Chapter 12: Reward
"What? You said that the Donghu tribe had secretly sent an envoy over to the Huhu tribe. Would you like to reach an agreement with us for further mutual trade? ”
Ji Kang was in the study, looking at the old manager Ji Maodao in surprise.
"Childe, yes."
The boss Ji Mao looked at Ji Kang's surprised appearance with a smile, and he felt very refreshed in his heart. It's rare to surprise Childe now!
Ji Kang opened his calves and turned around the study twice.
"Trade has existed, and the Donghu royal court does not prohibit it. This is a secret agreement signed in the name of trade and to reach an agreement with us to support each other. ”
"What Gongzi said is true, this is exactly what the Yu Hu tribe means."
Walked to the wall with the topographic map of the surrounding areas of Liaodi, looked at the location of Du Yuhu, and did not contact Liaodi. The map is accompanied by detailed information about the tribe's population, the number of troops, and more.
This tribe is much larger than the Tubuda tribe, with more than a dozen subordinate small tribes, and it is also the top three tribe among all the tribes in Donghu.
Ji Kang smiled: "Uncle Ji, it seems that this Donghu tribe has its own ideas!" On behalf of my Liaodi, you and Su Qing will secretly contact this envoy to negotiate an agreement on cooperation between the two sides.
This matter only needs to be known to Jun Xiangjuxin, and no one else needs to be informed. After all, this kind of thing is a good thing for us in Liaodi. ”
"No".
The old manager Ji Mao replied. Then he took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Kang: "Childe, this is the discussion of the Yan Kingdom court on my Liaodi, this time to send troops to recruit the Tuobda tribe. ”
"Oh". Ji Kang took the fold and read it carefully.
sighed to Ji Mao: "Since our Yan State attacked Zhao State last year, it seems that the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated extremely, and it is impossible to return to the previous era of harmonious and tacit understanding. At present, the military pressure of the Zhao State on our Yan State is constantly increasing, this is the fate of the Qin State, and I have to say that Fan Sui's plan is indeed vicious! ”
Thinking of what the country where he was in his previous life, he said with emotion: "When your strength is not as good as the other party, you must "keep your head up" and constantly enhance the strength of your country, and you must not be emotional. In this way, it is the best policy! ”
Suddenly, I was shocked, and an ancient text "Touching the Dragon and Saying the Empress Dowager Zhao" that I learned in the middle school Chinese textbook in my previous life flashed in my mind. According to Touchlong, in his previous life, his mother should have been the queen of Yan Kingdom.
I remembered what my mother had said to me when she was in Anshan, and I understood. knew that he could come to this world, because his mother in this world did not marry King Wucheng, but married his father, so he had himself.
History has quietly changed slightly after the mother married the father. And the biggest variable in this is yourself.
Then, he turned around and stood quietly in front of the map, his eyes firmly fixed on the map, Donghu, Goguryeo, Kei, Samhan and other regions in the east of Liaodi.
In the eighth year of King Wucheng, on the first day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the Qinzheng Palace of the Prince's Mansion of Liaodi.
Today is the day of the Liaodi Dynasty, and it is also the day to reward the Tubuda tribe and meritorious personnel for this expedition.
The soldiers had all returned to Liaodi ten days earlier, and the general Rong Worm had returned two days late because he had inspected more than ten beacon towers that had just been built in the Tupuda area.
The civil and military officials of Liaodi came to the Qinzheng Hall before the time came. Especially those who know that they are going to be rewarded, they are even more jubilant.
As soon as Chen arrived, Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang sat in the hall, and the officials under the steps of the palace were silent.
Ji Kang said to the officials with a smile on it: "Everyone's time is precious, I won't delay everyone's time, let alone delay the time of the reward personnel this time, let's start!" ”
All the officials at the bottom of the palace burst into laughter.
Ji Kang's little face immediately became solemn: "Come on, play music, and reward." ”
Chimes and many musical instruments sounded in the hall, and the sound was elegant.
Liao Shan, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, took the jade book of the reward from the hand of the inner attendant, mustered up all his strength, and read aloud:
"General Feng is honored as a first-class viscount, with a bounty of five hundred and a reward of five hundred acres of land;
Wang Zhi, the deputy general of the title, was a third-class viscount, with a bounty of 400 and 400 acres of land;
Bo Wang, the military and horse governor of Liaodong County, was a third-class baron, with a bounty of 300 and 300 acres of land;
Wang Shi, the military and horse governor of Liaoxi County, was a third-class baron, with a bounty of 300 and 300 acres of land;
appointed Liu Sheng, a cavalry captain, as a general, with a bounty of 100 acres and a reward of 100 acres of land;
appointed Zuo Zong, a cavalry captain, as a general, with a bounty of 100 acres and 100 acres of land;
appointed cavalry captain Rong Yan as the general, with a reward of 100 acres and 100 acres of land;
appoint infantry captain Tian Dali as the general, with a bounty of 100 acres and 100 acres of land;
……
All soldiers who participated in the battle and killed one enemy were rewarded with five hundred copper coins and two acres of land;
Whoever kills two enemies shall be appointed as a chief, rewarded with one gold, and rewarded five acres of land;
Whoever kills three enemies shall be appointed as a chief, rewarded with three golds, and rewarded ten acres of land;
Those who kill five enemies shall be appointed as the commander of the tun, and a reward of ten gold and twenty acres of land shall be rewarded;
Those who kill 10 or more enemies will be appointed as 100 generals, rewarded with 20 gold, and rewarded with 30 acres of land.
