Five days later, the new Dong Zhonglang will go to work, and he is Guo Bin's acquaintance, Hedong Taishou Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo is a good man, he tastes Youqiangzhong, and his sex is rough and strategic. And he was not only physically strong and powerful, but also proficient in martial arts, riding on a horse, and being able to carry two bows and arrows to shoot left and right. Therefore, anyone who can leave a name in history is not a fluke. Du Yuesheng, a well-known Shanghai gangster in modern Chinese history, was nicknamed "Fruit Yuesheng" because of his good knife skills in cutting Yali pears with one hand.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was appointed by Hedong Taishou as the general of Dongzhonglang. Taishou ranks 2,000 stones, and Zhonglang will rank more than 2,000 stones. The Han County Shou Yu Lu is two thousand stones, that is, one hundred and twenty times a month; And more than 2,000 stones, it is the moon valley hundred. Don't underestimate the gap between the 20 taels of corn, which is not only a gap in actual interests, but also a gap in status.

"Hanshu Legal Chronicles" records: "Those who measure are Gong, He, Sheng, Dou, and Hu, so the amount is also ...... The two are combined, ten are liters, ten liters are buckets, and ten buckets are hu. ”

Hu is a kind of measuring instrument, which is cylindrical with a straight mouth and straight wall, with a flat bottom and a handle on each side of the abdomen. The size of the Eastern Han Dynasty is 24.5 high, 36 diameter, 34.4 bottom diameter, and 22.6 cm deep. According to the measurement of millet by the Weights and Measures History Group of the National Bureau of Metrology on June 1, 1976, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the capacity of a Hu was 20,420 milliliters, that is, 20.42 liters.

According to the historians' research on the "Juyan Han Jian", it can be roughly known that the monthly ration of the soldiers in the northwest frontier of the Han Dynasty was about three stones, three buckets and three liters. Shi and Hu are the same, and twenty Hu is equivalent to a month's ration for six border soldiers. In order to encourage the families of the soldiers to go to their homes in Yan'an, the families also gave rations, so there was a "family name". However, the food rations for family members are much less than those for regular soldiers: one stone per month for those aged one year, one stone and six buckets per month for those aged two to ten years, and two stone and six buckets per liter for those over seventeen years old. Therefore, it can be known that the rations of three stones, three buckets and three liters per month for the border guards must have a surplus.

On the front line, the food that the soldiers can distribute in their hands will definitely not be so much.

Therefore, even if you became a provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty, Taishou, with your 120 corn per month, you can only feed 36 border troops. If you add a few subordinate officials who are definitely more than the soldiers, your family may not have enough to eat.

And to do this as an official, most of them are big landlords and wealthy families who have land at home, and no one cares about the twenty hundreds of corn. However, what officialdom values most is seniority, and the gap between 2,000 stone and 2,000 stone is really big.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo went from being too shou in Hedong with 2,000 stones to being a general in Dongzhong Lang with 2,000 stones, which can be said to be demoted. However, in terms of the status and real power of the two, they have been reversed.

Taishou is the highest administrator of a county, in addition to governing the people, advancing the virtuous, adjudicating lawsuits, and prosecuting adultery, he can also appoint and dismiss his subordinate Peng Shi on his own; The Zhonglang General is the military attaché, Qin Zhizhonglang, to the Western Han Dynasty is divided into five officials, left and right, and each Zhonglang will lead the emperor's guards, which belongs to Guangluxun.

In the one hundred and five counties of the Han Dynasty, there were one hundred and five county Taishou and the prime minister, and there were only three Zhonglang generals in the world who could lead the army to exterminate the Yellow Turban.

In this way, the comparison is much clearer, the rank of Taishou is half a level higher than that of Zhonglang, and he is the chief executive of a place, in charge of civil affairs; Although the rank of General Zhonglang is half a level lower, he is the commander of the emperor's guards, and his status is extremely respectful. If it is changed to today's words, Taishou is about the same as today's mayor. If Guangluxun is compared to the director of the Central Guard Bureau, Zhonglang General is equivalent to the commander of the Central Guard Battalion under the Central Guard Bureau.

However, don't underestimate this central guard battalion, it is a division-level establishment, most of the military ranks are major generals, and their subordinates are the legendary "Zhongnanhai bodyguards".

If this is an analogy, Zhonglang will actually be a very trusted minister of the Son of Heaven, although the name is not very high, but extremely noble, is the "central person". Therefore, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Jun were worshiped as Zhonglang generals, and it was more of an honor to lead the army to exterminate the Yellow Turban. Moreover, if the performance is appropriate, it will often be promoted after returning to the court, which is also a promotion model in a sense from the central government to the localities, and then from the local to the central government.

Therefore, the gold content of Dong Zhuo, a Zhonglang general, is much higher than that of Hedong Taishou. There is no need to ask, Guo Bin can know with his heels that Dong Zhuo's promotion must have a noble person behind him, and this noble person must be He Jin.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo at this time is a high authority and proud. However, either out of the reserve that a high-ranking official should have, or out of fear of Lu Zhi's identity, Dong Zhuo showed extreme humility. And after seeing Guo Bin, he focused on accepting it, so that Guo Bin, who had only seen him once in He Jinfu, was very flattered, at least on the surface.

Now that the successor has arrived, Lu Zhi has no reason to stay in the camp. Therefore, Guo Bin escorted Lu Zhi to the capital that day, and Liu Bei was not treated by Dong Zhuo because of his white body, so he also accompanied him all the way, serving Lu Zhi very diligently.

