Chapter 106 Police in the Western Region

After Zhang Yue explained, he changed his clothes, took two guards, and went to his fiefdom.

Although Zhang Yue was granted the title of Marquis of Yunyang, his fiefdom was not the entire Yunyang County, but actually only a small area of ​​Yunyang County.

This time, Zhang Yue wanted to know about the situation of the country being closed, so he did not notify anyone else.

He actually doesn't care about the land of the Hou Kingdom. His future lies in the Western Regions, but the population in the Hou Kingdom is what he needs.

The Western Regions lack nothing but people, especially real Han people.

The three of them rode horses for about an hour and arrived at a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

At this time, there happened to be several old farmers farming beside the road.

"Old man, is this the Marquis of Yunyang?" Zhang Yue casually asked an old farmer working on the roadside!

"The gentleman is from Chang'an, right? This place is now the Marquis of Yunyang!"

The old farmer looked Zhang Yue up and down, "Young gentleman, you are here to find Marquis Yunyang, even if your journey is in vain?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I have an old relationship with Marquis Yunyang, and I am here to visit my friend!"

The old farmer said, "This is unfortunate. Although this area is now assigned to Marquis Yunyang, Marquis Yunyang no longer lives here..."

Zhang Yue pretended to be surprised and said, "That's it. I think this place is quite big..."

The old farmer said, "That's natural. We have tens of thousands of people here!"

At the time of the emperor's canonization, Zhang Yue had 900 households.

However, I learned from an old farmer that there were more than a thousand households with a population of more than ten thousand in his feudal territory, and the extra people would naturally be hermit households.

This is an unexpected blessing for him, if half of the people can be moved to Luntai.

Coupled with the young men recruited this time, the number of Han people in Luntai will exceed 10,000.

With these people as the backbone, Luntai can naturalize more foreigners.

The Han people who were originally living in various parts of the Western Region will gradually gather in Luntai. In less than five years, the population of Luntai will reach 30,000.

At that time, Luntai, which has a population of 30,000 and 5,000 Han troops, will be able to fight even if it encounters King Youxian of the Xiongnu.

However, it is not easy to achieve this goal, and he never thought of migrating so many people at once.

The food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. If you want the people to migrate to the Western Regions, you must first let them see the benefits.

"My father-in-law, I see how beautiful the scenery here is. I really envy others..."

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head and sighed, "What beauty is there in this remote place? The beauty is to be able to have enough food..."

Zhang Yue asked, "But are there too many excessive taxes?"

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Young man doesn't know something. Here... it would be nice if you don't starve to death..."

The father-in-law's words made Zhang Yue not sure how to answer.

He sighed, took off a bunch of five baht coins, distributed them to several old farmers, and left here with a heavy heart.

After walking around the countryside for a day and chatting with a few old farmers in the countryside, we returned to the mansion.

…

Three days later, Zhang Yue led his people back to his fiefdom again.

However, this time he did not serve in the Bailongyu suit. Instead, he notified Hou Guoxiang one day in advance, and then he came in a chariot with his entourage with great fanfare.

Under the organization of the Hou Guoxiang, people from various pavilions and li in the fiefdom had gathered together early to wait for the new owner of this land.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

Under the leadership of Hou Guoxiang, all the officials bowed down and paid homage.

The common people and leaders are still waiting in the distance.

The vassal states of the Han Dynasty all had a complete set of management systems.

Among the administrative officials, there is one prime minister, with an official rank of 400 shi; one prime minister, with a rank of 200 shi; and two lieutenants, with a rank of 200 shi.

In the early Han Dynasty, these officials were all appointed by the princes themselves, but after Emperor Jing, they were all appointed by the central government.

In addition, there are also several people including the township rank, the order history, the prison history, the official secretary, the village secretary, the tour leader, the jailer, the Wei history, the official assistant, the rural assistant, the post assistant, and the pavilion chief.

They are respectively in charge of the country's civil affairs, civil affairs, taxation, litigation, public security and other administrative affairs.

Among the ministers and officials of the Hou state, there is one person who is a household official; one person each of servants, pedestrians, and ministers, and one concubine, Xianma, and middle concubine, etc.

If it is a country with ten thousand households, among the retainers there will also be officials such as Fu, Chief Secretary, Shiren, Chief of the Private Palace, and Food Officer.

However, Zhang Yue's Yunyang State was only a small state with 900 households, so naturally it would not have so many official positions.

The little income from Hou Guozhong is not enough to support the officials.

Now, in his kingdom, there is only one prime minister and one Wei.

The following townships have rank, order history, prison history, official clerk, township clerk, youyou, jailer, Weishi, official assistant, rural assistant, post assistant, pavilion chief, etc. They are originally composed of.

As for Jiacheng, there is no one.

Under the guidance of Hou Guoxiang, Zhang Yue came to an earth dam.

This is where people dry their grains to dry during the busy farming season, and other activities on weekdays are also held here.

At this time, a high platform has been erected on the earth dam. On the high platform, gold and drums are ready.

The country soldiers led by Hou Guowei stood in a row, holding spears and spears, with their heads held high, waiting for Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue was not polite and quickly climbed onto the high platform.

"Boom!"

The bronze vertebra hit the bell and made a loud noise. Everyone looked towards the high platform.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

Various voices sounded from the audience.

Zhang Yue was not surprised, he laughed and said, "Two or three sons, I am Zhang Yue... today... you will live up to Yue, and Yue will live up to you!"

Zhang Yue did not directly talk about immigrating to Luntai. He simply did some propaganda and agitation.

Afterwards, he ordered people to distribute the gifts he had prepared on the spot.

There wasn't much, just a small bag of millet per household.

However, this made the Guizhou leaders have a good impression of this new owner.

"Servant, thank you sir!"

"You don't have to be polite to the second and third sons!"

In the evening, Zhang Yue organized another cocktail party.

On the second day, Zhang Yue went to greet the people from door to door and visited the widows and widows.

Through these small tricks that were later used to ruin the streets, Zhang Yue quickly captured the hearts of the people in Hou's country.

The people all felt that they had met a wise king and that they had hope in life.

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Zhang Yue announced his immigration plan.

As Zhang Yue expected, the people still hesitated.

However, the work he has done in the past few days has not been in vain, at least the people have not directly opposed it.

For most people, relocation is not a last resort. Who would be willing to move their families?

After half a month of hard work, 37 families were finally willing to move their families. However, there were many people who were willing to join the army with Zhang Yue, 112 of them.

This result has made Zhang Yue very satisfied, for the purpose of buying horse bones for a thousand gold.

Zhang Yue gave a reward of 1,000 yuan to each of the 37 families who were willing to move their families.

Each of the 112 people who joined the army was given a settlement allowance of 300 yuan.

Perhaps because of the rewards, 11 more families agreed to migrate.

…

A red-feathered messenger from Chang'an City rushed into the city on Pegasus.

"Emergency report from the Western Region..."

The news quickly reached the emperor.

"Summon the Prime Minister, Jiuqing... to discuss matters in Xuanshi Palace!"

…
