Chapter 103: The Great Tide of History
This year, only about one-third of households are spring sown.
Basically, for various reasons, they did not plant winter wheat after the autumn harvest last year, and they are going to continue planting millet this spring.
The speed of promoting a thing is very slow, and even if the upper level attaches importance to it, the execution is still very problematic.
Therefore, in early February this year, Shao Xun mainly planted fruits and vegetables, and the location was still in Xuchang Palace.
"From February to June, you can grow melons." Shao Xun said while digging a pit in the ground.
Wang Xuan stood aside, watching with his hands in his sleeves.
He doesn't understand, you can do it well, you really plant?
Yes, Shao Xun is a real species, and he specially classified the bow room of Xuchang Palace as his vegetable furrow.
The Ju room was very large, so it was basically cultivated by him and 400 personal soldiers.
Cai Cheng combed the vegetable furrow in another field and prepared to plant the spring sunflower.
Liu Ling is planting leeks.
Yuan Xi is planting shallots.
Yang Bao's son Yang Qin is growing coriander.
Everyone is busy.
Wang Xuan watched from the sidelines, but he was also a little touched, so he smiled and said, "Ming Gong left a piece of land for me." β
"Okay." Shao Xun agreed, then pointed to a small forest not far away, and said, "That piece of land is for you, plant lotus, and use it when cooking meat." This thing can only be planted in the shade of a tree, and that piece is just right. β
"It doesn't need to be that big, does it?" Wang Xuan said that he just wanted to mean it, just play, and didn't really want to make any effort to grow vegetables.
"Plant some more orchids in the open space outside the shade. See that jujube tree? In mid-March, the jujube trees can be planted when they grow leaves. Shao Xun said.
"This ......" Wang Xuan's mouth was a little bitter.
Shao Xun laughed and said, "Since you are in a hurry to send it to the door, how can I let you go?" There is no lotus, orchid, when cooking meat is always almost tasted, rest assured, it will be harvested in September, when the autumn harvest is over, I will take the sons into the mountains to hunt, please eat meat. The sauerkraut dug out of the root will also be sent to you. β
The pro-soldiers next to him laughed secretly.
has been by Chen Gong's side for a long time, and now they especially like to watch big people eat deflated.
Chen Gongzhen picked up dung to irrigate the garden, thinking that he was an example, can Wang Xuan do this? They would love to see it.
Wang Xuan ignored the ill-intentioned gazes of the sergeants, took two steps closer, and asked while helping Shao Xun throw melon seeds into the pit: "My father asked me to ask, what do you mean by asking for General Chong this time?" β
General Zhichong is the fifth rank officer, and there are currently people, and there are no vacancies. Wang Yan may be a little strange, why do you want such a general to be occupied? Or an empty general with no soldiers.
Moreover, Shao Xun is the general of the third rank of Pingdong, and what does it mean to lead the general of the fifth grade?
Theoretically, it's not impossible, but it's a bit weird.
Moreover, he also took the position of "Beizhong Lang General Zhenheyang", which is the leader of the third, fourth and fifth generals.
"Can you be a prefect?" Shao Xun asked.
"Of course I know." Wang Xuan replied.
Not only did he know, but he also studied it carefully. I also know that the previous government soldiers were elite, and most of the current government soldiers are indiscriminate. For example, of the thousands of soldiers newly placed in Gaoping, only a quarter of them have horses, and one-sixth have armor, and their combat effectiveness is very different from the previous ones.
"Do you know why it's called 'Fu Bing'?"
"Could it be the meaning of 'military government'?"
Shao Xun cast an admiring look and said, "It's the meaning of the military government." The general opened the palace with the three divisions, called the 'military government'. β
"But General Zhechong can't open the mansion."
Shao Xun paused and said, "Yes, it's me who is in the picture." β
"What do you mean?"
Shao Xun laughed and said, "This is a Futu term, which means obsessed with the foreign minister. β
After speaking, he said: "General Zhechong really can't open the mansion, what is the vacancy of the general now?" β
"General Long Xiang." Wang Xuan said: "I wanted to give it to the right guard general Li Yun, but I didn't give it after the defeat of Xin'an. β
"How can Li Yun be able to open a mansion?" Shao Xun sneered.
"Li Yun naturally can't open the mansion." Wang Xuan said: "If Duke Ming wants General Long Xiang, he has no choice. β
"The court is getting more and more generous year by year. Two or three years ago, I couldn't have imagined. Shao Xun teased.
Wang Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Let's get down to business." If the Ming Duke wants to open an additional mansion, the adjutant must be different, right? β
"The Captain really got the hang of me." Shao Xun said with emotion.
Wang Xuan waited quietly for him to continue.
"Indeed, adjutant officers are different, and perhaps the imperial court needs to create some ministry officers for me." Shao Xun no longer concealed it and said.
Wang Xuan was speechless for a while.
This is a reform of the bureaucratic system, and it is not a trivial matter.
For the time being, all official positions are theoretically "official positions", that is, official positions with specific work content. But in fact, since the Han Dynasty, some official positions have gradually become "scattered officials", and there are no specific positions, and they belong to additional officials and American officials.
Shao Xun wants to set up ministers, which is a big deal.
To put it seriously, creating one's own official position is a rebellion.

"What? Hard? Shao Xun continued to dig pits and plant melons, and asked casually.
