On the Boping City Tower, Zhao Xun is inspecting the repair of the city wall. According to the scheduled plan, the first thing to do is to increase the thickening of the city wall, and then build a small acropolis on both sides of the north side of Boping City, and the soldiers stationed in the garrison.
Guard the safety of Boping City.
"The general needs to measure the land, check the population, reduce rent and taxes, transfer households, and unify commercial taxes?" Wei Zhong, the magistrate of Boping County, who was officially appointed by Zhao Xun, lost his voice after hearing what Zhao Xun said.
Say.
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Yes, you must know the actions of our army behind enemy lines. The most fundamental reason why we can win and make the bandits grow stronger is that the people are suffering. The wealthy families in various places occupy privately
There are countless fields, privately supporting the family and soldiers, and regard the Tang army's government and nothing."
"This time we moved from Siyang County to more than 80,000 people, and in addition, we were inflowing from the Tang army, nearly 90,000 people. I plan to leave 10,000 people in Boping County, which is considered to be the land of Boping.
You can't let Boping not even be able to support himself."
"But..." Wei Zhong was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Boping was besieged by the Tang army for more than half a month, and all the surrounding villages and towns were destroyed. Except for the main land, the rest were all owned by the government and agreed to be distributed. No villages and forts in various places were allowed.
To privately raise private soldiers, even if there is one, the Duwei Mansion needs to send someone to supervise. If anyone is dissatisfied, he will be treated as colluding with the enemy!"
"Okay, since General Li said this, the officials will definitely be able to do it well. To be honest, the officials have no good impression of these village families. There is no big problem with Boping implementing this policy. But look at the general.
The meaning is that it seems to be ready to be implemented in Siyang County?" Wei Zhong said with a smile.
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the people, we have to do it, we have to do it. For the sake of ourselves, we have to do it!"
"By the way, Shanyang Prefecture will send nearly a hundred young officials. They have certain theoretical foundations and basic governance experience in dealing with various things. They will arrange them everywhere. I don't want Boping to be with the government.
The same thing used to be, it was a decoration. To implement new policies, people who dared to do it."
"The emperor receives the order! The general said this, and the emperor feels relieved. After half a month of war, there are very few officials in Boping County." Wei Zhong said in a deep voice.
Seeing Wei Zhong say this, Zhao Xun asked lightly: "I remember Lord Wei should be a big family. In addition to wealth, there are also thousands of hectares of fertile land in Boping. Although it was temporarily desolate due to the invasion of the Tang army in the south, the Tang army is now
If you retreat, these fertile fields can still be taken back. In addition, the Wei family in Zilin Town, west of the city has more than 500 local tyrants, all of whom are elite. Lord Wei is willing to implement the military order issued to Shanyang Prefecture?"
Wei Zhong saw that there was no one around except Zhao Xun and the dozen guards around him, and chuckled and said, "General Li is not from Shanyang Mansion, right? In addition, Feng Zimingfeng, the lord of Shanyang Mansion, is now Feng Zimingfeng.
Sir, I'm afraid I'm following General Li's wishes, right?"
Zhao Xun smiled faintly, turned to the side, looked at the busy people in the distance, and said casually: "Oh? What does Lord Wei mean?"
Seeing that Zhao Xun was not angry, Wei Zhong felt relieved and said, "I think the policies that the general is basically the same as those in the north."
"This does not mean anything. Nowadays, in order to develop strength and consolidate localities, all forces are following the advantage of each other. What's so special about me imitating the north?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Wei Zhong glanced at the soldiers around Zhao Xun and said, "But General Li's way of leading troops is also very special. Especially after the officers under his command rectify the army, the first thing they did was not to continue training and improve combat power. But just like the north,
Tell us about military rules and regulations, and warships. Although other troops have followed this, there are very few who can persevere and let the soldiers around us stand in place, just like the guards around us, and not move for half an hour."
"There are many people who implement new policies in various countries, but there are not many who can make up their minds and directly attack the big players. Although they all want to get rid of these big players and clan forces, they do not want to affect the turmoil within the sphere of influence.
If these big clans are trapped in the enemy, they will not take action immediately."
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "In this way, Lord Wei should surrender to this kind of force. Only under their hands can you gain faster room for improvement."
Seeing Zhao Xun say this, Wei Zhong was delighted, which shows that the other party came from the north as he expected.
