Chapter 374
Green ant new glutinous rice wine, red clay small stove.Can you drink a cup if you want to snow in the night?

Back in Guzang, the soldiers took turns to rest and reunite with their families.

Yang Zheng was still busy. Everyone gathered together, discussing matters and cooking the five-cooked cauldron at the same time.

The folks are made of pottery.

Naturally, Yang Zheng used a copper five-cooked pot with five compartments inside, which can cook five flavors, which is similar to the mandarin duck pot and mother-child pot of later generations.

But there are not as many seasonings as later generations.

Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, dug through the Western Regions and brought back many good things, such as peppers, carrots, courgettes, green onions and other vegetables and fruits, which greatly enriched the tastes of the Han people.

The food is suitable, onion, leek, mallow, carrot, tofu, mutton, beef, venison, boiled and roasted with Qiang, and served with Putao wine brought back from the Western Regions, it has a special flavor.

Qiang boiled is boiled lamb and venison, while broiled is roasted whole lamb.

People in the Northwest must roast whole lamb.

Although there is no condiment of later generations, it has the original flavor of the food, which is delicious and delicious.

It is rare to be extravagant twice a year.

Except for Putao wine, the other expenses are not too much, and they are all local specialties.

"In the past few years, the generals have fought south and north to expand the territory, and Liangzhou's original organizational system can no longer cover it. His subordinates suggest re-planning counties and counties." Du Yu is more active than anyone else in official affairs.

Re-planning the state and counties means reshuffle the cards. If it is done properly, it can divide the local scholars and powerful families.

It can also be regarded as a kind of boiled frog in warm water.

Since last year, Lu Zhi and Du Yu have been discussing this matter.

Some counties have a false name, while some areas are densely populated, but there is no county government.

"Yuan Kai can be more careful." Yang Zheng picked up a piece of stewed mutton, which melted in his mouth, and took a sip of Putao wine, as if he had returned to the later life.

However, Liu Heng, Meng Guan and the others were not used to drinking Putao wine from the Western Regions, they thought it was weak and liked millet wine.

Du Yu asked people to lift up the sand table, and they could have a panoramic view of the territory of Liangzhou.

"Hequ has fertile lands such as Xiaoyu Valley, Dayun Valley, Poyan Valley, Dafeichuan, and Fuluochuan. Hequ County can be added, and five new counties of Yu, Yun, Poyan, Dafei, and Fuluo can be established."

Zhong Qiang occupied the big and small Yu Valleys, and he could raise [-] soldiers. With the efforts of Xuanyi's people these years, the Qiang people went to the plateau and entered the Hequ, even if they became slaves, they came here happily.

The population of Hequ is the fastest growing among the counties.

But it doesn't even have the organizational system of a county, which is really unreasonable.

Yang Zheng nodded.

Du Yu continued: "In the north of Zhangye County, there is the North Sea, where the water and grass stretch to the sky. Huo Huoqi built an army horse farm, and then there was a Liangzhou horse. In the Hexi Corridor, my subordinates suggest that this area be divided into Juyan County to restore the four counties lost since the end of Han Dynasty."

Beihai is Juyanze and Juyanhai.

Later generations unearthed the famous Juyan Han bamboo slips here.

Taking a boat from Zhangye down the black water, you can go directly to Juyanhai, just like a fist piercing into the Mobei grassland.

This is where the name of Zhangye comes from.

Without Juyan, Zhangye would not be worthy of its name.

In fact, it is not only Zhangye. Since the end of Han Dynasty, Huma has gone south, and too much land has been eroded in Hexi.

There used to be fourteen counties in Wuwei, but now there are only nine counties left.

Zhangye lost Juyanhai, halfway there.

Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other places were all eroded.

In other words, there is still a lot of room for expansion in the north of Liangzhou.

The current Juyan land is controlled by the Xianbei people, but this is not a problem.

"How can the land of Huaxia fall into the hands of others? If you don't take it back, you will have no face to see the people of the world. Order the handsome chiefs of all the tribes in Liangzhou to come to Guzang to meet me!" Yang Zheng was a little drunk and his face was ruddy.

