Chapter 834 Talent
"This... I'm afraid I'll lose the heart of a scholar!"
Du Longzi was startled again, muttering to himself.
This is a very real problem.
In fact, if there is no need to downgrade officials, who will manage and collect taxes?
If you can't quickly integrate the resources of Jiangzhou Prefecture, how can you take advantage of the time to attack from all directions and expand the territory?
Once the rapid development is not possible, given the embarrassing position of Jiangzhou Prefecture, when the court reacts, it will be immediately besieged from all sides, which is terrible.
"Furthermore... where do you get the rations and salaries?"
Du Longzi asked again.
"There are some stocks in the treasury, and then kill some fat pigs... Oh, no, it's a big family, isn't it all there?"
Aaron laughed.
"This is the style of the refugee army. Without a foundation, it is difficult to gather the king's spirit!" Du Longzi shook his head repeatedly.
"It doesn't matter whether it's indiscriminate or not, it's all about the refugee army, so we need to find an excuse to kill openly... For example, those who have blood debts, and those who have secretly communicated with the false!"
Aaron stretched his waist and looked around: "But you are right. Although I plan to transfer Daotong to the sixth room as an intern, it won't work if no one takes the lead at the beginning. Let's go to the talent market to see!"
"Talent Market?"
"It's prison!"
...
The government prison.
As soon as he entered the prison, he could smell the stench, which made Du Longzi frown.
And at the gate of the prison, there are Liujia Shenbing guarding.
"Since ancient times, the rebellion has broken the county government and released prisoners, creating chaos...in fact, they deserve to die!"
Aaron laughed: "There are unjust cases in the prison, but there are even more scumbags. Wouldn't it be a disaster if they were really let go?"
I added in my heart: 'It's better to use it to refine Liujia Shenbing! '
But without saying anything at this time, he came to the cell and sat down on a wooden bench.
Trembling, the jailer arranged a plate of cold pork head meat, a jug of wine, and a pile of broad beans: "Two... Daoist... please!"
"Well, bring the prisoner files."
Aaron lit the oil lamp, and said to Du Longzi: "As long as there are grievances, there are actually flaws in this file...and... prison chief, you actually know who is innocent best in your heart, right? If you don't want to die, just tell the truth."
"Yes!" The prison chief was in his forties, with a greasy face: "What does the Taoist want to ask? The little one knows everything and can say everything."
"In your prison, can you detain scholars? No one above a scholar."
When Aaron asked, Du Longzi understood immediately.
Scholars and juren cherish fame and fame, and are often unwilling to join thieves, but criminal literati are often the first to be willing. Many of these are "military advisers" among rebels in history!
The jailer smiled wryly: "You are really a scholar, but you can't fall to this level... But there are really a few who can read and write."
"Who is the one who suffers the most and hates the most?"
The jailer thought for a while, and replied: "Cao Man, this man was born as a child, but later he was spotted by the big family "Wang Family" in the family's ancestral tomb - a fortune teller has seen it, and said that the ancestral tomb can emit green smoke, and the descendants of the lord will be rich. Dagui, then he got into an argument with the population for no reason, was broken in his leg, and couldn't take the exam for a scholar... Over time, the family fell into ruin. The 'Wang family' bought his ancestral grave by force, dug out all his ancestors and threw them into mass graves, and changed Become your own Feng Shui..."
"Then, a few months ago, for some reason, I was involved in another lawsuit and was sent to prison. The Wang family used money to make him die in prison. Our facao was greedy for oil and water, and we were going to continue to squeeze it out, so we lived till now."
"This lawsuit must be brought by the Wang family." Du Longzi sneered: "Either don't do it, or do it absolutely. Now that we have robbed the ancestral tomb and formed a death feud, are we still waiting for him to make a fortune? You have to kill him to be at ease!"
"Who said it wasn't?" the prison chief lamented.
"Go and bring Cao Man here."
Aaron snapped his fingers and ordered.
Several defected jailers passed by, and immediately dragged over one person, who was almost out of shape.
Prison in ancient times was not a good place to go, especially for female prisons. Unless special care was taken, their innocence would be lost after entering.
The men's prison is also not much better, this kind of doomed to die, has only half a breath left.
"I'm going to call the doctor right now."
Seeing this scene, the cell leader couldn't help but sweat dripped from his forehead.
"No need!"
Aaron took out a pear and a jujube, and asked the jailer to feed Cao Man to swallow.
It's strange to say that originally Cao Man had only one breath left, but after eating Jiaoli jujube, he suddenly became agitated, opened his eyes, and stood up by himself: "This...I..."
"Cao Man, I won't go around in circles. We are traitors. We saved you just to invite you to join us... If you agree, I will send you a team on the spot to destroy the Wang family. confiscated."
Aaron spoke.
When Cao Man heard the Wang family, his eyes narrowed, and he looked around again. Without hesitation, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "As long as the Wang family can be destroyed, Cao Man's life will be sold to the Taoist priest in the future."
