When the rooster crows, Tuoba Sigong jumps up from the couch.
After wiping his face carelessly, 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 other tribes?
Perhaps winter jujubes can be grown in Pingcheng, but there are really not many of them, and the Central Plains are all over the place. 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 had not enjoyed 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 have collapsed, and if there is nothing to do, repair them." Xu Yi said while digging the soil.
Tuoba Sigong walked over, squatted on the ground, and watched Xu Yi dig the soil.
"Has your military registration been determined?" Xu Yi asked.
"It's settled, there will be a total of three hundred people, all of whom will be assigned to Longxiang Prefecture, Dubei Defense, Shi Township, Yanshi County, Henan County," Tuoba Sigong said.
"This group of people is not easy to lead." Xu Yi embedded the shovel deeply into the soil, then stepped on it with his foot, so that the shovel blade penetrated deeper, and said: "Young knight from Henan, a descendant of the hometown of Tuqi, Daiguo
The Condor Shooter is too confusing."
"Take your time and you will 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 both 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 three thousand people.
Among them, 1,200 people went to Yanshi County and were organized into Longxiang Mansion of Corpse Township. 1,200 people went to Luoyang County and were organized into Qianjin Longxiang Mansion. Another 600 people went to Luonan to complete the establishment of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard.
.
In this way, there will be 9,600 Cavalry Guards on the left and right.
This 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 Feilong Guard, but now he was transferred to Youxiao Cavalry Guard to serve as the commander of Longxiang Prefecture in Shixiang.
Tuoba Sigong was the commander 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 lived near the military city, so their relationship became even deeper.
"How is this place?" Xu Yi put down his 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.
, what’s surprising?
For people who come from a bitter cold land, they were originally 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. 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 little distant.
"You became a soldier at the age of fifteen?"
"What? You can't go into battle at the age of fifteen?" Xu Yi said with a smile: "I got married when I was fifteen. My father told me that she is the daughter of Mr. Zhang, the deputy general of the Li Jiafang Army."
"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.
hectares, and I haven’t purchased an inch yet. In fact, my family only has
It's just more than eight hectares of land, but there are five brothers. Except for 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 would have been good, but my brother didn't want it, and I was too lazy to accept that bird's attitude and get married.
Then we went to Zuo Feilongwei."
"In this Northern Expedition, I went through the formation twice and achieved the sixth level of merit. I can be awarded the title of Flying Cavalry Captain (seventh grade) and appointed as the Chief of the Department. Haha, brother wants me to go home again."
Tuoba Sigong followed and laughed twice.
It's really hard for him to say anything about other people's private matters at home.
In this world, officials are the most important. Officials are everything. Without officials, no land can be occupied.
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 truly terrifying.
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 gain five levels of skill 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, then you can occupy more land. In the future, he will have ten or eight children.
Every child has a share of land, and the family business will prosper."
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, so we must not be ungrateful." Xu Yi said, "If the king is here, we can enjoy the benefit in peace. If the king is not here, everything will be difficult to say. Therefore, if something happens to the king, we will kill him for him."
Get rid of the thieves."
"This is the right principle." Tuoba Sigong said loudly.
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
This is class friendship.
You must remember how everyone's benefits come from. It is not easy for King Liang to break through the dark curtain that shrouds the world. At this time, everything has just begun, everything is not stable yet, and there is still the possibility of being counterattacked. , must not be taken 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, he will become shrewd.
****
After staying in Dubei for a few days, 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 behind by the previous owner whose name is unknown.
These trees were all 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, a 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." 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." Tuoba Sigong said.
"That's good." Guanqiu Lu originally planned to pick up his family when he went north to do business. Once he heard about the arrangements of the Longxiang Mansion, he gave up and said instead: "It's a pity that the Tuoba clan didn't go south. Otherwise, It can be used to judge your family status. If you are promising, it may not be impossible to shamelessly join a distant branch. In that case, you don't necessarily need to hang out in the army and lick blood from the blade of a knife to get an official position."
"Can Tuoba family judge family status?" Tuoba Sigong was a little surprised.
He knew how barbarian chiefs evaluated 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 the people After descending to the west of Jinzhen, the king ordered thousands of his family members to move eastward and place them in Xingyang. Pu is now Puhong, and his family will go to Fangtou, Ji County." Guanqiu Lu said: "If the family is listed in the genealogy, we can check it out. Lift, conquer, and everything will be smooth from now on."
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 hesitate at all, 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 just pressed your fingerprints without asking any questions? What if they want 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 took a look with a complicated look on his face.
It turned out that this was a form of persuasion to enter, and all the high-ranking officials in Longxiang Mansion in Corpse Township were listed on it, with only one fingerprint missing.
Guanqiu Lu handed the document back and asked, "Are all the dozens of military offices in the world like this?"
"Exactly." Xu Yi said: "The warriors all over the world hope that King Liang will ascend the throne to reassure everyone."
"What a good 'to calm people's hearts'." Guanqiu Lu sighed.
How does it feel when others look forward to you and beg you to become emperor?
Thinking of some people who 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 does not make you happy when you look at Guo Zuo. Looks too long.
There is no opportunism in the world of King Liang, it is all built with swords and guns, 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 barbarians and Xia", and "advancing with the times", finally allowed King Liang to reach this point.
If you don’t understand what “popularity 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 has to abdicate." Xu Yi said: "Such incompetent people have brought the world to such a state, they should get out long ago."
"The world is in chaos. Although the emperor is at fault today, the fault is not all his fault." Guanqiu Lu couldn't help but say.
"It doesn't 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 try, it's useless.