"It's best if you don't come, the subordinates will lead an army and slaughter them all!" Liu Heng drank more, his face was full of oil and smelled of alcohol.

Lu Zhi frowned and said: "Soldiers have been fighting for a long time, they should not attack frequently, they should recuperate and prepare for the future battle."

"The general wiped out Hexi, and the world is shocked. The unification of Liangzhou is the general trend. These tribes will definitely come." Wei Guan laughed.

It's best if you can't move the knife, but you can't stand some cheap bones and have to jump.

"I'm Daozu, and the other is fish. Let's see how these tribes react." Yang Zheng also felt that the soldiers should take a rest.

Coming back this way, more than 6000 people were brought back by the sons and trilogy of the powerful scholars of the Shi family.

Only one Ma Xun has [-] pieces in the guard camp.

Let the guard camp become extremely inflated.

But eat one bite at a time, walk the road step by step, the most urgent thing is to divide the counties.

At Du Yu's suggestion, Beidi County was also restored.

In Xiping, Changning and Ledu counties were set up again.

Gaochang was divided into two, with Luntai (Urumqi), Pulei, Jiaohe and other cities in the north as Luntai County, and Gaochanglei, Liuzhong, Yiwu and other places in the south as Gaochang County.

Haitou City is located in the territory of Loulan Kingdom. Loulan has a close relationship with the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions. It would be unkind to set up a county on someone else's land.

Still follow the old system unchanged.

So far, Yang Zheng has Anding, Beidi, Wuwei, Jincheng, Xiping, Hequ, Xihai, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Juyan, Dunhuang, Luntai, Gaochang thirteen counties in his hands.

Some places haven't quite taken it down yet, but it's almost there.

The division of counties is also quite ingenious.

For example, Jianwei City is in the south of the Yellow River, closer to Yu County, but because it is the passage of the Yellow River, it is divided into Xiping County.

Pingqiang City and Qilian City are closer to the West Sea, but one is assigned to Zhangye County in the north of Qilian Mountains, and the other is assigned to Wuwei County.

Jiaohe City and Gaochang City are separated by a narrow strip of water, but they were turned into Luntai County...

And so on, most of them are intertwined and check and balance each other. There is me in you, and you in me. It is difficult to form a closed geographical plate.

Du Yu also suggested that the three armies of Dunhuang, Gaochang, and Luntai be designated as the Xizhou Governor's Department, and Hequ, Xiping, and Jincheng be designated as the Hezhou Governor's Department.

But Yang Zheng shelved it.

It sounds nice to talk about the three states, but the population is not as good as that of a county in the Central Plains, so it's a bit ridiculous to spread it.

The flattening of the two-level system of county and county is conducive to the central control of the local area and more refined management.

"In addition to the division of prefectures and counties, we can add Jincao Division, Comfort Division, and Military Horse Division." Yang Zheng held out three fingers.

The six counties in Jiangdong can establish a country, and there are thirteen counties on my own side. The family is big and the business is big, and everything that should be needed needs to be matched.

The throats of east and west businesses are in their own hands, so it is natural to manage currency and control finance. This is a sharp weapon, and it can hurt people invisible when used well.

The Department of Consolation was specially added for the various ministries of Liangzhou. Sinicization requires a gradual process. The Xuanyi Department undertakes too many functions, both internally and externally. Wounded mind.

The army horse department is even more urgent. Yang Zheng's strength is the cavalry. Now that the Hehuang and Liangzhou horse farms are all in front of him, the Liangzhou horses and Xiliang cavalry will see the light of day again.

The establishment of these three divisions can be regarded as a matter of course, and no one has any objections.

Su Hong is Jin Cao Si Cheng, Shao Tong is comforting Si Cheng, and the military commander Yang Zheng entrusts Suo Jing to act as his agent, in order to train him.

These three people are not very old, Shao Tong is a barbarian but is fanatical for China, Su Hong has been in charge of trade for many years, and already possesses practical ability.

Although Suo Jing is young, he is knowledgeable, the only thing he lacks is experience.
