Chapter 881 Li Zhen
Starting from May 20th, scholars from various states left one after another.
Liu Chou, the governor of Jizhou, went to Jingxing Pass to greet him.
For no other reason than I am afraid that someone will be confused and confused, so I am ready to check it out again to avoid being caught off guard.
Most of the governors in other states behaved this way.
Shao Xun continued to stay in Jinyang to handle official duties.
Yinqiang Right Camp returned to Bianliang to rest and recuperate. After the middle camp arrives in Jinyang, the left camp will also go into rest.
The Yellow Head Army was sent home in batches to do farm work, and one person received two pieces of linen as a reward.
The rest of the armies left one after another.
Currently, the only ones remaining in Jinyang are Zuoying, Qinjun and more than two thousand flying cavalry officers.
On the 21st, Liu Han sent his troops out of Pujing Pass again and defeated the troops of the wealthy people in Hedong. When Heijin Zuoying and the Luoyan Army arrived, they withdrew back with the looted materials.
In the direction of Nanyang, Le Kai, the governor of Mianbei, defeated thousands of Wu soldiers in Xinye.
After the summer sowing is over, he will gather tens of thousands of troops and try to besiege Xiangyang.
Zu Ti and Li Chong fought repeatedly along the Huai River.
Generally speaking, Li Chong was relatively passive because he did not want to fight to the other side of the river, which made him very passive.
After the floods rose in April, Xiapi City was even besieged by Jiangdong's navy again and fell in early May.
Yu Liang was furious and proposed to send all the Dingzhuang troops in Xuzhou to recover Xiapi, but Li Chong had no objection.
There were also small-scale wars in Qiao, Pei, Ruyin, and Runan.
Sometimes the county guards sent generals to sneak across and plunder Yiyang, Anfeng, Huainan and other counties, and sometimes they faced plunder from the other side.
Many years of plundering each other have made the people on both sides of the Huai River unbearable. The counties and villages are sparsely populated and the fields are desolate.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the counties in Huaibei may have been repeatedly invaded and were in great danger, but in Shao Xun's eyes, the counties along the Huaihe River resisted effectively, so that the Wu people were more than capable of invading but not aggressive enough.
He is more concerned about the north.
The soldiers who captured the students were stationed in the Yin Pavilion. From time to time they would come out from Mayi to look for the enemy's pastures and make surprise attacks.
They failed several times, but they were all semi-professional warriors with one person and three horses. They didn't need to worry about farming, they just did their work. Therefore, they retreated in time with relatively small losses. They also succeeded once and captured and killed nearly ten thousand people. .
Part of the Yi Congjun went north to Dongmugen Mountain, but has made no achievements so far.
A group of troops stationed in Zhoucheng did not achieve much. When they went out to harass someone, they encountered a rope head coming to harass them on the way, which was regarded as a meritorious service.
One group was stationed in Xuanhongchi, and kept going north to beg for help in Yuanchi area, harassing the tribes who had taken refuge in Yihuai.
Spring is a critical moment when lambs and calves are born, old grass is dying and new grass is not yet growing. Being hit like this once, the loss is really heavy.
Now Helan Aitou has only two choices: 1. Withdraw to the west or north and break away from contact; 2. Raise a large army to attack Pingcheng and seize the base for the Yi Cong Army and the Capture Army.
He is running out of time and must make a decision as soon as possible.
"Is this year's harvest acceptable?" At this time, he had arrived at Longxiang Mansion in Shiling, north of Jinyang, and asked as he looked at the wheat fields that had just been harvested.
"It's better than the year before last. I received about three dendrobiums per acre." Shao Guang, the prefect, replied.
Three dendrobiums are almost 100 kilograms. The yield per mu is very high and has reached the level of the Sui and Tang Dynasties - one mu in the Tang Dynasty was not much different from that in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, about 0.8 mu in later generations, which is divided into upper and middle The combined yield of the lower three types of fields is about one hu of Dendrobium per mu (one Dendrobium tangien = three Dendrobium tangiensis).
