Royal road

If you just write a thousand-character essay, I don't think it will make Duan Qin look tired and emotional.And a competent staff member would not just express his loyalty after discovering the lord's intentions.Therefore, Duan Qin has a great chance to make some plans for the current situation of the Liang Mansion.

Sure enough, Duan Qin nodded and said: "My lord has far-sightedness and foresight, which can be called complete. However, there are three things, and there are still hidden worries. One of them is military merit granting fields."

Liang Feng didn't return to the main seat, just sat down in front of Duan Qin casually, and asked: "I don't know the method of granting land, what is the problem?"

"My lord's military colony is far superior to Wei Wu's. It is comparable to the military nobility system of the Qin and Han Dynasties. The military fields belong to the sergeants, but the sergeants have to practice all day long. There are bound to be farmers who cultivate these acres. While raising the army, the military fields also support countless people. People who are twice as big as the army. At the same time, the reward for military merit is to reduce or exempt the land tax. If you want to honor the military merit, you must protect the Liang Mansion with all your strength to make it safe and prosperous. As long as this method persists, those soldiers and peasants will not betray the lord. It is a century-old foundation, and it is also the true meaning of the method of granting land by the lord."

Hearing what Duan Qin said, Liang Feng secretly sighed in his heart, this kid is really sharp.Ordinary people can only see the wastage of exempting the tax, but never thought that what he exempts is the annual land tax.Taking three years of exempting the military land from the tax, it is bound to ensure that the Liang Mansion will be safe and sound during these three years.And those soldiers who have been exempted from paying taxes for 20 years, or even for life, desperately hope that the Liang Mansion can last for a hundred years and honor their rewards.

This is to tie everyone to his chariot. The adhesion of the land far exceeds that of money and food, and it is a magic weapon that can truly make people never leave.And when a person guards his own homeland and his own interests, his will and determination to fight will be far better than those who work for others.

Seeing the expression on Liang Feng's face, Duan Qin knew he was right.After changing the subject, he continued: "However, the ranks of military merit set by the lord are too few, and there are only three levels. If the rewards are too equal, it will inevitably make people feel tired. The military merits of the Qin and Han Dynasties are all [-] ranks, so everyone in the army Be courageous, dare to be the first. If the lord wants to expand the series, it is imperative to set up more military exploits!"

"The title belongs to the imperial court, so how can I, the Marquis of Ting, get my hands on it?" Restructuring must also have status and status, otherwise wouldn't it be a flagrant rebellion?

Duan Qin laughed and said, "My lord, you have lost your mind. The root of a title is power. As long as there is a distinction between power and responsibility, why do you have to have the name of a commoner? For example, only the children of the Fuzhong Academy can enter , isn’t it a special case?”

ah!Liang Feng reacted.Yes, feudal society is a privileged society in the final analysis. The so-called title is to make people belong to the privileged class and obtain treatment and rights different from common people.For example, the right to tax exemption, such as the right to education, such as the right not to worship officials, such as the right to avoid punishment.This is the essence of the title, and it is also the true meaning of the twentieth-level military merit of the Qin and Han Dynasties.Just like the fourth class of the twentieth-class "non-renewal", it can only be exempted from military service in rotation, while the eighth-level "public vehicle" can be exempted from military service.

However, the education he received in modern society does not include this level.There will still be a privileged class in the future, but no one will not be able to receive basic education because they do not have the right, and no one will not be able to wear what color clothes, what hairstyle, what accessories to wear because they do not have status. what kind of car.This kind of clothing, food, housing, and transportation is all-encompassing and fundamentally restricts the class. It is impossible to exist in the civil rights society in the future.

What Duan Qin pointed out was precisely this point.

But is it really necessary to act in such a strictly privileged manner?Liang Feng thought for a moment, and found helplessly that he seemed unable to jump out of this circle for the time being.When a society operates in a certain way, reforms that follow the trend may work, but subversion that goes against the trend is bound to shatter.If he wanted to stabilize the Liang Mansion, he would have to make concessions to this privileged society.

"Si Ruo's words are reasonable, the military system should be changed, let me think about it carefully." Finally, Liang Feng nodded.

Duan Qin couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief seeing the lord's approval.Before, he only looked at his appearance, and he was worried that Liang Feng was a noble son of a very important family.However, after seeing all the affairs in Liang's mansion, he worried that Liang Feng was too light on etiquette and too benevolent.Just like Wang Mang who usurped the Han Dynasty, banned slave trade, equalized land, completely ignored the interests of the aristocratic and powerful families, and blindly imitated the Zhou system, which eventually led to chaos in the world.