"Very good, let's go!"
Aaron waved his hand, smiled and watched Cao Man's back leave: "Next..."
These people can be used, the key is to take care of those subordinates, and then join the Taoist... after a year or two of familiarity, the Taoist will probably be able to grow up.
"The most important thing is the big thing I want to do. The most taboo is to show the horses and horses at the beginning, and I should be paralyzed first..."
‘I can’t start by shouting that I want to kill all the landlords in the world, and then dig down the roots of the famous religion! '
‘Cleaning up the landlord class and the famous Taoist priests, hiding them in the fight for the world, each for its own master, slowly boiling the frogs in warm water...is a way! '
'The most wonderful thing is that at the beginning of my rebellion, scholars didn't bother to join, which in turn guaranteed purity. '
...
Aaron was thinking about it when he heard Du Longzi say: "Fellow Daoist, you can get a few talents with this method... But the old Taoist still said that if you don't recruit or accept traitors, how to develop rapidly, win gold and stone, and be powerful southeast?"
"This is a good strategic goal!" Aaron looked at Du Longzi with a little surprise.
In ancient times, it was normal for anti-thieves to be illiterate, or they hadn't even seen a map of the whole country.
Du Longzi is quite talented for thinking of this move.
But... just for this small goal, they have to take in the landlords and scholars, and even tolerate and even give up profits to them?
Aaron is unwilling again!
‘Sorry, my teeth are too good, I like to eat hard rice, not soft rice! '
Therefore, he said: "The right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people... Instead of thinking about Jinshi City, it is better to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and Taixue first!"
"Tai Xue?" Du Longzi asked suspiciously.
"Well, in the future, I'll just learn how to be correct!"
Aaron laughed.
...
Fucheng.
Wang family.
"The magistrate is incompetent, and the Fengxiang army has no guts!"
The Patriarch of the Wang family cursed angrily, and called the steward: "The city was destroyed too quickly, we had no time to escape... The chaos was the worst three days after the city was destroyed. "
"As long as you survive these three days, nothing major will happen!"
The Wang family is a family of Jinshi. For generations, there have been people who have won the imperial examination, and now there are still people who are officials in the court with a clean reputation.
Moreover, there is not much property in the family, and the goal is not too big.
As long as those rebels don't go crazy, they won't be in trouble with themselves.
After all, if mud legs want to sit in the world, how can they do without the help of scholars like them?
It's just that it has to be a real 'Mingzhu', and you have to visit the thatched cottage three times.
Although there is no three visits to thatched cottage in this world, there are similar sayings.
The Patriarch of the Wang Family thought to himself, and then ordered the housekeeper: "Take care of Miss Young Master, you must not go out these few days!"
At this moment, the front door was suddenly knocked open, and a group of expressionless soldiers walked in.
When those tall and burly guards saw that they were officers and soldiers, their legs became weak immediately, and they did not dare to confront the army.
After all, in the minds of ordinary people, killing people by officers and soldiers is to enforce the law of the king!
Dare to resist the king's law, it is a rebellion, and you will die!
A man in prison uniform came in, looked at the Wang family compound, and suddenly smiled: "Do you still recognize me?"
"Are you... Cao Man?"
The Patriarch of the Wang family had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Very good, it's good if you recognize it, someone... kill this family!" Cao Man's eyes were red, and he pointed at the head of the Wang family.
A Liujia Divine Soldier immediately stepped forward and drew out a long knife.
"You...what are you going to do? I'm a Juren...my elder brother is a Jinshi, and even became an Imperial Academy!"
The voice of the Patriarch of the Wang family trembled, and the blade flashed, and his head fell to the ground.
"You Dasong Jinshi, I, Daliang, don't recognize it!"
Seeing the death of his enemy, Cao Man was full of joy in his heart, and roared again: "Kill, kill, kill! Don't let anyone go!"
In the palace, shouts of killing suddenly rose into the sky, making the surrounding residents terrified...
...
the next day.
Fuya.
It has been slightly repaired here, and it can barely accommodate people.
Du Longzi walked out of the main gate, looked at the street, saw groups of Six Armored Divine Soldiers patrolling, maintaining order, suddenly a little surprised: "Huh? The army suffered a lot of losses yesterday, why are there so many people patrolling?"
"And... many people's faces are faintly familiar."
"Could it be Taoism? No... Taoism and military spirit are in conflict, it is impossible."
An absurd idea vaguely appeared in his heart, but was immediately suppressed by Du Longzi.
He grabbed one person and asked, "Where is Taoist Master Xu Lingzi?"
The soldier's expression was dull, he didn't salute, and mechanically said: "In the city... the barracks!"
This icy feeling made Du Longzi shiver involuntarily.
As if he was running away, he came to the military camp in the city, and he couldn't help being surprised again.
I saw that the huge school field was covered in darkness, and there were soldiers everywhere!
These soldiers are divided into two groups, which are quite recognizable.
