As soon as Jia Ke announced this order, the people below were in an uproar. Most of these people live on empty salaries, and they get a few thousand taels of silver every year, except for the upper and lower points, which is just enough for their own life in the house.

These people don't want to eat empty salaries, but the money given by the imperial court, which really can't support people. Even these are the riches, and sometimes they can't be given. The silver salary from the household department will soon be reduced by 20%.

Jia Ke had known about this situation for a long time, so he said to them: "In the future, I will make up for the lack of the imperial court." As for the problem of your dislike of the lack of money, I will think of a way for you, I have a servant in the house, and I have gained a lot from engaging in border trade transactions. You take out the money and invest it in his trading company, and you must ensure that you have an income of a few thousand taels a year. Isn't it better than eating empty wages? ”

Jia Ke is giving a sweet date with a stick, not only to make them up for the number willingly, but also to tie them up with himself. This is also a means for Jia Ke to buy people's hearts.

The people below discussed it one after another, some felt that this was also a way out of the way, and some thought that they would do what Jia Ke said when they went back. After all, the arm can't twist the thigh, what if the lecture is decided? If they go against Jia Ke's will, Jia Ke can find a reason to dispose of them in the name of deducting military salaries.

But there are still some people who are not convinced, feeling that Jia Ke has left them with one less way to make money, and they don't take Jia Ke's words to heart. You must know that this trick has been used for thousands of years, and I don't see any general who can manage it.

Eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers rarely happened in the early days of the dynasty. Because at that time, there were many disasters in the army, and if any general dared to do this, the soldiers below would have rebelled a long time ago.

In addition, the generals at the time of the founding of the country led the soldiers to plunder the enemy everywhere, and the wealth obtained was piled up.

But in the heyday of the dynasty, the world was peaceful, and the court was also dominated by civil officials. At this time, the generals were suppressed, and there was no way to get money. and was dazzled by the world of flowers in the prosperous era, and life began to be luxurious. Naturally, he felt that the silver was not enough, so in the end he could only find a way to eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers.

And Jia Ke naturally knows what the generals below are thinking, but he doesn't blame the people, and he has nothing to do with them, so he can't kill them all for the sake of strict military discipline.

But Jia Ke didn't stop them, but looked down with cold eyes, and then said: "Who of you wants to be **, who wants to be a monkey, but you have to think clearly." Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. ”

When the generals below heard this, they felt chills in their hearts. I remembered that the person sitting above was not a good stubble, and when he broke the Tatars outside Xuanfu Town, many of them had seen it with their own eyes. Originally, I was a little cautious, but now I can't help but beat the drum, in case this adult is really like he said, turning his face ruthlessly. What should you do then?

Jia Ke didn't care about their thoughts, and continued to say to them with a cold face: "My words count, and a month later, I will personally proofread all the ministries in the order, and if there is a shortage of soldiers in each department, the leading generals will deal with it according to military law and make a decision." ”

The commanders below saw what Jia Ke said categorically, and they knew that there was no room for maneuver, and it seemed that this time they had to make up for the source of troops no matter what, otherwise the newly appointed Jiedu envoy would really make an example of the monkey.

Jia Ke sat on the big seat and watched the generals below, one by one. So he struck while the iron was hot and said: "The number of people in the army has been replenished, but the salaries of all soldiers must also be paid in full, who will dare to drink the blood of soldiers again." So I raided his house and gave all his possessions to his soldiers. As for himself, it will be up to him to survive the dark arrows of his soldiers. ”

When the generals below heard this, they gritted their teeth against Jia Ke, and blocked all their ways to get money. But due to Jia Ke's power, these people could only swallow their anger and agree.

In fact, they still hope that Jia Ke will be the new official and take office three fires. After a while, Jia Ke relaxed, and they were able to return to the original rules.

Jia Ke was determined to rectify Xuanfu Town this time, and the main purpose was not to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, but to use this as a name to collect the military power of various departments. In order to expand your prestige among the soldiers, you divide and break the ties between the soldiers under these people's guilds.

At the same time, he tested the attitude of the commanders towards him, so as to suppress dissidents and gather henchmen to expand his power.

Now Jia Ke has an unusual obsession with power, and begins to unconsciously hope that all his subordinates are under his absolute control.

In the next few days, all the commanders were frantically poaching people and recruiting old troops, hoping to make up the number of their troops before the time came. Moreover, the conditions offered were very good, and the salaries of all the soldiers were paid in full.

Now it is rumored among the soldiers that this is a tough order from the new Jiedu Envoy Jia, and the generals did this. So Jia Ke's prestige among the soldiers has risen rapidly, and these soldiers under him are all rough people, they only know who is good to them, they will be loyal to whom, where to care about the righteousness of the court, since ancient times, isn't it the same thing when soldiers eat food?

