In the early morning, Yu Chen came to Bingjing Terrace.
After some inquiries, I learned that Mr. Chen lived in Tongque Terrace, so he went back again.
After going down to Tongjue Garden, he stopped for a moment because he saw Lu Zhi.
"Lu Changshi." Yu Chen saluted.
"Captain Yu." Lu Zhi returned the greeting.
Lu Zhi was originally a minister, but now he also has the position of the right chief historian of the Chariot and Cavalry Shogunate. The original Shogun Pingdong Shogunate had only one chief historian. It was reorganized into the Chariot and Cavalry Shogunate, with the right and left chief historians, Pei Kang as the leader, and Lu Zhi as the right chief historian.
Ambition assists.
Yu Chen was still a Sili school captain and a court official, and did not work part-time in the shogunate.
Today, the area north of Dahe is basically dominated by Yu Chen and Lu Zhi.
Although Yu Chen was Shao Xun's father-in-law, his foundation in Hebei was shallow and limited to a small area on the north bank of the Yellow River. Therefore, Shao Xun gave him the management of the three counties of Wei, Ji, and Dunqiu.
Lu Zhi himself was from Hebei. He came from a well-known family and had served in the Sima Ying shogunate for many years. He had a deep foundation. His wife was the daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe.
Affairs of the Seven Counties of Boling.
The three counties of Guangping, Yangping and Anping are handled by two people together.
Yu Chen's main task is actually to gather the refugees, resettle the people, check household registrations, and measure the acres. To be honest, these are all things that offend people, but they are also things that lay a solid foundation.
The powerful gentry forces in Ji, Wei, and Dunqiu counties have weakened to a considerable extent.
Located on the front line of the war, there were repeated tug-of-wars. The local snakes either died or fled, resulting in heavy losses. After Shi Le took control, he cleared a considerable part of farmland and pasture and classified it as official land, and "equalized the land" in Wei County to follow.
His many years as a sergeant divided his land and house.
After Shi Le's defeat, Yu Chen took over and used his influence as an official in Ji County for many years to further deepen and consolidate Shi Le's original policies and even clean up some powerful scholars who had colluded with the Xiongnu during the war.
They confiscated their villagers and their fields, turned these people into self-cultivators, and compiled their household registrations.
Lu Zhi's mission is completely different.
He mainly recruits surrenders and recruits rebels, and does not care about the interests of the local wealthy families. He even tries to appease and grant officials status. As long as you come over, everything will be easy to discuss.
This is what he is good at, and it is also where his strengths can be best utilized. He has done a very good job, slowly stabilizing the floating people's hearts.
It can be seen from the division of labor between the two that Yu Chen is managing the basics for Shao Xun, while Lu Zhi is trying to win over vassal forces for him.
Yes, the three counties of Wei, Ji, and Dunqiu are managed as the core base, along with Puyang across the river and Luonan counties in western Henan, Xiangcheng, Runan, Xincai, Nanton, Chen, and Liang
They have the same properties - of course, the properties are the same, but the degree of stability is different. After all, this is Hebei.
Guangping, Yangping, and Anping are between the basic forces and the vassal forces.
Shi Le divided the land in Guangping, and the number of homesteaders was quite considerable.
Yangping is located in a tug of war between north and south, but the tug of war is not strong enough.
Anping was the residence of the Jizhou governor of Liu Han, and many Hu people came. The wealthy and Hu people coexisted, and the situation was complicated.
To put it simply, the vitality of the local wealthy families in these three counties was severely damaged, but they still had considerable strength, and the situation was relatively complicated. Therefore, Yu and Lu worked together to deal with it. The ultimate goal was to weaken the power of the wealthy families and organize the Hu people into all households.
People, strictly control them, and gradually become the basic base.
Shao Xun has had this idea for many years and has persisted to this day.
He just wants to create enough farmers and run a strong fundamentals.
He divided the family into three stages: the "complete" family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the military family in the late Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the bureaucratic family in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The bureaucratic family is the ultimate goal and may not be achieved, but if we can get to this point, this life will be worth it - it is impossible to completely eliminate the family.
