Section 685 Comrade
Out of the mansion where the Wusun mission was housed, Zhang Yue turned his head and went to the official residence next to it to visit and comfort Chang Wei, the king of Dian and Zhao Han, the king of Yelang, who lived here.
Thanks to the late great writer, Han Zhonglang will build a festival to make Sima Xiangru's blessing.
The Zhuxia civilization, in the southwest region, has already taken root and laid a deep foundation.
And the Yelang Kingdom and the Dian Kingdom are among the leaders.
Its domestic upper-class aristocracy and system have long been fully sinicized.
The royal families of the two countries have long abandoned the old custom of sideburns and braided hair, and built a city to live in.
Changwei, the king of Dian, can even write a good poem.
A few days ago, when he entered the court to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, he 'felt it' and presented a long poem called "Feeling the Grace of Heaven".
sprinkled with more than 1,000 words, touting the Son of Heaven as a saint king like Yao Shun.
Although the article can only be regarded as average, its format and rhythm are quite neat and smooth, so that all the doctors who originally thought it was Yi Di Lai Dynasty and just wanted to watch the monkey show had to look at it differently.
As for Zhao Han, the king of Yelang, although he can't do any poetry, his fluent standard Yayu and skillful aristocratic etiquette are also high-eyed.
Therefore, there is no obstacle for Zhang Yue to communicate with the monarchs and ministers of these two countries.
And the Dian Kingdom and the Yelang Kingdom have been dreaming of summer for more than 20 years.
Now, once his long-cherished wish has come true, the centripetal force and sense of identity for the Han family have suddenly exploded.
Its loyalty and obedience to Chang'an do not need to be questioned!
In the drought of this summer, Chang'an called on the southwestern countries to contribute to the squatting owls.
The nations were enthusiastic and rushed to send squatting ducks and squatting birds to Guanzhong.
Among them, the most active are the Yelang Kingdom and the Dian Kingdom.
They even sent troops, brought their own dry food, and sent a large number of squatting ducks and squatting owls to Shu County without asking for anything in return, with a total amount of almost 300,000 stones, ranking first among all countries, second only to Hanjian Wei County and Yizhou!
As for now......
The centripetal force of the monarchs and ministers of these two countries to Chang'an can already be compared with the loyalty of the Li Joseon to the Ming Dynasty after the Renchen War!
For the sake of the emperor of the Han family, he can sell his liver and kidney, or even bankrupt his family!
Therefore, when Zhang Yue proposed that he wanted to ask King Dian and King Yelang to do him a favor, the two kings readily agreed.
After doing this, Zhang Yue got up and came to Jianzhang Palace to resume his life.
As soon as he entered the palace, he ran into Shangguan Ji, who had just worshiped as a servant.
"Brother Xian was ordered to meet the Wusun Mission, and he came back so soon?" Shangguan Ji smiled with a smile on his face, greeted Zhang Yue, and asked, "Is everything going well?" ”
"Brother Ming, everything goes well!" Zhang Yue softly approached Shangguan Ji's side and replied, "I think it won't be long before my brother's servant can prepare to accept Wusun Liangma!" ”
When Shangguan Jian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
He, a servant, has officially taken office.
As soon as he took office, he adopted Zhang Yue's strategy, raised the banner of 'eliminating the residual poison of the thief's father and son', and ruthlessly purged the servants from top to bottom.
However, on the third day, he dismissed more than 100 principal officials in the 36 gardens and 24 stables of the imperial servant, and gave them the name of 'thief and minister', rushed home to farm, and even went to prison for the crime.
Then, of course, happily arrange and support their own henchmen.
This kind of thing, as long as you are a political creature, you don't need to learn it, you are born with it.
It's just that......
The majesty is majestic, but when the majesty is over, we have to face all kinds of evil consequences and drawbacks that Gongsun He's father and son have planted in the past 20 years.
In the past 20 years, Gongsun He's father and son have controlled the country's horse politics, acted recklessly, and only used money to make the Han family's Jiuqing official office, which was second only to Shaofu and Jinwu's servant Yamen in combat effectiveness, into a miasma, and there were many problems.
So much so that the number of registered horses in the Han Taifu is only 300,000!
What's more troubling is that it's just numbers on the books.
The devil knows how many of the servants have so many pastures and stables in the horses?
Therefore, Ma Zheng's erosion made him, a new servant, also have a headache.
As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Shangguan Ji really knows the temper and personality of today's son too well.
This majesty has never been a king who is sympathetic to his courtiers, and he has never been too lazy to think about his courtiers.
This majesty looks at people and things, and has always only cared about one thing - the things I explained, have you done it well?
If you do it well, you will naturally be happy, thinking that you are a loyal minister.
If you don't do it well, then you're sorry, no matter how many excuses you have, he doesn't bother to listen.
Therefore, in recent days, Shangguan Ji has focused all his thoughts on one thing - brushing up on political achievements.
And the information provided by Zhang Yue is, of course, the best political achievement for Shangguan Ji.
"Brother Lao Xian is worried about ......" Shangguan Ji said with a smile: "Foolish brother is really beyond retribution......"
Zhang Yue laughed softly: "Brother is serious!" However, the foolish brother really has something to ask his brother...... If it is convenient for the elder brother, please ask the elder brother to transfer two hundred horses and Xin......feng from the servant's stable."
"Xinfeng is now overhauling the water conservancy, and there is a lack of reliable livestock like Qihe!"
