Chapter 315: Autumn Conquers the Army

Gong Xichi's head was a little dizzy, in Zhongduyi, the master and the local patriarchs discussed things, or convened the disciples to discuss matters, all to talk about benevolence and righteousness. But in Xiaqiu, although he still talks about righteousness externally, when he encounters a small internal meeting, he is completely talking about interests, is this really good?

But the Master once said, "Let it be profitable, and you will be resentful!" ”

However, he is a person who likes extravagance and profit, likes gorgeous light fur, and high carts and fat horses, so Confucius said that he "does not know his benevolence". What's more, his cousin Ran Qiu also warned him that when the concept of the doctor is contrary to what the master teaches, the doctor prevails, so Gong Xichi can still adapt to the atmosphere here.

Monarchs, ministers, this is not a question of who is right and who is wrong, this is a matter of basic loyalty as a minister.

Is Zhao Wuxian a good lord? In Gongxichi's opinion, it is natural that he is diligent in government and loves the people, and lives a simple life, and he can't find a few such doctors in Lu with firewood.

In this case, the words of the lord naturally have to be listened to, "My way is not good, I float on the sea", it is Confucius, not his more compromising disciples.

So Gong Xihua was taught.

Moreover, he also comforted himself in his heart: The master also said that because of the interests of the people, it is for the benefit of the people, although the doctor's words are beneficial, but it is for the better governance of the people, this is a great festival, a great righteousness! ”

Zhao Wuxian lost the domineering arrogance of Fang Cai, and he said to this peer kindly: "As for tracing the reasons for these administrative laws, citing poems and books to prove that they are in line with the rule of antiquity, it is up to Zihua's pen to sharpen. ”

In addition to being responsible for sacrificing and receiving guests, and handling copywriting, one of the most important roles of Gong Xichi in Zhao Wuxian's forces was to beautify these centralized measures and describe them as the rule of the Three Kings and the Duke of Zhou......

This is also the greatest use of "literary etiquette" among Confucian children in the eyes of Zhao Wuxian.

That is to boast about the rulers, to whitewash the aura of etiquette for the cold and hard administrative decrees!

……

Gongxi Chi racked his brains, and really quoted scriptures and classics, and found a basis for Zhao Wuxian's "Shiwu" system.

"Zhou Li" says that it will be used by the soldiers of all people. The township was joined by five people. Five soldiers are two, four two are pawns, five pawns are brigades, and five brigades are divisions. Five divisions are armies. There are also five tracks for the Qi State Pipe, and ten tracks for the li. ”

"Today's Dafu Zhen and Xiaqiu's politics, although they are called Ting, Li, Shi, and Wu, seem to be different from the Zhou and Qi systems, but in fact they are a combination of Zhou Li and Guanzi's politics. It is no different from the good governance of Zhou and Qi, how can it be said that it is not polite? ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled at Gong Xichi's whitewashed words, there was basically no hard wound in it, whether Confucius believed it or not, anyway, many scholars and patriarchs in Zhen and Liqiu were fooled into believing it.

The Tinglishwoo system only put a yoke on the small clan forces in the various gathering places and limited their expansion, and the time was not yet ripe for the gradual tightening of the ropes and the equilibrium between the "central" and local forces.

And it's pressed too tightly. It is also not conducive to the development of local areas.

In the face of the upcoming turn of October, Zhao Wuxian still has to share the benefits with the local indigenous forces and seek their support and cooperation......

It is precisely on the basis of this consideration that the last item of Zhao Wuxian's administration: "from public land to tax acres", that is, to abolish those public fields that have already existed in name only, re-measure the land, and apportion the taxes, which cannot be implemented for the time being.

Changing the local system and changing the name of the official position is in the eyes of the short-sighted clan chiefs. It's just a different name. But if you put your hand on the acres of land on which they depend, you are digging up their roots, which will inevitably trigger a violent backlash. From ancient times to the present, until 2,000 years later. Countless contradictions arise from the land, so don't be careful!

