Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

After all, concubines are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Princess Gaomi just doesn't walk around with others on the surface. In fact, even if she really doesn't want to walk around, she has to join this alliance.

Life is the most important thing!

Only this matter, she did not greet the princesses in advance.

Faced with Princess Xiangyang's doubts, Princess Gaomi said calmly: "The deceased husband did not have the vision of the Dou family, nor the courage of the Chai family, nor the good fortune of the Helan family. He was born with a Menglang nature, and he was not valued by Liu Bai. If he didn't even keep his father's title, we orphans and widows would have no meaning to live."

The princesses all changed face after hearing this sentence!

The faces of Princess Changsha and Princess Xiangyang were ugly.

Princess Gaomi is the fourth eldest, and apart from Princess Pingyangzhao who passed away many years ago, only two of them are older than Princess Gaomi.

Of course, the weight in the 'Princess League' is also the heaviest.

"You should at least consult with your sisters beforehand!"

Princess Changsha's tone was a little blunt.

Princess Gaomi sneered and said, "If we discuss it in advance, would you agree?"

Seeing that Princess Changsha wanted to argue, Princess Gaomi turned around slowly.

"I've already sent letters to Changle and Baling. It's all up to me if I can give Yan'er a good future. If the sisters want to stop them, they can go all over Chang'an city to spread the word!"

Chapter 1515 Implementing military tickets is not easy

Recently, some news came out from the palace, saying that His Majesty does not plan to pay the chief soldiers any more.

When they first heard it, the people in Chang'an City panicked.

Since ancient times, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty have endured hard battles. In the Guanzhong area, it may not be said that every household has soldiers, but the proportion is actually high.

On average, an ordinary Zhuangzi has a population of about a thousand, and those who can be called strong laborers have a population of at most two or three hundred.

Excluding special circumstances, there are at least 100 people who need to serve.

The government military system does not mean that all farmers are soldiers. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as all soldiers are farmers.

At least, the only child does not have to go to corvee.

If there are many brothers, only one person needs to be selected.

Since he proclaimed himself Deyi Shangshu, it was suggested that the service age should be advanced from 16 years old to [-] years old, and the general army of Datang showed an explosive growth rate.

There are not many wars, and no one cares about the occasional accidental downsizing. The old farmers in the countryside are eager to send their sons to the army to practice.

Even if you really go to war, you won't suffer.

As long as he can come back alive, even if he is missing an arm or a leg, the court will support him for a lifetime.

It would be best if he made some military exploits.

If Ce Xun's second rank is above, he can go to the local Zhechong Mansion to work as an errand, and no matter how bad it is, he can also join the city patrol department in various places, which is also a proper official.

In addition, the imperial court also stipulated the retirement age.

At first it was 61 years old, but later it was changed to 55 years old because there were too many people in the army.

It's good to be a soldier!

Being a soldier not only saves rations, but also exempts the family from some other corvee and taxes.

Besides, it is much more promising than spending a lifetime in the countryside.

The family conditions are good, if you can prepare weapons and armor in advance, you will be a soldier in the camp!

If there is such a wealthy family, it would be even more amazing if he could prepare a war horse for him!

The cavalry belongs to a full-time establishment, usually does not need to farm, and the treatment is much better than that of ordinary soldiers!

Therefore, as long as they are old enough and have good physique, serving as a soldier is the first choice!

Fubing pays attention to being a soldier in wartime and a farmer in leisure time.

Even if he is a soldier, he still stays at home for seven or eight months a year.

To put it bluntly, this is a lucrative deal!

The launch of the military ticket policy has created a conflict of interests.

The emperor wants to reclaim the military land wantonly, and I heard that he plans to hand over all the royal farmland to the soldiers for farming.

Now, how can the children who serve as soldiers have time to take care of their own farmland?

Not to mention seven or eight months a year, if you come back for two months a year, you can go to burn incense!

What should I do if the land at home is abandoned?

It wasn't just the peasant households in the countryside who were making a commotion, but more of them were the soldiers in the barracks.

The soldiers of the Twelve Guards stationed in the North Camp of Chang'an City naturally don't have to worry about this.

Who can enter the twelve guards, which family is not rich?

Only the local government soldiers need to consider these.

Huayin County, Huazhou is the closest Zhechong Mansion to Chang'an.

After Xi Junmai served as the prince Zuowei for three years, he finally became the only official position with evidence for him in history.

Captain Guo Yi!

On the surface, he is a transfer at the same level.

Some people thought that he was demoted.

After all, from the people around the prince to the leader of the local Zhechong Mansion, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss.

The veterans in the court all know that Mr. Xi's future is limitless.

After he has served as Captain Guoyi for two years, the next step to make a proper move should be General Habayashi Qianniu.

That is an official position comparable to that of the head of the nine temples and five prisons.

If he goes one step further, maybe he should become the General of the Twelve Guards

It is not difficult for the prince guard rate in his 20s, because he is a close minister of the prince, and it can be settled with a word from the prince.

