The weather is getting hotter, but there are so many people running around outside.
Especially the intellectuals and gentlemen who usually have nothing to do, have recently suffered from the old sin and have been running away.
On May 19, a group of people headed by Kaocheng shogunate Shi Pantao and Sima Pei Shao arrived at Cangyuan north of Bianliang and met with Shao Xun.
Shao Xun is inspecting the place where the soldiers are resettled.
There is a large city built in Cang Yuan, which is said to be the residence of Cang Jie.
Twelve hundred soldiers from the government are already in place, with 300 people in one defense and four defenses in total. Cangyuan City is the headquarters of Longxiang Mansion.
Because they arrived relatively late, they missed this year's farming season. After taking over the land, this group of people were not in a hurry. They tidied it up and cleared the mature land that had been abandoned for two years, and planted it again next month for a short growing season.
A little harvest of grains will do.
Shao Xun met Pan Tao and others in a small farmyard.
Because it had just rained, the ground was muddy, and there was a lot of chicken and duck excrement, which was very smelly. But a group of scholars in wide robes and long sleeves came over in a noisy manner, stepping on wooden clogs.
Seeing Shao Xun sitting in front of the chicken coop, playing with a big yellow dog, Pan Tao stood in awe and praised: "Being in filth and being calm and composed, this is the nature of a gentleman."
Pull a few eggs! Shao Xun secretly complained, I just think it's cool here, after all, there is a big tree above my head.
"Yang Zhong, I know your purpose of coming." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Yanzhou Pastoral Association will set up a government to govern Kaocheng temporarily, and later move to Bianliang. But -"
The soldiers brought several Hu beds and couches. Pan Tao, Pei Shao, He Sui, Wang, Pei Miao and other senior officials sat down, while the others stood in the courtyard and listened silently.
"The Mu Shogunate in Yanzhou is not too big, so some people either join the General's Palace or join the Liang Kingdom, and they all have different positions." Shao Xun said, "You have worked hard for the King of the East China Sea for many years. I have seen it all, no matter what.
I will forget it, there will be endless wealth to enjoy in the future, don’t worry.”
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
After the general and shogunate of the town army were deposed, some people left, but most of them stayed in order to continue to follow Duke Chen and keep their wealth.
Today I got a personal answer, and I suddenly realized that the wait was not in vain.
Shao Xun also felt a little emotional.
When he was the Marquis of Luyang County, the official positions were not full.
The scholars were either not optimistic about his future, despised his background, or were discouraged and unwilling to serve as officials. In short, few people were willing to help him.
Now, he is actually worried about having too many staff and wants to lay off some of them.
Looking back on the past, it feels like a dream.
"Everything in Yanzhou counties is as usual." Shao Xun added: "There are only three things this year. One is the resettlement of the soldiers and their tribes, the other is the continued promotion of the two-year and three-crop system, and the third is the construction of Bianliang
.If you do these three things well, you will have merit, and I will not hesitate to reward you."
"As ordered." Pan Tao and others responded in unison.
"Yang Zhong." Shao Xun looked at Pan Tao and said warmly: "You gave me advice back then, so that I can be where I am today. This year, the Yanzhou shogunate will take care of my life. Next year, I will come to Bianliang to help me. The post of imperial censor is vacant."
Pan Tao was overjoyed and immediately replied: "Thank you, Mr. Ming."
The imperial censor is equivalent to Sikong, one of the three princes.
But most of the time Sikong has a false position. If he does not record the affairs of the minister, he does not have much power.
In the past, Cao Cao's Wei State and today Chen Gong's Liang State both had imperial censors. It was not just a matter of the three princes, but a serious reorganization of the supervisory system, which had great power.
If the position of prime minister is vacant, generally speaking, it is most logical for a censor to fill the position.
Duke Chen did not let Pei Kang, Wang Yan, Lu Zhi and others serve as officials of the Liang State. He would rather put them into the court or the general's palace, so that we could get a glimpse of his inner thoughts-the Liang State was not willing to compete with his feudal state.
The Langya Wang family, the Hedong Pei family, the Fanyang Lu family and other established noble families were related.
Those who entered the Liang Kingdom were either in-laws, old friends, or newly promoted people who had the gift of knowledge and encounters.
However, Shao Xun quickly told him that he was wrong——
"Cui Yu of Qinghe will serve as your official assistant and will be appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng. He will come to Bianliang in June and July." Shao Xun said again.
Cui Yu was born in the Cui family of Wucheng in the east of the Qinghe River. He was the elder brother of Cui, wife of Wang Jun. Cui Aoze, the governor of Pingzhou, was the biological brother of the Cui family.
