Fang Xing is sick!

After the imperial doctor went to Fang's house, and after Jin Zhong sent people to deliver the medicinal materials, it became a topic that people talked about in Beiping.

"I heard that Xing and Bo are bewitched, and the imperial doctor is useless at all."

"He's a murderer! Think about it, how many of those butchers have a good death from the beginning?"

"Retribution! After several reincarnations, the traitor has finally received retribution, Xiao Er, bring some wine!"

A few literati talked about it happily in the tavern, wishing they could look up to the sky and scream.

After Zhu Gaosui heard the news, he was excited at first, and then Xie Chen brought the news.

"Your Highness, Xing Hebo and the King of Han drank and went swimming in the lake, and fell into the water drunk."

Zhu Gaosui seemed to be poured down from the top of his head by a basin of cold water, and said expressionlessly: "Then I hope he will never get sick again."

But both he and Xie Chen knew that such a problem of catching cold would not kill him before waking up.

Fang Xing also believed that he couldn't be killed, so he was so calm that when there was only Muhua in the room, he beckoned Tudou and Ping An to come in.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when there is no cough, it is reasonable to hurry up and make out with your child.

What's it like to have two kids tossing around on you?

Not a good taste!

Potato sat on his belly and asked why he fell into the water, was it fun in the lake, did he catch any big fish and so on.

And Ping An was more interested in the pillow, sitting beside Fang Xing, his face flushed, and he pulled the pillow under Fang Xing's head vigorously.

"father!"

Ping An wouldn't be coquettish like Tudou, but stared at Fang Xing with his swarthy eyes, and called Dad.

When Zhang Shuhui came in again, she saw Fang Xing lying flat on the bed, Tudou sitting on his belly, yelling all over his mouth.

And Ping An should be calmer, just put the pillow under his feet, and jumped vigorously while holding the bed frame with his hands.

Zhang Shuhui couldn't help but smirk when she saw Fang Xing's staring eyes with a look of lovelessness.

"Husband, the medicine is here."

Zhang Shuhui called Xiaobai to take the two bear children away, and then a bowl of black soup was delivered to Fang Xing's mouth.

"father!"

Fang Xing felt a little dizzy, and trembled a little when he heard the voice, he couldn't help but glance at Tudou and Pingan who were blocked at the door, his heart trembled, and he blurted out: "Fortunately, my husband is not short!"

Zhang Shuhui said angrily: "What is your husband thinking? You have a majestic appearance, and the jade tree is facing the wind. Who dares to say that you are short?"

Xiaobai also said outside the door: "Master, you are tall enough, if you are taller, the door of our house will have to be changed."

Fang Xing was so feverish that he thought of the Wu University.

——Dalang, come, drink this medicine!

After drinking the medicine, Fang Xing fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted until night, and Fang Xing woke up feeling bored in every possible way, so he started to think wildly, and kept thinking about the bright sky.

And Jin Zhong also stayed up all night, and then went to Zhu Di with the memorial.

"The children of generals are the main ones,

Taking Wu Xun as the professor, offering wine as the fourth grade..."

After Zhu Di finished reading the memorial, he said noncommittally: "Who among those martial arts masters knows how to fight with firearms? Also, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of talents, so we can't neglect them. Besides the children of generals, we should also recruit students."

Jin Zhong stole a glance at Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, those people... military households!"

Zhu Di was also very sad. The existence of military household registration made joining the army a daunting way, and there were many fugitives.

But if the military registration is abolished, the consequences will be unimaginable.

...

"Abolished military registration, what should I do if no one joins the army?"

Zhu Zhanji came to visit and chatted about it casually. Fang Xing is not optimistic about this, otherwise he would not have drank with Zhu Gaoxu in depression yesterday.

Zhu Zhanji thought of the way he came to Beijing from Jinling, and the inspection along the way shocked him.

"A fugitive, no one wants to join the army. If it weren't for being tied up with a military status, it would be considered pretty good for a Ming sergeant to have three grades left."

Fang Xing leaned on the bed, with caramel in his mouth - this was secretly given by Xiao Bai, in case he just drank the medicine and his mouth would be bitter.

"It's best for you to realize this, but you have to think about the underlying reasons, otherwise, even if the Ming army is equipped with muskets and cannons, sooner or later they will be killed by foreign sabers. The reason is you You should know, corruption! Once the army is corrupt, even the best weapons are just a burden!"

Fang Xing spoke a little weakly, he thought for a while, and continued to analyze: "No matter how good a weapon is, once the army is corrupted, do you believe that the enemy army will get the same thing immediately? So we must abolish the helpless move of military households. Adopt the recruitment system, even if the recruitment system fails, you can also adopt the method of returning home after joining the army for a period of time, otherwise the deserters will never stop."

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was faced with fugitive soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang’s solution was to use military household registration to tie the children and grandchildren of those soldiers to the Ming army. He probably felt that there would be no worries.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "It's very difficult. Canceling military households will inevitably increase military expenses, and how will the sergeants make a living after returning home? This is a big problem. If it is not solved well, the common people will also try their best to avoid military service."

This is the problem of retiring from the army. At this time, Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural society. If the soldiers retire and return home, they are not as good as those farmers who have been farming all the time. Who wants to be a soldier?

Fang Xing and Zhu Zhanji looked at each other, smiled wryly and said, "But do you think the problem is still in the economy?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "If it is easy to find a living, plus the military salary you get from the army, and the whole family lives well, that is a long-term solution."

There are currently two types of military households in Ming Dynasty, one is farming and the other is training. In fact, they just find a group of people to support the army.

Zhu Zhanji had a headache and felt that there was almost no solution to this problem.

Seeing his frown, Fang Xing smiled lightly and said, "Da Ming conquered North Korea and Japan, as well as the Nuer Gandusi. Don't you want people for so many territories?"

Zhu Zhanji patted excitedly, but didn't want to pat on Fang Xing's leg.

"Ouch!"

Zhu Zhanji got up and said: "Brother Dehua is so good at giving birth, my little brother will enter the palace now."

Fang Xing grinned, rubbed his legs and said, "You're so excited! Let's ask Jin Zhong first, and then Duke Yingying. As for Meng Ying, you'd better not ask. It's not easy to express your opinion from his standpoint."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and ran away, pinching Ping An's face in the yard.

Pingan frowned and watched Zhu Zhanji go away. Tudou felt that his brother was being bullied, so he shouted: "Don't bully my brother!"

Zhu Zhanji's footsteps faltered, and then he sped up a little.

Bullying the milk baby, if it spreads out, it will be embarrassing.

Fang Xing heard Tuduo's shouts from the house, so he vented his anger for his son and shouted: "Be careful of the fire in your backyard!"

...

Zhu Zhanji and Jin Zhong discussed the possibility of abolishing the military household system, but Jin Zhong said very cautiously that they must cooperate with the household department to discuss matters.

"Without the support of the household department, this matter cannot be done."

Jin Zhong worried about this matter a lot, and said familiarly: "There are so many sergeants in the Ming Dynasty, some of them can stay in the guard for a lifetime, but if the military households are cancelled, at least 60% to 70% of the sergeants will go home. Then every Every time a sergeant is recruited is an expense, every time a group of sergeants is discharged is also an expense."

"And Your Highness, this expense is long-term, even every year. Maybe Daming can support it? All these have to be accounted for by the Ministry of Household Affairs."

If the military household system is abolished, then no one will farm the land and provide expenses for the army.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the military household farming system. The huge Ming army did not even need military expenses from the household department and was self-sufficient. Zhu Yuanzhang was very proud.

But this kind of system quickly lost its vitality and rotted all the way to the present.
