My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 204

Immediately afterwards, he felt an irresistible strong push from his chest, his body lightened, and his whole body flew backwards. Before he could understand what happened, he fell heavily on the ground again. On the corridor outside.

Zhou Xing flew in front of him and stretched out his foot to kick him.Cao Jian reacted very quickly at this time, and he shouted at the fastest speed in his life: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Don't do villain things."

Looking at the feet that stopped on the tip of his nose and feeling the strong wind, Cao Jian broke out in a cold sweat instantly.Then he quickly rolled over, hugged Zhou Xing's calf tightly, and repeated incoherently with tears running down his face: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! It really has nothing to do with the villain."

"Say, what's going on?" Zhou Xing asked sharply, not caring at all that he was in the county office, and the county officials on the east and west sides stretched their necks to secretly look at him from the house.

"It's a long story," Cao Jian said with a sad face, and he thought to himself that he should deal with this terrible Hades first.He didn't dare to hide it at the moment, and kept talking non-stop.

It turns out that since the third county magistrate of Bodao County was founded in the Jin Dynasty, the actual number of households and the number of households on the roster have not matched. It has not increased, but decreased.But for the county magistrate, the number of households is the key data for state and county assessments. In his tenure, the number of households has decreased, which cannot be justified anyway.So, since then, this household number has been falsified.

Hearing what he said, Zhou Xing sneered in his heart.If he hadn't listened to what Du Chou told him, he would have truly understood him.Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yizhou has been enjoying good weather and no diseases or disasters.

Reduced number of households?

This Nima must have been merged into the big family.

These situations, such as Cao Jian, the family of Cao Jian, can they not be clear?

Can the county magistrate not understand?

It's nothing more than conveying benefits.After eating and taking, one of the final data is falsified, and the blame is passed on to the next one.

Therefore, although he also sympathized with Hu Cao Cao Jian who was crying at his feet and had a trace of blood on his mouth.Whoever gets involved in this matter is unlucky. If this matter is to be investigated, it is not a matter of one or two people. It is estimated that many large households in the county are involved.

How big is this mistake?

It's really not that big.I'm really not afraid to check.The big deal is that the family is dead, that family has run away, and so on.When there is a disaster year, or when the Yong and Qin states are in turmoil, all the previous false data will be wiped out.

However, he understands it, and he knows in his heart that he must not give in.

Why do you let me take care of your small number of households?
This military service is nothing else, and the little life on the battlefield can't be controlled by oneself.

"Hmph, I'm new here, and the hearts of the people in the fief don't know what to do. If there are more than 40 heads spread out, I'm afraid that if I'm not scolded by people inside the fief and scolded by people outside the fief The words "big fool" are engraved on it."

"What, so the way you came up with is to secretly inflate my household number? Is this the way you came up with? Is it possible that I have the word "bully" carved on my face?"

"Your Majesty, the villain is wrong." Cao Jian begged for mercy repeatedly, but he said angrily in his heart: "Nimma, this is none of my business. I just follow orders. But I don't want this Gao to be so domineering. You If it's easy to discuss, what is the matter of killing people? But I don't know what kind of intention this Lord Hou has, so he has to use such a big thing to make trouble."

Zhou Xing didn't know what Cao Jian was thinking, and he didn't even think that in Cao Jian's mind, and even in the hearts of countless people, the number of heads serving in the military was really nothing.Don't say that there are dozens of people missing, it is hundreds of people. As long as the work is done properly, the county, state and state will be in charge of the matter.No big shot would come and count the heads in person.

"I don't want to care who is right and who is wrong." Zhou Xing raised his voice on purpose so that everyone in the county office could hear him: "Man, I won't have one more. How to solve the problem is your business. It has nothing to do with me. I'm not afraid of this lawsuit even if it goes to the sheriff or to the governor."

After saying this, he tossed his sleeves and left, leaving only the people in the county office looking at each other.

This majestic Lord Tinghou, tsk, is really strong in skill, but he doesn't have enough brains.

As far as this shit is concerned, who will be serious about it?
As for the following, no one cares if there are more or less.This Cao Jian must have gone out today and didn't read the almanac, it was bad luck.

