Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "This time, we are standing together, my Huan family only wants to keep Jingzhou, the Northern Expedition to make contributions, and there is no idea of ruling the imperial court, but Xie An wants to break the rules of your Jiankang Gaomen family taking turns to govern for many years, the family is dominant, he is now our common enemy, for the sake of today's plan, to prevent the Xie family from using the Northern Expedition as a name to continue to control the military power of Beifu, is the first thing!" ”

Wang Xun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Is there any way you can stop the Northern Expedition?" Recovering the lost territory, after all, is a righteous name, especially now that the Qin army is newly defeated and the north is unstable, as long as the world is really in chaos and the heroes rise together, there is no reason to stop the dispatch of troops. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xun paused: "Besides, your Huan family, haven't you already sent troops?" Is it reasonable for you to send troops yourself, but you don't let the Beifu army send troops? ”

Huan Xuan shook his head: "Our Huan family occupies Jingzhou, the money and food are self-supporting, and the army is also recruited by itself, but we don't want a grain of rice or a penny from the country, of course, we can decide whether to send troops or not." But the Beifu army is different. Although the Xie family formed this army, they did not have their own territory, and the money, food, and military salaries used had to be supplied by the imperial court. Therefore, the one who can stop the Xie Clan's Northern Expedition is you high-ranking families. ”

Wang Xun's brows furrowed: "You mean, let the family Gaomen cut off the military food supply of the Beifu Army?" ”

Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Not only military rations, but also all kinds of ordnance, people's husbands, chariots and horses, etc., in short, all logistics supplies related to the war can be done hand and foot, in addition, you can also connect the family and ask for a reward for meritorious soldiers." ”

Wang Xun shook his head dissatisfiedly: "Why? They were originally the people of my Great Jin Dynasty, and it was their duty to serve the country in the army, but after this victory, they had violated the military law of the Great Jin Dynasty and allowed them to plunder on a large scale, but now they have to be rewarded, which is tantamount to asking for the money of our family gate lords to supply those Beifu sergeants, I don't think anyone will agree, at least, I will not agree. ”

Huan Xuan smiled: "Brother Yuanlin, you still see it too closely, think about it, tigers are in the mountains and forests, they will eat people, but once we are captive and have meat to eat every day, we will lose the instinct to survive." The soldiers of Beifu are all tough guys, so that they can sacrifice their lives to fight, it is nothing more than a high reward, in the battle of Weishui, they disregard life and death, willing to risk arrows and stones, isn't it because they are counting on a high reward? ”

"If they are only allowed to plunder, then they can buy some family property and land when they return to their hometowns, but they will still be bullied, and it will not be long before these people will cheat people out of money and be destitute again, and when the time comes, they will continue to work hard in the army. You say, apart from the Northern Expedition, is there an opportunity to make a contribution? ”

Wang Xun pondered for a moment and nodded: "Is there any trick?" It's impossible to let these soldiers climb on the heads of the children of the family. ”

Huan Xuan smiled: "That's naturally impossible, Dajin is the world of the family, but the family gate valve occupies the power of the high-level, as for those folk officials, I imagine that Brother Yuanlin, the nephews of your family are not interested in occupying it." ”

Wang Xun said angrily: "Huan Lingbao, you look down on our Wang family too much, even if we are suppressed by Xie An, we have had a hard time over the years, but I am from the Langyu Wang family, and it is impossible for me to be a village official." ”

Huan Xuan smiled and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, Huan lost his words for a while, and I ask Brother Yuan Lin to forgive one or two, but what the younger brother means is that these low-level officials can let these Beifu soldiers who have returned to their hometowns be the officers." ”

Wang Xun's heart moved: "I'm afraid that there are not so many officials, but there is only one official in a township or a village, and these tens of thousands of Beifu troops are only afraid that they will occupy the township officials of my Great Jin." Besides, the land of Sanwu is the world of the high-ranking family, although the officials have a lowly status, but they also have to be their own people, or even their own family's family to be the only one, otherwise the high-ranking family hides the people and evades taxes, in case it is exposed to a guy who is not long-eyed, it is also quite a headache. “

Huan Xuan said with a smile: "Naturally, you can't go to the land of Sanwu and move the foundation of the family, what I said is just to let them be some small officials in the six counties of Jiangbei and the overseas Chinese prefectures and counties like Jingkou." It won't cause any trouble to you high-ranking families. ”

Wang Xun nodded: "It's just that in this way, all the village chiefs in these places, the total number of Li Zheng is hundreds, how can it be possible to accommodate tens of thousands of Beifu soldiers?" ”

Huan Xuan said with a smile: "This is the first, you don't need to place all the Beifu troops, as long as you place the officers among them, at least above the team, and then give a small official." Without a leader like Liu Yu, ordinary soldiers probably took the money and went home to buy land and marry a wife, and they didn't want to continue fighting. ”

Wang Xun said with a smile: "There are many fewer people in this way, but there are at least a few thousand officers, and the number of officials is still not enough." ”

Huan Xuan glanced at the emperor and Xie An and the others in the distance, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "You can think of a way to add some more official positions." Just like the establishment of states and counties in the past, there were only nine states in the world at the earliest, why there were thirteen states in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after arriving in the Great Jin Dynasty, it became more and more numerous. ”

Wang Xun's heart moved, and said: "That's because there are more states and counties, which can accommodate a large number of children of the family and protect their wealth and dignity, so some of the previous counties have become states, but the official rank and title remain unchanged." If not, how can I have a family in the world? ”

Huan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, there are counties under the state, which can be several times more, more than ten times the number of Taishou, and under the township, some more units can also be set up, such as separating the functions of the township, collecting rents and managing the endowment, and setting up a likui to manage it, and those who levy people will set up a mound, and a mound to manage it." In this way, the original Li Zheng can be divided into two officials, Li Kui and Qiu Ba, and the original Li can also be divided into several li and several Qiu, so that the loyal and brave officers of Beifu will not everyone have officials and have something to do, how can they manage the Northern Expedition again? ”

Wang Xun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and muttered, "This, this is okay?" ”、

Huan Xuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Brother Yuan Lin, in the land of Jiangbei, your Gaomen family can't look down on it, and it is a place bordering Hulu and in danger at any time." In the past, it was simply thrown to the gang of bandits of the two Huai wanderers, but now that the Qin army has been repulsed, and some more li, mounds and the like are just to find a place for those bandits and wanderers, so that they can stop making trouble. ”
