Chapter 641: Tuntian Must Do Business
In the fifth year of Zhongping, in mid-February, it was spring in the south, and Liangzhou was still cold and cold, and the land began to be busy again.
Since the recovery of Liangzhou, Fuquan has continued to collect the displaced people, and at the same time the remaining naturalized Qiang Hu Tuntian, now it is also fruitful, last year, Liangzhou under the governance of Fuquan, gradually restored the prosperity of the past.
Of course, for the barren Liangzhou, this is still not enough, after all, it is only food, Liangzhou also needs three auxiliary help, Fuquan absolutely cannot tolerate, only to completely let Liangzhou self-sufficient, in order to make Fuquan stable in the future in those major events.
Now, according to the statistics of officials, there are 620,000 Han people in Liangzhou, which may not be as good as some large counties compared to the states of the Central Plains, but this is the population of the ten counties in Liangzhou.
Moreover, the more than 620,000 registered population, counting those naturalized Hu people, however, after several massacres in Fuquan, there are still more than 200,000 Hu people in Liangzhou. This proportion is still counted after the massacre of Qianghu, and it is no wonder that once the Qiang people rebel, Liangzhou will collapse, and the Qiang people who are familiar with Liangzhou are too many compared to the Han people.
However, there are more of them, and as far as Fuquan is concerned, these people are used by him to manage the fields, and they have long been destined to be squeezed out of the last value, and they will not be given a chance to rebel again.
Therefore, Tuntian is imperative, and to continue to develop, last year with a year, just the local Tuntian planning, from the prosperous Hanyang County, Longxi County and even to the border of Dunhuang County, Zhangye County, under the strong command of the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, all over the country has a preliminary scale, according to the prediction of the Thorn History Department, there is a contrast between the Saibei Tuntian, once the official Tuntian three years later, Liangzhou can barely be self-sufficient.
This is not alarmist, more than 200,000 Hu drops, day and night tuntian, in addition to self-sufficient grain, there will not be much grain storage at all, coupled with the income of Liangzhou Hanmin's acres of land, even if the land in Liangzhou is barren and bitter cold, it can indeed meet the needs of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.
This year is the first year of Datuntian, and under the intervention of Fuquan's own "three-year self-sufficiency" plan, Liangzhou began their Great Leap Forward strategy, the first step of which was spring ploughing.
On the day of spring ploughing, that is, on the day of the Spring Society, Fu Quan, dressed in brown clothes and straw sandals, led the Liangzhou Thorn History Department and a cadre of officials from Hanyang County to carry wine and meat to the Hanyang County Society for sacrifice.
The so-called shrine is a place of worship, that is, a place of sacrifice and prayer, and it is also a place where people gather, entertain and market. Fuquan does not believe in ghosts and gods, but this is the custom of the Han Dynasty, and the people's wishes, and he has no reason to shirk it.
Since ancient times, the Spring Society Day is the most critical part of the agricultural sacrifice, which is related to the wind and rain throughout the year. If a woman does not weave, or suffers from the cold", you can know the importance of farming.
Therefore, many people in Ji County rushed to the temple early, and even the people from other parts of Hanyang County also came to the county, and they were ready to pray to the god of the shrine to bless their fields with a good harvest and another harvest season.
And in the outermost part, it is a place where businessmen who are busy chasing profits gather, although agricultural sacrifices have nothing to do with their personal interests for these merchants, but such a grand sacrificial event on the Spring Society Day, how could the merchants who win by tricks miss such a good opportunity, and the large number of people soon formed one or two temporary small markets here.
After returning from the sacrifice, Fuquan personally took the plough to plough the land, indicating that the king would value agriculture and let the people cultivate with peace of mind.
Of course, what Fuquan did was naturally not these, for him, Tuntian could only succeed, not fail. In order to show his determination, Fu Quan planned to hand over the affairs of the Thorn History Department to Jia Xu after spring ploughing, and he would take people to inspect the counties from time to time, and spur those who did not do things perfunctorily.
However, although Fuquan is heavy on agriculture, he does not dare to give up business, after all, farmers can't get rich, but business can, and Liangzhou since the Han Dynasty, in this barren land, can always rely on the Silk Road. Even if the Western Regions have not been recovered now, it will not prevent Fuquan from re-establishing the commercial order that has been abandoned in the city after the rebellion.
