Chapter 1101 United Front
On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the Jianji year, Shao Shude arrived in Bianzhou, entered the city through Zhengmen, and stayed in the old house of King Liang.
Chongyuan and Zhang Hui served all night and received countless kindness.
The palace officials Jie, Su, Lu, Pugu and others listened to the outside world all night and were relatively speechless. After the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Chen, Xiao and others went back to become their saints and concubines, and the palace officials had already changed a group of people.
After dawn, Shao Shude got up and practiced archery for a while. At the age of 44, he was still very energetic.
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Yanling, the governor of Henan Province, Pei Di, the governor of Transport, Sun Jinde, the chief commander of the chief, Pei Yuan, the prison envoy, and Li Huai, the academician, was summoned to meet.
Li Yanling took office from the position of Si Nongqing.
The first commander of the state army was Dai Siyuan. Now he has been transferred to the Tiande Army. The former governor of Guzhou and deputy envoy of Shanzhou regiment training was Sun Jinde.
Sun Jinde, the governor of Huazhou, and the eldest son of Sun Ba, the Marquis of Anbei County.
He also had a younger brother Sun Jinshan, who served as the magistrate of Longzhi County, Shanzhou and the governor of Fangzhou. He is now the envoy of the Hexi Road Criminal Prison.
Pei Yuan was the old man when Shao Shude beat Huang Chao and served as the military supervisor many times.
Li Huai, the son of Li Shao, the late Duke of Huo in the former Tang Dynasty, helped him to repair the magistrate of Yunyang County and later served as the governor of Huizhou. After the founding of the Daxia Kingdom, Li Shao was posthumously named the No. 1 of Baiquan County. Li Huai inherited the title of Baiquan County and had 500 households.
Five major officials from Henan Road, four of whom are members of the Kansai Military and Political Group with a strong root.
"It's been a few years since Henan bought it. Pei Qing has seen the customs of the people? What do the people think of the new dynasty?" After taking a shower, Shao Shude had already changed into a dragon robe, sat there with his straight face, and asked.
Pei Di was originally an official in Zhu Quanzhong's temple's family who led the financial plan, and it can be said that he had entered the core circle. After Chen Cheng served as the deputy envoy of the Xuanwu Army, he worked with Pei Di for a long time. He valued his abilities very much and highly recommended them, so he was appointed as the Henan Road Transportation Commissioner, responsible for the financial plan of more than ten states.
It is true that Henan has been greatly divided. However, the size of the Bian and Song prefectures cannot be underestimated. They are still the number one place in the territory of Xia State.
Pei Di's new position is actually very important. Moreover, he also served as the governor of Bianzhou, and he has real power.
"Reporting to the saint, the people of all the states in Bian and Song dynasties were all happy. After the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, there was no objection, and there was no restlessness in the public. Everything was as usual." Pei Di replied.
"I heard what you said, the Bian Song prefectures seemed to be interested in Daxia, really?" Shao Shude asked.
"I can't say that I'm interested in Daxia, I won't object." Pei Di could only tell the truth under Shao Shude's question.
The three words "not object" are really the essence.
In the Guanxi area, the Zhili Dao prefectures supported Daxia and supported Shao Sheng.
Henan Road, and perhaps Huaihai Road, they just don’t object. In other words, it means “no sense”, and it doesn’t matter who is a saint, and they don’t object. When the Xia Dynasty perishes, they don’t object to another dynasty, and they don’t object to it. This is the mentality.
They no longer have the righteousness of their family and country, but only a fragmented mentality of vassal states.
"At least better than Hebei." Shao Shude smiled.
The Hebei prefectures may not object to the surface, but the connotation of their not objection is different - they have no strength, so they can only endure temporarily, and once they find an opportunity, they will immediately jump out to rebel.
This is the mentality of various regions in the north towards the newborn Daxia Dynasty. The influence of the Shao Dashi people in the people is generally smaller and smaller as the eastwards, the smaller the northwards. Many areas are simply suppressed by military deterrence, and local people, scholars, and officials have not returned to their hearts.
"You are an old minister in Henan, do you have the strategy to convince the people?" Shao Shude asked.
