Chapter 115 Separation of Military and Civilian Rules
The official positions of the supervisors vary, but they all have the same grade and the same military pay. Promotion to a higher grade depends entirely on individual performance. Performance will be reported by the Jin Yiwei spies and evaluated by the emperor.
Zhu Cixi and a thousand supervisors made this clear.
They were also warned that now that they have joined the military, if they engage in malpractice for personal gain, they will be subject to military law.
Everyone did not doubt the emperor's words and secretly boarded the pirate ship. If something went wrong, they might lose their lives.
As groups of veteran supervisors and thousands of households from each health center began to leave for each health center, the entire Xuan Mansion was boiling.
The military households nearby cried with joy when they heard the news, and knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
This time, Zhu Cixiang not only planned to reorganize the garrison, but also planned to turn all Datong Prefecture into a military town, and all civilian households would be classified as military households, and there would be no other craftsmen households.
Everyone can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.
The gentry landowners in the prefectures and counties of Datong also had to confiscate their fields, houses, grain, salt, and cattle, just like the thousands of households.
Those who are willing to go to the capital can come to Xuanfu to gather, and those who are unwilling to go can leave on their own. Anyway, do not stay in Datong. As for those who are unwilling to move to resist, they will be punished for colluding with traitors, and their homes will be confiscated and their families will be exterminated.
Naturally, the result was that they packed up and moved honestly, but except for a few, most of them chose to go to Shanxi.
Fearing that there would not be enough scholars, Zhu Cihong sent Wei Jin to various places in Shanxi to recruit people. Priority was given to candidates, including scholars, who were between twenty and forty years old, and received the same treatment.
This caused some candidates who had failed the examination for a long time and some scholars from poor families to drag their families and families to Datong to get a taste of being an official first.
Anyway, everyone is like this, and they can continue to take the examination for merit and fame, and they will not be despised by other literati.
Zhu Cixiang strictly restricted the power of each guard station.
For example, a hundred households are no different from ordinary military households except for executing orders from above or gathering troops to defend against foreign enemies.
When it comes to farming, you don't have any extra power. If you want other military households to help with farming, you have to hire them.
The Literary Trial Hundred Households had slightly greater powers. In addition to collecting grain every year and reporting the new population, they were also responsible for mediating conflicts between military households.
But it is limited to mediation and does not have the right to deal with anyone. If there are vicious incidents such as theft, robbery, and murder, the person can only be controlled first and reported to the Qianhu Office.
The Qianhu Office must also report to the Acropolis, and the specially set up case handling department in the Acropolis will go to investigate, and then report to the capital for a ruling. If it is the death penalty, the capital must send someone down to verify the investigation, and finally report to the capital's military judge for approval.
Yes, each Wei and Dusi will establish four sub-supervisors. The Yuma sub-supervisor is responsible for the distribution of money, food and military pay, and the ordnance sub-supervisor is responsible for managing the arsenal.
The military and political sub-supervisors here are only responsible for investigating cases, and the military and judicial sub-supervisors are responsible for judging cases. As for the heads of each guard sub-supervisor, except for the case-handling military and political sub-supervisor, who is the head catcher, the heads of the other three supervisors are also civilians.
Only one general manager will be assigned to each capital to supervise the eunuchs.
Each prison can recruit some police officers, starting from the eighth or ninth grade military attachés. Whether they want to take the imperial examination depends on their personal abilities.
Qianhu and Wei were also just empty-handed when they were in command, responsible for taking charge of the seal and supervising the implementation of the policies above.
The above personnel are all full-time military personnel, receive salary, and are bound by military law if they commit crimes.
The Xiaoqi General Banner and ordinary adult male military households are quasi-soldiers and are subject to civil law in peacetime and military law in time of war.
Minors and women are subject to civil law.
In every Baihu Fort, all men who meet the requirements must undergo intensive training for one month every year, and the Baihu, General Banner, and Xiaoqi are responsible for the training.
No beating or scolding is allowed during training, and each person can take two days off. However, those who pass the assessment will be rewarded one or two taels of silver each year.
If more than ten people in each Baihubao fail to pass the exam, all the salary of the Baihu for one year will be cancelled.
The assessment is naturally conducted by serving soldiers.
