In Chang'an City, in the Da Sima Mansion, Pei Gai was pressing the table with his hands in the study, carefully studying a document that had just been sent from Luoyang.

This Da Sima Mansion originally belonged to Suoqi, its scale is grand, the structure is complex, second only to the palace in the small city, and the materials are exquisite, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and even surpassed. Pei Cai couldn't figure it out, just when the imperial court was moving, when there was a shortage of people and things, how did Suo Juxiu build such a big mansion? Even if it is said that it was temporarily renovated on the basis of an existing building or some buildings, at a glance, many of the parts are still half-new, and they are by no means old.

Suo Qi has this spiritual head, isn't it good to use it in national affairs? Isn't it good to have these manpower and material resources to consolidate the defense of Chang'an City?

Since he entered the court, he originally lived elsewhere, and later the court returned to Luoyang, and the city of Chang'an instantly became empty.

But he really has never lived in such a big house - not counting the experience of the first 20 years of this body - in his previous life, he was in a second-tier city, the land price and housing prices were not very high, and the parents left a lot of inheritance, and the house was only more than 60 square meters. And this new Da Sima Mansion, roughly estimated, covers an area of at least more than 6,000 square meters - a hundred times! There are nearly 200 inner and outer bedrooms, and there is also a small garden......

Pei should be in Xuzhou, but there are only seven or eight servants, and even if the Xun family is added to marry, there are no more than thirty people. Since entering Chang'an, there are more than 20 secretaries and guards, and a family of less than 100 people.

simply, the front yard was set up as an office space, and more than 20 rooms were divided into collective dormitories for the temporarily homeless shogunate officials; Pei Gai's family only lives in the backyard, with more than 80 rooms inside and outside.

In fact, in Pei Cai's mind, I don't have high requirements, only a study, a bedroom, a living room is enough, after having Baoda, add a baby room, in addition to servants, maidservants, cooks, gardeners, etc., to fill forty rooms, this is more than half left......

However, Xun Guanniang is also from a wealthy family, and when she first entered the Da Sima Mansion, she still felt spacious, and after Pei should draw out the front yard, she felt a little crowded and cramped. She once persuaded Pei Gai that now the population in Chang'an City is not large, and many houses are still empty-more from the former soldiers' burn-out, only the ruins and empty fields have never been repaired-it is better to merge several courtyards in the west -

"The husband is the great Sima, staying in the customs to the main platform, since he should live in the Guangsha, only to see the prestige. And although it is barely used at the moment, it is also necessary to take into account the future - if the husband accepts the concubine room, if the big brother and sister are protected, I am afraid that the living room will not be enough. ”

Pei Gai smiled at this and replied, "I have no intention of taking concubines, as for the younger brother and sister of Baoda...... And when you have it, it's not too late to plan. "Under the pretext that Guanzhong was first restored, the country was still poor and weak, there were not enough people and materials, and as an important minister, it was not suitable for him to live in a wide room, so as to show that his subordinates had extravagance, and he gave a perfunctory past.

But although he didn't plan to build the house again, he also had the idea of rebuilding it at one point. The key is that people are accustomed to sitting on the ground in these days, even if they are cushioned with couches and tables, the overall living height is still relatively low, so except for some rooms for specific purposes - such as palaces, conference halls, etc. - the general net height of the room is just over two meters. However, Pei should be accustomed to sitting with his legs down, first increasing the height of the couch, and then simply "inventing" the chair, and then living in this kind of room is relatively cramped, and it is inevitable that he will be a little depressed.

Therefore, he planned to lift the roof of several rooms such as the study, bedroom, and living room, increase the walls, and re-tile. Pei was shocked and urgently summoned his subordinates to come over for questioning, only to learn that they did not take the opportunity to plot corruption - just like the Qing Dynasty eunuchs fooled the emperor and said that an egg would be sold for two taels of silver.

The main reasons are, first, regulatory issues, and second, related to the level of construction technology. First of all, the regulations, the Da Sima Mansion cannot be covered with thatch, but must be tiled, and secondly, the materials of the beams and timbers used also have certain rules, and it is impossible to cut a few timbers from the field to the top. Secondly, the buildings of the rich family in these years were mainly civil engineering structures, and the more advanced they were, the more wood was used, and the less earth and bricks were used. The old house of Suoqi is made of good wood, and it is impossible to add more than one section to it, that is to say, if you want to increase the height, you can basically only tear it down and start over......

Rammed earth requires a lot of manpower and takes a long time to dry; Burning bricks and tiles is not a cheap thing in terms of the technical level of these years. The key is now inside and outside Chang'an City, the soil is easy to find, what is lacking is manpower, if it is forcibly requisitioned, I am afraid that it will miss the agricultural time, affect the people's hearts, if it is recruited, the cost will be great.

