Mayi County Tongshou.∈♀
The official position of Tongshou was a unique position during the Daye period. It was similar to a county lieutenant, but higher than a county lieutenant.
This was obviously an emergency official position established specifically to eliminate banditry after the world became chaotic. At its peak, its power was even greater than that of a prefect of a county, and was similar to that of a military governor.
Zhang Xutuo, Wang Shichong, Yang Yichen, and Guo Xuan, who died in the battle, all had such official titles. When they led troops to eliminate banditry, the power of this official title was infinitely amplified, and they could decide the promotion or demotion of local officials.
Even life and death.
Yes, once the general guard officer is established, there must be a suffix of expediency added to it. In other words, any emergency incident that is not conducive to eradicating banditry, the general guard officer has the right to make an immediate decision and deal with it.
This is obviously one of the most unique products of the chaotic times in the late Sui Dynasty. It has almost no other effect, except making the world a little more chaotic.
It can be said that such local official positions have run counter to the government military system that was established and gradually improved during the founding of the Sui Dynasty, because Tongshou officers are often no longer controlled by the Wei government, but are independent local military leaders.
Later, it gradually developed to the point where it recruited soldiers and prepared food and grass on its own, completely breaking away from the military system of the Guard.
Compared to General Heng'an, this is undoubtedly a promotion, and Dou Dan's congratulations are also justified.
If Li Po had been promoted like this at the end of last year or at the beginning of this year, the situation in Mayi would not have developed into what it is today, and the Heng'an Town Army would have had different choices as to where to go.
But now, Li Po couldn't arouse any interest in being promoted belatedly after nearly a year.
However, it is not without its benefits. With such an official position, you no longer have to worry about people like the governor of Mayi or the county lieutenant.
The autonomy of the Heng'an Town Army has been recognized to the greatest extent.
Of course, it would not be appropriate for Jinyang to stay behind and appoint Tongshou officials. If it were an edict issued by the Eastern Capital, it would be a different matter.
It's a pity that Li Po doesn't have that kind of ability...
After hearing this, Li Po's first reaction was that he thought Ma Yi was not chaotic enough. His second reaction was to try to remember what kind of official position Ma Yi Tongshou was.
This is not to blame for his ignorance. He has been in the army for a long time and has a thorough understanding of the military system of the Sui Dynasty.
But I'm still a little confused about such a new official position and vocabulary as Tongshou Guan.
Of course, by now the official and military system of the Sui Dynasty was extremely chaotic. It is not surprising that any kind of official position suddenly appeared.
What's more, if you don't know everything, ask your wife.
This time he thought wrong. In fact, he and Li Bi were not strangers to Tongshou Guan, but he couldn't say what kind of power Tongshou Guan had. Asking Li Bi was pointless. The court hurriedly said,
It is an official position created by tinkering. How clear you want the scope of rights of this official position to be, it will be difficult for the anxious ministers in the court.
And Li Po did not guess wrong. With him as the Mayi Tongshou, whose functions mostly overlapped with those of Mayi County Lieutenant, Mayi became even more chaotic and disorderly.
Moreover, to deal with banditry in Mayi County, there is no need to set up a general guard in Mayi County.
It can be seen from this matter that Jinyang's ambitions have unknowingly expanded to a certain extent.
For Li Po, the guests had bad intentions.
But for Dou Dan, there was some element of jealousy and envy in it.
The young Heng'an general in front of him has climbed to the position of general guard of a county. He holds military power and has a good reputation. In his eyes, he is a standard lucky man.
He married the daughter of Li Jing, the former Prime Minister of Mayi County, and started his career from there. His promotion rate was far behind him.
As for him, as the direct son of the Dou family, he is still married to the daughter of Tang Guogong Li Yuan. He is so far behind in official positions. If you want him to be calm, it will be really difficult for him.
Therefore, when they met, they tried it out. In addition to wanting to see who was in charge of Heng'an Town, they also wanted to humiliate the other party a little.
At this point, the characteristics of the children of a wealthy family are revealed. Family background is the first criterion for them to measure talents, and then they will talk about other things.
If you come from a poor family, it's really not easy for them to look up to you.
Fortunately, Dou Dan is not a harsh person, and his aggressiveness is far from reflecting the toughness and arrogance of the children of Guanxi clan in their dealings with others.
Li Po's response was beyond his expectation. After the uncomfortable energy, his favorable impression of this person greatly increased, because obviously, he was also an unusual person among the children of Kansai.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, among a group of hard-nosed but deep-headed Kansai kids, it's really hard to find someone who doesn't have to speak so hard.
This time, the conversation between the guests and the host became much more casual.
Dou Dan and his wife had no intention of staying in Yunnei for long.
