When Wang Yan returned to Luoyang, he walked around Jingu Garden and then left.
Sheep are being killed every day, there are a lot of drunks, and the garden is full of people talking nonsense.
In the winter, shirtless people can be seen wrestling everywhere.
There are also people who get drunk and take a nap while resting their heads on hard prey - mostly deer, which is a pest of Luoyang.
As soon as Wang Yan inquired and found out that these people would not leave until after the official ceremony, he gave up and lived directly in the old house in Luoyang City.
After walking around for a while at home, Wang Yan felt bored after not seeing his daughter and granddaughters for a long time, so he left the city via Tongtuo Street.
Outside Kaiyang Gate in the south of the city, Shao Xun was surrounded by a group of people, pointing around.
"Is this Piyong?" Shao Xun looked at the courtyard with only half of the wall remaining nostalgically, and said: "I garrisoned here more than 20 years ago. At that time, there were only a few hundred soldiers, but Zhang Fang's soldiers were very large. That time
If the thieves attack with all their strength, the outcome will be unpredictable."
Following closely beside Shao Xun was the Great Jin Wei Wei Yang Jiazhi, the uncle of Yang Xianrong.
This position should have belonged to Yu Min, the Minister of Finance, but after winter, he was bedridden, just like his younger brother Yu Chen, and it was not long after that.
The Yu family suddenly lost two of its pillars, and its momentum was obviously affected.
There is still fierce blending within the Yingchuan Group, but other people don't care about you, Yu Chen, and Yu Min are not here, so Yang Jiezhi naturally takes over.
"Zhang Fang's people only have Luoyang in their eyes. They didn't even occupy the west of the city, so they just plundered the south of the city." Yang Jiuzhi said: "This generation is short-sighted and can't accomplish anything."
Shao Xun laughed and entered the half-ruined Piyong.
All you can see are broken walls, blackened beams and pillars, broken bricks and tiles all over the floor, and weeds so thick they are almost a field.
Occasionally, you can see grains of sheep dung, obviously someone has herded sheep here.
Shao Xun walked around and finally stopped in front of a house.
Yu Chen's family once lived here, and Shao Xun seemed to still be able to see Yu Wenjun's crescent-shaped smiling eyes.
"Let's bulldoze it and build a new one." Shao Xun said, "Just like Yecheng and Bianliang."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the dozens of officials who were following behind him, and said: "The outer city has become ruins, and they all need to be cleaned up. In the future, if you build more mansions and reward you, it will not be in vain for twenty years."
The merit of the retinue."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became heated.
It was easier to have a house in the capital during the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, there were even many ordinary people living in well-located places.
But as time goes on, decades or hundreds of years later, let alone ordinary people, it will be difficult for ordinary officials to get a residence in Beijing. Especially those who are promoted from other places and are not high enough to live in an official residence, then they can only live in an official residence.
It is not uncommon to be able to rent a house.
Everyone knows about the situation in Bianliang. Like Ye City built by Cao Mengde, many miles were planned. The closer it is to the imperial city and the palace city, the greater the value.
According to King Liang's wishes, a very beautiful mansion will be built in Lifang, which is closer to the imperial city and covers a larger area.
The value of the inner houses that are far away from the imperial city is low. There are no mansions built yet, and they may only be small and medium-sized courtyards.
From Long Zao, you get a mansion.
Since Longwan, I can only live in a small courtyard.
This group of people were early adopters and have accumulated a lot of achievements, so they have a great chance.
"The first square outside Xuanyang Gate, adjacent to Tongtuo Street, can be used to build a Tongzheng Square." Shao Xun looked at Yang Jiuzhi and said: "There are two houses built in the square, and one house takes up half of the square. Yang Gong has worked hard and made great achievements.
Get one of them."
Yang Jiezhi's face changed slightly after hearing this.
A house takes up half of a square meter of land. This is at the level of a royal palace, and its specifications are astonishing.
If Liu Hezhu or Liu Runzhong were to acquire this house, they would be surprised, slightly put off, and finally "reluctantly" accept it.
But Yang Ji is different. He has many ideas and always feels that this will put the Yang family on the fire and make others jealous.
So he immediately declined: "My merits are so small that I don't dare to receive such a huge reward."
"It's yours, it's yours, why do you have to do this?" Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "That's it. The Taiyang clan fought for me in all directions and kept Yandong, Henan and even Xuzhou safe. Why not reward me?"
