Chapter 1402 Enfeoffment (6)

Everyone felt a little weird this time. The latter two were surrendered ministers. How could they have the same status as the first two great ministers?And even if the meritorious people can be canonized, why haven't these two people been canonized as the family territory?

With Zhao Hu's entrustment, everyone understood that the general is not the original servant general, but a higher rank than the subordinate general.Except for the four great ministers, the others are all jumping in the three levels of minister, attendant, and banner chief.

The vassals who came from rogues didn’t have any objections, while those who came from vassals, although their titles were lower than before, received several times as much stone as before, and their monthly salary was also very high, so they were very happy. It is joy.

Especially Nangong Bing, he didn't expect that he would get the rank of Banner Commander for his third uncle's retainer, which added fifty stones and ten monthly salary to the family out of thin air.Although the family has ten thousand stones now, the future patriarch himself doesn't need to care about fifty stones at all, but no one would think too much of the stone height that can be passed on from generation to generation, even if it is one stone or two more, it is still a dream for him.

As for the surviving local tyrants, they are a little bit lost. Not only did they not get rewards, but their old stone heights were halved, but how can people not bow their heads under the eaves?

Moreover, they are all aristocratic families with thousands of shi, plus the main force is destroyed, and the biggest expenditure is gone. Even half of the shi height can make themselves and the banner people live well, not to mention the same expensive monthly salary.In addition, considering that resistance is genocide, I had no choice but to kowtow and claim it.

In order not to prevent the retainers below from stepping forward to thank you, he turned to sit in the corner and knelt down. Maude, who was still intoxicated with happiness, was suddenly disturbed at this moment, and glared at the retainers very dissatisfied, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ?”

His retainer hurriedly whispered: "My lord, the hall has already been canonized to a local tyrant, why aren't we canonized?"

"Stupid, you are my retainers, of course I won't enlist you." Maude said indifferently.

"But my lord, the Nangong soldiers also got fifty stones, and the subordinates of those bosses also got stones high." The retainer said anxiously.

"Huh? What's going on here?"

But Mo De knew that those rogue leaders followed his example and took their subordinates into retainers. Why did their retainers have Shi Gao, but his own retainers didn't?
Nangong Dun next to Mod heard the conversation, smiled wryly, and interjected: "Don't think about it, except for Nangong Bing, other retainers on my side also have no canonization."

Atsushi Nangong would take the initiative to talk, mainly because he felt that something was wrong, and he was ready to establish a good relationship with Maud, otherwise he would not pay attention to this guy who was hostile to him.

Maude obviously didn't expect Nangong Dun to talk to him, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "My lord, what does this mean?"

"Didn't you realize that only the two of us have family territory? You are a bachelor, why did the lord specifically explain that the family territory was conferred on your family?"

Seeing Maode shaking his head, Nangong Dun couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "Don't you understand what the Lord means? This is for us to support our retainers."

"It's normal to support your own retainers. Why do you feel a little bit wrong when you say that?" Maude's face was still a little confused.

"Alas, just now you were only interested in being happy and didn't think carefully about what the lord said." Nangong Dun said with a sigh.This guy is actually on an equal footing with him?God has no eyes!

"What?" Maud asked hurriedly.He was indeed mad with joy.

"My lord, that is, the system of the Qin family is different from that of other forces. I counted the ranks of the family, at least over nine levels, and each level has a fixed stone number and monthly salary. Rank, nothing else." Nangong Dun said.

Maude counted with his fingers and asked, "Ninth level? Which ninth level?"

"The territory of the bannerman is one stone and one month's salary, the flag soldier is two stones and five hundred coins, the flag is five stones and two, the flag head is ten stones and three, the flag team is twenty and five stones, the flag leader is fifty stones and ten, and the servant is one Twenty guan for one hundred stones, fifty guan for two hundred lines for generals, and one hundred guan for five hundred stones for generals.

"No one is in charge of the latter, so I don't know, but there should be middle-aged and family-old people." Nan Gongdun said.

"A servant is a general, and the banner chief is the captain, right? But what about this banner, what is it?" Mod asked with a puzzled face.

"Banner is a soldier who has just joined the army, and a banner soldier is a veteran who has been on the battlefield and won a head. Judging by the name, it is considered to have entered the warrior class above the banner head."

"Ha, my lord is so generous, even the soldiers who have just joined the army have stone heights and monthly salaries. With such encouragement, it seems that my Qin family's force can definitely dominate the southeast peninsula." Mode said happily.

Nan Gongdun stared at Mod for a while, then shook his head and said, "You really... well, let me tell you directly, this move of the lord is equivalent to turning all the troops into his direct troops. In other words, you The hundreds of elite ten soldiers under your command are no longer under your control."

