Xianzhou is a newly established Zhengzhou based on Xiande Prefecture in Zhongjing, Bohai Sea.
Xiande Prefecture originally had jurisdiction over six prefectures and 25 counties, but now it has been merged into seven counties, namely:
Xiande County, present-day Gucheng Village, Xicheng Town, Helong City;
Shanlu County, now Dongshengyong Town, Helong City;
Weicheng County, today's Musan, North Korea;
Shengji County, present-day Baihe Town, Erdao, southwest of Antu;
Rongshan County, now the ancient city of Beida in Yanji;
Lingfeng County, northwest of present-day Dunhua;
Tongshan County, northwest of present-day Wangqing County.
According to rough statistics, there are more than 22,700 households and more than 104,200 people in the seven counties.
These are the figures after the war, which is a bit miserable, but there is still room for exploration...
"The ruler of the Bohai Kingdom has no skills in governing the country and is incapable of managing the government. Even the sacred land is trapped by tigers and wolves. Thousands of people are inhabited, and it has turned into thorns. At present, there are only a few men and women, ten houses and nine empty houses. All people and cattle are dead, and silkworms and wheat cannot be harvested.
The ancients said, "Huang Lao said that tranquility is the basis, and the situation has finally been calmed down. If we continue to act in reverse, the people may be killed by swords again, which is really unbearable." In the Xianzhou Prefecture Office, a group of officials kept admonishing.
"At the beginning of spring, the crops in the east are about to flourish. With timely rain and snow, there is hope for plowing mulberry trees. There must be no turmoil."
"There are groups of bandits and thieves fighting together, and the soldiers and horses are passing by and there are no people around. Is this what the saint wants to see?"
"Mohe is constantly in chaos, spying on the vassal, and the soldiers and the people are angry. It is better to gather all the disciples and soldiers of the court to attack them, and maybe the household registration can be greatly increased."
Listening to the noise of these officials, Gao Shanben's brows almost knitted together.
If you want the wealthy family to release the hidden population, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing them.
In fact, the people are there, and the nobles cannot cover them with a piece of cloth, but they are just there. The government's household registration register has been updated, but there are still too many people who are not registered.
"Everyone!" Gao Shanben slammed the table, startling everyone.
"The saint did not send me to Xianzhou just to flirt with you." Gao Shanben scolded, "After a winter of fighting the chaos, you must have understood. The famous king's horse was defeated, and the handsome commander was awarded the head.
Even the head of Mohe Chieftain was chopped off more than ten times. Can he survive the beating? Is it necessary to beat him?"
A young general standing behind Gao Shanben glanced at the crowd and sneered again and again. Gao Shanben had just introduced that this man's name was Li Congke, who used to be a general of the Wan Sheng Huangtou Army. The Wan Sheng Army shone brightly in the war against the Khitan.
, indestructible. After the war, Jingzhuang was selected into the Forbidden Army, and the remaining troops were reorganized into soldiers from various regions.
As a senior general of the Wansheng Army, Li Congke was idle for a period of time, and then he was appointed as the commander of the Xianzhou State Army. He led the state troops composed of 500 Qingsai Army and 500 Weisheng Army to guard Xianzhou. He also served as the commander of Xianzhou Army.
, Lu Erzhou recruited envoys - one thousand people was indeed not many, but there was no way. Among the tens of thousands of Qing Sai Army and Weisheng Army who were waiting to be divided, only about two or three thousand people were persuaded to divide the territory.
To the east, west and south three capitals.
In addition, Luzhou is a prefecture under Liaodong Province that is under preparation, based on the former Yalu Prefecture in Xijing, Bohai Sea.
"It is not a good habit to give up good wealth." Li Congke snorted and said, "The aristocratic families in the Central Plains also have to pay taxes, and they are not allowed to hide their household registration. The former Tang Taishi Xiao Yu took the initiative to offer Huazhou's farewell gift at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
Courtyard, villagers, can't you learn from these righteous deeds?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
For more than two hundred years in Bohai, under the clan politics, you have me and you, and you have to wait until the overall thinking changes to do anything you want to do.
