The Han Dynasty implemented a three-level system of states, prefectures, and counties. The world was divided into thirteen states, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jizhou, and Sizhou
Among them, the three states of Hebei are Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou, the four states of the Central Plains, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou. Jiangnan is the boundary of Yangzhou, Lingnan has Jiaozhou, Xiliang has Liangzhou, Liu Biao controls Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang occupies Yizhou. Your Majesty
The Luoyang Hanoi generation was called Sizhou.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the administrative seat of the state began to be fixed. In the first year of Jianwu, Jizhou was divided into nine counties: Xindu, Changshan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Qinghe, Zhaoguo, Julu, Bohai, and Wei.
Thirteen counties are Du, Fucheng, Fuliu, Nangong, Jing, Wuyi, Guanjin, Tangyang, Wusui, Xiabo, Raoyang, Anping and Shenze. The two-level administrative offices of Xindu County and Xindu County are the capital
In Xindu. During the Yanguang period, the state's administrative seat was in Xindu, and the areas under its jurisdiction did not change.
Yuan Shao drove Han Fu away and stayed in Xindu. This place is not too far from Fan Yang, the seat of Youzhou, and Jinyang, the seat of Bingzhou. It can cut off the connection between Liu Yu of Youzhou and Zhang Yan of Bingzhou. Now the army is ready.
It is also more certain to attack Youzhou from Xindu, the road is closer, and the supply of food and grass is more convenient.
Long Fei crossed the Yellow River and entered the territory of Jizhou. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jizhou has experienced many things. Han Fu went out to conquer Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao and Han Fu fought. But none of them affected the edges of Jizhou. Also because of the Yellow River
Due to the barrier, Yanzhou's beacon fire did not burn here. The people here rarely lived in peace for a few years.
However, the bad nature of feudalism has caused a big problem. All the land is controlled by the landlords and gentry, and the people who work in the fields all day are completely unqualified to control the amount of grain harvested. In famine years, the landlords will
All of them are used to pay for land rent. In good years, in order to ensure maximum benefits, land rent increases. Various government taxes will not decrease at all whether it is a famine year or a good harvest year. In order to quickly occupy the entire Hebei, Yuan Shao continued to increase taxes, even if
The people around Xindu were also hungry.
All the way across the river from Mengjin, through Weijun, Guangping, Julu, and into Xindu. Long Fei was in a bad mood. Although Yuan Shao heard that Long Fei was coming in person, he immediately ordered all the counties he passed to be safe.
Hospitality must not disgrace Yuan Shao. Every day, officials from various counties and counties cheered and flattered each other. It seemed that Long Fei was their master. But when he saw the people begging in the streets with dull eyes, Long Fei was
These officials looked disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
Long Fei came from the countryside and knew what the people needed in life. But the naked ugliness of these officials still made him angry. There have been corrupt officials in all dynasties, and it cannot be said that all officials in the world are like Bao Zheng.
Hai Rui, who is as selfless and upright as he is, cannot be like Jiao Yulu and Yang Shanzhou, who are as gentle and dedicated to the people. Being an official is actually a profession. Since you have received your salary, you must be worthy of your money. Long Fei did not ask these officials to dedicate themselves.
It’s okay to be greedy! If you are greedy, you must do things well, do things to the satisfaction of everyone, and do things that are worthy of your own conscience.
"Just like a master, there are like servants!" Long Fei sighed, hid in the carriage and never came out, leaving all matters to Guo Jia and Chen Dao to handle.
As soon as they entered the territory of Jizhou, Guo Tu stood up and said goodbye. He had to rush back and report to Yuan Shao first. This Guo Tu was very good at digging camps, and he was definitely well-versed in all kinds of things. When he was in Wancheng, he liked this Guo Tu a little.
But seeing the current situation in Jizhou, I still feel that people like Xun Yu who are not good at talking or laughing and who follow the rules are better.
Along the way, someone would take him off here and pick him up when he entered. He didn't have to worry about anything at all, and arrived at Xindu happily. Xindu has been the seat of Jizhou for decades, and it can be regarded as the most prosperous place in Jizhou.
Common people and business travelers coming and going walked side by side with Long Fei's people on the official road, walking in a hurry and looking exhausted. Occasionally, Long Fei would ask one or two about the situation in Xindu. These people all shook their heads and sighed, of course.
There were also some who said good things, but it was for the sake of the face of the Fourth and Third Duke of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao did not come. Guo Tu led a group of people to greet him at the city gate. The scene was grand. Thousands of people gathered at the city gate, with flags everywhere and noisy drum music. It was completely prepared according to the honor guard of the three princes. Guo Tu personally
He led Long Fei's horse and helped Long Fei get out of the car. He introduced the officials of Jizhou to Long Fei one by one. Whether they recognized him or not, these people all smiled and saluted Long Fei, regardless of their official position.
The place where they lived was also arranged by Yuan Shao. It was in a manor in the west of the city. It was said that it was the residence of the richest family in Xindu. In order to win over Long Fei, Yuan Shao specially came to persuade him and got a house for Long Fei and others to live in.
When the carriage arrived in front of the mansion, Long Fei was not only surprised, but also couldn't help but praise: "What a grandeur! The palace back then was just like this. Isn't this family afraid of beheading?"
