Liu Bei went to comfort Ma Chao's left army, and Tian Xin accepted the new city built on the north bank of the Han River, which was three miles north of the original site of Fancheng, and the circumference of the city was twelve miles.

Many people thought that this new city would be called Hanyang, or Xiacheng, or it might continue to be called Fancheng, or Dengcheng, or Yuncheng.

In order to build the city, the strongholds of the fortress within a radius of 100 miles have been demolished.

"It's not appropriate to call it Hanyang, but it's more appropriate to change the name of Hankou City to Hanyang."

Tian Xin and Tian Rui, the commander of the Fu army who oversaw the work, walked on the city wall, thinking about the name of the new city, just like thinking of a name for his son, which gave him a headache for a long time.

It's not that I can't think of it, but it's a simple difficulty in choosing.

"Fan, it means a cage, and it's not appropriate."

"It's called Zhenyuan City, help me destroy Zhang Wenyuan's army."

Tian Xin made a decision, and someone immediately brought a plaque to ask Tian Xin to write the name of the city.

Tian Rui asked again: "There are five city gates in Zhenyuan City, why don't you name them one by one?" ”

"It's okay, change the pen."

The new plaque is brought in, Tian Xin writes one by one, there are Yangwu North Gate, Huya West Gate, Yingyang East Gate, Anzhong South Gate, Jianxin Water Gate.

The Water Gate is on the east side of the South Gate and is connected to the Han River.

Relying on the river is the key to the rapid development of a city.

Tian Rui looked at the names of these city gates with some displeasure, frowned, and Tian Xin also explained: "There are no armies born and died for the country, how can there be today's Zhenyuan New Town?" The uncle's position as the secretary of state in the future can be expected, and the Mai Chengtian family is also expected to be a family of princes and hairpins, so he should be pragmatic and avoid hypocrisy. ”

Seeing that the expressions of the subordinate officials were different, Tian Rui's face was a little stiff, and he smiled to relieve the embarrassment: "That's it, it's still filial piety to see it thoroughly." ”

Tian Xin didn't say anything more, the Tian family is just a cold family, it is a branch of the Jingzhao Tian family, the Jingzhao Tian family is barely a famous family, at least there is an allusion to one of the twenty-four filial pieties.

It's just that in the late Han Dynasty, the competition in Guanzhong was fierce, and the Jing Zhaotian clan was nothing.

Let Tian Rui be a county magistrate, or a county officer, and if he can be qualified, there will be no mistakes. can be in a higher position, with more resources and opportunities in his hands, too many people will drill and curry favor, which will make Tian Rui fluttering and begin to pay attention to the so-called pomp and face.

What is the face of the Tian family?

Tian Xin doesn't think there is, and there is no need to have it.

Fortunately, when the Maicheng household law was promulgated, the Tian clan was divided, and my grandfather followed his uncle's family, and it was compiled into one household registration.

Since receiving the title of Sanke, his own lineage is the Han Sanke, and Tian Rui's family is from Maicheng, which is the Maicheng Tian clan, and may develop into the Nanjun Tian clan in the future. Tian Ji's branch settled in Zhaoyangyi, and in the future, it may be the Tian clan of Sui County, and Tian Ji may become the second of Sima Sui Tho.

Tian Ji's official identity is now in the official capacity, that is, the self-proclaimed self-title of Liu Bei in the official document is 'Foreign Minister Zhaoyang Sima Ji', nominally the commander of the Zhaoyang Yi Army, but in fact the commander of the Northern Army of the Sixth Army outside Beifu.

If Tian Ji had always served as Sima of Zhaoyangyi, after more than ten or twenty years, he might get used to his new name 'Sima Ji'. It is also possible that in order to commemorate Tian Ji's merits and official positions, the descendants of Tian Ji divided several branches and changed them to the Sima clan.

Sima of Zhaoyangyi is a great honor in itself, and he has the foundation for this Yi clan.

Tian Xin is also, in the future, the descendants of the concubine may be changed to the Xiahou clan, which is the unique glory of Sanke's status.

Just like Ma Chao, if you give Sanke the status and make Ma Chao enshrine the Win Qin Temple, Win Qin is the surname Zhao, according to the rules of the current Han Sanke, then Ma Chao himself should be Zhao Gong, and his son should be named Marquis of Qin.