“Unknowingly, it has been several years.” Shao Xun said with emotion: “Next year, the twenty counties of Liang State will determine the new tax system. The Fubing family will be exempted from taxes and service, but the troops will not be exempted. As for the tax rate of thirty Whether the tax is 50 acres or 50 acres is to be determined."
"Yes." Shao Guang responded, then raised his head and said, "The king has been working hard for twenty years, and he can finally collect taxes."
< br>
Shao Xun laughed dumbly.
Things are so ridiculous!
It is a natural thing for the state to collect taxes, but it actually took twenty years of hard work to implement it in some areas. And in his lifetime, he may not be able to implement it nationwide.
In order to transform the world, he first had to fight for twenty years to smooth out the huge disadvantages of his birth, gain supreme prestige, and force others to obey orders.
After twenty years of hard work, he gradually gained the power that a normal dynasty emperor would naturally have as soon as he ascended the throne, and this power was still at a discount, which made people angry.
But looking on the bright side, he also has huge prestige and a basic foundation that Shouchengjun does not have.
"Zhengchen, you are looking more and more like a scholar in your appearance." Shao Xun took a few steps forward, looked at the emerging prefect Liu Quan who had not yet left, and said with a smile.
"The king said, 'Yi and Xia are both safe', I thought about it, this world is still summer after all. If you don't want to be regarded as an alien, you still have to change your customs." Liu Quan said: "The children in the family have already done their best. Duan Huyin invited famous teachers to teach them the classics. I taught them martial arts and military strategy. "
"What book did you read?" Shao Xun asked.
"Zuo Zhuan."
"Do you understand?"
"It's always good to read."
"Have you read anything?"
"Have you read "Dong Guan Han Ji" "Liu Quan said: "The great king's military strategy is very convincing. I might recommend a few books."
Shao Xun waved and asked his eldest son Jin Dao to come over and said, "What books are you reading? ”
Jin Dao was a little confused, but still replied: "Shang Jun Shu, Guan Zi, and Salt and Iron Theory."
Liu Quan was a little surprised. Do all the sons of Prince Liang read these books?
"My ministers can just read "Dongguan Han Ji" without modifying it." Shao Xun laughed and patted Liu Quan on the shoulder.
He did not say the second half of the sentence. But the king cannot just read history books, that is suicidal.
"How about the emerging counties?" Shao Xun asked again.
"The population is sparsely populated. Except for the tens of thousands of our troops, there are only government soldiers and very few people living in the countryside."
"Has the Di Pavilion been repaired?"
"It has been repaired. It is south of Xinkou. "
"I want to map the north, but Xinxing and Yanmen are empty, and the resources are no longer available." Shao Xun said: "In the past few years, I have been working hard to manage Bingzhou, and today I have seen something from Taiyuan. The weather, Xinxing and Yanmen still need to be rectified. "Yes," Liu Quan responded.
“In July and August, select the best cavalry to go north to wait for the enemy in the clouds.”
"Follow your orders."
After Shao Xun gave this order, he thought about it and then asked: "During the discussion, do the chiefs have any ideas?"
"As far as I know , They are low-spirited, not even as good as a martial artist." Liu Quan seemed not to know how to describe it, and after a while he said: "I am flattered and overjoyed to be able to participate in the discussion."
"Hedong. King Dong Wuyan is a man of great courage and love for people, unmatched by the saints of the past dynasties.”
“Kelan Qiaotan said that ‘Yi and Xia are all at peace’, and they also have a share in this world, and the Emperor of Jin is far away. It’s not as good as it is. For the sake of the family, I should support the king as the emperor.”
"And..."
"What do you think?" Shao Xun asked.
Liu Quan was stunned and said: "Without the king, I would be nothing more than a miscellaneous Hu Er. How could I be here today? I would like to ask the king to ascend the throne and become the emperor. If so, everyone will be willing to die."< br>
"Then you have to work harder and defeat the Huns for me first." Shao Xun said with a smile.
