When Zhang Jun listened to the report of Chen Zhen, who joined the army, and learned that his subordinates recruited troops to form private soldiers, he was really angry in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info used the money and food of the Zhang family to support other families' private armies, which had to be done when the brain was in water.

However, when he forced himself to calm down, he began to rethink the question. First of all, what is the purpose of his subordinates doing this? If it is to expand his power, then Zhang Jun will suppress it without mercy; But if it is only because of the limitations of the times, out of the so-called unspoken rules or inertia, then it is understandable.

There is never a trivial matter in the affairs of the army, and if one is not handled well, all his preparations and efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, Zhang Jun still has confidence in himself and his subordinates. Now that there are soldiers in the army who have combat ability, they are either brought out by him, or they have received his great favor, Zhang Jun really doesn't believe it, who can steal the military power under his nose!

In fact, when it comes to the tribal system, it is really not a flood beast, and it is not without merit, otherwise it would not have existed for hundreds of years. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the origin of the tribals was more complicated, mainly from the clan townships and protégés, and many of them were recruited by themselves, and even the imperial court would take the initiative to reward the courtiers for the sake of appeasement and redemption rights.

So, at this time, the number of parts is quite impressive. Each town has a tribe, and there are tens of thousands, which is not a lie.

For the clan itself, the main role of these tribes is to "defend the court", and the people defend their homeland, of course, it is just. In addition, the generals of the Jin court sat on the trilogy and also contributed to the Northern Expedition. Take Zu Ti, who had just passed away, as an example, when he was on the Northern Expedition, Sima Rui appointed him as the assassin of Yuzhou, only giving 1,000 people food and 3,000 pieces of cloth, not giving armor, and "making self-recruitment". Zu Ti "still crossed the river with more than 100 families of the original disciples", and based on these more than 100 tribes, "stationed in Jiangyin, set up and cast weapons, and got more than 2,000 people and then advanced." ”

Therefore, from an objective point of view, the benefits of the tribal system cannot be ignored.

But Zhang Jun is a time-traveler, he knows the direction of history, and he can also peek into the inferiority in the depths of the roots of various systems. That's why he hated the tribal system and didn't allow his army to appear in the tribal system.

In the history that Zhang Jun is familiar with, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties experienced a long period of division, during which the Southern Dynasties carried out several large-scale northern expeditions, but all failed for various reasons. The end result was that the culturally backward and economically underdeveloped North unified the South, which was highly culturally prosperous and economically prosperous. Why is that? Isn't it worth reflecting on by the Han people?

In the previous life, Zhang Jun read history and found that it was not that the Southern Dynasty did not have good generals, nor that all the rulers were mediocre, but the result was suffocating, and the reason for this was that there were so-called geographical factors, but the more important problem was the middle class of the Southern Dynasty.

The landlords of the Southern Dynasty were already too powerful, and they could be officials for generations, so they monopolized the road to Jinshi; You can have a large estate, and you can have plenty of financial resources; You can recruit your own troops, and you can form your own arm. Although there was a similar dock organization in the Northern Dynasties, it began to disintegrate after the continuous reform of the Northern Dynasty government. The gate lords of the Southern Dynasties always held an independent economic system and private armed forces.

The excessively strong middle class makes it impossible for the central government to effectively issue and implement the decrees of the state, and instead competes with the state for land and population. The yeoman peasants under the direct control of the state continued to go bankrupt and became tenants and subordinates of the gentry lords. The huge group of tribes not only produced for the nobles, but also provided them with armed military

Prop up.

Therefore, the existence and development of a large number of subordinate private soldiers has become a strong economic producer and armed military supporter of the Shi clan gate lords, providing conditions for frequent regime changes during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and affecting the process of national unification.

All in all, in Zhang Jun's eyes, the development of the subordinate private military system has greatly weakened the military force composed of state soldiers. Military generals and local governors in various localities recruited their troops to develop private armed forces, which contributed to the expansion of local power. At the same time, the local generals recruited troops to expand their own forces and form local powerful factions. With the gate valve as the foundation, the manor to provide an independent economic source, and the large number of tribes in their hands, they have become a country within a country. Some generals often use their subordinates as political capital, and if necessary, they can raise troops to threaten the central government.

This kind of system that turns back history and even threatens Zhang's rule in Liangzhou, how can Zhang Jun tolerate it?

After pacing back and forth in the room for a while, Zhang Jun felt that there was no need to take drastic actions for the time being. His subordinates remain loyal and reliable, and cannot be suspected without warrantious suspicion. But if this problem is not solved, sooner or later it will become a big trend.

