Chapter 18, now Su Wu

The winter wheat was harvested in September, and at the end of September, it was basically put into storage, and the county and state officials gathered in the Ministry of Chang'an to report the amount of tax grain. However, the largest part of Chang'an Xingtai's income comes from the Tunbu, and nearly one-twentieth comes from the Yu Ministry and the Ministry of Commerce. After that, the above departments will be the Ministry of Literature and Degree, and after the Ministry of Degree has checked all the numbers, it will be reported directly to Pei Cai.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, state finance has adopted a policy of "living within the limits of income", first determining how much tax can be collected, and then deciding how to spend it in the coming year, that is, October as the beginning of a fiscal year. So the ministers submitted their own plans and asked for money from the ministry.

Among them, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Police, after consultation, submitted an astronomical amount, the amount of which accounted for almost 70% of the tax paid this year. Peng Xinpan of the Ministry of War wanted to complete Pei's plan of 100,000 troops, and it was a regular soldier, while Peng Guomo, the head of the Ministry of War, used Shi Zhao's position as an excuse and asked for more than 7 to 80,000 troops to be set aside for four to five months of food and supplies.

Pei should ask him directly: "Qing will have 80,000 troops to the east, compared to May to half a year, is it possible to wipe out Shile and Shihu?" "You have to be sure that I'll tighten my belt to support you, otherwise...... Shall we have the year after tomorrow?

The taxes paid in Chang'an Xingtai came mainly from the tungangs in Yongzhou, accounting for almost half of the total – nearly seventy percent of the population of Yongzhou is now confined to the tungangs – and the small number of yeoman farmers and large tenants paid was quite limited. As for Qinzhou, it is vast and sparsely populated, and it has not been set for a long time, so it needs money, and there is not much tax in the first place, and nearly half of it has been prepaid in advance.

Hedong and Binh Duong were relatively wealthy, but they only went through the army in the first half of the year, which led to the dispersion of the population - almost all the people in the counties north of Pingyang were taken away by Shi Hu - and the land was also abandoned, although the wind and rain were barely adjusted, there was very little grain that could be collected this year.

Therefore, under Pei Gai's rule, although he had a good year, his stall was also spread larger, and as soon as he went out and entered, it was naturally difficult to support the huge military plan of Guo Mo and others.

And in Pei Gai's view, the reason why he was able to pacify Guanxi in just a few years, and regain Hedong and Pingyang by chasing Liu Yao and others, was purely due to the death of those surnamed Liu, and he could not overestimate his own strength because of this. Now Shi Zhao occupies the surplus land in Sanzhou, the interior is still harmonious, and it is too dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Hebei is rich, no less than Henan, you want to rely on one or two decisive battles to completely destroy it, it is too wishful thinking.

Pei should expect that in the autumn and winter, Shi Le will inevitably launch a round of onslaught, this is because now the trend of small and big is obvious - Luoyang and Chang'an combined, that is, stronger than Shi Zhao, not to mention the Jiangzuo regime, for the time being, will not be forcefully stumped, at least it will not subtract points to the Jin side - then if Zhuge Liang governs Shu, if he does not quickly expand his territory and rob the population, the enemy will inevitably become stronger and I will be weaker, and finally there will be no power to return to heaven......

Pei Gai planned with Tao Kan, Pei Wei and others, Zu Ti was in the east, facing Shi Le, the main purpose was to defend rather than attack, and Guanzhong may also need to send 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce the imperial court. And he is on the western front, he also has to prevent Shi Hu from going south, and if he has spare strength, he will try to enter Taiyuan or Shangdang, so that he can slowly invade Shi Zhao's momentum, and it is possible to achieve the final victory after three or five years.

Therefore, the suggestion of Xin Pan, Guo Mo and others was rejected, and the number of regular soldiers was not expanded for the time beingβ€”in addition to Su Jun's "Gonglai Battalion", a total of 16 battalions of the three armies and five brigades were maintained, with more than 50,000 peopleβ€”but it was necessary to strengthen internal construction, improve organization and training; Supplies were temporarily allocated for five months on an expedition of 40,000 troops.

