Chapter 372: Demarcation of the county

Green ant's new fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing late in the evening, can I have a glass of wine?

Returning to Guzang, the soldiers took turns to rest and reunite with their families.

Yang Zheng was still busy, and everyone gathered together to discuss matters and cook the five-cooked pot.

Folks are made of pottery.

Yang Zheng naturally used a five-cooked copper cauldron with five compartments inside for cooking five flavors, similar to the Yuanyang pot and Zimu pot of later generations.

But there are not as many seasonings as later generations.

Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, dug through the Western Regions and brought back many good things, such as pepper, carrots, courgettes, green onions and other fruits and vegetables, which greatly enriched the taste of the Han people.

The food is suitable, including onions, leeks, mallows, carrots, tofu, mutton, beef, venison, Qiang boiled and grilled, and paired with Pu Tao wine brought back from the Western Regions, it has a unique flavor.

Qiangzhu means boiling lamb and venison, while Qianzhi means roasting whole sheep.

If you live in the northwest, roasting whole lamb is a must.

Although there is no later seasoning, the original taste of the food is great, fresh and sweet.

It’s a rare luxury to have twice a year.

Except for Pu Tao wine, the other expenses are not too much and they are all local specialties.

"In the past few years, the generals have fought in the south and north to expand the territory. Liangzhou's original organizational system can no longer cover it. My subordinates suggested reorganizing the counties." In official affairs, Du Yu was more active than anyone else.

Replanning states and counties means reshuffling the cards. If done properly, it can divide the powerful local scholars.

It can also be regarded as a kind of boiling a frog in warm water.

Lu Zhi and Du Yu have been discussing this matter since last year.

Some counties have false names, while some areas are densely populated and have no county governance.

"Yuan Kai, please tell me carefully." Yang Zheng picked up a piece of stewed mutton that was tender and melted in his mouth. He took another sip of Pu Tao wine and felt as if he had returned to the future life.

However, Liu Heng, Meng Guan and others were not used to drinking the Pu Tao wine from the Western Regions. They thought it was lackluster and preferred millet wine.

Du Yu asked people to carry it up to the sand table, and they had a panoramic view of Liangzhou's territory.

"The meander of the river contains fertile lands such as the Big Yu Valley, Dayun Valley, Poyan Valley, Dafeichuan, and Fuluochuan. Hequ County can be added, and five new counties of Yu, Yun, Poyan, Dafei, and Fuluo can be established."

Zhong Qiang can raise hundreds of thousands of troops by occupying the Yu Valley and the Yu Valley. In recent years, with the efforts of the Xuanyi soldiers, the Qiang people have moved to the plateau and entered the meanders of the river. Even if they become slaves, they are happy to do so.

The population of Hequ is the fastest growing among the counties.

But it doesn’t even have the organizational structure of a county, which is really unreasonable.

Yang Zheng nodded.

Du Yu continued: "To the north of Zhangye County, there is the North Sea, with water and grass stretching to the sky. Huo Qiaoqi built a military horse farm, and then there was a horse in Liangzhou. The Han Dynasty had the vassal state of Juyan, with jurisdiction over Juyan, Jianshui, and two captains.

In the Hexi Corridor, my subordinates proposed to separate an area here as Juyan County and restore the four counties lost since the end of the Han Dynasty."

Beihai is Juyanze and Juyanhai.

In later generations, the famous Juyan Han bamboo slips were unearthed here.

From Zhangye, you can take a boat down the black water and reach Juyan Sea, as if a fist has penetrated the Mobei grassland.

This is where the name Zhangye comes from.

Without Juyan, Zhangye would not be worthy of its name.

In fact, it’s not just Zhangye. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Huma has moved south, and too much land in Hexi has been eroded.

Wuwei once had fourteen counties, but now only nine counties remain.

Zhangye lost Ju Yanhai and half of it was gone.

Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places were all eroded.

In other words, there is still a lot of room for expansion north of Liangzhou.

Juyan is now controlled by the Xianbei people, but this is not a problem.

"How can the land of China fall into the hands of others? If it is not taken back, I will not be able to see the people of the world. I am ordering all the powerful commanders and chiefs of Liangzhou to come to Guzang to see me!" Yang Zheng was a little drunk and his face was rosy.

