Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 295 Find a way out for Liangzhou people

Zhang Zhao took a few knights and galloped on the mountain road of Guzang South Mountain, followed by Guo Tiance, Zhebu Jiashi, Shen Nianban and others.

Guzang Nanshan and the six valleys in its adjacent counties such as Tianzhu and Gulang are the territory of the six tribes of Gamo.

And Zhang Zhao finally found out why the Gamo people were eager to enter Liangzhou, because nearly 200,000 Gamo people lived in this relatively wealthy but not very big valley.

If it is said that the Han people in Liangzhou have a relatively difficult life, then many people at the bottom of Yanmo are living in hell.

No wonder so many people were extremely grateful to Zhang Zhao when he conscripted them to repair the city wall with three meals a day.

Because these young adults who have been conscripted live like pigs and dogs in the six parts of the Momo. Let alone eating three meals a day, even one meal a day may not be able to guarantee enough food.

The entire Liangzhou has become very poor after being ruled by the Tubo people for more than a hundred years.

This also gave Zhang Zhao a problem that needs to be solved urgently. He Zhang Zhao wants to make the term Gamo Liubu disappear completely, and bring them back to their identity as descendants of Longyou Hexi.

The first thing to do is to solve the problem of food for the 200,000 people in the six parts of the village.

If they were allowed to continue struggling to survive like this, the so-called identity of Tang'er and the return of glory to the east, etc., were still too far away.

I can't get enough to eat, and I am on the verge of starving to death at any time, who should care about the other things.

However, what pleased Zhang Zhao was that although Liangzhou was poor, the poverty was not because it didn't have much land, nor was it because its output was not rich.

It is simply because after the Tubo people ruled here, they blocked the commercial roads of the Hexi Corridor, and the long-term seesaw between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo led to poverty in Liangzhou.

This can be seen from the administrative units. The current Liangzhou only has two counties under the jurisdiction of Guzang and Shenniao.

But in fact, Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty had five counties under its jurisdiction. In addition to Guzang and Shenniao, there were three counties of Fanhe, Jialin, and Changsong.

And the territory of these three counties is basically barren now, and there are no living people in ten.

As for the biggest reason for the barrenness, it is not all war, but a reason that Zhang Zhao never thought of - no one knows how to farm.

Before this, Zhang Zhao never thought that farming was actually a skill in ancient times, a craft with extremely high technical content.

This is not to say that if you take a hoe and hoe twice in the ground today, it means that you know how to farm, or that you know how to till.

For the Gamo people who are used to semi-nomadic herding, their farming skills are very poor.

For example, in the small town that Zhang Zhao just arrived in, a little bit of snow and drought may lead to a complete loss of their investment in farming this year.

This reminded Zhang Zhao of the Eight Strategies for Dingliang left to him when Pei Yuan left, the most important of which was to mobilize young men, organize the people to resume production, and build water conservancy.

It seems that Pei Yuan still sees clearly that Liangzhou is no longer the Liangzhou in Tang Dynasty.

Now in Liangzhou, the most affluent land is only more than [-] mu of land outside the city of Liangzhou.

Obviously, in the Tang Dynasty, Liangzhou City could not have only [-] mu of land.

Then the remaining land was all abandoned after years of wars and a large number of Liangzhou Han people fled to Guazhousha.

Once these Han people who really knew how to farm the land left, the surviving Han people were reduced to scumbags, and naturally they lost the desire to study farming.

What are you farming?Was it robbed while waiting to receive the goods?It's better to practice guns and sticks to grab other people's food.

Driven by this kind of ethos, farming soon became a kind of earning that was bound to lose money and be looked down upon by others.

What followed was that the farming technology was quickly lost, the water conservancy facilities disappeared completely, and the productivity of the entire region regressed rapidly.

And the only affluent land managed by the Han people in Liangzhou who were able to cultivate some land has become a good thing that Liubu of the Momo covets.

"Hey! How difficult the people's livelihood is! I really don't know how the official families in Liangzhou City can sleep?"

Zhang Zhao turned around and sighed to Shen Nianban, Zhebu Jiashi and Guo Tiance beside him.

"Originally, a certain plan was to mobilize troops to defeat the Ganzhou Uighurs this winter, but now it seems that the people's livelihood in Liangzhou is so difficult, so I should first find a way to survive for the 200,000 people here.

Guo Canjun, you immediately calculate the inventory with Cang Cao Canjun Zhu Qingquan, and calculate how much food we have left now?
If there is not enough food, you can spend money to go to Lanzhou, Lingzhou, or even go to Ganzhou Uighur territory to buy it.

At this time, the autumn harvest is just over, the food price is lower than in spring, and the young and young of all ministries and families have nothing to do, so XX is going to do two big things! "

Guo Tiance was slightly stunned, he knew that Zhang Zhao was not short of money at all, but he also understood that the money belonged to the rebel army, it was impossible to just take it out, and if it was taken out too easily, how could others cherish it Woolen cloth?

