Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 1090
Chapter 1100
After Wang Meng made up his mind, he immediately summoned Li Yuanshao, colonel of the imperial guards who extended Anxi officials.He ordered him to start searching for the murder weapon and the bloody clothes throughout the camp.

After Li Yuanshao took the order, he took three thousand soldiers to the camp to find the murder weapon and the bloody clothes.Wang Tanzhi said: "I'm afraid there will be no results for the chief supervisor to do this!"

"Such a trick, I'm afraid it won't be able to hide from a real wise man!" Wang Meng said with a smile: "But doing so can cause some confusion and make the murderer mess up. If the murderer has poor concentration, this will have the best effect. !"

Wang Tanzhi said: "Is the chief supervisor here, to startle the snake?"

"Probably!" Wang Meng said, "The murderer must still be in the camp, but the real mastermind might be thousands of miles away. The murderer is dormant, how can I arrest them? It's okay if the murderer doesn't move now." , once it moves, the chief supervisor can follow the clues and find out the real culprit!"

"It's reasonable!" Wang Tanzhi said with deep conviction, "It's just that if you startle the snake with grass, you can only startle the big stupid snake. This strategy will definitely have no effect on the cunning fox!"

"Wendu, what you said is too polite. In fact, it will definitely not be effective!" Wang Meng said with a smile: "We have nearly 2 horses, and the camp stretches for nearly ten miles, and the knife used by the murderer is a military-style self-defense dagger. , there are no less than [-] similar daggers in our camp, how can we find them? As long as you become a thief, you will feel guilty. He will definitely be afraid that the murder weapon will be found out, and someone will lose the standard dagger by then, or someone will have more Dagger, then the tracking range can be much less!"

The big camp is already in chaos at this time. If it was the Ming and Song Dynasties, if the army and these Qiu Ba dared to search the tents of officials wantonly, even if there was an order, they would definitely be scolded.Fortunately, the soldiers in Wei State have always been strong, and in Wei State's national law, the crime of insulting soldiers and soldiers is the same as insulting gentry, and the end is very serious.

Although the clothes and belongings were turned into a mess, no one dared to speak.After all, this murder case is too bad. Since he can kill 11 people overnight, who can guarantee that he will not continue to kill again?For the sake of their own lives, these Anxi officials are very cooperative.

In the officialdom and politics, there are no eternal enemies and friends. Of course, it depends on whether it is hostility or goodwill, mainly depends on the environment and interests.Ran Yan suddenly discovered that no matter how well he did in Wei, without the support of the military, even if he became a prince, he would still be a rootless prince and a soulless prince.Therefore, he must be recognized by the military.

But now Ran Ming did not allow him to formally join the army, but once he intervened in military affairs, it would arouse Ran Ming's resentment instead.In the process of this (prince) competition, Ran Ming is the only one who sets the rules. Even if he wants to fight, he cannot break the rules set by Ran Ming, otherwise getting out is his only way out.

Ran Yan suddenly wondered, is there anything to exploit in the rules made by Ran Ming?After thinking about it carefully, Ran Ting really found a loophole to take advantage of.

Wei State's military mansion is such a loophole. The real purpose of Ran Ming's setting up the mansion is not to garrison troops, but to immigrate to the frontier.Wei people are not interested in immigrant states, because in the Central Plains, there are a lot of climate and employment opportunities.There is no real need for them to immigrate.But the Wei people all have a very high enthusiasm for joining the army to defend the country.Ran Ming took advantage of the people's enthusiasm for joining the army to serve the country, and immigrated to the border as a whole in the form of the army.

The Fubing of the Wei State is not the same as the Fubing of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.In Wei State, prefectures and counties were newly established, and each county set up a prefecture.If one county governs ten counties, then there are ten prefectures, and if there are eight counties, then there is one guard for each of the eight prefectures.Each state has an army.Therefore, the Wei State's Zhechong Duwei, Junwei, and Taishou are one level above the rank.The general of Fubing is on the same level as the governor.The military government and the county government are actually two sets of management mechanisms and two different administrative teams.

