Sweep the World

It is another winter to spring. In winter, there is no snow in many places including Guanzhong. After spring, most areas in the north have only had a few light rains or no rain at all.

The replacement of annual rings represents the passage of time. The weather brings heavy depression to people, but it does not disturb the group of cultural people who gathered in old Chang'an.

The wind of Xia learning has blown, but the disputes between the cultural people of the North and the South have become more and more fierce, mostly because of their geographical origin rather than the doctrine itself. It is obviously the same doctrine, and it is necessary to fight for the advantages and disadvantages of the North and the South.

"This year's rain conditions have become more abnormal. The water systems of various places...especially the water levels of the water systems in the east have dropped the most rapidly and obviously."

"Water is stored at the source of water, and it is inevitable that the downstream water level will drop. Wells have been excavated everywhere, and the depth of excavation regardless of region is getting deeper and deeper."

"The built waterwheel may not alleviate water for spring plowing, but the people insist on plowing."

Zhu Xia Civilization still likes to build dams to store water, even a small river will have sluices to intercept water in several sections, especially during the spring ploughing period, the water interception situation becomes more serious, which leads to the outbreak of spring ploughing every year due to water contention. Large-scale fighting.

The waterwheel was built in the fourth year of Yuanshuo, and it took three years to promote it in only a few areas. It was only when the drought was deemed inevitable to promote it, especially in the land of Jingchu. The granary under construction is used extensively.

The function of the waterwheel is to send water from a low position to a higher place. The river is not completely depleted, it is naturally useful, but it is really useless when there is only the river bed left.

"Fortunately, taking the old Yuzhou as the boundary, the drought situation is not obvious to the south, and there is no decline in the water system to the south of the Yangtze River. If there is a full-scale drought in the north, there will still be food production in the south to support it."

"The second batch of overseas grain has been in place, and the grain for the construction of national roads and Chang'an New City is worry-free."

"In addition to responding to recruiters and conscripts, what should the civilians of the Northland do?"

"If the reserve of grain permits, please order the prime minister's office to recruit labor for all counties and counties to build public facilities in the local countryside."

"Grain storage is just enough to support large projects."

In the spring of the 9th year of Yuanshuo (AD 349), the officials who returned to the central office for debriefing around the winter solstice have basically returned to their posts. The local officials are naturally prepared to deal with the disaster, and the military system is also strictly ordered to cooperate with the local government. Government office.

In the past, during the disaster years, the dynasties except the Kai Qin Empire basically stopped any national projects, but they did not implement disaster relief to the people, and opened up the mountains and rivers to allow the people to spend the disaster years on their own.

Speaking of opening up the mountains and rivers, it is because the mountains and forests of the past dynasties are basically owned by the emperor or the country.

The Han country under Liu Yan's rule was a disaster-stricken national project. With the example of the Qin Empire, coupled with Liu Yan's personal commentary, there are still voices of opposition.

The country’s grain reserves have long been at the lowest warning line. In ancient times, most of the country’s grain reserves were to ensure military supplies, especially when large-scale disasters occurred throughout the country. Neighboring countries might take advantage of the fire and looting, and the grain reserves were kept to deal with. Invasions of other countries that may occur at any time, those people are opposed to large-scale national projects because of national defense considerations.

The construction of the national highway and the new Chang'an are already implemented national policies. The form of work-for-work has not only supported a large number of people, but also a large number of people who need to be extended to private procurement to feed the project, but it is still difficult to take care of it comprehensively.

"This year, it is the Northwest that has an obvious drought. Although there will be droughts in Guanzhong and Central Plains, there should be no tragic situation of grain failure."

"If the weather is still the same next year, or if it gets worse, the situation will be really bad."

In the ongoing small dynasty meeting, whoever has any opinions or thoughts can express their own opinions. Liu Yan listened more and said less or simply didn't say it as usual.

The northwest of Han refers to the territory to the northwest of Jincheng, which belongs to the original Zhang Clan.

Zhang’s Liangguo surrendered in Yuanshuo in the seventh year. The country’s lord and the corresponding royal family would naturally be put under house arrest. It took nearly three months for the Han army to take over, and it took another year to complete the household registration survey and statistics. .

Since Han State has cancelled the administrative level of "state", the content mentioned involves too many counties and counties, and it is basically generalized in a certain direction.