"On the surface, as General Li said, defecting to them may be able to improve faster. But Boping has no one except being able to rely on the Tang army, Yanzhou army in the south and Xuzhou army in the east. And these three parties
The power is far from that in the north. In addition, after the battle to defend the city, the fertile fields outside our city had been destroyed, and the tenant farmers had become refugees and were confused about death. Not to mention collecting rent, it was the tenant farmers who wanted to rent the seeds, only
I'm afraid there is no use. In this case, no matter which force it is, it is now secretly suppressing small clans like us. In the short term, it can climb quickly, but it may also be destroyed overnight.
.Now the Tang army is now using the help of bandits to understand the local tribes?”
"In addition, because of the attack of the Tang army, there are not many rural brave men in our tribe. I am afraid that they have been recruited by the general or given a household registration. They are no longer as prosperous as before. The only thing that has not been lost is set in
Although the shop in the city was not well managed due to the war, as long as the war was in a truce, coupled with the general's unified commercial tax, it would soon prosper. In addition, the elders in the family were optimistic about the Shanyang Army, not the Tang Army and
Yanzhou Prefecture Army.”
Zhao Xun smiled and said nothing. He knew that most of what the other party said was true. It was not himself who was optimistic, but Xiaoguo Army in the north. In addition, they were even more afraid that if they did not cooperate now, they would soon
The new county magistrate will take office and capture all the big clans in one go. It is best to clean up the places under the command of the Shanyang Army, which is not because of Boping. After all, after a great war, the big clans' power has been almost exhausted. Of course,
, This refers to the forces and network of relationships that dare to fight against the government, rather than money.
Wei Zhong knew very well that the nearly a hundred minor officials sent by the other party were probably the ones who really controlled the county's government affairs.
"Master Wei, if you want to be recognized, you must do it. We only look at political achievements, not identity. However, I remember Lord Wei's sincerity." Zhao Xun said lightly. Wei Zhong said this, that is,
He showed himself that his family was willing to take the lead in supporting the rules set by Zhao Xun and would also govern in Boping according to Zhao Xun's rules.
Zhao Xun stayed in Boping for two days, stayed at Zuodu, with Wei Dong as Boping, responsible for the defense of Boping County, and also cooperated with Wei Zhong to implement the new policy. In order to defend against the Tang army, Zhao Xun also used the war horses in his hands.
, left Qianpi and Zuodu. Then, he took the third capital back to Juye County.
"The lord is in the southern part of Liangzhou Prefecture, and he has made a big statement. He led more than 3,000 remaining troops to the rear of the Tang army, looted property, armor and equipment, and twice captured the enemy's army Siyang County, and led the army to the ability to lead the army
, I admire you."
"Feng Ziming, Lord Feng, when did you start to learn to flatter?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"It's not that my subordinates flattered me, but because of the actions of the adults, Xu Jie dared not easily make any military moves towards the connected Shanyang Prefecture. By the way, the lord also stole 80,000 people from Siyang County.
.Tsk tsk, that's exactly what it is!" Feng Ziming said with a loud laugh.
When Feng Ziming was like this, Zhao Xun shook his head.
"By the way, how many officials are there with the Jizhou caravan this time? What's the arrangement?" Zhao Xun thought of the nearly 100 young officials who came to Boping, and couldn't help asking.
"There are more than 500 people coming from Youzhou. Now, except for more than 50 people who stay in Juye County, the rest are sent to various counties, with the largest number of Boping, and more than 80 people were sent." Feng Ziming took over.
He smiled and said seriously.
"Five hundred people? It seems that there are quite a few!"
"Yes, my subordinates didn't expect that the lord would train so many young officials. Although they were minor officials, they really decided the authority of the whole place. These people seemed to have some experience in governing, lord, they
Did it be drawn from the rule of Xiao Guojun?"
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "No, it was selected from the Young Guards."
It turned out that because the Unified Office of the Internal Affairs Office adopted orphans, their ages and physical strength vary. Zhao Xun divided them into two categories: army and official officers, and the army was naturally the young guards and young men.
Guards. Among them, those with agile thinking can continue to study in the Military Academy, and then become low-level officers or even higher. Officials are taught by former court officials who were dismissed from Zhao Xun as their posts and followed the local government office after being taught.
After a period of internship.
If you want to implement the new policy in the local area and to completely grasp local rights, it will not work without your own people. In addition to these officials, there are also soldiers of the young guards who are also secretly coming here. Youth young guards are also coming here.
The Guards were young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty. After systematic training, they were more like professional soldiers than these government troops.
"The lord wants to implement the new policy throughout Shanyang Prefecture?"
"That's right, why, it's very difficult?" Zhao Xun asked back.
