Chapter 184 The Reward System (Part 2)

In terms of military merit rewards, Li Jia borrowed from the Qin Dynasty's military merit title system, but this was only in terms of rewards, which was better than the current monetary rewards alone.

Unlike the Qin army, each level enjoys necessary treatment, ranging from food, clothing, houses, acres, and even speech.

This reform is not about the system, but about rewards. First of all, it clarifies what level and what rewards they have, so that soldiers understand that there are cases for promotion and rewards, rather than being blindly controlled by the chief officer.

.

In a sense, this can be regarded as continuing to reduce the control of officers, and to a certain extent, it helps soldiers get rid of personal dependence.

The San rank is equivalent to the military rank. The Southern Han Dynasty inherited the Wu San rank of the Tang Dynasty, from the lowest deputy aide Rong Xiaowei to the highest rank First Grade Hussars General, sixteenth rank, thirty-one rank.

Li Jia simplified it to sixteen levels, retaining the main level and omitting the secondary level.

It can be said that the long military road is so long?

However, the army was second only to the imperial examination as a promotion channel for poor families. Words such as vulgarity, hooligans, and bloodthirsty were added to the army at this time.

It’s not that warlords are not good at governing, it’s just that compared to literati, those with conscience are better. No matter how rubbish Confucianism is, the fact that it encourages people to do good is good.

During the Five Dynasties, soldiers were rewarded too generously and punished too lightly. Therefore, as the soldiers became more arrogant and arrogant, the people became more miserable.

When talking about the military system, we have to say that the collapsed military system will end when there is no land to divide it. The same is true for Li Jia. When there is no land, it will be the date when the army is disbanded.

But is it possible that there will be no land? Although farming is not possible on the Mongolian Plateau, it is possible to allocate pastures. Although the Northeast is too cold and can only be harvested for one season, it is not a problem as long as there is plenty of land!

The land allocated has a purpose.

For example, at this time, the reward land for Sergeant Qin Wang in the Forbidden Army was basically around Prince Xing's Mansion.

Because Li Jia wanted to make Prince Xing's Mansion his base, it was crucial to expand the number of supporters.

You Longhu Military Camp is commanded by Huang Yong.

In the school grounds, pots of hot dishes that had been prepared long ago have been placed on the ground. Twenty-five teams were arranged neatly in the capital, holding the distributed bowls and chopsticks without saying a word.

"Today's food is pretty good. There's meat, fish, and vegetable and tofu soup. I want to eat a few more bowls!"

Li Chun tilted his head and looked around, his stomach growled, he smelled the fragrance, and he was very excited.

"Okay, if there is no mountain snake to eat, it will be very delicious!"

"You just know how to eat. As a team leader, you set an example..." Commander Huang wore a chainmail armor and a breastplate on his chest, which was shining with gold and extremely dazzling.

Even though others told him several times that there was no need to wear it like this on weekdays, he still wore it happily, went back and wiped it again and again every day, and continued to wear it the next day.

Not to mention, wearing this armor, Huang Yong seemed to be greatly inspired, and continued to patrol with his head held high.

When he saw Li Chun looking around, he couldn't help but scolded:

"Your boy and the governor came from Yongzhou thousands of miles away and became the captain of the team. He is also an official. Pay attention to the influence!"

"Hehe, isn't it just delicious? There is nothing better than this!" Li Qing didn't take it seriously. He chuckled, tilted his head, and smelled it carefully.

"Captain Li, you might as well go to the supply camp and have something to eat every day!" Seeing this, Du couldn't help but joked.

"Hey, the baggage camp is comfortable. If we weren't afraid of betraying Mr. Lang's trust, we would have left long ago!" Li Qing curled his lips, looked at the two people, and said unscrupulously.

Dutou was also from Yongzhou, a few villages away. He smiled at this and said nothing.

After patting him on the shoulder, Huang Yong also smiled and continued to patrol. As a commander in chief, he had always been informal about etiquette, and he was quite popular among the sergeants.

A very critical point is that among the 2,500-strong Youlonghu Army, nearly 200 people came from Yongzhou and formed the so-called Conglong Sect. Although the number was small, most of these people served as officers and assisted Huang Yong.

Control the army.

Although Huang Yong is just a Chinese barbarian, in their eyes, he is one of their own in this foreign land.

By maintaining the relationship between the Yongzhou faction and the original Imperial Army faction, Huang Yong controlled the entire army.

At this time, people from the Military Police Department, the Governor's Office, and the supply camp also came and began to read out the reward rules to the Youlonghu Army.

"Huang Yong, the king of Qin has meritorious service, he is a sixth-grade Zhaowu captain, and he will be rewarded with one thousand acres of cultivated land..."

"Weidong, King Qin has meritorious service and will be rewarded with fifty acres..."

"Everyone, private transactions are not allowed here. They can only be sold to the Governor's Mansion at the market price, otherwise it will be deemed invalid..."

"Do these lands need to be taxed?" Li Qing asked boldly.

"Of course, this land is awarded to you, so you have to pay taxes. Even the Prime Minister and the Governor's Mansion are no exception -"

As a result, the entire army was quickly divided into two parts, one was the Yongzhou faction and the other was the original Forbidden Army faction.

The Yongzhou soldiers quickly lined up, and the first one to receive the reward was Huang Yong. He was given a rank and a thousand acres of land. It was a great incentive for those who came after him.

Subsequently, the camp area was basically 100 acres, the general area was 50 acres, the team area was 30 acres, the team leader and corps leader were both 5 acres, and the ordinary soldiers were 2 acres.

There is a huge disparity in numbers, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is an unspoken rule, and the chief officer must occupy the majority.

The Youlonghu Army alone has released nearly 20,000 acres of land today, which are basically adjacent to each other and can help each other. Li Jia is even prepared to wait for this group of people to retreat and form a militia.

Li Qing was very happy. As the leader of the team, he was actually allocated thirty acres of land. Although it was all raw land, it was just that it had not been cultivated for a long time. After a few years of cultivation, it would become mature land.

At this moment, he arrived at the supply camp, preparing to move his family to Prince Xing's Mansion and manage his share of the land.

When he arrived, the supply camp was densely packed with people, all of whom were familiar Yongzhou soldiers and also wrote letters.

After waiting in line for half an hour, it was finally his turn.

"Name, address——"

"Li Qing, whose home is in Shangli Village, Xuanhua County, Yongzhou, just wrote some words to report that he is safe, and asked me, Aye, my mother, and my brother to move here with the caravan. We are in Prince Xing's Mansion, and there are thirty

Acres of land..."

At this moment, he was extremely excited and a little panicked. After joining the army, he would have to go to the battlefield sooner or later. If these lands were not guarded, they might be stolen.

Soon, a letter of about a hundred words was written. He looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

He could still read the calligraphy, but it was too ugly and it would be inappropriate to send a letter home, so it was best to find a supply camp.

He took out ten copper coins from his pocket and gave it to the steward as a fee, then threw the letter into a box marked Yongzhou. Then someone naturally handed it to Li's caravan and transferred it to Yongzhou.

With the land, he had hope inexplicably in his heart, and those yellow copper coins no longer seemed cute.
