After two consecutive days of court discussions, Liu Fu, who had never advocated peace talks, no longer objected, and Jiang Wanzai acquiesced in the results of the court discussions. The Queen Mother ordered a conference and a mission to contact Mongolia, and she was willing to pay thirty
Long live coins, he proclaimed himself a minister to the Yuan Dynasty and served him as his son and nephew. At the same time, he decreed that King Wei be granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, the government was established with the same three rites, and he was given 200,000 guan in money and thirty horses forged.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the purpose of conferring the title of King of Wei at this time is to force him to escape Mongolia, which is a matter of narrow escape, and his return to the country is far away. Everyone feels that there is no need to burn the cold stove, so those who come to congratulate are perfunctory.
They all had a cup of tea and said goodbye one after another. However, the people in the mansion thought it was a big event, and everyone was very excited. They all knew that their honor and disgrace rested on the prince, and only when he became rich could they take advantage of him. At this moment, Zhao
But Bing wished he could slap his two big ears. Only then did he realize that he was busy opening the house and was wasting his time.
It turns out that both royal families and ordinary families have to separate their families when their children grow up, and the prince's branch is called "chuge". The emperor of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the prince's leaving the cabinet, and the emperor needed to formally issue an edict and hold a ceremony to inform the world.
To show that the prince has grown up. After the prince leaves the cabinet, he can participate in the emperor's court meetings with the ministers of the foreign court. He has to go to the foreign court, open a palace, purchase subordinates, and leave the foreign court. But Zhao Bing caught up with the time when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.
There was an accident. It was supposed that on the eve of leaving Lin'an, the Queen Mother Xie's imperial edict was equivalent to giving the two kings the treatment of leaving the cabinet and opening a mansion. However, he was half jealous and foolishly tried his best to think about opening an independent mansion, and finally understood.
He found out that his "nonsense" did not cause the courtiers to impeach him.
What makes Zhao Bing even more depressed is that according to regulations, when a prince leaves the cabinet, he must select courtiers to "perform the position of guidance." When he evacuated Lin'an, it was understandable that he hurriedly evacuated Lin'an and was preoccupied with escaping and did not choose subordinate officials for himself. But now, not only has he not been granted
Even though he has the title of Grand Marshal of the World's Armed Forces, he still has not dispatched subordinate officers. As a result, the existence of his royal palace is more nominal than substantial, and it is purely preparation for the pledge. But he does not want to waste this opportunity, and is happy to pretend to be confused.
He doesn't care what others think. ? The skeleton of the mansion has already been set up. It's just a name change. Now he only needs to act step by step according to the plan. He knows that this can boost the morale of everyone in the mansion, dispel their remaining concerns, and eliminate the outside world.
The impact of 'rumors'.
The Xianwei Prince's Palace underwent a major change of clothes, which had been planned for a long time. Zhao Bing knew that no matter what organization it was, uniform clothing could best give people a sense of collective honor and belonging. It was just because of the processing methods in this era.
It was completely done by hand. Making more than 5,000 sets of clothes was a huge project for the limited manpower of the palace, so it was delayed until this time.
The clothing of the whole government is mainly divided into two parts, one is the military uniform, and the other is the clothing of the staff and civilian staff. The civilian staff involves the General Bureau, the Medicine Bureau, and the Council Bureau. Their clothes adopt traditional Confucian clothes, which is not a big deal.
The number of changes was relatively small and easy to solve. Needless to say, the guards and guards wore military uniforms, and the craftsmanship bureau also adopted semi-military management. Zhao Bing considered the simplicity of production, so he did not divide it further, and all were uniform.
Wearing military uniform.
There are two sets of military uniforms for each person, with a blue and white tone. The top is a jacket with linen outside and silk inside. The style is a short jacket with arrow sleeves on the right side, a wide leather belt with copper buttons at the waist, wide trousers on the bottom, leggings on the calves, and leggings on the feet.
Cowhide-soled matted short boots or straw sandals. Wearing a red or blue scarf. Of course, Zhao Bing, who was responsible for the design and styling, also made some changes in other small details. He added two lower pockets to the top and added
A badge and armband, and each person also has two pairs of socks and two pairs of underwear, a six-foot-long and two-foot-wide felt and a thin blanket as bedding, in addition to a water bottle and a backpack for storing miscellaneous items.
As for why such nondescript military uniforms were made, Zhao Bing also had difficulties, because most of the fabric used to make the clothing came from the merchant ship that was requisitioned by Zhuang Shilin, and the material was mainly blue and white, so the color of the clothing was determined.
The fabric was tight, so I changed the long shirt into a short shirt, and the remaining materials were not wasted. Large pieces were used to make clothes for the children in the old camp, and small pieces were used for the elbows and knees that are prone to wear and tear.
All of them were strengthened with patches. Considering that the sailors walked less often and their boots were omitted, the ones they were given were replaced with straw sandals.
As for armor, although Zhao Bing 'cheated' some from Zhang Shijie, the quantity was far from enough, and there was no armor at all. He only had the equipment for the navy soldiers and infantry spearmen, sword and shield soldiers. As for the equipment,
There are no rowers, helmsmen, etc. on the ship, nor second-line personnel such as crossbowmen in the infantry. Zhao Bing in the Guards thought that their main task was to protect themselves, and there were not many opportunities to go into battle, so he originally wanted to save it, but everyone felt that
The guards were the face of the palace, so this was too embarrassing, so they were given half-breastplates, otherwise the guards would have to go into battle shirtless.
