Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 156
'Enfeoffment? 'As for what Liu Zhang said, if the Nanzhong wealthy people can build a city in the Soyi land after opening up the Soyi territory, they can guard the land here, regardless of hereditary status.Gao Yi, the governor of Gaojiang, had such an idea.

However, it is not like the enfeoffment system implemented by the Zhou Dynasty. After all, the land acquired by the Nanzhong clan belongs to the Han Dynasty in name. It is listed under the list of counties and counties of the Han Dynasty. It is not privately owned by the Nanzhong clan, but Liu Zhang promised to Nanzhong. The hereditary officials of the Zhonghao clan are somewhat similar to the feudal system.

Without having to think too much, Gao Yi figured out Liu Zhang's thoughts with just a thought. His Ming Gong probably had two ideas. One was to use the Han Dynasty to control the barbarians, and to use the Nanzhong wealthy family and these local snakes to suppress the unruly people. The Soyi tribe obeyed the government and did things for the government; secondly, the Nanzhong wealthy tribe used their strength to conquer the Soyi tribe. If they had something to do, conquering the Soyi tribe would inevitably cause casualties and consume money and food. This would weaken the Soyi tribe. A wealthy family in Nanzhong.

It's just that Gao Yi had some doubts. Although the powerful clans' conquest of the Soyi would consume the power of the powerful clans at the beginning, the powerful clans opened up new territories and inherited their officials. As the days later calmed down, the powerful clans that occupied more land would probably be more powerful. It will double every day, and there may be a risk that the tail will be too big to lose.

It's like the emperor of Zhou divided the land and established the kingdom of vassals.At the beginning, the Emperor of Zhou was still the co-ruler of the world, but as the princes eliminated the barbarians in their territories and opened up new territories, their power gradually became stronger than that of the Emperor of Zhou. In the past, Duke Zhuang of Zheng shot an arrow at the Emperor of Zhou, and later, King Zhuang of Chu sought the throne. .

Gao Yi glanced at Liu Zhang, who was sitting at the top and showed no expression of emotion or anger, and then looked down at the heads of the Nanzhong wealthy family who were in high spirits. Then he gave up the idea of ​​speaking out and remonstrating now. He decided to wait until the meeting was over. Go and give advice to Liu Zhang again, reminding his Ming Gong that he still needs to be on guard against the dangers of South China in the future.

'Govern Nanzhong with the people from the south. 'Peng Yi, who was standing beside Liu Zhang, after analyzing Liu Zhang's series of South China policies, these six words came to his mind, which seemed to be very suitable for his Ming Gong's approach.

Lü Chang was originally from a wealthy family in Yongchang County and had served in counties for many generations. He had been an official for many generations and was now appointed as the prefect of Yongchang County. Cuan Xi came from a wealthy family in Jianning County and was appointed as the prefect of Xinggu County. As for Meng Yi of the Meng family, if it were not for treason, For one thing, I'm afraid he is not serving as the county magistrate of Yunnan County, but as the prefect of Yunnan County.

Peng Yi's eyes glanced at the figures of several feudal Nanzhong wealthy clan chiefs one by one. Now three of the seven counties in Nanzhong have fallen into the hands of the Nanzhong clan. In addition, Liu Zhang said that the wealthy clans lured old people with gold and silk. Those with a large number of barbarians were appointed as officials, and the land acquired by the wealthy clans could be hereditary officials.

Peng Yi shook his head and exclaimed in his heart. His Ming Gong was too arrogant. He didn't look like an important official in the clan or a prince who held a state in his hands. He didn't want to take everything for granted. The desire for power in one's hands.Rather, he is like a casual and happy ranger, and a ranger who likes to share his gains with others. In this way, he distributed the land of Nanzhong to a number of Nanzhong wealthy families.

