Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 1229: The Privy Councilor takes office, and the new official has three fires
Chapter 1229: The Privy Councilor takes office, and the new official has three fires
Chapter 1229: The Privy Council takes office, and the new official has three things to do
Although the civil and military divisions were divided, in the Song Dynasty, civilian officials were in power. These military commanders could only rely on the high officials in the court!
If you want to be attached, the annual filial piety, tea money, etc. will naturally not be less. Do you need to rely on salary for these funds?
To be honest, the military salary in the Song Dynasty is not low, but even a full-year salary for a general is probably not enough for these senior officers to eat a few bites! What should we do in this situation?
Naturally, you will have to eat free money.
The number of local soldiers and horses ranges from about 10,000 to 20,000. When there is no war, these soldiers and horses have no tasks at all, so the number of these soldiers and horses naturally does not matter.
A force of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and five or six thousand free pay, isn't this money just coming?
As for the imperial court, there will naturally be corresponding investigations, but there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom! Every time there is a strict inspection of empty pay, these local armies have already received the news and spent some money before the imperial investigators came.
, it is really easy to find some common people at the station to make up the numbers! Even without spending money at all, just temporarily recruit some strong men to make up the numbers. It is just a show on the school field and will not really go to the battlefield. How can it be done?
What flaws are revealed?
In addition, if you check up and down, if you can find any problems, it will be strange.
And this kind of thing is almost common. Even Bian Xi's Zaoyang Army had a similar situation back then, but it was much more restrained than others.
The military pay for thousands of people is naturally a large amount in a year. Part of this money goes into the pockets of the generals, and part of it goes into the pockets of other people step by step. If it is really investigated in detail, it is estimated that the amount of money in the court will be higher than that of the generals.
None of the civil and military officials are clean.
In fact, even these petty officials in the Sixth Department could not interfere with the relationship.
After all, whoever hangs around in the court is not a smart person. Naturally, the head of a department should take the big part and give some so-called tea money and ice charcoal money to the subordinates. Not only can they win people's hearts, but they can also save people from talking too much.
tongue.
Some people even didn't know the origin of the money at all and just thought it was salary money from the imperial court.
This is why, when Zhao Shen wanted to take action in the army, he was opposed by almost everyone.
Because this involves the interests of everyone. In the eyes of these people, it is just reaching into their pockets to take out money. How can they endure it?
Why did Zhang Jun resign?
It's because Zhang Jun knows very well that not only other people can't be involved in this kind of thing, but he himself is also the same. In fact, he, the Privy Councilor, is the big one.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. Of course, Zhang Jun does not need to accept the money, but if he is really as honest as water, he will not be able to continue his work as a privy envoy, and the soldiers and horses under his command will not be able to continue.
I wouldn't be so obedient to him.
Things are just so strange and weird, there is no reason at all.
And now, Yu Yunwen, the new Privy Councilor, obviously wants to really take action in this regard. An emperor plus a Privy Councilor are enough to destabilize the power of the army. How can the army and the imperial court not panic?
Urgent letters were sent in all directions from Lin'an. This time, they were obviously serious.
You can make money later, but no matter what, you must deal with the current situation first.
Of course, the best way is to directly drag Yu Yunwen into the water. However, the interests involved are complicated, and it will obviously take a long time to compromise a reasonable charter.
While the court was in turmoil, there was another important thing going on! That was the triennial imperial examination!
There had been a slight delay due to some things before, so the autumn season was not completely over until September! Several young people with amazing talents also appeared in Chengdu Prefecture.
Among them, the one who won the top spot in Chengdu was Xiao Guoliang, who was outside the government office and said he wanted to set foot in the court and become a pawn of Shen Tang.
Chengdu is thousands of miles away from Lin'an. Therefore, after the extrication is completed, the students will prepare to go to Lin'an to save trouble in the coming year.
Outside the Chengdu government office, carriages were lined up, and groups of Confucian students wearing brand new white Confucian shirts paid respect to Hou Li!
Not long after, Tian Guanhua hurriedly walked out, stood in front of the government office, and then said loudly, "You are the proud ones of our Chengdu Prefecture, so whether we can make a name for ourselves in this scientific examination depends on you." That’s it.”
"These carriages will take you to Lin'an! You don't have to worry about anything you need to eat or drink on the way. Shao's shops all over the place will meet your needs. In addition, you will be escorted by soldiers all the way, so you don't have to worry about safety. .”
"When you arrive in Lin'an, your food and accommodation have already been arranged! Moreover, a great Confucian scholar will personally lecture to you, and the Prime Minister will also meet you in person!"
"Thank you, sir!"
All the students bowed gratefully!
However, Tian Guanhua sighed and said, "You don't need to thank me, because Master Shen has arranged these things a long time ago! I just hope you won't let down Master Shen's hard work!"
Tian Guanhua's words made all the students present look moved, and that kind face appeared in their minds again!
When Shen Tang first entered Chengdu, his first stop was to go to Fu Xue. In Fu Xue, Shen Tang made it clear that he valued Fu Xue and students! He said so and did so. Even now, even if Shen Tang They have been gone for several months, and they are still enjoying the shadow of Shen Tang! Shen Tang spares no effort to them.
Moreover, if you think about it, isn't the Shao family's business the same as Shen Tang's wife's?
Only Shen Tang could have friendship with a high-ranking official like Shi Hao and be able to invite the great scholar to lecture to them in person.
"Let's go, I'm in Chengdu Mansion, waiting for your good news to come back. When the time comes, I'll serve you a celebratory drink!"
Tian Guanhua shouted lightly!
All the students bowed and then walked onto the carriage silently.
On every carriage, there is a fragrant aroma, and there are all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. There are exquisite snacks that can be eaten at any time in the exquisite food boxes. The best tea leaves are prepared on the table, and there are even clean ones for replacement. The Confucian shirts were neatly stacked aside, and in each carriage, there was a two hundred tael silver note...
However, facing these extravagant things, few people moved! Many people took out their books and carefully unfolded the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, or wrote or read! Shen Tang said to them So, what reason do they have for not doing their best to repay?