Military families are acceptable because their land, number of tribes, and influence are far inferior to those of the Wei and Jin families.
To put it bluntly, the economic base determines the superstructure. He aimed at the economic base of the aristocratic family, that is, land and population.
Is it scary to pull out thousands of soldiers at every turn? Who has the final say at the local level?
After Yu Chen and Lu Zhi saw the ceremony, they seemed to be in good spirits and went to the Tongque Terrace.
"I heard that Zidao went to the Bohai Sea to collect food, why did he come back?" Yu Chen asked while walking.
"The tribes in the Bohai Sea have given out 200,000 hu of grain and are transporting it to Nanpi." Lu Zhi said: "The Pingyuan Hua family was willing to give 200,000 hu of dendrobium, but the post of governor of Yangping was never fulfilled. I returned to Yecheng.
That’s why.”
"That's it." Yu Chen nodded and said, "The Hua family is a famous family, and Chen Gong once promised that he would be the governor of Yangping."
Lu Zhi felt a little at ease.
He couldn't decide Yangping's matter with just one word. He had to discuss it with Yu Chen. If he could agree, there would be no problems with Mr. Chen and he would definitely follow the good path.
Of course, the reason why Hua Chang became the governor of Yangping was not at all because of money and food. The most fundamental reason was Pingyuan Hua's influence in the surrounding areas.
With their people as officials, the place will be stable, they can raise money and food quickly, and they can also provide you with soldiers, servants and even some weapons and equipment. If you replace it with someone else, not to say it is impossible, at least it will be greatly reduced. This is what everyone has done since the Wei and Jin Dynasties
The most important reason why rulers have to hold their noses and cooperate with aristocratic families.
Plains Fahrenheit is willing to provide 200,000 grains of dendrobium, which is far more than the average. To put it bluntly, I am reminding Shao Xun, where is the Yangping prefect you promised? Hurry up and implement it.
Facing a behemoth like Fahrenheit, Lu Zhi did not dare to neglect. After handling the affairs of the Bohai Sea, he returned to Yecheng to urge him.
The two walked side by side and soon arrived at the foot of the Tongque Tower and climbed up.
In the early morning, the trees on the stage are lush and green, and the birds are chirping and circling.
Every seven or eight steps, there would be a sergeant standing at attention with weapons in hand, not squinting.
Occasionally I meet the servants who go up and down the Tongque Terrace.
Some transport grain, meat, fruits, vegetables and daily necessities upwards, while others pull discarded garbage from the platform.
With sharp eyes, Yu Chen saw a torn woman's belly, and his face suddenly darkened.
But it only took a moment, and he quickly returned to normal, but his eyes looking at the Tongque Terrace were a little more scrutinized.
Lu Zhi also saw it, and caught the fleeting expression on Yu Chen's face, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.
This Yu Zimei has placed many Henan officials in Ji, Wei, and Dunqiu. What does he want to do?
Lu Zhi smiled, went up first, and quickly climbed onto the Tongque Terrace.
"Ming Gong is taking a bath?" Liu Ling's words, who were on duty in front of the palace, made Yu Chen even more worried.
Wang Yifu’s daughter!
Every time he thought about this identity, Yu Chen felt a little irritable.
That's all for others. Wang Yifu is a famous person in the world, but he is burdened with inexplicable pressure.
"Yu Gong, Lu Gong, please follow me to the side hall to rest for a while." Liu Ling stretched out his hand, his tone was very good, but his attitude was also very firm.
The two nodded and moved forward.
When passing by an equipment rack, Yu Chen couldn't help but take a second look.
Mr. Chen has the habit of getting up early to practice martial arts, but today he stopped doing so.
****
There are also different sizes of baths.
A small bath is served by five or six people, and twelve bouquets of dendrobium are used - one bouquet is about twenty liters.
The big bath was attended by eight or nine people, and fifteen cups of dendrobium soup was used - an extra shampoo was added.
Shao Xun had finished taking a small bath and was sitting on the bed.
