Royal road

"Liu Yuan has already arrived at Zuoguo City, and he is gathering five troops." Liang Feng put down the mansion newspaper in his hand.Now that he is the prefect, he can naturally enjoy the official message delivery system.Although there have been years of wars and post roads in disrepair, the news in Bingzhou is still smooth.Especially this kind of major matter related to the safety of a state can be delivered to his desk within three or four days.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yuan's destination was Zuo Guocheng.That was the former royal court of the Huns, so his ambitions were clearly revealed.

Duan Qin frowned: "If he can come back, it must be because the King of Chengdu wanted to borrow the Huns' troops. But now that the city of Ye has been destroyed, it has become a return to the mountains. There may be 20 Huns in Bingzhou. There will be an army of one hundred thousand."

What's more, Dingkou of the Huns may not only have this number.The thought of so many humas heading south is chilling.

"Urge the remaining counties to complete the autumn harvest immediately. The farming and land reclamation are temporarily stopped, and the grain is transported to the nearest city gate. Strictly guard the city!" Liang Feng ordered.

Such a sensitive moment cannot be relaxed.

"How is General Linghu's situation?" Liang Feng asked again.

"Officers of all ranks have been selected, but it should not be a problem to defend Huguan and Baixing," Duan Qin replied.

This means that the defense of the city is still considered useful, and the rest is hard to say.

Liang Feng sighed: "It would be great if the county can also set up troops."

This was also the most troublesome thing for Liang Feng.According to the rules of the Qin and Han Dynasties, there should be county soldiers in a county. If there is something wrong with the country, the county soldiers can be dispatched to fight.However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Mu Xingbing in each state seized power, causing chaos in the world.With the lessons learned from the previous dynasty, Emperor Wu of Jin ordered the prefectures and counties to stop their troops, and ordered the county soldiers to be disarmed and returned to the fields. The military power was unified in the hands of the imperial court and the governors.Logically, this method is not wrong.In a short period of time, the population of the state capitals has been enriched, farming has resumed, and it has also allowed the newly unified Dajin to avoid local chaos.But the terrible thing is that states and counties belonging to the country can only recruit soldiers, while counties and counties belonging to private individuals can recruit soldiers.

Because the Sima family usurped power and won the world, when Sima Yan ascended the throne, he established more than [-] kings with the same surname.The eight princes who were brought up also had their own entrustments.As a result, half of the military power fell into the hands of Sima.During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out.Just because Emperor Jing intended to cut down the vassal, the kings of the Liu family rebelled.But at this moment, the person sitting on the throne of the emperor is an idiot. How can those Sima County kings who hold heavy troops in their hands give up?That's why Empress Jia usurped power and the subsequent kings fought.

Liang Feng was not able to participate in these major government affairs, but the disadvantages were right in front of him.There were no soldiers in the county, and the soldiers and horses commanded by Linghu Kuang were under Sima Teng's command, so they were not assigned to him, nor could they place men in the army.If there is chaos, and if he puts his wealth and life in the hands of others, how can Liang Feng feel at ease?

"It is impossible to set up troops in the county, but there are expedient measures." Duan Qin said, "It is better to refer to the law of auxiliary soldiers, set up official land, take in refugees to enrich the population, and then recruit troops from them. Although there is no name for farming, it is feasible. The reality of farming."

This is indeed a kind of garrison, but it is not Cao Wei's garrison method, but the military garrison of the Tang Dynasty.No one knows better than Liang Feng the source of the military system he set up.If it is said that the main soldiers are awarded land after military merits, then the auxiliary soldiers serving as reserves are formed after the Tang Dynasty's Fubing system.Farmers can farm in their leisure time and serve as soldiers in wartime. If they can bring their own weapons to participate in the battle, it will be more convenient to recruit.As long as it is carefully arranged, it should not be caught by anyone.

Slowly nodding, Liang Feng said: "It's also a way. Fortunately, General Linghu is stationed in the Shangdang, so we can be flexible."