After Zhou Xing made a big fuss in the county government, he rode back to his fief again.He didn't know that their county magistrate was furious in the back hall of the county government after he left, and repeatedly said that he would impeach him.Of course, the county magistrate named Zhang Meng didn't really want to impeach Zhou Xing.Firstly, he felt that he was wrong in this matter, and secondly, Zhou Xing was the son-in-law of the royal family of Jinyang, not to mention Wang Rong and Wang Yan, the two court officials, even the prefect Qianwei was also the uncle of his wife.In the end, he could only comfort himself by repeatedly saying in his stomach that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years.

Zhou Xing vented his anger, and his mood was no longer so depressed.When he returned to the fief, he suddenly found that the door of his house was full of darkness, and it was actually Du Chou who had gathered 350 seven people together.

"Not bad." Zhou Xing dismounted and handed the horse to a servant who had already stepped forward to greet him, while praising in his heart, "This Du Chou is really good at handling things."

But he didn't know that Du Chou didn't use what he said to give these people how much a month's military salary.In Du Chou's view, military service is justified.This breaking the traditional rules is no small matter.If you pay money this time to recruit soldiers, you will have to pay it back next time, and you will have to pay it again and again in the future.As long as it is not paid once, no one will serve in the military.The reason why he recruited all the people so quickly was simply to let people ride horses around the fief, and shouted that the top ten would be rewarded with ten copper baht each, and the bottom ten would be whipped ten times.When Zhou Xing came close, he saw a man lying on a big rock, and behind him a man with a whip was whipping him on the back with the whip in his hand while counting.

Taking advantage of the gap between the whipping over there, Du Chou told him the whole story in a low voice, Zhou Xing frowned.

He had an intuition that Du Chou's method was right, but looking at the numb faces opposite him, each of them standing loosely, each dressed like a beggar, his originally sunny mood turned gloomy .

"Why are there no monks?" Zhou Xing knew that there were more than 20 monk families in his fief.

"My lord," Du Chou said with a wry smile, "Why do monks serve in the military like ordinary people? Our small place is different from Shangluo. The monks in Shangluo are eager to join the army, so they can show it in front of dignitaries. Our small place, Who are the monks showing to? They are all sitting at home waiting for the county magistrate to come to collect them."

Du Chou's words made Zhou Xing speechless for a while.

You monks enjoy the best resources in this country, but when the state and county are in trouble, you let the common people rush forward?What's more, it turned out to be legal, and there was not a single piece of Dajin's laws that pointed out that it was wrong.

You can't see it unless you encounter something. When something happens, there are problems everywhere in the Jin Dynasty, from the court to every family.

It's just that he doesn't have time to think about how to solve these problems now.As a person from the future world, even if he has never served in the army, he still knows a lot of the most basic common sense in the military.

Discipline, morale, these are the most important two.

But look at this mob, there is no trace of discipline and morale at all.Just this rabble, on the battlefield, I am afraid that they are at the level of pig teammates.

He raised his arms, pressed them down again, and said in a loud voice: "Big guy, sit down cross-legged first." He originally wanted to yell to take a break and stand at attention like he did in his military training, but he pressed his stomach back when he spoke in.

After seeing these numb civilians slowly sitting on the ground, he said again: "The first thing I want to tell you today is why we have to serve in the military. I know that everyone is unwilling to serve in the military. After all, fighting means killing people. Today, everyone can talk freely about why they don’t want to serve in the military?"

As soon as he uttered these words, not to mention the people sitting below, even Du Chou was stunned, thinking that the lord must have taken the wrong medicine today.Morale can only be boosted, not vented.This is a mob in the first place, and if they vent like this again, they don't need others to beat them, and they will be defeated for thousands of miles.

Seeing that everyone looked at each other without speaking, Zhou Xing said again: "Whoever can say one thing will be rewarded with a copper baht." The cost will definitely not exceed fifty copper baht.Although a copper baht seemed insignificant to him, it was very difficult to earn for many civilians, especially in such remote areas.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, amidst the uproar of the crowd, a man stood up.Although he was trembling all over because of nervousness, he still mustered up his courage and said: "My lord, when we civilians go to the battlefield, we will be as worthless in front of the monks, and we have no power to fight back. Although the imperial court stipulates that meritorious service can be rewarded , but with our abilities, this kind of meritorious service is unimaginable."

