The next day, Jiang Anyi just entered the lobby, and his subordinate said: "Lord Yu, the county orders of the five counties of Yiding, Jingyuan, Huangren, Linsha, and Yantu ask to see you." ”

Jiang Anyi has not been in office for a long time, and some time ago he went to several counties around Fucheng to promote farming and soothe the people, but he has not traveled to the 53 counties in Huazhou for a while, and Jiang Anyi has not been to these five counties.

These five counties and Hecheng County are all Biansai counties bordering the Western Regions, and the former county commanders of the four counties of Yiding, Huangren, Linsha, and Hecheng were killed together with the former assassin Shi, and the Hecheng County commander Fan Shiben went to the post with Jiang Anyi, while the other three county commanders were promoted from the county commanders of other counties in Huazhou. After Jiang Anyi took office, he issued an official document, so that the county magistrates of each county did not need to rush to visit, and first did a good job of reassuring the people and promoting farming, but he did not expect the county magistrates of these five counties to come together.

After thinking about it, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Please invite them in." "No need to ask, these people are here to ask for the opening of border trade.

Hecheng County took the lead in opening up border trade, and Guo Huaili's caravan went to Tianwei from Jingmen Pass, passing through Wengu, Fox and other countries in the Western Regions, and the news of Dazheng's reopening of the border card had already spread among the countries of the Western Regions. There has been no trade for more than a year, which has stimulated the merchants of the Western Regions to be eager to transport all the backlog of goods to Dazheng, and then transport back the urgently needed goods from Dazheng.

Guo Fatzi's caravan has not yet returned, but the caravans of the Western Regions have entered Hecheng County through Jingmen Pass, and then went to the imperial capital of Dazheng. Under the stimulation of the caravan, Hecheng County changed every three days, and prospered rapidly, the caravan was a flowing galaxy, where to flow to bring wealth to where, the county commanders of several counties in Yiding saw that Hecheng County was thriving, where could they still sit still.

They also heard that Fan County Ling of Hecheng County is the son of Fan Fuzi, and he is a brother of Jiang Thorn History, but Lord Thorn Shi is the Thorn History of Huazhou, and this bowl of water must be more or less flat, and Hecheng County eats big fish and meat, and our counties don't even have soup. After discussing with each other, the five of them made an appointment to meet Jiang Anyi together.

Jiang Anyi stood outside the lobby door to greet him, the county commanders of these five counties were of different ages, the county magistrates of Linsha County had gray hair and looked a little old, the county magistrates of Huangren were in their early thirties, and the county magistrates of Yiding, Jingyuan, and Yantu counties were about forty years old.

Seeing the ceremony, the common name, Jiang Anyi invited them to sit down. Sure enough, these five people came to ask for the opening of the two checkpoints of Cumulus Pass and Zhenshan Pass. Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "The two passes of Cumulus and Zhenshan are still being repaired, and this official promises you that once the repair is completed, the border trade will be opened as soon as possible, and the checkpoint will be opened in early June at the latest." ”

Jiang Anyi didn't tell a lie, Huazhou was in ruins, and it was in urgent need of silver, and the court exempted this year's taxes, but a large amount of money would not be available until the end of the year. At present, the operation of the yamen depends entirely on the tax money paid by Guo Huaili, and without that money, I am afraid that the initial peace in the territory would not be realized. The agreement with Yang Xiangliang was to pay him 800,000 taels of silver every year, and Jiang Anyi took over for nearly half a year, and after the first war, Yang Xiangliang promised to only pay 350,000 taels. 350,000 taels may be worth Jiang Anyi personally, but it is a huge amount of money for the Huazhou government, and Jiang Anyi put all his hopes on the customs duties at the border customs.

It is now May 12, and it is only about 20 days before the beginning of the month, and it is time to go back and make some preparations. Jiang Anyi asked about the situation of the people in these counties promoting farming and public order in the county, and the morning quickly passed in the conversation. This kind of communication between superiors and subordinates is very important, and it is impossible for Jiang Anyi to visit the county seat for a long time, so he can only understand the situation in the county seat through conversations with the county commander, and at the same time judge the ability and temperament of the county commander.

