Chapter 246: Xinfu Soldiers
Li Zhongyi and Song Yunxiang talked for a long time, except for a few issues, the two of them have almost the same concept in the strategic direction of Lingzhou.
In the end, Li Zhongyi made a resolute decision to promote Song Yunxiang to serve in the military and take charge of the affairs of the state government Liucao.
Because Li Zhongyi was not the envoy of Shuo Fangjiedu, he was limited by his scope of authority, and he did not have the right to directly appoint the upper adjutant in the state.
That is to say, Beijia, Sima and Changshi, because of their high status, must be decided by the imperial court.
Li Zhongyi's family got a lot of good things such as grain, gold, silver, copper, money, silk and silk, so he didn't care too much about the local taxes in Lingzhou.
The Senate Department was presided over by Zuo Ziguang, and Song Yunxiang was in charge of the state government, and Li Zhongyi's main energy was put on training and the northward expansion plan.
At today's closed-door meeting, Song Yunxiang, Zuo Ziguang, Yao Hong, and Guo Huai were all present. Li Yunxiao sat on Li Zhongyi's left side, and since he participated in the confidential meeting, he could protect Li Zhongyi's safety nearby, the best of both worlds.
Song Yunxiang reported: "According to statistics, in addition to the financial silk, a total of 300,000 acres of fertile land were obtained from this raid. According to the plan of the Senate Division, each family will be allocated 60 acres of land, and then 5ooo soldiers can be recruited immediately. ”
"Dashuai, the lower official has a doubt, I don't know if to say it or not?" Song Yunxiang suddenly asked Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile, but thought in his heart that Song Yunxiang, who had read a lot of books, had been in the yamen for a long time, so he liked to play with these twists and turns.
Yao Hong and others have always been straight to the point, talking about things and being straightforward. Song Yunxiang's body, the officialdom atmosphere is quite close to the former vice president Li Zhongyi.
Song Yunxiang said: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are generally granted 100 acres of land for each adult male, if we only grant 60 acres of land to each family, I am afraid that the soldiers' families will not be able to provide enough horses and combat equipment?" ”
Li Zhongyi explained with a smile: "Lingzhou's water source is insufficient. There are very few good fields, and if you follow the uniform field system in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult to feed a strong army. Therefore, we must adapt measures to local conditions, a family of 60 acres of land. Just to settle in. All weapons, horses, and other items are provided by the state government, so there is no need to increase the additional burden on the soldiers. ”
Song Yunxiang's eyes lit up. Hurriedly asked: "So, those sixty acres of good land do not need to pay taxes and grain?" ”
Li Zhongyi nodded and said with a smile: "I want the horses to run fast, but also the horses don't eat grass." It may be possible in the short term, but it will not be feasible in the long run. Therefore, although the fertile land is less, the corresponding burden is also reduced by half. All the crops that were dug out of the military fields belonged to the military subordinates. Life is definitely more abundant than before. ”
Song Yunxiang asked again: "Li Shuai, then the conscription is also exempted, right?" ”
Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile and said, "This is inevitable." There is no superiority in being a soldier, poor treatment, and low status, who will work for the imperial court? Thief soldiers. In our Lingzhou, it has become a thing of the past. ”
Song Yunxiang stroked his palms and laughed and said, "With Li Shuai at the helm, I have no worries in Lingzhou." ”
Zuo Ziguang said: "A strong army can't just be strong in the mouth, whether it is treatment or status, it must be higher than the number of ordinary people." This is what Xiang Shuai often says, soldiers must have a sense of honor in order to win a hundred battles! ”
Song Yunxiang nodded frequently, in the previous Lingzhou, the Han people were forced to kneel when they saw the nobles of the party members, and they were obviously in a state of inferiority.
"In view of the special situation in Lingzhou, the Senate has formulated the following military regulations, please refer to them." Zuo Ziguang took out a copy of the official note from his sleeve and read it aloud, "Soldiers give priority to the order: First, no matter how barbarian he sees my sergeant in Lingzhou, he must back down and bow his hand, and the violator will be fined 100 wen or 5 liters of grain; 2. When soldiers leave the camp, they must be dressed neatly, and there must be no words and deeds that are detrimental to the image of soldiers, and violators will be fined ten rods and confined for three days; Three ,......"
Zuo Ziguang read a large number of orders, and Song Yunxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and listened carefully.
After listening to it, Song Yunxiang realized that with the protection of the higher status of the soldiers, the trend of good men not being soldiers is bound to be fundamentally reversed.
"The division of land is based on the principle of voluntary and first-come, first-served, and the head of the household leads his children to take the initiative to recruit from the camp. If there is an only child in the family, it will not be accepted. After Zuo Ziguang finished reading the order, he added Juntian's new content.
Yao Hong said with a smile: "With such good conditions, if I were a Han people in Lingzhou, I would definitely cry and shout and run to apply for Lingtian." ”
"Alas, if there were such good conditions at the beginning, Lao Tzu would definitely serve the Great Shu Kingdom." Although Guo Huai became the deputy head of the capital before, it was difficult to buy more than 60 acres of fertile land with many years of savings.
