Although they have previous experience, swallowing nearly ten thousand people in more than ten days is a huge challenge for the Daizhou and Xinzhou officials. What's more, in this era, the allocation of officials and staff at all levels of government is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty.
It was so clear in the Qing Dynasty.
Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a saying that imperial power did not go to the countryside. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when it was customary to use aristocratic families to rule places, sometimes the imperial power might not even be able to leave the county.
Of course, Daizhou is different.
There were only a few aristocratic families, and the few wealthy families moved south one after another because Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang led the Turks to invade. Since Li Shan took office, he has shown kindness several times and then resorted to thunderous methods to deal with the local powerful people very well.
As a result, the orders of the modern state governor can be implemented to the greatest extent.
Li Shan did not have many demands. First, he had to let the people who moved to Daizhou and Xinzhou survive. If they could not take care of their own food and accommodation, the local government at all levels would have to bear the responsibility. For this reason, Li Shan sent out all his guards and conducted secret inspections.
...The magistrate of Guo County, who had just taken office for two months, was scolded by Li Shan in public because of his improper handling of affairs, which led to civil unrest, killing 19 people and injuring hundreds.
Li Shan did not expect his officials to be so obedient, but to allow these relocated people to survive... He felt that this condition was not high, and the food was all allocated from military rations.
The Nao county magistrate...unfortunately, Qiguai Baguai is somewhat related to Li Shimin's concubine Yan. After calculation, among the general officials who went north to take up posts, Li Shan basically reprimanded them from the lineage of the King of Qin.
Zhang Gongjin went to Xinzhou's general manager Fang Renyu, and from General Duan Zhixuan to the Nao County magistrate.
Li Shan was also speechless, and asked Li Shan to write a letter to Yang Siyi in private. Li Shimin's concubine Yan was the niece of Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren. He also asked his bodyguard to bring the message back, and asked Li Shimin to take the trouble to pick a few who could.
Used... Historically, you ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty a few years later. It's impossible that no one will use it, right?
The second is Juntun. In fact, it is not just Juntun. Li Shan started to set up a school to teach arithmetic as early as last year. He started counting the acres in Daizhou at the end of last year. He let Zhang Gongjin officially take over a few months ago. Many people moved here this time.
It’s almost the end of February and early March. It’s already the end of February and the beginning of March. Although it’s a little late, if you rush to plant a wave, you can harvest in the autumn... After all, tax exemption is what Li Shan promised a long time ago. Without paying tax, the grain will be enough for his family.
People live hand to mouth.
In fact, Li Shan was not the first to intend to march to the camp, as some people imagined... He opened up trade routes and attracted people, so there must be a shortage of food in Daizhou.
Therefore, Li Shancai successively created Yuhuchun and Ma Yin, which are basically linked to grain. You must know that the granary near Xia City is not officially a public warehouse of the Central Government, and the grain in it is rarely allocated outside.
But this time I had to dial it out.
It seems that Daizhou is not short of food now, but sooner or later it will be short of food, not to mention that Li Shan has long made up his mind to replenish the population... So the first thing after surviving is to cultivate the land, whether it is to grant land or to
Juntun.
There are quite a lot of problems here, not enough cattle, not enough farm tools, not enough seeds... Zhang Gongjin's hair has turned gray. Li Shan sent people to various prefectures in Hedong to buy. If they couldn't buy it, they would borrow it, and if they couldn't borrow it, they would rent it.
Under this situation, almost all the subordinate officials were very busy, and Li Shan from behind almost drove them forward with a whip.
But among all the officials, big and small, there is only one person who has nothing to do, Zhang Shigui, who is ranked as the Zhonglang General of Zuowuwei, but has not been officially appointed so far.
In a house in Wutai County, Zhang Shigui looked quite calm. In fact, he didn't have much time to spare. He knew how busy Daizhou and Xinzhou were nowadays.
The most important thing is that although Zhang Shigui didn't know what the important task Li Shan was conferring, he vaguely sensed that he probably wasn't ready yet.
Footsteps sounded outside, and Zhang Gongjin, who was sweating profusely, strode in, repeatedly asked the servant to bring him cold water, drank two bowls of water in big gulps, and then sat down.
"Have you been reprimanded by the King of Handan again?" Zhang Shigui asked casually. The officials in the Tiance Mansion always had only one point of view for His Highness.
"There are five to six thousand people in the military camp alone, not including family members, how can we not make mistakes." Although Zhang Gongjin has a cautious temperament, he can't help complaining, "The King of Handan today... forget it, what he said is reasonable, but That fellow Xue Wanche is provocative today!"
"What is he here for?"
"It seems something happened in the army." Zhang Gongjin responded casually, "Brother Wu An went to Sima County in Guo County a few days ago?"
