It doesn't mean that the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army of the Tang Dynasty can't do other things. They have to live as people of the Tang Dynasty and die as ghosts of the Tang Dynasty, because after most of the officers of the Forbidden Army stationed at the border fortress all year round, there will still be a time when they remove their armor and return to their fields.
A considerable number of these people, because they have been stationed all year round, met a certain girl in the frontier fortress. After disarming and retiring from the army, they naturally formed families and lived in the local area. The court will definitely not say anything at first, and will also specially give out money and food to reward them.
Because this is equivalent to people choosing to guard the border for generations, and some of them return to their hometowns of origin, usually farming.
But "generally working in farming" means that these Forbidden Army soldiers chose to work in farming. The conscription originated from farmers' families, and they returned to Nanshan after disarming. This is also accurate for the imperial court, and there is no problem. Of course, rewards will be given - of course there is no
There was plenty left at the frontier.
But no matter how you say it, generally speaking, as long as these people don't mess around and cause trouble, the court will allow them freedom. It will only express condolences through administrative channels from time to time to maintain that these people still have feelings for the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time educate them.
To prevent violence by force from happening.
Basically, that's all. As for people not returning to their fields and looking for other livelihoods, this is not prohibited.
Take the current maritime trade industry in the Tang Dynasty, which is not only prosperous, but also has begun to mature in various processes. Among them, there are many senior sailors, ship owners, second mates and third mates. A considerable proportion of the people in this industry have retired from military service.
of the Imperial Guards.
This can be regarded as a solution to a problem that the Chinese court has often faced since ancient times. Young people are very yearning for the military, but they often spend half their lives in the military.
These frontier-opening activities did not produce enough economic benefits, and the rewards that the imperial court could give were naturally difficult to satisfy. Although the territory was getting larger and larger, the development capacity was insufficient, and the economy gradually became tired.
Finally, as time went on, turmoil began, just like the late Western Han Dynasty. Wang Mang.
This name has been mentioned in China for thousands of years, but in the final analysis, it is just a supporting role in history.
But things are different now!
"Opening up frontiers" has a new meaning, and it is no longer as difficult to generate economic benefits as in the past. Therefore, the officials of the Tang Dynasty naturally have a very positive attitude towards retired Forbidden Army soldiers joining this path.
However, Li Er was still surprised, because it was necessary to recruit retired Forbidden Army soldiers to go to sea. Although the court allowed it, it was not easy. Are you kidding me, how can the martial arts of the Forbidden Army soldiers be compared to ordinary people? Those are hot goods. Without high salary, it is not allowed anymore.
If you want the "official position" of third mate and second mate, I hope people won't do it with you.
It would be even more difficult to invite the Forbidden Army officers!
In fact, since the Imperial Guard generals of the Tang Dynasty were captains, their retirement rewards and pensions were naturally very generous. If they wanted to engage in maritime trade, they often chose to buy their own ships and go to sea.
Being able to invite such talents to be guards is something that no ordinary person can do!
Moreover, judging from the extraordinary abilities of this man, Li Er estimated that this burly man might have some reputation among the Forbidden Army, but he just didn't know it since he had not personally led the troops in recent years.
In this surprise, Li Er became even more curious about this "Works Division", and was surprised that after all these years of development, Saint Maiden Port has actually given birth to such a powerful private force.
In fact, due to various reasons, Chinese people's impressions of the ancient imperial court were wrong. For example, the imperial power would be wary of local power being too powerful. In fact, Li Er hated local tyrants who had a fishy side and "thousands of acres of fertile land".
This kind of tyranny occupies a large amount of resources and leads to a large number of famines. If there is famine, there will be civil unrest. How can the imperial court like it?
But this "Gongsi" is obviously not like that. I don't know how many people have made more money here than in their hometown. At the same time, the sea trade routes have been expanded, and more gold and silver have been obtained from overseas and flowed into China.
How could Li Er be disgusted?
Although there are various reasons, in the final analysis, Li Er himself does not hate this "work division", which is the key to everything.
Otherwise, how could Tang Taizong be so easily offended?
But the engineering company was actually able to recruit retired Forbidden Army officers to "serve as officials" here, which surprised me.
This means that this "engineering company" is running very well, has a very strong profitability, and can pay more than a retired Forbidden Army officer can earn by going to sea on his own!
This makes Li Er curious!
However, being curious, Li Er still dealt with it carefully. After smiling and greeting the other party, he also introduced himself as Lao Li and asked the other party what arrangements he had.
Hearing this, the security captain looked much more serious and said, "It's not difficult to meet our president, but you have to make an appointment first. Our president is very busy, but I saw Brother Li's extraordinary bearing today, so I will also make it convenient for Brother Li.
We will do it in three days."
.......
After some questioning, Li Er finally breathed a sigh of relief!
No matter who the real boss of this engineering company is, as long as he can see it, it will be easy to tell when the time comes, because since this engineering company is so great, then this boss must also be extraordinary. Then, at such a close place, the other party has a lot of potential.
Chance of meeting Li Sheng!
At that time, whether I directly ask the "boss" of this "engineering department" or ask him to help arrange a meeting with Li Sheng, everything will be easy.
But seeing the security captain leaving, Li Er remembered something else. What happened to Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, these three thieves???
But when he chased them out and saw that they were already far away, Li Er felt a little worried. He just thought that these old guys were all human beings and would not suffer any loss, so he felt relieved and waited with peace of mind.
Meeting three days later.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Li Er feels inexplicably relaxed.
These three days should not be shorter, and I can only wait. However, this "can only wait" makes the body and mind that have been working hard for many years in the palace feel extra relaxed.
In this simple but exquisite house, Li Er felt a long-lost sense of comfort these past few days.
But three days later, when they saw Wei Zheng, Fang Du, and Li Er, they almost stopped crying.
These three guys turned out to be like Kunlun slaves!
The moment he was escorted to see him, Li Er almost stared out of his eyes and said in shock, "What are you three doing? I wonder what's going on with this brother?"
"What's wrong?"
The few security guards who sent us had no good expressions, "You sneaked in without an appointment. The captain is willing to protect you, but he didn't say he would protect them. Naturally, they will be arrested and sent to work. Okay, stop talking nonsense, my president is in the president's office
Lou, come with me."
Li Er looked at Wei Zheng and others and couldn't help but laugh out loud. These three unscrupulous people have been gangsters in the court for so long because of Li Sheng's appearance. Now it's retribution, hehe.