All the soldiers participating in the war will be rewarded with 200 copper dollars;
All dead and wounded soldiers shall be executed in accordance with the "Liaodi Death and Disability Pension Order", and the dead soldiers will be rewarded with ten gold each, and the disabled soldiers will be rewarded with three gold each, and the above rewards shall be issued to their relatives and themselves. Order. ”
The officials bowed down and said in unison, "Obey." ”
The news reached the barracks, and there was jubilation in the barracks. Needless to say, the soldiers who have been promoted are excited. The soldiers who did not kill the enemy clenched their fists, hoping that next time they would have the opportunity to kill the enemy, bring glory to themselves, and bring their families wealth and land rewards.
Even the relatives of the dead and disabled soldiers felt comforted. According to the provisions of the "Liaodi Death and Disability Pension Order", in addition to enjoying the sacrifice of the Martyrs' Shrine, the deceased soldiers will be rewarded with fields ranging from 100 mu to 10 mu according to their ranks, and their children under the age of 16, regardless of gender, will go to Xiangping College to study, and the Liaodi government will be responsible for all expenses. For disabled soldiers, the appreciation of land is different from the level of the disabled according to the official rank, and the appreciation of land ranges from 50 to 5 acres, and their children are treated the same as those of the deceased soldiers.
At this time, according to the provisions of the "Zhou Li", Yan Guo was divided into five titles: "king, marquis, uncle, son, and man". Ji Kang is only a marquis, and the only ones who can be rewarded in his own mining can only be the three titles of "Uncle, Son, and Male". At this time, Ji Kang didn't want to make too many changes to this system. Only a few tweaks have been made to divide each title into three tiers.
In order to avoid the situation of titles flying all over the sky in the future, after full discussion with Ju Xin, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, Rong Yin, etc. It is clearly stipulated that civil officials who are not elders shall not be awarded knighthoods; If a military general is not a general, he shall not be awarded a knighthood. It also stipulates that civil officials will be given a reward title after five years of assessment, and military generals will be given a reward title for their military merits.
In order to stimulate the development of industry and commerce, and to avoid future land annexation, the maximum cumulative number of acres of land to be rewarded shall not exceed 2,000 mu, and the number of acres of land owned by the gentry shall not exceed 2,000 mu. In addition, it is necessary to pay grain and taxes to the government, which is a permanent rule.
In this day and age, it's impossible to limit people's family values. But this law is to tell you that the maximum amount of land in your family can only be 2,000 acres, and if you want your family to continue to develop and grow, you can only divide the family or invest more of your family wealth in industry and commerce.
Thinking of the Taizu of the country where he lived in his previous life, what efforts he made to break the concept of people's families! He is not as great as his old man, so he can only be slightly limited and adjusted.
By the end of the year, what Ji Kang didn't expect was that the growth rate of the entire Liaodi population and acres of land far exceeded his expectations and imagination. The number of registered people in the two counties of Liaodi has reached more than 1.43 million, the per capita number of acres of land has exceeded 10 mu, and the grain yield per mu has been further increased, approaching about 400 catties per mu.
The so-called "savages" of the two counties of Liaodi are basically included in the jurisdiction of the Liaodi government. Of course, there must still be in extremely remote mountainous areas and deep mountains and old forests, but this can only be increased in the future.
Not only are the ordinary people in the surrounding vicinity proud to have naturalized in Liaodi, but the displaced people from the entire surrounding countries and other counties and counties in Yan have also brought their families to Liaodi. Even many wealthy businessmen have moved to Liaodi.
Industries such as textiles, iron and steel, animal husbandry, coal, and aquaculture have developed more rapidly, especially the three industries of textiles, animal husbandry, and aquaculture. At present, all counties and counties in Liaodi have basically established their own government-run textile factories, animal husbandry factories, and breeding factories, and they have gradually spread to the people.
Especially the steel industry that Ji Kang paid attention to, after nearly two years of efforts, with the expansion of scale and the improvement of technology, now the annual steel output of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant has reached 110,000 tons. In this era, it can be said that the needs of Liaodi are fully met.
After the final statistics at the end of the year came out, looking at the excited expressions of Ju Xin, Zou Yan, and Lu Zhonglian present, Ji Kang's little face was also full of smiles.