"I can't control it? My vassals went straight down to serve as the captain of ten people. The grassroots are all under my control. How dare they disobey orders?" Moder immediately retorted. He was very nervous about the hundreds of people. But my own foundation.

Nan Gongdun chuckled: "Please, you just sent your retainers to serve as captains of ten people, but my lord canonized them directly with the stone height of one stone, and at the same time, there is also a consistent amount of money every month. I don't talk about the monthly salary, and I don't say how much the stone is. , but now that Shi Gao has been led, these soldiers are also the lord's direct retainers.

"It's okay to be fine at ordinary times, but once it conflicts with the order of the lord, do you think these soldiers obey you, the officer, or their lord?"

Mo De was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "Could it be that in the future when we recruit private soldiers, we also have to confer Shi Gao to the ten soldiers?"

Nangong Dun smiled wryly and said: "You finally understand that the only way to recruit private soldiers is in this way in the future, and the master must not recruit soldiers, otherwise those soldiers will definitely choose the master instead of us. Unless the stone height and monthly salary we give can compare There are many more lords, otherwise no one would want to follow us."

"How is this possible? Doesn't this mean that we can't even recruit private soldiers? You must know that our Shi Gao has to be distributed to our retainers, and now that the minerals have been cancelled, we can only live on Shi Gao, and we have to give our retainers their salaries." , plus the usual expenses, there is not much left at all.

"It's great to be able to maintain a balance of income and expenditure. How can we recruit those private soldiers who need to pay Shi Gao? The equipment and rations of ten private soldiers are huge expenses!" Mo De said excitedly.

Nan Gongdun sighed and said: "Yes, my lord, this is making us unable to support private soldiers. You, a bachelor, only have dozens of retainers, and [-] shi and [-] guan per month are enough to spend.

"But look at my Nangong family. Don't look at my Nangong family's 500 shi, but how many people are there in the entire Nangong family? Four to five hundred people live on that [-] shi. It's definitely not as good as you in comparison."

Both parties knew that the other was crying for poverty, because there were other resources in the territory besides minerals, so it would not be so difficult. Otherwise, why would everyone pursue Shi Gao desperately?But it's better to cry about being poor than boasting about being rich, right?

Hearing that Nangong Dun did not count his stone height, Mo De said with a smile: "Hehe, you are smart enough, not only can use the family's manpower and stone height, but also you have five hundred stone height, just your own stone height With a high salary, you should be able to recruit a hundred private soldiers, right?
"If the lord goes to war with the outside world, your hundred private soldiers will definitely be able to capture the flag for you. Compared with other retainers who can only work hard on their own, it is definitely a heaven and an underground!"

When Mode said this, his heart moved, and he secretly decided that even if he lived frugally, he must have hundreds of private soldiers, otherwise he would definitely fall behind Nangong Dun in the future!

Nan Gongdun smiled, but did not say a word, but at this time there was loud cheers outside, it seemed that the soldiers outside also knew that they could also have Shi Gao's affairs, and now no local tyrant of any family would dare to commit crimes.

In fact, everyone knows that restricting private soldiers is Zhao Hu's measure to prevent his retainers from rebelling, but no one will say it out.

This method is not very clever, and other forces can also use it, as long as they are willing to divide most of their stone heights.

But looking at the whole southeast peninsula willing to do this, I'm afraid there is only Zhao Hu who doesn't take Shi Gao seriously, right?

Of course, this canonization has nothing to do with the militiamen from the imperial army, and they don't know the importance of Shi Gao. Now they are guarding the border under the leadership of Juan.

It's not that Zhao Hu favors one over the other, it's mainly because the militiamen all belong to the imperial army, and their families are all in the empire, so they are only here to help, so Zhao Hu decided to only reward them with money, and not assign Shi Gao.

The canonization ended soon, and everyone waited for Zhao Hu to announce the end of the meeting, so that they could go and see for themselves what the canonized land was like.

However, Zhao Hu didn't do what they wanted. Instead, he said: "My Qin family must not only have a city like Mingyue City, so I decided to appoint Nan Gongdun as the city representative and administrative officer, Moder as the security inspection site, and Fei Er as the commercial logistics officer." Pursuant, Kaihai is the commander of the navy.

"In the future, I hope that all the retainers will stick to their posts and obey the orders of Cheng Daihe."

Everyone was dumbfounded, did the lord hand over all the power to the four great ministers?

But no one jumped out to remind Zhao Hu, because Zhao Hu still controls all the armies. Didn't he often say that the army is in his hands, and I have it in the world?With the army, are you afraid of rebellion?

And Nangong Dun hurriedly took Mod and others to thank him and accept the order.Nan Gongdun knew that although this was the position of the city representative, he was still the powerful city lord anyway, and his long-standing wish came true in this way!
