Chapter 56 The original structure of interests

"General, we are regular soldiers, not horse thieves!"

Qian Song, the star official who was responsible for managing military discipline, once again made a comment to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo raised his hand and stroked his bald head and said, "It's just shaving your hair, do you have to worry about this?"

Qian Song helplessly pointed at the bald guards of Li Dingguo, who were all bald, and said, "If you have something to do with the superiors, you will be able to help you."

Li Ding Guodao: "You know what a bad thing, it's cool!"

Qian Song tightened his clothes when he heard this. At the end of September, the autumn grass was withered and yellow and cold wind was chilly. It was a very excessive thing to say that it was cool at this time. The reason why the general shaved his hair was purely a whim!

"General, you will go back to Lantian to attend the conference. You will not wear a helmet and instead wear a robe. It will be a bad impression if you have a naked head."

"Have you ever had a hair on Yun Yang's head?"

"General, this is incomparable. General Yun Yang doesn't have hair on his head."

"Get out of here, otherwise I will whip you."

"Since that's the case, we will record this matter on the record."

"casual."

Seeing Li Dingguo riding a group of bald bandits leaving the camp, Qian Song could only lament and shout at the onlookers: "What do you think? Those who dare to shave their hair will be engaged in military law."

The soldiers let out a laugh and slowly dispersed. After all, the military judge could laugh at him, but the orders he issued could not be disobeyed.

Li Dingguo rode his horse on the grassland, but his mood did not change as empty as the grassland.

This year, there is not much rain on the grassland, and many grasses in the pastures are only an inch long. What’s worse is that the rain has not fallen until autumn begins, and the rivers, streams and lakes on the grassland have dried up one after another.

This drought that was hard to meet in decades greatly reduced the range of pastures. The herdsmen who were originally covered with grasslands gathered in places with water, which further exacerbated the tension in the pastures.

This time of year is the most fat time for cattle and sheep, but this year it is not done. If the autumn fat of cattle and sheep is not covered, it will be difficult to survive the cold winter when the blockage is blocked.

On the high slope of Zhuma, Li Dingguo looked at the endless grassland, and felt very confused.

He thought he was a qualified general.

However, as a general, he now has to take care of the shepherds, cattle and sheep, which makes him feel so empty that he doesn't know where to start.

In the past, the people of Lantian had no obligation to face the herders on the grassland.

The cattle and sheep are sick, the grassland is deteriorating, and it is nothing to do if there is no water to drink.

At that time, the number of shepherds and cattle and sheep can be effectively reduced by robbing soldiers. After doing so, the remaining shepherds and cattle and sheep will naturally have enough water source and pastures.

In such an era, the people of Lantian took on the responsibility of the wolf pack... and were responsible for eliminating the weak and retaining the strong.

Now that's not done, their wolves have turned into sheepdogs.

The shepherds pay taxes and are responsible for the supply of meat and large livestock in Lantian, and their status in Lantian is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, when they encounter trouble, they will naturally seek help from the government.

Therefore, the reduction of water sources, the degradation of grasslands, and the failure of cattle and sheep to gain weight in autumn, it is nothing to do with him. Moreover, if he can't handle this matter well, he has no shame to go back to Lantian, and he can't face Zhang Guozhu's annoying face.

It is embarrassing to say that the most important task of the majestic Li Dingguo Legion is to find the remaining good pastures and water sources for these herdsmen.

After finding a good pasture and water source, you must also be responsible for clearing the wolves around the pasture.

Lantian’s Civil Law says it is very clear that if the shepherd is taken away by a wolf, it means that the government has dereliction of duty and needs compensation.

In the past, the water plants around Lantian City were the most abundant. Chilechuan was less than fifty miles away from Lantian City. Unfortunately, places suitable for growing grass are generally suitable for growing crops.

The Chilechuan has long been reclaimed into fertile land by the farmers belonging to Lantian.

After nine days of gaining nothing, Li Dingguo shaved his hair when he was irritated.

"I am a wolf from the north, standing in the vast wilderness, the shrill north wind blows by, and the long yellow sand passes by, I can only bit my cold teeth and respond with two long roars... for nothing else... just for the legendary beautiful grassland."

Li Dingguo looked at the bald bastard who was singing indifferently. He had heard this song countless times. It was sung by Yun Zhao when he was bored in Lantian City. Now many people can sing this song.

When Li Dingguo heard it at this time, he felt that he was humiliating him.

"Go into Yinshan."

Li Dingguo knocked his horse's belly with both feet and then rushed to Yinshan first.

According to the meteorological records of Lantian City, it will snow here in half a month. If a large area of ​​grassland cannot be found, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep will start slaughtering in large quantities.

In the coming year, the herdsmen's cattle and sheep will be lost at least half.