What's more, the prince's guard rate can't mobilize the soldiers and horses of the East Palace at all.

Captain Guo Yi, who is in his 20s, is rare.

Just like Xue Li back then, he also served as the prince's guard first, then went to other places to train troops, and when he returned to Chang'an, he could at least be in charge of a guard.

It's a pity that Xue Li followed Liu Bai to the south of the Yangtze River, and now he only holds the rank of a fourth-rank loyal military general.

The camp of Zhechong Mansion in Huayin County, Huazhou is not in Huayin County, but at the foot of Laojun Mountain in the adjacent Shangzhou.

This Laojun Mountain is not the Laojun Mountain outside Luoyang City.

According to legend, Laojun Mountain in Shangzhou has a longer history.

Because Shangzhou was originally one of the longest-existing cities!

It can even be traced back to the Tang Yu period!

"Fan Zhi" contains: between Tang and Yu, the deed was granted to Shang, and Shun's sons were all nine, and they were also granted to Shang.

This 'Shang' is Shangluo County in Shangzhou today!

The camp of Zhechong Mansion is only three hundred miles away from Chang'an.

It is an important line of defense to defend Chang'an.

There are about 1000 or [-] people in the Zhechong Mansion in Shangfu.

Counting the auxiliary barracks, the total did not exceed two thousand.

Captain Guo Yi, Xi Jun, has a good command of the army, coupled with strong financial resources, the soldiers under his command are very loyal.

When the news of the general strategy of the two returning soldiers spread, there was a small commotion in the barracks.

As in the past, Xi Junmai led a bodyguard to patrol the camp.

In the world, there is no better military camp than Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou.

Soldiers from other places live in tents, but Shangzhou Zhechong Mansion, under the call of Guoyi Duwei Xi Junbu, wealthy households in Shangzhou city raised funds to build them a dozen rows of large tile-roofed houses at the foot of Laojun Mountain!

In the middle, there is a school military field!

More than 500 strong men are fighting on the school's military field, and the sky is dark and dusty.

"Practicing every day still has some results, and then go to the city to buy some meat."

Xi Junmai took out a piece of gold pancake from the armor and handed it to the guard behind him.

"Captain, all brothers accept your affection. We big soldiers, it is our duty to eat bran and swallow vegetables, how can we spend your salary all the time?"

Xi Junmai said with a smile: "If you don't eat well, you won't be able to increase your combat power, and I won't be able to get promoted. Now I'll give you some good food, and I will promote you by the way. The deal is very good."

The guard scratched his head foolishly, and said: "My brothers and I always feel sorry for the fact that if the captain has money, he has money, but it's not because of the strong wind. Besides, he only ate meat yesterday."

"If Lao San Fan hadn't brought the bad news from home, I wouldn't be willing to spend money!"

Xi Junmai rolled his eyes.

The people under him were loyal, so there was no trouble.

The big camps in other places may be blown up!

The personal guard scratched his head again, and said, "Captain, why do you think the imperial court needs to use military tickets? I think it's good to get paid, food, and silver. At noon, my mother wrote to ask if we will only be able to raise military tickets in the future." Tian, ​​I don’t have time to take care of the crops at home.”

Xi Junmai stuffed the golden pancake into the guard's hand.

"Go to the city to buy meat, and tell your old lady by the way, if the family can't open the pot, they all come to my house to start a gang!"

Chapter 1516 Mr. Xi bought it, should we take the credit?

The personal guards went out to buy meat, Xi Jun bought someone to inspect for a while, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he strolled back to his room.

The conditions in the camp of Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou are indeed good, but Xi Junmai's personal life is very simple.

He is not a person who likes to enjoy himself. On the contrary, he was promoted from an ordinary accompanying deputy lieutenant, and he is very aware of how hard the life of the chief soldier is.

Therefore, he used his monthly salary, plus a little share dividend from Liu's store, to improve the living standards of the big soldiers.

It's not that there are rumors outside.

He didn't take it seriously.

Go back to the room, close the door, and put the bolt on the inside again.

He took out a letter from his pocket, spread it out on the table, and smiled wryly

"Young master, you have given me the seat, and you have encountered a huge problem!"

It's not that he doesn't know the inside story of the military ticket policy, and he even knew it earlier than the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!

Who is Liu Bai?

According to his temperament, the copper pea will also drop a few drops of oil and water.

The policy of military tickets is only a prelude to the paper currency reform.

In a way, it is a helpless move.

The only function is to let the people get used to it in advance.

If it was just such a small benefit, Liu Bai would of course be very upset.

He made it clear in the letter that he wants Xi Junmai to take the opportunity to make a big contribution, and to 'go further' as a vanguard of reform!

It's a pity that Liu Bai didn't count, and he would be cut off by Wei Zheng on the way.

Still, it turned out to be okay.

At least, no cheap outsiders.

Xi Junmai looked at the letter, wondering whether he should take the credit from Zhao Pu.

"Old Zhao is not young anymore, it does seem a bit unkind for me to do this."
