The weather is getting warmer.
The hospital became a little hot.
Ji Heng took a bamboo fan and fanned himself.
Then he said calmly: "The specific things to be done in the army are actually very simple. Just explain the matter clearly, and the most important thing is to explain two words clearly."
"Retired!!!"
"This is also your main purpose this time."
"Retirement, as the name suggests, means that you no longer have to serve in the military."
"That means leaving the army completely."
"Of course, if there are some special circumstances, you may still be able to return to the army, but in most cases you will not return. You just explain the discharge situation to the sergeants and then provide them with some options."
"in addition."
"The officials accompanying you should also do more ideological work, so that these non-commissioned officers can serve as officials as much as possible, or choose to return to Guanzhong to give their children a chance to go to school."
"Before you leave Xianyang."
"You need to talk to the officials in the Prime Minister's Office."
"At least we need to know how many official vacancies there are in Guanzhong and Guandong, and how many officials are needed to supplement them, so as to avoid the eventual situation of having no place to place them. At the same time, we should also talk to the officials of the Shaofu to allocate some money and food to build junior schools. , to honor the enrollment of these children of non-commissioned officers.”
Hear the words.
Fusu was thoughtful.
He secretly remembered Ji Heng's words in his heart.
What Ji Heng said was very simple.
They are also very easy to understand.
The court may have other thoughts, but no matter how hard they are, they cannot express them directly. Instead, they must use a suitable tone that can be accepted by the court, the army, and the non-commissioned officers.
Only in this way can it be truly implemented without arousing strong reactions from all parties.
Retirement is the most appropriate reason.
The Qin Dynasty had fought many wars in the past twenty years, and the soldiers were already tired of it.
At present, the imperial court proposes to retire non-commissioned officers, which may coincide with the wishes of many soldiers, and many of these people have been promoted to non-commissioned officers, so it is more appropriate to start with these people, provide them with certain official positions, or provide their children with admission qualifications. They are the most receptive.
The world has been fighting hard for a long time.
What's more, the imperial court also promised not to requisition any more in the future.
How many people will not be moved by this?
Ji Heng tasted the wine in the bowl and frowned slightly. Hu Hai was really wasting his own stuff. Too much ice was added to it, and the wine was no longer very sweet.
He took a few more sips before continuing: "This is just what I want to do on the surface."
Hear the words.
Fusu's heart trembled and he sat upright.
Ji Heng said slowly: "The real purpose of your trip is to strengthen the imperial court's control over the army and eliminate some possible hidden dangers. Therefore, after the retirement order is issued, we must use this opportunity to conduct a certain investigation of the situation in the army. Learn about these NCOs’ past promotions.”
"And this is actually quite logical."
"Because you are responsible for presiding over the discharge of soldiers, you naturally need to understand the situation of the non-commissioned officers in the army. It is natural to ask about the situation in the army and the situation of these non-commissioned officers. You can also use this to further understand the South China Sea Army."
"in addition."
"You have to be firm."
"Retirement is decided by the court. Who is retired and who is not is also decided by the court. No one is allowed to change or replace it, let alone anyone to resist or object."
"This is a mandatory decree!!!"
Fusu nodded.
He understood what Ji Heng meant.
This time, the whole process was completed by the Affairs Bureau, which only asked the South China Sea Army to do some coordination, but the military generals could not interfere in anything, and no intercession was allowed.
The decision-making power rests solely with him.
Ji Heng continued: "When you are investigating, focus on investigating some possible nepotism, rural parties, and some so-called guards in the army. At the same time, officials who are very close to some generals, as well as those who are not All the non-commissioned officers who were promoted quickly despite having achieved many military exploits were forced to retire from the army."
"I would rather kill by mistake than let go!"
"to be honest."
"You are here to purify the army."
"Get rid of some small groups and hills that may exist in the army. Now because Nanhai is about to start its third crusade against Baiyue, it is not suitable to make major moves on the generals, but it can still be done by pruning their wings."
"After you prune all these wings and re-promote some non-commissioned officers, these new middle- and lower-level non-commissioned officers are actually not very familiar with the generals above. It will definitely take some time to re-train confidants."
"But within a few years, the imperial court will make changes to the military generals to ensure that the army is always under the control of the imperial court."
"It is the duty of the military to obey orders."
"This order must be a military order from the imperial court!"
