Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

In the golden autumn of August, the whole land of Hebei is filled with the joy of harvest.Shao Sheng's harvest is also quite large.

On the fourth day of August, he reaped a child: Jieyu Ashide gave birth to a son.

From the end of Tang Tianyou, he had successively harvested several sons, even if he flipped a coin, he was quite lucky.The second biggest harvest was the ninth day of August: Zhu Zhen, the Marquis of Yu of the Longxiang Army, personally led people to dig the tunnel, almost digging to the bedside of the governor Wang Yu, and broke through Yizhou in one fell swoop.

When Yizhou was in danger, people were sent out to Dingzhou for help.Wang Gao sent tens of thousands of troops to rescue them, but they were defeated and returned.In Dingzhou, there was a lot of turmoil, and people were panicked.

The third biggest harvest is in the direction of Yingzhou.

On the [-]th day of the eighth month, General Gao Zi, the guard of Tongding, killed more than a thousand Khitan soldiers in the city, and surrendered with more than ten thousand soldiers and civilians.

After Xiao Dilu arrived in Yingzhou, he saw the Bohai, Han, Sogdian, and Goguryeo tribes defecting one after another and stabbing Khitan in the back.Brother Yelu Hua took the opportunity to persuade Xiao Dilu to make up his mind and decided to sneak back to Khitan to wait for the opportunity.

There is another big harvest: Ping Haijun successfully grasped the fishing season and reaped a bumper harvest.After Shao Shude heard about it, he first praised him, and then strictly urged him to transfer materials and personnel, and put his mind on his main business.

The good news comes one after another, indicating that his dynasty is just like the rising sun, full of vitality, and everything is competing.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, Shao Shude issued an edict: the third son of the emperor, Shao Mianren, king of Wei, went to Penglai Town in September to serve as the vice-admiral of the Ping Navy and manage a ship alone.

Saburo is 17 years old this year, and has successively served as Sihu of Wendeng County, Captain of Huang County, and Prime Minister of Penglai County.

For several years, Shao Shude didn't pay much attention to his political achievements.What he values ​​is whether his son can select talents, win over talents, and put talents in suitable positions.Looking at it now, it's not bad—maybe the Feng family helped him "cheat".

After working as a civilian for several years, I can now take up a military position. I started with a ship management and gradually became familiar with the affairs of the navy.Shao Shude will continue to pay attention to his performance.

Under the guidance of his grandfather Zhuge Zhongbao, Shao Guancheng, the fourth son of the emperor, finally opened up the situation.

For various reasons, two or three of the old bureaucrats at the customs defected to the past. Shiro finally stopped being overwhelmed by all kinds of miscellaneous documents and started to get in touch with core affairs.

Shao Shude decided to let him continue to exercise in Ling Shi's position, and then observe and observe-in general, the fourth child did not satisfy him very much.

The 13-year-old Wu can also debut.Shao Shude sent him to the newly established Ruzhou as a doctor of Confucianism in Ruping County.

The fifth child's biological mother is Pei Zhenyi, who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome.Shao Shude once liked her wildness under her dignified appearance, and the two gave birth to a son and a daughter.

After Shao Shude had a new love, she was gradually left out in the cold.

Ruping is the location of Ruzhou, originally where the Eastern Army guarded the city.After relocating [-] households from Tongzhou, Kansai, some of the descendants of Sumo Mohetu Diji tribe from the old land of Yanle County, which was abolished, were relocated here. There are more than [-] households, and the population has just exceeded [-]. .

Shao Shude strictly forbids mentioning Mohe.

Since they moved inland in the early Tang Dynasty, it has been 300 years, and they still maintain their original way of life. The headman takes care of himself and has not effectively digested it so far.

In the future, it is not allowed to mention Mohe, the registered people in Ruping County are all Han Chinese.Over time, these Mohe descendants will gradually think that they are Han Chinese, and they will call them barbarians when they see grassland shepherds. Isn't that good?