Pei Gai had no choice but to sleep for the time being, and still lived in a low house.

Therefore, in order not to feel bored, when he works in the study, unless it is windy, rainy, or the weather is too cold, he is used to opening the doors and windows. I sat on the newly made backrest chair - in order to facilitate movement, bamboo was used instead of wood, but fortunately, even in the Guanzhong area in this year, bamboo resources were not scarce - facing the table.

By the way, there is no word "table" in these years, but only "Zhuo", which means high. Pei Gai's special case is indeed much higher than the cases used in ordinary kneeling and sitting.

This table is not only high, but also large, making it easy to stack official documents. At this moment, there is a document on the table, coming from Luoyang, which is a reply to Pei Gai's previous request for reinstatement to the county.

Later the northern part of Shaanxi Province, the eastern part of Gansu Province, and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region were incorporated into the Chinese territory only during the Qin Dynasty, and were previously inhabited by Zhurong. After the countyization of the county, three counties of Shangjun, Beidi and Jiuyuan were set up in this place - Jiuyuan County has penetrated into the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in later generations and is located in the Hetao area.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, this land was occupied by the Xiongnu, and then Emperor Wu repeatedly attacked the Xiongnu until the Hetao, and set up the Shuofang Thorn History Department in this place. When it was caught in the Eastern Han Dynasty, its land was divided into two prefectures, namely Shangjun in the east and Shuofang and Wuyuan counties in the north, which were merged into the state, and Beidi County in the west belonged to Liangzhou.

In the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xirong took advantage of the time, whether it was Cao Wei or Sima Jin later, the country's territory in the northwest direction shrank sharply to the south, not to mention Shuofang and Wuyuan, the east was even forced to abandon Shangjun and retreat to Feng Yi, and the Beidi County in the west shrank by more than half.

Today, this area in the northwest of the river is still occupied by the Qiang, and the most powerful of them is the Void Division. In the era when the Jin Dynasty was still strong, the Void Division also accepted the restraint and served the Zhengshuo of the Jin Dynasty, but after the rise of Hu Han, its chieftain Qu began to sway from side to side, betting on both ends - there was a matter of joining forces with Liu Yao to commit a crime in the south.

It's just that the Void Elimination Quan Qu quickly turned his face with Liu Yao, and then Liu Yao gave up Gao Nu and went east to Pingyang to govern, making the Void Elimination Department more powerful. For Pei Gai's Guanzhong regime, Liu Cang was defeated and retreated, Hu Han was forced to take a defensive position, and there were sporadic forces in the northwest, and there was also the Zhang clan in Liangzhou to contain him, and the only thing he needed to worry about was Cheng Han in the south and the void in the north.

The confrontation between Yong and Liang across the Qi Mountains, whether it is the north of the Ba Yi or the southern expedition of the Jin army, they are all limited by the narrow roads of the dangerous mountains, and if Pei should only seek defense, it is not very difficult. However, the Qiang and Qiang in the north are different, and if they go their separate ways, it will be difficult to block them everywhere - the nomads are this nuisance, even if their strength is not enough for China's great trouble, and the harassment and looting of small groups of people entering the country in three days and two ends are enough for the Chinese regime to have a headache.

Moreover, the Void Division is not a small unit, and it is said that the unification of all departments will lead to no less than 50,000 troops......

Therefore, Pei Gai hoped to be able to re-detain the Void Division, so that they could settle down for a while, so that they could accumulate in Guanzhong. He had sent You Yao to run once before, asking why the party attached Hu Kou to Quanqu and harassed Guanzhong - of course, this is because Quanqu has fallen out with Liu Yao, and Pei Gai has defeated Liu Yao again, so You Ziyuan dared to run away, pretending to ask for the crime, but in fact, he gave Quanqu a step down.

It's not stupid to eliminate the power canal, and immediately expressed his position, saying that I am far away Rong Di, I don't know the feelings of China, and I think that the Jin is dead, and the revival of the Han Dynasty is rebellious, so it is logical to rebel from the Han Dynasty - I later realized that I was deceived by Liu Yao's bastard! Knowing that the Jin Dynasty is still there, and there is a sense of revival, I have become a king and submitted to the orthodox dynasty of China - but should I be an official so that it is convenient to declare the people and unite the people?

Bestowing the position of Rong chieftain, and there is no need to pay a salary, and there is no need to divide the soil, it is just a recognition of your right to rule over the old territory, such a benefit and no expense, how can Pei should disagree? It's just that he covets the homeland of the Han Dynasty, and still fantasizes that one day, Hu Xiang will be quiet, the country will be strong, and I will get the lost land back!

What to collect the Western Regions and cross the Green Mountains, attack Persia and go to Rome, this is not a video game of "Genghis Khan", it is meaningless fantasy; But for the rest of my life, as long as I have the opportunity, the homeland of the Qin and Han dynasties must be restored.

