Li Tai didn't know that the Northern Qi Dynasty would seize his ancestral grave, but the Gao family has always had trouble with his wife and children, and the whole family has a tradition of being implicated. He would do this to his own people, let alone his enemies. If the Gao family is moral, it is better to serve Qin Shihuang.
Make money.
Therefore, in order to prevent his ancestors from crying to him in their dreams, he also moved the graves of his ancestors to Guanzhong and reburied them in Xianyang on a good and auspicious day. At least it would be convenient to visit the graves in the future.
Compared with Gaoyang's one-man show in Yecheng, Guanzhong, especially Chang'an, has been very lively in recent days. Since the Buddha's Birthday on the eighth day of April, various Dharma and sutra debates and other activities have been held one after another, which has greatly affected the Buddhists and Taoists in Guanzhong.
For believers, it is no different than one audio-visual feast after another. Even if they don’t understand, they still love to listen to the excitement.
As the initiator of this incident, Li Tai did not join in the fun. In the final analysis, his original intention was not to hold any religious event, but to make a lot of money through this incident.
Among the Buddhist and Taoist scholars who participated in the debate, except for two eminent monks enshrined by the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty who were difficult to operate, the other eminent monks were all elected with money, food and materials.
The titles of the eight eminent monks alone brought millions of stones of grain and other considerable material income to the Bafu. Although Tianshui Guangming Temple and Shaanbei Shifo Temple were entrusted by Li Tai, the other six great monks
However, the eminent monk donated genuine materials and was able to enter the finals and appear in the debate.
As for the Taoist priests, Li Tai did not carry out such operations. It was not because he had a better impression of Taoism, but because the Taoist priests were a bit poor. The inheritance of Taoism in the Northern Dynasties has been on a downward slope since the days of Tianshi Taoist Kou Qian.
, it does not receive the attention of the rulers at the upper levels, and its penetration into the middle and lower levels is far less powerful than Buddhism.
Li Tai wanted to set up this big forum on Buddhism and Taoism. Fortunately, Zhang Shinu found several of his Louguan Taoist brothers, otherwise he would not have even selected the local Taoist representatives. However, the theoretical level of these Louguan Taoist priests was quite average.
It is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve an evenly matched situation.
Of course, Li Tai did not want to make a lie out of this debate and really allow the Samanas to unify the religious circles in Guanzhong. Only when Buddhism and Taoism are evenly matched and check and balance each other can the administrative power of the government have sufficient room to intervene to adjust and restrict religious beliefs.
So he selected many people from Jiangling and asked them to join the debate. When Emperor Liang Xiao Yi was under attack in Jiangling, he would open a forum to lecture on "Laozi", and all the officials would attend the lecture in uniform. The metaphysics of these people in the Southern Dynasties
The theoretical level is not to mention the monks in Guanzhong, but it is at least a few levels higher.
Guanzhong is not called a "cultural desert" in this era. Not only the Confucian classics, but also the religious theories of Buddhism and Taoism are in a very backward and crude state. It is no different to bring in these talents from the Southern Dynasties.
To carry out dimensionality reduction attack.
After the supplies were in place, things immediately became much simpler. Soon the various hussar mansions entered the actual establishment phase from the preparatory stage, and the sergeants from each mansion also started to work in the countryside one after another.
Xianyang in Weibei is the core and essence area of Guanzhong. Although there are many hills and valleys in the territory, because it is located between Jingwei and Jingwei, the soil is fertile and farming is convenient, so it is also an important grain-producing area around Gyeonggi.
Xianyang used to have a lot of wealthy military-headed garden and villa properties. Because it was close to the capital, it became the first choice for many soldiers of the Liufang Forbidden Army. However, many of the Liufang Forbidden Army were involved in chaos in the past. Even the junior Sima Cai You and the generals Zhuwuwei After receiving sanctions, other middle and lower-level generals will naturally be punished.
Some generals were exiled to Shannan, and some had nothing to atone for their sins. The Xianyang manor properties that were originally concentrated in the hands of the Forbidden Army generals were concentrated in the hands of the government, and are now transferred to a group of government soldiers.
Xianyang Hussar Mansion was one of the first military mansions to be established and officially put into operation, so Li Tai also took some time to come and review it.
When his ceremonial carriage arrived at Weibei from Wei Bridge, the commander of the Hussar Prefecture had already led a group of officers and soldiers to line up to greet him. He crossed his hands and said in salute: "The general will be waiting to welcome you, your Majesty!"
Seeing the high spirits of the soldiers, Li Tai was also deeply pleased. He waved and nodded to them on horseback, and headed towards the Hussar Mansion under the guidance of several Feng and others.
Fu Bing is the army's soldiers, and it is a common military system that follows the Xianbei military system. Yu Wentai's so-called Fu Bing reform is to expand the scope of soldiers to include the powerful tribes of the Han people, but other changes are not not much.
