Chapter 608 County Guard (2)

The problems in Westriver County are many, and they are a bit more complex than they are elsewhere.

The population has dropped dramatically, and the situation of barren farmland is no different from other counties, but the situation faced by Xihe County is somewhat special, and there are more men and girls in other places, and there is a shortage of labor, but in Xihe County, there is also a shortage of labor, but there are more men and fewer women.

As elsewhere, the social structure of Westriver County has undergone a process from complete collapse to reorganization, but the proportion of the population that has lost its balance is the opposite of that elsewhere.

A large number of prisoners of war and the government soldiers settled in Xihe County, which made the ratio of men and women here imbalanced to the extreme......

Of course, this matter is more "shameful", Zhang Yunzhi, as the county guard of Xihe, will not take it to the table and find a mother-in-law for the people under his rule...... I really can't say that.

And now that adult males are very precious, if you say a word here, maybe other counties will seize the opportunity...... Wouldn't it be right for everyone to be even?

Moreover, Xihe County has always been under pressure from the counties of Hedong, because Li Zhongwen and Li Shentong were defeated, and most of the captured soldiers and soldiers were from Hedong, so it was natural for the counties to ask him.

It's just that he gritted his teeth and resisted this matter, without these prisoners of war, what else would be left in Xihe County? This can be said to be a very important asset for Li Po to stay in Xihe County, and Zhang Yunzhi will not let go of it when he dies.

In addition, Xihe County, which is backed by Jinyang and adjacent to Taiyuan County, and is part of the state, also faces the influence of the Jinyang Gate Valve family.

This is obviously an equally unspeakable issue, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the distribution of cultivated land, etc., etc., he, the county guard, has to consider it thoughtfully.

There is no shortage of greedy people in the world, especially the nearby Xihe County is gradually becoming more attractive to them.

In fact, Zhang Yunzhi needs Li Po's support very much, of course, this person is not without support, he is a member of the Zhang family in Jinyang, and he has fallen under the door of Su Yan, the servant of the household department, and has laid some foundations.

It's just that the foundation of Xihe County, which is in charge, is very thin, and my qualifications are shallow, plus I am too close to Jinyang, so there are many difficulties, and the situation is similar to Jing Zhaoyin and Dongjun County Shou in Chang'an, Kansai.

For example, the position of Xihe Juncheng has been vacant, and Su Yan sent a message to him not to worry, which vaguely means that the position of Juncheng will remain vacant.

But some people obviously don't see it that way, some time ago, the people in the Zhang clan discussed it, and the lord of the valve personally wrote a letter to him, asking him to recommend a Zhang in-law to serve as the chief of Xihe County.

It seems to be for his sake, but the family's ideas are obviously contrary to his wishes, and with Su Yan's suggestion in front, Zhang Yunzhi is absolutely impossible to accept such an arrangement.

It is difficult for the children of the gate valve to get rid of their family, so they need to find ways to influence the family's decision, and when the valve owner makes a decision and damages the career of the family children, this can only mean one thing, Zhang Yunzhi is at a disadvantage in the internal struggle of the family.

Li Po naturally didn't care about this, but he was able to give Zhang Yunzhi trust and power......

Zhang Yunzhi said a lot of things, in general, Xihe County, which has experienced the war for a short time, is like this, there is no shortage of food, the population is less than 20,000 households, there are many "bachelors", this year's spring ploughing is very smooth, the autumn harvest is relatively optimistic, at least the people in a county can have enough to eat.

There is also the fact that the bandits in Xihe County have not been settled, there is no way, Xihe County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the Luliang bandits are still there, and the mountain people in Taiyue Mountain are also gangs.

The officials in the county have just finished the spring ploughing, the household registration is still being sorted out, and the distribution of fields has been done, which cannot be blamed on the slow work of Xihe County, because the population of Xihe County has been growing.

At the beginning of the year, he and Zhang Liang borrowed a battalion of soldiers and horses and took the opportunity to break down two walled cities in the mountains.

The captured women and children were all left in Pingyao, and the others were released back into the mountains, and they were asked to spread the word to the homeless, bandits, and mountain people hiding in the mountains, as long as they went down the mountain, they would have fields to cultivate, and the government would not be responsible for what they had done before.

So, before the spring ploughing, many homeless people went down the mountain, they got Liu Chaozong's preferential treatment, and soon became famous in the mountains, to this day, the population of Pingyao County has increased by more than 600 households, and it is the county with the fastest population growth in Xihe County.

In fact, it is a very simple thing, it is nothing more than the importance of grace and power, as long as there is no more war under the mountain, and someone can give a way to live, who wants to starve and freeze in the mountains?

Unfortunately, the troubled times are far from over, and the labor, recruitment, and taxation are still in full swing everywhere, and a large number of displaced people have been created.

For example, in Henan, Lianghuai, Jiangnan and other mountains, there are now bandits' nests all over the place, and there are countless officers and soldiers who are officers and soldiers today, and tomorrow they will run into the mountains to claim the king and hegemony.

