Dajin royal family

Chapter 213 The So-Called Path

Jiang Chengxiao said: "Fang Xuanzao, the magistrate of Huang County, Donglai County, is one of his own. You can contact him secretly in the future. But I want to remind you that green salt cannot be sold to grassland people wantonly. Salt trade, try to raise the price."

Having said that, Shenju naturally understood what his master meant. He nodded and said, "Master, so far there are not many commercial routes leading to the grasslands in Shandong. If we want to trade green salt, do we need to open up a commercial route secretly?" ?”

"Of course, everything is kept secret. Also, you have to remember, if possible, try to buy purebred war horses from the grasslands to raise them, and never get castrated war horses. For me, the grasslands are the most The most precious thing is their war horses and grass seeds, these two things can be placed first when trading in the future."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, then ordered him some things, stood up and stood in the yard, and said melancholy: "The Qingzhou area will be quiet for a while, and you can take this opportunity to develop and grow here."

Although he didn't know the reason why the master let him develop here, he wouldn't ask too much, as long as he obeyed the master's order, that would be the best. "By the way, Master, just now the two owners of Juxian Village came to see me and said something, maybe the master will be interested." Shenju said with a smile, remembering what happened just now.

"Tell me about it." Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes, pretending to be having fun.

The so-called green forest heroes are nothing but rootless duckweed in the eyes of the imperial court. The reason why they exist is because of the relationship of some local big families. Generally speaking, as long as they do not break the law, the imperial court will not touch them.

Shenju said: "It is said that the brothers on the Green Forest Road in Pingyuan County and Bohai County stumbled and were caught by the officials of the court. The Green Forest Brothers in the two counties have been severely suppressed, and many brothers have absconded. They You want me to take some of them in and relieve the pressure on Juxian Village."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded and didn't take this matter to heart, it was just a small matter of fighting and killing on the green forest road, in other words, it was a small matter of black organizations being suppressed by the court.

"You can figure it out. At present, your first priority is to gain a firm foothold here. As for the Hebei area, you can figure it out. If you have spare capacity, you can also try to develop there."

"The subordinate understands and will definitely pay attention."

After finishing speaking, Shenju thought of something, "Master, Qin Yujing, who was secretly helping in Chang'an last time, wanted to thank the master face to face. This time he has returned from Pingyuan County, do you want to?"

"The one who is good at using double maces?" Jiang Chengxiao asked.

"Yes, this man's mother-in-law is extremely filial and righteous, and enjoys a righteous name on the green forest roads in Shandong." Shenju said.

Jiang Chengxiao pondered for a while, then shook his head, "No, the time has not yet come."

Now is not the time to see such recklessness, the identities of the two sides are too different, what can we say when we meet?It just adds to the embarrassment.

After meeting with Shenju, Jiang Chengxiao returned to the barracks, and before he left, he had to arrange the affairs of the soldiers.In fact, there is not much that can be arranged for the government soldiers. According to the rules of the court, there is basically not much that can be arranged for farming in leisure time and normal drills.

However, before he left, he had to make arrangements for the divine move to arrange for several brothers who entered the Fubing.The so-called arrangement is actually to give them the post of 'School Captain'.The Fubing is different from the Twelve Guards of the imperial court. The soldiers of the Twelve Guards are all soldiers registered in the Ministry of War and enjoy the imperial court's salary and related allowances.At the same time, good performance can also be promoted.

But the government soldiers can't do it. To put it bluntly, the government soldiers are militiamen, the kind of reserve soldiers.The soldiers of the Twelve Guards were not finished, and the Jin Dynasty seldom used the soldiers.Only the scabies in places like mobs can be solved by sending generals from the imperial court.

Fundamentally speaking, ordinary soldiers do not enjoy the relevant allowances of the court, they are only performing relevant obligations.The school lieutenant who is a soldier of the government is different. It is equivalent to joining the establishment and can be further promoted.

"We, thank you, General." Several newly appointed captains knelt on one knee. They were all trustworthy people sent by Shenju, so they knew very well that this was their master's cultivation.

Nan Jiyun took over the relevant appointment documents from Jiang Chengxiao and handed them over to the school captains. Jiang Chengxiao put down his pen and looked at the school captains, "You have made great contributions to suppressing the mob this time. Your Majesty trusts you, and I hope you can live up to your holy order and maintain the law and order of Qi County."

