Suppressing thieves and eliminating two evils is what the people of Qi County and even many heroes expect, but in the past, their interests were different, or the fields were concentrated in the north of the county, or the ancestral grave was located in the east of the county, and they did not feel the pain of the thieves in the west and south, and they did not want their strength to suffer, so no matter how many times the Qi County Commander and Lieutenant had organized it, they had worn out their mouths, and they all ended up in vain.

If you want to do this, you have to be a person with a very high status, a great man's awe, and the people's respect, Chang'an Jun just has such conditions, under his orders, the county chief did not dare to shirk, in the next few days, the Qi family and the Wen family let the strong men in the clan come to the county to report, and returned the promised food.

Cai Ze took a group of county officials, holding a slip in one hand and a pen and ink in the other, counted and weighed the carts full of grain and put them into the warehouse, and then found Chang'anjun with the wooden board that recorded the numbers and reported the situation to him.

"The Qi clan paid a total of 1,200 stones, and the Wen clan also paid 600 stones, which exceeded the 1,000 and 500 stones that the lord had apportioned to them......"

Mingyue laughed: "It seems that the deterrence of that night's banquet has worked, at least the heads of all the families in Qi County, not only did they not dare to oppose without opening their eyes, but they also added a lot, they wanted to please me, how much grain did they collect in total?" ”

"Two thousand five hundred stones! Coupled with the remaining grain in the county warehouse, there are nearly 4,000 stones, and when the convoy sent by the lord to Jinyang to buy grain comes back, there will be 6,000 stones in the end! ”

This is already a large amount, although the productivity of the Warring States period is more advanced than the Spring and Autumn Period, it is far worse than that of later generations, Li Kui said back then: "Today, one husband coerces five people, governs 100 acres of land, and harvests one and a half stones a year." It means that the yield of millet per mu is 1.5 stones. After the agricultural reform of the best resources, the yield per mu of Zhao and Wei countries has increased, but it is between 2 stone and 2.5 stone, and it can only reach 3 stone in a good year. You must know that for Zhuang Ding, who does not have too much non-staple food, the amount of food per month is as much as 1.5 stones.

"Six thousand stones, enough for two thousand people to eat for two months." Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, since the grain was put into the warehouse, the problem of eating would be solved, and the next step was to reorganize and train the people who had slowly gathered.

In the matter of recruiting and training soldiers, Mingyue is not familiar with military affairs, and his eyes are basically black, but fortunately, the four black-clothed guards who came with him this time, Gong Zhongyin, Dong Fang, Post Wuxin, and Feiping have all stayed in the army, and have trained with Zhao Kuo.

So Mingyue asked Feiping to be in charge of Shatai County; Gong Zhongyin went to reorganize Ding Zhuang sent by various ethnic groups; Dong Fang and Yu Wuxin went to Xixiang and Nanxiang respectively to recruit people to fill the vacancies of county officials.

Among these three things, the first to come with good news was the Feiping side......

……

Fei Ping is the distant grandson of Zhao Wuling Kingdom, as his name suggests, he is a young fat man with a slight fortune, with a little beard on his cheeks, a pair of squinting eyes, and his eyes are more like a slit when he laughs, which makes people feel very friendly, and there is no majesty that a long official should have.

After accepting the task of the county guards of Shati, Feiping in line with Chang'anjun's policy of "saluting first and then soldiers", first asked all the soldiers to gather, greeted the county guards in a soft voice, and expressed his intentions, and was a little shy in his speech and demeanor.

"Chang'anjun will send troops to suppress thieves, although there are strong men to help each other, but the county soldiers are still the main force, but the county soldiers are uneven, so Chang'an Jun ordered me to inspect and count the roster, and the young and strong will stay, and the old, weak and sick will retreat!"

