"Those who record events must mention their essentials, and those who compile their narratives must describe their mysteries. Those who are greedy for more must do more than they can, and those who are greedy for more will not give away anything small or large." Learn more and explain.
In the Xuanshi Hall, the emperor was still meeting with Situ Ma Rixi, Sikong Zhao Wen and other ministers.
After everyone deliberately ignored and snubbed Dong Cheng's appeal, the topic of discussion turned back somehow.
Ma Rixi was not discouraged when his recommendation to Wei Duan to handle military supplies for the Southern Expedition was rejected. When he promoted Wei Duan, he did not necessarily have to have the emperor agree with his recommendation. As long as this matter reached Wei Duan's ears, then It’s not like all the hard work was in vain.
So he did not force this, and after making a promise to everyone, he went on to say: "After this battle, Hanzhong urgently needs to help the people, whether it is to ensure that the garrison in the future can eat locally and not rely on transporting food, or to ensure that people can live here. , it is advisable to recruit good officials, with the emphasis on supervising and advising farmers."
"What do you mean?" the emperor asked. For the same minister's suggestion, he couldn't just reject or deny it. If what he said was meaningful, he had to give some sweetness appropriately to prevent one side from gaining momentum and the other side from gaining momentum. The situation is weakening. So he wants to hear what Ma Rixi has to suggest. If it is feasible, then he will follow him.
"Your Majesty promoted the military and civilian farming in Guanzhong, and the results were remarkable. It is an important task of governing the people today. Although Hanzhong was restored and Zhang Lu fled, the followers of Five Dou Rice Road are all ignorant and have no business. If the imperial court ignores them, no matter how Its coming and going may become a hidden disease. Just like after the death of Brother Zhang Jiao, his commander spread poison in all directions, and rebellions continued. He is still a scourge to various places and is difficult to control. This is a lesson for others." Ma Rixi said with rare experience: "That's it. , you might as well punish the leaders of the wine-sacrifice, ghost officials and other thieves set up by Zhang Lu first, disperse them, bring them into the farmland, and rule them with the generals such as Dian Nong Duwei, Nong Cao and others. One of them can work hard on the spot. "Sang, in order to cultivate Yizhou's civil affairs, we can also strictly monitor the believers to prevent secret connections."
Ma Rixi finished speaking in one breath, glanced at the pensive emperor quickly, and finally said: "I am a foolish minister, but my humble opinion is less than a cent, so please give me your Majesty's careful review."
"How can there be such a high-level talk?" The emperor raised his hand and said. The power of the Five Dou Rice Road in Yizhou is deeply intertwined. Most of the people at the bottom of Ba County are its followers. When Zhang Lu separatized Hanzhong, he even praised the Five Dou Rice Road, which was half forced and half voluntary. to make people believe in religion. If the court cannot manage these low-level believers well, they will eventually become a hidden danger and shake the court's rule at the grassroots level.
"Those who sacrifice wine, ghost officials and other thieves, regardless of their power or the severity of their crimes, will be arrested one by one by the government and will be punished." The emperor paused, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, thought for a while, and said: "As for them For the people who have no land or house, the imperial court can appoint officials such as farming and farming. How many households can there be in Hanzhong County under unified governance?"
"There are more than 57,000 households and more than 260,000 people." The minister ordered Yang Zan to know the official documents and replied.
The emperor asked again: "Where is Wudu?"
"There are 20,000 households and more than 10,000 people." Yang Zan understood somewhat and added: "These are records from decades ago. Times have changed and customs have changed, and the differences between today's households are quite different." In and out.”
"The war in the south is pending, the drought in Guanzhong is beginning to appear, and the Yongliang and Qiang affairs are on the alert. If your Majesty wants to cause big things, you might as well wait until the outside world is quiet before making any plans." Yang Qi said.
The emperor really wanted to imitate Cao Cao's historical move of households in Hanzhong, moving tens of thousands of households from Hanzhong to Wudu, Anding and other counties. First, he wanted to increase the proportion of Han people in the area and develop the local economy. Second, he weakened the Five Pecks of Rice Road. The forces in Han, Ba and other counties. In history, while dealing with Liu Bei's offensive, Cao Cao was able to complete the migration of tens of thousands of Hanzhong people into Guanzhong. Although this method of immigration caused many complaints among the people, it also showed that The national power at that time could cope with such a large-scale migration, and the current imperial court can certainly do the same.