All paramilitary personnel are spearmen and sword and shield bearers, and they bring their own weapons and armor, which are also within the scope of the assessment.
If you don’t even have a spear, you don’t need to take the test, and you will definitely fail. If your long knife has too many gaps and is full of rust, you will definitely fail.
Whether or not you have armor doesn't matter much.
………
Huai'anwei.
It is located more than ninety miles west of Xuanfu, so in addition to the three guards of Xuanfu, it is the first guard to arrive among a group of veteran generals and supervisors.
Including the fifty servants brought by the commander of the Huai'an Guard, nearly a thousand people marched into the Acropolis in a mighty manner.
"Liu Tongzhi, when will the fields be divided?"
"Let's go now and divide our fields first, and then give them to the poor military households!"
"Yeah…"
A group of supervisors had just finished ransacking the commander's house and were still counting and making records, when a group of veterans and generals urged them impatiently.
"I said, why are you so anxious? Can you spare your land?"
"That's right, at least we have to wait until we finish counting the money, food, materials, livestock, weapons, etc., and then re-register the households before we can divide it, right?"
“Otherwise there are so many people and so much land, and we don’t even know how to divide them?”
All the supervisors had bad Qi, and they all despised him and were a little envious at the same time.
"Then how long do we have to wait?"
The veterans were dumbfounded when they heard it was such a trouble. They wished they could immediately divide the land and build houses to find their mothers-in-law.
"No matter what, it will take five, six, seven or eight days. It depends on the situation!"
A fellow commander waved his hand, "If this is not stable, if something goes wrong, wouldn't His Majesty settle the score with them?"
Is it possible that they will still find trouble with these big guys?
A group of veteran generals, no matter how anxious they were, could only help while continuing to wait.
Fortunately, there were so many people and they worked together, it only took a day to inventory everything and seal it in a book.
Then more than a hundred supervisors led the veterans to their Qianhu Station and Baihu Fort.
Liudong Fort is an ordinary 100-house fort under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Guard.
After more than two hundred years of development, Dingkou has reached nearly 2,000.
Early this morning, Liu Kui of the Hundred Households and everyone waited outside the fort gate to welcome him.
Seeing seven or eight people finally appear in the distance, all the military households cheered excitedly.
On the other hand, Liu Kui of the Hundred Households had a bitter look on his face, while several small flag generals frowned and sighed.
"Liu Kui, the official of the Hundred Households in Liudong Fort, pays homage to the Imperial Envoy!"
"Greetings to the Imperial Envoy!"
As Liu Kui came forward and saluted the prisoner at the front, all the military households knelt down and paid their respects.
The supervisor’s name was Huang Yuan, who was only in his twenties. Looking at this scene, he was in a very excited mood. He coughed and then said: "No need to be polite, everyone, please get up!"
"My imperial envoy is only temporary. After the land is allocated to you, it will become a trial of 100 households. From now on, everyone can just call me Mr. Huang!"
"Thank you Mr. Huang."
After the military households thanked him, they also stood up one after another, staring directly at Huang Yuan.
"Mr. Huang, this is our registered residence land, etc..."
When he arrived at the official hall, Liu Kui pointed at a large box and said.
"Isn't this probably hundreds of years old?"
Huang Yuan bent down and picked up an account book and flipped through it, only to become disgraced.
"Haha, it's been a while!" Liu Kuiqian laughed.
"Okay, just tell me how many people there are in Liudong Fort, how many acres of land there are, as well as the cattle, farm tools, food, etc. Also give a rough description."
Huang Yuan threw the booklet back into the box, knowing that these things could no longer be used, and he would probably have to make a new booklet.
"In total, there should be two thousand people, and the land is about 30,000 acres, more than half of which was cultivated by my Liu family..."
Liu Kui explained with a look of reluctance, but he didn't hide anything. Anyway, he was leaving soon.
After finishing speaking, he pulled Huang Yuan aside, took out a certain amount of gold and secretly stuffed it into his hand, and whispered: "Mr. Huang, see if you can be accommodating and let me bring some grain, salt and cattle on the road...
"
"Haha, Liu Baihu, it's not that I'm unreasonable, but do you think you can hide it from His Majesty when you drive cattle and haul grain to the Xuan Mansion?"
Huang Yuan looked at the gold in his hand and smiled.
"Will His Majesty still check them one by one then?"