Fortunately, his Ming Gong knew the importance and did not completely dump this piece of cake in Nanzhong to the rich people of Nanzhong to feast on.In Jianning County, Gao Yi was appointed as the prefect, and Gao Yi was given the post of subjugated governor with the power to maintain discipline. Zhuti County, which borders Jianning County to the north, was given to Jing Yi, a loyal minister, and in the middle of Nanzhong. The people arranged in the two counties are not from Nanzhong. Even if something happens in Nanzhong, Jianning and Zhu Ti will not be in chaos, and they can separate the connection between Yuexi, Yunnan, Zangda and Xinggu.

Peng Yi glanced sideways at Liu Zhang, who had a calm expression on his face, and praised him in his heart. This wise man of his had really thought deeply, manipulated his power, won over almost all the sergeants and concubines in the south, and made preparations for dealing with it.

He glanced at the patriarchs of the Nanzhong wealthy clans below again, and saw that the eyes of these patriarchs were all bright, revealing the bright eyes of wolves hunting at night. It was obvious that these people were already very hungry and thirsty. .

If Liu Zhang hadn't still been in charge here, these group of clan chiefs would have gone back to their respective families, beating flags and drums, reading the tribes, going to conquer the Soyi who might intend to rebel, seizing the land and nests where the Soyi had lived for generations, and taking it as their own. own.

'I must have been holding it in for these years. Liu Zhang looked at the chiefs of the powerful clans below with satisfaction. They all looked excited and held their heads high, as if they were about to get up and order troops to attack the Souyi who were causing trouble in Nanzhong at the next moment.

Liu Zhang was not surprised. After all, what he took out was a powerful weapon similar to the enfeoffment system. This powerful weapon was the most effective when opening up new territories.

Why did the Han people go from occupying only some of the best places in Henan and Shaanxi in the early Western Zhou Dynasty to sweeping across the Central Plains, reaching Vietnam in the south, Hu in the north, the sea in the east, and Lintao in the west? They relied on the feudal system and feudal princes to open up the world.

Under the current system of prefectures and counties, the wealthy families in Nanzhong attacked the Soyi and the land they captured was placed under the rule of the government, and the entire land was worked in vain.But now Liu Zhang has promised them hereditary inheritance, and what they take is their own. A person works hardest when he is his own boss. On the contrary, as far as working is concerned, if the reward from working is not completely attractive, it is basically Moyu Zai is just messing around day by day, and he doesn't have the energy to work hard.

However, when Liu Zhang implemented this policy, he did not have the intention of converting the natives to the locals. Currently, there are too few Han people in Nanzhong and too many barbarians. There is no basic base for converting the natives to the locals. He just wants the wealthy families in Nanzhong to open up more Land, take over the fertile land and fertile soil in Nanzhong, compress the living space of the barbarians, increase the population of the Han people in Nanzhong, and make the Han family more prosperous in Nanzhong. As for other plans, we will talk about it later. One generation does what the other generation does.

"These are Zhang's thoughts. I wonder if you all have different opinions, or think there is something wrong with my decision." Liu Zhang smiled and looked at the patriarchs of the Nanzhong wealthy clan below with half-squinted eyes. He asked in a voice, "After I have finished speaking, who agrees and who opposes." '

"Young gentlemen, don't have any psychological burden. You can speak out in a big way and speak your mind. Zhang has always been kind to others and doesn't like to fight and kill. If you have any advice, you can tell it. Don't worry about being offended. If it doesn't go your way, you'll offend me or something." Liu Zhang, who didn't see any movement after a while, opened his mind and looked like he was going with the flow.

"Ming Gong." Finally a clan leader stood up, but this clan leader did not express any different opinions, but showed his loyalty: "The policy of governing Nanzhong just mentioned by Ming Gong is fully supported by this villain. Two words."

"Yes, yes, we are all under the command of Ming Gong." Another clan leader stood up to respond, fearing that Liu Zhang would regret what he just said and give up their right to inherit the official position in Nanzhong.

