Chapter 56: Another Two Years in a Hurry (Part I)
More than two years passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to May 188. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The addition of Li Yu has caused a lot of changes in history, some things have completely changed, and some still appear.
The Eighth School of the West Park was still formed, and the other seven schools were all under the command of the Captain Jian Shuo of the Military Academy, with the original intention of making this army completely under the control of the Imperial Party and becoming an armed force in the hands of Liu Hong.
As soon as it was formed, six positions were snatched away from the family for the seven lieutenant places. Bao Hong, a son of the Bao clan in Pingyang, Taishan, won the lieutenant of the lower military academy; Yuan Shao, the son of Yuan Shao, took away the lieutenant of the lower military academy; Because Cao Cao went to the Western Regions, the military captain who originally belonged to him was also taken down by the reactivated Huangfu Song; Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, was originally from a poor family, but Yuan Valve married him with Yuan Shu and married his daughter Feng, which can be regarded as joining the family camp; Not to mention the left and right captains, Xia Mu and Chun Yuqiong, the two were also Yuan Valve's protégés.
Only one Zhao Rong is still the emperor's party, but there are only two people, he and Jian Shuo, and they can't become any climate at all. Huangfu Song seems to be a eunuch, but he is definitely a double agent, and his talent is really good, but when he wants to stand in line, he sways left and right.
The family is menacing, and it is completely different from the subtle in the past. If it was before, they would have taken at least 30% to 40% of the quota, but now they have directly taken more than 80%, which shows that the other party has begun some kind of action.
Not to mention anything else, in the past few years, there have been continuous yellow turbans, and there have been rebellions in various places, but they have also been quickly pacified. The family is becoming more and more unabashedly performing, on the one hand, secretly inciting others to rebel, on the other hand, he himself leads people to quell these rebellions, and then one by one military merits continue to be obtained, and the family in the court, in the army is getting bigger and bigger.
Even, they instigated the rebellion of the Southern Xiongnu and killed Qiangqu Shan Yu, who obeyed Liu Hong's orders. supported Yu Fuluo, who was biased towards the family camp, to the top position, and further cut off Liu Hong's foreign aid.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Yan was still aware of the arrival of the change of dynasty and planned to become the pastor of Jiaozhou to avoid trouble. According to the original history, Liu Hong saw that he could not control Bashu, so he sent the Zhongchang attendant Dong to persuade him, and then Liu Yan went to Bashu.
In fact, after he went to Bashu, he did control the military and political power of Bashu the fastest. But he didn't want Liu Hong to die soon, so he began to have ambitions and became his soil emperor with peace of mind.
But now Hanzhong has been under the rule of Zhang Heng, and there have been tens of thousands of troops in the past two years, and at the same time, Yizhou Assassin Shi Jian is becoming more and more unpopular, Zhang Heng instigated the people with the Five Doumi Sect, and prepared to seize the entire territory of Yizhou.
It is said that Liu Yan is a royal family in the end, and he is more trustworthy than foreign ministers such as Zhang Heng. However, in 184, when Li Yu said goodbye to Liu Hong, he hinted at 'be careful of Liu Yan'. Liu Hong didn't know why, but when he was about to hint at Liu Yan's seizure of power, he thought of this sentence and weighed it left and right, but the ghost didn't send him to Yizhou.
So Liu Yan continued to go to Jiaozhou to be a state pastor, and Yizhou had nothing to do with him, and the later Jiaozhou pastor Xie was even more sad.
Cao Cao's changes are also very big, two years ago after recovering Zhangye and Jiuquan two counties, successfully arrived at Yihe Duhu, from scratch, two years to establish the academy for the local people enlightenment, build roads together with Jiuquan Zhangye two counties, and Guanzhong Avenue is completely coherent. Promoting high-yielding crops, corn and potatoes have taken root here, solving the food problem here.
In two years, Cao Cao went on an expedition before and after the Cheshi Kingdom, completely incorporated this place into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time went west step by step, with the goal of reopening the Western Regions Protectorate within five years and completely opening up the Silk Road! Of course, this is an external claim!
In fact, after these two years, Cao Cao already had an army of 50,000, of which 30,000 were young and strong from the surrendered Qianghu tribe. They served as farmers in their spare time and soldiers in wartime, ensuring the economy and agriculture of Yihedu while ensuring that their combat strength was not reduced to the greatest extent.
As long as Liu Hong gives an order, these 50,000 troops can immediately start waving their troops to Luoyang as foreign aid. In contrast, Dong Zhuo, who exists as a pastor in Liangzhou, is a cover thrown by Liu Hong to attract attention.
Rao is like this, Dong Zhuo's power has expanded very rapidly in recent years. Not only did the scribe Li Ru join his command; There are two generals, Fan Chou and Hua Xiong; Xu Rong, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry has expanded to 30,000, and has formed 5,000 elite 'Flying Bear Army'.
There are also a lot of changes on the side of the family gate valve, among which Yang has continued to promote cotton planting and textiles in the past two years, and all the cotton purchases in Guanzhong, as well as the textile of cotton cloth, are all monopolized by him, and the next step is to start to promote the cultivation of cotton in Kanto and even Hebei, and cotton cloth will gradually replace linen cloth and become the mainstream textile.
After the Li clan in Longxi lifted the state of suppression, it also quickly became active in the army, and more and more children obtained the official position of captain, whether it was in the forbidden army or in the border army, the Li clan occupied an increasing share.
At the same time, the Li family is also further developing animal husbandry, and a large area of grassland in the northwest has been enclosed by the Li family for grazing. Through the cultivation of pasture, green storage feed and other technologies, it has quickly become a pivotal large livestock farmer, and a lot of cattle and sheep have begun to supply this year, which has made the price of mutton fall a lot, and medium-sized families have begun to be able to buy and eat.
