Chapter Fifty-six Be cautious about matters in the Northwest
Huo Anguo lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Zhongyan, you mean County Chief Shi, the colleague who is responsible for the daily affairs of the County Council and the coordination of the three envoys, is my
Is this county magistrate Yin’s real deputy? We cooperate with each other, one pragmatically, the other pragmatically, to direct the three envoys through the county committee to make decisions on major political affairs in the county, and then control all political affairs in the county."
"I'm very pleased that you can realize this." Liu Kai praised, "The officials have put a lot of thought into designing this official system. The Three Envoys have the actual military and political power of the county, so they use the county magistrate Yin to directly control and
Supervision. The county magistrate Yin, with the title of direct bachelor of Chui Gong Palace, has the right to enter the palace to participate in state affairs. His suggestions are given priority by the cabinet for discussion. When the Ministry of Personnel and the Cabinet adjust personnel in the county, the opinions of the magistrate Yin are very important..."
"Ling Yin has the power to make decisions, but he can only make decisions through the county council and urge the three envoys to implement specific political measures... Each of them performs his own duties and has checks and balances. You must carefully consider this mysterious relationship."
Huo Anguo nodded solemnly.
Liu Kai stretched out his hand: "Anguo, let's eat food. I went to Xi'an Mansion, and I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities to eat such good food. Xi'an Mansion has gone through many winds and rains, and has declined badly. Since this dynasty, it has never been able to relax.
The official intention of the Western Expedition was to open up the Silk Road, so that the goods of the Song Dynasty would continue to flow westward, so that the northwest would benefit, and Xi'an might be revived as a result."
"Mr. Zhongyan, student, please remember."
"One more thing, let me tell you something. The northwest is sparsely populated, barren and cold. The officials feel that setting up four counties is too complicated, so they plan to merge it into three counties. Split Longyou County and add one part to Hexi County.
, part of it is transferred to Qinchuan County, and at the same time, it is intended to change its name to Shaanxi County. Shuofang County still governs the old Lingwu land and the Hetao land. The cabinet has already decided on this matter, so you just have to have an idea."
"Student, remember." Huo Anguo nodded, and then asked, "Mr. Zhongyan, after our government recovered Shuofang and other places in Hexi, many officials and scholars wrote letters, suggesting that we follow the rules of the Han and Tang Dynasties and move the people to live in the rich areas.
The people there are very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, but they have been suppressed by the officials. The student has never been to the northwest, and the whole story is not very clear. I wonder if Mr. Zhongyan can explain it? "
Liu Kai didn't expect him to ask this question, so he was stunned for a moment, then simply put down his kuaizi, took a sip of warm wine, and started talking.
"The official went to the northwest. In the second year of Yuanfu, he personally recruited the Hehuangfan tribe to fight against Longyou. Later, he went on an expedition to Mobei, taking the Hexi Corridor, Zhangye River, and Juyanhai roads. He also personally led the expedition
The army marched through Xingping City in Western Xia, the Qilian Mountains, the Helan Mountains... He has personally traveled through all the places in the northwest. Compared with those guys who have never been to the northwest and only know how to talk about it on paper, he has a much deeper understanding of the actual situation in the northwest."
"Official officials say that the environment in the northwest, especially the Qilian Mountains and the Helan Mountains, is very fragile. In the former Han and Tang Dynasties, large-scale farming and cultivation resulted in soil erosion and gravel. Tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland were often developed, but most of them were swallowed up by the Gobi desert in just ten years.
Moreover, it is bitterly cold and has little water, so growing crops often results in twice the result with half the effort."
Having said this, Liu Kai unknowingly changed into a different person, proud and looking down at the world.
"The officials are right. There are a lot of rich and unowned lands in the world. As long as our Song Dynasty cavalry and sea ships can reach it, it belongs to us. Why go to the bitter and cold land in the northwest to compete. There is no need to harvest more food, and there is no
How many people can we feed and leave a mess for future generations?"
Hearing these words, Huo Anguo felt a stream of heat running straight down from the Tianling Gai, and his whole body became boiling. Only those who have followed the official family in the north and south, and have won many battles, will speak in the calmest tone.
Come up with the most awesome words.
Liu Kai was still explaining everything.
"So the current strategy of the three northwest counties is to maintain food and clothing and balance expenses as the core. It does not seek to create much tax revenue, but only seeks to feed the officials, civilians, soldiers and civilians of the county. These are national policies, and you must be aware of them. Now as you
The governor of Xi'an and the governor of Qinchuan should be the leaders in the northwest corner. You must have this mission and work hard for it. Remember it."
