Chapter 406: The Lord Who Is Close to the People
Standing next to the distribution point in the camp, Han Hao fell into deep contemplation,
When Liu Jian told him that his soldiers would each receive a small piece of mutton today, Han Hao still had some doubts in his heart.
Although Liu Jian said that he had earned all these muttons from the aliens in northern Xinjiang, and he didn't need to kill a single sheep from the big man, Han Hao still felt that Liu Jian was bragging.
It is no wonder that although many people know that Liu Jian is doing things on the side of the alien race in the north, in addition to the locals of Hebei, there are also high-level figures in Jizhou who can personally feel Liu Jian's plan, and the Han people in the south do not know much about the interests of Hebei and other races, and at most they have only heard a little about it.
Especially now the internal chaos of the Han Dynasty, most of the people in the territory mainly focus on the Central Plains, Sizhou, and Yongzhou regions.
As for the matter over there...... Anyway, as long as Liu Deran himself doesn't make trouble, there are really not many people who are interested in him.
But today, Han Hao really felt the difference in the lives of Hebei people led by Liu Jian.
All the soldiers in the Hebei battalion were given a small piece of cooked mutton.
There is not much meat, and it is not as big as anyone's palm, and according to the physique of people in the army, this piece of meat is also a matter of three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls.
But even so, this is a great favor for ordinary sergeants.
In these years, for Li Shu at the bottom, he can eat a full meal, even if his ancestors have accumulated great virtues, who can still worry about how much meat to eat?
Before the chaos in the world, in order to avoid the impact of oral calculations on the family, many people at the bottom would drown their newborn babies in the river, or even throw them directly into the mountains and old forests.
Why?
It's just to reduce the pressure on the family.
That kind of pressure is different from the pressure of the afterlife, it is the real existential pressure.
In bad harvest years, hundreds of baby corpses can be seen in the river near the township.
The corpses of those babies were eaten by the beasts, and the small bones and heads were sprinkled on the river, exuding a fishy stench, like a hell on earth, which made people shudder.
In a disaster year, these babies can't even enter the river, and they are directly exchanged with adults to satisfy their hunger!
How many people wept while gnawing on the corpses of babies like beasts to survive.
This situation is still common in the states of the Han Dynasty, especially in the Central Plains!
However, Liu Deran from Hebei, he was able to let his soldiers all eat a small piece of mutton on a special day!
What an amazing fortune!
This small piece of mutton can definitely represent the huge difference between Hebei and the states and counties south of the Yellow River! It shows that Hebei has accumulated at least 20 more years of wealth than the states and counties south of the Yellow River.
Liu Deran has only been in Hebei for a few years?
How he did it!
With this question, Han Hao continued to visit the barracks with Liu Jian.
In the meantime, he saw a crowd in front of the tent of the prisoner, and people were constantly busy coming in and out.
Han Hao was very puzzled, the duty of the supervisor is generally to check and balance with the main general, and he is used to check and balance the generals on weekdays, and there are not many trivial matters, why is the supervisor in Liu Jian's camp so busy?
Liu Jian told him that in his place, the duty of the battalion supervisor was not to check and balance the high-ranking generals, but to be mainly responsible for the compound of cases of soldiers who violated military law.
In other people's battalions, the soldiers in the battalion committed crimes, and they were generally directly punished and punished by the Sima of each battalion, but in Liu Jian's army, and even in the entire Hebei army...... Never allowed.
Because Liu Jian's army has a military court, which is specifically responsible for examining the criminal responsibility of soldiers who violate military law, the direct person in charge of the military court is Liu Jian, and Liu Jian is to arrange for the supervisor to specially review and review the cases of violation of military law examined by the military court.
In addition, Liu Jian also set up a military inspection office, which regularly examines military courts and prison camps, and once these two problems are found, the military inspection office can directly convict them.
In response to the corruption and bribery of the Inspectorate, all officials with more than 200 stone can be impeached if there is solid evidence, and the local Dali Temple Office can directly detain the personnel of the Inspectorate after obtaining the evidence.
The number of personnel in the Inspectorate is strictly controlled, and it is never allowed to be in charge......
Han Hao was dumbfounded again by Liu Jian's words.
According to his IQ, it took him a long time to smooth out this bend.
"General Liu, it's just a military law, why is it so complicated?"
Liu Jian said solemnly: "Military law is the cornerstone of the order of the three services, and there is no difference between the army and the thieves without the constraints of military law, but the military law is implemented on the individual, and the price is very large for the individual, so it must be rigorous." ”
"In the past, in the army, there was no substantive supervision of military law, and a battalion of Sima had the power to enforce military law on ordinary soldiers, but this was very high for the individual who implemented military law.
"Even, military law will become a means for some individual officers to win over soldiers and eliminate dissent!"
"This is absolutely undesirable."
"A soldier is a soldier of the country, not a private soldier of anyone's family!"
"When the rule of law is prosperous, the country is prosperous, and when the rule of law is strong, the country is strong, and the same is true in the army!"
