As early as when Abaoji began to retreat, the news spread all the way back to Luoyang.
Shao Shude had just left the city and visited several wastewater sedimentation tanks in the east of the city.
The sedimentation tank collects sewage discharged from Luoyang City. After a long period of sedimentation, it flows through the gate into the next pool and finally flows into Luoshui River.
At this time, workers were already cleaning a sedimentation tank.
The water in the pool had long since flowed clean, and the smell of suspicious filth at the bottom of the pool was touching. Workers collected it and transported it to Sinong Temple's farm for stacking.
Sinong Qing Liang Zhixia was a little intolerable to these smells, but he did not dare to show it.
The saint didn't say anything, so why are you so pretentious? Besides, he has smelled worse smells.
In the open space where the filth is piled in Sinong Temple, there is not only this silt, but also excrement pulled directly from the imperial city and palace city. The messy things are piled together, and the officials said vividly that some of the excrement is "cooked"
Some of them were "fresh", and Liang Zhixia was so disgusted that she almost vomited out her rice.
But he also knew that this must be done. Chang'an's lesson was so profound!
Feces were discharged and disposed indiscriminately, polluting the water sources. The well water drilled in the city had a strange smell. People with a little wealth bought water brought in from outside the city, so that fetching, transporting and selling water became a common problem.
door business.
Luoyang is actually not much better. But after all, after the Anshi Rebellion, its status declined sharply, the population dropped sharply, and the city was dilapidated. It has slowly recovered. But everyone knows that as long as the population of Luoyang increases, sooner or later it will become what it was before.
What Chang'an looks like. Therefore, some problems must be solved.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry will continue to build pools next year, four in Henan County and three in Luoyang County..." Liang Zhixia said: "As a result, the site at Sinong Temple needs to be expanded."
"Sinong Temple will discuss this ministry." Shao Shude, wearing a dragon robe, walked by the slightly dirty sedimentation pool and carefully observed the bottom of the pool.
He remembered that in history, the first sewers built in Britain were made of bricks, just like Luoyang. The sewers needed to be cleaned regularly. Workers dug mud through the reserved entrances. After a long time, many people were infected with parasites. In this era
At a certain level, it is definitely impossible to find out what kind of parasite the person is infected with, and even the cause of the disease may not be known.
The sewer is indeed a place where filth and evil practices are stored, suitable for the breeding of bacteria and parasites. Some of the sewers that have been built in Luoyang are dredged mainly by war prisoners.
There are many prisoners. Recently, thousands of Tibetan and Qiang people have been sent to the Hehuang area. Shao Shude ordered that half of them stay in Chang'an to build the palace and the other half come to Luoyang to work.
After the Khitan is defeated, there are probably still many prisoners. Ziwei City will be completed almost next year, and it will be renovated the year after that, and it will be almost complete. Dongduyuan may be delayed until the year after next, but it is not too far away.
The next focus of these prisoners' work is the construction of sewer systems and roads.
Shao Shude suddenly liked this situation, because there was a steady stream of low-cost labor at his disposal. But he also knew that this idea was wrong, because the cost of acquiring these prisoners was very high - war was inherently expensive.
social activities.
"Next month, the King of Qinghe County will send thousands of prisoners, and I will keep half of them for Sinong Temple. You should tidy up your farm in Xiangyang and work out a charter." Shao Shude left the smelly sedimentation tank.
, said.
Sinong Temple has a large organization and a wide range of businesses. In the new dynasty, this organization had a tendency to expand.
Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, under the three provinces and six ministries system, the three provinces and six ministries are actually government agencies, while the nine temples are the affairs agencies. In other words, the relationship between the nine temples and the six ministries is actually a business counterpart.
The main counterpart department of Sinong Temple is the Ministry of Accounts, because the lumi of hundreds of officials needs to be allocated from the warehouse under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple. Even when the money and food in the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are insufficient, Sinong Temple still needs to subsidize part of it.