If you add the funds of the police department, the tun department and the administrative department, this has already accounted for nearly fifty percent of the taxes......

Fortunately, Xinde reported that Tuoba Xianbei had invaded southward, but Shi Hu refused to sit and guard, and did not wait for Qiufu to hand over, so he personally sent more than 10,000 troops north to resist the enemy, and as a result, he suffered a big defeat under Jiuyuan City. Immediately, Shi Hu retreated into Jiuyuan City, did not dare to go out again, Xianbei soldiers went around the city, until they entered Taiyuan County, looted the suburbs of Yuxian County, and then triumphantly went north. According to this situation, Shi Hu will not be able to attack Pingyang in the south within half a year.

Of course, it is also necessary to prevent Shile from traveling thousands of miles to dispatch materials and even men and horses to reinforce Shihu.

Pei Gai took advantage of this opportunity to continue to Tao Kan's past dedication, from Liangshan, Suyi to build forts to the north, in October of that year, Mo Huaizhong led the third battalion of the rear army, and finally killed near Gaonu. Gao Nu was originally the place where Liu Yao Dali settled after the defeat, and he went to Pingyang, but left Peng Fu to lead the troops to guard Gao Nu. Now that the Jin army was surging, Peng Fuhu did not dare to resist, but was forced to abandon the city and flee to the north.

After Mo Huaizhong entered Gaonu, he didn't expect to be reckless, but sent back to Chang'an by car.

Lu Pinglu General Deben was a member of the army of Shi Zhu Shuang in Fufeng, and in the past, he was ordered by Zhu Shuang to come to Pei to ask for surrender to the army, and then transferred to the Gongcao of Anding County. Last year, Peng Lu invaded Stability, and Wei Lu relied on Du Lu City, and he was even lured by Peng Fuhu. Peng Fuhu persuaded Lu Ping to surrender to Han, but Lu Jiangde said: "The fierce general Ruoyun under the command of Da Sima and the virtuous minister Ruoyu, because I am not talented, I am not inappropriate to live in the county, how can I be greedy for Lilu and throw myself into the jackals?" "Refusing to surrender, Peng Fuhu is coerced to the east and returned to the high slave.

When he arrived at Gaonu, Liu Yao also persuaded Lu Ping, but Lu Ping always refused to give in, so he was demoted to a shepherd slave and herded horses for the Hu people. When the Jin army arrived, Peng Fu protected the north and escaped, at that time, the people in Gaonu City were panicked, and Lu Pingnai hid in the haystack and escaped the doom of being coerced for the second time - in fact, Peng Fuhu couldn't take care of him at this time, but he just ordered the tribe to take Lu Ping's head, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

Therefore, Pei Wei, Pei Cui and others all said: "Lu Jiangde has been trapped in Hu for many years, and his will is unyielding, so he should show his loyalty and integrity." ”

Pei Cai's hand twisted his beard and muttered silently.

What was he pondering? Lu Ping, who was originally in history, once after Liu Yao captured Chang'an, threw himself into the Hu camp and served as the long history of the former Zhao general Hu Yanshi, and then Chen An rebelled and killed Hu Yanshi, he returned to Chen An, but he opposed Chen An to completely rebel against Liu Yao, and was finally killed by Chen An. Liu Yao sighed sadly because of this, and said: "The sage, the hope of the world, harming the sage, is the love of the world...... Chen An is now in the autumn of recruiting talents and philosophers, and harming the gentleman, desperate at that time, I know that he is powerless. ”

The life trajectory of some people, at least the camp they belong to, has not changed because of Pei Gai's crossing, such as Fan Long, Wei Zhong, etc., but Lu Ping has completely changed. If Lu Ping is a loyal minister, then in the original history, he first betrayed the Jin Dynasty and surrendered to Chen, even if he does not count the three surnames of domestic slaves, there are always two surnames; If he is not a loyal minister, in this timeline, he has been detained for Liu Yao for many years, and he has always been unyielding, like Su Wu of the trumpet...... Why?

