Chapter 674
It's the winter moon, and the household department begins to prepare the "waste" things.The so-called "La Ci" is the year-end award, which is said to have existed since the Han Dynasty.

The prizes are not complicated, nothing more than money, food, beef, etc.Of course, depending on the level of the official, there are different treatment.For example, the Sangong, the princes, and the five generals will send 20 yuan, 200 catties of beef, and [-] hu of japonica rice on La Ri.

In Su Yu's view, japonica rice is rice, and two hundred dendrobium is almost 2 catties.

Of course, this is only the treatment of senior officials.The Liang Dynasty was so poor, and the court couldn't take care of so many small officials.

Moreover, Cao Yuzan will also issue "wax gifts" according to the standard of Suzong of the previous dynasty after he put down the Anshi Rebellion. For example, when Suzong of Tang Dynasty rewarded Du Fu, a great poet, he gave two small boxes. A box contains emerald tubes and silver poppy.

The lip balm is lip balm and face cream, and Cuiguan Yinying is a container specially used to hold the lip balm.

This is not Cao Yuzan's nonsense, but it is recorded in the official history, and there is also a poem as proof. It is Du Fu's own "La Ri". Down to the Nine Heavens".

Is Tang Suzong so picky?Is it aimed at Du Fu?
This is really not targeting, but after the Anshi Rebellion, the national power of the Tang Dynasty declined greatly. The mouth fat noodle medicine is the standard for the year-end award, and sometimes nodding cream and bath beans are also given.

The current situation in the Liang Dynasty is not too different from that of Tang Suzong.An Shizhi fought for eight years, and Liang Chao fought against Hu for ten years. Although the war has passed for two years, they are still very poor.

Since the imperial court couldn't control so many people, the bosses of each yamen would prepare some gifts for their subordinates, and of course Su Yu would not be idle.

In the words of Lao Huang: Our young master is now a prince, who has his own faction, the King Qin faction.

This day Su Yu went to Xuanyuanguan for a meeting, and brought a lot of money and a thousand catties of beef.Fortunately, Su Yu acted quickly, otherwise the beef would not be easy to get.Of course, the regent does not need to get these things in person. There are so many officials, big and small, in the Ministry of Household Affairs, who can just beat and beat them casually.

But the money belongs to Su Yu himself.

Of course Su Yu would not be willing to pay out of his own pocket, it was just for emergency.I have an account in my heart, and when the tax reform is implemented in the future, I will definitely get doubled.At this time, An Guozheng planned to go to Chang'an with a plan.Su Yu may also go to Chang'an in the near future to participate in the tax reform and continue to improve the tax reform plan.

This tax reform is essentially a squeeze on the small and medium gentry.This is very dangerous, and if it is not done well, riots will break out.Otherwise, Tang Zhen didn't have to go to Chang'an to sit in the town himself.

"Qiu Yao, the Food Supervisor of the Fourth Division, greet Your Highness!"

"Don't be too polite, sit down."

After the meeting ended, Qiu Yao came to see Su Yu in private.

There are no decent buildings in Xuanyuan Pass, and the pass looks dilapidated. Su Yu held a meeting at the gate tower, and then received the generals alone.

The first person to meet alone was not Qiu Yao, but Zhao Feng, the supervisor of the fourth division, the grandson of the virtuous king.This young man was originally white and clean, but after a month of military life in the mountains, he looked much rougher.

Talking with him, nothing came out, and he himself was getting acquainted with the military.

Judging from his performance, he was a little bit at a loss, just like an intern who just joined the work and directly served as a high-ranking official.However, he often went back to the city to find his grandfather to learn from, and the wise and wise king probably taught him a lot.

"According to His Royal Highness's request, the humble position has deployed spy teams at all regiment levels. The next step is to deepen it, all the way to the battalion level, to ensure that all supervisors at all levels are empty, or to get all supervisors to join the spy team."

Every time Qiu Yao saw Su Yu, he would prepare a large bag of documents and show them to His Royal Highness at any time.

Su Yu flipped through the roster of special agents, nodded and said, "Very good. You have made meritorious service."

Qiu Yao, whose name is Runshan.

"Working for Your Highness, don't ask for meritorious service, just hope that His Highness will be crowned a great treasure as soon as possible!"

"You can't talk nonsense." Su Yuwei pointed out the window, Zhao Feng was sitting in the distance watching the mountain scenery: "Although the virtuous king has supported me, it does not mean that he will support me forever. Everyone said that the virtuous king is not in good health, and it may not last long, but This is not absolute. The virtuous king is not yet 70 years old, so how do you know he can’t live another ten years? Many things will happen in ten years, we should not be careless. And I have always shown that I have no enthusiasm for the throne, which is also a way to protect myself .”

"I understand." Qiu Yao said cautiously and respectfully: "Just now, I made a slip of the tongue."

For a thoughtful person like Qiu Yao, if he suddenly said what he said just now, it was not a slip of the tongue, but a temptation.He wanted to test whether Su Yu had great ambitions.But Su Yu gave him an answer full of room for fantasy.