"Liu Baihu, listen to me. Just bring enough salt, grain and food to Xuanfu. Don't bring more weapons except for a handful of men. Just enough mules and horses to pull the cart. Otherwise, you won't be going to the capital to enjoy the blessings. That's all.
, you can figure it out yourself!"
After Huang Yuan finished speaking, he threw the gold back to him.
With His Majesty's temper, he will definitely check everything carefully when the time comes.
Once someone is found to have hidden possessions, their home may not only be raided and killed immediately, but the supervisors and inspectors may also be implicated.
"Thank you sir for reminding me, please accept it as a thank you!"
Liu Kui was obviously not stupid. He knew that what he said was kind words, so he secretly stuffed the gold back.
"As the saying goes, no reward will be given without merit, so forget it!"
Huang Yuan wanted to accept it, but finally gave it back to him.
This guy is rough in his work. If he commits a crime in the future and is tried and confessed, the gain outweighs the loss.
There is no need to worry about a piece of gold all day long, leaving behind such a hidden danger that can threaten your life.
After pushing and shoving for a while, Liu Kui gave up when he saw that he really didn't want to accept it.
Then he held a banquet and entertained several of them, during which he also called in several maids to accompany him.
They even sent a bed warmer to each of Huang Yuan and the hundred households he took over, obviously hoping that they would take care of other members of the Liu family in the future.
"Mr. Huang, can I have it? Does this count as a violation of military law?"
Baihu was obviously a fool. He held the little maid in his arms and was reluctant to let go. However, he was a little scared and could only look at Huang Yuan and ask.
"This...I can't say for sure on this matter. Liu Baihu, where did your maids come from? They weren't snatched from military households, were they?"
Huang Yuan pondered for a moment, looked at Liu Baihu and asked, he also wanted to accept it, after all, it was inconvenient to have no one around to serve him.
"Don't worry, you two. I released all the women I robbed yesterday and compensated them with some money. The remaining ones were all bought from Yazi from Shuozhou before. They are definitely not military households and have no relatives.
Datong." Liu Kui quickly explained.
"In that case, let's accept it, but we have to buy it with money. I wonder what Liu Baihu wants? Of course, if you can take care of it in the future, we will take care of it. If you can't take care of it, there is nothing we can do."
Huang Yuan nodded and then said.
As expected of a scholar, what he does is impeccable. If he accepts something for nothing, he is suspected of taking bribes, but if he buys something, it is different.
Naturally, Liu Kui nodded quickly and said yes. Anyway, he was not short of money, so he would just buy something beautiful when he got to the capital.
Then the two of them paid a tael of silver each.
As for the small flag generals, they could only stare and drool.
"Guys, there are more than 2,000 people in Dongliu Fort. With your status, are you afraid that you can't find a woman? Not to mention getting a wife, even having two concubines in the future will not be an easy task?"
Huang Yuan and others looked like this and laughed.
Apparently he was afraid that a few people would be jealous and gossip about them.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, several people's eyes lit up.
Then the atmosphere at the wine table became even more lively.
Because of the close distance, it was not until five days later that Liu Mei took a family of more than ten people, young and old, and two servants who were willing to follow him, and drove seven or eight cars towards Xuanfu.
Huang Yuan also completed the census of the entire population and began to divide the fields.
First of all, there are hundreds of households and several small banners, and the private fields of the general banner.
One hundred households were allocated eighty acres, and several flag officials were allocated at least thirty acres and at most fifty acres. Apparently, they all had killed the enemy.
Looking at their large tracts of fertile land, several people were busy hammering wooden stakes to demarcate the boundaries. They were so busy that they wished they could drive a stake every meter, and everyone's mouths were filled with joy.
He completely forgot about his mission, which was to maintain order, help Huang Yuan, and give points to other military households.
Huang Yuan was quite at ease. He only had to stand aside and let the military households pull the rope by themselves. The rope was calculated and straightened in advance, and the three sides were exactly one acre.
After Huang Yuan divided one hundred households, there was no more division.
Because a hundred-household fort can only have 100 military households, and the extra ones will have to wait until subsequent arrangements, so those who didn't get allotment were in a hurry.
If you know the population structure of Liudongbao, you will find that 30% of the 100 households divided into fields have the surname Liu.
