Chapter 23: Entering the Palace 3

The cold field was half loud, and after a while, the court was chattering. Even if the king doesn't kill himself, Zhu Yin is still on guard in his heart, for hundreds of years, when has the old man not been deceived? Zhao Huang was dumbfounded, he never thought that whoever had more armor would be able to be Ling Yin, if so, Zhao Huang, Qu Shi, and Jing Shi could not compare to these county Gongyi Yin because they did not have fiefdom counties.

"Great King, let Yin Nai live in a talented and virtuous person, how can he have a relationship with whose armor is the most or less? If this matter is spread to the world...... if this matter is spread to the world...... "Zhao Huang has passed it twice, but nothing has come out." He was full of grievances in his heart, especially when he saw Song Yu's expression unchanged, he felt that he was abandoned by the king, not only him, but also the Zhao, Jing, and Qu clans were all abandoned by the king.

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." Qu Sui also said. He knew that the county was not diligent and the kingdom would inevitably be adjusted, but he never expected such an adjustment. "I am the only one in the world Chu and Qi who have the most prosperous literary style, if the selection order Yin only evaluates the armor and not the virtuous, it will be chaotic."

"Tell the king:" Yin of Xiyang said: "This policy is not appropriate, if someone thinks that a five-foot person is a soldier......"

"The king has an order," Yi Su took out a booklet and said loudly: "Whoever can be a soldier must be assessed according to the standards of the Fu Division of the War Department of the Great Sima Mansion." Based on the current situation of our Chu State, those who are over forty years old cannot be a soldier; Those who are shorter than seven feet (Chu ruler, 157.5cm) cannot be ...... for armor."

After Yi Su finished speaking, a military official erected a seven-foot-high wooden ruler in the middle court, and when he saw the height of the wooden ruler, Zhu Yin was secretly worried. Yi Su then said: "Those whose people are less than 200 catties (50KG) cannot be a soldier; ”

'Boom! Half of the trebuchet iron bullet was placed in the middle court, and although it was lightly placed, the floor was still shaken.

"Those with a chest circumference of less than three feet five inches (78.7 cm) are not allowed to be armored;" Yi Su said again, and someone took out a wooden ruler. "A person with a lung volume of less than fifteen liters (3,375 milliliters) shall not be a soldier;"

Not to mention the pre-Qin period, there was no lung qi before modern times. Fortunately, measuring lung capacity is very simple, just use a transparent glass bottle and put it upside down in water. Lung capacity is related to endurance and weight-bearing, so Xiong Jing added it to the basic requirements of a soldier. Soon someone brought in the sink and blew air on the glass bottle.

"In addition to the armor, there are knights. According to the approval of the Operations Division, one heavy cavalry is equal to 12 armor soldiers, one light cavalry is equal to six armor soldiers, and one honor soldier is equal to 10 armor soldiers. "After the basic standards of the armor soldier were finished, Yi Su threw out other arms, and the armor soldier basically became a combat effectiveness unit." The armor is like this, after the counties and towns become an army, they need to fight with the soldiers, the strong add points, the weak ones subtract points, and finally evaluate the county's armor geometry. ”

"This combat power assessment is a book for each county on the day, and the combat power assessment is all in it." Xiong Jing took out the booklet in Yi Su's hand and said. "The person who evaluates is selected by each county and town, and is decided by drawing lots on the spot, so as not to be unfair."

After saying this, Xiong Jing looked at Zhao Huang and Qu Sui, "This matter is in a hurry and cannot be discussed." However, I don't think that in today's world, the armor is the first, if the country does not exist, what is the use of the style? It's a pity that the Zhao, Qu, and Jing clans have no fiefdoms, and there are not many private soldiers. ”

"This ......" Zhao Huang and Qu Sui's cold hearts instantly warmed, it is indeed a great favor to grant the people and fiefs like this, and to seal them in Jiangdong Yuedi. The two bowed and said, "Thank you to the king." ”

"Thank you to the king." Song Yu also thanked him. Outside of Qu Jingzhao's three clans, the Song clan and the Nao clan did not have much ambition, so Xiong Jing did not consult with Qu Jingzhao's three clans but consulted with them.

"Dare to ask the king, Taifu ordered Dr. Yin Qu to seal Jiangdong, what should I do?" It is also a grant of people and a fief, and the Zhuyin people immediately turned red, and they still don't know how to arrange the counties under their jurisdiction.

"What are you waiting for?" Xiong Jing looked at these people. These old husbands have become very slippery in the past few hundred years, otherwise it is impossible to keep their position, and the good life has been too long, it is not so simple to put them all in, integrate them into the foreign dynasty system and serve them with all their might. Xiong Jing was silent for a while before he said: "You wait with Yushi to practice the contracting system." ”

"Contracting?" No one has ever heard of the word contracting.

"Yes, yes." Xiong Jing nodded, he knew that Zhu Yin didn't understand. "The meaning of the contract is that the county is still owned by the king, but you can be the county Yin and the Yi Yin for generations, and you will never stop passing on the rules and grandchildren, as long as you do not break the contract."

"Dare to ask the king, what is the agreement?" The feudal monarch will only receive the land for the third generation, and if the county does not operate, it may be deposed tomorrow. It seems that such a contract is better than a feudal king, which is almost equivalent to a feudal seal.

"It's all on this book." Xiong Jing showed out another booklet, which was thinner than the combat power assessment manual.

Zeng Fang, Cheng Jie and others took it over for a while, Cai Wen coughed, and the booklet was quickly handed over to Cai Wen, but unfortunately Cai Wen was old and had bad eyes, and he didn't read a word after reading it for a long time, so he really wanted to kill Yin Gong.

