Han Shizu

Chapter 1078 The Rule of Huxiang
If you want to rank the development speed of all Dao states in Dahan, there is no doubt that Hunan Dao must be the first. The reason is also very simple. The foundation is relatively weak. After being effectively governed, the progress made is naturally huge.

For thousands of years, Hunan cannot be described as a purely "Chuman" land. Along the Xiangjiang River, the core area centered on Tanzhou and Hengzhou is also a treasure land with fertile land and abundant products.

At the same time, he also enjoyed the benefits of northern culture and economic southward migration several times, and formed his own cultural foundation in the process of communicating with the Central Plains.As far as the recent stage is concerned, during the Machu period, like other southern separatist states, the land of Xiangtan experienced a great development worth writing about.

At the beginning, Ma Xifan was able to come up with the "Eighteen Scholars of Tiance Mansion", no matter how fine it was, it could more or less reflect the development of Hunan.However, because the light of Jianghuai and Wuyue is too dazzling, and the descendants of the Ma family are too unscrupulous, Hunan has been devastated in internal strife and external wars. In the impression of many people, Hunan is still dilapidated. backcountry.

It has economic potential and cultural foundation. Therefore, after entering the Han Dynasty, the main factor restricting the development of Hunan is only one thing, the population.This is what the officials of the Daozhou government in Hunan have been working hard for so many years.

The imperial court collected it in the eighth year of Qianyou, and it has been eight years since then.In these eight years, the biggest change is also the growth of the population. From the initial population of 500,000 to the current population of more than one million registered households, it has directly doubled. This is an annual growth rate close to 10%. It can be said to be very exaggerated.

Of course, this is not purely based on natural growth. I have to thank the former chief executive Zan Jurun. After he took office, he was conscientious, diligent, and wholeheartedly led the people of Sanxiang to seek development.

From the very beginning, they understood the importance of Dingkou. After the social order stabilized, they began to check out hidden households. At the same time, they formulated policies to recruit refugees and attract people from all walks of life to emigrate. Filling Hunan with Sichuan people, this alone has increased by 60,000 to [-] people.Coupled with the incorporation of Miao and Yao people, as well as the stimulation of the fostering policy, Hunan's population growth naturally "took off".

Even if this result is slightly inferior to the population of the three prefectures originally belonging to Nanping, it cannot deny the achievements in this regard.Population is an important criterion for Dahan's assessment of prefecture and county officials. In Hunan, dozens of officials have been promoted because of this.

Previously, in order to encourage childbearing and reduce the burden on the common people, Zan Jurun specially contributed money from the public treasury as a reward.At the same time, he went out of his way and asked Emperor Liu for financial support. Although it was impossible to ask for one, but the number of times was too high. Considering that it was not easy for him to clean up the stall in Hunan, he would give some help.

Speaking of which, in this kind of exchanges, Hunan has become the Tao with the closest connection with the imperial court.In the one or two years after Pingshu, as long as the center received Zan Jurun's memorial form, some officials couldn't help joking, guessing what Zan Shijun asked for.
In today's era, talents are the primary productive force. When the population growth is satisfied, other aspects of progress can be imagined.One enjoys the beauty of the mountains and forests, the other enjoys the benefits of the rivers and lakes, and then promotes reclamation and encourages commerce and trade.

Three years later, although there is still no food and clothing, it is showing a trend of prosperity.Five years later, the law and order is good, the government is smooth and the people are harmonious.Eight years later, for the current Hunan people, they can still be called "well-off", and they can feed back to the imperial court. Pan Meiping Lingnan, half of the money and food, and [-]% of the households are supplied by Hunan.

On the basis of persuading farming and mulberry, opening roads and dredging canals, and building water conservancy, Zan Jurun also discovered another source of income, that is, mining and smelting of minerals.Especially in Chenzhou in the south, precious metals such as gold and silver mines have been vigorously mined and smelted. For example, there are three larger silver pits in Chenzhou. Up to now, Hunan’s annual tribute to the court’s silver has reached 5000. [-] taels, this number cannot be said to be less.

In addition to the economy and people's livelihood, cultural undertakings have also been restored. This land has enough cultural heritage.Even during the most financially difficult year or two, Zan Jurun would spend part of the Taoist government's money every year to support schools and scholars.

A group of Huxiang scholars led by Xuanwei envoy Shi Wende, together with some Sichuan and Shu talents who moved to Tanzhou, jointly promoted the cultural development of Sanxiang.When the great Han ushered in the unification and entered the era of opening treasures, with the support of Zan Jurun, Shi Wende gathered a group of scholars and jointly compiled a book describing Hunan's politics, military affairs, humanities, customs and other historical and social features since the end of Tang Dynasty. The book, named "Huxiang Zhi", was presented together with the tribute party at the treasure opening ceremony, which was appreciated by Emperor Liu.

It can be said that under the governance of Zan Jurun, the land of Huxiang once again ushered in a great development.It is a pity that there is always a feast in the world, Zan Jurun was transferred away to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now he is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, which can be regarded as a high promotion.

However, for the people of Hunan, it is a big loss.It is said that on the day when Zan Jurun boarded the boat and left, all the people held back, and the people in Changsha City were all empty, scrambling to bid farewell to the banks of the Xiangjiang River.It may be a little exaggerated, but the people's affection for Zan Jurun is real. To commemorate him, a canal connecting Liuyang River was specially renamed Zan Gong Canal.

He has ruled Hunan for more than eight years. Apart from leaving behind an outstanding political achievement, he also has such a reputation, which can be called extraordinary.Strictly speaking, in terms of political achievements, Zan ranks second among all the local governors of the Han Dynasty, but because Hunan's status in the Han Dynasty is really not high, even if it has made real achievements, it is not enough to attract attention.

In the first year of Kaibao, the city of Changsha could no longer be seen as dilapidated. The wounds suffered by the war had already been repaired, and the population had recovered to more than 2000 households.You know, in the early years, in order to restore development, Zan Jurun pushed all the people out to cultivate, and the population of the city once dropped to less than [-] people
In the official office, envoy Zan left and envoy Bian ushered in. Now, it is Bian Guizhen's turn to take over Huxiang and lead the people of Sanxiang to move forward.Bian Guizhen was still very active in the political arena of the Han Dynasty in the early years of Qianyou. The highest served as a doctor of imperial history and in charge of the supervision system.

However, due to several subsequent attacks on Wu Desi, Emperor Liu was finally annoyed, and he was released as the inspector of Huaixi Road.During his tenure, he strictly enforced the law and discipline, and eliminated treacherous officials. Later, he was transferred to Jinghu Road, changed to Jiangling Mansion, and now he is the chief of Jinghu Road.
