76. The Spring Festival with neither Gala nor Vacation
"Woohoo, it's finally over. Why are they both national statutory holidays but there is such a big gap?"
Dragging his tired body, Li Shushi returned to his comfort zone, but he couldn't remember exactly how he came back because he was so exhausted. His mind was still full of various Spring Festival etiquette and procedures as well as awkward rituals.
. Sure enough, it is not easy for leaders. Those leaders who can talk for hours once they start speaking are even more weird and need to be protected.
What I have to admit is that compared to the joy and relaxation of the Winter Festival, which is enjoyed by the people, the Spring Festival symbolizes the arrival of the new year and the beginning of the new farming season in the north. In addition, Emperor Guangwu Liu
In order to show the difference between the Han Dynasty and the previous dynasty, the Spring Festival far exceeds the Winter Festival in terms of importance and ritual.
In fact, it is not that Li Shushi has never seen the Spring Festival ceremony. When he was at the Julu General Altar in Zhangjiao, he had participated in the Spring Festival ceremony co-hosted by the magistrate of Julu County and Zhang Jiao. However, he who was in the audience at that time was totally fine.
It's okay to turn yourself into a passerby and play a little trick, or in other words, this kind of behavior is considered normal for a child.
But now Li Shushi's identity has been greatly different. As the nominal supreme ruler of the nine counties of Xihe County, although he can ask Lu Zhi for help, after all, most of the rituals still need to be completed by himself.
Of course, the most important thing is that if today is a good year, then if you are lazy during the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year, others may not say anything, and it may become an interesting conversation that will be passed down through the ages. But if you are unlucky and encounter something
Under special circumstances such as strong winds and heavy rain or no rain for a few days, your performance at the Spring Festival will be recalled from memory, and then various charges will be listed. Even if you cannot be removed from power, that kind of sergeant
The trivial thoughts of ordinary people are enough to make you feel unhappy.
And if such a thing happens, then this person is likely to leave a big stain on his resume, which will seriously affect his future promotion path. But these days, as long as you have money, you can
You can get promoted if you have a good backer. You have done worse things than this, so you don't care about it anymore.
However, the word of mouth speaks for itself, and don't forget that there are several mythical beasts in this world that are super cute, so the punishment for such things that may cause displeasure to the gods is much heavier than those who deceive, kidnap, and steal.
Some unlucky people may even be implicated because of the "tails" they left behind even if they work elsewhere a few years later.
Although in response to Li Shushi's complaints about a certain white tiger and a certain black-bellied queen, they said that they had not cared about such formalistic matters at all, but how could a mortal not feel a little awe.
Therefore, the original official holiday was so busy with a series of issues such as the preparation for the Spring Festival and the new year's land cultivation after the Spring Festival, changes in county policies, and military training, that there was no trace of a rest day at all.
Even Li Shushi, who is accustomed to delegating power and being lazy and slippery, must chair one meeting after another to determine the goals of each department for the new year and the promulgation and deployment of laws or resources that may be needed to achieve this goal. Even if Li Shushi
No matter how lazy you are, you have to face it. After all, only he is qualified to decide these things.
Of course, Li Shushi, who was the boss behind the scenes, was already very worried. His subordinates who had happily taken over the power and patted their chests to ensure that the tasks were completed were even more miserable. In addition, the Xihe bureaucracy
The system's abnormal tendency to emphasize martial arts over literature, for a period of time, including Cao Ling
Among them, some of the guys in the military who could read and write, such as Huang Zhong, Cao Chun, Tai Shici, and even Zhang He, Cao Ren, and Xu Chu, were all forced to serve as clerks. As for Wei An, Huang Xu was still in school.
Children at this stage have also been turned into miserable child labor by the evil bureaucratic class in the name of "practice".
But the thing that relieved Li Shushi the most was that at first, because of his unique identity, he could smile and watch on the sidelines leisurely while watching everyone laugh. A certain Loli who was obviously evil was attacked by Wu Luan using the star eyes and lily that are unique to women.
KO had to become Wu Luan's administrative assistant and temporarily changed from the chief steward of Li Mansion to the chief steward of Xihe County.
Woohoo, Su Xiaoluoli, since you can still make such delicious tea with so much work on your hands, it means that the pressure on your shoulders is actually not very big~ Someone once watched Su Xiaoluoli writing various articles at a fast speed.
Lui Kumon thought happily to Shota who had gone bad while drinking fragrant tea, but he obviously underestimated the revenge of a certain lolita.
So, after a certain Lolita took a precious jade and rolled around and acted cute, Li Shushi heard the decree of a certain sinister queen whose mouth definitely turned into a cat's mouth - in order to ensure that various crops in Xihe can grow in the new year.
After a good harvest, Li Shushi must put on a good performance at the New Year's Spring Festival to please the Green Dragon of the Oriental Wood, which is in charge of crop growth.
Guys who can’t read it either), the Northern Xuanwu Emperor who is in charge of water vapor and disasters (Mysterious Voice: Remember, this is the most important thing oh DA☆ZE~), and the Southern Fire Suzaku (Mysterious Voice) who is in charge of sunshine
: The most noble Suzaku sister, Miss Er, is also invincible), and the little white tiger in charge of killing (mysterious voice: Well, actually, you don’t care if you don’t care, anyway, it’s a creature with an extremely weak sense of existence and completely indistinguishable gender.
⑨).
