Chapter XXIII Requests

Song Shou, the state government hall was full, the marshal of the march of Zhou Guoling Lingdao, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen, was receiving Anzhou, Huangzhou, Yuezhou's assassin history and Taishou, of course, such Anzhou is not like Bi'anzhou, this Huangzhou is not Huangzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu Wenwen is the governor of Huangzhou in Zhou State, and concurrently serves as the history of Huangzhou Thorn, at this time, when he saw the Lingbiao (Lingnan) Huangzhou Thorn History present, he made a very funny joke, which made the atmosphere in the venue relaxed.

Anzhou Thorn History and Song Shou Tai Shou Ning Li, born in Anzhou Ning, and the position of Anzhou Thorn History, of course, was inherited by him, in addition to Song Shou County under Anzhou, there are also Song Guang County, Anjing County, Taishou is also here.

To the east of Anzhou is Yuezhou, the state is located in Hepu, Hepu County, Hepu Taishou Ning Xuan is the younger brother of Ning Mengli, there is a real nameless history of Yuezhou Thorn, this time with a few Taishou in the state to Song Shou, to meet the new "governor" of Lingbiao.

In addition to Hepu County, Yuezhou also has Fengshan County, Bailiang County, Longsu County, Dingchuan County, and Bao County.

Then there is the very different Huangzhou Thorn History, the Huangzhou of Lingbiao is located in the southwest coastal area of Anzhou, and there is only one Ninghai County under its jurisdiction, so the Huangzhou Thorn History is also the Taishou of Ninghai and goes to the meeting alone.

Although these assassins and taishou are serious official positions, they are actually hereditary chieftains and cave lords in the local or nearby areas, that is, the so-called "local officials" in later generations, and as for the so-called "liuguan" appointed by the Jiankang court, there is no one.

Lingbiao is also known as the land of smoke miasma, but compared with the long-developed east and west Hengzhou and Guangzhou and other places, Anzhou, Huangzhou, Yuezhou is more like the land of smoke miasma, although the Hepu County of Yuezhou has been included in the Central Plains territory since the Qin and Han dynasties, but at this time Hepu County is full of slang tribes, and foreign officials have no foundation, so they can't be suppressed at all.

Therefore, after Anzhou assassin Shi Ning violently and sincerely returned to the new imperial court, the officials of Yuezhou and Huangzhou also followed the trend when they saw this, and they dared to go to Song Shou with confidence to meet the "governor" of the new imperial court.

But it takes time to hurry, so after Yu Wenwen arrived in Songshou, there was no way to hold a meeting immediately, and he was not idle, and sent someone to teach the local officials and people in Songshou County, Anzhou how to cultivate the terraces.

He also went around Songshou County to inspect the potential of large-scale sugarcane cultivation, and for several days he had a discussion with Ning Mengli, asking about the general situation of An, Yue, and Huang Prefectures, so now Yu Wenwen can talk to everyone here about some substantive issues.

First of all, he once again stressed that the new court will continue the "convention" of the past, and as long as the officials of the states and counties are willing to submit to the new court, then the officials will be as they should be, and there will be no major changes in the near future.

The reason why it is said that it will not be in the near future is because the imperial court has its own opinions, and it is impossible for Yuwenwen to stay in Lingbiao all the time, so it cannot be guaranteed that in the next few years or even more than ten years, the imperial court's personnel appointments to the states and counties of Lingbiao will remain unchanged, and it is still a hereditary inheritance from father to son and son to grandson.

This is true, everyone here actually understands it very well, but Yuwenwen can ensure that when the power is handed over, he will not drastically change the rules in the Lingbiao area, and he is willing to discuss with the officials of various states and counties, which makes them very relieved.

Lingbiao Guangzhou Panyu is far away from Jiankang, there is a distance of nearly two thousand miles from land to water, and the distance from Anzhou Song Shou to Panyu, the land distance is close to 1,200 or 300 miles, if you want to go to Yecheng, the capital of Zhou Guoguo, the distance is more than 5,000 miles.

In the words of the afterlife, distance produces beauty, and in reality, distance only increases the sense of alienation.

The officials of An, Yue, and Huangzhou, as well as the slang marshals and cave masters, originally had a sense of unfamiliarity with the Jiankang court, not to mention the Yecheng court, which had never heard of it.

Now the commander of the Zhou army, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen personally came to Anzhou Song Shou to assure them that everything is as before, and this kind of scene is not very convincing, but since Gao Liang Feng Xian's wife, Chen Fozhi of Luzhou Chen, and Ning Mengli of Anzhou Ning all believe in Yuwenwen's guarantee, then everyone has no doubts.

In the face of Yu Wenwen's questions, there are also questions that must be answered instead of prevarication, and from everyone's sporadic words, Yu Wenwen also roughly summarized the overall situation in An, Vietnam, and Huangzhou.