Jia Ke's attitude towards the generals can be regarded as satisfied, at least they are not disobedient, at this time, regardless of whether they can complete the task in the end, attitude is the most important.

What's more, Jia Ke has learned the thoughts of the lowest soldiers. This made Jia Ke think that even if he offended the generals of Quanxuanfu Town, he would gain more than lose. As long as the low-level soldiers support them, these generals will not be able to make any tricks.

A month passed quickly, and Jia Ke announced that the day had come for the school departments, of course Jia Ke could not personally go to count them one by one, Jia Ke ordered Liu Yu to assign his own soldiers to each department to train soldiers, and by the way counted the number of people.

Jia Ke's method of sending his own soldiers to train troops below every time he arrives at a place, so that it is easier to grasp military power, has become a subconscious action of Jia Ke, but the effect is good, and after each completion, his control over military power has deepened.

This time, the training was completed smoothly, and officers from all departments with less than 100 households participated in the training. Jia Ke also took the time to hold a training class in Xuanfu Town, gathering all the 100 households who came to train for training and brainwashing.

After this three-month training and schooling, the commanders and envoys did not realize that they had lost a large part of their control over military power, especially since almost all the 100 households at the grassroots level were already the children and grandchildren of Jia Ke's disciples.

Although these people were still commanders, without Jia Ke's consent, they could no longer mobilize a single soldier except their own own soldiers. In the past few months, Jia Ke has controlled the military power of the entire Xuanfu Town in this bottom-up way.

At this time, Jia Ke was able to settle down, and now Jia Ke has completely controlled Xuanfu Town, with a total of 80,000 people under his command, of which 40,000 are Jia Ke's direct cronies. Although the other 40,000 people are under the control of various commanders, most of them have been brainwashed by Jia Ke, and as long as there are one or two more wars, these people can fully integrate into Jia Ke's system.

When Jia Ke completed his control of the army, he received a letter from Jia Zheng to him, and Jia Ke looked at the content of the letter, and his heart was shocked.

Jia Ke was also mentally prepared for the matter of Rongguo Mansion marrying him, after all, in ancient times, the children of everyone did not have the freedom to marry, and they all followed the words of their parents. Jia Ke has now integrated well into this feudal dynasty, and he doesn't have much disgust with it, and since he has received benefits, he has to take responsibility. It's just that he didn't expect that his target was actually Qin Keqing.

When Jia Ke watched Dream of Red Mansions in her previous life, she was the one who was most confused by the characters in it. It is unbelievable that an orphan girl who was adopted and finally became the patriarch of the Jia family. And a boy who was raised with her died not long after, which completely violated the ancient convention of male superiority and inferiority. In the end, after his death, he was buried on a large scale, and each royal palace set up road sacrifices. and her most suspicious way of death, as well as rumors of climbing ashes with her father-in-law.

The only thing Jia Ke can be sure of now is that his arrival has changed the direction of Dream of Red Mansions. Qin Keqing becoming his fiancée is the most powerful proof.

However, he didn't take this matter to heart, with his current official position and power, it was enough to ensure the safety of himself and his family, and he even had the ability to break the net. Jia Ke now has some small expectations in his heart, wanting to see what the number one beauty in the dream of Red Mansions, Qin Keqing, who is known as both hairpins and daisies, looks like.

The matter of marriage was quickly thrown out of the clouds by Jia Ke, and his main energy now is focused on hoarding supplies in the summer. He was ready for a large-scale northern expedition to beat the Tatars to the bitterness. But when his recital was sent to the imperial court, it turned into a mud cow into the sea and disappeared.

It turned out that year the Tatars began, large-scale infighting. According to the information sent by Tang Kuai, the contradictions between Arslen Khan and the various tribes finally reached the point of irreconcilability. The two sides have already fought several big battles on the steppe, each with its own victories and defeats. It seems that in the recent period, there is no ability to invade the south. Therefore, the imperial court held the principle that more things are better than less, and vetoed Jia Ke's proposal for the Northern Expedition.

After Jia Ke learned the news, he felt a great anger, and he finally felt the helplessness of the Border Pass General to control the Confucian students of the imperial court. This was supposed to be a great opportunity to bring the Tatars to a kneel from then on. Unexpectedly, the princes of the court gave up, and Jia Ke was completely speechless for their short-sightedness.

But with Jia Ke's current right to speak in the court, he has no ability to change this kind of court plan, so Jia Ke also endured it.

But for some reason, Jia Ke had an indescribable joy in his heart, and this joy could only be enjoyed silently by himself. Only the Tatars will divide the winners and losers, and become stronger, in the face of such great pressure, all the generals in the court will be wine bags and rice bags, so that the court will use him, and he will have a chance to climb up.

Jia Ke now has some expectations for Arslen Khan, to see if he can unify the grassland, as long as Arslen Khan wins, he will definitely invade the south, and then Coco will not be as petty as now, that is when the princes of the court regret it
