In March, on the grassland near Yuyi Town, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

After the snow melts, the water of the river flows and twists and turns. The surface of the river resembles a large puddle, and the pavement is wide, and the grass is everywhere, and whitebait swims.

In addition to the wet water, there are also several seasonal rivers south of Yuyi Town, all of which flow from the slopes after the snow melts, and the river gradually widens downstream. In this season, the river does not dry up until the mulberries are ripe.

The Han people who reclaimed here sometimes called these rivers in the valley the Sanggan River, which means that the river dries up when the mulberries are ripe.

In the vicinity of the river, the Han people have been used as a dam to reclaim the fields, and they have also learned from the Hu people, grazing cattle and sheep. Compared with two years ago, Yuyi Town has taken in a lot of displaced people from the Central Plains, so there are several more villages here.

Although Li Chongjiu was a wealthy merchant and gave the merchant a political status, the tax was quite heavy on the merchants, and he was relatively tolerant compared to the peasants.

Therefore, several rural villages near Yuyi Town are all pure folk customs, and they have a sense of paradise. The Han people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was equivalent to a good imitation of the Goguryeo people, and the Goguryeo tax on the grain people was very heavy, with five horses of cloth and five stones of grain for the people, and one horse of fine cloth for ten people (Note 1). Here, there are no taxes at all.

And although the Goguryeo people are mainly agricultural, supplemented by fishing and hunting, but the harvest is not much, so the common people are accustomed to dieting, but Yuyi Town is such a rich place, compared with the bitter cold land of Liaodong, it is almost a paradise. Therefore, Li Chongjiu was worried that the turmoil of the Goguryeo people did not happen, and many of them had the intention of simply abandoning Liaodong and living and working here in peace and contentment.

In order to make the Goguryeo people feel at ease to settle here, Li Chongjiu also asked these Goguryeo people to retain their original customs.

Therefore, in addition to farming, the Goguryeo people also built temples on their own initiative. However, Ji Chuan, who accompanied Li Chongjiu, had a disdainful look at this custom of the Goguryeo people, and in his words, the Goguryeo people had many obscene shrines, and they bathed in the same river and slept in the same room.

The so-called obscene shrine is a polytheistic belief, Goguryeo believes in many such as the ancestor god and the cave god, everyone believes in multiple gods, and almost to the time of worshipping the gods.

Of course, this is very contemptuous for Ji Chuan, but Yinghefu and Eto understand that most people believe in shamanism, and shamanism is to worship multiple gods. As for bathing in the same river, looking at the valley of the wet lake, there are Goguryeo men and women with smooth bodies everywhere, it is easy to understand, no wonder Ji Chuan said that they are vulgar and lewd.

Of course, there is also Ji Chuan's opinion, in the eyes of Yinghefu and Eto, the Goguryeo people are not much different from the Han people, first, Goguryeo and the Han people are mainly farming, and secondly, the Goguryeo people have knotted their hair, which is neither like the braided hair of the Xi people, but not like the Khitan people.

The Goguryeo people and the Han people generally wore their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, and their clothes were similar, with men wearing wide robes and large sleeves, while women also wore skirts with edge ornaments.

After inspecting the farmland, Li Chongjiu asked the eagles of Goguryeo to attack the generals and recruit 600 young men in his mansion to review.

The purpose of Li Chongjiu's review was to see if the Goguryeo army could fight in a battle, and secondly, to be familiar with the fighting power of the Goguryeo people, so that they could fight the Goguryeo people in the future.

After a review, the Goguryeo people were not very healthy because of their long-term dieting, but in order to defend themselves against foreign enemies for many years, Goguryeo's armament was still quite good.

At least every Goguryeo young man can open a bow and shoot a good archery, which is related to the fact that the kings of Goguryeo have attached great importance to archery.

In addition to archery, the Goguryeo people were good at building cities, and of course they were also good at riding. The Goguryeo people generally ride war horses, but they are called Guoxia, because this horse is very short, at most it can only be under the fruit tree, although it is not high, it is not suitable for fighting, but this fruit is very suitable for mountain marching. For example, the Yunnan horse in later generations of China, the originator is Guoxia horse.

Li Chongjiu and the generals analyzed that although the Goguryeo army was not as resistant to war as the steppe cavalry, and even less as the impact of the cavalry, it was very good at archery and fortification, so it could be used for wartime garrison, or as an auxiliary army on the march. As for the dismount, although it is not suitable for frontal battlefield use, it will be very beneficial for the Korean Peninsula and the Taihang Mountains to fight in mountainous terrain in the future.

Yi Chongjiu planned to trade with Silla, and introduced and bred a large number of Guoxia horses to distribute them to the Goguryeo army, which could be used as Li Chongjiu's mountain combat force in the future. Historically, the Tang army generals of the Goguryeo people were stationed in the mountainous Yingzhou to guard against the Khitan Xi people, so later there was a group of Goguryeo warriors in Yingzhou, which became a unique force in the late Tang Dynasty.

So Li Chongjiu told Goguryeo, the Han general, that he should train the Goguryeo soldiers well during the agricultural slack.

The two of them were overjoyed when they saw that Li Chongjiu attached so much importance to the Goguryeo army. In Li Chongjiu's eyes, the Goguryeo people will gradually assimilate to the Han people if they continue like this, and I believe that in a few years, there will be famous Goguryeo generals such as Gao Xianzhi and Wang Sili under his command.

