As the rising sun is rising, the golden sunshine shines on the unshaved snow, driving away the cold accumulated in the long night and bringing a hint of warmth.

Zhang Chao carried his father's fifteen-pound iron spear and finally arrived in front of the Bailuche Cavalry Mansion Camp. At the door, he squatted on the wall and the on-duty soldiers basking in the sun, and quickly met him.

"Brother Tie Gun, I came here so early today."

"What, why did you find a young man to help you carry a gun today? Whose young man is this? He looks so handsome?"

The father grinned and said to the two guys happily, "This is my son, Zhang Chao."

"You think we are so lie, when will such a big son appear?"

"I received it, can't do it?"

"Really, then we have to congratulate you." The two guys looked around Zhang Chao enthusiastically.

"That's really a happy ending, old iron spear. We have some good news to tell you. I heard from the general that you are going to award a medal."

Now is the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although it had just won the battle of the Central Plains, the world was not decided. Therefore, Li Tang was still very generous to the soldiers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. If those soldiers who went to the battlefield had military achievements, they would have a great chance of winning the honors.

In order to reward the soldiers, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty also adopted Yang Guang's sanshu and Yang Jian's sanshu official titles to reward merits. These names are called the titles of the founding honors of the country.

However, the honorary title and honorary official are still in parallel at this time. The honorary title is characterized by leisure, while the honorary official is characterized by scatteredness. The honorary title is rankless, and the honorary official is rankless, and the honorary official is rankless at this time, and the honorary official is rank and even promoted.

Li Yuan started his rebellion in Taiyuan, and in order to win people's hearts, he awarded a large number of honors. At this time, it was already a bit flooding. Therefore, the court is now adjusting this, with the intention to abolish the flood of honors and integrate the honors into the system of honor officials.

There are actually two sets of honors under the name of the founding honor of the country, one is a set of titles of a single position under the name of various doctors, and the other is a single official named as the governor, general and other martial arts positions in the Zhou and Sui Dynasty. The first set of these two sets of honors is mainly awarded to local rural figures, and the latter set is mainly awarded to soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the army.

Of course, the most valuable thing is the system of honorary officials led by Shangzhu Kingdom.

Later, the Tang Dynasty, the two sets of civil and military officials gradually formed the civil and military officials, but did not eventually integrate into the system of honorary officials. The civil and military officials later became an important standard for officials in the Tang Dynasty to determine the rank. The officials were given a dispersed position first, and the rank was determined by the officials.

But now, the scattered positions and scattered officials have been over-represented, and they have become just a name, which is really a world of difference compared to the honorary officials.

At the very least, there are honors and fields for awarding honors, while honors and names do not have land.

Although my father is only a troupe commander of the government army, he is also known as the title of Guochu, and he is also the eighth-level commander-in-chief of the tenth rank of Guochu.

The Grand Commander sounds cool, but it is just a name. When awarding a medal, there will be a reward of money and food, and then there will be no other use.

Therefore, my father heard that he wanted to award a medal again, but he did not agree.

"Oh, you are an old spear, and you have installed it. Let me tell you, it is not a meritorious name, but a meritorious official. The Wuqiwei who is in the twelve transformations of the meritorious official."

The honorary officials have twelve turns, and the Wuqiwei has one turns, which is the lowest level.

But even at the lowest level, the Martial Cavalry Commander is considered to be at the seventh level.

A great official has a rank but no position. To put it bluntly, he enjoys treatment of a certain level, but he doesn't care about the matter. The most important thing to enjoy treatment is that the honor official is granting land.

The Wuqiwei, who had been transferred, was awarded 60 acres of land according to the system. This was a permanent land grant, and it was not necessary to return it like the dividing of land. Moreover, the level of the honorary officials was high, so the children could still be in the public.

"Oh, is that?"

Dad seemed a little too calm.

Zhang Chao felt that his father was a person who had experienced great storms and had been a lieutenant. The infantry captain was a sixth rank and a lieutenant. Although Zhang Chao had never heard of his father saying that he had awarded him a lieutenant honorary official in the Sui Dynasty, he had all lieutenant officials. A lieutenant who had been through the battle formation for a long time would definitely not be low. Under normal circumstances, military generals and officials were higher than those of officials.

My father, who has experienced many ups and downs and has been accustomed to strong winds and waves, seems to be a little overwhelmed.

In the eyes of those unknown Guanzhong soldiers, they regarded the seventh-rank Wuqiwei as a very good person. One person can divide him into sixty acres of land. But his father was very calm.

In the morning, many soldiers from Bailu Cheqi Mansion came one after another. Most of them were summoned to return home last time, and now they are here to receive the reward.

When the troops went on a battle, it was not that the entire military troops were summoned to fight at one time, but that just like the guards and guards, they were also divided into batches.

My father was summoned to fight for more than ten months last time. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, he went to fight for more than ten months, so he would be exempted from the list within ten months after he came back.

It turns out that the Bailu Chariot Mansion is in May, with one hundred and sixty people in groups, each group takes turns to last one month. It takes two turns to last one month. Now that I have been on the battle for nearly a year, I will be exempted from the next two turns to last two months.

