Zhang Lu asked the official to convey the governor's order to the migrant workers, which caused a burst of sighs. In the next few days, someone else proposed to immigrate to Hedong. Zhang Lu also agreed and asked them to return to Shangjun to move their families.
Anyi, where Hedong County is seated, was once the capital of Wei State. It had the largest city and the most important position. However, the Wei people here were the most sentimental about their family and country, and they left the most completely. They carried out purposeful destruction before leaving, causing serious damage to the place. Currently, the people living here are people who immigrated later, mainly Qin people. Agricultural production is not developing very well. The autumn harvest is about to begin, the grain growth is not very strong, and there is still a lot of wasteland around.
Zhang Lu did not continue to arrange immigration in Anyi. Half of the road-building army stayed in Quwo, and of the remaining half, another half wanted to leave. Finally, Zhang Lu arranged for this quarter to go to Jie County. In addition to the extremely important salt ponds, there is also abundant land suitable for farming. He announced a rule: people with titles above hairpin can choose to move their families to Anyi. This rule makes living in Anyi an honorable thing.
Zhang Lu, Pi Wan, and Zheng Anping finally returned to the Guanyi in Anyi and began to work together. Zhang Lu asked five officials from various counties to help him handle specific affairs; Chen Si and Mang Wei were nominally Zheng Anping's retainers; only Pi Wan's office team was the strongest, and all the six Cao officials, from chief officers to attachés, were fully occupied. There were as many as thirty people.
The public officials of Shangjun have returned to the county to request tasks. Doctors at all levels were asked not to return to the county and to stay in Hedong to lead the team. Zhang Lu did not neglect them, and Pi Wan came forward to temporarily organize them into a garrison. The main task was to maintain law and order in Anyi, and the auxiliary task was to reclaim wasteland. There are still about 3,000 people in this army, organized into six battalions. The officials and officials are all from Shangjun. There are no other public officials in Shangjun, so three senior officials were selected from among them to act as public officials. Lead thousands of generals. Since a considerable number of Shangjun soldiers have immigrated, and only a few remain, the original organization has long been disrupted, and the current Qin army soldiers basically do not know each other.
The tasks of the three public officials rotate every day: patrolling and sentrying, army training, and reclaiming wasteland. Anyi's grain reserves were seriously insufficient. Fortunately, the channels to Anyi from various counties were open. Zhang Lu desperately asked the counties to mobilize grain and grass to Anyi. Even the herdsmen of the Yi family were mobilized and used their livestock to pull food in various counties. Even small animals were used, barely maintaining the food supply in Anyi. But correspondingly, the grain depots in various counties have been basically emptied.
The immigrants in Shangjun originally had titles. At present, not counting the merits of building roads, just because of immigration, many superiors have become hairpins. In addition to other meritorious services, many princes were promoted to noble ranks. As a result, more people were eligible to move to Anyi. Zhang Lu ordered all localities to register and report all those who were qualified and willing to immigrate to Anyi. After the year, they would uniformly organize emigration according to the order. They are still engaged in their own production in each county.
Zhang Lu asked the Anyi Order to set up a recruitment notice at the entrance of Zhi Road, and sent people to check it from time to time. If there was any damage, it would be updated immediately. At the same time, an area was designated at the entrance of the Sushui Valley to temporarily accommodate the Wei people who had moved from Zhidao.
While waiting for the final harvest, Zhang Lu, Pi Wan and Zheng Anping discussed the future work of Anyi in detail, outlined the tasks in detail, and decided that Zheng Anping would return to Xianyang again and report to the Prime Minister's Office.
This time Zheng Anping did not dare to go alone, so he took Chen Si and Mang Wei with him, and asked Pi Wan to recommend a person from among his jailers to accompany him. Their report will be limited to Anyi's future development plan and is a special report! In addition to the four officials, Gai Nie and Wu Wang also accompanied them as concubines to take care of their daily life. In the past few months of running around in Hedong, only Gai Nie has grown the most. He has almost grown into an adult figure.
The six of them had neither a car nor a horse to ride on, so they could only walk to Puban and take a boat to Xianyang. The round trip takes more than half a month, and including the stay in Xianyang, it takes almost a month. There were no emergencies during this trip, and the roads were in good condition, so everyone was relatively relaxed. Each of the four men held halberds and swords, and they were neatly dressed, except for their unkempt beards, showing their endless dust. The two concubines only carried bags and no weapons. They only carried a cane as a walking aid.
After arriving in Puban, Zheng Anping took Gai Nie and Xiaonu to meet. Since Xiao Nu was still staying at Pu Ling's home and they did not stay overnight, Zheng Anping told Xiao Nu that he would take her back to Anyi when he had a house in Anyi.
When they arrived in Xianyang, Zheng Anping and his entourage still stayed at the Guanyi next to Xianyang Palace. They found that the yard of Prince Chu and Huang Xie had become very messy, and it was obvious that Prince Chu was about to move into the Chu Palace.
In another part of Xianyang, a palace is being built for Gongzi Zhen, because he will officially be crowned King of An at the end of the year and the beginning of the year! Anguo was in Nanyang County, not far from Rang and Deng.
First, he reported to Xianyang Palace to show that he was successful on behalf of Hedong. The receptionist was very polite, took the festival talisman respectfully, registered the matters, and asked Zheng Anping to go back. After Zheng Anping returned to the inn, Chen Si and Mang Wei told him that the prince and Huang Xie invited them to have dinner. The three of them left their dinner to Gai Nie and Wu Wang (all three of them had titles and corresponding standard free meals, but Gai Nie and Wu Wang did not) and went to the backyard to see Huang Xie. It was Mang Shen who opened the door again and took the three people in.
