Han Dao world

Liu Xie frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang again.

Mrs. Zhang's words seem to be respectful, but they are actually saying that Wang Duan has no tutor.

When his uncle Wang Bin passed away, Wang Duan was already an adult.

It seems that Mrs. Zhang regards herself as a doorman, and looks down on Wang Duan and Mrs. Wang from the bottom of her heart.

"I think he's telling the truth." Liu Xie said lightly, "I just heard that when you presided over the housework, you cooperated with the prime minister and the county magistrate to save the land, and acted decisively and with a manly air. This is what I express. Brother can't reach it."

Zhang's cheeks twitched, but he hesitated to speak.

She didn't take the initiative to cooperate with Du Tian, ​​but was forced to help.Wang Duan was left by the emperor, so she dared not confront Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang head-on, she could only cooperate.Now the emperor praised her as a man in front of countless people, and took the initiative to cooperate with Du Tian, ​​what would others think?

But she really didn't have the courage to refute the emperor face to face.

I don't know why, but she just feels that she lacks confidence.

Liu Xie turned around and said to Ma Yunlu: "Yanzhao is heroic, and women don't give in to men. If you want to expand the women's camp, this may be a good opportunity."

Ma Yunlu understood. "The concubine has exactly this intention. The concubine thinks that Mrs. Zhang is very suitable. She is not only a famous minister, but also a relative of the emperor. Especially this mighty and unyielding aura, the concubine likes it very much. I also hope that the lady will not give up. Jizhou women set an example and join the army enthusiastically."

Chapter 953

Almost instantly, Zhang made a decision.

The first time she saw the female rider, she was moved by it.Now that Ma Guiren personally asked her to join the women's camp, she couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

If it was just emotional, rationality would not allow her to refuse.

Now the emperor is still praising her for cooperating with the imperial court in saving the land, and praising her as a hero among women, so Ma Yunlu came forward to recruit her.If she refuses to cooperate and insists on tearing her face apart, the emperor will not be so polite.

As Zhang Yu's granddaughter, she knows very well what kind of power the emperor has.

And the news that kept coming in made her clear that the emperor in front of her was stronger and more ruthless than Emperor Xiao'an.

Yuan Shao and Shen Pei were not his opponents, they were forced to commit suicide, how could a woman be his enemy.

"Although the concubine is dull, it is a blessing for the family to be favored by the nobleman. How can I refuse it." Zhang smiled and bowed to Ma Yunlu. "I will ask you to give me more advice in the future."

Ma Yunlu supported Mrs. Zhang with both hands, and said with a smile: "Then first, please ask Madam to introduce you to the heroes of Zhao Guo."

"This is a concubine's honor." Mrs. Zhang bowed her knees again to salute Liu Xie, and then led Ma Yunlu to meet the family members of other officials.

Wang Duan was tongue-tied and his expression was dull.

He knew his wife's temper, and he was always worried that she would speak rudely in front of the emperor.When she answered the emperor's message just now, he was so nervous that his legs went weak and he almost sat on the ground.

At this moment, seeing Mrs. Zhang being so pure and gentle, he couldn't believe his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled, or simply dreaming.

Knowing that Ma Guiren was accompanying him, most of the officials who were qualified to meet him brought their wives and daughters to accompany him.Like Mrs. Zhang, seeing so many cavalrymen and feeling the majesty of the emperor, they were overwhelmed.But it was the heroic female cavalry who caught their eyes the most. Inexplicably, they had a little more admiration for Ma Yunlu, and they even had a little more affection for the emperor.

There are tens of millions of men in the world, how many of them respect women as much as the Son of Heaven?

Seeing Mrs. Zhang leading Ma Yunlu over, they greeted her one after another, bowing and saluting.

For a while, the warbler laughed and laughed, and there was a lot of joy.

Liu Xie was not idle either. Yang Jun introduced the official of Guoxiang Mansion, and Zhuge Liang introduced the official of Handan County.

These people stepped forward one by one to greet Liu Xie with awe, admiration, and anticipation in their eyes.

The emperor's biological mother, Empress Linghuai, was from the state of Zhao. After the emperor pacified Jizhou, the first stop of his inspection was the state of Zhao.If he can be favored by the emperor, his official career will be even brighter.

Wang Duan followed the emperor, looking at these enthusiastic officials, inexplicably more confident.

With the prestige of the imperial court, he, a relative of the imperial family, also has confidence.

-

Accompanied by Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang, Liu Xie inspected Handan.

The focus is on the field.

After Zhuge Liang took office, he found that the accounts left by his predecessor were in a mess and it was impossible to save the land, so he started the account verification in advance regardless of the upcoming autumn harvest.

The emperor and Sun Rui gave him support in time.