"It has not been long for the Northwest to belong to the Han. Although it was not a battle that was conquered one city after another, it did not cause much damage. However, the people in the Northwest have been returned to the Han for less than two years, and the people's sentiment is still unstable."

"In a year of catastrophe, the ambitious and Xiao Xiao will inevitably be restless, but the opportunity will inevitably encourage the people to rebel."

Liu Yan destroyed the Jie tribe, expelled the Qiang tribe, Di tribe, Xiongnu, and zahu. For the people of the Central Plains, he was a liberator and savior, but the extermination of Zhang Liangguo was only a pure victory or defeat without inter-ethnic righteousness. .

The Zhang family was originally a prominent family in the northwest. When they ruled the northwest, they have always protected and governed the people. Although they treated the people because of the war, they needed a higher tax rate for food, but their reputation was still quite good.

The time for the Northwest to be included in the Han rulership is still shorter, and there is no shortage of people who miss Zhang’s rule, especially those whose interests have been damaged the most after the rule of the Han. In addition, the Zhang family is still missed by the people and the people. Once the disaster is too serious to be controlled, it is almost inevitable to cause chaos if the person instigates it.

"Zhengxi Zhonglang General (Xie) An has sent troops to Xiqiang Mountain, and can lead his troops to the northwestern region after the war."

"The scope of Xiqiang Mountain is too large, and the remnants of Qiangdi will not dare to fight. I am afraid it will be difficult for the war to produce results in a short time."

"There was a standing army in the northwest, and then General Zheng Xizhonglang led the army. Isn't it enough to deter you?"

"Everything is based on maximum deterrence."

Xie An has two standing armies under his command. The attached counties and counties have as many as 60,000 soldiers. They attacked Xiqiang Mountain with almost 100,000 troops. They adopted a flat-line advance strategy, even if they could not completely wipe out the remnants of the Qiang and Di tribes. , Can also force them to climb up the plateau.

After the battle in Xiqiang Mountain, the garrison will definitely be left, but only the county and county soldiers will remain as the frontier garrison. The standing army is a field army, so it is naturally impossible to stay in one place for a long time.

"Recruitment orders can be issued, focusing on recruiting middle-aged people. If there are no middle-aged people, but only the old, weak, women and children, there will be no chaos."

"In the disaster year, there are no young and strong, how can the old and the weak seek a living? How should the world view the big man?"

"No, how can it?"

"With one household recruiting, everyone can work in exchange for rations."

"It consumes too much food."

In fact, there are also national projects in the Northwest that pay for work. The center is not paying enough attention. Of course, the most important thing is the construction of New Chang'an. That is because it is the top priority for Liu Yan's enthronement, and then it is the national road from Jiankang to Guanzhong. , The national highway from Guanzhong to the Western Regions is very small, and the resettlement is mainly the people from the Central Plains, and the number of people from the northwest who are recruited is not many except for corvee.

For the people of the same country, it is absolutely false to say that the center can take care of all aspects. There must be a focus area. That is because it is restricted by national power, and it is also related to the preference and care of the ruler.

Regarding the dynasties of the Zhuxia civilization, the Central Plains belonged to the core, and even the capital Guanzhong could not ignore the Central Plains. The reason for this is that the Central Plains has been very densely populated since ancient times, and chaos may occur in other places, but the chaos in the Central Plains is definitely a big chaos, forcing the rulers to focus and pay attention.

During the discussion, everyone was unable to reach a consensus, so they couldn't help but stop and look at Liu Yan.

"Millions of people in the northwest are also big people."

Liu Yan has considered it just now and agrees with Cai You that the state's grain reserves have reached the most serious warning line. Not only must we cope with the current situation, we must also think about how to deal with large-scale natural disasters including Central Plains if there is no grain in the future.

"The benefits of opening up the mountains and rivers are one of them, and the other can lead to the Western Regions."

Are there natural disasters in the Western Regions? It should be said that the natural disasters in the Western Regions broke out earlier than Han, where it has not rained much for two consecutive years. Under the natural disasters, the Western Regions are in chaos. Not only have private fights increased, but conflicts have continued to erupt in various countries.

Letting the people from the Northwest go to the Western Regions individually or in groups is to encourage them to grab the Western Regions.

"The people of the South can go to the Indo-China Peninsula, why can't the people of the North go to the Western Regions?"

