Chapter 5 Accounts
Xiyang Wangfu Dongfang Shogunate Station, Changshi Li Gang is checking the accounts, Xiyang Wangfu because there are guards, and the guards need to be equipped with armor and weapons, which have to be received from the ordnance supervisor, so he is looking at the relevant accounts. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this world, it is common for the big families and the magnates of the gate lords to raise their subordinates and private soldiers, not to mention that the state and county officials who go to other places all bring a set of subordinates, that is, the mansions in the capital, and thousands of armed guards are commonplace.
The imperial courts of all dynasties and generations said on the surface that they would restrict the private soldiers of the tribes, but in fact it was difficult to do so, because the magnates all raised the private soldiers of the tribes, and the emperor dared to offend the anger of the people?
Not to mention that most of the magnates of the Zhou State started with military merits, and they often had to take their troops into battle to kill the enemy, and the prefectures and counties also took their troops to defend themselves, and when they returned to Beijing after the expiration of their terms, the tribes naturally came back, so why not raise private soldiers on weekdays?
With the subordinate private soldiers, it is natural to match armor and weapons, which involves iron weapons, of course, on the surface, the imperial court is very strict about building weapons and armor privately, but in fact, it is also turning a blind eye.
Li Gang knew this situation, but he felt that as the head of the palace, he had the responsibility of the words and deeds of the king of Kuang Zheng, and since the court had a system, then he had to let Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen carry it out.
The guards of the Xiyang Palace, there are 1,000 posts, so the armor and weapons must be configured according to the number of 1,000 people.
Armor, swords, shields, spears, feathered arrows, bows, as well as clothing, flags, drums, etc., Li Gang carefully looked at them and found that the accounts were clear, and he did not worry about the innumerable number of problems.
The accounts of the ordnance superintendent, he had sent officials to check them before, and now compared with the accounts of the palace, they are completely matched, at least it seems that the expenses of the palace guards are in the right way.
According to the common situation, the account received a thousand armor, but the actual one received more than one thousand, two or three hundred, that is, privately equipped his own private soldiers, this kind of thing is already tacit, and Yu Wenwen is "honest".
It's not enough to just look at the accounts, Li Gang has personally seen the guard treasury before, the armor leaves are new, the leather strips are elastic, it looks like it is indeed newly made, and there is also the name and date of the craftsman.
A random sampling of some feathered arrows and bows were also newly made.
Li Gang is not a nerd who reads books and reads stupidly, and knows that even if Yuwen Wen really has more armor and weapons to expand the size of the guard, no one will treat him well, after all, the five thousand tiger forest army is actually Yu Wenwen's private soldiers.
But it's too ugly to hear when the matter gets out, as a vassal king, his identity is very sensitive, and the big family raises private soldiers to guard the family, and you, a vassal king, secretly expand the size of the guard, what do you want to do?
The Hulin Army recruited by Yuwen Wen is like the recruitment organized by other generals, in fact, there is nothing strange, but if you want to enter and exit the key roads and passes, this army cannot pass without permission, but the palace guards can do it.
The palace guards naturally follow the vassal king's actions, just like the accompanying domestic servants, the lord of Lang will follow wherever he goes, there is no need to report to the Xia official Sima Mansion, and there is no need for the permission of the Xia official Sima Mansion to act.
Not only the various passes, but also the entry and exit of the capital or the movement in the city, will not be subject to too many restrictions by the Xia Guansima Mansion.
For example, if Yuwen Wen is ordered to enter Beijing, he can take all the guards with a total of 1,000 people all the way to the north, and he does not need to report to the Xia Guan Sima Mansion in advance through the state and county, but if he wants to take the Hulin army, he can't be so casual.
When they arrived in the capital, the guards could follow Yuwenwen directly into the city and be stationed at Yuwenwen's accommodation, while even if the Hulin Army could come outside the capital, it would not be so simple to enter the city.
Therefore, at the level of the vassal king, the establishment of the guard is very sensitive.
Although Yu Wenwen is now a foreign official and not in the capital, as a vassal king, he has to be careful not to leave a handle to be impeached, and Li Gang was worried at first that this person would unscrupulously expand the guard and be taken by people with ulterior motives to get the handle.
However, after verification, this is really "honest", and Li Gang couldn't help but sigh for a while.
Back then, he was also the military officer of Qi Wang Yu Wenxian's palace, and the caution of this King of Qi was impressive.