It is a guest from afar, and the wine table is a good place to contact feelings, Zhao Zehe, the county magistrate of Jingyuan County, laughed and said that he was the senior brother of Jiang Tingshi, and he was also born in Zechang Academy. This made Jiang Anyi feel a little like he had met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, and in the envious eyes of others, he had three drinks with Senior Brother Zhao.

During the staggered conversations, Jiang Anyi gained a deeper understanding of the situation at the border. After the war, the city wall was destroyed, the people were displaced, and the people's livelihood withered, which made people sigh. Taking Huangren County as an example, there were originally 5,727 households with a population of about 50,000, and with the floating population, there were nearly 70,000 people at its peak. After a great war, houses and shops were destroyed in the war, and the people died by the sword soldiers, or they were captured as slaves by the soldiers of the Western Regions, and some fled to other places. A few days ago, Huangren County ordered Lu Qiang to count the population, and there were only 12,000 people left in the county, not even one-third of what it used to be.

Jiang Anyi frowned, if he wants to quickly restore the vitality of Huazhou, in addition to opening up commerce and trade, I am afraid that he will have to increase the population, and no one can do much reconstruction work. It will take at least ten years to recover from natural fertility alone, and it seems that finding a way to attract people from other places will be his biggest task in the future.

After sending away the five county magistrates, Jiang Anyi asked Shi Qingjian to be invited. Jiang Anyi did not bring Zhang Keji with him when he came to Huazhou, and Fan Shiben recommended this township leader of Shihe Town to him, saying that he was a rare talent. After Jiang Anyi talked with him in detail, he found that Shi Qingjian had seen people, judging from the deployment of Shihe Town, he was also good at planning and being good at practical things, Jiang Anyi was worried that there was no one around him to help, so he asked Shi Qingjian to be a staff member.

Shi Qingjian is already sixty-three, and he has reached the age of retirement, but it is a pity that he has never met a talent in his life, and he has regrets. Jiang Anyi's invitation came a little late, and the old man thought about it again and again, and put forward three requirements to Jiang Anyi: first, he was old and didn't want to go back to the yamen on an errand, if Jiang Anyi had something, he could ask someone to invite him; The second is that the troubled times are uneasy, he wants to move his family from Shihe Town to Huiye Mansion, hoping that Jiang Anyi can buy a courtyard for him; The third is that his second son Shi Mingyu is a showman, and he hopes that Jiang Anyi can find him an errand in the government and help him in the future to become a petty official like joining the army.

In order to keep Shi Qingjian, Jiang Anyi agreed to everything, and gave Shi Qingjian a settling-in allowance of 1,000 taels of silver, and promised to give him a salary of 500 taels a year. Selling goods to know the family, Shi Qingjian didn't expect that he would be able to meet the master who appreciated him when he was old, so without saying a word, he went back to move. Two days ago, Shi Qingjian dragged his family to Huiye Mansion, and Jiang Anyi bought him a three-entry mansion not far from the west of the mansion, with more than 100 houses, enough to house the Shi family.

Jiang Anyi bought a two-entry mansion in Taipingfang, the imperial capital of Yongchang, and spent five thousand taels, while the courtyard of the third entrance of Huiye Mansion was only eight hundred taels, which made Jiang Anyi sigh that there is too much difference in land prices in different regions, and when the house in Huiye Mansion can be sold at half the price of Kyoto, Huazhou must be Dazhi.

Because Shi Qingjian had just arrived in Huiye Mansion, there were a lot of things to settle down at home, and Jiang Anyi's raid of Washington did not alarm Shi Qingjian, but Jiang Anyi picked eight of the little girls he bought and gave them to the Shi family, and Shi Qingjian's second son Shi Mingyu also made a special trip to thank him.