"It's not bad." Zhang Shigui nodded and said, "I met Er Zhu Zhonggui in Puzhou back then. He has a gentle temperament and is meticulous in his work. He doesn't need any help in cooking Zichong Mansion."
In the second year of Wude, Zhang Shigui followed Li Shimin across Longmen into Hedong and met Zhu Yichen in Puzhou... Coincidentally, his most dazzling achievement in that battle was to defeat He Xiaodong who tried to counterattack.
He Xiaodong was defeated and fled north, and the remnants of his army withered. Instead of following Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang entered Hedong and Yuan Junzhang came to power...
Hearing his colleagues mention Er Zhu Yichen, Zhang Gongjin nodded in agreement. They are both subordinate officials second only to the general manager of Daizhou. Acting governor Shi Lishan is the actual person in charge. He, the chief of Daizhou Bijiajia, is in charge of the army and the army, while the Sima of Daizhou at the same level Er Zhu Yichen hardly saw any action. Now he leads a small group of soldiers to garrison in Guo County and is in charge of Zhechong Prefecture.
Although it is said that the young people who moved to Daizhou were nominally the soldiers of Zhechong Prefecture, in fact, because the prefecture was often invaded in these years, it always used a standing army to guard the border. If the war was fierce or it was difficult to resist the Turks, the DPRK would He will transfer troops from the Hedong Province to the north... This is why Li Yuan set up the Bingzhou General Manager and the Daizhou General Manager in the southeast and north of Henan.
Generally speaking, among the generals who went north to take up posts, except for the second batch of Zhang Shigui who had not yet been commissioned, Er Zhu Yichen had the least real power... But today Zhang Shigui looked carefully and it seemed that the Daizhou Sima had no dissatisfaction. .
The two chatted for a few words, and suddenly there was a sound outside, and the bodyguard came in to report, "The King of Handan has summoned you."
Zhang Gongjin stood up and groaned helplessly, "Where is it again..."
The guard reminded: "There is also General Zhonglang."
"And me?" Zhang Shigui was a little surprised. Li Shan has been traveling back and forth between Dai County, Wutai County, and Nao County these days, but he has not summoned him yet.
In fact, Li Shan did not enter Wutai County, but rested in a village in Juntun. He sat on a tree stump at the entrance of the village. His lowered right hand unconsciously touched the marks of knife and axe... Obviously, this was not long ago. It was cut off just before.
It is estimated that the people who moved here cut down the bricks to build houses. Although the brick factory has been expanded again and again, and the output and quality have been greatly improved, Li Shan controlled the sales volume as early as the beginning of the year.
Most of the people who moved later could not enjoy the brick houses...but considering today's climate, there won't be any big problems within half a year.
It was just a pity. Li Shan lowered his head and took a few glances. He saw that the growth rings might be hundreds of years old... in future generations, they would have to be circled.
"Don't drive, the lieutenant is coming."
Wang Junhao's reminder came to his ears. Li Shan turned around and caught a glimpse of Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Shigui. He nodded and said, "Let Xue Wanche and Chang He come over."
"Meet the King of Handan."
"Meet the King of Handan."
Li Shan smiled and exchanged a few words of greetings, and was as friendly to Zhang Shigui as ever, but he was thinking in his heart that this guy was a little impatient... But he couldn't make the decision alone in this matter, but it was coming soon.
Logically speaking, Zhang Shigui was the commander of the Tiance Mansion before, and this time he went to Daizhou as Zuowuwei Zhonglang General, so he should join the army... But before, Duan Zhixuan was able to join the army as the deputy general manager of the cavalry, but Zhang Shigui could not.
Zhang Shigui has a lot of seniority and has been on his own several times. His official title is not lower than that of Su Dingfang, but he also has the title of Founding County Duke... At the critical moment, Su Dingfang may not be his opponent.
Obviously, Li Shan would not allow the military power of the Daizhou Army to fall by the wayside, so after leaving Yanmen Pass a few days ago, Zhang Shigui followed Li Shan around Dai County and then decided to go south and settle in Wutai County... because Su Dingfang was the garrison.
Dai County.
This shows Zhang Shigui's sincerity... he has absolutely no intention of fighting.
But Li Shan had no arrangements since then, and Zhang Shigui couldn't help but be impatient. He suddenly set off for Nao County the day before yesterday... The reason was nominally because a large number of people moved to Wutai County to help Zhu Yichen, the Sima of Dai Prefecture, sort out the military roster.
The meaning of this test is very obvious... Of course Li Shan can understand it. Zhang Shigui is saying, you speak nicely, you won't make fun of me, right?
However, although it is fast, this is not what Li Shan wants to deal with today.
Someone brought a few bar stools over. Zhang Gongjin, Zhang Shigui, Su Dingfang, Xue Wanche, Chang He and others sat on the left and right. Although their positions were different, Duan Zhixuan, who liked to stir up trouble the most, had already left, and everyone still had something to talk about.