Li Zhongyi touched his chin and said: "This so-called wisher is also hooked, and those who don't want to defend the border for the country, we don't need to be too partial." ”
Song Yunxiang stayed in Lingzhou all the year round and was familiar with the situation in the state, so he sighed and said: "In the past, the landlords only knew that they colluded with the party members and joined forces to oppress the people of their own clan, and they actually made the alien race become a superior person, which is really a sigh. ”
Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and said: "Honor, status and high income, the whole family does not have to serve conscription, so many benefits have been given, and the soldiers and men have no worries." ”
"This so-called first military government zhì also!" Zuo Ziguang looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile, "Xiangshuai used to always say that the military and politics were the first, and the students didn't understand it too much, but now they see it clearly." ”
Guo Huai grinned and said: "The border army is different from the Central Plains, it is originally seven points military and three points civil affairs. If you can't even keep your home, what else can you talk about? ”
Li Zhongyi was secretly funny, the fresh terms he leaked out every once in a while were learned decently by his henchmen.
"Xiangshuai, some families only have two sons, but they have sixty acres of land, I'm afraid they still need to divide the cattle?" Song Yunxiang's reminder made Li Zhongyi very pleased.
Li Zhongyi and Zuo Ziguang looked at each other, and Zuo Ziguang immediately explained: "The Kotou tribe originally had a lot of cattle and sheep, plus the booty they got after defeating the Yehe tribe, there were more than 10,000 cattle. According to the plan, each household will have at least one cow, which is completely sufficient. ”
Song Yunxiang listened to Zuo Ziguang's explanation, looked up to the sky and sighed: "From now on, I will be worry-free in Lingzhou!" ”
What he thought of, Li Zhongyi had already thought of in advance, he didn't expect it, Li Zhongyi thought farther and deeper, what else to say?
After the meeting ended, Song Yunxiang immediately summoned the scribes of the state government, wrote more than 200 notices, and handed them over to the Fangzheng and Lizheng in the city or county, so that they must use the easy-to-understand local dialect to publicize it to the Han people.
When the notice was posted, the news immediately spread, and on the same day, hundreds of Han people came to apply.
According to Li Zhongyi's private instructions, Mo Jixun was taken by Yao Hong to assist in testing the physical condition of the recruits.
Due to the emphasis on collective combat, according to the old tradition of the Hechi Township Army, there is no special requirement for height, however, the body must be abundant and the foot must be good.
Mo Jixun couldn't help frowning frequently when he saw that some people with short stature were actually accepted into the barracks by Yao Hong.
Yao Hong didn't pay attention to Mo Jixun, every time a man who signed up, as long as he could afford to lift a stone lock weighing dozens of catties, or if he could shoot arrows, he would be considered to have passed the first test.
Next, it is just to arrange running or horseback riding, and there is no assessment of martial arts at all.
Mo Jixun wanted to put forward his different views to Yao Hong several times, but the words reached his throat, and he didn't say it.
"Mo Dutou, do you know why there are so many people who come to apply?" Yao Hong suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Jixun, who was a little distracted, and asked him with a smile.
Mo Jixun deliberately pretended to be thinking and rubbed for a while, and then replied with some hesitation: "Maybe it's because the first one can get a share of the high-grade paddy field, right?" ”
Yao Hong glanced at Mo Jixun, who was deliberately pretending to be stupid, but nodded quietly and said: "Xiangshuai once told a story, saying that there is a country in the extreme east that wants to demolish houses and requisition land and build various facilities. At first, the common people were reluctant, and the government could only send officials or soldiers to act roughly, and as a result, many major events occurred. Later, a wise man built a government office, and instead of being rude, it was better to lure the people with profits, and adopt the strategy of those who moved first to get good land, and those who moved later got poor land. After the trial implementation by the government, the effect was amazingly good, and the demolition and relocation went a lot smoother. ”
Mo Jixun thought of this layer last night, and now, after listening to the story pretended to be told by Yao Hong, he couldn't help but secretly admire Li Zhongyi's wisdom.
Although the people do not fight with the officials, if the officials force the people to be anxious, the trouble is also very great.
Instead of always being rude, it is better to use great benefits to attract the common people, so that they can follow the direction of the government and be obedient.
This is the first time in the world that this is the first time to govern the world!
Mo Jixun lowered his head, carefully pondering the connotation of the story, and his heart was clear. Even if the Han people in Lingzhou knew that Li Zhongyi lured them to sell their lives, given that the interests were too big to resist, they would definitely sharpen their heads and drill into the barracks!
Yao Hong saw that Mo Jixun was in deep thought, and he didn't pay attention to it, he clasped his hands to his chest, squinted at the endless stream of registered people, and thought of Li Zhongyi's private confession.
Li Zhongyi said that this Mo Jixun is likely to come from a branch of the party - the Zhepu clan, that is, the Fuzhou Zhecong Ruan line.
Although Yao Hong couldn't understand why Li Zhongyi attached so much importance to Mo Jixun, based on Li Zhongyi's foresight in the past, Yao Hong still deliberately took Mo Jixun with him, so that he could see clearly what kind of amazing changes would occur in the Li family's new army from selection to formal formation?
According to Li Zhongyi, this should be regarded as a conspiracy, so that you know how to do it, but you can't learn it.
In just five days, 300,000 acres of fertile land were completely divided by the Hermes-Epitek family, who had always regarded the land as a dumb son.
As long as one son serves the country, he can get sixty acres of land for free, and he is completely exempt from forced labor.
Therefore, the Han people in Lingzhou are full of energy, and the eight immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers will squeeze into the ranks of Shuofang's new army. (To be continued.) (。 ))
