The envoy Huo Yang and his entourage changed out of the official mansion, changed into regular clothes, and dressed up as Handan merchants who came to Juyan to do business.

Then I found a nearby village and approached it.

Before approaching the entrance of the village, a dozen or so young men wearing leather armor and carrying long swords approached on horseback, full of vigilance, and the leader asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"In Zhang'an, Handan, I came to Juyan to do business, passed by Guibao Land, and wanted to beg for saliva to drink...... Huo Yang smiled and said: "I don't know if you can make it convenient?" ”

"From Handan?" The young man on the horse looked at Huo Yang and his party, although he was still a little suspicious, he obviously let down his vigilance, and the sword in his hand was also put away, but the man in charge suddenly asked, "Is there a talisman?" ”

"Take it and take a look at it, make a registration ......"

"Messengers?" Huo Yang was stunned for a moment, when, Juyan actually wanted to check the transmission talisman here?

He was ordered to go to Handan and Luoyang many times to convey the edict of the Son of Heaven.

In his impression, it seemed that only by entering and leaving the fortress of Ayutthaya could it be possible to check the talisman.

Passing by villages and county seats, there is no need for such a thing as a talisman at all.

Those young people, seeing Huo Yang's stunned expression, suddenly pulled out their swords again, everyone squinted, staring at Huo Yang and the others, Huo Yang even found that someone had already touched his hand into his arms, and took out something like a whistle from it, and was about to put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, Huo Yang hurriedly said, "There is a talisman!" There is a herald! ”

He took out an object strung with rope and composed of dozens of bamboo long pieces from his arms, looked for it from it, then took out a bamboo talisman, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Please see, this is a hand......ful of talismans issued by Handan Wei."

The young man at the head took the bamboo talisman suspiciously, looked at it in his hand, and then read it out: "Handan Zuolu Zhang's second son An, seven feet two inches long, white skin and round face, and a mole ...... on his forehead" While reading, he checked his identity characteristics, and only after confirming that it was correct, he waved his hand and said to the person behind him: "Lift the guard!" ”

"No!" The young men behind him agreed one after another, putting away their swords and whistles.

Then, the leader said to Huo Yang: "Gentleman of the Zhang family, this place is the jurisdiction of Juyan Duwei, Jiaqu Houqian Village, in Xia Yangwei, under the order of the township Qiangfu, for this village chief, there were many snubbing before, looking at the gentleman Haihan......" said and returned the bamboo talisman to Huo Yang.

Huo Yang laughed, took the bamboo talisman handed back, and asked, "Dare to ask the lieutenant chief, why do you ask for a bamboo talisman below?" ”

Yang Wei smiled, faced the north and arched his hand: "The gentleman doesn't know, this Eagle General Yang's order is also: cover the people who enter and leave the village and the city, regardless of the origin, should check their biography, record their names, and record their entry and exit times, it is better to order, Lizheng and the township officials are whipped thirty, and the Qiang Fu is fined three gold, and the flogging is fifty ......."

As he spoke, he beckoned behind him, and immediately someone came running with pen and ink and a roll of bamboo slips.

Yang Wei looked at Huo Yang and his party with a smile, and said, "All the princes have come to register, and report their names, places of origin, and ......."

Huo Yang listened, his heart was shocked, and he asked, "Is it the same for Juyan?" ”

Yang Wei nodded: "It's all the same!" ”

He turned over and dismounted, took the bamboo slips and pen and ink from a young man, and then spread them out, dipped the pen in one hand, and was about to start recording.

It was also at this time that Huo Yang discovered that this person named Yang Wei was a disability.

He was missing two fingers on his left hand, and his legs seemed to be a little unsteady when he walked.

In addition, Huo Yang also discovered that in the middle of his exposed right sleeve was a hideous scar shaped like a centipede.

The scar was so deep that even though it was healed now, it was as if the muscles of his arm had been separated.

Obviously, this Yang Wei is a disability that has lost the ability to work in the standard sense!