Hearing what Shao Xun said, Pan Tao immediately handed over his hand.
He knew that Mr. Chen was trying to win over the Jizhou Guan clan. It was indeed a good way to use Liang Guo's official position as a springboard to directly transition to a court official in the future.
Compared with the General's Mansion, General Longxiang's Mansion, and the Mianbei Governor's Mansion, the regional color of the Liang Kingdom may not be too strong. After all, it is a feudal state that spans the north and south of the river and has two famous cities, Daliang and Ye.
Then everyone talked about this year's spring sowing and the local public sentiment.
Shao Xun asked them to sow overwintering wheat in various counties after the autumn harvest was completed to ensure a grain harvest in May next year, and to harvest another crop of miscellaneous grains in September to increase grain reserves as much as possible.
In addition, there were more than 35,000 Hu people from various tribes who followed him south, and they also needed to allocate food and grass to support them.
After winter, while there is no war this year, we will repair the Yellow River embankment.
All in all, there are a lot of things that were accumulated and owed during the war that I had no time to take care of, so I should seize the time to take care of them.

After inspecting Cangyuan, Shao Xun came to Fengze south of Bianliang.
Fengze runs from north to south, running through the three counties of Junyi, Kaifeng (formerly Xingyang Kaifeng) and Weishi, with vast waters and magnificent scenery.
On May 23, Shao Xun sailed on Fengze by boat, patrolling and taking his family for fun.
Concubine Pei also came, bringing her son with her.
She gave birth to two children for Shao Xun.
The eldest son Shao Xu (nicknamed Nianliu) is five years old this year.
The second son was born in early February and was less than four months old. He stayed in Kaocheng and was looked after by a wet nurse.
When he saw the ship full of warblers and swallows, Pei Lingyan looked at Shao Xun with a slightly reproachful look.
I remember back then, when Shao Xun was playing with women and reported to Concubine Pei to write off the accounts. Now that his wings are hardened, a bunch of coquettish bitches are gathering around him. Fortunately, he has been fed by the women around him, and ordinary women can't get into him at all.
Eye of Dharma.
It would be outrageous to think that the children of aristocratic families often have dozens or hundreds of concubines, and the nouveau riche military leaders often have thousands or tens of thousands of beauties.
Shao Xun took Pei Lingyan's hand.
Pei Lingyan shook his head helplessly, but did not take out his hand.
Shao Xun smiled, Hua Nu was just nice, sometimes she felt like a sister and mother to him. Every time, she would first blame her, then feel helpless, and finally pamper her.
Liu Ye, who was three months pregnant, with a slightly bulging belly, stood aside with Le Lanji and others, chatting quietly. Occasionally, his eyes fell on Concubine Pei, and then quickly looked away.
Only Wang Jingfeng did not feel the unusual atmosphere on the boat at all. After seeing the waterfowl flying away from the frightened golden eagle, he walked over with a smile, sat down next to Shao Xun, held his arm, and said: "Lang
Jun, you’re not being nice to me, why don’t you go catch some fish?”
Shao Xun: "..."
"I have already given birth to a son for you." Wang Jingfeng shook his arm and said: "It hurts to give birth to a child. You have to be nice to me."
Shao Xun: "..."
He regretted it.
I had known earlier that I would sleep with Hui Feng instead of Dasha Niu Jingfeng.
But then again, the scenery is really exciting.
During the charge, the ground shook, and the majestic and steep mountain peaks shook out circles of earthquake waves.
With such an amazing figure and a face that is hard to match, I can't help but admit it.
Wang Jingfeng shook for a while, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Concubine Pei looking at her, grinning, stopped shaking, stood up and bowed.
Concubine Pei stepped forward, hugged Wang Jingfeng, talked and laughed, and went to look at the scenery.
Shao Xun's ears finally became quiet.
Yang Xianrong came over and pinched him inexplicably.
Shao Xun vaguely knew the reason, so he sat down with his arms around her and said a few nice words, which made Yang Xianrong laugh again.
Concubine Pei, who was not far away, glanced at him.
Shao Xun smiled lazily.
Yang Xianrong is so smart. If he doesn't lose his temper in public today, it's already a way of giving him face. He just needs to be coaxed.
As for Concubine Pei, she had always been tolerant of Shao Xun. Even if she was really unhappy, she would not look down on him in front of others, let alone make mischief when he was upset.
Alas, it is not easy for men.
Why the hell am I provoking so many women? I’m tired!
There were many shepherds busy on the east bank of Fengze. When they saw the ships passing by, they all bowed to the ground.
Shao Xun had a keen eye and realized that they were Liu Ye's tribe, numbering more than ten thousand people.