All parts of Liangzhou are very suitable for grazing, and there are a lot of ownerless grasslands because of the war, and Fuquan saw that all of them were taken into official possession, rather than letting them write that the border land was occupied by the wealthy family, it was better to have it for him. After that, Fuquan selected some Qiang people who were very good at animal husbandry from the naturalized Hu people and those who descended to the Huli to resume their old business, raising horses, cattle and sheep, and encouraging the raising of chickens and ducks.
With these livestock products, as the first step for the counties to restart business, and the surplus materials, he can also send people from the Guanzhong area to exchange for a large number of necessary materials. As for the money, Fuquan does not accept anything, and to be honest, the economy of Dahan has been inflated to an extreme level since several rebellions.
When he first came, Fuquan remembered that a horse in the gate was worth tens of millions, but now? has grown to more than two million yuan, even in the Song Dynasty, where there was a shortage of horses, the price of horses would not grow to this point.
Among them, although some of them are monopolized by wealthy families in the border areas because of frequent wars, the more important reason is inflation, and now it is even more exaggerated to the point that you need to use a car to pull money to buy things, and it is about to become a primitive society of bartering.
Inflation is obvious, since last year, Emperor Liu Hong directly depreciated the price of Guannei Hou to five million yuan, which attracted many wealthy merchants in Guanzhong to rush to buy, in fact, it is equivalent to going to Guanzhong from the border area with a few horses. It is said that Liu Hong is now at the county order level and no longer collects money according to the normal promotion, which shows that the imperial court's finances are corrupt.
Liu Hong's move was to exchange more money and make up for the expenses of the imperial court to fight several wars at the same time, but he was not very familiar with finance, and obviously did not consider what it meant to depreciate the official positions such as marquis on such a large scale, which meant that the imperial court depreciated the credit of civil and military officials.
The words of civil officials are naturally to let them be promoted if they have money, and they do not need political achievements, although many celebrities with moral bottom lines must disdain this, but there are many opportunistic people who want to do this. As for the military generals, not to mention, many people worked hard, died nine times a lifetime, and made military exploits in exchange for the official position of Sima Xiaowei and the title of Marquis of Guannei, and now those businessmen can buy it directly with money, how can they be convinced?
Even in the Liangzhou army, which is definitely the elite of the Han Dynasty under the command of Fuquan, there are many generals who have complained about this, not to mention the armies in other parts of the Han Dynasty.
In this regard, Fuquan is also helpless, no one is to blame, the repeated wars, no matter how rich the country is, it has to be exhausted, not to mention that the emperor Liu Hong is not a thrifty person. It is true that in peacetime, there is no problem whether the emperor is diligent and thrifty, but at this time, the emperor's lack of diligence and thrift will undoubtedly make the already deficit finances worse.
Everything can only wait for Dahan to recuperate for a few years, and it is good to recuperate, but can Dahan really recuperate? In this regard, Fuquan expressed doubts? Come to think of it, those party members can't sit still anymore, right? Since last year, after the imperial court pacified the turmoil in northern Xinjiang, Wang Fen united with people all over the world to prepare for rebellion, which has already begun.
Last year, the Han army at the foot of Luliang Mountain, and the Hu people allied forces in a bloody battle, in the advantage of having Lu Bu's hundred cavalry robbery camp at the beginning, and finally the Hu people fought a bloody battle for half a day, and finally the Han army lost nearly 30,000 soldiers, and won it, the Southern Xiongnu rebelled against Xu Bu Shan Yu only with the Southern Xiongnu and Tu various nobles thousands of defeated back to the Southern Xiongnu royal court.
This kind of victory naturally made the court happy, especially when the court even leveled Zhang Chun, Zhang Ju, Zhang Yan and other troubles, Liu Hong saw that the Han army had won such a big victory, so he naturally rewarded a lot, and at the same time relaxed his vigilance outside the court, which gave Wang Fen and others a chance.
Wang Fen, the word Wenzu, a native of Shouzhang County, Dongping County, is one of the "Eight Kitchens" of the party leaders, and is now the history of Jizhou Thorn.