"Let's not pick up the important ones." Xiong Jing saw that they were so struggling that he had to speak. "First, you must not betray Chu or sell Chu for profit;"

Xiong Jing said a word of nonsense. Once the county is contracted, who doesn't just care about their own interests? But he believed that Qin Guo couldn't buy it, and even if it did, things would be messed up. This is determined by the county organization itself, and the county organization cannot tolerate any heterogeneous organization within it. Once it exists, the farts will open their eyes to know that there is another different world, and their hearts will yearn for it, and as a result, this heterogeneous organization will quickly festering the entire county organization like a stinger.

Of course, it is allowed to be divided into long-term and short-term, and the short-term is naturally tolerable, but the problem is that there are Han and Wei in front of the Chu State. With Han Wei's current pro-Qin level, it is likely that he will be annexed by the Qin State without spending a single soldier. Before annexing Han and Wei, Qin naturally had to promise a lot of benefits, and it was very possible to allow the kings of Han and Wei to keep a small piece of their fiefdoms. But such a generous promise, once Han Wei was induced to open the gate of the capital, welcoming the Qin army into the city would immediately become invalid.

The four kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, Qi, and Yan could watch that once the Qin State did this to Han Wei, they would never have the mind to compromise. However, this still depends on the efforts of Pisi, so that the conspiracy of the Qin State can be widely known.

"Second, Yin was elected by Zhuqing and Yushi in foreign dynasties, and the one who won the most armor was the winner. Once chosen, even if someone cheats, they have to accept defeat, and in the future, Yin's life will be like a king's order, and he will accept it and act quickly. Xiong Jing said the second one.

"My lord, this is unfair." Yin Pengguan of the Juyang in Zhuyin said.

"What's the injustice?" Xiong Jing's momentum suddenly rose, and admitting defeat was the most important thing. "He deceived the enemy during the war, and after you miscalculated, if you lose, you will lose, can you still fight again?"

Peng Jian was speechless by Xiong Jing's refutation, and Xiong Jing said: "It's not that fraud is allowed, but fraud outside the law cannot be prohibited, and you can only negotiate a way to prohibit it next time, just like making money buy Jane." If this miscalculation is outside the law, you can only admit defeat. ”

After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yin and asked, "Do you know?" ”

"Ministers......" Zhu Yin's voices were very untidy, and they were still thinking about the gains and losses of this article. …… Know. ”

"Third, if it is not a natural disaster, if the county has too few soldiers to fight because of you and others, or the soldiers are about to collapse at the touch of a button during the battle, or there is no grain to transport, then the contracting qualification will be cancelled and the clan with good governance will take over." Xiong Jing went on to say the third one.

"Fourth, the county cannot change the law without permission," Xiong Jing said again. As soon as he mentioned changing the law, the eagerness in the eyes of some people dimmed - these people who were stabbed by the heavens, when they were ministers, they desperately prevented Yingdu from changing the law, and once they made their own decisions, all they thought about was changing the law. "And the rights of the honorable and the armor are inviolable, and the rest ......" Xiong Jing sighed and said, "...... No matter. ”

After being silent for a long time, seeing that Xiong Jing had indeed finished speaking, Yin Gong looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the third one, which is more dangerous, the restβ€”yes, there is one honorable man, and the rest is not difficult.

"Dare to ask the king, how is the reputation of the contracted county?" Chengsuke is the most anxious, Xixian is a meritorious person, because the honorary soldier is loyal to the king, he has always greeted him with a smile and a guard in his heart.

"The honor is sealed in Lu." Xiong Jing Road. "Those who do not seal will be given one hundred and fifty stones a year."

There are more than 900 parties and more than 18,000 Lu in the country, and now there are almost 18,000 honorable people, which can be filled. However, in order to solve the problem of the old clan as quickly as possible, more than 40 counties can only be contracted to the old clan. In this way, there will be about six or seven thousand more honorable people. These can only be raised, including the reputation that will be produced in the future. Fortunately, the county officials should not raise it anymore, and it is estimated that the money from the county officials can be used to support the honorable people, and the annual salary is one hundred and fifty stones, which can support 20,000 people.

"How's the armor?" One hundred and fifty stones is not much, and outside of Chengjie, all Yin nodded in unison.

"A soldier shall not arbitrarily increase his taxes and serve in servitude." Xiong Jing said, "If the taxes on salt and iron are increased, the additional taxes paid by the armor shall be refunded." No insults are allowed, and children are allowed to attend school free of charge, ...... are found in all the books. ”

"Dare to ask the king how about the tribute?" Chengjie asked for details, and as soon as Cai Wen opened his mouth, he mentioned a major event: tribute. And the question is very clever, the meaning of tribute is that all the income in the county has nothing to do with Yingdu, and the only thing to honor the king of Yingdu is tribute, which is a mention of a feud, not a feudal.

"The household endowment belongs to Yingdu, and the rest belongs to the county." Xiong Jing looked at him with a smile.

"Ahh Zhu Yin exclaimed again with an irrepressible exclamation. What is Hufu? The household endowment is just a thing of the weed, which is similar to the tribute of the Chu State to Zhou Tianzi in the past, which is completely symbolic. But they won't be surprised for a while, at the moment, Yingdu is afraid that there will be 100,000 gold a year just by relying on the income from building a mansion.

"This, this, this ......" The vast majority of people were happy, but Mu Xin, the general of the three gates of Dabie Mountain, was worried, and the king's posture obviously didn't want to take care of places outside Yingdu. What about the three levels of underworld? ”

Not all places make money, and there are always people who lose money and goods to rely on help, Yi Su looked at him and said: "The three passes of the underworld are decided by the Outer Dynasty and the Great Sima Mansion. ”
