Chapter 563: Cutting Sausages
At the end of February, the pastures and farmland of the newly arrived Zhuhu in Guanzhong have been basically allocated.
This matter was mainly handled by Zheng Long, the lieutenant in the shogunate of General Longxiang, and Yang Hui, the governor.
The former is a student of Shao Xun, and the latter is from the Yiyang Yang family - a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and is actually a descendant of Wubao Shuai.
Each tribe divided its territory.
The area with a population of 5,000 in the Juqu Chong tribe was reclassified as Desheng Township.
According to the system established by Shao Xun, one hundred households is a li, five li is a township, four families are neighbors, and four neighbors are protectors. This does not mean that there are only 500 households in a township. In fact, this is the minimum standard. The Juquchong tribe is divided into one township as a whole.
The township has a head, and Juqu Chong is the head of the township. If he performs meritorious service in the future, he can be promoted to the county or even to the shogunate.
The township head also has two assistants. These two positions are filled by two non-level officials sent by the Chenjun government to assist the township head in managing various affairs.
Ten li were established below the countryside, with the leaders of six clans (equivalent to blood clans) as li Zheng, and four new li Zheng were promoted, all of whom were well-known warriors in the tribe.
The following are recommended by him.
In addition, the old fortress of Zhangjiao was given to Juquchong as his office space and a place for drills and training for young men during the off-season.
"Zheng Long, what do you think of this?" Shao Xun asked.
"It's enough. No more is appropriate, but you can try it slowly." Zheng Long replied.
"Cao Mengde only achieved the first step, being appointed as an official." Shao Xun said: "In fact, with his strength back then, he might have been able to go one step further, but he did not dare to do so."
The Huns were divided into five tribes, each of which was managed by officials. The following were autonomous and completely laissez-faire.
But even these five captains were often held concurrently by the Huns themselves.
To put it bluntly, this is called Jisi rule.
Why didn’t Cao Cao create a household system for the people? The reason is unknown. It may be to follow tradition. After all, the Eastern Han Dynasty was also ruled by Ji Su, or it may be to save trouble and use their full strength to deal with foreign enemies.
Cao Cao selected Wuhuan from the three counties as a famous horseman in the world. How much contribution did these people make for him in his conquests? The fighting power should be very strong, and he should be afraid of it.
The Xiongnu were the same, even more difficult to deal with than the Wuhuan.
If Cao Cao was willing to be cruel and fight for an internal rebellion, it was not impossible to do something by force, but he did not choose to do so after all.
Shao Xun is ruthless enough.
He was mentally prepared for the Huns from Guanzhong to rebel again, otherwise he would not have brought the Yinqiang and Yicong troops with him.
I dare to kill you all, do you dare to rebel?
This is a game of whoever blinks first loses. He doesn’t care about your little cavalry and is willing to lose it. The worst he can do is go back and lick Liu Ye. Be nice to her and coax her. What can you do to me? ?
In order to truly control and even assimilate the people, the first step is to create households and integrate the people. Even if the grassroots management positions are still held by their own people, it is the most critical to establish this system.
Many people prefer qualitative changes to quantitative changes. In fact, different levels of quantitative changes have very different impacts.
If the quantitative change is enough, there will be a qualitative change.
This is a long-term undertaking, and impatience is undesirable.
"Do you have any other suggestions?" Shao Xun looked at the student and asked.
Zheng Long once worked in Sanwu, Yiyang, and later served as a county official, then a county magistrate, and then re-conscripted into the shogunate. It can be said that he has many years of experience - he was a young man now, and he is now in his third year.
"If you attack Shile this year, you can mobilize your troops and horses to go out. The commanders of the various departments will be promoted and leave after their meritorious service." Zheng Long suggested.
Shao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "I'm a little impatient. Let's wait two or three years."
"Yes, the student is impatient." Zheng Long said: "We still have to establish the shogunate first. The prestige allows Li Zheng, Baochang and even the warriors to know the shogunate, and they no longer only have eyes for the leader.
It is very dangerous to do everything in one step. Cutting sausages and boiling frogs in warm water is the right way.
Shao Xun did not even take action against the generals of the towns. Instead, he used the Hu people from Guanzhong who had recently come to seek refuge as a pilot project. This was because they were relatively low-spirited and relatively easy to manipulate, so there was not so much resistance to integrating the people into households.
Moreover, although he established a system of household registration and equalization of the people, the officials at all levels were still held by Hu people, and the backlash was relatively small, because it seemed that they were still in charge of themselves.
In fact, even people with some brains like Ju Quchong may not be aware of the problem.
Take your time and let them adapt to the current system and rhythm first. Over time, changes will gradually occur.
Boiling an eagle, taming a horse, taming an ox, and having sex with a woman are all actually the same thing.
"Master Shao, in the future the generals of the towns in Hebei will——" Zheng Long was just about to say it when Ju Qu Chong came with two township assistants, ten lizhengs, and dozens of security chiefs to express his thanks, so he shut up decisively. .
“Here he comes.” Shao Xun turned around, looked at everyone, and then clapped his hands.