"If Ming Gong wants it, what is not difficult?" Wang Xuan's face changed for a while, and he said: "It's just that for the sake of the reputation of the Ming Gong, it is best to pick and choose from the existing ministers, and my father will find a way to vacate some official positions for the Ming Gong." In this way, the requirements are met, but not dazzling. β
"The captain is really thoughtful." Shao Xun smiled: "It's not impossible, but how many official positions can be freed up for me?" β
"How much does Ming Gong want?" Wang Xuan's expression was a little solemn.
He had a hunch that this time it might be as simple as asking for a few official positions.
"There are 300 soldiers in the government, and I intend to put four defenses in one house." Shao Xun said: "There are several official positions. β
Wang Xuan was shocked.
The word "house" is still relatively precious at this time, not the kind of bad street, because it is often associated with the opening of the house.
The conditions for the opening of the mansion are extremely harsh, and the glory and respect of the opening of the mansion are incomparably high, how can it be lightly awarded?
"It's just more than a thousand people, why don't you change it to a battalion? No, let's be the governor. Wang Xuan suggested.
"Battalion" is actually more noble.
The main body of the Luoyang Chinese Army is the Suwei Seventh Army, also known as the Suwei Seventh Battalion.
The battalion has a few thousand people and a maximum of nearly 20,000 soldiers, which is not a small establishment.
"Governors" are much more flexible, and there are those who supervise hundreds of people and tens of thousands of people.
Shao Xun thought for a while, and felt that it was better to cover it up a little, so he nodded and said: "Then call it the Governor of the Division, and there are subordinate generals, deputy generals, subordinates and other generals, and other officials." β
These are all seven, eight, and nine-grade official positions, although they are not high, but they are genuine officials.
Wang Xuan was sweating profusely when he heard this.
This time, it was probably the one that Chen Gong claimed the most official positions.
There are so many officials in command of 1,200 people, and tens of thousands of soldiers can't ask for dozens of officials? Probably more than that.
Although the imperial court will definitely not give these officials a salary, it is just a name, but the name is not something that can be given easily, you have to consider the reaction of the family.
What's more, Wang Xuan is also a scholar, and he instinctively rejects this kind of thing.
Officials such as the governor of the department, the general of the department, the chief history of the department, and the Sima of other departments, think about it, and know that they were promoted from within the existing government soldiers, and at least dozens of soldiers have ascended to heaven, and suddenly got rid of the identity of "Qiantou" and became "officials".
The benefits of an official are huge, even if there is no specific position, just a small loose official, that is also an official.
The scholars and heroes could not be easily humiliated, and seeing that the officials had seats and their status was transcendent, it was simply a change of life against the sky for the majority of Qian's leaders, and completely opened their upward channel.
"Why does Ming Gong have to do this?" Wang Xuan smiled bitterly.
"Without him, it's just the heart of a soldier." Shao Xun said without hesitation.
"Can't you wait a few years?"
"It's rare to be free this year." Shao Xun said: "If you wait any longer, maybe you will go on the expedition, and you don't have that energy." β
Hearing the word "expedition", Wang Xuan sobered up a little.
If the Huns come, it is true that only Chen Gong can go on the expedition, alas.
"This matter will be criticized and even attacked." Wang Xuan reminded.
"It's not a big deal." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Even if there is criticism, Taiwei is a famous man in the world, and he will definitely be able to suppress it." β
"Isn't that a big deal?" Wang Xuan said.
Think about it, the local counties and counties batch produce all kinds of seven, eight or nine rank officials filled by soldiers, what do you think of the nobles? They're used to being powerful.
"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things." Shao Xun said: "There are only a few dozen officials now. If the court does not give it, the morale of the army will be dissipated. β
Lao Tzu hasn't asked for the establishment of a system of honors, you can't stand it, how can you fix it in the future?
In history, the rise of a large number of military attachΓ©s and nobles in the middle and late Northern and Southern Dynasties slowly cut the roots of the family and made them degenerate to the "monkey version of the family" in the Sui and Tang dynasties - Shao Xun called the family in the middle of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and before the "genuine family", and the family in the Sui and Tang dynasties was called the "monkey version of the family" after being seriously weakened, and the energy of the two was not at the same level.
The troubled times have arrived, and a new class has sprouted, which is an irresistible tide.
It is the most correct to follow the trend, history has given an answer that is in line with the level of productivity, social atmosphere and values at this time, if you go against the sky, you don't know what price you have to pay, and it is a regression of civilization.
Wang Xuan was worried.
Reform is always painful because it touches on the interests.
If there is no way to do it, who will agree to reform?
Being messed up like this by Chen Gong, the martial arts group is bound to share more benefits.
The world is so big, if you eat more, I will eat less, this is a well-known thing.
Fortunately, he is still quite measured, as long as he has such a little bit, he can barely be justified.
But he fears this is just the beginning. Thinking about it with his toes, he also knows that Chen Gong will set up a wide range of government soldiers in the future, further ask for more official positions, and please the hearts of his soldiers.
The overall rise of martial artists, although many people do not like it, seems to be unstoppable.
"Meizi should go back and discuss it with the captain, and then pay the court." Shao Xun advised: "I'll just wait at home, it's better to hurry." β
Wang Xuangang thought that maybe he could use the word "drag" to deal with it passively, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to immediately block his way.
This person is clear about officialdom routines, but he never uses any conspiracy and trickery, only oppresses people with general power.
This kind of person is often the most difficult to deal with.
Wang Xuan arched his hand, although the warm sun was new, he felt an indescribable coolness.
