Liu Xie and Pei Mao reached a consensus and immediately approved Yang Biao's memorial.
The strategy of military camps is feasible, but the county limit is limited to 40,000 households. One soldier in the household is from 40,000 soldiers, divided into four generals in front, back, left and right, and each of them is 10,000.
The military households provide their own military rations and store them in a unified manner in counties. The ordnance is supplied by the iron officials and subsidies are provided by the Grand Minister's Farmers.
The expenses of the court were provided by the income from Tieguan, Yanchi and Shanze. Considering that these incomes were limited, from the emperor to ordinary soldiers, they should be frugal and prohibit extravagance and waste.
All court etiquettes, including the ceremony of worshiping heaven, were frugal, so as not to increase the burden on the people of Hedong.
Yang Biao received the edict and was happy and worried.
What I am happy about is that the emperor advocates frugality and is the kingly way of heart.
What I worry about is that this frugality seems to be a bit too much, and the life of paying for a salary is nowhere to be achieved.
The emperor is all about food and clothing, so how dare they ask for money?
But if you don’t have money, where does the gift come from?
Etiquette is never cheap, the more grand the ceremony, the more money it costs.
This is undoubtedly a trouble.
Yang Biao took the edict and turned to Xun Yu.
After reading the approval, Xun Yu was very calm. "Does Yang love Yang, and do you love etiquette?"
Yang Biao had a look. "How can a ceremony be achieved without a sheep?"
Xun Yu spread his hands. "There is no sheep now, what's the etiquette? Not to mention the whole county of Hedong, how many people in Anyi County came to occupy the land, Yang Gong must have heard of it. Tens of thousands of troops gathered here to raise them
I am already poor in the food rations and the rewards for the New Year. I really can't take out the sacrifices of the imperial court ceremony."
Yang Biao sighed helplessly, becoming more and more angry with Shi Sun Rui's merciful heart at the time.
The failure to attack the Hedong clans resulted in the extremely limited materials that the court had, and even the sacrifices of the ceremony were not prepared.
The emperor issued an edict to the people occupy the land, but few responded, and there were no more temples in Anyi County.
Obviously, these Hedong clans would not care about it without using thunder means.
But it is not enough to cancel the rewards to the soldiers.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, and most of them were Xiliang soldiers who had just surrendered. If they were not rewarded during the Chinese New Year, they would definitely cause trouble.
But his anger towards Shi Sun Rui was just to say it. He was actually very clear in his heart. If he really wanted to fight Wei, Fan would be killed. Hedong could not be so quiet now, and they would not be in the mood to argue whether it was a sheep or a ritual.
.
All leniency and strictness are wrong.
"In your opinion, what should I do?"
"In the past, Dayu controlled the flood, and the fissures were not erect and the hair was hairless. After thirteen years of passing by the house but not entering, the world was found. Now Luoyang is in sight, and the emperor will not return. The New Year is coming, and I am determined to hunt north and work hard to let Dayu go.
This is a blessing for the Han Dynasty. Why should Mr. Yang be calculating about whether there are sheep in the sacrifice ceremony?"
Yang Biao rolled his eyes and wanted to speak but stopped.
"Besides, Taiyuan was originally the homeland of Emperor Xiaowen. The emperor could also sacrifice to the mountains and rivers without having to go to the east of the river."
Yang Biao's eyes rolled, and his anger turned into joy.
"Wenruo, this plan is feasible. But... in this way, the ministers and ministers must follow."
"Does Mr. Yang feel far away?"
Yang Biao was stunned and pretended to be angry and said, "Zhu Zi, do you dislike me for spending money and food in Hedong and want to drive me to Taiyuan?"
Xun Yu laughed and then said, "Why did Mr. Yang say this? I just hope that the Northern Army will arrive in Taiyuan as soon as possible. One day earlier, you will have one more chance of winning. If you don't make meritorious service, how can the Sage Sun Junrong become the Taiwei?"
