For the first time, Marshal Shao ordered rewards to be given to doctors and teaching assistants in various states, doctors and teaching assistants in each county, and martial arts teachers at all levels.
This kind of etiquette was difficult for most of them to enjoy in the past. There are not many things, but it shows a good trend, that is, the commander-in-chief attaches great importance to the merits of education.
He also plans to provide some subsidies to economics students at the state and county levels.
There are 40 students in the state school, who are paid 200 yuan a month, and 20 students in the county school, who are paid 100 yuan a month. Now there are not enough students to recruit, which is outrageous. Are the young people in Lingxia so unwilling to study?
Local talents are very important, otherwise how long will we have to rely on the aristocratic family?
In fact, it doesn't cost much. Including doctorate and education salaries, taking the Confucian classics in the three counties of Xiazhou as an example, the total expenditure in a year is only four to five hundred yuan, which is the cost of raising twenty soldiers.
Shao Shude even thought that the number of Confucian classics students could be doubled, but he was not sure if there would be enough people willing to go to school.
Xiazhou martial arts student Li Chong, his father is a Confucian scholar in the town, and his son has given up literature and joined martial arts. What else can you say? The fierce martial arts in the northwest has seriously suppressed the literary style, resulting in the state and county schools not receiving enough
Being a student is simply outrageous.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the whole town has a holiday, but Marshal Shao cannot take a holiday.
He enjoyed the feeling of high power, but he also had to shoulder responsibilities. He did it to protect the country and the people. There were no invasions or internal rebellions. For this reason, Marshal Shao did not hesitate to sell his body and serve the tribal women every night...
Today, he brought a small number of followers with him and behaved strangely. He went directly to a village in the western suburbs of Shuofang County in order not to let the officials know.
There was black smoke billowing in the village. At first glance, I thought the party had invaded. When I got closer, I saw that the villagers were burning brooms. This was the custom of the Yuan Dynasty.
On the road, I met a few women walking home, with their children and bags. This was a return trip to their parents' home, which was also a custom in the Yuan Dynasty. Some people also took carriages. In Lingxia, there are many horses, donkeys and mules, and the carriages require a lot of maintenance.
.
Seeing a large group of mounted sergeants arriving at the entrance of the village, the people were a little confused, but not panicked.
"This is Huang Silang's house?" Shao Shude asked, standing in front of a courtyard.
"Go back to Marshal and ask someone. It is indeed Huang Silang's family."
The yard occupies a large area. Outside is a fence made of branches and reeds. Within the fence are vegetable beds and a few pear trees. In one corner, there are also a few sheep with some random things erected on top.
The branches and thatch serve as shelter for the sheep.
Two children were planting sesame poles in the yard. When they saw a large group of armored warriors walking in, their faces were stunned, and one of the smaller ones started crying.
"Is this so scary..." Shao Shude smiled awkwardly.
A woman walked out of the kitchen with a baby wrapped on her back. She looked a little panicked when she saw the large group of soldiers.
"The rituals of opening the government are the same as those of the three divisions, and the holidays are the same as those of Zhongshu Menxiapingzhangshi, the Taifu of the school is inspected, the four governors of Guanbei are commanded, the envoys are arranged and envoys are arranged, and the military envoys are determined to deal with difficulties..."
"Why is it so complicated?" Shao Shude stretched out his hand to stop Li Renfu's "chanting" and said kindly: "This is Shao Shude, and you are Huang Silang's wife?"
"Amin Li, she is Huang Silang's wife." Li was startled and was about to prostrate herself.
Shao Shude helped him up with his own hands and said: "Huang Silang was incredibly brave when he attacked Lanzhou and killed two thieves. You are the survivor of the brave warrior and there is no need to kneel down."
After saying that, Shao Shude looked at the table full of food, and then at the family furnishings in the house. Fortunately, Huang Silang's life at home was pretty good during his lifetime. Looking up at the house again, there were three rooms with a mixed brick and wood structure.
