The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

By July, the two larger rebel forces in Dajiang surrendered to the imperial court, and ordinary people returned to their places of origin, waiting to divide their land and establish households.

During the rebellion, those who commit crimes against the party will receive a certain amount of amnesty and reduction in punishment depending on the severity of their crimes.

The summary is that those who surrender will not be killed, but those who rebel will die.

As soon as the news spread, small-scale rebel forces in various places were defeated. The garrison army assisted the yamen in handling land distribution and household registration matters, and cleared away the remnants of the rebel party.

The courtiers discovered that although Emperor Guanghe had evil intentions and was quick to kill people, he would bleed into rivers of blood. However, he never killed anyone from the nine tribes and killed many people.

In his opinion, when a person dies, it is over and done with, and it has no meaning at all. It is better to let them work and create some value.

The prisoners who went to Hexi to participate in the construction of military fortifications were already overcrowded.

Emperor Guanghe also took some prisoners to repair the Jiuyuan Straight Road. Some ministers advised him that repairing the straight road would waste people and money.

Emperor Guanghe waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, all the expenses for building the straight road will come from my inner treasury. Aren't there many prisoners in prisons in various places who eat and drink for free? The imperial court does not support idlers. From now on, all prisoners will be detained." Go to labor.”

On the same day, someone opened the inner bank and expressed their determination to repair the straight track.

The ministers felt complicated in their hearts. They knew very well that in the past, the Northern Dynasty did not repair the straight road because the Qiang people were not enough. However, as the Qiang people became increasingly powerful and the Northern Dynasty's national power declined, it was difficult to fill the treasury deficit, making it even more impossible to repair the straight road.

He Ming, the censor doctor, sighed softly: "Now that the new dynasty has just been established, and everything is waiting to be revitalized, the Qiang people will definitely take advantage of the situation and invade in a large scale. It is urgent to repair the straight road. Your Majesty has a long-term plan."

The Jiuyuan Straight Road was built in the early Yu Dynasty. It goes directly from Anjing to Jiuyuan Yinshan Mountain. It only takes one day to reach Yinshan Mountain by riding a light horse and riding fast.

The Jiuyuan Straight Road formed a powerful deterrent to the northern and southern Huns who were entrenched in the grasslands at that time.

In the following hundreds of years, the Xiongnu were beaten to pieces and disappeared from the grasslands. Since then, the grassland people have been unable to recover.

Until the Yu Dynasty, the feudal lords separated themselves and wars continued, and the Jiuyuan Straight Road was severely damaged.

After Taizu of the North founded the country, in order to restore his rule over the Western Regions, he sent craftsmen to repair the Straight Road. However, the project was huge and expensive, and the national treasury was not rich. Let it go.

Ji Ruxuan wanted to personally conduct the Northern Expedition, so this high-speed straight road became an important way to control the border defense and control the Qiang invasion.

With this straight road, the Qiang people will not be in trouble.

In order to build the Jiuyuan Straight Road, the Yu Dynasty used more than 30 soldiers and it took two and a half years to complete the fortifications.

Although the straight road is seriously damaged now, the main body is still there. As long as the money and manpower are in place, the construction can be completed in about a year.

The most important things in the family's private treasury were money and food. Ji Ruxuan was so confident that he immediately mobilized [-] soldiers from various garrison camps.

The garrison soldiers were all recruited from the previous dynasty, with loose discipline and poor training. They usually did things like eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, gathering people for fun, and some even brought trouble to the village.

Ji Ruxuan looked down upon the garrison. Retraining took too long and cost too much, so it was not cost-effective. The court could not keep them in vain. It would be better to let them build straight roads, work more on their muscles and muscles, and tighten their skins. Go back and reorganize.

Worried about insufficient manpower, Ji Ruxuan transferred a group of prisoners from various prisons and designated several road sections, requiring them to be completed within three months to ensure that he could use the straight road to conquer the north this year.

It’s August!

With the vigorous promotion of the gentry from all over the country, the abolition of land and land was gradually implemented, and the restoration of the straight road was on the right track.At this time, candidates for Enke's official position came to Beijing one after another to participate in the "academic examination" organized by Taixue.

