Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 315: Autumn to rule the army

Gong Xichi's head was a little dizzy. In Zhongdu, the Master discussed matters with the local patriarchs, or summoned the disciples to discuss matters, all to talk about benevolence and righteousness. (Baidu search for the fastest and most stable update of the Liwen Literature Network) In Linqiu, although we still talk about righteousness externally, when we meet a small internal meeting, we are completely talking about interests. Is this really good?

But the Master said: "Put what you are doing, and you will be more resentful!"

However, his nature is a person who likes extravagance and profit, likes gorgeous light fur, and tall chariots and fat horses, so Confucius said that he "doesn't know his kindness". What's more, his cousin Ran Qiu also warned him that when the concept of a doctor's governance contradicts what the Master taught, the doctor shall prevail, so Gong Xichi can still adapt to the atmosphere here.

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

Is Zhao Wuxi a good lord? From Gong Xichi's point of view, yes, he is diligent in government, loves the people, and lives a simple life. There are not many such doctors who light firewood in the state of Lu.

That being the case, then the lord's words must be listened to, "My way is not good, I float on the sea", that is Confucius, not his more compromising disciples.

So Gong Xihua Nuoran was taught.

Moreover, he still comforted himself in his heart and said: The Master also said that the people benefited from the interests of the people. Although the doctor said that it was beneficial, it was for the sake of better governance of the people. This is a great festival and righteousness! "

Zhao Wuxi lost his arrogance and arrogance, he said kindly to his peers: "As for tracing the reasons for these administrative laws, citing poems and books to prove that they are in line with the ancient rules, it depends on Zihua's pen."

In addition to being responsible for offering sacrifices, receiving guests, and handling copywriting, Gong Xichi's most important role in Zhao Wuci's forces is to beautify these measures of centralization and describe them as the rule of the three kings and the Duke of Zhou...

This is also the greatest usefulness of Zhao Wucai's "literary etiquette" among the Confucian disciples.

That is bragging for the ruler. Add a ceremonial halo to the cold and hard executive decree!

...

Gong Xichi racked his brains, and really quoted the scriptures and found the basis for Zhao Wuxi's "Shwu" system.

"The Rites of Zhou said. It is used by the soldiers of the people. Five people in the township are in the army, and the five soldiers are two. Guanzi also has five houses as tracks and ten tracks as li.”

"The government of today's doctors Zhen and Linqiu, although called Ting, Li, Shi, and Wu, seems to be different from the Zhou and Qi systems, but in fact it is a combination of Zhou Li and Guanzi's government. It is no different from Zhou and Qi's good government. Is it inappropriate?"

Zhao Wuxi smiled at Gong Xichi's whitewashed remarks, and there was basically nothing wrong with it. Regardless of whether Confucius believed it or not, many scholars and patriarchs in Zhen and Linqiu were fooled into believing them anyway.

The Tinglishwu system only puts shackles on the small clan forces in each gathering place to limit their expansion. As for the time to gradually tighten the ropes and allow the "central" and local forces to reach a level of balance, it is not yet ripe.

And it's too tight. It is also not conducive to local development and development.

Facing the upcoming turn of October, Zhao Wuxi still has to share interests with the local indigenous forces and seek their support and cooperation...

It is based on this consideration. The last item in Zhao Wuchen's administration: "From public land to tax mu", that is, to abolish the public land that has existed in name only, to re-measure the land, and to share the tax, which is temporarily impossible.

Changing the local system and making official titles easier, in the eyes of the short-sighted clan chiefs, it's just a name change. But if you reach out to the fields where they live, you are digging their roots. There is bound to be a violent backlash. From ancient times to the present, until two thousand years later. Countless contradictions are generated from the land, so don't be careful!

Watching the peasants in the fields at the end of autumn stepping on lei. Chasing the cattle, or the busy figure of the two of them ploughing together, Zhao Wuxi dismounted, walked to the field and squatted down, picking up a handful of dark soil, feeling the viscosity in it.

Yanzhou, which is between the rivers, has been a good place since ancient times. At present, the flooding of the river is not serious, but in the original history, the seven heroes of the Warring States Period will "beggar-thy-neighbor" in the next few hundred years. In order to reduce the flooding in our own country, we build embankments to protect each other, and even cut rivers to irrigate neighboring countries. I am afraid this area will become a hardest hit area, and the economy and population will be greatly reduced.

This is also an inherent need of "pacifying the world", a fragmented Central Plains cannot tame the unruly river. The last time Yi and Xia were unified under the same kingship, it was Xia Yu who ruled the river. More than a thousand years later, Huaxia had this urgent need again.

He clapped his hands and let the soil turn into dust and go away with the wind, and said to Ji Qiao, who was traveling with him: "The land here is a plain formed by the impact of Dahe, Pushui and Jishui. Yu Gong called the soil of Yanzhou as Black graves, that is, black fertile fields, are by no means worse than Xinjiang. I plan to let the refugees grow winter wheat with the substitute method after the manure fields are fertilized and loosened. This place will become an experimental field. Can the land of Pubei be harvested in this way?"

If the Daitian method is effective, it will be fully promoted in Zhen and Linqiu next spring, starting a cycle of one grain and one wheat, hybrid Rongshu.

Because of their cautious attitude towards land, this late autumn, the Daitian Law was only practiced on the fields belonging to Yisi after the Wu clan moved away, and the main working population was the refugees from the state of Lu.

Although Ji Qiao had just taken office a few days ago, he was already remorseful about Linqiu's household registration and the state of the government treasury. He replied: "Nearly a thousand people poured in from Gaoyu and Yuncheng before and after. There are hundreds of people who can cultivate 5,000 mu of land, just enough to fill the public land belonging to the Yi Temple, and the doctor has agreed that they can get half of the harvest to survive, so the Lu people work very hard."