Feng Ziming shook his head and said, "No, the less territory, the earlier it is implemented, the less difficult it is. In the battle of Yanzhou Prefecture, there were enemy Tang troops in the north. They decided to cooperate unless they wanted to seek death. In addition, according to
The lord's orders mean that we will also govern in a moderate manner, and there will be no problem of being unable to resist. However, it is precisely because of the war in Yanzhou Prefecture that if we are busy implementing the new policy at this time and drag down the army's retreat, then we want to fight here.
It is probably even more difficult to get benefits from it."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "It is certain to seek benefits, but it is not possible in the short term. You can only wait until the three armies have exhausted their strength to avoid encountering strong counterattacks from the other party. In addition, we must also look at the response of King Qi.
Only by making the most correct decisions.”
After making up Zhao Xun, Feng Ziming no longer continued to get involved in this issue. He also knew that Zhao Xun's words were reasonable.
"Situ Lei did not move, and he would attack Murong Cheng and his army as soon as he moved. I don't know how Murong Cheng would deal with it?"
Zhao Xun frowned slightly and said, "This Situ Lei is indeed a scheming and calculating figure. He is just a frame of Xu Jie, Xuzhou Army, Wuwei Army, and Murong. Forget it, don't think about it anymore. The one who should worry about it now is Murong Cheng.
Instead of us, sit and watch the wind and clouds, wait for them to fight. I’ve handed over here to you. It’s been a long time since I left the North, so it’s time to go back.”
..............
Zhao Xun was going back to Youzhou. In addition to leaving home for a long time, he also returned successfully because of the caravans sailing from the ocean. After all, this was considered to have opened up a maritime business road, and there should be new plans. These complicated things,
Relying on information transmission is naturally not possible. In addition, staying for too long is also unfavorable to stabilize one's rights.
It was not very troublesome to go back, but it was not easy. You had to go west to Yanzhou Prefecture, cross the Yellow River, and enter Jizhou, and then you would be your own territory. When Zhao Xun passed by Yanzhou Prefecture, he found that because of the war, the people of Yanzhou Prefecture were the most important.
, and they also began to stay away. It has to be said that, in addition to the reputation of the Xiaoguo Army's preferential treatment to the people, many people have traveled across the Yellow River and wiped away Jizhou, hoping to seek a life under the rule of the Xiaoguo Army.
Zhao Xun was naturally satisfied with these. After all, there were still many fewer northerners than the south. Although he had been constantly absorbing refugees over the past few years, he was still not as good as the southern states. In other words, he was not as good as the southern states.
Liangzhou and Ningzhou are better, but now Jizhou, Qingzhou and Youzhou have more than Yongzhou. There is no way to do this. In recent years, severe drought in the western region has caused food shortages in Yongliang and the people.
I had to get out and seek survival.
It was not until he informed Youzhou that he arrived in Jizhou City that Zhao Xun used the banner and patrolled all the way under the escort of the army, and rushed back to Youzhou City without stopping.
When Zhao Xun entered Youzhou City, the crescent moon had already risen, but it was close to fifteen, and the moonlight was bright.
The Grand Governor returned to the city, and the civil and military officials in the city had already greeted each other at the city gate. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he saw Xu Qinlian, Su Ran, Li Xinyan, Su Ziyan, Ruyu, Asli and Asbi were stationed.
Looking out of the city gate, the civil and military officials were on both sides and waiting behind.
Because the cavalry responded, they naturally had been waiting here for a long time.
It has been half a year since we got together. Whenever a messenger came, we would have letters from all the girls and some handmade gifts. However, Zhao Xun had too many affairs and had to go back and forth, and he just wrote a letter and brought everyone's
The name was sent back by the messenger. Thinking that they had been fighting outside for half a year, they were also worried and scared in Youzhou City for half a year.
When Zhao Xun got closer, the girls suppressed their excitement, held their eyebrows down, and hid their lovesickness between Yingying. However, Asli and Asli had no scruples, nor were they as reserved as the Han people.
, looking at myself with tears in my eyes.
Around the city gate, there were soldiers of the cold soldiers, the guard camp, the second government army, and the guards were nearby. The inner guards of the Governor's Office also appeared under the city gate, beside the women.
The girls had many lovesickness, but when they were outsiders, especially in front of many subordinates, she also kept her body and bowed first: "I have met my husband, Xu!" The girls followed her and bowed.
"See Daddy!"
"I have met my lord!"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhao Xun, who had turned over and dismounted, said to the girls softly, and then said to the children: "Go back and wait to receive the gift!" Finally, he said loudly: "Thank you for your hard work! Go back to the city! Go to the governor's mansion!
, Everyone drinks together!"
"Roar...roar...roar..."
There are three consecutive roars, needless to say, these are the three lawless big tigers in the Grand Governor's Office. Generally speaking, the three tigers are kept by dedicated people and will not easily hurt people and animals.
