"Master Li, are these one thousand people too few?"

There are tens of thousands of refugees in Liyang. If one of them is hijacked, it will not be a problem to pull out an army of more than 10,000 people. If a thousand people want to suppress Liyang, in Zhao Yue's view

, this is a difficult thing and a risky thing.

Li Xia naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Yue's words.

"Although there are many people in Liyang, they are mostly rabble. Although the thousand people sent by the commander are few, they are mostly experienced soldiers. Moreover... among the five big Saiwu Forts in Liyang, one

We are our own people to begin with. As for others, if we want to suppress them, if we have the justice of the court, it is not difficult to do so."

"I see."

Zhao Yue nodded lightly.

"However, this Liyang is a critical place. If we go down by boat, we can reach Jiankang in ten days. Yu Liang may not give such a critical place to our Tianshui Zhao family."

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on your own bed?

Earlier, Yu Liang did not allow his soldiers from the Tianshui Zhao family to enter Jiankang, which was originally intended to be on guard against the Tianshui Zhao family.

For such an important place in Liyang, Yu Liang would definitely not trust his people from the Tianshui Zhao family to control it.

"Hahaha."

Li Xia laughed disdainfully and said: "Now and then, under normal circumstances, Zhongshu Ling Yu Liang would definitely not agree, but the current situation is not optimistic. Even if Yu Liang has a grudge, he can't.

Don’t do it.”

Normally, why would Yu Liang look at his Tianshui Zhao family more?

It was not the time when soldiers were needed now that I thought of Tianshui Zhao.

"Of course... On the surface, Yu Liang will definitely not let our people control Liyang. According to the news from Zhongshu Province, Yu Liang intends to make his younger brother Yu Yi the governor of Liyang County and take charge of the military and political affairs of Liyang.

.”

Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows.

"Does this mean our Tianshui Zhao family is being used as mercenaries to increase military power for the Yu family?"

I'm afraid no one would take advantage of someone like this.

Zhao Yue always knew the temperament of his cheap dad, and he would never do anything that was not beneficial.

"Of course the commander is not that stupid."

Li Xia laughed and said: "In the near future, I'm afraid there will be an imperial edict to make you a friend of the state of Wu. At the same time, you will be appointed as the Liyang County Lieutenant to be in charge of Liyang's military affairs."

Zhao Yue understood the meaning.

"So, this is also a deal."

"Not bad." Li Xia nodded lightly and said slowly:

"According to Lang Jun's age, he was originally unable to enter the court as an official. After all, he has not yet been appointed, and he cannot go out to serve as a county captain. Even if he is just an acting county captain, to be honest, this is already beyond the limit."

certainly...

This over-the-top rule only means that it is over-the-top for Zhao Yue to take up a noble position such as Wu Guoyou's. Being the acting county lieutenant is not considered over-the-top. After all, Zhao Yue will not receive a salary.

At this point, we have to talk about the distinctive system of awarding officials in this era: the board award system.

The banquet system is a special and important official appointment system that was popular during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Under the special historical conditions of constant wars, internal and external troubles, conflicts between various separatist regimes, between the central and local governments, and between opposing regimes have become very prominent.

In order to ensure its imperial power, the central government must expand the autonomy of local towns to gain their support for the imperial power and jointly resist foreign enemies.

But at the same time, the central government must also control the extreme expansion of its power to prevent the situation from becoming too big and threatening the power of the central government. In order to increase its strength, local governments begin to strive for more power from the central government in order to maintain the importance of their existence.

sex.

Therefore, under this special historical background, the rise and fall of the banquet system also changed with the ebb and flow between centralization and local power, and had an important and far-reaching impact on the social politics of the time.

This blackboard teaching system naturally has both negative and positive effects.

There are three main positive impacts.

First, the establishment of the board-level grant system has eased the contradiction between local and central governments.

Due to the flexibility of his appointment, military efficiency during the war was improved to a certain extent.

In the era of constant wars, the central government's recognition of the legitimacy of the banquet system was, to a certain extent, a compromise with local powerful forces in order to win their support for the central government and jointly resist foreign enemies or suppress rebellions.

In foreign wars or suppressing rebellions, since they can appoint themselves at any time, the implementation of board orders effectively improves military efficiency.

In times of military crisis, the role of temporary training to meet military needs cannot be ignored.

In the war years when the military came first, the flexibility of the board appointment system allowed it to temporarily and promptly appoint officials, effectively grasping the military situation and improving military efficiency, and to a certain extent guaranteed the victory of the war.

Second, it reduces the country’s financial burden.

Banguan began to become a formal official position during the Jin Dynasty and was officially included in the country's official system. Although it became an official official of the country, those who held Banguan were not official officials of the country, so naturally they had no

Practical work.

However, because he is appreciated by the boss, he can receive the official post of director.

These board officials assume the duties of official state officials, but do not receive salary.

Therefore, for the country, its existence relatively reduces the government's financial burden.

Third, it attracts a large number of talents to the country

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many talented people may have been excluded from official careers due to family status and other reasons. The appointment of officials under the ban-gong system did not go through the election process and was mostly based on talent, so it became

It is an effective way to attract those who are talented but not moral, or those who are of low status and whose family background is not obvious but have talents and military skills.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.

The board appointment system naturally challenged the authority of the central government. From then on, those official positions that were appointed by princes, ministers and local governments and should have been appointed by the state were institutionally recognized by the central government. This also marked the weakening of central power and the expansion of local power.

.

As a result of the weakening of central power and the strengthening of local power, its emergence is also the result of the central government's compromise with the local governments.

Although its existence temporarily eased the contradiction between the two, relatively maintained the central imperial rule, and reduced the country's financial burden, its negative impact cannot be ignored.

The repeated expansion of local power will inevitably become a heavy burden for centralization and even cause political chaos.

However, for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its political structure was a balance between imperial power and aristocratic families. If you are not careful, there will be disasters. If you are drunk now, how can you worry about the floods in the future?

That's why...

The board-taught system has been continued ever since.

Zhao Yue nodded lightly.

"So, this is the future that my father bought for me with the lives of the soldiers?"

Tian Qi said angrily: "Brother Lin, what you said is right, but it's too harsh."

Li Xia shook her head gently and said with deep meaning: "Yu Yi is the county guard, you are the county captain, and your boss is the commander-in-chief, not Yu Yi, nor Zhongshu Ling."

Zhao Yue's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the meaning of Li Xia's words.

"In other words, Liyang... can we take it as our own?"