After careful evaluation, the Hu people and the Wu people had an interest appeal, and they all hoped that he would quickly ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so that they could feel safe and realize the benefits they received.
But it was the scholars who controlled most of the world's resources, and their attitudes were more divided.
However, now that it’s time, it doesn’t mean that we can’t do it by force.
After all, the emperor does not need you to come up with any ideas for governing the country. The basic version or the beggars version does not need this. The general trend is enough to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor.
As for whether the centripetal force is strong and whether the cohesion is sufficient, that is another matter. But Shao Xun didn't want to be so reluctant.
"Read more books, you are still young." Shao Xun said: "You can read "Zuo Zhuan", "Salt and Iron Theory", and "Guanzi"."
Liu Quan was stunned.
"I am just teasing you." Shao Xun laughed: "If you study well, I can promote you. I just want people to see that as long as you have real talent and practical knowledge, you can be a foreigner. Be a high official."
"Yes," Liu Quan responded.
He vaguely felt that an opportunity had come.
This opportunity belongs to him alone, not to anyone else.
******
Liu Quan left quickly.
Shao Xun sent his son away again and quietly came to the woods at the foot of the mountain.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Chang, the prefect of Yunzhong in the Dai Kingdom, jumped out. As soon as he shouted, several knives were placed on his neck.
Shao Xun waved his hand, and the soldiers put away their swords and retreated.
Wang Chang took a few steps forward timidly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I just received a letter from Changchun Palace yesterday, saying that I will give birth to a son."
Shao Xun was overjoyed when he heard this.
Half a year has passed, and he misses Wang's little appearance.
At first I didn’t want to give him a child, but is this acceptable to you?
"Is there any discussion in the country?" he asked.
"Even if there are discussions, it only happened after the winter started last year." Wang Chang said with a wry smile: "By this time, the dissatisfied people have left, and only those who have surrendered are left."
"The dissatisfied people have left." Where is the main place? "
"Dongmugen Mountain area"
"Is there any rebellion?"
"There has never been one.
"That's good." Shao Xun nodded and asked, "Have you ever given me a name for my son?"
Wang Chang's expression changed.
Your Majesty, we are all pretending to be confused. You are making it very difficult for us!
“Ke Dun named him ‘Tuoba Lizhen’.” Wang Chang said cautiously.
“Nonsense!” Shao Xun said displeased: “What is Li Zhen?”
"Your Majesty, please take a look at this." Wang Chang took out a jade pendant and presented it respectfully.
Shao Xun took it and saw that the jade was of average quality, but it had the word "Shao Zhen" engraved on it, and he immediately turned from anger to joy.
If you think about it carefully, you have to blame yourself for this.
Who makes you always like to let other people’s wives give birth to your children?
"In the future..." Shao Xun said halfway, but he didn't want to say any more and asked another thing: "You are here in Jinyang Lundao, do you have anything to think about?"
"The king's ambition has never been seen in ancient times. On behalf of the public, he is willing to respect the king as the emperor of the Central Plains." Wang Chang said.
"I heard that the Tuoba family usually passes the throne between brothers." Shao Xun said thoughtfully.
"No, Your Majesty!" Wang Chang knelt down directly and said with a bitter look on his face: "This is definitely not feasible."
Shao Xun looked at him quietly.
Wang Chang swallowed and said, "Not now."
"What are the obstacles?" Shao Xun asked.
"There are many obstacles." Wang Chang smiled bitterly and said: "If the king can raise troops to attack Helan Aitou, maybe he can give it a try."
Shao Xun smiled and pulled Wang Chang up. , said: "That's all, let's talk about this later. Bring me a letter back and tell Mrs. Tai that Helan Aitou may raise troops in August, so don't be unprepared."
"Yes." Wang Changying road.
"Helan Aitou, I will attack it sooner or later. It's about to happen. Don't be impatient." Shao Xun left the grove and ordered his troops to fight.