The Shi family is not far from the mansion, Shi Qingjian came soon, and the people from the yamen had Jiang Anyi's explanation in advance, knowing that this old man was the staff of Lord Shi, how dare they slack off, and respectfully sent it to the front of the lobby. Shi Qingjian was very emotional, as a township where he often went to Zongfeng County, he should be on a errand, nodding in front of the door and the officials, handing over a little money to ask to see the county lord, and now he is struggling in the government, and the officials next to him are afraid that they are not careful, and the circumstances of life change from person to person, which is really emotional.

The official sent Shi Qingjian all the way to the reception hall, Jiang Anyi stood up from the chair and called "Mr. Shi", which made Shi Qingjian very satisfied, the respect of the main family satisfied the vanity of the old man, and gave birth to the consciousness of contributing to the confidant.

After a few cold words, Shi Qingjian expressed his satisfaction with the house that Jiang Anyi bought, and Jiang Anyi turned to the topic. Shi Qingjian knew that the little girl who was sent to his home the day before yesterday was rescued by Jiang Anyi, and sighed: "The adults are kind-hearted and love the people like children, which is really a blessing for the people of Huazhou." ”

Seeing that Jiang Anyi was distressed that Hua Ren was guilty of the crime, and the mastermind of the crime of incurable crimes, Zhenxi Nan Huazheng, Shi Qingjian said: "The Hua family has great influence in Huiye Mansion, and there are people in the government who report to him. The old man thought that in addition to starting with Hua Ren, he might as well post a notice and let those who had lost children in the family come to claim it and take the opportunity to ask about the situation. The servants in the Yazhong issued a deed of betrayal, and most of them had insiders, so the adults might as well arrange for the dog Shi Mingyu to work in the Yazhong, and let him inquire about the news, maybe he could get something. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded in agreement, and said: "Ling Lang wants to enter the government, if it is recommended by me, others will definitely pay attention, it is better for me to let Hua Sima come forward." ”

"That's very good."

When Shi Qingjian was invited to come this time, Jiang Anyi mainly wanted to ask him what good strategies he had to take to improve the situation of the people's livelihood in the border counties. Shi Qingjian lived in Huazhou and was very familiar with the local situation, and when he heard Jiang Anyi ask him, he smiled and said: "Don't ask, the old man should also suggest to the adult, if you want to make the governor stable for a long time, you need to start from both civil and military aspects." ”

"Please sir." Jiang Anyi stood up and moved his seat closer.

Shi Qingjian was a little nervous, this was his first plan to open the door, although Jiang Anyi's question was something he had been thinking about for many years, but in the face of this famous owner, with Shi Qingjian's calmness, he couldn't help but have a little heartbeat. The young master in front of him is the most proud person in the officialdom of Dazheng, at the age of twenty-four, he will temporarily manage the history of the state thorn, and it is a matter of course to enter the pilgrimage in the future, although his age is old, but if the descendants can follow the main family, maybe the historian can also become a prominent family in the future. Jiang Anyi's first question was very important in Shi Qingjian's heart.

Rubbing his beard, Shi Qingjian calmed down his mood and said: "The Western Regions of the Wei and Zheng dynasties were mostly Huairou, and they won over the Western Regions through business and trade exchanges and peace policies, but the wolf ambitions of the Xirong countries were difficult to satisfy, so since the founding of the Great Zheng Dynasty one hundred and eighty-four years, the old man has calculated that there are as many as seventy-six times in the large and small Koubian, and once in less than three years, and there is a coalition army entering the Kou in about ten years, like the situation that the coalition army has captured several counties seven times. ”

Obviously, Shi Qingjian has worked hard, and he is clear about the data of the Western Regions, and Jiang Anyi listens attentively.

