Yesterday's change has been made, today is the last day, and we will set off back tomorrow morning.
Although they had previous experience, swallowing nearly 10,000 people in more than ten days was a huge challenge for the Daizhou and Xinzhou officials. What's more, in this era, the configuration of officials and staff at all levels of government was far less than that of the Ming Dynasty. It was so clear in the Qing Dynasty.
Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a saying that imperial power did not go to the countryside. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when it was customary to use aristocratic families to rule places, sometimes the imperial power might not even be able to leave the county.
Of course, Daizhou is different.
There were only a few aristocratic families, and the few wealthy families moved south one after another because Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang led the Turks to invade. Since Li Shan took office, he has shown kindness several times, and then used thunderous methods to deal with the local powerful people very well. As a result, the orders of the modern state governor can be implemented to the greatest extent.
Li Shan didn't ask for much. First, he had to let the people who moved to Daizhou and Xinzhou survive. If they couldn't take care of their own food and accommodation, the local governments at all levels would have to bear the responsibility. For this reason, Li Shan sent out all the guards around him and conducted secret inspections. ... The magistrate of Guo County, who had just taken office for two months, was scolded by Li Shan in public because of his improper handling of affairs, which led to civil unrest, killing 19 people and injuring hundreds.
Li Shan didn't expect his officials to be so obedient, but to allow these relocated people to survive... He felt that this condition was not high, and the food was all allocated from military rations.
The Nao county magistrate...unfortunately, Qiguai Baguai is somewhat related to Li Shimin's concubine Yan. After calculation, among the general officials who went north to take office, Li Shan basically reprimanded them from the lineage of the King of Qin. Zhang Gongjin went to Xinzhou's general manager Fang Renyu, and from general Duan Zhixuan to the Nao County magistrate.
Li Shan was also speechless, and asked Li Shan to write a letter to Yang Siyi in private. Li Shimin's concubine, Yan, was the niece of Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren. He also asked his bodyguard to bring the message back, and asked Li Shimin to take the trouble to pick a few who could. Used... Historically, you ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty a few years later. There can't be no one who can use it, right?
The second is Juntun. In fact, it is not just Juntun. Li Shan started setting up a school to teach arithmetic as early as last year. At the end of last year, he began to count the acres in Daizhou. A few months ago, Zhang Gongjin officially took over. Many people moved here this time. It is almost the end of February and the beginning of March when the land is granted. Although it is a little late, if we rush to plant a wave, we can harvest in the autumn... After all, tax exemption is what Li Shan promised a long time ago. Without paying tax, the grain will be enough for his family. People live hand to mouth.
In fact, Li Shan was not the first to intend to march to the camp, as some people imagined... He opened up trade routes and attracted people, so there must be a shortage of food in Daizhou.
Therefore, Li Shancai successively created Yuhuchun and Ma Yin, which are basically linked to grain. You must know that the granary near Xia City is not officially a public warehouse of the imperial court, and the grain in it is rarely allocated to other countries. But this time I had to dial it out.
It seems that Daizhou is not short of food now, but sooner or later it will be short of food, not to mention that Li Shan has long made up his mind to replenish the population... So the first thing after surviving is to cultivate the land, whether it is to grant land or to Military camp.
There are quite a lot of problems here, not enough cattle, not enough farm tools, not enough seeds... Zhang Gongjin's hair has turned gray. Li Shan sent people to various prefectures in Hedong to buy. If they couldn't buy it, they would borrow it, and if they couldn't borrow it, they would rent it.
In this situation, almost all the subordinate officials were very busy, and Li Shan from behind almost drove them forward with a whip.
But among all the officials, big and small, there is only one person who has nothing to do. Zhang Shigui, the official of Zuowu Wei Zhonglang General, has not been officially awarded the title so far.
In a house in Wutai County, Zhang Shigui looked quite calm. In fact, he didn't have much time to spare. He knew how busy Daizhou and Xinzhou were now.
The most important thing is that although Zhang Shigui didn't know what the important task Li Shan had given him, he vaguely sensed that he probably wasn't ready yet.
Footsteps sounded outside, and Zhang Gongjin, who was sweating profusely, strode in, repeatedly asked the servant to bring him cold water, and drank two bowls of water before sitting down.
"Have you been reprimanded by the King of Handan again?" Zhang Shigui asked casually. Their subordinates in the Tiance Mansion always had only one direction for His Highness.
"There are five to six thousand people in the military camp alone, not including family members, how can we not make mistakes." Although Zhang Gongjin has a cautious temperament, he can't help complaining, "The King of Handan today... forget it, what he said is reasonable, but That guy Xue Wanche is provocative today!"
"What is he here for?"
"It seems something happened in the army." Zhang Gongjin responded casually, "Brother Wu An went to Guo County a few days ago. Where is Sima?"
