The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 488

My second brother is in Jiaozhi, and he has made good friends with the emperor of the Li Dynasty. When the time comes, we will invite Jiaozhi to send troops, and then contact the Jin Kingdom, buy off the Champa people, and attack from the north to the south. At that time, the world was in chaos.Yang Lin's children's enemies are all over the world, and if the world is in chaos, they must be swarming up, so why worry about nothing happening. "

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the cave shouted excitedly, the sound was amplified by the cave, and it really sounded like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

At the beginning of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were too many killings in the Jingchu area. In addition, this place was originally a place where various evil sects of witchcraft were prevalent, so the combination of Maitreya and Mingjiao attracted many believers.

In addition, through the group of scholar-bureaucrats in the clan, the great help of the Jiangnan gentry who had squeezed the Song Dynasty for a hundred years made the arrogance of the cult more and more prosperous.

Outside Qingxi Mountain, where Fang La died, a new storm was brewing.

---

Yunnei, Datong.

The plague has been brought under control, and the nearby soldiers and civilians have begun to station in the city one after another.

In the big camp on the outskirts of the city, a high platform was set up, the flags covered the sky, and the wind was fierce.

Yang Lin generously rewarded the Western Army for their outstanding achievements, especially those who made great contributions in street fighting.

Zong Ze and Wang Ting also arrived, and they contributed a lot to the timely attack when they blocked Wan Yan Aguda.

On the high platform, there are some medals, and each special medal is registered and linked to the holder.

On these medals, the word Fuyun is engraved, and there is also the medal of Fuyan on the side.

The commanders of each battalion nominate soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in the war. After review, they can only be awarded this chapter if their contributions are genuine.

Wearing it, you will not kneel in court, and your family's tax will be halved.

In the Song Dynasty, only the status of a literati could have this treatment.In order to avoid the legacy of the rebellion by the warriors of the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty desperately suppressed the warriors, praised the literati's governance, and was willing to spend money on the literati and literati.

In the Song Dynasty, civil servants not only had high salaries and heavy rewards, but also had the opportunity to influence their families, and were exempted from all examinations. They became a privileged "official household" class in society.

Thus, the scene of "catching the son-in-law under the list" appeared.On the day when the imperial examinations were announced, the entire family of the wealthy gentry from all over the country went out to choose the son-in-law of the first-ranked scholar.

The reason is that the treatment of civil servants is so good that people can't help but be tempted.

The salaries and benefits of civil officials in the Song Dynasty were very high, and their salaries were rich and substantial, and they were held high, not just money.

In fact, the benefits of civil servants are astonishing, including regular salary, salary, salary, spring and winter clothes, clothing and food for servants, tea and wine, kitchen materials, fuel charcoal, and livestock feed, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even the expenses of family servants. The state pays.

要是当了宰相和枢密使一级的执政大臣的年俸是三千六百贯钱、1200石粟米、40匹绫、60匹绢、100两冬绵、14400束薪、1600秤炭、7石盐再加上70个仆人的衣粮。

Calculated according to the purchasing power at that time, the annual salary of the prime ministers and privy envoys of the Song Dynasty was equivalent to between 800 million and 1000 million yuan in later generations. At that time, the annual tax revenue of an entire state was about the same.

Yang Lin's award this time is the first step in breaking the privileges of civil servants, slightly spreading this benefit to warriors.

This is already a remarkable change, and everyone in the army is rejoicing, at least there is hope.

On the high platform, those who killed more than ten enemies were first-class meritorious service, and Yang Lin and Zong Ze personally awarded the medal, which was extremely honorable.

All the soldiers wished that they were the ones who were awarded honors, instead of watching helplessly.

Zong Ze, who was on the platform, swept down, feeling an unspeakable feeling in his heart.

The eyes of those soldiers gathered together, which really made people's hearts tremble.

It is rumored that Shang Yang spurred the old Qin soldiers with his military exploits, and the people of Qin still enjoy hearing the battle. Yang Shaozai not only raised the morale of the warriors, but also won the hearts of the soldiers in one fell swoop.

All the generals in the army would be willing to serve him. This person is the hope in the eyes of the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty.

If this award was given to another person at random, or if someone did it a few years ago, the head would have fallen before the ceremony was over.