"So big! He grows so fast!" Looking at Maomao, the size of his parents, Zhao Xun touched his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Obviously, Maomao, the big guy who has grown up, still recognized his master who had been with him for several months. He stretched out his big tongue and licked Zhao Xun's hand, rubbed it a few times on his body to show his intimacy.
There is no need to explain in detail the master and ministers drank together for one night. Next, they just went back to the inner palace to talk about the pain of longing with the ladies. Zhao Xun also told the girls about his actions in Yanzhou to them, and they talked about each other overnight, and the friendship was deep.
Including, it is naturally more difficult to express.
After Zhao Xun first coordinated the government affairs of Xiaoguojun, he met with the maritime merchants Zhang Yunqi and Gu Fei. They were also from Baiyu Business and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and were also the pathfinders of this maritime trade.
The two of them said that Zhao Xun also had a certain understanding of Haimao.
I have to say that the attraction of interests cannot be underestimated. In India, Persia, Sri Lanka, Arabia and other places, there have been sea merchants in Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and their business is very popular. Even in Guangzhou and the southeast coastal areas
There are many Dashi merchants who came from the sea. They set up special residences called "Fanfang", which has a great influence in the local area.
Of course, the risk of maritime trade is very high. Navigation in the sea is different from inland rivers. The wind and waves are uncertain, and people are always in danger of life. If you are not familiar with the navigation in the sea, you will most likely have no bones left. Even Zhang Yunqi, Gu Fei and the others this time
, and had encountered strong winds and waves many times and almost died. However, the huge profits still stimulated many businessmen to take risks. According to the carrying capacity of the two of them, they can earn at least tens of thousands of silver coins every year. This is real silver.
Ah, who doesn't jealous?
Upon hearing the development of maritime trade in Jiaozhou, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh... Isn't it too late!"
Zhang Yunqi and Gu Fei also felt the same way. Zhang Yunqi said: "This is nothing to do. After all, we do not have the convenience of Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and Jiaozhou with Nanyang Sea Trade. Thinking about the fact that Jiaozhou was just a wasteland.
Even before the prosperity of the sea trade, the land was still a barren land. Guangzhou Prefecture had only more than 200,000 people in the past, but now it is even more than that of the Central Plains Prefecture.
It is precisely because of this that the governor of Jiaozhou also wanted to compete with the kings of Qi who occupied Jing, Jiang, Yang and Yuzhou in the north. Of course, in addition to the sea trade in the south, we can still fight with Yizhou and Xinluo in the east.
Peninsula trade.”
Zhao Xun sighed secretly, the geographical gap could not be compensated at that time. The maritime trade was booming, and the shipbuilding industry was naturally developed. This was extremely beneficial for the navy and the navy. Of course, it was more important.
Yes, taxes will be high and the economy will be prosperous. Otherwise, how could King Murong Cheng of Qi give up fighting with Situ Lei in the court, and instead go to Yangzhou in person to preside over the recovery of Jiangzhou? It’s not because of this place.
He is very important.
"Have you been intercepted by the Yangzhou Navy?" Zhao Xun thought of another question and asked anxiously. Among the Xiaoguo Army, the navy and the navy have been officially separated, and their respective natures are different.
"Never! We have never docked in Jiangzhou and Yangzhou. Even if we replenish fresh water and food, we were still in Jiaozhou. However, when we passed by the sea outside Yangzhou, we also encountered the Yangzhou Navy. But the other party just made a simple patrol and collected it.
In addition to some money, no sea ships heading north were intercepted."
Zhao Xun nodded secretly, so he felt relieved. After all, he did not intercept the ships from Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and even Xuzhou to Japan to the Shira Peninsula. As long as they are not able to be destroyed, they will be allowed to sail, even if they are docked and replenished.
Food and water are allowed. Even Zhao Xun issued a military order to the inspected Qingzhou Navy. During the inspection, he encountered a ship in distress, both Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and rescued dozens of them.
A sea ship that was hit by storms and attacked by pirates.
For Zhao Xun, they were just merchants, and as long as they did not sell weapons to the hostile forces they were fighting, it was allowed. For example, when the last time they attacked the Qingzhou Wuwei Army, that is, the Tang army, blocked the sea area and prohibited the southern sea ships from transporting the Wuwei Army.
Replenishment is also a first notice and warning, allowing them to stop at their own port, sell goods or leave. Only when the persuasion is invalid will they be punished. Of course, if the transportation materials are weapons and equipment, they will be confiscated directly.
I think it is precisely because of this that the merchant ships heading south have not been intercepted. After all, normal business is beneficial to both sides.