You should say that the military government is the army, right?But their main job is farming or mining, or factories, or even engineering teams.But they also participate in military training, and also participate in the annual spring and autumn exercises. Their military equipment is all eliminated from the regular army, but even though it is eliminated equipment, it is much more advanced than the surrounding tribes and countries.During the war, these government soldiers will form their own system, under the command of the regular army to fight in coordination, or fight alone.

According to the fact that Ran's official rank is the same as that of the princess, the rank is equal to that of Zhechong Mansion's record of joining the army.So after much deliberation, Ran Bin decided to join the army as a military secretary instead of being a civilian chief reporter.

As soon as he thought of it, Ran Tan immediately wrote a job transfer application to Wang Tanzhi, the governor of Chuzhou.

The court of Wei State has always been efficient, so at night, Wang Tanzhi's Chuzhou officer sent Ran Di's early request to Wang Tanzhi's case and said: "Wang Shijun, here is a memorial, please approve it! "

"Hehe!" Wang Tanzhi was a little surprised after hearing this, "I haven't arrived in Anxi, I haven't arrived in Suiye City yet, why do I have to do business!"

Wang Tanzhi opened the application and said with a smile: "This is another young man who wants to be promoted and wants to go crazy. I really don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. I really think that the military government can be like the army. It is easy to make meritorious service."

Engaged laughed and said: "Who says it's not? This man is greedy enough. He followed the envoy to Chuzhou to educate the people. Once the five-year term expires, as long as the evaluation is passable, it is not difficult to be promoted to a higher level. But the military mansion is not an army after all. , Anxi's army hasn't died yet, so it's the government soldiers' turn to fight!"

"That's not what you said!" Wang Tanzhi said: "Anxi is a new land after all, and the main forces of Anxi's army are in Mulu City (near the city of Bairam Ali in Turkmenistan today) and Jiling City (in Zabo, Iran today). In the face-to-face confrontation with the Sasanian Empire, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Chuzhou are almost in an undefended area. Therefore, the military government will be the main force to suppress the rebellion and wipe out disobedience in the past few years."

Engage cautiously said: "What does the envoy mean?"

"A sage does not show off his strengths, and a gentleman does not take what others like!" Wang Tanzhi said with a smile: "Liu Wei is determined to serve the court, how can he stop it? If it spreads, outsiders will think that Wang is intolerant degree!"

The Anxi army in Lu'an town was in the official camp, and the news had spread slowly by this time.Originally, Zhang Liangjun's chief secretary, Liu Wei, turned into a military mansion, and became the recorder of Zhechong mansion to join the army.

As a result, Liu Wei suddenly became the focus of everyone.

It can be said that although the overall strength of Wei Guoxin Jinshi is not as good as Tang and Song Jinshi, most of them are people who did not choose to join the army.It's not that they don't want to get promoted and get rich, but because joining the army means death or disability, so these people are lacking in warriors after all.

However, although the military government is not the main force in name, it still carries the banner of an army after all, and it has to fight and sacrifice blood.But Liu Bin turned his head into a military post in a flash.Isn't this the birthday star hanged himself, is it too long?
"Stupid?" Ran Yun showed a very solemn expression when he heard the news.The expression on his face is very complicated. If you want to describe it accurately, I am afraid that only the face-changing essence of Sichuan opera in later generations can be compared.Ran Bin is definitely not stupid, let alone stupid, even if he is slightly inferior, I am afraid that Ran Ming has already made a choice between him and Ran Bin.

It is difficult for Ran Ming to make a decision now because he and Ran Yun are not brothers.

Many people say that time is a butcher's knife.In fact, experience is the crueler butcher's knife, it can change everything, castrate everything, and even destroy everything.Although Ran Yun's experience is not as rich and colorful as that of Ran Ming, at least as the third generation of the royal family, he has more experience than any other prince.In the experience of living in the poor, Ran Yun understood the difficulties of the people and what the people need most.Traveling all over the country, Ran Yun clearly saw the society outside the palace, and made that straight-forward temperament with no taboos begin to become deep, dull, preoccupied, and learned the politeness and politeness of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

Ran Yun chose to approach the military power. In Ran Yun's view, this is indeed the most direct and labor-saving path.But having said that, taking advantage of loopholes is easy, will it arouse Ran Ming's disgust?Ran Yun understood that even if Ran Ming handed over all the military power in the world to Ran Tan, as long as he needed it, Ran Ming could take back all the power with a single edict.This is the essential difference.

