In early July, the envoy who returned to Shannan from Yecheng and the angels sent by the imperial court to Shannan to announce the decree finally arrived at the Anzhou Prefecture after a long journey, and the angels brought a lot of good news, which made the officials of Shannan Prefecture excited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In last year's war, meritorious soldiers needed to be rewarded by the imperial court, those who should be promoted, those who should be knighted, those who made meritorious contributions were promoted, and the vacated positions were filled by others.

Shannan Prefecture County is actually Shannan Province Daxing Taiyu Wenliang is in charge, and the merits made last year, the corresponding rewards naturally cannot really be delayed until this year, but after all, with the will of the imperial court, some rewards are justified.

Especially for the knighthood, it has to be done by the holy decree of the Son of Heaven who has used the seal, and the promotion of officials above the same level must also have the jade seal to be the real money, as well as the change of the position of the assassin in each state, Daxingtai made the main first arrangement, but afterwards the list had to be drawn up and reported, and the imperial court was officially confirmed.

In addition to the good news such as official positions and knighthoods, the return mission also brought a large number of horses allocated by the imperial court, both military horses and horses, although it was only the first batch, and the follow-up horses had to be transferred in batches, but it also made the Shannan soldiers excited.

There is no good horse farm in Shannan, not a horse production area, and it was previously isolated from the imperial court roads, and the horses used by both the military and civilians could only reproduce on their own, not to mention the quantity, and the quality was poor.

Years of war, the war horses have been lost, and they have to win the battle, and they can be replenished from the capture, but it is not a matter in the long run, and now the imperial court has allocated a large number of horses, which can be said to have solved the urgent need.

At the same time, there is a large amount of salt, Shannan also does not produce salt, must be transported from other places, previously relied on salt merchants smuggling, in order to meet the needs of Shannan Prefecture, and the imperial court transferred salt, horses, so that the military and civilians around the country yearn for the imperial court and the heart is much stronger.

Under the many good news, Bazhou under the jurisdiction of the Huangzhou Governor's Office was also jubilant, and the meritorious soldiers attracted the official reward of the imperial court, and as the envoy to Yecheng, Bazhou Thorn History, Xiyang County Gongyu Wenwen, in Yecheng public and private, bought a lot of things out of their own pockets and transported back to Bazhou.

Xiyang County Mansion, there is a team of carriages parked outside the gate, the shopkeeper Liu who has just arrived is talking with the housekeeper Li Sanjiu, the shopkeeper Liu returned to Bazhou with the team this time, responsible for escorting the goods and horses bought by the Xiyang County Office all the way, and now he has traveled thousands of miles for more than a month, and finally arrived in Xiyang City safely.

"Madame and her family are in the manor, first send the gifts prepared by the lord to the ladies, and then report to Madame when the rest is counted." Li Sanjiu said, seeing the appearance of Shopkeeper Liu, he asked with concern: "Shopkeeper Liu has worked hard along the way." ”

"Where, where, it's just a matter of duty." Shopkeeper Liu waved his hand, he thought for a while and added: "Steward Li, the books that Xu Beijia and Hao Zhizhong want to buy are loaded separately, and now they have to be sent to the state government first?" ”

"Send someone to send it to the state office, Hao Beijia shouldn't have moved out yet, and Xu Junshou's book will be sent to Hao Beijia."

Shopkeeper Liu was a little stunned when he heard this, and Li Sanjiu explained briefly when he saw this: At the beginning of this month, Daxingtai had issued an order to approve Bazhou to divide Badong County in the area east of Ba Shui, and the county governed Badong City (formerly Bahe City), and the first county guard was the former Bazhou Bei Driver Xu Shao, and Hao Wu Bo took over the post of Bei Driver in Zhizhong.

"I see, what you said is right, when I return to Bazhou from Yecheng, I will find a big change."

"What about the seeds you bought? Is it a separate load? Let's send it directly to the manor, Steward Zhang will receive it over there, and the books will be unloaded here, and what about the horses? Did the fifteenth steward take it? Li Sanjiu asked, Lord Lang spent a lot of money to buy back more than 2,000 horses, but there can be no mistakes.

"One thousand and one hundred war horses, one thousand two hundred horses, God willing, there is not a single one missing this way, and the fifteen stewards have already led people to receive them and brought them to the horse ranch."

Li Sanjiu was a little relieved when he heard this, although the matter of receiving horses was not in his charge, but the lord of Lang valued horses very much, Shannan did not produce horses, and the horses allocated by the imperial court were more monks and less porridge, so his own lord Lang was changing his way to get horses.

"Steward Li, this is a seed that the envoy has packaged separately, saying that it is a flower and plant in the imperial garden, a white stack, a poppy, and it is necessary to try planting it in the garden of the palace first." Shopkeeper Liu handed Li Sanjiu a wooden box with a piece of paper attached to it for signing.

