At this time, Yun Shao heard the sound and also walked out, and when he heard that Duan Xiushi was visiting, he sat behind the screen and didn't dare to show up.

Gao Yue hurriedly walked out of the grass hall to greet him, who would have thought that Duan Xiushi instantly changed from slow to urgent, and helped him, and then the two bowed to each other, "Gao Zhengzi, you and I are friends, and you can't judge the superiority and inferiority of official positions." ”

It turned out that in the shogunate of the Tang Dynasty, the festival made the soldiers come over, it was necessary to treat them with courtesy, the two sides were the absolute guest of honor and friend, because the official of the curtain was in the imperial court, and was hired as a bureaucracy, strictly speaking, it could not be regarded as the subordinate of the festival envoy, if the shogunate was rude or rude to the guests who came to the expedition, it would be violently attacked by the government and the opposition, and it would be impossible to recruit talents in the future - so the five Fang towns who came to conquer Gaoyue all had humility and courtesy, and a humble attitude, which was called "courtesy". In the shogunate, the bond between the two sides was not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but courtesy, and the guests worked hard for the master, and the master of the shogunate had to give the guests preferential treatment to ensure his promotion, which was called "courtesy". Even if the guest offends the owner of the shogun, or disappoints the owner with his lack of ability to do things, it is impossible for the owner to fire him directly like a modern company boss, either to give him a suitable Beijing official to the imperial court, or to give the other party a large sum of money and send him out of the house, which is called "courtesy".

The shogunate does not treat the curtain guests as subordinates, and the curtain guests cannot look down on themselves, otherwise they will also be ridiculed: Li Guangbi used to be in the shogunate, and all the big and small affairs were handed over to the judge Zhang Wei, and the two have always been divided into courts, and another general, Tian Shengong, after becoming the envoy of Yanyun Festival, the judge Liu Wei and others bowed to him, Tian Shengong did not know at first, and later saw the number of etiquette between Li Guangbi and Zhang Wei, he was shocked, and asked himself why the judge Liu Wei was like this, Liu Wei replied, "The judge is the guest of the scene, so that the lord has no worship ceremony", Tian was panicked, hurriedly apologized to Liu Wei and others one by one; In the late Tang Dynasty, the king turtle (the name was ...... When the Eastern Zhejiang Regiment practiced the observation envoy, Fang Gan of Tonglu came to visit, and when he entered, he bowed to Wang Gui three times, which was criticized by the people, and got the joking nickname of "Fang Sanbai".

Gao Yue only knew that Duan was a border general, and he had to salute, but fortunately he was supported by Duan Xiushi in time, otherwise he would have to get the nickname of "Gao Sanbai".

Next, Duan Xiushi sat down in the grass hall and talked with Gao Yue, while Yun Shao and Zhi Hui sat behind the screen and listened.

Duan Xiushi directly confessed his intentions, he had just entered Beijing to meet His Majesty, and he had to give the first house, and he had sealed a hundred households, and now he came to recruit talents for Jingyuan.

"Qu Envoy Jun!" Gao Yue hurriedly said, and remembered that someone did come to the Jingyuan Jinju Academy yesterday, but before he could read the book, he was interrupted by the wealthy Xichuan Jinju Yuan.

Duan Xiushi smiled bitterly, saying that Gao Zhengzi was conscripted by five square towns at the same time yesterday, and the good name spread all over Chang'an City again.

Oh, I wonder what this person is doing here?

"But all of them were rejected, so Duan thought that he couldn't keep the plant before he got a reply from Gao Zhengzi, so he took the liberty to visit." Duan Xiushi paused, and then continued, "The Jingyuan Embassy needs a Confucian official and a government officer, who can be awarded the title of Taichang Taizhu, fifteen times a month, ten miscellaneous yuan, and 70,000 yuan. ”

When Duan Xiushi reported this, Yun Shao behind the screen understood why everyone else was reluctant to accept the reason for Jingyuan's expedition: the treatment was too low and shabby, my father recruited Songqing to be the county lieutenant of CD County, and the secretary of the shogunate, and he could get double portions of the material money, a total of fifty yuan, and thirty yuan of "miscellaneous money" specially allocated by the shogunate, not to mention the one-time salary of 400,000 yuan; Even if Song Qing is unwilling to go to the Jiannan Xichuan Shogunate, if he enters the Shuofang Shogunate, the sum of the materials and miscellaneous supplies will be forty yuan, and the hiring fee will be 200,000 yuan.

