Just when Fei Qian was engaged in the Academy Competition in Pingyang with great fanfare, Zhao Yun in Yinshan was already arranging various affairs and trying his best to arrange everything as properly as possible, because Zhao Yun soon came back.
It's time to go on an expedition.
In Yinshan, there are mainly three aspects of things, one is to settle the people, the other is to train the troops, and the other is the affairs related to the Hu people.
As for the villagers, according to the Han system, it is natural to establish households and all the people. This matter is because most of the refugees here in Yinshan are granted land, so there has been a map for a long time, so it is not very difficult to collect taxes according to the map. The problem is
Because with the population competition in Yinshan, the land has been developed from raw fields to mature fields, and the grain output and grain varieties are constantly increasing. The original rough handling methods of Zhao Yun and Ma Yue were somewhat unable to keep up with the professional civil affairs officials, so
This time, Pei Mao from Hedong became the Prime Minister of Yinshan, specifically responsible for people's livelihood and government affairs. This relieved Zhao Yun's burden a lot and allowed Zhao Yun to put aside these government affairs for the time being and focus on the military.
The Pei family and the Fei family were actually the same family in the Spring and Autumn Period, but they were separated later, so their relationship was naturally closer than usual. Now that the power of the Hussar General is increasing, the Hedong Pei family is naturally also
They are getting closer and closer, so even though Yinshan is not a prosperous place, Pei Mao still comes and works diligently without any complaints, because Pei Mao also knows that Yinshan is very important.
If you want to fight for the world, natural food and grass should come first. If you don’t have money and food, just fight for the world?
Now, under the general Fei Qian of the Hussars, the grain and grass potential of Pingyang Hedong has basically been determined. Although Guanzhong is gradually recovering, there are many people in Guanzhong itself, and there may be more in the future, so the additional Yinshan production land will naturally
It is very important, and now in the Yinshan Mountains, both grain output and grain types are much more than in previous years. Different grains require different storage methods, which is naturally not what Zhao Yun or Ma Yue are good at.
Therefore, as soon as Pei Mao arrived, he immediately started rectifying the warehouses. On the one hand, he planned manpower and prepared for the autumn harvest. On the other hand, he built warehouses and prepared for storage. At the same time, he also sorted out some roads that were in disrepair. Pei Mao did not come alone, he also brought
The children of some families immediately started to make Yinshan's civil affairs affairs work in a decent and dramatic manner.
I have to say that although aristocratic families have problems of one kind or another, they are still inseparable from the children of these aristocratic families in recent years. For example, the children of aristocratic families are like those from the political and economic department of the National People's Congress. No matter how capable the common people are, they are also
There is often a big gap between those who graduate from Pheasant University, whether it is their vision, experience, or how they deal with people.
Here in Yinshan Mountain, the refugees come from many different sources, not only from various regions, but also from "good people". In addition, they are mixed with the Southern Xiongnu, so there is also some confusion. Now Pei Mao naturally can't see it, and sorted out the civilian register again.
This is not a simple matter of sorting. It also involves many rural affairs, such as widows, widows and loneliness, which must be arranged. At the same time, Pei Mao also went deep into the villages to talk to ordinary people...
Of course, this is also what officials of the Han Dynasty, such as county governors and county magistrates, should do. However, since Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty started buying and selling officials, many officials' indicators became the amount of money. As a result, from that time on, many officials
Officials only focus on amassing money, and are not interested in and do nothing about things that cannot generate financial income. Therefore, gradually no one does anything to visit people's livelihood. So now, Pei Mao, the Yinshan Prime Minister, as a Qianshi official
, it’s not bad to be able to actually squat in the field and chat with the old farmers.
Some of the Pei family's children persuaded Pei Mao, saying that being stained with mud and smelling like dirt was a test of his identity. "You should respect his authority and not talk to old farmers..."
Pei Mao actually got angry and scolded everyone, "I used to be poor in my family in the east of Hedong. I often farmed acres of land by myself. Now, no matter how high it is, the post I hold requires civil service! If I see mud, I feel it is filthy and I am afraid it will be dirty."
If you smell excrement in your shoes and socks, you will feel the smell and fear of staining your clothes. If you see an old farmer, you will feel that they are dull and fear of losing their silk and bamboo. How can you understand the sentiments of the people when you are so far away from the common people?! How can you know the opinions of the people and pass them on to others? Isn't it shameful?
You’re in a high position, but you’re in a dead position?!”