Liu Yan said that, but he knew that he still didn't pay enough attention to the people in the northwest, but he really had to take care of the rest of the area, instead of choosing other people who didn't have a strong sense of belonging. This is to ensure the ruling stability of the basic disk, as a ruler should make a choice.

"There are millions in the Northwest, but in the Central Plains there are tens of thousands." Ji Chang must help Liu Yan to get it up: "The corvee can be used to recruit 100,000 households, and the rest is to shed blood for the country in the Western Regions. Can it be regarded as a military exploit?"

It is precisely because the Western Regions themselves are in chaos, the time when the Han State will dispatch troops to the Western Regions will advance. Before the Han army attacked, there were already many people on mission to the Western Regions, nothing more than to make it more chaotic and create a more favorable environment for the Han army to regain the Western Regions.

Before the army actually went out, people who had the abilities and courage to go first could indeed be regarded as contributing to the country, and there was no reason why it would not be regarded as military merit.

"This is a great good governance." Xie Ai is a native of Northwest China. He didn't have much right to speak just now. He had a cold face and listened to the discussion and Liu Yan's ruling. With the following results, he must feel relieved.

That's a military exploit, you can use it to exchange for local land, and you can get the title. Under the premise that the number of standing troops is fixed, soldiers from counties and counties rarely have the opportunity to go out to fight. For the vast majority of people, there is basically no opportunity to build military exploits. Participating in the army’s outings is a struggle to build up military exploits, and going abroad to rob and kill the enemy in private can also be regarded as a military exploit, which is a good thing for most people, not a bad thing.

"If this is the case, it is not in the servitude or enlistment, can you imitate it?"

"Out?"

Everyone had to look at Liu Yan again.

The Northwest is really the center. It has adopted a last resort strategy, and bad things have become good things that most people think. But if the whole country treats them equally, things are really big.

Liu Yan was looking at the military.

Xu Zheng's brows were completely frowned, and he didn't care about so much, so he discussed in a low voice with Ran Min beside him.

The reason why military exploits are military exploits is that they are the prerequisites for the army to control and establish. How can it be easily transferred to others as it is in the military's bowl?

People in the northwest can go outside to build military exploits. The military didn't say anything because Liu Yan personally mentioned it. They didn't dare to question Liu Yan's authority, but it was not the same thing when other people mentioned it.

"If the whole country can do it, the minister thinks that it must not be unorganized." Xu Zheng had to think about the interests of the military, but knew that he couldn't hold it down. This can be done nationwide."

To put it bluntly, if you want to do that, those who want to go out must be under the leadership of the military to ensure the best interests of the military.

At this moment, Ji Chang was frowning. He believes that the army of Han is already a monster, and the war cannot be completely stopped in the year of the disaster.

now what? The military wants to take this opportunity to reach out to the place, and it is still speechless. In some respects, it is even a kind of conscientiousness, but the military's hand is stretched too far.

"Big Han has a national policy of training troops in summer and winter." Xu Zheng also knew that the military's hands were stretched too long to ignore the dissatisfaction of the civil administration system, but it could not ignore Liu Yan, and said logically: "There are soldiers to lead and restrain. Unnecessary casualties can be avoided, and the strategy can be continued again to open up the frontier for the Han Dynasty."

In Han country in summer and winter ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ young people and women in the countryside need to take part in military training on the spot, which is a habit that Liu Yan had when he was only in Changguang County. At that time, the Han people were at a critical moment of life and death. Not only did the soldiers have to fight the Huren at any time, but the people also had to be ready to take up arms to defend themselves, and the habit remained.

Military training is conducted by the military. If the military reaches out to the people, it is a long-standing thing, and there has been no trouble. And Xu Zheng's intention to mention that point is very clear, and I'm afraid Liu Yan will think more about it.

The military is a monster in Han, but the commanding generals do not have their own direct troops. The Han military implements a rotation system to prevent a certain army from becoming a private army of which generals. It is impossible to be afraid, but it is not too much.

Liu Yan wants to be clear about what kind of impact will be caused by military exploits once opened to plunder.

"The Northwest is a helpless move..." Ji Chang's voice was a little loud: "When you are in an extraordinary time, do extraordinary things, but you must never promote it."

Able to farm with knives and guns, as long as they have the ability, no one is willing to work hard to obtain them. Facing the loess and back to the sky throughout the year, but not as good as someone who went out to grab it once, what kind of country should Han be like at that time?
