Royal road

He just fell asleep at Haishi yesterday, and Duan Qin got up from the couch at dawn.Without washing up, he walked directly to the desk, lit the lamp, and started writing at the desk.

This is a habit that Duan Qin developed after he came to Liang Mansion.Before going to bed every day, summarize and sort out the work of the day, make up for omissions after getting up early, and then write down what you need today.Now that Liang Manor's affairs are complicated and manpower is extremely short, he naturally needs to form a habit so as not to miss important things by mistake.

Just as he was writing quickly, a servant woman opened the door and walked in, surprised: "Master Duan, you got up so early?"

"Go and prepare some cold food." Duan Qin ordered without looking up.

The maid was very quick to handle the matter, and after a short time, she put the breakfast on the table, turned around and tidied up the bed briskly.

Duan Qin also roughly listed the to-do items, grabbed a steamed cake, and checked the contents while eating.This is the sweet bean cake that the lord specially ordered the kitchen to prepare.It is wrapped in steamed cakes with crushed bean paste, which tastes sweet and delicious, and is extremely filling. It is best to use some before eating.

After eating two steamed cakes and checking the manuscript, he drank the tea next to him in one gulp, got up and walked to the copper basin prepared by the maid, and after carefully cleaning his face and rinsing his mouth, he sat down and let the other party comb him. hair.This woman was also sent by the lord to take care of his daily life.I have to say that with such a person, there is really no need to bother about other things.

After taking care of it properly, I looked at the clepsydra, and it was already the third quarter of Maochu.Duan Qin didn't delay any longer, and strode out the door.

Every day when you are right, it is the time when the school starts.Although there are many affairs in the mansion, he has not put this matter aside, as long as he is at home, he will go to the school to give lectures.It took half an hour before going to the study to deal with other matters.After all, this is related to the future employment plan of the Liang Mansion and cannot be ignored.

Quickly walked out of the inner courtyard, he walked towards the new school.Due to the increase in the number of people entering the school, the school has been moved from the inner courtyard to the original barracks of Buqu. It is spacious and closer to the farm, and it will not disturb the people in the mansion, so it is more suitable for lectures.

As soon as he stepped into the gate, he heard a deep shout: "Say hello to sir!"

"Morning, sir!" A large group of people shouted at once.

Duan Qin paused.The aura of this greeting almost caught up with the proofreader. If he hadn't been used to the volume of this group of rough men, he might have been scared out of his wits.

"Good morning, everyone." Duan Qin walked up to the podium, sat down in front of the desk, and glanced across the room.

I saw that there were two groups of people sitting in the audience.Half of them were children who studied calculations with Zhou Kan before, and the other half were people in the army.In addition to those who were learning to draw maps, eleven other officers were to be enrolled.However, this group of people will be divided into two groups, and only five people will come every day, and the rest will host the trilogy drills.Only Yiyan, rarely arrived.However, once in a while, the discipline of the school will be surprisingly good, and even the distraction will disappear.

Looking at Yiyan's expressionless and stern face, Duan Qin said: "Today is still learning the Thousand Character Classic, let's start with reciting. Yi Yingzheng, can you please take these people to read it?"

Yiyan frowned, but he didn't refuse, picked up the book in his hand and started to read.Sure enough, this person's knowledge was several points higher than that of everyone in the room, and he didn't read a word wrong.There are only a thousand words in the text, and it can be read smoothly in a short time.

"Good reading." Duan Qin praised, "Recitation is the foundation, and we must carefully memorize the meaning of the text. Turn to the third page, let's continue to learn from yesterday."

The books in the school are all published by the government and used by everyone.Duan Qin didn't stop and started talking.Although many of the audience are adults, their knowledge is not as good as that of Mengtong, so he doesn't pretend to be difficult, so that everyone can understand it.

However, different people react differently to knowledge.Those children who learn to count are the most serious, and the deep desire can be seen at a glance.The people in the army are not so good, those who learn to draw are fairly hardworking, but those generals are not satisfactory.But this is what it should be. As far as he knows, there are still many generals in the army who can't read, not to mention these rough men who have just escaped from the status of slaves.

However, Yiyan's performance was somewhat intriguing.In front of outsiders, he is not very hostile to himself, and he is very serious in reading, and he is really smart and eager to learn.Only occasionally, he didn't look at himself like a colleague or a teacher, but a bit of scrutiny, as if he didn't come to study, but to monitor and check himself.Duan Qin was really dumbfounded.