Looking at the busy figures of the farmers in the fields at the end of autumn, stepping on the plows, driving the ploughing cattle, or the two of them ploughing, Zhao Wuxian got off the horse and walked to the edge of the field and squatted. Pick up a handful of dark dirt and feel the viscosity in it.

Yanzhou between the river and the river has been a good place since ancient times, and the current flooding of the big river is not serious, but in the original history, the seven heroes of the Warring States period will be "beggar-thy-neighbor" in the next few hundred years. In order to reduce the flooding of the country, build embankments with each other to protect against water, and even break rivers to irrigate neighboring countries, this area may become a hard-hit area, and the economy and population will be greatly reduced.

This is also an intrinsic need of "leveling the world", a fragmented Central Plains that cannot tame the rebellious river. The last time Yi and Xia were unified under one royal power for the first time, it was Xia Yu who ruled the river, and more than a thousand years later, China had this urgent need again.

He clapped his hands, let the soil be kneaded into dust and go away with the wind, and said to Ji Qiao, who was patrolling the town: "The land here is a plain formed by the impact of the big river, Pushui, and Jishui, and Yugong calls the soil of Yanzhou a black tomb, that is, a black fertile field, which is by no means worse than Xinjiang. I plan to let the displaced people grow winter wheat using the field substitution method after the manure soil has been fertile and loosened the land, and this will become a test field, so that we can see if we can get a good harvest in the northern part of the country after crossing thousands of miles. ”

If the Daitian method is effective, it will be fully promoted in Zhen and Liqiu next spring, and the cycle of one corn and one wheat and hybrid Rongshu will begin.

Because of the cautious attitude towards the land, at the end of this autumn, the Daitian method was only implemented on the acres of land belonging to the Yi Temple after the Wu clan moved away, and the main working population was the displaced people of the Lu State.

Although Ji Qiao had just taken office a few days ago, he had already memorized the situation of the household registration and treasury in Xiaqiu, and he replied: "Nearly 1,000 people have poured in from Gaoyu and Yuncheng before and after, and in addition to the old, weak, sick, disabled and young, there are still hundreds of people who can cultivate 5,000 acres of land, which is just enough to plant the public land belonging to the Yi Temple, and the doctor has agreed that they can get half of the harvest to make a living, so the Lu people work very hard." ”

"Good, I will also issue another decree, among these Lu people, select young and strong people to enlist in the army, those who are proficient in the roads and terrain of Yuncheng are preferred, and their families can get the right to rent fifty acres of land for one year, and ten taxes and one can be!"

With Feng Rin's continuous news from Lucheng Qufu, Yang Hu's side is basically ready, and he only needs a moment to make a move on Sanhuan, so Zhao Wuxian's side must also hurry.

If we can win Yuncheng, which is crisscrossed by rivers, we may be able to eat rice next year, and in terms of the ability to feed the population, this crop is still more powerful......

……

After the autumn harvest is completed and some of the public fields are planted with winter wheat, it is already early September, the autumn equinox has passed, and the whole north has begun to enter the agricultural slack period. The new local bureaucracy is gradually on the right track, but many people in the military are still in power.

After gathering his subordinates, Zhao Wuxian, who had re-put on his armor, said to them, "I intend to divide the army of Liangyi into two parts. They belong to different systems, one is a military soldier, and the other is a local soldier. ”

The number of military soldiers is mainly recruited professional soldiers, with a number of 700. Responsible for the foreign war of attacking the city and conquering the land, led by Zhao Wuxian himself, trained once a day, almost everyone wore armor, and the troops were complete. There were spearmen, sword and shield men, light knights, spearmen, and crossbowmen.

The main task of the local soldiers is to garrison the city, inspect the roads, and arrest a small group of robbers.

The local Shiwu system had already been established, so Zhao Wuxian couldn't wait to start the first large-scale conscription of soldiers.

