Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1265
The anxious atmosphere in Guanzhong lasted for more than half a month, and finally the governor's office in Yongzhou revealed the wind, and confirmed the date for the general's banquet for Liu Xiangxian.

As a result, the atmosphere in the suburbs of counties and counties became high again, and everyone who was interested in it ran around to find out how to join it, and got the chance to face the general.

Yongzhou Governor's Mansion and Jingzhao County Mansion also had many discussions on this matter, how to select the participants, what they considered was not only the banquet list this time.

Because Xingtai and the general mean that it is best to make a fixed ceremony for activities such as the west tour to Guanzhong and banquets. In the future, if there are no special events happening, the general will regularly visit the west , similar ceremonies will naturally be made into a fixed project every year.

Therefore, the best way is naturally to sort out a set of rules and regulations to select the personnel who can participate in the event every year.

In this way of thinking, many scholars and common people in the entire Guanzhong were roughly divided into several groups, each of which selected the best representatives to participate in the banquet in different ways.

And such a qualification to participate in the meeting, once it is fixed by regulations, can be used as an honorary status to reward and commend those sages who are out in the field.

Similar ceremonies are no strangers to the Xingtai, such as the Qing Dynasty in Jiangdong in the early years. After that, the Xingtai will also take a bus every year to visit sages and scholars from all over the country to discuss rituals and discuss politics.

Opening up the way of speaking seems to be just an expression of tolerance, but the deeper reason is actually to strengthen the rule of Xingtai.With the help of these places to see where the situation is, the legitimacy of Xingtai's governance is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and spread to the countryside.

Long before the arrival of the general, Xingtai had drawn up a list of people who needed to be invited for this westward trip.

From the perspective of the industry, the candidates who can be included in the list are naturally not ordinary people, such as Jingzhao Du, Webster, Beidi Fu, Anding Hu, etc., these Guanzhong counties or in the The family clans with long-standing reputations in the local area, or the clans that have been crowned for many generations, are all impressively listed.

After the general arrived in Guanzhong, he also dispatched buses to various counties in the name of Xingtai, each with amulets, and invited these old households in Guanzhong to come to Chang'an to discuss world affairs.

Although Xingtai maintains a style of suppressing old famous families in terms of governance, and has even done cruel deeds such as almost killing the Hongnong Yang family, this does not mean that these local famous families must be driven out.

In the final analysis, the core mission of the Northern Expedition was to wipe out the barbarians and rebuild China, not to engage in class revolution.And it must be admitted that the famous families in these places represent to some extent the essence of the inheritance of Chinese civilization to this stage.

What Xingtai needs to do is not to completely cut them off and destroy them, but to identify, absorb and digest them inside.It is a natural etiquette for Xingtai to invite them to come to Chang'an to conspire with each other.But if these portals respond indifferently to this, or even turn a blind eye, it will be another story, Xingtai will tell them that no one is irreplaceable in this world.

And these Guanzhong aristocratic sects were also very knowledgeable, and they didn't dare to quarrel with Xingtai on this matter, so they sent important clansmen to Chang'an early on, waiting for the banquet received by the general.

And many families took this invitation as an honor and made more announcements.After all, although Xingtai is not lacking in toughness, it still represents where Jin Zuo Zhengshuo is. Since Master Wang entered Guanzhong, except for Hongnong Yang's family who was really ignorant and was slaughtered to stand up, nothing happened. What is the evil deed of insulting and abusing the clan sect.

Although the implementation of various government orders in Taiwan and the establishment of township societies and military government have greatly suppressed their respective townships, but compared with the previous tyrannical Guanzhong and wanton killings of Han Zhao and Jie Zhao, they are still worthy of the rule of benevolence and righteousness. reputation.

It is naturally impossible for the general to visit such a large battle in the west to meet with some representatives of the old clan.

Therefore, in addition to these families personally invited by Xingtai, there are also counties and counties from all over the country who have been invited to join in the grand event.And this part of the counties and counties recommended people, in fact, they are those local Wuzong tyrants who have little reputation and thrived due to chaos.

Although these mighty Wuzongs are not well-known, their control over the power of the country is even more powerful than those family clans whose dead bones are beautiful in the tombs.Even at the level of Guanzhong as a whole, the existence of this group is far from enough to be an opponent of the master of the king, but specifically in the counties, villages and countryside, it is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of Taiwan's decrees in the countryside.

Regardless of whether the family is old or the countryside is powerful, these are some of the remaining forces in the original Guanzhong.Inviting them is to open a window for their opinions, or a channel for venting.Guanzhong is still in the critical period of construction and recovery. Internal stability must take the lead, and if you can beep, don't do it.