As soon as these words came out, the county guards talked a lot, and at the moment, the old soldiers, who were a little worried about their unqualified, shouted: "Superior, if you leave the county guard, can you still have money and food supplies?" ”

Fei Ping glanced at him and smiled gently: "When a soldier eats food, if it is not appropriate, it will naturally be gone, although he can't fight, he can do it by plowing the land and farming, isn't the county guard each of them granted a hundred acres of land?" It shouldn't be difficult to feed a family. ”

The man retreated with a bitter face, and when he said this, Fei Ping didn't say much, and announced before the disbandment: "Tomorrow, when the roll call is here, and then the sand will begin, if there is an injury or illness returning home in the future, please report it to me quickly!" Can you remember? ”

"Remember!" The county guards secretly glanced at a few silent centurions, and replied sparsely, and when Feiping left, they all exploded.

"Sha Ti is old and weak? Isn't this to cut us off our bread and our lives? The gray-haired old man said indignantly.

It turned out that none of them were conscripted for free, but were conscripted.

In the Spring and Autumn period, there were no professional soldiers, except for the armed retainers of the nobility. When the two countries were at war, the king called on the secretary of the country, and the secretary called on the soldiers and countrymen in the cities and towns of the territory to be recruited one after another, and it was the duty of the people of the country to fight for the king, and they had to bring their own weapons, armor, food, and change of clothes, and enlist in the army free of charge, and only disbanded and returned to their hometowns after the war was over.

As the war became more and more intense, the scope of conscription expanded from the countrymen in the city to the savages in the countryside, and later, the Qing doctor was replaced by the county bureaucrats, and the people were no longer divided into countrymen and savages. Every healthy man over the age of seventeen, whether he lives in the city or in the countryside, is at risk of being drafted into the army. These people constitute the main force of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, so the wars of this era often count in hundreds of thousands, because a large number of people have been mobilized.

However, after all, the untrained people have limited combat effectiveness, and they are worried about their wives and daughters and fields all day long when they are fighting outside, and sometimes after years of fighting, the weather turns cold, and the wealthy taxis at home can write to their hometowns and ask their mothers to make winter clothes or send money to them. If the family is poor and has no money to buy winter clothes in the military market, they can only freeze. The state only supplies weapons and armor, regardless of everyday clothing. It was really a loss of money and a loss of life, before Shang Ying became a twenty-rank lord of military merit, including the Qin State, these people were not highly motivated to fight.

It wasn't until Wu Qi of Wei formed the first professional army of the nations, Wei Wushu, by recruiting instead of traditional conscription, and later, Qi also began to recruit rangers and warriors with money and silk, which was called technical attack.

Wei Wushu and Qi Jishu are both professional soldiers, and Zhao also has professional soldiers, except for some cavalry in the north, all counties have to recruit some Ding Zhuang as professional soldiers. Generally speaking, it is enough for the inland counties to raise a hundred, and the border counties are slightly more, requiring five hundred, and their combat effectiveness is certainly not comparable to that of Wei Wushu, but once there is a police on the border, they can immediately defend the city.

With the passage of time, there have been some problems with this system, such as some people seem to regard this as a profession inherited from father to son, and have eaten this grain for several generations until they are old and weak, and then let their children and grandchildren replace them, as if they regarded this as an idle errand.

These county officials live on these money and grain subsidies, and if they are deposed, won't they lose a lot of food in vain? went home to farm, but did not do some chores in the county office.

The county guards were a little nervous, but what was even more nervous was a few centurions, because in addition to the old and weak, there was also a serious phenomenon in the county pawns, that is, they hung their names and took the lead to lead the army's food, in the words of later generations, they were eating empty salaries!

This phenomenon is not only in the Zhao State, but also in the Qin State, and the Qin Law also stipulates that "those who do not give money to the army and give them will be punished with two first-class soldiers", this law is specifically aimed at the punishment of false registration and pretending to lead the army's rations, and those who are found to be leading the army's rations will be fined the second grade, and those who are not officials will be fined for two years, and those who take the risk of eating military rations together will also be fined for one year, and the county commanders, county lieutenants, and non-commissioned officers will be fined the first grade.

After King Wuling of Zhao, Zhao Guo also copied this legal text, but the penalty of the second class became the first one, and the rest remained unchanged. However, in some distant frontier areas, this law has become a dead letter under the infiltration of local forces, but now, is Chang'anjun going to start liquidating them?

When several centurions were anxious, one of the oldest and most experienced centurions suddenly said: "In my opinion, this fat flat should be a weak and easy to talk!" ”