Wang Jingfeng was covered with a piece of gauze, and his beautiful body was vaguely visible.
She took out the lipstick and facial medicine to dress up Shao Xun.
"Forget it." Shao Xun quickly pushed away and said speechlessly.
Mouth lipstick has two meanings, one is an ointment to prevent cracked lips in winter, and the other is a pure cosmetic.
At this time, countless noble men were wearing lipstick and makeup, but even Shao Xun would not touch such a thing until he died.
Facial medicine is equivalent to powder applied on the face and is very popular among noble men.
Cao Cao's adopted son He Yan - Meng De took his mother Yin as a concubine and adopted this oil bottle - had a fair complexion. Emperor Wei Ming once suspected that his face was powdered, so he gave him hot soup noodles in the summer. He Yan ate while eating
After wiping off the sweat, it turned out that there was no powder applied.
Shao Xun doesn't like this stuff either.
He felt that he was a "mountain cannon" and a "country dog" and could not appreciate the "feminine beauty" of scholar men wearing powder and lipstick, so he declined.
Wang Jingfeng sighed, touched Shao Xun's face and said, "If you don't apply powder, your face will be hopeless."
"Didn't you experience the beauty of this face last night?" Shao Xun said with a smile.
Wang Jingfeng sat directly in his arms, blushing and said angrily: "I'm going to die."
Shao Xun hugged her tightly, and his hands were like snakes, swimming up and down the gauze.
Wang Jingfeng is in his thirties, but he has managed his body quite well, and he deceived many of his elite soldiers last night.
Of course, what satisfied him most about this silly woman was her character.
I even confessed to him last night about my marriage to Jia Mi, Duke of Lu County in my early years.
Jia Mi has been dead for more than ten years. The two were married for a short time and had no children.
Shao Xun is very satisfied. The woman is willing to tell you the truth. This is because she wants to live a good life with you, and she also likes you very much.
This is a sign of being conquered, he thought with some satisfaction.
Wang Jingfeng was so touched that he was out of breath. He quickly stood up with a red face, took the scented robe and put it on for Shao Xun himself.
The wonderful fragrance from the Western Regions in the incense burner was brought over by Wang Jingfeng. Shao Xun had only smelled it at Princess Xiangcheng's house, not at Concubine Pei's house, so she used second-class spices.
Wang Laodeng's family is really rich.
More than 10,000 pieces of cloth from his family have been used, which was Wang Jingfeng's dowry.
When will you make another fortune?
"Life is becoming more and more luxurious." Shao Xun sighed after putting on his clothes, smelling them.
"?" Wang Jingfeng was a little confused.
These are ordinary expenses, used every day, all the time. Can they be said to be extravagant?
"Lang Jun." Wang Jingfeng said: "You can save it in other places, but you can't save it here."
"Oh? What's the point?" Shao Xun asked with a smile.
"If you don't bathe and incense yourself when you go out to meet guests, wouldn't you be despising and neglecting your guests?" Wang Jingfeng said.
Shao Xun was speechless.
"Hehe. You don't need to buy it." Wang Jingfeng suddenly thought of something and snickered: "I brought all the incense burners that grandpa collected. My mother-in-law gave me the wonderful fragrance. I don't have any use for the wonderful fragrance from the Western Regions now."
After saying that, I actually started to feel silly and happy. Maybe I thought this was very interesting and fun.
Shao Xun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Jingfeng with doting eyes and said, "You should always be like this and be happy every day."
After that, he left.
Wang Jingfeng hummed a tune happily and was in a good mood. When he came to the window, he looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Well, I have to go find my sister.
She put on an underskirt and headed towards her sister's residence like a light and fluttering butterfly.
On the other side, Shao Xun had just met with Lu Zhi and Yu Chen when he received news: Liu Han sent Anbei general Zhao Gu out of Baixing and entered Ji County, with an intention to attack Chaoge and Gong County.
In this airy environment, there is really no rest for a moment. The "war season" of the new year will start on time, damn!
Chapter completed!
