Chapter V Accounts

The Xiyang Prince's Mansion Dongfang Shogunate resident Li Gang is investigating the Xiyang Prince's Mansion. Because there is a guard, the guards need to be equipped with armor and weapons, they have to be collected from the military weapon supervision, so he is related accounts. ω』ω』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』』�

'm

In this world, it is common for aristocratic families to raise private soldiers. Not to mention the officials from other places who go to work as prefectures and counties, they all carry a group of troops, even in the mansions in the capital, thousands of armed guards are commonplace.

The courts of various dynasties explicitly said that they would restrict private soldiers from the tribe, but in fact it was difficult to do it, because all the powerful and powerful raised private soldiers, so how dare the emperor offend the public?

Not to mention that most powerful people in the Zhou State started with military merits, often brought their troops to fight to kill the enemy, and sent their troops to the states and counties to defend themselves. Ren Man returned to Beijing and his troops naturally followed him, so why not keep private soldiers on weekdays?

With private soldiers in the army, we naturally need to be equipped with armor and weapons, which involves iron tools. Of course, the court is very strict about privately building weapons and armor, but in fact it is also turning a blind eye.

Li Gang knew this, but he felt that as the chief of the royal palace, he had the responsibility to correct the words and deeds of the vassal kings. Since the court had a system, he had to let King Yuwen of Xiyang carry out the execution.

The guards of the Xiyang Palace have 1,000 posts, so the armor and weapons must be configured according to the number of 1,000 people. If there are too many, it is not suitable for less. These equipment must be supervised by military weapons, and the transaction accounts must be clear.

Li Gang went through the armor, the sword, the shield, the spear, the feather, the arrow bow, the clothing, the flag, the drum, the horn, etc., and the accounts were clear now, and there was no need to worry about the unclear number.

He had sent officials to check the accounts of the Military Equipment Supervisor before, but now he can compare them with the accounts of the Royal Palace, and at least the expenses of the Royal Palace Guards are all justified.

According to common circumstances, if you get one thousand armors on the account, you actually get more than two or three hundred, that is, you have privately equipped your own private soldiers. Everyone has tacitly understood this kind of thing, but Yuwen Wen is "honest".

It’s not enough. Li Gang had already had his own team in the warehouse before. The armor leaves were brand new and the pants were very elastic. It was indeed a new one, and the name and date of the craftsman were also used.

I randomly checked some feather arrows and bows, and they were also newly made.

Li Gang is not a nerd who is stupid in reading. He knows that even if Yuwen Wen really has more armor and weapons to expand the scale of the guard, no one will do anything to him. After all, the five thousand tiger forest troops are actually Yuwen Wen's private soldiers.

But it is too unpleasant to spread. As a vassal king, his identity is very sensitive. The aristocratic families raise private soldiers to guard the family. What do you want to do, a vassal king, secretly expand the scale of the guard team?

The Hulin Army recruited by Yuwen Wen was actually nothing strange, just like the recruitment organized by other generals, but if you want to enter and exit important roads and passes everywhere, this army cannot pass without permission, but the royal guards can do it.

The royal guards naturally followed the vassal kings, just like the accompanying servants, and the lord went wherever they went. There was no need to report to the Xia Guan Sima Mansion, and there was no need to allow the Xia Guan Sima Mansion to act.

Not only are the passes, but also the entry and exit of the capital or the action in the city will not be subject to too many restrictions on the Xia Sima Mansion.

For example, if Yuwen Wen was ordered to enter Beijing, he could lead all the guards to go north with a total of 1,000 people. He did not need to report to the Sima Mansion in Xia in advance, but if he wanted to take the Hulin Army, he could not be so casual.

When you arrive in the capital, the guards can follow Yuwen Wen directly into the city and stationed at Yuwen Wen’s bed. Even if the Hulin Army can come outside the capital, it is not that easy to enter the city.

Therefore, when it comes to the level of the vassal king, the organization of the guards is very sensitive.

Although Yuwen Wen is now a foreign official rather than a capital city, as a vassal king, he has to be careful not to leave any handles and be impeached. Li Gang initially was worried that this person would unscrupulously expand the guard and would be able to get the handle by someone with ulterior motives.

However, after verification, this person was really "honest", and Li Gang couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, he was the royal palace of King Yuwen Xian of Qi, and the caution of this King of Qi was impressive.

