Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 202 Leisure ([-])

Li Yanling had just returned from the Yamen, and met Zhu Shuzong, the coach of the capital at the door, and had a casual chat.

As the old man Yuan Cong of the Dingnan Army, they are basically sitting in the rear now. If there is no accident, they will not have the opportunity to go out.

Li Yanling was fine, he was not very interested in fighting, he just wanted to enjoy wealth in peace and security.Now the commander-in-chief has asked him to serve as a military envoy, and set up a separate department, which is paid according to the standard of Jiedu deputy envoy, with a monthly salary of 15 yuan. He is quite satisfied.

Zhu Shuzong is different, he is still young.However, because of his comprehensive abilities, it is not easy to give him the power to lead the army after he becomes the commander of the capital.After all, you trained this army by yourself, if you give the right to lead troops to go out, it will be out of control.

The system developed by the imperial court and the towns is the result of continuous trial and error. The military envoys, coach envoys, and government officials represent the separation of logistics, training, and command.Although it is still impossible to eliminate the chaos because of the military atmosphere, at least it has restrained it from the institutional level.Marshal Shao has a high prestige, and no one in the town dares to rebel, but he will not take the initiative to destroy the system.

Zhu Shuzong also received the salary according to the standard of Jiedu deputy envoy, which was much higher than that of ordinary generals. The commander also gave him a court he played.According to gossip, it was not possible to do so. During the banquet with Li Shao, the commander-in-chief drank too much, mentioned the old things in Hedong, and bluntly said that he was ashamed of Zhu Shuzong.I heard that Zhu Shuzong had a daughter who was about the same age as his eldest son, and planned to be an in-law.

Li Yanling felt that this matter was hard to say, as it seemed true and false.Zhu Shuzong's influence in the army is definitely much higher than that of ordinary generals. It seems reasonable for the eldest son to marry Zhu's daughter.

Zhu's luck is really good!
After bidding farewell to Zhu Shuzong, Li Yanling sighed with emotion, turned around and stopped at the gate of a house.

"The commander-in-chief is still inside?" Li Yanling asked.

Li Renfu, the deputy general of the personal army, glanced at him, but didn't answer at all.

domineering!arrogant!No one in sight!Today's juniors are becoming more and more impolite.

Li Yanling took a deep breath, retracted her increasingly fat belly, and stood aside quietly waiting.

In the courtyard, Shao Shude leaned comfortably in the bathtub.

Tuobapu endured the discomfort, and he and Meizang Miao'e helped him scrub.

"This bathtub is not too small, why is it still a bit cramped?" Shao Shude held Tuoba Po with his left hand, and twisted his right hand unconsciously.

Wuzang Miao'e's breathing was a little short, and even the slender hands that were scrubbing were trembling.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied now?" Wuzang Miao'e wanted to avoid it, but she didn't dare, so she had to talk to divert her attention.

Tuobapu blushed on the side.In fact, she has a cowardly personality, not at all like the daughter of the Tuoba family.She begged her father to be released several times before, but she mustered up her courage.This time she got what she wanted, she let go of a big worry, and her sister-in-law whispered in her ear from time to time, and she was willing to do anything immediately.

The Tuoba family is innocent, except for those who fled.

In fact, the little girl is still a little worried about her elder brother Renfu, not knowing where he has gone.But she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she was already a concubine of the Shao family, even if she was a housewife.

"Toba Sigong led 2000 people to flee westward, then northward, and was accepted by the Tatars." Shao Shude said suddenly.

The aunt and sister-in-law suffocated at the same time.

"They have the strength and can fight, and they are living a good life. Tuoba Renfu also married a bride and helped the Tatars conquer the Uighur tribes that have a gap with them. They will not return to the south in a short time."

Hearing that Tuoba Renfu was newly married, for some reason, Wuzang Miao'e let out a sigh of relief.From now on, I can serve the King with peace of mind.However, she couldn't bear it and asked, "Who did he marry?"

"The daughter of a Tatar chieftain." Shao Shude replied.

Did not hide Miao'e's silence.

Shao Shude also embraced her.Wuzang Miao'e leaned into his arms, and Tuobapu stepped aside with a wink.

******
After eating the lunch made by his aunt and sister-in-law, Shao Dashuai walked out refreshed.

"Master." Li Yanling stepped forward.

"Well, let's go." Shao Shude waved his hand and left under the guard of his own soldiers.

This house is nominally owned by Li Yanling, but in fact it has been occupied by people from the Department of Public Security.Before that, the whole family of the Tuoba family was imprisoned here, and now they are all released, and part of their property has been returned so that they will not live on the streets.

Tuoba Sijing, who used to be very tough in front of him, now looks depressed, just like the once mighty Tuobabu.