Those who stand like a pine and remain silent must be the soldiers trained by Xu Lingzi!
The other group of people who got their heads together were undoubtedly the local Fengxiang Army!
"this……"
Du Longzi made a rough count and felt something was wrong.
"Even if we counted the surrendered troops before, our army was only two thousand. We broke the city yesterday and suffered heavy losses...how come there are still three thousand here?"
As for the surrendered soldiers, there were also three or four thousand, but Du Longzi didn't take them seriously.
Boom boom boom!
Aaron sat upright on the high platform and asked the soldiers next to him to beat the drums for gathering generals.
"Victory! Victory!"
All of a sudden, the Six Armored Divine Soldiers roared in unison, causing Jiang Bing's legs to tremble and his body and mind to tremble.
"Today, I will set up the Daliang military system-five people to one team, ten people to one team, five to one team, and the team is from the ninth rank!"
"Ten teams and a battalion, five hundred people, the battalion is upright and the eighth rank!"
"Five battalions and one capital, 2,500 people, all commanding and envoys are of the seventh rank!"
"Five capitals and one army, set up one general and three partial generals... the general will lead the guerrilla general, the fifth rank!"
Aaron originally wanted to make a centurion, thousand commander, ten thousand commander and the like...simple and easy, but then he realized that it was a barbarian's style, so he had to give up.
At this time, he shouted again: "Zhan Da, Hei Er, Zhang Tie, Huang Songtao, Bao Zhun, Miao Qi..."
"Meet the Taoist Lord!"
A total of six elite units came out, all saluting.
"Appoint you as battalion commanders, leading five regiments of regimental soldiers and five regiments of auxiliary soldiers. Each of you will choose one county to attack!"
Aaron said directly.
He also discovered that although these elite units have been enlightened by the spirituality of the 'tower', they still need to grow with time.
The more experience, the richer the wisdom and emotion.
For example, Zhan Da, now there is no trace of a puppet at all, just like a living person.
Although Aaron knew that, in Fang Tiandi's eyes, he was not considered a human being because he didn't provide Qi points!
This dispersal of troops is also a helpless move.
Although the prefectural city is down, the counties have not yet.
Then Aaron also wanted to see the ability of these elite units to fight independently, that's all.
Anyway, even if you die in battle, you still have to pay the tuition.
Even after the death of the elite unit, even if it is revived again, it will become an ordinary Liujia Shenbing. The previous investment will be in vain, which makes Aaron feel a little distressed.
After doing all this, Aaron rode Xiaoyu out of the barracks, and saw Dulongzi.
Du Longzi looked at Aaron and sighed inwardly: "This is no longer meddling with military power... The entire army was established and formed by Xu Lingzi alone... Since ancient times, there have been no powerful ministers. In the future, which king will Can you? '
Immediately, many worries arose about the future of this small regime.
But Aaron didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Dulongzi... let you choose a good day and auspicious day, and the ceremony of King Liang offering sacrifices to heaven and proclaiming himself king, are you ready?"
"Get ready. Three days later, when the weather is sunny and sunny, you can sacrifice to heaven."
Du Longzi replied subconsciously: "It's just a shortage of manpower..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you have an appearance, you don't need so many Confucian scholars to control the power of the ceremony."
Aaron waved his hand.
This attitude made Du Longzi smile bitterly in his heart.
Famous teachings are very powerful, but they overwhelm the Vatican and Taoists.
Although this Daoist Xu Lingzi seems to want to spread the Tao to the world, but doing so seems to be too much...
...
Taixue.
In fact, it was originally a prefectural school, and then it was occupied, cleaned up, and let a group of Taoists live in it...
After Fan Jin finished organizing the funeral for Chen Zitong, he originally thought of running away.
But silently thinking that no one can stand without faith, he still came.
At this time, when I arrived outside the government school, I saw a soldier coming over and posted a bulletin. The words on it were scribbled and the writing was weak. It seemed to be written by a child:
"Liang Guo Taixue Admissions Brochure!"
A man dressed as a scholar next to him whispered secretly: "Scholars of our generation must have integrity, how can we bend our knees and follow a thief?"
Immediately ushered in a echo.
Many of them were high-achieving students in the original government schools, but now they are kicked out, how can they look good?
Fan Jin shook his head secretly. Although Liang Jun admired enlightenment, it is hard to change the heart of a scholar. Continue reading, the more you look at it, the more you feel wrong.
"Requirements for enrollment: priority is given to those who can read a hundred characters. Tongsheng can apply, but those who have achieved academic achievements and above are not accepted! The rest don't care about household registration, even if they are prostitutes, they can also apply!"
"One year's quick success, immediately fill in as a government official. Remarks: Dayang officials can be promoted to high-ranking officials after accumulating meritorious service!"
Someone read it, looked at the scholar before, and smiled: "Ma Xiucai... No, you are no longer a scholar, but they don't want you either."
"It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman!"
Ma Xiucai's face turned red, his eyes turned white, and he almost fainted.
