Chapter 792 Therapy and a way out
"I will be a hairpin for a lifetime. If I can live in seclusion in the mountains and manage my garden when I am old, it would be a pleasure." Lu Zhi looked at the distance on the Bronze Bird Stage. White clouds and yellow grass, he said nonchalantly.
Shao Xun personally moved two deck chairs and secretly thought that Lu Zhi was really discouraged and was severely hit.
This blow is caused by many reasons, the most direct one being the complaints caused by Du Tian.
Although Shao Xun later limited the scope of his farmland to the twenty counties of Liang State, the negative impact had already occurred.
In addition, the scholars in Hebei are not close enough, and they are full of hesitation in their hearts, and they always feel that they are being suppressed.
For the same position, people from Hebei have never competed with people from Henan. Even if there is no shady background, and they are simply not as talented and knowledgeable as others, the person from Hebei may feel that he is being targeted and feel resentful.
In addition, it is also an objective fact that people from Henan suppress people from Hebei.
This is not a conclusion that can be overturned by citing the presence of officials from Hebei in the court.
The Henan people joined the group early and occupied many key positions and were powerful.
Which of the Wang family, Yang family, and Yu family is not a noble family in Henan?
It is normal for the Hebei system to be suppressed.
In addition, the well-preserved Hebei aristocratic families in the past few years also made Shao Xun quite wary. He also subjectively had the intention to suppress the Hebei people, although the intensity was very light.
To sum up, Lu Zhi, as the only representative of the Hebei system, is under great pressure on the remaining hills.
Due to his personality and low-mindedness, he was very depressed inside.
After Hebei was hit by disasters for three consecutive years, seeing a large number of officials being held accountable, and the reputation of Hebei scholars getting worse, Lu Zhi showed signs of not being able to hold on any longer. If things are generally implemented, he can be considered responsible.
"Why did Zidao have the ambition to live in seclusion?" Shao Xun waved his hand to Huang Zheng to leave, then sat down and asked.
“Don’t you want to see the birds flying among the mulberry trees in Yecheng?” He poured salt and pepper into the boiling water in the stone cauldron and said casually.
“Don’t you want to see golden corn covering the fields of Anyang?”
“Don’t you want to see a giant deer girl playing with her hands and picking lotus flowers?”
"Don't you want to see the young man from Guangping riding the white horse in the west wind, stepping into the fallen flowers?"
"Don't you want to see the Qinghe scholars leisurely wandering in the woods and springs, singing to the moon?"
"Don't you want to Seeing Fan Yang's man galloping through the mountains and returning from shooting vultures?"
After saying these words, Lu Zhi looked fascinated.
"There are so many generous and elegiac people in Yan and Zhao. What does a few years of disaster mean? Are you tired? Are you discouraged? Are you sad for spring and autumn?" The tea in the stone cauldron boiled for the second time. When he got up, Shao Xun calmly scooped out a ladle of water, then took out the ground tea foam from the paper bag and poured it in, stirring slowly.
“Hebei is starving and dying, can it really recover as before?” Lu Zhi asked softly.
"Yes." Shao Xun said with certainty: "Han Guangwu relied on it to achieve great success. If Yuan's sons don't mess around, even one more Cao Cao will not be able to defeat him. Otherwise, I will really think that I am idle. Come to Hebei? Wouldn’t it be nice to come back to Pingyang and enjoy the wine?”
Lu Zhi smiled silently.
The tea in the stone cauldron has boiled for the third time. Shao Xun carefully scooped out the tea foam and poured in the water he just scooped out.
After doing all this, he poured a bowl for Lu Zhi with his own hands, brought it to him, and said: "Without Zi Dao, how could I easily conquer Hebei? Without Zi Dao, how could I enter? Youzhou?”
Lu Zhi blushed a little after hearing this.
He said these words to others in private when he was proud, but he didn't expect that the King of Liang would know about it.
