Chapter Ninety-One: Open the People's Wisdom and Recruit Soldiers
Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng couldn't help but be a little surprised by the aura of Sen Xuanji's head, and asked with a smile: "Why did Xuangong say this?" ”
Sen Xuanji replied solemnly: "Your Majesty, although my Sen family lives in the border of the country, after all, it is also a branch of the feudal family.
I know all the famous families of Dachu, and the current head of the Xiongjing Zhang family, that is, your grandfather Mao Songgong, is the Yaqing of the dynasty, and he can be called prominent in the world..."
"Da Chu governs the country with the county system, and the ministers have a little bit of reputation on their faces," Zhang Huansheng listened, and suddenly interjected with feeling: "The rest are just like ordinary people, nothing special, what is prominent."
This noble and lowly, the eternal Yan and Huang ancient system, although it seems to be quite flawed today, but after the monarch monopolizes the power in the country, he regards the noble as a lowly, and fails the loyalty of those families who have served the royal family for generations, and it is not desirable.
I can't control other places, Zhang County should change it.
I thought about it before, although it is inappropriate to change the county system back to feudal decentralization, but there is a way to make the important ministers and good generals rich and noble for generations.
Although there is no right to govern the people, but from this moment on, the grain and silver taxes in the right half of the city of Beiyi are rich, unless Zhang County perishes, no matter how it expands, moves, increases, or changes, it will forever belong to your Sen family. ”
The land of Zhangxian is only a main city, four sub-towns, there are nearly 5,000 households in the north of the city, although most of them are just two or two families, only one generation of small households, Dingkou is all young and strong, half of the city more than 2,000 households of grain, tax and silver are gathered, it is also very considerable.
More importantly, this income, if it is owned by the Sen family for generations, although it is not as powerful as a fiefdom, but no matter whether the descendants of future generations are virtuous or foolish, the family will never be reduced to a small household of the common people, and it will occasionally sink in the future, and it will inevitably be able to rise when it is an opportunity.
When Yisen Xuanji heard this, his face suddenly changed, his excited body trembled slightly, he got up solemnly, knelt on the ground and said: "The king's great kindness, it is difficult to repay the servant, only bow down and serve his life." ”
"This Zhang County has built a foundation, I just found a place and moved the population, and the rest is all up to Xuangong to vigorously develop," Zhang Huansheng hurriedly got up, helped Sen Xuanji up and said: "What is the food in half of the city."
By the way, there is also Li Shuimiao, without the Waner gold beads he offered, Zhang County would not have been able to add so many Dingkou, so in the remaining left half of the city in Beiyi, find a market at random and reward him as a hereditary food town. ”
"Servants obey orders." Sen Xuanji won the jackpot, so he naturally didn't mind others eating some leftovers, and when he heard the words, he bowed deeply and replied.
"Why does Duke Xuan have to be so polite, as a monarch, isn't it a matter of course to let the courtiers who have made great achievements leave some shade for future generations." Zhang Huansheng walked back to the main seat of the main hall, looked at Sen Xuanji, who bowed down again, smiled and waved his hand.
After that, he let out a long sigh thoughtfully, and said, "Alas, I actually felt this too."
Although after recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, ninety percent of his time was spent in the Guozijian, and he didn't know much about the operation of Xiongjing Zhangfu.
But I can see that the Emperor of Great Chu treats his courtiers very harshly, even a family like Xiongjing Zhang's family does not have too much ancestral property, and the elders' fortunes are not rich.
In addition, the only grandfather in the clan who can talk about holding power is a well-known honest and virtuous minister, and the family expenses are really very poor, and there are rumors that he deigns to marry a wealthy merchant and maintain a decent degree..."
"This is not a rumor, but a real fact," Sen Xuanji heard this, hesitated and whispered: "Your father, Zhang Rong, the eldest son of the Xiongjing Zhang family, Lord Zhang, must have known about the marriage with the wealthy merchant Du clan.
But you may not know that in the past ten years, every New Year's Day, the Du family will give gold and silver to the Zhang family in the name of mutual gifts between in-laws, so I will remind you to be careful of the trouble between the Xiao wall. ”
"There is such a thing," Zhang Huansheng was slightly stunned and said, "How did you know about Xuangong?" ”
"My former fiefdom is rich in horses," Sen Xuanji replied softly, "There are often transactions with the Du family's firm.
Du Qingyun, the head of the Du family, has two sons-in-law, the eldest son is calm and atmospheric, and has the demeanor of a husband, but this son is smart and exposed, and thinks very highly of himself, in order to raise his value, he dares to say anything.
I met with him a few times, and in the midst of drunken conversations, I heard him brag about it many times, and it didn't sound like a lie. ”
"I see, then I really have to be careful." Hearing this, Zhang Huansheng nodded thoughtfully, then pondered for a moment, and shook his head with a dumb smile, "There is a way for soldiers to block, water to cover up, and some things are useless to prepare now."
Xuan Gong, in fact, when I tell you about the changes in my life experience, I don't want to ask you for advice on how to compete for favor and profit in that high-ranking family, but to say that I have written down thousands of practical classics in the Guozijian.
Among them, there are not only collections related to the people's livelihood, manufacturing textile machines, waterwheels, and water flushing machinery, but also exercises for practicing martial arts and spells.
I'm going to record them one by one, and you're going to find some clever people who can study and see if you can make paper out of trees, make molds out of clay, and print them with movable type..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sen Xuanji was shocked and asked: "Could it be that the monarch wants to open up the wisdom of the people in Zhang County, and will all the classics obtained in the Great Chu State Prison be disclosed to the people?" ”
"Those collections that are related to the people's livelihood and the most basic martial arts and cultivation techniques, I plan to disclose them to the common people," Zhang Huansheng said with a smile: "As for the more advanced exercises, you can only learn them when you join the army." ”
"Your Majesty, are you going to recruit troops in Zhang County?" Sen Xuanji's heart was unsettled, and he asked again and again.
"That's right," Zhang Huansheng nodded and said, "I didn't think it before, but now that I have seen more in the Land of Yanhuang, the more I feel that the world of great controversy has arrived."
Although our Zhang County is lonely overseas, and the peace is abnormal, in the future, we can't just rely on me alone, with a few servants to guard, and recruit some soldiers in advance.
However, the number does not need to be too much, with the ratio of one soldier for every 500 civilians, it is enough to recruit 2,000 soldiers first.
How to do it, it's up to you to decide what to do.
As for the person who commanded the army, Zhou Moke, who had resigned from his civilian position, was to serve as the leader, but for the sake of local stability, none of his subordinates who had already served as officials in the government office could be called, and everything had to be started all over again. ”
