A powerful general must be appointed from the ranks of the soldiers, and a prime minister must be appointed from the state headquarters.
This is a sentence that Zhang Yue has always believed in, and it was also the standard for selecting prime ministers in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
In order to weaken the power of the prime minister (cabinet ministers), the Ming Dynasty chose Hanlin, who had no local official experience, as the prime minister. This was actually not a good idea.
Zhang Yue wants to turn his ideals into reality, but he can't manage even one state or county well. He might as well write novels instead of becoming an official.
At the end of September in the sixth year of Xining.
In Xizhou, Tongyuan's army ushered in a good harvest, which caused the price of food in Xizhou and Hezhou to drop from more than 400 Wenqian a dou in February and March last year to about 120 Wenqian.
Taking advantage of the low price of grain, Zhang Yue asked local government treasuries to collect grain from various places to supplement military supplies.
Gui Zhang attacked Huizhou, Hezhou, and the land west of Taoshui in the Song Dynasty. Due to the war, many people lost their crops, but the area east of Taoshui in Xizhou and the original area from Weiyuan to Tongyuan Army were not affected by the war.
So after a good harvest, and taking advantage of the slight relief of the people's power, Zhang Yue used money to hire servants to start repairing roads, laying bridges along Taoshui and Weishui, and digging canals.
Zhang Yue inspected Taohe's harvest and the mobilization of the people along the way, and was very pleased.
Six or seven years ago, the Tongyuan Army where Gu Wei was located was still a barren land, but now thousands of hectares of land have been cleared on both sides of the Wei River and Peach River. Including the land cleared this year, there will be more than 8,000 hectares of cultivated land next year. According to Zhang
The ten thousand hectares of cultivated land promised to the emperor are almost the same.
Many Shubo tribes have completed household registration and unified the people. Originally, Shubo tribes were based on clan accounts. There were hundreds of accounts for small tribes and tens of thousands for large tribes, but no one knew how many people there were in one account.
After the household registration was completed, one account was changed into one household. The number of people, names, fields, cattle and sheep of each household were all registered in the register.
Zhang Yue appointed people from the Tibetan people who were familiar with writing to carry out the task. However, the Tibetan people had little education after all, so he transferred officials from Qin Feng Road to carry out the task.
The most important thing in the household registration is the people of Qi. There are no tribal leaders, elders or slaves. Everyone is a citizen of the Song Dynasty. Except for the emperor, your status is generally equal.
For the people who accepted the household registration, they could freely enter and exit the city, and even live in the city. They could serve as officials and patrolmen, and they also had to bear taxes and labor.
After one year, nearly 200,000 Tibetan people had completed household registration, which also meant that there were 200,000 more people under the rule of Xihe Road.
As for the scattered living and Tibetan people under the rule, they must also join the clan, that is, the clan must pay lighter taxes to the Song Dynasty and obey the dispatch points of Xihe Road. This way, they can gain access to the market or trade with the Song people near Guo.
qualifications.
The bottom line is to unite the entire clan, and it must be a requirement. If you don't agree, you will be beaten. However, establishing households and integrating the people is just an encouragement.
The Tibetan people on Xihe Road have always been half-farmers and half-grazers, so those who are willing to farm are relatively easy to manage, but it is not easy for the nomadic tribes who live in pursuit of water and grass. You cannot force them.
Zhang Yue was not in a hurry, and for the time being, he gradually transformed the people of Tibet.
How to unite Fan and Han is a difficult problem.
How to manage multi-ethnic groups? Zhang Yue learned from the Khitan experience and built Buddhist temples in cities across the states on Xihe Road, allowing Zhiyuan's disciples to preach to abbots in various places. At the same time, he also learned about the situation of the local Tibetan tribes.
In this situation, religion has become a bridge of communication.
In the past, important matters of the country were discussed and sacrificed to the Rong.
This makes perfect sense. What is a country? It is the product of irreconcilable class contradictions.
What does it take to bring people from all classes and nationalities together? One is violent institutions, and the other is common ideology.
The ancestors realized this very early. The Shang Dynasty was a country where politics and religion were integrated. The king of Shang was called the king during his lifetime and the emperor after his death. The emperor was a god and the king was a human being.
Historically, when Pan Geng moved to Yin, Pan Geng, as the king of Shang, used the name of the former king to persuade the powerful officials who refused to move the capital, and used the name of the former king to emphasize that his decree was correct.
Therefore, the dignitaries below heard what the late king meant and obeyed Pan Geng.
After the Zhou Dynasty became the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Gong established rituals and music, China developed its own ideology through humanistic methods. Then it gradually stopped using grand sacrifices and emphasized the theory of ghosts and gods to unite the whole country.
But for Zhang Yue to govern the Qing, Tang, and Tibetan tribes and to achieve unity between Tibetan and Han Dynasties, he had to adopt this method.
The rule of thumb was not to kill, so Zhang Yue issued two hundred ultimatums in one year. Any conflicts between the people of Fan and Han were mediated through monks. Many times, a monk was more useful than the troops under Zhang Yue's command.
At the same time, Zhang Yue also granted official appointments to all the monks and officials in the Tibetan tribe.
…
In an alley in Chengji County, Qinzhou.
A Tibetan man dressed as a Han man with a package on his back looked around cautiously. After confirming that there was no one around him, he walked to the back door of a courtyard, waited for the door to be knocked three times, and then opened the door and entered.
The Tibetan man walked into the house, took off his clothes and hat, and waited for a while before hearing a voice saying: "Why are you here again?"
After hearing this, the Tibetan man stood up and said, "It's polite for you to be a supervisor."
The other party shook his head, moved a chair and sat down.
The room was in disrepair and all the furniture inside was old and worn. The single escort was just sitting there.
Shan Yasi asked: "How did you know this place?"
The other party said: "I heard Mu Zheng say that you are one of the few loyal people among the Han people."
Shan Yasi frowned and said: "Mu Zheng... Yes, I have done things for him before, but that was before. Now that he has returned to the Song Dynasty, he can be regarded as a wise man who understands the current affairs. So the things that happened back then are also written off."
Now, treat me as if I have never been to this place, and don’t come to me again.”
The other party laughed and said: "Why should Danasi leave in a hurry? Our Tibetan Lord heard from me that Danasi once worked for Mu Zheng and admired you very much, so I gave you some gifts."
Shan Yasi said: "This has happened over many years... Why mention him..."
The other party opened the baggage and said, "Please ask the superintendent to take a look at it."
Shan Yasi looked at it and it turned out to be a bag of jewelry.
Seeing this scene, Dan Oshi's expression softened and he said: "Your King Fan is the new leader of the Guizhang Department, Biansi Bojie, right? What does he want me to do for him with so many jewels?"
The other party smiled and said: "It is true that Shan Yasi knows everything, so I don't want to hide it. When Wang Shao and Zhang Yue led their troops to attack Xizhou and Hezhou, Mu Zheng asked the Yasi to send news to the capital and what the two generals did.
What they did was spread throughout Tokyo, making the ministers and the emperor jealous of the two of them. Today our Tibetan lord wants the governor to do the same thing as before."
"As for the reward, we are twice as much as Mu Zheng! We must force the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to become suspicious of Zhang Yue and transfer him away!"
Dan Oshi said: "Yes, I have some acquaintances in Tokyo, but the risk of doing this is not small. Is Zhang Duzhi today comparable to two years ago?"
"What about Ashito?"
The single mortgage officer said: "I can find a way for you, but you have to pay more!"
