There are four types of salary paid by officials in the Great Sui Dynasty, namely, rice, job distribution, monthly salary, and labor classes.

As a fifth-rank official, Li Chongjiu, has a lot of income. Yang Guangti was missing the wasteland town, so he specially converted his salary into rice and grain to reward the army.

This is also a considerable income.

Of course, the happiest thing was that Yang Guang appointed Li Chongjiu as the chief magistrate of Shanggu County and was responsible for pacifying more than 100,000 entrenched in Shanggu County. There were more than 100,000 Wei Daoer gathered in Lishan, and the increasingly rampant thieves.

When Zhou Xu and others heard that Li Chongjiu and Gujun Tongshi were all overjoyed.

Although Tongshou is not as good as the county magistrate, when the county magistrate is not present, Li Chongjiu is equivalent to a local official of Mu Shu. In Shanggu County, Li Chongjiu is the top leader.

Zhou Xu, Ji Chuan, Liu Yi and the other three thought they would die of old age in Huaihuang Town. But in the blink of an eye, Li Chongjiu became a guard. As the first aides to join the camp, they also rose with the rise. Not only is the future promising, but even the second-ranking officials in a county in the future are also expected.

This was not their delusion. After the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, although the expedition system that had been passed down for thousands of years was abolished, the selection of local talents was all attributed to the Ministry of Personnel.

But after all, the system has been deeply rooted over the years. As a local county magistrate, you can still recruit secondary officials from each county on your own. The court is just a form of appointment.

However, if Zhou Xu and the others want to take office, all this will be possible only if Li Chongjiu recovers Shanggu County first and quells the rebellion.

Li Chongjiu was also happy. Yang Guang's move was just to send you a pillow when he wanted to sleep. He was determined to advance Shanggu County, and this was indeed an excuse to be open and upright.

If you conquer Shanggu County's own status, it will be very different. Not to mention that every man has the ambition to compete in the world.

Even if Li Yuan took a step back, even if he was worried about his poor family, he would not marry Li Zhiwan to him for the sake of the garrison of a county.

By then, Li Chongjiu and Li Yuan will form an alliance.

If the general trend of Li Yuan and Li Shimin's seizing the world in the future is irreversible, then there is no need for Li Chongjiu to go against the trend and first join the Li family. It is also good to be the prince of the Li family. Finally, let's see the changes in Xuanwu Gate and whether he can finally find a glimmer of opportunity for himself.

The people on the grassland are so strong that it is better to be in the Central Plains. At present, Li Chongjiu couldn't wait to go to Shanggu County to take office.

Li Chongjiu immediately arranged the personnel appointments of Yingyang Mansion to officials who promulgated the imperial edicts, and submitted them to the Ministry of Personnel for approval.

Except for the deputy general Yingjilang who was vacant and could not be appointed by himself, Wang Mahan, Tan Zong, Ying Hefu, and Ertuo reported to him as lieutenants, all of whom were sixth ranks.

The long history vacant.

Ji Chuan served as the record officer, Zhou Xu served as Sima, and Liu Yi served as the Cangcao served as the army.

Of course, this is a formality. The Ministry of Personnel will generally agree to Li Chongjiu's recommendations.

Later, after a few days of conquering the provincial officials in Huaihuang, they watched the establishment of the Li Chongjiu Meng Pavilion. When they saw the officers and children studying together, they were amazed.

Hearing that Li Chongjiu used foreigners as his army, he couldn't help but worry for him again and warned Li Chongjiu that the foreigners could not be intimate. Later, the officials from the provincial government were quite satisfied with the emperor's patrol. After staying for a while, they returned to the Dongdu to report to Yang Guang.

Of course, Li Chongjiu also sent him a considerable amount of Cheng Yi.

With the appointment, officials in Huaihuang Town can also take their own positions. Even though major and minor matters are constantly being made, officials can solve the problem by themselves.

In addition, winter is approaching on the grassland and traffic is cut off. If the white-haired wind blows, it is impossible for any tribe to travel at this time. Therefore, during the whole winter, there is no need to worry about the Turkic and Khitan people coming to attack.

Li Chongjiu asked Ji Chuan and the other three to discuss and organize the internal affairs of Huaihuang Town, while the government soldiers were handed over to Wang Mahan, Tan Zong and Ying Hefu, and they were responsible for themselves.

As for the garrison troops, each has a brigade leader, and the private households also have party leaders, and the central officials supervise each other at each level.

Li Chongjiu could completely let go with peace of mind and let his subordinates handle the matter of Huaihuang Town on his behalf.

He decided to take the post to Shanggu County as the heavy snow had not been completely covered.

Although the thief in Shanggu County is very powerful, even Yi County, where the county seat is located, has been captured. Now among the six counties in Shanggu, only Feihu County is still under control.

After several days of preparation, Li Chongjiu ordered people to make a flag and wrote seven big words "Li" in Shanggu, Da Sui.

After the flag-making was completed, Li Chongjiu brought his forehead support and added a thunder cavalry group composed of armored cavalry. He set out from Huaihuang Town and headed to Shanggu County.

From Huaihuang Town to Shanggu County, the direct distance from the map should be from Huailai County, the nearest Zhuo County, but there is a barrier here, so the army generally cannot cross mountains and ridges.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu and his team had to go around more than a hundred miles, enter the outer Great Wall from Huaihuang Town, then go from Lingqiu County in Yanmen County, take Feihu Road, and then go to Shanggu County.

When the Turks invaded, Lingqiu County was attacked the most violently, and the whole county was almost empty. This time, when Li Chongjiu returned to Lingqiu County, he was still uninhabited.

The city walls of Lingqiu County were broken. After the Turks were captured, all three thousand soldiers and civilians were killed. The city was set on fire by the Turks and turned into ruins.

Although Lingqiu County is very ruined, it has an important geographical location. It was later renamed Weizhou, which is one of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun that everyone knows.

This place is also the border line that confronts the Later Liao and Song dynasties.

After passing Lingqiu County, I took the Feihu Road directly to Feihu County, Shanggu County.

Feihukou, which guards the Feihu Road, is one of the eight passes of Taihang. It has been an important road for Shanxi to go to Hebei since ancient times.

Here are dangerous passes and steep mountains, which is the easternmost end of Taihang Mountain.

After the cedes of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, all the dangers of the Great Wall outside the Northern Song Dynasty were lost. Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty court had to build a defense line against the Khitan with the natural dangers of Yanmen and Feihukou area around the Feihukou area.

This line of defense lost half of Taihang Mountain, and because of the natural danger of Yanshan Mountain, the battle between Song and Liao has always been at a disadvantage.

After passing Feihukou, he stepped into Hebei from Shanxi. It was no longer Yanmen County, but Shanggu County.

Feihu County is located at the eastmost part of Yanmen County. The Juma River passes around the county and is directly injected into the digging lid, which is today's Baiyangdian.

When Li Chongjiu arrived at Feihu City, the city he saw seemed to have experienced a tragic siege not long ago.

On the ground, the abandoned nest cart was dumped under the city wall. The corpses in gray clothes were scattered under the city wall in groups of three or two. The blood had long dried up, and the corpses should have frozen to stones and hard.

The worst thing is that at the city gate, the city wall was burned almost like charcoal, and half of the city tower was simply burned away.