"It's not bad." Zhang Shigui nodded and said, "I met Er Zhu Zhonggui in Puzhou back then. He has a humble temperament and meticulous handling. He doesn't need any help in cooking Zichong Mansion."
In the second year of Wude, Zhang Shigui followed Li Shimin across Longmen into Hedong and met Zhu Yichen in Puzhou... Coincidentally, his most dazzling achievement in that battle was to defeat He Xiaodong who tried to counterattack.
He Xiaodong was defeated and fled north, and the remaining troops withered. Yuan Junzhang, who did not follow Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang into Hedong, came to power...
Hearing his colleagues mention Er Zhu Yichen, Zhang Gongjin nodded in agreement. They were both subordinate officials second only to the general manager of Daizhou. Acting governor Shi Lishan was the actual person in charge. He, the chief of Daizhou Bijiajia, was in charge of the army and the army, while the Sima of Daizhou at the same level was Er Zhu Yichen hardly saw any action. Now he leads a small group of soldiers to garrison in Nao County and is in charge of Zhechong Prefecture. ,
Although it is said that the young people who moved to Daizhou and Xinzhou were nominally soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture, in fact, because the prefectures were often invaded in these years, they always used standing armies to guard the border. If the war was fierce or it was difficult to resist the Turks, the DPRK would He will transfer troops from the Hedong Province to the north... This is why Li Yuan set up the Bingzhou General Manager and the Daizhou General Manager in the southeast and north of Henan.
Generally speaking, among the generals who went north to take up posts, except for the second batch of Zhang Shigui who had not yet been commissioned, Er Zhu Yichen had the least real power... But today Zhang Shigui looked carefully and it seemed that the Sima of Daizhou had no dissatisfaction. .
The two chatted for a few words, and suddenly there was a sound outside, and the bodyguard came inside to report, "The King of Handan has summoned me."
Zhang Gongjin stood up and groaned helplessly, "Where is it again..."
The guard reminded: "There is also General Zhonglang."
"And me?" Zhang Shigui was a little surprised. Li Shan has been traveling back and forth between Dai County, Wutai County, and Nao County these days, but he has not summoned him yet.
In fact, Li Shan did not enter Wutai County, but rested in a village in Juntun. He sat on a tree stump at the entrance of the village. His lowered right hand unconsciously touched the marks of knife and axe... Obviously, this was not long ago. It was cut off just before.
It is estimated that the people who moved here cut down the pieces to build houses. Although the brick factory has been expanded again and again, and the output and quality have been greatly improved, Li Shan controlled the sales volume as early as the beginning of the year. Most of the people who moved later can't enjoy brick houses...but given today's climate, there won't be any big problems within half a year.
It was just a pity. Li Shan lowered his head and took a few glances, seeing that the growth rings might be hundreds of years old... In future generations, they would have to be circled.
"Don't drive, the lieutenant is coming."
Wang Junhao's reminder came to his ears. Li Shan turned around and caught a glimpse of Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Shigui. He nodded and said, "Let Xue Wanche and Chang He come over."
"Meet the King of Handan."
"Meet the King of Handan."
Li Shan smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, and was as friendly to Zhang Shigui as ever, but he was thinking in his heart that this guy was a little impatient... But he couldn't make the decision alone in this matter, but it was coming soon.
Logically speaking, Zhang Shigui was the commander of the Tiance Mansion before, and this time he went to Daizhou as Zuowuwei Zhonglang General, so he should join the army... But before, Duan Zhixuan could join the army as the deputy general manager of the cavalry, but Zhang Shigui could not.
Zhang Shigui has a lot of seniority and has been on his own several times. His official title is not lower than that of Su Dingfang, and he also has the title of Founding County Duke... At the critical moment, Su Dingfang may not be his opponent.
Obviously, Li Shan would not allow the military power of the Daizhou Army to fall by the wayside, so after leaving Yanmen Pass a few days ago, Zhang Shigui followed Li Shan around Dai County and then decided to go south and settle in Wutai County... because Su Dingfang was the garrison. Dai County.
This shows Zhang Shigui's sincerity... he has absolutely no intention of fighting.
But Li Shan had no arrangements since then, and Zhang Shigui couldn't help but be impatient. He suddenly set off for Nao County the day before yesterday... nominally because a large number of people moved to Wutai County to help Daizhou Sima Zhu Yichen compile the military roster.
The meaning of this temptation is very obvious... Of course Li Shan can understand it. Zhang Shigui is saying, you speak nicely, you won't make fun of me, right?
However, although it is fast, this is not what Li Shan wants to deal with today.
Someone brought a few bar stools over, and Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Shigui, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche, Chang He and others sat on the left and right. Although they had different positions, Duan Zhixuan, who liked to stir up trouble the most, had already left, and everyone still had something to talk about.