So he didn't intervene immediately to say hello, but said with embarrassment: "Reporting to the military envoy, the Jiedu Yamen does have some good money and food, but it's all for recovering Gan and returning to the homeland in the east!

The sergeants hadn't given out rewards for a long time, if the money and food were used again, I'm afraid they would be dissatisfied. "

Zhang Zhao nodded, indicating that he understood the current situation, but he changed his tone, waved his right hand, and said firmly.

"The generals and athletes should have complaints, which is right, and I will go to appease them. But in the current situation, if everyone can't work together, how can we talk about the prosperity of Liangzhou?
How can we watch Liubu Shengmin continue to struggle with hunger?They are all our compatriots!You don't have to think about this aspect, just calculate the money and food as soon as possible! "

Zhebu Jiashi still didn't quite understand what Zhang Zhao was going to do, but Shen Nianban soon understood, and he arched his hands, tears streaming down his face.

"The country has been trapped here for 50 years. Lai Taibao's power drove away the Tubo people, but the imperial court still treats us like pigs and dogs. Anyone who is virtuous and handsome can care about the suffering of our six tribes like a military envoy. Hexi Longyou has long been a paradise for the imperial court!"

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Zhao eagerly, "Does the military envoy want to restore the land that Liangzhou has reclaimed before, and turn the wasteland into fertile land by the way?"

Zhang Zhao nodded, "That's right! That's what a certain person thinks, not only to reclaim the wasteland into fertile land, but the place that used to be fertile land, although it is now barren, we have to find a way to restore it.

Liangzhou has a radius of hundreds of miles, and it was once a first-class rich land in Hexi during the Tang Dynasty. How could it be possible that there are only more than [-] mu of land?
Today, 200,000 people in six parts are crowded in a land of this size, living only on six river valleys, it will not last long!
Therefore, it was decided to restore the third-tier counties of Jialin, Fanhe, and Changsong. In addition, a new Minqin county could be established between Macheng River and Baitinghai.

A certain person looked at the household registration and map documents left by the Jiedu Yamen in Hexi. If these three counties can be restored, and the new Minqin County can be added, more than 2 million acres of fertile land can be added.

If there are more than two million mu of land, we Liangzhou people will not have to worry about food and clothing.

In addition to restoring land and reclaiming wasteland, a certain man also decided to renovate the roads leading to various places in Liangzhou.

In particular, the road leading to Zendan and Ganzhou in the west and passing through Mount Pipa to Lanzhou in the southeast has been in disrepair for a long time and must be repaired and expanded.

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Shen Nian bowed his hands, "If the military envoy really wants to pass the road to Liangzhou, there is still one place that must be repaired."

"Let's hear it, you are a local, and you must know the specific situation better than an outsider like me!" Zhang Zhao nodded immediately, signaling Shen Nian to speak quickly.

Shen Nianban immediately pointed to the northeast, and said to Zhang Zhao: "From this road to the east, pass through Baishan Garrison, and lead to Huizhou Xinquan Army and Lingzhou Feng'an Army.

When the state controlled Longyou back then, this place was the gateway to Longyou, and it was extremely important. If this road can be re-opened, we can go directly to the bank of the big river and go down the river to Shuofang in a few days. "

Yup!Zhang Zhao woke up suddenly, why did he forget the road leading to Shuofang Jiedushi Lingzhou and other places?
The road mentioned by Shen Nianban should be the road from Wuwei to the east through Jingtai County of Baiyin City to Zhongwei of Ningxia Autonomous Region in later generations.

Both Xinquan Army and Feng'an Army were on the banks of the Yellow River. The former was in Jingtai County, and the latter was near Zhongwei City. Later generations took this road from eastern Gansu to Ningxia.

It wasn't until this time that Zorbu Jiashi knew what Zhang Zhao was going to do?

He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said to Zhang Zhao with great emotion and even a feeling of looking at a silly boy.

"If the military envoys want to reclaim more than 2 million acres of land in Liangzhou, and repair the three roads leading to Ganzhou, Lanzhou and Shuofang, I'm afraid they won't be able to get it without millions of passes."

The implication is, if he has 1 million pennies, why bother to do these strenuous tasks? Wouldn’t it be nice to save it and occupy a place to be a local tyrant?
Zhang Zhao smiled, thinking that he was right, he looked at Zhebu Jiashi and said, "1 million guns! If I hadn't been unwilling, taking this 1 million guns would be enough for me, Zhang Zhao, to enjoy life for the rest of my life. It can still be used by children and grandchildren, why bother to do this?"

"A certain army envoy, the gods and Buddhas in the sky really couldn't bear the suffering of our six tribes, and specially sent the army envoy to come down to save us as Dharma King Bodhisattva.

