Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1394
On July [-], the eighth year of Jianji, after the end of the Taiji Palace Court Meeting, the prime ministers of Zhongshu issued several imperial decrees.

The first road is to set up Longquan Mansion and Manzhou, both of which belong to Liaodong Road.

Longquan Mansion is mainly located in Beijing on Bohai Sea.

To put it bluntly, this place is just Mudanjiang City. It is not a big place, but there are many counties, townships, military towns, and those that should be merged must be merged.

Yongning and Fuli are two attached counties—such as Kaifeng and Junyi in Bianzhou, Chang'an and Wannian in Xijing, Luoyang and Henan in Tokyo.

These two counties are still reserved, one governing the west and the other governing the east, including all the rich plain farming areas around the capital.

The third subordinate county is Sushen County. The county seat is located on the top of the mountain about three kilometers northeast of Huhanhai Waterfall.

The county seat is on the mountain, and the county is located in the vast river valleys in the south of Shanxi, as well as the large lakes and mountains in the south.It is inconvenient for ordinary people to go to the county seat, but the mountain city built by the people of Bohai can't help but use it, right?
By the way, the east, north, and west sides of the city are cliffs, and the south is Mudanjiang.The city wall is built along the ridge, with a circumference of 3590 meters. There are double city walls and moats dug outside the wall.There is a waist wall in the city, with a total length of 800 meters, and there is an urn gate in the waist wall.

The entire city wall is built with huge stones, and there are 15 horse faces. It was built in the early Bohai Sea and continued to be used in the Liao and Jin Dynasties.

For such a fortified city with dangerous terrain, Xia Jun gave up attacking after passing by with a glance.

After the Bohai monarchs and ministers surrendered, the defenders also surrendered.The Xia people took it down without a single blow, and the ancestors of Bohai were about to cry when they saw it.

There is actually a slightly smaller mountain city nearby, with a circumference of 3000 meters, facing lakes on both sides and cliffs on one side.This city was even more outrageous, the defenders scattered and fled.

The solid stone city wall is still halfway up the mountain, with water and some fields, it cannot be surrounded, and the artillery will not work.If there are [-] resolute defenders, Xia Jun will have to attack until the year of the monkey and the month of horses to attack?

To put it bluntly, at the end of the dynasty, all the strong cities are in vain...

The fourth subordinate county is Changping County in the southeast of Shangjing, located in the Malian River Basin.There are important post roads here to connect with Ryuwon Prefecture in Tokyo, and the population is also quite large. Later, the Liao Kingdom moved its people to the west of Liao, and established three counties at once, each with at least [-] households.

Zumu County was set up in the area of ​​Ning'an City in later generations.

Bozhou as a whole is located in Gongzhen County (Hualin Town, Mudanjiang City).

Yingzhou, Solo State, also sent envoys to surrender and set up Baiyan County (an ancient town in Linkou County).

After the merger, Longquan Prefecture of Liaodong Road in Daxia governed the seven counties of Yongning, Fuli, Changping, Sushen, Zuomu, Gongzhen, and Baiyan, with more than 20 household registrations.

Even if some were lost due to the war, if the hidden households were checked, it would be almost offset, or even increased.

Fuzhou, with a population of more than 20, has not yet reached some places in the pass.Such a place, unless it is really impossible to hold, who is willing to give up?

Wuzhou governs the three counties of Yuexi, Wanping and Hongyi.

Yuexi is Acheng District, Harbin, the old county of Bohai Sea.Wanping is located in today's Zhaoyuan area, an old county in Bohai Sea. Its real name is Wan'an. Because it has the same name as the county under Wuguan, it was renamed Wanping County.

Set up Hongyi County with Gaozhou.Gaozhou is one of the two prefectures belonging to the Bohai Mansion. It governs [-] miles north of Yuexi, which is almost the area of ​​Suihua in later generations.

The three counties of Wuzhou saw and saw repeatedly between Khitan and Bohai, and were sparsely populated.Statistics started last year, and there are only about 3 registered households and more than [-] people left.There are almost the same number of Mohe tribes in the jurisdiction, which add up to [-] people, which is really not comparable to Shangjing.

