316 High-paid soldiers (1/2)
Drastic layoffs, everyone has ‘necessary’ arrangements.
The second-generation officials didn't say anything. They collected money from others and used it to process the second level of "expulsion." More than a thousand expulsion quotas were released directly.
If peacetime were to be put aside and everyone's interests were touched, the civil and military affairs of the dynasty would be turned upside down. But at this time, the ministers were running around telling each other, and those who had no time to send gifts quickly made up for it, for fear that their son would not be the one to be expelled.
''s fate.
But the prince also spoke. There were so many people present who could not even hold up swords and guns. It would be unjustifiable if the number of people recorded in the Ministry of Personnel who would never be hired was smaller. But in addition to the second generation of officials, there are also rich people in our front department.
Second generation...
The second generation of rich people are not here to gain fame and become officials. They are here to establish revolutionary friendships with the second generation officials. Now that the revolutionary friendships are gone, why do they still have them? And for them, the future is already long gone.
It has been laid out by the parents, and they have been properly prepared to go home and inherit their gold and silver to do business, but the staff will never hire them? Is that a problem?
On the contrary, I can also sell those second-generation officials a favor: Look, it’s me who took the blame for you!
Being able to lose a reputation and affection before leaving, the rich second generation were all very happy, and simply guaranteed all the "never-hired" places, which was more than a thousand people.
Then there are the normal soldiers who have been led astray by the second-generation officials and the second-generation rich. These people are already accustomed to accompanying the second-generation people to eat, drink and have fun. Want to train them to become famous? Not that it is absolutely impossible.
, but the hard work required is more than ten times. Lin Shuhang is more willing to spend money to recruit some innocent and healthy people. Even if we don’t know anything, it will be much easier if we have a blank piece of paper and no need to make any changes.
.
Except for a few good talents that Lin Shuhang knew when he was a teacher, most of the teachers, not to mention the students, were dismissed for "promoting unhealthy tendencies" and "neglecting their duties."
Of course, these are not things that Lin Shuhang can understand by himself. Except for Lin Chong's own memory, the rest are basically based on mutual reports among colleagues. Based on the idea that he would rather kill a thousand mistakes than leave a black sheep behind,
Anyone involved in corruption, bribery, flattery of students, or anyone who violates military orders will be dismissed immediately upon investigation and verification.
In just one day, this drastic cut actually reduced the number of thousands of palace officials to only fifty or sixty people... And among these fifty or sixty people, almost half were not that good at all.
clean, but because Lin Chong understood his nature
Nature, knowing that it was just a temporary mistake, was given to the remaining instructors. After all, if you want to create a new army, low-level soldiers are easy to find, but there are not so many instructors who are good at martial arts. However, after this incident, these people accepted their feelings and worked hard.
I will be more cautious and use it as soon as possible.
In just two days, the entire front office had a completely new look. Of course, it was also terrifyingly deserted.
So in the early morning, Zhao Heng gave the order. Now there are only a few dozen people left in this palace. They almost exist in name only. There is no need to continue to exist. They are simply cut off. The name of this palace's former minister is also already there.
The people have become so filthy that it is difficult to
Therefore, Lin Chong was asked to recruit troops and reorganize the heavenly army, named Yingtian Army. The former Dianqian Division Camp was changed to Yingtian Army Camp. Lin Chong, the commander of Dianqian Division, was appointed as the commander of Yingtian Army. Everything was transferred. As for recruitment and other matters
, with Lin Chong drafting the edict and promulgating it to the world.
There was a gentle breeze in the court, and just listening to the monarch and his ministers' responses to each other, there was no need to think too much. Many things were clearly stated in three strokes, five divisions and two.
We just discussed it and said it to the court. It was just a formality in front of the officials. It made the officials seem dispensable and they had no sense of participation at all.
In addition, Lin Chong proposed to promote Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang as deputy commander of Yingtian Army to assist him in forming a new army.
Li Gang was immediately flattered. He had been waiting and watching for the past two days, but he always felt that he couldn't understand Master Lin's way. However, he did not expect that before he could figure out the answer to the mystery, the person on the other side took the initiative to reveal it first.
Taichang Shaoqing is just a casualty from the third rank, but the deputy commander of the Yingtian Army, this is a proper department of real power, and he is still from the second rank, both his official title and power have made him a big step forward. This is proper
Promote.
At this moment, all the officials came back to their senses in an instant.
Previously, Li Gang openly criticized Lin Chong in the court, but now instead of holding grudges, he promotes him.
In the court, the factional opposition has always been clear. Do you think Lin Chong is the one who is Li Gang? Do you think these two monarchs are honest and honest, and follow the advice of Ruliu?
Damn it, you should have told me earlier...Besides, you are so honest and honest, you still accept bribes from us? All the gifts from the ministers these days have been given away in vain? You only accept gifts, don't do things, and don't have the same heart as us?
Rare people?
Besides, this front step has completely vacated the front office of the palace, and the back step has begun to recruit troops...
Frankly speaking, the officials are not stupid. By now, most of them have realized that they are still falling into the trap of the Crown Prince and Lord Lin.
These two people had obviously been thinking about reintegrating the Dianqiansi from the beginning, but they were just worried that the officials would make a fuss, so they sang that song...
What happened that day, when I think about it now, the more I think about it, the more it seems like the prince and Lin Chong were playing a double act. It was just that Lin Chong voluntarily gave up the position of Taiwei and was willing to spend such a huge sum of money. In terms of the officials' thinking of "the greatest future", no one could do it.
It was difficult to think at first glance that this was just a joint effort between Lin Chong and the prince.
And it was only now that the former commander of Tengkong Hall was recruiting troops again, and the ministers had finally come to their senses from the lack of calmness in the past two days.
