Chapter 210: Jiuyuan County
After Cao Xing returned to Bianyun County, the first thing was to count the property, Cao Xing did not get the template for coinage from Situ Wang Yun, but he asked for a lot of money from him, all of which were golden gold, and there were some losses on the way, but most of them were retained, Cao Xing's subordinates worked overtime, and roughly estimated that all the money obtained by Cao Xing's trip to Luoyang this time was converted into five baht, almost 20 million.
With this property, it can be said that it solved one of Cao Xing's most troublesome problems, and he immediately invested this large amount of money in the construction of several county seats, as well as reforms.
Cao Xing summoned Fengyun, Jia Kui, Liu Wanduanke and others and started a meeting, and finally all the funds were released in place, and everyone began to complete Cao Xing's arrangements in full swing.
is also just like what Sima Qian said, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, everyone is running for interests, abolishing some feudal and customary cumbersome regulations, and the people have all been favored, so everyone is very willing to come to Cao Xing, and the population under Cao Xing began to develop rapidly, not only absorbing population from Jiuyuan County.
Even in the surrounding counties, and even on the Qiang side, there were many people who were absorbed by Cao Xing, and Cao Xuan welcomed the arrival of these people. Even if it is a Qiang person, he will not treat it any differently, everyone is a person living in the same world, and only by communicating with each other and assisting each other can we promote the great unity of the nation.
The population under Cao Xing began to develop rapidly, and Cao Xing's side is getting better and bigger, and the people who are unhappy with Cao Xing are naturally unwilling to see this, and the most unhappy thing should be Zhenggu, after all, the current title is the same as Cao Xing, Jiuyuan County Shou.
However, compared with Cao Xing, there are some things that are not enough to see, first of all, his Jiuyuan county guard is in this position. It was appointed by the assassin history, and it is still an acting assassin history, which is not a assassination history in the real sense.
Now it is only because the binding force of the Han Dynasty on the local government is getting weaker and weaker, so they can make their own decisions, so no matter from the perspective of the first year of the year and the law, he, the county guard of Jiuyuan, is untenable.
Cao Xing's Jiuyuan County Guard came with a holy decree, so Cao Xing is orthodox, but after Cao Xing showed his holy decree, he didn't chase and beat Su Gu with his orthodox name, which made Zheng Gu breathe, thinking that Cao Xing was ignorant of the world and didn't know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity.
But today, he understands a problem, not that Cao Xuan doesn't want to clean him up, but that Cao Xing doesn't have time to clean him up, the four county towns in Cao Xing's hands are under large-scale construction, and now the scale is getting bigger and bigger, the population is getting bigger and bigger, the people are getting richer and richer, and the food is increasing year by year.
After a while, he began to be a little unable to sit still, because if he continued to play according to Cao Xing's play, he would be played to death by Cao Xing sooner or later, so he was in a hurry, and all the generals under him also held a military meeting, and he also received a lot of foreign aid from this military meeting, which came from his family and the families closely related to his family.
Cao Xing did this, but the interests of the family fluctuated, so these people of the family also hated Cao Xing, everyone had money to pay, and some people came out to form a strong army, and he personally took command to crusade against Cao Xing in the name of crusading against the traitor.
As a result, Zheng Gu and the others had just made preparations, and before they could leave, another holy decree was issued from Cao Xing's hand, and when they heard the content of this holy decree, Zheng Gu and the others were completely dumbfounded.
Of course, the decree was issued in the name of the emperor, but it is unknown who the emperor is now young and controlled, but this decree is real and valid.
In the tone of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, he personally drank Ling Gu and others, and explained to them that Cao Xing was the county guard of Jiuyuan arranged by him, and if Zheng Gu and others resisted stubbornly, they would be regarded as outlaws in the world, and everyone would be punished.
Just heard the content of this holy decree, Zheng Gu and the others were completely dumbfounded, they didn't expect Cao Xing to go to Luoyang, although he didn't get what he wanted most, but Cao Xing is a person who is good at maximizing benefits.
