Chapter 943 Everyone’s Expectation
When the cock crows, Tuoba Sigong jumps up from the couch.
After wiping his face randomly, he hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door and giggled.
There are several jujube trees in the courtyard, and they were harvested yesterday. They are sweet, crisp and delicious, but it is a delicacy that is difficult to enjoy in Pingcheng.
At that time, he was thinking, wouldn’t it be more comfortable than the adults in various tribes?
Perhaps winter jujubes can be grown in Pingcheng, but there are really not many of them, and the Central Plains is full of them. The richness of the countryside is really amazing. No wonder the adults in Pingcheng have been advocating Nantu, but the nobles in Shengle are not too interested. Going south, they did not enjoy many good lives, so naturally they could not imagine the benefits of going south to the Central Plains.
"Liu Gou, you're up so early." Under the dim sky, a dark figure greeted him.
Tuoba Sigong heard that it was Xu Yi's voice and immediately said: "Didn't Chang Shi get up earlier?"
"Many courtyard walls collapsed, and there was nothing going on, so they repaired them Repair." Xu Yi said while digging the soil.
Tuoba Sigong walked over, squatted on the ground, and watched Xu Yi dig the soil.
"Has the military registration been decided?" Xu Yi asked.
"It's settled, there will be a total of three hundred people, all of whom will be assigned to Dubeifang, Longxiang Prefecture, Shi Township, Yanshi County, Henan County." Tuoba Sigong said.
"This group of people is difficult to lead." Xu Yi embedded the shovel deeply into the soil, stepped on it with his foot, and let the shovel blade penetrate deeper. He said in his mouth: "Henan Ranger Youth, Tu Qi It’s too confusing for a native of the country and a warrior of the country.”
“Take your time and you’ll get familiar with it,” Tuoba Sigong said.
The so-called Corpse Township Longxiang Mansion is located in Yanshi County to the east of Luoyang. Together with Qianjin Longxiang Mansion to the west, they are all under the jurisdiction of Youxiao Cavalry Guard.
Shao Xun recruited young men who were familiar with cavalry warfare in Henan. He also recruited soldiers in Guanzhong, Daiguo, Youzhou and other places, and got 3,000 people.
Among them, 1,200 people went to Yanshi County and were classified as Shixiang Longxiang Prefecture, 1,200 people went to Luoyang County and were classified as Qianjin Longxiang Prefecture, and another 600 people went to Luonan. Improve the formation of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards.
In this way, there are 9,600 knights on the left and right.
Wanqi has made it clear that from now on, they will abandon the "bad habits" of infantry, specialize in cavalry combat, and exist as a professional cavalry unit.
Xu Yi was originally a soldier of Zuo Fei Longwei, but now he was transferred to Youxiao Cavalry Guard Shixiang Longxiang Mansion Chief Shi.
Tuoba Sigong was the Sima of the Dubei Defense Department of Shixiang Prefecture.
Xu and Tuoba had a life-long friendship, but this time they were in the same Longxiang Mansion and both lived near the military city, so their relationship became even deeper.
"How is this place?" Xu Yi put down the shovel after working for a while, sat down on the wet withered grass, and asked.
"Pingcheng also has such fertile land, but most of it is occupied by nobles." Tuoba Sigong said: "I didn't expect that every household in Luoyang has such good land. It's really..."
Tuoba Sigong didn’t know what to say.
Anyway, the Xianbei soldiers in Dubei Defense were very shocked. The Youzhou soldiers were okay, a little surprised, but not too surprised. The young knights in Henan counties were very disdainful. The land in Luoyang was good, but it was not much better than their hometown. , is there any surprise?
For people who came from a bitter cold land, they were originally a little hesitant about going south to serve as soldiers, but now they are relieved. With these two hundred acres of fertile land, what is there to worry about?
"I lived in Yingqiao before I was fifteen years old. The land there was good, but it was not mine after all, so I went to Dongping." In the mist, Xu Yi's voice seemed a bit distant.
"You became a soldier at the age of fifteen?"
"What? Can't you go into battle at the age of fifteen?" Xu Yi said with a smile: "I will marry when I am fifteen. My father told me that she is the daughter of Mr. Zhang, the deputy general of Li Jiafang."
"My father is the governor of the Ministry of Qu. After the eighteenth rank official system, he was the seventh rank. According to the system, he can occupy eighteen hectares of land. In fact, he has never occupied it. So far, it is only six hectares and thirty acres. Feiqiwei can occupy five acres of land. In fact, my family only has more than eight hectares of land, but there are five brothers. In addition to one who will be a soldier in the government, there are four more people who can share the more than six hectares of land. It was not bad at first, but my brother didn’t want to, and I was too lazy to accept the bad attitude. After getting married, I went to Zuofeilongwei.” He was awarded the title of Feiqiwei (seventh rank) and appointed as the commander of the department. Haha, brother wants me to go home again."
Tuoba Sigong followed with a dry laugh.
It’s hard for him to say anything about other people’s private matters at home.
In this world, officials are the biggest and everything. Without officials, there is no way to occupy land.
If the eldest brother Xu Yi does not have an official status, after Xu's father dies, there will be no other option but to separate the family.
Perhaps, this is the main reason why the soldiers' morale is so high and their desire to fight is so strong, all for themselves and future generations.
The troops who know why they are fighting are really scary.
Especially those who go into battle with fewer hits and more strikes. Others would have been frightened, but what the soldiers planned in their hearts was to get five turns of merit in the battle, so they dared to fight to the death.
The Tuoba clan was not unjustly defeated!
"You should clearly explain the various benefits of government soldiers to the men in Dubeifang." Xu Yi said again.
