Chapter XVIII Appointments

The content of the Beihai Alliance spread among the army within ten days after the prisoner returned to Takayanagi.

This kind of thing is not hidden, for young people like Shu Prisoner, who have been accepted by Sishang since childhood, and those who have grown up with the theory of interest analysis, when they get together, they will also talk about the pros and cons of it.

An era in which young people from a village community can talk on paper may not be the most magnificent era, but it must be an era in which there is at least hope.

From a specific point of view, Shu Prisoner Mi originally did not have the opportunity to talk about policy with others, because if he was going to the border fort, he would be very busy.

But after he returned to Takayanagi, he received an order not to let him lead the team back, but transferred him to stay in Takayanagi, and the specific task has not yet been arranged.

In addition to him, there are many young non-commissioned officers who have received such an order.

There are many theories, some say that these people want to return to Sishang to study, and the future is unlimited; It is said that they should escort Solu Shen back to Sishang; There is also a saying that they will be transferred back to Sishang.

There are different opinions, and they are all speculations, and the level of Shu Prisoner Mi can't get access to the exact news, but he also feels that there may be some big moves on the Mo family's side.

Soon after returning to Takayanagi, his sister went to the grassland with some people, and it is unclear when she will return.

He studied every day in Gaoyanagi, and there were some old ink scholars who gave lectures. Sometimes, Solushen will also tell them about what he has seen and heard along the way, and tell them stories that are thousands of miles away.

They are all very good stories, Shu Prisoner Mi left Sishang, knew how big Zhuxia was, so he wanted to know how big the world was, and these stories brought by Suo Lu Shen satisfied his curiosity.

After a leisurely month, autumn was approaching, and the weather was already a little cooler, and the corn, buckwheat, and wheat planted outside Takayanagi Castle were already able to arouse the joy of the farmers.

One day at the end of July, it was Takayanagi's bazaar, and the prisoner had officially received his appointment the day before: he had been appointed as the company commander of a company of foot knights in Takayanagi, and the original company commander had been transferred out to follow Soluzan south tomorrow.

He also officially received the commendation order, and at the same time became a sergeant among the volunteers, and should be one of the youngest sergeants, which is something to celebrate.

In a few days, those who were transferred to follow Solushen south will depart, which is a parting, and it is a thing worth having a drink.

Today's bazaar is another rotational holiday, so he went out to drink with a few acquaintances who had experienced life and death together before, and had studied together for a period of time this month.

The market is bustling with people.

Wool, sheepskins, horses, cattle, donkeys, salt, alkaline flour of the steppe.

Ironware, glass, handicrafts, woollen fabrics, liquor, and spirits brought in from afar or produced in local workshops......

Some are bartered, while others are purchased with locally issued money.

Although the local farmers had few taxes, and the military was exempt from taxes in lieu of blood taxes, there were many places where they had to spend money, and the price of grain purchased here was very low.

The special local policies have also made it impossible for the local handicraft industry to develop at all, and the policy of reclamation and cultivation has been vigorously implemented, and there is basically no free labor force.

When the per capita land area is sufficient, the local cottage industry cannot develop at all, and the trouble of growing some linen cloth by yourself is far worse than exchanging surplus grain for cotton cloth produced by Mojia workshops.

These situations have been experienced by Shu Zhumi, and he has also seen changes in the future in the years of his own growth.

For example, the paper-making workshop in their village community was only the property of all the people in the village community, and they participated in the labor together. At that time, even if they wanted to hire people, there was no one to hire, and every time they went to Sishang, the Mo family would organize themselves, either cultivating the land or sending them to the government-run workshops.

Shu Zhuqi remembers that when he was seven or eight years old, he often had to go to the paper workshop of the village community and watch the people in the village community tear paper on the very hot walls.

When he was twelve or thirteen years old, a canal for irrigation was repaired, and he was passing through their village, which had been boiling pulp from wood instead of black coal, all from a large nearby mine.

It is not expensive, and it also saves people to go to the mountains to chop wood and prepare wood, and it is even hotter to burn.

By the time he was fourteen or fifteen years old, there were seven or eight outsiders in the paper-making workshop of the village community, who had come from the Song Dynasty.

It is said that they originally rented the fields of some nobles for a living, but later the nobles who rented the fields began to cooperate with others and started to manage the fields, planting indigo grass and cotton on the land they had rented.

At that time, cotton cloth was sold very well, especially in the Yue country, and the price of cotton and indigo was very expensive, and many landowners in the Song Kingdom began to buy iron tools, reclaim the rented land, and hire those who were repossessed to plant and operate.

So many people left the Song Dynasty and traveled along Surabaya to Pei County, and it was around this time that the hired workers came to the workshop of their village.

The workshops of the village community also began to change, from the beginning everyone had to work, to everyone holding a part of the shares, and then working had an income from work, and if they didn't work, they only had dividends, and then some people began to stop working.

Then they began to be able to hire hired workers, and they began to work in the workshops of the village community, receiving a certain amount of money every month in return.

The people of the village community seem to be getting lazier and lazier, and they spend money on the construction of a hydraulic pestle with wood pulp and pulp, which they originally need to be mashed by manpower, because it is still very expensive to hire workers at this time, and it is more advantageous to build such a hydraulic pestle.