After all, King Liang was not Cao Mengde.
After hearing this, he laughed it off and even made tea for him with his own hands and chatted with him.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi felt that all the grievances he had felt in the past had disappeared.
He did so many things for King Liang, and King Liang remembered them all.
The king of Liang appreciated his affection very much.
The king of Liang respected him very much.
“People in Henan used to have a hard time.” Shao Xun poured himself another bowl of tea, placed it on the table next to the recliner, then lay down comfortably and said, “The most difficult period was when I died of hunger. The fields are covered with bones, and even the mulberry forests are destroyed. I spent all my nights in Xuchang lamenting and feeling extremely sad. But things in this world only depend on people. If you do it with your heart, God will reward you."
"Henan has come out. It is like the granary of the Jin Dynasty, with countless living people. The land in Hebei is more fertile, so what do you have to worry about? One year of floods, two years of floods, it's almost over."
< br>
"A few days ago, I visited Gaoyang, Hejian, Boling and other counties. I collected some wheat in May. One county only needs hundreds of thousands of grains and rice to provide relief. I will not save people who cannot survive. I will save them. You can survive. Maybe many people will starve to death in other places, but the disaster is not much less severe than last year, but there are many fewer people dying."
"Zidao is concerned about Yanzhao. I sent people to push the winter wheat, and I wrote that if the summer harvest can be successful next May, it will be your fault. I will order people to mark your merits. "
No. Qian kept saying good things, and he was full of emotional value. Lu Zhi felt much better after hearing this.
He knows that his life is not long, and at this time, he needs someone to affirm his life more and more.
Shao Xun lay gently, looking at the sunset on the horizon, and said: "Hebei, there will be no chaos."
This is his bottom line. The small chaos in Hebei has become a fact, but it cannot be completely chaotic.
Many people died in porridge shops in Xiangguo, Anping, Bohai and other places. Their existence has eliminated large-scale rebellions.
Deaths are inevitable, but there are indeed fewer deaths this year than last year. This is progress.
Maybe a wave of people will starve to death next spring, but the number will definitely be greatly reduced.
As long as there are no floods, droughts, or locusts next year—it’s difficult to think of locusts after a flood—everything else is fine.
As long as we spend a year safely, these difficult days in Hebei will be over, just like Henan back then.
Lu Zhi couldn’t fall down the night before.
"If I hadn't met the king back then, maybe I would have died in Luoyang." Lu Zhi sighed: "When I was about to be buried, things turned around. Isn't this God's will?"
"If I had died back then, If you didn't meet me, where would you go?" Shao Xun asked curiously.
"Maybe he will go to Jinyang and join Liu Yueshi." Lu Zhi said: "However, Liu Yueshi lacks too much after all. If he is not a successful person, what can I do?"
That is the world line. Stop it, Shao Xun said secretly.
Liu Kun and Zu Ti are equally famous, but upon closer inspection, their abilities are really not at the same level. They are too far apart.
Shi Le and Shi Hu are said to have unified Henan and Hebei, but Henan is actually a mess, and there are too many people who have secret connections with Jiangdong. As long as the army goes on the Northern Expedition, it will definitely win the food and shadow followers. Unfortunately, Zu Ti did not get enough support from Jianye, so the success failed.
Today's Henan is not the Henan under the rule of Hou Zhao. Not many people secretly defected to Jiangdong, and Zu Ti was destined not to reach the heights in history.
The simplest thing is that the wealthy families in Henan under the rule of Hou Zhao will provide Zu Ti with food, grass, equipment, and soldiers, but the Henan under Shao Xun will not. This is the biggest difference, and the people in Jiangdong should also know this.
"What does the king want to do next year?" Lu Zhi sat up, picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and asked.
"The biggest thing is to immigrate to Bingzhou." Shao Xun said: "Zidao, I keep my word. If the wealthy people in Hebei are willing to raise their own food and grass to merge with the state, I will happily give it to the official. I will never Break your promise."