High, really high...
Now that things have come to this, all the officials can only smile.
They were the ones who wanted to withdraw on their own initiative, not to mention that even if they saw through the matter on the spot, given the determination of the Crown Prince and Lin Chong and the amount of money they spent, if they really wanted to go ahead, whoever went ahead would be the first to die.
If Cai's party was still there, there might be a way to deal with it. For example, Cai Jing could take the lead and select two scapegoats to take the lead, and then mobilize all officials to oppose him. In this way, even if two scapegoats died, he would still be able to win back the crown prince's idea. But
Nowadays, hundreds of officials are leaderless. There will be no such fool who is willing to take the lead and volunteer himself.
So this is a conspiracy. Even if they know the cause and effect, they have no way to deal with it. Who wants the two of them to have the final say in the court now?
The only thing I can do is to bear the loss of this mute first and remember it in my heart. Anyway, the relationship has been established. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Let's see what tricks Lin Chong's newly formed Ying Tian Army can come up with.
Unexpectedly, this trick has already appeared in the afternoon.
Several notices were posted at the gate in front of the palace, as well as at Xuande Gate, Liang Gate, Cao Gate, Jinglong Gate and Zhuque Gate, in all directions in the city and in the center.
In accordance with God's destiny, the emperor issued an edict: The world has been at peace for a long time, but evil spirits have grown, ringworm and scabies have appeared in the ribs and armpits, and demons and monsters have arisen in the palace. God has decreed that all members of the front department of the palace have been purged, and now they have been reorganized and the Yingtian Army has been recruited.
One thousand, requires good health
Master's degree, between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, a monthly salary of ten guan, and a reward of one acre of land. If there is a distinguished Gongsheng student, the salary will be doubled. I hope that the brave and wise people in the world will actively sign up to join the Wangshi
, Sweep the world for my emperor and purge Liuhe! I admire this!
This notice, almost within a short time of being posted, had already spread throughout Bianjing City and spread to the point where everyone knew it.
All the officials were stunned.
Recruiting? This is something that everyone has known for a long time, but a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan? There is even a reward of one acre of land. What does this mean?
In the Song Dynasty, the salary of civil servants was high, but it was not so high.
Normally, the monthly salary of a county magistrate is only about fifteen guan. Although there is some rice cloth subsidy, there is no division of job fields. And based on the basic expenses of an ordinary family, these 15 guan are enough to support forty or fifty people.
.
In addition, what is job land? It is fertile land that does not need to be taxed! Since the rise of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and continued in the Song Dynasty, it is called job land. It is a benefit awarded by the court to those who are officials. Most of them are rented by the officials.
Give to the poor and collect land rent.
And if you are an ordinary person, if you can get such an acre, you will have no problem supporting your family.
In other words, the income of this soldier is almost as much as that of a county magistrate! Before this, the income of a normal soldier in the front department was only the same per month, and there was no division of occupations at all. There was no gap.
More than ten times.
I've only heard of high salaries supporting honest people, but I've never heard of high salaries supporting soldiers.
With so much money, even if you use it to make a few batches of better weapons, it will still be better than giving it to these soldiers. I don’t know what you are thinking.
Forget it, anyway, the front army of the former palace was given 10,000 military pay. Now, although the monthly salary is ten times, after all, it only recruits 1,000 people. The expenditure of the imperial court is the same, so no one can say anything.
But what's even more bizarre is that he actually recruits candidates and tribute students?
There was no such thing as a scholar in the Northern Song Dynasty. The imperial examination only distributed three grades: the interpretation test, the provincial examination and the palace examination. Those who passed the interpretation test were considered to be juren, and those who were qualified to participate in the interpretation test were considered to be Gongsheng students, which was considered the lowest level of merit.
But even at the lowest level, they are still scholars and cultural people...
The Song Dynasty has always valued literature over martial arts, and scholars have always looked down on those reckless men. Most of them were weak in literature and had no strength to tie a chicken. It can be said that civility and martial arts have different paths.
But Lin Chong actually wants to recruit such people as soldiers? What kind of army can this form? Isn't it worse than the previous young master soldiers? And, will there really be scholars who sign up to be soldiers? Don't be the last scholar.
None of them were recruited, it was just a joke.
He also talked about his background as a coach. It seems that this coach only has some skills and can only play some intrigues. He doesn't understand the actual situation of this real military strategist at all.
All the ministers were suppressing their laughter now. They really hated Lin Chong for cheating all the officials before, and they wished they could pull Lin Chong down quickly. But now that they see him messing around like this in the new army, everyone is actually happy.
, don’t panic anymore.
It seems you don’t have to do it yourself.
With ten times his monthly salary, he formed such an inexplicable new army and let him suffer for several months. When the time comes to pull him out, let's see how Lin Chong works for the prince!
The idea of the officials is to wait for a good show, but for the people of Bianjing City, this is not a matter of waiting for a good show, but a matter of quick hands and slow hands!
With a monthly salary of ten guan a month, and an acre of land for work, this is a perfect way for one person to serve as a soldier, and the whole family will not have to worry!
Even though the people in Bianjing City are relatively wealthy, this temptation is still enough that they cannot afford to be hurt.
You can't earn so much from ordinary small business, and the "bad reputation" of the former army also played a crucial role at this time, that is, everyone thought that this soldier would be very safe.
It's just training in Bianjing City. It may be tiring, hard, and even abnormal, but at least you don't have to be dragged out to fight, and your life is safe. Such a good thing is actually the turn of ordinary people, so they must be crowded like crazy.
Go for the brain-breaking thing?
And this is just Bianjing. As the official list spreads rapidly to lower-level units, surrounding towns, and even further places, in just two or three days, this crazy Ying Tian army has made the trouble known to the world.