For example, Zhang Shigui and Chang He were fellow soldiers, and although they had different statuses during the Luoyang War, they were still considered colleagues. In particular, Zhang Shigui was the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, and Chang He was once a general under him.
Another example is that Zhang Gongjin has a good relationship with Xue Wanche's brother Xue Wanjun. Unlike Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun has a humble temperament and has a very good relationship with his colleagues in Tiance Mansion.
Li Shan suddenly discovered that those who came to Daizhou from the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion... were all foreign generals!
In the first batch, there was an old man from Jinyang, Duan Zhixuan, but he was driven back by him. Although Zhang Shigui had seniority in the Qin Palace, he was indeed an outsider.
The Li and Tang dynasties started in Jinyang and occupied Guanzhong, but their foothold was actually unstable. The Xue family of the Western Qin Dynasty and Liu Wuzhou of Mayi posed fundamental threats to this new dynasty.
Although the founding emperor Li Yuan was also a veteran general, looking at the Yang and Sui dynasties, he was not really an outstanding general, and the old people around him were not really famous generals.
Faced with the threats from Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuan did not fail to use his trusted old men, but the reality was before him. Those who ranked high on the list of Yuanmou heroes, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, Changsun Shunde, and Liu Hongji were all defeated. , lost troops, lost generals, lost divisions and lost land, the nascent Li Tang Dynasty was almost on the verge of collapse.
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin stepped forward, defeated the Western Qin Guanzhong in Qianshuiyuan, and regained his homeland in Hedong in the battle of Baibi. This can be said to be the luck of the Li and Tang dynasties... Looking at ancient and modern times, such famous generals who are still young and weak, Very few.
But then, irreversible changes took place within the Li Tang Dynasty, especially the ambitious Li Shimin who recruited all the heroes... and specifically selected talents from the demoted generals.
In fact, the Li Tang Dynasty was able to dominate the world, and Li Shimin was able to achieve the key victory of Luoyang Hulao and conquer the Central Plains. His outstanding military ability was one of the reasons. However, without the many heroes around him, it would be difficult to win a battle. The great deeds of two kings.
Li Shimin's de facto deputy at the time, Qu Tutong who is now in charge of Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province, Zhang Shigui who was originally from Henan and went north to congeniality, Yu Chigong who was almost killed... there are too many similar people.
In fact, Zhai Changsun, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong, the four commanders of the Xuanjia Cavalry who were regarded by Li Shimin as their trump card, were all demoted generals.
The emergence of this situation prompted the Li Tang Dynasty to unify the world as soon as possible, and also directly caused the King of Qin's line to have no retreat, and the inevitable conflict with the East Palace.
Li Shan couldn't help but glance at Xue Wanche when he thought of this... Logically speaking, this was Luo Yi's old subordinate, and he had a long-standing grievance with Su Dingfang, so the East Palace would never choose him to go north to take up his post.
Li Shan thought to himself that the problem was caused by Xue Wanche being an outsider and being ostracized by the old man of the East Palace... He once heard Ling Jing mention that Wei Zheng, who was also an outsider, was not popular among his colleagues even though the prince Li Jiancheng trusted him. Not very good, the reviews are pretty bad.
Li Shan was thinking about something, and Zhang Shigui, who was sitting second from the left, was also thinking about something. It had been half a month since he arrived in Daizhou, and the young prince's face seemed clear, but then seemed blurry.
He has the courage to do his job, has the desire to make achievements, and is unwilling to get involved in seizing the legitimate rights. He has a good balance between the two parties' forces and is impartial and decisive.
And the methods were very impressive, from forcing Yuan Junzhang to surrender, to almost dismembering his nearly ten thousand troops a few months later, firmly holding Mayi in his hands... not everyone can do this.
Zhang Shigui was even a little envious of Li Jing... Who would have thought that the middle-level general who was unknown a few years ago rose to become a famous general, and now that Beishan has been appointed as the general manager of Daizhou, he can inherit such a rich legacy.
While thinking about these, Li Shan suddenly smiled and said: "Now most of Duke Rui's old troops have been purged, and the cavalry who led the army to Guo County have also been reorganized by Brother Dingfang, but over there in Mayi..."
After a pause, Li Shan sighed: "The Duke of Yiyang County is old after all, and Shuozhou Sima Qin Wutong... was seriously injured that year, so Ma Yi has one less cavalryman who can lead the cavalry in battle."
"I'm willing to go!" Xue Wanche immediately shouted.
"Recording affairs to join the military..." Li Shanzuo couldn't help but laugh and cry, "What are you causing trouble...Are you too busy with the things at hand?"
"Besides, although I also think that you are more suitable as a general than as a civil servant... but..."
As he spoke, Li Shan's eyes fell on Chang He.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
