Most of the people in Yangzhou are very confused about Li Xianzun's new appointment. Lord Li and the salt merchants have their own reasons, the ring is fighting until dark, the government office, the salt transportation department, and the governor have come forward to stop it, and the court does not distinguish the merits after knowing it, but it has issued such an irrelevant edict, which is really incomprehensible.

In Jiangbei officialdom, the person most affected by Li Youxin's position must be Luo Xingye, the prefect of Yangzhou. Because the appointment given by the imperial court to Lord Li was the "Garrison Division of the Governor's Office" with full powers, not the "Garrison Division of the Zanli Mansion" with assistance.

In the past, the yamen of the Yangzhou Garrison Division and the Yangzhou Mansion were two reading yamen in name, one governing the people and the other managing the army, both of which were subordinates of the governor of Fengyang. However, in accordance with the principle of using literature to control the military, the garrison department of Yangzhou Prefecture is controlled and dispatched by the prefect of Luo Prefecture within the local scope, not only Yangzhou, but also the relationship between the prefect and the garrison department of the prefecture is the same.

But now that the Yangzhou Garrison Division has the official director of the Qin Order, Li Beijia, there is no longer a need for the government to come forward on behalf of the civil officials to restrain it. For Luo Zhifu, he naturally lost part of his power, and if he wanted to use the sergeants of his own government in the future, he would have to report to Li You for approval.

What made Governor Luo even more depressed was that Li Beijia was directly in charge of Guoda County as a general judge of the government, and he was already difficult to control, but now he has obtained the ministry of the garrison department of the jurisdiction of the government, and has officially become the chief official of the military affairs of the government.

Is there a backstage, whether the backstage is big or small, the more critical the moment, the more you can see it... In the backyard of the mansion, Luo Taishou, who was seriously stimulated, sighed to the moon.

From Li You's incident, it can be seen once again that if you want to go all the way in the officialdom, you can do without anything, but you can't do without the backstage. For this reason, he must do whatever it takes to get to the bottom with the famous Li Beijia, even if his head is broken and bleeding, even if his bones are broken, even if he goes to the soup and fire, he just wants to make the prime minister look back and smile.

The road is long, I will go up and down and seek, although nine deaths will not regret... But said that Master Li, who had obtained a new official position, did not go out to show off proudly, and after the initial surprise, he hid in the back office and closed the door for half a day, thinking carefully about what the imperial court inexplicably meant by giving him a "concurrently in charge of the garrison of the government".

Others can be confused, but the direction must be seen clearly, once the direction is not accurate, then the more you do, the more you will make mistakes. And in the right direction, even a small mistake can be corrected.

Over the years, the salt merchants must have cultivated a lot of scholars, and there must have been their children in the court to speak, so some things are difficult to do thoroughly... He thought about it and figured out three meanings.

The first level is that whether it is to change the salt law or to establish a new official position to supervise salt affairs, it is very difficult, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to achieve results, so first add him an official position to show appeasement.

The second layer is that it is impossible for the imperial court to ignore the face of the governor to the government office, and blindly favor him, an unconventional six-rank general judge and magistrate.

The third layer is that it is rare for civil servants to rule both military and civilian, which is to find another way to give him a more transcendent identity and expand his authority in the Jiangbei region, after all, it is the Yangzhou Garrison Department and not the Jiangdu County Garrison Division. Therefore, it implies the encouragement of the backers to him.

Just when Li You just came up with a clue, he saw the doorman Zhang San sneaking in with a famous post, and Li You scolded unhappily: "I said that I won't see any outsiders today, master!" Why do you come to report it? ”

"It's the old man of the garrison who met me, and Master Yu said that the master had better meet him." Zhang San said carefully.

Hearing this, Li You was surprised and suddenly slapped the case: "What a discerning character!" ”

The garrison master mentioned by Zhang San naturally refers to the garrison of Yangzhou Mansion, the military attache of Zhengwupin, and Li You's new subordinate.

That's right, this Zhengwupin garrison is indeed a subordinate of Zhengli, so his arrival is called an interview, not a visit.

According to the system established at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rank of military attachés in the country was generally high, but it is not surprising that the rise of civilian power gradually evolved into the phenomenon that military attachés were higher in rank than civilian officials but had a lower actual status after the military was controlled by civilians. Therefore, it is natural for the garrison of Zhengwupin to take the initiative to meet Li Beijia, the garrison division of Zhengliupin.

But having said that, but a military attache of the fifth rank can put down his body so happily, Lord Li still appreciates it very much. Countless romance novel plots flashed in his mind, and Master Li immediately ordered: "Open the middle door, this official will come out to greet you!" ”

This can also be regarded as treating each other with great courtesy, giving face to each other without money. But Li You couldn't lower his body too much to go to the gate to greet him, and only greeted him at the door of the ceremony with a flat courtesy, but this alone can be called condescension.

Li You knew that he was two pounds, and he could rely on his knowledge to do his best in civil affairs, but he really didn't know anything about military affairs. I can't rely on myself, and I have to rely on this garrison to support the field in the future, so I plan to end it with courtesy.

Xin Ming, the garrison of Yangzhou Mansion, entered the palace with a robe and a public uniform, about forty years old, tall and strong.

When he saw that his boss was actually greeting him at the Yimen, he seemed to be moved by Master Li's fold on the spot. Although the rough man's complexion did not change, he did not drag the mud and water, and he bowed his head neatly, and he was about to kneel down, not caring at all that Li Beijia was only half his age, and his grade was one grade lower than him.