The two missing fingers of his left hand have made it impossible for him to hold objects like a normal person, and the terrifying scar on his arm is enough to make his entire right hand unable to use strength, and at most he can only engage in the most basic daily life, clothing and eating.

High-intensity work is inevitably impossible.

Yang Wei found Huo Yang's expression, he didn't shy away from it, and he didn't have half an inferiority complex, but simply rolled up his sleeves very frankly, and completely exposed the scar on his right arm in Huo Yang's eyes.

It was a long one three or four inches long, at least an inch deep into the muscles along the side of the right arm, and it may have cut the wounds of blood vessels and bones!

Huo Yang immediately formed a picture in his mind - on the battlefield, there was an enemy who raised a knife from the side or slashed at this Yang Wei with a weapon similar to a long sword, and at the critical moment, this Yang Wei subconsciously raised his right hand to block when he didn't have time to dodge, so the enemy's slash slashed directly on his arm, immediately breaking his muscles and blood vessels, fortunately his enemy's weapon was not sharp enough, or his arm had an arm guard at that time, otherwise...... His entire arm will be cut off!

"Your Excellency is from the military?" Huo Yang asked.

"Well......" Yang Wei laughed: "I once served as a soldier for Li Guangli...... he called Li Guangli's name without scruples: "But that's all in the past, I'm no longer a soldier now, and I can't be a soldier anymore......"

Huo Yang listened, dumbfounded, Li Guangli ...... Although it is not as beautiful as it used to be.

But no matter how you say it, it is also a great Han liehou, a top magnate.

Seeing Huo Yang's surprised look, Yang Wei was not surprised.

He squatted on the ground, held a pen, and began to record the number of people, the number of carriages and horses, and the physical characteristics of Huo Yang's party.

Huo Yang narrowed his eyes and glanced at it, he found that the words written by Yang Wei were crooked, and many of them were typos, even if they were written correctly, they were also missing strokes.

Clearly, his writing skills need to be strengthened!

After Yang Wei finished writing, he raised his head and saw Huo Yang's appearance, smiled a little innocently, and said: "Let Zhang Junzi laugh, I have only been literate for three months, and this character is indeed a bit ugly......"

"Three months ......" Huo Yang was shocked: "You haven't been to Mengxue before?" ”

"When I was a child, I had the money to go to school?" Yang Wei laughed: "The children of the Qianshou family, it's good to have a full stomach!" ”

Speaking of this, he arched his hand in the direction of Juyan: "Thanks to General Yingyang Zhang Gong, he will not give up, teach me to write, give me a position, and give me clothes, so that I can have literacy and hyphenation, and know the day when I learn to learn and learn orders!" ”

When Huo Yang heard this, his eyes were even more surprised: "What do you mean...... Did General Eagle Yang teach you? ”

Yang Wei listened and immediately laughed: "What a hero General Yingyang is, how can I have the honor to be personally instructed by the general?" ”

"It's just that I used to listen to Professor Ming Gong under the command of the general in the literature class every three days......"

Huo Yang was even more confused.

I don't understand at all, what is Zhang Chiyou doing in Juyan?

But I didn't want to ask too much, so I had to laugh and bury this doubt in my heart.

Yang Wei received it

With a pen and ink, he handed the registered bamboo slips to a young man who looked no more than twenty years old.

Then he said to Huo Yang: "Now, the registration has been completed, and the guests can follow me into the village......

"It just so happened that yesterday the children in the village hunted wild horses, and if the guests don't dislike it, they can come to my house to eat some wine and meat......

"What's so embarrassing?" Huo Yang laughed.

Yang Wei said angrily: "The guests can eat with confidence, living in the bitter cold land, there are not many around, and the wine and meat are still enough!" ”

Huo Yang immediately became curious: "Where does Juyan come from?" ”

You must know that even in Neijun, even in Chang'an, no one dares to pat their chests and say: Wine and meat are enough.

