Chapter 9: Buried in the work
Deng Yulong is still next to Liu Bang.
This is the first time he has entered the ancient city since he crossed, Nanzheng City is not big, most of the city is a one-story tile house, only a few have two floors, most of them appear old, only the main road on the street is paved with bricks, along the way from time to time you can see the left and right sides of the main road of the road, just like the yellow mud road in the backward countryside that I had been to in modern childhood, as long as it rains, it must be potholes and mud.
As for the common people, they are very plainly dressed, and some have patches on their clothes. The physical appearance of these people, if according to modern standards, belongs to the type of yellow muscle and thin muscles, and malnutrition, and not a single fat person can be seen. It's right to think about it, in this ancient era of backward technology and economy, it would be nice not to be hungry.
This is very different from the costume scenes in modern film and television dramas, film and television dramas are generally filmed in film and television cities, the buildings are magnificent, and most of the people in the play are brightly dressed. The real life of the ancient people, that would be so good.
The procession marched along the main road until it reached the county office.
The hall of the county government is quite spacious, with the seat of the county guard at the top of the center, and there are four tables on the left and right sides, and there are futons and square futons behind the tables, and the futons are for people to kneel and sit.
"King Han, please!"
The monarch came in person, and Yang Bing was naturally no longer the master.
Liu Bang sat in the main seat, Xiao He, Deng Yulong, and Xiahou Ying sat in the lower left, and the officials of Hanzhong County sat in the lower right.
Yang Bing first told Liu Bang about the current situation in Hanzhong.
Since the surrender of the King of Qin, although the county government of Hanzhong still sticks to its post and maintains the original order of the local area, some local county orders and officials have fled, leaving the local government in a state of no official governance, and even thieves have appeared, and the county government has limited manpower and is difficult to replenish in time.
After a preliminary understanding of the situation, Liu Bang asked the others to go out, leaving Xiao He and Deng Yulong to discuss.
As the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, Xiao He is known to everyone, but Deng Yulong was able to stay with the prime minister to discuss matters, which made many people jealous and dissatisfied.
Liu Bang said: "Hanzhong and Bashu are the capital for us to return to Guanzhong, and we must control them as soon as possible, and political and military affairs must be put on the right track as soon as possible." Prime Minister, political affairs will work for you, and the widow believes that you can do it well; General Deng, if you have any suggestions and plans for the military affairs of our Han State, you will definitely report to me in the next few days. ”
Deng Yulong said: "King Han, the ministers will do it as soon as possible, but we must first understand the situation of the three counties before we can make the most complete military plan." ”
Xiao He said: "General Deng, if you have anything you need to know, just come to me." ”
After more than ten days of contact, Liu Bang believes in Deng Yulong's ability.
It was getting dark, and Liu Bang and several subordinates had dinner with the main officials of Hanzhong County.
Liu Bang asked Yang Bing to continue to serve as the county guard for the time being, but he had to work under Xiao He's unified arrangement, and since the dynasty had changed, the system would definitely be different.
After dinner, the place of residence was temporarily arranged, Liu Bang lived in the house arranged by Yang Bing in advance, and Xiao He temporarily lived in the county office, which was convenient for understanding and managing political affairs at any time, and lived in the largest bedroom; Deng Yulong also temporarily lived in the county office, and his treatment was second only to Xiao He.
The next day, Yang Bing made a comprehensive report to Xiao He on the situation in Hanzhong County.
Deng Yulong had to understand the situation in the jurisdiction before he could formulate a military development plan according to the actual situation, and he followed Xiao He all morning, sometimes reading the contents of the bamboo slips.
The script of the Qin State is a small seal, if it is placed in modern times, at least half of Deng Yulong does not know it, but fortunately, the original owner of this body is literate. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the illiteracy rate was very high, and most of the ordinary soldiers were illiterate.
Even so, there was no punctuation in ancient times, and it was very inconvenient and unaccustomed to reading.
After learning about the situation in Hanzhong County, he asked Xiao He about the situation in Shu County and Ba County.
In the original Xianyang official office, there are these two county classics, but not as comprehensive as the local county government, although there is only a general description, but Deng Yulong himself had a certain amount of research on this period in his previous life, and the combination is basically enough.
Before King Huiwen of Qin, there was an ancient Shu Kingdom, and its territory was roughly the later Hanzhong County, Shu County, and Ba County.
In 316 BC, King Huiwen of Qin sent Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo south to attack Shu, and the ancient Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and later three counties were set up.
In the past 110 years, the Qin State has been very effective in governing Bashu, especially a few decades ago, when Shu County was too shou Li Bing, who made remarkable achievements in water control, and built the famous Dujiangyan, which can still be used even in modern times.
Although the Bashu region is relatively remote, but after 110 years of feudal governance, it is no longer a wild place, the people here are not counted as outsiders, the Chengdu Plain, the Hanzhong Basin is suitable for agricultural cultivation, in the ancient times when the country was founded on agriculture, Bashu can be described as a big granary.
It is precisely because of the two large granaries of the Guanzhong Plain and Bashu that the Qin State has the capital to dominate the world.
Since it was included in the rule of the Qin Dynasty, until the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the war did not affect Bashu, and this area was not destroyed.
So in terms of grain and grass, the Han Kingdom has no problem being self-sufficient.
As for the population, the three counties together are about 1.7 million, in addition to the Huaxia ethnic group, there are also a number of ethnic minorities, and the climate, customs, and even specialties of each place are all within the scope of Deng Yulong's understanding.
Just to understand the situation, it took Deng Yulong a whole day.
The next day, the second bedroom of Hanzhong County was much larger than the modern bedroom, with a bed and living supplies on the left, and a desk and bookshelf on the right.
Deng Yulong walked back and forth, thinking in his brain about how to carry out military planning and formulate a military system based on the theoretical knowledge he had learned in his previous life, combined with the actual situation of the Han State at present.
He is not a lazy person and can work diligently even if there is little room for promotion in modern times. Accidentally crossing this time and space gave him the opportunity to achieve a great career, and he had greater motivation to devote himself to work.
Unknowingly, at noon, Deng Yulong hurriedly ate lunch and continued to work, except for urinating and urinating, he stayed in the house all day.
"General, it's time for dinner!" Wang Dahu walked in and reminded him.
Deng Yulong looked through the door of the house, it was already evening, and he was concentrating on his work, and time passed really fast.
"Prime Minister Xiao Cheng is waiting for you to come over and dine with him." Wang Dahu said, and then cleaned up the teacups on the table.
When he came to Xiao He's side, he saw him sitting on the futon at the dinner table and looking at the bamboo slips, he was really conscientious, he did his best for the master, and he had such a capable, loyal and diligent courtier, that was Liu Bang's luck.
"Prime Minister, you are really diligent enough, you don't even waste this little time waiting for me to come over."
Hearing Deng Yulong's voice, Xiao He knew that he had arrived.
"I just took over Hanzhong Bashu, and I have a lot of problems, as the prime minister, I want to take care of the political affairs of the Han King, how can I do it if I don't work hard."
Xiao He put the bamboo slips away, and then asked someone to serve the food.