Immediately, Pei Mao drove away the disciple who said that his authority should be "respected" and did not allow him to stay in Yinshan. Regardless of whether this incident was for show or whether Pei Mao did it intentionally, at least it was like this
, Pei Mao's image among the people of Yinshan has been established, and the people of Yinshan have gradually accepted Pei Mao.
Zhao Yun observed for a period of time and secretly recorded some of Pei Mao's methods. Then he had an understanding with Pei Mao: "The strategy of riding on the field, the distribution of rent and tax, the rounds of labor, Brother Juguang needs
Thank you for your trouble... I need to prepare an army now and will be recruiting soon..."
"Going to war?" Pei Mao frowned a little. It's not that Pei Mao dared to point out military matters, but since he was going to go to war, according to the practice of the Han Dynasty, it must be necessary to transport grain and grass reserves, and to recruit civilians for labor and so on. It's not just a few words.
If it can be solved with words, it is almost like adding a lot of things to the problem. Now is the autumn harvest, no matter from that point of view, it is not easy to deal with, so Pei Maocai was a little hesitant and embarrassed.
It was the practice of the Han Dynasty that all labor services were apportioned locally. When soldiers went out into battle, even if they received one out of ten labor services, a large number of laborers would be mobilized. If the scale of the battle was larger, there might be even more people...
Zhao Yun smiled. He knew what Pei Mao was worried about, so he explained: "Brother Juguang doesn't know... This time we send out troops, most of them will be eaten by the enemy... and the Xiongnu Wuhuan will be used as two wings, so there is no need for extra civilian labor."
Whatever..."
"Sucking on the enemy? Oh, that's it!" Pei Mao suddenly realized and exclaimed in admiration. "I didn't expect that! The general is really far-sighted..."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "This is the order of the hussar, I am just following the order..."
Pei Mao immediately took over and said: "General Hussar is strategizing, which is beyond our reach!"
Zhao Yun smiled and did not continue talking about this topic, but said: "Brother Juguang probably hasn't met Chanyu yet. It's a clear day today, so how about a colleague from the same family can go visit? It will be easy to get along with him in the future..."
Pei Mao naturally agreed happily.
The two of them ordered their guards and headed west, gradually leaving the criss-crossing streets of the Han people and entering the area where some barbarian tents were located.
In recent years, the Southern Huns have gradually begun to imitate the Han people to settle down and plant crops. So along the way, Pei Mao saw many Hu people opening fields in front of and behind the tents and planting some crops. At this time, he almost entered
During the mature period, there are still some Hu people working among the crops. If you don't look at the tents and cattle and sheep sheds on the side, just look at the scene of them working among the crops, there is almost no big difference from the Han people.
When Pei Mao saw this, he couldn't help frowning and said to Zhao Yun: "How come the Xiongnu here is so heavy on agriculture and mulberry? It looks like the Han family. I'm afraid that over time, they will become the same as the Han people... If this is the case, what will happen in the future?"
…We will have no way to trade goods…”
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment. He had never considered this issue before. After hearing what Pei Mao said, he seemed to think that it made some sense. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Finally, he said: "This is a strategy for enlightenment...
…”
"Barbarians, barbarians, after all..." Pei Mao shook his head and said, "Qiaoqi's policy is too gentle... I will give you some advice after some time..."
Zhao Yun neither agreed nor objected. After all, this was Pei Mao's own business. It was also the responsibility of a serious local official to write down his ideas for General Fei Qian, so it was understandable for Pei Mao to express this.
While they were marching, suddenly a group of Hun cavalry came from a distance. When they reached three or four hundred steps, they slowed down. The leader even shouted, "But General Zhao is here?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said: "The man from Bald Rose! That's right, I'm here! Do you have any good wine there?"
Tu Guilai laughed loudly, obviously very happy with Zhao Yun's direct rudeness, and ordered to go down and report to Yu Fuluo, the Shanyu of the Southern Huns, while he stepped forward to greet him, "Let's go! Go sit in my tent first! There is something.
Good wine! There must be good wine!”
The last time Tu Geilai followed Zhao Yun Ganfeng and others to Youzhou, although they did not directly attack the territory of Youzhou, they also obtained a lot of Yuan's army's armor, swords and guns. For the Huns who did not have the ability to make metallurgical iron,
, which can be regarded as a big gain, and there was actually not much casualty along the way, so Zhao Yun was naturally very cordial and enthusiastic when he saw him.