Ran Yun didn't think about the murder around him and Ran Bin's exchange of literature and martial arts, but thought more.Suddenly Ran Yun figured it out, figured out the problem that he had never figured out before, it turned out that God treats everyone fairly.He bestowed him with a good birth and lineage, and he never forgot to arrange endless suffering for him.

Ran Yun sighed secretly, he decided not to pretend to be smart, but to follow the steps.Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise.Those who overcome others are powerful, and those who overcome themselves are strong.People value self-knowledge.

Buddha said: All living beings are suffering.Farmers suffer from peasants, craftsmen suffer from craftsmen, and scholars suffer from scholars.In fact, in this world, no one is easier than another.Rich people have money and others suffer, and powerful people also suffer from powerful people.In the state of Wei, it was actually not easy for the elites of the gentry.

It doesn't mean that if you occupy a lot of wealth and land, you will live comfortably.Every clan is composed of core disciples, collateral disciples, guest ministers, shade households and tenant households.Each gentry family has hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, just like a principality in Europe.Being the head of a powerful family is like the king of an independent kingdom. Although he enjoys wealth and glory, he also has to bear corresponding responsibilities.The patriarch of every gentry family must not only consider the political stance of the family, but also provide food and drink for everyone around the family.

Unscrupulous landlords like Zhou Papi and Huang Shiren, who are well-known in later generations, actually have no place to survive in this era.People who do business pay attention to integrity.Landlords also pay attention to word of mouth. In this simple age, every class needs very high moral standards.Not only can't do that kind of unconscionable thing, but also make a fuss about public morality.Usually building bridges and paving roads, helping orphans and widows are the things they do most.

Especially since the establishment of the Wei State, the life of the gentry family has become even more difficult.Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and set a tax system of one-fifth tax. This tax is not calculated by mu, but by one-fifteenth of the total income.In the period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, it dropped to even lower, reaching [-] tax one.That is, the tax rate is [-]%.Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty set a benchmark for future generations and set a good example, that is, if the emperor wanted to be a benevolent emperor like Emperor Wendi, the tax system would not dare to charge too high, that is, one tax per thirty.In fact, the tax officials of the Jin Dynasty also had a tax of one for thirty.However, the various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes that the counties and counties below have increased privately are as numerous as a cow's hair. When the weather is good, farmers have to pay taxes on seventy-eighth of their output.The life of the people is very difficult.However, after the reorganization of Ran Min, the state of Wei really lowered the land tax to [-] taxes, and later exempted all miscellaneous taxes and corvees, and the tax rate was reduced to [-] taxes. Greatly relieved.

With the strong competition from the imperial court, the life of the gentry began to be difficult.Although the gentry had a lot of land, the people who cultivated the land were all tenants. To put it bluntly, it was the employment relationship between the boss and the wage earners of later generations.When these gentry clan tenants have no way out, no matter how heavy the taxation is, they have to persevere. After all, survival is the greatest reason.But now the Wei State court has a large amount of land to accommodate the people, and how many farmers are willing to become self-cultivated farmers will distribute the land.Even if there is no mature land, they will lend farming tools and seeds to farmers to open up wasteland in the form of loans.

With the implementation of Wei Guoxin's farming policy, the noble families were all set on fire by the imperial court.If there is no planting for three years, the wasteland will be fined, and it will be automatically recovered after five years.In order to prevent their tenants and shade households from rebelling against them, they had to lower the land rent again and again.The key point is that the most pitiful thing in Wei State is the price of food protection. The income of a hundred acres of land is actually not as much as that of a grown-up man working. What's more, the Chinese people, who don't want to own their own land?