Okay? Sir, please don’t refuse."
A bitter smile appeared on Yang Ji's lips, and he said: "I am an elder of the Yang family, and all my achievements were made by the younger members of the family. It's hard for me to feel at ease when I get this house."
Shao Xun smiled and said nothing.
Yang Jiuzhi must have a way to appease the branch of the clan and his descendants and nephews. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I can send someone to give you a hint.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we had to cultivate a huge family property like the Yang family, have so many tribes, and have fought in battles. We have rich combat experience, so we can take a share of it.
Regardless, others may have opinions.
Yang Jiuzhi must have thought of this, but how to do it depends on his own choice.
The Yang family is actually the epitome of a large family, but it is stronger and more typical.
Seeing that Shao Xun insisted on giving him this house, Yang Jiuzhi gradually understood and sighed slightly.
Shao Xun turned his head and whispered: "The Yang family is a famous family in the world. I don't know how much they have helped me in the past twenty years. No matter how much reward I receive, I can bear it. After the Chinese New Year and the construction of this house is completed,
Then we can put up the plaque of 'Taiwei's Mansion'."
Yang Jiuzhi was a Weiwei of the Jin Dynasty and had no official position in Liang Dynasty. The "Taiwei" mentioned by Shao Xun was obviously the Taiwei of the new dynasty after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was the same as the Taishi, Taibao, Taifu, Situ and Sikong.
One of the public, one of the genuine products.
Such honor was indeed a generous reward, and Yang Jianzhi could not say anything, although he knew that King Liang had never been stingy with official positions, titles, and financial rewards. He valued land and household registration more.
What else is there to say? Yang Jiezhi didn’t know, so he could only say thank you in a low voice.
******
When Wang Yan arrived outside Kaiyang Gate, the crowd had almost dispersed.
Shao Xun was wandering in the Mingtang opposite.
Many tents were set up here, and many people lived in the remaining houses, most of whom were members of Yang Tao's tribe who moved from Chang'an.
These people first came to Chang'an from Longxi, lived there for a few years, and then came to Luoyang from Chang'an. It was quite hard.
What's even more difficult is that they still need to work, that is, clearing the ruins outside Luoyang City and even building houses, which is the legendary work-for-relief.
These days, some people are already on the run, and it’s really hard.
As for why there was no rebellion, it was because the number of soldiers nearby was several times theirs, and they also included a large number of old, weak, women and children.
If you don't want to die, don't commit suicide.
Those who want to die have already been killed.
Wang Yan had no interest in these people and bowed to Shao Xun after seeing them.
Shao Xun returned the greeting, and then said with a smile: "Lieutenant came just in time, I still need you to plan important events."
"Alas, I have sold all my lifelong reputation just this once." Wang Yan said angrily.
"It's worth it," Shao Xun joked.
When talking to this old man, there is no need to be blind. You can't get around him in circles. He can talk for half an hour, which seems to be deafening, but in fact it is empty and is all emotional output.
Shao Xun really knows how to get along with Wang Yan.
Don't play tricks with him, you can't play with him.
Don't play tricks with him, you can't beat him either.
Let's be direct. If you ask a riddle, Wang Yan will immediately turn into the Riddler and fool you into confusion.
Shao Xun knows what he is good at and what the other party is good at.
In peaceful times, there are rules and regulations, and Wang Yan will eat him to death.
In troubled times, he used a knife to create rules and kill Wang Yan. It was that simple.
"Do you really want to depose the emperor?" Wang Yan asked in a low voice.
"I really don't want to do this." Shao Xun said, "But with so many things to do, the emperor may not be able to hold on for long."
"I heard it." Wang Yan sighed: "The ancients said -"
"Captain." Shao Xun coughed.
Wang Yan smiled and said: "My Majesty, the Imperial Palace has been established, but the steps are still difficult. Yesterday I met with Liu, and today I met with the officials to establish systems, determine official positions, and distribute noble titles. It is true that we cannot divide ourselves. The matter of the Zen Dynasty,
I am responsible for it."
"The Taiwei has taken the trouble." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Since the founding of the country, who has been the most powerful minister? Who is the Taiwei? I heard that Pingyuan County's products are rich in Yin, so I made it the king's food town."
