Chapter 762 Changes (Additional updates for the alliance leader’s favorite Eternal Seraph)
A huge hand-drawn map was hung on the wall.
Zuo Min Cao Shangshu Zaosong took the yellow book handed over by his assistant and reported in person: "Pingyang County has resettled more than 7,000 people, including 41 households in Qingyang Liyang Village, Yongji Township, Lan Thirty-eight households in the village..."
"These villages are still there?" Shao Xun turned around and asked.
"The houses are still there, but they all have owners. During times of peace, they are scattered in various villages farming and herding, and during times of police, they move into the manor to live together."
"Have the owners of the manor been punished?"< br>
"Each one has his or her own punishment."
"Pingyang is a place that can compete with Chen Liuyou. It's really not easy to dig a little bit." Shao Xun turned around again and said: " Continue.”
“More than 2,000 people have been resettled in Xiangling County. It is the residence of Liu Yi, the puppet Han king. It was originally used to house the army in the field. Now it has been distributed. The plan is...”
< br>"Yang County has resettled more than 4,000 people..."
After the lengthy report, Shao Xun came back to his senses and said: "In other words, Pingyang County has more than 20,000 people distributed throughout the counties. Hedong County has more than 14,000 people, of which Dayang County accounts for more than 14,000 people. Half. The remaining five thousand people will move to Xihe County years later?"
"Yes." Zaosong replied: "There is the mansion and ranch of King Gaoping of the Puppet Han Dynasty."
< br>“Is it enough?”
“There is also the Wang family’s Zhuangzhai area over there in Jiexiu. The king has newly established Shilou and Fangshan counties, and there may be wasteland that can be cultivated.”
< br>"No." Shao Xun turned around and looked at Zaosong and said: "The wasteland of Shilou and Fangshan was cultivated by the Huns. Anyway, their migration is uncertain, and there are still people who have not come to pay homage. We can ask for it." The one given to Wan Shengjun Erlang must be Rehmannia."
Zao Song responded yes.
Hearing this, Wang Yan, the commander of the Zuo Army, immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will go to Xihe next spring and I will definitely get this matter done."
Shao Xun smiled and asked : "Won't Yifu return to Luoyang?"
"There is nothing going on in Luoyang, but the placement of Wan Shengjun is more important." Wang Yan said: "To be honest with you, the king, Luoyang is now in ruins, and there is not much to live in." It means that the spices are no longer available. The merchants are very smart. They used to go to Bianliang and now come to Pingyang."
Shao Xun couldn't help but smile.
Businessmen know best where to do business. In the past year, many people were tired of traveling between Bianliang and Pingyang, so they requested to stay in Pingyang temporarily, and finally they agreed one after another.
Shao Xun doesn’t want to trick them.
In the next two years, there will probably be no major construction in Bianliang City. There will basically be only small-scale construction activities, mainly trench digging and dredging. It is unlikely that manpower and material resources will be used to build cities and palaces.
The political center has slowly shifted to Binh Duong.
Insufficient financial resources, this is all we can do.
The Turtle’s fifth year (321) does not know how to fight, cannot afford to fight, and does not have that ability.
"I heard that the harvest in Kansai was good last year?" Shao Xun looked at the map again, drew his finger west of the Yellow River, and asked.
“There is enough rain in Guanxi, but there is no disaster.” Zao Song sighed: “It has been two years in a row.”
In fact, in the second half of the year, there were bandits coming out of Pu Banjindongcheng, harassing Hedong, and repelling the Yinqian right camp from Lishi south, is an example of this.
Now the Yinqiang right battalion has returned to Bianliang for rest and recuperation, and has been replaced by the Heijin left battalion, which has been resting for half a year. Considering the alignment of the Hedong clan, the Huns had no chance on this side.
The Yinqiang left camp has also gone back to rest and recuperate, in exchange for the Yinqiang middle camp who stayed in Bianliang and stationed in Pingyang.
So far, the troops stationed in Pingyang and Hedong counties mainly include 12,000 soldiers from the Heijian left camp and the Yinqiang middle camp, plus the imperial army, mule army, government soldiers and other miscellaneous soldiers. Forty thousand people, totaling fifty-two thousand.
If Liu Can wanted to attack, he would have to bring over the approximately 17,000 forbidden soldiers he had in order to have any chance of winning.