Wei Li was born in the Wei family of Hedong, so it can be counted as the family of Emperor Wei Zifu of Han Wu.After the great general Wei Qing, the Hedong Wei clan began to pass on Confucianism to the family. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao reused Hedong Weikai, and the Hedong Wei clan began to rise from then on.There are many celebrities in the Wei family, such as Mrs. Wei Shuowei, the first teacher of the great book sage Wang Xizhi, and Wei Jie, a famous handsome man in history, are all from the Hedong Wei family.However, in the Wei Guan era, the power was all over the government, and the Wei family, which was once prominent, has completely fallen in the Wei state.

In more than ten years, the Hedong Wei family had more than [-] tenants, tens of thousands of shady households, and more than [-] private soldiers.It is a powerful and famous family in Hedong County, but now a large number of tenants in Wei State have turned into self-cultivating farmers in Wei State, and as for more than [-] shady households, all of them have run away.Now there are only a hundred hereditary servants attached to the Hedong Wei clan.

In the past two years, the Hedong Wei family could not even guarantee food and clothing. After removing the court tax, the surplus was only five or six hundred shi of grain. Although five or six hundred shi of grain was a lot, the Hedong Wei family had enough More than 800 people, the food is not enough for even half a year.In desperation, the Patriarch Wei Xian had no choice but to dismiss the family's children.As the son-in-law of the head of the third house, Wei Li had no choice but to marry into a merchant's house alone and became a door-to-door son-in-law.

In ancient times, the door-to-door son-in-law would be chosen by the most hopeless people, because the children born to the door-to-door son-in-law will follow the wife's surname. In the eyes of ancient people, this is a big unfilial piety.However, in order to survive, the young Wei Li almost lived as a walking dead son-in-law for more than two years.

In fact, the Hedong Wei family is just a microcosm of the gentry family in the Wei state. In fact, there are many other gentry family members like the Hedong Wei family.Ran Ming led the social transformation of Wei State, and the families and powerful families who could not adapt to the new social environment and the new system could only be eliminated by the times.

As early as the end of the Warring States period, Qin Shihuang led a great social transformation, strengthened the centralization of power, and changed the vassal states into counties.In fact, the situation in the Wei state was similar to that at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The nobles were unwilling to fail, so they turned from the open side to the underground, engaging in sabotage work.

It was against this background that Wei Li was absorbed into the "organization".However, a small character like Wei Li is doomed not to become the core, but only to become a low-level small character.However, Wei Li, with hatred for the Ran Dynasty, joined the vigorous anti-Wei cause.

Although Wei Li looks handsome and gentle, in fact he is definitely a kung fu master.When Wei Li was growing up, it was the time when Zhao and Wei were intertwined, and wars were frequent.Therefore, under the deliberate training of his father Wei Yin, Wei Li specially invited martial arts, swordsmanship and equestrian masters to learn martial arts.In terms of fighting between the two armies, Wei Li's kung fu is naturally not enough, but what he has learned is the art of the rivers and lakes, which is especially suitable for close combat.

When he was in Chang'an, he woke up in a dream one day and found a black bird pattern painted with cinnabar on his pillow, followed by a dirty poem, ordering him to wait for an opportunity to create chaos among officials in Anxi.After careful comparison, Wei Li found that the patterns, secret words, and command formats were all correct, so he started his action.Originally, he wanted to poison, but it was a pity that Wang Meng adopted militarized management of Anxi officials. All the officials had canteens, food and drinking water, and they were all taken care of by special personnel. Wei Li was alone, so he couldn't do it at all.

But when he came to camp in Lu'an Town, Wei Li got a chance.Originally, when he got up at night, he suddenly found that the lights were still on in the tent of the fellow countryman next door. He also woke up from the cold and couldn't sleep.As a result, when they entered the tent, they found that the seven people in the tent had been poisoned by charcoal gas, and they had fallen into a coma.As soon as Wei Li kept doing things, he would kill him.While the seven people were half asleep and half unconscious, they killed seven people in a row.

Although Wei Li is also a martial arts practitioner, he has never killed anyone.He was also in the head when he killed someone just now, but he became afraid afterward.He left the murder scene anxiously, but when he was about to return to the tent, he was bumped into by Jun Cheng Sun Chu at night.Wei Li was born of evil, so he went to Sun Chu's tent and killed Sun Chu and the other four.