Therefore, the Luoyang Imperial Court proposed to relocate Shangjun, whose scope included the northern area of Shangjun and Beidi County, which happened to be the nomadic place of the Void Division. Although I can't settle the liuguan for the time being, when I have enough strength in the future, I will occupy this place in the north by chasing Di and Qiang, even if I have the name of righteousness first.

The key is that most of the bureaucrats in these years no longer have the ambition to expand the territory of the Qin and Han dynasties, so if you order them to recover the country, it is better to have less resistance than to order them to open up the frontier.

Luoyang has Liang Fen and Xun Song in charge, and most of Pei Gai's performance was immediately approved, and it is rare that this time even the ancestral covenant was not obstructed - it may be that Zu Ti has returned to Luoyang - and quickly gave a satisfactory answer. That is, he placed Shangjun, and appointed the void to remove the right canal as the Taishou of Shangjun, and also added him the titles of General Pingbei, Governor of Shangjun Rongbu, and Marquis of Luyan.

——Of course, there is no such thing as a county in Hanshang, but we can mark it on the map first.

Luoyang did not issue a document, but ordered Chang'an to issue an edict to appease the power canal.

Pei should read this document carefully to make sure that there is no hidden meaning in it - he is afraid that Zu Yue will set himself up, and at the same time, he also wonders, why didn't Zu Na go north from Jiankang? The traffic level in these years is really backward - this is the sign of his own name, the matter of the chief Shi Pei Wei, issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then transferred to Sima Taokan, and the Ministry of Administration will select people to issue the edict.

Although it is necessary to go around in such a big circle, in order to avoid being too arbitrary and arbitrary, resulting in mistakes in political affairs, the restrictions that should be set must be stipulated, and the procedures that should be followed must be followed.

Just moved this document aside, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and at a glance, it turned out to be Pei Xiong holding a tray with tea on it, tiptoeing in.

Originally, Pei Ying wanted to use Pei Xiong as a guard, but Pei Xiong was still obsessed with the righteousness of master and slave, and insisted on helping and serving Pei Gui's daily life - just like when he was in Hu Ying. Xun Guanniang once asked Pei Gai, who is this Pei Xiong - "Rough hands and feet, there is really no talent for slaves." It's like saying that this time he came in with tea and deliberately lightened his steps, but his body and habits were there, and he still stomped on the ground, even though Pei Caidang noticed it.

Pei Xiong insisted on being a slave, and Pei should not be able to refuse him thousands of miles away, and he didn't know why, with Pei Xiong by his side, he would feel much more at ease.

Pei Xiong came to the table, put down the tray, and then picked up the teacup with both hands and handed it to Pei Gai: "Lord, please use tea." ”

In these years, slaves and maids used to call their masters everyone (regardless of gender), or "Lang", "Langjun" (male) and "Niang", "Niangzi" (female), although Pei Gai felt awkward, but also had to follow the etiquette. Originally, in Hu Yingzhong, he didn't think too much, so he ordered Pei Xiong and others to call himself "lord", after crossing the river, this title gradually spread among the cronies, and even extended to the subordinates, so it is not appropriate to give it to slaves and maids anymore - otherwise I am afraid that some people will think crankily: Are you calling me as a slave? But Pei Xiong still followed the old habit and still called Pei should be called "lord" - it happened to be that Pei should not treat him as a slave.

What Pei Xiong gave Pei Gai was a lacquer cup. There are two kinds of cups, one is lighter, porcelain or jade is round, and lacquer is oval, with ears next to it, mainly used to hold wine; The hot wine is poured into a shallow glass, and it can touch the lips in a moment, so as not to burn the mouth, and is more similar to the cup of later generations - but there is no word "cup" yet. The other is deeper, used to hold boiling water, and the lacquer cups in them often have handles and lids, somewhat similar to the enamel jars that Pei Gai could still see when he was a child, and used them for drinking tea.

The name of the tea plant, after boiling, is called "tea", which has just been transformed from medicine into a drink, but Pei Gai still likes to call it tea, and is very disgusted with Wang Dao and others, the tea and other things, even salt, boiled into a thin paste. He specially ordered Xu Yu and other merchants to buy new tea from Jiangnan and Shudi, and after it was fried in a kettle, it was sold over a long distance and brewed directly with boiling water. In his previous life, he was not a particular person, he didn't know what tea art and tea ceremony were, and he didn't know how to make kung fu tea sets......

Of course, he actually prefers coffee (instant), but unfortunately there is nowhere to touch it.

At that moment, Pei should take the teacup, lift the lid, take a slight blow, and then start sipping. Taking advantage of this short rest, he unfolded the map of Guanzhong, stared intently, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift farther and farther......