The prime ministers of Zhongshu once wanted to abolish the two prefectures of Hujiefu and turn them into grasslands, but they were stopped by Shao Shude.In the future, prisoners can be assigned to come here. The private households in the Central Plains who oppose the imperial court can also be forced to move here after being defeated, such as the uncles of Wei Bo and Chengde.

In fact, the first batch of immigrants are already on their way, and they will arrive in Mozhou in a month or two at most.They are all family members of the rebels in central Shu. The first batch of [-] households will be resettled in the three counties of Wuzhou.

As for whether the Shu people could adapt to the climate of Wuzhou, the imperial court didn't care.The Bohai people in Hujie Mansion were once taken away by the Khitan, leaving many empty mansions and gardens, and they can just live in them.Take the time to prepare some firewood by yourself, learn how to burn a kang in winter, and cook slowly.

By the way, these Shu people are also a trilogy. There are already a thousand Datong soldiers who can’t wait to line up and are willing to settle in Wuzhou. Many government soldiers were moved.

In fact, it is not only Shu people.

Gao Renhou is besieging Bozhou, and the bandit army has lost consecutive battles, and the battle is going smoothly.

Barbarians are not fools.Luo Taiwang is also very charismatic, cleverly using the situation to divide and disintegrate Yang Duan's tribe.In this context, many tribes surrendered.

Gao Renhou screened the rebels according to the imperial order.

For minor crimes, a little punishment, such as punishing some property and livestock, and pushing a few scapegoats out to kill, will be considered a pass.

Those who participated in the rebellion more deeply, and were forced to surrender under the attack of the king's division, were punished more severely.A considerable part of them will be relocated to Liaodong Road and relegated to trilogy - the space they vacated may be filled by immigrants from Hebei and Kansai.

Take your time, don't rush!
The human resources in the hands of the imperial court are relatively abundant, there is no shortage of food, and the cost of immigration and transit can still be borne.As for the maintenance costs for the first two years after arriving at the destination, part of it will be borne by the customs, and part by the Bohai State. Everyone has suffered a lot. After the first two years, after everything is on the right track, there is basically no need for blood transfusions.

******
Shao Shude, the immigrant maniac, the God of War of the Great Xia, and the loving father of all nationalities is resting in the Cheng'en Hall.

Zhongye, the prime minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came to see him under the imperial edict.

After entering the hall, he looked up and saw his daughter Chu was sitting with the saint, smiling all over his face.

A few Khitan women sat at the bottom, making tea or making snacks, busy with their own affairs.

The sage has trained this group of women so well!Chu Zhongye didn't dare to look more, and saluted the saint and Chu Jieyu respectively.

"Sit down." After getting up and returning the salute, Shao Shude pointed to the chair beside him and said.

Mrs. Chu also got up and returned the gift.

She is nearly forty years old, and her honor is not fading.Saints like to sleep with women in their arms. In the past, Concubine Zhao was the most favored and often spent the night with Saints.Later, it was replaced by her and Zhang Hui.

Saints not only have physical needs for women, but also psychological needs.

This kind of overnight stay is just to sleep.If a sage really wants to vent, he can be served by palace officials and Khitan female slaves, and he will be sent away after venting. Before gaining trust, he will basically not spend the night with them.

Mrs. Chu has served Shao Shude for more than ten years, and she has conceived five children successively—of course, according to the two privately speaking, it is not "serving", but Shao Shude has "used" Mrs. Chu for twelve or three years.

"Is everyone ready?" Shao Shude had nothing to do, he kept flipping through the classics of Bohai.

A country that actively learns Chinese culture is good, and one can understand all official documents.Recently, he was looking through the classics about Beilue, the king of Balhae, and his contacts with Japan and Silla.

The Secretary Supervisor also sent people to transcribe, the original copy was sent to Luoyang for preservation, and the two copies were sent to Beiping and Chang'an respectively for filing.

Shao Shude found that in the foreign trade of Bohai, the Sogdians were the main driving force, not the Bohai people.

The same is true of Silla's foreign trade.

The Sogdian nation does have some knowledge, is good at drilling, and can influence the decision-making of the upper class.

The navigation technology of Balhae State is quite good.Their ships mainly departed from Shioshu, crossed the Sea of ​​Japan, and arrived at Dewa, Kaga, and Noto on Honshu Island. Of the 34 official missions, only 3 had accidents, and 31 went back and forth safely. The success rate is much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know whether it is because of the advanced navigation technology or the relatively small wind and waves in the Sea of ​​Japan.