Yuwen Xian and his elder brother Yuwen Yong grew up together, and later assisted Yuwen Yong in killing the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, eliminated the party members of the King of Jin, and assisted Yuwen Yong in taking the imperial power back into his hands.

Yuwen Xian was a versatile man in civil and military affairs. He achieved remarkable achievements in both charging forward and governing prefectures and counties. He was only sixteen years old and guarded Shu alone, pacifying and managing in an orderly manner, and litigation was gathered without getting tired.

Later, he participated in previous battles of alignment. Although he had all the victories and defeats, he had outstanding military achievements and was called a wise king of the royal family.

However, the Tian family was ruthless, Yuwen Xian was still undermined by Yuwen Yong, who was the emperor.

He became the chief of the Heavenly Official and the Grand Tomb, and was extremely glorious, but in fact he was in a high position and light power. Without the "Five Mansions Chief of the Heavenly Official", Yu Wen Xian was actually promoted and demoted openly.

This is a helpless thing. With the lessons of King Yuwen Hu of Jin, it is natural for Yuwen Yong to beware of the royal family. However, he was both guarded and used by his younger brother Yuwen Xian, and Yuwen Xian was indeed talented, and gradually he was hard to reward his achievements.

At this point, only by keeping one's back and keeping one's back, King Yuwen Xian of Qi has always been cautious. The royal family's cost never exceeds the limit, and the number of guards is not even full. There is no problem at all inside and outside the government.

Later, Emperor Yuwen Yong wanted to appoint Yuwen Xian as the commander and lead a large army to attack the Turks. Yuwen Xian refused, because he made great contributions, he really had no rewards. Faced with Yuwen Yong's doubts, he did not give up anyway.

They have been careful to this point, but the result is still...ah.

Li Gang fell into memories, as if thinking. The officials next to him were at a loss. No one dared to say anything to interrupt Shangguan's thoughts. Liu Wenjing, a soldier in the journal room, thought for a while, pretended to accidentally knocked over the paper and pen. The sound made Li Gang come to his senses.

"Shangguan, this is the account of the royal fief and rent transfer. Please refer to Shangguan."

The official quickly brought the account forward. The chief minister was so upright that even the King of Xiyang was disappointed. They did not dare to take it lightly, because they were afraid that they would be scolded if they did not do any official duties well.

"Where is the number of households in the royal palace distributed?"

“Everything is in Xiyang County…”

Continue to check the accounts, King Yuwen of Xiyang, had a fief of 10,000 households, the same as the Duke of the State, of course, the number of Duke of the State of Zhu had not changed before.

In most cases, no matter what title the Zhou Kingdom had, it should have been a false title, that is, there was no actual fief. Yuwen Wen's fief of 10,000 households was allocated by the court.

But the situation is a bit special now, Yuwen Wen's title is between a virtual seal and a real seal.

If the real title is enfeoffment, there must be the Kingdom of Xiyang. King Yuwen of Xiyang is going to the Kingdom to be a vassal, just like the Five Kings of Teng in Zhao, Chen and Yue, but now Xiyang County is still under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou and is directly under the imperial court.

The so-called fief exists on paper. The money, grain, cloth and silk corresponding to the fief are allocated by the court. Now Yuwen can directly take it from the rent and transfer of Xiyang County, Huangzhou, and save the court's troubles of allocating.

Therefore, for the situation of the Xiyang King's situation where the real and false seals are between real and false seals, it is very necessary to check the accounts of fiefs, so as not to take the opportunity to occupy the people's rent and transfer. It is said that it is 10,000 households, but the actual rent and transfer collected is far from this.

Now the number of households in Huangzhou has exceeded 40,000, which can afford the fief of King Yuwen Wen of Xiyang. However, if Yuwen Wen does something wrong, it will ruin his reputation. Therefore, Li Gang must check the accounts and correct the problems in a timely manner once they occur.

However, in detail, there was no problem. In recent years, the fief income of the royal palace (public government) was equivalent to that of the fief at that time.

After putting down the file, Li Gang fell into deep thought. Yu Wen Wen's performance was normal in the accounts. He paid attention to the ink marks of the accounts over the years. The new and old were different depending on the years, which means that it was not a newly written content.

Either, it’s really okay over the years, or, it’s been making fake accounts over the years, which one would it be?

However, accounts can indeed be faked. Li Gang has seen various means, even if it is a moji, it can be used to make old things with purpose.
