5. Western and Southern Selection
Gao Yue said that in the past, the "southern soldiers" who lived in Guangzhou, Yong, and Jiao (about the same as today's Guangdong, Guangxi, and some parts of Vietnam) in the Tang Dynasty were all transported from the five provinces of Lingbei, and the road they took was still the Ling Canal left over from the Qin Dynasty, but now the Ling Canal is not repaired, the embankment has collapsed, and many ships have been defeated after thisIn short, whatever you toss, you don't ask what kind of ownership you have, whether you have a feudal surname or a slave, as long as you get money and give part to the imperial court - this is the essence of Xingyuan meteorology and Lingnan experience.
"In other words, no matter what kind of raccoon slave it is, the one who catches the hamster is a good tanuki slave." The emperor put his hands behind his back and made a very incisive analogy to Gao Yue's words.
"What Your Majesty said is very true, black raccoon slaves, white raccoon slaves, flower civet slaves, and pink-nosed civet slaves, as long as you can catch hamsters."
At this point, the emperor nodded, and said that what Du You did in Lingnan, I am willing to open my eyes for him, but if it really provokes a brute change, what should I do?
Gao Yue said that the strategy to deal with it is not difficult, salute first and then soldier, let Du You be more flexible, pull up a faction of barbarian chieftains, and suppress the other faction immediately. If the situation is really big and the Guangzhou garrison is short of food, it can be transported by sea.
In this way, the emperor's heart really calmed down, and he agreed with Gao Yue: to use party slaves on a large scale, and take the lead in developing large workshops and monopoly systems for sought-after commodities in several core cities such as Guangzhou, Xingyuan, Shudu, and Jingshi, so as to make more money for the imperial court.
Whether it is Wei Gao or Liu Changqing, who is the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, or Liu Changqing, who is observed, they are all unstable, and their eyes are red staring at the more than 80,000 Pingxia party slaves who have surrendered to the ten thousand cities, the former wants to open a sugar cutting business in Suizhou, and the latter wants to build salt farms in Fengjie, Dachang, and Yun'an, which have just taken over Kuifu, and they all urgently need a large number of manpower.
The emperor also wanted a large number of Qiang households to work in his official estate, so he also asked Gao Yue for a share of six or seven thousand people in advance.
Of course, Gao Yue was most concerned about the formulation of the "Helong Army Accounting Book", and he said to the emperor very closely at this time: All the things mentioned before are long-term strategies for the national economy, and it may not be possible to relieve the troops immediately to recover the Helong land, but the ministers have a plan, which can set up two or three million yuan, and they can support the immediate military needs, and there is no need to levy a penny from the people of the prefectures and counties in the world.
"Oh?" The emperor was interested.
So under the candlelight of the tabernacle, the two sat face to face behind the screen and deliberated for a long time.
The Emperor was initially hesitant about this, but soon praised it.
Before the New Year after the winter solstice, more than 80,000 prisoners of the Pingxia Party, after being allocated, followed the caravans and under the supervision of the Tang cavalry, began to march to the cities where they were accepted.
Under Wang Shao's arrangement, the party items that were reincorporated into the Tangjia city system were also resettled in various places along the north and south of Baiyu Mountain, and more Qiangtun and fields were built, so as to turn the entire Baiyu Mountain into a fertile base to support the Hetao defense line.
And Tongwan City, this majestic white city, was destroyed by the victors, its palaces, buildings, and corner towers were demolished, and the timber obtained was transported by camels and mules and horses, and sent to the surrounding Changze, Wuyan, Yudole, and Yuhe Forts, which were used to build the offices of the Tang officials, or used to increase the post station, Helian Bobo once erected the stone monument, which was pulled down by the rope in the huge roar, and then erected it was to praise the emperor of the Tang family, the prime minister to quell the rebellion of the great martial arts - "Baichengzi Pingqiang Monument" side, It is the ruined Baichengzi that is left, lying silently on the side of the still rushing Wuding River, and what is sent away in the endless river is the praise of the Shuofang mountains and rivers by Helian Bobo in the past, the rebellion of Qingtianzi Tuoba Zhaohui, and the existence of the nation of "Dangxiang".
Tuoba Zhaohui and Tuoba Sheng were stuffed into the car, like two beasts hunted by the emperor, guarded by countless children of the Shenwei army, driven by the emperor's chariot, and also went to Beijing together with Gao Yue and Jia Tan.
Du Huangshang stayed and is expected to stay in April and May of the next year to deal with the aftermath of Feng, Sheng, Ling, You, Xia, Yin, Sui and other prefectures and counties, the most important of which is to abolish the original fetters in these states and completely appoint the Han assassins and county orders to govern.
Han Yu, who continued to be the head of the retest this year, went to Changze County here as the county magistrate.
At the same time, Gao Yue played: Wu Yuanheng, the commander of Huating County, Qinzhou, was known for his excellence in the number of examinations, and moved to Nanzheng County, where Xingyuan Mansion is located, and then became the county commander (but the level of Nanzheng and Huating can be very different, and the predecessor Wei Zhiyi has now entered Beijing as a bachelor of Hanlin Chengzhi).
For a time, most of the talents admitted to this year's new scientific examination were sent to the counties in the northwest and Sanchuan that were in urgent need of talents, and the DPRK and the Central Committee simply called the current Ministry of Rites and the Son of Heaven system as the "Western Election", which means that all of them were elected for the administration of the western part of the Beijing region - the southernmost part of the world, Du You vigorously recruited the offended and degraded Liuren as military generals, and was called the "New Southern Election". The Western Election and the Southern Election complement each other, which is a major innovation in the history of the Tang Dynasty official system.
In the New Year, at the Taimiao Temple in Chang'an City, a grand ceremony was held to sacrifice prisoners, Tuoba Zhaohui and his son continued to be naked in the heavy snow, kneeling under the steps, and the emperor wore a sword to stand on the steps, after the father and son kowtowed to the emperor to apologize, the emperor said that he pardoned them.
"I, rejoice!" Walking on the snow-covered street of Changchanggong, the emperor did not hide his emotions at all, and said to Gao Yue, Lu Zhen and Jia Tan who were beside him.
Therefore, at the small banquet held in the Lin De Hall next, the emperor officially blew the wind to several ministers: "Now that Pingqiang is complete, my Tang army is prosperous, and Xifan has been even weaker since the previous invasion of Shazhou failed-I think about the vision left by Han Jin Gong, I am not tragic and generous, and I am inexplicably moved, and after the autumn of this year, I want to drive 100,000 heroes to recover Helong, whip the Qinghai River, and connect the northwest court of Anxi, what is it?"
"Your Majesty, although Pingqiang has succeeded, but the treasury has also been exhausted, please Your Majesty temporarily for a period of three years, accumulate wealth and goods, train soldiers and horses, so that there will be no worries." Lu Yi is cautious about this.
The emperor laughed, raised his hand to Lu Zhen, and said Lu Jiu, don't talk about one year or three years for the time being, and soon Jia Tan will give you a budget plan for the "Helong Army Accounting Book", you read it carefully, and see if I can spend this money this year, if so, then it will be decided.
