How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, I repaired my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you.
How can I say that I have no clothes?
In the school field outside the martial arts lecture hall on the outskirts of Chang'an, the soldiers shouted with uneven voices. After all, this was a martial arts lecture hall, not a concert. Whether the rhythm was correct or not was not a consideration at all.
Is the sound loud or powerful enough?
Ma Yan stood by with several instructors. Although his face was serious, there was some warmth in his eyes. He was older now, and he really couldn't lead him in the military formation. After all, he looked like Lian Po.
, Huang Zhong, who is still strong with old age, is still a minority. Most soldiers will always have problems of one kind or another when they get old due to various injuries and pains in their youth.
Mayan is no exception.
It's a pity that Ma Yan's own knowledge is not very high. He understands some things, but can't explain them. Therefore, he can only serve as a steward of the martial arts hall, responsible for some chores, discipline inspections, etc., and specifically teaches and teaches.
Still can't do it.
Most of the middle and low-level non-commissioned officers who participate in the training in the martial arts hall do not have the opportunity to move to a higher level. They will complete basic literacy and arithmetic assessment tests, battlefield detection and tactical analysis, etc. in the martial arts hall.
Waiting for courses, some people will stand out in the process, while others will be eliminated and lose opportunities for advancement.
Under the hussar, the army is still the most desirable profession for ordinary people.
In the Hussars Army, not only are soldiers paid well, but they also have a supporting merit system and death benefits. Even if they cannot wait to go to a high-level military academy, after retirement, they can still be given priority to enter the inspection department and become a town security guard, or
Whether it is to become a local secretariat or a thief, even if you do nothing, just exchange your military service for land, and learn enough knowledge in the army to become someone who is admired by the surrounding people in the local area.
In addition, the soldiers under the Hussars have a high degree of military honor. Professional soldiers trained under strict military discipline are naturally more disciplined than the ordinary hired soldiers of the Han Dynasty. After basically retiring, they rarely appear among the people to do evil. Plus
Publicity through military newspapers, storytelling, Five Directions Catholic Church and other means, as well as a set of red and black jerseys that can be taken home after retirement, are respected by ordinary people when walking on the road. If someone has some meritorious service, even their children will be married.
Much better than ordinary farmers.
For those refugees who have migrated from other places, if they marry the families of soldiers under the Hussars, it is basically equivalent to establishing a foothold.
In recent years, the hussar generals have made steady progress, and the demand for soldiers has increased with the increase in territory. There is an urgent need to expand front-line combat troops. The Martial Arts Hall has also made new adjustments in response to the changes in the situation.
Originally, the martial arts training hall was only for soldiers who had won competitions in the army, as well as for middle and low-level military academies. But now the Hussars General said that he wanted to expand the martial arts training hall. Well, if you count, it is not an expansion. It is to recruit recruits from Guanzhong.
The battalion was merged into the Martial Arts Hall, so that the Martial Arts Hall not only faced the middle and lower-level military schools, but also trained these new recruits.
For Ma Yan, as he gets older, he likes to see young people.
But these energetic young people also represent this very thing.
Chaos with strong Qi and blood.
The hussar general's training method originated from later generations, but after improvements by Xu Huang and others, it has now become more adapted to the current strict military discipline of the Han Dynasty, which is almost an oppressive training. This training model is not suitable for
Originally, the refugees, or the common people who were accustomed to hardship, could generally bear it.
After entering Guanzhong Sanfu, as the scope of conscription expanded, the composition of the soldiers gradually became more complex. When faced with harsh training and military discipline, some people would inevitably have some backlash.
Fei Qian's reform this time was to set up an instructor group with Ma Yan as the main body, and changed the original recruit training model of a single general to an instructor group system. The training methods were also slightly changed to make it adaptable.
A wider range of military resources.
Although corporal punishment, beatings and scolding in the army are still the same, according to the new drill code, the instructors have also added some methods to soothe the soldiers' emotions, such as singing, wrestling, Cuju, etc., so that the soldiers' tense nerves can be somewhat adjusted.
