Chapter 468: Accepting donations
But it was said that half a month had passed since Dai Zong and Shi Qian came back. During this period, Zhao Zhen discussed with Xiao Rang and others and decided on the garrison personnel in each county of Yizhou.
Liu Guang, the general judge, and Kong Hou, the recommended official, were in charge of Yizhou affairs. The two were in charge of the east and west parts of Yizhou. The Golden Spear Battalion is stationed in Fucheng, with Xu Ning as its commander and deputy general Hao Siwen. There are 500 horse troops and 3,000 infantry troops.
Leyao, the magistrate of Feixian County, commanded Fan Chenglong and had 1,000 infantry. Qiu Hao, the magistrate of Chengxian County, commanded Zhang Xianzhou, deputy general Li Fengshan, and had 2,500 troops.
Shi Gugong, the magistrate of Xintai County, commanded Li Ying, deputy general Shi En, and stationed 3,000 troops. They were also in charge of Xinwen Village, controlled Jinzhuang, and led 500 troops.
The magistrate of Mengyin County is temporarily held by Zhao Xin, assisted by Gaoliang and Huadiao, commanding 2,500 troops. Zhaojia Village was changed into a military village, and Xu Qing was appointed as the commander of the village, commanding 500 troops.
Pingyi commanders Xie Zhen and Jie Bao brothers led the mountain camp with 2,500 men to garrison. The county magistrate was concurrently appointed by Kong Hou, who handled matters in Pingyi, Mengyin and Xintai.
The commander of Yishui County, Zhen Xianglin, commanded 1,000 troops. After all, there was a lot of damage here. Zhao Zhen transferred Ding Chou, the chief administrator of Yuncheng, to serve as county magistrate and temporarily take charge of county affairs.
As for Yiyuan, there are not many people. Wu Yong is in charge of the left and right Jianrui Camp, with Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Guang Hui and Deng Yuanjue as generals, and 5,000 troops are stationed to guard against Qingzhou thieves.
During this period, in addition to discussing the defense of Yizhou, Zhao Zhen also met with the squires who submitted their gifts in order.
Since Zhangzhuang Township presented the auspicious white pheasant, Zhao Zhen had secretly spread the news. Zhang Chen, who was not outstanding in poetry, writing and policy, was appointed as the head of Luji Township.
With more people knowing, it was natural for people to ask around about Zhao Zhen’s preferences. Those who had a family member of a different species joined Liangshan in order to find a position, so they naturally followed the path of Zhang Chen's family in Zhangzhuang Township and got a job.
Over the years, the wealthy gentry in various counties have naturally accumulated a lot of wealth. Those who offer grain, grass, cloth, gold, silver and jewels, according to Zhao Zhen's instructions, do not need to come to the prefectural city for an audience.
Thousands of stones of food and grass can make one person in the family a tribute student, who can go to the state school to study. After studying for three years without any fault, he will be qualified to serve as an official, or to take the imperial examination, and if he succeeds, he will become an official.
This method was proposed by Zhao Zhen himself. As soon as he proposed it, he was opposed by Xiao Rang, Pei Xuan and other civil servants. Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, don't be anxious, it's not that we are coveting these rice grains. Firstly, the counties and towns have doubts about us, and this method is just to reassure them. Secondly, it also makes the squires recognize us. After all, the front We also killed many squires who bullied men and women, were unkind for the sake of wealth, and village elders who secretly obstructed the clearing of land and population. "
"As for the problems you and others are worried about, I also have a way to deal with it. The first point is the school regulations. The state school has monthly exams and annual exams. Those who fail the monthly exam three times in a row will not be able to graduate. This will make these students who pay tribute You can't be an official or a clerk easily. Furthermore, officials everywhere have supervisors. If they commit crimes and violate laws, they will be dismissed from their posts. In serious cases, there will be no preferential treatment."
"The benefit of this donation is that these squires will have a reputation and don't have to wear rich clothes. Wouldn’t it be better to get a share of the income?”
This is how we decided on the strategy of raising Manasu.
In practice, for this Gongsheng status, many wealthy families will donate.
Just as Zhao Zhen expected, especially the elderly, how can they stand the constraints of the state school. The title of "Gongsheng" was only used to compare with each other and show off one's status. There were only a few middle sons and concubines who chose to study in the state.
The business of the silk and satin shops has improved a lot. Along with the bone carvings of peonies and boxwood sculptures produced in the workshop, a lot of them were sold.
At present, there is only one level of donation, and the status of Gongsheng is the highest level. There must be no direct appointment of officials through donation.
What Zhao Zhen saw during this period were not the wealthy gentry businessmen who donated thousands of stones of rice and wheat.