They marveled at the lush water and grass near Fengze. They were originally reluctant to go south, but now they all said they were lucky to have come.
On the west bank are Duan Mobo's tribe, numbering 20,000.
They also found that the quality of grassland in Henan far exceeded that of Youzhou and even beyond the Great Wall, and they felt a little reluctant to miss Shu.
"Don't you care about these barbarians?" Yang Xianrong asked casually after he felt better and could think normally.
"How is it possible! My land is so easy to get?" Shao Xun said with a smile: "The Luoyang Central Army suffered heavy losses this time. Fortunately, the Youzhou Tuqi Supervisory System is still intact. After a while, I will be among the various ministries.
Select 500 elite and suitable war horses and organize them into the Youzhou Cavalry Governor, expanding the armored cavalry to a thousand people. The Luoyan Army is also being formed, and some people who are good at riding and shooting will be selected. The number of personnel has not been determined, but it will not be less than
Two thousand people.”
The losses of the Chinese Army in Luoyang were indeed heavy, partly due to the siege losses and partly due to the suppression of the rebellion.
The Battle of Xin'an has ended, and it was finally captured after paying a heavy price of 15,000 casualties.
The Luoyang Central Army originally numbered 25,000 men, but after this battle, they lost more than half, leaving only 10,000 men.
By mid-February of this year, Wang Mi led more than 10,000 infantrymen out of the east of Baichao City. The Luoyang Chinese Army almost couldn't hold on and the whole army collapsed. Fortunately, the soldiers of the government fought desperately to rescue them. With fewer enemies and more enemies, they managed to stabilize their position.
.
Finally, Wang Mi rescued the remaining thousands of soldiers in Xin'an City and abandoned the city to defend it.
After the battle, the Forbidden Army soldiers almost cried.
In April, Taiwei Wang Yan ordered the wealthy families from the four counties of Henan, Xingyang, Hongnong and Shangluo to send 10,000 people to Luoyang to replenish the imperial army and restore the strength to 20,000.
The current Forbidden Army basically has the surname Shao.
The unreliable or suspected unreliable generals either died at the gates of Xin'an City or were purged during the rebellion. The rest are basically "Shao Family Ban", and the Forbidden Army can already be called "Shao Family Army".
"What exactly do you want these barbarians to do?" Yang Xianrong asked again.
"If I say -" Shao Xun pondered for a moment, then said: "If I say that the greatest advantage of the Hu people is that they have nothing to do with the wealthy families of Henan, do you agree?"
"I am also from a wealthy family in Henan." Yang Xianrong said in a low voice.
"You are my woman in the next life, so it doesn't count." Shao Xun smiled.
Yang Xianrong also laughed. After he finished laughing, he sighed and said, "Take it easy. After all, I am from the Yang family. It's hard to be a good person when I'm caught in the middle."
"No, no." Shao Xun patted her hand and said: "Duan Mobo and others want to fight Hongnong, Hanoi, and Qingzhou for me. As long as the situation is stable, how can they possibly attack Hongnong, Hanoi, and Qingzhou for me?
Do it yourself?"
"Where is Nanyang?"
Shao Xun was stunned for a moment.
There was no major incident in Nanyang, but there was a personal worry: the son born to him by Princess Liu of Nanyang unfortunately died in infancy.
In addition, Liu's other son Sima Bao was terrified in Qinzhou, but he was beyond his reach.
"There are no big things in Nanyang, and Wang Dun hasn't made any move yet." Shao Xun said: "Only you and - you and I can talk about these things. That's all, let's have a family reunion, don't talk about these disappointing things, in a few days
I’ll go to Luoyang that day.”
Yang Xianrong hesitated to speak, and finally said softly: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I don't know what to say. I just want to talk to you more."
"Ming Gong." Yang Qin sneaked over, carrying a bamboo basket, and said: "I just caught more than ten crucian carp."
Wang Jingfeng, who was not far away, saw it and his eyes lit up.
"Make it into fish soup. I want to eat it for lunch." Yang Xianrong said.
Wang Jingfeng's eyes widened.
Yang Xianrong looked at the scenery on the lake calmly.
Yang Qin looked embarrassed.
"Use my meat to make minced meat." Shao Xun said helplessly.
Yang Xianrong chuckled lightly and said, "Forget it, I won't eat fish anymore."
After saying that, he leaned into Shao Xun's ear and whispered: "Wash my feet tonight."
"I wish I could go to Luoyang now." Shao Xun sighed.
Yang Xianrong's eyes passed over Liu Ye's lower abdomen, then he blushed and said in an inaudible voice: "I brought the queen's crown uniform."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Shao Xun was overjoyed.
Chapter completed!