Because Sinong Temple has its own property: public fields, gardens, gardens, pastures, and palaces and palaces' auxiliary lands, such as lakes, forests, pastures, fields, etc.
Sinong Temple also has business relationships with other departments. For example, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple and other institutions organize banquets, sacrifices, and banquets, but it is Sinong Temple that really produces things.
The Ministry of Punishment will also send some criminals to Sinong Temple, usually those with little skills. Those with skills, such as skilled craftsmen, craftsmen, or good-looking female relatives of criminal officials, will not be admitted to the palace. "Incompetent people will be assigned to the Si Nong Temple.
Farmers".
In the early years, there was the Tuntian Association, and Sinong Temple also had contact with the Ministry of Industry.
In short, the Six Ministries and the Nine Temples are nominally on the same level, but the Sixth Ministry of Government Affairs has an actual business guidance relationship with the Jiu Temple, the administrative agency. The Sixth Ministry has fewer people and only issues policies, regulations, and articles, while the Nine Temples have more people.
In terms of specific implementation, the latter is actually half a level lower.
Shao Shude tried to reform this, but he did not yet have a mature plan. Taking Sinong Temple as an example, many local state and county warehouses have been divested and returned to the household department, leaving only the largest ones, such as Longmencang (Hezhong)
), Weishui Cang (Tongguan), Qianjin Cang (Lingzhou), Huizhou Dacang (Huiningguan) and Luokou, Heyin, Hanjia and other warehouses. However, according to the current trend, these warehouses will be transferred one after another in the future.
From now on, Sinong Temple will be transformed into a royal supply organization, with some of its own assets, self-sustainable, and at the same time carrying out scientific research projects such as livestock and crop cultivation, as well as farming.
"Over at Daibei, if we succeed in capturing Yun, Wei, Xin, Yi and other prefectures, Sinong Temple will send personnel there to set up several farming sites." Shao Shude added: "General warriors are indeed unwilling to farm, but taking prisoners is not necessarily necessary.
Okay. I will hand over the important task of farming to Sinong Temple, and you should handle it well."
"According to the order." Liang Zhixia responded immediately.
"Daibei, you must not underestimate it." Shao Shude said: "Although it is not as good as Henan and Hebei, it is not a barren land. During the Xianzong Dynasty, Daibei Water Transport Institute was still quite prosperous, but now it has been abandoned for only twenty years, or
It can be rebuilt. Manpower is not a problem, there are plenty of prisoners. Liang Qing can send people to Daibei to investigate and rebuild the Daibei Water Transport Institute."
Daibei Water Transport Institute was an important logistics supply organization for the northern defense system of the former Tang Dynasty.
The inscription written by Liu Yuxi to Xue Jian mentioned: "Living in Yanmen, he is responsible for grain farming, equipped with boats, and he recruits more than a thousand men who are brave and capable of bows and arrows. They are assigned rulers and five talismans, and they are made like boat masters."
The imperial edict was issued to the nobles to protect it. The sound shook the wall."
Daibei Water Transport Institute is mainly responsible for the shipping of Hutuo River and Sanggan River, and its main supply is the Datong Army.
This organization still existed until the rebellion of Li Guochang and his son, but was later abandoned and the staff dispersed. Shao Shude meant to send people to check the local hydrological conditions to see if it was still suitable for shipping.
Even if it's not suitable, it doesn't matter. Just open up wasteland along the river. There is plenty of land in a vast and sparsely populated place. Once local agriculture is restored, food and grass can be provided nearby, which is quite beneficial to the cause.
As for the manpower needed for farming, there is no need to worry at all, because the war on all fronts has been going quite smoothly recently——
The Khitan began a major retreat, and the armies began to pursue and regain the lost territory.
The direction of Yunzhou has entered the final decisive stage. Under the current situation, the Jin people may not have a strong will to fight. Victory is a high probability. The suspense only lies in how many enemies are destroyed and how much territory is occupied.
In the direction of Yuezhou, Zhe Zongben fought against the allied forces of Deng Jinsi and Ma Yin. They were first defeated at Dongting Lake and suffered considerable losses. After regrouping, they finally defeated the enemy, killed Deng Jinsi, and occupied Yuezhou.
Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, Ma Yin retreated and guarded the door. At the same time, he still peered at Yuezhou and wanted to capture it. Historically, after Ma Yin occupied Yuezhou, this place belonged to Hunan for more than a thousand years.
, has never changed, and before that, Yuezhou was a serious military state of Wuchang, belonging to Hubei, although it did not have this name at this time.
The war in Shu was even more volatile.
After Gao Renhou and Shao Chengjie went south from Bazhou, they first contacted the surrendered governor of Quzhou and attacked Pengzhou from the north and south. Guozhou was in panic all day long as if it was facing a powerful enemy.
Shao Chengjie personally led the troops, starting from Pengchi County on the banks of the Liujiang River, marching 200 miles south to Liujiang County in Quzhou, and then suddenly marched westward. Cooperating with Gao Renhou who was heading south, he fought several battles with the Shu army and conquered Guozhou.
Once this place was conquered, Langzhou was left alone. Maozhen's nephew Li Jiyun persisted for a while, but seeing that the situation became increasingly unfavorable, the entire army broke out and went straight to Shao Chengjie, intending to capture the thieves and capture the king first. As a result, the battle of Jialing River was
The armored cavalry was defeated, and Jiyun was awarded the title.
After the entire territory of Shannan West Road was cleared of future troubles, Gao Renhou proposed to attack the old territory of Dongchuan Town where Li Maozhen's rule was still unstable, and promised to do so.
So after the whole army recuperated and waited for supplies, the troops were divided into three groups.
The first group was led by Longjian Jiedu envoy Zhao Jian, and mainly sent troops from Longjian and Shannan West Road, and went south to pretend to attack Mianzhou, which was heavily defended by Li Maozhen.
The whole group was led by Gao Renhou and went south from Quzhou to Hezhou. The governor of Hezhou and Shi Jingling ordered Kaicheng to ask for surrender. The governor of Yuzhou further south heard that Gao Shuai was coming and took the initiative to send envoys to welcome the surrender.
Maozhen's nephew, Li Jichong led his army to Suizhou after staying at Dongchuan Festival in Jiannan. Shao Chengjie led the third group of troops to march west from Guozhou, defeated Li Jichong, killed thousands of enemies, and advanced to the city of Suizhou.
On the one hand, he sent people to the surrounding villages to plunder and replenish food and grass, and on the other hand, he recruited young men on the spot and stormed the city.
Li Jichong was unable to resist the enemy, so he broke out and retreated to Zizhou, where he recovered.
After hearing the results of the Battle of Suizhou, the Northern soldiers in Chang and Lu Prefectures under the jurisdiction of Dongchuan Town started a rebellion and wanted to surrender, but they were suppressed by Li Jichong's subordinates. However, if the current situation is like this, people's hearts will
Thinking of changes, Dongchuan Town is not Li Maozhen's basic base, and the situation is already in danger.
Gao Renhou picked this weak point to break through, and his strategy was impeccable.
The war in Shu is raging, and naturally a large number of prisoners have been produced. However, due to transportation and supply reasons, only more than 10,000 people have been sent to Luoyang so far. Reservoirs are being excavated, palaces and roads are being built.
There are also some criminal officials and family members of criminal generals, about 3,000 households, who have just arrived in Xingyuan Mansion. Shao Shude plans to send them to Daibei to make up for the loss of the local population. After years of war, the population of these places has been reduced to one order.
To the point of astonishment.
As for whether the Shu people can adapt to the northern climate, that is their own business. At least, the Shu people who were recruited from Zhisheng, Feng, Ling, Wei and other prefectures in central Sichuan have gradually adapted.
After leaving the construction site, Shao Shude returned to Shangyang Palace later in the evening. After accompanying him and having dinner, he went to Guanfeng Palace and summoned Honglu Qing Li Hang and Dali Qing Pei Tong.
After a confidential conversation, the two quietly left.