The tile-roofed house has a hall in the middle, bedrooms on the left and right sides, a well in the yard, a woodshed, a kitchen, and a cowshed, which are more than ordinary people.
"Have you received the monthly grain gift of one bushel of grain?" Shao Shude turned around, looked at Li, and asked.
"I got it." Mrs. Li said softly with a sad face: "Every month in the state, someone will send someone to bring it. Sometimes it's all corn and wheat, sometimes it's mixed with some beans."
Shao Shude nodded.
The pension of twelve grains a year is more than 1,300 kilograms, which is enough for this snack during the junior year.
"Does the family have land?" Shao Shude asked again.
"My late husband bought about 40 acres before his death. Amin couldn't cultivate it by himself, so he rented it to party members who came down from the mountain to cultivate it."
"Have you ever paid your rent on time?"
"They charge 30% of the rent, and the taxes and servitude are also paid by them, and there is no arrears."
"That's good." Shao Shude finally felt relieved.
My soldiers fought for me while they were alive, but after they die, their families must not live in misery.
Winning the troops' morale does not rely on rhetoric or morality, but on actually solving their worries.
In the early years of the Chinese dynasty, there was also a policy that the survivors of fallen soldiers could receive food gifts. Why could it not be implemented later? It was a financial difficulty!
Any good policy will eventually be defeated by the helpless reality. If tens of thousands of people die in a war, the compensation will have to be provided by heaven. In the wars between the Guo Dynasty, Tubo and Nanzhao, sometimes the number of casualties seemed really shocking. No wonder it was implemented later.
Can't go down anymore.
"The commander is here!"
"Meet the Marshal!"
Seven or eight people suddenly came outside the courtyard, but were stopped at a distance by the soldiers.
"Who are you waiting for?" Shao Shude asked.
"Liu Dayou, a sergeant of the Ding Brigade of the Right Battalion of the Tielin Army."
"Fire Chief Jin San of Team B of the Front Battalion of the Wuwei Army."
"We, the Zhang family brothers, are all sergeants in the left wing of the Iron Cavalry Army."
…
Shao Shude pushed away the soldiers, walked up to a few people, and asked with a smile: "I have come to a good place. There are so many athletes living in the village."
"In the past, the military parades of the generals could not be seen clearly from a distance, but today we can see them in person."
"I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have never seen a general who was not at home for a banquet on the first day of the year."
"Only the commander-in-chief knows the sufferings of our warriors, but the emperor who lives in the deep palace knows nothing!"
"You have been in the army for more than ten years?" Shao Shude was surprised when he heard this and asked, "When did you join the Yamen Army?"
"The general entered when he was still in Hedong. A certain Heyang army member was from Wuzhi County, Huaizhou. When he was in Daizhou, Li Kan killed Su Hongzhen and asked the general to temporarily deter the Heyang army, so I followed
Commander." After saying that, the man looked at his comrades beside him. This qualification really made everyone feel a little ashamed, even though he is still a top soldier.
"Old man Daizhou, the journey has not been easy." Shao Shude patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "These new clothes are good. Seeing that you are living a good life, I feel relieved. In the past, I made an appointment with you to share wealth and wealth.
, I dare not forget."
"Only the marshal treats us as human beings. My eldest husband is fifteen years old. In a few years, we, father and son, will go to war for the marshal together."
"Let's go and walk around the village together." It was a bit cold today, but the sunshine was good, and Shao Shude suddenly became interested in looking around.
Before leaving, he took a look at the kitchen of Huang Silang's house. The food in it was all traditional New Year foods, such as chicken shreds, eggs, wontons, glutinous rice dumplings, etc. There was also mutton. It was good to be able to maintain this kind of life.
After asking Li Renfu to leave a few pieces of silk for Mr. Li, Shao Shude walked out of the courtyard and walked to the dirt road in the countryside.
Beyond the dirt road is a large gray field, with a few sheep standing on the edge of the fields, listlessly munching on dry weeds.
The north wind blows, and the bare trees on the river bank dance with the wind.