The cavalry scattered, searching for a valley, and as long as the valley had water and grass, they would record it, and then quickly told the civil servants that they would start to disperse the cattle and sheep of the herders.

Zhang Guofeng is doing the same thing, and they haven't met in two months.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye. When the clouds enveloped the head, Li Dingguo's beard, like a steel needle, was half an inch long, and his hair was drilled out of his scalp, but he was in good spirits.

After all, they found thirteen valleys suitable for herders to spend the winter.

It is not difficult to find a suitable valley, but the difficulty is how to drive away the wild animals here in Pan Heng.

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, the most wild animals are yellow sheep, and there are also many wolves in the places where there are many yellow sheep.

The meat of yellow sheep is delicious, but it has little effect on Lantian. This kind of sheep has little economic value. Whether it is meat or skinning, wool is incomparable to the sheep raised.

The use of grenades, cavalry, bows and arrows, muskets, and even light artillery finally drove away these wild animals and emptyed out one pretty good pasture after another.

As for how those wild animals survived the winter, Li Dingguo had never thought about these things.

The herds gathered at Lantian City have been placed in vain, and Li Dingguo can finally sleep in his tent with peace of mind.

Zhang Guofeng was also extremely tired when she came back, and she would be exhausted after running on the grassland for two months.

"The powers of civilian officials and military officials should be completely separated. This is the bill I plan to propose at the conference. What do you think?"

Li Dingguo was too lazy to open his eyes and muttered: "You can do it."

Zhang Guofeng said again: "Don't you have many ideas on military construction? Are you not going to talk about it?"

Li Dingguo opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent and said, "I don't believe that Yun Zhao will really delegate power to this level."

Zhang Guofeng said: "Until now, Yun Zhao has not broken his promise yet."

Li Dingguo sat up and patted his head and said, "I think Yun Zhao has many things. Once these powers are decentralized, we will have a lot of trouble in doing things in the future. Multiple people negotiate and a certain proportion can be reached before the matter can be passed.

It’s far less refreshing than Yun Zhao’s decision alone.”

Zhang Guofeng smiled and said, "Lantian is very big, and he is obviously too busy alone. In governance, it is not only about looking at the general direction, but also taking into account details. It is a big matter that is rough and fine, and it is better to discuss it more."

"I heard from Xie Zhi that there is a disadvantage in doing this, that is, a large number of central government departments need to be established, and then correspondingly they will be established at the provincial level. I am afraid that the prefectures and even counties will have the same departments to facilitate vertical management.

More people eat at the official meal, which is not good for the people.

Some people have put forward relatively proposals such as streamlining military affairs. This will reduce the burden on the people, but there will be problems in doing things safely.

Guofeng, in short, this conference is likely to be a confusing one.

You shouldn’t spend time on this.”

Zhang Guofeng smiled and shook her head. Seeing that Li Dingguo had fallen asleep again, he walked out of the military tent.

The soldiers in the military camp were always busy. When the ranch was found, the army also had to help the herdsmen prepare hay. Seeing the piles of hay being bundled into bundles and transported out of the military camp on ox carts, the smile on Zhang Guofeng's face never disappeared.

He likes to watch scenes like this.

Because this is a scene of a prosperous era, the army is helping the people, not harming them.

He is different from Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo grew up in a robber's nest since he was a child and was not guided by a good person. He always thinks of human nature very badly. As long as there is one point in a matter, he will think that everything is bad.

This is the standard idea of ​​a hero. Cao Cao was adhering to this idea that he accidentally killed Lu Boshe's family.

Zhang Guofeng has been helping Li Dingguo over the years, hoping to change his character. Unfortunately, the effect has not been too great. When he was young, his living environment was not good, which made it difficult for him to believe in people.

"The General of Dingguo is too at will..."

Qian Song finally waited until Zhang Guofeng came back, and hurriedly reported what he did in the military camp.

Zhang Guofeng stopped Qian Song and continued to say, saying to Qian Song: "Don't be too dogmatic, some people are born to be unrestrained."

Qian Song said: "I did not mean to sue the general of the country. As soon as the National Congress was held, Lantian's characterization of the army would be completed. I heard from my classmates that our military system was completely different from the previous military system and had very big changes.

The county master has personally inspected the Gao Jie Legion, Lei Heng Legion, Yunfu Legion, and Yunyang Legion on this tour, but only our county master has not seen it personally, so I am very worried.

General Dingguo is our leader. If he is treated differently, then it will have a great impact on our legion.”

Zhang Guofeng looked at Qian Song and sighed: "Do you know that county magistrate doesn't like that kind of person the most?"

Qian Song bowed and said, "Please give me advice, General."

Zhang Guofeng whispered: "The county magistrate dislikes the person who plays power tricks the most. You have this kind of sign now, pinch it off immediately, otherwise it will not be of any benefit to you in the future."