"Well, yes, come up to get a copper baht. What's your name?"

"Reporting to the lord, the villain is called Gousheng."

Seeing the dog left, Zhou Xing happily took a copper baht from Du Chou, went back to the original place, sat down, held the copper baht tightly, and said with a smile: "The dog left, you have to hide it well." , I will use it when I marry a daughter-in-law in the future.”

When everyone heard this sentence, they immediately "coaxed" and laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became active.

"My lord," with the role model of the dog leftover, another person stood up and said: "I and other civilians in the army are to share the firepower for the monks. Needless to say, the food is poor, even the food is full." Extravagant hope. Every time you have to go to the battlefield, you can have a full meal."

"No one cares about our life and death, only the life and death of the monks is the most important thing."

"Don't talk about armor or anything, the weapons are the most tattered. Sometimes there is only a wooden stick in your hand."

……

After listening to everyone's complaints, Zhou Xing pressed his hands again to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, since I, Zhou Xing, have been conferred the title of Marquis of Bodaoting, and since you are already my subjects, I will naturally be responsible for you." Zhou Xing said in a loud voice with a determined face, "Serve in the military service for the imperial court." It is what each of us must do. This is not only for the court, but also for ourselves. A country is a country, and a country has a family. I think many people already know that the refugees are now looting everywhere in Shu. It’s still far from our place, but if we don’t make preparations and don’t go to military service, what should we do if the refugees call us one day?”

"Of course, I keep in mind what everyone said just now. I don't care what the other places in the Great Jin Dynasty stipulate. I solemnly declare here today that all the people of my Bodaohou country will receive military service every month. Military pay of ten copper baht. Those who died on the battlefield will receive a pension of twenty silver baht, and their children will be given priority in schooling. The disabled will never serve in the future and will be exempted from all taxes... ".

"Relax. Attention!"

"Look to the left, look to the right!"

Under the scorching sun, five hundred "soldiers" who are bare-chested and wearing straw sandals are receiving weekly training, if these people can be called soldiers.For the people of the Bodaohou country, and even for the people of the entire Bodao County, Zhou Xing's training has become the most lively place in the past few days.

Although the conscription order given above was only for three days, Zhou Xing refused to send the 350 seven people from his Marquis to follow the large force to Wuyang County, where Qianwei County is located, on the grounds that the soldiers were for training.Facing Bing Cao Shi's questioning, Zhou Xing just said that I would naturally send someone to explain to the governor.The soldier Cao Shi and even the county magistrate Zhang Meng were extremely shocked by this, but they were also afraid of Zhou Xing's legendary extraordinary cultivation, so they could only send someone to Wuyang to sue Zhou Xing for disobeying the military order.

Zhou Xing naturally also sent someone, none other than Wang Tianyun.Although Wang Tianyun didn't understand his actions, but now that the husband and wife are one, and Zhou Xing broke out a big mess, she has to help clean it up.

After Zhou Xing announced a series of policies that day, he kicked out all men over the age of 35, and only recruited men between the ages of 35 and [-] to join the army.With these policies, men of the right age from the whole Hou country came to sign up enthusiastically.This shocked Du Chou who originally thought that Zhou Xing was messing around.

In his original consciousness, since ancient times, the protagonists on the battlefield have always been monks, and civilians are used to disperse firepower and attract attacks.But after hearing what Zhou Xing said to these civilians, he had to admit that civilians could indeed play a greater role.

"Ordinary men just need to pick up a long spear and stab hard, even a piece of iron can poke a hole. No matter how hard a monk is, his skin will not be harder than iron. No monk will really be invulnerable. Even if someone cultivates the exercises to that level, it will consume a lot of spiritual power. The spiritual power is not endless, but the spiritual power in everyone's popularity is very little. A commoner or even ten commoners in a monk It is vulnerable to a single blow, but if dozens of civilians form a queue, they will be like a hedgehog, no matter how powerful a monk is, they will be daunting."