On the path by the forest, a carriage gradually faded away with laughter and laughter. The bride who was returning home was sitting in the carriage, seeming a little shy. She didn’t know what embarrassing questions she would be asked by her childhood playmates when she returned to her parents’ home.
.
The sun shines on the wilderness.
Shao Shude walked first, surrounded by a group of warriors wearing colorful new clothes. They talked and laughed loudly and were in high spirits.
No one else can pull this team away!
When I got home, it was already afternoon.
"You've been running around outside for a long time, so why can't you just rest at home? Why aren't other commanders as busy as you?" Zhe Fangmai came forward to greet Shao Shude, complaining while helping Shao Shude undress his uniform.
"It's not that easy to enjoy wealth and wealth. I first have to appease tens of thousands of soldiers, let them eat well and be in a good mood, and then let the people live a comfortable life before I dare to enjoy it." Shao Shude sat on the chair and asked
Said: "Where is my son?"
"I'm throwing beans by the well, and a maid is watching. Later I have to worship my ancestors, drive away rats, take care of insect pests, marry trees, and so on. Don't run away anymore."
"I'm going to tease the kid, my good wife is busy first." Shao Shude stood up quickly. If he didn't leave, he would have calluses on his ears.
Yu Niang was sitting in the yard making Huasheng. When she saw Shao Shude coming over, she quickly picked up a piece and asked, "Does it look good?"
"I'm not as good-looking as you." Seeing that there was no one around, Shao Shude took Zhao Yu into his arms, pinched his butt a few times, and said, "I recently learned some rhymes from Huang Tuiguan and wrote a poem.
I’ll give you a review tonight.”
Zhao Yu smiled silently and blinked: "Okay..."
Just as he was about to indulge his sibling lust again, the Turkic girl Shu came in and said softly: "Your Majesty, someone from the Wangsi is coming to the front yard. He said that your Majesty has ordered that urgent matters must be delivered immediately at any time.
"
"Remote Ren Yuji from his post..."
"Ah..." Ge Shushi looked confused.
Shao Shude sighed, pinched the girl's fair face, and said, "Just pretend you didn't hear anything."
After arriving at the front yard, the envoy from the Tingwang Department was waiting there, respectfully handing an urgent message to Shao Shude.
Shao Shude was rewarded with a min of money, and the man left with great gratitude.
Sending official letters to your boss during the Chinese New Year is generally not a good thing, but sometimes there are unexpected surprises, especially when you meet a reasonable boss.
Shao Shude opened the urgent document and read it for a while, then put it down.
Yang Fugong summoned Zhuge Shuang to the court, which was expected.
Shao Shude smiled, Mr. Yang must be very scared now. If he wants to be held accountable for "estrangement between monarch and ministers", there is no way out. He can only go all the way to the dark side.
The military morale in the town is still usable!
After the Spring Society Festival, the army gathered in Xiazhou. After mobilization, the whole army went south. Now, they are waiting for Zhu Mei's response.
The Tielin Army, the Iron Cavalry Army, the Zhenwu Army, the Yi Cong Army, and the Leopard Cavalry Army, these five armies of 20,000 to 30,000 people will definitely be dispatched. The Wuwei Army and the Dingyuan Army will stay in Lingxia. As for the Tianzhu Army, Shao Shude originally wanted to send them
He was going to Liangzhou, but there was no response yet, so he hesitated again. He might as well follow him on the expedition this time.
This is 33,000 people. The Yinshan Fan tribe sent 6,000 troops, the Hengshan Fan tribe also sent 6,000 troops to supplement the Yi Cong army, and Hexi Dangxiang transferred another 3,000 troops, making the entire army 48,000 people, with more than two combat troops.
Fifteen thousand.
Fortunately, this time Lingxia did not need to send the master to accompany the army. After arriving in Guanzhong, he was familiar with the road and distributed donations, food and troops. If the Lingxia states were still responsible for these things, he would never dare to send out nearly five troops.