The emperor drew his salary from the bottom of the pot and kept Wang Duan, not letting him get in the way.Shi Sun Rui sent a part of the cavalry battalion that was not needed to attack the city, and lived in Handan City.Under such power and influence, no one dared to jump out and become an enemy of Zhuge Liang.

With the Zhang family handing over the surplus land of the Wang family, Du Tian was able to proceed smoothly.When Yang Jun took office, Handan had already completed all the tasks of land conservation and allocated the land to households.

Not only that, Zhuge Liang also asked those aristocratic families who occupied more land to pay the taxes owed over the years.

You can postpone the payment, you can install it in installments, but you must pay it, and it will not work if you miss a stone.

Such harsh measures made Yang Jun feel a little too much.

But the effect was surprisingly good. First, the warehouses in Handan County were filled with grain for the first time, and second, the people in Handan were very supportive of Dutian.

Not only do they have their own land, but they don't have to bear excessive taxes.The food left by the family can not only meet the rations of the family, but some of them are rich, so they don't have to worry about going hungry anymore.

They thanked the emperor and the new magistrate from the bottom of their hearts.

Wherever Liu Xie went, the common people gathered to watch.For Liu Xie's almost crude guard of honor, they breathed a sigh of relief while being emotional.

If the emperor is simple, the possibility of extortion will be less, and their burden will be lighter.

The accompanying Wang Duan and his wife also received a lot of gratitude.The Wang family and the Zhang family took the lead in handing over the over-occupied land, which played a non-negligible role in the smooth progress of Zhao's land conservation.The common people don't know the game behind it, they only know that the Wang family and the Zhang family were the first to make friends, and they also think of their kindness.

Listening to the people's gratitude, Wang Duan didn't feel much, but Zhang felt a sense of accomplishment.

Giving money is a virtue. Her grandfather Zhang Yu first became famous because he gave up the family's land to his uncle.Giving up to her uncle can gain a good reputation, not to mention she is now giving up to ordinary people with no relatives or reasons.

In a daze, Mrs. Zhang felt that she could be worthy of the name of her grandfather.

Liu Xie has long been used to all this, and didn't pay much attention to it.

His focus is on how to appease the big clans who cooperate with Dutian and eliminate their inner disappointment.

Zhuge Liang had been prepared for a long time and proposed several plans.

One is to promote business.

Handan has been the center of Jizhou since ancient times, with developed transportation and prosperous commerce.Today, the world is peaceful, and business recovers the fastest.A part of the property can be selected and handed over to a few big clans who cooperate with the field to make up for the loss of their land.

The second is to build workshops.

Handan is not only a commercial center, but also a handicraft center with a solid foundation.Although it is not as good as before, the folk custom of emphasizing business and industry is still there.He plans to build some workshops in Handan. In addition to providing services for business travelers, he also wants to create unique products in Handan and sell them to the Quartet.

The third is the service industry.

There are many businessmen coming and going, and naturally there are many services needed.Accommodation, meals, and entertainment all require a mature service industry. The development of the service industry can not only provide a large number of jobs, but also alleviate the contradiction between more people and less land.

Liu Xie didn't make an immediate comment after listening, and turned to ask Yang Jun for his opinion.

Yang Jun was also very straightforward, saying to Liu Xie that such an arrangement is suitable for Handan, but it is unlikely for Zhao Guo.Not every county occupies the main roads like Handan, and has good conditions for the development of industry, commerce and service industry.

Moreover, according to this line of thinking, Handan needs a large amount of grain, which cannot be met locally, and must be purchased from other counties.As a result, the price of food will rise sharply, and the price of goods in various counties will also rise, and the lives of ordinary people will inevitably be affected.

If nothing else happens, Handan will become rich, but the surrounding counties will become poor, and wealth will flow to Handan like water.

Liu Xie asked Zhuge Liang again, how do you plan to solve this problem?

Zhuge Liang had been prepared for a long time, and said calmly: "There are two ways to solve this problem: one is to distribute some passers-by in the counties so that the people can come to Handan to work and earn money. Conditions, build some workshops in a centralized manner to attract corresponding merchants to purchase locally. Concentrated workshops can not only form a scale, but also help improve the technical level, create better products, and earn more profits.”

Chapter 954 Between the Old and the New

After Yang Jun listened, he couldn't help but look at Zhuge Liang.

He realized that he might have underestimated Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang is not only ruthless, but also very smart.Zhuge Liang has already considered the problems he considered, and has a mature solution.

Judging from the solution alone, Zhuge Liang is not just the Handan Order, he considers the entire Zhao State as a whole.

In other words, Zhuge Liang proposed the plan at the height of Zhao Xiang.

While this made him admire, it was also a little indescribably awkward.

You've done all my work, what do you want me to do?

But after removing the interference of personal emotions, he had to admit that Zhuge Liang's plan was very clever.

