Chapter 1235 The Current Situation of Party Persons
Only one day later, someone from Zhoucheng came to visit him directly, passed on the order of the state government, and summoned Xu Xuan to teach at Zhihe Academy, and Feng Guang's efficiency was reflected.Xu Xuan's reputation is not small after all. For the upper class, if he offended the emperor like that, he could still avoid death and exile, which is considered a strange person.

There may be too many things to discuss about letting him be an official, but with his profound knowledge, there is no problem at all as a teacher.In addition, with Emperor Liu's words before him, it was tantamount to liberating the invisible shackles on Xu Xuan, and the Fengzhou government did not have to take political risks to boldly appoint Xu Xuan.

Facing the invitation from the prefectural office, Xu Xuan fell ill again, and acted very reserved, directly refusing, saying that he was a sinner, only an old shepherd, and he dared not mislead his children.

However, no matter how many policemen were ordered, they were directly ordered by the governor, and without any scruples about Xu Xuan's hypocrisy, they directly carried him to the car and almost tied him back to Zhoucheng to return to his order.

As far as Emperor Liu is concerned, Xu Xuan is insignificant, and even mentioning him is just a coincidence.Originally, Feng Guang saw that he had mentioned a few more words about Xu Xuan, and asked for instructions on whether to meet him, but Emperor Liu directly refused.

What are you doing seeing this person?Look at his stinky face, appreciate his literati style, or listen to his self-righteous and criminal remarks?Emperor Liu was not interested at all.

When Xu Xuan was "invited" to Fengzhou City, Yujia had already set off again, left Fengzhou, turned south along the Yellow River, and went to Xiasui for inspection.Leaving Fengzhou, the experience is still desolate. Seeing it with his own eyes, Emperor Liu knew that the desertification of the Hetao Plain, which is only a set of benefits, is already obvious.

Although he didn't observe deeply, Emperor Liu was also deeply touched by the desolate habitat released by the vast desert in the heart of Hetao.Therefore, Emperor Liu directly issued an edict to plant trees to stabilize water and soil from the camp, and spread it to Daozhou in the upper reaches of the river.

In the past ten years since peace was restored in the Northwest, reconstruction work has been carried out in various places, construction has resumed rapidly, and a large number of constructions have been built. Naturally, there is a wide market for timber building materials.

In the northwestern region, there is no shortage of huge trees and good trees. Emperor Liu is also aware of these situations.In the early years, because the Tubo local tyrants in Qinzhou harvested trees for profit, Emperor Liu had specifically restricted this matter.

Now, even though he has personally experienced it, Emperor Liu has no idea how effective his decree can be. After all, there is no reference for comparison.

However, all he can do is try his best to persuade and make some restrictions.After all, vegetation is an essential material for people's lives, and environmental damage can only be considered secondary to survival.

Of course, Emperor Liu must strictly prohibit those deforestation for the sake of large-scale construction.And these, the first thing to control are bureaucrats, nobles, wealthy businessmen and those tribes.

In any case, through the several decrees and opinions of Emperor Liu over the years, people who study history in later generations should agree with and appreciate Emperor Liu's foresight and protection of water and soil protection in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
From Fengzhou to the south, the road is relatively easy and much smoother, but it is sparsely populated, desolate everywhere, and there is no human habitation for a hundred miles, which is normal.

On the Yulin Road side, Yang Ye, Wu Tingzuo, Wang Shenqi and others took the initiative to lead people to greet them, and Emperor Liu summoned them to Lingzhou.Lingzhou is also a major entrance to the Hexi Corridor. Since Shi Hongzhao, Duke of Xingguo, left the town, it has experienced nearly 20 years of great development.

Up to now, it is not only a major military center in the Northwest, but also an economic center. Although it has not become a Taoist government, its political status is no less than that of any Taoist government in the Northwest.

If Lingzhou is stable, it can radiate the entire core area of ​​the Northwest. It is also an extremely important part of the military system in the Northwest of the Han Dynasty. It plays a pivotal role and is the cornerstone town for maintaining the stability of the Northwest.

By the seventh year of Kaibao, the population of soldiers and civilians under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou had already exceeded 100,000 people, and there were 5000 people permanently stationed in the garrison, half of whom were cavalry.

And when he arrived in Lingzhou, Emperor Liu really saw the appearance of the northwestern city of Dahan, different scenes, different prosperity military parades, meetings, inspections, and visits. He started his westward tour from Yunzhong and arrived in Lingzhou. He has already left After a long journey of two thousand miles, Emperor Liu stayed in this important town in the northwest for a long enough time, ten days.

Regarding Yang Ye, Wu Tingzuo, Wang Shenqi and other important ministers, Emperor Liu's attitude was the same as usual, approving and encouraging.At the same time, a secret meeting on the Liao affairs was held, and some plans were made for the future dispatch of troops. Qi was very excited.

At the same time, Emperor Liu also spared time to meet the leaders of the party and tribe who came to the west with Yang Ye and Wu Tingzuo to show his appeasement.As the main population composition under the jurisdiction of Yulin Road, Dangxiang'an means Yulin'an, and Yulin'an means Northwest Ning.

Regarding this point, Emperor Liu knew it well. Therefore, under a series of policies of differentiation, assimilation, and checks and balances, the Dangxiang tribes in the northwest have been almost trained.Compared with when the Li family of the Dingnan Army was in power, the cohesion of the Dangxiang clan has been greatly reduced. On the contrary, under the open and secret provocations of the big Han, the trend of division has become more obvious.

Of course, this is also the effect of the strong and powerful Han Dynasty with sufficient military strength to deter.But from the bottom of his heart, Emperor Liu has always been wary and even disgusted with these party members entrenched in the northwest.

The main reason is that the Dangxiang people have been rooted and lived in the Xiasui area for too long, forming their own history, culture, and customs, which are the foundation and foundation for the rise of a nation.

With the restoration of the northwest territory, Xia Sui has become the hinterland of the northwest. In his hinterland, there is such a nation and such a group of forces. How can Emperor Liu not be suspicious and value it.

As far as the party members are concerned, will their obedience and submission to the big man be sincere?Emperor Liu thought about this problem, and absolutely not.

You only need to simply compare the gap before and after submitting to the imperial court. In the past, they were independent, without too strict constraints, without household registration management, and the tribesmen did not have to be forcibly relocated or even split up. corvee.
Although the various policies implemented by the Han court in Yulin Road were gradual, they were like a rope that was constantly tightened, restraining the party members and suppressing their free space.In the transactions with the Han people, their horses, cattle and sheep, and green and white salt can often make large profits. Now, that advantage is gone, and many tribes that do not produce food have to pay a higher price than before. To trade food for survival.

From all aspects, the life of party members is not as comfortable as before.This is not a small gap from the previous propaganda of the imperial court.

However, the matter has come to this point, and the party members do not have much capital to resist.Not to mention the deterrence of the northwest garrison, as far as the party is concerned, after the Li family and several big clans have all moved out, the remaining party members are like scattered sand. trouble.

In the past few years, not without turmoil, they were all ruthlessly suppressed by Yang Ye.

Now, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty toured the northwest, and he did not forget to meet the representatives of the Dangxiang tribe in person, which could be regarded as giving them enough face.In this regard, party members have no other choice but to submit, to praise, to sing praises.

When the emperor kindly cared about the livelihood, customs, and human relations of the Dangxiang tribe, they had to accompany them with smiling faces and respond respectfully, in order to ask for the emperor's blessing and care.

Moreover, no matter how obedient and filial they are, Emperor Liu's wariness towards them has not diminished.What is certain is that, under the strength of the big man, for a long time to come, party members can only hold their breath.
