Chapter 8 How Much Nepotism

From the empty coffin of Guan Tong to the expiration of the filial piety period in March, it took about 80 days. During this time, the gatekeeper is busy.

Building your own shogunate was a very important thing. In the past, Guan Yi and Liao Hua thought that the Guan family had been in decline for so long, and there might not be many people willing to follow. So expecting about three or five people to be satisfied. Who knows what is wrong - the emperor wants to set a benchmark for young people to work hard. The Jingzhou faction wants to use this to wash away the unpragmatic affairs of the Yuan Cong faction and the children of the Jingzhou faction, and enjoy the notoriety of Juelu. The Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction hoped that this was the beginning of the Jingzhou faction and the Yuan Cong faction ceding high-ranking officials and Houlu. Therefore, it is rare that all the forces of Shu Han are happy to see Guan Yi go out of the county. Therefore, fueled by various forces, the shogunate of Guan Yi was overcrowded all of a sudden.

Since the beginning of the Taoyuan Three Alliances, the Guanzhang family has had a friendship for 70 years. So when Zhang Shao pulled Zhang Zun in front of Guan Yi. No matter how unhappy Guan Yi is, she has to squeeze out a smiling face and say that brothers can work together to break the gold. The original plan for Liao Hua to send a senior military veteran to serve as the governor of Fuling County was naturally interrupted.

The friendship between the Guan family and the Zhao family is a little shallower than that of the Zhang family. But it's only a little bit shallow. So when Zhao Yi was brought by the two brothers Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang. Guan Yi had to squeeze out a smile again, and said that he was grateful to the two uncles for their care, with the help of the Guowei (Zhao Yi's word) brothers, and Fuling County was not enough to govern or something. Then, the original plan was to ask the general Jiang Wei for the position of a capital official held by a logistics civil official, and gave it to Zhao Yi, who was just twenty years old (imaginary age).

The people of the Jian family have always been known for being unreliable. When Jian Yong was alive, unless Zhuge Liang was present, no matter what the occasion, Jian Xianhe was sitting or not sitting, standing or not. Now this characteristic has obviously been carried forward by the descendants of the Jian family. Looking at a pair of lazy and unstingy simple Jane Wushuang children's shoes. Guan Yi tearfully gave him the most important position in feudal society.

In addition, there are Sun Qian's grandsons, Sun Gang, and Sun Dinglie. This guy doesn't look at the words on the table so powerful, but when you look at the frighteningly white skin, you know that this is a typical waste material. Okay, okay, you can be the master of the brother.

That's why nepotism is unacceptable. You see you young people in your twenties, you don't have any practical experience. Relying on the shadow of his ancestors. The four most important positions in Lao Tzu's hands, namely the commander of the garrison area, the director of the personnel bureau, the director of the development and production committee, and the director of the office, were all occupied!

Lao Tzu didn't go to farm in order to prepare for the reverse push of Cao Wei! Lao Tzu is going out to take refuge! What do you know? A large number of boys swarmed over, really going out for an outing?

In addition to the above bunch of boys, in fact, there are still people who really do things.

Chen Yuan adhered to Liu Chan's will and prepared talents for Guan Yi. Chen Yuan, who actually has a very high ability to govern, recommended Shang Shulang and Li Mi to Guan Yi. It is the creator of "standing alone and hanging from each other" in later generations. This lord was a famous minister in the Western Jin Dynasty later. Known for its uprightness. Guan Yi made him a postal supervisor (president of the procuratorate).

Liao Hua, as the guardian of the descendants of the Guan family, naturally cannot lag behind. sent his hometown general Liao Yong, who had followed him for many years. This man is sixty-five years old. Last year, in such a tragic place as Duan Valley, they all struggled to come out. Guan Yi hired him as the Taishou Mansion Soldier Cao (Minister of the Armed Forces).

The general Jiang Wei is actually very guilty about the Guan family. So this time, I couldn't help but recommend the characters in my entrainment. When Guan Yi got this famous post, he was really frightened. Because this person's name is Chen Shou!

Well, the author of "Three Kingdoms". Let's make a notebook (Secretary-General).

In this way, there is already a small team of seven people. However, in Guan Yi's puzzle, there is still one person missing.

Besides, this master is still full of thoughts of going out to avoid trouble. There is no noble sentiment to save the country from peril. But this does not prevent him from wanting to do a good job in Fuling County - Yu Gong said, do a good job in Fuling County, and after the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty in the future, he will also have the capital to become an official in the court. Privately, this place is good, and you can save some private money.

Fuling County in the Shu Han Dynasty was not the Fuling District of Chongqing today. In fact, in Chinese history, many place names have been transferred (1). Fuling County in the Shu and Han dynasties had five counties under its jurisdiction: Fuling, Danxing, Hanping, Wanning and Hanfu. The county was governed in Fuling (now Pengshui County, Chongqing City). Its geographical scope is roughly equivalent to the Qianjiang area of the former Sichuan Province before Chongqing was directly under the central government.

This place is not strictly a good place.

