Chapter six hundred and thirty third: the army
Many people came out of the Shence Army's big tent, but now there are many military personnel, but there are many civil servants and minor officials.
Obviously, the military officers who asked for battle had given up treatment. Look at this attitude, His Highness the King of Wei did not give them a chance to make meritorious service at all.
In fact, they were ready to fight for a while, screaming every day, but after so long, they gradually stopped making trouble and did whatever they should do.
As a result, Qin Shaoyou became much more purified, but there were many contact personnel in Shence Mansion and the Five Military Mansions who were now wandering in this tent every day.
Qin Shaoyou's mind was all focused on the canal. In addition, it was the integration of the seven southern towns. It has been so long since time passed, and now everything is on track, but there are still troubles.
For example, Xuzhou caused a disagreement between local officials two days ago, and this kind of thing is very common. Most of the officials originally appointed by the Wei family governor had disputes and conflicts with officials dispatched by the Five Military Offices. Often at this time, Qin Shaoyou would not get angry. If this kind of thing is not available, it would be strange. The two sides had disagreements in their ideas and even the interests represented were different. If there was no conflict, it would only mean that the officials appointed by the Five Military Offices were in vain.
However, the method of handling is simple. Qin Shaoyou sent a letter directly to Wei Chenliang. You can handle this matter yourself. Don’t say that I don’t give you face. In fact, I still respect you as the governor.
The ball hit Wei Chenliang. However, Wei Chenliang knew that his current situation was certainly not angry or protected his son. His identity was originally very embarrassing. Faced with the test of His Highness King of Wei, he must be careful and careful. So he personally sacked and removed the officials who had conflicts with the Five Military Palaces. Of course, Wei Chenliang did this offensive thing himself. It was more appropriate.
At this time, the people who were laid off should of course not be allowed to go aside directly. These officials. After all, after operating locally for a long time, you will be directly rushing people. Although Wei Chenliang is ordered, once these people are in the wild, if they are fanning the flames behind their backs, it may not be a good thing. At this time, the Five Military Mansions came forward and transferred them to other towns to get a free errand.
Although this running-in process is a little longer, it also has its advantages, that is, stability.
Nowadays, almost all the officials in charge of the seven towns, prefectures and counties have been replaced by officials from the Five Military Palace. This is by no means a change of soup or medicine, but has essentially changed the ecology of the Seven Towns. These officials who have been in the Five Military Palace have always been reformists, and naturally they have a way of doing things, such as encouraging industry and commerce, and never playing quiet and inactive in their work. For example, they care more about the construction of projects. In short, they are not like officials, but more like merchants.
The essence of the farming officials and the business officials is that the farming officials make a living by looking at the weather. Because their political achievements mainly depend on the quality of the harvest. God will give them food. If they encounter a good harvest, they will naturally come with political achievements. But if the luck is not good, they will have to provide relief to the people. They don’t need to ask too much, at most, they will just deal with some litigation disputes. But the business officials are different. Their political achievements come from merchants. That is to say, whether they can be promoted or whether they have political achievements depends on the praise of the people. Who will give them the praise of the praise of the merchants? Naturally, if you do a bad job and harm their interests, they can make a fuss to impeach you. Therefore, their essence is to serve merchants in everything.
Merchants need transportation if they want to do business. Large-scale transportation is dependent on roads and docks. Therefore, if they want to serve merchants, they have to grit their teeth to repair bridges and pave roads and build docks everywhere. Merchants need more people to hire them to work. So since they want to make these old men feel comfortable, they have to bite the bullet and try their best to drive the young and strong into the city. As for the tenants or slaves bound by wealthy families, they will of course be severely cracked down on them. Compete with the merchants and men. You are tired of living. Who are you fighting with you?
The increasing population in the city has led to deterioration of public security. If there are no peace in the local area, there will always be many thieves. If it is a farmer, just take care of one acre and three-point land. As for the thieves with the shearing path, they will not worry too much. However, officials who want to serve merchants are different. If there are too many thieves, who dares to do business? Therefore, they will definitely be severely cracked down on them. They are incompatible with these thieves. They must organize professional police officers and dispatch them everywhere, and they must kill them all.
These officials who have been in the Five Military Palace for a long time have completely changed their minds. If the officials before were playing the same trick of being quiet and inactive, they were obviously taking on everything, taking care of everything and interfering with everything. These people are like Qin Shaoyou's minions, invading all aspects of a state and a county.
The changes in the government, coupled with the construction of canals and roads, and the influx of merchants will naturally change the form of society. Everyone will inevitably be in this form of society, and no one can be spared.
But... Qin Shaoyou still needs time.
So sometimes, he looked at Hangu Pass in the distance from the distance. Hangu Pass was still towering into the clouds. There were always some secret spies coming out of Hangu Pass. They would shoot out some secret letters with bows and arrows when it was late at night. The next day, people would naturally pick them up in the name of getting water.
Fifty thousand sets of cold-proof clothes have indeed had a great effect. Now, the defenders in the pass are increasingly talking about the benefits of Qin Shaoyou.
In their minds, it seemed that everything about the Wei army was beautiful. The slogans that yelled early in the morning, the sound of artillery that was no longer terrible, the fragrance of flesh in the air, and the loud singing at night.
Their impression of Qin Shaoyou does not seem to be bad. Some military officers and soldiers are even spreading various rumors in private, and even some Kanto lives are constantly brewing and exaggerating among them.
What are the Kanto people eating three meals a day, what are the Kanto women wearing silk, and what are the Kanto people using porcelain bowls for meals.