Hey hey hey~ Su Xiaololi, don’t pretend to be mysterious around me, I’ve heard everything. My neighbor’s grandma once praised me as a rare talent who can do anything well as long as I put my heart into it.
So don't think so
A simple setting can hide it from me. Li Shushi looked at Su Xiaoluoli, who smiled very darkly, with black lines on his face, but his resistance ended there, because obviously Cheng Yu or Tong Yuan
They all completely believed what Su Xiaololi said.
So, a bunch of busy and dizzy guys finally had a new pleasure, which was to watch Li Shushi learn how to act cute at the Spring Festival.
Although Li Shushi made countless "most annoying" statements, Cheng Yu, who was too busy, Lu Bu, who was too busy, Tong Yuan, who was too busy, and Jia Xu, who hoped to further reduce his sense of existence.
Under the joint obstruction, Li Shushi had to face that he had become the target of "retaliation" that the broad masses of the people loved to see.
Of course, Li Shushi said that the biggest driving force behind this was a certain dog with a cheesy smile and a very handsome figure who was so popular among young military officers that it was rumored that someone had organized an NGO "Ningweiyushan Guards" for him.
A loli who is not a loli.
However, I heard from Tong Yuan that the Yan family and the Zhen family have decided to support a group of family members in Xihe. Although they are all from common people with sparse blood relations, they can still be trusted in their ability because they have attended schools sponsored by the family. At the same time, Lu
After several months of observation, Zhi also decided to post "hero posts" in Jianghu, hoping to summon some of his unsuccessful students and friends to Xihe.
In this way, the dilemma of lack of manpower in the Xihe civil service system will be greatly alleviated. At the same time, Li Shushi will no longer have to see Cheng Yu's black face that has become infinitely close to a resentful spirit. At the same time, Li Shushi can also use all his efforts on what to do.
Control the army. After all, in the following troubled times, although there will be countless civil servants and counselors who shine brightly, the most basic component of the entire world is still people, especially soldiers. It would be fine if the others are not snatched away, otherwise what?
It can be called troubled times.
Of course, we are not in troubled times yet, so for the time being, Li Shushi still needs to be peaceful and honest as his governor instead of a robber.
Therefore, although he was about to face the possibility of Xianbei people going south, Li Shushi still announced the "Regulations on the Military Reclamation System (Trial)" and the "Regulations on the Civil Reclamation System (Trial)", which were drafted by Lu Zhi and Cheng Yu, and Tong Yuan and Yan Zhong were responsible for improving them.
》Promulgated and implemented.
Military Reclamation divides the army into two parts, Class A and Class B troops. Class A troops can be called professional soldiers. These people are mainly composed of the general's personal soldiers and elite soldiers. They do not need to go to the field and only need to train hard. These people's responsibilities include
In addition to protecting the safety of generals, they also need to participate in patrolling trade routes and undertake low-intensity war campaigns.
The B-level troops are field soldiers. They also receive military training, but during the busy farming season they still focus on agricultural production. Due to the particularity of this time and space, it is enough for these people to ensure that their combat skills and physical strength do not deteriorate, even because of harvesting crops
, kill insects and gain some spiritual power to strengthen themselves. As second-line troops and city defense troops, I believe they are still qualified, not to mention that because they are fighting troops after all, their ability to resist the harassment of barbarians is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
.
And as the cotton crop has been sent here by Liu Hong, although Li Shushi is not sure whether Xihe can grow this crop, but after hearing Li Shushi's idea of the use of cotton, an old man who loves planting flowers and grass
Li Shushi volunteered to help guide the planting work in Xihe, which gave Li Shushi a feeling of surprise.
To put it bluntly, the civil reclamation system is actually more appropriately called the refugee management system - people participating in this system do not have to bear the burden of corvee labor, and the government will also provide farm tools and cattle (Li Shushi said that several small tribes of Jie people have made great contributions in this regard)
), but the tax is much higher than that of ordinary people who own their own land. Once you become a participant in this plan, you can no longer leave the land. You can only work here from generation to generation or become a soldier in Xihe County or be recommended to serve as an official.
Farmers who participate in civil reclamation must also receive military training during the slack season and master some self-protection abilities. Those with a certain level can also join the ranks of the Xihe County soldiers and become a professional soldier. Of course, this kind of thing is entirely voluntary.
It's just that the families of soldiers in Xihe County have a lot of tax concessions, huh, so Li Shushi said that he had to volunteer~
As for the captives and surrenders of the Jie people, Li Shushi also dealt with them - the Jie people who surrendered became slaves and were sent to various military reclamation units to participate in labor reform. In the future, after the establishment of the civilian reclamation units, they would be handed over to the management units of the civilian reclamation units.
But even though they are slaves, as long as they don't run away, their status is actually no different from ordinary soldiers or common people. Li Shushi will not be stingy with his own food for the excellent labor force. Only with input can there be output~
But as long as they dare to escape, how Xiao Baicai died and Li Shushi can definitely be copied to those Jie people.
Those tribes that surrendered will still carry out herding work, but their livestock can only be sold to a few businesses with Li Shushi's permission. At the same time, their tribal leaders will also live collectively in residences arranged in Lishi City, and their children and grandchildren will also
Must accept Yan Zhong's "brainwashing education".
After all these measures, Li Shushi believed that an economic network had been initially established in Xihe. As long as his governor would not be overthrown, in a few years Xihe would not only be able to protect himself, but might even be able to launch several beautiful counterattacks.
