Chapter 296: The Middle Father Thinks My Milk Stinks Yet? (Ask for subscription)

Huo Dang's side didn't make a move for a while, and Liu He seemed to have no point of strength for a while.

In the main hall of this temple, there was a sudden silence.

It's just a blessing or a curse, it can't be avoided, since there is no news yet, then Liu He doesn't need to bother alone.

Maybe the middle father is really old, maybe the Huo Party is really not tough, maybe he silently eats this secret loss.

If that's the case, it's a bonus.

Taking advantage of this moment of tranquility, Liu He could distract himself and deal with the rest of the things first.

"Gong Qing, have the three hundred Changyi Lang who are new from Changyi already entered the palace?" Liu He asked.

"It's all in the palace, and it's temporarily numbered as Santun."

……

In the Han army, there is naturally a fixed establishment.

Five people are in a team, with a military chief, and the rank is Zuoshi.

Ten people are long, and the rank is fighting food.

Fifty people are a team, set up a team rate, and the rank is more than 100 stones.

100 people are tun, set up tun long, and the rank is more than 200 stones.

Five hundred people are songs, set up princes, and the rank is more than six hundred stones.

2,500 people are the department, with a school captain, and the rank is more than 2,000 stones.

Further up are the generals in the court, the general of the chariot and cavalry, the general of Wei, the generals of the front and back, the left and right and all kinds of miscellaneous generals.

These generals did not have a one-to-one rank like the court officials, and the money and food they received were often determined by the official positions they held.

Take Zhang Anshi as an example, his official positions are General Right and Guangluxun respectively, so the rank is based on Guangluxun's true 2,000 stones.

Today, in the Southern Army or the Northern Army, the most basic military unit is the captain.

Whether it is a lieutenant general of the Southern Army or a lieutenant of the Northern Army, the strength under his jurisdiction is between 2,000 and 3,000 people. Their rank is more than 2,000 stones, which is equivalent to the rank of the lieutenant and the lieutenant of the county.

That is to say, according to the normal situation, the number of Chang Yi Lang should also be between 2,000 and 3,000 people.

With 300 people now, there is still a long way to go before this post.

"I want them to step up their practice, I hope they can take the lead as soon as possible."

"According to Your Majesty's requirements, these people are all honest and responsible peasant children of Changyi Country, and all of them can bear hardships and stand hard work, Your Majesty can rest assured." Gong Sui must be handy in rectifying them.

"These new Changyi Langs, are they all willing to turn into recruits?" Liu He asked.

"When I was recruited, I asked clearly, and they were all willing to stay in Chang'an for a long time."

There is no absolute good or bad in everything, take this recruitment as an example—it is bad in the hands of the ministers, and good in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

"Have you allotted all the land I have given them?"

"Before they set out, it had been allocated to each family, and each household was a hundred acres of upper fields."

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, only those who have made military merits can obtain the land allocated by the state, but the additional rewards of the Son of Heaven are naturally not among them.

Liu He can't reward all the Han soldiers with land now, but at least he must feed these "private soldiers of the Son of Heaven" first.

What's more, this can also play a role in buying bones.

After the return of the hundreds of thousands of troops who had conquered the Xiongnu, Liu He must form a new army.

This was not only to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the Han army, but also to completely eliminate the intricate forces of the Huo Party in the army.

At that time, these three hundred Changyi Lang will become an important part of this new army, so it is even more necessary to invest in them.

"Then there will be Lao Gongqing in this matter." Liu He said flatly.

"Your Majesty's words are serious." Gong Sui hurriedly said.

After asking about the "knife handle", you have to ask about the "money bag".

"Bingqing, how much input can Shaofu have this year?" Liu He asked Bingji.

"This year, my Han is also considered to be in good weather, there are no natural disasters, and no one is in trouble, Weichen took the subordinate officials in the temple this month to calculate, and the Shaofu has about 800 million yuan in income."

The money and grain that Shaofu can receive is about one-third of that of Dasi Nong, so it seems that Dasi Nong can receive at least more than 2 billion yuan in rent this year.

Whether it is Shaofu or Dasi Nong, the rent collected must be enough for next year's expenses, and there will definitely be a lot left.

The new farm tools were only fully promoted in the Sanfu area in this autumn, and for the time being, too much effect has been seen, at least until this time next year to see the benefits of this move to the world.

Many things are not in a hurry; It's in a hurry, and it's useless.

"In the rent, what percentage of the money, grain, cloth and silk will be shared?" Liu He asked.

"All kinds of fabrics account for 10 percent, money accounts for 3 percent, and all kinds of grain account for 60 percent."