"Anyone in the army whose orders are higher than the military orders of the imperial court must be resolutely and thoroughly eradicated."
Fusu's eyes were serious.
He was also aware of the dangers involved.
Ji Heng looked at Fusu. He knew very well that Fusu hadn't fully realized it yet.
The current military system of Da Qin is different from that of later generations.
However, the prototype of a professional army has gradually taken shape, so private soldiers are not allowed to exist in the army. This will greatly damage the army and greatly weaken the prestige of the court. What the Qin army wants is to appear to be a piece of loose sand at other times. , and under the command of the Great Qin Military Order, he will transform into the tiger and wolf division that swallows up the world and shocks everyone in the world.
A second voice is not allowed in the military.
Ji Heng didn't say much about this.
Da Qin's military system has not yet reached that point, but it is just a warning to Fusu in advance to give him some mental construction.
He continued: "During your time in the South China Sea, you can also examine the situation of some middle- and lower-level generals in the army following the officials. Although these people are not high-ranking officials at the moment, if they are really talented, they may be entrusted with important tasks in the future. , he may not be able to become a famous official and general of Great Qin in the future."
Fusu's eyes were slightly strange.
He thought secretly in his heart.
Ji Heng's words are actually a bit dangerous.
This was clearly letting him cultivate his own wings in secret. If his father knew about this, he might be dissatisfied with him, which made Fusu feel a little uneasy and uneasy.
But he also understood what Ji Heng was thinking.
Although the Affairs Office is not a serious prince's office, it is still the first office he created. His trip to the South China Sea was enough for him to establish relationships with some officials with real talents and knowledge, and these people are not in the court. Generally speaking, it is unlikely to cause any reaction from the court, and it is indeed the most suitable target to win over.
It’s just that Ji Heng said this directly.
This made Fusu feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
Fusu said: "I will consider it. After all, these officials used to be officials in Guandong. They may be unfamiliar with the imperial court and even have strong prejudices against the imperial court. I will conduct an assessment secretly to see if these people really have different intentions. If so, These people are just deceived, and perhaps we can indeed win these people over."
Hear the words.
Ji Heng glanced at Fusu lightly.
He didn't want to expose Fusu's ambiguous words.
He had no intention of exposing it.
Now that Fusu's status is gradually rising, he is paying more and more attention to his words and deeds. This is actually a good thing, but it will gradually make people feel alienated.
But Ji Heng didn't care.
He doesn't care much about individuals, he is more concerned about the situation and direction of the world.
This is what interests him.
Game the world!
This is the feat of life.
aside.
Hu Hai looked at Fusu, who was bowing his head in silence, and then at Ji Heng, who was thinking far away, and said with some dissatisfaction: "You guys have said so much, how come it has nothing to do with me? I was attacked and killed in the South China Sea. You have to vent your anger for me, right?"
Fusu smiled bitterly.
He said: "Brother Hai, it's not that my brother doesn't want to, it's just that it's inconvenient."
"It's been more than a month since this happened. After such a long time, I'm afraid the evidence has been destroyed long ago. And now the court is more concerned about strengthening control over the army. I may not be able to vent my anger on your behalf."
Hu Hai frowned, his face full of displeasure.
The Golden Crow rises in the east.
The weather is getting hotter.
Fusu did not stay with Ji Heng for long.
After asking what he was going to do, he got on the carriage and left.
He still has a lot to do.
Watching Fu Su go away, Hu Hai frowned and said doubtfully: "Ji Heng, why do I feel that my eldest brother has changed? Now I feel that my eldest brother gives me a very cold feeling, with a bit of coldness, unlike in the past. That’s gentle.”
Ji Heng said calmly: "People change."
"Sometimes you can't help it."
"Even if you want to stay the same, this environment and this era will push you to change. If you don't change, you will be destined to be eliminated and abandoned by these eras. You are not young now, and you need to understand one thing. "
"The most ruthless emperor's family."
"The higher you are in a high position, the easier it is to be ruthless and desireless."
"The so-called benevolence."
"In fact, it is the greatest unkindness in the world."
Ji Heng shook his head.
He could clearly sense Fusu's changes.
And this is the only way for those in high positions.
It’s extremely cold at high places.
He took the beef Fusu brought to the back kitchen and prepared to treat himself well today, but as soon as he entered the backyard, Hu Hai came in immediately.
Hu Hai seemed to be very interested in Ji Heng's cooking techniques.
