Chapter 401: The Scramble (51)
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, the town guard house is a special product, it is neither in the inland counties, nor popular in the border towns, only in the town of Anxi, four small countries, one country and one town, to obtain is the literal meaning.
There is no country with broken leaves, and what Liu Ji wants is not the kind of semi-restrained system in which two sets of teams are parallel, but a name, opening a government and building teeth, and a feudal town, with this name, he can grasp the military and politics, just like the feudal town a few decades later.
There is no deputy envoy under the town guard! The degree of centralization is even greater than that of moderation.
To put it simply, this town guard mansion is the same as the capital protection mansion, there is a complete set of administrative teams, long history, joining the army, etc., and even better is that these people are all selected by himself, and there is no need to worry that the court will mix sand in it, of course, the court of Tianbao for 12 years has not yet realized the disaster of the feudal town, and he can't think of going up, besides, a small remote military mansion as far away as four or five thousand miles, who will take it to heart, and he can't get along with him.
When he returned to Fengfu from Xingqing Palace, he didn't even have time to officially meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he fell asleep with his head covered in the side compartment, and this sleep reached noon on the second day.
Walking out of the side compartment, he was still a little confused, and he found that people came and went in the Feng Mansion, especially in the front yard, and the lobby was even more crowded, and he even saw Liu Ke and several other children of the Liu family.
"The fifth sister-in-law was very fond of the old lady and was left behind, and the seventh uncle sent us over, one is to inquire about the news, and the other is to see if there is anything to help." Liu Ke, who was standing at the outermost, saw him and immediately greeted him.
Liu Ji was stunned for a while, and then he realized that the fifth sister-in-law in his mouth was Feng Sanniang, who had already passed the door but had not yet had a cave room, and before he could say anything, Feng Changqing walked over with his hands behind his back and glanced at him obliquely.
"Serving her in-laws is a proper duty, and since Sanniang has married, she can't be as careless as before."
"Sealing the ......"
Liu Ji's title was glared at by him as soon as he came out, and he was so frightened that he quickly changed his words: "What Lao Taishan said is extremely true. ”
It's better not to offend a creature like Uncle Yue.
"You've been busy all night?"
Feng Changqing's eyes were bloodshot, and the people in the hall were no better, Cen Shen and Du Fu were writing something with a cadre of scribes, and there was a person sitting in the corner, snoring and snoring, as if no one was around.
"The envoy of the fish refused to go to the wing room to rest, so he had to let him settle here." Feng Changqing explained simply, pointing to a busy figure and said.
"That person is Yuan Gongfu recommended by the prince, and he was the former director of Dali, do you think it is okay to go to your house to take on a law Cao to join the army?"
I have to say that an old man like Feng Changqing can speak, a young official who has just entered the stream, he is the chief official of the North Court and his elder, he can make a decision in one word, but he put on a tone of discussion, Liu Ji pondered for a moment.
"Where did it come from?"
"Dr. Yang's matter offended that one." Feng Changqing's voice was very low: "His wife is the daughter of King Jiedu of Hexi, and it is troublesome to go to ordinary counties, so it was sent to us." ”
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, he added: "He and your father are close friends." ”
Then what else is there to say, even if you raise an idler, you have to accept it.
"Everything is as my father-in-law said."
"Do you have a plan for the next person?"
"The record of joining the army and Hu Cao's joining the army are kept, and the candidates next to him are still looking forward to the help of his father-in-law."
The town guard is a shrunken structure of the capital protectorate, the length of the history is to record the affairs of the army, and there are soldiers, merit, households, laws, warehouses and other departments below, Fa Cao joined the army to take charge of litigation and public security, equivalent to the county public security chief, is a key department, Hu Cao is in charge of the population, acres of land, are important departments that must be in their own hands.
"Okay, transfer some people to put up the shelves first, and then change them when you find a candidate."
In this regard, Feng Changqing showed great trust, to be honest, if Liu Ji didn't let him interfere at all, there would be no problem, but the problem was that he didn't have so many candidates in his hands, this is the advantage of the family, the entire Liu family, there are only a dozen people who are willing to follow him out of the customs, even if everyone can be trained, they can't support such a big shelf, because they have no experience, the best thing to do is to follow an experienced person to experience, and then slowly promote to the top, therefore, for the kindness of the old father-in-law, He was very grateful.
So the future poet saint was so glorious that he joined the army as a gongcao under the Broken Leaf Town Guard, but Liu Ji didn't want him to do that kind of trivial practice, but it was more useful, since Du Fu was recommended to him by Cen Shen, he has been engaged in a job that is unnecessary in everyone's eyes.
Teach his men, who are less than a hundred, to read.
In a country where ninety percent of people are illiterate, if you want to really establish a new system, you need a large number of knowledgeable, educated and loyal people, Liu Ji is still young, and he has time to train his own people, the best way is to start with these reliable subordinates, and then, if he wants to expand this process, he needs more scholars to help, otherwise he can't do it if he is tired.
As for the record of Zuo Shi's participation in the army, it was naturally reserved for Yan Zhuang, the old fox, who believed that with this person's ability, it should be easy to deal with this small military government, if he couldn't even handle this idea, he would be blind to the great reputation in the history books.
"You probably have to take the first step this time, it's not good to take office in vain, so after discussing with them, I formed a team with the two tooth soldiers of Beiting and Anxi, and incorporated them into the Han Navy to make up for their previous battle losses in Tubo, what do you think?"
Liu Ji was stunned, an indescribable ecstasy filled his mind, this is not a trivial matter, two thousand knots of tooth soldiers, he didn't dare to think about it before, but now that they have mentioned it, he finally understands what Cen Shen and others are busy doing, and the dispatch of two thousand military ranks is such a huge project!
"My son-in-law doesn't know what to say, please bow to me."
Feng Changqing was not polite, the new son-in-law returned to the door, this worship was today's daily life, and when he stood up, he sighed leisurely.
"You said that in the main hall, what else can you do?"
Feng Changqing continued: "Yesterday night, the edict sent to Anxi was sent out of the city, with the Duzhi soldiers and horses envoy Li Siye as the main general, and the marching Sima Duan Xiushi as the deputy, mobilizing 10,000 people to gather in Qiuzi, we have lost a lot in Tubo, this idea is already the limit, if Beiting is really lost, only 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yiwu County are left, you must not rush to advance, hold Yizhou, and wait for reinforcements. ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Yue, it won't come to that point." Liu Ji didn't believe that Tingzhou would fall: "Your Majesty promised 5,000 cavalry yesterday, but is it true? ”
Feng Changqing smiled and shook his head: "Speaking of which, this matter is still related to you." ”
Now Liu Ji is a little confused.
