Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 166

After all, the county army system is not a regular Weifu army, even with 500 men, it is only at the same level as the leader of the Fubing team with 50 men.The leader of the 50-member county army doesn't even have a rank.

But the fourth child is very satisfied after taking a loose step from the ninth rank. According to him, his fourth brother finally leaped out of the farmer class, entered the official career, and became an official. The noble class.

Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the case. Although the relatively casual class only enjoys a little treatment from the privileged class, after all, they will not be registered as households in the future, and they can not pay rent, pay taxes, or serve Yaoyao. The benefits are not a little bit.

"I'm a ninth-rank casual rank now, so I'm not suitable to be a judicial assistant anymore? I'm an official now, so it's not suitable to be an official anymore, right?"

The fourth child asked Luo Cheng with a sassy face.

"Strictly speaking, you are not an official yet, you are only granted official positions with scattered ranks, and you have neither salary nor position."

The Sanjie in the Sui Dynasty was different from the Sanjie started in the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Sanjie was divided into civil and military ranks, and the Wu Sanjie had the nature of military ranks, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty paid attention to the ranks first and then the ranks. For official positions, the loose officials in the Tang Dynasty were of this rank, and salaries were issued according to their rank.

But the Sui Dynasty was different. The Sui's scattered ranks did not distinguish between civil and military, and at the same time incorporated the honored officials at the beginning of the founding of the country.

Therefore, today's Sanjie in the Sui Dynasty is actually different from the common people, who can enjoy some privileges, but the Sanjie without official positions is not much more powerful than Baiding.

Of course, it is good to have a loose rank, at least it is considered a half official, first of all, it can be exempted from taxation, and secondly, in terms of criminal law, the treatment of casual officials and service officers is the same, if grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters , wife, children and grandchildren commit crimes below, can be reduced by one class.Another one is that there are scattered ranks, and you can be qualified to serve as officials and assistants. For example, prefectural and county recorders, city orders, warehouse governors, Lizheng, Zuoshi and other positions are eligible to serve.

Another point is that bigamy was prohibited by law in the Sui Dynasty. That is to say, if you are a white man, you are not eligible for three wives and four concubines, not even the right to take concubines.Unless you are 50 or [-] years old and have no children, you will have the opportunity to take a concubine.

But if you have loose orders, you can take concubines.

Even a little bit, if there are scattered grades, you can also increase the amount of fields you own according to the grades.Although the land will not be awarded to you directly, but if you have money, you can buy it yourself.Normally, a Baiding can only own a hundred acres of land at most, but after having Sanjie, the number of fields owned by different grades increases greatly, and he can become a landlord.

Also exempt from taxation.

In addition to conferring officials and ranks, Luo Cheng and others also received a lot of money and silk rewards.

After all, for such a great achievement in suppressing the chaos, Luo Cheng, who is the vanguard, naturally received the most rewards. He received the rewards of twenty slaves, two horses, one hundred coins and three hundred pieces of silk.

There are many rewards, and Zhang Xutuo specially invited them for him.

And the fourth class also had their own rewards. Luo Cheng had given them rewards before, but those rewards were given out from the confiscations, which were considered internal rewards from the county barracks, but this time they belonged to the imperial court.

Zhao Gui, Lao Si and other team leaders basically get a hundred guan rewards, while the county soldiers and township warriors below are relatively rare, unless those with first-level merit can get a few thousand dollars each, the rest are mostly rewards. A reward of several hundred dollars.

But in any case, this is also an extra reward, and everyone is very happy.

And from the county to the county, they didn't withhold their reward money, and they paid out as much as they should.

The reward of one hundred strings is already a lot of money. Even the team leaders like the fourth child have received rewards several times before, but they are still very excited.Half a year ago, everyone was poor, but now, everyone is wealthy.

The fourth child even clamored, "I won't hand over any money this time. I want to buy land. I will buy all the land for a hundred guan. I will be married soon. After marriage, we will separate and live separately. You have to buy some farm property."

Luo Cheng didn't object this time, "It's a big deal to start a family and start a business, and you should separate after marriage. How about it, I'll pay you to build a new yard next to our house, and it will be your wedding gift. "

A larger courtyard, even if it is in the country, must cost tens of thousands of dollars. Luo Cheng's congratulatory gift made the fourth brother flattered.

"Fourth brother, when you get married, little five will build a yard for you, and I, the third brother, will give you a complete set of furniture in the yard and house!" The third child is also very generous.

Xiao Liu said, "Fourth brother, if you marry sister-in-law, I will give you a cow, no, two."

The fourth child was a little moved and said, "It's better to be my brother."

Speaking of which, Luo Cheng has indeed saved a sum of money now. He was rewarded with four hundred guan before, and this time he has to be rewarded with [-] guan and [-] bolts of silk. Last time, he also rewarded him with twenty slaves. Reward twenty.

Although the [-] mu of land allocated last time was taken back, now that Luo Cheng has an official ninth-rank official, the official Yongye farm and the [-] mu of official land still have to be given.

Luo Cheng still has a lot of surplus in his hands to repay the hundreds of guan owed for buying the land before.

Brother-in-law Zhao Gui and the others all said that they wanted to buy land first, then build a new house, buy cattle and horses, and everyone had nothing more to pursue.

To make money, of course, the first thing to do is to buy land. Land is the most reliable and valuable thing for people in this era, especially those who used to be ordinary people. When doing business, there will be losses, and doing business may lose money. , but the fields will not go away, and there will be income every year.

Even if the income does not seem high, it is stable.

These days, to people like Zhao Gui, land is like real estate in the eyes of later generations. Rich people don't have to think about it, just buy a house first.

"You said that we have solved such a big case of cattle theft and slaughter gangs this time, can we also be awarded an official based on our merits?"

"If you solve a case, you want to be awarded an official. Do you think that an official position is so cheap? But I can award you an official, Luo Cunxiao. Since you have always performed well, I now officially appoint you as the commander of the first brigade of the Zhangqiu County Barracks. From now on, you will be in charge of two teams of 100 men, the Hook and Sickle Team and the Long Spear Team."

"Tch, this brigade commander is no different from the team leader, and it won't be an official position." The fourth child didn't quite appreciate it.

"don't want?"

"I want it, I want it." The fourth child didn't dare to pretend anymore. In fact, he has always been an official fan, even if he is not an official official, but the brigade commander is also in charge of a hundred brothers, and he is much better than the captain.

"Awarded the post of Captain of the First Regiment of the Luo Siye County Barracks."

The fourth one gave up, "Why am I the brigade commander, and the third is the captain? Why is he still above me? Could it be that he has done more than me?"

"Because he is more prudent than you. Whenever you can learn to be more prudent, I will also appoint you as a captain. Now, for the time being, you should feel wronged and become a brigade commander."
