Houde Hall

When Tianzi heard that Man Chong and Zhuge Jin had arrived, Liu Xi didn't ask much, and directly let them in.

With a solemn face, holding a large pile of paper in his arms, Zhuge Jin beside him was slightly restrained, but it was the same, holding more papers, the two saw the Son of Heaven and worshipped together, Liu Xi looked at Qi Yue on the side with some displeasure, and said: "Why don't you help them get some, it's so difficult to call a few yellow doors?" ”

When Qi Yue heard this, he didn't explain, and hurriedly confessed his guilt in panic, Liu Xi snorted coldly and let Qi Yue leave, and then he said: "Your Majesty can't blame him, we didn't let him help...."

"Sit down... It's on the table, what, is this the third proposal of your new law? Liu Xi asked suspiciously, Man Zhong shook his head, and said: "This is some of the proposals written by Zhuge Jun for the reform of the pawn, he came to negotiate with me today, I think it's not bad, so I came to find Your Majesty...", as he spoke, he put the document on the case and let the Son of Heaven come to see it.

Liu Xi picked up one of them and began to read it.

"The armor of the guards is different from the leather armor of the soldiers, mainly lightweight, equipped with long swords, and some with bows and crossbows, with shackles... Individual positions are equipped with horses, thinking that they are used for pursuit...", Liu Xi looked at it seriously, nodding his head from time to time, Zhuge Jin also calmed down at the moment, Liu Xi read these proposals, and said: "The proposal to enrich the palace with retired soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army is very good, I like it very much!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"But why do you want to make the magistrate lower in rank than the magistrate?"

"Your Majesty, because the officials of the guard have military power in their hands, and the guard cannot be underestimated, therefore, the county order is slightly higher than them, so as to form a local counterbalance, if the grade is the same, the county order without military power is too guarded, how can it balance them?"

The two chatted for a long time, and the full pet also said a few words from time to time to supplement, so after two hours, several people did not feel tired, but the more they chatted, the more interested they became, Liu Xi was very happy and said: "Ziyu, good, very good, you gave me a big surprise, this is the position of the servant of the house, it is yours, this mansion is new, but it is very important, the stability of the world, I will entrust it to you!" ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly got up and thanked him.

In May, a court meeting was officially held, and everyone knew in their hearts that this court meeting was probably to discuss the matter of changing the palace, of course, the temple ministers were not interested in this, in their eyes, the so-called more palace was not on the table, just like the post house, not to mention the change of the system, there was no impact on them.

Therefore, Xun Yu's proposal was passed very quickly and almost without any obstacles, Lu Bu was not very interested in it, but when he heard that the future guards were hired with the priority of retired soldiers, he raised some interest, if it was the previous guards, the soldiers would definitely not be willing to go, what is the matter of being a guard in the place with countless heroes?

But now it's different, if the pawn becomes an official, that is, there is another way to advance, which makes Lu Zhongshu very happy, the Han Dynasty recruited a large number of soldiers in the Xiaoxian period, so that in the eighteenth year of Xiping, the Han soldiers had reached an astonishing 210,000 people, in the year of Yankang, the temple laid off a large number of soldiers, leaving only the elite northern and southern armies.

These hundreds of thousands of soldiers were dismissed, which did have a lot of impact on the locality, many of them were arrested for crimes, and they fought outside for a long time, which will make them irritable, and they also mastered a variety of combat skills, in Xuzhou, there was a retired soldier, because he suspected that his wife had an affair with his neighbor when he was away, and he killed 14 people.

At that time, the guards who participated in the capture of him suffered heavy losses, this soldier was retired from the Northern Army, and the veteran who participated in the Battle of Kushan killed six guards with his bare hands, and finally shot him with a strong crossbow, Lu Bu has never forgotten these things, if the guard system is established, there will be a way to properly arrange the retired soldiers.

The temple has a subsidy for these people, but they need more than just money and food, they need an errand that can help them not think about it all day long and cause trouble.

Lu Bu felt very sorry for these soldiers, in the six years of Yankang, there were eighty retired soldiers who committed suicide, according to the description of their families, after they returned from the battlefield, they were extremely nervous, as if there was an enemy hiding around them, the sword did not leave their bodies all day, and they had injured their relatives, and in the end, they all chose to end their lives.

Therefore, after the court meeting ended in a hurry, he went to find Zhuge Jin who was talking to Xun Yu, and regardless of what the two were talking, Lu Bu directly grabbed Zhuge Jin's arm and dragged him in front of him, Zhuge Jin was taken aback, looked at Lu Bu in front of him, and saluted respectfully, Lu Bu said impatiently: "Okay, you are the new servant, right?"

Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Then what do you decide to do with this first batch of new soldiers, if the school is to be built and train students, it will take a long time, could it be that there will be no innovation before this?" , Lu Bu asked curiously, Zhuge Jin replied: "Naturally not, the academy is to be established, and the students are also to be trained, but this is not in conflict with the implementation of the new system, I am ready to ask a few universities to help, and first recruit a group of scholars to serve in various important positions." ”

Lu Bu frowned, and asked with some annoyance, "Didn't you say that you were going to recruit retired soldiers?" How did you become a scholar again? ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "Lu Shizhong, the first thing to be selected are some clerical positions, responsible for sorting out household registration, investigation, and investigation of cases, of course, it is necessary to use scholars, as for retired soldiers, it is necessary to arrange for the pursuit and arrest of this aspect...", hearing Zhuge Jin's words, Lu Bu shook his head and sneered.

"Ignorance, ignorance!"

Lu Bu opened his mouth and scolded.

Zhuge Jin was a little helpless, but he didn't dare to collide with Lu Bu, not only Lu Bu's status was high, but he was also old, to reprimand himself, Zhuge Jin really couldn't refute, and could only listen with his head down, this is the benefit of being an old minister of the Han Dynasty, the older the better, when you are more than the age of the ancient, you are pointing at the nose of the Son of Heaven to scold, and absolutely no one dares to say about you.

Of course, as for whether the Son of Heaven will hold a grudge and blame your offspring, that's another matter.

"Lu Zhongshu, what did I do wrong?"

"You look down on those retired soldiers, who told you that these people can only be hunted down and arrested? Do you think they're all reckless?? Let me tell you, those soldiers who used to serve as scouts and then retired, solving cases is the same as playing, their best thing is to observe, check, detect, and hand it over to them, they do it a hundred times better than the soldiers!! ”

"As for sorting out the household registration, there are also logistics personnel in the military, these people transport grain and grass, and register the list of soldiers, can't they still sort out the household registration? As for fire prevention, do you know that there are soldiers in the Northern and Southern armies who are specifically responsible for extinguishing fires and setting fires? Yes? You don't know anything, in your eyes, we warriors are all reckless people, except for the use of force, we don't know anything? ”

"It's... I really don't know...", Zhuge Jin looked dazed.

Lu Bu said: "Listen to me, recruit more retired soldiers, these people are all talents, not to mention arresting thieves, checking passers-by, registering household registration, etc., even if the young couple quarrels, they can also persuade peace, I tell you, there are soldiers in the army who are responsible for persuading them to surrender, if there is a war, these people will go to the city wall, persuade the enemy's soldiers, let them change their ways..."

"They also know some medical skills, because they have been fighting abroad for a long time, many people need to learn some simple medical skills, and they can treat their comrades in a timely manner.

The more Zhuge Jin listened, the more dazed he became, is this still a military service? ?

"Lu Gong... I also commanded the soldiers of the Sili Captain's Mansion, how can it be a little different from what Lu Gong said...."

"Nonsense, can those people compare with the soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies? These were all Zhang Gong's proposals back then.... Alas, if he knew that it had finally been implemented, he would have been very happy. ”

"Zhang Gong? Which Zhang Gong? ”

"Taiwei Zhang, Zhang cut off his head, I told you that you don't know either, don't ask, just do what I say, if you don't believe it, I can help you find a few people, you can take a look, in addition, if you are willing to do this, I will do my best to help you!" , Lu Bu said seriously, Zhuge Jin nodded, and said with a smile: "I am willing to listen to Lu Zhongshu's orders!" ”

Lu Bu laughed at this time, and slapped Zhuge Jin's shoulder suddenly, causing Zhuge Jin to almost fall to the ground, enduring the pain, and having to squeeze out a smile, watching Lu Bu leave, when Lu Bu left, Xun Yu walked to his side and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a little painful, but who is this Zhang beheaded, does Xun Gong recognize it? And the one with that name? ”

"Alas... The late Taiwei Zhang, you don't recognize him, it's normal, people are always forgetful, after Zhang Gong died, I still remember him, and I don't know how much is left, don't talk about this, since you are okay, then let's continue to talk about the original arrangement method... It is mentioned in the prince's theory of the hidden husband...."

Xun Yu started talking to him.

Lu Bu happily walked out of the palace, did not rush home, but rushed directly to the Jimin Mansion, rushed to the gate of the Jimin Mansion, Lu Bu directly broke in, at this moment he was still wearing that official uniform, and no one dared to stop him, they all bowed to him, and when he entered the mansion, he saw Yuan Xi who was negotiating with the officials in the distance.

Yuan Xi has just come back from the temple, and now he is in charge of all the affairs of this Jimin Mansion, facing the surprised eyes of the surrounding officials, Yuan Xi turned his head and saw Lu Bu who was looking around at the door, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"You're in charge of the Jimin Mansion?"

"Exactly."

"Great, you are also responsible for the subsidy of retired soldiers, right?"

"Exactly... I don't know what Gong Lu commanded? ”

ps: Alas, even if you are book friends who have been with you all the way, most of them have forgotten the beheading madman Zhang Wen, please cut off my head Yang ball, old and immortal Cui Wei, Luoyang Three Evils Liu Ju.... Everyone in the world is forgetful.