Huang Xie, the Prince, and Prince Fu were waiting in the main hall. When they saw the three of them, they all sat up to greet them. Because of Mang Wei's presence, Huang Xie specially asked three people from the Mang family to accompany him. Huang Xie asked about the situation in Hedong, and Zheng Anping explained each one. Messrs. Che You and Hu Zhong also asked some questions, and Mang Wei answered on Zheng Anping's behalf. Speaking of Zhang Lu's discovery of the valley entrance leading to Zhi Road, even Huang Xie was surprised, saying that he did not expect that the exit of this road was unguarded.
Huang Xie had long known that Chen Si was good at drawing terrain maps. Huang Xie specifically mentioned it to Chen Guo, and Chen Si took out all the atlases he had drawn. The people in the hall sat together and looked at them carefully. Huang Xie shook his head and sighed: "Wei dedicates such a precious land to others..." He clicked his tongue repeatedly.
Zheng Anping said: "The east of the river has been decided, how about lunch?"
Huang Xie said: "Anyone who governs a country can only use three methods: the common people, the rich, and the education. If the river east is established, then it should be the common people; after the common people, it should be the rich; if the people are rich, it should be the education."
Zheng Anping said: "Although Anyi is called a county, its population is only 30,000 to 50,000 households. Even if they are common people, they cannot be doubled over the years. It was once not as good as the land of a lord. What can I do?"
Huang Xie said: "I heard that the King of Qin has a strategy to recruit talents, Zhang Qing ordered it?"
Zheng Anping said: "If you want to recruit talented people, you must get rich; if you want to get rich, you must recruit common people. Therefore, we should put the common people first."
Huang Xie said: "It's not like what the doctor said. When recruiting talented people, they will be common people. If they are common people, they will be rich. If they are rich, they will be common people again. This is how it should be done."
Zheng Anping said: "I would like to hear his way."
Huang Xie said: "It is the end of the year, after the autumn harvest, and the prisoners should go out to fight. Zhang Qing obtained tens of thousands of people from the entire county, so he pardoned them and ordered them to move. In one night, tens of thousands of households in Hedong were captured. Ye. It is said that most of the people in Anyi are between Jin and Fen, or live in Zhi Road. Zhang Qing's good advice on Zhi Road can bring tens of thousands of households back, and all the old Wei people still follow the old business, Anyi How can I be unhappy!"
Zheng Anping said: "I am sincerely afraid that we will not reach it. Now that we have found the Zhe Road, we will definitely want to attack it. I am afraid that we will make plans in the middle of the year."
Huang Xie said: "Is it true to what he said? Zhedao is in the land of Wei. Now that the prince is in Wei, how can he tolerate a sudden attack?"
Zheng Anping said: "If it attacks Wei, the prince may retreat."
Huang Xie said: "If it can be slowed down, isn't that okay?"
Zheng Anping said: "This is not what I dare to say."
Everyone then changed the topic and talked about the prince's marriage and the prince's appointment as the king of Anguo. Huang Xie said: "The five princes discuss government affairs, and the old rules of Qin have been in place for decades. When the prince comes to adulthood, he still has not been able to discuss it, so he only agrees with Yan. Now that the prince has been granted the title of prince, will he have six princes? If the prince returns, there will be seven princes. That’s right. If you have a large number of people, your power will be divided, and Marquis Rang will lose his power."
Mang Wei said: "Marquis Rang held the center for several decades, becoming generals and becoming prime ministers; Lord Wu'an Laiji was killed in the army and was slaughtered by others. These two sons have lived in the dynasty, and their power cannot be weakened."
Huang Xie said: "Ranghou is so illustrious that Jingyang and Gaoling divide his power. Although Wu'an Lord is brave, Huayang Lord divides his power. First, Zhang Qing discussed it with him. Now that the prince and Anguo Lord have been restored, how can Ranghou follow it? Chi!"
The prince suddenly said: "If Qin loses Ranghou, doesn't it mean that he has cut off his own arms and destroyed Qiancheng?"
Huang Xie said: "Weiye. The strength of Qin lies in Qin's law, not Ranghou. Even if there is no Ranghou, Qin's law will be implemented, and Qin's strength will remain the same."
Zheng Anping said: "It's true, what Zuo Tu said! Hu Yang, came from the guest Qing and came to Zhong Geng. Fang Qi entered Qifeng, left Caiyang and Changshe, defeated the Wei Dynasty at the foot of Huayang City, sank Jia Yan in the river, and fought against the incorruptible people. In Wu'an and Handan, he is a hero for a lifetime. Once he dies, it is like an ox losing a feather or a bird losing a feather. What harm will it do to Qin?"
Huang Xie said: "I was particularly saddened by the death of Hu Qing. However, Qin buried him with Zhonggeng ceremony and returned to his family. Today, the Hu family only has a wife and thousands of hectares of fertile land. It is difficult to cultivate it, but it is difficult to recruit a son-in-law. Hu family, to inherit his business. The whole family moved to the wild."
When Hu Yang died, Zheng Anping had already left Xianyang. Hu Yang's obituary was sent to all counties from Xianyang. Zhang Lu and Zheng Anping learned about it and were very sad at the time. However, Zheng Anping did not know the situation of the Hu family. He only knew that Hu Yang left no descendants and all the inheritance was inherited by his wife. Only now did I know that Mrs. Hu had hired a son-in-law and moved to the countryside to live. I felt sorry for Hu Yang again. He thought to himself that although the little slave was pregnant, whether it was a boy or a girl and whether he could be raised, he would probably end up like Hu Yang if he worked hard to survive. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad, my voice got choked up, and I shed tears.
Huang Xie consoled him and said, "It's a blessing that a man's name will go down in history. However, if the family loses a heir, there will be no blood sacrifice, which is also a small loss. If your husband has a heir, you can't delay!"
