The first thousand six hundred and seventy-four chapters are unfounded
March·Suburbs of Xilingzhou
The golden breeze blows coolly, it's autumn again, the fields are covered with golden rice, a group of horse-drawn carriages are marching on the field ridge, without any flags, the cavalry clearing the road have shiny armor, bright robes, and strong spiritual energy, all of which are perfect for practicing Qi.
Taoist soldiers, and with a trace of murderous intent, making passers-by fearful and avoid them.
Due to the troubled times, the caravan guards did have some elites, but the speed was very slow when fully loaded with goods. However, this convoy moved very fast, and it was not a caravan. There were even officials and people coming to greet them along the road, and they followed respectfully all the way.
See you off until you leave the country.
"Which government team is this?"
"Which government is there now? The emblem on the armor is that of the Han army, but this person doesn't seem to be going to war..."
"Even for protection, twenty riders are too few. It's strange... aren't you afraid of the danger of encountering wandering warriors..."
"Maybe the master himself is powerful..."
"Hey, did you see it? There are women inside, could they be the family members of high-ranking officials?" Someone with sharp eyes saw a red girl riding a black horse in the middle of the team. She was young and beautiful. She was veiled and looked inconspicuous at first glance, but her manners were calm and elegant, and her behavior was
Modesty and sensitivity, she has a temperament that is different from local girls.
Due to her keen sense of gaze, the girl in red looked back if she felt something, and then turned to talk to the short and stocky man riding a horse beside her. She smiled sweetly and looked very happy every time she received a response.
Sometimes the man would talk to the local officials who came to greet him, and she would quietly ride back to a carriage in the middle of the convoy. Occasionally, she would open the window and talk inside. Most of the time, her eyes would turn to the scenery on both sides of the road.
She felt refreshed and happy in the harvest wilderness.
The vast expanse of rice waves surges as far as the eye can see, looking like a golden ocean under the noon sun. The scenery is a bit monotonous, but many farmers are busy and lively to fill it up. The girl in red also feels infected by this passionate interest in life.
The weather is good, which makes it easy to work. Many rice fields have been harvested. The straw piles are piled up and placed in the open space. They are not arranged neatly and have a natural feeling.
It was still some distance from Xilingzhou City, and the convoy would pass by the village from time to time. She saw the harvested and threshed rice spread evenly on the open space of the village. The gold shone under the scorching sun, and the whole world was filled with warmth.
Fragrant grain smell.
"Good Harvest... The local government has prepared the seventh ceremony to sacrifice heaven and earth. However, if we did it the first six times, natural disasters still occur frequently, and we don't know how effective it will be. I would like to ask Governor Cao..." The person who asked the question was careful and listened carefully.
After reading the storyteller's "Biography of the Heroes of the Han Dynasty", I was deeply impressed by Cao Mengde's evil reputation. Now that I saw the real person and felt the powerful fairy spirit emanating from him, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
"The effect is there, don't worry, new real people will be sent down in a few days. You go back and wait for notification."
While Cao Cao was casually giving instructions, he looked back and saw the girl in red in a daze, followed her gaze, and his expression became serious.
Ordinary farmers are busy harvesting rice in the fields, and peasant women are helping with the work. Even families lacking manpower and their whole family are working together. Sweat drips onto the dry and yellowed soil. When the sun shines, the sweat stains sting the back.
, some old people stooped and knocked on their backs hard, but continued to work, while the children followed and picked up the ears of rice.
Seeing this, the local official hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Recently, there have been more laborers mobilized for disaster relief in various places, and there is a shortage of manpower."
"It's okay, you did a good job, this is not your fault!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and did not mean to blame for trivial matters: "Based on the first-hand situation I just learned about, the reaction between cities and villages is very different, and it is most obvious here."
No matter how worried the scholars in the city are about the country and the people, the sky is falling, the earth is falling, and the new dynasty has been replaced, the farmers in the village only know that the government has stopped fighting recently and has stopped recruiting young men. The children who were soldiers in the past have been returned to help with the farm work, and even their clothes have been brand new.
, he also brought back a few kilograms of salted fish and rice noodles from the East China Sea as severance pay, and praised the kindness of the King of Han in his mouth. Intentionally or unintentionally, the first impression remembered His Majesty the King of Han as equal to salted fish and rice noodles... The standard people regard food as their first priority.
And being busy also leaves no time for distractions.
No one sleeps on the bed like a dead dog tired from working every day, and can still have time to think about the changes in the world ten years from now. Even if there is no catastrophe in this world, survival is still realistic and difficult.
What the leisurely scholars saw was that the Han fleet's coercion shocked the mainland. Since the last time the King of Han and Emperor Cai greeted each other, they had been asking the princes to surrender and hand over their power.
The connotations that the Han Dynasty had accumulated for more than ten years and continuously developed into Yang finally exerted a terrifying effect. Every person who became Yang was a talent chosen for the moment. They may lack resources in terms of strength. In this world of immortality,
It cannot be seen in the world, but when used to govern the people, it is really easy.
Hundreds of officials are deployed to one state, and in conjunction with the recovery of local officials, the youth system can be implemented and the government reformed. However, hundreds of people in the world only need 100,000 people.
