In July, it is a very hot season, but on Maxiong Mountain, it is extremely cool and comfortable.

Maxiong Mountain is known as the reputation of "one drop of water and three rivers", here is the source of the Pearl River, surrounded by three rivers of Beipan River, Nanpan River and Niulan River.

There is a local legend that a long time ago, the mount of the Jade Emperor was greedy for fireworks in the world, and secretly broke free from the reins and went down to the mortal place, and when he stopped on the eastern Yunnan Plateau, it turned into a majestic peak, from which Maxiong Mountain got its name. The Jade Emperor remembered the old feelings, saw that there was no water in Maxiong Mountain, so he sprinkled a drop of nectar, the nectar turned into rain, and converged into a trickle, a water to the north, the name of the Beipan River, a water to the south, the name of the Nanpan River, a water to the west, the name of the Niulan River, this is the origin of a drop of water and three rivers.

Maxiong Mountain is majestic and majestic, just like a horse strolling leisurely, strolling and wandering in the eastern Yunnan Plateau. The different peaks of Maxiong Mountain protrude, the strange rocks are craggy, the peaks and peaks are undulating, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the source is clear and the stream is slow, the forest is dense and the road is sparse, the pine waves and birds are singing, and the scenery is quiet.

Just at the foot of Maxiong Mountain, by the river of the Nanpan River, there are dozens of simple wooden houses built by the mountains and rivers, like the residence of the village husband in the mountains, but the surrounding fence is tight, and the guards are strict, but there are like the official residences of wealthy nobles.

This is the residence of the famous Anping Palace, and the people who were shocked to learn the truth were all amazed and amazed.

The Shu Han Dynasty moved its capital to Nanzhong, and Weicheng, the seat of Jianning County, became the temporary capital of the Shu Han Dynasty, and five or six hundred thousand military and civilian officials poured into Weicheng, making the small Weicheng burst in an instant. Although Weicheng is at the level of a county town, it is a desolate and remote place in the south, and the scale of Weicheng is not as large as a county seat in Shu County. Huo Yi let out his Taishou Mansion. It was renovated. The right to be Liu Chan's palace. The accompanying civil and military officials crowded into the city, and it would be quite good to have a place to live in one or two rooms.

Some ministers proposed to rebuild Weicheng, at least there must be a decent palace, and the civil and military officials must also have a place to live. But rebuilding means spending a lot of money, and with the current treasury of Shu Han, how can it come up with such a large amount of money? Now hundreds of thousands of people are pouring into Jianning, and there is not a single house or land. are waiting for the government to settle, and most of the money and grain in the treasury of Shu Han have been consumed on the way to the south, and now they only rely on the treasury of the seven counties in Nanzhong to support it.

Therefore, Liu Yin proposed that everything should be based on diligence and thrift, the palace was temporarily delayed, and the content of Weicheng City could not accommodate so many scholars, so everyone could temporarily move elsewhere, in order to take the lead and set an example, Anping Wangfu took the lead in moving to Maxiong Mountain.

The place of Maxiong Mountain was chosen by Princess Ma. Ma Xiong - Ma Jiaxiong rises? Princess Ma, who is determined to restore the former glory of the Ma family, has a soft spot for this place, although Ma Xiongshan is far away from Weicheng. But here the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the environment is elegant, and it is also an ideal place to live.

"Mother, I'm really sorry that I can only let you succumb to such a humble room." Liu Yin said apologetically. At present, these simple wooden houses are still newly built by Liu Yin's subordinates using local materials. There is a kind of climbing cloud pine that is not more than knee high growing all over the Maxiong Mountain, which is also a great spectacle of Maxiong Mountain.

A large number of servants of the palace are unloading all kinds of supplies from the carriage, tidying up and arranging the wooden house, and the things that can be taken in the Anping palace are basically transported, and they are simply rearranged, but they are not much different from the original decoration, at least Liu Yin has a warm feeling of home.

In fact, it is not important where home is, the important thing is to be with the family, which is the happiest thing.

Princess Ma smiled faintly and said, "It's good here, every year in the hot summer, doesn't our family go to the villa in Xishan to escape the summer?" I think this is a little similar to the West Mountain Villa, all say that the south is wild and desolate, the epidemic miasma is rampant, today I have to see it, I know that what I said is true, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, the sun is peaceful, warm as spring, even if it is a paradise on earth, it is not much to say. ”

To tell the truth, Princess Ma's generosity and open-mindedness moved Liu Yin very much, unlike Liu Ji's two sons, who complained as soon as they arrived in Nanzhong, Princess Ma held an attitude of being at ease, peaceful and indifferent, Liu Yin saw Princess Ma's tenacity and unyieldingness, and in troubled times, only people with such character and mind can survive better.

"Mother, the imperial court only allocates us such a little food, so there are hundreds of people up and down in the house, how can such a little food be enough to eat? Big brother, you are also working in Shangshutai now, you should talk to them, no matter what, you have to let the people in the house make a living. Liu Ji complained to Liu Yin.

After arriving in Nanzhong, the imperial court distributed different amounts of money and grain to the princes and princes at one time, of course, unlike the generous Juelu in Chengdu, the distribution to the Anping palace this time was only a few hundred stone of grain, only a fraction of the share of previous years. In fact, this is still with Liu Yinzhong's 2,000 stone of Yulu in it, and other palaces are less than this number. The people of the Anping Mansion are all added together, there are hundreds of people, and such a little food will not be able to eat for long at all.

In order to help the refugees, the four or five hundred thousand Hu grain in the Chengdu treasury were basically distributed to the southward migration, and it was precisely because of the guarantee of these grains that such a large-scale population migration, there was no case of refugees who died of starvation, and those refugees who died on the way were basically because of illness or because of physical weakness and could not bear the long journey. More than eighty percent of the refugees were able to successfully reach Nanzhong, which can be called a miracle in the history of relocation.

After moving south, the more urgent task is to resettle, the money and food brought from Chengdu has been exhausted, hundreds of thousands of refugees have no place to live, no food and clothing, all of them are counting on the relief of the imperial court, although there is still some grain in the treasury of the seven counties in the south, but to deal with so many refugees, it can be said that there are more monks and less porridge.

Although resettlement and reclamation are already going on simultaneously, at least before a harvest is obtained, it is basically necessary to ensure the minimum living needs of hundreds of thousands of people who have migrated south.

In this way, the amount of money issued to the princely officials can only be reduced again and again, and even less than one percent of previous years, at this difficult juncture, all the people in Shu Han must tighten their belts to live. (To be continued......)
