The first thousand two hundred and fifty-seven chapters Silla New Deal
Zhang Qiu'an met King Guo Song of Jin in Hanzhou City. The day he arrived happened to be the last day of the army's five-day rest. Zhang Qiu'an was a little surprised to see that the camp was full of joy and lights were decorated everywhere. This was in
What to celebrate?
The general Yang Meng who greeted him smiled and said: "This is for the soldiers. A few days ago, tens of thousands of soldiers married Silla women as wives, so the camp must be decorated more festively."
Although Zhang Qiu'an was a little shocked, he was very happy when he thought about it. He understood King Jin's intention to keep tens of thousands of soldiers in Silla. As the highest political official in Silla, this was of course a good thing that he could only hope for. How many soldiers could he want?
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Jin army became common people of Silla, and they would have the confidence to control Silla.
At this time, Zhang Qiu'an saw His Highness the Prince of Jin standing in front of the tent with a smile. He felt warm in his heart and hurriedly greeted him, "I'd like to see you, Your Highness!"
Guo Song smiled happily and said, "It's really a relief to see the Prime Minister in a foreign country!"
"The ministers are all looking forward to His Highness' return!"
Guo Song nodded, "It shouldn't take long. The Silla campaign went more smoothly than I expected. If we win Silla, we will have to rely on the Prime Minister to govern Silla in the future."
Zhang Qiu'an asked the officials to pay tribute to the King of Jin. Guo Song encouraged them and asked Du Yingxing to take them to eat and rest."
Zhang Qiu'an followed Guo Song into the big tent. Guo Song also left Lu You'an and Yang Meng behind. The two of them would be Zhang Qiu'an's assistants in the future. They were both civil and military, and they were regarded as core figures.
Everyone came to a temporary Silla sand table. Guo Song pointed at the sand table and said: "First we have to restore the territory of the Han Dynasty. To the north of the Han River is Lelang County, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and is also under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate.
In the future, I plan to rename Lelang County to Lezhou.
The Silla Kingdom is limited to the south of the Han River, and its capital is still in Jinzhou. I hope that in thirty years, the Silla Kingdom will gradually disappear. But let’s not be impatient. Let’s take it step by step. First, we will continue to maintain the Silla Kingdom, and at the same time, we will establish a new country.
Governor Luo's Mansion.
Ten years later, Silla Kingdom will be just a false name. The following states will be under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. The king of Silla Kingdom will always be concurrently held by the emperor. It can be abolished after thirty years."
Zhang Qiu'an pondered for a while and said: "Wei Chen is considering dividing the people of Silla, for example, establishing a threshold. If you reach this threshold, you can enjoy many benefits, such as three coarse shops, tax exemptions, and allotment of Yongye fields. It can be seen that
The benefits will make everyone envious, and then they will naturally work hard in this direction and be proud of obtaining this qualification."
Lu Youan also said: "Wei Chen also suggested improving the status of Silla merchants. Merchants value profits. Their gain will only make Silla more integrated with us."
Guo Song nodded, "You all have the right ideas. Let me make three points. First, we need to establish a nationality system. For example, they can now be called Tang nationality. If they obtain Tang nationality, they will become human beings.
People, this is just like the threshold Zhang Xiangguo mentioned just now.
Of course, Sankudian is a general welfare, and the people at the bottom can also enjoy it. It should not be linked to Tang nationality, but we must use our coins. If you obtain Tang nationality, you can be tax-free, get Yongye fields, wear clothes, ride horses, and be an official.
, you can live in a big house and wear clothes of other colors, but obtaining Tang nationality is not based on how much money you have, but on sending your children to school, actively participating in various activities organized by the government, declaring allegiance to the court and the emperor, and recognizing yourself as a
The people of the Tang Dynasty should take the initiative to speak Chinese and believe in Buddhism devoutly."
Zhang Qiu'an and Lu Youan listened very attentively, but King Jin's last words made them both stunned for a moment. Zhang Qiu'an asked: "Your Highness, what does it mean to be a devout Buddhist?"
Guo Song smiled slightly and said: "Promoting Buddhism is my second opinion. You must not underestimate the power of religion. If schools are education for children, then Buddhist temples are brainwashing adults. Buddhist temples will make believers
It is believed that they came from the Tang Dynasty in their previous lives. As long as they do good deeds and have compassion in this life, they will return to China in the next life. In addition, believing in Buddhism will give them the opportunity to learn Chinese and make them more identified with the Tang Dynasty."
Zhang Qiu'an nodded, "Your Highness is right, I understand it completely. I wonder what your third opinion is?"
"The third point of view is unification. Wear the same clothes, speak the same language, use the same coins, and practice the same customs. It is 'cars on the same track and books on the same text'. I hope that in five years' time, this will be said in the land of Silla
It is in official language, written in official documents, the same money is used, and the various living customs of the people are no different from those in our Central Plains area."
.........
Early the next morning, Zhang Qiu'an officially resigned from his position as Deputy Prime Minister of the Government Hall and Minister of War, accepted Guo Song's appointment, and served as the Prime Minister of Silla, taking charge of Silla's government affairs. At the same time, the Andong Protectorate was restored, and was headed by
The crown prince, Guo Jincheng, took over the post of the Protector of Andong, Zhang Qiu'an became the Protector of Andong, and Yang Meng became the Governor of Silla, commanding an army of 30,000 to be stationed in Silla.