Among the rents of the Han Dynasty, the land rent was mainly to pay grain, the mouth money was mainly calculated by payment, and high-value items such as silk could also be converted into money.

A portion of this huge amount of rent will be kept in the county to cover the daily expenses of the various prefectures; Most of the rest was to be transported to the Sanfu area to provide for the expenses of the court and the palace.

In this rent, although the proportion of money is not high, Liu He is generally satisfied.

With this money, some of the things to be done in the coming year will be much smoother.

"I hope that Shaofu can build a few more warehouses and stock up on more corn now, so that if there is a natural or man-made disaster in the coming year, I can also give porridge to save the people."

"How much does Your Majesty want to stockpile?" Bingji asked.

"The more the merrier, even if the price of corn is higher, it doesn't matter."

Of course, buying millet and rice is not only to help more victims, but also to make some preparations for many things.

In this eventful season, it always doesn't hurt to have more hard grain in your hands.

Just as Liu He was about to discuss with Bingji where to build the warehouse office, Cai Yi staggered from the courtyard to the main hall.

Because Liu He sat at the top of the main hall, he was also the first to see Cai Yi walk in.

Seeing the panicked look on the other party's face, Liu He's hidden uneasiness in his heart slowly poked out a little.

Immediately, Liu He raised his hand to interrupt Bingji's words.

After a while, Cai Yi, who was covered in sweat, walked into the main hall.

Liu He looked at it, Cai Yi was empty-handed, and the edict he had just brought out was not in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Something big is wrong. Cai Yi didn't care about saluting the Son of Heaven, so he said in a panic.

Liu He remained silent, but sneered.

The hanging stone in my heart finally fell to the ground - the "surprise" that should have come has finally come.

It's just right at this moment, I want to see how big this "surprise" of my middle father is.

"It's the edict I brought, didn't the Shangshu Department use a seal?" Liu He asked.

"It's not, the general is not here, only Shang Shucheng is here, he used the seal happily, and the copy has begun to be copied, and the general has already explained to them yesterday."

"Then what made Cai Qing so alarmed?"

"Great, great general, he ......"

Cai Yi is indeed a little old, maybe because he is in a hurry, he was stuck in his throat by a mouthful of phlegm at this moment, and he kept coughing.

Zhang Anshi and the others around hurriedly sent the tea.

Liu He's heart also hung again.

No, his middle father couldn't think about it for a while, so he was so angry.

In that way, it got rid of a big trouble, but it also meant that Huo Yu and they lost the biggest checks and balances.

That's not necessarily a good thing.

Liu He didn't dare to urge, so he could only pretend to be calm and wait for Cai Yi to finish coughing.

Finally, the poor Cai Yi finally finished coughing, and the whole person gradually eased up.

"Cai Qing, what's wrong with this general?" Liu He continued to ask.

"The general said that he was sick and took leave, saying that he was a repeat offender of wind and cold, and he was dizzy and inconvenient to move around, so he could only handle military affairs in the general's mansion for a few days."

"This is Shang Shucheng in the Shangshu Department told the old man, this morning, the general sent someone to the Shangshu Office to deliver a letter, according to the system, he will personally write to His Majesty today to say goodbye."

The wind chill has not healed? Dizziness? Unable to move around?

Yesterday, Huo Guang was still aggressive in the front hall, how could he fall ill all of a sudden, and he had to go to the book to take leave?

"Ladies and gentlemen, has the middle father ever taken leave due to illness before?" Liu He asked coldly.

Several of the courtiers shook their heads slightly with worried faces.

Huo Guang has been diligent for more than ten years, and almost never took leave, from this point of view, he can indeed be regarded as the number one loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Before Liu He could tell the truth of Huo Guang's illness, Wei Xuancheng, the head of the Menxia Temple, also hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard, and he still had a few pieces of rice paper in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is a document that the general just sent to call for sick leave."

really said Huo Guang, Huo Guang will arrive.

"Bring it in." Liu He said.

"No!"

Liu He took the book and read it at a glance, which was not much different from what Cai Yi had just said.

"Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to do." Wei Xuancheng continued.

"Well, what's the matter?"

After some hesitation, Wei Xuancheng presented the other pieces of rice paper in his hand to the Son of Heaven's case in an orderly manner.

"Prime Minister Ren Gong, Taichang Lecheng, and Dasi Farmland Yannian, all wrote to say that they were sick and on leave."

Liu He didn't touch the leave papers—he didn't want to read any of them.

Now, he understood what Huo Guang wanted to do.

His exasperated gaze seemed to burn the rice paper to ashes.

I want to force myself to obey by suspending work and boycotting the dynasty, does my middle father really treat me as a stinky young child!
