Chapter 160: Standing Wood Code
"Tell me the details of the day. Li Wenying said.
So Fang Yun told what happened before.
After listening to this, Li Wenying praised Fang Yun and everyone, and said that he would be rewarded for meritorious deeds within three days, and then left.
The crowd continued to deal with the battlefield until the eastern sky was clear, and they returned to the barracks. According to the usual practice, after the night patrol, the morning drill was exempted, but Fang Yun got up as normal, and went to the library of the barracks to learn the art of war after eating.
After the lunch break, the uninjured men of the first battalion continued to exercise, but there were not even a hundred people, and General Wei simply asked them all to go back to rest.
Yesterday, Fang Yun's room was a gathering place for the three teams, but today it has become a rest room for the entire battalion, where hundreds of people are crowded, and even the wounded of other teams have come to join in the fun.
The atmosphere was also a little depressing at first, but soon everyone talked about the rewards for meritorious deeds and the imperial examination, and the atmosphere became lively.
Of the 500 people in the first battalion, only 163 survived, and more than 130 of them decided to go home and study again to participate in next year's imperial examination. The rest of the people were reluctant to take credit for this achievement, and decided to prepare for the exam while joining the army, and then go to the imperial examination when they were completely sure.
Soldiers cannot be discharged from the army casually, but this time, everyone has made meritorious service and is eligible to be discharged, but military merit will also be eliminated. And those who do not leave the army will inevitably be promoted as a result, and even the most ordinary soldiers will be promoted to the rank of chief in a year, and can command fourteen people.
Yishi's Shi Chang Hongcheng was the happiest, he originally had merit, plus this merit, he could not only be promoted directly to captain, but also because of this great merit, he was qualified to become an adjutant from Jiupin in the future and become a formal officer.
The day was spent peacefully.
When a new day came, the clouds were overcast and the rain was pouring down, but the people of the first battalion had no effect at all, because the state army examination department sent people to reward everyone for their meritorious deeds. The personal soldiers of General Yu Xingshu of Dinghai came to find Fang Yun in person.
In the pouring rain, Fang Yun and the pro-soldier each came to the general's tent with an umbrella.
The rain was so heavy that even if there was an umbrella, the clothes below the waist of the pro-soldier were wet, and the rain on Fang Yun's clothes flowed down naturally, only a puddle of water trails appeared under his feet, and the clothes on his body were clean and clean, without a trace of water.
Fang Yun put the umbrella aside and said, "Fang Yun has seen General Yu. ”
Dinghai General Yu Xingshu's expression was quite helpless, and he said straight to the point: "Your awl is too sharp." No matter where you put it, you can pierce everything and come out immediately. I discussed with Jianmei Gong yesterday, and even he didn't expect that you would make such a great military feat on the night of the second day of entering the barracks. Saving tens of thousands of people and avoiding the destruction of important Terran ports is enough to get you two levels higher. After you are admitted to the Jinshi, this merit will be submitted to Jingguo by the Holy Academy. I'm afraid you will be the first genius in the history of the Ten Kingdoms to become a member of the Five Grades just after becoming a Jinshi. ”
"It's a coincidence. "Fang Yun didn't take credit, but it feels strange when he thinks about it, Cai He is a genuine Jinshi background. Now it is only the county order of the seventh grade, and it is still four levels away from the prefect of the fifth grade.
Yu Xingshu said enviously: "You already have real military merits on the 'merit book' in the Holy Courtyard. The military exploits of saving the Jade Harbor are almost comparable to the military exploits of an ordinary jinshi's life. However, your identity is too unique for this achievement to be revealed. When the time comes, it will be announced. ”
Fang Yun asked in surprise: "That merit book is part of the 'Limu Code' of the Legalist Semi-Sage Shang Ying's Wenbao?"
"Exactly. Shang Sheng's laws are known for being strict, so the merits of everyone in the human race will be recorded, and there can never be any problems. ”
Fang Yun nodded, knowing that Shang Ying was strict. He was once called a cool official, and even opposed Confucianism and Zonghengjia. Later Shang Sheng minored in Confucianism and discovered that the overly strict laws left hidden dangers for the Qin state. Although he still opposed Zonghengjia, he no longer opposed Confucianism, and rebuilt the foundation of sanctification, and was canonized as a semi-saint.
Before Shang Ying's reform, in order to win the trust of the people, he once erected a piece of wood at the south gate of the bazaar in the capital of Qin, and showed a notice saying that if someone moved this wood to the north gate, he would be rewarded with ten gold. No one believed it, so Shang Ying issued a notice to raise it to fifty gold, and one person moved the wood to the north gate with the attitude of trying, and immediately received a reward of fifty gold.
"Limu Jianxin" and "Shang Yang Limu" spread to the Qin State and became the basis for the Shang Dynasty's reform, and the Shengji Wenbao after the Shang Dynasty was canonized is the famous "Limu Code", which is not only a law, but also a set of extremely strict merit system, which has become the basis for the Holy Academy to investigate the talents of the human race.
It is said that Confucius once thought that Shang Ying's Limu Code was too harsh and that there was a law but not benevolence, but later he personally set the Limu Code as the foundation of the law of the Holy Court, and future generations were not allowed to change it.
Since then, the status of Legalism has been elevated and it has become a prominent scholar, and all Legalist disciples admire Confucius's mind.
Yu Xingshu said: "Your talent is amazing, you can experience in the court before you become a scholar, but after you become a scholar, if it is not for the miscellaneous family cultivation technique, the Holy Academy is your foundation, and it is the right way to beat the Confucianism in the Limu Codex." Zuo Xiang and Jianmei Gong are both university scholars, although Zuo Xiang is power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, he has always been helpless with Jianmei Gong, and even was reprimanded by Jianmei Gong in the court and did not return the mouth, just because Jianmei Gong had more military achievements in the Limu Code than him. ”
"Students understand. Fang Yundao.
