095 Seals

"Did you hear that, we're going to be scholars soon."

"Scholars, what do you mean by scholars?"

"Scholars are ...... It is...... It's a scholar. I don't know what a scholar is, but the officials are all scholars. ”

"Huh? Scholars, by virtue of our origins, are we worthy to be scholars? Don't forget Ben. ”

"However, the general said that as long as you kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, no matter what your background, you can be a soldier, and we will also be scholars who will rest with the country in the future!"

"Is this true, there is such a good thing."

"What the general said, there can be no falsehood. The general, his old man, is high, and he will deceive us pawns. ”

"That's right, I didn't expect that I would become a scholar one day."

The above kind of dialogue, after Liu Bei made it necessary to make the soldiers a soldier, was discussed everywhere among the soldiers.

Even these people who are about to be canonized are unbelievable that they can become "scholars". It is really the influence of the "scholar" class in this era that is too great.

For example, Ren Yi, even the Yellow Turban Army said: Although we are thieves, we can't invade Ren Yi's hometown.

For example, Dong Zhuo, after coming to power, had no bottom line to curry favor with the scholar class, and he was almost flattering.

Of course, these little soldiers didn't know that Liu Beifeng's "shi" was different from the family gate valve.

The family gatekeeper, that is a class that even He Jin and Dong Zhuo want to please and want to join, where is Liu Bei's upper lip touching his lower lip, and a mouth can be sealed.

Even if one day in the future, Liu Bei becomes the emperor, as long as the political pattern formed in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty has not changed, he will not have this ability.

However, Liu Bei doesn't care about this, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you don't take advantage of the current situation to start reversing China's morale, and wait until Cao Cao abolishes the military merit system, Cao Pi is coming up with a "nine-grade Zhongzheng system", I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future.

Therefore, Liu Bei not only acted as a feudal priest, but also arranged a formal canonization ceremony.

This time, there are more than 10,000 people who have worked hard enough to seal the scholars, even if they seal a thousand a day, it will take more than ten days to complete the seal.

Since ancient times, it has been a common practice in the military to receive awards for meritorious service, but those who have always been rewarded are high-ranking generals and the like. Otherwise, there will be no "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither." Something like that.

This time, Liu Bei is going to break this convention and start rewarding from small soldiers.

In the entire Han Dynasty, the reclaimed land on the official record at this time exceeded one billion mu, and if 500 mu of land was exchanged for a soldier, it would be two million troops, of course, it could not be as little as 500 mu. But at least it can raise an army of the order of a million.

If that day comes, a class of military aristocratic landowners, similar to the samurai of Japan and the Junkers of Germany, will appear on Chinese soil. I am afraid that China's history will be completely rewritten from now on.

And most importantly, henceforth it is possible to increase the sense of honor of the army. And a sense of honor can bring morale.

During the First Sino-Japanese War, the equipment of the Qing army was no worse than that of the devils, but as long as the devils launched a white-knuckle assault, they could defeat the Qing army immediately. When it came time for the bald headmaster to fight with the devils, the disadvantage of weapons and equipment was extremely great, and the Chinese soldiers could instead use white-knuckle combat to assault the devils. After all, it was the time when the military uniform shiny.

As for what to do when the land is sealed in the future, this world is very big, can you go out and grab the land? It was not until this moment that Liu Bei found the direction of the future.

In this reward, Liu Bei gave everyone a title deed of the grange, a register used to prove his identity as a "scholar", because it was made of yellow paper, so it was also called a yellow book. Fortunately, after many experiments, we finally made paper with better quality and lower price. Otherwise, one person has a bamboo slip, and this workload will be large. Originally, Liu Bei wanted to send an iron seal to one person, but the time was in a hurry and it was too late to build it.

Outside the plain city, in the school field, more than 10,000 tigers stood solemnly in the cold wind. A neat phalanx of 10,000 people was laid out.

Before this 10,000 tigers, there was a three-foot-high wooden platform, about two or three hundred square meters, and the front of the platform was colored with red cloth. Liu Bei sat on a chair in the middle, which is still called the Hu chair. Many civil and military generals sat on both sides, and they all sat on Hu chairs.

Liu Bei has the title deed on his left hand and the yellow book on his right. A small official on the stage with a roster in his hand. Read the names on the roster aloud according to the list.

Under the stage, there are ten big men with loud voices on the left and right, shouting roll calls there, and every name recited by the officials on the stage, it was repeated by the twenty big men in the audience.

Everyone's name was shouted by these twenty humanoid loudspeakers, and it was not an easy job.

After the name was read, ten people rushed up to the stage, all of whom knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Bei. Everyone was trembling, even themselves, and they could not have imagined that they would one day become scholars.

Some of these people were born as domestic slaves, some were farmers who farmed, some were recruits recruited by Taishan, and some were state soldiers from Qingzhou. However, now they have a unified new identity "Shi".

Liu Bei comforted them one by one, pronounced their names, made them scholars, accepted them as retainers, and then gave them the title deed and yellow book.

When the canonization was over, the ten people stood up, bowed their hands and saluted, and said: "Thank you for the great kindness of the lord, and I am willing to serve the lord, go to the soup and fire, and never give up!" "It's all good lines.

Before they came up, someone had already told them that after they were sealed, their identities would be different. From now on, when they see Liu Bei again, they don't need to bow down except for particularly important formal occasions. This is also to improve the sense of honor of the military.

The canonization ceremony lasted for several hours and did not end until noon, and after lunch, it was followed by the afternoon. Ten people were sealed as soldiers at a time, and a thousand people were sealed a day, for more than ten days in a row. They are to pronounce their names aloud and make them "scholars." By the time the ceremony was over, Liu Bei's voice was hoarse.

became a scholar, not only land, yellow books, but also domestic slaves. The source of the house slaves is naturally the captives of the Yellow Turban Army, and they are all scholars, so they can't still farm their own land. You only need to practice martial arts hard and follow Lao Tzu to fight the world.

In this era, it is impossible to achieve national prosperity. If you want to make your soldiers better, you have to squeeze others. As for the Yellow Turban prisoners, it was not without a day, and when they had completed five years of slavery, they could become commoners to participate in the tuntian, or they could become tenants of the scholars, but these people were not exempt from conscription and oral endowments.

Not only that, Liu Bei also appointed Cui Meng as the general of the pawn farmer, and specially instructed these people on how to farm.

"The lord really treats us as brothers, let's work well for the lord and create a peaceful and prosperous world."

After the seal, these new scholars were all talking about it.

In addition to the title deed, the yellow book and the house slaves, Liu Bei also prepared a book for everyone.

A book of scholars.

Thank you for sending so many flowers.
