Called over the dozen people who were blocking the side of the Yuanmen Road, it was indeed Zhou Yuan's wife Zhao and his concubine Mu Tian and his two daughters-in-law, as well as Zhou Shengqiao, the son of the fourteen-year-old concubine.

Zhou's wife, accompanied by a few old servants who couldn't bear to abandon them in the end, rushed to the prison of the Supervision Mansion today to visit the prison, but they didn't expect Li Zhihe and Yun Puzi to come, and they were blocked from the gate of the prison and were not allowed to enter.

Li Zhihe was not familiar with the women and children in Zhou Yuan's mansion, but Su Hongyu and Chun Shisanniang walked around with them a lot.

Zhou's wife, Zhao, was already a white-haired old woman, but Zhou's concubine Tian was a beautiful woman in her early thirties, who was accepted by Zhou Yuan in the following year when he was appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Works.

After Lü Qingxia, Zhou Yuan and others were imprisoned and escorted to Luoyang by Zhao Mengji, Zhou Yuan and even several concubines of his sons Zhou Wen and Zhou Xing got the letter of resignation, and broke away from the Zhou family, carrying their children who had no status in the Zhou family and therefore did not have unforgiveness for their crimes, or were directly naturalized in Luoyang, or returned to their homeland on a merchant ship to and from Jianghuai to join their families.

Only Tian was favored by Zhou Yuan, and before entering the Zhou Mansion, she was an orphan girl, and she lived in a brothel since she was a child, and she was quite grateful to have Zhou Yuan redeemed herself, and at this time, she still lived with her young son Zhou Shengqiao and the Zhao family and more than a dozen other women and children of the Zhou family, waiting for the final verdict of the Supervision Office on Zhou Yuan and others.

Li Zhihe called them over and walked to the prison together; However, before they could go in, they saw Feng Yi and Kong Xirong riding horses surrounded by several horsemen and guards.

"With such a lively event, how can we be the only ones who are missing?" Feng Yi jumped down with a grin and threw the reins to Hu Sui.

Kong Xirong smiled bitterly, he rushed to Tongguan and Hejin these days to determine the construction of the first central marching army station, and returned to Luoyang last night, wanting to finalize the list of generals of the marching army with the staff office.

"It's a pity that you can't drag the king over, otherwise the old people of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion back then can have a big reunion." Feng Yi said with a shy face.

"It's not that you can't, it's that you don't have the guts, right?" Chun Thirteen Niang ridiculed him.

"It's not that I'm not guts, Shangyang Yuan is staring at too many people, a little presumptuous, not so well-behaved, countless people are attacking each other, who can withstand it?" Feng Yi said.

Han Qian broke too many rules, but Han Daoming, Gu Qian, Feng Yi, Zhu Juezhong, and even Guo Rong, Yuan Guowei and others all wanted to set up the rules as a demonstration, no matter how unscrupulous Feng Yi was, he didn't dare to offend the public.

Su Hongyu was quite emotional, thinking that the Linjiang Hou Mansion back then, it was not false to say that things were people, after all, Yang Yuanpu, Li Pu, Li Chong, Chen De and others were all deceased, but the left and right divisions of the Linjiang Hou Mansion and many old people in the Cheng Bureau, Zhihe and Guo Rong, Kong Xirong, Feng Yi, Chai Jian, An Jixiang, Yuan Guowei, all gathered in Luoyang, and Mrs., Zhou Yuan and Xishui became prisoners in Luoyang.

Zhang Ping, Jiang Shu and others stayed in Jinling.

…………

…………

Before noon, the jailer searched the prison twice to prevent the prisoners from hiding anything sharp, Zhou Yuan realized that today was different from the past, but he counted the days, and looked forward to his family coming to visit the prison today, but he didn't think too much.

In the afternoon, a team of jailers came over and took him, his sons Zhou Wen and Zhou Xing out of the cell in shackles.