Obviously... they don't know that Kanto people also have rich and poor lives, and their lives are good and bad, but they always seem to talk about these topics and enjoy them.
Wei Xuanzhen has already aroused everyone's anger, not worrying about lack of worries but inequality, which is almost the biggest weakness in people's hearts. When the cold-proof items are sent, they must be distributed, and once they are distributed, some people will get it. But some people cannot get it, and people who cannot get it feel resentful, especially in this cold and snowy day, when they wear thin winter clothes to guard the passes and corner buildings everywhere, their anger will increase day by day. When someone develops cold diseases due to the cold winter, and becomes blind, the robes around him will become even more angry. When those wearing thick leather jackets appear in the eyes of others, this anger and injustice will burn like a big fire, so that no snow water can be extinguished.
Wei Xuanzhen is in trouble.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't see the defenders wearing thin winter clothes on the city wall, but he could almost imagine how these people stomped their feet and sniffed in this cold and cold weather.
Every time heavy snow comes, Wei Xuanzhen's female relatives will be greeted many times.
When Qin Shaoyou thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh foolishly. However... obviously he was not in a hurry to enter the territory. He still needed time and time to slowly brew it. Just as he had already sowed the seeds, he had to wait patiently for the flowering and fruiting.
During this period, Qin Shaoyou's most leisurely day. In the past, he always kept working hard, as if he had endless work to do, but now, he suddenly felt relieved and suddenly realized that he was at a loss, as if he was really doing nothing.
Sometimes he simply took his people to hunt in the nearby snow forest, and sometimes he lies in a comfortable tent, looking at some of the story books and novels sent from Luoyang.
Luoyang has long entered the era of citizens. More and more people have begun to read and write, and more and more people have become a middle class in some form. The biggest sign of these people is that although they are not rich and noble, they no longer worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition, they have some spare money and have begun to pay attention to some spiritual enjoyment. Naturally... They are not children of the gentry, so they cannot afford to play such elegant things. Therefore, some operas and novel stories have become popular. It is precisely because the demand has begun to grow that more and more people have devoted themselves to these industries that are exclusively for people to enjoy.
What Ye Chunqiu read these days is a newly popular book "The Romance of the Concubine" that may not be exciting, but it can also pass some boring time. The most important thing is that Ye Chunqiu can pretend to be reading a book.
In a blink of an eye, the spring has begun in Hangu Pass.
The severe cold was finally over. Although the defenders in Hangu Pass had already breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was even worse. In the beginning of spring, everything revived and epidemics began to spread. In the Wei army, in order to prevent epidemics, special officers followed the army had already formulated many measures, such as providing hot water for the soldiers to clean, such as cooking more anti-epidemic soup, each battalion must be equipped with several doctors. Once there is a situation, they must be treated immediately. As for herbs, there is a sufficient supply.
But there seems to be another problem in Hangu Pass.
Worry.
Qin Shaoyou finally became busy. He was worried about the defenders in Hangu Pass. Epidemics had begun to prevail in Hangu Pass. In fact, this is the norm. The army in this era is generally the case, because the level of hindering the disease is relatively low. More importantly, the supplies are insufficient to replenish troops, and there are very few doctors required. To be honest, those who can cure diseases in this era are scholars. If they have never read books, what should they talk about? But the problem is that those who can generally read books are not prominent families. Of course, this kind of person cannot condescend to be doctors for others. In Guanzhong, doctors are rare, and there are only a few doctors, which is also very bad. If you expect them to cure diseases, it would be better to believe that the witch doctors will become masters.
The situation in Kanto is obviously much better, which is due to the improvement of life and the promotion of education. The most important thing is that Taiping Academy has almost a specialized Taiping Medical College. There are as many as thousands of doctors trained from there every year, and almost 30% of them are directly conquered into the army, so that there are many doctors in the army, and the doctors who follow the army have almost become standard equipment. The Guanzhong Army, which does not meet these conditions, is in their current situation.
Qin Shaoyou has organized an emergency assistance team composed of more than 300 doctors and sent envoys to the pass, so he naturally expressed his willingness to provide doctors to avoid a large-scale epidemic in Hangu Pass, where the disease is rampant.
He was not worried about Wei Xuanzhen's refusal. If he refused, it would be like he was exorcist from his own soldiers. You do not have the ability to treat your subordinates, and you are not allowed to rescue others. This account is not counted on your head, and everyone knows that Qin Shaoyou did not use any tricks to send a cold-proof object to prevent the disease. Then this time he sent the doctor, he must have been kind-hearted and would never put a deception.
Therefore, Wei Xuanzhen had no choice at all, because now his image is too bad, and the soldiers who have already made a lot of complaints. If something happens again, God knows when a mutiny will occur.
In the end... Wei Xuanzhen agreed to the doctors to enter the pass, because to some extent, the doctors are the ones that everyone likes, and saving lives and helping the wounded is what everyone needs.
These three hundred doctors actually did not bring any missions, and Qin Shaoyou didn't even intend to instill anything with them and let them spy on the situation. However, when Qin Shaoyou sent them into the pass, he understood that these people would inevitably become the propaganda team of the Shence Army, and naturally become the "companies" in the minds of all defenders. Even their influence and status in the pass would be higher than that of the military officers.
No matter what... it seems that Qin Shaoyou did another good deed, and it seems appropriate to use it on him.
Spring...is the time for sowing.
But I don’t know when I will get it.
In Qin Shaoyou's opinion, this war seems a bit strange, but it doesn't matter. Just continue the life. Isn't the situation improving every day?