Guo Tu smiled: "The general is joking. The gate of this palace is one foot, nine feet and nine inches high. The gate tower is two feet, nine feet and nine inches high. The four sides are only five feet, nine feet and nine inches. It cannot be compared with the palace at all, even with the governor.
The mansion and the prefect’s mansion are just one inch short of each other!”
Long Fei shook his head: "You are really thoughtful!"
The mansion was wide on all sides, with white walls and green tiles. Both the repair craftsmanship and the materials used were the best at that time. The black door was open, and two handsome young men stood at the foot of the steps.
Guo Tu quickly introduced: "General Long, this is Chief Qu Liang, and Zhen Yan is the real owner of this house. This is Zhen Yan's third brother Zhen Yao. These two are the most trusted people by the general.
In the near future, we may even become in-laws with the general."
"Zhen?" Long Fei was stunned: "Zhen? Zhen Mi's surname?"
Zhen Yan never expected that Long Fei would know his little sister's name when they met for the first time, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Guo Tu was also surprised, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while. Long Fei knew that he had revealed the plot again,
He quickly laughed and said: "I have heard of such a saying, Jiangnan Xiaoqiao, Hebei Zhenmi is pretty! Xiaoqiao is talking about the two daughters of the former Taiwei Qiao Xuangong. Hebei Zhenmi may have something to do with you two, right?"
Zhen Yao nodded quickly: "The general is right, Zhen Mi is my sister-in-law!"
Guo Tu's mind buzzed, and he immediately felt happy. The second Qiao from Jiangnan was kidnapped back to Wancheng after Long Fei's trip. Although he also put some effort into Yuan Shao, it seemed that Yuan Shao
He didn't take it to heart. God helped him, he didn't expect such a thing. He chuckled and said: "General Long is indeed an expert! The second Qiao and the Zhen Mi of the Zhen family are both the most beautiful women in the world.
In the world, only heroes like generals are worthy."
Zhen Yan glanced at Guo Tu and didn't know what he wanted to do. He quickly said: "Master Guo has forgotten. My little sister has been betrothed to the second young master. Are you kidding me!"
"Oh!" Guo Tu pretended to be stunned: "Look at my bad mouth, how could I forget this matter for a moment, sin, sin, it seems that General Long does not have this blessing, hehehe..." Guo Tu laughed loudly.
, seems to want everyone around to hear.
Entering Zhen's house, there was a courtyard that had been tidied up, and servants and supplies were all ready. After talking to Guo Tu, Zhen Yan, and Zhen Yao, several people stood up to leave. Guo Jia remained silent until he saw
Several people left. Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Lord, it seems that there are dangers everywhere this time!"
"How can I see it?"
Guo Jia smiled: "This Guo Tu has no good intentions. My lord, please be careful!"
Of course Long Fei could see that although Guo Tu was still like a Maitreya Buddha as before, there were obvious changes in his actions and words. Long Fei nodded: "Tell brothers, don't cause trouble! Stay safe in Xindu
Stay for a while and then we’ll leave!”
Long Fei's idea was good, but conspiracies always appear when you don't want him to appear. Guo Tu settled Long Fei and returned to the yamen to report to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was in a good mood. He was trying on the big shoes that had just been sent to him.
Wearing general robes, several servants were attending to it. The wives, concubines and two sons on the side were admiring it and saying words of praise. Yuan Shao felt more and more comfortable as he listened.
As soon as Guo Tu walked in, he immediately smiled and said: "Oh! My lord is so majestic in these clothes, he is worthy of the title of general!"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "I think so too!" He waved his hand and asked the servants to go down. He rolled up his sleeves and walked back and forth twice. It was so beautiful. As he walked, he asked Guo Tu: "Is everything settled? Long Fei
Are you satisfied?"
Guo Tu smiled: "Long Fei is a boy of unknown origin. He enjoys such treatment. The master is so polite to him. How can he be dissatisfied! It's just..."
"Just what?" Yuan Shao was still admiring his appearance in the bronze mirror, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt good about it.
"It's just that I don't think Long Fei should be placed in the Zhen family!"
"Oh? Why is this? Didn't you say that we were arranged at Zhen's house in the first place? What's wrong with it?"
Guo Tu quickly knelt down and said, "This time, I made my lord a general. I originally wanted the imperial court to send important ministers, but I didn't expect that Long Fei actually volunteered. His subordinates didn't think there was anything wrong at all. The arrangement at Zhen's house was also to show off.
My lord attaches great importance to the imperial court, but who would have thought that this Long Fei has another purpose! My subordinate was negligent for a moment, so please punish me!"
"Is there another purpose? What is it?"
Guo Tu glanced at Yuan Xi and said with some reluctance: "Long Fei said this as soon as he heard it was the Zhen family, the big and small Qiao in the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful Zhen Mi in Hebei!"
"What?" Yuan Xi was furious immediately: "What is Long Fei going to do?"
Guo Tu said nothing. Yuan Shao chuckled: "What's this? It means that my son's wife is the most beautiful in the world!"
"My lord, that's ridiculous!" Guo Tu said hurriedly: "My lord, does he know where the two young men and women in the south of the Yangtze River are now? They were all brought back to Wancheng by Long Fei. He compared the two young men and women with Miss Zhen Mi. His purpose is clear. Master, don't you
Dare you be careless! If this Long Fei is really..."
"He dares!" Yuan Xi's eyes widened: "If he dares to touch Zhen Mi, he will never leave Hebei!"