Walking to the passage leading to the yatang, Zhou Yuan saw that Lu Qingxia and Yao Xishui were also escorted from the women's prison by the jailers, and his heart was a little weak, and he couldn't help but ask with emotion: "Is it time?" ”

Lu Qingxia glanced up at Zhou Yuan and asked, "Scared?" ”

"......" Zhou Yuan glanced at the two sons behind him, did not answer Lu Qingxia's question, and asked in a muttered voice, "But I don't know what price Han Qian sold us, so he took us to Jinling at this time!" ”

They were first imprisoned by Zhao Mengji, and then escorted to Luoyang, even if the immediate family members can visit the prison, but the women and children of the Zhou family are also under residential surveillance at this time, Zhou Yuan and Lu Qingxia have no idea how far the outside situation has developed for half a year.

However, they no longer had any extravagant hopes in their hearts about what their fate would be, and they had long decided that Han Qian did not directly execute them because their greatest role in Han Qian was to send them to Jinling to be tortured.

Walking into the prison department's yatang, Zhou Yuan and others saw Li Zhihe, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Yun Puzi, Chun Shisanniang, and Su Hongyu sitting in the hall; His wife Zhao, Concubine Tian and others also stood in the corner of the yatang.

Zhou Yuan stood stunned, and then subconsciously looked at Lu Qingxia and Yao Xishui.

He didn't know what had changed in the situation, but Li Zhihe sat on top of the yatang, and the governor of the government and prison, who was not at a low level in Luoyang's official system, only accompanied the last seat, and could also think of their fate, perhaps not as tragic as sending Jinling to trial.

"Captured Guanzhong so soon?" Lu Qingxia seemed to mumble to himself, looking at the clear sky outside the yatang.

Yun Puzi, Han Wenhuan, and Lei Jiuyuan are old and no longer hold any ministry, but they have a high status in Luoyang, Li Zhihe and Yun Puzi sit side by side, and Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, who are Han Qian's cronies, sit at the bottom, and she also guessed that Li Zhihe would inevitably give up the military power of the Liangzhou Army and be transferred to Luoyang to take up a high position.

As a result, this situation must have occurred because the Liang army had recovered Guanzhong, making Yongzhou and Liangzhou one.

"The war ended in late May," Li Zhihe said angrily, although he was convinced that there would be no difficulty in recovering the pass after the great victory, but he could also understand Lu Qingxia's feelings, "The king also remembered the old feelings, and had no intention of sending you to Jinling for trial, and planned to use Liang Lu to sentence you to the ......."

"After recovering Guanzhong, he doesn't need to take care of Jinling's face anymore, or if the Jinling army and people are angry because of this incident and provoke trouble, they can give him an excuse to change guests and send troops to Jinling, right?" Lu Qingxia said.

"I said that Gong Envoy Lu, you have fallen to this point, and it is time to put down your body," Feng Yi smiled and said, "When Zhao Mengji escorted you to Luoyang, if he hadn't interceded for you with his own future, he would have sent you to Jinling to be tortured, so why did Luoyang bother to mess with this wrong?" What do you think you can really count as a bargaining chip? If you can really see through Han Qian's mind, can you fall step by step to today's situation? Besides, it has only been more than 30 years since the fall of the previous dynasty, and the reunification of the world and the end of the war are the thoughts and thoughts of hundreds of millions of people. What excuse must be said, the Book of Poetry says: Under the whole world, it is not the king and the king, leading the land

The shore is not the king's minister; Confucius said: One Kuang world; Mencius said: If there is one family within the four seas, which of these saints listens to the holy words, which one and which point is not much greater than you are upright? Of course, if you can do the bad deeds of bending to the hug, you will not understand these ideals! ”

"......" Lu Qingxia opened her mouth, but she didn't expect that one day, she would be dumbfounded by Feng Yi, a prodigal son.

"I said that Han Qian's decision is really not wrong, it really means that you should be imprisoned forever, take a bunch of moral articles, and let you read them aloud every day, reflecting on the bad things you have done over the years." Feng Yi came with a lot of energy, and he chased and beat people fiercely.

"The king is kind to others, no matter what your guilt is, it will only sentence you to your crimes, and will not punish others - I have been in Luoyang for a while, but I am too busy, I have to get out to visit my wife today, and I hope you don't be surprised." Li Zhihe said.