Linghu Kuang's promotion this time was entirely thanks to Liang Feng.He is not a cunning man, and he is quite grateful.It is much more convenient to have this son sitting in the party than other people.

"General Linghu asked yesterday if he could let his youngest son enter the Chongwen Museum. Thinking about it, he wouldn't embarrass my lord." Duan Qin laughed.

This is also what he most admires about the lord.With only one school, several Cui family members were invited.These are all the proud students taught by the great Confucian Cui You, and they will not lose their color in Luoyang Taixue.I'm afraid it's a good teacher that countless poor families can't find but can't find.And such people set up a library to teach in the prefect's mansion, regardless of their status or family status, only whether they are talented or not.It has made countless officials flock to it!

Now in the county mansion, there may not be any famous and wealthy families, even those small nobles are attracted to the teachers of Chongwen Hall.Therefore, this newly established academy is divided into upper and lower parts, one is for the children of officials and eunuchs, and the other is for orphans or sons of soldiers.It can not only calm people's hearts, but also select talents to appoint talents.More importantly, without knowing it, he took all the heirs of the officials into his pocket, which is much better than enclosing other people's family members like Yan Ji.

Linghu Kuangsui came from a wealthy family, but he was also a son of a soldier.There is such a good school for the children to study, how can they easily offend the lord?

"There are still a few talents in the Chongwen Museum, and we may recruit more in the future to enrich Xiangxu."

Liang Feng actually wanted to run a primary school.However, the word "elementary school" now mostly refers to the study of exegesis and phonology, that is, the study of characters.At first, it refers to the elementary colleges established for the children of the nobles.Obviously, neither of these two meanings can be used, and "Mengxue" alone is too crude, so he chose "Chongwen" as the name of the museum.Although it is somewhat similar to the Chongwen concept of Emperor Wei Ming, the meaning is still very good.

Just started, the museum has recruited more than a dozen people.The gifted orphan and the son of a meritorious official, is taught elementary education by general lecturers, and at the same time learns arithmetic and the method of military formation, as a future grassroots official and military talent.The heirs of officials, all aged between six and ten, studied in the upper part with Liang Rong, with Cui Ji and others as teachers.

But in the final analysis, these are basic education.When the world is in chaos in the future, let's see if we can get some genuine Confucian scholars to enrich the higher education like Xiangxu.Talent is indispensable at any time, so the road to talent selection must be broadened early.

"Yi Yingzheng, is it enough to bring only these soldiers?" Zhang He asked.

"We still have to guard the village, we can't take all of them with us. Leave thirty cavalry and twenty sword shields in the mansion for a period of three months, and train new recruits as soon as possible." Yi Yan replied bluntly.

Zhang He nodded immediately.This time he went to the county with the Lord Lang, and he really made a lot of contributions.Because of this, he was exceptionally promoted to the battalion deputy and became the person in charge of the left-behind Liang mansion.

Returning to the mansion with Yiyan this time is precisely to hand over military affairs.This trilogy can be considered to be brought up by Yiyan alone, and he is the only one who is most familiar with the defense and arrangements of the mansion.As one of the first few corporal leaders, Zhang He naturally obeyed him.

"The sentry post on the mountain should be on guard, and the defense should be changed every five days. The men and horses arranged by the post station should also be replaced from time to time, so we can't slack off."

This is the most convenient way of warning before the road is repaired.It can be one day faster than the post road.It is also one of the methods used by Liangfu to guard the surrounding counties.

"There are also Wang Long and others, all of whom will be appointed in Fucheng."

Zhang He felt relieved.This is the trilogy of the Jie people in the mansion.It seems that the most valiant team is drawn into Fucheng, but in fact it is to relieve the pressure on his side.Let him, the battalion deputy from an urban household, be able to better control the left-behind trilogy, so that the two parties will not confront each other and cause problems.

"The subordinates know. A batch of recruits will definitely be trained after March." Zhang He replied seriously.

This is also the result Yiyan wants.Now the land controlled by the lord is getting bigger and bigger, and the trilogy that seemed to be enough at first is immediately stretched.Therefore, expanding the number of regular soldiers has become a top priority.

