Wang Guizhi sighed secretly in his heart, bowed to Yu Shinan three times, and said quietly: "Master Yu is my benefactor, and I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!"
Liu Ziqiu laughed and said: "That's right! It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Liu will arrange your wedding today!"
Now, there are many servants and maids in Yu Shinan's family, so it is easy to arrange a simple marriage. Liu Ziqiu does not need to do it himself. He just plays the role of officiating. Of course, after all, Wang Guizhi was Yang Guang's woman, and her status is relatively high.
It was special, so Liu Ziqiu did not make any big announcement, and even none of his close men and women were present. Liu Ziqiu happily returned to his house in Jishanfang without even drinking.
The age gap between Yu Shinan and Wang Guizhi is indeed large, but it is precisely because of the large age gap that Yu Shinan is more protective of Wang Guizhi. This feeling is something she has never encountered before. On the other hand, Wang Guizhi does regard Yu Shinan as a
In order to avenge her father's benefactor for her, she also had a heart to repay her kindness. An old couple and a young couple lived in harmony. A year later, Wang Guizhi gave birth to a son for Yu Shinan. Yu Shinan had been in seclusion for many years.
He fell in love, finally embraced a beautiful woman, and got a son in middle age. All this was due to Liu Ziqiu's help. From then on, he was loyal to Liu Ziqiu and had no second thoughts. These are things for later, let's not mention them for now.
But when Liu Ziqiu returned home, Gao Xiuer didn't see Wang Guizhi, so she couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Husband, where is Mrs. Wang?"
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Mrs. Wang is already married."
Gao Xiuer was taken aback and whispered: "Husband, I thought you were going to take Wang Guizhi."
Liu Ziqiu gently hugged her slender waist and said: "Aren't you satisfied with your husband? How can I win the title of Long Wangshu? My husband wants to do a big career, but he doesn't want to end up with the reputation of being a lecher like Yang Guang."
, arranged for posterity.”
Gao Xiuer felt happy, but she hesitated again when she thought of Xie Xiangwen and Yuan Ziyan who were still in the room. Gao Xiuer had already inquired about the thoughts of these two people just now, and knew that they were willing to follow Liu Ziqiu, but they just listened to Liu Ziqiu's wishes, but they didn't seem to be willing.
The way they accepted them. Gao Xiuer originally wanted to mention this matter in front of Liu Ziqiu, but now she had to give it up and said in a deep voice: "Husband, do you still remember Xue Ye'er next to Queen Xiao?"
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "You mean the girl who wields two swords?"
"Yes, that's her." Gao Xiu'er shook Liu Ziqiu's arm and said softly, "She is also my good sister. I have seen her depressed these days and asked again and again. She just told the truth. She has
My sweetheart wants to ask my husband to make the decision for her."
Liu Ziqiu laughed: "Miss Xue is naturally beautiful. If she falls in love with someone, it will be someone's blessing. What do you want me to do?"
There is another sentence he didn't say, it's just a veil between a woman and a man. Is this difficult?
"Husband, I want to tell you something serious!" Gao Xiuer pouted and said coquettishly, "Sister Yeer's sweetheart is your general Wen Haowen."
"Wen Hao, that guy is a bit dull." Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "As a husband, you can mention this to him."
Gao Xiuer said worriedly on her face: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. I heard that Wen Hao's wife is called Fan Yu'er, the woman who stabbed you in Xiyuan. Fan Yu'er and Xue Ye'er were both Yang Guang's guards back then, and they both
We are quite familiar with each other. Fan Yuer mentioned in casual conversation that if she marries someone in the future, her husband will not be allowed to take concubines, otherwise she will become a nun! They are all women selected into the palace, and their hope of getting married is extremely slim.
So it was just a joke at the time."
After a pause, Gao Xiuer continued: "Who knew that God would play a trick on people. Fan Yuer really got married, and Xue Yeer just fell in love with Fan Yuer's husband."
Liu Ziqiu felt like a mirror in his heart, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "This matter is a bit tricky. Fan Yu'er has now changed her name to Fan Lihua. This name was given to her by her father, which means to make her forget the past and Yang
The relationship between her family and her family is such that she can be herself again. But her name is easy to change, but her true nature is hard to change. Fan Lihua has a strong temperament, so she may not be able to agree to Wen Hao's move to take a concubine. Besides, it's hard to say whether Wen Hao himself is willing."
In fact, Liu Ziqiu knew in his heart that this incident was caused by Fan Lihua herself. The relationship between Fan Lihua and Xue Yeer was like a pair of best friends. When they were in Longxi Palace, the two of them stayed together all day long, and the topics would naturally change.
When it comes to Wen Hao, Wen Hao is extremely kind to Fan Lihua, and Fan Lihua’s happiness is written on her face. And Xue Yeer himself has no chance to interact with young men. He has heard Wen Hao’s name a lot, so naturally he
Got a good impression.
Gao Xiuer had no contact with Fan Lihua, so she suddenly became a little angry: "I don't care, I'll leave this matter to you."
Liu Ziqiu's head was full of wrinkles and he sighed: "Okay, I'll do my best."