"Don't screw it anymore, the previous dynasty was shattered, the world was torn apart, the children surnamed Li, you and I were all ruined, and at the same time, how many people were struggling in dire straits? However, the cause of all this has long been wrong. Could it be that you think that today's pillar is still the pillar that caused the destruction of the old dynasty and the destruction of your family? Do you want to vent the resentment in your heart to the monarchs and ministers and people of today's Great Liang? ”

Yun Puzi persuaded with emotion,

"Zhihe's face is big enough, I have asked the king to go to the supervision office to sentence only the two of you to life imprisonment, and you can hand over the list of disciples scattered in the late Red Mansion in various places, I will show my old face, and I will also ask the king to give them a proper placement, and I will also ask the king to give the old Taoist a Taoist temple, so that you can cultivate your self-cultivation in it. Even if you still have resentment in your hearts, you may not care about the rights and wrongs of this world......"

Although Zhao Mengji wiped out Lu Qingxia and others in Mengzhou, there were still some disciples of the Late Red Mansion who were lurking outside Mengzhou and did not fall into the legal net.

Han Qian can give Lu Qingxia some preferential treatment, such as being under house arrest in a Taoist temple for life, which is definitely much more nourishing than the remnants of his life in Zhangyu's cell, but the premise is that Lu Qingxia and they also have to show some sincerity.

Of course, only after the remnants of the Late Red Mansion are wiped out, can the supervision of Lu Qingxia and others be relaxed a little, so as not to make any more trouble.

Otherwise, Han Qian would have left their lives, which would really give Li Zhihe and Yun Puzi a lot of face.

"......" Lu Qingxia glanced at the depressed Yao Xishui, and sighed, she also knew in her heart at this time that no matter how much struggle and resistance she had, it had become meaningless......

…………

…………

Lu Qingxia finally handed over the list of disciples of the Late Red Mansion lurking in other places, and whether it was screening and pursuing, persuading them to surrender, or even persuading some of the disciples of the Late Red Mansion lurking in Heshuo and Hedong to defect and use them for the use of the Military Intelligence Department, it was all Xi Fa'er's responsibility.

Lu Qingxia, Zhou Yuan, and Yao Xishui were sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Liuyunguan, where Yun Puzi was located, to be imprisoned; Although they can't get out of the Liuyun Temple for half a step, they are quite leisurely in the view, and they can still read the Di newspaper every day to understand many things happening in the outside world; They can even get access to the new academic books compiled by Luoyang Comprehensive College, so that they can understand how simple the secrets they have spied on in the past are.

Su Hongyu, Chun Thirteen Niang, and even Ye Feiying, who was pulled to the women's hospital by Yunhe County Lord, would occasionally come to Guanli to visit them.

Zhou Yuan's second sons, Zhou Wen and Zhou Xing, as well as some core disciples of the Late Red Mansion, were finally sentenced to five and ten years of hard labor.

After solving these troubles, Li Zhihe poured his energy into the General Staff's Office, and he found that after arriving in Luoyang, there were still too many things to learn.

In particular, the impact of the new technology developed by Xinxue on various combat methods and logistical transportation and supply is indirectly or directly related to the specific details of the Jinnan combat plan. The clear and accurate estimation of the national strength of the Great Liang is more related to the way and speed of the follow-up war arrangement, as well as the predetermined campaign objectives.

Li Zhi was designated by Han Qian to serve as the governor of the Second Central Marching Army.

In addition to the second son Li Jin, who temporarily stayed by his side, Li Zhihe also specially seconded two senior professors from Luoyang Comprehensive College to serve in the General Staff Office to assist him in having a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Daliang's new academic development system over the years.

In addition to a number of new technologies formally developed and developed by Liyang Comprehensive College and Luoyang Comprehensive College but not yet mature and do not have the conditions for promotion, Han Qian started from Qiuhu Mountain at the earliest in these years, and then went to Xuzhou, Donghu and Chanji Daliang as the lord.

The type, manufacturing level, precision and scale of use of hydraulic equipment have also developed to a jaw-dropping degree in the girder.

In order to provide a stable flow of water for all kinds of hydraulic equipment, more than 1,200 small and medium-sized dams have been repaired and newly built in Heluo, Huaixi, western Henan and Xuzhou in recent years.

Not to mention how many large and small hydraulic equipment have been used on both sides of the river channel downstream of the weir dam, just because after the dam was built, the water was intercepted and stored, so that the upstream water level was raised and the fields on both sides were easily irrigated, so that the Liang State had more than 4 million acres of barren dry land and barren land, which became productive irrigated land.

