For now, Liu Hong feels that Liu Bei's position as Liangzhou Mu will remain unchanged for the time being.
There are still so many things to do, and Liu Bei's specific position is difficult to change. Liu Hong also pointed out that Liu Bei would make money for him with salt, and he did not plan to change his position in the short term.
And it seems that Liu Bei is the most successful governor of Liangzhou in many years. He has done a lot to stabilize Liangzhou. Another person will definitely not be as good as Liu Bei. When Liangzhou is in turmoil, he will still have a headache.
Since it is difficult to change the specific administrative position, then change it to the general position.
Liu Hong planned to move Liu Bei's general position.
It turned out that Liu Bei was the left general of the empire. The positions above the left general include the general He Jin, the hussar general Zhang Wen, the Wei general He Miao, the former general Zhou Shen, and the right general Dong Zhuo.
When Huangfu Song was the cavalry general, Liu Bei ranked seventh in the Han military circles. Now Huangfu Song resigned first, and then was re-elected as a post general. His status was still below Liu Bei, so Liu Bei was ranked seventh. six.
Originally, after Huangfu Song won the battle of Zishi County, the Modern Literature School began to encourage Liu Hong to re-promote Huangfu Song to the position of Chariot and Cavalry General in an attempt to enhance Huangfu Song's power.
At that time, Liu Hong was still hesitating, feeling that the war was not over yet and that it would be inappropriate to be promoted now.
Now that I have been promoted, what will I do if I win the game later?
As a result, it was Liu Bei's turn to make great achievements, and Liu Hong did not hesitate.
He directly announced to the outside world that Huangfu Song's war was not over yet. We would look at the situation later and found that one victory could not represent everything, so he would not be promoted for the time being.
Liu Bei's glorious victory was a serious one. He destroyed two large Xianbei tribes, ended the war, won great prestige, and had to be promoted.
So the general of chariots and cavalry belongs to Liu Bei.
Liu Hong personally issued an edict to appoint Liu Bei as General of Chariots and Cavalry. Liu Bei's status in the Han military circles suddenly jumped from sixth to third. Only behind General He Jin and Cavalry Generals Zhang Wen, Liu Bei became the top three in the Han military circles.
In addition to the promotion of General of Chariots and Cavalry, Liu Bei's original title of Marquis Fan Yang has been promoted to the top, but he only has 2,000 households.
Liu Hong thought that Liu Bei could fight and stabilize the border again, and he was a rare capable minister who could make money for himself instead of just asking for money. He couldn't just give away some bulk goods, so he was very generous in food.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Bei was given 6,000 additional settlements and 8,000 frontier households, making Liu Bei just one step away from ten thousand households. He is currently the person with the most settlements among the Han Dynasty's powerful elites.
As for other rewards of land, money, and houses, they are just customary and can be given in any amount, so they are not worth mentioning.
It is worth mentioning that because he felt that the reward given to Liu Bei was not enough to reflect his praise and attention to Liu Bei, Liu Hong thought about it and couldn't come up with any good ideas, which was quite embarrassing.
In the end, Zhang Rang reminded him.
It is inconvenient for Liu Bei personally to grant him the title, so why not grant the title to Liu Bei's family as well?
Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to let glory spread throughout the whole family?
In this way, even if Liu Bei himself cannot go further and his family has been honored, will Liu Bei be unhappy?
Liu Hong suddenly understood, so he learned about Liu Bei's family composition and learned that Liu Bei's father had passed away long ago, and only his mother was still alive. He also had a wife, a concubine, and two sons. The family was as simple as that.
He lamented Liu Bei's discipline and self-discipline in his private life, and believed that Liu Bei was indeed a loyal man who served his country wholeheartedly.
With such a high status and a small family, he didn't want to take in a few more concubines to enrich his backyard. He was really loyal.
So he and Zhang Rang studied together and finally decided to make Liu Bei's mother the Lord of Liangxiang and grant a thousand households in the city, and Liu Bei's wife Han Ning was granted the title of Lord of Yangxiang and grant 800 households in the city.
Liu Bei's father-in-law Han Rong has been serving as a councilor in the court for several years, but has never made any achievements. There was no reason to be granted a title before, but now he is promoted to a Taizhong doctor with a rank of thousands of stones.