…
Bit of Yuanyangpu was just Liu Ziqiu's part-time job. His focus soon turned to this country, and he promulgated government orders one after another.
The power of the prefects and county magistrates in various counties has been greatly restricted. They only care about the people but not the army. They don't even have the right to mobilize the soldiers guarding the city. However, their salaries have been increased a lot, which can be considered to be barely appeased.
These local officials feel disappointed. However, although the military power of local officials has been taken back, their powers in other aspects have been expanded. The prefects of each county have the right to appoint and remove officials in their own county and counties under their jurisdiction. They only need to report to the court for record.
In order to prevent these local officials from developing influence, Liu Ziqiu also stipulated that the chief officials of each county should not be re-elected for more than five years and must serve in different places.
The establishment of official medical clinics across the country has also begun. All doctors who sit in the clinics receive a salary from the imperial court. Every year, the Taiyuan Hospital sends people to assess them. Based on the assessment results, they are graded and the salary is determined. They can enter official medical clinics for treatment.
The patients only have to pay for their own medicines, but not for consultation. Of course, the important basis for treating patients in medical clinics in various places is "Qian Jin Prescription", which Liu Ziqiu ordered to reprint. At the same time, Wu Qin Xi is also a compulsory course for doctors in the clinic.
Vigorously developing medicine was a major measure taken by Liu Ziqiu in terms of people's livelihood, and it was also the fulfillment of his original promise to Sun Simiao.
Another important measure is the reform of the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system was pioneered by Yang Guang, but its implementation was not very strong. After Liu Ziqiu came to Luoyang, he immediately began to reform the imperial examination system. After all, he came from later generations and could refer to more than a thousand
Some practices after the year. County schools and county schools were established all over the country, and a Imperial College was established in Luoyang and Chang'an. Yu Shinan was appointed as a Imperial College scholar, in charge of the two Imperial Colleges and the imperial examinations. At the same time, the imperial examinations were
The time is set to be held every two years and is divided into five subjects: literature, martial arts, engineering, medicine, and agriculture. Of course, the number of students admitted to each subject has also been greatly reduced.
The fourth measure is to establish a new hierarchy of titles. The titles are divided into three levels: duke, marquis and uncle, and each level is divided into three levels. The title can be hereditary, but there is one thing. No matter which level or level the title is,
They were only honorary titles and did not enjoy the imperial salary. This greatly reduced the burden on the imperial court. Opposition to this measure in the imperial court was still very strong, especially among some former ministers. But Liu Ziqiu only used
One sentence made them all quiet down: all the past titles were invalid and would be re-evaluated by the court based on each person's merit!
However, Liu Ziqiu's focus was always on army construction. As his territory expanded, more and more troops were in his hands. In order to manage more conveniently, he divided the army into three types, namely the regular army and the local army.
and private armies.
The regular army includes 50,000 nomadic cavalry, 50,000 Han cavalry, 100,000 infantry, 20,000 Mo Dao soldiers and 20,000 naval troops. The nomadic cavalry is stationed in Hexi counties all year round, and the remaining troops are stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang, which facilitates centralized control by the court.
.
The size of the local army is set up differently according to the situation in each place. There are more border counties and fewer inner counties. Their generals are also appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of War, and they cannot serve in the same place for more than five years. This is to prevent the emergence of local generals.
The situation of supporting troops with self-respect. In this era, transportation is very inconvenient. If a general rebels with troops, if troops are mobilized from Chang'an and Luoyang to suppress it, it will take a long time and the cost will be astronomical.
Regardless of the regular army or the local army, the requirements for military discipline are equally strict, and the only differences are in training and equipment. On the other hand, soldiers in the regular army and the local army implement a recruitment system. After the autumn harvest every year, they are uniformly recruited by the court and trained intensively.
Later, they were transferred to serve in various armies. These soldiers no longer farmed the land and could receive a certain amount of pay from the court every month. The service period ranged from five to ten years. After the service period, if they were not promoted
As officers, they have to retire. Of course, after they retire, the court will issue a certain amount of subsidies, and they can also be arranged to serve as subordinate officials in the county government in their hometown.
While the newly recruited soldiers are being trained, they will also receive certain cultural studies. It is especially important to instill in them an idea that tells them who they serve as soldiers and who they fight for. Their bloodshed and sacrifice are not for the emperor.
It is not for their officers, but for this country, for the people in this country, to protect their fathers, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters. Speaking from the heart becomes their military song, and every new soldier must
learn.
Private armies only exist in Xihai and Mobei. Only Tuoba Mumi, Mulin, Du Mi, Xue Shixiong and Daman can have private armies. The so-called private armies are actually the herdsmen and nomads in these tribes.
The nature of the tribe determines that these herdsmen are born warriors. Even if Liu Ziqiu does not allow them to have private soldiers, they actually already have private soldiers. So far, Daman has refused to obey Liu Ziqiu's orders.
The soldiers can be called a regular army. Allowing them to have private armies through decrees not only consolidated their status in their respective tribes, but also further realized Liu Zi's strategic purpose of ruling by the autumnal equinox.