Everything changes because of the general trend of the world. When the Jin Dynasty was hopeless in the Central Plains and Hu was blazing for a while, those who did not know what the national righteousness was, would naturally throw themselves into the arms of Hu and Ji one after another, and even Lu Ping would advise Chen An not to go against Liu Yao; But when the Jin Dynasty was restored, Yilu relied on this kind of obsession with traditional Confucian morality, and the scholars who still had a little face would not be willing to be two or three virtuous.

From this point of view, Lu Ping is indeed a good example worthy of publicity, but the effect is not to teach people to be loyal, but to declare the world, China has now recovered!

Pei Wei, Pei Cui and the others saw that Pei should not express his position immediately, but was groaning, and couldn't help but wonder. Fortunately, Pei should not think about it for a long time, so he smiled: "What Qing and others said is true, I should go outside the city in person to greet Lu Jiangde." At the same time, he ordered Guo Pu to write Lu Ping's deeds into a recital, and asked the court to confer his son and baron.

Qin was knighted for military merits, from the public to the marquis, a total of 20 levels; In the Han Dynasty, the kings were divided, and the Marquis of Che (who later avoided Emperor Wu Liu Che and changed to the Marquis) was listed separately from the 20th rank of the marquis. then the king and the marquis are knights, have food, receive taxes, and can be hereditary; The following marquis of Guannai is a knight, which cannot be hereditary, but it is only increased and exempted from taxes. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the lord gradually died out, but only the first level of the marquis of Guannei was retained (more marquis of Guanzhong and the marquis of Guanwai during Jian'an), and at the same time, the marquis also had counties, townships, and pavilions.

At the end of the Cao Wei period, Sima Zhao was in power, claiming to follow the Zhou rites, and set up five titles, such as duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. As a result, the title system of the Jin Dynasty followed the previous dynasty and was divided into three parts: one was the clan, the king, and there was a difference between the prince and the county king; the second is a fifth-class knighthood with a different surname, and there are also county dukes, county dukes, county marquis, and county marquis, and the word "founding" is added; The third is the township, the pavilion and the Guannei.

In fact, below the earl, although there is a name, the number of people who give the title is not much, probably because based on tradition, only the two words of Gong and Hou are honored, and they are uncles, sons, and men, and the people who receive them may not be very happy. There are more county dukes canonized than when the country was founded, and most of the new lords were marquis-Sima Liang, Sima Lun, etc., when they were in power, they indiscriminately named marquis, and there was a saying "thousands of Liang marquis, thousands of Lun marquis".

Therefore, the titles that Pei should have obtained from the imperial court for his generals were basically county marquises. Now he plans to use the knighthood to reward Lu Ping, but if he is still named a marquis, he is afraid that the generals will say different words - we have fought bloodily and have to be crowned marquis, how can we raise a horse for a year and also be crowned marquis? He asked the court to give a viscount or a baron to Lu Ping. As for the Xiangting Marquis, Guannei Marquis, etc., they cannot be hereditary, and I am afraid that no one will regard them as valuable.

When he arrived in Luoyang, the imperial court issued an edict within a few days and canonized Lu Ping as a compliment. As for the Xingtai, after Pei Gai personally greeted and encouraged Lu Ping, he was familiar with the affairs of Gaonu, and ordered him to be the county commander of Gaonu.

Restoring the territory of the heyday of the Han Dynasty was Pei Gai's ambition, so after Liu Yao's main force left Gaonu, he still spared no effort to support Tao Kan's northward expansion strategy, and finally recovered Gaonu City. This city is a famous city in the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu once named Dong Peng as the king of Zhai, so that the capital is Gaonu, and wait until Liu Bang "secretly crosses Chencang", after defeating the three Qin, Gaonu County is set up. Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, Shangjun has gradually fallen into the hands of Di and Qiang, and its counties are not restored.

