Tibet

Chapter 361 New Staff
The staff is an extremely important part of the politics of the Tang Dynasty. From the prime minister to the county magistrate, they all have their own staff, and even the emperor will use great scholars as his staff.

Li Linfu used to have more than a dozen aides at the most, but as he gradually lost power, the aides also left him one after another.

But there were still three confidants who were loyal to him and followed him all the time. After seeing the loyalty of the three, Li Linfu decided to hand over the three to his grandson Li Ye and let them continue to assist Li Ye.

A few days ago, Li Linfu had already explained to the three of them, and the next step was to meet the young master.

Needless to say, Chen Huan had already pledged his allegiance to Li Ye in Heyang County, Tongzhou, and was going to follow Li Ye to Suiye.

The second person I saw was Qiu Xuan, a poisonous scholar. Qiu Xuan was from Puzhou, Hedong. He was a student trained by the Pei family. Can cultivate mediocrity, Li Linfu was very interested in him, and made him his staff after the interview.

Qiu Xuan is good at intrigue and scheming, and his most proud work is planning the case of the prince Li Ying and the case of Wei Jian. Although these two cases were handled by Li Linfu, it was actually Qiu Xuan who conspired behind the scenes.

Li Linfu initially wanted Qiu Xuan to follow his eldest grandson Li Yu and Chen Huan to follow Li Ye, but Qiu Xuan looked down on Li Yu and thought he was not worthy of his service. Li Linfu had no choice but to let Chen Huan follow Li Yu.

Qiu Xuan had been observing Li Ye for a long time, and Li Ye's cruelty was quite to his liking, so Li Linfu asked him to follow Li Ye to Hezhong, and Qiu Xuan readily agreed.

Qiu Xuannian is about 40 years old, very thin, with a hooked nose, cold eyes, and looks like a sinister person.

In the afternoon, Li Ye came to Qiu Xuan's house. Qiu Xuan's house was located in Xuanyangfang. Li Linfu rented a small courtyard for him. Qiu Xuan's wife was his cousin. The couple had a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Qiu Liang, was 12 years old. Daughter Qiu Xiaolian is only ten years old.

Qiu Xuan invited Li Ye to come and sit down in his study. When Qiu Xuan heard that Li Ye had obtained Jingjie, he was overjoyed and said: "With Jingjie, you don't have to look at other people's faces. The emperor is greedy for pleasure and doesn't care about the distant river. From now on, the young master will be the de facto ruler of the river."

Li Ye pondered for a while and said: "Gao Lishi said it implicitly today, but I understood what he meant. The emperor may let Bian Lingcheng supervise the army at the same time as me."

Qiu Xuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Bian Lingcheng won't come, he must be sent under him, the young master bribed Bian Lingcheng with money, so that his subordinates can also get some benefits, a year later, an accident happened In an accident, Bian Lingcheng's subordinate died, and the young master continued to win over Bian Lingcheng. He usually would not send someone to stay there, but would send someone over every six months to take a look. As long as he was courteous, Bian Lingcheng would not If you are looking for trouble with the young master, in fact, I advise you to learn from Anlu Mountain."

"How did An Lushan do it?"

"An Lushan's superficial skills are very good. He must call his majesty, and he will cry bitterly at every turn, saying that everything he has is a gift from the emperor. He must not forget his roots. He must do his best to be loyal to the emperor, and then every ten days he will report to Chang'an. Xiang Xiang made a pilgrimage ceremony, and every time the emperor and the noble concubine’s birthday, he would order the city to hold a lot of prizes to celebrate. These emperors know about it, so they are very moved by his loyalty. Every time the emperor and his concubine go to Youzhou, he will be happy Eat well, drink well, entertain, and fill up with money before leaving.

His son is stationed in Chang'an, and every old man who is an important official of the court celebrates his birthday. He will come to celebrate, and then offer a big gift, so everyone in the court exaggerates An Lushan, except for Yang Guozhong, An Lushan wants to provoke Yang Guozhong and The old Xiangguo's internal strife ended up exposing himself, which is a rare failure in An Lushan. "

Li Ye said with a smile: "To learn from Anlu Mountain, you must have strong financial resources to do it!"

