Chapter 127: Domination
"Also, the private households are not sold to the sergeant, at the moment there are few private households, a sergeant can receive a maximum of two private households, limited to ten days, let the military and the people make peace with each other, the two sides sign a contract, after ten days, if there are still white households that have not yet surrendered to the sergeant, under the supervision of the civil protector, draw lots to the sergeant who has not yet defected. After three years, another ten days will be set aside to allow the civilian households to switch to sergeants, and of course, if the military households have a harmonious relationship with the civilian households under their jurisdiction, then continue to renew the contract. ”
Wu Yingying's words were entangled, but they were related to their vital interests, and all the lieutenants pricked up their ears and listened carefully, secretly planning to let their subordinates walk around among the households as soon as possible after they went back, and select the strong, honest and willing households, and said that they would come to defect, otherwise they would be assigned some weak and unusable, or cunning and cunning people, but it would be a three-year trouble.
"Since the sergeants have accepted the benefits of the households, if they encounter horse thieves, strongmen, hooligans and others harassing the households, they should have the military households to which the households belong to come forward to protect them, and if the military households cannot take care of them, report to the centurion, and if the centurion can't solve it, report to the captain, and if the captain can't manage it, report it to me to solve it. This important clause should be written in the deed signed between the sergeant and the household, and this duty of protection can be regarded as the proof of our collection of taxes from the household. Wu Yingying's eyes lit up, he glanced at the captains seated, gritted his teeth and said: "Those who are in trouble with the people of Wulanzhou, the Wulanzhou army swears to fight to the end with them!"
"Yes!" all the lieutenants shouted in unison, as if they were going to blast the future enemy who invaded the property of the Lanzhou Army out of the clouds, isn't it? If the civilian households of the Lanzhou Army are invaded, if the property of the Lanzhou Army is violated, the sergeant will not be able to protect the households under them, not only will the property be damaged, but the competent households will also turn to others, and the white money in their pockets will fly away.
After Wu Yingying explained the complex relationship between the sergeants and the people, even Chase no longer objected, it sounded like the people who could freely choose the protection of the sergeants, and the protectors who could avenge their grievances, seemed to be in a better situation than in the past to withstand the exploitation of the family and the officials layer by layer. But having said that, when it comes to real action, the situation is complicated, and it seems that the ten candidates for the civil protector are really easy to choose. Chase groaned secretly, not noticing that the other lieutenants hurriedly walked out of the military conference hall, and when he looked up again, he saw Wu Yingying sitting upright in the hall, looking at him with a smile. Chase was stunned for a moment, only to wake up that the other lieutenants must have told his corporal to quickly select a useful household to sign a contract, but the brothers in his own tooth camp didn't know about it, Chase gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and didn't care about saying goodbye to Wu Yingying, so he hurriedly went to the centurion in the camp to tell him about it.
Not only did the captains spread the message to the army as quickly as possible, but Wu Yingying also sent the most clear-spoken officials in the Lanzhou Yamen to preach to the households with notices, making sure that all the households knew that being a cute household for the sergeant was completely different from being a slave and a maid in Saibei, and it was also different from being a tenant in the countryside to farm land for the landlords and gentry.
"The head of the house, this cute household, it seems that it is no different from renting Cui Dashanren's land when our family was in Qinghe," Xu Cao's tone was very brisk and nagged with her husband, "But how many generations of famous families are in the Cui family in Qinghe, how many officials the Cui family has produced, not to mention, even Cui Dashan is a white person, and the county lord is respectful when he sees it, how can you say that these military men can be the same as Master Cui?"