Digging rivers, digging coal, and building roads exhausted their physical strength.And Shaw's prosperity completely broke their spirits.Under the current situation, is it necessary to hold on to past grievances?The king of Lingwu County has graciously not pursued it, so what right does Tuoba have to show his temper?
And the strength of the tribe is also very different from the past.Many people died of hard labor for more than two years, and many people changed their careers to make a living in the mines, even though their sins had been forgiven.

A more realistic question is, where is the pasture?Where are the cattle and sheep?
Everyone knows that it was Tuoba Pu, the daughter of Tuoba Sijing, who sacrificed herself to serve the king of Lingwu County, and repeatedly "cry blood and remonstrate", which made the king of Lingwu County order an amnesty.It would be great if I could find a pasture for everyone, then everyone would owe her love.

As for Tuoba Sigong and others, everyone has long since denied it.Even if a Tuoba family's flesh and blood is required to inherit the tribe, it can only be a child of Tuobapu, otherwise everyone will not accept it.

"In a few days, go to Suizhou and Yinzhou. The warehouse city over there has been built, and see if there is any shortage of military rations inside." Shao Shude said to Li Yanling.

The military envoys actually overlapped with the shogunate's Sakura magistrate, but they are now clearly separated.

Under the military envoy's yamen, two departments, the Arsenal Division and the Transshipment Division, are temporarily set up to be responsible for the storage, transshipment, and distribution of military supplies.The original Sicang magistrate will only be in charge of civil matters.

The official system of Guochao actually has great flaws. There are few officials and the coverage is insufficient. Therefore, a large number of temporary missions have to be created to be responsible for various affairs.Over time, these missions have become permanent, but still very confusing.

Shao Shude has no right to change the prefectural and county official system, but he wants to change the shogunate official system.Take your time without causing more confusion.The current major move is to set up a second marching Sima. In the future, the left and right marching Sima will each manage a business, divide power, and be responsible to themselves.

The number of subordinate judges and Kongmu officials should also be increased.The previous system was too rough, a judge was in charge of one thing and another, and sometimes the two things in charge were irrelevant, which was too much.This time, we want to develop in the direction of refinement and specialization, and more and more people just come to vote for us, and some of them are assigned positions.

Zuo Xingjun Sima is still Wu Lian, in charge of the six departments of Collection Department, Yingtian Department, Zhidu Department, Medicine Department, Exchange Department, and General Affairs Department. In the future, it will be decided whether to continue to increase departments according to the situation.

The Sima of the Right Marching Army has not yet been selected, and he will be in charge of the four departments of General Operations Department, Camp Construction Department, Stable Animal Husbandry Department, and Listening Department.

In addition, the Yamen of the Lifan Yuan was established, with one principal and two deputy principals to handle the affairs of the Fan Ministry and be directly responsible to themselves, with great authority.

There are so many Tibetan tribes in the seven prefectures of Dingnan, and it is really outrageous that there is no special person to deal with them.Shao Shude, the head of the Lifan Academy, planned to let one of Yeli Jingchen and Wuzang Qingxiang do it.

Originally, it was not suitable for the head of the Tibetan tribe to take up this position, but who made me really lack talents who are proficient in both Han and Tibetan affairs?Those people under him, to put it bluntly, not many party words are as good as themselves.

Yeli Jingchen and Wuzang Qingxiang are both relatives-in-law and sophisticated, so they probably wouldn't go too far.Their vision, this meeting should no longer be limited to their own tribe.

After much deliberation, it was finally decided that Ye Li Jingchen would do it. Who asked his daughter to give birth to him.

There are now four yamen under the shogunate, including military envoys, Lifan Yuan, and left and right marching Sima, and the organization is being enriched little by little—well, it seems that the expenditure is also expanding little by little, but this is necessary.Governing internal affairs requires a well-developed and professional bureaucratic system, which inevitably leads to the expansion of bureaucratic institutions.

"Marshal, is this preparing for going north?" Li Yanling asked after walking for a while.

This is something that he, who is a veteran, can ask, and it is not appropriate to change to other people.

"Northern tour of Yinshan, a certain plan to go to Zhenwu Army." Shao Shude said.

Li Yanling immediately understood.That is to start from Xiazhou, go northeast to Yinzhou, then go north to Linzhou and Shengzhou, and then cross the river to Zhenwujun City.

If they moved to Lingzhou in the future, they would take a boat from Huaiyuan County and go down the river, passing through Fengzhou to Zhenwu Army.That seems to be more convenient, faster, and logistically able to support more troops.

"After checking the grain reserves in Sui and Yinzhou, explain to Qiang Quansheng." Shao Shude ordered again.

Qiang Quansheng is now transferred to the grain envoy, responsible for the logistics of the army, and directly corresponds to Li Yanling in terms of business.

"As ordered."

"Let's go to the pasture to shoot." Shao Shude said.

　You have so many associations with a name. . .I am convinced.

　　The names of the two children have been changed.In ancient times, there were many marshals who named their children Shouye and Jiye at the same time. Why haven't they seen as many people as you think. . .