Emperor Guanghe was eager for talents and attached great importance to the examination. Three days before the examination, he sent heavy troops to surround the Imperial College and did not allow anyone to approach. On the day of the examination, he even visited the examination room in person to supervise the candidates. They are all handed over to the chamberlains in the palace.

The college examination lasted for seven days. In addition to classics and history, it also included the Six Arts of the Gentleman, rituals, music, and imperial books. The miscellaneous subjects included astronomy, geography, water conservancy, agriculture and engineering, etc., covering a wide range of subjects.

In addition to the overall score, if a certain subject score stands out, you can receive an additional bonus.

The final results ranking will be based on those with the most votes.

The top 500 people with red scores will enter the palace ten days later to participate in the palace examination. The emperor will personally set the questions and conduct a unified assessment on them.

Later generations jokingly said that the first Enke of the Jiang Dynasty was a session of "fighting between gods".

The emergence of Enke made many famous scholars and people with lofty ideals who could not stand the aristocratic family's control of the court and hated the corruption in the officialdom realized that this was an unprecedented major change. The smooth implementation of 'Abolish Ding Na Tian' also reignited the increased their confidence in the new dynasty.

Through Enke, they got rid of the monopoly of the aristocratic families and entered the court. Almost everyone made achievements in their respective fields, which laid a solid foundation for the great cause of unification in the near future. It also fundamentally changed the control of the aristocratic families in the past dynasties. The current situation of the church has enabled Enke and the family to reach a balanced situation.

By September, the first Enke came to an end.

Five hundred students stood out from thousands of troops and officially entered official careers, which had a huge impact on the court. They withstood the pressure from aristocratic families and became the driving force behind various new policies after the new dynasty was first established. These people are called "renovators" in history books.

……

Various reforms and innovations in the Jiang Dynasty are being carried out vigorously, and the situation in the Southern Dynasty is also unstable.

Partisan fighting, power struggle, and constant turmoil in the DPRK and China. Coupled with the bad weather, the central region was affected by the late spring cold. Early rice was sown and seedlings were rotten, overwintering crops were not harvested, and spring plague broke out in some areas.

The imperial court ordered local officials to provide food relief to fight the epidemic, but the local government offices were short of food, so they mostly had to deal with the imperial government.

The best way is to let the court release money, send supervisors to local areas to provide disaster relief, purchase grain from the merchants and gentry, and work with the government to help the people. As long as the three months of drought can be stabilized, until the second half of the year, in the disaster-stricken areas , planting short-term crops such as barley can be harvested in about October, and can also make up for the shortage of food rations due to reduced grain production.

In this way, the people can quickly recover from the disaster.

If the court does not act, then it is a different matter.

Although Jiang Fuguang ignored the government affairs, he couldn't just ignore it because it was related to people's livelihood. He had already submitted a message to the palace earlier, but there was no news from the government.

It's not that she doesn't want to personally come forward to provide disaster relief, it's just that neither Jiang Lingrong nor the Gu family want to give her any chance to demonstrate her virtue and prestige.

Not to mention, disaster relief requires the full support of the court so that local officials can actively cooperate. When she went to Hangzhou to quell the disaster and treat the epidemic, in addition to the full support of the court, the most important reason was that she controlled the entire Hangzhou.

It’s different in the past.

The prototype of the Jiuyuan Straight Road here is the Qin Straight Road. It was built under the order of Qin Shihuang. It is the highest "highway" in Chinese history. It leads directly to Jiuyuan, which is now Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, and the Yinshan area. This straight road firmly controls the northwest border defense. , blocked the massive invasion of the Xiongnu in the late Qin Dynasty. Later, the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu and achieved remarkable results. The Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, all relying on this straight road. In addition, the Qin Straight Road was also an important road connecting the Western Regions, promoting The trade between the Western Regions and the Central Plains was also a hub for promoting exchanges between the north and the south. The Qin Zhidao was still in use until the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was only now that it became a scenic spot. The Qin Zhidao was a powerful weapon for the Han people to restrain foreigners.

Ah, I wanted to directly transition to three years later, but I thought that this would be too hasty, so I arranged the plot of the straight road to let the friends understand that with the straight road and the elite soldiers in the hands of the male protagonist, the Qiang people are not enough. If the male protagonist unifies the cause, it will go more smoothly~
