Yu Chi was promoted to Linfen County Lieutenant in the Xie Jin Dynasty, and Wu Boyuan, the Linfen Governor who surrendered, was appointed as the Linfen County Prefect.
In addition to the remaining soldiers and horses stationed in Jiexiu, Li Po ordered all the troops to garrison in Xihe County. In addition to guarding the Tang army's surrender, he also ordered various ministries to open up fields for cultivation next year.
Zhang Zhiyun, the governor of Xihe County, is leading the officials of Xihe County who have arrived one after another to measure the acres of land in order to prepare for the distribution of the land.
As for who should be given to farm, there is no need to ask. The Tang army surrendered many soldiers, and Li Po had no intention of expanding the army aggressively, not because of anything else, but because he really couldn't afford to feed it.
We can only select the best among them to form an army, and most of the others will become farmers in Xihe County in the future.
Jinyang has a large population, and the big families in Jinyang also intend to expand their business in Xihe County. After all, Xihe County has the most fertile farmland in Bingzhou, and the water resources are much more abundant than those in the north.
Such fertile farmland has been abandoned due to the war, and when there is an opportunity for redistribution, the first ones to be tempted are naturally these Jinyang ethnic groups.
Moreover, Xihe County also has the most abundant mountain and forest resources in Bingzhou, and the mountains and forests are not as good as the fields. Generally speaking, the mountains and forests are the favorite inheritance of the rich families.
If someone's family owns a large forest, then his family must be a local wealthy family. In fact, this is just like the jewelry worn on the body. The actual value is secondary, and it shows status and identity.
Therefore, land and land have always changed hands frequently. Once the mountains and forests change hands, it means that a family is declining.
Of course, in addition to these people, refugees from Xihe County are also returning one after another. As time goes by, some villages that were abandoned at the beginning are gradually becoming populated.
Then the other thing is that because Xihe County has a lot of land, it is also a good choice to reward meritorious soldiers. In addition, the army stationed in Xihe County has begun to free up its hands to continue to suppress Luliang bandits, which also adds additional population to Xihe County...
…
With fertile land, the people of the Central Plains Dynasty actually thrived in such reincarnations and never stopped.
Therefore, Xihe County at this time is similar to Yanmen at that time, and there are many things waiting for improvement.
There is no need to think about this year. It will undoubtedly be another lean year for Xihe County. However, the population problem has been solved fairly well. When Xihe County came under Li Po's rule, almost all the people here were soldiers.
People.
It also paved the way for Xihe soldiers to become famous in the north.
When Li Po arrived in Jiangzhou, it was already mid-June of this year. The autumn wind was gradually picking up, and the autumn harvest in the north was not far away.
Li Po had received letters from Chen Xiaoyi, Yu Wenxin and others before. The excitement of everyone could be said to be vivid on the paper. Such a great victory was a huge event for the officials and people of the two states.
.
To put it in a layman's terms, this victory greatly improved the morale of the officials and the people.
The most direct manifestation is that after the news of the great victory spread, the two states have not calmed down, and the price of food, which has increased in the past few months, has fallen in response.
This is the best proof of the attachment of the people. Many people have begun to believe that the future will become increasingly stable, and some local tribes are also making various efforts to show their loyalty.
The last thing the several prefects said was one thing. This year, the weather has been good, and the weather has been smooth throughout the year, and a good harvest is expected in the two states. Due to the exemption of taxes, the government has not seen the shadow of taxes, and there is a need for replenishment of various granaries.
Take out the money and buy it.
The several prefects are not stupid people, and they have no intention of complaining. If they continue as they are now, it will be like a foundation. Only a prodigal would do things like fishing in the lake.
Moreover, Su Danzheng worked with He Chou and others to cast silver coins, and finally a unique Jin silver was released.
Afterwards, everyone also understood that coins were very important to the government. To purchase many things from the people, coins were needed. This is the most normal relationship between the government and the people.
For example, since the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, the practice of forcibly confiscating grain and grass and recruiting young men was abnormal and often triggered rebellions.
The so-called "take from the people and use it for the people" is actually the truth.
A large amount of coins enter the private sector for trading purposes, and then the government collects taxes, reuses them, and returns them to the private sector. This is a virtuous cycle.
The long-standing period of using grain as the basic trading commodity in Daizhou has gradually come to an end.
Several prefects have no doubt that after this year's bumper harvest, Bingdai and the two states will be on the right track, and their recovery will be just around the corner.
Yu Wenxin is showing his merit. The city of Yanmen has recovered very quickly this year, and the people's morale is stable. After hearing that there was a great victory, the officials and the people were happy, and many soldiers from the government volunteered to join the army... Well, in a word, the situation in Yanmen is very good.
.
At the end, this person vaguely mentioned again, is it time to trade with the Turks? Now that we have reconciled with the Turks, we are in need of envoys and Turkic nobles, so as to influence the decisions of the Turkic Khans.
It can be seen that after a trip to Yunzhong Grassland, this Kansai nobleman felt that his horizons were broadened, and he gained a lot of confidence when talking about old things again.
Perhaps his only regret is that, as a member of the Kansai clan, he was unable to participate in the previous glorious war, which prevented him from taking any further steps towards his supreme life goal of becoming a general or prime minister, right?
Yu Wenxin's utilitarianism has always been much stronger than others, so it is not surprising that he is not restless in the position of Yanmen Prefect.
Yuen Long, who was in Mayi, was similar to Yu Wenxin this time. In addition to writing about the construction of the city, he also complained that Li Po should not have left him in Mayi.
The descendants of the Yuan family all relied on swords and guns to obtain fame and fortune, but he started out as a horse herding official, and now he has become a slave leader. All he saw all day long were rough Turks, which made him very
of boredom.
It can be seen that as he gets older, his desire to make a contribution becomes more and more urgent.
Of course, although Yuen Long is full of complaints, its results are really good.
The city on the bank of Cangshui is gradually taking shape. It is a large city comparable to Yunnei City. However, the progress of the project has slowed down a bit after He Chou sent his son and apprentice there because many places were not built as expected.
The city, which was originally planned to be completed this year, will almost have to wait until next summer.
Yuen Long was also very dissatisfied with this. Xu Zhao was scolded by him for being a bitch and a tomb robber who built the city... Well, it was indeed a bit difficult for him.
To be honest, Yuen Long's power is not small now. In addition to serving as the magistrate of Yunnei County, the entire Mayi, Loufan, and the pastures in the north of Yanmen are under his jurisdiction.
Compared with today's Yuen Long, the Tu emperor who dominated Yun Nei Ranch for thousands of years is nothing.
But now the pastures in the north of Daizhou, including the number of herdsmen, war horses and livestock, have far exceeded the scale of the Sui Dynasty, and they are extremely prosperous.
This is a unique and unique phenomenon. Of course, it also greatly increases Yuen Long's power. In addition, he is also Li Po's brother-in-law. Compared with those prefects, he is actually only one official rank behind him.
In terms of power and status, both are even worse...
