu Yunxi pointed at Xin Yande, "I should no longer think about fighting and should spend money on the people. Come and tell him why I want to raise troops again!"

Xu Huizu also looked at Xin Yande, first put down the military book in his hand, and said to Zhu Yunxi, "Your Majesty, the old and weak people in Jiubian Town need to eliminate 280,000 people. Including their military personnel, the number will be no less than 600,000!"

Then, Xu Huizu looked at Xin Yande, "Xin Tongzheng, do you know that the vassal kings have been killed?"

Xin Yande nodded and said nothing.

"This number does not include the troops and horses that the feudal princes have secretly expanded over the years!" Xu Huizu clicked on the thick military book and continued, "You may not understand military matters. The disarmament and integration of northern Xinjiang and the re-division of garrison

, It seems like a waste of money now, but in the long run, does it mean that without these hundreds of thousands of people, it will reduce the burden on the people?"

Xin Yande thought carefully and then nodded.

This account is not difficult to calculate. Even if you spend 10 million silver dollars now, it is better than spending a million on these bottomless pits every year. Moreover, the old and the weak will become more and more useless as they are fed, and the free money will become more and more depleted.

"Tell me again, how will these people be accommodated after they have been laid off?" Xu Huizu asked again, "The land in the frontier fortress will be distributed to soldiers in the future. Is there so much land to accommodate these people who have been laid off? There are also private expansions by the vassal princes.

We have soldiers and horses, where should we send them?"

As he spoke, Xu Huizu's eyelids twitched fiercely, "Xin Tongzheng, do you know that these people are soldiers! Even if they are old men, even if they are a mob, they are soldiers when they pick up a sword. Even if they are given land, they will not

Feel free to be a farmer!"

"What should we do? What do you ask the emperor to do? If we can't place them properly, there will be even greater trouble. They are soldiers, and they can kill people when they pick up a sword. What do you ask the emperor to do with us warriors?"

"Everyone knows that people will die in war, and the emperor does not want to fight, and I, Xu Huizu, do not want to be the one who uses weapons to cause the destruction of life."

"But in order to have more people and have a better life, fighting is the only way out, right?"

"As you said, the people need a way to survive. Don't these people who have been soldiers for half their lives not need a way to survive? Who can guarantee that they will not cause chaos and will be good citizens?"