After a long time, Zhang Jun turned to Chen Zhen who was standing aside and said: "I ordered you to join the army, I originally planned to expand the scope of authority for joining the army after everything was on the right track, and even set up a division of military planning and guards, this department is not only in charge of logistics and military staff, but also responsible for the general's guard affairs······"

When Chen Zhen heard this, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but ask carefully: "The lord said to the humble post a few days ago, the post of joining the army is designed to be a major event in your plan, I don't know if it is the establishment of the 'Joining the Army Planning and Guarding Division'?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Who knows that the plan can't catch up with the changes, it seems that this plan will be carried out in advance······"

After that, Zhang Jun looked directly into Chen Zhen's eyes and asked, "Are you willing to take on this great responsibility?" ”

Chen Zhen's heart jumped violently, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, he immediately fell to the ground, and said loudly: "The lord has a life, and he will never shirk his humble position!" ”

"Good!" Zhang Jun asked Chen Zhen to stand up, and then called the guards in charge of the guards outside the door, and ordered: "Go and pass on Shi Songpei, who is engaged in driving, and Shi Suofu, who is engaged in Zhizhong, to see me!" ”

"No!" The guards received the order and walked away quickly.

Within a moment, Song Pei and Suo Fu came together, and when the two of them saw that Chen Zhen was also there, they naturally understood that the lord summoned him for the sake of the army.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Jun didn't say a word about military affairs, and first asked about disaster relief.

Song Pei took the lead in reporting: "My lord, in the past few days, the cash-for-work has achieved remarkable results, and farmers in some areas have rebuilt their homes and begun to rush for seeds; It's just that the grain and grass brought by the Governor's Mansion are running out, and the people who go to Jinxing County to buy grain are also in trouble. In addition, there is a shortage of herbs and a shortage of doctors······"

Zhang Jun asked: "Let's talk about the grain purchase in Jinxing County first, what problems do you encounter?" ”

Song Pei said: "At present, the state has learned that the big river is flooding, and the price of food is rising. Although the general ordered all localities to stabilize grain prices, the effect was not great, and the wealthy families were unwilling to sell grain easily, and only waited for the official warehouse to be exhausted before selling it at a high price. ”

Zhang Jun frowned, and said in his heart that even if the state has a bumper harvest year after year, if you can't get in and out of this green and yellow time, I'm afraid it will hurt your muscles and bones.

At this moment, Song Pei whispered: "There is one thing, maybe there is a turnaround." ”

"What?"

"There is a merchant in Jinxing County, and he must meet the governor of Dadu before he is willing to sell grain."

"Oh?" Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows, very interested, and said: "Check it out first, if there is no problem, it doesn't hurt to see each other." ”

"No." Song Pei said yes.

"What's the deal with herbs?"

Song Pei continued: "The official of the Medicine Supervision Department came to report that the stock of herbs was about to run out, and the doctors were not enough. ”

"That's ······ Then the folk physicians will be recruited first, and the medicinal materials will only be the most important purchase. Zhang Jun frowned.

"Yes." Song Pei said: "The humble position has been explained, but chalk is not easy to make, it is very tight, and you can't buy too much." ”

"Chalk?" Zhang Jun was puzzled: "Jun has never heard of it, what is it?" ”

Song Pei had to introduce: "Chalk, whose original name is mirage, was originally obtained by piling up oyster shells on the seashore and burning them or burning them in a kiln. According to "Zhou Li, Qiu Guan, Si Kou": "The Chi Ya clan removes the wall house, attacks it with mirage, sprinkles poison with ash, and removes its raccoon insects in every crevice house. It's very useful in epidemic prevention. ”

After Zhang Jun heard this, his heart suddenly had a familiar feeling of this so-called chalk, but he couldn't grasp it. Suddenly asked: "The chalk that Zeqing said is white, but the white lime that is heated by water?" ”

Song Pei was surprised: "It turns out that the lord also knows that chalk comes from burning stones. ”

Zhang Jun not only knows that it will be familiar to any modern person, because this chalk is limestone, which is the main raw material for making cement!

Seeing Song Pei continued: "There are too few oyster shells, so the ancestors have replaced them with limestone, but in fact, the effect is still the same." As far as Zeqing knows, the lime kiln in our western soil has been in existence since the Han Dynasty. “

At this time, Zhang Jun also suddenly recalled that Zhang Hua in the Jin Dynasty wrote the book "Naturalist Chronicles", which has a paragraph of "burning white stone to make white ash, both finished, accumulating on the ground, cold for the day, and burning more when it rains and water, and the smoke and flames rise." Isn't it clear that "white lime" is made by burning "white stone?"

Suddenly, Zhang Jun had a sense of being harmed by later generations through the novel, so many protagonists of the story will invent burning lime to make cement when they return to various dynasties, but there is no need to invent this thing at all, and the phenomenon of heating up when it encounters water has also been discovered, that is, it is not clear whether there is such a thing as cement. But after all, cement was produced in the ancient Roman era in the West, and China can burn lime, so there is no reason why there is no cement.

