As a Jinshi, and a Jinshi in the Jia Section, and also served as an admonishment officer in Taiwan, Gao Ruona, who thought he was well-informed, was completely stupid now. "Am I so popular?"
Looking at the crowds of people in front of him, Gao Ruona asked himself.
Of course, he had also served as a local official, and he considered himself to be an upright official. At least he had not embezzled the money of ordinary people. Even when he was the magistrate of Shanghe County, he once rented the land allocated to him by the state for free.
Tenants were given to the local poor to farm the land.
I didn’t even ask for a grain of rice.
Because he has great ambitions and doesn't want to get his hands dirty because of money.
However, that was at least ten years ago.
Since he was appointed magistrate of Shanghe County, transferred back to Bianjing and appointed as a supervisory censor, he has been serving as a left-selected civil servant for the nobles in the central government.
From Zhi Jian Yuan to the Minister of Punishment, he has become a minister of the two systems.
If it weren't for Fan Xiwen's pressure, he would never have become a military official.
Therefore, Gao Ruona, who had always been confident, became unconfident for the first time in his life. He said to Liu Yongnian, who was also riding a horse beside him: "Brother Jun Xi, you once served as the general manager of the Yongxing Army..."
"Are these people here because of your reputation?"
The Yongxing Army is under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Prefecture on Shaanxi Road. A few years ago, after Liu Yongnian killed the Shaanzhou thieves Guo Miaoshan Group, he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Yongxing Army and actually served as the military commander of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
.
"Unlikely..." Liu Yongnian shook his head. He was a relative, and his local position was very short-lived. What's more, when he served as the general manager of the Yongxing Army, he was only eighteen years old. He had no time and time to establish his prestige.
ability.
The two then looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the crowd of people in front suddenly made a roar, and all of them knelt down, shouting: "The common people have seen the commander-in-chief, and he rules..."
Gao Ruona and Liu Yongnian hurriedly stepped forward and returned the greeting in a panic: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I really don't dare to show my love to my parents..."
But before they finished speaking, the Qinzhou elders in front had already asked: "Commander, Marshal, does Grandpa Tang have something to tell the Marshal to bring to us?"
What's more, someone asked loudly: "Gao Dashuai, can you bring the holy method of vaccination by Grandpa Tang Wang?"
Therefore, Gao Ruona and Liu Yongnian understood instantly.
This Qinzhou elder was not here for the two of them at all.
They came here to greet them because they heard that they were ministers of the Tang Dynasty.
This made them breathe a sigh of relief, but also felt a little bit disgusted.
But fortunately, they were all veterans of the officialdom and adjusted immediately.
Gao Ruona cupped his hands and said: "I dare not hide it from my father. Before his departure, His Highness the King of Tang did instruct us and other ministers to be sure to say hello and pay tribute to the elders of Qinzhou... His Highness said that fathers and elders are like water, and ministers are like fish. We and others
Up and down, we should work together with the elders of Qinzhou to build a relationship between fish and water..."
Liu Yongnian also nodded and said: "What General Manager Gao said is absolutely..."
Then, the crowd immediately cheered: "Grandpa Tang Wang is benevolent! Grandpa Tang Wang is benevolent!"
At this moment, Liu Yongnian finally understood why His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty had such strict requirements for the recruitment of soldiers in the Grenadier Army and such strict requirements for military discipline.
He and the Grenadier Army represent the face and external image of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
If military discipline is not strictly enforced and discipline is strictly enforced, if there is any flaw during the expedition, it will cause trouble for the emperor's heirs and taint the holy bow.
And once something like that happens, Liu Yongnian can't make up for it even if he dies ten times.
Therefore, Liu Yongnian made up his mind that while stationed in Qinzhou, he must strictly implement all the regulations of His Highness the King of Tang.
The grenadiers must starve to death without looting, freeze to death without demolishing houses.
Just like His Highness' instructions, we must mingle with the common people and establish a harmonious relationship between the army and the people.
This presents no difficulty to the Grenadier Corps.
Because the treatment of the Grenadier Army is very good, even so good that it is enviable by outsiders.
The two commanders he brought to Qinzhou were recruited from the best of the three yamen forbidden armies.
This expedition also comes with a subsidy called expedition allowance.
Low-level Jianyong can also receive an additional regular allowance every month, a subsidy that can make rice polished with one stone.
Those with moderate strength and courage can receive a subsidy of fifteen hundred yuan, one piece of cloth, one stone of polished rice, and three kilograms of dried fish.
As for the superior Jianyong, there are two extra coins, two shi of polished rice, and five kilograms of dried fish.
These things will be distributed to each soldier's designated family member on time and on time on a monthly basis together with military pay.
Moreover, it was personally supervised by His Royal Highness the King of Tang and executed by Gan Zhaoji.
A copper coin or a grain of rice will not be sent out by mistake, missed or withheld.
The superior treatment and generous military pay make the Grenadier Army a noble force that surpasses the previous four armies.
Naturally, the morale is high, the training is hard, no one is lazy, the discipline is strict, and everyone wants to climb up - the path for the Grenadier Army to rise is smooth.
Not only every soldier can pass the assessment every month and be promoted from low level to medium and high level of fitness and bravery.
You can even pass military merit or exams and be promoted to a non-commissioned officer.

"Ministers of the Emperor Song Ting..." In the crowd, several businessmen-looking people looked at Gao Ruona and Liu Yongnian from a distance, then took out a booklet from their arms and began to compare it.
"Gao Ruona, Liu Yongnian..."
"found it……"
"Gao Ruona is the minister of the two systems of the Song Dynasty, and he has the power to judge the minister of justice...Huh? How did he become a military minister?"
"Liu Yongnian is Liu Congde's son...a relative..."
"But, what is the so-called Grenadier Army?" These people's eyes looked at the Song Army troops entering the city.
"At most there are more than a thousand people, only two or three commanders..."
"Song Ting specially sent such a force to Qinzhou..."
"What do you want?"
They fell into deep thought.
"Report this to Wu Zu immediately!" A person who seemed to be the leader said: "Song Ting will not make mistakes without aim, and will not do such bluffing things..."
This is a fact, and it is also the consensus reached by Dangxiang and Song Ting over many years of dealing with each other.
In the eyes of Dangxiang people, the senior officials of the Song Dynasty were innocent and simple young men.
Often, they only needed to use a little trick to trick the Song Dynasty ministers who were well-read in poetry into believing it was true.
Even if he was sold by them, he would still help them count the money.
That is to say, Li Shibin, the iron-walled minister, and Zhong Shiheng, who is now in Qingjian City, are cunning and cunning. They often take advantage of the party members' trust in the ministers of the Song Dynasty, deceive their feelings, and tarnish their innocence. It is really hateful!
Fortunately, in so many years, there has only been one Li Shibin and one Zhong Shiheng.