Ma Yan watched, and then saw another instructor leading these young boys to practice, and then walked into the martial arts hall with his hands behind his back.
Compared with the single training model for generals, the instructor system has its advantages and disadvantages.
Although the quality of recruits can certainly be guaranteed by using a single commander to train recruits, it will inevitably lead to the recruits being contaminated by some of the commander's habits. For the next assignment, it will require an adaptation process. The recruit instructor mode is
With drills as the main focus and instructors as the supplement, and multiple instructors taking turns training, there will be no problem of behaviors allowed by one instructor being prohibited by the other side.
For example, when training new soldiers in Xu Huang's hands, there is no doubt that heavy infantry is more favored by Xu Huang. What about the other arms?
This is generally the situation.
It's just that the soldiers trained by the instructor mode will be worse than those trained by a single general, especially those trained by excellent generals. This is inevitable.
For example, when Xu Huang trains soldiers, Xu Huang is responsible for the quality of the recruits, and Xu Huang also has to worry about his reputation, so he cannot be perfunctory, but the instructors are paid to live, so long as they meet the standards.
It's just that more soldiers are needed now, and the single-general model does restrict the number of new recruits to train.
The new recruits are training outside, and in the martial arts hall, there are also middle and low-level military academy non-commissioned officers from all over the country.
Seeing Ma Yan arriving at the gate of the Lecture Hall, a chief officer in the courtyard came to greet him. This man was from Xiliang. He had his hand cut off in the Battle of Chang'an and was assigned to serve as a patrolman in Pingyang for a period of time.
Inspector, and was later transferred here to serve as an auxiliary officer in the Jiangwu Hall.
The auxiliary officer followed Ma Yan and walked in together, and said: Most of the military academy non-commissioned officers for training have arrived, and there are still some who have not arrived. Most of those who have not arrived are from Sichuan, Sichuan and Longyou.
A little further away.
So when will these people arrive? Ma Yan asked.
The auxiliary officer thought about it and said: It should be soon. Will the people from Longyou reach Sichuan and Sichuan first? It will probably take about ten days.
After chatting along the way, we arrived at the accommodation area for mid-level and low-level non-commissioned officers participating in the training.
The new recruits live in tents outside, while the non-commissioned officers training inside the martial arts hall live in large bungalows. There is a toilet next to every five large rooms. The bathhouse has to be farther away, and the camp is spaced at regular intervals.
There was a well, and there were many ordinary non-commissioned officers queuing up to fetch water.
Seeing Ma Yan come in, the non-commissioned officers participating in the training stopped what they were doing, either greeted him from a distance, or came up to say hello to Ma Yan.
After all, Ma Yan is a veteran for many years and many people know him.
Ma Yan stopped, pointed at a person and said, well, I remember you. You were recruited in the first year of Taixing. You were stretching on the river! Later, you followed General Xu, right? You look much stronger now! Get married.
Is it done yet?
Report back to the general! I got married three years ago, and now I have two children! They are both brats!
Ma Yan laughed and patted the man on the shoulder, not bad. This time, you must seize the opportunity to study hard so that you can advance to a higher level in the future!
Ma Yan looked around at the non-commissioned officers gathered around him, "You guys too! My lord has built a martial arts hall and gives you these opportunities. You must cherish them! Study hard, do you hear me?"
I heard it! The non-commissioned officers responded in unison.
Ma Yan nodded and said: One more thing, have you seen those recruits outside? You have to set an example for them! I haven't given you any training these days, so you can't relax! In a few more days, wait.
Your people have all expired, and you have to set rules for these new recruits! You are their rules! If anyone is slacking off at that time, go back to where they came from! Say the ugly things first!
Do not worry!
There will definitely be no problem then!
Okay! It’s agreed! Ma Yan waved his hand, it’s gone, it’s gone! Just go and do your own business!