For example, Zhang Shigui and Chang He were fellow soldiers, and even though they had different statuses during the Luoyang War, they were still considered colleagues. In particular, Zhang Shigui was the commander-in-chief of the cavalry, and Chang He was once his direct subordinate general.
Another example is that Zhang Gongjin has a good relationship with Xue Wanche's brother Xue Wanjun. Unlike Xue Wanche, Xue Wanjun has a humble temperament and has a very good relationship with his colleagues in Tiance Mansion.
Li Shan suddenly discovered that those who came to Daizhou from the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion...were all foreign generals!
In the first batch, there was an old man from Jinyang, Duan Zhixuan, but he was driven back by him. Although Zhang Shigui had seniority in the Prince of Qin's palace, he was indeed an outsider.
The Li and Tang dynasties started in Jinyang and occupied Guanzhong, but their foothold was actually unstable. The Xue family of the Western Qin Dynasty, Mayi, Liu Wu and Zhou all posed fundamental threats to this new dynasty.
Although the founding emperor Li Yuan was also a veteran general himself, looking at the Yang and Sui dynasties, he was not really an outstanding general. The old people around him were not really famous generals.
Facing the threats from Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuan had not used the old people he trusted, but the reality was before him. Those at the top of the list of Yuanmou's heroes, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, Changsun Shunde, and Liu Hongji were all defeated.
, lost troops and generals, lost divisions and lost land, the newly born Li Tang Dynasty was almost on the verge of collapse.
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin stepped forward and defeated the Western Qin Guguanzhong in a great victory in Qianshuiyuan, and regained his homeland in Hedong in the battle of Baibi. This can be said to be the luck of the Li and Tang dynasties... Looking at ancient and modern times, such a famous general who was weak in his youth,
Very few.
But then, irreversible changes took place within the Li Tang Dynasty, especially the ambitious Li Shimin who recruited all the heroes... and specifically selected talents from among the demoted generals.
In fact, the Li Tang Dynasty was able to dominate the world, and Li Shimin was able to achieve the key victory of Luoyang Hulao and conquer the Central Plains. His outstanding military ability was one of the reasons. However, without the many heroes around him, it would be difficult to win a battle.
The great deeds of two kings.
Li Shimin's de facto deputy at the time, Qu Tutong who is now in charge of Daxingtai of East Shaanxi Province, Zhang Shigui who was originally from Henan and went north to share his congeniality, Yu Chigong who was almost killed... there are too many similar people.
In fact, the four commanders of the Black Armor Cavalry, who were regarded by Li Shimin as their trump card, were all reduced generals: Zhai Changsun, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yuchi Gong.
The emergence of this situation prompted the Li and Tang dynasties to unify the world as soon as possible, and also directly caused the King of Qin's line to have no retreat, and the inevitable conflict with the East Palace.
Li Shan couldn't help but glance at Xue Wanche when he thought of this... Logically speaking, this was Luo Yi's old subordinate, and he had a long-standing quarrel with Su Dingfang. There was no way the East Palace would choose him to go north to take up the post.
Li Shan thought to himself that the problem was caused by Xue Wanche being an outsider and being ostracized by the old man of the East Palace... He once heard Ling Jing mention that Wei Zheng, who was also an outsider, was not popular among his colleagues even though the prince Li Jiancheng trusted him.
Not very good, the reviews are pretty bad.
Li Shan was thinking about something, and Zhang Shigui, who was sitting second from the left, was also thinking about something. It had been half a month since he arrived in Daizhou, and the young prince's face seemed clear, but then seemed blurry.
He has the courage to do his job, has the desire to make achievements, and is unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the legitimate family. He has a good balance between the two forces, and he is impartial and decisive.
And the methods were very impressive, from forcing Yuan Junzhang to surrender, to almost dismembering his nearly ten thousand troops a few months later, and firmly holding Mayi in his hands... not everyone can do this.
Zhang Shigui was even a little envious of Li Jing... Who would have thought that the middle-level general who was unknown a few years ago rose to become a famous general, and now that Beishan has been appointed as the general manager of Daizhou, he can inherit such a rich legacy.
While thinking about these, Li Shan suddenly smiled and said: "Now most of Duke Rui's old troops have been purged, and the cavalry who led the army to Guo County have also been reorganized by Brother Dingfang, but over there in Mayi..."
After a pause, Li Shan sighed: "The Duke of Yiyang County is old after all, and Shuozhou Sima Qin Wutong... was seriously injured that year, so Ma Yi has one less cavalryman who can lead the cavalry in battle."
"I'm willing to go!" Xue Wanche immediately shouted.
"Recording affairs to join the military..." Li Shanzuo couldn't help but laugh and cry, "What trouble are you making...Are you too busy with the matter at hand?"
"Besides, although I also think you are more suitable as a general than as a civil servant...but..."