When one man called, ten thousand men responded, and the Mingtang in Dianchi County became lively. The heads of the wealthy families in Nanzhong responded to Liu Zhang's policy. Liu Zhang's policy was indeed beneficial to them. They could use gold and silk to lure the evil barbarians. As an official, the territory opened up can be inherited hereditary. The conditions given by Liu Zhang were so favorable to them that they could not be unsatisfied.Secondly, Liu Zhang's southern campaign against the rebellious Soyi and Yong clan was like hot soup pouring on snow. These rebellious people were put down in an instant. Now Liu Zhang's army is still stationed in Dianchi Lake, and they cannot be overawed and obey Liu Zhang's orders.

It's just that these clan leaders still have some doubts in their minds, that is, whether Liu Zhang will regret it in the future, and Liu Zhang is currently in charge of Yizhou Mu, but if Liu Zhang leaves office in the future, will he be destroyed and the next Yizhou Mu will not recognize him? This is a policy. If they start working in full swing and finally get some benefits, but then refuse to recognize the new Yizhou Shepherd, wouldn't it be in vain?Some clan leaders are courageous, so a more courageous clan leader attended and made insinuations: "Ming Gong, I don't know if these regulations are written into the law. Secondly, when Ming Gong was in office, we had no doubts, but Ming Ming If the Duke leaves his post, I wonder if the next Yizhou Shepherd will be able to be as dedicated as Ming Gong and do his best for the affairs of Nanzhong."

"Don't worry, these regulations will be incorporated into the laws and regulations, and the stones will be laid as witnesses." Liu Zhang replied with a smile, answering the patriarch's first question, which was that the policies he implemented were real laws and regulations and could not be abolished at any time. thoughts.

As for the second question that the leader of the wealthy clan in Nanzhong had, about the death of the people and the government's demise, Liu Zhang did not guarantee it, but said tactfully: "There is a chaos in the world right now, and I don't know when we will be able to stop fighting. As a member of the clan and an important minister, he will suppress Fuyi." The time of the state may be longer, but I think one day I will leave the official position and take office. I cannot clearly see who will take over as the pastor of Yizhou. I will allow you to wait for three generations to inherit the official position. If you succeed in the future, The pastoralists in Yizhou are kind to me, so I can speak for you and give them a few more lifetimes."

Sometimes what you say is too full and few people will believe it. It is better to say it more tactfully and don't fill a bowl of water too full, so that it won't overflow and more people will believe it.

Just as Liu Zhang expected, the person who attended the inquiry was not dissatisfied because Liu Zhang changed the hereditary period to within three generations. Instead, his face became more and more joyful. The person responded respectfully: "I would like to What Ming Gong said."

As the last doubts of these powerful clan leaders were cleared by Liu Zhang, all the clan leaders attended and respectfully said to Liu Zhang: "We are willing to obey Ming Gong, but we must be driven by Ming Gong."

Micang Mountain.

"Damn, this Micang Road is really difficult to navigate. The government didn't repair it, so it was left in disrepair. It made you and me work so hard... No, let's take a rest. It's really a bit tiring. "Yuan Yue, the commander-in-chief of Jinrenqu, was cursing and chattering, and complained to Puhu, the commander-in-chief of Jinrenqu, who was on the side. He was panting heavily from time to time. He stopped and leaned on the rocks beside the road to rest. .

As Yuan Yue stopped, Pu Hu, whose breathing was still relatively stable, although he did not want to stop and planned to continue on his way, he had no choice but to wave to the marching team and signal his subordinates to rest for a while. Then continue on your way.

Pu Hu took off a wine gourd from his waist, handed it to Yuan Yue's hand, and joked: "Brother Yuan, I think you were blinded by the prosperity of Nanzheng, and your body was destroyed. Swimming in rivers is just a common thing for us people, just like eating and drinking. How can you climb a few mountains and be so tired and panting that you feel like you have lost half your life? .”

