Chapter 310: Zhigui
The envoy sent by Qin Wangzheng was named Yang ζ¨ (liΓ‘o), a descendant of the Yang family of Shaanxi County, Sanchuan County, and Yang Xiong, who had been the boss of the black husband, was a cousin.
Now Yang Yan is serving as a Lang official in Xianyang, although he is only a personal guard of the King of Qin in name, but in fact, Lang Guan can not only serve close to the left and right, participate in the consultation, carry out the army and guard, but also be ordered to send envoys, and his power is very great. Ordered by the king to go to the four directions to preach the message, it is also an errand that Lang officials often get.
Yang Yu came to Nanchang City to reward the soldiers of the Southern Expedition on behalf of King Qin.
"Sima Heifu of the other department marched south in October, exterminated the remnants of Jing Chu, subdued the Ganyue and Yangyue tribes, and made them dedicate their belongings, and the furs, drums, and swords of the Ganyue giants in the summer have been sent to Xianyang and entered the palace treasury."
Wang said, although the number of households in Yuzhang is small, he migrates the people day by day, and the head of Guizhou multiplies, which can also be a county land, and Nanchang can be the county government. This work of expanding the land for thousands of miles must not be rewarded, according to the law, the five doctors Heifu should be the lord of the left ......"
"Your Majesty, thank you!"
When Heifu heard this, he immediately faced the northwest and bowed his head from afar, and did a good job of joy and fear.
Yang Yu saw it in his eyes, nodded secretly, but said: "Don't worry, Zuo Shu, the king also asked his subordinates to give you the right to hold the gui." β
After speaking, Yang Yu smiled and handed over the silk book and a three-finger-wide, one-foot-long Mo Yugui to Heifu, who took it, only to feel that the tentacles were cold, and the words "Zuo Shu Chang" were written on it.
When Yang Yu read the edict of King Qin, everyone bowed their heads, Heifu, as the local commander, stood at the front, and Zhang Han, as the Sikong of Jiujiang County, stood behind him, he saw all this in his eyes, and he was a little envious in his heart.
"Heifu, Heifu, you started as a Qiantou, it has only been five years, it is very rare to break through the limit of the people, and it is very rare to be listed as the fifth doctor, and now it is even more out of the doctor, and it is among the kings, such a person, since Shang Jun changed the law, it is really unheard of......"
From the doctor to the five doctors, they are all considered to be the middle titles that match the "doctors" in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the left chief is different.
As the 10th-level title, Zuo Shuchang was the official name of one of the four ruling ministers of the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period. After Shang Ying entered the Qin Dynasty, he served as the chief of the left and presided over the reform of the law. After he changed the law, Zuo Shuchang was reduced to a military meritorious title and no longer had real power.
However, Zuo Shuchang is still the lowest title of the rank of "Qing", and it is difficult for those who have made great contributions to be promoted. At the beginning, Li You relied on the defeat and death of seven colleagues as a foil, and relied on a counterattack to break through and fight for 300 miles, which greatly raised the prestige of Qin, so he was regarded as a typical example by the King of Qin, and Zhuo Ba was the head of the left.
And Heifu's October expedition and the work of expanding thousands of miles of land are indeed enough, if the king of Qin throws ten Zuoshu chief titles out to expand the land for thousands of miles, wouldn't it be a big profit?
Heifu originally wanted to choose Jiangxi to lead the army alone, but he also took a fancy to this, if he continued to follow Li You's ass to fight Changsha and go to Cangwu, I am afraid he would not be able to reap so many benefits.
The huge gap between the chief of Zuo and the five doctors can be seen from the number of famous fields and houses enjoyed by the two, the five doctors have 25 hectares of land, 25 homestead houses, and can have 25 people.
And when he arrived at Zuo Shuchang, he jumped to 74 acres of fields, 74 houses, and 74 people!
This means that Heifu's real estate has tripled in an instant!
Not only that, but Zuo Chang also got the power to govern the court! Don't look at this as a thin little jade version, but since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been the prerogative of the Qing Dynasty.
The Lord of Zuo Shu Chang and Yugui are already counted as "names and instruments", and the King of Qin sent Yang Yu to give Heifu a knight and a gift, which is enough to show the importance he attaches to this young man who is not yet 23 years old.
"This degree of trust is about to catch up with the trust of Li Xin ten years ago, Meng Tian and Meng Yi five years ago."
Zhang Han secretly thought that the king of today is indeed a male lord who likes to use young people, because he likes their hard work to dare to open up, but it is a pity that Li Xin Mengtian was defeated once in the Chu State, and now the king's heart is not as good as before.
He is a smart person, so he secretly speculates that King Qin probably wants to promote Heifu, who has progressed step by step from Qiantou to Zuo Shuchang, as a typical example, so that talents who are born in the army will be more enthusiastic about fighting and making meritorious contributions.
Not to mention other people, even Zhang Han's eyes were hot when he saw it.
However, the Five Kingdoms have been destroyed, and the battle that should be fought has been completed, where else can they attack and make meritorious contributions?
He thought so in his heart, but he congratulated Heifu more than once: "In the thirteenth year of King Zhao, Bai Qi was the head of the left, and he will attack the new city of Han, Heifu's current position, but Wu Anjun once sit, you are the first step in the ambition of the marquis!" β
Yes, Heifu also has some anger in his heart, a year of hard work, thousands of miles of travel, in exchange for the weight of the title is indeed not light, but it is still only the last seat of the "next secretary", the road he has to go, there is still a long way to go.
