Volume 1 Chapter 700 You Are a Smart Man
"You guys, how is the situation now?"
"What do you mean?" Luo Qingxiao asked cautiously.
"All, I want to hear it!"
"This ......"
"Don't have any worries, it will come out of your mouth and into my ears, and no third person will know." Xu He said.
Luo Qingxiao obviously wouldn't dispel his worries because of Xu He's words, he was still a gourd on his knees.
Xu He said gently: "Get up, don't you want to take up your post?" β
When Luo Qingxiao heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "The experience adult is willing to let me go of the paperwork?" β
Xu He smiled: "Call someone to do it immediately!" β
Luo Qingxiao gritted his teeth and pondered for a long time, and then said to Xu He: "Experience, what do you want to ask, as long as I know, I will definitely say!" β
Xu He smiled: "Relax, I don't want you to bite anyone, or to understand the situation." You also know that I'm a scholar, I just became an official, and I don't know anything, this is not to know what the situation of our Great Wei Dynasty Guard is, and I won't be blinded by this experience in the future! β
The explanation was very reasonable, and Luo Qingxiao suddenly relaxed and smiled.
Xu He said: "Your commander is from this army, right?" β
Luo Qingxiao said: "Exactly, over the years, it is strange that the guards near our Xiangyang have said that none of the main generals have been transferred, and they are all in their own place to manage the health office." β
Xu He frowned when he heard this: "No, my ancestor has already taught the officials of the guard to be appointed as officials in other towns, unless they are ill, will it be difficult for the officials of the guard near Xiangyang to fall ill?" β
Luo Qingxiao said hesitantly: "My lord, you are the old yellow calendar, now, as long as you have silver, why do you need to have the pain of rushing, besides, when you go to a foreign country to be an official, you can only make money, and you can't buy land, which is like being at ease in your hometown!" β
"So you also spent money to make a fortune in your hometown?"
Luo Qingxiao: ".................."
Xu He smiled: "It's okay, you say, I'm just asking at random!" By the way, I heard that there is a shortage of weapons in the Huguang Guard, is there such a thing? β
As soon as he said this, Luo Qingxiao said excitedly: "Yes, not only is there a shortage of people, I heard that the people of Xiangyang Wei have even turned cannons into money!" β
When Xu He heard this, he was shocked for the first time.
The cannons of this era are all made of copper, and they are turned into coinage, so what should I do if the thieves come?
Xiangyang, that is the traffic artery of the whole north and south of China, this kind of huge city, there is not even a cannon, isn't this a trouble?
"I just heard, the specifics are not clear, anyway, our health office, when we encounter the above, come to check and practice, and the departments will go to the warehouse to get those rusty spearheads, and insert bamboo poles to use!"
"Bamboo poles? Can this be a war? β
"War? It's soft, and it doesn't hurt to hit someone. It's just a faΓ§ade, everyone knows it, and no one is serious! β
"What about the morale of the army?"
"Where does the morale of the army come from? Take my father's five military judges' divisions of Jiren, Jili, Jiyi, Jizhi, and Jixin as an example, the full quota should have been forty-seven people, but each time the order was made, only twelve people should be paid. β
Xu He was surprised: "What about the others? β
"Either there is no money to take up the post now, or there is a job for the above, and there are still ...... Run! β
"Ran away? The five divisions are all the titles of the seventh grade, they are not good officials, why did they run away? β
Luo Qingxiao smiled bitterly: "What is the seventh grade, even if it is my dead father, the judgment of the fifth grade, when I see the housekeeper of the commanding envoy's family, I don't want to be respectful!" β
When Xu He heard this, it was clear that the economic base determines the superstructure, and the superstructure feeds back to the economic base, so the result is that the power is too concentrated, and the health center is controlled by a few big people.
"Then if there is a war, won't your Xiangyang guards be useless, and you won't be able to explain to the imperial court?"
Luo Qingxiao said disapprovingly: "It's okay, small battle, we command the adults to have personal soldiers, if there is a big battle, the servants in the adults' homes, each family will pay one ding, and those who have their own fields will pay three dings for each family!" Up to 60 old men, down to 15 children, there will be no shortage of people. β
The long-term workers of their own families are afraid of delaying their cultivation, and each family only needs to produce one ding, not their own people, and the homesteaders will have to produce three people.
If you don't fight, it's just that, once you fight, you can harvest the fields sold by yeoman farmers once, it's really easy to calculate!
Without soldiers, naturally there will be no talk of drills, Xu He didn't ask this question directly, but jumped to the next one: "Is there any abnormal situation over there in Huguang!" β
Luo Qingxiao was puzzled when he heard this: "I don't know what the abnormality of the adult is asking?" β
"It's nothing, it's just something that looks weird!"
"Yes!" Who knows that Luo Qingxiao really knows: "Every year, someone gives silver to the big people above the scumbag!" β
Xu He was pleasantly surprised: "Who?" β
"I don't know, my father told me that if you have the ability, if our family can mix with a good master, this official will do a good job!"
"But these silver, they can't stand it for a few days, every year after the New Year, after the twentieth day of the first month, people come to our guard to collect the silver, saying that they want to worship King Jing."
"King Jing?" Xu He frowned.
King Jing is the younger brother of Emperor Yingzong, Yingzong was sick in his later years, unable to deal with the government, and a rebellion occurred in Beijing that had just moved the capital, which was put out by King Jing who happened to be in Beijing.
At that time, someone persuaded King Jing to ascend the throne.
But he was sternly rejected by King Jing.
Later, Yingzong recovered from his illness, and praised his younger brother, who was not in danger, extinguished the rebels, was upright in the middle, and did not covet the great treasure, and his grace continued, and he sealed more than 10,000 acres of land in Huguang at one time.
But soon after Yingzong's death, King Jing also died, and there was no heir, and Jing was removed.
In order to commemorate the vassal king, the latecomers built temples in the vast lake to support his golden body.
However, Xu He heard that over the years, the demand for the Huguang Obscene Temple can be described as fierce, and it has become a malpractice!
By the way, the obscene shrine does not refer to the ancestral hall of what it is, lewdness, more, lewd rain and feifei's lewdness, it means more.
There are too many Jingwang Ancestral Hall, and it has reached the point where the big people in the guard have to pay money to worship the ancestral hall?
Xu He feels that this may not be so simple.
Here, Xu He asked some more questions.
Luo Qingxiao answered them one by one.
In the end, Xu He said to him: "I will help you do things in the past two days, and after I leave, I have come to you with the news, don't tell anyone." β
Luo Qingxiao nodded again and again, and wanted to kneel down again!
Xu He helped him up and said: "You are a smart person, when you were in the Division, you saw so many people, you know that you came to beg me, which means that you have a good brain and are bold; The woman surnamed Kuai is kind to you, although she is abusive and ugly, but you have not turned your face, I will send someone to slap the mouth of Kuai, you can still intercede for her, it shows that you are a benevolent and righteous person! β
"You have benevolence, courage and brains, your future is limitless, but after you go back, don't go along with those people! Do you understand? β
When Luo Qingxiao heard this, he nodded with some emotion.
Xu He smiled slightly, and was about to turn around and go out, but Ding Ze hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in his ear.
After Xu He heard this, his body stiffened, and he looked at Ding Ze in disbelief and said, "Is this true? β
"The person sent by Lord Guo told Zhang Fucheng in person!"
Xu He nodded: "Go home!" β