From these words, Huo Anguo deeply felt Liu Kai's care and expectations for him. His throat was tight, his lips trembled a few times and he said: "Mr. Zhongyan, your kindness and kindness will be unforgettable by the students. I am going to the northwest.
I will definitely devote my whole life, exert all my energy, and be loyal to the king."
Liu Kai nodded happily, "Anguo, do your best. Not only do I value you, Brother Ji Zhong also values you very much."
...
Zhao Si could hear Ming Zhaoxia's brisk footsteps coming from the corridor through the door, and her urging voice, "Sister, hurry up, Thirteenth Lang is waiting for us."
Then I heard her pinching her voice and saying at the door: "Is this the famous White Jade Master Zhao Sanlang in the room?"
"I'm Thirteenth Prince Zhao, but I'm not Mr. White Jade, just a General Black Bear. May I ask who the lady outside the door is?" Zhao Si replied with a smile.
"I am Fairy Zhaoxia. I heard that General Black Bear has achieved great martial virtues and is the most powerful in the world, so I came down to the lower world to meet the general for a while."
"Haha, please come in quickly, Fairy Zhaoxia, please come quickly."
The door opened with a bang, and Ming Zhaoxia, wearing a red royal robe and a red dove feather hat, rolled into the elegant room like a ball of fire.
She glanced around the room and stared at Zhao Si - Yu Wenxuzhong had gone out to do errands, Yang Weizhong went out for inspection, and Zhao Si was the only one left in the room.
"Ah, why is my Black Bear General missing? How come he is replaced by a handsome man like the Dragon King's third prince? Could it be that you are the Black Bear General incarnate?" Ming Zhaoxia asked in a drawl.
"No, no, no, General Black Bear is my incarnation."
"Hee hee!" Ming Zhaoxia threw herself into Zhao Shisi's arms like a ball of fire, "Thirteenth Master——"
Zhao Si hugged her, but before he could speak, he heard someone at the door say: "I have seen the official family."
Zhao Si turned around and saw that Li Qingzhao was wearing a hookah-colored straight-embroidered blouse and a soft-footed futou. He looked like a handsome man who came from Yunmengze and was greeting him at the door.
"Why didn't Concubine De come in directly?" Zhao Si held Ming Zhaoxia with one hand and walked over. He held Li Qingzhao with the other hand, and then walked to the table holding the other.
Jia Xiang and Wu Baoxiang, who had their heads lowered at the door, quickly closed the door of the private room.
"How was your conference?" Zhao Si asked casually while pouring tea for the two ladies.
"Needless to say, the flags are waving and the gongs and drums are thundering. Well, it's not worse than the official science and technology conference." Ming Zhaoxia said with her nose raised.
"The meeting between officials and concubines went smoothly. There was nothing major at the meeting. It was just that some family patriarchs in some counties in western Zhejiang and northern Fujian, who were known as well-educated men, wanted their widowed daughters-in-law to observe the rules.
Sister Ming was very troubled after hearing this..."
Ming Zhaoxia couldn't help shouting and scolding at the side, "These bastards, what kind of etiquette should they observe? Why don't these old coffin bastards not observe etiquette when they are widowed? They can't wait to remarry their wives before their bones are cold! This kind of thing, we women will strengthen ourselves.
It’s settled! You’re only ten years old, why can’t you remarry? While you’re still young, remarry quickly and have a few more children. Do you think it’s an official family?”
Observance? Is there such a thing? It should be that the old conservatives have been suppressed and relegated to a corner. The more they decline, the more extreme they become. Looking at the information from various channels, this is a rare case.
Zhao Si waved his hand and said, "This matter is done voluntarily. You can't be forced to stay in the festival, nor can you be forced to remarry. It just depends on the wishes of the parties involved. Maybe the couple had a good relationship, but the official died and was heartbroken and unwilling to remarry for a while.
What? Don’t persuade others to do good without suffering others’ suffering. But do it voluntarily.”
Li Qingzhao's handsome face was full of joy, "The officials are still reasonable, and that's right. I also persuaded my sister at that time..."
"I see that you two are both civil and military, and you have managed the women's self-improvement society very well."
"That's right!" Ming Zhaoxia became active again, "I am a martial artist, and my sister is a literary and courageous person. Together, we have managed the Women's Self-Strength Association in an orderly and prosperous way. By the way, the official family has set up separate accounting and textile women's colleges.
The school and several medical schools are recruiting female doctors on a pilot basis. You should hurry up and inform the Academic Affairs Department about these two matters."
"I will tell Shutong and let him coordinate."
"That's good." Ming Zhaoxia clapped her hands and said with a smile. Suddenly her phoenix eyes moved like a silver chain.
"Guan family, I have invited a guest." This chapter has been completed!