But if these 17,000 elite soldiers are handed over, Kansai will definitely not be able to defend it. It seems that he does not dare to gamble.
Now that there are 40,000 yellow-headed troops, apart from anything else, the miscellaneous soldiers from various tribes who serve as auxiliary troops are no longer needed. At most, they need some tribal light cavalry.
Next year’s military focus will be on training the Yellow Head Army. If you have the chance, harass Hexi, rush in and out quickly, and give the Huns a little surprise.
The economy is mainly based on farming, animal husbandry and savings.
Last year's war and this year's floods consumed a lot of money. The manor of aristocratic families is not an unlimited cash machine. In fact, they have been squeezed out to the best of their ability. If they continue to do so, they will really rebel.
Politically, the main task is to clarify the official system.
The ninth and eighteenth levels have been discussed for a year, and the complete plan has been released and is ready for trial operation.
This is a very sensitive matter. A few old men are fighting overtly and covertly, and they almost have to break up in person.
Shao Xun is now the arbiter. He seems to be aloof, but he cannot operate blindly.
As for diplomacy, there is actually no diplomacy.
Last year, there were floods in some areas in Jiangdong. Many people starved to death in Jianye and they were unable to go north. Even if Wang Dun and others insist on going their own way, they will be held back.
Wang Chuzhong did not ignore Jianye's ability, and he was not a fool.
If Henan is a mess, maybe you can give it a try. Now that Henan is unified, which idiot would do such an idiotic thing of being attacked from both sides?
"Midsummer is so difficult, we have to work together." Shao Xun stopped looking at the map and said, "That's it, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's not talk about these disappointing things."
What he needs most now It's time.
It’s not that he doesn’t have enough time, but that his changes in society require time to settle and accumulate.
If you can’t see results in one or two years, you have to extend the time span to 20, 30, 30 or 40 years before you can see some clues.
******
As the snow falls silently, another new year has arrived. When he conquered Pingyang the year before last, the emperor of Luoyang did not announce the change of Yuan Dynasty, as he seemed to have lost his spirit. Therefore, this year is the fifth year of the Divine Turtle (321) - changing Yuan Dynasty is one of the few powers that Sima Chi has.
The Lu surname will be officially implemented in the new year.
The Lu surname is also divided into levels, but it is relatively rough, with only four levels: A, B, C, and D.
Originally, Wang Yan suggested creating another "sub" level, that is, sub-A, sub-B, etc., but this was rejected and will not be done for the time being.
There are many supporting measures to assess the family status of Lu surnames, the most important of which is to change the surname to Han.
In fact, the Central Plains aristocratic family attaches great importance to this. Even if they really want to marry, they "hate the repetition of their names", and everything will be ruined in the end.
Historically, the Northern Wei Dynasty faced such a situation, and the final result was that the Hu people compromised.
For example, the Bu Liugu family was changed to the Lu family, the Wanniu Yu family was changed to the Yu family, the Qiu Dun family was changed to the Qiu family, the Hu Gukou Yin family was changed to the Hou family, and the Luo Ba family was changed to the Luo family. Wait - but some two-character surnames have not been changed, because there are also two-character surnames in Chinese surnames.
It was not that troublesome at this time. Because the Huns had entered the Central Plains for many years, many people had consciously changed their surnames.
To put it in layman's terms, the Xiongnu nobles belong to the old money, not comparable to the upstarts like Tuoba Wei.
The first critic determined that Shangdang Liu and Beiping Duan were named "A".
Kelan Liu and Guangning Su are named "B".
Pingyang Liu, Pingyang Huyan, and Xihe Qiao are named "Bing".
As for Hedong Dong, Pingyang Lan, Xihe Wang and others, they have the surname "Ding".
When selecting officials, the fourth-class surnames were demoted three levels for appointment. That is, the highest-ranking Shangdang Liu and Beiping Duan are equivalent to the fourth-class nobles among the Han surnames. Considering that when officially conferring officials, regardless of Hu or Han All members of the family were demoted and appointed, so Shangdang Liu and Beiping Duan could only start as minor officials of seventh or eighth rank.
But in any case, this is already a zero breakthrough, which is very rare.