"As far as you talk a lot, let's quickly find a good-hearted military master to take refuge in a serious way!" Xu Fa scolded, thinking back to the soldiers he had seen in the past few days, in the end, those few seemed to be easier to deal with, as if those southerners in the head of the Bu military camp were more kind, better than the Hu people in the Ma military camp, but the Hu people we also know, the mind is simple and easy to fool, when the time comes, the crops in the field can do some tricks and feet, and we can also keep a little more. Xu Fa thought about this major issue related to his own destiny and future with a solemn face, and suddenly stomped his feet and scolded: "The way of the world has changed, I knew that being a soldier was so capable, and Lao Tzu also joined the army." Frightened, Xu Cao's family hurriedly covered his mouth, God, don't let the officials hear it, it's been a chaotic time these days, but don't give your family this mouth.
Note 1: Rome was not built in a day, if the protagonist relied on a goldfinger-like system at the beginning, this book is not interesting, because the system has many loopholes and flaws, and there will be reasonable contradictions and conflicts in the future, Yuanji asks readers to watch patiently, I believe that this book will become more and more exciting. Let's take a look at the feudal lordship system in history.
The lord had absolute control over his fiefdom (caiyi) and the people living on it (including various "sovereignty" such as taxation and conscription (just like the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period), while the landlord only had ownership of the land, and did not have "sovereignty" such as taxation and military affairs.
The lord can have administrative power in the territory, rule over the people under his jurisdiction, have his own army, and pay only tribute to the monarch. The landlords had ownership of the land, but they only leased the land to the peasants and exploited the peasants' labor income.
The feudal lord is actually the ruler of his region, that is, the emperor of the soil, he is only responsible to his lord, and he is not subordinate to each other, so "the lord of the lord is not my lord". So feudalism in the West was based on lords. They paid tribute and led troops to fight with their lords, and the king was the greatest. "What, you're going to say goodbye to me?" Wu Yingying looked at Xingu with a shocked expression.
"Yes. The last general was in big trouble, and he thought that no one knew him in the Han land, but who knew that the last time he was seen in Shuozhou, in order not to affect the adults and the brothers, the last general had to resign to the adults. Xin Gu said in a deep voice, his demeanor seemed to be different from before, what was the difference, Wu Yingying couldn't say.
"Captain Xin, you are the pillar of my Lanzhou, a great disaster, and my Wu hero will bear it. Wu Yingying stretched out his hand and patted Xin Gu's shoulder, as if the underworld boss was "following the eldest brother, I will cover it if there is trouble".
Xin Gu was dumbfounded, and said to Wu Yingying with a wry smile: "My lord, the truth of this disaster is too big, I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”
"Bullshit," Wu Yingying said disdainfully, "I can't afford it, and the 7,000 men of the Lanzhou Army are burdened together, regardless of whether he is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty or the Khitan Emperor, if he wants to move my Lanzhou people, I first asked these 7,000 horizontal knives if they agreed." ”
Xin Gu was a little moved, and was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "I killed the emperor of the Khitan." ”
"What?" Wu Yingying couldn't believe his ears, "You say it again, I didn't hear clearly." ”
"I killed Yelujing, the dog emperor. Xin Gu looked at Wu Yingying's eyes and said word by word.
"I used to be a cook who served the Emperor of the dog, but in fact I was the slave of the Emperor. Xin Gu seemed to hate Yelu Jing very much, and gritted his teeth when he mentioned this person, "Although I am a Khitan, my ancestors were not a tribe that obeyed Yelu Abaoji's army, but was defeated and captured, so my grandfather's generation was a slave of the Yelu clan. In my generation, the dog officials who served the emperor saw that I had a good barbecue venison, so they offered me to the emperor as a cook, but in fact I was still a slave, and my life was even more unbearable than before. The dog emperor set up many kinds of poison punishments to punish the slaves around him, such as shooting, burning, cutting off hands and feet, rotting shoulders, bending waist and shins, scratching, breaking teeth, dismembering, chopping into meat paste, etc., and also killing personal slaves for some very small things. Once, my good brother, Dong'er, was holding chopsticks, and the knife and fork were a little slower, and the dog emperor Yelujing stabbed him to death with his own hands. On another occasion, he killed 44 slaves of Guanlu at once. My lord, do you think this dog emperor should be killed?"