The new chief officials of each state and county in Xinluo have also been determined. They are all officials from Chang'an. Each of them brings several followers and 500 soldiers to take office in various places. Hundreds of young scholars go together as the officials' followers.
When they take office, they are not only responsible for running schools, but also become the right-hand assistants of local officials.
After Guo Song assigned the officials, he led an army of 100,000 people to the north to continue the campaign against Zhu Tao, while 20,000 naval troops continued to go north by boat.
Zhang Qiu'an led more than a hundred officials and civil servants and followed the 20,000 troops led by Yang Meng to Jinzhou City. The 20,000 troops had just married Silla wives, and their wives also followed their newlywed husbands back.
Arriving at Jinzhou City, tens of thousands of people arrived in a mighty and powerful manner.
Yang Meng first ordered the army to set up two large camps outside the city, one for soldiers and one for family members. They had to wait for Zhang Qiu'an to allocate houses and land to them.
Zhang Qiu'an, escorted by 500 soldiers, arrived at the palace with more than 100 officials. The palace was already empty, and all valuables had been robbed. If Zhu Ye hadn't wanted to use it as his own palace, he would have been robbed.
The arrogant Donghu soldiers burned the ground to white ground.
The palace ladies ended up in a good place after suffering many hardships. Basically, they all married Jin soldiers. The front part of the palace is the Silla court room, which is currently closed. The building complex opposite the palace is the regent's palace, which is used as the Jin king's military office.
Li Yantai, the military judge, is temporarily responsible for maintaining order in Jinzhou City.
According to Guo Song's arrangement, the Silla Royal Palace was changed to the Silla Royal Palace, the front part of the government office was renamed the Silla Government Affairs Department, where the Prime Minister of Silla handled government affairs, and the Regent's Palace directly opposite was changed to the Silla Governor's Office, which served as a military government office.
Judge Li Yantai handed over the control of Jinzhou City to Zhang Qiu'an at the Silla Government Affairs Department. Zhang Qiu'an officially took office, and Lu Youan became the deputy prime minister. They appointed officials, miners, departments, finance, rituals, punishments, workers, and warehouses.
The officials of the Eighth Department recruited a group of old Silla officials who could speak Chinese in the city and put them in charge of specific affairs. They began to count the grain and grass supplies in the warehouses, and conduct an inventory of the population, land, and houses.
Yang Meng was also listed in the Governor's Mansion and took office as the first Governor of Silla, taking over the power of defense and public security.
According to the division of labor, Zhang Qiu'an is responsible for the government affairs of the entire nine states of Silla, but now, he has to put Jinzhou City into operation first.
At this time, Zhang Qiu'an was very grateful to Zhu Ye's predecessors for planting trees. He killed all the Silla nobles and scholar-bureaucrats, so that there was no obstacle to their exercise of power and it was very smooth.
The first step for Zhang Qiu'an is to continue to provide gruel to maintain the basic survival of the people in the city. The second step is to find out the family's financial situation. In fact, they don't need to count the warehouse materials anymore. The army has already done the counting before, and has already put the account books and
The supplies were handed over to them.
The key is the land and houses. There are a large number of manors near Jinzhou City, which are the lands of Silla nobles. Not only near Jinzhou City, there are countless manors all over Silla. After the nobles were wiped out, these
All the land was returned to the government. Zhang Qiu'an couldn't take care of the land that was too far away for the time being. He wanted to sort out the land near Jinzhou City first and then distribute it to the soldiers. This was also a problem that His Highness the King of Jin asked him to solve first.
"Minister of the State, this is the latest land survey catalog from last year, as well as a land distribution map, which is very convenient!" Lu You'an placed a thick stack of land and estate information on Zhang Qiu'an's desk.
The catalogs come in pieces, each piece is about the size of a newspaper, is punched and tied with hemp rope, and is about an inch thick.
The first twenty or so copies are all of Huangzhuang. The terrain is drawn on the map. There are mountains and villages around it. Then the scope of Huangzhuang is carefully outlined with a pen. The land data is marked next to it. Sixty hectares. This should be the largest one.
The manor.
"Director Yang has already taken people to check. It will take some time to confirm each one. I estimate it will take at least a month."
Time is not a problem, the problem is the amount of land. The King of Jin ordered that each soldier should be given 300 acres of Yongye field and three acres of homestead land. However, Silla had 30,000 soldiers left, and nine acres of Yongye field land alone would be needed.
One million acres, that is, 90,000 hectares of land, is definitely not enough for Jinzhou City, and it will have to be evacuated to various states.
Zhang Qiu'an said: "I think it would be better if some of them stay in Jinzhou City and some go to the states, so that it will be more balanced."
Lu Youan thought for a while and said, "But it will take time to evacuate to various states!"
"I know that evacuation will take time, and it will take at least half a year. It would be unreasonable for their family members to live in tents all the time. We must first find a temporary residence for them in the city."
After a pause, Zhang Qiu'an asked again: "Have the houses in the city started to be cleaned up?"
"It has already started. Let's start with the nobles' mansions. We found that many nobles' mansions are occupied by people."
"Why?"
Zhang Qiu'an asked in confusion: "Weren't all the nobles in Jinzhou City killed? It is said that even the children were not spared. How come there are still people living in their mansion?"