Yang Biao understood it.
Xun Yu sent Yang Biao away, and then summoned five supervisors and ordered them to send the documents of recruiting civilian military camps to each county, and they must be delivered before the fifth day of the first lunar month so that each county can make various preparations during the New Year.
, It will be fully implemented as soon as the New Year is over.
Situ Zhao Wen and Sikong Zhang Xi summoned the ministers to discuss matters and announced a notice.
No salary will be paid during the Chinese New Year this year.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sigh in the middle of the hall.
The New Year is approaching, and everyone is looking forward to paying a salary, even if it is a month.
After running around for so long, even the clothes I changed were torn, so it was time to buy a new one.
After running with the imperial court for a few years, the savings had already been spent, and there was only one hope for salary. If you don’t pay your salary, how can you live this year?
After everyone whispered for a while, Situ Zhao Wen announced the second news.
Because of the shortage of materials, all etiquette will be simple. On the New Year's Day, the grand ceremony can only be held with a ceremony, and the subsequent suburban sacrifices must also be reduced in scale.
Many people have no energy to refute this important news that concerns the court's dignity.
It is said that etiquette is very simple, and if you really want to handle it, everyone knows how difficult it is. If this responsibility falls on your own, wouldn’t it be boring to make things happen?
Let’s start from the simplicity, who made the court so poor?
Some people couldn't help but look at Shi Sun Rui.
At the beginning, I thought Shi Sun Rui was right and had the spirit of a kind elder, but now I think Shi Sun Rui was a little ruthless. If I took advantage of Wei Gu and Fan Xian's rebellion to kill a group of people, the spoils would be enough to support it.
Now, seeing the Hedong clans are so popular that they drink and drink, the court cannot even take out the money for the ceremony, and they have no salary to pay.
Shi Sun Rui's face remained calm and calm as water.
Finally, Situ Zhao Wen announced the third news.
Although there is no salary to pay, there is a reward.
It is not based on the official rank, but according to the person, each person has two kilograms of meat, one liter of wine, and three hundred dollars, and the underage children are halved.
Most of the officials were single, and very few of them were with their families, so the expenses were not large, so the court found a way to take them out.
In addition, Shaofu is discussing with Hedong County to buy some cloth from Kanto with salt and iron to solve the difficulties of officials in dressing. If it goes well, when the weather gets warmer, everyone can change into new clothes.
After hearing this, the resentment in everyone's heart dissipated a lot.
Although these things can only be eaten for one or two, they are better than nothing.
The imperial court really has no money, and it is no longer easy to do this.
On the thirtyth day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor rewards the army.
After Xun Yu's efforts and Pei Mao's cooperation, Liu Xie finally collected all the supplies to reward the three armies.
Each person has five kilograms of meat, two liters of wine, and five hundred dollars.
There are not many things, but it is the court's intention.
This is a reward that can only be achieved when no ministers and ministers have no salary to receive. If the salary of ministers is given priority to pay, ordinary soldiers will not even see the meat, let alone meat.
The ability to cooperate with the ministers is to make the emperor frugal, and on the other hand, it is also due to the examples of Yang Biao, Zhao Wen and others.
It is said that the courtiers received even less rewards, only about half.
Although there are few things, the friendship is strong. The emperor's affection for his soldiers can be seen.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor summoned the generals to discuss matters, Guangluxun Camp and the Five Northern Army Clans, and the cavalry general Zhang Yang's troops followed the north to hunt.
The right general Dong Cheng was in Anyi, the left general Yang Feng was moved to Shan County, and the later general Yang Ding was moved to Puban.
The next day was the New Year, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to the first year of Jian'an. The imperial edict was issued to the world and the official of the new year to show the orthodox position of the world. Envoys were sent to sacrifice to Mount Hua and the river.
After the great court, the emperor announced that he would go north to Jinyang, sacrifice to the northern mountain, and the ministers would accompany him.
