"The Emperor Gao granted him the title of Prince's younger brother, and the canines of the earth controlled him. This is the so-called sect of the Rock." "Historical Records Xiaowen"
In ancient times, the division of administrative regions focused on the four characters of mountains, rivers, shapes, and directions. It is rare that the boundaries of prefectures, counties, and counties are not divided according to the direction of rivers and mountain ranges, such as the Qinling Mountains between Yizhou and Sili, and the Taihang Mountains between Bingzhou and Jizhou.
The reason for this division is largely because there are differences in economy, culture, climate and soil between the two regions separated by mountains and rivers, and there are different development methods between each region. Therefore, this division will make official governance more efficient.
Convenient.
As for Hanzhong, which originally belonged to Bashu, and the folk customs were completely different from those in Guanzhong, the emperor, from a military and political perspective, wanted to eliminate the dangers of mountains and rivers that Yizhou relied on, break the geographical basis for future ambitions to segregate Yizhou, and prevent division.
That's why Hanzhong was included in the Sili School and Wei Department, which meant that it was placed under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. But from a governance and economic perspective, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty of governance for Sili, which was not a good thing.
"Hanzhong has always been owned by Yizhou. Once it is subordinated to Qin, Shu will be in danger. Although it is for Du Jian to guard against Meng, it may also go against Yu's intention of dividing the state." Ma Rixi also felt that Hanzhong was separated by
The Qinling Mountains are difficult to communicate with the three auxiliary areas and are inconvenient to manage. On the other hand, it is because of the differences in the territory that they are not willing to accept it, so it is said.
"Yu Gong divided the world into nine states. That was the division of the world by the ancients. People in later generations cannot change it with the times. If so, why did Emperor Xiaowu set up thirteen states to be governors?" The emperor smiled disapprovingly.
Laughing, Hanzhong was indeed owned by the Shu Kingdom at the beginning, but was later captured by the Qin Kingdom, and fought with the Chu Kingdom for decades, so the culture of Jingchu, Bashu and Guanzhong was mixed, not just the Shu. Besides,
, even if Hanzhong is returned to Yizhou, will his governance costs be reduced?
Seeing that the important matter had been decided, everyone could only say: "I would like to make your promise."
At this time, the emperor couldn't help but look outside. There was a clear blue sky between the nearby eaves and the distant door wall. It was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. It was originally a humid season in late spring, but it was as hot as midsummer.
Seeing this, the smile on his face couldn't help but fade a little. He lowered his head and fiddled with the good news on the desk, and said softly: "The victory over Hanzhong is the first good news this year."
Since the beginning of April, there has been no news of rain in the counties and counties in Guanzhong. Although the arrival of the drought has long been expected, the imperial court has also done a lot of response work such as ditches and grain storage, but when it
When it really arrived, everyone was still a little anxious. After all, the power of God was unpredictable and the manpower was slim, so the news of the victory of the Southern Expedition was undoubtedly a good thing that could inspire people.
Taiwei Dong Cheng suddenly winked at Wu Shuo, a close confidant on the side, Shangshu Pu. Wu Shuo immediately understood and said: "I heard that Hanzhong is rich, with treasures in its treasury and mountains of grain and grass, all of which have been managed by the rice thief Zhang Lu for many years.
Now that Sili Xiaowei has pointed his troops towards Baishui, the imperial court will transport grain and grass to his army. The route is long and crosses mountains, which may become more difficult. In addition, in recent months, drought has begun to appear in Guanzhong. Therefore, in my humble opinion, "
He deliberately gave it a pass, and the emperor knew what he was hiding, so he nodded and said, "Well, go on."
Wu Shuo couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts for a while, so he had to lie down on the ground and said in a more serious tone: "It is better to let the commander of Sili eat locally, and draw all the needs from the Hanzhong treasury, which can ensure the continuous supply of food and grass."
, it can also save grain and millet for the court to prepare for drought."
After the emperor heard this, he didn't say anything for a while. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Then he suddenly turned to ask Yang Qi, the minister in charge, "What do you think, Mr. Yang?"
Yang Qi stared at Wu Shuo. Everyone here was a human being and knew what Wu Shuo was planning. The Hanzhong treasury was sealed after Xu Huang entered the city. In order to avoid suspicion, Pei Mao also sent people to guard it closely.
, for fear of someone being tampered with inside. Therefore, in the memorial, the imperial court was even asked to send people south to prepare for receipt and inventory. Now the money and food are being thrown to Pei Mao for his own disposal. Even if Pei Mao himself is honest and honest, it is difficult to protect his subordinates.