Not to mention the popularization of a large number of new iron agricultural tools, not to mention the introduction of tens of thousands of animal power every year, not to mention the popularization of new seed selection and reclamation technology, only such a large-scale transformation of dry land into irrigated land can increase the grain of five or six million stone a year with the same amount of labor.

Hydraulic equipment is widely used in mining and smelting processes such as mine mining, ore crushing, blast furnace blast blast and casting forging, coupled with the unique reflective blast furnace technology of Daliang, so that the current annual iron output of Daliang has exceeded an astonishing 18 million quintals, and the cost has been greatly reduced to only one-eighth or nine-half of that of 12 years ago.

At present, Daliang dumped iron tools in Jianghuai, Sichuan, Shu, Qianzhong, Lingnan and other places at about one-third of the iron price in the year of Tianyou, causing the iron industry in these places to be depressed, and the iron ore foundries in Daliang can still make huge profits.

Of course, the biggest benefit is that all kinds of high-quality and cheap iron products in Daliang have been used more widely than ever before, and the scope and depth of application are far beyond the reach of tradition.

In addition to the level of armor and equipment, the level of farming, transportation, and industrial construction has been greatly improved.

Without a sufficiently cheap and abundant supply of cast iron, it is difficult to imagine that one iron girder bridge after another was erected over the mountains and ravines in the territory of the girder.

In addition to the large quantity, the high level of the girder smelting and casting industry is also jaw-dropping.

At present, the hardest carved iron knife can even directly engrave various hard iron materials, which is also a necessary tool for the manufacture of precision instruments such as clocks; For individual spring arm crossbows with high precision requirements, this year's production scale can be broken through, and better materials and more accurate and faster processing speed are the key.

In addition to mining, smelting, casting and other industries, textile, papermaking, oil extraction and other industries, hydraulic equipment has been used in depth on a large scale, compared with the traditional, the cost has been greatly reduced.

And the most direct benefit of this is that during Han Qian's reign in Huaixi, although the territory and the size of the population under his jurisdiction were extremely limited, he was able to produce enough materials for war consumption.

During the reign of Emperor Tianyou, in order to ensure the needs of military supplies and daily supplies for the palace, the generals of the Chu court and the Inner Government Bureau once had more than 100,000 officials, slaves and maids who served as hard labor in various official workshops.

Before Han Qianchan succeeded the lord of the Great Liang Kingdom, the scale of employees in the workshops of Huaixi and Xuzhou could be tens of thousands of people, but Li Zhihe came into contact with the most core data at this time, and only then did he know that the workshops of Tuxi and Xuzhou at that time produced cotton yarn, cotton cloth, iron materials, iron tools, ships, salt, coal, tung oil, paper, linoleum cloth, medicinal materials, etc., and the total scale of materials was about eight to ten times that of Chu Jiang Zuo Jian and the Inner Government Bureau.

At the beginning of Han Qianchan's succession to the lord of the Great Liang State, it was difficult for outsiders to imagine the most critical turning point of the situation at that time, and it was not even Chu Ting's choice to negotiate peace with Han Qian, but in fact, the speed of the expansion of the Songnan Plank Road.

In the middle of the second year of Taihe, the Songnan plank road was further widened, and the transportation capacity was increased several times, which had already determined the outcome of the Heluo battle; At that time, if Han Qian changed the system of material supply, with the material production capacity of Huaixi and Heluo at that time, he would even have the ability to fight two defensive battles on the front and rear lines at the same time.

After all, Chu Ting's naval army was too weak at that time.

In recent years, the Heluo area has been relatively fully developed, and the generals in Luoyang City no longer have the slightest doubt about winning that battle when they launched the Battle of Yiguan.

At that time, a large newly built mill flour mill in the upper reaches of Ilo used 16 pairs of large waterwheels to drive 32 large stone mills, and this mill flour mill alone could produce flour for 80,000 people in a year.

Relatively cheap and sufficient food, warm clothing, the initial public health and medical system, and various industrial products that can significantly improve production and living conditions have greatly improved the living environment of the people in Xuzhou and Huaixi, and the population growth rate has also increased significantly.