Ji Heng raised his eyebrows.
He couldn't help but secretly help his forehead.
Hu Hai seems to have a childlike innocence and is full of curiosity about everything. However, if he says that Hu Hai is really harmless to humans and animals, he might be deceived by Hu Hai. In fact, Hu Hai is very restless inside.
the other side.
After Fusu left Ji Heng's residence, he asked Wei Sheng to drive to Zhang Cang's official office.
He wanted to tell Zhang Cang what Ji Heng said.
Just approaching Zhang Cang's official office, Fusu was a little embarrassed, because he seemed to have tricked Zhang Cang many times, and this time he pushed Zhang Cang out again. Even he couldn't bear it, but in the end he was still ruthless. I made up my mind and walked in.
Hearing Fusu coming.
Zhang Cang's heart trembled inexplicably, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared.
Seeing Fusu, Zhang Cang's palms were already sweating, and he said uneasily: "I, Zhang Cang, have come to see Your Highness. I wonder what Your Highness wants me to do when you come to see me this time? I am really frightened in my heart."
Hear the words.
Fusu also burst out laughing.
He teased: "Zhang Cang, aren't you usually very calm? Why are you so nervous when you see me?"
Zhang Cang's eyes were filled with grievances.
Why is he so nervous? Do you still know?
It's never a good thing for Fusu to come to his door.
Fusu's smile faded and he did not continue to joke. He said with a smile: "When I come here this time, I really have something important for you to do, and I can only let you do it. You said before that you should open an affairs office. "
"His Majesty has agreed to this."
"It's just that I've been bothered by who should be chosen by the Affairs Office. Recently, I seem to have some ideas. But right now, the Affairs Office only has you and me, so I'm going to ask you to submit a letter for me."
Hearing Fusu's words, Zhang Cang raised his eyebrows.
He said solemnly: "Which officials did Your Highness choose? Can I ask a few questions?"
Fu Su said: "Of course you should know. Apart from you, they are all local officials, including Shi Yue from Qinting, Mao Chen from Yongcheng, Xiao He from Peixian County, etc."
Fusu named dozens of names in succession.
Hear the words.
Zhang Cang's expression suddenly changed.
He couldn't understand that no one except himself was related to the courtiers, and what Fusu said before was clearly asking him to submit the list. Wasn't this pushing him into a pit of fire?
Zhang Cang's head shook like a rattle.
He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, no, absolutely no."
"I am terrified."
Fusu waved his hand to stop Zhang Cang's refusal and said in a deep voice: "In my heart, only Zhang Yushi is the most suitable person for this matter. Zhang Yushi is responsible for the daily accounting work and has a certain understanding of local officials. of."
Zhang Cang quickly denied: "Your Highness really thinks highly of me. I really have no understanding of these officials. I have always neglected my duties in the past, Your Highness."
"Just let me go."
Zhang Cang had already shed tears of grievance.
He was really scared.
In the past, he only offended the officials of the Yushi Mansion, but he managed to cope with it under various self-protection measures. Now, he has offended courtiers of all sizes. Wouldn't this cost his life?
How dare he take this matter?
Fusu smiled half-heartedly and said, "Zhang Cang, do you really not understand these people?"
Zhang Cang was startled and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "After all, I am responsible for the plan. I have some understanding of it, but I only heard the name, and I don't know anything else."
"You have understood it before, and that is enough." Fusu decided.
Zhang Cang's face darkened.
Fusu pretended not to have seen it and continued: "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. This matter is not too offensive, and you don't need to go to the South China Sea. You can just stay in Xianyang and handle the relevant political affairs with the officials of the Prime Minister's Office. Can."
After hearing Fusu's words, Zhang Cang's face turned even darker.
It's better to go to the South China Sea.
immediately.
Zhang Cang seemed to realize something, and his heart suddenly tightened. He secretly raised his head and glanced at Fusu, with a suspicious look in his eyes.
He felt that this might not have been written by Fusu.
But Ji Heng!
Just thinking about the pressure he had to bear, Zhang Cang suddenly felt numb. He still wanted to refuse, but before he could continue to speak, Fusu stopped him.
Zhang Cang's face was as dark as ink.
He really wants to find a place to hide now.
I have been tricked more than once, how can this continue?
Is Zhang Cang really so miserable?
Is this the price you pay for eating too much honey?
This price is too heavy.