Two new counties were established in Ruzhou.

After cleaning up the nearby Khitan tribes and negotiating peace with Khan Shendejin and Yelvhadi, Shao Shude ordered Chengde County to be established on the boundary of Chengde City in the later generation, and Dading County to be established in the area around Pingquan City in the later generation.

So far, Ruzhou has Ruping, Longhua, Fengning, Chengde, and Dading five counties, governing Ruping.

Except for the first county, which has tens of thousands of people, the other four counties are barren, without even a city, and there is still work to do.But now the situation is very good, Shao Shude is not in a hurry, just take his time.

Shao Mingyi, the sixth son of the emperor, is only 11 years old this year, and he is still studying with the Imperial Academy scholars. Shao Shude will sometimes raise some points, so he will not let them out for the time being.

Ann to the sons

After clearing the line, Shao Shude inspected the construction of Miyagi in the northern capital.

Jintai and Jiaotai Halls have already been completed, Wenshan Hall is almost completed, and Baohua Hall is more than half completed.The second hall of diligence and benevolence has not yet started, because it involves the planning of the new city wall in the future, which is more troublesome.

Beiping Mansion is the capital of the north, so it needs to be well planned.Ruling the grasslands is what Shao Shude has been busy with all his life, and he still has many plans.Compared with it, Jiangnan is nothing, it is the meat on the chopping board, which can be eaten at any time.

Well, I really want to live here for a few more years, but——Lao Shao is also afraid that the soldiers of the Forbidden Army will get angry and take Erlang back from Shu, ascend the throne in Luoyang, and respect himself as the Supreme Emperor from afar, then Too stupid.

Of course, so far so good, the soldiers have a rotation, and they can handle it for the time being.In a few months, the Longxiang Army and the Tu generals should also go home. Otherwise, after two years of fighting abroad, it may not be impossible for the son to be born.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had the idea of ​​visiting the city and countryside of Youzhou.

******
"Your Majesty." Chen Cheng looked outside helplessly, terrified. "Why are you panicking?" Shao Shude put down the curtain and said with a smile.

The carriage was very spacious, and Chen Cheng, Xiao Yun, Pei Zhi and others all sat in it with Shao Shude.Chu Shenping drove the car himself, and Xia Luqi led a few people around on horseback.

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!" Chen Cheng said.

"The former Tang Taizong Li Shimin liked to visit in private, what am I afraid of?" Shao Shude waved his hand.Wufu of the Five Dynasties, what a fear!
As soon as Li Cunxu destroyed Hou Liang, he dared to visit in private.After Li Siyuan's successful rebellion, he often took a few entourages to visit and talked with the father and son who cultivated land in the village. He knew that the people lacked farming cattle and farm tools, knew the sufferings of the people, and understood the behavior of officials who set up names and deceived others. targeted.

Li Siyuan's eight years in office was a rare time in the Five Dynasties when the common people enjoyed peace and prosperity. It was not unrelated to his understanding of the people's sentiments and cherishing their strength.

Chen Cheng had no choice but to give up.

The carriage stopped at a village.

Shao Shude jumped off the carriage lightly and looked around.This should be within the territory of Youdu County.

After Youzhou was upgraded to Beiping Prefecture, the Zhengshitang readjusted the administrative divisions because it involved the establishment of new counties and townships.There are two counties attached to Guo, Jixian is in the east, with 22 townships, and Youdu is in the west, with 12 townships.

"Where is this?" Shao Shude asked.

Han Yanhui, the Prime Minister of Youdu County who returned from his mission to Khitan, immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is Fan Village, Baoda Township, Youdu County, and Han Village is to the south."

"What do you call me?" Shao Shude glared.

"Liu joined the army." Han Yanhui immediately changed his words.

Shao Shude nodded in satisfaction, and stepped forward first.Xia Luqi took a few steps quickly, and rushed to him, the leaves of his armor rattled.