Of course, in order to encourage the sinicization of Goguryeo people, Li Chongjiu also decided to let the children of Goguryeo generals, or clan nobles, enter the county school of Huaihuang Town and Yuyi Town to study.

Speaking of county studies, after Li Chongjiu returned to Yuyi Town, he summoned Zhou Xu from Huaihuang Town.

After Zhou Xu saw Li Chongjiu, he bowed down to the next, and now he has been a teacher for many years, and he has already had a bit of the bearing of a great grandmaster, and he has long since lost the silent and wooden appearance when he first came to Huaihuang Town.

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhou Xu's changes with great satisfaction, and said: "Zhou Saijiu, I am here to ask about your county school. ”

Zhou Xuyan said: "According to the previous arrangement of Shanggu Gong, in the past few years, we have started county school in Huaihuang and Yuyi two towns, and Huaihuang Town has been in county school for more than two years, and in June this year, there will be fifty students, and some of these people can be promoted to county school, as for Yuyi Town, and Shanggu County, there is only one year, which is not enough to drop out." ”

Because Li Chongjiu felt that the distance of the triple jump of the Mengguan, the county school, and the county school was too long, so it was truncated, and only two levels were needed, that is, the Mengguan was taken from the county hall, and after three years of study, the best ones could enter the county school.

County learning, the policy of Mengxue, that is, one of the three strategies that Wen Yanbo proposed to Li Chongjiu at the beginning, that is, Wang Dao should focus on education and supplemental criminal law.

At the beginning, it was also Dong Zhongshu's famous words, but everyone knows that the emperors of China have always been Confucianism and internal law, and Li Chongjiu set up the Mengguan and the purpose of the county school is to select the children of the poor family and divide the clan into scholars.

At present, there are 50 students in the first batch of county school graduates, and 20 of them have been promoted to county schools, and after they have completed county schools in the future, they can directly enter the county officials, but Li Chongjiu also decided to assign the remaining 30 students to various counties as officials.

The county order, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, and the lord are all from the stream, called the official, and they are appointed by the imperial court. Next, such as the six Caos in the county, as well as the county doctor, etc., even if the power is not small, it is also an important position, but it is generally requisitioned by the county order, and then it can be filed with the ministry.

As for the bookkeeper under Liucao, the head catcher, these people don't even need to be recorded, they belong to non-staff personnel, and the book office is generally called by Liu Cao to find his own intimate people, as for helpers, archers, etc., are directly recruited by the head catcher himself. As for the number of clerks, helpers, and archers, and how large they can be, it all depends on whether the county has oil and water to fish.

The fatter the county, the more officials are raised, and the more barren the county, of course, the more monks and less porridge are not enough.

This kind of bureaucracy is something that anyone can see, but it is a rule that has been followed for thousands of years. The reason is the same, the county order, the county Cheng and other officials sent by the imperial court must be recruited from the county Haoqiang family to manage a county, otherwise they will be set up as airborne troops, and the six Cao of the Haoqiang family, while explaining to the officials, also raised such minions as a book, helper, and archer, to run errands for them to run errands for the people, relying on these people to fish the people.

In this way, from the imperial court to the local people, they can be properly governed, and everyone will share the benefits. But this is not good for Li Chongjiu, on the one hand, the common people have been being fished by as the lowest level, and on the other hand, the local gentry and the powerful have too much power.

Such as the Lu family, not only in Zhuo County, but also in the imperial court, there are more officials in their own families, as well as generations of in-laws who have been married, so it is a top-to-bottom system, except for two poles like Huangchao, to uproot one by one, otherwise it is difficult to shake the Lu family.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu wants to squeeze the power of the Lu family, as a warlord, the biggest advantage is still the military power in his own hands, with his own army to suppress it, and the scholars dare not oppose him.

After that, Li Chongjiu supported merchants, workers and other forces to weaken the power of the scholars, and finally Li Chongjiu used the officials trained from the county school and the county school to change from the lower level, and the county order must rely on strong officials to govern the bad habits of the local area.

However, after the county school dropped, it was impossible for these students to become officials like Liucao and others, of course, they had to start one level at a time.

At present, these 30 people have all been assigned to various counties, and they will first serve as secretaries and directors, so that they can gradually adapt to it. Of course, Li Chongjiu didn't want to be too radical, so he didn't prohibit the scholars from being strong officials.

Li Chongjiu deliberately screened from the four counties of Shanggu County, Zhuo County, Anle, and Liaoxi. Fifteen of these 30 students were assigned to Anle County, which Li Chongjiu had just won in the hands of Gao Kaidao last year, but had just recovered from the war, and the people were only more than 20,000 people.

In order for Li Chongjiu to resume production, he had to rely on powerful officials, but there was an extreme shortage of local officials.

Li Chongjiu divided these fifteen people into secretaries, heads hunting, and officials in Anle County, among which the best school grades were promoted to Hucao in Anle County, and he was responsible for transferring part of the grain from Zhuo County to disaster relief.

There are fifteen people left, and Li Chongjiu deposed some of the remaining three counties, the old and weak, and those who were too unfavorable, of course, filled them up, and let them go directly to the front line for training, as for how far they can go in the future, it depends on their own creation.
