Chapter 295 Nanyang takes off in the fourth year of Jian'an
After Lu Bu's death, Cao Cao legitimately occupied Xuzhou.
Of course, he was a busy man and could not manage Xuzhou himself. Therefore, he appointed his general Che Zhou as the governor of Xuzhou and managed Xuzhou's military and political affairs for him.
In fact, to put it simply, it is just one task: to restore order in Xuzhou as soon as possible.
Just when Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting each other, Xinye Zhang Ji sent troops to Yuzhou. Taking advantage of the fact that all forces had no time to take care of Yuzhou, he quickly swallowed up Runan. Most of the surrounding Yellow Turban remnants had defected, only Liao Hua, Zhou Cang and others did not bother to fight with him.
Together with him, he fled directly to the East China Sea and went to Zang Ba, the leader of the Taishan bandits.
Runan is the ancestral land of the Yuan family, and it is a rear area that must be stabilized for Cao Cao.
So despite having consumed a lot of supplies, Cao Cao still went south to attack Zhang Ji. On the battlefield, Zhang Ji was hacked to death by Cao Cao's newly recruited fierce general Xu Zhu. With the help of Xi Zhicai's strategy, Zhang Ji defeated more with less.
, swallowed all of Runan.
Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu took Zhang Ji's place, but there were not many soldiers under his command. General Hu Che'er even died in the battle, and only his younger brother Hu Che'er was still with him.
At this moment, Zhang Xiu had no help from Jia Xu, so he had no choice but to seek refuge with Huang Zhong. The reason why he did not seek refuge with Liu Biao was because he understood that Liu Biao could not make the decision, and at the same time, Liu Biao would not value him.
Wu Fu's, after all Huang Zhong's precedent is placed there, he naturally knows how to choose.
After Huang Zhong consulted Liu Bian, he accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender and continued to appoint him as a general to guard Xinye. However, the prefect was replaced by Ling Zhan, who had just graduated from Huaxia.
Among the students who graduated in this class, Ling Zhan, who came from economics, is the best student. In economics, he has achieved very high results, and he also studied political science, which most students are studying, so
There is nothing wrong with serving as a county magistrate.
Anyway, Huang Zhong also said that he would let Zhang Xiu take care of him more before he got used to it. Zhang Xiu felt that this was a sign that Huang Zhong would not seize his power, so he was very obedient.
But he also knew that he would never be able to become independent. Because according to the new reform regulations of Nanyang County, the military salaries of his troops were all allocated by the prefect.
In this way, the men under his command naturally knew that they were receiving salary from the new master, not from Zhang Xiu. They even knew that Zhang Xiu had no way to pay them. After a long time, they naturally knew who they should listen to.
Military rations and military pay were allocated directly by county magistrates, which meant that the army began to escape the control of the generals. However, if officials were corrupt, there would also be great disadvantages.
But before the financial institutions are perfected, it can still be used as a transition.
As for the administration of officials, we have to think of ways to do it, whether it is to waste taxes and raise salaries to maintain integrity, or to increase supervision, or even a two-pronged approach is not bad, anyway, just try to control the financial system until it is completed.
China at this moment:
Sun Ce is attacking the remaining territory in Jiangdong.
Now that Yuan Shu was acting like a coward, Sun Ce naturally had no idea. He conquered the east and west, and soon captured all the land east of the Yangtze River, and ascended to the position of a large prince;
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Sheng fought extremely hard, and the exchanges between the two sides were very fierce.
The two were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other. Often after a fight, which consumed a large amount of troops and financial resources, they had to cease fighting for a period of time.
But as time went by, Gongsun Sheng became stronger as he fought, and Yuan Shao became stronger and weaker. The scale of the war had begun to tilt towards Gongsun Sheng, and with the help of Chen Gong recommended by Xie Xin, it was just a matter of time to replace Yuan Shao.
It’s just a matter of time;
Ma Teng of Xiliang accepted the position of governor of Liangzhou and general of the Western Conquest, and defeated Han Sui with the help of Liu Bian. For him, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, it was a good ending.
His sons, Ma Chao and Ma Tie, went to Chengdu to listen to him. They were like hostages. But after all, Ma Xiu was still with him, so it wouldn't cause too much embarrassment to both parties.
The generals under his command were all rewarded. Except for a few who stayed under his command, the others were assigned to guard Yong and Yi. Their positions were improved a lot. But because their status was higher, they took the initiative to distance themselves from Ma Teng.
relation.
Now Ma Teng has only General Pound and surrendered general Yan Xing under his command. Pound is naturally his favorite general, but the existence of Yan Xing, who is said to be a fierce general under his command, is actually just a monitor sent by Liu Bian;
Yuan Shu finally couldn't hold on any longer, so he packed up his belongings and started heading north.
The territory under his command was too badly damaged, and due to reputation issues, few people were willing to settle under his rule. As time passed, he almost couldn't pay for military rations and pay.
Under such circumstances, he could only choose to go north to seek refuge with his brother-in-law Yuan Shao. Otherwise, there would be nothing left to do but die.
But halfway through, Liu Bei, who was asking Cao Cao for orders to conquer him, suddenly came to kill him.
Yuan Shu was defeated and fled in a panic. In the end, he couldn't even drink a glass of honey water. He vomited blood and died in anger. Most of his troops sought refuge with Cao Cao, while a few went north to join Yuan Shao or surrendered to Liu Bei.
As for the three main ministers under his command, namely Ji Ling, Yang Hong and General Yang, they all came to Nanyang and took refuge with Huang Zhong.