"The envoy said that this thing is precious, and the seeds will be planted first." Shopkeeper Liu suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in Li Sanjiu's ear: "The envoy has ordered that not a single seed be allowed to flow out." ”

Li Sanjiu nodded, picked up the wooden box, signed after confirming that the seal was undamaged, and then put the wooden box into his arms, since the lord of Lang had an order, then he had to resolutely implement it, seeing a string of wooden boxes piled up on the carriage were unloaded one by one, and carried into the house, he sighed: "So many counts, it is the so-called sweat cow full of buildings..."

In a courtyard in the house, the servants came with boxes one by one, entered the room and put them away, the room was full of wooden boxes, Zhang Ke and Wei Dijun led a few people to keep unpacking and inspecting, there were volumes of books inside, and Zhang Ke was soon attracted by a book.

"It's Hualin... Hualin is all over... This is the five hundred and sixteenth volume, and Gangneung can't see it!" Zhang Ke's face was happy, he looked at it carefully for a while, and he almost couldn't put it down.

"Is it really "Hualin Through"?" When Di Jun heard this, he leaned over and picked up a book in the wooden box, and after reading it for a while, he also smiled, "What my father never forgets is this "Hualin Wandering", and there are still more than 160 volumes missing from the collection of books at home..."

Zhang Ke picked up the list, looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "Six hundred and twenty volumes, it's all over, it's all over!" ”

"Zhang joins the army, Wei Di joins the army, please check the book first, the number is right, it's not too late to see it." A person next to him reminded that he was a guard in the house, and he followed Shopkeeper Liu back from Yecheng, and now he is handing over the purchased books.

"Yes, first-in, first-in."

Zhang Ke and Wei Dijun nodded, the first task today is to check the books bought back from Yecheng by a cart and put them into the warehouse, anyway, the books are all there, and you can read them later, Yuwenwen bought these books back, just to let people read them.

Zhang Ke's sister Zhang, is the queen of the Liang Emperor Xiao Yue, the daughter of Empress Zhang, Xiao Jiuniang, is now Yuwenwen's side room, last year Zhang Ke returned to Liang after hardships, Empress Zhang learned that her daughter was far away in Bazhou, so she sent two palace maids to Bazhou with Zhang Ke to take care of Xiao Jiuniang as her mother's family.

The two palace maids are now serving by Xiao Jiuniang's side, and Zhang Ke, who is an uncle, lives in the side courtyard of the Xiyang County Mansion, and was appointed by Yuwenwen to join the army as Tian Cao of Bazhou.

Zhang Ke was born in a scholarly family, and Di Jun supervised his father Di Shiwen since he was a child, and he was also good at reading, these two people who joined the army were relatively highly educated scholars in Bazhou City, so they were invited by Yu Wenwen to help.

"Zhang joined the army, Wei Di joined the army, the books have been moved in, please check slowly."

Looking at the wooden boxes in the room, and then looking at the other two rooms in the courtyard, Zhang Ke rubbed his temples, Wei Dijun sighed, and said softly: "This is the sweat cow full of buildings..."

。。。。。。

In the east of Xiyang City, on the east bank of Bashui in Badong City, several carriages stopped in a house, and Hao Wubo, who had been promoted to another driver, got off the car and greeted Xu Shao: "Xu Junshou, don't come to be harmed?" ”

"Shangguan's visit to the cold house is really brilliant." Xu Shao said with a smile, he is now a county official, and Hao Wubo is a state adjutant, so there is this joke.

"Na, the books that Yuwen Envoy Jun bought, as soon as they were sent to the state government, I personally brought them over, so many books, it's really full of sweat." Hao Wubo pointed to the cars behind him and said, "You have all the books to buy in your list, and there is one more set, guess what it will be?" ”

Xu Shao pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then asked tentatively: "It can't be "Hualin Everywhere", right?" ”

"It's "Hualin Through", six hundred and twenty volumes, one volume is not a lot!"

"Really, in which car?" Xu Shao's face was happy, "Hualin Quanluo" was compiled by Xiao Yan, Emperor Xiao Wu of the Southern Dynasty, and was an important work of the same kind of books, which swept the north and south after the book was completed, but more than 30 years ago, when the Hou Jing Rebellion was damaged, the official collection was damaged a lot, and the hand-copied books on the market were extremely difficult to make up a complete set of 620 volumes.

"Well, in the state office, borrow me to read it for a few days, and then return it to you when the copy of the maid's book is finished."

"When are you going to copy six hundred and twenty volumes?"

"Twelve people copied it, and it would take half a month to say the least."

"Don't you have it at home? Just take out the missing volumes and copy them, and I'll pay back the rest! ”

"There are more than 180 volumes missing, and my father sent people to search for them in Jiankang Bookstore for a long time, but they can't get them together. Anyway, it's all copying, just copy enough of a set, you're busy now, let's see it in half a month. ”

The two walked and talked into Xu Shao's new mansion, they have been living in the state government since they went to Bazhou, and now Xu Shao is the new county guard of Badong County, so he moved to Bahe City, which has been renamed Badong City, and Hao Wubo has also placed a house in Xiyang City, ready to move out of the state office.

