The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 252 Liu Tai, the disciplined man
After Liu Tai obtained food from Fotucheng, he returned to Yecheng to handle government affairs.

At the same time, he sent a letter urging Chu Hui to quickly arrange the affairs of Qingzhou and come to Yecheng to help him formulate new rules and regulations.

After all, although I have some ideas, if I want to implement them, I need Chu Hui to implement them according to local conditions.

In addition to Chu Hui, technical talents such as Ge Hong, Wang Rujing, and Jie Fei, as well as their wives, were all coming to Yecheng one after another.

Especially Gou Chun, who needs him to give a small shock to the local aristocratic families. He really doesn't know the importance of it. He dares to test himself. They should let them have a taste of what it means to be a lackey and a lackey.

At least before acquiring these two places in Luoyang and Chang'an.Yecheng will gradually become the seat of governance of Hebei in the future.

At the same time, he also needed to proclaim himself emperor along the way. He did not want to directly proclaim himself emperor, but instead called himself King of Han first.

When we capture Chang'an, Luoyang, or even Hanzhong and Shu in the future, we can follow the process of making three concessions and three concessions.

These things all need to wait until Chu Hui arrives and lets him, the hard-working model who has been in charge of the center, come to preside over it.

This is the respect I have for Chu Hui and the sincerity I show to others.

Needless to say, if I need to restore the military merit system, I need Chu Hui to help me and improve it to a certain extent.

At the beginning, it was just a state. For the soldiers, it was enough to have land, property and women.

But as he took over the land of Hebei, even if the soldiers originally just wanted to make a living, they might not want to push him to become the emperor.

Because they push themselves to become emperors, they can also get their own rights in the process.

Therefore, I need to create a new military merit system suitable for this era based on the military merit knighthood system, so that these guys who are already soldiers have something new to live up to.

After all, the nature of human beings is that of the Liver Emperor, but the efforts made must be shown. As long as the efforts can be quantified and the results can be predicted, it is definitely not a delusion that everyone is like a dragon.

But the problem is that the response mechanism of reality is completely unable to quantify the results of hard work.

For example, if you start a business, you will only see how much money you need to spend every day, but you will not know how much money you can earn in the future if you stick to it.

For example, if you pursue a girl, you never know how long the distance is between half and half.

And if you want to learn and master a skill, there is no detailed data to tell you how much knowledge you need to learn can be considered as mastering a skill.

All in all, just because society does not have a correct feedback mechanism to allow the liver emperors to use their heart to remove the liver, they can only formulate a corresponding system to give correct feedback to the soldiers.

It is not enough to think about these things by yourself, and Xi Jian and Wen Qiao are also very inadequate.

He can only put forward the direction himself, Zhou Zheng provides the materials, and Chu Hui refines it into rules and regulations. Maybe Chen Yuanda, a guy who understands the law, needs to join in.

All in all, this is something that cannot be done by one person alone and requires the assistance of a large number of people.

Therefore, Liu Tai had to wait for Chu Hui's arrival before many plans could be launched.

Of course, although many plans cannot be started because no one has arrived, some preliminary work can be completed first.

For example, the people of Yecheng suddenly discovered that as Liu Tai took control of Yecheng, the government began to recruit people to clean the streets of Yecheng. This was not considered a corvee, and the government provided three meals, which were hot meals.

Although it only provided three meals a day, the people in Yecheng still actively participated.

There are actually relatively few elderly people in Yecheng. Except among them, there are elderly people from wealthy families or the owners of nearby Wubao. To ordinary people, the so-called elderly people have already died in the famine when Shi Le came to Yecheng. .

Those who can survive among ordinary people are basically strong young people. It is very difficult for the elderly to survive in Yecheng in this era.

At this time, the Yecheng family also gathered again to discuss the matter. In fact, they had no intention of opposing Liu Tai.

After all, Liu Tai is too capable of fighting. After integrating Hebei, there is no force that can compete with Liu Tai.

But in their opinion, what Liu Tai did back then was too much. Liu Tai could just kill all the sons of the aristocratic family who followed Shi Le. After all, the most important thing for a so-called aristocratic family is people.

But the common people were used to kill the sons of these aristocratic families, which made it difficult for the aristocratic families to accept it.

Because in the eyes of the aristocratic families, this was an insult to the officials of the aristocratic families. It is said that scholars can be killed but not humiliated, so they wanted to show the ability of the aristocratic family at the grassroots level in front of Liu Tai.