The soldiers pulled the carriage over, and the carriage was filled with all kinds of cloth.
From Juquchong on down, everyone’s eyes widened when they looked at these silks.
It’s not their fault.
They had horses to ride on, meat to eat, milk to drink, and furs to wear, but they didn’t necessarily have much silk. To them, this is a considerable fortune.
General Longxiang Shogunate Supervisor Yang Hui came over, saluted Shao Xun first, then looked at the crowd, cleared his throat, and said: "After the pasture turns green, you must prepare your troops and horses. Equipment, go out with the army. In recognition of your hard work, Chen Gong will give you a special reward. Those who are named will come forward to receive the reward."
Juqu Chong was startled.
Shouldn't we give him the silk first and then let him distribute the rewards? This was done from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The clan leaders (Li Zheng) and Baochang (tribal warriors) all turned their attention to Juqu Chong.
Liu Ling quietly took two steps forward and stood behind Shao Xun. More than 900 soldiers wearing bright light armor stood in awe, silently looking at the group of barbarians.
Ju Qu Chong didn’t say anything in the end.
Yang Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the clerk on the side.
"The township chief Juquchong gave forty pieces of silk." the clerk sang.
“Thank you Ming Gong for your kindness.” Juqu fell to the ground in admiration and said loudly.
"Xiang Zuo Shui Qiu Xian, gave me twenty pieces of silk." The clerk sang again.
“Thank you Ming Gong for your kindness.” Shuiqiu Xian responded.
He was born in Chenliu and was a gentry in the Han Dynasty, but now he has become a rich man. Chen Gong promoted him and asked him to assist Hu Shuai in managing the villagers. It was actually a rare opportunity. He had no dissatisfaction, so he accepted the offer simply.
"Xiang Zuo Cai Ze..."
"There is a lot of iron in the house, and I will give you ten pieces of silk..."
After the little official finished singing the names one by one, he counted the names. One hundred pieces of silk have been distributed.
"Thank you Ming Gong for your kindness." Everyone collectively fell to the ground and shouted.
Shao Xun did not speak, but walked past everyone one by one with his hands behind his back.
He walked very slowly, sometimes stopping for a short while, especially in front of Ju Qu Chong.
Ju Qu Chong almost put his forehead to the ground, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Some of Zhuli Zheng and the security chiefs secretly glanced at Ju Qu Chong, while others secretly glanced at Shao Xun, thoughtfully in their hearts.
Every time Shao Xun walked in front of someone, that person would follow Ju Qu Chong's example and lower his head into the dust.
Now they have a more intuitive impression: compared with Ju Quchong, the great minister, Chen Gong is bigger.
Moreover, the rewards everyone received were also issued by Chen Gong, not by Ju Qu Chong, the minister, or even by him bargaining with the shogunate.
The principle of "grace comes from the highest" is universal no matter in ancient or modern times, both at home and abroad.
In their past lives, there was no figure of Mr. Chen. Now it exists, and it has seeped into every aspect of their lives.
This is just the beginning, the beginning of the fight for influence, and the days to come are still long.
"Get up." Shao Xun said.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and stood up one after another.
"When the pastures turn green, everything is busy. You can go on your own and work hard. Those who have made merit will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. There are rules for this, so let's go." Shao Xun said again. .
"Yes." Everyone responded one after another, and then dispersed like birds and beasts.
Liu Ling followed closely behind Shao Xun, admiring him endlessly.
Mr. Chen didn't say anything. He relied on the power of silence to make the crowd anxious and trembling. Such a profound impression may not be forgotten for a long time.
Zhang Bin was also observing silently.
Chen Gong has so many ways to control the barbarians.
I can eat "desirable dishes" with you.
Can hunt with you.
I can talk, laugh and drink with you.
But he also has a majestic side and has established a system.
The system is like a ring on a cow's nose. It was hard to get used to at first, making you feel uncomfortable and even lose your temper. But after you get used to it, it doesn't seem so unacceptable anymore.
This is a step further than the governance of the Hu people by Cao Wei and Guochao.
Since the Later Han Dynasty, the Hu people have basically been "wild" horses, but now they will become stable horses.
He was very interested and wanted to see how it worked.
Zhang Bin also thought of Shi Le. In this regard, he could only sigh slightly.
There are differences between people after all.
Shi Le is even busier than Chen Gong on weekdays. He lives a simple life, is not close to women, is high-spirited and motivated, and is indomitable.
Although Mr. Chen’s life is not luxurious, it is definitely not simple, and he likes to play with women. But compared to military strategy and means, it is superior.
Of course, the biggest difference between the two is their vision.
Mr. Chen's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the fog of history and get to the essence. This is the biggest difference between the two.
Win or lose.
......
From the end of February until the end of March, Shao Xun has been wandering around Zhao County. It took more than a month to roughly settle Jianghu in Guanzhong and set the rules.
Next, there is the tedious and meticulous water grinding work, and he will no longer participate in it personally.
On the third day of April, he led his army back to Yecheng to see off the army heading south to Xuzhou.