What a thoughtful action... Li You, who had the heart to win over the other party, quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to stop his figure, and said earnestly: "Xin Shoubei doesn't need such a big gift!" ”

In the face of the superior's overtures, Xin Shoubei struggled several times and said: "The first time I met from a humble position, the courtesy should not be abolished!" ”

"You and I will be colleagues in the future, and we will all do things for the court, how humble and humble!" Li You continued to stop Xin Shoubei with all his might, and said very sincerely.

Xin Shoubei raised his head and was excited, "No matter how obstructive it is, it is rude for me to be in front of others, absolutely not!" ”

"Etiquette lies in the heart, not in the action, the official already understands it, how can he bend the warrior again!"

"The sky is high, and I can't afford it, but I killed the lower officials!"

"If you do this again, you will look down on this official!"

Xin Shoubei felt it in his heart, and he was full of enthusiasm, changed his kneel and bow to his hand, and saluted loudly: "I have seen Li Junmen in my humble position!" ”

What the? Army... Army... Military Gate?! The sharp-tongued Lord Li suddenly lost his voice and became cold... In these years, under normal circumstances, the governor who supervises military affairs is called the military gate, although he Li You is now also raising the people and governing the army at the same time, but it is obviously not the same level as the governor, and it is the arrogant laughing stock of Yelang when heard by others.

In this courtesy of you and me, Li You finally retreated in embarrassment and embarrassment, and the high hat that Xin Shoubei casually slapped was too big to wear. He came back to his senses and hurriedly admonished: "Xin Shoubei must not be so commensurate, otherwise he will laugh and be generous!" ”

He stretched out his hand again and asked, "Please come in for a while!" ”

Xin Shoubei also gave way: "Li Yuanjun first, please!" ”

Li You's face twitched a few more times, so that Jun was referring to the Taishou Assassin Shi Prefect Okay, don't use honorific titles indiscriminately if you don't understand.

Xinzha Master Hu Zhenru because he knew Xin Shoubei, so he accompanied him to welcome, and when he saw the proprietor and the guard thinking about each other, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the scene in front of him was like the scene of the meeting of the Ming lord and the virtuous ministers in the script, and the meeting of the dragon and tiger.

"Even officialdom can see that courtesy must be demanded by others." Li You thought as he walked.

"If you are young but don't eat and kill, you must be a person who is assertive and difficult to lobby." Xin Shoubei thought as he walked.

Entered the flower hall, sat down and served tea.

Xin Shoubei said: "Yesterday, I learned that the imperial court took Li Bei to drive the garrison division, and I was really ecstatic in my heart, and today I can't wait to come to see me, don't blame it for being rude." ”

What are you ecstatic about when I take office? Li You didn't talk much about himself, but opened his mouth to ask about the military affairs: "I don't know what kind of system is under the garrison?" ”

Xin Garrison first introduced: "So that the Shangguan will know that the military system of our garrison division is as follows, five people are in the team, five in the team, five teams of one hundred and twenty-five people are sentinels, and five sentinels are six hundred and twenty-five people in the battalion, and there are commanders, captains, sentinels, and presidents. ”

Li You continued to ask with interest: "How many battalions are there in Yangzhou Mansion?" ”

"My Yangzhou Mansion is located on the main road in Jiangbei, and there are many battalions under the Garrison Division. There are three battalions stationed in Fucheng, one firearms battalion, two infantry battalions, and about 2,000 people with heavy wagons and horses; There are two battalions stationed in Gaoyou Prefecture to protect the river and suppress the lake bandits, about 1,000 people. In the territory of this prefecture, there is another coastal defense road in the east and the imperial court in Taizhou, and there is a river defense battalion on the river in the south, all of which do not need to be guarded by our garrison soldiers. ”

Li You realized that the key defense areas of the Yangzhou Garrison Division were only two points and one line, the two points were Fucheng and Gaoyouzhou, and the first line was along the canal. As for Haiphong and Jiangphong, there are other special towns, which are not within the scope of the town's responsibilities. Then he asked, "How much is the salary?" ”

"Each soldier must have three buckets of monthly food and three dollars of silver per month..."

Li You did the math and felt that this treatment was quite good for the military families who came to serve in the military. It is said that the service should be a day job, but I didn't expect to pay monthly money in addition to food and housing, although it is not much.

In the end, Xin Garrison asked for instructions: "Please go to the garrison school to check the officers and soldiers of the city, strengthen the army, and tolerate the transfer of the soldier seal letter." ”

Li You nodded and said, "This is the way it should be, but!" Spot check when it is said to be in the morning. ”

Xin Ming got up and saluted to say goodbye, Li You thought he had some requests to mention, but in the end he didn't say anything, probably because he was worried about the depth of his words.

Sending away the Xin garrison, Lord Li thought about the garrison division, and thought of other things. Although the court did not comment in the end, it seems that the two do not want to help, but there are still some things that are not finished... He changed the previous notice ordering the six salt merchants to surrender within a certain time limit, and reposted it. is still threatening to raid the family and connect the plants. But this time the deadline given was more harsh, only three days, which showed that Master Li was more confident, because with 2,000 people in hand, many things could be done.

As soon as the new notice came out, it caused a lot of scolding from the salt merchants. I thought that things were going to end here, but I didn't expect Li Beijia to still be determined not to play according to the rules, and he still had to hold on to this matter!
