Destiny Only Han

Side hall.

Liu Ying pointed to the mountains and rivers on the sand table: "This place is familiar to you, right?"

Xu Cai nodded.

After all, he lives in Zuofengyi, which is his jurisdiction.

Zhang Busuo smiled and said: "How can the land west of Hexi be unfamiliar? During the war in the past, wasn't I ordered to take care of the salt ponds east of Hedong? Every time I cross the river from Guanzhong to Hedong, I cross the river at Pubanjin."

Liu Ying asked: "What about other than that?"

"Test me?" Zhang Buyu tilted his head.

"Of course." Liu Ying smiled broadly.

"The big river is the boundary between Qin and Jin. The east of the big river is Jin, and the west of the big river is Qin." Zhang Buyi pointed to the sand table: "In the past, to capture this place, Qin and Jin fought frequently. After that, the three families were divided into Jin, and Wei and Qin fought repeatedly. Fight."

"In the Battle of Hexi between Qin and Wei, Wei general Wu Qi led the elite Wei soldiers across the river, and successively conquered Luoyin (now Dali County, Weinan, Shaanxi) and Heyang (now Heyang County, Weinan, Shaanxi), and built a city and fortification in Linjin. "(Note [-])

Liu Ying smiled and said, "Then do you know why Qin, Jin, and Qin and Wei fought here?"

Zhang Buyu shook his head and said nothing.

Liu Ying said: "The big river starts from Wuquan County, Yunzhong County, and ends at the intersection with the Weishui River. It is called the 'Northern Mainstream'. The river from Yumen (Longmen) to the north is called the 'Dabei Mainstream'. This is a series of The canyon has very fast currents and a huge drop!"

"So what the river looked like in the Spring and Autumn Period is what it still looks like now."

"From Yumen to the south, the big river here is called the 'Xiaobei Mainstream'. The river bed here suddenly drops, so the river channel becomes wider and the flow speed slows down. The river channel has changed countless times over thousands of years! The area of ​​​​the beach area Nearly a million acres!”

"The river here is similar to the lower reaches. It is wide, shallow and scattered, with drastic changes in erosion and siltation. There are a large number of beach areas on both sides of the bank. According to previous statistics, the area of ​​the beach area is nearly one million acres!"

“And the bottomland is good farmland!”

"This is the reason why Qin, Jin, and Qin and Wei fought wars many times!"

Zhang Buyu nodded: "I understand. After all, there are millions of acres of farmland, and everyone has to fight for it!"

Xu Cai lowered his head and remained silent.

Liu Ying said with a smile: "Yes, so even after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, Hedong and Hexi were still fighting over this fertile tidal flat!"

"After all, the soil on the beach is fertile, farming is easy, and the yield is high. If we can farm steadily for a few years, we will definitely make a lot of profits!"

"Isn't that right?" Zhang Buyu frowned: "Is it possible that people from Hedong will go to Hexi to farm?"

Liu Ying shook her head:
"People can't run, but rivers can!"

"There is an old saying, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Have you heard of it?"

"I've heard it, I've heard it!" Zhang Buyu nodded repeatedly: "There is singing in the play, but it also says that young people should not be bullied into poverty..."

The corner of Liu Ying's mouth twitched and she said to herself: "The so-called 'the world moves with the river' means that the river will swing from east to west within this section, and 'when the river trend changes, disputes will begin'!"

"For example, I have read the archives before. From the 12th year of the Han Dynasty to the ninth year of the Great Sage, for 15 years, people in Hedong and Hexi fought for land. There were [-] cases in total, with hundreds of casualties!" (Note) two)

"Ten of them were disputes between Neishi and Hedong County!"

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Cai: "Now that the internal history is divided into three, you become Zuo Fengyi, and these disputes will be under your control..."

Xu Cai had a wry smile on his face.

After a while, he bowed and said:
"I have also heard about this. However, I heard that the villagers near the river no longer rely on God and let the river swing to fight for the tidal flats. They have chosen a more proactive approach."

"For example, building multiple water-carrying projects, trying to carry the river to the other side, so as to occupy the river beach after the water recedes..."

"Well, I also heard that the person in charge of the project is a top student from the Imperial Water Conservancy University..."

Zhang Buyi was bewildered.

Xu Guai lowered his head.

What he didn't actually say was that the gang of unscrupulous people were able to build the water conservancy project so smoothly not only with the help of students from the Imperial Water Conservancy University, but also by renting a lot of engineering equipment such as steam excavators...

Therefore, it is clear who should bear the blame!
Liu Ying touched the short beard on her lips, looked around and said:
"I called you here today precisely for this reason!"

"Today's big men want harmony rather than fighting, so we will never allow the villagers to fight again!"

Zhang Buyue sneered:
"People die for wealth, and birds die for food. If it is as you said, there are millions of acres of farmland on the river bank, I'm afraid it's not just the villagers who are greedy, but many rich and powerful people are also eyeing it!"

"So, in future fights, I'm afraid it won't just be about hoes and pitchforks, but it's very likely that they will be about fighting with swords and swords, and using crossbows to pierce the clouds..."

Xu Cai nodded in agreement.