Qiu Xuan smiled and shook his head, "It's not like imitating him to bribe the court ministers, but imitating him to be superficial, so that even Lingcheng can explain it! Li Dudu can spread the benevolence of Tian Khan everywhere in the river countries, and the emperor heard it. These are the happiest things. Why does he want to expand the territory? Isn’t he just wanting to be the second khan of heaven and let his holy name spread thousands of miles? As long as the emperor is satisfied, Yang Guozhong, Zhang Jun and others will be ignored.”

Li Ye nodded, "Sir, take your family to Suiye!"

"Xiaozhi wants to take it, but Suiye is too far away, and I'm afraid the child won't be able to bear it on the way."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "You can take a camel, it's very comfortable, just like taking a boat. In a few days, I will take my family to my manor to have fun, take a camel to go there, and take a camel to come back. Just feel it and you'll know."

"Okay! You must take your family to experience it first."

Li Ye said goodbye and left, his wife Zhuang walked in and asked, "Husband, how is this 38-year-old?"

Qiu Xuan put a bag of money on the table, "This is five hundred Sogdian gold coins, it's his kindness. Chen Huan went to Tongzhou with the eldest son, but the eldest son didn't give him a penny. I can see a person's character, is it worth me to follow?
There is no future for following the eldest son, but it is no accident that 38 Lang was named the county king before the age of 17 and became the youngest Jiedu envoy of the Tang Dynasty.Following him, I, Qiu Xuan, will surely be able to glorify my ancestors, and my descendants will also be able to prosper for generations. "

"Husband, do we also want to go to Suiye?"

Qiu Xuan nodded, sighed and said: "I feel that the world is going to be chaotic, and I don't feel at ease if you stay in Chang'an, why not go to Suiye with the whole family, I can protect the safety of you and your child, and there is an official residence over there, all aspects The living conditions should be good.”

When Mrs. Zhuang heard that there would be a war, she was also afraid in her heart, and nodded quickly, "Then let's go to Suiye together!"

In the morning of the next day, Li Ye changed into a suit of armor and came to the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace. After waiting for a while, Xiao Hua, the servant of the Ministry of War, rode out with a few officials, and saw Li Ye at a glance. The governor has been waiting for a long time."

Li Ye smiled and said, "I've just arrived too, and I've brought weapons, so it's inconvenient to enter the imperial city!"

"Doctor Li has no entourage?"

"Originally there were a few, but it's almost Chinese New Year, so let them go home."

"I see!"

Xiao Hua looked at the sky and smiled: "Hurry up, let's go!"

All the people galloped to the Bashang military camp east of Chang'an city together.
The first batch of 1 troops to go to the river is stationed at the Xuanwu camp on the easternmost side of Bashang. These are the soldiers selected by the Ministry of War from more than [-] troops. Of course, they are not selected for elites, but for those who can go west. For soldiers, for example, brothers are both in the army, so the brother should keep the younger brother. If the father and son are both in the army, then the father should keep the son. If there is an only son in the family, the only son should stay.

In addition to selection, there are also soldiers who volunteer to guard the river.

There are many advantages to guarding in the river. First of all, the military salary is high. Usually, it is two yuan a month, but it is doubled in the river. During the guarding in the river, the land in the family can be tax-free.

The conditions were good, since it was only four years anyway, and many soldiers wanted to see the world, so in just three days, more than 1 soldiers volunteered to guard the river, so there was no need to choose.

When approaching the barracks, Li Ye thought of another question, so he asked Xiao Hua: "Like I already have a part of the army in Suiye, what should I do?"

"how many people?"

About 300 people! "

Xiao Hua smiled and said: "300 people is not a big problem, they would have given an extra [-]% of the military salary, and the Ministry of War allows them to recruit [-]% of the army for logistics, don't worry!"

"How about food and military pay?"

"The food is settled by you yourself. It's too far away. The imperial court can't deliver it. You will use other methods to compensate. The military salary is entrusted to Baoji Cabinet Factory to pay it to their families. It is obviously not worthwhile to send tens of thousands of money to the broken leaves every month." Reality."

"I understand, Suiye's army station is doing well, and it should be able to solve the food problem."