What Situ Wang Yun let him do is not a trivial matter, there is a risk of losing his head, and even Cao Xuan was scolded by this Situ Wang Yun again, so Cao Xuan also thought about it before this, since both sides are not good stubble, then he might as well ask for a higher price, not only obtained money from Situ Wang Yun, but also took a holy decree from him.
The content of this holy decree has written everything clearly and clearly, and it also marks that Cao Xing, the Jiuyuan County Shou, is the most legitimate and formal. In this way, Cao Xing can be regarded as really gaining a firm foothold, and the content of Cao Xing's canonization decree announced the support of the people of the entire Jiuyuan County, and the people have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Although they are just small people at the grassroots level, but then again, they are also deeply influenced by the subtle education of Confucian etiquette, and now Cao Xing has once again taken out a holy decree and announced its orthodoxy, then Cao Xing must be the real Jiuyuan County Guard, so many people have begun to run counter to Zhenggu.
Even many officials under Zhenggu wavered and threw themselves into Cao Xing, after all, Cao Xing occupies the righteousness, occupies the fame, and occupies the reason. It's a bit of a nondescript.
Seeing that all of his subordinates, whether it was population, capital or talents, went to Cao Xing's side, and Zhenggu was completely bombed, at this moment, he didn't care about what division was famous, and he directly led the army to Cao Xuan in a hurry.
This time, Cao Xing chose to fight head-on, and there were 50,000 horses under the command of Zheng Gu, and Cao Xing's side was almost 20,000 people, and his number was more than double that of the other party.
As a result, what Su Gu didn't expect was that the group of soldiers under Cao Xing was completely different from the group of soldiers under him.
The army led by Zheng Gu and the army of the Han Dynasty in peacetime are basically the same, and the morale is a little lower at most, after all, this is only a temporary war, and some soldiers are temporarily pulled to the battlefield from home, which seems to be a little uneven, and the combat effectiveness seems to be a little fragile, but it will not be weak, after all, their side has the advantage of numbers.
However, when Zheng Gu stepped on the battlefield in person, looking at the one-sided situation on the battlefield, the whole person was completely stunned, the soldiers on Cao Xing's side. One by one, like mad dogs, in the face of the stubborn soldiers, it was the beginning of a crazy slaughter, and their eyes stared directly at the enemy's head, showing a tendency to die, as if they wanted to take off the opponent's head.
Most of Cao Xing's soldiers fought in a state of reluctance to die, so when the soldiers of the solid army came into contact with their short soldiers, the momentum was weakened, and the soldiers of the solid could not figure out why these soldiers were so willing to die with Cao Xing.
In the past, when they were on the battlefield, one of their biggest thoughts was that they must retreat from this battle, after all, only by surviving can there be hope, but they don't know how eager Cao Xing's soldiers are for battle at this moment, as long as a head, a head, they can say goodbye to their civilian life, so they have to work hard, for which they are more willing to do their best.
He was completely defeated after two battles with Cao Xing, and finally withdrew from Jiuyuan County with his men and horses. After that, it can basically be said that Cao Xuan occupied the entire Jiuyuan County, but Cao Xuan did not send officials to the other five county towns as soon as he came.
He first sent a large number of documents and approvals, informing the people in the other five counties that if they were willing to abide by a series of new policies promulgated by Cao Xing, Cao Xuan would naturally send someone to manage them, and if they were unwilling, Cao Xuan would not bother to accept them.
Cao Xing's new policies are all good things for the benefit of the country and the people, and the people can't ask for it, and now Cao Xing has played such a hand, which makes these people a little anxious, and they are looking forward to Cao Xing's early stay in their county.
However, for Cao Xing's words, the most unhappy should be those nobles, Cao Xing's series of policies have greatly touched their interests, fundamentally speaking, they will never compromise with Cao Xing.