The sergeants gradually dispersed.
Ma Yan smiled and continued walking forward. By the way, are all the food supplies ready?
The auxiliary officer hurried forward two steps and everything was gathered. Yesterday, the merchants from the Chamber of Commerce transferred all the supplies to the warehouse. I turned around and showed the list to the general.
Is there no deduction, or is it shoddy? Have you checked everything? Ma Yan asked again.
I think it's fine. There's no problem. How about when the general has time to go to the warehouse and take a look? The auxiliary officer said.
Did the guys from the Dahan Chamber of Commerce learn well? Ma Yan chuckled and said, "Let's go, you still have to take a look before you feel relieved. This is a drill in the martial arts hall. You and I must be careful to live up to the lord's trust."
(′^w^)
In the Hussar General's Mansion, Fei Qian and Pang Tong Xunyou were also calculating the accounts.
Pang Tong stood aside and suddenly threw away his pen. The emperor came to the Dahan Chamber of Commerce to purchase supplies again, and it was inevitable that he owed money again! He owed money, but he would not give it back later! And those who followed the emperor to buy officials were simply shameless.
Extremely great! Last year’s payment was not paid off, but what about the year before last? I still want to buy it this year!
Fei Qian smiled, then glanced at Xun You and said, what do you think of Gongda? Should it be sold to the emperor this year?
Xun You also put down his pen and said: What I am worried about in this matter is not the money, but the purchase. I am afraid it may not be the case.
Pang Tong chuckled and said: Needless to say? Look at what they are all about. There are so many sachets and spices from the Western Regions. If they were all used by the emperor, would they be covered with them? Isn’t this a pickle?
Huh? Pang Shiyuan Feiqian almost couldn't help it, he glared at Pang Tong and said, shut up.
Xun You coughed and pretended he hadn't heard anything just now.
After a while, Fei Qian said: If an ordinary merchant is half-bought and half-owed like this, and is delayed for several years without repaying the money, basically the merchant will not be able to survive for long. It is impossible to say that the family will be ruined in the end, but for us, it is nothing.
It's just a big deal
Pang Tong said: The key is that year after year, the more we owe, the more goods we need to receive. In a few years, it is hard to believe that they will become more and more arrogant, and they will not even want to give us any money!
Xun You sighed slightly. He was mainly in charge of finance and civil affairs. Seeing these money and goods being sent to Shandong in vain, even in the name of the emperor, he still felt a little anxious and dissatisfied.
This kind of anxiety is multifaceted, not just about money.
In the early days of the emperor's purchase, it was pretty good. What he wanted were some ordinary goods. Those for daily expenses were not expensive, so he gave it to him. But now it's better, his appetite is getting bigger, and
They were all precious things, which made Xun You feel more helpless and sad.
Emperor Liu Xie, does he really not know about this?
Indeed, as long as Fei Qian did not rebel for a day, these things would generally have to be played according to the rules of the Han game.
Is there any problem when the young manor of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty purchases some things that the Emperor needs?
It’s not that we don’t give money, it’s just that the payment is less and delayed.
Historically, this kind of thing happened not only in the Han Dynasty. Isn't the charcoal-burning man an example?
So, my lord, what should I do with the things the emperor purchased this year? Xun You asked in a bit of embarrassment.
Don't give it to them! Pang Tong said, there must be many of them that the emperor does not want! If it is really needed, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. It is a habit to pay back the debt.
Fei Qian pondered for a while, then smiled and said: What are my thoughts?
Pang Tong sat up straight, my lord!
Fei Qian waved his hand and said: This matter is a bit troublesome to explain.
Because Fei Qian is not only looking at these commodities, he is also more concerned about the things behind the commodities.
For Pang Tong and Xun You, or most of the Han natives, they are not very clear about the power of commodity impact. In the current economic environment of the Han Dynasty, the daily needs of many ordinary farmers are very low. Of course,
, these ordinary farmers don’t have much money, let alone consumption.
