Chapter 36: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country

The Xuanwei Army and the Guiming Shenwu Army went out to practice, and the city of Qinzhou suddenly became quiet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAlthough the two armies are not stationed in the city on weekdays, the army comes and goes into the city to buy things, which makes the market much more lively. In addition, Xu Ping also brought a large number of people from the Shuai Mansion this time, and the city of Qinzhou suddenly became much more deserted.

Director Zheng is very busy, and he has been very busy these days. After the two armies returned from the exercise, the third division shop was about to officially open in Qinzhou. At this time, the original Qinzhou Nazhi Courtyard was full of all kinds of goods, and the huge courtyard was busy setting up a bench. The pattern of shops here is different from that of inland prefectures and counties, not only the three divisions sell goods here, but also the courtyard is a preset bazaar in Qinzhou, where the surrounding military and civilians can sell goods, and the people of Han and Tibet can buy and sell freely.

The more concentrated the business, the better, don't worry about other shops stealing your customers, open one more shop, attract far more customers than are robbed. And the business is centralized, and it is also easy to manage.

The miscellaneous places of the Fan and Han are very different because of the many contradictions caused by mutual trade, so that they trade everywhere in the city, and the Qinzhou Prefecture will be too busy. And no matter how the government adjudicates, the Tibetan people always feel that the government is facing the Han people, and they suffer losses, and they will gather people to make trouble at every turn. The Han people felt that the government was afraid that the Tibetan people would make trouble, and they would suffer a loss for themselves, and they were also dissatisfied. There is no other way to deal with this kind of thing, but to show sincerity and treat it with justice, and the key is in a public word, not with mud. The more the official is in harmony, the deeper the suspicion on both sides, the lower the official credibility, and the way to self-destruction. You can't be clever in this kind of thing, and it is the most stupid thing to want to make the Han and Tibetan sides jealous and fight for the government to profit from it.

Concentrate the trade between the Han and the Tibetan here, and have the tooth people recognized by the government to pull the strings from it, and carry out price management, so as to put the trade on the bright side as much as possible, which is good for the Han people, the Tibetan Qiang and the government.

In several fixed places in the courtyard, there are also official scales and scales such as fair scales, fair buckets, and fair rulers to eliminate disputes. At this time, the weights and measures of the world were far from being unified, and the imperial court made a lot of efforts, and each region still had its own local standards of habit. These official weights and measures set up in the courtyard are also based on those set by the imperial court, and there are local customs in Qinzhou as a reference next to them. It is practical to incorporate local weights and measures into the unified system of the imperial court as a supplement, rather than brutally and forcibly abolishing them. Otherwise, it will cause confusion, not only about the price of the transaction, but also about the experience that has been passed down for generations. In Xu Ping's previous life, the city catty, city ruler and the like have always been common, but they have been rounded according to the legal units, which is the same reason.

Festive walked around, singing unnamed tunes, and occasionally pointing to the workers who were erecting. He was already a half-grown teenager, he was taller, he was more cheerful than before, and his life was always full of interesting things.

The three of them were splicing wooden planks on the shelves that had been erected, and when they saw Xiqing coming over, they said happily: "Isn't this the joy of the three shops by the Tianjin Bridge?" Back then, in Luoyang City, I often saw you every day! ”

Xiqing looked at the three of them, a little kind, but couldn't remember who they were, shook his head and said, "The three brothers are also from Luoyang?" When I was there, the shop was full of people, but I thought you were kind-looking, but I couldn't remember your name. ”

A rough man smiled: "We are just customers who come to the store to buy goods, of course you can't remember." I am Luo Ji, this one is Liang Guancheng, and that one is Wang Xuezhai, all of whom are people in the company under the three divisions in Luoyang City. Recently, the three divisions have sent people to the northwest, and we have also arrived here. Because the army went out to practice, they came here to help. ”

Xi Qing nodded happily: "In this way, I think of you a little." That brother surnamed Liang is a good drinker, and he often comes to our store to buy a whole jar of wine back, isn't it? ”

Liang Guancheng nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad!" The little brother sells wine with the most sincerity, and it doesn't seem to be a black-hearted shop, mixing water into the wine! ”

Festive smiled: "We are a shop under the three divisions, and we are not our own business, and we have always bought and sold fairly." By the way, when you moved to the northwest, shouldn't you go to Fengxiang Mansion? Why did you come to Qinzhou again? ”

Luo Ji said: "Because there is a shortage of people in the army, especially a lack of calligraphers who can write and calculate, we are recruited." The Qinzhou Marshal Mansion and the Third Division have discussed, and when we go to the army, we will count the seniority of working in the company, and if we have military merits, we will also be promoted and rewarded. After five years, no matter whether the war is over or not, we still go to the company, and these are all counted together. ”

Xi Qingqi said: "Joining the army to fight, but it will bleed to death." If you don't do the good work in the company, how can you do such a dangerous thing in the army? Swords and guns have no eyes, and fighting is not a trick! ”

Luo Ji sighed: "Although fighting a war is dangerous, it is also an advanced step, isn't it?" After five years in the army, we can be a small supervisor when we go back, and if we do a good job, we may be able to be promoted. Where is this opportunity in the company? Don't hide it from my brother, Liang Guancheng and I are from poor families, and we don't know anyone in the official face, so it is difficult to fight for a background if we don't come to the army. That Wang Xuezhai was a victim of the Jingdong Road disaster in Luoyang City, he was the son of Henan Mansion, he did not pass the provincial test, and when he arrived in the army, he became the deputy commander of a battalion, and he took care of it, and there would be no major incident. ”

Wang Xuezhai was a little shy and nodded to the celebration.

Hearing that it was a lifter, he couldn't help but be in awe and said hello to Wang Xuezhai.

In the northwest of the country, there are many people who have joined the army this year. After arriving at Fengxiang Mansion, there was a military camp arranged by the Marshal's Mansion there, and he first entered it for three months of intensive training, and those who performed well were directly assigned to the battalion as deputy commanders according to the platoon.

This deputy commander is connected with the ministry of Zhang Kang and Jingtai, and unlike the deputy commander who did not serve in the past, he really has authority. Using this line, the marshal's government realized its control over the army, and no longer relied on commanders at all levels. The commander of the army is specially responsible for the training, marching, combat, and other affairs directly related to the military in the army, and all other logistics, organization, and military morale are all handed over to the deputy post. When an army receives a military order, it is signed by the chief and deputy commanders as a guarantee, and when marching and fighting, if the actual conditions require that the military order be not followed, the decision must also be made by the two people, and both merit and responsibility are also borne by the two people.

After the training, those who do not meet the requirements will go to the army to serve as civilians, copying and writing, or to the Department of Military Justice and the Department of Exhortation, to do some writing work. There are also some who have a skill, and they are arranged to be assigned to places such as the Counsellor's Military Department and the Aircraft Department, where the official positions conferred are higher than those in other places.

Wang Xuezhai has been studying since he was a child, and he has been a refugee, and he has endured hardships, and after three months of intensive training, he was arranged to be the deputy commander of the battalion in the tall army. He has lived with Luo Ji and Liang Guancheng for several years, and they have a good relationship, so he took the two of them by the way.

Separating the functions and powers of the commanders from their daily affairs and allowing them to concentrate on leading troops to fight was one of the cores of Xu Ping's military reform. After doing so, the control of the army will no longer depend on the commander-in-chief, but on the system and organization. A large number of literate and literate people were added to the army to fill the vacancies in these systems and organizations.
