Chapter 521: The military and the government are shoulder-to-shoulder
With all kinds of rewards and a stomach full of questions, Shi Lei ran home with a beautiful face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThese rewards are naturally nothing to Shi Lei today, mainly the glory they represent.
This must be taken back to the farmers in their own homes to see, and also to give them a boost of energy. Now that the little life is good, I naturally value this honor more. Especially those old farmers, they are counting on the exploits of the head of the family to brag about it.
Life is good, you can't show off, your wealth is not exposed, but you have to have something to brag about, in order to show your own master's well, this military exploit blows, is the most sense of accomplishment, isn't it, there is such a powerful family owner, they have more light on their faces.
In front of all the villagers, he recited his reward aloud again, leaving the farmers with happy faces, Shi Lei called his senior staff again, ran to the tea break room, and began to wonder what the emperor's appointment meant. Let Shi Lei think about himself, it's too difficult for him.
Of course, the appointment of the governor of Pingzhou, Shi Lei is still understandable, Pingzhou is not a state like Youzhou, so this position is only from the level of Sanpin. With Shi Lei's hard work this time, he also has the qualifications to be promoted to the rank of third-grade official.
What's more, there are also the merits of saving the emperor's family before, especially the little son, it can be said that Shi Lei was pulled back from the death line, although he has no intention of being arrogant, but Li Shimin must be emotional, and he is still inclined to him, so he can ignore those opposing voices, so that Shi Lei can cross the gap of the fourth grade at the age of 20, and truly step into the top elite layer of the Tang Dynasty, and become a real high-ranking official from the third grade.
Even if the Tang Dynasty can call itself an "old man" at the age of thirty, except for those top imperial relatives, such as the emperor's own son, it is indeed rare for anyone to reach such a high position at this age, and such a promotion speed is extremely rare.
After all, this governor is still an official position in the army, about the same as the local minister of armed forces, or the position of commander of the military region, because the Tang Dynasty has always adopted the ruling strategy of strong cadres and weak branches, including the real elite soldiers, most of them are also in the hands of the Sixteen Guards, mainly distributed in the Guanzhong area around Chang'an, and the governors like Shi Lei are actually relatively idle.
Many of them don't need to be appointed at all, and most of the things are handed over to officials such as Changshi under their hands. Especially those governors, most of them are distributed to the royal family's descendants, and no one cares.
But Shi Lei's appointment is very different, and he actually arranged the position and title of Pingzhou Assassin to him. This can't be said to be an unprecedented precedent, but it is really strange to put it on him as a notoriously brainless pure general.
Although the history of Pingzhou is not a high-ranking official, after all, the level of Pingzhou is certainly not comparable to Youzhou, which is the center of the north, but this history of assassination is the highest local administrator, in the actual sense of the parent official and number one, this responsibility is still very heavy. What's more, this is a civil official position, which is obviously not right with Shi Lei's original path.
However, thinking about the previous examples, you should also be able to see some clues, for example, when Wu Shi Tong was in Lizhou before, he was the governor and the assassin Shi shoulder-to-shoulder, and he was also a powerful character who was in charge of the army on the horse and the people on the horse.
The reason why it is called the Governor of Wudu, rather than the history of the Wu Thorn, is actually derived from the tradition of calling the dynasty all the time, and when calling an official, it is naturally called high or not low. Unless it is in the civil official group, when everyone meets each other to call each other, they may only choose the other party's more noble civil official position to call, or they can simply call the samurai Tong "Wulizhou".
And Shi Lei can now be called "Shi Pingzhou". However, Shi Lei's one-shouldered pick is still a little different from the nature of Wushi Tong, because Lizhou was inland at the time, and there were not many troops, and most of them were restrained by several surrounding military towns, and the official position of governor was still to facilitate his mobilization of local troops and participate in counterinsurgency when necessary.
At that time, the former governor of Lizhou, Li Xiaochang, hadn't he just been clicked, and the party was quite active, so he gave Wu Shi Tong such a right, so that he could pacify the local situation as soon as possible, in essence, Wu Shi Tong was still a civil official.
And Shi Lei's new Pingzhou, it is not difficult to see from the geographical location that it is the capital of Biansai Prefecture, which can be said to be one of the northern barriers of the Tang Dynasty, next to the Great Wall.
Out of the boundary of Pingzhou, it is a territory directly bordering the surrounding Shaomin, and it has been in an unstable state of wartime and war, so Pingzhou is an important bridgehead to resist various alien races in the northeast.
In such a territory, the strength of the border army is naturally much stronger, and Lizhou, which has been peaceful for a long time, is naturally not of the same nature. Therefore, Shi Lei's appointment must have a deep meaning, and it will definitely not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
Obviously, so many things are not something that Shi Lei can think of himself, but some basic common-sense things that Uncle Fan, who is most familiar with officialdom, explained to Shi Lei.
"So why on earth did you put me in this position? It's equivalent to entrusting me with carte blanche in Pingzhou, what do you think about today? I don't dare to pat my chest and say that I can do this errand well, why does he think I have this ability? Shi Lei sighed a little depressed and said.
Just let him be the governor, he must not be afraid at all, he should fight a war, train when he should train, he is familiar with these tasks, and it will not be a big problem to subdue the local border army with his ability, and he is absolutely confident that he will do it well. Even if he really faced those frontier young people, he was about to become the No. 1 fierce general in the sky, and who was afraid of him.
can let him govern the people's livelihood, this is going to be his own life, and he will definitely be blind if he gives him this mess, not to mention all the big and small affairs of a state, and he scratches his head when he thinks about it.
However, several uncles are busy thinking about the deep meaning behind the emperor's arrangement, not to mention that in order to repay Shi Lei's life-saving grace, he deliberately made such a position to promote Shi Lei's stupid words, the emperor will never make this kind of purely emotional arrangement, there must be a certain political significance behind it.
Even a traverser like him Shi Lei didn't feel that he had such a charm, so he asked a Ming monarch like Li Shimin to set up a post for him. So there must be some kind of reason that prompted Li Shimin to make this decision.
"It seems that Imasami is planning to fight Goguryeo!" After pondering for a long time, Uncle Fan clapped his hands violently, raised his head and said affirmatively.
"Yes, the Sui Dynasty failed to take Goguryeo, and now the Shang must be angry about this, and it will be destroyed quickly, and now the four Yi are afraid of it, and the Central Plains have arrived, and now the Shang will naturally set his sights on this land that is not conquered." Uncle Housekeeper also said affirmatively.
"Didn't you wonder why you sent me to take charge of Pingzhou, why did the emperor want to fight Goguryeo?" Shi Lei asked with a confused expression.
Although I know that I will indeed fight here in the future, it will be a few years later, and what is the inevitable connection with arranging for myself to go to Pingzhou?