You must know that the Confucius official who went to Jingyuan, although he was higher than the pusher and the inspector in terms of the shogunate, but it was a direct subordinate of the judge, and he had to take care of the entire Jingyuan's upper and lower affairs, and the affairs were extremely complicated, not to mention that Jingyuan was in the barrier of Xifan's frequent invasion, which was not very safe, and this treatment was really not attractive.

But Yun Shao looked through the screen, and her husband Gao Yue didn't mean to refuse directly, but respectfully asked Duan Xiushi such a question: "Previously, when Wang Ma Zhenxi of Fufeng County was in Jingyuan, he set up mansions and gardens in Jing'anfang and Anyi Fang in the capital, and the cost of the Zhongtang alone was no less than 200,000 yuan, why is the treatment of the Jingyuan Shogunate when it was conquered is far inferior to other towns?" ”

Duan Xiushi shook his head, as if he fell into a melancholy memory, he explained to Gao Yue: "The Holy Lord's reward can only be enjoyed by Ma Zhenxi alone, and Ma Zhenxi does not dare to release it to his staff and soldiers. Now the situation in Jingyuan Town is that one side is narrow, and the state is poor, so once the number of dowries is said, it really makes Gao Zhengzi laugh. ”

understand, this kind of reward is just for the court to woo you, if you reward your subordinates, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the court, isn't this exactly the case with Guo Ziyi? At that time, Ma Zhenxi Ma Lan once suggested that the soldiers under his command collectively submit a letter, wanting to ask for the power of Tongping Zhangshi (that is, wanting to be the prime minister), but the result immediately alerted the imperial court, so he granted Ma Lan a rich reward and title, but never mentioned that let him be Pingzhangshi.

What's more, according to Duan Xiushi's next description, Gao Yue knew the reason why Jingyuan was so embarrassed: Originally, when Ma Lan first sat in Jingyuan, he had Jing, Yuan, Sui, Ning, Qing, Yan, Fang, Dan, and Yan Kyushu, which can be described as a heavy army, but soon the imperial court first ordered that the four states of Dun, Fang, Dan, and Yan be separated, and set up a separate Weibei Jiedu envoy, and then separated the three states of Sui, Ning, and Qing to Shuofang Jiedu envoys, and Yuanzhou was destroyed by the Western Fan - back and forth, and only Jingzhou was left under Ma Lan's jurisdiction.

Jingzhou guards the hole in the Xifan invasion pass, for the place of repeated battles, greatly barren and dilapidated, Ma Ling here to raise the four towns of Anxi and the camp of Beiting, feel very difficult, and then through the Longyou Jiedu to make Li Baoyu (Li Baozhen's cousin, now and Ma Lan in the same year) to the imperial court request, only to be approved to receive the tribute of Zheng, Ying, and Hua to raise the army (this is the means of the imperial court, although the Jingyuan Jiedu makes the tribute of other states from afar, and the actual territory is still only Jingzhou, which is convenient to control), the situation is eased.

But Jingyuan also became a first-class and a poor town, and the imperial court even listed its state as a state without nationality, and transferred money and grain from other states every year to replenish it.

"So in terms of materials, I'm really ashamed, and it's hard to talk to Gao Zhengzi." After speaking, Duan Xiushi bowed his head sincerely and said, "But now Jingyuan doesn't even have a judge, and Kong Muguan is actually a judge, as long as Gao Zhengzi can accept the expedition - Duan is willing to take out the money from the imperial court every month to be used as the money for Gao Zhengzi and his wife to settle in Jingzhou." ”