"Good, I will also issue another decree. Among these Lu people, young and strong people will be selected to join the army, and those who are skilled in the roads and terrain of Yuncheng will be given priority. Their families can get the right to rent fifty acres of land for one year. That's it!"

According to Feng Rin's continuous news from Qufu in Lucheng, Yanghu's side is basically ready, and it only takes a moment, and they can't wait to attack Sanhuan, so Zhao Wuxi must also hurry up.

If we can win the city of Yuncheng, where the rivers are crisscrossed, maybe we will be able to eat rice next year. In terms of the ability to feed the population, this kind of crop is more powerful...

...

After the autumn harvest was completed and winter wheat was planted in some public fields, it was already the first ten days of September. The autumn equinox has passed, and the whole north has entered the slack farming period. The new local bureaucracy has gradually been on the right track, but many people in the army are still undecided.

After summoning the subordinates. Zhao Wuxi, who had put on his armor again, said to them: "I plan to divide the army of the two cities into two parts, which belong to different systems. One is the military soldiers, and the other is the local soldiers."

The military pawns are mainly recruited professional soldiers, with a number of 700, responsible for the foreign wars of sieging the city and the land. They are led by Zhao Wuxi himself. They are trained once a day. Almost everyone wears armor and has a complete range of arms. There are spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, light knights, spear throwers, and crossbowmen.

The local soldiers are mainly recruited Chinese and savages. The main task is to defend the city, patrol the roads, and capture small groups of pirates. The city Sima is responsible for training once every ten days, and the equipment is relatively general.

The local Shiwu system has been established, so Zhao Wuxi couldn't wait to start the first large-scale recruitment of soldiers to "govern the army with scorpion".

"Last year, the war was chaotic, people were displaced, and thieves swarmed. I hid in wild lakes, and in winter, I might plunder Linqiu and Zhendi. Since I am a doctor, I have the duty to protect one side. Now September. Archery, in case of winter robbers."

Because of the existence of robbers running across Leize and Onoze, the surrounding towns are like an abyss. After the autumn harvest, it is also the season when the robbers start to loot around for the winter. Therefore, Zhao Wuxi was only agitating, and the patriarchs of the two cities, as well as every lizheng, responded and helped him recruit soldiers.

local soldiers. Zhao Wuxi divided it into Yi soldiers and Ting soldiers, and Yi soldiers recruited young men in the city. One person for every two households, Zhen Yi levied 500. Linqiu levied 600, and was directly under the jurisdiction of Sima. Most of the patriarchs in the pavilions were commoners from various li, with one person for every two households. There were as many as 600 in each pavilion in Zhendi and 700 in each pavilion in Linqiu, accounting for about one-fifteenth of the total population.

Because of the promotion of the Shiwu system, the efficiency of this recruitment is much higher than in previous years. In just a few days, hundreds of people on the flat ground outside Zhen and Linqiu began to practice the martial arts style. They also reported that the recruitment mission was completed.

Li was the representative of the indigenous forces and was given special "preferential treatment" and did not need to join the army, but most of the pavilion chiefs were close associates directly assigned by Zhao Wuxi, responsible for the management and training of pavilion soldiers, thus indirectly controlling the local armed forces for him.

Under the "unification of soldiers and farmers" system, the corps chiefs at all levels who manage village and state affairs in peacetime are the grass-roots military officers in the army during wartime. For the time being, Zhao Wuxi has not been able to find a better collective cohesion than his township neighbors. sexual things.

These conscripts are usually scattered in the villages to work as farmers, and they are temporarily conscripted as soldiers during wartime. When they were scattered among the people, the weapons were put under the unified custody of the state, and the weapons in the arsenal were given to the army when they were recruited.

In addition, nearly a thousand people from Lu who fled from Gaoyu and Yuncheng were also recruited, and a hundred young men died. In line with the idea of ​​"ruling Lu soldiers with people from Lu", this migrant soldier was handed over by Zhao Wuxi to Ran Qiu, who had already used the training methods of military soldiers for his own use.

This is also his test of Ran Qiu's military ability: "Ziyou, within two ten days, train these refugees into a group of soldiers who can travel fifty miles a day without falling behind, and face thieves and bandits without breaking up. Is it okay?"

...

At the same time that Ran Qiu accepted the important task for the first time in his life and began to train those young and strong refugees, more than 200 craftsmen from the State of Lu from Qufu were also placed in the original Wu's workshop in the Guo District outside Linqiu City. . With more than a hundred craftsmen gathered from Zhenyi and Linqiu, it is enough to create a diversified handicraft base.

On this day, just after the morning meal, an uninvited guest was welcomed into the tiled house where Gong Suke's family lived, but it was Zhao Wuxi, the lord he had just pledged allegiance to.

Gong Shuke, with a beard on his face and thick hands and feet, was shocked and surprised, and quickly took his family to bow down.

"The minister has seen the doctor, and the doctor came to the house, it's really..." Gong Shuke didn't know where to put his hands~www.wuxiahere.com~ His eyes were filled with lumber, sawdust, tools, The house with the parts included is embarrassing.

Zhao Wuxi waved his hand at him and said, "Don't be too polite, Gongshuzi's family is still used to living in Linqiu?"

He was talking to Gong Shuke, but his eyes looked at Xiao Gongshu Ban. He was hiding behind his father, holding a copper chip and half-cut wood in his hand, and turned his head to look at Zhao Wuxi, stunned.

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