The Han Dynasty has always belonged to a patriarchal society, and the relationship between clans and clans can override everything in the eyes of ordinary people, even the law.
This concept was most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was relatively weakened in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it still conformed to the cognitive common sense of most people.
In these years, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the autonomy of the people in the countryside was too strong.
They were sometimes completely above the law.
It seems that Guan Yu said that if you kill someone, you will kill, and after killing, you will run, and when you turn around, you will be a martial saint and be sought after by tens of thousands of people.
Based on the influence of this social environment, the sense of law in the military can be understood if you think about it carefully.
Most of them still use people to manage the law, but they can't supervise people by law.
Liu Jian's emphasis on the law is, in a sense, also a manifestation of strengthening the centralization of power.
Han Hao has opened his eyes today.
He listened to things he had never heard before, and followed Liu Jian's side closely, constantly absorbing and learning.
Of course, some of the things Liu Jian said were indeed good in Han Hao's opinion, but there were some things that Han Hao did not approve of.
This is the wisdom of the benevolent and the wise.
……
Subsequently, Han Hao visited Liu Jian's east and west camps one after another, during which he found that Liu Jian's soldiers in the army had a very high armor coverage rate, which was almost on par with the armor coverage rate of the Han Central Army.
Han Hao was shocked when he saw this.
In this era, the armor coverage rate of the local army can be close to that of the capital, how strong will the financial resources of the place be?
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the amount of iron used!
The central army has received tax support from the prefectures and counties across the country in order to have so many iron tools for smelting armor, but the amount of iron in the local area is limited, and if the production of armor is forcibly increased, it will definitely greatly affect the people's livelihood, which is very undesirable.
Obviously, a person like Liu Jian would not do anything to forcibly loot civilian pig iron to equip the army with armor and weapons......
So how was Liu Jian able to equip the army with so much armor?
In Han Hao's mind, he remembered the rumor that someone told him some time ago that Youzhou iron ore was enough to supply the whole country......
At that time, Han Hao still didn't believe it, thinking that someone was bragging for Liu Jian.
But today, Han Hao knew that his vision was narrow.
It turns out that this world can really match the whole country with the wealth of the land of three states.
……
……
After visiting the barracks, it was getting late, and Liu Jian immediately ordered people to make fire and make food, and feast on the soldiers!
Han Hao also participated in the feast.
To Han Hao's surprise, Liu Jian's feast was also different from others.
He didn't stand on his own in his tent.
On the contrary, Liu Jian ordered people to set up a bonfire on the plain outside the tent and cook soup in the kettle, while he and his cronies surrounded the cauldron and ate the same thing as the soldiers!
Liu Jian took the rice bowl, and after eating a few bites, he stood up and went to inspect the soldiers by the stove where he was eating with him in the open field, and talked and laughed with them.
Sometimes when he saw ordinary soldiers who could remember their names, Liu Jian would deliberately stop in place and ask about the family situation of those soldiers and his own situation.
The soldier who was asked by Liu Jian obviously had a proud look, and the soldiers around him looked at him with undisguised envy on their faces.
Obviously, those who can be remembered by Liu Jian and can say a few words to Liu Jian are proud of the soldiers, and can even be said to be proud.
In this barracks, Liu Jian is obviously the god in the hearts of all soldiers and soldiers, and he is the representative of the highest honor!
And Han Hao can see that the soldiers are not surprised by Liu Jian's pro-people behavior, obviously this is Liu Jian's usual behavior, not what he deliberately did for himself.
Han Hao also held the bowl and followed behind Liu Jian, watching him keep talking with the soldiers......
Looking at Liu Jian's back, Han Hao fell into deep thought.
This General Zuo is amazing!
Soon, a voice sounded next to Han Hao: "My general, every few days, he has to eat and live with the sergeants and soldiers, and even perform together, whether it is when marching or in Yecheng, this matter has never stopped, and there has been no big banquet to entertain today, and I ask Han to do not blame." ”
Han Hao was stunned when he heard this, and looked sideways, but it was a young martial artist.
Han Hao knew that this person was Zhao Yun, who was in charge of commanding the Central Protector Army for Liu Jian, and Shicai had already introduced each other.
Han Hao bowed to Zhao Yun.
"May I ask Zilong, how many years has General Liu behaved like this?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know, I only know that since General Zuo arrived in Jizhou and formed an army, he has acted like this." ”
Han Hao's face showed admiration.
"General Zuo loves soldiers like a son, which is really enviable."
Suddenly, he heard Zhao Yun ask Han Hao: "Han Zhen, the spies under Yun, recently heard a rumor in Hanoi, which is related to the prince of the Ru family. ”
Han Haoqi said: "What did Zilong say? ”
Zhao Yun's face was straight: "I heard that the prince of the palace wanted to raise troops to display in the realm, and he took advantage of me to pass by, set up a Hongmen banquet to kill my general Zuo, and relieved Yuan Shao of the troubles, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
