Chapter 61: Part-time work
Wang Guizhi sighed secretly in his heart, bowed to Yu Shinan three times, and said quietly: "Lord Yu is the benefactor of the slave maid, and the slave is willing to serve the adult for life!" ”
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "That's right!" It's better to choose rì than to bump into rì, Liu will give you a wedding today! ”
Now, Yu Shinan's family has servants and maidservants, and it is naturally effortless to hold a simple marriage, and Liu Ziqiu does not need to do it himself, he is just a master of the marriage. Of course, after all, Wang Guizhi used to be Yang Guang's woman, and her identity was relatively special, so Liu Ziqiu didn't make a big deal about it, and even none of the civil and military close to him were present. Liu Ziqiu didn't even drink wine, so he happily returned to his house in Jishanfang.
The age gap between Yu Shinan and Wang Guizhi is indeed large, but it is precisely because of the large age gap that Yu Shinan takes more care of Wang Guizhi, and this feeling is something she has never encountered. On the other hand, Wang Guizhi did regard Yu Shinan as a benefactor who avenged her father's revenge in her heart, and also had a heart to repay her kindness. An old husband and a young wife, rìzi actually lived a harmonious life. A year later, Wang Guizhi also gave birth to a son for Yu Shinan. Yu Shinan has been in love for many years, and finally got a beauty, and he has a middle-aged child, all of which stems from Liu Ziqiu's help, and he has been loyal to Liu Ziqiu since then, and has no second intentions. These are all later words, so let's not mention them for the time being.
said that Liu Ziqiu returned home, but Gao Xiuer didn't see Wang Guizhi, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Husband, where is Mrs. Wang?" ”
Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang is already married. ”
Gao Xiu'er was taken aback and whispered, "Husband, the concubine thought you were going to accept Wang Guizhi." ”
Liu Ziqiu gently hugged her slender waist and said, "Are you still not satisfied with your husband?" How can you get Longwangshu. I want to do a big career for my husband, but I don't want to be like Yang Guang, and I have a good reputation and arrange it for future generations. ”
Gao Xiu'er was overjoyed, but when she thought of Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan who were still in the house, she hesitated again. Gao Xiu'er had already listened to the hearts of these two people just now, and knew that they were willing to follow Liu Ziqiu, but they just listened to Liu Ziqiu's meaning, but they didn't look like they were willing to accept them. Gao Xiu'er originally wanted to mention this matter in front of Liu Ziqiu, but now she had to give up and muttered: "Husband, do you remember Xue Ye'er beside Empress Xiao?" ”
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "You mean the girl who wields the double sword?" ”
"Yes, that's her." Gao Xiu'er shook Liu Ziqiu's arm and said softly, "She is also a good sister of the concubine." In the past few days, the concubine saw that she had been depressed, and after asking again and again, she told the truth, she had a sweetheart, and she wanted to ask her husband to make the decision for her. ”
Liu Ziqiu laughed: "Miss Xue is naturally beautiful, if she falls in love with someone, whose blessing is it, what else do you want me to do." ”
There is another sentence he didn't say, women chasing men just layer yarn, is there any difficulty in this?
"Husband, the concubine will tell you serious things!" Gao Xiu'er pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Sister Ye'er's sweetheart is General Wen Haowen under you. ”
"Wen Hao, that guy is a little wooden." Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "You can mention this matter to him as a husband." ”
Gao Xiu'er said worriedly on her face: "I'm afraid it's not that simple." I heard that Wen Hao's wife's name is Fan Yu'er, that is, the woman who stabbed you with a sword in Xiyuan. Fan Yu'er and Xue Ye'er were both Yang Guang's guards back then, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other. Fan Yuer mentioned in her casual conversation that if she marries in the future, she will not allow her husband to take a concubine, otherwise she will become a nun! They were all women who were elected to the palace, and the hope of marrying was extremely slim, so it was just a joke at the time. ”
After a pause, Gao Xiu'er continued: "Who knew that Providence would make people, Fan Yu'er really got married, and Xue Ye'er took a fancy to Fan Yu'er's husband. ”
Liu Ziqiu's heart was like a mirror, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and he said: "This matter is a little tricky. Fan Yu'er has now changed her name to Fan Lihua, and this name was still chosen for her by her father, which means that she will forget her past relationship with the Yang family and be herself again. However, the name is easy to change, and the original xìng is difficult to change. Fan Lihua is strong, and I am afraid it will be difficult to agree to Wen Hao's concubine. Besides, it's hard to say whether Wen Hao is willing or not. ”
In fact, Liu Ziqiu knew in his heart that this incident was caused by Fan Lihua herself. The relationship between Fan Lihua and Xue Ye'er is like a pair of best friends, when they were in Longxi Palace, the two of them stuck together all day long, and the topic naturally came to Wen Hao. Wen Hao couldn't be better than Fan Lihua, and Fan Lihua's happiness was written on his face. And Xue Ye'er herself didn't have much opportunity to contact young men, and Wen Hao's name was heard a lot, so she naturally had a good impression.