……

The Fourth Division has a complete division headquarters, about 1000 people, and the Zhonglang General Department has 400 people, including the guards, and the civilian secretary Lang.Although Su Yu is not here usually, those people are not idle either.Su Yu came every seven days to make some work plans for them and check their work results.

Some are written, some are on-site inspections.Through these methods, we can judge each person's ability and attitude, and quickly screen out capable people, strange people, lazy people, mediocre people, bastards, and trash.

When you find capable and strange people, focus on observing them and gain a deep understanding of their personalities.And other people will not consider it anymore, unless they can have a brilliant performance and refresh Su Yu's impression of them.

So everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is also the most tiring at the beginning.But after this period of time, it will be much easier.This is also a problem that Tang Ling'er often finds out. Su Yu does a lot of things, but he is busy at the beginning, and then I don't see how busy he is.Running around all day, looking very idle.

The remaining 600 people in the division were sent to the Military Supervision Department, the Food Supervision Department, the General Staff Department, and the Deputy General Department.

In terms of rank, General Zhonglang and Supervising Army are both the third rank, while the other three officers are junior third rank, which is usually called Deputy Zhonglang General.

Who is older, the supervisor or the Zhonglang general?

This question has never been answered directly by the emperor since the establishment of the Liang Dynasty.

But the emperor didn't answer, and everyone still knew it.

First look at personal status, and second look at the backstage. If the two aspects are still indistinguishable, then it depends on the abilities of these two.

The Fourth Division has three brigades, not all of which are stationed at Xuanyuan Pass.There is another place to the west, known as "Little Xuanyuan Pass", which is also the defense area of ​​the Fourth Division.

Defending an area is not just defending a pass.Nearby trails, beacon towers, and post stations must be defended.

In the division headquarters, Zhao Feng had no sense of presence.And Zhao Feng also served as the second brigade school, and his brigade school was also in a state of being suspended.Su Yu, Qiu Yao, Shi Gandang, and Han Jian took turns going to the second brigade to toss about, making the second brigade turbulent again and again.

Especially the old soldier Youzi participated in the general Shi Gandang, his methods were endless, and he was full of bad moves.

I really don't know how Zhao Feng will reverse this situation.

Su Yu believed that King Xian was also observing him at this time, if he could turn around, it meant that this young man was worthy of training, if he couldn't, then he would be eliminated.

Su Yu felt that Zhao Feng was very unlucky, he met a very difficult opponent.

Thinking of this, Su Yu smiled brazenly, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.Some things are the result of Su Yu's hard work, but if you think about it carefully, there are still many things that are arranged by fate.That being the case, how dare you laugh at others.

……

When Su Yu returned to Luoyang, it was already time to hold the lanterns.When I get home and see the two children, I forget my fatigue.

The princess treasures her son very much, and there is no wind in confinement. Up to now, no more than two digits of people have seen Zhao Zhen.But her daughter Zhao Tangsu often carried her to the study for outsiders to see.

Su Yu walked into the princess's house, Wan Yanqing and Kong Ji stood at the door, tilting their heads to look into the room, and behind them stood a little maid, Tong Xi who had developed rapidly in the past year.Tong Xi has changed a lot. It is estimated that her parents will not recognize her now that she is home.

Not long after, Wang Xun came up with a hand stove and threw the children out.

"Since it is decided to take Fengyu as the side concubine, then Dong Dacang needs to add someone else. I think Tang Xiaofatty is an embarrassment." Tang Linger said in a low voice, afraid of waking up the child.

Su Yu smiled: "Being a side concubine, staying at home all day is boring. And Dongdacang is so close to the princess's mansion, why not let her continue to be the master."

Tang Ling'er shook her head: "I didn't treat her like a family member before, so I was too lazy to care about her. But now I can't. I care about her because of your face. The prince and side concubine often meet outsiders, so they will be laughed at .”

Although the prince's wedding to the concubine has not yet been made up, Tang Ling'er has already completed the role change, and she considers herself a concubine.As for the concubine Zheng, she has to take care of the family affairs, she is thinking for Su Yu, and she is also thinking for herself.

Just like Concubine Fan, no matter how much she hated Xiao Qiao, it was impossible for her to drive Xiao Qiao to set up a stall on the street.It wasn't Xiao Qiao who lost face, but Tang Zhen.Of course, for the sake of livelihood, there is no shame in setting up a stall.But for noble families, that is really unacceptable.

In Tang Linger's eyes, Feng Yu can meet many outsiders in Dongdacang every day, which is no different from setting up a stall.

If the side concubine at home really got involved with outside men, Tang Ling'er would feel very humiliated as the main concubine, and Tang Ling'er was a person who really wanted face.She is also one of the family prestige stick holders of the Tang family. If she can't even manage her own small family well, what right does she have to manage the whole family.

Su Yu expressed his understanding, so he nodded.

Afterwards, Su Yu went for a stroll in the small street, planning to buy some gifts for the concubine when she accepted her concubine.I saw the jewelry store selling the Laughing Buddha pendant. Although it was smaller than the golden Laughing Buddha on Tang Linger's neck, the workmanship was quite good.There were three left, and Su Yuquan bought them.