Shu Zhuqi remembered that when he was 14 years old, the Mo family no longer forced all those who came to Sishang to work in cultivation or join the government-run workshops, but carried out a slight change in a different way: the Mo family recruited more and more people who came to Sishang to work at a fixed price, so as to force the private workshops that had appeared to have to hire people at a higher price, otherwise they would not be able to hire people at all.

Even though many people came to Sishang, in those years, Shu Prisoner Mi remembered that Sishang was developing rapidly, there was a shortage of people everywhere, and it was still not cheap to hire a person, and all kinds of hydraulic machinery began to appear and be built in private workshops.

This is the memory of the changes in the village community workshop from the age of five or six to sixteen or seventeen, so he saw some of the situations in Gaoliu today and felt very familiar, but he also knew that it would take many, many years for Gaoliu to be able to have the appearance of Peixian.

There are few people, and the road is not repaired, and there is no convenience for Surabaya to converge until the Huaishui ditch to communicate the Yangtze River and go north to the Central Plains.

These truths that may be considered quite profound elsewhere in the world, have been exposed to it since childhood, and have heard a lot, and sometimes some will be instilled in the school, even if they don't understand it at the time, after going outside to see, they will gradually understand.

Although he has not yet learned some really advanced things, he can already talk to people at the wine table and give directions.

The few people gathered together were all non-commissioned officers who were generally in charge of a Sima or a company of volunteers, and the prisoner was taking advantage of the prosperity outside to say something about his understanding of the world, so he raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine with a few people as a farewell.

I only said that I wish them to leave this place, but they are still in the world, and we must remember to take it as our own responsibility for the world.

The people who gathered together, such as the prisoners, stayed here.

For example, mare's milk and others went to Sishang in the name of escorting Solu Shen back to Sishang.

What exactly they were going to do, these people didn't know, but they just said that there were other arrangements after they arrived in Sishang.

If someone observes carefully, they will find that most of these people who are transferred are the backbone of the army, mostly cavalry, and their equestrian skills are generally very good, and most of them are young people and have no marriage.

Naturally, these people who were transferred did not know exactly what they were going to do, and it was rumored that they would go to Sishang for formal study and then reschedule.

It looks like it's all promising, and it's good.

However, what they didn't know was that as early as a few months ago, there were a few letters from Sishang, and the contents of the letters were top secret, and only more than ten people such as Qu Jiang could know about them.

The letter gave a general introduction to the activities of the Mo family in Bashu, and now Qin Jun, with the help of Sheng Xuan and others, has changed the law, concentrated power, expanded externally, and increased his prestige.

Because of this, Suolushen could not return to Middle-earth by the same route, so he could only bypass the tribes of the Qiang people and follow the Yellow River to Gaoliu.

The Qin people seem to have the intention of attacking Nanzheng, and the Mo family relies on the prestige brought by the water control work in Shu and the salt industry and mercury mining industry over the years, as well as the marriage between the emperor and the daughter of the Shu emperor, under the rumors that the Qin people want to invade Nanzheng, the king of Shu hopes to make a fence to defend Nanzheng in order to reward him for his work in controlling water.

One is to prevent the turtle spirit from taking Du Yu's position to control the water again, and the other is that the Qin people do have the saying of invading Nanzheng, which is a difficult place on the border, and the rich Hanzhong in later generations is fashionable and barbaric, and the nobles of Shu are not willing to go.

The status of Nan Zheng Shou is actually similar to that of Gongzao Ye in Pengcheng back then, under the organization of the Mo family, he can't do anything alone, he, Nan Zheng Shou, just wants a good name in the King of Shu, in fact, he is still in charge of the Mo family's organization.

Therefore, the Sishang side hoped that the Takayanagi side would send some grassroots, experienced combat, young, and potential officers to Nanzheng to build the army's shelves first.

In addition, it is also necessary to send some people who are proficient in cavalry combat and have good riding skills to continue to train cavalry on the Sishang side and strengthen the cavalry strength in Sishang.

This matter is also not independent, and it is also linked to the upcoming civil strife in the Zhao State. The judgment made by Si Shang's side based on the analysis of various aspects is that even if Wei Hanqi intervenes, that is, it revolves around the siege of the city, because after all, it is only an interference in internal affairs and inheritance issues, and the foundation of the Three Jin Alliance is there, and occupying the city and ceding land will cause serious dissatisfaction among the nobles of the Zhao State.

Therefore, the intensity of the war will not be very large, and the Mo family came forward to organize the defense of Zhongmu and Handan, tired of the strength of Wei and Han, and the army on Gaoliu's side watched from the sidelines: waiting to negotiate the conditions with Gongzi Zhang, and the conditions did not talk about the dragon and not send troops.

When the time comes, send troops, that is, to recruit some aristocratic cities that support the Gongzi Dynasty, and cooperate with the private soldiers of the nobles of the Zhao State who support Gongzi Zhang to go to Zhongmu Handan and force the Wei State away.

This is after the appointment, and these young people don't know it.

All they know is that they have received the appointment, heard all kinds of rumors and statements, and then seriously accepted the appointment, and then get together with their friends again to say goodbye, after all, the world is too big to see each other again.

(Sorry, it's still a change due to illness)
