Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 245 Zhou Li?what is that? (seeking subscription)

Three days later.

The whole camp became extremely lively.

From time to time, a few non-commissioned officers with military crowns appeared.

They all rushed over from the three counties in the South China Sea recently, and they also learned about this incident on the way.

Many non-commissioned officers were deeply surprised by Fusu's proposal of retiring from the army and changing jobs.

sunset.

Autumn is cool and crisp. Although the weather is still a bit hot, it has become much cooler than at noon. With the wind blowing from time to time, the whole camp does not seem stuffy, but the current camp is full of excitement. , a group of non-commissioned officers wearing military crowns sat on the ground, quietly waiting for Fusu's arrival.

They did not wait long.

Fusu appeared in front of everyone with big strides.

Fusu is very formally dressed.

He was wearing a black robe with a pan bag hanging from his waist and a side crown on his head.

Fusu looked at the non-commissioned officer below, and walked directly onto the cloud cart, which was about two feet above the ground, standing on the cloud cart, Fusu also had a panoramic view of the situation under the cart.

Fu Su calmly said: "This time you were summoned here in a hurry, so you may have heard about it on the way, and I don't like to be secretive, so I just said it straight."

"Since the last time Hu Hai came to the South China Sea, I heard that the soldiers in the army were homesick. At the same time, after reporting this matter to His Majesty, the imperial court attached great importance to this matter and ordered some adjustments."

"After negotiating with the officials of the Prime Minister's Office, I barely came up with a few solutions."

"However, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are involved, so I dare not be so rash, so I can only select relevant matters in batches. After many discussions with the officials of the Prime Minister's Office, I proposed to start with the non-commissioned officers first."

"That's why I came here this time."

"And the military discharge system introduced by the imperial court."

"Retirement, as the name suggests, is to leave the army completely, and there will be no special circumstances in the future, and will not return to the army. That is to say, from now on, retired soldiers will no longer serve in the South China Sea and Northern Border. Corvettes are only in the vicinity of counties and counties, doing some construction of water conservancy, or building some cities, and will not go hundreds of miles away."

"Retired soldiers will also leave the army completely."

A word fell.

Not only the non-commissioned officers below looked suspicious, but even Zhao Tuo, Li Xin and others changed their expressions slightly.

Fusu had been secretive about his retirement before, and they didn't find out too much information, so they could only understand it literally. The so-called retirement means quitting the army, but they really didn't expect that Fusu's span Such a big, not only quitting the army, but completely away from the garrison.

After a brief silence.

The non-commissioned officer below was a little afraid to say: "Your Highness, is what you said true? If we retire from the army this time, will we really not have to serve in the military anymore?"

Fusu nodded affirmatively.

He smiled and said, "This is a deliberation and decision by the imperial court, how can it be faked?"

"And this is not absolute. If the world is fighting again, it may be recalled again, but as far as it is concerned, it is basically impossible. The court does not need so many soldiers in a short time, so it can be said that once retired, stay away from the army.”

Hearing Fusu's words, the sergeant below showed excitement.

They have served for at least a dozen years or as many as several years. The long military life has long disgusted them, but the period of service seems to have no end in the distance. Now they hear that after retiring from the army, they no longer need to serve. idea.

Zhao Tuo looked up at the sergeant sitting on the ground beside him.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

Fusu really has extraordinary means. He mobilized the non-commissioned officer's interest in retiring from the army with just two or three sentences. There will be fluctuations.

Invisibly, the non-commissioned officers have been differentiated once.

Fusu continued: "However, as I said, this is the first batch. The scale will not be too large, and it can even be called small. The number that can eventually retire from the army will definitely not be too many."

"This is the first time."

"But it definitely won't be the last time."

"That's for sure."

"but."

Fusu paused for a moment, his face became serious.

He said slowly: "You have served Great Qin for many years, and you have more or less understood the situation in the world, and the court has always owed the land and house rewards that should have been honored in the past."

"But you should have heard about the situation of the fields and houses in Guanzhong."

"The imperial court can't give so many fields and houses."

Be quiet.

Many non-commissioned officers' eyes flickered.

