Chapter 84 An accident happened soon
It was calm for several days.
More and more soldiers were recruited, and soon the number Shao Xun expected was reached.
He never told lies to Mi Huang before.
The newly attached person still suffered a defeat. No matter how brilliant and capable he was in the past, he needs to be rectified now.
There are several types of rectification. Generally speaking, a combination of kindness and power is the most effective. But now that there is no such time, Shao Xun can only choose the way he used to deal with Chen Yougen.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" He counted arrows continuously without much aim, he raised his hand and shot, hitting the target every time.
With this performance, even the archers from Jiying were convinced. You know, this is armored rifle shooting, which is completely different from ordinary unarmored and light armored shooting.
Then the galloping horse shoots.
Today's condition was not good, but I still hit the target five times.
This hit rate is quite high. Instead of shooting a bullseye on the battlefield, it is easier to shoot people or horses. With this skill, it is really difficult to miss.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, He Basheng shot at flying birds on horseback, but he only hit fifty-six out of ten.
Many people who are not up to the level cannot shoot accurately while marching. They can only try their luck, or simply stand on horseback and shoot arrows.
Mounting and shooting is far from simple. Even the Xiongnu and Xianbei could not find many sharpshooters on horseback.
"Practice hard once you are convinced." Shao Xun wisely did not show off other skills, because those skills require sparring, crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the grass, and might overturn. Moreover, archery is the most important of all skills. Showing your skills in this area is enough to convince everyone.
“No.” The soldiers responded loudly.
Shao Xun observed carefully.
The people who had followed him early opened their mouths wide and shouted loudly.
Among these people, there are not many who have trained with him in Pan Yuan. There are about a hundred or ten of them, and the battle loss rate has reached half.
The people who had been fighting with him for several months in Piyong were no less willing to give in. They blushed and promised loudly.
There are relatively many people in this group, probably in their early 200s.
Then there were those who came over after the Piyong offensive and defensive battle. They had been with him for more than half a year. There were more than 300 people, and they were quite convinced by him.
Needless to say, the Luoyang coolies brought by the student soldiers in Houzhuang were indeed average in level, but their obedience was very good. Under the leadership of the student soldiers, their shouts were particularly loud.
In other words, among the nearly 3,000 people in the lower army after the expansion, only more than 800 and less than 900 people were very convinced or even respected him.
The remaining two thousand people were just doing errands when they agreed, even though he had already shown his unique skills.
Shao Xun is not frustrated, this is normal.
Some of them may have heard of their reputation, but after all, they have never lived or fought with them, and they still have a sense of distance.
Just use battle tempering a few times and it will be fine.
This is a cruel killing ground, and it is also the best tempering place. Those who can survive will eventually become like veteran Pan Yuan, and gradually become as good as their fingers.
After training with them for a long time, Shao Xun came to Mi Huang's mansion.
The eldest nephew and third brother came over. After receiving the news, he hurried over to meet.
"Quan..." After being glared at by Shao Xun, Xu Lang, who was waiting here, closed his mouth and asked the door to open and let Shao Xun enter the house.
"You were originally working as a gatekeeper in Sikong Mansion, but you didn't expect that you would go back more and more and come to show Lieutenant Mi the gate." Shao Xun followed behind and made a joke.
With Sikong away, there is no "dignity" under the sect, and there is no need to pay attention to dignity. Xu Lang had a lot of leisure time. He was either reading a military book all day long, or running to Mi Mansion to exchange news with Shao Xun and others.
Yu Liang also comes often.
Shao Mansion and Mi Mansion have become the activity bases of their small group.
There was a burst of laughter in the main hall.
Shao Xun could hear Mi Huang's drake voice from afar. There is also a slightly younger person who is hearing it for the first time and has never been here before.
"See Lieutenant." After saluting Mi Huang, Shao Xun's eyes were locked on the two people.
"Second uncle."
"Second brother."
The eldest nephew Shao Shen and the third brother Shao Fan came together to see the ceremony.
"Let me take a good look." Shao Xun smiled, and quickly pulled the two relatives over to take a closer look.