And for a farmer family, even if they do have some spare money, most of it will be invested in the most basic food and clothing, and at most they will purchase some production tools, such as saving some money to buy a cow.
If you still have some money, you can build a house for your children, marry a wife, etc., such as some handmade products, expensive consumer goods, etc. Basically, they have no chance with these ordinary farmers.
In the previous economic environment of the Han Dynasty, most handicraft industries were created around the needs of gentry children, because these gentry children were the most important consumers, and only these people could afford to spend money.
But now, something is different.
Although many people are unwilling to admit it, it has to be said that the goods in Guanzhong Sanfu are indeed more exquisite and more practical than those in other areas. Therefore, they have attracted constant traffic from caravans to take these goods to other states and counties for sale.
.And then in the process of selling these goods, it intentionally or unintentionally had an impact on craftsmen in other areas.
In the current Han Dynasty, in the system of small-scale peasant economy, handicraftsmen were very vulnerable. On the one hand, these handicraftsmen were an indispensable part of social production, and on the other hand, the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty despised these handicraftsmen.
It's like scorning Liu Bei for being a straw sandal seller.
Zhuge Liang often talked about his hard work in Nanyang, but after Liu Bei became an official, he never said that he was a handicraftsman or a straw sandal seller.
I have been deceived by Confucianism for three to four hundred years. I think that apart from scholars, farmers are serious people, while workers and businessmen are not serious people.
In addition, the protection for craftsmen is not enough. If you get sick or injured and cannot give birth, the whole family will be ruined. What does the loss of craftsmanship have to do with the noble nobles' children?
Innovation?
nonexistent.
When you see a good one, just throw it to the craftsmen in your own manor.
Can it be done?
If you can do it, do it!
copyright?
It's even more of a joke.
Not to mention during life, even things after death belong to the children of the noble family.
What's unreasonable?
I represent the principles of the Han Dynasty!
Under such conditions, how can the Han craftsmen have a good life?
Even if there is local protection in later generations, they often cannot withstand the impact of some commodities. What's more, in the current era of the Han Dynasty, almost no descendants of the gentry have such a concept. Even if some individuals feel that something is wrong, they often cannot figure out what is going on.
where is the problem.
In Feiqian, the Bachelor of Engineering provides scientific research progress and reform, and the craftsman system guarantees the interests of craftsmen and handicraftsmen. The gradual scale of production reduces the cost of products, and a large number of goods are cheaper and more exquisite.
The situation affected the production sequence of other regions. In the process, some handicraftsmen could not keep up with Fei Qian's footsteps and became unemployed and bankrupt. In an environment like Han Dynasty that did not pay attention to handicraftsmen at all, most of them became refugees.
They have to escape, or engage in something completely different from the original, such as selling coolies, etc.
One year, two years, three years
Regardless of the fact that there are many products in Fei Qian now, they are almost sold at low prices, and sometimes even at a loss, just like this item purchased in the name of the emperor, but in fact, in the long run, Fei Qian is not
Not a loss.
Free things are often the most expensive.
In the sales list of goods traded, Feiqian here gradually provides more semi-finished products and finished products, while the goods sold in Shandong are more raw materials.
Just give it to them. Fei Qian said with a smile. It's not like you can't afford the money, so don't worry about it. What's more, if you don't give it, the emperor's face will not look good, right?
This is worth a lot of money
It is the duty of ministers to offer tribute to the emperor! No problem, just give it to them! Fei Qian laughed, not to mention that it is not the time yet
It's not time yet? Xun You frowned slightly. He thought Fei Qian was saying it was not time to fall out, which made him feel a little uncomfortable because he didn't know whether Fei Qian was targeting the Shandong nobles or the emperor at this time.
.
Pang Tong was also thinking about Fei Qian's untimely decision. He pondered for a while, then looked at Fei Qian. He seemed to have thought of something. His eyes rolled a few times, and then he nodded.