Taiyuan Wang's family worked winemaking, and he didn't need Li Yu to teach him at all, so he learned the means of distillation. The Baogu wine and grain wine brewed are also popular all over the country, and there seems to be a tendency to monopolize the northern liquor market.
Although the Yuan family in Runan is very reluctant, with the popularity of high-yield crops in the past two years, the price of grain has been very stable, which means that the grain cannot be sold at a high price, and many families have even begun to have rice to eat, no matter how poor they are, they do not need to worry about starvation.
The grain could not be sold at a good price, so the Yuan family had no choice but to specialize in the restaurant industry. The combination of catering and accommodation, from the environment to the service was the first-class level at that time, and soon opened the entire Central Plains, and even began to develop towards Hebei, Jiangnan, Jiangzhou and Guanzhong.
Even families such as the Xun and Chen families, even if they were reluctant, began to invest in business. Xun's education-oriented, in Yuzhou and Yanzhou opened a lot of private colleges, taking the route of aristocratic colleges. However, the entry standard has been lowered so that more poor people can come in and learn.
Chen's is working hard in the category of cultural products, creating more delicate and more suitable for writing, and also producing other types of stationery, because the price is right, many poor families and even ordinary families can afford it, but it is also in the Central Plains area of the hot sales.
In fact, at this point, everyone understands in their hearts that before the Western Regions is developed, internal sales are the inevitable result. The proportion occupied by the family is too small, and the key is the people below.
Paper has been unstoppable, and more and more papers have entered the homes of the people, and even many people have been enlightened. After having spare money, the people first solved the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and after solving the problem, there was still spare money, part of which was saved, and part of it was naturally to buy books.
Simplified Chinese characters are accepted by the family, and this way of writing, which they seem very rude, has been accepted by more and more people. If they want to go back to writing traditional characters, they will become uncomfortable, especially now that books such as "Analects", "Erya", "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Songs" in simplified Chinese characters have begun to appear on the market, and it is impossible to stop simplified characters.
As a result, the family called the simplified character 'folk style', which means the font used by the crude common people. For them, even if the people learn more, it is useless, and the channels of the court are almost controlled by them, as long as they do not speak, no people are qualified to be promoted to filial piety.
They don't know that when the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, even if they don't want to change, they have to change. Not to mention, if there is a situation where someone is pushing behind this.
More and more people began to have surplus food, and even began to have surplus money. When the farming is slack, more and more people choose to go out to do small jobs, and in the case that it cannot be restricted, the family has also released the suppression of industry and commerce, and the people are not stupid, and it is not good for their reputation to continue to suppress it.
Cutting off people's financial means is tantamount to killing their parents, seeing that more and more people are working to make money, what do you say about strange tricks and tricks, what do you say about being full of copper smell, but you are monopolizing, but you are constantly doing this, doesn't this directly say that the people are a bunch of stupid x?
China's metallurgical technology has also been improved in the past two years, steel production has begun to increase, and many families have begun to invest in mining and smelting. Ore whose prices still fluctuate is more valuable than grain, which cannot be raised.
The improvement of metallurgical technology has led to the complete transformation of agricultural tools from wooden to all-iron, and tools such as shovels, pickaxes, and hoes have continued to appear, and even the Quyuan plough has begun to land on the Chinese mainland, which is said to have been transmitted from the special zone.
The number of people needed for farming began to decline, and more and more people began to move into factories and mines to work. The surplus labor force of society began to increase, and more and more people began to enter the Jiangnan area to open up wasteland.
What once took a million people to do, now only 200,000 people can do. The improvement of science and technology and the improvement of people's physique have made many things simpler. A large number of roads were built, and the entire Central Plains became accessible in all directions.
Together, the Jingzhou area, especially the four counties of Jingnan, has become prosperous. Yangzhou is also becoming more and more prosperous, and more towns have been built in the original deserted places, which eventually makes the administrative area also change.
In 188 AD, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty announced to the world that Danyang County, Yuzhang County, Wu County and Jiujiang County were divided into Wuzhou, and Yuzhang County and Huiji County were changed to Yangzhou.
At that time, even due to public opinion, an edict was issued to return Jing County to the jurisdiction of Danyang County, and as a result, the people of Jing County have also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two years. They are accustomed to having the right to supervise officials, to not being oppressed, and although they are not used to not having their own land, they are more and more powerful and better treated, so that they have begun to gradually get used to life in the Special Administrative Region.
There was a sudden change, and three days later they found that the county decree of trust had abolished a series of policies previously formulated by the Special Administrative Region, and everything was restored to the original situation of the Han Dynasty. At first, everyone was happy that they could get the land, but soon it was discovered that all the contracts were invalid and the factory was all owned by the imperial court.
The gates of the government are closed, and although the original primary school and kindergarten are not closed, there is no longer such good food. Even this year, tuition fees will be charged, and the price is not low.
How can the people be willing to do so now? It was a public commotion, and it almost turned into a rebellion. In the end, all the people petitioned and demanded that Jing County return to the rule of the Special Administrative Zone, otherwise all of them would move to live in the Special Administrative Zone.
When the courtiers heard this, they demanded that it be suppressed by force, but Liu Hong said: "Is it wrong for the people to yearn for a better life?" A few people are still excusable, all the people of Jing County support returning to the Special Economic Zone, which means that the life of the Special Administrative Region is better than now, Zhongqing, as a heavy minister of the Han Dynasty, does not want to let the people live a better life, but wants to use force to suppress these people, what is the intention?