"The king is still preparing to attack Tuoba Xianbei?"
"This is just one of them." Shao Xun said: "In the long run, we still need to educate the barbarians. , Organize households and bring order to the people. Swords and guns can only quell temporary chaos, but Wang Hua is the solution to long-term peace and stability."
In fact, it is a short-term goal and a long-term goal.
The short-term goal is to enrich the Bingzhou household registration, produce supplies, and prepare for the future attack on Daiguo.
The long-term goal is to digest the huge number of Hu people in Bingzhou and turn them into Han people. This must not only start from the military, political, and economic aspects, but also work hard from the cultural aspect.
"Pingyuan Liu family, Hua family, Qinghe Cui family and other wealthy families were not severely affected by the disaster. Why are they crowded in Jizhou?" Shao Xun said: "There are so many children, only a few in one county a year Xiaolian? There are only a few scholars in a state. It is better to move out. It is also beneficial to preserve the family. It doesn't matter if there is a family of poets and calligraphers who are suffering from disasters, as long as they are willing to come to Pingyang, Xihe, etc. in the Luliang Mountains. Taiyuan and Kelan belong to the county, I will find a way for them."
"The Hu chieftains actually admire the aristocratic families, and there are too many people who are trying to flatter them. If you follow the example and follow the example, there will always be results.”
"As long as the world remains unchanged, they will slowly become people in clothes. What they are most afraid of is that the situation changes repeatedly, assimilation is forcibly interrupted, and even barbarians are allowed to climb on top, which will have no effect. The situation I Come and stabilize, it’s up to you to turn Hu into Xia.”
“This will take decades or even hundreds of years,” Lu Zhi said with emotion.
"Success does not belong to me." Shao Xun said nonchalantly: "I have laid a good foundation, and after decades of doing so, I don't believe that this ship can turn around."
< br>Lu Zhi chuckled.
Shao Xun was actually right to ask him to do this.
He just said that if he had not met Shao Xun, he would have gone to Liu Kun, not to Liu Cong, nor to Shi Le, which explains the problem. Lu Zhi was willing to do this well in his heart and was very motivated.
In addition, Shao Xun actually gave Hebei scholars a way out: come to Bingzhou to serve as an official.
Having been hit by disasters for three consecutive years, the Hebei gentry suffered heavy losses, and many of them really could not survive. If they are allowed to stay in Hebei without any care, something might happen.
The simple refugee army is not scary at all. There was no successful refugee army in the Jin Dynasty because the social environment did not allow it and there was no soil for the long-term survival of the refugee army.
But if the refugee army joins forces with the nobles, the threat will be greatly increased. Instead of rushing to suppress them, it would be better to give the Hebei scholars a way out. The policy should be slightly tilted, and more Hebei people should be appointed as officials in Bingzhou, so as to drain the militia of the civilian army and prevent them from causing trouble.
Through economic relief, political appeasement, military suppression, and using his prestige to patrol, Shao Xun was able to eliminate the possibility of large-scale rebellion in Jizhou.
In mid-October, he took more than 10,000 men, women, and children from Hebei Province and captives to Bianliang for food, because he wanted to reduce the loss of food during transportation.
Yin Qiang Zhongying and Yi Congjun were resting on the spot - the former settled in Bianliang and the latter in Liyang, which is very close.
The left battalion of Silver Spear was ordered to be transferred to Pingyang, while the right battalion went to Hedong to replace the left battalion of Heijin.
All the soldiers of the government were dismissed and went home, and each person received two pieces of cloth as a reward.
At this point, the entire northern land came to a standstill.
After the disaster, the people were in distress but also had some hope, hoping that next year they would have a good harvest.
Intensive disasters have put Hebei in a state of collapse, and Henan has also entered the brink of collapse.
How can a child cry every day, and how can he lose every day when betting on dogs!