A strange look flashed on Yu Xingshu's face, coughed lightly, and said, "I have been the general of Dinghai for many years, and I will go to the Holy Courtyard to report on the East China Sea in a few days, and I will go to the Wudao River on the way." ”
"I wish the general success in enlightenment. "Fang Yun won't persuade anything anymore.
"It's just a try, just like students have to go to worship the Wuhou Temple or the half-holy ancestral halls in various places before the imperial examination. Yu Xingshu said.
Fang Yun thought to himself, is this a juxtaposition of the Enlightenment River and the Half-Holy Ancestral Hall?
Then Yu Xingshu said: "We thought you would be unknown in the army, but we didn't expect you to make such a great contribution." Since even the army can't make you ordinary, I can only change your name. In the future, your identity will appear as a descendant of the soldier family, called 'Fang Bing', this name is very ordinary, as long as you don't expose it, no one will associate you with Fang Yun. ”
Yu Xingshu looked helpless.
"Okay, in the future, I will officially assume the pseudonym Fang Bing, and my identity is a descendant of the soldier family. "Fang Yun remembered the name of the house soldier.
Yu Xingshu nodded and said, "I got two pieces of information." The first one is from Qingguo, and the poet's first apprentice will personally send the poet's Qixi poem as a congratulatory gift to congratulate me on the Qixi Festival in Yuhai Mansion. At the Qixi Word Conference, if my Jingguo people can make good words, they will not make trouble, if they can't make good words, the poet's first disciple will inevitably come forward to suppress my Jingguo literati. ”
"Those people still don't give up?" Fang pointed to the sky, alluding to the demi-saint of the Miscellaneous Family and several great Confucians of the Zongheng Family.
"Even Chen Sheng can't stop them, and you can't. Yu Xingshu said.
"Alas......" Fang Yun let out a long sigh, since he had been involved in the battle of the Holy Dao, he could only go on step by step, win or lose.
"The second piece of information is from the Dragon Clan, Jiaowang Jairus will report it, he will launch a revenge operation in the near future, but you can rest assured, we will be fully prepared. ”
Fang Yun's mind came to mind with the hateful look in King Jiao's eyes before leaving.
"There is one more thing, Liu Zizhi came back from the capital to mourn for Liu Zicheng. ”
General Xie reminded. ”
So many things are intertwined, Fang Yun feels that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, if he passes this hurdle, he can safely participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival literary meeting where the literati of the ten countries gather, and then enter the holy ruins, if he can't pass, he can only shrink in the army and continue to study the military book.
Fang Yun was about to leave, when he saw that Yu Xingshu seemed to have received the Hongyan handbook, but because it was a ciphertext, he couldn't see the text Hongyan, so he could only guess through Yu Xingshu's expression and movements.
After a while, Yu Xingshu sighed lightly and said: "The Yangtze River began to flood yesterday, the water volume has skyrocketed, and there are heavy rains in all parts of Jiangzhou, it seems that the flood period is coming." There are countless rivers in Jiangzhou, and there is never a shortage of water in spring, but the autumn harvest will be more than a month later, and once the waterlogging is formed, the farmland will be flooded, and the yield will inevitably be reduced. Civil officials from all over the country are about to organize people to hold a cultural meeting to stop waterlogging, and I still have to defend against the Kraken River Demon in Yuhai City, and I can't go to the Holy Courtyard, and I can't go to the Enlightenment River. ”
"I wonder if my subordinates can help?"
Yu Xingshu shook his head and said: "If this year's heavy rain does not become a disaster, it will be the same with you or not." If it really floods Jiangzhou, you can't do anything alone. It's just that the biography says that only Jiangzhou has heavy rain, but there is no rain in other states and Qingguo, which is across the river. I hope it's just a celestial phenomenon, not the Dragon Palace's obstruction, otherwise Chen Sheng will retreat, and things will become extremely troublesome. ”
Fang Yunzhi said that he was busy with official business, and said: "If the adult is sent, the subordinates must obey the order, and if there is nothing to do, the subordinates will retire." ”
"Well, tomorrow you will change your name to 'Fang Bing' and change to one guard and one battalion, and no one will know you in the entire three thousand people. Your battalion doesn't have to go out of town to patrol and avoid trouble. These days, you are going to prepare the words that will be used in the Qixi Festival, and you can't let the Qingguo people compare. ”
"Subordinates obey!" Fang Yun said.
Fang Yun left with an umbrella in his hand and returned to his barracks, where the people had already obtained the corresponding merits and were elated.
Everyone passes the merit examination, some people will be discharged from the army within a few days, and some will be assigned to various places in the army, and the sorrow of parting is brewing in the house, and everyone slowly talks about the big events or interesting things that happened in the army to relieve their sorrows.
Dinghai is not a government army, and they are not allowed to drink, and everyone doesn't even have a chance to get drunk, but they just decide to eat in the canteen tomorrow morning and go their separate ways.
The downpour continued, and the night passed, and it continued to be in the early morning.
Waking up in the morning, Fang Yun stood at the door of the barracks, frowning and looking at the white rain in the world, if it continued like this, once the water of the Yudai River and Pinghu Lake overflowed, Yuhai City would inevitably be waterlogged, bringing great trouble to the residents.
Suddenly, the sky suddenly brightened, and Fang Yun subconsciously squinted.
I saw a circular clear sky appear directly above Yuhai City, all the dark clouds were distributed, and the circular clear sky was rapidly expanding, and it soon expanded to the sky above the entire Yuhai City.
Yuhai City is clear, but it is still pouring rain a mile away from Yuhai City, and it hurts to fall on the head. (To be continued......)