Four words to describe it is "miserable".

This does not refer to the hardship of life or the lack of financial resources, on the contrary, the coastal An, Vietnam, and Huangzhou rely on the sea to eat the sea, especially the pearl and sea salt trade, but the profit is the largest.

Hepu County in Yuezhou produces pearls, Hepu pearls have been famous in the Central Plains since the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Ning family accounts for a large share of the Hepu pearl trade, and there is no shortage of gold and silver; There are salt farms by the sea, and the sea salt produced is sold to inland areas, which is also a huge profiteering.

The so-called "unspeakably miserable" refers to the fact that these three states are on the edge, especially the two states of An and Huang, which are facing the continuous invasion of the Western Plains, which makes the government and the people miserable, because if they are not careful, their families will be ruined.

What is Nishihara? Let's start with what "Nishihara" is.

To the west of Anju is the continuous mountains, in which there are countless caves, and there are many small plains between the mountains, this western area is very broad, and is collectively called "Xiyuan" by the states of the Lingbiao, and there is no state and county set up by the Central Plains court in the Xiyuan area.

This does not mean that the mountains, hills, caves, and plains of the Western Plains are uninhabited, on the contrary, there are countless uncivilized slang tribes scattered among them, collectively known as the "Western Plains Barbarians".

The Xiyuan barbarians only have chiefs and chieftains without monarchs, and they are not as civilized as the slang clans in Jianzhou, Luzhou, Gaozhou, Shizhou, Luozhou and other places near Guangzhou, and it is basically difficult to communicate.

Anzhou is better, Huangzhou is miserable, so there is only one Ninghai County, in addition to Anping City, which is a two-in-one state and county governance, there are only two cities of Haiping and Yushan, and villages within a certain distance of the suburbs of the city, and farther away, the power of the government is beyond the reach of the whip.

And Haiping and Yushan are like two-leaf flat boats, tossed in the never-ending disturbing tide of the Western Plains, and there is a possibility of sinking at any time.

And Anzhou is not much better, under the jurisdiction of Song Shou, Song Guang, Anjing three counties, but Song Shou, Song Guang, Anjing three cities, with a few villages on the outskirts of the city, the number of registered households is only thousands, in the face of the pressure of Xiyuan Barbarian from time to time, it has been miserable.

Yuezhou, located in the east of Anzhou, also faced pressure from the uncivilized slang tribes in the territory, and the government could not control other places except for the city where the county was located and the surrounding areas.

From time to time, the people who have cleared the land have been attacked, the villages have been burned, the cattle and farm tools have been robbed, tossed and turned, and there are still so many farmlands, and the food cannot be fed, so they have been living hard.

Yu Wenwen came to Anzhou and encouraged everyone to open up the wasteland to plant sugarcane, reclaim terraced fields and grow rice, that is, to expand the territory of the government in An, Huang and Yuezhou, in fact, the three places have been trying to expand their territory outward for hundreds of years, so it is inevitable that there will be friction and conflict with the Western Plains.

One punch is hard to defeat four hands, not to mention that there are so many tribes in the Western Plains, and they can't completely solve the problem by force alone, so they must have both soft and hard means.

Therefore, the officials of An, Huang, and Yuezhou counties represented by Ning Mengli (in fact, the local chieftains, slang marshals, and cave lords are hereditary) hope to get strong support from the new imperial court, and to put it bluntly, they hope that the new imperial court can continue to implement the system of "local people governing the local area" and not change it.

Taking Anzhou Ning's as an example, Ning's family has settled in Lingbiao for hundreds of years, and when it came to Liang Chen's time, Ning Kui, the father of Ning Mengli, served as the assassin of Anzhou.

It's very simple, Anzhou is here, Ning's foundation is there, and Ning Mengli, who succeeded his father, has led troops to fight against those unknown Xiyuan barbarians all the year round, but he will also interact with the tribes who are willing to coexist and do business, that is, the so-called soft and hard.

But if the imperial court sends officials to do the history of Anzhou, they may not think about Anzhou early, in order to transfer out of this poor country as soon as possible, it is conceivable that they will unscrupulously brush up their political achievements, either indiscriminately use force against all Xiyuan, or they will take advantage of it, and finally force the other party to stand on the opposite side of the government.

These officials from other places made a big deal and patted their butts and left, and the mess left behind had to be cleaned up by the locals led by the Ning family, but it is easy to cut down trees and plant trees, and Anzhou has a thin foundation and can't withstand such a toss, let alone Huangzhou.

After complaining, Ning vigorously stood up and saluted: "The king, the Ning clan and other local leaders are willing to defend the border and educate the people for the imperial court, and there is no desire to be self-reliant, so Ning has the courage to ask the king to make a statement to the imperial court, so that the hereditary system of officials in Anzhou and other places can remain the same for a long time." ”