My nephew is only four years younger than him. The last time I saw him was three years ago. He was still a naughty boy who secretly rode someone else's horse and almost broke his butt.
Two or three years have passed, and a faint ring of down has grown on my lips, making me look like a teenager.
The face is a little dark. Apparently after Shao Xun was drafted, the family lost an important labor force. The eldest nephew had to participate in heavy physical labor. He looked like this after being exposed to the sun and rain.
Wei’s eyes are bright and full of energy, sparkling with desire for the future - he is still young and has not had time to let the suffering life wipe out all his hopes.
"Second uncle." Shao Shen grabbed the sleeves of his military uniform and said happily: "After you promoted Xiaolian, the family was exempted from taxes and servitude."
"Oh? That's it. Good thing." Shao Xun smiled.
Although it is time travel, the family has lived together for several years, and there is still basic family affection.
He still remembers that when he was sent to Luoyang by the King of Donghai, his father took out the few eggs he had and let him eat on the way, while his mother cried outside the door, and the whole family came to see him off.
Human beings are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?
Now that he has established a great career, he is naturally very happy to be able to support his family and free them from dangerous military service, heavy labor, and heavy taxes.
“Second brother.” Third brother Shao Fan bowed and whispered.
He is only one year younger than Shao Xun, but he is shy by nature and doesn't like to talk much. The family raised a cow and several sheep, which were often given to him to take care of. As a result, he could stay in the stable for a whole day, clean them carefully inside and out, and serve the animals happily.
He is a reserved, careful and serious person. His shortcoming is that he is not good at interpersonal communication and likes to keep things in his mind.
"The third brother has grown up too." Shao Xun patted his thin body gently and sighed: "From now on, follow my brother, eat more good food, and keep your body healthy."
Shao Fan nodded and said nothing.
"Second brother, it was the Mi family who helped us reset our household registration." Shao Fan said suddenly, then lowered his head and looked at his toes.
"Reset household registration?" Shao Xun was stunned at first, but soon understood that this was to help his family get out of the military household.
He is now an official and has many benefits, such as protecting relatives and so on. He can enjoy it after re-registering his household registration.
"Shao Sima, Mi Zhi is so polite." A young man in the hall who looked roughly like Mi Huang came over and bowed.
Shao Xun immediately returned the greeting and turned his eyes to Mi Huang.
"This is Xizi." Mi Huang introduced with a smile: "But he is one year older than Shao Langjun, and he just got married this year. My nephew and younger brother came to Luoyang, and I was worried that it would be unsafe on the road. , so he asked Quanzi to bring 200 Bubu to accompany him all the way, and he happened to come to Luoyang for a long experience. "
Shao Xun was moved, looked at Mi Huang, and said: "Lieutenant's righteous deed, Xun will remember it in his heart. "
Mi Huang waved his hand and said: "The relationship between you and me is extraordinary, so why should I thank you so much in the future?"
Shao Xun nodded.
He and Mi Huang are almost one. There is nothing that cannot be said. Their interests are deeply tied, so there is really no need to thank them verbally.
Mi Huang then explained about the resettlement of household registration. Shao Xun only knew the general outline, such as protecting his relatives by not paying taxes, not serving in the military, etc., but he didn't know the specific details yet.
The country has a dynasty system: "The official rank is from the first to the ninth, and each one occupies the land according to his high status... and each one uses his high or low status to protect his relatives, the more senior ones are included in the nine tribes, and the junior ones are three generations..."
To put it simply, Shao Xun is now the eighth-grade lieutenant Sima and a current official, so he can own up to fifteen hectares of land according to regulations.
Of course, the rules are rules, and everyone knows the reality.
Only an official of the first rank could occupy fifty hectares of farmland, but Shi Chong’s farmland was so vast that it was difficult to count. There were always thousands of hectares. This was literally “crisscrossing the land”.
Shao Xun was bolder and occupied the 50 hectares of land that only a first-grade official could own. No one took care of it at all - officials regardless of grade had no land or household transfer, which basically meant that they did not have to pay taxes and occupied 50 hectares of land. Just earn it.