Half an hour passed quickly.After closing the book, Duan Qin said: "When I go back today, I have to memorize these two pages. I will check one or two tomorrow."

Everyone below reacted differently, but Yiyan obviously didn't take it to heart.Wei Wei nodded to him as a salute, then walked outside the door.Duan Qin quickly rushed up: "Yi Yingzheng, the change of the military system that was decided a few days ago has a framework. I'm going to talk to the Lord in detail. I don't know if you are free, let's go together."

This discussion is always faster than talking separately.Yiyan really stopped, and said coldly, "I'm free."

His tone is much stiffer than in school.But Duan Qin didn't care, and followed him to the main courtyard.

■

Seeing Duan Qin and Yiyan walk into the study room together, Liang Feng smiled inconveniently and said, "But the military system has been finalized?"

Let the two come together, there is nothing else to think about.

"It's exactly this matter, please read the draft." Duan Qin respectfully handed over the document made last night.This is the draft he compiled based on the discussions in the past few days, and it will be perfected one by one after the lord examines it.

Liang Feng took the scroll, read it, nodded after a while and said: "The auxiliary soldier is very good."

Unlike the original recruits who were called auxiliary soldiers, after this restructuring, one auxiliary soldier will be divided into two and the other part will be reserve recruits. As long as they get three heads, they can be promoted to regular soldiers.This requirement is much harsher than before, and it is aimed at controlling the number of soldiers.The other part was converted to Xiangbing, which was responsible for logistics, and the amount of training was much smaller than that of the reserve soldiers.In this way, when the army is dispatched, the recruitment of ordinary people can be reduced.However, the treatment of the box soldiers is much worse than that of the reserve soldiers, and they are basically militiamen.

Then looking down, Liang Feng frowned: "Should I still count as the leader when a soldier is promoted?"

"Only the first level can be used to record military exploits. If the first level is not used to record meritorious service, it will be biased." Duan Qin replied.

Yi Yan said: "During the battle, the only way to win the battle is to unite as one and advance hand in hand. If everyone only thinks about the military rewards, it will easily disturb the morale of the army."

This is also what Liang Feng is worried about. In fact, not everyone can cut off the enemy's head in a war.There are also many times when it is necessary to cover teammates or assist in attacks.If only the head count is counted, the achievements of these people will inevitably be overlooked.And there will be endless incidents of officers winning meritorious service and vying for the head of the enemy.

"Then it will be counted according to the army, according to the team." Duan Qin said, "Just like the previous two military exploits, it is a big victory when you defeat an enemy with a multiple of your own. It's just that the big victory is replaced by the first level."

Yiyan seemed to want to say something more, Liang Feng waved his hand: "It's also a way, let's try to set the rules first. As for the subdivision of military merit rewards, it's pretty good."

Before, there were only third-class meritorious service, which was calculated according to promotion, and twenty third-class military merits could be exchanged for first-class merit. Wouldn't it require twenty big victories?This is too difficult, it is better to subdivide and give more rewards.For example, family members can be exempted from military service several times, children can be enrolled in school several times, and they can be retired after ten years of military service, etc., and so on.At the same time, these military achievements are also a necessary condition for being promoted to an official position. In this way, everyone will naturally fight the enemy bravely.

"The matter of military rank can also be decided." Turning to the next page, Liang Feng said again.

When going out to battle, the status is often judged by the officers' clothes and attire.But in this way, the enemy can easily find out where to fight.Therefore, Liang Feng proposed that the grassroots officers below the team should dress as uniformly as possible, and wear a badge to indicate their identity so that their own people can recognize them clearly.In this way, in case the corporal commander or the chief officer is killed in battle, the soldiers can quickly find the superior officer and reorganize the formation.

Liang Feng originally planned to make an emblem such as epaulets, but found that it was difficult to identify after piercing armor, so he changed it to an armband, and distinguished it according to the number of stripes in later generations. Secret, it's a lot simpler.

After that, there are many miscellaneous items, which must be discussed one by one.But Duan Qin gradually discovered that Yiyan had a problem, as long as he put forward an opinion, he would immediately find loopholes and criticize him.This kid's thinking is quicker than imagined, and even he can't refute some things.Such a discussion is quite efficient, but it is really unpleasant.I don't know whether the other party is intentional or unintentional.

After finally confirming all the contents of more than a dozen items, Liang Feng put down the scroll in his hand: "In this way, the military system will be roughly settled. Afterwards, other miscellaneous affairs in the mansion will need to be adjusted again. If you can find a reliable You can also recommend two people to serve in the Liang Mansion."

