I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 458 Change of Times ([-])

Guan was originally a name, but later became a clan, and then named Guanfu.

He was originally from the state of Qi, but was later captured by the Zhi family in a battle, and later became a village chief under the Zhi family's command after being educated.

Two years later, the village head became a "Xu" in the city system.

"Your order, my 'county' gathers a 'brigade' to go to Lu. Every 'township' must be recruited as soon as possible. If you don't set off in five days, the county lieutenant will be killed."

Guan Fu was gathered here, and he was very excited when he heard the first sentence his boss said.

Recruiting?
Although Yuan Country had several war zones that were erupting, they did not launch a large-scale recruitment. The troops that went to the battle were all the original private troops of various families, and there were almost no ordinary people's affairs.

In the past, wars brought harm and forced service to ordinary people.

The original country is different. There have long been examples of recruiting ordinary people to the battlefield. Not only did they not have any resistance in their hearts, they even seemed to be cheering.

Not because of anything else, but because of being qualified to become a soldier and being able to make contributions on the battlefield.

Many people exchanged the heads of their enemies for land, houses, and slaves just because they were qualified to go to the battlefield, and they have lived a life of masters since then.

Instead of owning no real property, why not go to the battlefield and fight for it?Unless someone is extremely afraid of death, no one will panic when they are recruited. On the contrary, they will only cheer after being recruited.

"Going to Ludi now, you are the leader of a 'pawn', and I hope to serve the king and make contributions to the country!"

"promise!"

Guanfu is happy for one thousand and ten thousand!
It's just that they are clear that they are not the same as the first batch of people who went to the expedition. They can only be regarded as second-line troops.

However, under the social background of the original country is still militaristic, as long as they can go to war, it is enough.Even if you don't have the opportunity to join the battle on the frontal battlefield, going to the garrison can be regarded as adding a resume, which may benefit you in the future.

What Guan Fu had to do was to go down to the countryside, notify the past one by one, and then bring the recruited people back to the city to report.

"Who will you fight with when you go to Lu this time?"

"I heard that he is from Lu?"

"Is it from Chu or Zheng?"

"I don't know."

The season has entered the middle of autumn, and the autumn harvest in many places has already ended.

It is difficult for ordinary people to know the changes in the overall situation of the country. Sometimes, even when they are on the ground, it is not clear who the enemy is for a while.

As Guan Fu, who has personally experienced the great era, listening to the conversation of Paoze while on the road, he felt too much emotion in his heart.

Yuanguo began to implement the system of prefectures and counties, and Qidi happened to be the area where prefectures and counties were fully established. Many people have not yet adapted to it, and those who have adapted no longer claim to be from Qidi, but talk about which county or county they are from. Which township, village.

According to their understanding, only the name of an administrative unit has been added, and almost nothing else has changed. Whoever should pay the tax is the one who pays the tax, and whoever obeys the order.

This is the collapse of the system of the nobles of the original Qi State. They were included under the rule of the Zhi family, and they became counties and counties, which belonged to the rule of the Zhi family. The changes are really not big.

What about a place with nobles?The people living in the local area are automatically under the management of the nobility, and they will be loyal to the nobility, and they will also pay taxes or taxes to the nobility, so they are not directly facing the center.

In the latter case, many people will feel uncomfortable when they no longer have aristocrats on their heads.

With the implementation of the prefecture and county system, some new policies will be gradually implemented, including the new conscription policy, which covers the pawning, garrison system, and corvee service.

Taking the pawn system as an example, men from the age of 16 to 40 need to be recruited twice a year to go to the military camp formation in the county under their jurisdiction, or to conduct drills, and may eliminate nearby bandits.Calculated, it is a kind of conscripts who serve no less than three months a year.

In the case of soldiers, it is simply understood as being transferred to the frontier to serve.The service period is relatively long. Judging from the new provisions, everyone may serve as a soldier once in five years, and serve for a whole year at a time, or they may not necessarily receive a call-up order to serve in the frontier in their entire lives. .

As for the corvee?This is a novelty.In the past, the nobles could recruit labor to work without pay at any time of the year, and it was their turn to implement the corvee system, which became only once a year and no more than three months of corvée.

Relevant policies have been posted to the city gates of each city, and there are also people in the villages who go to post notices.

At the city gate where the notice is posted, someone will always read it out, and at the same time be responsible for answering questions.

In rural areas, the village head is responsible for publicity, and the relevant officials answer questions from the villagers.

This is really in line with Zhishi's consistent code of conduct. Everything will be publicized, and everyone will try to make it known. If there are doubts, there will be someone to answer them. If you find mistakes and omissions, you can even receive rewards.

Now as long as they are not too ignorant, most of them can feel that they are welcoming a new era, but they will not understand whether it is good or bad for a while.

They first gathered people from one county, and when they marched all the way to Lu, they joined forces from other counties until they reached the border of Lu State and became a force with three "divisions" of troops.

"Your Majesty's troops surrounded 'Xinzheng', and Chu Jun and a group of ministers were trapped in the city."

"I heard that Situ led an army to invade Chu, and the attack was invincible. The people of Chu have nothing to do."

"The prosperity of Dayuan's martial arts, there is no one left or right in the world. Destroy Lu, swallow Zheng, and weaken Chu, just around the corner!"

"I hate the State of Song. An dared to send troops to station in Zhengjing, and also robbed me of the food in Dayuan's mouth."

Guan Fu is already a "scholar", and the people he usually contacts have changed, and he can hear a lot of news.

Those of them who used to be village chiefs need to inform the villagers of the policies of the above, and they are not sensitive to some troubles, but they are not completely ignorant.

For example, Guan Fu should first understand the new trend of "Theory of Destiny" that has emerged since last year, and then tell the villagers.

Too high a level of morality is too difficult to understand, but cramming is not so complicated.

In Guan Fu's view, the so-called "Destiny Theory" means that if the original country wants to sweep the princes, it needs everyone to know the importance of repeatedly annexing other countries.

The "Destiny Theory" also mentioned a point of view, the people of the original country are obliged to let the Li Shu of other countries live the same happy life as themselves, which means that they need to rescue the Li Shu from the hardships of other princes.

As an original countryman, is he lucky?Everyone will use their own circumstances as a starting point.

The others, Guan Fu, don't know. He only knows that he was very unhappy when he was a native of Qi. After he became a native of the original country, he became a member of an interest group. He had houses, fields, and slaves. Can you say you are not happy?

What is the most important thing?Ceilings were shattered above the heads of ordinary people.This alone is an epoch-making change!
