Two years later, at the beginning of the new year, the Ministry of Military Affairs, Liaoyang Houlu Xiangsheng put forward that in order to save military expenditure and reduce the financial pressure of the imperial court, it is recommended to abolish some troops, and implement the elite strategy to maintain the overall combat effectiveness.

This is actually Zhang Bin and Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cixuan discussed, but through Lu Xiangsheng's mouth to say it, naturally will not encounter any resistance, soon through, a huge disarmament began.

First, Shanxi Army, Shaanxi Army, Hu Guang Army, Henan Army canceled the number, more than 130,000 soldiers all exploratory land, the original enough arable land of the Tuen Wei issued a certain severance fee directly home, the original nor or insufficient arable land of the generals in the nine-sided town allocation of sufficient arable land, as for the original nine-sided town of civilians, most of the people were moved to the northwestern five provinces near the region.

With the popularity of large-scale water trucks, more and more farmland can cultivate cash crops in the northwest disaster areas, and it is completely no problem to move into more than 100,000 households.

Then the Liaodong Army and the East River Army began to select elites to merge into the new Liaodong Army, and the 60,000 horses that were abolished were all deployed to the Liaohe truss and other areas between Liaodong and Chahar Prairie and Korqin Prairie.

These places were originally due to the dense river, inconvenient transportation, coupled with too many marshes, not suitable for farming, so it has been deserted there, no cultivation, but this time is not the same, due to the drought in recent years, the swamp is almost steamed, just to make arable land.

And here the river is dense, the water is abundant, basically not affected by the drought, it is the good field, Zhang Bin had long wanted to organize people to cultivate the wasteland here, but before the problems of the Mongolian provinces have not been solved, if the station will become the front of the battlefield, here planting land is equal to the Mongolian Ministry to send food, so this concept has not been implemented.

Now the Mengyuan Chahar Ministry has been fully under control, the Korqin Ministry is also gradually under control, where the cantonment is not dangerous, so Zhang Bin arranged the abolition of the 60,000 Liaodong Army and the Dongjiang Army in this Tuntian.

In this way, Liaodonghangdu is equal to more than a dozen more guards, Da Mingtun Guard again expanded, the internal and external guards are close to 500 huge, the number of Tuen Guard has nearly three million households!

Just when the disarmament of Daming was in full swing, Zhang Bin quietly left Beijing with a few teams of garriver and a few familiar officials, and walked around the state capital in the north, of course, he was not bored out of the spring tour, but came out to observe the public sentiment.

He wanted to see how the people were doing, and what they needed urgently, because Daming's tax rate last year reached an unprecedented more than 31 million, except for the military budget and official wages, there are nearly 13 million two, these money, Zhang Bin's meaning, all spent, used to improve people's livelihood.

As for the accumulation of the treasury, there is no hurry, there is time in the future, first let the people live in peace and prosperity, after entering the Taiping world, the annual tax will increase, and then the money will be saved faster.

The first stop of his tour was Tongzhou, accompanied by the household department of Cao Jie and the original Tongzhou Xufuyuan, but this time, the first Yuan Lang Wenzhen Meng replaced the new minister right-hand waiter Chen Zilong, which is his successor, and later replaced him as the first assistant of the cabinet, supplemented by Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cihui.

A group of people came to the familiar Zhangjiawan, the old man has not yet entered the village, and the old man has organized a large number of villagers to welcome.

Zhang Bin just hit the horse to the village, Zhang Laohan recognized, he excitedly pulled the reins of Zhang Bin's mount, helped Zhang Bin stop the ride, and then trembling: "Master, it is really you, the old man thought, can bring so many people to see our designation is you."

Zhang Bin smiled and turned over and got off the horse, pointing to Xu Fuyuan behind: “Didn’t Mr. Xu come here too?”

Zhang Laohan heard the words and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhizhou, you have no news when you enter Beijing, and the villagers in our ten miles and eight villages have been talking about you, this time you can come to see us."

Xu Fu quickly turned over and got off the horse, and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m busy with the Beijing gate, I really can’t get out of it.”It is you, old Zhang, the Ministry of the call-up many times, please go to the county, how do you repeatedly refuse?"

The old man said, embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhizhou, there are more and more people in this village, the more the land is divided, the little people are afraid to delay things, so they dare not go away, I am really sorry, I'm sorry."

Zhang Bin patted him on the shoulder and praised: "In fact, everywhere is the same, to the people to do things, you are not tempted by high officials, stick to your heart, good."

The old man smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of the big master's joke, this knows that the county is indeed a high official, but this bitch is not necessarily more than the little man in this place to eat, and the little man also has such a little selfishness."

Zhang Bin heard the words, patting his back and motioning him to lead the crowd into the village, while asking, “Oh, how much money can you earn in the field this year?”

Zhang Laohan did not hesitate to say: "Don't hide from Master Tai, these more than 50 acres of land to remove the grain and then make some potatoes and leaves or vegetables, a year down is not to eat and drink, can earn almost one hundred and two of the gross profit."

Zhang Bin heard the words and was surprised: "Can every household earn so much, how much money can you save in a year to save your daily expenses?"

Zhang Laohan is somewhat embarrassed: "This, not every family can earn so much, the little family family Ding, so much, so many people in the family naturally do not have so many places, and most of them are busy, can not do other things, a year down to mix food and clothing is no problem, the balance, I am afraid there is not much, as for the little man, a year down three or forty-two can survive."

Zhang Bin couldn't help but smile: "Well, the court can only ensure that everyone has enough land to cultivate, as for whether you can make full use of it, it depends on you, you have done very well, you can retain thirty or forty-two a year, and become a big rich person in a few years."

Zhang Laohan even shook his head, "What, this house has been rebuilt a little, and the boss has done the marriage, and almost the money has been spent."

At this time, the people just came to Zhang Laohan's courtyard, Zhang Bin looked up, good guy, the original a brick house has become a circle of brick houses, the room is much more, looks more comfortable.

He couldn't help but walk into the new house and take a closer look, and this guy was indeed much better than the previous earth-brick house.

However, when he entered the village, he did not see several such brick houses, most of them are still earth brick houses, if you can help the people to change the earth brick house and even thatched house all into brick houses.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Old Zhang, how much money you spend on this house, say more details."

The old head broke his fingertips and said, "This bought coal and spent more than two, asked people to make bricks and tiles spent more than two, asked people to burn bricks and tiles spent more than two, asked people to build a house to buy more than five or two, together spent 11 or two."

Zhang Bin heard the words, can not help but nod, he already has a certain plan in his heart, in Zhang Laohan's family around, and went to a few difficult households to carefully look at the home, he ended the inspection in advance with everyone back to Beijing.

Now it seems that the people most need to improve is the housing, because the lack of food basically no longer exists, the tattered and tattered wear is rarely seen, food, clothing and housing, only this house is mostly the same, then start from the house!

Within a few days, the court will carry out the provinces of Wenda Ming, and ordered the local states and counties to count the housing conditions of each family, but all the huts and old earth brick houses were reported, and the court would allocate coal to all localities according to the degree of difficulty of each family, and the local states and counties organized their own labor to centrally rebuild the housing, and all the laborers offset the service.

Good guy, the previous riots were to build roads and bridges for the imperial court to build walls, and even to officials at all levels and the royal family to repair the palace, now it is good, it has become a house for the people to repair their own houses, and the court also provides free coal, and the people everywhere are happy and happy.

They are really on the table, the court not only let everyone have enough food and clothing, even the house to help everyone build!