Zhao Tuo and others also looked at Fusu curiously, a little puzzled, why Fusu would tell this matter directly, there is still room for maneuver if some things are not mentioned, once said, it may not be possible It's over.

Or Fusu has a solution?

Zhao Tuo, Li Xin and others looked at Fusu curiously, waiting for Fusu's next words.

Fu Su smiled lightly, and said: "You may be a little surprised, why did you tell you this matter, your guess is indeed correct, the court is indeed working on solving this matter, and has also proposed some solutions, and you, as the first A group of retired non-commissioned officers are also the first batch of beneficiaries of these policies."

As soon as the voice fell, the bottom became noisy.

Fusu ignored it, and continued to say to himself: "You don't need to be so panic, the imperial court can't give you land and houses, but it's not really so overbearing. The imperial court will give you some choices, and how you will choose in the end is up to you. You decide for yourself, but once these decisions are made, they cannot be changed."

"One: The imperial court will build dozens of junior schools in Guanzhong."

"The first solution is to use your fields and houses in exchange for the qualification of a child to enter school. The court will cover all the expenses for food, lodging and study, and the students who come out of the junior school, after a trial, can enter the local officials to serve Officials, but you have to start from the bottom."

After the first method was spoken, the field fell silent instantly.

Many non-commissioned officers began to weigh up.

It is not necessarily unacceptable to use the fields and houses that I have worked hard over the years to exchange for the qualifications of my heirs to obtain knowledge, and even obtain the qualifications to be officials.

after all
Tian Zhai is dead.

If one's heirs can enter the government as officials, then for most of their families, it can be said to be a glorious lintel, and they were not qualified to be officials based on their titles before, let alone have no way to be officials.

What's more, the imperial court pays for all expenses.

Many non-commissioned officers were moved.

Zhao Tuo's gaze was slightly different.

He weighed it in his mind.

But he shook his head.

This solution seemed good, but in fact the variables were too great. What the court really promised was an admission qualification. Whether he could eventually become an official depended on subsequent assessments. For him, the attraction was far less than that of a farm.

But he also had to admit it.

Fusu's method is not attractive to him, but it is not the case for the non-commissioned officers below.

They all came from humble beginnings.

If it wasn't for joining the army, fighting on the battlefield, gaining military merits, and obtaining the title of knighthood, otherwise, for the rest of my life, no one in my family would be able to enter the government, let the children gain knowledge, or even enter the government, even if it was only the lowest official. It is a big breakthrough.

This kind of temptation is far above the field house.

Zhao Tuo's heart sank slightly.

he knows.

As soon as Fusu's idea comes out, many non-commissioned officers may be tempted.

At this time.

Someone in the crowd asked: "Your Highness, is it true that as long as you leave the army, you can choose this?"

Fu Su nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "I have seen your titles in the past two days, and most of your titles are in the hairpin, so they are in compliance. These requirements also have requirements."

"Except for title restrictions."

"If you have obtained more fields and houses than the public servants in the past, those with more than one hectare will be returned to the imperial court."

heard.

Chaozhong was quiet all of a sudden.

If they just exchanged their uncashed fields and houses for such qualifications, they would be very happy in their hearts. After all, the imperial court really couldn’t give so many fields and houses, and it would be all right to exchange some uncashable fields and houses for such qualifications. It is earned.

What's more, there is no need to serve in the garrison in the future.

It's just that many non-commissioned officers hesitated if they needed to return the fields they had already received.

Fusu saw the reactions of the people below.

He continued: "What I said above is the first one. As for the second one, I will give up the farms in Guanzhong and go to the Guandong as officials. In the Guandong court, I will allocate another one hectare of farms to you, and the official positions will be slightly lower. higher."

"If you are willing to stay in the South China Sea, or go to the northern border."

"The imperial court will give an extra hectare of farmhouse."

Speaking of this second idea, many people were also moved.

This is his own official.

The first admission qualifications, after all, are only for the opportunity to serve as officials, but the second is not, they are directly discharged from the army and become officials. This is the treatment that only some middle-ranked people can have, but they can enjoy it in advance.

However, the conditions are also somewhat harsh.

