"This...is afraid of losing the heart of a scholar!"
Dulongzi was shocked again and muttered to himself.
This is a very real problem.
In fact, if there is no need to demote officials or officials, who should we look for to manage and collect taxes?
If Jiangzhou Prefecture cannot quickly integrate its resources, how can it take advantage of the favorable conditions to attack from all sides and expand its territory?
Once it fails to develop rapidly, given the awkward position of Jiangzhou Prefecture, when the court reacts, it will be immediately besieged from all sides, which is terrible.
"Besides...where do the military rations and military pay come from?"
Dulongzi asked again.
"There is some inventory in the treasury. Let's kill some fat pigs. No, it's a big business, doesn't it already have everything?"
Aaron laughed.
"This is the way of the refugee army. It has no foundation and it is difficult to gather the king's energy!" Du Longzi shook his head repeatedly.
"Kill all the refugees regardless of the circumstances, so we have to find an excuse to kill them openly...for example, those with blood or those with secret connections!"
Aaron stretched and looked around: "But you are right. Although I plan to recruit Taoist boys to study in the sixth room, it won't work if there is no one to lead the teaching at the beginning. Let's go to the talent market and take a look!"
"Talent market?"
"It's a prison!"
The government prison.
As soon as he entered the prison, he smelled the stench, which made Du Longzi frown.
And at the prison gate, there are even Liujia magic soldiers guarding it.
"Since ancient times, those who have rebelled and broken the county government have always liked to release prisoners. Those who create chaos should actually be punished!"
Aaron laughed: "There are unjust cases in prison, but there are even more scumbags. Wouldn't it be a disaster if they were really let go?"
I added in my mind: "It's better to use it to refine the Liujia Divine Weapon! But I didn't say anything at this time. I came to the cell and sat on a wooden bench.
The prison head tremblingly placed a plate of cold pork head meat, a pot of wine, and a stack of broad beans: "Two Taoists...
Please!"
"Well, bring me the prisoner's file."
Aaron lit the oil lamp and said to Du Longzi: "As long as there are injustices, there are actually flaws in this dossier... and...
...Prison leader, you actually know who is innocent best, right? If you don’t want to die, just tell the truth."
"Yes!" The prison chief, who was in his forties, had a glib face: "What do you want to ask, Master Dao? I know everything I know, and I can tell you endless words."
"Are there any scholars in your prison? No scholars or above."
Aaron asked, and Du Longzi understood immediately.
Scholars cherish fame and are often unwilling to join thieves, but literati who commit crimes are often the first to do so. Most of them were "strategists" among those who rebelled against thieves in history!
The prison boss smiled bitterly: "It's true that there are a few talented people who can't reach this level, but they can read and write."
"Who is the most bitter and resentful among them?"
The jailer thought for a while and replied: "Cao Man, this man was once a child, but later he was attracted by the Wang family, a big family in the mansion. A fortune teller saw it and said that the ancestral tomb can emit green smoke, and the descendants of the ancestor will be rich and powerful.
Then he got into a fight with someone for no reason, his legs were broken, and he couldn't take the exam... As time went by, the family fell into decline. The 'Wang family' forcibly bought his ancestors, dug them out and threw them into mass graves, and changed it to their own feng shui.
"
"Then, for some reason, a few months ago, he was involved in another lawsuit and was sent to prison. The Wang family used money to make sure that he died in prison. We, the legal officials, were greedy for profit and were ready to continue to exploit it. Only then did we survive.
Now, this... I fear losing the heart of a scholar!"
Du Longzi was shocked again and muttered to himself.
This is a very real problem.
In fact, if there is no need to demote officials or officials, who should we look for to manage and collect taxes?

"Then, for some reason, a few months ago, he was involved in another lawsuit and was sent to prison. The Wang family used money to make sure that he died in prison. We, the legal officials, were greedy for profit and were ready to continue to exploit it. Only then did we survive.
Now, this lawsuit must be caused by the Wang family." Du Longzi sneered: "Either you don't do it, or you do it absolutely. Since you have already robbed the ancestral grave and formed a deadly feud, why are you still waiting for someone to get rich? You need to kill him to feel at ease!"
"Who says it's not the case?" the prison boss lamented.
"Go and bring Cao Man here."
Aaron snapped his fingers and ordered.
Several defected jailers passed by, and one person was immediately dragged over, almost no longer human.
In ancient times, prison was not a good place to go, especially the female prison. Unless special care was taken, your innocence would be gone after you entered it.
The male prisoner is not much better either. This kind of person who is destined to die has only half a breath left.
"I'm going to call the doctor right now."
When the cell leader saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"No need!"
Aaron took out a pear and a fire date and asked the jailer to feed Cao Man to swallow them.
It is strange to say that Cao Man originally only had one breath left, but after eating the pear and fire dates, he suddenly became excited, opened his eyes, and stood up on his own: "This...I..."
"Cao Man, I won't beat around the bush. We are rebels. We saved you because we wanted to invite you to join our gang... If you agree, I will allocate a team of people to you on the spot to destroy the Wang family. Of course... their property will still be confiscated.