The people with "people's heart" are very complex and have different meanings under different circumstances.
Shao Shude generally understands him as a person with united front value.
The local Tu people have united front value.
The famous scholars in the countryside have the value of united front.
Officials, soldiers, and big merchants have united front value.
A skilled craftsman, scholar, etc., can vote with his feet and also have the value of united front.
In some cases, ordinary farmer also has united front value, such as when someone needs to farm, join the army, and perform labor service.
"The saint has actually done something to conquer the hearts of the people before." Pei Di said: "The states of Bian and Song dynasties will be revived for three years, and the people will be happy, otherwise they will not be the same as they are not opposed to it now."
"But it's not enough." Shao Shude said: "I didn't bring any benefits to the people of Henan. On the contrary, they made their families ruined, their villages were ruined, and their farmland was deserted, and they were burdened with heavy taxes, corvee and military service. As for the scholars and generals of Henan, Zhu Quanzhong, a native of Songzhou, was more willing to take care of the Henan Township Party. I took away their future, and perhaps it was the starting point for the prosperity of the family business for hundreds of years. So, what should I do?"
Since ancient times, rural household registration has been very important. In traditional concepts, it is believed that fellow villagers are more reliable and are more willing to appoint and reuse.
Moreover, those who have not experienced the terrifying era of Qin Zongquan cannot understand what Zhu Quanzhong brought to the people of Henan. Although there are flatterers who built it to win Zhu Quanzhong's favor, many of them spontaneously built it, which is an undeniable fact.
"Your Majesty, there is actually a way," Pei Di said.
"Speak."
"Your Majesty has won tens of millions of cattle, sheep and animals to Henan, vigorously promote the three-cultural system, and all the people in various places sing praises." Pei Di said.
"You are trying to get money in a different way." Shao Shude laughed. This number is simply outrageous.
Pei Di also smiled.
Since Zhu Quanzhong's era, he has been paying attention to the Sanpu system implemented in Kansai. Grain production may drop slightly, but the comprehensive output of grain, meat, milk, fur and other products has greatly increased, which is beneficial to the people.
The conditions in Henan and Hebei are actually more suitable for promoting this new agricultural system than in the Northwest. Unfortunately, the demand for livestock is too high, and this alone is daunting.
"Millions of livestock, where do you ask me to find it?" Shao Shude said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, there are millions of Khitans and more than ten million livestock." Pei Di said.
Good guy, he actually advised someone to rob.
Shao Shude was quite familiar with grassland affairs. From the Han Dynasty, the proportion of people and animals in tribes such as the Xiongnu was about 1:15, that is, the average person had more than a dozen livestock, most of which were sheep, accounting for about 70-80%.
In terms of survival, a herder needs twenty or thirty sheep to survive by eating dairy products, hunting, and gathering. He also often struggles on the verge of hunger. When encountering heavy snow in winter, a large number of livestock die and no milk can be eaten. At this time, don’t think about anything. Kill the frozen animals and eat meat, and go to the Han area to rob them next year, but they can’t survive anyway.
Shao Shude has provided disaster relief to the grassland several times.
Every time, they ordered the use of ships to allocate grain and sent it to the Yinshan area to provide relief to the herdsmen. They also collected a wave of young and strong men to Lingzhou Academy, and the Shaanxi Academy trained to serve in the army to help them overcome the difficulties.
This can not only increase the prestige of the Supreme Khan, but also avoid troubles - famine in the Central Plains, hungry people will riot, grasslands will cause white disasters, and herdsmen will not rebel? What do you think?
But then again, the Khitan is a little different.
First of all, millions of people are imaginary, and secondly, it is impossible for everyone to grazle. Therefore, whether they have ten million livestock is a problem, and there is a high probability that there is no one, because a considerable number of Khitans farm.
"Don't always think about robbing." Shao Shude said: "Li Yanling, I used to be Si Nongqing, and I will help solve the problem of Henan Road."
"Abide by the order." Li Yanling said: "I guess it's not possible. It's okay for the pastoral prison to collect two or three million sheep."
"Where is the big livestock?" Pei Di asked nervously.
