Chapter Ninety-One: The New Year Is Approaching
At the end of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the number of naturalized fangs in Chuzhou exceeded 30,000. Although the foreign dynasty was still arguing about the abolition of feudalism, Li Ke, the governor of the Anlu Metropolitan Governor's Office, Wu Wang, still reported the good news.
Although even in the Han Dynasty, the central government had already understood the way to deal with the barbarians, and suppressed and appeased at the same time. Among them, how to suppress it is not difficult, and it can be summed up as the set of King Goujian of Yue, and the implementation is the method of King Qin of previous dynasties. But how to caress is really exquisite.
Often one of the external manifestations of an internal political struggle is how to deal with the barbarians.
and even the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings", which was born from the brain-dead policy, and the start of a series of brain-dead vendettas later, are just a continuation of politics.
Among them, the characters who appeared on the scene were those celebrities, those families, and those nobles.
Why is Wuhou highly respected by all dynasties? It is precisely because it is rare, difficult to do, and difficult to do.
"Didn't it cause Han Fang's dissatisfaction? There must be a reason for this. ”
This year's snow is very large, and outside the Taiji Palace, there is a thick layer. It is difficult for cars and horses to travel on Suzaku Street, and if there is no coal stove and briquettes in the workshop, I am afraid that firewood will not be able to deal with it for a few days. A briquette from the Diaoyutai Workshop is worth four catties of dry firewood, and there is no problem.
Originally, in one winter, if you don't take a bath, the firewood will cost 900 catties and 1,000 catties. Those who are petty officials in Beijing are already in small houses, and if they pile up firewood, they naturally don't dare to pile up much. But without firewood, I don't know how many froze to death in previous years.
Now that there is a briquette coal stove, no matter how embarrassing it is, this cost is not only small, but also saves a lot of things.
The palace is made of Huaiyuan anthracite, and there is also charcoal made with sawdust, and spices are added, even if it is a cold winter, the palace will not be cold, but warm as spring.
"The vendetta of the Han Fang is also mostly in Jiannan and Qianzhong. The Han and Qiang vendettas are also mostly in Qinghai. Now that Murong Nuo is the captain, he has never had the intention of recruiting Tuyuhun's hometown, so he has finally settled down. If you get it, you can set the old land of western Shu and the southern barbarians. For example, the likes of the Six Edicts are already remote and poor, and if there is convenience, Your Majesty will only be able to open up another 500 miles of territory. ”
Ma Zhou replied respectfully, accompanied by the crown prince Li Chengqian. In previous years, when this warm man arrived at this kind of meeting of monarchs and ministers, it was like sitting on pins and needles, but now he is reborn. No matter how domineering your emperor is, how wise is the minister, what does it have to do with him?
Li Shimin has always disliked Li Chengqian, and because of the old matter of "spring ploughing", he has added a lot of obstacles to each other. In addition, the prince's eastern tour was not recalled for a long time, which caused a war of words among civil officials. This is also the root cause of this year's civil and official split, but the emperor knows it but intends to add fuel to the fire.
"Li Ke did a good job."
For a long time, Li Shimin suddenly came out with such a sentence, and the important ministers attending the meeting were stunned, but this was harmless. Anyway, how to report without counting, and implement the final performance appraisal is a matter for Shangshu Province and the Ministry of Officials.
"Your Majesty."
Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, suddenly appeared, the atmosphere in the court in the past two years was not right, and Li Daozong was also careful about his life. is not as good as Li Jing and others, as a clan, Li Daozong is one of the few who can handle it. One of the faces of the Li Tang royal family, but at the moment, Li Daozong has to find some "properties" that can be passed on to his descendants, and he can't take care of those faces and considerations.
"Ezhou has effectively imitated the constitution of Ezhou, and the results are also remarkable. As far as the minister can see, although the fangren is aggressive and untamable, he is also simple-minded. If you want to sum up, the constitution of the state is just 'to lure it with profit'. Fangzhai is mostly in the mountains, the acres of barren fields are not to mention, and there are occasional natural disasters, a landslide, which is comparable to the power of Wang Shi. ”
Li Daozong said, and continued, "At the confluence of the Han River, there are many port wharves and docks in Chuzhou, and the boat trestle bridge stretches out for one or twenty miles. When summer grain enters Beijing, the grain ships are less than 2,000 or more than 5,000, so the demand is great. Because of the Hanyang river, the two counties of Chuzhou are along the river and along the river, and there are many workshops and factories. There are six or seven thousand craftsmen. The two counties have a great demand for artisan labor, so farmers and fangs are willing to work in the city for profit. ”
"Isn't that a waste of farming?!"