Today's Han Dynasty is full of military virtues, and because of the existence of the military service system, all the people are soldiers. Every year, the county organizes large-scale military training, whether it is veterans who are not in the service period or teenagers who have not yet reached the service period. participate……

If there are more wealthy families supporting weapons and armor, you can imagine the scale of the villagers fighting with each other!
After all, the Han Dynasty has been forbidden to use crossbows since the founding of the country, and now with the development of firearms, the ban on armor has almost ceased to exist in name only...

Liu Ying waved her arms and said loudly:
"That's why the government needs to intervene forcefully!"

"Aren't they building a water conservancy project?"

"Very good, stop everything, and let the government build the river embankments uniformly!"

"The cement concrete kind!"

"I don't believe it. This kind of river embankment can swing back and forth. Will there be 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi?"

Xu Cai agreed with his face.For an administrative officer like him, the items in the year-end assessment include not only money and grain taxes, population growth, road infrastructure, etc., but also public security cases are the top priority!

Without him, the Huang-Lao sect, which occupies half of the political arena of the Han Dynasty, emphasizes "the Holy Emperor rules from the top down".

Therefore, if a vicious case occurs, such as a large-scale fight between villagers, it will be a slap in the face to the big boss in the DPRK.

By then, let alone promotion, he would be lucky to be exempted from punishment!

But the next second, he showed a distressed look and said hesitantly:

"Your Majesty, building river embankments is a very good thing..."

Liu Ying interrupted him directly and waved her hand: "If you say but, there is no need to pave the way!"

Zhang Buyu almost laughed out loud.

After a brief moment of confusion, Xu Cai said concisely: "No money."

Well, he was telling the truth.

Since the Great Sage's reign, the Han Dynasty has gradually transformed from a "small government" in the early Han Dynasty to a "big government". The increase in the number of assistant officials has given the court sufficient manpower to handle matters that were previously delegated to county chiefs because they were too busy. Government affairs.

Especially financial audits.

The figures for the county's financial budget for the coming year in the annual "top plan" can even be accurately "divided"!
While Xu Cai spread his hands and cried, he scolded his predecessor, well, to be precise, Lu Shizhi, the previous internal historian.

After all, the Neishi Mansion had a lot of money at that time, but it never built the river embankment!
Now that he is in charge of Zuo Fengyi, who has been divided into three parts and most of his essence has been cut away, he has no money to build the river embankment!

Liu Ying smiled and said:
"If you don't have money, you can borrow it..."

"Besides, Zuo Fengyi's family is not responsible for building the river embankment. Isn't it also the Hedong County across the street?"

"Hedong County is very rich. After all, they want salt and coal, and both white and black are hard currency!"

Xu Cai's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, do you want me to join forces with the governor of Hedong County, Qihou, to jointly issue bonds?"

The Qihou he mentioned refers to Zeng He. This man was originally an old member of King Bao of Wei. He ran away with Liu Bang by mistake during the Battle of Pengcheng. Later, he became Liu Bang's personal entourage and participated in the Battle of Gaixia, so he was granted the title Che. At that time, there were [-] households living in the city.

Liu Ying nodded: "That's natural."

"If it is some remote and poor county, it would be asking for trouble if it rashly issues debts. But under the feet of Emperor Zuo Fengyi and the prosperous land of Hedong County, the ability to repay debts is naturally beyond question!"

"Besides, building river embankments will not only prevent people from fighting on both sides, but also prevent floods. This is a move that benefits the country and the people!"

Xu Cai cupped his hands and said: "I understand, I will go to Qihou to discuss this matter. Wei Chen resigned..."

Liu Ying smiled and nodded gently.

Zhang Buyi waited until Xu Cai walked away, then looked away from the sand table and secretly looked at Liu Ying.

He has a few guesses.

One of them is naturally what he said before: "People die for wealth and birds die for food."

Liu Ying asked Xu Cai to build the embankment, just to stop some people from taking risks.

Furthermore, the issuance of bonds needs to go through the Royal Bank...

Zhang Buyu shook his head slightly and looked at Liu Ying with admiration.

In the past, Liu Ying's methods of making a fortune were very low-end, usually by embezzling state-owned assets through her powers, but now, she can earn a large amount of interest differentials without making a sound...

It's really clever!

Taoyuan.

Liu De was sitting in the window seat, biting the end of his pen, with a sad look on his face.

After Xu Fu's hard work on him these days, his math scores have improved significantly, but according to the conservation principle, his Chinese scores have plummeted...

On the test paper in front of him, the last question asked him to improvise a poem or a poem based on key words...

This is really hard to kill him...

He thought for a while and then started to answer the questions.

"The lotus pond is big. There are lotus flowers in the lotus pond. There are lotus leaves among the lotus flowers. There are toads lying on the lotus leaves. They poke and jump..."

Note [-]: Linjin was first established by the Qin Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the "Dali Rong" and acquired the territory. It is on the west side of the Yellow River.

Note [-]: These battles have been going on since ancient times.

For example, during the Kangxi and Yongzheng years, "the villagers of Daqingguan (in the east of today's Dali County) and Yuanyang (Yuanyang Village, now part of the town of Yongji City) repeatedly fought over the river beach, involving thousands of people, and the situation was like a public war." More than ten years...

In the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), a war broke out between Zhangdai and other villages in Hancheng County and Xin'an and other eight villages in Ronghe County (now Wanrong County) over the dispute over the beach.Hancheng's side hired bandits equipped with guns, and Ronghe's side faced off and organized a militia to fight.