It was twenty or thirty people who took out their treasures and dedicated them. According to the quality of the treasure, Zhao Zhen listened to the opinions of the people who donated it, and placed them in positions one by one, such as the township head or the third elder, but they were not in their own hometown. As for the stingy man who is in charge of hearing lawsuits and collecting taxes, who is responsible for public security, and who prohibits thieves from wandering around, they are not mentioned.
Among these treasures, there are two spiritual plants, one peach plant and one red chestnut plant.
World Log
Peach (Peach comes from the country of Persia. The tree is five to six feet long and four to five feet in circumference. The leaves are like peach and broad. It blooms in March and is white. The flowers fall and bear fruit. It looks like a peach but has an off-kilter shape. Its flesh is bitter and the kernel is sweet. It is prized by all the countries in the Western Regions.

Danli (Cangzhou, there are green jujube and red chestnuts, all of which are as big as pears. The chestnuts are green and red, as bright as jujubes, about two inches long, and have skin when chewed. They are not worldly chestnuts. , the meat is crispy and sweet, and will be eaten after a long time.)
Effect 1: Eat a hundred pills and chestnuts, and those with less than 30 strength will have strength +1.
There are also blue wheat and purple rice, both of which are third-level seeds. There are one hundred and ten grains each. But it was passed down from a poor maritime merchant in Yizhou Prefecture. Now Teng Yang, who donated the seeds, was appointed by Zhao Zhen as the steward of the caravan to assist [Grimace] Duxing.
Bimai (wheat with grains larger than that of China, green on the outside and inside, with a fragrance like japonica rice. Eating it makes the body light, and over time it can resist the wind.)
Effect 1: Eating bimai Month, if the agility is less than 30, the agility +1.
Purple rice (Purple rice is a kind of great victory. One liter of cooking is equivalent to one bucket of rice. Eating it makes one's hair black and the color is not old.)
Effect 1: Those who eat purple rice for one month and have a physical constitution of less than 30 will have a physical constitution +1.
Again, Zhang Yifeng from Zhongdu County presented a piece of ancestral donkey paper and changed his position as township head.
Paper Donkey (Zhang Guo, who lives in Tiaoshan in Hengzhou, often travels between Fen and Jin). He often rides on a white donkey, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day. When resting, he overlaps the donkeys. They are as thick as paper and placed on top of each other. Put it in the scarf box; if you ride it, pour it with water and it will turn into a donkey)
Effectiveness 1: You can ride it for one hour every day and travel 300 miles.
There was a man in Fan County who donated a big sheep, as big as a donkey, which was already a first-level spiritual seed. According to what he said, this sheep was an ordinary goat. It came back from grazing in Gaoping Mountain one day and grew to such a big size the next day. I also went to the mountains to look for it and grazed it many times, but no other one has grown so big.
Green goat (first level, as big as a donkey, grows by eating a leaf of Gaopingshan ginseng fairy.)
After Zhao Zhen saw it, he heard the news clearly about all the places where shepherds tend sheep, and remembered it in his heart.
This man is just an ordinary farmer. He has three acres of mountain land at home and more than twenty green goats, but he can barely make a living. After Zhao Zhen inquired, he sent him to Liangshan Ranch to be a deputy steward and herd cattle and sheep.
In addition to these spiritual seeds and plants that are spread throughout every county, there are also several treasures that are privately collected by each family.
Zhongmu Iron Cone (Tier 3, in the pool under the king's platform in Wei Rencheng, Zhongmu County, there is an iron cone from the Han Dynasty, six feet long, three feet into the ground, with its head pointing southwest.)
This iron cone is actually an iron hammer, weighing forty kilograms and made of Shen Tie Xuan Jing. Characteristics: Armor shattering, bludgeoning.
Grain Bi, (third level, white jade, five or six inches in diameter. The millet grains on it are self-generated, no different from the shape of carvings. The king who gets it will have a rich harvest.)
Characteristics 1: Increase production, and the place where you are located will have abundant grains.
Red Rui Pillow (second level, like jade but chestnut, its text is reddish, but its luster is bright.)
Effect 1: Sleep well. A pillow to fall asleep on, nourishing one's essence and storing one's sharpness.
Effect two: wealth.
There are also some, mostly iron materials such as meteorite and cold iron, and low-level plants that grow in the mountains and fields. They are also donated because of their mutations and some supernatural powers. For those who contributed more, Zhao Zhen also asked them to perform tasks such as correcting themselves in the village. In line with one principle, we must make the people who contribute feel value for money.
Zhao Zhen bought these items at a high price. What pleased Zhao Zhen the most was the four newly found pieces of jade and nine [World Spirits] in his hands. Zhao Zhen was smiling all throughout the first month.