Of course, it was Ji Ling who took the initiative to persuade the two of them to achieve such a result.
Furthermore, the clansmen of Yang Hong and General Yang are all in Nanyang County. Now that they have no official status, it would be a good idea to come back and return to their roots. At worst, they can just live in seclusion.
Liu Bei, who defeated Yuan Shu, did not return to Xuchang. Instead, he went to Xiapi and was killed by Chezhou, the new governor of Xuzhou. Then he became the herdsman of Xuzhou again.
But he didn't know that this would anger Cao Cao.
For Nanyang, which had not been affected by any war, it had an opportunity to take off.
With the fifth phase of renovation completed, Nanyang County has completely changed its appearance.
The content of the first phase of transformation is to build roads and re-plan; the purpose is very simple, to facilitate trade and march, while maximizing resource utilization.
The content of the second phase of reform is to cancel the lijin, thereby reducing the load on merchants and improving commercial activities under the rule. By the way, I would like to remind the officials and tell them, 'If you don't learn and make progress, you will be replaced!'
The content of the third phase of transformation is to improve scientific research; Huaxia Academy and the Nanyang County Prefecture cooperated to jointly establish the Nanyang Science and Technology Research Institute. It conducts research on four major topics: agriculture, commerce, politics, and industry.
At the same time, he reported to Liu Bian and proposed the concept of "patent system". The inventor is allowed to enjoy the patent rights of his invention for a certain period of time. If others want to use it, they must purchase the patent from him, otherwise they will be severely punished. Of course, judging from the capabilities of Huaxia Copycat, the copycat
The days when goods and cloned ghosts (such as Robes and Coca-Cola) appear are not far away.
For the researchers of the institute, four levels were proposed: "graduate student", "master's degree", "doctorate" and "academician". Liu Bian personally announced that those who recognized these four professional titles can enjoy salary, in other words, they can be regarded as serious civil servants.
.
It doesn't matter how much salary you have, patents make money, and the status of a civil servant is what researchers urgently need. So a large number of scholars began to change their minds, and these former "miscellaneous students" strived to change their official status.
The Huaxia Academy has even crossed the threshold, with the purpose of borrowing books in this area. Fortunately, the Huaxia Academy and the Nanyang government have reached an agreement, and a large number of printed materials are sold through the Chamber of Commerce, which is convenient for the majority of scholars who want to learn this knowledge.
The content of the fourth phase of renovation can be summed up in eight words: "promoting business, restricting rent, and opening up the market."
The so-called promotion of business means encouraging business, mainly encouraging the establishment of factories to produce goods. For businessmen who are willing to open workshops, Nanyang County can provide preferential policies of tax exemption for three years and half tax for two years. Those who have no money to operate can come to Nanyang.
After explaining your business philosophy and business type to China Merchants Bureau, you can obtain a low-interest business loan after review.
The so-called rent restriction, the general term refers to the restriction of land rent. This aspect infringes on the interests of the landlords a little, but the landlords who agree to reduce the land rent can obtain subsidies from the industrial and commercial sectors, and the government's attitude is quite tough, so the change process
It's quite peaceful.
The few who dared to rebel with arms had their whole families executed for treason, which made everyone feel more at ease.
It is easier to understand to open up the market. In fact, it means sending envoys to negotiate with several neighboring forces.
The content of the negotiation is actually similar to the agreement signed by Cao Cao. It is nothing more than road construction, business, and procurement. For the princes, few people understand the horror of economic war at this moment, so they think that buying is cheaper than building.
, that is, agreed.
Of course, many princes still saw the importance of road rights, so they did not allow people from Nanyang County to build roads. But even though they did not allow it, they actually also discovered the benefits of building roads in this way, so the road rights were quickly used by others.
All the major aristocratic families under his rule were devoured.
But so what? Anyway, it’s better to take advantage of your own people than to take advantage of outsiders?!
The content of the fifth phase of transformation is to strengthen the public health environment.
The Chinese are originally a country of etiquette. Whether it is the streets or sewers, they are all well-organized and well-laid out. Everyone loves cleanliness, at least in the city you will never see any unhygienic behavior.
It cannot be denied that this was related to the political environment at the time.
After all, if you accidentally spit on a dignitary while urinating or spitting, your own head will be in danger, so everyone in the city chooses to be a civilized person rationally.
This phase of renovation is to build some public toilets, public bathrooms and other places on this basis.
The public bathroom charges are very low, which is suitable for businessmen traveling from north to south to clean themselves. There is a canteen opposite the bathroom, and businessmen after taking a bath often go back to have a meal or a glass of wine, which is another source of income. Of course,
Some people go to take a bath after eating and drinking.
Public toilets also adopt a free-of-charge system, and you can enter at any time for convenience. Of course, there will be dedicated people to clean up the waste out of the city in the early morning, and then ferment it and sell it as farm fertilizer. This not only allows the public toilets to continue operating, but also allows some people to
There are more ways to get rich.
After five phases of transformation, Nanyang County has initially approached modern Western countries. The reason why it is not said to be modern China will not be explained in detail.
In the land of China, Nanyang has become a leader. Whether it is economy or agriculture, it has reached the leading rank in the country.
Seeing that Nanyang is so prosperous, many people naturally feel jealous.
Those who are wise choose to follow Nanyang County's footsteps and imitate. Maybe they can achieve a lot in the future, but after all, they are walking behind others and they are destined to fall behind.
Despicable people, such as Cai Mao and the Kuai brothers who are actually in power in Jingzhou, have secretly made preparations to go north to seize this piece of fat.