In ancient Chinese feudal society, one of the most basic evaluation factors to measure the quality of a place is: whether the place is flat enough to be suitable for the development of agricultural arable land.

Unfortunately, all the areas of Fuling County are in the Wuling Mountain Range. There are still flat land, but very little.

In the southern part of China, rice is the main staple crop that is cultivated. And there are many places in southern China that are not plains. In order to grow rice, the ancient Chinese ancestors creatively relied on the mountains as fields. A large number of terraces have been carved out.

It's still a pity that Fuling County doesn't even have the conditions for large-scale terraces.

This is because the mountains here are steep, and many of them are as straight as a knife and axe - such a slope of nearly 90 degrees cannot create terraces. In addition, it is a concentration of karst terrain. The soil layer is weak, and the rocks below are all limestone, which cannot hold water. Even if you work hard to get the terraces out, it won't be long before all the water leaks out of the ground. I still can't grow rice.

Well, the mountains in this place are basically hollow, and there are many karst caves, which is a famous tourist attraction in later generations.

But in this era, it is impossible for Guan Yi to develop the tourism economy.

Moreover, the area is also home to ethnic minorities. Now the Shu Han government collectively refers to the ethnic minorities in this place as Wuxi Man. But Guan Yi, as a traverser, knows that the ethnic groups in this place include Tujia, Miao, Bai and other ethnic groups. And because the arable land in this place is extremely limited, in order to compete for the small number of living resources. Relations between the Han people and the indigenous people here are very tense.

So why did Guan Yi choose here?

First, of course, it's remote enough to be far enough away from the CD. Safe.

Second, it borders on the state of Wu, but due to the restrictions of transportation, not to mention that the two weak countries now face the powerful Cao Wei and have to hug each other together. Even if there is a military conflict between the two countries, this is not the main battlefield - that is the matter of Patong County. However, restrictions on military movement do not prevent the entry and exit of individuals or small caravans in general. In case Pang will come here in the future to hunt him down - that's very likely. It's a big deal, Lao Tzu went to Wu Kingdom. Or for safety.

Thirdly, it looks barren on the surface. But in later generations, it was a famous alpine potato producing area in China. Lao Tzu has the power to reverse the dilemma of food shortage.

Finally, a crucial point. On the surface, this place seems to be a mountainous area with inaccessibility, but in fact, it is more convenient than the CD Plain in a sense: because there is a large river that runs through the whole county of Fuling County, the Wujiang River. Fuling County's registered population of less than 30,000 is actually mainly along the valley on both sides of the Wujiang River. As long as you control the Wujiang River. This place is actually very easy to govern. And once there is output, it is actually easy to make money from exporting.

And to control Wujiang, you need the help of another prominent family of Shu Han.

Mi family.

Shu Han's navy was generally weak. Not only is it not as good as Soochow, but it is not even as good as Cao Wei. Ninety-nine percent of the limited number of warships were under the command of the Governor of Yong'an, who was stationed in Padang County, where the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River was the first line of defense against the invasion of Soochow.

In addition to the navy of the Shu Han government, only the Mi family has a large-scale fleet. In the past few decades, the Mi family has collected materials in Shu with an official background, and then the fleet has gone down the river. The goods sold well to Wu Wei, and then Wu Wei's specialties were loaded on ships in Xiling and sold back to CD against the current. Earn that a lot of money. If Guan Yi wants to sell some special products in Fuling County and make money, what he needs most is the Mijia fleet.

It's a pity that the Mi family only came in person on the day of Guan Tong's funeral. Other times, it's completely gone. Now when everyone is desperately stuffing people into his shogunate, the Mi family doesn't make a sound at all.

"Well, there's no way. If the mountains don't come, I'll do it. I'm the only one who goes to the mountain. It doesn't have to be that the Mi family will send someone into the curtain now. You have to get a good relationship first. ”

1. In the history of China, there have been many changes in the names of many places. There are often interesting stories of sons becoming old sons and old sons becoming sons.

Take only three place name changes in Sichuan and Chongqing as examples:

Guanghan: Guanghan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county was governed in Guanghan County. After Liu Yan entered Shu, he moved the county administration of Guanghan County to Luocheng. Later, the name of the city became Guanghan. The original Guanghan County was changed to a new name, Shehong County.

Fuling: Fuling, because the Wujiang River was called Fushui in ancient times, and the tomb of the Ba king was mostly buried here. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Cheng Han Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty repeatedly fought over the place of Fuling County. The Eastern Jin Dynasty lost Fuling County. He had no choice but to re-establish a new Fuling County in the county under his control. As a result, the name of Tong County later became Fuling. The original Fuling County has a new name: Pengshui County.

Zigong: Originally, there was no such place name. Because the local salt production at the junction of Fushun County and Rong County. With the prosperity of the salt industry, the border between the two counties is more prosperous than the two county seats. During the Republic of China, a city was established here. What's your name? It just so happens that there are two very famous salt wells here: the artesian well and the tribute well. So this new provincial municipality was called Zigong. Fushun and Rong counties instead became counties under the jurisdiction of Zigong City. This is the famous son becomes Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu becomes a son.
