Chapter 20 Fujiao Li Lang
Li Qin and Xu Xiaoni rode together and rushed to Liu Sheng's manor.
Liu Sheng's bones were broken by the giant man and he couldn't move, so he lived in the manor. When the servant saw Li Qin coming again, he hurriedly welcomed him in.
Li Qin showed Liu Sheng the injury, the broken bone was treated in time, and it did not deteriorate, Li Qin put a plaster on him, and told Liu Sheng not to move, at least to rest for half a month. After that, he showed the injuries to the family members and dealt with them one by one.
Back in the main house, Li Qin said: "Brother Liu, you are okay here, I am going to enter the city, I plan to join the army today, and I will eat the imperial food from now on." ”
Liu Sheng was looking at the plaster that Li Qin gave him, and when he heard Li Qin say this, he heaved and said, "It's not bad if you don't lose the grain, and you still expect to eat the emperor's grain?" We are far away from the emperor in Fuping, who takes the emperor seriously, it's you! ”
made fun of Li Qin, Liu Sheng asked the servant to bring a bag of five baht money and handed it to Li Qin, he said: "Brother, if you join the army, your feelings will increase, you take these money, make a little bit up and down, and strive to become a military commander." If you become a military commander, you can be responsible for the security of a village, and you can be in charge of your Fujiao Village, so as not to be assigned to the city, guarding the city gate all day, and the wind and sun are hard. ”
Li Qin didn't shirk either, put the money bag in his arms, and said, "Okay, just listen to Brother Liu and see if you can become a military commander!" Farewell to Liu Sheng, and took Xu Xiaoni into the city.
Today they did not delay anything, and before noon they entered the city and came to the seat of the county office. Most of the houses in Fuping County are located in the north and facing south, which is convenient for lighting. However, the face of the county government is facing the southeast, which is said, that is, to worship Luoyang in the southeast and guard the land for the imperial court.
Fuping County has been in disrepair for a long time, and from the outside, it is not as neat as Liu Sheng's mansion. The adobe wall is more than one person high, the black gate, and most of the black paint on the door is peeling off, if it weren't for a few officials outside the door, no one would have thought that this was actually the county yamen of Fuping.
Next to the steps of the gate, there was a large cauldron, in which the haggis soup was boiling hot, and half the street was full of fragrance, two officials stood beside the pot to boil soup, and the other official stood in front of a wooden sign, shouting loudly.
I heard this official shout: "Poor man, poor man, join the army and eat!" Folks, look what it is? This is sheep soup, as long as you come to be a soldier, you will have sheep soup to drink immediately, make sure you drink it in your mouth and warm your heart! ”
The people on the street passed by the yamen, but they rarely stopped, except for inhaling a few mouthfuls of the aroma of haggis soup, but they did not sign up to join the army.
Pupyeong, named Pupyeong, is a place of poverty. According to the Han system, there should be a regular soldier here, that is, 400 soldiers, and the rest are Tuntian soldiers. The soldiers can get two stones of grain per month to support their families, and the soldiers in the fields have no salary, but they can cultivate the fields of the government, and get subsidies for ploughing cattle and seeds, as well as fertilizers and other things, and pay one percent of the crops during the autumn harvest, which is less than the ordinary people, but in wartime they must be auxiliaries and follow the soldiers on the march.
This is a rule set at the beginning of the establishment of Fuping County. But the rules are used to destroy, and the Fuping County Order has long been unable to pay military salaries, so he changed the rules!
There are only more than 1,000 registered people in Fuping County, and the population can reach 10,000, raising an elite soldier, the county order thinks it is a bit much, so he stipulates that it is called one, and the actual amount is sixty percent, that is to say, four hundred soldiers, he only raises 240 people, and the balance is recruited by the chief. It is recruited by the chief, to put it bluntly, it is to let the chief raise, but the team leader, the tun chief or the military marquis are not allowed to raise, so as to prevent the emergence of people who can confront the county order.
And even if it was two hundred and forty people, the county order could not pay the soldiers, so he asked the soldiers to take turns to eat. That is to say, when there is a task, the county order recruits the army, and the soldiers have one meal a day, and if there is no task, go home and eat by yourself!
Such a method of recruiting soldiers, it is certainly not easy to recruit people, and the county order came up with a method, where the soldiers can occupy their own land and cultivate, the rich and flat land is vast and sparsely populated, and everything else is lacking is not lacking land, and the love of the soldier occupies as much land as it wants, but the government does not provide loans, and it is necessary to hand over half of the harvest according to the amount of land occupied. In fact, this is tantamount to turning the regular soldiers into auxiliary soldiers and demoting them.
Northland County is located on the frontier, and there is no county guard, this method of raising troops is also a helpless move, and the county orders are almost like this everywhere. But it is precisely like this, which has led to the multiplication of local powerful forces, the weakening of the power of the government, and the Han court in Luoyang is fine, once the court has something to do, then this place will immediately be divided by the powerful and powerful, called the Han family, in fact, no one will think that the real surname is Liu, the Han family's city, everyone has a share!
Fuping County Ling Yusuke, in terms of character, is not bad, but in reality, he can only get by. Originally, he could have been able to deal with this official, but in recent years, for some reason, God has not opened his eyes, Fuping is always in a big drought, the people in the county are not happy, and the Hu people on the grassland are also difficult, so the place is not peaceful.