Fortunately, there is Zengyi this time, and it is imperative to further accommodate refugees.In the next step, the lord may set up another battalion near the county town, and his preparations will also be put in front.

But for Zhang He, he was quite at ease.This kid is shrewd and tactful, and he handles things safely. He is also the first person in the trilogy to take the initiative to enter the school, which shows his ambition to make progress.But after glancing at Zhang He, he changed the topic: "Your family members can also settle in the county town, and I will arrange houses for them."

Zhang He smiled: "I only have my mother and younger sister in my family. It would be the best if I could go to the county town. It's a pity that I haven't married a wife and have children, otherwise I can send my son to Chongwen Museum to study."

These words made Yiyan a little surprised: "Why don't you marry?"

In the Liang Mansion, there are quite a few euphemistic households who waited until they were in their twenties to find wives because of their poor families.But anyone who has entered the trilogy will become very popular. There are many people from all over the world seeking to marry girls, let alone Zhang He, a "talent" who climbed up from the corps leader all the way.As long as he wants to marry, I'm afraid his family will be broken down.

"Last year I was just a pawn, but this year I have become a battalion deputy. If I married at the beginning, wouldn't it be a good match? As long as I keep following the lord, sooner or later I will marry a daughter of a rich family." Zhang He answered frankly. .

These words are extremely arrogant.How can a township transcend his status and marry the daughter of a rich family?Not to mention the gentry, even the ordinary commoners, it is not something he can climb high.However, Zhang He said that he was full of confidence, as if he was sure that as long as he followed the lord, he would one day be equal to the great clan.And in such a troubled world, it is not impossible to climb up step by step with military achievements.

It was as if he had been stabbed in the chest.Yiyan was silent for a moment, then said coldly: "Then let's send the two of them to the county town."

After speaking, he strode towards the walled building on the other side.Zhang He didn't dare to stop for a while, and hurriedly followed.

"Ji En, this trip has been exhausting. Your mansion has been properly arranged, and your family members can move in at any time." Liang Feng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Da who had finally rushed back from Tongbai.

These days, he has been working endlessly on the affairs of the government, and his physical condition is really worrying.Seeing the health care doctor came, I was naturally overjoyed.What's more, this is his chief epidemic prevention expert, and then he can set up a hospital in the county town to train more talents who can master the essentials of epidemic prevention.In this way, the chances of a major epidemic in Shangdang can be greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, the lord has even arranged the residence for him. How could Jiang Da not be moved, and immediately said: "My lord, you are worried. This time I also brought three people from my tribe to Lucheng, all of whom are good hands of the Jiang family. By the way , and there is one more person who must be recommended by the lord! He is from Jurong in Danyang. The disciple of Yinxian Zheng Siyuan is proficient in alchemy and the method of nourishing one's health. If we can get his help, the lord will recover his health as soon as possible!"

Liang Feng couldn't help being a little embarrassed, it's fine to find a doctor for consultation, why did an old fairy appear as an apprentice?Could it be that Jiang Da was cheated by someone?Or do you want him to take the golden core and strengthen the foundation?Hanshi San has already caused him to suffer a lot, and the heavy metal elixir can still be avoided if it can be avoided!

However, this cannot be said directly.Liang Feng coughed: "I didn't expect Ji En to have someone who praised him so highly. I don't know how to call him?"

"His surname is Ge, his name is Hong, and his surname is Zhichuan. He is waiting outside the hall. If the lord is interested, I will invite him in immediately!" Jiang Da replied excitedly, it seemed that he really valued this person.

"This..." Liang Feng was about to say that he was not in a hurry, and that it would be okay to see you tomorrow.Suddenly startled.Wait, his name is Ge Hong?Why does this name sound so familiar?

Ge Hong...Ge Xianweng...In the blink of an eye, Liang Feng remembered something, and couldn't help but smile.Could it be that Ge Hong? !

"Hurry up, please! No, I'll welcome you out!" Where there was still any hesitation, Liang Feng stood up and pulled Jiang Da out.