Not only had to abandon the fields and houses in Guanzhong, but also moved the whole family to Guandong.

Is it really worth it?
Many people are weighing in their hearts.

True.

The two solutions proposed by Fusu are very attractive, but one is not very safe, and the other has to move out of their homeland, which also makes many non-commissioned officers frown.

At this time.

Another non-commissioned officer said loudly: "Your Highness, can't you stay in Guanzhong?"

Fusu shook his head and said coldly: "I can't."

He didn't explain too much.

He believed that these non-commissioned officers could think clearly.

How could the imperial court let these non-commissioned officers take advantage of it?

Moreover, there are so many official positions in Guanzhong for them. If they want to become officials directly, they can only drag their families and move to Guandong. There is no room for maneuver.

Fusu continued: "Besides that."

"If you insist on keeping the fields and houses that you should have, the court will not force you to give them up, but I have said before that the land will not be able to give so many fields and houses in a short time, and you want to get these fields and houses , can only wait."

"As for how long it will take, I can't give an answer."

"When will the extra fields and houses be vacated, and when will the court be able to honor them."

"In all fairness, I would prefer you to choose the first or second option. The first option allows you to stay in Guanzhong and give your family an upward channel. The second option is to be an official from another place. House, but the treatment you get, you can only get it without changing the title, so if you gain something, you must lose something."

"And that makes sense."

"As for how to choose, it's up to you to decide."

"But before that, I have to explain one thing in advance."

"This discharge is mandatory and cannot be changed by anyone. Once the government chooses to retire, no matter what reason or rhetoric you have, you cannot continue to stay in the army. You must leave as soon as possible, and you must not interfere with the normal operation of the army. .”

"In addition, this is the only time you choose independently."

"Once you don't make a choice, it will be defaulted that you insist on obtaining the land and house."

"There will be no chance of change after that."

"in addition."

"The number of discharges this time is limited."

"And in the next few days, if you intend to retire from the army, you can take the initiative to apply to the higher authorities and state your past in the army. The imperial court will judge as appropriate. As for whether it will be accepted in the end, it will be decided according to the actual situation."

"The application will not be the only criterion."

"at last."

"Retired non-commissioned officers, when returning to Xianyang, the imperial court will bestow surnames on non-commissioned officers without surnames."

"This is the reward you deserve all these years, and it is also the reward that the Great Qin soldiers deserve. You are the victors of this world war, and you deserve to be rewarded as victors."

"You should also return to Xianyang with your heads held high."

The voice fell.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

What Fusu said later was really shocking.

Ci's?

Many generals were a little dizzy, and some couldn't believe their ears. Did they really hear this sentence?
This is Ci's!

From ancient times to the present, only those who have made great achievements, were entrusted to a certain place, or were appointed as high-ranking officials, were eligible to obtain a surname, but now these middle and lower non-commissioned officers in Daqin can actually obtain a surname.

How is this not shocking?

These few words shocked the generals on the side far more than the method Fusu mentioned earlier.

And it's much more shocking.

Fusu was also excited.

But there was not much emotion on his face, as if he had already taken it seriously.

Real rewards, false rewards.

There is indeed quite a difference between the two.

But the impact on people is not the same.

In this era when nobles took root in the world, surnames are very noble and a symbol of status. This has been an unwritten thing in the world for three generations, but this rule seems to be broken.

Although this time the scope is small.

But if you really think about it, is it really less?

This is thousands of people.

Throughout the 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty, it took at least 600 years for thousands of people to obtain surnames, but the Great Qin court gave them so lightly, which is a blatant trample on Zhou Li.

Once the news spread, the world would be in an uproar.

But Fusu still did it.

The audience was silent.

Everyone seemed to be shocked, and they didn't dare to make any noise for a long time.

There is only rustling wind around.

a long time.

Finally someone came to his senses.

It's just that their eyes are still full of horror and bewilderment.

Still seemed very at a loss.

After an unknown period of time, Fusu's voice sounded in their ears again, but they didn't hear it clearly, they could only faintly hear 'this is a reward for the winner'.
　I seem to be missing something, let me think about it.