Only Yang Lin with such power dared to do this kind of thing. Thinking of this, Zong Ze turned his head and looked, Yang Lin's expression was not different, it was still calm and breezy.

It seemed to him that this earth-shattering day was ordinary and nothing different.

Is this person really a number one scholar, what is his mind, why he dares to break the privilege of a literati, and there is no slight fluctuation.

Hanging the last first-class medal on the chest of a one-armed old soldier with his own hands, Yang Lin patted his shoulder, and these people came down in a group.

When Yang Lin turned around, there was a roar of cheers from mountains and tsunami. At this moment, the entire Yunnei was shouting for Yang Shaozai.

Chapter 553 Resurrection

Yang Lin has a sense of pride in his heart, and he is the backing of these soldiers under his command, the reliance for them to stand up.And they, are they not the reliance of their own ruler Song.The literati in the Song Dynasty were not all promiscuous, but this group has indeed become more and more corrupt.

The so-called too much is too much, that is to say, they have a perverted defense against warriors.

In the disaster of Jingkang in later generations, in the most important first Kaifeng defense battle, army generals from all over the country spontaneously gathered Qinwang. Around 30.

Except for the Western Army and other economically controlled armies, most of these soldiers and horses were poorly equipped and lacked food and fodder.But it was these military horses who had been repeatedly defeated and entangled with the Jurchen army endlessly, so that the already somewhat exhausted Jurchen army demanded a large amount of goods and left the siege.

But the masters of the Bianliang center are worried that the original painting skin that is heavy on the inside and light on the outside will be exposed.I'm afraid that the army of these diligent kings will be in great difficulty.I am even more afraid that the Western Army will be stationed in Bianliang and their status will be shaken.It was as if he had gone crazy and drove these army horses to rescue and recover Taiyuan Mansion.

The generals and soldiers of the army all obeyed Bianliang's order and rushed into the mountains in the east of the river without hesitation.Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses with insufficient food and ammunition were defeated by Jurchen in batches.By the time of the second siege of Bianliang, there were no more invincible troops.

The good country was lost, and hundreds of thousands of Han men were killed in the mountains in the east of the river.In the heart of the Central Plains in Kaifeng, 10,000+ women and girls were robbed by Jingxian and reduced to alien playthings.

On the road in the northern border, the wind and dust were rising, and the sand and snow were blowing in the face. These weak Central Plains women were neither paid attention to by the historical eyes of future generations, nor pityed by their masters who were too busy at that time. They cowered like lambs, panicked, and disappeared. On the land of the Central Plains, there was left behind an indelible hatred for future generations.

If a big country wants to stand proudly in the world, it must have a combination of civil and military, and it will not work if it lacks any one or does not pay attention to any one.

The people present probably did not expect that Yang Lin had such courage.

In this era, scholars despise warriors from the moment they come into contact with others; when they grow up and start studying, their teachers and elders are all instilling the principles of guarding against warriors and using practical actions to set them a role model for guarding against and despising warriors .

Over time, this concept has penetrated into the bones subtly.

Yang Lin is different. He has the perspective of God and has long seen such harm and narrowness from history books.

As the No. [-] Scholar, breaking away from such notions is even more earth-shattering in the eyes of outsiders.

The number one scholar sat in his current position, this is the pinnacle of civil servants, there is no reason to smash his own throne.

After the honors were awarded, it was the city entry ceremony, and the new Datong was renovated from the inside to the outside.

After the plague has dissipated, there is a lot of land here that can be rewarded to those who have made meritorious deeds. Many soldiers of the Western Army who have been rewarded are planning to move their families to live in Datong.

Datong Mansion, as a thousand-year-old city, even though it has been devastated by wars, is still the center of gravity of the Northland, and it is the irrefutable city in the heart of Yunnei.

As long as the flames of war dissipate, this place will soon regain its vitality and become a prosperous city in the Northland again.

The magistrate of Yunzhou was He Su who had just arrived from Bianliang, and had already greeted the soldiers and civilians entering the city at the gate of the city.

He Su is also a number one scholar. He is the number one scholar in Zhao Ji's first grand examination after taking office. He must be a man of outstanding literary talent and handsome appearance to get the approval of Zhao Ji's palace examination.

In fact, not only Zhao Ji likes him, but Cai Jing also values ​​this champion very much.