The clothes of the lieutenant generals and soldiers of the Song Army were different, mainly for the convenience of distinction. However, Zhao Bing was poor now and could not make other clothes for them. But he had limited options, so he thought of badges. The badges of senior officers in the government.
The background color of the flag is red, while the mid-level officers are blue, and the flags and soldiers are black. Of course, each person's name, position and unit number are written on them. In order to distinguish the military services, the navy's turban is used
Blue, the infantry is red, the craftsmen are black, and the guards are yellow (light yellow is the royal color in the Song Dynasty, other yellows can be used). The armbands are the symbols to distinguish the arms.
Explain what you do in the military.
In fact, this is all caused by lack of money. Zhao Bing also wants everyone to dress handsomely and equip them with the best armor, but he has more than enough ambition and lack of strength. Now he is still secretly rejoicing that he is fortunate to be in the south.
A jacket can barely cope with the not too cold winter in the past, otherwise a silk jacket for each person will make him grow gray hair. And he is also uneasy about the simple military uniform, worried that everyone will have opinions and turn a good thing into a bad thing.
bad thing.
But to Zhao Bing's surprise, everyone was quite satisfied. They thought that although the top was a bit shorter, the lack of long dragging lapels reduced the fetters and made movements more flexible. They especially appreciated the two pockets on the clothes.
Plus, it can hold a lot of things, and you no longer have to carry your belongings in your arms and sleeves. And the badges and armbands can make people know at a glance what unit they belong to, their rank and what they do. This makes many
Soldiers with low education are very welcome. They are not very literate and can easily understand and recognize the symbols painted on it.
Regarding this result, Zhao Bing analyzed that the senior managers are all aware of the financial situation of the government, and they have tried their best to provide everyone with such clothes, so they understand the prince's actions very well. And these officials did not say anything.
The lower-ranking officers and soldiers below saw that everyone was assigned the same things, so they naturally had no complaints. The team from Xiangyong would not say anything. They had never had any precedent for clothing before, so they regarded this as an unexpected surprise, even if
Some criticisms and complaints were quickly drowned out by praise.
Although everyone in the mansion is happy, Zhao Bing still dare not take it lightly. He knows that everything seems to be normal in the mansion now, and all tasks are being carried out in an orderly manner, but there are also hidden worries, which is the issue of salary.
The Song Dynasty implemented a recruitment system, which means that joining the army is a profession where you accept employment from the government and earn money to support your family, rather than performing military service to fulfill your obligations. Of course, the government has to pay soldiers wages. Now, although everyone is voluntary
If he stayed in the mansion, he would only be in charge of the food, but Zhao Bing knew that in an era when the tradition and system of "officials depend on salary and soldiers depend on pay" had been formed, the harmony in the mansion would not last long, and there was always the possibility of mutiny or being co-opted by others.
There is a possibility that if something changes, if you don't do it right, you will have to risk your life.
Zhao Bing has not mentioned the salary issue for some time. Firstly, because there are too many places to spend money and the money on hand is limited, he dare not mention the matter. Otherwise, it is better not to talk about it if it cannot be done; secondly,
He also wanted to see what the people who had taken refuge in him thought, whether they would stop working without money, which was also a test. But it was different now. In order to recruit talents, the government spent a lot of money poaching people.
, everyone is doing the same thing, and some people are getting high salaries, but they are just looking after themselves. Naturally, the mind will be unbalanced, and in the long run, it is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction.
Zhao Bing has a deep understanding of this. Wasn't it because he was greedy for the high salary offered by that company that he was willing to go to such a remote place to realize his self-worth? He also experienced technicians and even workers several times because of
The wave of resignations caused by salary issues also witnessed the tragic situation when the company ran out of funds and could not pay wages. He was always vigilant about this. Now that the money to open the government has been allocated, he
The matter of payment was immediately put on the agenda.
Of course, with Zhao Bing's character, he would not act rashly. He also needed to do some research, so as not to do the bad thing of stretching his legs first when his pants were torn, which would waste the little credit he had finally accumulated. To this end, he first collected information about the salary of the Song Dynasty.
system information in order to have a better understanding and formulate the royal palace’s salary system accordingly.
It is said that the military salary system of the Song Dynasty was not complicated, including salary, position money and various gifts, rewards and subsidies. The salary was based on the rank of the official, including material money, monthly rations, spring and winter clothes, and the salary was based on the actual duty of dispatch.
Receive monthly money, grain, gifts, rewards and other related subsidies. Some are fixed, some are irregular, and are not quantitative, but they are all given according to rank or military rank.
But Zhao Bing was defeated after only two days of thinking. He could no longer study and his brain became a pile of mush. In his previous life, it was said that the official system of the Song Dynasty was the most complex and chaotic. It was indeed well-deserved.
He couldn't understand it at all with solid basic skills in history. If he wanted to understand it thoroughly, he would have to find a teacher to study it, but he didn't have the time, and this was the basis for salary, which made him feel dizzy for a while.
After all, Zhao Bing had been an executive in his previous life. He calmed down and thought about it. Compared with the modern salary system, the salary system in the Song Dynasty was not just job salary plus position salary as the basic salary, supplemented by skills and performance pay, plus
Bonuses, as well as subsidies such as travel expenses, clothing expenses, travel expenses, and food subsidies, are just more abundant than in modern times. But now the government implements a supply system, and if there is any shortage of food, food, housing, etc., then it can be done between the two