But the sailors and craftsmen of Longyuan Mansion and Nanhai Mansion can be greatly recruited, and their own level should be very good.

"Your Majesty, all the officials and assistants are ready, and the five hundred guards are ready to go east at any time." Chu Zhongye replied.

"What about fishing nets, looms, tools, and the like?"

"There are more than a hundred chariots and horses installed, and they are all ready."

"That's very good." Shao Shude nodded and said: "There is another thing, first send people to Longyuan Mansion to clean up the palace. I want to meet the chieftains of Heishui Mohe tribes there."

"Of order." Chu Zhongye replied.

"The soldiers and horses who used to go to Guizhou Central and Lingnan West Roads have already entered Annan. The local situation is stable. Chu Shenyi has done a good job. I will remember this. Liaodong Road states, I intend to hand them over to Chu Shenping." Shao Shude encouraged: "Mr. Chu, I am very satisfied. I am rich and have no worries. I should retire with the country. Do things well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Chu Zhongye said with his eyes reddened, choked with sobs.

Mrs. Chu also wiped away her tears, and subconsciously hugged Shao Shude's arm.

The Chu family was originally a local tycoon in Henan Province, but they have become the top wealthy family in Daxia and a benchmark banner in Henan. She is very clear about who this legendary situation came from.

Before the expedition, the family selected a daughter-in-law to offer to the palace, and the saint accepted it and called her "little prince".The young prince is beautiful and young, but he is not very favored, just like Zhao Shu, the niece of Concubine Zhao, which makes people quite worried.

But the fortune of the Chu family has already been achieved, sometimes there is no need to be so anxious, just manage slowly.

"Since everything is ready, I don't worry, you go down and prepare." Shao Shude said.

"I obey the order." Chu Zhongye stepped back slowly.

Shao Shude hugged Chu's soft and delicate body, and asked: "You have heard a lot of these ways of making money, do you have anything to add?"

"Your Majesty, I have already made a lot of money just from fur clothes. With so much money, my concubine finds it hot." Mrs. Chu said softly: "A sheep fur coat in Peking is worth more than [-] yuan, and you can already buy one." Dendrobium grain. If it is a mink fur coat, it will cost more than [-] yuan a piece. The Ministry of Internal Affairs earns so much, it is enough."

"How is this enough?" Shao Shude said: "I didn't earn this money for the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is just a demonstration to let people see how beneficial it is to monopolize fur clothes. These sales, I will share with others, The saver will do."

"Your Majesty has considered enough for the Chu family..." Chu said, "No matter how much, I'm afraid there will be no blessing."

"If you don't accept it, I don't feel at ease." Shao Shude said, "I said that if you are rich and honored, you must do it. If the children of the Chu family are capable, you can recommend one or two, and put one into the Bohai Trading Company in the future."

Chu sighed.

She is the daughter of the Chu family, and even Shao's wife.The wealth of the family is enough. If the saints have the heart, they might as well think more about their children.

"However, what you said is also reasonable. Qiu and Yu, I am satisfied with these two things." Shao Shude said again: "This trip east, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must do a good job, and there must be no mistakes. You will accompany me Go, Hui Niang is not here, I don't know who to talk to about some things."

"The Queen of Bohai, Mrs. Gao, is in the palace, why don't you go to her?" Mrs. Chu said with her head down.

When Shao Shude heard the words, he was not angry but happy, and laughed endlessly.

It was written by the ruler of Bohai Sea, Da Chiu, and he has already seen it.To be honest, I am a little disappointed, a young man who has been hit by repeated setbacks and lost all confidence.Moreover, he has already hated the Bohai family, so it is actually useless.

I wanted to send him to Luoyang for residential surveillance immediately, but after thinking about it, I didn't do so for the time being.Lock it up in Shangjing first, and bring it back when the teacher is in charge. Maybe it can provide him with some fun during this period.

Yue Liduo, who had a big belly, glanced at Mrs. Chu thoughtfully, and became more confident about her future.

On July [-], after Fu Cunshen was appointed to stay in Beijing, Shao Shude took the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, court guards and guards to the east to Longyuan Mansion.