Therefore, Liu Runzhong, the governor of Shangdang, couldn't help being happy after hearing the news. He came to Pingyang to congratulate him personally. He also held a banquet in the mansion that night and invited several familiar scholars to have a drink together, which was lively all night long. Incessantly.
Wen Qiao also went, and the next day he staggered to visit his old boss Wang Yan.
"Who was present yesterday?" Wang Yan asked his servants to make sobering soup, then sat opposite Wen Qiao and asked.
"Most of them are scholars with the surname of Lu, or the old tribe of Bingzhou." Wen Qiao said with a slight headache and groaned.
"You look lazy." Wang Yan laughed and scolded: "How is its scenery?"
At this point, Wen Qiao sobered up a little and said: "Liu, Qiao, Hu Yan Among the Xiongnu surnames, their descendants often have impressive literary talents, and many of them have romantic titles, which surprised me."
"Oh? How impressive is that?" Wang Yan asked.
Wen Qiao frowned and thought hard, as if it was difficult to judge, so he could only say: "More like a scholar than King Liang."
Wang Yan clapped his hands and laughed.
"I think so too." After laughing, Wang Yan shook his head.
Yesterday, there was a lot of excitement in Ningshuo Palace for congratulations on the first day of the first day. A nobleman of the Huyan clan of the Huns actually wrote a poem, which shocked the scene.
Yesterday was also the first time that a scholar with the surname Lu was invited to attend the imperial congratulations, which had a strong political meaning.
"Shangdang Liu family is not very good." Wen Qiao added: "Although the deer tail from his family is very delicious, I still have to say that his family's foundation is too poor and he is not very popular."
"What a pity!" Wang Yan suddenly sighed: "The King of Liang attaches great importance to practical matters and not to romance, so what can I do? The Liu family of Shangdang can at least gallop, and the situation will not be much worse. But if Liu Runzhong knew the opportunity , be a good student and raise your grandchildren, pay attention to poetry and books, and know etiquette, so that you can be accepted by the Guan clan."
As for why you don't raise a son, it's because it's too late! All of them are rough-and-tumble men, stereotyped and wasted effort.
"Hey, Liu Runzhong was planning a marriage between his children last night. Although his words were cryptic, everyone here could hear them." Wen Qiao said again.
Wang Yan chuckled lightly and said: "Maybe there are some poor people who like them."
"There are indeed!" Wen Qiao said with a smile: "The family status is not low. A member of the Dusun family."
"Oh? That's really shameless." Wang Yan said in surprise.
The Sun family of Zhongdu in Taiyuan was relatively famous during the Cao Wei Dynasty. Sun Zi once served as a hussar general and a minister, but he was not very good in this dynasty and suffered a serious decline.
During the Yongjia Rebellion, a large part of the tribe went south to build Ye. The children who stayed in Taiyuan suffered heavy losses and were almost unable to maintain their families.
Shangdang Liu Naihu, whose surname is A, has many members, including Liu Runzhong, Liu Hezhu, Liu Da, Liu Quan, Liu Zhao and others who have made many military exploits. The family is obviously on the way up, and it is worth building connections.
Especially now that they obviously have low self-esteem and are easy to make mistakes, as long as they don't care about reputation, the benefits of marrying them are very great.
Zhongdu Sun seems to be willing to risk everything.
"Liu Runzhong's three sons have all married the daughters of tribal chiefs. This time they plan to marry a legitimate daughter to a descendant of the Sun family. From now on, the Shangdang Liu and Taiyuan Sun clans will be in-laws." Wen Qiao said.
Wang Yan was silent.
It is impossible for him to lower his face and make friends with the Liu family of Shangdang.
This kind of family with a strong sense of martial arts has a low status, let alone a barbarian.
The pride of the nobles should not be lost.
To put it bluntly, even if King Liang has reached this point, Wang Jingfeng and Wang Huifeng are still widows, and King Liang is not worthy of marrying them, let alone becoming his wife - the lady said it nicely, isn't it just Xiao Concubine?
It's just that - alas, he knelt down softly after all.
"Liu Runzhong just started." Wang Yan sighed: "The world is in chaos, how many scholars' families are ruined? There are so many people who are eager to revive their families. People are forced to be anxious, what can't be done? In the future, with There will be more and more people marrying high-ranking families, and this is an unstoppable trend. I don’t know what this world will become.”
