Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 252 The Dazed Yunchang
For example, officials at the county level must be ministers and scholars appointed by the state of Wu. For the rest of the low-level officials in townships, pavilions, and villages, Qingji can allow locals to serve.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

At this moment, Dazai Jizha spoke.

"Uncle, but it doesn't matter."

"Sun Wu and Wu Zixu destroyed the country of Gumi, broke a sentence and had no city, and made great achievements. However, the two of them arbitrarily faked the king's order and canonized Wuzhong as the king of Gumi country. I am the Marquis of Wu State, with [-] households in the city, and the title of Da Sima Shimai. There are five hundred households in the city of food."

"Is it an act of arrogance to reward others on behalf of the king?"

Ji Zha had such worries in his heart.

Hearing this, Qingji smiled lightly, and said: "Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are good at specialization, and rewarding others on behalf of the widow, there is indeed a suspicion of usurping. However, the widow adds the title of Sun Wu to the governor, and he has the right to kill first and then play!"

"It's not inappropriate for Sun Wu to offer rewards for persuading the enemy to surrender without bloodshed."

"This……"

Ji Zha hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this trend cannot last long. If the generals who lead the army in the future can be good at specialization and reward others for the king, is it true that our country of Wu is not a king or a minister, and ministers or ministers?"

"If the widow refuses to admit it, who am I?"

Qingji just chuckled.

Hearing this, Ji Zha immediately felt relieved.

Qingji has its own claim!

Generals like Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, who lead the army outside and have a lot of power, are indeed against the rules to reward others for the king.

However, Qingji can also deny it!
Of course, Qingji didn't go to such an outrageous level.

With several hereditary and irreplaceable titles, plus hundreds of households, Qingji is still willing to make a move.

After all, this can greatly reduce unnecessary casualties of Wu Jun soldiers!
The big deal is that in the future, Qingji will find an excuse to depose his title and take back his eunuch.

……

After Wu Zixu led the army to capture Juwu City without bloodshed, it marked Wu's victory in the war of destroying Vietnam.

As the king of Wu's celebration, it is natural to distinguish rewards and punishments, and reward those who have made meritorious deeds.

Grand Sima Sun Ping, who made great contributions to resisting Chu, was a noble and high-ranking minister, added food to [-] households in Yihong, rewarded him with [-] taels, and bestowed [-] mu of fertile land.

Sun Wu, the imperial historian, a noble official, has [-] households in Kuaiji, the food town, a reward of [-] taels, and [-] acres of fertile land.

Tingwei Wuyuan, a noble doctor, has [-] households in Kuaiji, Shiyi, rewards [-] taels, and grants [-] mu of good land.

Wei Wei Xiong Zidan, a senior doctor, added food to three hundred households in Wudu, rewarded five hundred taels, and bestowed five hundred acres of fertile land.

Lang Zhong Ling Heifu, a noble doctor, added food to [-] households in Wudu, rewarded [-] taels, and bestowed [-] mu of fertile land.

The rest of the officers and men all have their own rewards!

Wars cost a lot of money and land.

As far as Wu Guo is concerned, every time a war is fought, a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources must be invested.

It's good to win, but once defeated, Wu will be unable to breathe for several years!

In the Battle of Destroying Vietnam, Wu State completely won, but Qing Ji was a little bit pained by the awarding of so many meritorious soldiers.

Not to mention the officials and nobles, the food, gold, and fertile land are all real things!

Fortunately, the state of Wu has gained enough benefits, and Qingji naturally wants to share it with Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Hei Fu and other meritorious ministers.

Otherwise, who is willing to work hard for Qingji?

The soldiers followed Qingji to throw their heads, sprinkle their blood, and put their heads on their belts to kill the enemy and serve the country. Isn't it for real things like fields and money?

However, Qingji couldn't help but feel a sense of worry in rewarding meritorious soldiers like this.

Why?

Because the state of Wu is under the king, the highest rank is Shangqing.

From high to low, the titles of Wu State are Shangqing, Shangdafu, Zhongdafu, Xiadafu, Shi, exactly the same as Jin, Qi, Song, Wei and other Central Plains countries.

There are only two Shangqing in the state of Wu, one is Sun Ping and the other is Jizha, and there is no room for promotion.

After that, if they make contributions, Qingji can only reward them food, fertile land and money.

Not capped!

Ministers like Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Hei Fu are already top officials, and wars in Wu will be more frequent in the future.

Qingji can't always reward food, fertile land and money, can he?

Such rewards are indispensable, but Qingji always feels that something is missing.

Military merit system!
Correct!
It's the military merit system!

If the meritorious officers and soldiers make great achievements, Qingji can also use the titles in the military merit system to confer titles, improve their treatment, and reward some money and food.

It's not that Qingji is so stingy, but Wu Guo's conditions are limited.

The original lords have not been deprived of their fiefs, and now there are so many more lords with food towns. Although they are not hereditary replacements, they are enough for Wu to drink a pot!

Immediately, Qingji set up Kuaiji prefectures in Gumi and Guyue, appointed Prime Minister Zuo Wenzhong as the prefect, Keqing Kongqiu as prefect, and imperial historian Sun Wu as prefect.

Garrison [-] troops in Kuaiji County to prepare for any eventuality.

……

When the news that Wucheng surrendered without a fight and the Yue Kingdom was completely destroyed reached Yunchang's ears, Yunchang couldn't help but lose all hope, angry and remorseful, so anxious that he fainted for a while.

"Evil thief! Evil thief!"

Yun Chang, who woke up from the bed, was stupefied, pulled out the saber hanging by the side, and slashed at the table on one side with the sword.

While slashing with the sword, he was still cursing viciously.

"Shimai! God-killing villain! Surrender without a fight! Live up to my trust! I will never die with you!"

"Kill! Kill you!"

As if in hysteria, she agreed, her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot, which made people panic when they saw it.

The nearby servants did not dare to approach, and could only watch from afar.

Yun Chang scolded again: "Zhuzi! Qingji Zhuzi! You have no faith in your words, and you will destroy my Yue Kingdom! Destroy my ancestral temple and sacrifice! Even if I turn into a ghost, I will not let you go!"

"kill--"

"puff!"

Out of breath, Yun Chang spit out blood from his mouth, his eyes were blackened, and he fell straight on the floor again, fainting.

Gou Jian and Lu Ming, who entered Wu as ministers together with Yun Chang, hurried into the room and helped Yun Chang to lie down on the bed again.

After going through this toss, Yun Chang's mood stabilized more or less.

However, his seal was black, his eyes were cloudy, and his lingering anger looked like an old lion.

The well-informed Lu Ming can roughly guess that Yun Chang's time is numbered!
After all, Yun Chang, who has always been proud and arrogant, was forced to become a minister of Wu, humiliating like a dog and begging for mercy from his enemies. Not to mention, the Yue Kingdom is still being destroyed by the Wu people.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, how could Yun Chang not be annoyed?

Hurt your body!

"Qingji, Zhuzi...Zhuzi, I'm going to kill you."

Yun Chang, who has been reduced to this point, is still muttering in his mouth, babbling.

"Great... Your lord, be careful with your words."

Lu Ming sighed helplessly.