Since Yu Wenwen took office as the assassin of Bazhou, nearly two years have passed, and the situation has changed significantly: Bazhou's state rank has been raised, and a county has to be separated. This matter, which began to brew at the beginning of the year, has now become a reality with the order of Daxingtai.

According to the Zhou system, the number of households in a state is more than 10,000 but less than 20,000, which is the seventh life state, the original number of households in Bazhou is more than 10,000 but less than 20,000, and later moved into the Wuchang County of Chen State thousands of households, and the soldiers of the Hulin Army and the navy have many family members to settle down, and now the number of households in Bazhou has exceeded 20,000.

The number of households in the state is more than 20,000, it is an eight-life state, and the rank of the assassin has been promoted from seven to eight lives, and the rank of the governor of the state, such as Shi, Sima, Silu, and Beijia, has been upgraded by one level, and Badong County is divided on the east bank of Ba Shui, and the county governs Ba Dong City (formerly Ba River City).

The first Badong County Guard, for the original Bazhou Don't drive Xu Shao, Bahe County under the jurisdiction of nearly 4,000 but less than 5,000, according to the Zhou State system, Bahe County is the county of five lives, the county guard Xu Shaopin ranks five lives.

In addition to the appointment of the county by the county officer, the lord Bo and the county adjutant were promoted by the county guard, and Xu Shao is now officially as a parent official, educating the people of a county.

Badong County governs the area east of Ba Shui, and builds a city on the east bank of the upper reaches of Ba Shui, which is to settle the people and the migrated mountain people for Shangba River City, and the county soldiers are composed of soldiers of the Hulin Army who have been disarmed and returned to the fields and residents of Ba Dong City (Ba River City), responsible for defending the city and protecting the people.

There is also a new resident of Patong County, that is, the surrendered Chen army captives.

Last year, thousands of Chen soldiers were captured in Bazhou, Jiangbei, and most of these captives were conscripted civilians, who worked as coolies in Bazhou for more than a year, but their fate was not to do coolies until they were exhausted to death.

Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen set a rule, so that the outstanding performers can have two choices: go home or divide the land in Bazhou and settle down.

In June this year, the embankment on the north bank of the Santai River was completed, and according to the reward and punishment regulations, more than 900 Chen army captives had the opportunity to do the multiple-choice question, and finally more than 500 people stayed behind and became the people of the Zhou State and settled in Bahe County, Bazhou.

They got the land and the house as they wished, and with this condition, the matchmakers flocked to the door again to match the daughters of the surrounding people to be married.

A group of coolies got out of the sea of suffering, and new coolies were added in, and in the vast Dabie Mountains, Tian Yunshan, the culprit who attacked Yiyang County, was still 'at large', and the volunteers from all sides pursued them relentlessly, and the result was that a large number of young people were continuously transported.

Among these young people, some are 'rebellious' cottage villagers, so they have to do coolies to 'atone for their sins', while some are afraid of the volunteers' misunderstanding, and under the leadership of the cottage owner, they surrender to the government and are willing to settle in the mountains.

The former kind of people are all transferred to building water conservancy as coolies, while the latter is a different kind of people, who settle down for the state and county governments, open up wasteland and farm land, pay rents, and be good citizens of the Zhou State.

"In less than two years, there are more than 10,000 more households in Bazhou, the cultivated land has been doubled, the water conservancy ditches and embankments have been completed, and countless wastelands are about to be turned into fertile land, which is really unbelievable." Hao Wubo said with emotion.

"Since Hao Beijia is so emotional, it is better to write a poem, and the lower official will inevitably write it." Xu Shao said with a smile, Hao Wubo has been promoted to the position of state driver, and he has taken advantage of the east wind of the state rank promotion to drive the four lives, although it is not as good as his five lives and county guards, but after all, he is a state official, so there is this joke.

"How, let me be your county leader, and I will work hard for two years to double the number of households and cultivated land in Patong County."

"Don't, if you come to be a county prince, I'm afraid Shibo will blame me for missing your future." Xu Shao shook his head with a smile, "Most of the people in Bahe City are the families of the state soldiers and the Hulin Army, and there are no stumbling blocks, and the affairs of the county government are much easier to handle." ”

"I really can't figure it out, there are people who choose to disarm and return to the field, is this ambition?" Hao Wubo was a little helpless, the Hulin Army will recently have a group of soldiers 'retired from the army', guarding the fields divided by meritorious service awards to live a small life, he felt a little incredible.

A small fortune is peace, what a big thing can become!

"Everyone has their own ambitions, the envoy said, the twisted melon is not sweet, anyway, they also settled here, if there is a war to help defend the city, it is more suitable."

Looking at the direction of the Hulin Army barracks, Hao Wubo said with some concern: "It's the discharge again, and it's the backbone again, this time the change is so big, I don't know if the Hulin Army has been hollowed out..." )