This indeed fully reflects Liu Hong's praise and attention to Liu Bei.
Although there were many people in the Han Dynasty who were able to give titles to women in the family, they were all famous relatives and powerful ministers. Every one of them was a figure of astonishment. Liu Bei could use such merit to give his mother and The first wife has won the treatment of a monarch, which is definitely at the level of the emperor's favor.
Through this reward, the bureaucrats in Luoyang City can generally understand Liu Bei's attention to Liu Hong.
That is far beyond Huangfu Song.
Huangfusong won the battle and relieved Luoyang's worries. In addition to the normal rewards for large-scale goods, there was no serious promotion or salary increase. He said that he would make plans after the war situation was completely stable.
Strictly speaking, Liu Bei's contribution is indeed much greater than that of Huangfu Song, but the rewards are actually countless times better than Huangfu Song's.
After all, they are members of the Han clan...
As for the content of Liu Bei's request for credit from his subordinates, it is basically how Liu Bei suggests it and Liu Hong arranges it. If Liu Bei does not suggest it, then it will be given according to the standard model.
Those who participated in the war and made meritorious deeds were awarded the title of Nobility and Pavilion Marquis for their loyalty, bravery and courage.
Pang De, Xu Huang, Liu Yong, Qian Zhao, and Jia Xu who participated in the war were all given the title of Marquis of Guannei because of Liu Bei's commendation.
The remaining civil and military subordinates who contributed to the war received varying degrees of material rewards according to their respective contributions.
Anyway, no one was left behind, it can be said that God’s grace is so great.
Naturally, the one who benefited the most was Liu Bei himself.
Regarding Liu Bei's promotion to General of Chariots and Cavalry at the age of twenty-six, all civil and military officials in the dynasty had their own opinions, but few people expressed their public opinions on this matter.
After all, Liu Bei had earned a lot of face for the Emperor of Han Dynasty. The Emperor of Han Dynasty was happy for this and rewarded him generously. It was normal to commend Liu Bei for his achievements.
Moreover, Liu Bei's battle was indeed beautiful and impeccable, and even the modern school of literature could not say no.
It should be said that when Liu Bei first became the shepherd of Liangzhou, no one thought highly of him, and they all thought that his going to Liangzhou was almost like self-exile.
How come those extremely evil people in Liangzhou are so easy to deal with?
Even if he brought tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, considering the environment in Liangzhou surrounded by wolves, Liu Bei would not be able to live up to the "hard work" of so many ancestors unless he suffered a few defeats.
But who would have thought that Liu Bei not only established a firm foothold there and won several battles, but also had the ability to take the initiative to launch the Northern Expedition, successfully counterattacked Xianbei, and won a great victory.
What should I say?
There is not much to say except that he is really capable.
Anyway, the happiest person during this period was Lu Zhi, and the most popular figure in the court was also Lu Zhi. Officials and big shots from the Ancient Literature School all came to congratulate Lu Zhi, saying that Lu Zhi had such a good disciple. Envy, jealousy and hate.
Lu Zhi was also happy. He brought out such an outstanding disciple, Yunwen Yunwu. The teacher served as a herdsman in Jizhou to protect the environment and the people, and the disciple served as a herdsman in Liangzhou to protect the environment and the people. He did even better.
He, Mr. Lu, has a bright face!
However, Lu Zhi had not been happy for a few days when something new came to his door.
Different from the past, it was the Modern Literature School that caused trouble. This time, it was not the Modern Literature School that caused trouble, but the Ancient Literature School itself, or in other words, the current leader of the Ancient Literature School, Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan interviewed Lu Zhi alone, and with a smile, he was the first to reveal to Lu Zhi that he wanted to resign and return to his hometown.
Zheng Xuan fell ill before, but his condition was not serious, but it took a long time to recover. Now Zheng Xuan is still recovering. Lu Zhi even visited him at that time. I don't know why Zheng Xuan now wants to resign and return to his hometown.
"For the Ancient Literature School, your existence is crucial. You are the leader recognized by everyone. You lead the Ancient Literature School to move forward. No one will question you for this. If you resign and return to your hometown, the Ancient Literature School will return to your hometown. Who can take up your current position?"
Lu Zhi expressed concern about this.
