In the newly completed Lintan Academy, craftsmen were specially invited to build a Confucian temple to worship Confucius, and many Confucian sages such as Mencius also made statues of them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because of the establishment of Lintan Academy, the county school and state school will no longer be built for the time being. Zhang Chao plans to wait for Lintan Academy to be saturated, and then build a county school and a state school. Now, they are all concentrated in Lintan Academy to study.

The academy has begun to recruit and select teachers, and it is more difficult to recruit teachers than in Chang'an, and there are not enough people to recruit until now, so he wonders if he should send someone to Chang'an to recruit some teachers.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost July, and the summer heat was terrible.

Many construction projects also avoided the hottest time at noon every day, and at this time, Zhang Chao received good news.

Chang'an finally sent the first batch of ordnance and food, and at the same time sent the first batch of immigrants.

Su Dingfang personally brought a thousand soldiers to escort the grain and grass.

"Daddy is here? The four rammed goods also came together? "Zhang Chao was very happy to hear that they were all here." Where's it going? ”

"I've arrived in Minzhou, and I'll be able to reach Taozhou in a few days."

For the money and food from Chang'an, Zhang Chao is not too rare, and he can be self-sufficient, but he attaches great importance to the family members from Chang'an. Thousands of people miss their families very much. The sooner their families come, the sooner they can stabilize everyone's mood.

Besides, Zhang Chao himself also misses the people at home.

Hearing that Thirteen Niang was also here, Zhang Chao was even happier. Taozhou is actually quite good, but it's a pity that it's a little lonely. If everyone in the family came, then even if the court threw him here for ten or eight years, Zhang Chao really didn't mind too much. Away from the court, away from the prince, quite comfortable.

"I'll go and greet you personally!"

Zhang Chaoxing hurriedly ordered 200 people and rushed to meet them.

At the border of Minzhou, Zhang Chao only waited for a day before he greeted a group of people. Because he is a thorn, he is not allowed to leave the state without permission, and in this era, everyone has an identity, and then they are confined to a frame.

"The last general, Su Dingfang, meet the assassin!"

Su Dingfang saw Zhang Chao from a distance, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and strode over to salute.

Since Hebei Yifarewell, Zhang Chao has not seen Su Dingfang for a long time. After the surrender of Hebei, Su Dingfang served as a deputy protector under the command of King Qin, and later the King of Qin's Protectorate Mansion was disbanded, and he went to the Twelve Guards Mansion to hang up a general's position, but he has not been a real position. After sitting on the cold bench for a while, this time King Qin specially transferred him to escort grain and grass to Taozhou.

Su Dingfang has always been grateful to Zhang Chao, if it weren't for Zhang Chaozhou to persuade him anyway, how could he be as relaxed as he is now.

"Thirteen Niang, they are in the back, all the way." Su Dingfang said with a smile.

Su Dingfang gave Zhang Chao a letter, and Li Shimin wrote a handwritten letter to Zhang Chao. In the letter, Li Shimin told Zhang Chao a piece of news, and he wrote to the emperor, and now the emperor has agreed to withdraw the three prefectures of Min, Fang, and Tang, and all of them will be merged into Taozhou.

Fangzhou and Danzhou are all in the southeast of Taozhou, which is already the southeasternmost part of Longyou Road, and further south is Jiannan Road, which is blocked by mountains.

The imperial court merged the four prefectures of Tao, Min, Fang, and Tang into one state, and the territory was equivalent to the large states of Shanzhou, Lanzhou, and Qinzhou.

King Qin said that the population of Taomin Prefecture was originally small, and the population was even more withered after the war. Therefore, His Royal Highness proposed to merge the four states into one state, which is also conducive to overall management. I'm here this time, so I won't go back, Your Highness asked me to be your Governor's Mansion Sima, and Xu Jingzong was your Governor's Mansion Governor's History. The thousand people I brought with me will not go back, and they will be combined with Min Fang's original garrison,"

After the merger of the four states, the assassin was still Zhang Chao, and the governor was still Zhang Chao.

It's just that the original two brands of a yamen, and important positions such as Changshi, Sima, and Liecao joining the army are basically one person and two positions. For example, Ma Zhou is not only the history of the governor, but also the history of the governor's office. But now, Su Dingfang will be the Sima of the Governor's Mansion, and Xu Jingzong will be the governor of the Governor's Mansion.

However, in order to show the bureaucratic distinction from the state government, the long history of the Governor's Mansion and the march of Sima Tega.

Su Dingfang was the marching Sima of the Taozhou Governor's Mansion, and Xu Jingzong was the marching chief.

This time, the imperial court also set up many new official positions for the Governor's Office, such as the marching Sima, as well as judges, secretaries, pushers, inspectors, records to join the army, join the army, and Liucao to join the army, in addition to medical officers.

The imperial court has officially perfected the system of the governor's office.

It was originally four states and eight counties, but now it has been changed to one state and five counties, Taozhou originally had two counties, and the remaining three states were only withdrawn into one county. With such a small population, it doesn't make sense to have too many counties.

Under the new Taozhou Governor's Mansion, there will be 10,000 government soldiers and four field armies.

Zhang Chao, the governor of Taozhou and Yaozhou, because he was in charge of an important town on the border, Li Yuan also added a special title to Zhang Chao to appease the envoy. With this title, then when dealing with the affairs of the border Fanhan, there is no need to ask the imperial court in advance, and he has the right to directly cut the first and then play.