In fact, Dong Zhuo first wanted Guo Bin to stay in the army to serve, and logically speaking, Guo Bin should also stay in the Guangzong army. Why? Because Guo Bin and Liu Bei's identities are different, Liu Bei is white, he enters the army to help, it is moral, and he is also free to go after he finishes his work.

And Guo Bin is the Marquis of Fulong Pavilion who was personally appointed by the Son of Heaven, and commanded the 700 cavalry of the Yue Cavalry Battalion with the cavalry captain, which is a serious official army that can no longer be serious, and the soldiers under his command, although he recruited it himself, is a real central army. The Central Army must have the responsibilities and responsibilities of the Central Army, and it must have the discipline of the Central Army. Guo Bin came to Guangzong City to be sent by Huangfu Song, and his name was justified. And if you insist on escorting Lu Zhi into Beijing, it is not justified, and it is a bit pampered and arrogant.

Fortunately, he has a relationship with Dong Zhuo, and He Jin's face is also in it. Knowing that Guo Bin was not at ease with Lu Zhi's safety, but there were also thieves everywhere along the way, and there were many dangers, Dong Zhuo was happy to be a good person, and gave Guo Bin a general order, and escorted the former Beizhong Lang Lu Zhi into Beijing all the way, and there must be no mistake. In this way, Guo Bin justifiably escorted Lu Zhi south to Beijing, which shows that sometimes a little relationship can save a lot of trouble.

Xiao Huangmen, who came to deliver the message, was very knowledgeable, not only knowing Lu Zhi's status in Shilin, but also knowing that Guo Bin did not take himself and the hundred Yulin elites he brought in his eyes, and he cooperated with Guo Bin very much along the way. Guo Bin said he would leave, and when he said stop, he would stop, and he didn't even put a shackle on Lu Zhi.

The so-called "shackles" are also called "weapons", and the so-called "weapons" means "shackles", that is, they are handcuffed and shackled. "桎" is a wooden flail, and "梏" is a wooden handcuff. As long as the escort does not let the prisoner go, it is okay not to wear shackles on the way, so Xiao Huangmen's move is not a violation.

However, Guo Bin is also very appreciative, except for walking a little slower every day, everything else is covered.

Guo Bin's 700 cavalry, plus 150 guards, plus the 100 elite of Yulin who escorted Lu Zhi with the Xiaohuangmen, more than 900 people slowly marched from the official road to the capital. Generally speaking, it takes about an hour to walk until after nine o'clock in the morning, and when the weather is a little hot at ten o'clock, the order is given to set up camp, and the people begin to enjoy the food to their heart's content. In the afternoon, it is always past four o'clock, and the sun is gradually setting in the west, and the party is pulling out, and after walking for an hour, you will have to camp again, so the journey is really slow.

Because most of the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army were facing siege and confrontation by the officers and soldiers, some small rogue bandits along the way saw Guo Bin and his party, who were both numerous and extremely well-equipped, and all of them were cavalry, so no one dared to come to find them uncomfortable. Therefore, along the way, Guo Bin's army either took out pickled jerky, or sent soldiers to scatter early to hunt birds and beasts, and raised a lot of Yulin elites to make their appetites very poor.

You must know that even in Luoyang City, the capital division, even a medium-sized family is not able to eat meat every day, and a position that is not very rich in oil and water is a high-ranking official, and he may not have the money to buy meat to eat. Because the prices in Beijing are expensive, and the people are all good-looking, although they are quite particular about dressing, they don't care so much about eating that outsiders can't see.

Moreover, the more high-ranking officials are, the more they must pay attention to pomp, have servants and maids to decorate the façade, some have to support subordinate officials, and some have to beware of poor relatives who come to fight the autumn breeze, and life is even more sad. Moreover, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, corruption should not be too presumptuous, otherwise people will be caught and punished with a fine, dismissal from their post or punishment at a serious level, which will be unbearable.

Do you think that the people in Beijing are like local fools and fools, cowardly and easy to deceive? Don't you see, even taxi drivers in Beijing can say one, two, or three about high-level politics? The Eastern Han Dynasty has been inherited for more than 200 years, and there are very few people who are really destitute in Beijing, even those from poor families, and most of them are down-and-out officials or children of wealthy businessmen.

Therefore, at this time, the literacy rate of the people in Luoyang, the capital of Beijing, was undoubtedly the highest in the Han Dynasty, and even Yingchuan County was beyond reach. It is extremely reasonable to say that "it is not easy to live in the capital". Because you don't know which old man basking in the sun at the mouth of the alley is actually a retired major general, or the lady who sells Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market is actually the "poor relative" of a high-ranking official. If it weren't for the really powerful lord, whoever was in the capital would have to walk leisurely.

These elite Yulin who have been holding back in Beijing all the year round, with Guo Bin's troops, they are eating and playing happily. In the army, Guo Bin set the rules that he was not allowed to drink, prostitutes, or gamble. Therefore, the entertainment became singing. Within a few days, Guo Bin's most widely circulated and popular "Men Should Be Self-Reliant" was learned by these Yulin elites.

To say that they haven't heard this song, but after all, it's hearsay, either from the businessmen who have connections with Yangzhai County, or where did they hear it from the young ladies in the Goolan, where is the authentic song sung by Guo Bin's army? You must know that the songs of this era have neither tapes nor CDs, let alone cool dogs, and if you want to learn to sing, you can only pass them on by word of mouth. Therefore, being able to sing is also a sign of being well-informed, and it is an amazing skill.

In this way, these 100 Yulin elites came to Guangzong this time, in addition to harvesting food and a set of Yangzhai County military uniforms per person, the biggest gain is probably to learn this song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", which is also very popular in Beijing.