This means that our aristocratic family cannot defeat you in a war, but to govern the world, we still need our aristocratic family's help.

Then it’s like Liu Xiu cooperates with a family, you will be your emperor, we will be our family, and we will create the future together!
Therefore, during this period, officials related to Yecheng, under the signal of the family, asked for leave one by one, and resigned.

All in all, it is to highlight the cooperation of a noble family. Even if you are the king of Qi, you will not be able to govern the world.

Liu Tai believed that if he killed the first group with a butcher knife, the remaining group would definitely be very well-behaved.

But it's not necessary!

Liu Tai began to let military history enter the grassroots level, let soldiers be assigned to fields, and he began to take the initiative to strengthen his grasp of the grassroots level.

Needless to say, just letting the common people who come out to clear the snow in winter really eat hot meals and enjoy three meals a day like the officials and minor officials is enough to win the people's trust, and all of this is for next year's big event. Prepare for the project.

After all, I had a fierce fight with Shi Le and Liu Yao this year. In addition to the soldiers who were captured by me, there were also a large number of deserters scattered throughout Beihe. Even in the south of Qingzhou and Jizhou, a large number of deserters inevitably appeared.

In fact, for the common people, the decisive battle between Liu Tai and Shi Le had little impact on their lives.

But these deserters after the defeat either went into the mountains to become bandits, or into the lake city bandits, which had the greatest impact on the people.

Therefore, in order to absorb these people, we not only need to send soldiers to clear them out, but also need a project to resettle these people in large numbers, so the Yongji Canal project has to be put on the agenda!
The aristocratic families in Yecheng never thought that they should be very important.

From the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, even when foreigners were in power, when they really needed to work, they had to support themselves and others so that various government orders could be carried out smoothly.

Even if the aliens are unreasonable and like to talk about physics, when it comes to governing a place, you need to do the work yourself.

As a result, Liu Tai was replaced. Whether he resigned or took leave, if you dared to resign, Liu Tai would let him go.

If there is a boss in the officialdom, Liu Tai's military historians will make up for it; if there is a pavilion chief in the local area, Liu Tai will dare to make up for the retired veterans.

Faced with this kind of murderous god, even the rogues under the aristocratic family would not dare to cause trouble.These retired veterans are really good at killing people, even in front of Liu Tai. The retired veterans are fine, but killing the gangsters will be in vain!

After the retired veterans arrived in the local area, they followed the same example and started walking around the streets to ask who had the strength to join the army.

As long as you join the imperial army, you will not only have women arranged by the court, but you will also get the right to develop fifty acres of corps or one hundred acres of wasteland.

Compared with what the aristocratic family promised to the local people, no matter how good the aristocratic family is, they will not cede their land to the people!

Even if some aristocratic families try to seduce them by offering to be able to read, retired veterans said that all soldiers can learn calligraphy and mathematics.

If you can choose to become a soldier, then your son can directly enter the official elementary school to study.

All in all, there is no future in being a slave to a wealthy family, but serving as a soldier for the imperial court is the only way forward.

In conjunction with the implementation of the military system and the land equalization system among retired soldiers, the benefits provided by the aristocratic families were not as great as those provided by the court. For many common people, this naturally became unsettling.

Of course, if someone in the family dared to kill the retired soldiers with thunderous means at this time, the local people would be afraid that they would immediately fall back into the arms of the family. After all, the prestige accumulated by the family in the local area was not just for viewing.

But the problem is that the aristocratic family knows how to behave. They know that Liu Tai is reasonable and disciplined, so they dare to put on airs for Liu Tai.

They were sure that Liu Tai would not kill them, otherwise if they were replaced by the Jie clan, they would see if the Jie clan could get used to them.

But equally, while they are protected by such rules, they are also bound by such rules.

They knew that if they broke the rules, the veterans who sent Liu Tai down would be killed.

For Liu Tai, everyone from the local wealthy family to the gangsters had to be forced into the army, and even the local ant nests had to be boiled with hot mercury.

After all, counterinsurgency never requires evidence, only an address.

Therefore, facing the combination of military history and retired soldiers, the local aristocratic families were a little helpless, because they could only come with soft skills.

Just when the aristocratic family was somewhat shaken, Wen Qiao began to visit the local aristocratic families one by one.

It means that the King of Qi is preparing to hold a military merit ceremony to reward meritorious soldiers. If you have any concubines in your family, you can bring them out to meet with the chief of the village in charge of 50 people or the centurion in charge of two villages.

Even higher up, there is the captain who is in charge of the centurions and the captain who commands the troops. Relatively speaking, the captain is already a relatively high position.