."
Aaron spoke.
When Cao Man heard about the Wang family, his eyes were sharp, he looked around again, no longer hesitated, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed. As long as he can destroy the Wang family, Cao Man's life will be given to the Taoist priest in the future."
"Very well, let's go!"
Aaron waved his hand, smiled and looked at Cao Man's back as he left: "Next...
All of these people can be used. The key is to take care of the subordinates and then join the Taoist...get to know each other for a year or two.
That Taoist boy will probably be able to grow up.
The most important thing is the big thing I want to do. The most taboo is to show off the horse and horse at the beginning. I should be numb first...
We can't just start by saying that I want to kill all the landlords in the world, and then dig out the roots of the famous religion! I will clean up the landlord class and the famous religion, Taoism, and hide it in the fight for the world, everyone is his master, and slowly boil the frog in warm water...
It’s also a way! The best thing is that at the beginning of my rebellion as a rebel
, the scholars disdain to join, but this guarantees purity. As Aaron was thinking, he heard Du Longzi say: "Fellow Taoist, this method can actually recruit a few talents... But as the old Taoist said, there will be no surrender.
How can the rebellion develop rapidly, win gold and stone, and become powerful in the southeast?"
"This strategic goal is good!" Aaron looked at Du Longzi with a little surprise.
In ancient times, it was common for rebels to be illiterate, or they might not even have seen a map of the country.
Du Longzi can think of this move, he is already quite talented. However, just for this small goal, he has to accommodate the landlords and scholars, and even tolerate and even benefit them?
Aaron doesn’t want to!
Sorry, my teeth are too good, so I like to eat hard food, not soft food! So I said: "The right time is not as good as the right place.
The location is not as good as the people... Instead of thinking about Jinshi City, it is better to organize the ceremony and the Imperial College first!"
"Tai Xue?" Du Longzi asked doubtfully.
"Well, in the future, I will be too docile!"
Aaron laughed.
Fucheng.
Wang family.
"The prefect is incompetent and Fengxiang's army is courageous!"
The head of the Wang family cursed angrily and called the housekeeper: "The city was destroyed so quickly that we didn't have time to escape... The city was in chaos for the next three days after it was destroyed. Those servants who guarded the courtyard should all be heavily rewarded. They will have meat for three meals a day, so we can't treat them badly."
"As long as you survive these three days, nothing will happen!"
The Wang family is a family of Jinshi. From generation to generation, there are people who have won the imperial examination and won the title of Jinshi. Today, there are still people who are serving as officials in the court and have good names.
Moreover, the family property is not much, and the goal is not too big.
As long as those rebels don't go crazy, they won't be in trouble with themselves.
After all, if a mud-legged man wants to dominate the world, how can he do without the help of scholars like them?
It’s just that the true ‘Ming Master’ has to pay three visits to the thatched cottage.
Although I have never visited that thatched cottage three times in this life, there are similar sayings.
The head of the Wang family thought to himself, and then ordered the housekeeper: "Watch the young master, you must not go out these days!"
At this moment, the door in front was suddenly opened, and a group of expressionless soldiers walked in.
When those tall guards saw that they were officers and soldiers, their legs immediately became weak and they did not dare to fight against the army.
After all, in the common people's perception, when officers and soldiers kill people, they are enforcing the king's law!
Dare to resist the king's law, that is rebellion, and you will definitely die a good death!
A man in prison uniform came in, looked at the Wang family compound, and suddenly smiled: "Do you still recognize me?"
"Are you...Cao Man?"
The head of the Wang family suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Very good, just recognize it. Someone will kill all this family!" Cao Man's eyes turned red and he pointed at the head of the Wang family.
A Liujia divine soldier immediately stepped forward and drew his long sword.
"You...what are you going to do? I am a civil servant...my brother is a Jinshi and a Hanlin scholar!"
The head of the Wang family's voice trembled, and the sword flashed, and his head fell to the ground.
"I, Daliang, don't recognize you as a Jinshi of Dasong!"
When Cao Man saw his enemy dead, he was filled with joy and roared: "Kill, kill, kill! Don't let anyone go!"
In the palace, shouts of killing suddenly rose into the sky, making the surrounding residents terrified for the next day.
Government office.
This place has been slightly repaired and can barely be lived in. Du Longzi walked out of the main door and looked at the street. He saw groups of Liujia magic soldiers patrolling and maintaining order. Suddenly he was surprised: "Huh? The army obviously suffered a lot of losses yesterday.
Why are there so many people patrolling?"
"And...many of the faces are vaguely familiar."
"Could it be Taoism? No... Taoism and military energy are in conflict. It's impossible."
A ridiculous idea vaguely emerged in his mind, but it was immediately suppressed by Du Longzi.
He grabbed one person and asked, "Where is Taoist Master Xu Lingzi?"
The soldier looked dull and did not salute. He mechanically said: "In the city...the military camp!"
This cold feeling made Du Longzi shiver involuntarily.
As if fleeing, he arrived at the military camp in the city and couldn't help but be surprised again.
I saw that the huge school ground was filled with darkness and soldiers were everywhere!