Yang Xu's knighthood is not over yet, including Zhang Han, almost all the military officials in the Heifu Army have been rewarded.
Zhang Han served as the military commander in the battle of Chu, built barriers, and paved the way and bridges for Li Youjun, and built Nanchang City after the war, and finally rose from the original public doctor to the fifth doctor.
Zhao Tuo, the 500th master of the Lou boat, was also promoted from a doctor to an official doctor because of his efforts to relieve the siege of Peng Ze and kill Fanyang Jun.
Today's Fanyang fake lieutenant Lixian has made meritorious contributions as the mastermind several times and has been promoted to an official doctor.
After entering the territory of Jiangxi, because there were fewer battles, Dongmen Leopard did not have much merit, and the title was still an official doctor, and he was now arranged by Heifu to guard Luling Town.
Among the rest of the people, Xiao Tao, who was stationed in Shanggan and Limensai, was promoted to the official doctor, Gong Ao was the doctor, Ji Ying was the doctor, and Man and Anpu were both doctors.
Interestingly, because Yu Gan Wu Shen knew the current affairs enough, he took the initiative to surrender, paid tribute to the sword of Ganyue, and sent people to help Heifu build Nanchang City, and was also given the title of doctor.
In addition to the officers, what is surprising is that the soldiers below, but those who are not lower, almost everyone has a reward, and the general increase is a knighthood, which they have never thought of before, because since they entered Jiangxi, there have not been a few big battles, and there are not too many beheadings for everyone.
Everyone was celebrating happily, only Heifu faintly felt that things might not be so simple, this time, King Qin's generosity was a little too much. He has 3,000 people, and if the average person increases the land by 100 mu, he also needs 300,000 mu of land, and one-third of the public land in Nanjun will be gone.
Sure enough, after all the soldiers were happy, Yang Yu threw them another piece of news.
"The titles obtained by the three thousand generals and soldiers of the Southern Expedition should increase the land, all of which are drawn from the nearest place in the south of the Yangtze River, and those who are stationed in Nanchang open the land of Nanchang, those who are stationed in Fanyang open the land of Fanyang, and those who are stationed in Jiangxi open the land of Shangjiang......"
β¦β¦
As soon as he finished saying this, Heifu and Zhang Han immediately glanced at each other, and what the King of Qin wanted the soldiers to do happened to be what Zhang Han said.
For a moment, the two thousand soldiers below fell silent, and they looked at each other, not understanding what this meant.
Or did Gong Ao come to his senses and shouted: "Does this mean that we must not return home, but stay in the local farming?" β
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they reacted one after another, in this way, wouldn't they be forcibly relocated to Nanchang like those sons-in-law, prisoners, and subordinate concubines who had just arrived here a few days ago!
They worked hard for ten months, hoping for the stars and the moon and hoping to return to their hometown.
"We've worked so hard to get this quagmire wasteland?"
"Jiangnan is easy to get sick, and her husband died early!"
"The king, he will never do this to us."
"There must be traitors who are slandering and slandering!"
They even turned their angry eyes on Yang Xu, this white-faced little Lang official, could it be that he was pretending to spread the king's message?
A wave of grievances and dissatisfaction brewed among the soldiers, and the soldiers could not be calm, and when Gong Ao threw away his shirt in anger, shouting that he would rather not have land, threw away his knighthood and official uniform, and returned to his hometown naked, it reached its peak......
Yang Yu's face turned whiter, he was only in his early twenties, although he was from a prominent background, he had never seen such a scene, although he was ready for the soldiers to complain, but things happened so quickly, he didn't know what to do for a while, his steps were vain, and he was about to be forced back by the angry eyes of the soldiers.
Fortunately, at this time, a powerful hand patted him on the back, and at the same time, a loud shout sounded beside him.
"Bold!"
Sima of the other department spoke, and thousands of surging soldiers were silent for a moment!
Heifu's face was gloomy, and his gaze swept over, and everyone, including the unruly Gongao, hung their heads in awe, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Military law says, all punishments and those who are not punished are invited to die! Reward and please die to those who don't! β
"Second and third sons, don't make noise, be cautious! If there is any dissatisfaction, Ben Sima ......"
Heifu's voice became louder: "The chief of this house, he has the right to write directly, and he will ask the king and Xianyang for the second and third sons to understand!" But now, I hope that the second and third sons can first thank the king for his reward, and follow the king's order to open up the land and divide the fields! It's a real thing, it's a real thing! β
Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, and in the end, it was Gong Ao, who was the first to shout dissatisfaction, nodded to Heifu's old subordinates, gritted his teeth and bowed, and said loudly: "The ministers Gong Ao, thank you for the king's reward!" β
"Thank you for the king's reward!" Although this thank you is sparse, it has finally covered the almost boiling ding.
Zhang Han glanced at Heifu, and secretly said that he was surprised, just this situation, he was a little unable to clean up, it seems that Heifu's prestige among the soldiers in his hometown is extremely high.
After everyone quieted down again, Heifu arched his hand to Yang Xu, who was in a cold sweat, and said solemnly:
"The head of the army, the king's edict, should begin with the black man. Heifu was promoted from the five doctors to the chief of the left, and forty-nine hectares of land were divided into Nanchang, but where the land was opened, the soldiers chose first, and the remaining forty-nine hectares were the worst, please leave it to me! β
