32. A new round of prefects who are not doing their jobs
Although Dian Wei was impatient, Li Shushi was still a genuine governor after all. Although this governor was very unreliable and often left his post without permission, leaving most of the work to his "loyal and diligent subordinates" (Cheng Yu said), he still managed to
There are many tasks that must be decided by him before they can be implemented. The most important one is the selection of Xiaolian.
Of course, the time for the prefect to recommend talents to the central government is between ** months before the Winter Festival, and there is no mandatory requirement to report a filial piety officer every year. In order to ensure quality, in principle, vacancies can be available year after year, but if you
If you really do this, then your official ethics will definitely include "This person ignores talent discovery and is the enemy of the empire's talent selection."
Fortunately, Xihe has a sparse population, and there are very few well-known family members, so it would not be too surprising even if Li Shushi, the prefect, has not recommended anyone to the central officials for several years.
Fortunately, Cheng Yu and others helped him make decisions on most matters. Now he has recruited a lot of lower-level officials from the Zhen family and the Yan family to help him with grassroots work. As long as Wu Luan, the director of the Personnel Bureau, and Tong Yuan, the police station+
Procuratorate + court integrated into one
If the supervisors of violent agencies work hard, they will not be afraid of doing something outrageous. So in general, Li Shushi, the prefect, has the style of a noble prefect in the Eastern Jin Dynasty - others do the work, and I am only responsible for showing off and taking credit.
Therefore, when the time entered February of the third year of Zhongping, Li Shushi was almost finished processing the official documents he had accumulated last year and newly added this year, and he could consider Dian Wei's life-long events.
But at this time, Li Shushi received a piece of news that made him quite helpless - the soldiers in Jiangxia broke out in uprising because they were dissatisfied with the imperial court's deduction of their military pay. And the strong man in Li Shushi's memory - Jiangxia Prefect Qin Jie died in the battle.
Speaking of which, a certain prefect had himself to blame. You must know that in the Han Dynasty, although there were many generals, it was the glory of being an official. The lives of the grassroots soldiers who were the main force in the war were like sailors in the Age of Discovery - it sounds romantic.
, in fact, it is extremely miserable. The monthly income of a big-headed soldier is about three shishi of food, which is not a fixed income. Although this is related to the area where he is stationed, except for some special areas such as the Imperial City, the Imperial City and the Imperial City, it is basically
I only see it floating downwards.
So how much is a small stone? A small stone is equivalent to half a stone, that is, five dou, which is equivalent to one dou in today's weights and measures. The converted weight is about 13.5 kilograms of millet or 16 kilograms of wheat. In other words, on average, a soldier can only
You can get 40 kilograms of millet or less than fifty kilograms of wheat, and they are all unhusked grain. Although it is much more advanced than the Qin Dynasty when preparing your own grain, but if you exclude food, it is estimated that
There won't be much left, especially in this era when oil and water are scarce.
As for coins, I have said before that except for the money compensation that will be given to the replacements when the children of rich families or officials look for good families from the border areas to replace their military service, you can only use the Lumi you save.
You can exchange it for copper coins to see our lovely brother Kong Fang, but this is not an easy thing for any adult man.
Therefore, it is easy to understand why officers who are willing to spread their wealth are so supported by the soldiers.
Although food and salary are already so low, the problem is that due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, various places, especially in the Central Plains, recruited a large number of soldiers to expand their armies. After the war, how to support these soldiers has become a headache for various places.
You must know that even if a soldier only receives three small stones of food and salary per month, 10,000 soldiers will need 180,000 stone of food and wages a year. This kind of effect of adding up little things into a tower is really a very scary thing. It's like
A certain Prime Minister said, "Even if it is a small matter multiplied by 1.3 billion, it will be a very big problem." It is really a wise saying.
Well, such an expense is really a big pressure on the local finances where the maximum number of county soldiers before the Yellow Turban Rebellion was only 3,000, and recruiting from the Yellow Turban hardest-hit areas such as Nanyang, Runan, Wei County and their surrounding areas
The number of soldiers was much higher, and the huge financial burden caused headaches to the governors of various counties who had to raise soldiers independently.
Of course, when there is a crisis, there is an opportunity. In the eyes of some people, this trouble is a huge problem, and in the eyes of some people, it is a huge source of wealth. Just like someone said - "If the whole world
If everyone gives me a dollar, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life." Although the number of soldiers cannot be compared with the number of human beings in the world, they add up to a small amount.
Therefore, Qin Jie, the newly appointed governor of Jiangxia, also turned his mind to Jiangxia's army that was obviously overstretched due to the raging Yellow Turban Army. After all, he still owed Liu Hong a huge official loan that had not yet been repaid.
Having only paid a down payment, he naturally needed to find ways to make more money in order to keep his hard-won position. However, the Jiangxia Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Sun Zhong, ravaged the land of Jingchu, resulting in the tyrants who could escape in Jiangxia.
The rich are all fleeing
After all, those who cannot escape will either become the supply of the Yellow Turban Army or become a tricky idea that the Yellow Turban Army will not make up their mind. And in the end, Qin Jie is obviously not someone he can afford to offend. So he, who is quite flexible, will
Eyes turned to the army.