After a stalemate of a month or two, in the end, these families finally seemed to be unable to hold on.
Usually, they always feel superior, those ordinary people, see them can only take a detour, after all, they are today's magnates, however, these days, there are hundreds of people gathered at their doorstep, constantly making trouble, these family pigs are finally afraid, the people who used to look down on themselves have now gathered at their own door, and they have asked themselves to express their position.
After all, everyone is not stupid, knowing that Cao Xing is reluctant to send officials to take over their county seat, it is related to these families, if Cao Xuan hurriedly sends someone to take over these county seats, the result is that the family members inside, with their strong strength, will make trouble again, and then there will be a headache.
In the end, these families were forced by the pressure of all parties, either to go to Cao Xuan in person to negotiate peace, or directly moved out of Jiuyuan County, and it took three full months for Cao Xuan to finally send officials to control all the nine counties of Jiuyuan County.
And those families who are dissatisfied with Cao Xing in Jiuyuan County have basically been cleaned up by Cao Xing, and Cao Xing can also implement his new policy smoothly, so during this time, there has been a phenomenon of political communication and harmony.
The people work diligently every day, and the government is busy every day, and everything seems stable and chaotic.
Therefore, a big problem has been solved, but there must be many new problems that follow, and what made Cao Xing a little headache in the early stage was that the nine county seats, each county wanted to settle down, and they had to send county commanders and county magistrates, and these three were the most basic.
However, the problem of arranging the manpower of these people made Cao Xing quite annoyed, most of the people who used to hold important positions in the county government were disciples of some families, but these people from these families have been relocated collectively, so these officials have also followed their families to fly away.
Feng Yun handed over the list of the newly selected county commanders and county officials to Cao Xing, who summoned a few people and felt quite a headache, not because these people were not capable enough, but because these people couldn't even do the most basic literacy and hyphenation.
Think about it, it is now in a feudal period, most of the resources are in the hands of the family, in this era, it is already a blessing to be able to read, like Fengyun was born in a poor family, and he was able to get the opportunity to read and write, which is simply a great gift.
Therefore, these people selected from the common people are basically unable to read and write, if they can't even do this most basic. What kind of official is that?
Therefore, Cao Xing immediately decided to select more than a dozen talents who can read and write from Bianyun County, and let them go to various places to teach scriptures and teaching, those who hold important positions such as county commanders and county lieutenants, Cao Xing will give them half a year at most, and once the half year is over, they can't independently approve the official documents, so Cao Xing will have to be replaced.
So under the auspices of Cao Xing, the first batch of teachers walked out from Bianyun County.
Cao Xuan gave this group of teachers enough power, they could continue to recruit students according to the scale of Taixue in the previous Han Dynasty, so as to teach them, of course, Cao Xuan also made it clear to them, as for the things to teach, it does not have to be Confucian classics.
Whether it is Legalism, Confucianism, Confucianism, Taoism, these books, more or less can talk about a little, after all, only open-mindedness can bloom, Cao Xing thinks, such an open education should make more talents.
After arranging this series of things, Cao Xuan threw all the big and small affairs to the people below, and then he returned to his mansion and walked to a secret room where he lived before, during this period, only Xiao Man had been in and out of this room to deliver food to Cao Xing, as for the rest of the time, no one saw Cao Xing, and everyone didn't know what Cao Xuan was doing, but when Xiao Man came out of Cao Xing's room every day, he would hold a piece of paper, and the paper was full of dense things, And after Xiao Man bought these things back, he sent them all to Cao Xing's house.
Just when everyone was a little puzzled, half a month later, Cao Xuan finally walked out of his room, and the first thing he did was to point the somewhat sallow paper in his hand at the sun.
Many people were a little curious to ask Cao Xing, what he wanted to do with a piece of paper, but Cao Xing said to them with a smile, from today on, everyone no longer has to use heavy desks when writing, but can replace it with this kind of paper.