Especially according to the conditions of each county, few people would have thought of the point of concentrating on the construction of workshops.

Most of the handicraft workshops are scattered, small in scale and with few products. In most cases, they can only meet local needs and cannot attract foreign merchants to buy.But if it is to concentrate on building workshops and expand a certain industry, the situation will be different.

And this requires him, Prime Minister Zhao, to deploy and make the most suitable arrangements.

Yang Jun immediately asked a question. "This method is good, but it's not fair to the counties. Handan occupies the south of Zhao State, and it's [-] miles to the south beyond the county boundary. The farthest Bairen is more than [-] miles. In the future, Weijun, Julu According to this implementation, the nearby counties will benefit more than Zhao Guo. Can Zhao Guo manage the people in this county and the merchants?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and remained silent.

The accompanying officials also began to discuss softly, and soon formed an argument.

The official of the Handan County Temple believes that this is an established reality and cannot be solved by the Handan Order.I can't stop my development in Handan just because the county can't solve it.

The officials of the Prime Minister's Office believed that since Handan is the capital of Zhao, we should not only consider the problem from the perspective of Handan County, but also consider the balance of the whole Zhao.

Liu Xie listened to their discussion for a while, and realized that to solve this problem, it may be necessary to look at it from the height of Jizhou.

The best way is to redefine the scope of the counties and states, so that the county government becomes the real center instead of living in a corner.

He had seen many such examples in his previous life.

For example, Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province, is nicknamed Huijing because it is located in the southwest corner and close to Anhui.Not only does it have a low sense of presence in the province, but it also affects the entire balance of Jiangsu Province.

This is true in the 21st century when the transportation is developed, and it is even more so now that the transportation basically depends on walking.

As a county, Handan is located at the southern end, and it is Wei County when it leaves the county.With the development of Handan, Liangqi County in Wei County will benefit the most.

Liu Xie asked people to write down this question and discuss it later.

When it comes to administrative divisions, it cannot be resolved in just one or two sentences, and it is related to the interests of countless people.

-

After inspecting Dutian, Liu Xie returned to the camp and immediately summoned Zhao Wang Liu She.

Liu She is the descendant of Liu Liang, the uncle of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and has been the seventh generation to this day.

Perhaps because he inherited Zhao Liang's gene of fear of trouble, Zhao Guo has always had no sense of existence and kept his own place.No trouble, no help.Before Liu Xie issued an imperial edict, calling on the clans all over the world to serve in the court, they did not respond.Now that Liu Xie has pacified Jizhou, Zhao Guo is the first stop on his tour, so Liu Amnesty is a little nervous.

When seeing Liu Xie, Liu She knelt down and saluted.

Liu Xie helped him up and comforted him well.

Although they are monarchs and ministers, they are different from ordinary monarchs and ministers after all.When it comes to seniority, Liu She is three generations older than him, and he is a great-grandfather, so he has to be respectful.

Seeing that Liu Xie was very polite, Liu She relaxed a lot.

The two chatted a few words, and Liu Xie asked about Liu She's family.Liu She answered one by one, and then led the disciples in the hall to meet him.

Looking at these clan children with fair skin and loose muscles, Liu Xie felt very uncomfortable.

The purpose of establishing the clan is to protect the imperial court, but these people have no worries about food and clothing, but they are raised as pigs.When they are needed, they are of no use at all.

This situation cannot continue.

But how to solve it, he has no mature plan yet.

As far as his historical knowledge is concerned, the imperial family system of the Qing Dynasty is the most reasonable. The imperial family is kept in the capital and is not allowed to leave the capital without an edict, and at the same time, some people are allowed to participate in the government.This prevented the clan from causing chaos in the local area, and played a part of the clan's ability to strengthen the royal family's centralization.

But that's only relatively good.In fact, when the Qing Dynasty was heading towards its demise, the imperial clan did not play any good role.

Liu Xie decided to maintain the status quo for the time being, and wait for a while.

Liu Xie selected two young worshipers from among Liu She's children as his servants, and they accompanied him on tour.

Liu Amnesty was very grateful.

-

After a violent curtain shaking and bed shaking, Wang Duan lay on Zhang's body, panting like a cow.

Zhang stretched out his hand to push Wang Duan, but he didn't.

I haven't seen him for a month. Wang Duan seems to be thinner, but he is heavier. The muscles on his body are strong, and he can see a clear outline.In addition, her body was so soft that she couldn't push it away for a while.

"Go away!" She patted Wang Duan on the back.

Subconsciously, Wang Duan turned to zero, turned over and rolled aside, spread his arms, and laughed twice. "Exciting, it turns out that the relationship between husband and wife is so enjoyable."

Mrs. Zhang gave him a lifeless look, but said nothing.
