    This is another exciting news. It gives the people in the capital who have nothing to do on weekdays a lot more to talk about. It also gives the newly excited civil servants another slap in the face!

    Why are the defeats one after another when civilian officials are in charge of the army, but when military generals are in charge of the army, successes are reported one after another?

    This is a very profound question, at least for most people, but it is also a very simple question. For Zhu Youxiao, this question couldn't be simpler!

    "Everything in the world is for profit, and everything is for profit. This is a wise saying left by our ancestors. Unfortunately, it has been forgotten by many people. As a result, everyone talks about loyalty on the surface and fame and fortune in private. But like this  On the surface, things are exaggerated and useless, but behind the scenes, things are getting darker and darker, so much so that people all over the world have learned to talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but only think about men stealing and women being prostitutes!"

    "So I want to do the opposite, put fame and wealth on the surface, let the border soldiers earn fame and fortune with great fanfare, and try my best to ensure that everyone can get generous rewards. With this most direct temptation  , even sheep can turn into tigers, so you don¡¯t have to think about whether civil servants are good or not, just remember that the best thing in the world is money!"

    This is what Zhu Youxiao said to the cabinet and several ministers of the Military Aircraft Department. Although these people are well-read poetry and literature, they feel very uncomfortable with Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, talking so openly about the alluring things of fame and wealth.  !

    But they also had to admit that Zhu Youxiao was right. It was Zhu Youxiao who changed the way the interests of the frontier army were distributed, which brought huge benefits to ordinary soldiers, and changed the face of the frontier army in a short period of time.  Two great victories!

    Sun Chengzong also put forward his own views on this. He said bluntly in the memorial: "The Holy Spirit used big profits to induce the soldiers to dare to fight. Although it seems that it can improve the combat effectiveness of the army, in the long run the soldiers will only fight for money. If  When there is no money left, or when life is about to be lost, what should a soldier do if he refuses to fight if there is no gain, but fights cowardly at the expense of his life?"

    Sun Chengzong's worries made Zhu Youxiao feel that this man in his fifties was really talented, otherwise he would not have pointedly pointed out that an army that only fights for profit cannot become a real army.  The invincible master!

    In this regard, Zhu Youxiao did not explain much, but asked Sun Chengzong to take Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou to Huangzhuang and the Guards Infantry Camp, telling them that the answer lies in these two places!

    With doubts, Sun Chengzong and the others first went to the imperial village closest to the capital. When they entered the imperial village, they saw orderly buildings and well-fed people!

    The newest and most beautiful building in the entire Huangzhuang is a newly built school. Although it is only a two-entry courtyard, it is made of blue bricks, gray tiles, and white walls, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at it!

    There is a couplet hanging at the door of the school!

    The first couplet is: Study literature and practice martial arts to protect the country!

    The second line is!  Repay the emperor's favor with loyalty and courage!

    There were more than 20 children studying in the school. These children were all between seven and twelve years old. What surprised Sun Chengzong and the others most was that there were boys and girls among these children, and they all learned basically the same things.  , all of them are the Four Books and Five Classics, bowing, horse riding, and shooting!

    Even the girls wearing floral jackets read and write in the morning, and practice boxing, kicking, swords, guns, and bows and arrows in the afternoon. However, these children are still young, so the swords and guns they use are all wooden, and the bows are the lightest.  Soft bow!

    Although those swords, guns and soft bows have no power at all, a group of children practice with great enthusiasm. Every time they finish a set of boxing, practice a round of swords and guns, and finish shooting a round of bows and arrows, the instructor will shout:  For the glory of His Majesty!

    The group of children also followed up and shouted in a coquettish voice. Although they were not very impressive, their energy made people¡¯s blood boil!

    As for the Guards Infantry Station, let alone that, 50,000 children from poor families who receive the highest salary, can eat every day, and can eat stew for two days, are training hard every day!

    Not only do they have to practice, but they also have to read and write. Even if they are exhausted every day, they have to wash up after dinner and learn to read under the leadership of the military police. And they can read and write the first sentence.  The words are just that: For the glory of His Majesty!

    Although the training of the Guards infantry is extremely arduous and can even be said to be harsh, none of these recruits are willing to leave here. What they fear most is not the official¡¯s scolding or the military police¡¯s stick, but a kind of weapon called  elimination system.

    This system is very simple. It is based on corps and is elected every ten days.Everyone is the worst person in the army. Of course, there are standards for being the worst. Points will be deducted for poor literacy, poor drills, and poor housekeeping. The person with the most points deducted will naturally be the worst person in the army.  !

    These people will be reorganized and receive more rigorous training. If they can pass the next ten days of training, they can return to the original team. If they fail to pass the training for three consecutive days, they will be eliminated directly.  , give him a month¡¯s pay, and then drive him out of the military camp!

    For a place like this that gives five taels of silver a month, plenty of food and drink, and meat, those young and strong men who have been tortured by poverty for a long time and are almost numb would rather die than leave, so everyone grits his teeth and does his best.  Well, for fear of being kicked out!

    After walking through these two places, Sun Chengzong and the other three were speechless. They showed kindness to others and punished them with force!

    This is the combination of kindness and power!

    This is the Huanghuang Kingly Way!

    After the three men turned around, Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Chengzong: "Sir, what do you think of Huangzhuang and the Guards?"

    Sun Chengzong bowed in admiration and said: "The people in the Imperial Village are rich and grateful for the emperor's favor. The officers and soldiers of the Guards are in good order and the military discipline is strict. This shows your Majesty's brilliance. But according to my experience, whether it is the Imperial Village or the Guards, it is absolutely expensive."  Quite a few, Your Majesty should make plans in advance!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded. He praised Sun Chengzong's ability very much. After just looking around, he saw the biggest drawback of Huangzhuang and the Guards, which was that it cost money. It was really expensive!

    The tenants in Huangzhuang do not have to pay taxes or perform corvee labor. All the seeds and cattle are produced by Huangzhuang, and the taxes are also borne by Huangzhuang. It can be said that the tenants in Huangzhuang are the best living in the Ming Dynasty.  of the people!

    This does not include the children in Huangzhuang. Not only can they go to school for free, but the food and clothing are also provided by Huangzhuang. This saves the people in Huangzhuang a lot of money and also makes them willing to let their children go to school.  The root cause!

    However, Sun Chengzong and the others did not know that the rules in the imperial village were extremely strict. If anyone dared to be lazy, slippery, or commit crimes, the whole family would be driven away. Anyway, in this paradise-like place, how many people are waiting to come in?  If you don¡¯t come, it¡¯s impossible to allow second-rate people to exist!

    As for the expenses of the Guards, not to mention, it is a bottomless pit, costing five to six hundred thousand taels of silver every month. This does not include rewards, pensions, ordnance and equipment. If all are included,  Even Zhu Youxiao feels a headache when he goes to school!

    In order to get enough money, Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to let Li Jinzhong go to the south. His trip was a complete trip to make a fortune, but the person who wanted to make a fortune was not Eunuch Li, but Zhu Youxiao!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