Pingyuan County did not suffer particularly great damage from the war. The rent of 1,500 households was directly transferred to Wang Yan, which was a very stable wealth. The most important thing is that this county was under the control of King Liang and was given to him after the founding of the country.
, can collect rent immediately.
Wang Yan vaguely heard that Pan Tao was named the Duke of Yuzhang County, and he was just one step ahead of him.
Yuzhang governs fifteen counties (originally sixteen counties, one county was added to Xunyang County). It is the largest and richest county in the south of the Yangtze River after Danyang. However, the problem is that this county is still in the hands of Sima Rui and has to wait until it is conquered.
Only after Jiangdong can we actually give it.
That's the difference.
Of course, Wang Yan actually doesn't care much about this.
To put it bluntly, the land transfer after the founding of the country will cause considerable losses to the Wang family. How can a county official make up for it?
But under this situation, he couldn't think of any clever plan to prevent this, so he could only acquiesce.
In addition, since the Wei Dynasty, the number of food towns has not remained constant.
If you make meritorious deeds, you can increase your food supply; if you make mistakes, you can reduce your food supply.
Some marquises of pavilions and country princes even had more food and fiefdoms than princes of counties and princes. This was because they had performed meritorious service on the battlefield, and the court did not mention their title, but only gave them more fiefdoms. Hence, such a strange phenomenon occurred.
The number of 1,500 households is only the initial quota and may be increased or decreased in the future.
When Wang Yan heard Shao Xun's personal promise to make him the Duke of Pingyuan County in the future, Wang Yan was determined, which meant that his status in the new dynasty must be at the forefront.
Also, what do you mean by "a minister with a flat head"? You might as well speak more clearly, are you the Prime Minister?
Yu Zimei didn't even come to Luoyang, so she is obviously in bad health. Will the prime minister fall on me?
Wang Yan suppressed his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty's kindness is so great that it is hard for a servant to repay it, so I can only do my job with all my heart. At the official meeting, the prince of the supervising country may issue an edict to abdicate, and the king will resign. Issue the edict a second time, or
The edict can be issued for the third time in March. When does the king think it is best?"
"It's too tight. There's not enough time to handle many things." Shao Xun said, "Don't be anxious now. We'll talk about it after there is news from Liangzhou."
Zhang Mao of Liangzhou has died of illness, and now it is Zhang Jun who calls the shots.
Before Zhang Gui's death, there were many people who opposed him, but they were later suppressed and even defeated one by one.
After Zhang Gui's death, his eldest son Zhang Shi took over, but his authority was far different from Zhang Gui's. In the end, he was assassinated and died.
After Zhang Shi's death, his younger brother Zhang Mao was elected by everyone and appointed himself General of Pingxi and Mu of Liangzhou, which made the state even more chaotic.
The Xiongnu army threatened Zhang Mao and surrendered.
Tuoba Xianbei was so powerful that Zhang Mao became a minister.
Now that Zhang Mao is also dead, Zhang Jun, the son of Zhang Shi, takes the title of Duke of Xiping County and becomes the shepherd of Liangzhou.
It is worth mentioning that although the Zhang family was de facto independent, they did not claim to be the founder of the country. Their highest position was just the shepherd of Liangzhou. To put it bluntly, they were like warlords in the late Han Dynasty.
Of course, the imperial court recognized only the Duke of Xiping County, and all other generals and state pastors were self-proclaimed.
After Qinzhou was recovered, Shao Xun sent an envoy to Liangzhou to see if a result could be negotiated.
Although Liangzhou's soldiers were sharp, they had few household registrations and were very poor themselves, so they were unable to fight a long-term war of attrition.
Historically, Hou Zhao failed to send a large army to conquer, for many reasons, but to be honest, if he had changed his tactics and sent a large number of cavalry to harass, and at the same time recruit the county guards, magistrates, and tribal chiefs under Liangzhou, he would have exhausted Liangzhou due to his physical strength.
In short, he won't fight if he can, and Shao Xun can even tolerate Zhang Jun continuing to be the governor of Liangzhou (which Zhou Mu will definitely not give), provided that he becomes the governor of Daliang Dynasty.
The Liang Dynasty is not the former Zhao or the latter Zhao, so there is no need for Liangzhou to carry it to death.
However, if Zhang Jun was really a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, then there would be no choice but to use force to solve the problem.