Now that Bohai has perished, it is the Da family that has perished, not the Li family, the Yang family, and the Zhang family...
"Shuangyan congratulates the family, and is willing to donate a hundred hectares of land and 400 households." Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more dull, He Shao, the former governor of Rongzhou in Xiande Prefecture and now the Sima of Xianzhou, said.
Shuangyan was a county under Luzhou and has now been abandoned as Shanlu.
Gao Shanben was overjoyed and said, "Congratulations on Sima's righteous deed, he will surely reach heaven to hear it."
He Shao glanced at Gao Shanben with a complicated expression, sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "We are all Xia Chen, and all the things in the past no longer count.
. Today the Holy Emperor is on the throne, he is generous and benevolent, and it is a blessing to appoint us as officials. It should be, it should be."
In fact, what prompted him to make this decision was Gao Shanben's appointment as governor.
The Gao family has been a top family member since the Goguryeo era, and is still favored and powerful in the Bohae Kingdom. Gao Shan instinctively became the governor, and he must have lost his sincerity, and people like him have succumbed. The He family even "right-wing"
How can a family persist even if their last name is not included?
"He Sima understands righteousness well, and he is indeed extraordinary. I will have a few drinks with you after I go down straight." Li Congke's right hand left the handle of the knife and said with a smile.
"I can't get what I asked for." He Shao also said with a smile.
"Actually, do you know that the saint is planning the imperial examination rankings?" Gao Shanben said suddenly.
"What is the imperial examination score?" He Shao asked.
"For example, if we scholars from the old Bohai region want to take the exam, due to various reasons, we may not be able to pass the exam in Kansai and Henan, where literary styles are more prosperous." Gao Shanben explained: "But if we draw a separate list and set a quota for Liaodong, then
No matter how you take the exam, there will be a certain number of Liaodong scholar high schools every year, wouldn’t it be a great good thing?”
He Shao's heart moved, this was indeed a good thing.
When the others heard this, their emotions seemed to be ignited all of a sudden, and there was a buzz. Gao Shanben coughed twice and said: "Everyone, the saint has a broad mind and regards the world as one family. He has the style of Emperor Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty. Bohai is a small country.
, the household registration is only more than one million, and the maximum number is ten states, and there are more than three hundred states in the world, which one is big and which one is small, which one is minor and which one is important, you are all smart people, I don’t need to say more."
Gao Shanben has actually said a lot and made it very clear.
The Bohai Sea is just a corner of the world. Beyond this corner, there is a wider world. The emperor will give you places to take the exams so that you can go to the Central Plains to become officials through the imperial examination. If you manage it properly, you will not be able to let your family spread from the Bohai Sea to the entire world.
The world, to seize greater benefits?
"Liu Chonggui, the prime minister of the former Tang Dynasty, was preceded by the Huns. Bai Minzhong was from Kucha. Luo Shaoquan was from Tochar. Bi Cheng and Cao Que were all from Sogdiana." Gao Shanben added: "Daxia and the former
Tang Wuyi has a broad mind, even more than that. Our appearance is all similar to that of China. Isn’t it easier for us to make progress than the people of Qiuci, Sogdia, and Tochara?”
Liu Chonggui, Bai Minzhong, Luo Shaoquan, Bi Cheng, Cao Que and others were born in Tibet. They all served as prime ministers of the former Tang Dynasty, and they were also prime ministers who took office after the Anshi Rebellion. This explains everything.
In terms of appearance, the Bohai people are "more Chinese-like" and indeed have greater advantages than them.
"What Duke Gao said makes sense." He Shao sighed: "I heard that during the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Gongfu, the prime minister, was a native of Aizhou, Annan. His breadth of mind was indeed unparalleled by anyone in the Celestial Dynasty."
Actually, Jiang Gongfu's ancestral home is Tianshui, but there is no need to elaborate on this matter. "What about you?" Gao Shanben turned his attention to other officials.