Gao Xiu'er and Fan Lihua didn't have any contact, and suddenly played a little xìng: "I don't care, I'll leave this matter to you." ”
Liu Ziqiu's mind was full of wrinkles, and he sighed: "Okay, I'll try my best." ”
……
A little bit of mandarin duck spectrum is just Liu Ziqiu's spare time, and his focus soon shifted to this country, and one after another government decrees were promulgated.
The power of the county guards and county orders has been greatly restricted, and they only care about the people and the army, and even the soldiers who defend the city have no right to move, but in terms of money, they have improved a lot, and they can barely appease the frustration of these local officials. However, although the military power of the magistrates was withdrawn, the powers of other areas were expanded. The county magistrate has the right to appoint and dismiss the officials of the county and the counties under its jurisdiction, as long as it is reported to the imperial court for the record. In order to prevent these magistrates from cultivating power, Liu Ziqiu also stipulated that the chief officials of each county could not serve for more than five consecutive years, and they must serve in other places.
The establishment of official medical centers throughout the country has also been recognized, and all the people who sit in the halls eat the imperial court, and every year the Tai Hospital sends people to assess them, and the results of the fundamental assessment are evaluated to determine the amount of money. Patients who go to the official clinic for treatment only pay for their own medicines, and do not need to pay for the consultation. Of course, an important basis for hospitals around the country to treat patients is the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" ordered by Liu Ziqiu to be reprinted, and at the same time, the Five Birds Opera is also a compulsory subject in the hall. Vigorously developing medicine is a major move by Liu Ziqiu in terms of people's livelihood, and it is also the fulfillment of his original promise to Sun Simiao.
Another important step is the reform of the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system was pioneered by Yang Guang, but it was not implemented vigorously. After Liu Ziqiu came to Luoyang, he immediately set about reforming the imperial examination system. After all, he came from a later life, and he can refer to some practices more than a thousand years later. In all parts of the country, county schools and county schools have been set up, and a Tai College has been set up in Luoyang and Chang'an. Yu Shinan was appointed as a Tai Bachelor, in charge of the two Tai Academies and the Imperial Examination of the World. At the same time, the time of the imperial examination was set to be held once every two years, and it was divided into five subjects: literature, martial arts, engineering, medicine, and agriculture. Of course, the number of students admitted to each subject has also been greatly reduced.
The fourth initiative is the creation of a new hierarchy of titles. The title is divided into three levels: duke, marquis, and earl, and each level is divided into three classes. Titles can be hereditary, but there is a rule, no matter which level or class of titles, they are only honorary titles and do not enjoy the court. In this way, the burden on the imperial court was greatly reduced. For this initiative, the opposition in the court is still very strong, especially some former ministers. But Liu Ziqiu quieted them all down with just one sentence: all the titles in the past are invalid, and they will be re-evaluated by the imperial court according to their merits!
However, Liu Ziqiu's focus has always been on army building. As his territory expanded, so did the number of troops he had. In order to make it easier to manage, he divided the army into three types, namely the regular army, the local army, and the private army.
The regular army includes 50,000 nomadic cavalry, 50,000 Han cavalry, 100,000 infantry, 20,000 Mo sword soldiers and 20,000 sailors.
The size of the local army is set differently according to the situation in each locality. A little more in the border counties and a little less in the inner counties. Its generals are also appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of War, and they may not be re-elected for more than five years in the same place. The purpose of this is to prevent the emergence of a situation in which local generals support their own troops. In this era, the transportation was very inconvenient, and in case a general supported the army to rebel, if the troops were transferred from Chang'an and Luoyang to suppress it, not to mention the protracted cost, the cost would be astronomical.
Both the regular and local armies are equally strict in terms of military discipline, with differences only in training and equipment. On the other hand, the soldiers of the regular army and the local army are recruited by the imperial court after the autumn harvest every year, and after intensive training, they are transferred to serve in each army. These soldiers also stopped farming and received a certain amount of silver from the imperial court every month. The length of service ranged from five to ten years, and after the expiration of the service, if one could not be promoted to officer, one would be discharged. Of course, after they retire, the imperial court will issue a certain amount of subsidies, and they can also be arranged to serve as officials in the county government and county government in their hometown.
Newly recruited soldiers, while training, also receive a certain amount of cultural learning, and it is especially important to instill in them an idea that tells them who they are soldiers for and for whom they are fighting? They shed their blood and sacrificed not for the emperor, nor for their officials, but for the country, for the people of this country, and for the protection of their fathers, elders, villagers, brothers and sisters. Speaking from the heart becomes their military song, and every newly served soldier must learn it.
However, the private army only exists in Xihai and Mobei, and only Tuoba Mumi, Mu Lin, Du Mi, Xue Shixiong and Daman can have private troops. The so-called private army is actually the herdsmen in these tribes. The xìng nature of the nomadic tribe determined that these herders were all natural warriors, and even if Liu Ziqiu did not allow them to have private soldiers, they actually already had private soldiers. And Daman has so far refused to obey Liu Ziqiu's orders, and his private soldiers can be called a regular army. Allowing them to have private armies through the form of a decree not only strengthened their position among their respective tribes, but also furthered the strategic purpose of Liu Zi's rule by the autumn divide.