"There are indeed two old friends who are very talented, let me try to win the trust." Duan Qin replied immediately.

"It's so good!" Liang Feng glanced at the clepsydra, "It's already noon, you can stay for dinner."

"Thank you, my lord." The two of them clasped their hands together.

Duan Qin still likes Liang Mansion's food very much. It is not the usual cooking method. Stir-fried vegetables are mostly used here, which tastes more fragrant and has an outstanding texture, which makes people appetite.The lord is not picky in other aspects, but he puts a lot of thought into eating this dish. Every time he eats with the lord, it is really gratifying.

Of course, it would be even better if there is no colleague opposite who occasionally throws a knife in the eye.

After a hearty meal, there are thorns on my back.After the meal was full, Duan Qincai tasted some green tea again, "If the lord does not give up, how about we talk about it? The last round was something I will never forget..."

Duan Qin is usually very self-disciplined, but he loves Go. What's more rare is that he finds that the master's chess moves are completely different from his appearance.How could Duan Qin miss such a good opponent after playing chess with those gentle and elegant scholars all the year round.So when I found an opportunity, I wanted to make an appointment.

Unexpectedly, before Liang Feng opened his mouth, Yi Yan said coldly: "Why don't I have a hand-to-hand conversation with Master Duan?"

Never expecting that Yiyan would answer, Duan Qin blinked his eyes: "Is Yi Yingzheng good at Go?"

"Boyuan was taught by me, why not give it a try?" Liang Feng replied with great interest.

Hearing this, Duan Qin also became interested: "Then let's disturb the game."

The formation was quickly set up, and the two played against each other in black and white.As soon as he got started, Duan Qin found that Yiyan's chess moves were really similar to the master's, but he didn't have the master's skills and layout.Under the frantic bombardment, how could there be room for idleness?Duan Qin was sweating profusely after a while, not as if he was playing chess, but as if he had been beaten.

In less than half a quarter, the chess board was in a mess, Duan Qin had no choice but to admit defeat: "Yi Yingzheng's chess skills are superb, and I think I am not as good as it."

Yiyan still had no expression on his face: "Where, if Master Duan wants to play chess, I will accompany you at any time."

This is really not sensitive, he loves to play chess, but not to fight, so let's talk to the lord later.After embarrassingly saying yes, Duan Qin stood up and resigned.

Yiyan also wanted to leave, but Liang Feng stopped him from behind: "Boyuan, don't you like Mr. Duan?"

Liang Feng is not blind, Yiyan's performance these past few days is obvious enough, today's chess moves are even more unreasonable, it doesn't look like playing chess, it seems like venting anger.

Yiyan immediately fell silent, and after a while he said: "Master Duan is a talented person, and he can share the Lord's worries. Why don't you like it?"

"Dislike" is written on your face.Liang Feng couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head and said: "What kind of jealousy are you? He can relieve my worries, can't you? Don't worry, no one can take your place."

Yiyan couldn't understand what Fei vinegar meant, but he could hear the second half of the sentence clearly.He also heard this from the lord, but there was a guy who was with the lord every day, who could talk to him about everything, talk and have fun, and almost fell asleep, but it made Yiyan feel extremely depressed.He has to practice himself, and he doesn't have that much time to accompany the lord!

Seeing that the boy was still silent, Liang Feng turned his head and said, "Green Bamboo, bring Lu Xingqi."

Green Bamboo went to fetch it in response, Liang Feng smiled and said to Yi Yan: "Maybe there are quite a few people who can talk with me. But there are really not many who can play Luxing with me. How about it, do you want to play the next game with me?"

Not everything can be said to others.Duan Qin is indeed good, and he has won his trust.But after all, he is a very keen ancient man who is also familiar with the rules of feudal society.If you let it go too far in front of him, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.And Yiyan is different, as a Jie person, he also does not belong to this mature society, but an ignorant outsider.So no one can let him indulge himself like Yiyan.Liang Feng will not mention this to anyone.But he never minded, let Yiyan know this.Because he knows that his trust is also extremely important to this young man of Jie people.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yiyan's expression immediately changed, as if his whole body was lit up.Although he still pursed his lips in silence, his hands moved very quickly, and he threw the Go board aside.

Liang Feng couldn't help laughing: "If you lose this time, you can no longer treat Si Ruo coldly."

"Subordinates will never lose!" Yi Yan replied immediately.

"You boy." Liang Feng snorted.

Not much to say, the two opened up again.The wooden chess pieces hit the chessboard, making a crisp sound.