This year, when we went to the Central Plains, it was a siege against Luoyang, and the battle against Dou Jiande's Huzhu was not lasting, and the war was not fierce. Therefore, the soldiers who went to the White Deer Chariot and Cavalry Mansion basically returned.

The soldiers in the palace have no food, salary and salary, but there are subsidies for training, guarding, and going to the battle. Especially when recruiting and fighting, there are subsidies, and there are rewards for making meritorious deeds. If the war is good, there are rewards.

Zhang Chao stood on the school ground of the chess mansion carrying his father's gun, and found that this looked like a military camp, but it looked like a market in the countryside.

Lively and noisy.

There were 800 people in the Cheqi Mansion and 160 people in the Beijing Martial Arts. The 16th was trained and on duty in the military mansion. The remaining three shifts were farming at home. The last shift was 16th, the father and the others. After returning from the war, they all rushed to the military mansion to receive the reward subsidies today.

The group of people on duty stopped training today, and they all surrounded the returning comrades, or the villagers, on the playground. The eight hundred soldiers of the Bailuche Qiqi Mansion were either neighbors or relatives.

The Tang Dynasty's military system was actually based on the equal-field system from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.

Five households are for protection, hundreds of households are for the village, and five miles are for the village.

The Tang Dynasty inspected and selected the soldiers of the government once every three years, and basically two dynas were charged for each guarantee. The calculation was based on the calculation of five households and two dynas per household. To be more specific, those with equal wealth were given strong, those with equal strength were given wealth, and those with equal financial resources were given, so the long dynas were given first.

Once selected, you will be named a military name and will serve for life, from the age of twenty-one to sixty-one.

The soldiers of Bailu Cheqi Mansion basically come from Bailu Township and several surrounding townships, so everyone is acquaintance of all the villages.

My father and his group went to war. When they went there, there were more than 150 people when they came back, less than ten people died and more than ten were injured, but not very serious, which was a very good result.

The two squads of soldiers gathered together, just like the old farmers gathered during banquets in the countryside.

Three and five groups, just find a piece of land to squat and chat together.

When we talked about the one from the group and the brigade who died in battle, everyone sighed together, and some people said that he was still the third brother of my third uncle and eldest brother's son, but it was a pity that he was still so young.

Everyone talked about the past of the dead, talked about the situation on the battlefield at that time, and talked about the pitiful orphan and widowed mother he left behind.

But after all, everyone has not complained too much about war or court. Joining the army and serving in war is a natural thing for everyone, and it is as normal as farming and paying imperial grain.

It was almost noon and everyone was talking about it. At this time, the general of the chariot and cavalry came out.

There are also a group of officers such as Sigong Sicang in the Cheqi Mansion, as well as officers at all levels such as the lieutenant, brigade commander, and team leader.

On the way back after the battle, my father and the others reported the records of the war in the Central Plains to Chang'an, and they had already checked them during this period. Now, the superiors have verified their military merits and began to issue military merit rewards and subsidies for the expedition to the triumphant soldiers.

General Cheqi was a man in his fifties, with a strong and gray hair. Several of his subordinates looked very powerful, but the brigade coaches who were waiting further down were not much different from ordinary farmers.

In addition to more than 300 soldiers in the school, there were also many onlookers, including family members of the government army like Zhang Chao, and some residents in the village.

Today, the military camp is so lively that there are even some smart villagers who have set up stalls at the entrance of the camp, or set up a stove, start cooking noodles with pancakes, and prepare to take the opportunity to do a few transactions.

The general of the chariots and cavalry did not stop or drive away the civilians who entered the military camp, and let everyone stand or squat to watch the fun.

There are not much subsidies for money and food to go to the battle. If there is no military merit, there will be very little reward, especially money.

The newly cast Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Tang Dynasty was bright and yellow, but many soldiers in the palace only received three or four hundred.

This amount surprised Zhang Chaoda. After going to fight for ten months, he actually gave him a subsidy of more than 300 cents. More than 300 cents is not more than 300 cents. On average, only 300 cents a month is only 300 cents a month, and one cent a day is subsidy?

This is too stingy, what can you do with a penny?

But when he looked at the Guanzhong men, he was extremely happy when he heard the name and went up to collect money. His teeth were exposed. Three or four hundred cents were money, which seemed to be a large sum of money in their eyes.

After ten months of fighting, I only exchanged two or three kilograms of copper coins? Zhang Chao couldn't figure it out.

After sending the copper coin subsidy, he started to distribute grains again. The grain sent was millet, which was more, and basically everyone had about one stone. This stone was ten dou, ten liters per dou, which was a volume unit. The weight of rice, wheat, etc. was different in the same volume, but Zhang Chao estimated that one stone of millet was only 1120 kilograms. Fortunately, it was removed from the shell. Otherwise, Zhang Chao would really not believe that the Tang Dynasty was so stingy.

Only after the money and grain subsidies are paid is the reward of military merit.

Military merit rewards include both individual and collective military achievements.

The number of achievements of each person has been reviewed by a special person in the imperial court, so now the Cheqi Mansion is only distributing the corresponding rewards according to the achievements above.

Some people have more military achievements and more rewards. Some people have less rewards, and some have less rewards. Some people have no rewards.

Military merits include rewards for honors, money, food, cloth, silk, gold and silver. Of course, there are also rewards for honors and officials and promotions.