Immediately, Zhang Jun ordered: "The firing of lime should be intensified, and if the lime kiln is not enough, it will be expanded, and all the costs will be borne by the Governor's Office." Anyway, the more lime, the better, you know? ”

"No!" Although Song Pei didn't know that the lord was so concerned about lime, he still agreed to it simply.

I was a little depressed, but suddenly I got better because of the appearance of lime. Zhang Jun seemed to see countless fortresses made of cement rising on the land of Liangzhou, which was a militaristic weapon!

However, he is not from science and engineering after all, and how cement is made is good to think about, it is best to find merchants from Rome (called Daqin at this time), they must know very well. If not, the Sassanids should be able to, after all, they control the channel of communication between China and the West.

Noticing that Suo Fu, who was summoned by himself, was still standing aside, Zhang Jun turned to him again and said, "Suo Zhizhong, are you still used to it?" ”

"Back to the words of the Grand Duke." Sofu bowed down and said: "The only way to do your best is to do your best······"

"Good one, do your best!" Zhang Jun praised: "If everyone does their best, Guangwu will be prosperous, and a credit to your Suo family is indispensable!" ”

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Sofu said.

Waving his hand, Zhang Jun asked, "Is there a specific number for the wealthy family property that was liquidated before?" ”

Suo Fu was in charge of the Cao documents, and reported on this natural treasure: "The confiscated property of the wealthy family is too huge, and it has not yet been completed, according to the current results, there are more than 2 million stones of grain, 3 million yuan of money, and 400,000 acres of land······

The surname of the wealthy family is really fat, if it weren't for the fear of rebellion everywhere, Zhang Jun really wanted to search all the wealthy families!

"Is the counting of acres completed?"

Sofu replied, "It's done!" ”

"That's good!" Zhang Jun stood up and said, "Zeqing, I'll report in detail about the medicine when I come back, Suo Zhizhong and Chen join the army, and the two of you will go with me." By the way, Suozhizhong, you bring the 400,000 acres of land deeds! ”

"No!" All three were commanded.

Zhang Jun walked out and said, "I want to see if those rabbit cubs dare to turn the sky upside down!" ”

On the other side, in the new military camp of Guangwu County, a group of generals were gathered, and they were sitting in circles, talking about the affairs of the trilogy.

Among the many generals, there were four people sitting respectively, namely Han Hu, Wang Meng, Zhou Tong and Hu Shuo. Among them, Han Hu had the most people, Wang Meng had the least, and Zhou Tong and Hu Shuo's subordinates were in one place.

Since the beginning of the conscription, there have been divisions in the army, with Han Hu suggesting the selection of elite troops, Wang Meng being vague, and Zhou Tong and Hu Shuo opposing. The latter two were originally from the trilogy, and they understood better what Han Hu's purpose was in asking for the trilogy, so it was strange that they could agree.

Wang Meng is the most rootless, he just wants to express his opinion, and no one pays attention to it. So, it was a stalemate. He also thought about reporting the situation to the Metropolitan Governor, but this kind of small report nature can be done by anyone, but he can't do it. He knew that once this kind of thing was discovered, there would be no need to mix in the conscription army in the future.

I only heard Han Hu say: "A certain family has been in the army since childhood, and now it has been more than ten years, which general has no department?" Why don't you both? ”

"!" Hu Shuo shouted: "The head of my family gives money and food to support your Han family's soldiers, you are plotting against you!" ”

"Full of nonsense!" Han Hu scolded back: "Lao Tzu was born and died with the young general, I don't know how many bearded dog heads you have beheaded, where is your place to speak?" ”

"Sting!" Hu Shuo suddenly ripped open his placket, revealing his furry chest, only to see that it was densely covered with scars, and he shouted: "Open your dog's eyes wide and see clearly, these are all left by killing Hu!" ”

"Are you the only one who has been injured?" Han Hu also took off his shirt, pointed to the scar and said, "Look at it, there are more than who!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were about to take off naked, a cold voice sounded from outside Zhang: "Compared with the scars here, why don't you think about the brothers who died in battle?" ”

After hearing the sound, everyone present turned around one after another, only to see Zhang Jun walking in with a helmet and armor, followed by Shi Suofu and Chen Zhen, who was engaged in Zhizhong.

A cadre of generals hurriedly bowed, Zhang Jun did not shout to them to get up, but led the two behind him through it, walked to the main seat and sat down, looked at the subordinates who knelt on the ground coldly, and said: "What, is the conquest over, don't you have to do something?" ”

Seeing that his subordinates were stunned and did not react, Zhang Jun slapped the table and said angrily: "The generals will stay, and the others will get out of here!" ”

When the low-ranking generals heard this, they fled as if they had been granted amnesty, but they did not disperse, but gathered outside the tent to listen to the foot of the wall.

I only heard the voice of the major general from inside: "From today onwards, I will personally sit in the army, if there is anything, I will make it clear now!" ”