"Mr. Jin Dewen, I would like to donate thirty hectares of land and one hundred and fifty households."
"I would like to be the Cui family of Chengcheng"
Others also expressed their opinions one after another.
Gao Shanben laughed loudly, comforted them with gentle words, and then asked them to perform their duties and work peacefully.
After the meeting was over, Gao Shanben invited Li Congke to the backyard and sat across from each other to have a drink. "Mr. Gao stepped forward and the matter was determined. I will admire you." Li Congke played with the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile.
"Actually, that's not the case." Gao Shanben shook his head and said, "General Li went to that station today and overpowered the entire audience. This is the most important thing."
Li Congke felt comfortable hearing this, but was not humble and offered Gao Shanben a drink. Gao Shanben drank it down in one gulp with a smile on his face.
He was not lying. The success of his persuasion today was inseparable from Master Wang's brilliant record of defeating all the enemies in the Bohai Sea.
It is easier for people to obey if we first win a fundamental military victory and get rid of everyone's luck, and then throw out sweet bait and persuade people to obey.
The saint is good at painting cakes, and it can even be said that his skill in painting cakes is at its peak. But he never talks in vain, but actively implements it. He gave the Bohai family the opportunity to be an official in exchange for their support for the new dynasty and the surrender of some of their people.
Land and land are essentially a transaction, and the Great Xia Forbidden Army is the guarantor of this transaction - without a guarantor, the risk of the transaction will be infinitely magnified, or even broken.
As a result, Gao Shanben admired the saint even more.
He knows how to fight, he also knows how to trade, and he also knows how to pull everyone on his ship to make everyone rich and prosperous together.
The combination of interests is the most stable. After the Bohai family got on the ship, they settled down for decades and their thoughts of resistance faded away. Even at the end of the dynasty and Daxia fell apart, these people in Liaodong would rush to enter the customs to fight for power, and
It is not about separatist rule and establishing a country on its own. Because some of them are in the Central Plains and have interests in the Central Plains. The moment they received education from a young age, their elders told them to study hard, practice martial arts, and go to Luoyang, Peking, and Chang'an to become officers and generals.
Perhaps, this is the true intention of the saint. He stands higher than everyone else and is not limited to any family or surname.
How could such a genius come from the Central Plains!
****
In Longquan Mansion in mid-to-late March, although we still see rain and snow from time to time, if we count carefully, we will know that the weather is really getting warmer and spring is approaching.
On March 21, Shao Shude issued a decree: Zhao Kuanglin, the governor of Tangzhou, was appointed as the governor of Liaodong Road and Longquan Yin, King Shao Huixian of Han was appointed as the commander of the Longquan camp, and Chu Shenping, the direct commander of Yin'an, was appointed as the commander of the capital of Liaodong Road.
, the deputy envoy of the Longquan camp capital command, and the Yicongjun envoy Wu Zangjieming, who was still on the way, was appointed as the deputy commander of the Longquan camp capital.
In the end, the saint still did not hand over all the power of Liaodong Road to one person.
However, Zhao Kuanglin, Chu Shenping, and Wu Zangjieming are all warriors, and Shao Huixian is a prince. It can be seen that there will be a bloody storm in Liaodong Road this year, and it is impossible to delay the work of reorganizing households and reorganizing the people.
And with this order, everyone knew that the saint was about to return to the court.
Some people are happy and some are sad about this.
Those who are happy believe that if the situation in the old Bohai land continues to be turbulent, the Xia Lord may follow the old example of the former Tang Dynasty and return the Bohai king to use the strategy of restraining the emperor to quickly stabilize the situation - this is actually a group of Bohai veterans including Dazhuan.
idea.
The sad people are more realistic and think that after the Xia Lord is gone, the warriors will be more unscrupulous, which is not a good thing.
But no matter what they think, things have been decided. People who are sober will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and make the right choices. People who are not clear-headed will die.