Current officials can also protect their relatives. The nine tribes under the auspices of high officials and the three tribes of the small officials are under the influence. There is no limit on the number of people. Those who are under the incarceration do not pay taxes, do not perform corvee or military service.
"The same goes for clan members, state guests, descendants of sages and descendants of scholars" - these categories of people can also shelter their relatives.
Shao Xun can also have two people, food and clothing, without having to pay the service tax.
This court is really friendly to nobles and officials.
Shao Xun is now the eighth-grade official. After resetting the household registration, relatives of the three tribes will not be liable for service tax. Do you think they are grateful? Do you think your relatives will sacrifice their lives and bleed for him to become an official or a high official? The answer is obvious.
The promotion of Xiaolian and Lieutenant Sima was the reward obtained by the palace for capturing Sima Yi. In this matter, Sima Yue definitely did not treat Shao Xun lightly, it could even be said to be a generous reward.
In the Western Jin Dynasty, the gap between officials and people was far larger than that of the later dynasties. Much larger.
After listening to Mi Huang's explanation, Shao Xun was filled with emotion and suddenly felt a little guilty.
Sima Yue, the boss, is really good, at least he is good to fellow Donghai fellows.
I just want to...
That’s all, from now on, as long as I have the ability, I will ensure that the crown prince Sima Pi will be rich and noble for the first time, and prevent him from being slaughtered by others, so that Sima Yue’s blood will continue to exist in this world. Continue.
"Xiao Langjun, what are you thinking about?" Mi Huang asked softly when he saw Shao Xun standing there stunned.
Shao Xun came back to his senses and said, "I was thinking about how to save Luoyang for Sikong."
"Lang Jun's loyalty is admirable." Mi Huang sighed.
Shao Xun was ashamed. You don’t understand this martial artist who is rebellious and rebellious.
"The time is right, let's have lunch here. In the afternoon, you will accompany me on a tour of the city. Miao Yuan and Man Fen are very thoughtful, and they are obedient to me." Mi Huang said with a frown.
"Okay." Shao Xun was not polite at all and agreed directly.
At this moment, the servant of Mi Mansion brought someone over.
Xu Lang looked over, his expression changed, he ran over in three steps and then asked in a low voice.
Shao Xun smiled.
Xu Lang is okay. He has only been in office for a short time, and he has already accepted his confidant. Reported matters have been traced to Mi Mansion, there is a bright future!
"What's the matter?" Shao Xun asked, looking at Xu Lang who turned back.
Xu Lang's face was a little pale and he said: "I just received the news that there were soldiers from the Northern Expedition retreating outside Guangmo Gate, numbering in the thousands. Miao Yuanchu closed the city gate tightly and allowed the troops to scold him. Outside the rear city When the generals Shangguan Si, Chen Jin and others arrived with the help of the Crown Prince, Miao Yuan had no choice but to open the city gate and let the people in. Now they have gone to the palace. "
Oops! Shao Xun's heart skipped a beat. The movement was so fast, I was afraid it would be too late to stop it.
Mi Huang's expression also became serious.
He was originally a weak governor, and Miao Yuan and Man Fen only respected him superficially. Now that the Crown Prince and several Forbidden Army generals are back, what changes will happen in the city?
"Miao wants to be a common man!" Shao Xun cursed angrily and said, "I told him not to let people in, but he just refused to listen."
Mi Huang also realized the problem. Seeing the seriousness, he quickly said: "The crown prince has arrived, and he has nothing to do. This is a major matter, and we should discuss it with Cao Junsi and Wang Pushe as soon as possible."
"I will pick up the princess and the prince into Jinyong City." Shao Xun said.
"I'm going to find Cao Junsi and Wang Pushe." Mi Huang said.
The two made a prompt decision and acted separately.
"What about me?" Xu Lang said blankly.
"Go find Yu Yuangui and ask him to take his family into Jinyong City. "Shao Xun's voice floated from afar.