Although, as a child of a poor family, I also hope that there will be a way to allow the poor family to enter, but the etiquette and law have their own reasons, and they should not be changed rashly.

Duan Qin couldn't help but feel refreshed when his opinion was accepted, and continued: "However, the matter of the military field should be kept secret. This matter involves a lot, and if others find out, it may be inappropriate. At the same time, the number of soldiers must be limited. Set up more auxiliary soldiers to avoid suspicion from others."

In the national dynasty, there was a rule that the marquis who founded the country could buy troops, but Liang Feng's title was the lowest among all the princes, and he did not found the country. A series of 200 people is still acceptable, but a sudden increase in the number of people is too eye-catching.At the same time, Juntian is also a waste of tax revenue. Even if there is a business to make up for the tax deficit, future financial pressure must also be considered.As long as the lord has not added a fief, these matters cannot be discussed.But on the other hand, if the lord becomes a high-ranking official and confers a household, it will be another look.

These are all good words, and what Liang Feng is doing now, how could he not agree.However, if you want to reform the military system, you can't do it overnight, and you have to be cautious.

With Liang Feng's approval, Duan Qin stopped talking and turned to the next topic: "Secondly, Taihangxing and Zheguanxing must be in the hands of the lord! Controlling these two passes is bound to be invaded by the rebels. As long as the two gates are held firmly and cannot be conquered, the rebels will find other paths. Only then can the pressure on the Liang Mansion be relieved."

Liang Feng said: "This is not a problem. General Wu who guards Liangxing has a deep connection with the Liang Mansion. Before the rebellion crossed the border, his army lost more than half. As long as he stays here, he will not be able to get rid of the Liang Mansion."

"The extermination of the Xiongnu's rebellious soldiers is indeed what the Liang family did." Duan Qin's eyes lit up, and he asked immediately.

"Two hundred episodes and annihilation of four hundred cavalry is considered a vicious battle." At this time, Liang Feng would not hide it, and described the previous battle in detail, and he also did not miss the matter of letting Wu Ling feed the refugees with military rations.

"My lord, this plan is brilliant!" Duan Qin couldn't help but clap his hands in praise after hearing Liang Feng's words.The strength of the Liang family's battle is second, and more important is the arrangement after the war.That is to say, the county magistrate of Gaodu and the gatekeeper of Taihang were pulled into a boat, and the lives of the refugees were saved with military rations.In this way, actual benefits have been obtained, two allies have been handed in, the population of Liang Mansion and even Gaodu has been enriched, and the strategic depth has been increased. It can be said that the thinking is meticulous.

"However, guarding the pass is not enough. The two Xing roads should add more passes to make them as strong as gold! It happens that there are refugees entering from Sizhou. If you ask General Wu to select a group and build a city along the road, it will be safe!" Duan Qin added. .

This is also an important way to strengthen the control of the two provinces.It is too late to open up wasteland now, and Gaodu may not accept more refugees.It's better to let Wuling conscript the refugees as servants and build Guancheng again.Anyway, the Xing Road is very narrow, and the city doesn't need to be built too big, and it doesn't need much money for food.

"You can give it a try!" Wu Ling also gained a lot of benefits in Jinyang this time. Since he was destined to guard the pass, naturally the more secure the better, it shouldn't be difficult to convince him.

"With Liangxing, we should also make friends with other counties. Only one county in the capital is not enough. Only by opening up several counties can the lord gain a foothold in the troubled times! Nowadays, most of the county magistrates are humble officials, and the lord As a subordinate of the General's Mansion, he should be able to easily achieve his wish."

This is also the benefit given by Sima Teng.Even if the enlistment is not successful, most people will acquiesce that this person is worthy of the post of enlistment.If Liang Feng didn't have the title of Marquis of Ting, others would respectfully call him "Liang Yu" at this time.What's more, he still has the status of Tinghou.Coupled with the reputation and new paper white porcelain from Jinyang, it is enough to make those poor county magistrates flock to it!

Liang Feng already understood Duan Qin's meaning: "The Party must still be based on the above."