"Last year, there was a war, people were displaced, and thieves swarmed. Hide the nozawa, and stay until winter or plunder the mounds and the land. Since I am a doctor, I have the duty to protect one party. Now in September, it is the time for the five soldiers to practice archery in preparation for the winter invaders. ”

Because of the presence of banditry in Razawa and Onozawa, the surrounding towns are like facing the abyss, and after the autumn harvest, it is also the most rampant season when the bandits begin to plunder in order to survive the winter. So Zhao Wuxian is just an agitation, the patriarch of the two yi. And the various Rili are responding to help him recruit soldiers.

In the local soldiers, Zhao Wuxian divided them into Yi soldiers and pavilion soldiers, and the Yi soldiers recruited young and strong people in the city. One person out of every two households, Zhenyi levied 500, and Liqiu levied 600, which was directly governed by Yi Sima. Most of the pavilion guards are ordinary people, one person out of every two households, and there are 600 people in each pavilion in Zhendi. There are 700 people in each pavilion in Xiaqiu, accounting for about one-fifteenth of the total population.

Because of the promotion of the Shiwu system, the efficiency of this conscription was much higher than in previous years, and it only took a few days, and hundreds of people began to practice on the flat ground outside Zhen and Liqiuyi, and the pavilion chiefs also reported that they had completed the conscription task.

Li is a representative of the indigenous forces, and he is specially "preferential" not to enlist in the army, but the pavilion chief is mostly a cronie directly assigned by Zhao Wuxian, who is responsible for managing and training the pavilion soldiers, so that he indirectly controls the local armed forces.

Under the system of "integration of soldiers and peasants," the chiefs at all levels, who managed the affairs of the village community and the state in peacetime, were the grassroots military officials in the army during the wartime.

These conscripts were scattered in the villages and communities as farmers in peacetime, and were temporarily conscripted as soldiers in wartime. When they were scattered for the people, the weapons were collected and kept by the state, and the weapons in the arsenal were issued when they were conscripted, but most of the training was mainly bamboo spears and sticks, and those who could shoot arrows brought their own bows and arrows.

In addition, nearly 1,000 Lu people who fled from Gaoyu and Yuncheng were also recruited, and 100 young and strong people were sent as soldiers. In line with the idea of "governing the Lu soldiers with the Lu people", this homeless soldier was handed over by Zhao Wuxian to Ran Qiu, who had already turned the training method of the martial arts into his own use.

This is also a test of his military ability to Ran Qiu: "Ziyou, within twenty years, train these homeless people into a group of soldiers who can travel fifty miles a day without falling behind, and face thieves without breaking up, okay?" ”

……

At the same time that Ran Qiu accepted the first important task in his life and began to train those young and strong homeless people, more than 200 Lu craftsmen that Zhao Wuxian had brought from Qufu were also placed in the original Wushi workshop in Guo District, outside the city of Xiaqiu. Coupled with the more than 100 craftsmen gathered from Zhenyi and Xiaqiu, it is enough to create a diversified handicraft base.

On this day, just after the morning meal, an uninvited guest was ushered in in the tiled house where the Gongyi Ke family lived, but it was the lord Zhao Wuxian, whom he had just entrusted his allegiance to.

The bearded face, the thick hands and feet of the public lost Ke was surprised and surprised, and hurriedly took his family to bow down.

"The subordinate has seen the doctor, and the doctor has come to the house, it is really ......" Gong Yike didn't know where to put his two hands, and his eyes looked at the room full of wood, sawdust, tools, and machine parts, and he was embarrassed.

Zhao Wuxian waved his hand at him and said, "No need to be polite, the family of the male loser is still used to living in Xiaqiu?" ”

He was talking to Gong Yike, but his eyes were looking at Xiao Gong Yiban, who was hiding behind his father, holding the copper and half-cut wood in his hand, and turned his head to look at Zhao Wuxian in a daze.

Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the thing in his hand and asked, "What is this?" (To be continued.) )