Because of their long-term military service, the soldiers are basically out of work. For them, if they want to earn income, they can only participate in wars and earn income through war seizures and rewards to maintain their lives.
There is no doubt that this way of survival is full of dangers and lacks basic guarantees. If you lose a battle, you may go bankrupt or even lose your life. This is how the former military officers and soldiers failed.
But now that Li Tai has reorganized the system, established the Hussar Prefecture, and awarded land based on military merit, this has given the sergeants of the various military prefectures a stable economic foundation and no worries. Even if the battle fails, they can still obtain survival materials through the land. Moreover, they can still obtain survival materials through the land. Land can be passed down to children and grandchildren, and it is no longer just a military record that has nothing to pass on to the family.
Li Tai dismounted his horse and walked slowly in the fields. While listening to Shuofeng and other military officials describing the status of the fields, he watched the farmers in the fields working hard. It was already midsummer, and the crops in the fields were growing luxuriantly. It was foreseeable that This year will be another good year.
Working in the fields were not only the military sergeants themselves and their wives, children, and family members, but also the servants and slaves assigned by the government. The labor force was mainly composed of the latter.
After the land is granted to the government soldiers, military tasks such as levying garrison guards and daily training are also unavoidable. Moreover, now that the land has just been handed over to households, everything still needs a running-in period. The proportion of agricultural production and military tasks requires a long-term observation. To carry out distribution. Therefore, the shortage of labor force is also the situation that these first batch of government soldiers need to face.
"How much labor is needed to keep the farming season on this piece of land?"
Li Tai stood in the field and looked at a sergeant wearing a pleated military uniform bending over to weed. He stopped and asked with a smile.
"Lord, please forgive me. There is really no one to use the house, so I didn't go out to greet the Lord today..."
The sergeant looked shy and nervous. When he saw that Tang Gong had no intention of blaming him, he began to calculate in a low voice: "I have three merits for my humble position, and I will get one hundred and twenty acres of land, one cow and one horse, and sixty acres of land."
Every acre is harvested according to the farming season, and three people are needed. But there are only old wives and young men in the household..."
Having a field but no one to cultivate it is also a problem. After listening to the sergeant's story, Li Tai asked again: "Why not rent slaves from the government?"
This problem had already been encountered in Xiangyang. Therefore, in addition to the three thousand sergeants and their families, the military government now also has an almost equal number of officials and slaves. After hearing this question, the sergeant shook his head and said:
"The people given to me by the government are all Hu slaves who are not good at farming. They are stupid and gluttonous. They don't have much labor but a lot of rent..."
As soon as he complained here, he saw that the faces of the generals and the commander of the army in the rear became a little ugly, and then they shut up after realizing it.
"The soldiers in the mansion are not good at farming and weaving, and the sergeants are not happy to rent envoys, which is really a problem. I have no choice but to do this. I can't create people out of thin air..."
When it comes to this issue, Shuofeng is also a little helpless. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. It is not that he is unaware of the demands of the sergeants, but he just does not have the corresponding human resources to allocate them.
After Li Tai heard this, he nodded slightly. Many times, the situation has changed, and the laws have to be adjusted accordingly. The transition of the government soldiers from the original retired soldiers to the meritorious landlords requires the acquisition and distribution of labor force as coordination.
Historically, after the Battle of Jiangling, all the people and things in Jiangling were taken captive into Guanzhong, and all the Jiangling people were reduced to slaves and maidservants, thus fattening the government soldiers. But today, not many people from Jiangling have moved into Guanzhong.
Most of them were resettled into households in Shannan. Although the vitality of Shannan was preserved, it also caused the development of military and peasants in Guanzhong to lag behind.
The only way to improve this situation is to obtain a large number of population resources and allocate them to the soldiers to undertake production work. The most effective way to obtain population is war. As long as the Northern Qi can be defeated, all these problems will be solved.
But now the Western Wei Dynasty's military reform has just entered a new beginning, and the national power is far from strong enough to support a large-scale war to destroy the country. This makes the situation seem to be trapped in a helpless cycle, and it seems to have become somewhat unsolvable.
.
But there are no unsolvable things in this world. After all, you can still ask the Buddha if you are undecided. There are a large number of hidden people in Buddhist temples. After all, the money donated by the Buddhas did not appear out of thin air by praying to gods and worshiping Buddha. Many temples
The slaves and monks worked hard to make the offerings to the Buddhas fat in vain.
Don't worry about the two masters. While the eminent monks have not dispersed in Chang'an City, it is only right to take some time to discuss how to properly solve this problem.
Li Tai first kept these things in mind, and then continued to move forward. When he arrived at the military mansion, he began to review the daily affairs of the military mansion.
