Chapter 56: The Original Structure of Interests

"General, we are a regular army, not horse thieves!"

Qian Song, the star officer in charge of military discipline, once again made a statement to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo raised his hand and rubbed his bald head and said, "It's just shaving your hair, you have to take care of this?" ”

Qian Song helplessly pointed to the bald Li Dingguo's guards and said: "If there is something good at the top, it will be good at the bottom." ”

Li Dingguo said: "You know a fart, it's cool!" ”

Qian Song tightened his clothes when he heard this, the autumn grass at the end of September was dry and cold, and it was too much to talk about coolness at this time, the reason why the general shaved his hair was purely a whim!

"General, you are going back to Lantian to attend the conference, and when the time comes, you will not wear a helmet, but wear a robe, and your bare head will be unsightly."

"Did Yun Yang ever have a hair on his head?"

"General, this is incomparable, General Yunyang doesn't have hair on his head."

"Get out of the way, or I'll whip you."

"In that case, the last general will put this on record."

"Whatever."

Seeing Li Dingguo leave the camp with a group of bald bandits on horseback, Qian Song could only sigh and shouted to the onlookers: "Look at what you see, those who dare to shave their hair will be engaged in military law." ”

The soldiers let out a laugh and slowly dispersed, after all, the military judge could laugh, but the orders he issued could not be disobeyed.

Li Dingguo galloped on the grassland, but his mood did not change as empty as the grassland.

This year, there was not much rain on the grasslands, and the grass in many grasslands was only an inch long, and what was worse was that the rain did not fall until the beginning of autumn, and the large and small ditches, streams, and lakes all over the grassland also dried up.

The drought has greatly reduced the range of pastures, and the herders who used to spread all over the grasslands have gathered to places where there is water, which has further exacerbated the tension in the pastures.

At this time of year, it is the fattest time for cattle and sheep, but this year, if it is not done, the autumn fat of cattle and sheep is not pasted, and it is difficult to survive the cold winter.

Standing on the high slope of Ma, Li Dingguo looked at the endless grassland, and was very confused.

He considered himself a qualified general.

However, he, as a general, now has to take care of the shepherds, as well as the affairs of cattle and sheep, which makes his heart empty, and he does not know where to start.

In the past, the Lantian people had no obligation to the shepherds on the grassland.

Cattle and sheep are sick, pastures are degraded, and there is no water to drink.

When the time comes, a robbery can effectively reduce the number of herdsmen, as well as cattle and sheep, and after doing so, the remaining herdsmen, cattle and sheep will naturally have enough water sources and pastures.

In that era, the Lantian people took on the responsibilities of the wolf pack...... Responsible for eliminating the weak and retaining the strong.

Not now, their wolves have become sheepdogs.

Shepherds, who paid taxes and provided meat and large livestock for the Lam Tin, became more and more important in the Lam Tin system, so it was natural for them to seek help from the government when they were in trouble.

Therefore, the water source is reduced, the grassland is degraded, and the cattle and sheep can't stick to the autumn fat, it's his business, and if he doesn't handle this matter well, he won't have the face to go back to Lantian, let alone face Zhang Guozhu's disgusting face.

It is a shame to say, but the most important task of the majestic Li Dingguo army now is to find the remaining good pasture and water source for these herdsmen.

After finding a good pasture and water source, you are also responsible for clearing the wolves around the pasture.

Lantian's "Civil Law" makes it very clear that if the shepherd is taken away by a wolf, it is the government's dereliction of duty and compensation is required.

In the past, the aquatic plants around Lantian City were the most abundant, and the place less than fifty miles away from Lantian City was the Eilechuan, but unfortunately, the place suitable for growing pasture grass was generally also very suitable for growing crops.

The current Eilechuan River has long been reclaimed into fertile land by the farmers to which Lantian belongs.

After nine days without gain, Li Dingguo shaved his hair in irritation.

"I am a wolf from the north, standing in the endless wilderness, the terrible north wind blowing, the long yellow sand sweeping, I can only grit my cold teeth, and give two long howls...... Not for anything else...... Just for the legendary beautiful grassland. ”

Li Dingguo looked indifferently at the bald bastard who was singing, he had heard this song countless times, it was sung by Yun Zhao when he was bored in Lantian City, and now there are many people who can sing this song.

Hearing it at this time, Li Dingguo felt that this was humiliating him.

"Let's go, enter Yin Mountain."

Li Dingguo knocked his feet on the belly of the war horse, and took the lead in running to Yinshan.

According to the meteorological records of Lantian City, it will snow here in half a month, and if a large area of pasture cannot be found, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep will start to be slaughtered in large quantities.

In the coming year, the shepherds' cattle and sheep will be lost by at least half.

The cavalry scattered, valley by valley, valley by valley, as long as there was water and grass in this valley, they would record it, and then quickly tell the civil magistrate, and began to disperse the shepherd's cattle and sheep.