I won't have bad intentions, this will eventually be a hidden danger.
The emperor specifically asked Yang Qi's opinion because he wanted to see Yang Qi's attitude towards Pei Mao. Telling the truth would disturb Dong Cheng's mind and make the other party dissatisfied and silent, which would also make him feel sorry for his honest heart. Moreover, Zhao
Wen is still waiting for the interface.
Yang Qi carefully bypassed this pit and said euphemistically: "It is certainly possible to use Hanzhong's treasury to fund the front army, but we should also be careful against Xiaoxiao's arbitrary arrangements and profit from it. It is better to send a capable official from the imperial court to go
Supervision of grain in Hanzhong."
Ma Rixi grabbed Bai and said: "Last time, Wei Duan, the governor of Wudu, mobilized the people to supervise and protect the grain road, which was quite effective. Although he did not have the ability to kill the enemy, he had a record of planning and planning. Instead of entrusting it to others,
It is better to continue to make it more convenient for him to supervise food and grass management."
When Wei Duan, a native of Jingzhao, served as the Huangmen Minister, he was recommended to the emperor by Ma Rixi. In his view at the time, this was just a casual move, a simple transaction to achieve political mutual trust between him and the emperor.
That's all. After all, Wei Duan's reputation has not spread beyond the prefecture and county, and his ancestor's family background has long been in decline. He has almost never entered the center of the court, so Ma Rixi has neglected to win over them, and his attitude towards them is not the same as towards Ma Rixi, the servant.
Yu, the Fifth Patrolman of the Agricultural Enforcement Order and others were so close and serious.
Who would have thought that such a figure who had been ignored by him and branded as a Kansai would actually be valued by the emperor. By getting close to Wei Duan's two sons, Wei Kang and Wei Dan, Wei Duan indirectly changed his stance and jumped to the emperor's side.
camp. It is obvious that Webster has a bright future in the future, and there is no need to rely on the shadow of Fufeng Ma. It’s just that because of the inseparable friendship from the same country, he did not completely cut off contact with Ma Rixi. This time
Ma Rixi planned to learn his lesson and consolidate his relationship with Wei Duan, Jin Shang and others. He had to carefully maintain relationships with these Guanxi scholars, even if they were wandering on the edge of the power field.
Although the Kansai scholars still have a strong position in the court by virtue of their home field advantage, in the eyes of outsiders, after the dismissal of the scholar Sun Rui, Kansai has begun to show decline. Ma Rixi took advantage of the final recording this time.
Before being rewarded for his merits, he showed favor to Wei Duan just to try to cheer him up.
"The situation faced by Wudu is not much simpler than that of Yizhou. On the one hand, Wei Duan had to guard the Chencang grain road and comfort the county people. On the other hand, he had to keep an eye on the movements of the Qiang in Longxi with Zhong Yao, the governor. It was a heavy responsibility, so let him go to Hanzhong Prison.
Food, what should Wudu do?" The emperor shook his head and directly rejected it and said: "It is inappropriate."
"Your Majesty is wise, and I agree." Yang Zan, the minister, heard this and agreed: "Wudu County borders Longxi and Hanyang to the north, Baima, Shenlang and other Qiang people to the west. It is in an important position. It is not only related to the military affairs of the southern expedition, but also to
With the situation in Yongliang, how can we again assign him to Wei Duan and distract him from his duties?"
The emperor is currently planning to find something for Han Sui to do in Liangzhou, so at this time, he will definitely not let Wei Duan allocate his energy to the southern expedition: "Wang Lang is a man of great talent, liberal arts, thrift and thrift.
Are you saving money? Now that he has been appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong, let him rush to Hanzhong and first count the money, grain and goods in the treasury, and then work with Zhu Hao, the commander of Nanzheng, to live within their means and be responsible for the military supplies of the Southern Expedition."
Seeing that the direction of things was somewhat unexpected, Wu Shuo looked at Dong Cheng worriedly. Dong Cheng's face was as dark as water and he replied loudly: "But, in this case, the food in the Hanzhong treasury is enough to support the army for several months. So.
With the skills of the generals in the southern expedition, the imperial court can conquer and recover Yizhou in these few months. Therefore, I boldly requested an edict that it is better to shelve the grain and grass that will be distributed to wait for drought relief, and then send it quickly.
The cavalry issued the edict to Hanzhong, and Xu Sili, the captain, took the money and food from the treasury on his own."