These soldiers are divided into two groups, both of which are quite easy to identify.
Those who stand like pine trees and remain silent must be the soldiers originally trained by Xu Lingzi!
The other group of people who were confused were the local Fengxiang Army. Undoubtedly Du Longzi did a rough count and felt something was wrong.
"Even including the surrender of troops before, our army is only two thousand. Yesterday we broke the city and suffered heavy losses. Why are there three thousand here?"
As for the surrendered troops, there were also three or four thousand, but they were not taken seriously by Du Longzi.
Boom, boom, boom!
Aaron sat on the high platform and asked the soldiers next to him to beat the drum for gathering the generals.
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
The Liujia Divine Soldiers suddenly roared in unison, causing the Jiangbing soldiers' legs to tremble and their bodies and minds to be frightened.
"Today, I will establish the military system of Daliang: five people per team, ten people per ten, five ten per team, and the team will be from the ninth rank!
"Ten teams and one battalion, five hundred people, the battalion is in the eighth grade!"
"Five battalions and one capital, 2,500 people, all under command of the seventh rank!"
"There are five capitals and one army. There will be one regular general and three partial generals...the regular generals and the guerrilla generals will be of the fifth rank!"
Aaron originally wanted to make a centurion, a captain, a captain of ten thousand, etc. It would be simple and trouble-free, but then he thought it was just human behavior and had no choice but to give up.
At this time, he shouted: "Zhan Da, Hei Er, Zhang Tie, Huang Songtao, Bao Zhun, Miao Qi..."
"Meet the Taoist Master!"
A total of six elite units came out, all saluting.
"Appoint you as the commander of the camp, lead five teams of regular soldiers and five teams of auxiliary soldiers, and each of you will choose a county to attack!"
Aaron said directly.
He also discovered that although these elite units have been spiritually enlightened by the 'Tower', they still need to be with them for a long time.
The more experience you have, the richer your wisdom and emotions will be.
For example, Zhan Da, now there is no trace of a puppet at all, he is almost like a living person.
Although Aaron knows that, in the eyes of this world, he is not considered a human being because he does not provide Qi points!
It is also a helpless move to disperse the troops. Although the prefectural city is under attack, the counties are not.
Then Aaron also wanted to see the ability of these elite units to independently lead troops in combat, so that was all he could do.
Anyway, even if you die in battle, you will still have to pay your tuition fees.
After the elite unit dies in battle, even if it is resurrected, it will become an ordinary Liujia magic weapon. The previous investment will be in vain, which makes Aaron feel a little distressed.
After doing all this, Aaron rode Xiaoyu out of the military camp and met Du Longzi.
Dulongzi looked at Aaron and sighed in his heart: This is no longer an attempt to gain military power... From the establishment of the entire army, Xu Lingzi has single-handedly taken charge of it. This has never happened to a powerful official since ancient times. Which king can tolerate it in the future? Suddenly
There are many worries about the future of this small regime.
Aaron didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Dulongzi... I asked you to choose a good time and auspicious day, as well as the ceremony of King Liang offering sacrifices to heaven and becoming king, are you ready?"
"Get ready. In three days, when the wind is calm and the sun is shining, you can worship the sky."
Du Longzi subconsciously replied: "It's just that there is a shortage of manpower...
"It doesn't matter, as long as it has a certain appearance, it doesn't need so many Confucian scholars to control the power of sacrifices."
Aaron waved his hand.
This attitude made Du Longzi smile bitterly in his heart.
The famous religion is powerful, but it overwhelms the Brahma and Taoism families.
Although this Taoist Xu Lingzi seems to want to spread Taoism to the world, this approach seems to be too much...
Taixue.
In fact, it was originally a mansion, and then it was occupied, cleared, and made available for a group of Taoist boys to live in...
After Fan Jin made arrangements for Chen Zitong's funeral, he originally thought of running away.
But silently remembering that people have no faith and no foundation, they still came.
At this time, when I arrived outside the mansion, I saw a soldier coming over and posting a list of papers with scrawled words on it.
The pen is weak, it seems to be written by a child, "Liang Guotaixue Admissions Brochure!"
A man wearing a scholar's attire next to him whispered secretly: "We scholars must have integrity, how can we succumb to thieves?"
Immediately there was a chorus of support.
Many of them were top students in the original government schools. Now that they have been kicked out, how can they look good?
Fan Jin shook his head secretly. Although Liang Jun admired enlightenment, it was hard to change his mind as a scholar. Continue reading.
The more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong.
"Enrollment requirements: Priority will be given to those who can read 100 words. Children can apply, but those with scholar status and above will not be accepted!
For the rest, regardless of household registration, even a prostitute or a beggar can apply!"
"Quickly completed in one year, he will be immediately replaced as a government official. Note: Daliang officials can be promoted to high-grade officials if they accumulate merit!"
Someone read it, looked at the former scholar, and laughed: "Ma Xiucai... No, you are no longer a scholar, but people don't want you either."
"It's an insult to elegance, it's an insult to elegance!"
Ma Xiucai's face turned red, his eyes turned white, and he almost fainted.