The affairs of the bandit family are even more commonplace, and Kansai is actually facing this problem, especially in Shuzhong, where the barbarians and mountain people in the mountains are mixed together, how can anyone dare to walk on the road in a big way in the past few years, which is extremely irresponsible for their own lives.

What makes people laugh and cry is that there are fewer bandits in Hebei and Shandong, because the biggest bandit leader Dou Jiande became the emperor, but in the final analysis, there can only be one reason why the bandits are gradually disappearing, most of the bandits are starving to death in the mountains.

And Jin Di is actually not much better, wherever Li Po is killed, it has become a habit to order the bandits to be the first one, the difference is only that he still has the spare strength to take out food to appease the bandits.

In the eyes of many, this approach is actually a bit thankless, because nowadays the bandits, mainly displaced people, do not pose a great threat to the rule of the princes.

There were very few adult males among them, and after being appeased, they were suspected of wasting food and grass, and they had also caused a lot of trouble to the local government by picking up knives and guns.

At the same time, a big problem is that because of the arrival of the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, in the battles between the princes, the credibility of the government gradually lost.

Even Li Yuan, who is widely famous, does not have a reputation like this, and Li Po, who "loves the people like a son", has a veritable taste.

In fact, the bandits in Xihe County have not become a climate now, there are so many government soldiers, and they are so close to Jinyang, and the bandits are gradually extinct should be the situation that will appear in Xihe County.

It is no longer possible to see someone ascending to the heights and shouting, and everyone is watching, Pingyao County ordered Liu Chaozong to just take the first step and pull out the jackpot.

Because he was in a good mood, Li Po stayed in Jiexiu for two days, met some officials in the county, and when he left, Jin Liu Chaozong drove Xihe County, and the original Xihe County did not drive Jin Xihe County, and solved Zhang Yunzhi's troubles casually.

After sending away His Royal Highness the King of Han, the whole county breathed a sigh of relief, and the county guard Zhang Yunzhi won the personal approval of the King of Han, and the news was transmitted back to Jinyang, and many troubles disappeared immediately.

Liu Chaozong, who was promoted quickly, also felt a little grateful, and his life in Jindi made him more satisfied, but he didn't know that he had missed a rare opportunity.

Because Zhang Liang, Sima of the Han Palace, had recommended him to Li Po to serve in the Han Palace, and he also belonged to Li Po as a registered person here with legendary experience, so Li Po nodded without much hesitation, and when he passed through Xihe County, he wanted to take this person with him and take a look.

But by mistake, seeing that Zhang Yunzhi took him very seriously, and there were many county officials who were absent, Li Po changed his original intention......

Of course, it can't be said whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, it's really hard to say what happened to each person in this year, it is estimated that Liu Chaozong can't think of it even if he breaks his head, and the henchmen of the King of Han who only come and go in a hurry will strongly recommend him, where is this, do you have this friendship?

In short, in the troubled times, opportunities will appear almost at any time, which is not so strange, just like Jindi at this time, opportunities are almost everywhere, depending on whether you have the ability to pick it up.

After Jiexiu, the second stop is Linfen County.

Liu Han, the Taishou of Linfen County, welcomed the Han King Yu Huoyi, and Zhang Liang, who had left before, had already checked it clearly and reported it to Li Po.

This has a personal grudge against Pei Yanqian, who was the former Linfen County driver, at that time Liu Han was the Cheng of Linfen County, and it is estimated that he has not been fighting with Pei Yanqian for a year or two, Pei's power is big, there is Pei's subordinate county guard Wu Boyuan above, and Pei Yanqian below, Liu Han is very uncomfortable.

Of course, this kind of officialdom competition is nothing, you and I still belong to the category of political disputes, but when Li Shentong recruited troops to the north and Li Po, he transferred people from various counties.

Liu Han's eldest son was serving in Jiangxian County at this time, and he was not included in the levy, but at that time, Liu Han and Pei Yanqian were very unhappy about Li Ding'an leading his troops to the south and defending with the enemy in Linfen County.

Pei Yanqian was furious, and when he turned his head, Pei Yanqian asked his clan to recommend Liu Han's eldest son to join the army.

In the first battle of Xihe County, Li Shentong was almost wiped out, and there were many casualties among Pei's children, needless to say, Liu Han's eldest son did not come back, and died in front of the two armies immediately.

Li Po led the troops south, whether it was Pei's or Liu Han's, they all bowed their heads and bowed to Li Po, but how could Liu Han, who had lost his son's hatred, forget that he didn't dare to bare his teeth with Li Po, and all his brains were on Pei's head.

As for the incident that happened before, it was just arranged by Liu Han with the intention of having dates or not.

Zhang Liang didn't check it so carefully, but it was not far from ten.

In fact, in Li Po's eyes, Liu Han, who is from the Shangdang clan, is not on good terms with the Pei family in Hedong, and there is such a thing, and Linfen County can pay for it......

As for talent...... Hehe, if you can have a place in Linfen County, which is close to Jiangxian County, and you have an official who has a gap with the Pei family, what talent do you need to consider?