"The sheep are easy to raise, and no one wants to raise large livestock. Even the monks mainly raise horses, followed by camels." Li Yanling said: "If it is three million mixed livestock, I can only guarantee that one percent of them will be large livestock."
Pei Di was a little disappointed.
"Pei Qing." Shao Shude smiled and said, "If it's not possible to rely on robbery, livestock must be raised by themselves. If there is enough forage, it will reproduce quickly. Guanbeidao was also short of livestock. After twenty years of development, it has planted grass in spring and turned into turnips for winter after harvesting in autumn. Now there is no shortage of livestock, and it can even be sold to Guanzhong to support the three-cultural reform of Guannedao. It can only be rescued for a while, and it is not a solution after all."
Pei Di sighed, he knew that the saint was telling the truth.
"Let's do that." Shao Shude said again: "This year, Liang Hangong robbed more than one million cattle and sheep. The Yinshan part was divided, and there were still 600,000 left. I made the decision and distributed it to Bianzhou. More than ten states of Henan Road, and one or two samples were first created. In this way, if others see the benefits, it will not be too difficult to implement it in the future. I will also ask them to raise 500,000 sheep and send it to Bianzhou for the pastures of Heyang, Guozhou, Jiacheng, Linru, and Xiangyang."
Speaking of this, Shao Shude suddenly remembered Wei Bo.
In history, Zhu Quanzhong's army was stationed there. Luo Shaowei supplied 700,000 cattle, sheep and pigs in half a year. This is a fat place to drink oil.
But he quickly rejected it again.
He did steal a lot of Wei Bo's livestock, but most of them were sent to Xiangyang to provide them with Wei Bo's people who were placed there.
Forget it, it can't be too much.
The plan was decided, and the officials of the Secretariat who accompanied him immediately drafted an edict, and the edict was issued that day. The officials of Bianzhou, Junyi, and Kaifeng immediately copied it, posted it everywhere, and spread it to all directions—
"From my arms... I have the labor of flying straw and grain, and the operation of deep trenches. The taxes are heavy but the people have no complaints. The work is busy and the soldiers are loyal and diligent. They have achieved the goal of sweeping the atmosphere and eliminating false rebellions... I still think about the fate, but I am deeply praised... I do not give up the favor and kindness, so that I can express my favor and sacrificing the old land, hoping to express my favor and surrender to the way of Yu Dunfeng... Bian and slid into the 23 counties of the three prefectures of the Song Dynasty, and the amount of sheep should be reduced by a hundred liters, and the course will be returned to school every year... idle fields, and new households will be allowed to build houses, or they can farm, and exempt from labor. In this way, the master will be appointed as a neighbor to collect tenants. So that he can be healthy and prosperous, so that he can express his kindness."
This edict first talks about the people of Henan who have suffered too much and made great contributions. Shao Sheng felt ashamed, so he wanted to give them benefits: First, sell sheep to the people, each head is a hundred cents cheaper than the market price, and it costs about 200 yuan to buy it, and pay it in five years; second, divide the free land of the owner and allow them to build houses and farm.
There is no doubt that the targets of the united front this time are rural farmers, urban handicraftsmen, ordinary soldiers, literati, merchants, etc.
Immediately after this edict, Shao Shude ordered the recruitment of thousands of children with skilled bow and horses in the three states to enter the Yinanzhi.
This is the United Front Officer and the rich family, giving them the opportunity to stand out as officials.
Actually, I have done this before. This time I "increase the dosage" and let me take another wave to see how it works.
In short, Shao Sheng began to bribe the Xuanwu Army's prefectures, covering all the upper, middle and lower classes, striving to slowly digest them and become one of his basic platforms.
This is a long-term job. If you do it well, it will inevitably profoundly change Henan's economic foundation and harvest a huge wave of unimaginable people's hearts and expectations.
Speaking of which, this is also one of the achievements of the tour - the achievements achieved by the people of Henan.
If Shao Sheng doesn’t come, God knows how long it will take to wait. The land without a border has been taken away by the government. I plan to buy the fields and I can share them with you? Can sheep be sold to you so cheaply? Can agricultural officials be sent to teach you the new farming model? Dream!