At that time, Chen Yi, the son of the late Taifu Chen Fan, and Xiangkai, a famous warlock from the Qingzhou Plain, both came to Wang Fen's mansion as guests, and Xiangkai said to the two: "Astronomy is not good for eunuchs, and the Yellow Gate and the Chang Shi Zhen clan are destroyed." ”
This is said to be a celestial phenomenon that is not conducive to the eunuchs, Huangmen and Chang Shi are really going to be wiped out this time, for Chen Yi, who has a grudge against the eunuch to kill his father, he is naturally overjoyed. And Wang Fen, who already hated eunuchs, was naturally happy, and immediately replied: "If so, Fen is willing to expel it!" ”
Obviously, Wang Fen regarded himself as a great hero who eliminated eunuchs, so he took the initiative to make friends with Xu You, a native of Nanyang, Zhou Jing of Peiguo, and others, and contacted the world to be familiar with Haojie, and plotted to abolish Liu Hong, and wanted to establish the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor. However, it is obvious that this group of people is too arrogant, and they don't even hide the matter of abolishing the establishment, and they still contact it with great fanfare, that is, Fuquan, who is not the same person as them, and even heard about it in Biansai, which shows the arrogance of the other party.
Among them, they also inadvertently cheated Cao Cao, they once told Cao Cao the plan, hoping that Cao Cao would also come to help the great cause, but after Cao Cao knew, he wrote a letter to reject Wang Fen: "The matter of the abolition of the husband is ominous in the world." The ancients had the right to succeed or fail, and to act according to the importance of things, Yi and Huo are also. Yi and Huo are both loyal and sincere, according to the momentum of Zaifu, because of the importance of the government and the desire of the people, so they can plan to do business. Today, all the kings and disciples have seen the ease of the day, but they have not seen the difficulties of today, and the pretense is very, and the desire must be overcome, and it is also dangerous! ”
Cao Cao's meaning was naturally refusal, just like the meaning in his letter, angrily reprimanding Wang Fen and others, and abolishing the emperor, which is the most ominous in the world. In ancient times, only Yi Yin and Huo Guang had the power to weigh success or failure, calculate the importance and then execute. Yi Yin is sincere and loyal, and according to the power of the prime minister, he is above the hundred officials, so the abolition of the emperor will be completed and the abolition will be completed. When he arrived at Huo Guang, he first received the heavy responsibility of the first emperor to trust the country, and by virtue of the status of the royal family, and with the weight of the queen mother, and the general trend of the concentricity of the ministers outside, plus the king of Changyi did not take the throne for a long time, there were no noble and favored people, and there was a lack of officials in the court, and his words could only be expressed through his attendants, so Huo Guang's strategy was implemented cheaply and quickly, and the completion of the matter was like destroying the withering and decaying. Now you only see the ease of success of the ancients, but you do not see the current difficulties clearly. Think about it, what is the difference between you and the Seven Kings Rebellion? How is the status of the Marquis of Hefei compared to Liu Wei, the king of Wu, and Liu Wu, the king of Chu? And what you are doing now is an extraordinary thing, and it is not dangerous to hope to achieve great things according to your wishes!
However, it is obvious that for Wang Fen and others, who are eager to eradicate Liu Hong, Cao Cao naturally can't stop them, and Wang Fen and others call Pingyuan Huaxin and Tao Qiuhong to make a plan.
When this attacked, Tao Qiuhong wanted to participate, but was stopped by Hua Xin, he said: "It is difficult for Yi and Huo to abolish a big thing. If Fen is negligent but not martial, this will not succeed. ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if you act now, you will definitely not succeed, but it is ridiculous that Wang Fen is so insistent on doing it, and the result is obvious, of course, it is a failure.
Chen Yi Wang Fen invited Haojie, but only a few people agreed, most of them refused, and they were too arrogant, and the news was almost known to the wicked people who had a little way, and they didn't know who and what purpose they had, and they poked this matter out. Fortunately, this person must have an old relationship with Chen Yi and others, and he was reluctant to speak out, but borrowed the mouth of Taishi to prevent Emperor Liu Hong from traveling north on the grounds that "there is a conspiracy in the north, and it is not suitable to go north" on the grounds that the sky is a vision.
Soon, Wang Fen went to Beijing to conquer Jizhou, Wang Fen was terrified, fled with seals, and committed suicide in the plains. This not only protects the participants, but also protects their families. When Wu Jie, the new Jizhou Thorn Shi Hedong native, arrived, he was met with great resistance, and felt that the water inside was too deep, so he had no choice but to give up.