Shao Shude's current identity is to join the military in the Beiping Prefecture, and he has several civil servants and several swordsmen under him, who come to the countryside to inspect.After walking for a while, a small plateau appeared in front of my eyes.This kind of landform structure is very common in Northwest China, but it is rare in Youzhou.Shao Shude stepped onto the plain, and what he saw was a large number of tombstones.There are new and old tombstones, and the outermost one reads: "Tomb of Fufeng Ma's wife, the wife of Yan Fujun in the Tang Dynasty".

Shao Shude didn't feel unlucky at all, he looked at the epitaph with great interest, and read every word to the end: "... Madam is so virtuous and virtuous, but her life is not long."

"It turns out that this Ma family died in the seventh year of Dazhong (853) and had three sons. The eldest son went to Yuanzhou to defend the autumn and fought with the Tubo people." Shao Shude was full of emotion, and caught a glimpse of someone in the northwest corner of the Tuyuan. There was a funeral, so he walked over.

The host was very vigilant, seeing Shao Shude and his party from a distance, seeing that they were either officials in green robes or warriors in armor, they stopped suddenly.

"Don't panic! Don't panic!" Shao Shude stopped not far away and asked, "Who is buried?"

As soon as the strong Kansai accent came out, the main family basically understood their identities: the new conquerors of Youzhou.

The Great Xia court started in Kansai, and after conquering various places, it always concerned Western scholars and military academies to serve as officials in various prefectures and counties.As the northern capital, there are naturally many counties in Beiping Prefecture
After the main family looked at each other in blank dismay, someone soon came forward and said: "The person who was buried is my elder brother, from the Han family in Youdu, and from Yutian." Shao Shude glanced at Han Yanhui.

"Joining the army has nothing to do with me, Anci Han." Han Yanhui said innocently.

Shao Shude nodded, and asked again: "Is your family related to An Cihan or Yutian Han?"

"The Han family in Yutian and the Han family in Youdu were originally a family, and they moved to Yutian, Jizhou in the Muzong Dynasty of the former Tang Dynasty." The visitor replied. "What a coincidence." Shao Shude was a little surprised.

"What does the official mean?" The visitor was a little uncertain.

"Do you know Han Rong, the Sima of Jizhou in the Tang Dynasty?" Shao Shude asked.

"Of course I know." The visitor said, "Han Sima has passed away. There is only one son under his knees. He is called Zhigu, and he was taken captive by the Khitan. He does not know where he ended up."

Shao Shude was secretly delighted when he heard this.

He really sent someone to visit Yutian County, Jizhou, where there is a Han Village.When Li Kuangwei was the Jiedushi of Youzhou, he rescued Helianduo of Yunzhou several times.And when the army of Youzhou set off, the Khitan went south to plunder, and the people of Han village were either killed by the Khitan or taken away. Han Zhigu was arrested at that time, only six years old.

According to Brother Yeluhua, after Han Zhigu was arrested, he became Shuluping's domestic slave, and later went to Dieci Department as a dowry concubine.Judging from the current situation, he is not valued by A Baoji. A Baoji doesn't even know his name, and has not been given any position. partial affairs.

When Xiao Dilu left, Shao Shude asked him to look for Han Zhigu.

After Xiao Dilu left, he felt that it was meaningless. Han Zhigu was talented, but he might not have a chance to succeed.And he was taken away when he was six years old, so it's not sure where his mind is.

Instead of working hard on him, it's better to let Xiao Di Lu Duoduo work hard.

But today, after seeing the people from the Han family in Youdu, Shao Shude had a new idea.Xiao Dilu always needs a helper, and this helper's ability is not bad, Han Zhigu may be able to play a role.

Thinking of this section, he made a decision, said goodbye and left after saluting.

It's not in a hurry now, let's go to Fancun and Hancun first.Small things like contacting the Han family will naturally be done by the following people.