Zhang Guofeng is doing the same thing, and the two of them haven't seen each other for two months.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and when the clouds hung over his head, Li Dingguo's steel-like beard was already half an inch long, and his hair was out of his scalp, but he was in good spirits.

After all, they found thirteen valleys suitable for the shepherds to spend the winter.

It is not difficult to find the right valley, but it is difficult to get rid of the wild things that Panheng is here.

Under the Yin Mountain, the most wild animals are yellow sheep, and there are many wolves where there are many yellow sheep.

The meat of the yellow sheep is delicious, but it has little effect on the blue field, this kind of sheep has little economic value, whether it is meat or skinning, and the wool is not comparable to the sheep raised.

The use of grenades, cavalry, bows and arrows, muskets, and even light artillery finally drove away the wild creatures, and vacated one decent pasture after another.

As for how those wild things survive the winter, Li Dingguo has never thought about these things.

The shepherds who gathered in Lantian City had already been settled, and Li Dingguo could finally sleep in his tent with peace of mind.

Zhang Guofeng was also extremely tired when he came back, and no matter who ran on the grassland for two months, he would be exhausted.

"Dingguo, the powers of the civil officials and the military officials should be completely separated, this is the bill I am going to put forward at the conference, what do you think?"

Li Dingguo didn't bother to open his eyes, and muttered, "You look at it." ”

Zhang Guofeng said again: "Don't you have a lot of ideas about army building? Not ready to say it? ”

Li Dingguo opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent and said, "I don't believe that Yun Zhao will really delegate power to this extent. ”

Zhang Guofeng said: "Until now, Yun Zhao has not broken his promise and fattened himself. ”

Li Dingguo sat up and patted his head and said: "I think Yunzhao has a lot of things, once these powers are delegated, we will have a lot of trouble in the future, many people will negotiate, and we must reach a certain proportion to pass the matter."

It is far less refreshing than Yun Zhao's one-man decision. ”

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: "Lantian is very big, he is obviously too busy alone, and politics is not only to look at the general direction, but also to take into account the details, it is a big matter in the thick and fine, and the fine in the coarse, it is better to discuss more." ”

"I heard from the pig that there is a disadvantage of this, that is, a large number of central government departments need to be set up, and then the corresponding ones will also be set up at the provincial level, I am afraid that the state capital and even the county will have the same department, which is convenient for vertical management.

There are too many people who eat official meals, which is not good for the people.

In addition, some people have put forward such a relative proposal as streamlining the administration of the army, which will reduce the burden on the people, but there will be problems in the safety of handling affairs.

Guofeng, in short, this conference is likely to be a confusing conference.

Don't bother with this. ”

Zhang Guofeng shook his head with a smile, and when he saw Li Dingguo fall asleep again, he walked out of the military tent.

The soldiers in the barracks are always very busy, the pasture has been found, and the army has to help the herdsmen prepare hay, seeing the piles of hay being bundled into a bundle and loaded on ox carts to be transported out of the barracks, the smile on Zhang Guofeng's face has not disappeared.

He likes to watch scenes like this.

Because this is the scene of the prosperous era, the army is helping the people, not harming the people.

He is different from Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo grew up in the robber's den since he was a child, and he did not receive a good guide, he always thought of human nature very badly, as long as one point of a thing is bad, he will think that everything is bad.

This is the standard heroic idea, and it was with this idea that Cao Cao accidentally killed Lu Bohao's family.

Zhang Guofeng has been helping Li Dingguo all these years, hoping to change his heart, but unfortunately, the role has not been too big, and his living environment was not good when he was young, which made it difficult for him to trust people.

"General Dingguo is too freewheeling......"

Qian Song finally waited for Zhang Guofeng to come back, and then rushed to report what he had done in the barracks.

Zhang Guofeng stopped Qian Song from continuing and said to Qian Song: "Don't be too dogmatic, some people are born unrestrained. ”

Qian Song said: "I don't mean to tell the general of the country, as soon as the national congress opens, Lantian's characterization of the army will be completed, I heard from a fellow student that our army system is completely different from the previous army system, and there are very big changes."

The county honorifies this trip, the Gaojie Legion, the Lei Heng Legion, the Yunfu Legion, and the Yunyang Legion have all personally inspected it, but our county honorable has not seen it in person, so I am very worried.

General Dingguo is our leader, and if he is treated differently, then the impact on our legion will be greater. ”

Zhang Guofeng looked at Qian Song and sighed: "Do you know that kind of person that the county respects the most?" ”

Qian Song bowed and said, "Please give the general advice." ”

Zhang Guofeng said softly: "The county lord doesn't like to play with power the most, you have this kind of sign now, pinch it immediately, otherwise, it will not be beneficial to you in the future." ”

Qian Song sighed and said: "The interests of the country and small groups are really difficult to balance. ”
