Chapter 160: Meet the Officers and Soldiers

What Liu Xian said to Wen Shen and Wang Bao is actually quite straightforward.

When they heard this, they all nodded in unison.

They feel that what Liu Xian said is the current status quo of some big men. The imperial court sells and buys official positions and nobles, which is tantamount to the elimination of some truly ambitious and talented people of insight, and it is also equivalent to the possibility of appointing meritocracy in the imperial court.

As a result, the local government is basically in the hands of those who have money. Because only they have the money to buy official positions. And the rich are generally landlords and tyrants, who are from big families.

Wen Shen said worriedly: "In this way, wouldn't our Han be forever peaceful?" Even if the Yellow Turban Army is exterminated by our imperial court this time, will other people start a riot? ”

Liu Xian shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "In theory, this is indeed the case. In fact, it is also foreseeable that although most of the Yellow Turban Army has been defeated, there are still many horses, and it is not so easy for the officers and soldiers of the court to completely exterminate them. In the next few years, there will be people like our Yang County all over the world, who will not survive anymore and will follow the example of the Yellow Turban Army to launch a riot. Anyway, one day our Han Dynasty did not really achieve political clarity from top to bottom, did not achieve the real political power attributed to the imperial family, and the emperor was a holy king, then our Han Dynasty must be in constant war. So, do you all understand? ”

"Well, what Liu Xian's little brother means is to let us continue to keep the establishment of the two county captains in Yangshi County, so that we can have four hundred officers and soldiers? A county town, with 400 officers and soldiers, can indeed better protect the county seat, and indeed can better deter ordinary thieves, so that they dare not provoke our Yang County. Wen Shen nodded thoughtfully.

"That's what it means, in such a world, our military horses are not afraid of many. Only when we have strong enough soldiers and horses can we better protect the places under our rule. Do you think that's the case? Liu Xian clapped his hands and said.

Originally, Liu Xian wanted to continue to tell them that in the future, it would not only be things like the Yellow Turban Riots. It is a time when the princes rise together and fight against each other, and if there is not enough strength at hand, then they can only be destroyed by other princes, or they will be attached to one prince to survive.

This Jizhou, for a long time, will become a place of conquest, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Yang's County to avoid being affected by the scourge of war again.

Not to mention far, let's just say that the Yellow Turban Army was not completely wiped out by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and Zhang Yan of Montenegro rose and had millions of soldiers. And Yangshi County is not far from Montenegro, but it is only hundreds of miles, and it may be attacked at any time.

Naturally, there is nothing in Yangshi County now that can attract others to attack, but, what about in the future? What if Liu Xian used some of his later knowledge methods to develop Yang's County? What about developing Yangshi County into a well-known and wealthy city? At that time, it was indispensable for the tree to attract the wind.

In addition, not to mention the dispute between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan. When the time comes, these places may become war-torn places again.

Now, there is no need for Liu Xian to tell them too much. Just let them have a sense of crisis.

"Now I just don't know that the government above has not allowed our Yang County to have two county lieutenants and 400 officers and soldiers. In addition, Wen is worried that if we keep 400 officers and soldiers, when the time comes, maybe half of the officers and soldiers will be transferred away, so ......" Wen Shen seemed to think of a situation, and said to Liu Xian: "There is a shortage of people now, and the local government is also short of soldiers, if we still have so many officers and soldiers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to avoid the fate of being transferred." ”

"That's ......" Liu Xian was reminded by Wen Shen, he didn't think of such a possibility at this time. No, this is not a possibility, if it is true that 400 officers and soldiers are still retained, it is certain that some officers and soldiers will be transferred.

This is not good, Liu Xian can't let his own people be transferred by the government to use. In case it is transferred to war, then who is responsible for the death? And who will return their own soldiers and horses?

"Well, since that's the case, then let them join my Liu Mansion caravan. Anyway, my Liu Mansion caravan is not afraid of many people. In case something happens to our Yang County, then we will at least have people on our hands. Liu Xian stated his purpose.

"Okay, if your Liu Mansion caravan can afford to support so many people, then you can recruit it. However, I think you still don't have too many illusions, they are all people close to Yang Jie, and they may not be willing to join your Liu Mansion caravan. In addition, those people are not easy to manage, and when something happens, don't blame Brother Wang for not reminding you. Wang Bao said at this time.

"Heh, it's okay, since I dare to accept them, then naturally there is a way to cure them. Well, then, I'll go and meet those officers and soldiers now. ”

"It's okay, it's okay now, let's go together." Wen Shen said.

This barracks in the city is naturally not a field barracks outside the city.

It can be seen as a large mansion. It is a military camp specially built by the government in the past, and the county lieutenant who commands the officers and soldiers in peacetime will live here.

There is a large school field in the barracks, which is used for training soldiers in peacetime, and then it is surrounded by the camp accommodation of officers and soldiers, which are connected to each other. In every big house, there lived a person.

In order to facilitate the control of the 100 officers and soldiers, Wang Bao specially settled the 100 officers and soldiers in a corner of the barracks. It is an independent small courtyard, and the inside is relatively large, which can accommodate two hundred people.

Now these 100 officers and soldiers, it can be said that the dragons are leaderless, Suo Qi is dead, Suo Ji took a few cronies to send Suo Qi's body back to Suo's house to arrange the future, and he is not here.

Among the 100 officers and soldiers now, the one who can still speak is a Dubo of the former official government.

When Liu Xian came in, he looked outside the courtyard and saw the officers and soldiers arranged by Wang Bao staring, so he couldn't help but nodded.

didn't think much about it, and went directly into the courtyard with Wang Bao and Wen Shen.

In the barracks of this courtyard, torches were lit, and there was not a sound of shouting.

Liu Xian walked over, but a group of officers and soldiers were playing dice together, probably gambling money.

In addition, there were many officers and soldiers who were eager to watch.

In this barracks, they can't go out casually, and if they want to go out, they must report to Wang Bao. So they were fine, so they played with this.

"Wenshen County Cheng and Wang Bao County Lieutenant are here!"

At this time, an officer and soldier accidentally saw Liu Xian and the others, recognized Wen Shen and Wang Bao, and hurriedly shouted.

At this shout, these officers and soldiers immediately scattered, and one by one they wanted to flee from here and back to their own barracks.

It is strictly forbidden to gamble in the army, and they have violated military regulations by doing so.