A retainer asked.
"How could there ever be a shortage of food in Chuzhou? There are a lot of summer grains and autumn grains, and the accounts have always been clear and have not been buried. ”
"Why is that?"
"There is a similar Cangzhou story, let you have hundreds of acres, thousands of acres, and you have your own underwriting and agricultural management. There are eight oxen and ploughs, and there used to be hundreds of farmers, but now there are only one or two people, at most five or six people. If you go to Cangzhou, you know that there are very few people in the continuous fields. Most of the households are near the river to build dams and embankments, and they are formed into villages, and there is very little encroachment on farmland. ”
Speaking of this, Li Daozong still said sincerely, "The ministers are the assassins of Ezhou, and they have been observing Canzhou for one or two years, and I invite Your Majesty to play this year, and Ezhou can follow suit next year, and when it can be changed to Han, it will stabilize the hometown of Wuling." If we can persevere, after 30 years, we can get two more Changsha by enclosing the polder to build fields, build dams and fix water. ”
It is necessary to develop the south, and the Jingxiang area in the Han Dynasty can be regarded as a bumper yield after development, especially in Changsha. This is an area south of Dongting Lake, far from the central government, not to mention, the surrounding area is densely covered with "Nanban", and there are more "Shanyue" relics, which can be said to be the only bright spot.
But according to Li Daozong's description, thirty years later, it will be a situation of more flowering. And even if you don't look at it 30 years later, based on the current Hebei Liaodong theory, the shipping of the Bohai Rim not only saves manpower and material resources. Every year after the onset of winter, the defense and counteroffensive of the border nationalities, and the temporary requisition of people, there will be a large reserve of civilian forces.
Most of these forces are in these new state and county ports and wharves in Liaodong, Hebei Province. An estuary wharf can support the transportation of materials and troops of more than one regiment, and in a single operation, in addition to military merits, the loot materials that were difficult to transport back in the past are no longer destroyed or burned on the spot, but can be quickly converted into property that can be quickly converted into the book income of the military department.
"The monarch is worried about the country, but it involves civil affairs, and he needs to be cautious. We'll talk about it in the next year. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Daozong didn't plan to let the emperor nod today, he took the lead in this matter first, but he was just throwing bricks and leading the way. He is a clan, and thinking so much will cause the emperor's disgust and even suspicion. Another one, his brother Li Daoxing is still blowing a typhoon in the South China Sea, and the brothers, friends and brothers and brothers have all been frustrated by the whole family, so he should give some sweetness, and he is not a good person, he has to learn from the cousin in Chuzhou.
Ezhou is a good place, especially the Yongxing Coal Mine has been officially mined, are there still few people staring at the Yongxing Coal Mine? The eldest grandson Wuji, who is now anxious at home and throws a tantrum, originally planned to raise it himself at the annual meeting.
If it weren't for Zhongshu to make himself get a wicked girl out, it would be his turn to get a clan of Li Daozong to jump out and take the lead in sending favors?
Emperor Li postponed this matter to the next year, which is a normal thing, since it is not a military event, it will not affect anything until the end of the year.
But during this period, as long as the capital is still honorable, they will come to Li Daozong to pay a New Year's greeting.
How are the Ezhou fangs governed? Thirty years later, there will be two Changsha in the imperial court? This is all bullshit, whether you can get an heirloom property out is what really matters.
It's just that people are floating in the rivers and lakes, even if they cut people, they have to get a high name.
"Worrying about the king" and "caring for the people" are always better, isn't it?
After the meeting of the monarch and the ministers, a group of ministers wrapped in shelter from the wind quietly followed the pace of the king of Jiangxia, and before they left the palace wall, someone ran impatiently and shouted in person: "Does the king of the county have arrangements tonight?" I heard that the king of the county likes grape wine, and he happened to get a new bottle of Kangju Reserve......"