He is a camel.
Since Huo Quai, Wei Qing broke the Xiongnu, took the Xiongnu Henan and Hexi, and supported Wuheng to expel the Xiongnu forces from the south of the curtain.
This kind of exotic livestock, which was once not seen in Chinese history books, took root in the land of the Han family, and even had a huge population.
At its peak, in the second year of Yuanzhen, the Han Taifu had nearly 200,000 horses of all kinds of sizes!
However, since the Yuan Hunt, the number of shitas owned by the Han family has been declining, and I am afraid that the population is less than 50,000 so far.
But......
What does it matter?
Shangguan Ji didn't even think about it, so he said directly: "Since it is needed for the construction of Xinfeng, my brother immediately ordered someone to send him to Xinfeng to support His Majesty and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson in the great cause of 'building a well-off'!" ”
Zhang Yue listened, and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, brother!" ”
Camels are very good carriers.
With this batch of camels, the speed of water conservancy construction in Xinfeng can be accelerated a lot.
"By the way......" Shangguan Ji suddenly took Zhang Yue's hand, approached him, and asked quietly: "What do you think of the matter that is now being discussed in the court?" ”
Zhang Yue listened, laughing and not speaking.
The things that Shangguan Ji was referring to, Zhang Yue was clear in his heart.
It is the super projects that the court decided on more than ten years ago.
Five days ago, the former Zongzhengqing Liu Quyu was officially worshiped as the prime minister by the Son of Heaven and was named Penghou.
This is also the practice of the Han family in Pingjin to wait for Gongsun Honghou, and the prime minister must be crowned marquis.
Immediately, Liu Quyu wrote to the Son of Heaven, requesting the establishment of a 'river control capital' to lead the southeast and even the whole country in river control, flood control, canals and other matters.
Of course, the Son of Heaven readily agreed, and also ordered Shangshu to order Zhang Anshi to preside over the preparations for the preparation of the Hedu Protectorate.
Then, the court was in chaos.
Because, when the crown prince Liu took the initiative to write a book, Mao recommended himself and asked to serve as the protector of the river capital.
This immediately made all forces inside and outside the court fight together.
Opponents, such as carp crossing the river.
There is no way, this matter involves too many interests, and it also affects the political achievements of many people. Now, if your prince doesn't say a word, he's going to jump out and pick peaches, and it's too ugly to eat, right?
To be honest, in fact, Zhang Yue also couldn't understand Liu Ju's move.
I'm so anxious!
To be reasonable, even if Liu Ju wants this power, he should be looking for someone to do it, and he shouldn't jump out by himself and promote this matter so conspicuously!
But......
As Liu Jin's minister, Zhang Yue is not easy to say.
As soon as Shangguan Ji saw Zhang Yue's expression, he understood what Zhang Yue meant, and immediately laughed.
……………………………………
Bidding farewell to Shangguan Ji, Zhang Yue went all the way to the greenhouse hall.
Now, it is the middle of October, and the lakes in Jianzhang Palace have also entered the dry period, and the area has shrunk by more than one-third.
Along the way, Zhang Yue could see many workers digging up silt in these dry lakes and loading them out of the palace.
These workers are all the people of Shanglinyuan.
To be precise, it is the tenant farmer of the Liu family, and the most die-hard loyalist of the old Liu family.
Therefore, whatever good things the Liu family has, they are all handed over to them to do.
Just like the conscription in this palace, it is generally issued to these people to do.
Because, the conscription of the Han family to serve the emperor all belonged to the 'foreign conscription' and was paid.
Its remuneration is also bypassed the government and is directly paid by the Shaofu on a per capita basis.
Therefore, the enthusiasm and efficiency of the workers are very high.
When Zhang Yue saw it, he was also emotional.
The project that the country pays for is good.
It will not cause contradictions, let alone affect social order, and can also increase employment and consumption.
If possible, Zhang Yue is eager to turn all projects into this paid foreign service model in Xinfeng.
Unfortunately not.
At least not yet, unless the industry of Xinfeng Workshop Park expands in the future, and the government receives more tax revenue from industrial and commercial trade than from agriculture.
Of course, if the cotton industry is done in the future.
You can use cotton cloth as money, maybe you will have this capital at that time!
Thinking of cotton, the corners of Zhang Yue's mouth overflowed with a smile.
The cotton cultivated in the space has about two or three generations before it can be transplanted to the outside world.
Maybe we can catch up with next year's spring ploughing.
Xinfeng and Lintong County, which has just been incorporated into the Xinfeng system, have large areas of rivers, tidal flats and mountains, which are good areas for cotton planting in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue remembered a letter from Wang Ji, who had just been appointed as the county commander of Lintong County a few days ago.
In the letter, Wang Ji reported to him on the affairs of Lintong in the past month since he took office.
First of all, of course, it is in Lintong that copies the various systems of Xinfeng.
It is not surprising that the law is declared, the drowning is banned, the plan for the construction of small water conservancy is announced, and so on.
What really pleased Zhang Yue was that Wang Ji told him that he organized the remaining sons of ordinary families over 20 years old in Lintong to go to Xinfeng Workshop to work.
This really made Zhang Yue very excited!
Because, taking the initiative to organize the people and improve employment is the business of modern bureaucrats!
But Wang Ji took this step!
What does this mean?
It shows that Zhang Yue's career has the first like-minded comrade!