This group of people has money and leisure. If they can't join the Xingtai ruling structure through normal channels and stay idle in the countryside for a long time, they will inevitably have distracting thoughts.The selection and appointment of scholars in Xingtai has become a law of its own, and it is impossible to open the door for them. It is also a kind of comfort to give them such an opportunity to express their opinions without harming the identity.

Of course, if only these people were allowed to participate, General Shen would not be so free as to make a special trip to Guanzhong just to appease them.So in addition to this, there are other participants, such as those who are excellent in the evaluation of officials within the Xingtai governance structure, even if it is just a village official, they can also drink with the general, receive rewards and present Play the joys and sorrows of governance at the most basic level.

There is also a part of the big households who pay various taxes. No matter what kind of industry they are in, whether they are merchants, merchants, or artisans, the high taxes they pay indicate that they have made a great contribution to the recovery of Guanzhong, and it is naturally worthwhile. The general came forward to offer condolences and rewards.

However, the last part can be selected is still limited, and most of them are wealthy businessmen from other regions who came to Guanzhong to do business, and there are not many real people from Guanzhong who can be invited.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the foundation has just been laid in Guanzhong, and further construction is still needed. On the other hand, before the arrival of the general, the various tax systems in Guanzhong are still rough, and the government offices at all levels still leave rural households in those places. Great leeway acts as a buffer period.

After various selections, a total of more than [-] people were able to participate in the banquet.Through the selection channels of these selected candidates, we can also see a general result of the operation and construction of Guanzhong in the past two years.There are nearly [-] local township tyrants who have been recommended by counties and counties. It is conceivable that these Guanlong tyrants are still quite powerful.

However, this is unavoidable. We must know that the turmoil in Guanlong did not happen overnight. It began almost from the end of the later Han Dynasty. chaotic period.It has been less than two years since Xingtai restored Guanlong, and it is tantamount to dreaming to completely eradicate the power of local tyrants.

The list of participants has finally been drawn up, and when it is made public, it is natural that some families will be happy and some will be sad.For this grand event, the entire Guanlong people are looking forward to it, but it is naturally impossible to condense it into this list.

Moreover, the Governor's Office had already explained when they announced the list that if they were selected this time, their qualifications could continue to be maintained. In other words, these people would also be honored to sit with the general during his next tour to the west.

With such a small rule, this list is not only a qualification for the banquet, but also represents a kind of recognition from the Xingtai to them. No matter what aspect it is, it can be said to be a kind of honor, a kind of It means that they show off the certification of a group of rural fellows.

And those Shiliu villagers who intend to participate but are not selected will inevitably feel a little bit disappointed, and they will inevitably have some criticisms, but they dare not say it or show it on the surface, questioning the fairness of this list.

After all, regardless of the considerations of Xingtai, since such a list has been drawn up, it means that these selected candidates can represent the entire Guanzhong to a certain extent.If those who were not selected questioned, they didn't even need to come forward, and those village households who were selected might turn against them.

But even if those people are frustrated, they are not completely desperate.Because this list is first reviewed in spring and autumn, and it changes every three years. If the selected rural household representatives commit any evil deeds that violate etiquette or prohibition during this period, once it is verified, they will be disqualified immediately and a substitute will be selected.And in the three-year change of term, there will be a big change of blood covering the entire Guanlong, and the representatives of all parties will return to the same starting point for screening.

With all these arrangements, the meaning of the banquet this time is no longer limited to the presence of the generals, but has become a kind of competition within Guanlong Shiliu, and can even be regarded as a symbol of the country's situation.

When everyone is intoxicated by it and is uncertain about joys and sorrows, few people can jump out and clearly realize that the original rural situation and situation are a result of the spontaneous operation of the rural folk order, but the stage is just a Through the arrangement of a banquet, this arbitration right was collected back quietly.

The location of the banquet was arranged on a high slope between the old city and the new city of Chang'an. This high slope is also known as Longshouyuan in the local area. Therefore, although the official did not make any special explanation, the folks already have their own common name. This is named the Dragon Head Banquet.

Although the current Chang'an has been restored, it is mainly focused on the dredging and communication of surrounding waterways and the construction of the city itself.Therefore, the field between the old and new cities still maintains a wilderness appearance, and no buildings have been built.

After being selected as the venue for the banquet, more than [-] dihu slaves from the Weishui Wharf were mobilized here. After seven or eight days of construction day and night, a vast and magnificent stone city was erected.The day the city was completed was also the date when the generals gathered for a banquet in Guanlong Shiliu.

　In the new month, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. . .