When Han Qianchan succeeded to the throne of the Great Liang State, the six prefectures of Huaixi plus Nanyang Mansion, Yunyang Mansion, Junzhou Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion had a total population of just over 2 million; In the past six years, in addition to the more than 500,000 displaced people from outside, more than 400,000 people have also been added from within.

The population of Heluo and western Henan has also maintained a fairly steady increase in recent years.

The Nanyang Prefecture area, where the original Dengzhou is located, is known as the granary of Nanyang, but when it was incorporated into the Great Liang, there were only 100,000 households, and a large number of fields were deserted.

After the field is abandoned, shrubs and various plants grow, and it only takes a few years for the roots and roots of the plants to become entangled in the fertile soil, which will greatly increase the difficulty of reclamation. Not to mention that most of the land in the Nanyang area has been abandoned for decades and has long since grown into dense forests.

However, in the past four or five years, the population of Nanyang has rapidly increased to 400,000 due to the large-scale internal migration of displaced people from eastern Henan, and the use of a large number of new and sophisticated iron farm tools, with the input of tens of thousands of large-scale animal power, can easily break through the fertile soil where the roots of the wasteland trees are entangled with the roots and stems of various plants, and reclaim nearly 4 million mu of grain fields.

Nanyang Province has also re-emerged as a veritable granary.

According to the new tax system, after the apportionment of the land into the mu, the land tax was mainly used for local development and people's livelihood affairs, but it was much higher than the traditional level and scale of industrial construction, as well as domestic and foreign trade, and by the sixth year of Taihe, the revenue provided by the central treasury had reached 6 million silver dollars, which was equivalent to 6 million old money.

In terms of the scale of state treasury revenue, there is little difference between Liang and Chu, but the grain, cloth, iron and salt and other materials in Daliang are sufficient, the price is low and stable, and when converted into corresponding materials, the central financial revenue of Daliang is actually more than double that of Chu Ting.

Even if in the next three years, the land tax of Hejin, Pingyang, and Jiangzhou will be halved and used for local construction, but the production of salt ponds in Hedong has been restored, and the salt tax and a large number of industrial products have been imported into the three prefectures, and it is expected that Taihe will be able to provide the center with an annual income of 2 million silver dollars in seven years.

The prefectures and counties on both sides of the Wei River, after this year's rectification, are expected to be able to generate at least one million silver dollars for the center next year; The mountains and rivers north of the Wei River are rich in copper, iron, coal, silver and other mineral resources, and if they can be developed as soon as possible, the scale of revenue that can be provided for the center next year will inevitably exceed expectations.

Although the scale of the Mongolian army's collection of money and grain from these areas in the past was almost equal to this amount, the Mongolian army's collection was predatory, resulting in extremely difficult and impoverished living conditions for these people.

The introduction of a new land tax and halving it will reduce the tax to one-sixth of the previous level, and the abundance of money and food in the hands of the people will inevitably stimulate the desire to improve the living and living environment, and thus stimulate the demand for many necessities and industrial goods.

The relatively relaxed living environment will encourage the people to expand production or new production with their rich working time.

As the overall demand for materials expands, the scale of social production and commerce continues to expand.

Under Han Qian, managers such as Feng Yi, Gu Qian, Zhou Daoyuan, Guo Rong, Han Daoming, Zhu Juezhong, etc., who were in charge of the Inner History Mansion and the Parliamentary Yuan, had been reborn at this time and were completely different from the tradition.

Even if the most extreme situation is taken into account, both Chu and Shu cut off trade with Daliang, Daliang will ask the local government to stimulate internal demand in the form of loans and expansion of local construction, so as to maintain the current scale of construction without shrinking.

Luoyang Comprehensive University and Liyang Comprehensive University have published many expositions on the division of labor, the accumulation and use of wealth, and the central and local fiscal revenue and expenditure.

The simple four words of "applying it to the world" have already developed to a new height in Daliang.

In the seventh year of Taihe, including the loans to the savings bureaus, the budget for the scale of the Liang Center was 10 million silver dollars, of which the military expenditure was 7 million silver dollars.

This is also the data that Li Zhihe is most concerned about, which directly determines the scale of the use of troops and the means of combat that can be used in Jinnan.