Yu Wenxian and his imperial brother Yu Wen Yong grew up together, and later assisted Yu Wen Yong in killing the powerful minister Yu Wen Hu, eliminating the Jin king's henchmen, and assisting Yu Wen Yong to regain the imperial power in his hands.
Yu Wenxian is an all-round talent, whether it is charging into battle or governing the state and county, he has made remarkable achievements, and at the age of only sixteen, he guarded Shu alone, pacified and governed in an orderly manner, and the lawsuit was gathered in one without tiredness.
Later, he participated in all the alignment battles, although he won and lost, but he had outstanding achievements and was called the king of the clan.
However, the Heavenly Family was ruthless, and Yu Wenxian was still set aside by Yu Wenyong, who was the emperor.
The official to the heavenly official Otsuka Zai, it looks very beautiful, but in fact he is a high and powerful person, without the "five mansions are always in the heavenly official", Yu Wenxian is actually rising and descending secretly.
This is a helpless thing, with the experience of King Yuwen of Jin, Yuwen Yong is on guard against the clan as a matter of course, but he is both defensive and useful to his younger brother Yu Wenxian, and Yu Wenxian is indeed talented, and gradually his achievements are difficult to appreciate.
The matter has come to this point, only Taoguang is obscure, and the edge is retracted, Qi Wangyu Wenxian has always been cautious, the palace has never exceeded the system, the number of guards is not even enough, and there is no fault in the house and outside the house.
Later, Emperor Yuwenyong wanted to appoint Yuwenxian as the commander and lead the army to crusade against the Turks, but Yuwenxian politely refused, because if he made great contributions, he would really be rewarded, and in the face of Yuwenyong's questioning, he would not let go of his mouth anyway.
It's all been cautious so far, and the result is still.... Alas.
Li Gang fell into memories, looking like he was thinking, the officials next to him were at a loss, no one dared to say anything for fear of interrupting Shangguan's train of thought, Liu Wenjing, who joined the army in the record room on the side, pondered for a moment, pretended to miss and knocked over the pen and paper, and the sound made Li Gang come back to his senses.
"Shangguan, this is the account of the rent of the palace, please look at it."
The officials hurriedly put the accounts forward, this long history is upright, even the king of Xiyang has touched a nose of ashes, where do they dare to take it lightly, they are afraid that they will be reprimanded for not doing any official business.
"The number of households in the palace, where is it distributed?"
"It's all in Xiyang County..."
Continue to check the accounts, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen has 10,000 households, the same as the Duke of Guo, of course, the number of food towns of the Duke of Yi has not changed.
In most cases, no matter what kind of title the Zhou State should have been, that is, there was no actual fief, and Yuwenwen's money, grain, and cloth for 10,000 households in the food town were allocated by the imperial court.
It's just that the situation is a little special now, and Yuwenwen's title is between the virtual seal and the real seal.
In fact, then there must be the Xiyang Kingdom, and the king of Xiyang, Yuwenwen, wants to go to the kingdom to become a vassal, just like the five kings of Zhao, Chen, Yue, Dai, and Teng, but now Xiyang County is still under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou and is directly governed by the imperial court.
False seal, the so-called food yi also exists on paper, the money, grain and cloth corresponding to the number of food yi, by the imperial court to allocate, now Yu Wenwen can directly take it from the rent of Xiyang County, Huangzhou, but also save the court the pain of allocation.
Therefore, for the situation of King Xiyang, which is between real and false seals, it is very necessary to check the accounts of the food eup, so as not to take the opportunity to encroach on the people's rent, saying that there are 10,000 households in the food eup, but the actual rent collected is far more than this.
Now the number of households in Huangzhou has exceeded 40,000, and they can afford the food of Yuwenwen, the king of Xiyang, but if Yuwenwen is misbeneficial, it will ruin his reputation, so Li Gang must check the accounts, and once he finds a problem, he must correct it in time.
However, after a closer look, I didn't find any problems, and in the past few years, the income of the royal palace (Gongfu) was comparable to the number of food estates at that time.
Putting down the dossier, Li Gang fell into deep thought, Yu Wenwen's performance, from the accounts, seemed very normal, he paid attention to the ink of the accounts of the past years, according to the different years, the old and new are different, indicating that it is not the content of the recent writing.
Either it's really okay all the time, or it's been making fake accounts all the time, which one will it be?
However, accounts can indeed be falsified, and Li Gang has seen all kinds of means, even if it is ink, it can be purposefully deployed and old.
So, it's not enough to just look at the accounts! (To be continued.) )