No one will dare to entertain guests with wine and meat at will.

When relatives come to Chang'an, they may not have meat to eat!

Yang Wei said with a smile: "The guests don't know, General Ying Yang has an order, ordering all the stoppers, beacons, scouts, and militia to focus on hunting and killing wild horses, hares and other genera......"

"Since the beginning of spring, all the fortresses and beacons have responded to the general's order, and the young and strong people in each village have entered the mountains to hunt wild horses and hares......"

"In the past ten months, the meat of the rabbit has been available every day......"

Although Juyan has been developed for twenty or thirty years, in the past few years, Juyan's main goal has been to fight abroad, not to operate.

Juyan's agriculture is basically extensive farming, and it depends entirely on the sky for food.

Basically, the young and strong have gone to join the army, and there is no one to care about the wild boars and hares in the mountains and forests.

And because of human activities, wolves, tigers, leopards and other fierce beasts have almost been expelled.

As a result, wild boars and hares flooded in the Juyan and Junji mountains.

As a result, wild boars often come down the mountain, eat the crops of the people, and even hurt people.

However, because Juyan's main energy was to fight against the Xiongnu, these wild boars and hares were organized to be hunted and killed once something happened.

There is almost no real large-scale and organized purge.

Until that Zhang Chiyou took office, he elevated the threat of wild boars and hares to Juyan's top priority.

Not only mobilized the people and militia, but also carried out hunting and killing activities.

He also ordered the army to devote themselves to hunting and killing, and used it as a training mission.

And it happens that this season is the breeding season for wild boars and hares.

As a result, the people everywhere, the military and the people, suddenly celebrated the New Year.

Every day, people can hunt wild boars and hares.

In some villages, they can hunt enough pork and rabbit meat for the whole village to eat for a month in one day.

In addition, the government also organized the people to carry out fishing and hunting.

Fish are caught from the streams, lakes, and rivers that dot Juyanze.

It also intercepts fish in wetlands, lakes and streams in various places.

Juyan's abundant natural resources have been thoroughly exploited and utilized.

As a result, the stomachs of the people of Juyan were suddenly filled with meat, so that they were able to make some of the old grain into wine.

In particular, the method of brewing Chiyou liquor that spread from the mansion of General Yingyang has spread throughout Juyan in the past few months.

This kind of liquor with a spicy taste, mellow taste, and a long aftertaste is not like the turbid liquor in the past, but is distilled after fermentation of koji, so it is also called liquor.

As soon as this wine spread, it was widely welcomed by the military and civilians of Juyan.

Even the Huns, Loulan, and Cheshi also came here and begged for a lot of money.

A stone of Chiyou wine, now you can even exchange a bullock or a horse from the Hu people.

Therefore, nowadays it is not only the people who are brewing.

The government is also brewing.

General Yingyang even used his own name to extract a large amount of old rice and millet from the entire county official warehouse to make wine.

Grain for livestock, this is a trade...... Naturally, it's a big profit!

Huo Yang didn't know these inside stories, and followed Yang Wei into the village and came to his house.

Sure enough, Yang Wei immediately called his wife and concubine and roasted the meat and rabbit meat.

Dozens of pounds of meat were put on the grill.

The grease sizzled on the fire, the fragrance was permeating, and many people swallowed their saliva directly.

But Huo Yang's attention was not on the flesh, his eyes were floating around, observing and looking.

Since entering the village, he has had more and more doubts in his heart.

Because this village is not at all like what he imagined.

The houses in the village are neat, the roads are clean, and there is hardly any garbage to be seen.

It's as if someone is cleaning regularly every day.

In addition, there are a few more women in the village.

Looking all the way, there were only about ten households, and Huo Yang saw twenty or thirty women.

They were all women who looked to be no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and at most eighteen or nineteen or twenty years old.

They wore Han family robes and combed the temples of standard Han women.

is that the face shape, eyes, hair color, and skin color are not Chinese women.

There are many blonde hair, blue eyes, black hair and brown eyes.