The Shen family of Yangfeigu is willing to listen to the dispatch of the military envoy, and we will do whatever the military envoy wants us to do! "

"That's good!" Zhang Zhao exclaimed loudly with Shen Nianban's words: "I want to transfer your Shen family and Dingkou to Fanhe County west of Liangzhou and Jiaocheng Shouzhuo and Dadoujuncheng. where.

It is close to Yanzhi Mountain, tens of miles to the west is Zendan, an important town in Ganzhou, and tens of miles further to Zendan, is where Ganzhou City is located.

Go back and discuss with your father to see if the Shen family is willing to take on this important task?

As for the land in Yangfei Valley, you can also leave hundreds of households to continue farming and grazing here. The land that belongs to your father and son will still belong to you. "

Shen Nian was silent for a while, and then forked his hands heavily, "A military envoy can even give away millions of dollars in wealth, so what's the point of our Shen family making a small sacrifice?
There is no need to discuss with my father. My father has already told me when he came that as long as it is an order issued by the military history, there is no need to discuss with him, and I can obey it. "

Shen Nian knew that since their Shen family was the first to board Zhang Zhao's thief ship, they must not do anticlimactic things anymore, and if they are determined to follow, they should act like followers.

And this is not a bad thing. Although Fanhe County and Jiaocheng are guarding and where the Great Fighting Army is located, it looks quite deserted at present, but as long as the Liangzhou Prefecture Government allocates money and people to rest, it can be restored in a few years. Prosperous.

Zhang Zhao nodded in satisfaction. Yang Feigu's Shen family has always been a smart person among the six parts, and for such smart people, he will definitely reward them greatly.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao immediately took Shen Nian's hand and said: "When the imperial court's edict to appoint the post arrives, I will immediately appoint your father as the Deputy Envoy of Yingtian of Hexi Jiedu Yamen and the county magistrate of Fanhe County!"

Zhebu Jiashi rolled his eyes. Of course he is also a smart person. If he is not smart, how can he integrate the six parts of the Momo after more than ten years?
Seeing that although the Shen family was going to move from Yangfei Valley, it would be a short-term loss, but in the long-term it would be profitable, and Zhang Zhao didn't seem to want to kill the donkey, so he immediately felt relieved.

And although Hongyuan Gubu is much richer than Yangfei Gubu, it is not from his Zhebu family!Their control in the Hongyuan Valley is not as good as that of the Shen family in the Yangfei Valley.

The Shen family was united by one family, but they were actually a tribal alliance mixed with Tuyuhun, Qiang and other small tribes.

Instead of letting other smart people in the tribe 'sell' it to Zhang Zhao, it's better for him to use it as a step up.

So Zhebu Jiashi arched his hands together, and said to Zhang Zhao, "Military history should not be favoritism! My Zhebu family is also willing to serve the military envoy!"

clever!Zhang Zhao sighed in his heart, so he pointed to the north and said to Zhebu Jiashi: "From Liangzhou to the north, there is Xiutu City, and further north from Xiutu City is Mingwei Shubao, which is the place where you went to meet me that day. .

The Macheng River passes through Mingwei Fortress. Although there are some sandy land on the left and right, the valley area is quite rich.

As for the Baiting Sea and Xiutu Lake where the Macheng River flows into, it is the former Baiting of the Tang Dynasty where the Baiting was guarded. The blue waves are clear and the green grass is leisurely. It can also be used for grazing or farming.

It would be better if the leader of Zhebu led the Hongyuan Valley Department to move to the area from Mingwei Shubao to Baiting Shouzhuo. A certain person wanted to set up Minqin County here. At that time, he would also appoint you as the Tuiguan of Hexi Jiedu Yamen and the magistrate of Minqin County. "

Zhebu Jiashi was overjoyed, "So I'm here to thank the military envoy for his kindness!"

He knew that this time he took the initiative to stand out, he really made a lot of money!

Macheng River has plenty of water, Baiting Shouzhuo and Xiu Tuze's wealth, he has heard of it before, but the lack of development, this time he can get the post of magistrate of Minqin County, far more than he was trapped in the Hongyuan Valley much better.

Zhang Zhao was also basically relieved. Among the original six tribes, the Han people were headed by the Shen family, and the rest of the tribes were headed by the Zhebu family. Therefore, as long as these two tribes agreed to cooperate, the rest must cooperate.

Zhang Zhao planned to let only the general family of Zhao Town of Xiyinghe and Zhulu Momo of Zamuhe stay in the territory of Liugu Department of Guzang Nanshan, and the rest of the people had to move out to guard the fields.

This is also the best opportunity for Zhang Zhao to completely eliminate the former political entity of the Six Parts of the Momo.

Since the population of Liugubu has all migrated out, the title of Liugubu will completely disappear with the wind and sand of time.

　Either I can’t write it, or I write it too fast as soon as I write it. Today I updated more than 8000 words. Can it be regarded as making up for the day before yesterday?