"I Da Zheng did not pay enough attention to Huazhou, during the period of Emperor Ping, someone had mentioned abandoning Huazhou, and the Anxi Protectorate was also located in Bingzhou, with only more than 10,000 officers and soldiers at three checkpoints, it was difficult to block the more than 100,000 Western Regions coalition troops who entered the Kou. This time, the three passes were lost, and it took 23 days for the Anxi Protectorate to reach the battlefield, and the Western Regions Army had already broken through the eight counties. Shi Qingjian shook his head and sighed, very dissatisfied with the slow dispatch of troops from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

"As the assassin has the responsibility of defending the border and clearing the Banggi, the year before last, the Western Regions coalition invaded, and the former assassin Shi Ren had no soldiers in his hands, so he could only ask for help from the Anxi Protectorate, and sit and watch the Western Regions army run rampant in the prefecture and county. The Son of Heaven ordered the Anxi Protectorate to leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard it, which is the Son of Heaven's compassion for the Lord, which shows the deep affection of the Lord. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Shi, I'm still waiting for your strategy for governing the state." ”

Shi Qingjian's face flushed, he didn't have much contact with Jiang Anyi, he thought that young people like to listen to flattery, and they would talk about it after a few more sycophants, but they didn't expect to be slapped on the horse's feet, it seems that the master is a pragmatic person.

"My countermeasures are military cantonment, division, trade, anti-theft, and education." Shi Qingjian said eloquently: "Juntun, let the soldiers on the spot, self-cultivation, free the people from the burden and the difficulty of turning the grain, this policy as early as the Great Wei period, at the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, because of the great rule of the world, the four seas are peaceful, Gaozu ordered the soldiers to return home to farm, the military tun system gradually disappeared. For example, if there are four major capital protectorates today, the western capital of Anxi has nearly 200,000 soldiers, and the court needs to spend a lot of silver taels every year to transport grain. ”

"The reason why the Anxi Protectorate is located in Bingzhou is because Huazhou is short of food, and in order to ensure its own safety, Huazhou must have at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in the territory to support the assistance of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate. After the war, a large number of people fled in Huazhou, and the land was deserted, if the adults could play the Son of Heaven to move 30,000 troops to defend Huazhou, and settle the fields on the spot, not only could they protect the people in peace, but also not be afraid of the Western Regions. ”

If the soldiers in the army can be used for civil affairs, the situation in Huazhou will be greatly improved, but this matter requires the consent of the Son of Heaven, and Jiang Anyi is not sure.

Shi Qingjian continued: "The strategy of differentiation is aimed at the countries of the Western Regions, the twenty-eight countries of the Western Regions, the largest Rongmi country is only one-third of Huazhou, and the other countries are only a few counties. Adults may wish to take advantage of business and trade exchanges, and the tax of the blind date with my Dazheng is slightly lighter, and the goods are better, otherwise they will be heavily taxed and treated differently. The countries of the Western Regions are greedy for money and profit, and they are naturally divided. ”

"The strategy of trade is the choice of goods, adults can choose luxury things to sell in the Western Regions, and collect their good seeds, iron tools, medical books, craftsmen, etc., in the long run, the enemy will inevitably be weak and I will be strong, and the Western Regions will no longer be troubled. Cooperate with the policy of education, spread our Dazheng culture to the countries of the Western Regions, allow his children to enter Huazhou as officials, businessmen and people, and allow them to preach in Huazhou, tolerate and accept, and rule according to customs. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded again and again, this is called a soft knife killing, but it will take a long time to take effect.

"The means of civil governance need to be matched with martial arts, and the countries of the Western Regions will not dare to face up to our Huazhou." Shi Qingjian saw Jiang Anyi nodding again and again, and said confidently: "The soldiers of the military tun can't put down the drills, and the best ones are formed into a team. There are many bandits in the four fields of Huazhou, so they sweep bandits everywhere, not only for the caravan escort but also for training, and to subdue the Quartet. ”

Jiang Anyi was overjoyed, Shi Qingjian's five strategies are all true, all of them are operable, and he ordered someone to change to new tea at the moment, and the two chatted while drinking, and the more they talked, the more they agreed. Jiang Anyi found that this Mr. Shi can be called far-sighted, and his ability to control the overall situation is still above Zhang Keji. ()