These women are basically not tall and thin, which is completely different from Chinese women. The only thing that may be the same is diligence and meticulousness.

According to Huo Yang's observation, the adult males in this village basically have a Hu wife and concubine.

Like Yang Wei, his four wives and concubines are all orchids!

Moreover, judging from the movements, hands and feet, they are all hard-working, hard-working women.

Thinking of what I saw before, the Hu slaves and maids who were escorted by the army on the road.

Huo Yang couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Where did Zhang Yingyang get so many Hu people?" ”

"Could it be that Zhang Anshi and Han Zeng destroyed a certain Western Regions power?"

For the Han family, the Hu people are not unusual.

On the Hengjie Avenue in Chang'an, there are Hu merchants from the Western Regions everywhere.

In the willow alley of Flower Street, there are beauties from all walks of life waiting to be selected by guests who go to have fun, among them, there are a large number of stunning orchids.

The family of the rich merchant of Chang'an Liehou of 2,000 stone will also buy orchid and humnut in order to force the qualification, especially the family of the liehou, if there are no dozens of Hun slaves, kneeling at the door every morning and evening, they are embarrassed to go out to meet people.

However......

These are all things that cost a lot of money.

Especially the orchid girl with a good appearance, she can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars casually in Chang'an, or even hundreds of thousands, and she may be hundreds of thousands!

However, among this village, it is not uncommon for orchids worth tens of thousands of dollars in Chang'an.

Among Yang Wei's wives and concubines, there is even one

one, the posture can be worth at least hundreds of thousands.

That's weird.

Where did this disabled veteran of Juyan get the money?

Even if he has money, how can he guarantee that he will not be robbed?

With these questions, Huo Yang couldn't hold back any longer, so he looked for a gap, found Yang Wei who was barbecuing, and asked, "Wang Lizheng, why are there so many people in Juyanhu?" ”

Yang Wei listened, and immediately became happy, so he introduced the 'guest'.

Eating wine and meat, listening to Yang Wei's exaggerated or excited or proud narration.

The messenger's eyes flashed with inexplicable color.

Through Yang Wei's description, he can be regarded as figuring out many of his previous doubts.

For example, Shangshu ordered Han Zeng to follow the instructions of the Son of Heaven and implement a system called 'Baojia' in Juyan.

All city fortresses and villages are required to strictly implement the registration system for entering the city and entering the household.

And a perfect organization was established, and the main responsible officials of all villages and city fortresses were replaced by retired and disabled soldiers.

In order to allow these people to carry out their orders well, this Shang Shuling also selected those literate generals from his pro-army of the Northern Army and the officers of the Duwei of Juyan, formed a teaching detachment, and went down to the districts under the jurisdiction of Juyan to teach the disabled soldiers to read and write in turn, write documents, and popularize laws, systems, and rules.

As a result, more than 1,000 grassroots officials in the five provinces of Juyan were given the opportunity to master literacy, laws, and systems.

In this way, Han law and military law were popularized to the common people through grassroots officials.

From this, the entire Juyan forms an impermeable network.

Whether the Xiongnu worked carefully, the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, or the profiteers who colluded with them, they completely lost the opportunity to watch Juyan.

It also made the tens of thousands of Hu slaves and maids in Juyan have no possibility of escaping.

They were enclosed in the side walls and fortresses of Juyan, and became the main force in the construction of Juyan.

Since the beginning of the spring, under the supervision and command of the Juyan government and the army, these slaves and maids have repaired roads, reclaimed wasteland, dug channels, cleared silt, composted and made manure, and built waterwheels......

Wherever labor is needed, they are there.

With the help of these cheap laborers, Juyan's infrastructure, water conservancy facilities, and urban defense have advanced by leaps and bounds.

The people of Juyan no longer have to be busy with farming as in previous years.

They just need to do the farming right now.

Everything else is done by slaves and maids.

Moreover, because of the court's pensions and rewards, they are in place one after another.