"It's best if you don't come. I will lead an army and massacre them all!" Liu Heng drank more, his face smelling of alcohol.

Lu Zhi frowned and said: "Soldiers have been fighting for a long time. We should not attack frequently. We should rest and recuperate in preparation for future battles."

"The general has wiped out Hexi and shocked the world. The unification of Liangzhou is the general trend. These tribes will definitely come." Wei Guan said with a smile.

It's best if you can't use the knife, but you can't stand some stupid people who have to jump.

"I am a swordsman, and he is a fish. Let's see the reaction of these tribes first." Yang Zheng also felt that the soldiers should take a rest.

Along the way back, the powerful sons of the scholar family brought back more than 6,000 people.

In one Ma Xun alone, 3,000 pieces were classified into the guard camp.

Let the guard camp become extremely expanded.

But we should eat one bite at a time and walk on the road step by step. The most urgent task is to divide the counties first.

On Du Yu's suggestion, Beidi County was also restored.

Changning and Ledu counties were established in Xiping.

Gaochang is divided into two parts, with Luntai (Urumqi), Pulei, Jiaohe and other cities in the north as Luntai County, and Gaochang County in the south with Gaochanglei, Liuzhong, Yinwu and other places.

Haitou City is located in the territory of Loulan Kingdom. Loulan has a close relationship with the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions. It would be unkind to set up a county on their land.

Still stick to the old system.

At this point, Yang Zheng has the thirteen counties of Anding, Beidi, Wuwei, Jincheng, Xiping, Hequ, Xihai, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Juyan, Dunhuang, Luntai, and Gaochang.

Some places haven't been completely taken down yet, but it's almost there.

The division of counties is also quite clever.

For example, Jianwei City is located south of the Yellow River and closer to Yu County, but because it is the passage of the Yellow River, it is divided into Xiping County.

Pingqiang City and Qilian City are closer to the West Sea, but one is classified as Zhangye County in the north of Qilian Mountains, and the other is classified as Wuwei County.

Jiaohe City and Gaochang City are separated by water, but they were turned into Luntai County...

Most of them are intertwined with each other and check and balance each other. There is me in you and you in me. It is difficult to form a closed geographical plate.

Du Yu also suggested that the three armies of Dunhuang, Gaochang, and Luntai should be divided into the Xizhou Prefectural Department, and Hequ, Xiping, and Jincheng should be divided into the Hezhou Prefectural Department.

But was put aside by Yang Zheng.

The land of three states sounds nice to hear, but its population is not as large as that of one county in the Central Plains, so it would be a bit ridiculous to spread the word.

The flattening of the two-level system of counties and counties is conducive to the central government's control over local areas and enables more refined management.

"In addition to dividing counties and counties, we can also add the Jincao Division, the Comfort Division, and the Army and Horse Division." Yang Zheng held out three fingers.

The six counties in Jiangdong can be used to establish a country. There are thirteen counties in our own country. The family is big and the business is big, and all the necessary things need to be matched.

With the commercial throats of the East and West in your own hands, you naturally have to manage currency and control finance. This is a sharp tool, and if you use it well, it can hurt people invisibly.

The Soothing Department was specially set up for the various tribes in Liangzhou. Sinicization requires a step-by-step process. The Xuanyi Department undertakes too many functions, both internally and externally. This is unhealthy in itself. It requires a special department to soothe the Qiang, Hu and Xianbei easily.

Wounded soul.

The Army and Horse Department is a top priority. Yang Zheng's strength is cavalry. Now Hehuang and Liangzhou horse farms are in front of him. Liangzhou Horse and Xiliang Iron Cavalry will see the light of day again.

The establishment of these three departments was considered a matter of course, and no one had any objections.

Su Hong was appointed as Jin Cao Sicheng, Shao Tong was appointed to appease Sicheng, and Army Horse Commander Yang Zheng was given to Suo Jing as his agent, with the intention of training him.

The three of them are not very young. Shao Tong is a Hu but is enthusiastic about China. Su Hong has been in charge of trade for many years and already possesses practical talents.