"Okay." Tuoba Sigong nodded heavily.
"What are you going to say?" Xu Yi asked curiously when he saw that he agreed so simply.
"Just ask them if this land is good and if they want more land." Tuoba Sigong said: "Fight hard, establish meritorious service, and gain an official position, you can occupy more land. I will give birth to him in the future. There are ten or eight children, and each child has a share of land, and the family business has prospered."
Xu Yi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"I have to add one more thing," Xu Yi said.
Tuoba Sigong looked at him and asked: "Which sentence?" "This benefit was obtained by King Liang for us. We must not be ungrateful." Xu Yi said: "The king is here, we can wait for you Enjoy the benefits. If the king is not here, nothing can be said. So if something happens to the king, we will kill the rebels for him."
"This is the right thing to do." road.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
This is class camaraderie.
You must remember how everyone’s benefits come from. It was not easy for King Liang to break through the dark curtain that shrouded the world. At this time, everything had just begun, everything was not yet stable, and there was still the possibility of being counterattacked, so we must not take it lightly. The best way is for the King of Liang to ascend to the throne of emperor, hold up the king who represents their warriors, and fix all the benefits. If this happens for decades, it will never be reversed.
In this world, when it comes to personal interests, no matter how stupid a person is, they will become shrewd.
******
After a few days of defense in Dubei, Tuoba Sigong's excitement gradually subsided and he began to learn from Xu Yi and take care of his home.
Six jujube trees, four elm trees, and one locust tree were left by the previous owner whose name was unknown.
These trees are old, but they were not destroyed by the war, as if they were quietly waiting for their new owners, which made Tuoba Sigong very happy.
On the fourth day of October, the huge caravan returned from the north, and Guan Qiulu came to Xixiang to visit the former caravan guards.
“You want to marry a bride who knows how to sericulture.” While sitting in the courtyard, Guanqiu Lu chuckled and said, “Farmers produce silk and silk. The more we weave, the richer the family will be. ”
Tuoba Sigong nodded repeatedly.
"When will the family pick him up?" Guan Qiulu asked again.
“After the spring planting next year, Longxiang Mansion will send people to various places to pick up the family members.” Tuoba Sigong said.
"That's good." Guan Qiulu originally planned to pick up his family when he went north to do business. Once he heard about the arrangements of Longxiang Mansion, he gave up and said instead: "It's a pity that Tuoba The clan did not go south, otherwise it would be a good place to be. . If you are promising, it may not be impossible to be a distant member of the family. In that case, you don't necessarily need to hang out in the army to get an official position. "
" Can Tuoba clan judge family status?" Tuoba Sigong was a little surprised.
He knew how the barbarian chiefs rated their family status, but could foreign lords do the same?
"When I was passing through Luoyang, I was chatting with an old friend and learned that all the counties in Sizhou were reorganizing the genealogy of the gentry. Among them, the "Lu" surnames included Shi, Pu and other surnames. Shi was not Shi Le, but Shi Wu, the king of Jiuquan of the Puppet Han Dynasty, who had led his people Jin was sent to the west of the town, and the king ordered thousands of his clan members to be moved there. The family traveled eastward to Xingyang, and their family was heading to Fangtou, Jijun. >
There was a sound of footsteps outside.
The two looked up and saw that it was Xu Yi, so they stood up to greet him.
Xu Yi returned the gift, then took out a piece of hard yellow paper and ink pad, and said to Tuoba Sigong: "Here, make a fingerprint."
Tuoba Sigong didn't have any traces of it. Hesitantly, he smeared his finger in the ink pad, and then pressed the bright red fingerprint.
Guan Qiulu was a little surprised when he saw it.
You didn’t even ask, just pressed your fingerprints? What if someone wants you to be listed as a rebel?
Xu Yi noticed Guan Qiulu’s expression, smiled, and handed it to him to see.
Guanqiu Lu was not polite. He took it and looked at it with a complicated expression.
It turns out that this is a form of persuasion to enter. All high-ranking officials in Longxiang Mansion in Corpse Township are listed on it, with only one fingerprint missing.
Guanqiu Lu handed the essay back and asked: "Are all the dozens of military offices in the world like this?"
"Exactly." Xu Yi said: "The military men in the world all hope that King Liang will ascend the throne. "To calm people's hearts."
"What a way to calm people's hearts." Guanqiu Lu sighed.
How does it feel when others look forward to you and beg you to be the emperor?
I think that some people got a throne by cheating, stealing, and robbing, but they still couldn't convince the public, so they rewarded the scholars all over the world and made the country a mess - to be honest, this kind of change of dynasties Guo Zuo doesn't look very young.
In the world of King Liang, there is no opportunism, it is all done with one sword and one spear, so he has the support of everyone.
The three major groups of scholars, warriors, and barbarians, and the three slogans of "tolerance for the sake of the country", "the peace of both barbarians and Xia", and "advancing with the times", finally brought King Liang to this point.
If you don’t understand what “popular expectations” means, this is it.
"How magnificent!" Guanqiu Lu praised from the bottom of his heart: "Such a great achievement happened before my eyes."
Xu Yi and Tuoba Sigong laughed. .
"Now the Emperor of Jin must abdicate." Xu Yi said: "Such incompetent people have made the world like this, and they should get out long ago."
"The world is in chaos. Of course, we are at fault. But it's not all his fault." Guan Qiulu couldn't help but say.
"No matter who he is, it's wrong." Xu Yi said nonchalantly: "I still hope that some fool will speak for Emperor Jin."
Guan Qiulu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It’s useless, no matter how hard you struggle, it’s useless.
Not only the Jin emperor, but also the scholars.