Tang Jie estimated that the Hu people might have to go south in a big way, which was not something that could be solved by getting by, so he had to recruit troops, wanting to recruit 400 soldiers and let the poor man come to sell his life, but the poor man was not stupid, this is a matter of exchanging his life for food, and who would be willing to be a soldier unless it was absolutely necessary? A poor man who is hungry and skinny, Yusuke doesn't want it, but a poor man who is not so hungry that he can still live, he can live, and of course he refuses to exchange his life for food, and he can't eat enough!
The official under the card stopped shouting, looked at the two boiling soup, and said angrily: "You two don't eat it, from yesterday to now, only a few soldiers have been recruited, and this soup is all for the two of you to drink!" As he spoke, he walked over to the pot and took out a bowl and began to eat and drink.
The two officials next to him said: "I also said that the two of us didn't see you drink less!" ”
Li Qin came to the door, stopped his horse, and asked, "Let me ask, are you recruiting new soldiers here?" ”
The three officials looked at him together, and then at the black horse he was riding, and the officer in charge of recruiting soldiers put down the bowl, stepped forward, and said, "Yes, we are recruiting new soldiers, and you are here to find someone?" He didn't expect that Li Qin and Xu Xiaoni were here to be soldiers, and rich people were willing to be soldiers.
Li Qin said: "Not to find someone, we are here to sign up for the army!" He and Xu Xiaoni got off their horses.
Xu Xiaoni looked at the cauldron and whispered: "They are boiling haggis soup, it seems to be the fat sheep you handed over, Brother Qin!" ”
Li Qin smiled, hugged his fists at the officials, and said: "The three elder brothers, the younger brother Li Qin, in response to the call of Lord Tang, have come to sign up for the army to defend their hometown!" Where can I register it? ”
The three officials shouted in unison, all of them were full of surprise, and the officer in charge of recruiting the soldiers said, "Fujiao Li Qin? But the famous hero Li Lang? ”
Li Qin said with a smile: "Wrong love, little brother cloth-clothed civilian, how dare you call the word heroic!" ”
The official shouted, "Are you really Li Lang?" Oops, you're finally here, my lord said, you'll definitely come! He turned around and ran into the gate, shouting, "Master, Li Lang is here, and he is here to be a soldier!" ”
It didn't matter if he shouted like this, a large group of people ran out of the door, surrounding Li Qin, just like visiting a rare national treasure, looking at it endlessly, and talking non-stop!
Li Qin touched the hair on the back of his head and thought, "The sheep was not given away in vain!" ”
Xu Xiaoni was overjoyed, grabbed Li Qin's sleeve, and kept saying: "Brother Qin, you have become a hero!" ”
After a while, I saw a middle-aged fat man in a robe come out of the courtyard, with a sword in his waist, and as soon as he came out, the onlookers flashed to both sides, and it was conceivable that he was the county magistrate Yusuke.
Tang Jie is in his fifties, filial piety, he has always been sleek and sophisticated, he has been a county magistrate for many years, small mistakes are uninterrupted, big mistakes have never been made, this official should be stable, it is estimated that as long as Hu people do not trouble him, Fuping County's surname is Tang, and he can be surnamed until he dies.
Before Mengmu came back, he brought back fifteen fat sheep, saying that it was sent by Li Qin of Fujiao Village, and Tang Jie only pondered and understood that the Li family boy wanted to find a future, so he instructed the officials to pay attention to it, and if Li Qin came to be a soldier, he should notify him in time.
Tang Jie looked at the two people standing at the door, and saw that in front of him was a mighty young man with a height of eight feet, and the young man was followed by a small follower, and the little follower was also holding a black horse in his hand, so there was no doubt that this young man must be Li Qin.
has been an official for many years, Yusuke is very good at talking, and he knows that if he wants to make the person he meets for the first time become his own person, then the first sentence is very important. So he neither asked for his name nor reported his net worth, but gave a thumbs up and said loudly: "Li Lang, the most righteous!" ”
As soon as the county magistrate spoke, everyone in the audience shouted: "Li Lang is the most righteous!" ”
Xu Xiaoni in the back heard everyone praising Li Qin, and was so excited that he was as if he had been praised, his face was flushed, he led the horse with one hand, pulled the corner of Li Qin's clothes with the other, and said loudly: "The most righteous, my brother Qin is the most righteous!" ”
Li Qin thought to himself: "This person is so good at talking, he is an official oil, if I am not mistaken, if I want to kneel, he will definitely help him!" He scooped up the sleeves of his robe, made a gesture to kneel, and said, "Grass people Li Qin, meet Master Tang!" ”
As expected, Tang Jie twisted his fat body, took two steps forward, supported Li Qin, and said: "The name of Li Lang is like thunder, and when I see it today, Li Lang is really a hero, and he can be a long-term position!" ”
Although Shi Chang is the second-to-last grassroots level, he is the head of the Fuhei Reading Combat Unit, and if it is not for Yusuke's relatives, or a hard person in the background, or a veteran, it is difficult to be a veteran. Tang Jie: This is enough for Li Qin...... The fifteen sheep have lost face!
Li Qin thought to himself: "When I came, Liu Sheng also asked me to make money, and I was a captain, but I didn't expect that I didn't spend any money, so I became the chief directly!" He hurriedly thanked him, saying that the adults were wrong in love.
Tang Jie took his hand, entered the government together, and said, "Li Lang, this official is your own person, so you are allowed to choose your own soldiers." Come on, take the roster for Li Lang to choose! ”
Li Qin is finally really happy this time, he can pick up troops by himself, the sheep is not given away in vain, it is not given away in vain!