Then Ma Chao's self-proclaimed, or called Zhao Chao, is also very likely and common-sense.

This is the way the development of surnames and names is like this, and it has not yet been completely finalized and has the activity of change.

In the same way, among the descendants of Guan Yu, the Song family and the Shang family will definitely be divided; Zhang Fei's descendants will appear Wei and Zhou, and maybe in a few decades, there will be good people who will call Zhang Fei Ji Fei, and Guan Yu will be Ziyu.

Tian Rui now has too many things that he wants to ask Tian Xin in person to determine the bottom line of his own work.

He used to be the lieutenant of Tuntian in Maicheng, and what he actually managed was nothing more than Turkish-Han disputes, and rarely involved personnel transfers.

Now participating in the construction of the new city, there are few people who dare to compete with him for power, and no matter how strong the person is, he will give him part of his authority. Holding the power in his hand, his nephew is the Han Xiahou, the future Chen Gong, Tian Rui has no shortage of smart people around him, and the sluggish officials can't squeeze in front of him.

Tian Xin doesn't like subordinates who are too smart, these guys can serve you very comfortably, but no matter how you look at it, you are a bit of a thief and a liar.

I'd rather promote a young man like Li Heng who has no foundation to be a close assistant than find a few shrewd officials who can do things.

There are too few officials who can control their hands and feet and keep to themselves.

People work so hard and toss things around, there must be a purpose. Therefore, compared with ordinary shrewd officials, Tian Xin likes cool officials who are obsessed with promotion and merit.

Draw a line for the cool officials, what to do, what not to do, what to reward, what to punish, all make it clear, take what they need, and cooperate happily with each other.

Just as he was inspecting all parts of the new city, Zhuge Ke of Jiangling Wharf reached out and grabbed a handful of Chen rice, and stared at the Jingzhou sergeant who was carrying the sack in his hand.

The subordinate Hu Yan waited, and after a while, he saw Zhuge Ke throwing the rice in his hand into the river beside him: "Order, all 100,000 stone meters will sink into the water, and our army will return in a light boat." ”

Hu Yan looked surprised, and immediately someone stood up and shouted excitedly: "Duwei, this 100,000 stone rice is not compared to others!" ”

Zhuge Ke pointed at this person with his long arm: "You dare to disobey? ”

"Left and right, punish him!"

Immediately, the tiger ben given by Sun Quan came out of the ranks, and he dragged the subordinate to the river and beheaded him.

A large mass of blood stained the river water by the wharf, and then bags of old rice were sprinkled into the river water, mixed together, and a little residual rice husk floated on the surface of the river, and the soil was yellow and yellow.

Bags of rice sank into the water, and the soldiers of Nanjun County, who carried the rice, returned to the granary in the city with empty sacks, continued to hold the rice, carried it, and poured it into the water.

After Li Yan learned of this, he hurriedly climbed to the south gate tower of Jiangling, looked at all this in front of him, couldn't believe it, and shouted: "This is not like the behavior of the prime minister's nephew!" ”

"Father, this act of harming others and oneself is sinister in its intentions."

Li Feng was distressed, the grain was so gone, in order to produce more food, the Han army officials often haunted the ridges; In order to save food, I did not eat less wild vegetables, berries, fish and shrimp.

In particular, the Beifu Army traded dried shellfish, shells, and dried fish in Xiangzhou with cloth, in order not to save grain that was easy to store and transport?

Li Yan felt dizzy, his eyes were a little flowery, 100,000 stone meters were so sinking?

He held on to the guardrail in his hand and was furious: "Go and inform Your Majesty and Xiahou!" ”

"Father, do you just let Zhuge Ke go?"

"Grain is Jiangdong's grain, does my father still want to rob Jiangdong's abandoned rice? Being a father can be shameless, but where is the majesty of the Han? ”

Li Yan scolded angrily: "Those who are close to ink are black, nothing more than that!" ”

100,000 stone meters is very important, but the face of the country is even more important.

Zhuge Ke sank 100,000 stones in Jiangling, and it quickly spread throughout Jingxiang and Xiangzhou.

Both military and civilian officials were surprised and then angry.