"That's right. Although Shangdang is the place where the Fourth World War was fought, it is not easy to conquer. Even the Xiongnu cannot advance with a large army like the Qin army. What's more, Taihangxing and Zhiguanxing are in our hands. It is also impossible to reproduce the battle of Changping, but we have to worry about being attacked by the enemy. In this way, if we want to attack Yecheng and Luoyang, we have to go around other routes, and the Liang family will turn the danger into safety."

This is Duan Qin's final strategic vision.If the Xiongnu rebelled, they would first fight to the death with Sima Teng who was in Taiyuan.It is impossible for the army to suppress the border and take the Shangdang directly.And grasping the two Xing roads, there will be no situation like the battle of Changping, where the enemy is driven straight in and copied the back road.It became a way to stand in a dangerous situation and protect yourself.

Liang Feng let out a long breath: "It seems that we still have to do what Mr. Pingyuan did."

At that time, Lord Pingyuan advocated taking over the Shangdang from South Korea, which led to the siege of Qin's army, and was commented by Tai Shigong as "the profit makes the wisdom faint".Now that chaos is about to break out, he still has to stick to Shangdang and use it as his foundation.

"It's still greedy to enjoy a country and a land. How can Mr. Pingyuan compare with the lord?" Duan Qin said, "As long as we can survive the chaos, the lord will have room to enter, and then all difficulties will be solved!"

Fame, meritorious service, and strength, are you afraid that the court will not accept orders in the face of danger?He did not need to be attached to Sima Teng, but he could also grab the official position he deserved.

"Listening to Jun's words, I feel that my eyes suddenly open up." Liang Feng sighed.In the past, I was the only one who was caressing in the dark, muddled, hands tied, but now with such a reliable helper, I felt a lightness on my shoulders.

Hearing the lord's praise so highly, Duan Qin also felt comfortable all over.All these items came from his hard thinking behind closed doors for several days. This kind of talent will not be ignored, and the feeling that his hard work will not be in vain is what all insightful people dream of.

However, after a short period of excitement, Duan Qin immediately calmed down, pondered for a moment, and asked: "My lord is determined to use Jie people?"

This question came suddenly, but it was not surprising.After all, most people regard all Hus as one, whether it is Xiongnu, Qiang, Jie, or Karasuma, they are all miscellaneous Hus.And if the Xiongnu raised troops, these people should also be enemies.

Shaking his head, Liang Feng said: "Yi Yan and the others were rescued by me personally. They are loyal and brave. If they are not used, let them wander and fall into the hands of thieves, they will become a disaster instead. You are terrible because of The chieftain. If the dragons had no leader, the Hu people would be no different from the children of the Han family, just asking for food and clothing."

Staring at Liang Feng's calm and handsome face, Duan Qin secretly sighed in his heart.If you don't have full self-confidence, how can you use Hu Zhinian?Just like Jin Ri, a general under the command of Han Wu, who was also born in the Huns, was loyal to the Han court and became a Tuogu assistant minister.And Wei Wu drove the Karasuma iron cavalry like his arms and fingers.As long as it is well controlled, Huma can also be tamed into a good horse.

What's more, the lord also has the name of a Buddha.For Zhuhu who believe in Buddhism, this is a very crucial point, otherwise those Jie people would not vote for the whole village.

Thinking of this, Duan Qin nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, why doesn't my lord order these Jie people to be naturalized and make them all use Chinese surnames?"

The author has something to say: Regarding the relationship between Lord Pingyuan and the Battle of Changping, some historians believe that Lord Pingyuan was at fault.South Korea gave up Shangdang, Pingyang Jun said that it was not appropriate to accept it, but he said that he didn't want money anyway, so he naturally wanted to take it. Later, he agreed with Zhao Kuo as a general, but he was almost killed by Qin.This period of history is also the origin of the term "Like Li Ling Zhi Faint".

("Historical Records Biography of Pingyuan Jun Yuqing": "Tai Shigong said: Pingyuan Jun is a good son in a troubled world, but he has not seen the general situation. The slang saying is 'the profit makes the wisdom faint'. There are more than [-] people in Ping, and Handan is almost destroyed.")

However, some people also said that no matter whether they accept Shangdang or not, Qin State will always beat Zhao State, it's just an excuse.Mr. Pingyuan belongs to the blame party.

The words about Pingyuan Lord in these two chapters basically revolve around this allusion.

As for the Battle of Changping, it took place near Gaodu. At that time, the Qin army passed through the two routes of Taihang Xing and Zheguan Xing, and copied the back of Zhao Jun.So Shangdang is really extremely important at the military level.