In the first battle of Longyou, Zhang Chao single-handedly turned the tide, saved Li Shimin and others, and also ensured the safety of Longyou, which can be described as a great hero. Li Yuan still admires Zhang Chao very much, and what is particularly rare is that he is a civil official, but he is in danger, but he performs extraordinary.

Although some people say that Zhang Chao is named the prince's subordinate, he is actually a person from the king of Qin, and Li Yuan doesn't believe it or doesn't want to pay attention to it. The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, if He Chao is a subordinate of the prince, and as a result, he deliberately did not save King Qin when he saw death, then he could not tolerate such a courtier.

Whether it is the prince's person or the King of Qin's person, first of all, he is a courtier of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Chao's performance is very apparent.

In this war, King Qin was very responsible, and the prince's performance was not bad. However, in the matter of Zhang Chao, the prince obviously mishandled it, and he knew the meaning of the prince's request to remove Zhang Sandong from his position.

For this reason, Li Yuan is also willing to let Zhang San stay in Taozhou and not come back for the time being. Therefore, last time he rewarded Zhang Chaojing, and this time he added the title of Ann Liu.

"King Qin said that the prince is constrained everywhere, so that this batch of grain and grass comes relatively late, I hope you can understand. How is the situation in Taozhou now? ”

"Yes, of course it's good, and it's very good." Zhang Chao said with a smile.

Su Lie looked at Zhang Chao and thought he was talking the opposite. There has been no supply of grain and grass for so long, and there are more than 5,000 people and horses, how good can it be?

However, he looked at the two hundred people brought by Zhang Chao, all of them with bright armor and red faces, not like hungry soldiers at all.

"I'll tell you more about this, I'm really not bad."

The first batch of soldiers who came with Su Dingfang had more than 5,000 family members, which was also the reason why the team walked for a long time. Zhang Chao came to the middle of the team and soon found the Zhang family.

Dad and Cheng Chumo were riding horses to protect the Zhang family, and Cui Yan was actually there.

"Daddy!"

"Saburo is here." When Dad saw Zhang San, he just said lightly, but there was a strong look of concern in his eyes. Cui Yingying also hurriedly got out of the car and cried when she saw Zhang Chao.

Niu Jianhu's goods were still on the side, and he interjected very inappropriately.

"Third brother, you want to kill us. I heard that you were the head of the march to Longyou, and I was worried about you at that time, who knew that you had made a peerless miracle quietly, which was really shocking. I knew this, I didn't go to Hebei to be a volunteer soldier at the beginning, how good it would be for me to follow you to Longyou, maybe I could take the opportunity to make a great contribution. ”

Zhang Chao directly ignored this guy, pushed him away, and walked in front of Cui Yingying.

"San Lang, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what about you, are you okay?"

"I'm fine too. San Lang, I asked the red line to stay in the house, Siniang helped her, and the Lan'er and Lian'er sisters also stayed on the ba. I brought you Shi Niang and those two orchids. ”

Du Shi Niang and the two orchids had a bumpy road all the way, their faces were not very good, a little pale, and there was no ruddy color. Standing behind Cui Yingying, she still tried her best to squeeze out a smile with Zhang Chao.

"Hahaha, our family is together again. Although it is far away from the Central Plains and located on the border, as long as our family is together, this is our home. Thirteen Niang, let me tell you, this place is actually very beautiful, there are rich and fertile river valleys, you can reclaim the wasteland, and there is also pasture animal husbandry, which is really good. And I've already opened a border market here, and now countless Han merchants have come here to trade, and it's really good here. ”

Cui Yingying nodded, she believed her husband.

"I also allocated 800 acres of vocational land here, and I also paid for an entire river valley land, which can reclaim at least 3,000 acres." Zhang Chao said with a smile, in fact, the so-called purchase of land basically did not cost money, it was all dividends after Jiangxin City and various taxes, Zhang Chaoguan was the largest, and of course he shared the most.

And now the land in Taozhou is particularly cheap, especially if Zhang Chao bought uncultivated river valley land, which was originally just pasture. But it can be cultivated as fertile land, but it is very cheap. It takes several acres of land to ba, even if Zhang Chao bought a bathing ditch, it is almost a hundred dollars per acre.

But the river valley that Zhang Chao bought, if you count the area of the entire valley, is far more than 10,000 mu, and there are no less than 3,000 or 4,000 mu that can be developed, but it only costs 100 yuan. It's almost ten times cheaper than a bath ditch.

"So much land, so cheap, it's going to be fine, right?"

"Don't worry, this is the border pass, and these Taozhou yamen took it out and sold it publicly. The price is so cheap, but there are very few people who are willing to buy it! ”

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Chao smiled, nothing is impossible. After the war, there were few people in Taozhou, and they still had their own land. For example, those Fanren tribes, the territory is still very large, and they are all counted in river valleys. And the new government soldiers don't need to buy land, Zhang Chao gives them land, a government soldier has 300 acres, and their families can also share a lot when they come to immigrate, they can't plant it, and they still spend money to buy anything.

The incomparably valuable land in the Central Plains is the least valuable in Taozhou.

But Zhang Chao spent money to buy a river valley because he thought it could be developed and harvested.

"Can I buy it again?" When Cui Yingying heard that Baiguan bought 10,000 acres of river valleys, her eyes couldn't help but shine, and the tiredness along the way was swept away.

"There's no need to buy so much, you have to reclaim it, but if you want to buy it, you can buy a few more river valleys, and we can graze cattle and sheep."

"Buy a few river valleys!" Cui Yingying's face was flushed with excitement! (To be continued.) )