Yuan Yue took Pu Hu's wine gourd, pulled out the stopper with one hand, raised the gourd with the other hand, put the mouth of the gourd to his mouth, drank a lot of sweet rice wine, and kept drinking, but it was difficult to respond to Pu Hu. Joking.

"Okay, okay, leave some for Nai Gong." Seeing Yuan Yue drinking water like a cow, Pu Hu was a little anxious. He snatched back the wine gourd handed to Yuan Yue and felt the inside. Then he cursed: "You black boy, you are so ignorant. When Naigong saw that you had finished drinking the wine gourd, he took pity on you and gave you a few sips. You can do well. Five strands were given to Naigong and three strands were given to him. This made Naigong How to reach the south entrance of Rice Cang Road."

"Hey, Brother Pu, you and I are like brothers. Why did you curse me for a few sips of wine? The friendship between you and me is not more valuable than this pot of wine. If you want wine, you can wait until you return to Nanzheng. I'll give you a few drinks, don't be stingy now." Yuan Yue sat slumped on the stone and said with a playful smile.

Regarding Yuan Yue's remarks, Pu Hu was a little speechless. Seeing Yuan Yue's limp appearance, he shook his head and persuaded him: "I advise you to practice your martial arts, quit womanizing, and drink less alcohol. But I heard that you, the black man, took another concubine, which one is this? I remember that you just took the sixth concubine not long ago."

Pu Hu pointed at Yuan Yue when he said this: "I think you have been exhausted by the wine and sex. You have even lost all our skills in looking after people's homes. You have climbed over mountains and ridges, and you are exhausted and out of breath." Maybe, if you tell me, it will make us lose face."

Yuan Yue, who always had a playful smile on his face, turned serious when he was criticized by Pu Hu Yitong. He lowered his voice and said meaningfully: "What Brother Pu said is very reasonable, and it is simply a warning. I have some insights, and I have decided. , from now on, quit drinking.”

When Pu Hu heard this, he nodded first, and then shook his head again as if he thought of something. He frowned and asked Yuan Yue, "What about sex? Just give up drinking, not sex?"

He said earnestly: "You black guy, have you ever heard the Han people say: 'Sex is a bone scraper'? Compared with being drunk every day, being addicted to female sex is more terrifying. Sooner or later, your kidney energy will be drained."

Pu Hu thought for a while and gave an example to warn Yuan Yue: "Do you know that my younger brother Pu Chang is a brave and good warrior, and he has few opponents in Juba."

"However, when he was assisting Liu He in Jingzhou's battle in Liangping County, he was seduced by several prostitutes sent by Liu He. He played songs every day before the battle, which made him weak and exhausted, and his energy was low. He was temporarily useless on the battlefield. Dizzy, he slipped and fell to the ground, and was harmed by Jinfan's evil thief Gan Ning." Pu Hu bit out the word "Gan Ning" viciously. He had a good relationship with Pu Chang and hated Gan Ning very much. I wish I could eat Gan Ning meat and sleep on Gan Ning skin.

Suppressing his hatred for Gan Ning, Pu Hu summed it up: "So, you should know that being addicted to women is terrible, and you should quit as soon as possible."

"The color is a good bone scraper, but I, Yuan Yue, am born with hard bones." Yuan Yue responded to Pu Hu's admonishment, going in with his left ear and out with his right ear. Oil and salt could not enter. He calmed down, and then said shamelessly Said: "Brother Pu doesn't know. It's a thing of the past that sexual intercourse is harmful. I learned a secret technique in the room from my master. In the words of your master, you can collect the yin energy in women and supplement the yin energy in men like us." Yang Qi, the more you have intercourse, the greater the benefit to your body. The concubine I took in recently was given to me by my master."

Seeing Yuan Yue using Zhang Lu as a shield, Pu Hu snorted from his nostrils and cursed: "Nai Gong thinks you are really hopeless. In the words of Confucius, you are a rotten tree that cannot be carved, and a wall of excrement." It’s not okay.”