Dou Dan came here to ask for orders to find a suitable position in the shogunate in Taiyuan. He had good friends with several of Li Yuan's sons and was the son-in-law of the Li family, so he was considered the first official sent by the Dou family to Jin.
There is not much other meaning in coming to Yunnei. He will not speculate too much about Li Yuan's intentions, nor will he be ignorant. Therefore, for him, the purpose of coming to Yunnei is very simple.
He just wanted Li Bi to return a favor to him.
Don't cause problems for Jinyang, just take over the post of Mayi Tongshou and everything will be fine.
But when I came here, I saw that there was such an interesting person. The most important thing was that he sounded like he was in a similar situation. He married a powerful wife and his words were not as boring as expected.
Besides, he is from Fufeng, Guanxi, a fellow countryman.
So Dou Danyi was so happy that he stayed in Yunnei for more than ten days, just like the two Li Shimin brothers.
Li Po had to put aside his official duties and play with the couple.
After going hunting for two days, the young boy complained to him that although the prey in Yunnei was fat and strong, the harvest was very good, but it was too cold. Li Po replied, only in such a place can we catch the best prey. If you go to Jiangnan
, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the weather is warm.
But the prey in the mountains and forests taste great, and the fur is also different from that in the north.
This is like the characters from the north and the south. The southerners are handsome and elegant, while the northerners are tough and good at fighting. No one can tell whether they are good or bad between gains and losses. But in this world, it is not easy for southerners to make a difference. We still have to look at us in the north.
The ability of a hero.
When Dou Dan heard this, he was surprised. He didn't expect this man to be so knowledgeable. He immediately asked, has Brother Xian seen people from Jiangnan?
Li Po curled his lips, "Those people talk about things in a roundabout way, but they have nothing to say to us. We are from Kansai, and we speak and do things easily."
Dou Dan laughed immediately, patted Li Po on the shoulder with a sense of superiority, and started talking. The men in Jiangnan are a bit weak and not easy to get along with, but the women in Jiangnan are different...
Well, this topic finally ended here, because the second wife of the Li family came over and immediately told Dou Xiaobailian to stop and become his wife.
Li Po also accompanied Dou Dan around Yunner City. In front of the palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the young boy looked at the demolished palace complex, as if his own home had been demolished. It was so heartbreaking that he even left a poem.
Two towers are used as memorials.
It can be seen that when it comes to cultural heritage protection, you can’t really expect soldiers to do it. You have to let these sad people do it. The role played by soldiers will always be mostly destructive.
The pretty guy lost his temper a little, but it didn't affect his fun.
At this time, Li Po finally understood that this young master was a very casual person, with certain ambitions, but not too persistent. Enjoyment was his goal in life, and he didn't care much about fighting or killing.
interest of.
In any case, this is indeed a unique person among the people Li Po has met. You will feel very comfortable if you make him a friend, but if you want to expect him to achieve anything big, it is all in vain.
More than ten days later, the pretty boy reluctantly left. Before leaving, he took Li Po's arm, his eyes were red, and he said goodbye reluctantly, as if he was sorry to see each other so late.
I can't help it. It's been several years since I got married to my wife, and this is the only time I've had such a great time.
The earnest teachings of the elders, the overt and covert fighting of the brothers, and the strong and aggressive wife all put a lot of pressure on this legitimate son of the Dou family, who was born to be noble.
Unexpectedly, in the remote Yun Nei, I can relax my feelings, laugh and curse without any fear. Even my wife seems to have become gentler in this place where the north wind is strong.
To him, this place is almost the Buddha's paradise.
Well, it's actually similar to the Li brothers and sisters. The control at home is too strict. When they go out to relax, they feel that the outside world is very beautiful and wonderful. In fact, it's just that the reins are loosened.
Dou Dan left sadly.
At this point, Li Bi's ability to make friends with her husband was simply astonishing.
You know, when she was in Zhuo County, she went through a lot of effort to invite people to do something that seemed insignificant to others.
How are you now? We have only been together for a few days. Looking at it like this, the Dou family is about to kowtow to their husband and become a brother.
Moreover, what makes Li Bi even more certain is that her husband is uniquely talented at flirting with his daughter. Look, the look in the eyes of the second wife of the Li family as she glances over... Ah, bah bah bah, do you still have Mrs. Li?
How come the daughters raised by tutors are like this?
In fact, in this regard, it is not that Li Po is very capable or smooth-tongued, but that his attitude towards women is very different from that of men these days.
This attitude of not shying away from anything and communicating on an equal footing, shown consciously or unconsciously, is the best poison for a daughter these days.
After sending Dou Dan away, the couple didn't pay much attention to the duties of Mayi County's general guardian. As the weather got colder and colder, Yunnei's affairs finally gradually became less and less, and Li Bi also began to give etiquette lessons to her husband.
Already.
There are still many shortcomings in this guy...