In troubled times, even if you marry a legitimate daughter from an aristocratic family, you may not be able to reach a higher level. Their status is relatively equal.

As for the school captain, it is not that the aristocratic family chooses the school captain's son-in-law, but the school captain chooses the lady of the aristocratic family.

Needless to say, although Ge Xin is generally called a general in terms of title, in fact, his position is just the Tunqi Colonel of the Tunqi Camp.

Therefore, the village chief and the centurion in Liu Tai's army went to marry a commoner girl from an aristocratic family, and they were really well matched.

These killer embryos died on the battlefield, and the concubine could only live with their children. But if she could be successfully promoted to the position of song leader, the investment would not be considered a loss for the family. If she could become a school captain, it would be It’s really a lottery ticket.

As for the titles of various generals, they are actually more of honor blessings. Except for the top few generals who are allowed to open mansions and establish government offices, other general titles are essentially more honorary than real power.

"This King of Qi is really powerful. He just slapped us, and now he's giving us Tianzao!" The head of the Zhen family couldn't help but sigh: "It's the same as when he entered Yecheng, but his methods have become more sophisticated! "

"Then let's..." When the head of the Wei family heard this, he couldn't help but say with a bit of worry.

"Just admit defeat!" The head of the Zhen family sighed, "Just keep your head down and be a good person. We are an aristocratic family. As long as we are willing to endure, we will eventually find opportunities. After all, the Liu family does not produce outstanding people from generation to generation!"

Despite his words, there were a few aristocratic families present who didn't feel a little bit awe-inspiring.

When faced with a noble family, how could a normal ruler restrain them unless they killed them? But Liu Tai just did it.

While taking advantage of the aristocratic family, he continued to suffer from the aristocratic family when encountering difficulties, and now he gave it back to Tianzao.

What can the aristocratic family do? They also want to board Liu Tai's boat now!
First they experienced the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and then they experienced the invasion of foreign races. Especially since the Jie clan came to power, except for Shi Le, who was a normal person, the other Jie clan were not human beings at all. They were a race with Cheng Yu's per capita, and they did not have Cheng Yu's IQ. .

This basically killed all the uncooperative local families, and even the whole family was made into preserved meat.

It can be said that this made the aristocratic families who had always been sheltered by the country clearly realize for the first time that the aristocratic families that they originally thought were invincible were actually so fragile when facing this kind of racial war.

After losing the protection of the Han Dynasty and experiencing the power struggle between Cao Wei and Jin Dynasty, it turned out that he was so weak.

But now, another member of the Liu family in China has fought his way through Hebei and has the qualifications to unify the world.

The aristocratic families in Hebei don't want to fight with Liu Tai. They also want to rewrite Liu Xiu's story and fall back into the arms of the Liu family.

This time I know that Mrs. Liu is well, and my family will definitely be loyal to Mrs. Liu again.

However, it was only then that the aristocratic family discovered that the rising Liu family seemed to have seen Liu Xiu suffer a loss on the road to rise, so he decisively abandoned the aristocratic family and started a new one, creating a new system on his own.

This scene made the family members feel heartbroken. Even if our ancestors did all the bad things and betrayed the Han Dynasty, we all want to be loyal ministers!
We also want to respond to the prophecy of the Golden Sword and become ministers of the dragon. At most, we want to have a little more power.

But your support for the Liu family has not changed since you killed Shi Le and Liu Yao.

It's a pity that the bitter fruit brewed by the aristocratic family has been retribution on the descendants. Just a slight temptation reduced Liu Tai's service from being a minister of the dragon to having to deal with his commanders or centurions. .

But what can the family do? The family also understands that Liu Tai has given face to himself and others by giving him this opportunity.

If you don't even throw out a concubine, there is no need to say anything, your family will be waiting to be confiscated and exterminated by Liu Tai!

In fact, Liu Tai was not as cruel as these aristocratic families thought. Wen Qiao nodded with satisfaction when he gave him the daughter of the aristocratic family who was willing to join the blind date list.

Then he turned to Gou Chun, who had already arrived in Yecheng, and said: "Any aristocratic family that has daughters from aristocratic families join is a good family that can unite. It doesn't matter if there are no daughters in the remaining aristocratic families, but they must have daughters from common people who do not join." Yes, let me check the details carefully, we follow the rules, don’t break them!”

"No!" Gou Chun heard Liu Tai's order and replied decisively, "I will definitely popularize the king's rules with these unruly families!"