With this small amount of manpower, the Han Dynasty could handle it all at once!
Immediately, changes visible to the naked eye took place. The conflicts and wars in various places ceased. Although the changes in the earth's atmosphere became more frequent, the number of recent deaths from natural disasters was more than half that of those who died from man-made disasters in the same period a few years ago... In fact, this is also the time of autumn.
, the tradition that spring and autumn are originally suitable for the use of troops, may not be obvious at another time.
For the immortals, the changes were even more obvious. One state after another was brought under the control of the Han State. Originally, according to historical experience, this kind of change, which was not a revolution but a concession, would retain a large number of remnants of the original regime. However, the changes in Dragon Qi cannot be concealed.
people.
It is normal for the Tianzhu to get higher and higher. What is more obvious is that the dragon bed gradually turns green.
This is a sign of the implementation of the Qing system.
"How is it possible?" The most difficult thing is to implement the reform of the system. It is precisely because it has a history of three thousand dynasties that the immortals are even more surprised.
But most people don't think about this kind of calculation problem. They only aggregate the quarterly statistical data from various exchange offices to the Trade Wind platform, and then publish the comparative data from previous years in newspapers, which triggers an uproar among the people.
Even if scholars have a broader vision, agricultural society is limited to traditional information circulation and a conservative and closed place. Not all scholars can have an overall awareness. In other words, most scholars only see a part of the world related to their own profession.
With three acres of land, many people realized for the first time that the rule of the King of Han was so-called fierce and lenient, and many people accepted it at once.
It turns out that human beings themselves are far more capable of causing harm than nature. This corresponds to the old saying in Chinese custom that "tyranny is fiercer than a tiger."
In the bloody battle between the two camps in the Great Tribulation, the evil was far more than the Dark Emperor. Many of the sacrifices were made in vain at the hands of one's own people, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.
However, the ground attacks of the Han State were carried out in a way that rarely involved blood, or in many ways, in a way that killed people without seeing blood. The minimum resistance was to annex and advance westward. In the Qianjing River Basin where the Tu and Germany were strong, they still stopped at the two states of Ying and Hunan, but in Chimai.
The powerful Lingqing River Basin has advanced to the West Lingzhou area - Chimai acquiesced to this change and even cooperated with Ji Sui to manage it when the Han Dynasty was temporarily short of manpower for direct administration. However, he felt a little strange that the King of Han was racing against time and was too hasty.
Can't we just go step by step in two years?
Many Tude vassal states that originally had Huang Veins penetrated into the Lingqing River area were double-pushed, and their appeals were fruitless, so they had no choice but to give up their territory, feeling aggrieved. What about the Han Kingdom temporarily taking over the northeastern region? This
It's about to sweep half of the wall, so urgent?
Could it be another case of the King of Han spreading doubts?
It must be said that Ye Qing's history confuses many people.
However, among the core Han officials such as Cao Cao, although they knew the underlying reasons for His Majesty's actions, most of the arrangements were handled by them and passed on power. Many clues showed that - there was such a rush!
No matter how outsiders react, Qingmai's strategy is unstoppable within this region, and the Han Dynasty is accelerating its pace of transformation, even at the cost of giving up some interests, and even at the expense of sacrifices with less blood to speed up integration - for some
The special method of conquest and assimilation of the national system once started for eight hundred years, and the afterglow was based on the historical experience of the Qin and Han Dynasties. For the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty, now the immortals of Qingzhi Destiny and light and heavy industry are working together, and they will only be more confident.
And after experiencing various reasons such as world annihilation, the Han officials who were parachuted to Xinfu Prefecture and County showed a calm attitude from the inside out, which made the people below feel uneasy - the so-called humane tradition.
When the sky falls, there are tall people holding it up. The adults are sticking to the front line like this. What else do the small officials and officials below have to say?
"Mr. Governor, will the autumn harvest be handled as in previous years?" Some officials were worried about asking other questions. They felt that there were so many prefectures and counties, but Governor Cao chose this place to inspect, and it was implicitly catching up with the typical ones. How could he not feel the smell?
perturbed?
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "The same, no matter how bad the environment is, food must be eaten and fields must be cultivated... Major national events, including military affairs and sacrifices, and the ceremony of worshiping heaven must continue, even more grandly, because this may
The last time...it will no longer be this heaven when we offer sacrifices again."
He is a newly promoted true immortal. To the immortal world, he is a pawn, but to mortals, he is the spokesman for the rules of heaven and earth. When he said this, the local officials looked at each other and couldn't help but feel heavy.
Zeng Muzhi, the county governor who came to greet him, happened to hear this and sighed: "What the governor said is true. The Han Dynasty has always respected heaven and the concept of respecting the unity of heaven and man, but it also has fatal flaws... If this
Everything has changed, what will be the result?"
"Mo Zhi came just in time."
Cao Cao waited until the other party came closer, nodded and said: "The story of unfounded worries tells people's simple understanding that the sky will never change, but everything is changing, and the world cannot last forever, let alone people... His Majesty told us that life itself is
It is part of the laws of the world, but survival is not a matter of course, death is the norm."
These words made the officials below turn pale and the atmosphere was silent.