"Humble ranks, remember the general's teachings." The school captains saluted again.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, got up slowly, and said to Pei Yuanyan who was beside him: "Yuanyan, follow me around the barracks."

"Ok."

The two of them got out of the big tent and strolled in the barracks. All the soldiers passing by stopped to give Jiang Chengxiao a military salute, and then continued to do their own things.

"Yuan Yanke complained about me?" Jiang Chengxiao said as he walked.

Pei Yuanyan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that what the son said meant that he had been neglected after he came to Qingzhou. Pei Yuanyan didn't care much about it. Originally, he planned to follow what his grandfather said when he came here this time, and everything was subject to Zheng Ruyi. He just follows behind.What's more, there are some things that he doesn't particularly understand, and he doesn't particularly understand how to do it.

Just like the things in the military camp, he thought that training soldiers should be a relatively simple thing, but things went against his expectations. When he really got started, he realized that it didn't seem to be the same thing.Among them, the dispatch of soldiers and the arrangement of the army formation are not simple at all, and the armed force in the army can at most be a strong general in the army camp.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, in fact, Yuan Yan should thank you." Pei Yuanyan said: "This military experience is really rare for Yuan Yan. Yuan Yan also wants to thank you for giving me this opportunity. How dare I complain? nonsense."

Jiang Chengxiao chuckled, "Yuan Yan has a lot of strength, as long as he studies with an open mind, he may not be able to become a member of the Pei family in the future. Speaking of this, I am a little strange, and I hope Yuan Yan will not blame me, Meng Lang."

"My son, but it doesn't matter."

Hearing Jiang Chengxiao praise him for his strength and great potential, Pei Yuanyan's youthful heart was also happy for a while.

"Well, Suwen Wenxi's Pei family is a farming and studying family. The leaders in the family are all famous officials of the generation, and there are not a few history books. Why does Yuan Yan only love the army?" Jiang Chengxiao said jokingly.

Pei Yuanyan's resolute face flushed, "When I was studying in the Xiayu clan, I didn't have high qualifications, not as good as brother Ning Wen and others. It's just that I liked sticks when I was a child, so I learned martial arts from the martial arts masters in the clan."

"Then I'm a little envious of you."

There was no mockery as imagined, but a word of envy, which made Pei Yuanyan a little strange, so he quietly waited for Shizi's next words.

I could only hear Jiang Chengxiao said with emotion: "I used to be in poor health, but I didn't have the opportunity to practice martial arts. I can only bow my head to the copybook, although I yearn for the leaping horse and the whip, but I can't."

Pei Yuanyan was stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I am pursuing literature, and reading is the right way. Learning martial arts is nothing but nothing."

"Hehe." Jiang Chengxiao interrupted with a smile, "In my opinion, no matter whether it is learning Chinese or martial arts, both are equivalent. A civil servant writes a pen to secure the world, and a military general immediately decides the world. As far as the country is concerned, The two are indispensable, and the strong distinction is just a thought of the corrupt Confucianism, Yuan Yan must remember."

The military commander immediately decides the world.
Pei Yuanyan muttered silently, his eyes lit up, "No one has ever told me that, the elders in the family all say that the right way is the way."

"If Wen Dao is the only way, why didn't the imperial court send a censor to suppress the mob this time, and why let me come here to make a big fight, are you right?" Jiang Chengxiao said with a smile.

The truth is of course the truth, but Pei Yuanyan, as a member of the Shandong gentry, naturally understands the family's idea of ​​"literature first and martial arts".But he liked to hear these words very much, so he nodded and said: "Your Majesty is right, Yuan Yan has remembered it."

Jiang Chengxiao patted Pei Yuanyan on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "This suppression of the mob failed to let you show your talents. I think Yuan Yan must have regrets in his heart. If His Majesty sends me to other places in the future to maintain the stability of the Jin Dynasty, I will look for Yuan Yan at that time. Would you like to come and help me?"

To be honest, this proposal moved Pei Yuanyan very much. Just as he himself laughed at himself, the family is always more optimistic about the children with excellent talents and learning. He said that he is a martial artist, and it is not very realistic to rely on the family to get ahead.

Just thinking about the family affairs, Pei Yuanyan sighed, cupped his hands and said: "If grandfather agrees, Yuanyan will naturally be willing."

"Okay, Yuan Yan's words are enough." Jiang Chengxiao chuckled.