It's just that everything is about stability and progress. At this stage, the imperial court is indeed as Yang Qi said. The internal and external situation is tense. It is not easy to support a southern expedition under the pressure of an approaching drought. It is really not suitable for another trouble.
What's more, Zhang Lu, Yizhou's tycoons have not yet surrendered. It is too early to say this now. The emperor has no such intention at all. He just wants to ask questions first, let everyone know the truth, and test the attitude of the ministers in front of him towards the resettlement.
Now it seems that the Yang family has the biggest reaction. After all, the imperial court had already moved the people to Zuo Fengyi once in Hongnong last year. The people who moved there were only the remnants of the rebel Zhang Sheng and others. It was just an unwarranted exception. Now
The emperor wanted to move people to Hanzhong again, and it seemed that he was going to make this a regular practice. Naturally, they had to delay it first and try the emperor's tone.
"What Mr. Yang said is that the believers all follow the thief Zhang Lu as their teacher. Forcibly relocating them may be against the will of the people. Let's wait until the thief leader surrenders and explains the truth to the local people before making any plans." The emperor put down the tea bowl and looked at it.
He glanced at Ma Rixi and said slowly: "Hanzhong has never implemented the policy of farming. I am not familiar with the system, content, and implementation of this policy. The same is true for Yizhou. In my opinion, let's let the order to encourage farmers
He went to Hanzhong to supervise the farmers, and cooperated with officials such as Dian Nong and Nong Cao to make the farming policy come into effect."
When Ma Rixi heard the sound, he was a little slow to react. Before he could speak, he was overtaken by Yang Qi, who had a straightforward temperament. When he heard the emperor speak, how could he not understand the meaning of those words?
?So he responded with deep gratitude: "I sincerely promise you."
"Zhang Lu was originally a Sima under the command of Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou. Over the years, he committed various rebellious acts such as killing the county guard without authorization, separatist rule, and promoting evil ways. Although Zhang Lu was the chief culprit, Liu Yan's dereliction of duty was hard to come by.
To escape the blame, Liu Yan was immediately dismissed from the post of state pastor, ordered to return the seal and ribbon, and return to the court as soon as possible." The imperial court's public reason for the southern expedition was always to conquer Hanzhong, and the few words mentioned did not mention Liu Yan, purely to reassure him.
Now that Hanzhong has been conquered, the emperor no longer conceals his intention to invade the entire territory of Yizhou, and simply resolves Liu Yan's position as Yizhou pastor, giving Pei Mao and others the status and reason to officially march into Yizhou.
All of this was the intended meaning of the question, and Zhao Wen and others were not surprised, and replied: "I wish you all! Yizhou is a fertile land with four fortresses. It should be easy to pull out Zhongzhi and grant him the responsibility."
"I would like to recommend a few people for the selection of the governor of Yizhou, please allow me to review the details." The emperor gave everyone a rare opportunity to recommend them. After speaking, without waiting for everyone's response, he waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to do here, so everyone should go down, right?"
Well, where is Kong Rong, the envoy of the Capital City, now?"
When Zhao Wen and others were about to get up and leave, they paused for a moment. Ma Rixi replied: "Looking at the itinerary, we should be at Zuofengyi to inspect Baiqu and other river works."
In March, Kong Rong was transferred from the position of Yilang to be the envoy of Du Shui and in charge of the water supervision of Du. As soon as he took office, he was sent by the emperor to inspect the conditions of Pichi and rivers in various places in Guanzhong. In the past two years, the emperor kept
Local counties were allowed to organize large-scale construction of water conservancy projects among Li people, and they even ruthlessly rectified the officialdom of Zuo Fengyi for the sake of river engineering, resulting in the former Sikong Shi Sun Rui and former Zuo Fengyi Luxu being dismissed one after another. The imperial court paid unprecedented attention to water conservancy and river engineering.
The officials no longer dared to slack off, and they all rushed to complete the task on time and within the time limit by the end of last year.
Even so, the emperor was still not at ease, so he sent the cheerful Kong Rong as the capital's water envoy to inspect the river work along the way and make final checks before the severe drought.
"He was away under the imperial edict, and apart from inspecting the river works, he was distracted to pay more attention to the drought situation in various places. Everywhere he went, he had to report Chen Shu." The emperor nodded and gave the final instruction.