Zhao Yun introduced Tu Guilai to Pei Mao, so they gathered together and turned to Tu Guilai's pasture. By the time they arrived at Tu Guilai's tent, Tu Guilai's tribesmen had already put down several cattle and sheep, and raised the
There were about a dozen bonfires, and many people came out carrying bags of kumiss...
Tu Gilai laughed and waved his arms: "Go and drag two more cows! Where's the wine? How can these be enough? Go get them again, get them all! Take them all out!"
Pei Mao was a little stunned.
"If our country becomes strong... that's how it will be..." Zhao Yun saw Tu Gui coming over, so he turned around and said, "Brother Juguang, sit down, you're welcome..."
Tu Guilai, who turned around, happened to hear the second half of Zhao Yun's sentence, nodded and laughed: "Yes, yes! Don't be polite, don't be polite! Come on! Drink this first! Eat some of this too. , this is not bad either!”
Pei Mao couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart, he also laughed and picked up the wine bowl, "This glass of wine is dedicated to the Qiaoqi... Well, also to your Shanyu..."
Tu Guilai also excitedly raised the wine bowl, dipped it in with his fingers, flicked it twice, as a sign of respect to heaven and earth, then raised it and shouted a Hun language, and drank it down.
After drinking a few more bowls, Tu Guilai couldn't hold it any longer and asked directly: "General Zhao, are you going to send troops again? This time to Youzhou?"
Zhao Yun came here originally to find Yu Fuluo to recruit soldiers, so after hearing Tu Gui's question, he did not hide anything and nodded and said: "Yes, what about it, are you going to go this time?"
"Of course I will follow! I must follow!" Tu Guilai patted his chest with joy, then couldn't help but stand up and shouted a few words loudly to the tribesmen on the side, which immediately attracted the attention of the tribesmen. The enthusiastic response was as if it was a New Year or a holiday, full of festive flavor.
Pei Mao looked at it with a slightly thoughtful look in his eyes.
Because the Southern Huns were stationed in scattered places, even if Tugui notified Yuvluo when he came, Yuvluo would not be able to arrive immediately, so Zhao Yun and Pei Mao came to Tugui for the time being. The tribe settled down and waited for Humphrey's arrival.
Zhao Yun drank three bowls, then stopped and started eating and drinking. When he was done eating and drinking, he told Tu Gui to take a rest. He also called a more capable drinker to accompany Tu Gui for a few rounds, and then He and Pei Mao left the bonfire dinner in Tugui.
Tu Gui came and didn't take it seriously, nor did he force Zhao Yun to fight for wine. Moreover, if he really wanted to act with Zhao Yun this time, naturally he couldn't rely solely on his drinking skills. There were still some things in the clan that needed to be prepared, so After Zhao Yun and Pei Mao left, it didn't last long. It was almost over and they dispersed, not to mention taking a rest.
Pei Mao thought about it and was still puzzled. Finally he couldn't help but ask Zhao Yun: "General Zilong, are all the Huns like this? So... some people are happy to hear the battle?"
Zhao Yun said: "That's not necessarily the case. When I went to Youzhou before, the Huns were also a little hesitant... This time, haha, they are probably just trying to drive them to their advantage..."
"What?" Pei Mao misunderstood and said with a frown, "Do you need us to provide more food and salary?"
Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Food and salary, some are given, but most of them are raised by themselves, and there is no additional allocation..." They will be given a wave when setting off, which probably means settlement expenses. As for the Huns later How much money can be earned is the Huns' own business, and they will not be given more food and grass.
"What? Is that true? In the past." Pei Mao was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Pei Mao remembered that in the fourth year of Zhongping, because Zhang Chun was not angry because he was not reused by Zhang Wen, he and some people with Zhang Ju and Wuhuan raised troops to rebel and disrupted Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liaodong.
At that time, more than 100,000 people gathered in the land and plundered everywhere. The imperial court did not have any spare troops at that time, so it marched to Hedong and recruited a group of Southern Xiongnu to cooperate in countering the rebellion. At that time, not only did they have to give the Huns a large amount of food and grass, but also the Southern Xiongnu
People don’t seem to be so excited and cooperative...
The Huns are also recruited for assistance, but the attitude of the Southern Huns seems to be completely different. What has changed? And overall, it seems that the food and wages for the Southern Huns are less, but the Huns are more
happy?
Pei Mao thought about it and couldn't calm down for a long time...