Both the military and the civilian population have money in their hands.

As a result, they were able to purchase a large number of new ploughs and livestock.

In particular, the price of animal power such as ploughing cattle and pulling horses is quite low in Juyan.

A bullock only costs three or four thousand dollars.

A good horse is only six thousand.

The average family can buy back a few bullocks.

Even if you really don't have money, you can also lease ploughing cattle and horses from the government for one day, up to 100 yuan.

As a result, there was a scene in this Juyan place that only existed in Guanzhong more than 30 years ago - there are horses in the streets and alleys, and there are groups of people in Qianmo!

As for those orchid wives and concubines, it's even simpler - they were all received from the Yamen of Juyan Duwei!

There are regulations in the Juyan government - if you have no wife, you can behead one level, you can choose one orchid, and if you have a wife, you can behead two levels, you can choose one orchid, if you want to exchange with your brothers and heirs, you will double your military merits.

As long as you have cut off an enemy head on the battlefield, no matter what type of person you are, as long as you don't have a wife, you can go to the government to bring an orchid home......

And if someone in the family has sacrificed their lives for the country or has been injured or disabled on the battlefield, they can enjoy preferential treatment.

This policy is divided into three parts.

First, if he has no wife, he will receive a orchid for free, and if he has a wife, the first orchid only needs to pay half of the military merits of others, the second is on par with the first of others, and the third is equivalent to the second of others.

Yang Wei relied on this policy to exchange his three beheading military exploits for four orchids, and used two beheading military exploits in exchange for two ploughing oxen and a pair of zigzag ploughs, and even received two free Hu slaves and maids from the government to help him farm.

After listening to Yang Wei's narration, Huo Yang felt a pain in his brain.

My heart was even more frightened.

Because, what Shang Shuling did in Juyan was somewhat unheard of.

But some envoys had seen it in the book - wasn't that a variant of Shang Jun's strategy of cultivation and warfare?

If there is military merit, there is everything.

Good land, beautiful house, beautiful wife and concubine, slave and maid......

Without military merit, you deserve to be poor and suffer.

As a result, the Qin army was called the division of tigers and wolves, and the six eastern countries were terrified when they heard that the Qin division had arrived.

Because, there is no army that can compare with the Qin people in terms of combat awareness and combat determination!

The Qin people rejoiced when they heard the war, and mourned when they heard the peace.

Isn't what Xunzi saw and heard in the past a copy of what he saw and heard in Juyan now?

"How can this last?" Huo Yang sighed in his heart: "Zhang Anshi, Han Zeng, Zheng Ji, what kind of characters are they, how can they not know that this Qin government is too rigid and difficult to last long?" ”

Qin Law Qin Law, who doesn't know how powerful?

You must know that the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and if literati and doctors wanted to study the truth and study their careers, it was impossible not to formalize the Qin system, Qin law, and Qin law. In addition, the prevalence of the Confucian law bones made at least the people in the court know and understand the past and present of the Qin law and Qin system.

But why has no one openly called for and demanded that the state reinstate the Qin system?

The opposition of the nobles, scholars, doctors, and landlords is on the one hand, and on the other hand, people know and understand that the disadvantages of the Qin law and the Qin law are also important reasons.

At the moment of Qin's death, even the old Qin people in Guan abandoned the Qin court!

Why?

The rise of Qin is because of the benefits, and the death of Qin is also the benefit.

When the Qin people dominated the four seas, there was no longer a place to plunder and exploit.

His war machine has no source of power.

Everything that was once lovely has become the source of all evil in an instant!

The ancestral dragon is still alive, and it can still be suppressed.

Zu Long died in one day, and without the trump card of suppression, Qin's military morale and people's morale could be weakened.

As a result, the whole world rebelled, and even the Qin people themselves rebelled.

PS: Everyone must take protective measures and avoid going to places with more crowds, God bless China, God bless Hubei, God bless Wuhan

Come on, Wuhan