Pei Gai played before, asked for the reset of Shangjun, and was approved by the imperial court, and then appointed the Void Quan Qu as the Taishou of Shangjun, and supervised the military of Shangjun Rongbu. Although Shangjun reverted to its name, it was equivalent to the feudal state of later generations, and the imperial court could not control an inch of land at all. Therefore, now that Gao Nu has been obtained, it must be managed by Xingtai's direct order officials - Gao Nu is a small county, and the Han Dynasty only appointed the county magistrate, and Pei Gai directly ordered Lu Jiangde to serve as the county commander.

According to Mo Huaizhong's report, although the city of Gaonu is small, since Liu Yao has been operating there for nearly two years, he will naturally repair it, and the city defense is quite strict - to tell the truth, if Hu Xin is not chaotic and Peng's family does not leave, then Mo Huaizhong wants to take down Gaonu with a battalion of soldiers, and he himself is not too sure - there are thousands of hectares of cultivated land that can be radiated and controlled around. It's just that the population is too small, and the total number of people in and out of the city is estimated to be only five or six hundred, two or three thousand......

Pei Cainai consulted with Peng Xinming of the Tunbu, that is, he ordered all the peasant households in Gaonu County to be reduced to tunmin, and set up ten Mintun in the east, west and north of the city, and then moved from Feng Yi and Jingzhao to the north of the fifth and third of Mintun, and did not place it in the south of Gaonu City. At the same time, the Ministry of Works was ordered to gather the people to repair the road from Yangsan to Gaonu.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Pei Gai is planning things in the north, and at the same time, Xun Guanniang is planning the cat's "blind date".

Pei Gai originally told her: "Xie Feng, Wen Lang, Liu Guang, etc., are salty in their youth, and they are still uncoupled." But as soon as I inquired, I dared to love Xie Feng not long ago, and agreed to marry in the coming year.

The generals under Pei Gai, Tao Kan, Guo Mo, etc., regardless of the time being, the oldest is Liu Yang (Liu Yetang), who has passed forty years, and most of the others are similar to Pei Gai's age, around thirty. In these years, it is actually rare for those who have the conditions to not marry a wife in their thirties, such as Dong Biao is thirty-one years old, the eldest son Dong He is already twelve years old, and most of the others naturally have families.

And only Xie Feng, Wen Lang and a few other people are nearly thirty years old and have not yet married a wife. Originally, there were no conditions - before joining the army, most of the families were poor, and they couldn't make up enough dowry, and then the army was in chaos, so it was delayed - and then the status gradually became noble, and it was the same as Zhen Sui, and he was planning to marry the daughter of a scholar, but who among the scholars could look down on these big old men?

Even if Wen Lang, how many people really believe that he is the grandson of Wen Li?

However, the situation has changed recently, since he has been given the title of marquis, the title can be hereditary, and many second- and third-rate families in Guanzhong have come up to talk about marriage - Wen Lang has become the proud guest of the Jincheng Shan family.

Then there is only one Xie Feng left, the key is that he is from Yangzhou, full of birds, and the official language is always unfavorable, so although there are also sergeants who come to say goodbye, they often meet and are deterred - I can't understand what he is talking about, the conditions are not good to talk about.

Originally, there was Liu Guang who could make up the numbers, but Xun Guanniang looked down on Hu Ren; Pei Gai also mentioned Pei Xiong, but Xun Guanniang always thought that he was his own house slave - Pei Lin and Pei Du were also born as their own house slaves, so how could a house slave marry Xun's daughter? Then there is only one Xie Feng left, do you still use a cat to choose? What's the difference between directly specifying a marriage and completely arranging it?

So after Pei Gai discussed with Xun Guanniang, he expanded the scope of the blind date, and took out all the people who were lieutenants and above, of the same age, and who had not yet married, and who were in Chang'an, a total of seventeen people, were called to the Great Sima Mansion. Pei should set up a banquet to entertain the generals, and let the cat peek behind the screen - you see who is more pleasing to the eye, can talk to you about marriage?