It is estimated that this prefect must have heard of it or may be the ancestor of a member of the market planning department of Nong ○ Shanquan. He put forward a slogan in front of his subordinates with a cross-generational vision: "Every soldier is distributed
You donated one pound of rice to the children in the impoverished mountainous areas of Guiyang."
What a touching slogan this is.
As soon as this slogan was shouted, all the officials of Jiangxia County, large and small, burst into tears. They were moved by the compassionate heart of their prefect, and they all expressed that they had experienced a baptism of love.
Qin Jie was very satisfied with this. After all, he only deducted lumi from the soldiers, which could be explained by errors. However, if the rations of tens of thousands of soldiers were summed up, then his monthly payment for the official loan would not be needed.
Worried.
But obviously this Qin governor has not heard another classic story, that is - the sky-high price medicines we buy are actually very cheap when they come out of the pharmaceutical factory - at least compared to when they are in the hospital.
Much cheaper.
But these involuntary drugs and even the pharmaceutical company that is their father obviously cannot control their destiny, so they are helplessly trafficked over and over again, passing through the hands of countless traffickers. By the time we adopt these children
, all of them are already super precious golden dolls, but we, the ignorant, are cursing the evil intentions of the pharmaceutical companies.
Poor Qin Jie also encountered such a situation now.
Officials at all levels in Jiangxia County who were baptized by this "Warrior of Love" expressed their desire to learn from the Grand Administrator, deeply understand the "spirit of love" advocated by the Grand Administrator, and contribute to Yongchang (Rinan/Kuiji...)
The children in impoverished mountainous areas have made their own contribution, allowing every inch of land in the Han Dynasty to be bathed in the sunshine of love.
Then? Then the soldiers in Jiangxia County discovered that the Lumi distributed to them had changed from three small stones and fifteen buckets to today's one stone and ten buckets, which seemed to be often insufficient - it is said that the natural disasters in the three years of the Celestial Dynasty were the most difficult period.
A person's monthly rations are only 27 and a half kilograms. People across the country are so hungry that they are crying. How do you expect a group of strong young men who are soldiers to live?
Of course, they didn't know the tricks involved in distributing food. They only heard about the "great" idea of trusting the prefect from the food distribution officer - what a great person!
Therefore, under the instigation of a thoughtful person, dissatisfaction with the prefect Qin Jie quickly spread in the military camp and eventually turned into a large-scale mutiny. Tens of thousands of soldiers plus a certain thoughtful person - who escaped with their lives from the Nanyang battlefield
The troops led by Sun Xia, the younger brother of Sun Zhong, the former leader of the Jiangxia Yellow Turban Army, cooperated with others and captured Xiling City, the seat of Jiangxia County.
Qin Jie still couldn't figure it out until the last moment of his life. Why did the soldiers react so badly when he obviously only took a measly meter? This is so unscientific, so unscientific, dear!
Qin Jie is dead, Liu Yan is still thinking about where to hide in the center, Xu Qiu is still hiding in the small vassal state of Rencheng, Zhu Jun is hanged in Luoyang, and Li Shushi is wandering around the northern border of the Han Dynasty.
, Sun Jian and Li Zhuo are still fighting on the front line of the battle against the Qiang people in the northwest. Several of the main heroes who pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang are now separated, and when
When the barbarians from the four counties in Jingnan began to collude with the local careerists who claimed to be the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, Liu Hong suddenly discovered that Jingzhou seemed to be falling at an unprecedented speed. Almost every day, there were reports such as "XX Governor died for his country"
"," OO county magistrate was killed", "XXOO official died for the country" and other newspapers, just like the early days of the Zhangjiao uprising.
Of course, just as in the early days of Zhang Jiao's uprising, as many officials died in the battle, more officials fled. Suddenly, the land of Jingchu seemed to be no longer owned by the Han Dynasty, which made Liu, who was already in a bad mood, even worse.
Hong was both angry and helpless.
Therefore, he could only re-select officials and let some officials who were courageous and capable but not necessarily from very prominent backgrounds take up their posts.
In this context, Wang Rui, the new governor of Jingzhou, Yang Xu, the new governor of Nanyang, Sun Jian, the new governor of Changsha, Liu Xiang, the new governor of Jiangxia, and Cao Yin, the new governor of Wuling, all stepped into their new jobs.
Some of them are of noble origin, some of them are of ordinary origin, some are legendary in their own lives, and some of their descendants are famous. These people gathered in the land of Jingzhou and performed scenes of life short dramas that made people sigh.
It leaves infinite reveries to future generations.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Li Shushi who is now in the north. Now he is like a student who has just completed a large number of holiday homework assigned by the teacher, raising his arms and shouting:
"The Sa family can finally be free again!"
p.s. Monthly Amber has been updated continuously. We would feel embarrassed if we didn’t update.
p.s. After looking at Hei Qingyin, it turned out to be so cruel, Mio and so on, it was so miserable to be hacked... On the contrary, we didn't have the slightest surprise in Wei's ending. Sure enough, being natural is more suitable for living in the three-dimensional world...
