The land of Longxi, as the name suggests, is in the west of Longshan. It is roughly in the area from Tianshui to Lanzhou in Gansu today. Longxi to Longdong area, is one of the birthplaces of the early agricultural civilization of the Chinese nation, it is said that the ancestor of humanity Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, once discussed medicine with the originator of traditional Chinese medicine Qi Bo, there is "Yellow Emperor Neijing" in the world, "Qi Huang hometown" is named after this.

From the Xia Shang to the pre-Qin period, this place was the land of Rongdi, known as the ghost party. According to historical records, Yin Gaozong killed the ghost party, and he was defeated in three years: Yin Gaozong, a famous monarch in the Shang Dynasty, was named Wuding. This shows that since ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty began to pay attention to and control the northwest land.

During the Eastern Weekend Period, in the forty-third year of King Zhou (272 years ago), King Qin Zhao destroyed the Yiqu Kingdom, and placed three counties of Longxi County, Beidi County and Shangjun in its place, and Longxi County was named after it.

During the Warring States period, Longxi belonged to the Qin State. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he still left Longxi County unchanged, and the county was Didao County (now south of Lintao County, Gansu Province). There are as many as 21 counties under the jurisdiction of the county, which is an important county that rejects Xirong on the right and protects Xianyang on the left, and it is an important place for soldiers to fight for.

In the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (114 years ago), a part of Longxi County was divided into Tianshui County. At this time, Longxi County has eleven counties under its jurisdiction and belongs to the Liangzhou Thorn History Department.

After the chaotic changes of various dynasties, the land and county governance of Longxi County are also often different. During the reign of Cao Wei, Qinzhou was set up and Longxi County was assigned to Qinzhou. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the county still belonged to Qinzhou, with four counties under its jurisdiction, and it was a middle and upper county in the northwest borderland.

Its place is at the source of Weishui, on the desert plateau in the northwest. West out of Liangzhou straight to Hehuang; The south chokes Yin Ping to reject the revenge of Chi Bashu; To the east, you can go down along the Weishui, go straight to Yongzhou, and overlook the important place of Chang'an.

Therefore, this place runs through the north and south, across the east and west, the geographical location is very important, not only the ancient Silk Road east section of the north road must pass through, but also the military of the past dynasties of the military stronghold, but also the combination of the northern nomadic culture and the Central Plains culture.

The thousand-year-old wind and sand swept the loess, sharpening the rough and strong, desolate and generous northwest folk style. In countless internal and external struggles, on the battlefield running through the north and south of the river, the powerful attack power shown by the fierce and fearless is not afraid of death, so that many famous kings and generals can not avoid it for a while.

However, after many battles at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the people's strength in the northwest withered, and there was not one in the ten. The land of Qin Long, who has suffered a lot of trauma, is now licking his wounds silently alone.

Xiangwu County is located in the southeast of Shouyang County. Although it has also gone through the baptism of war, but now the county town is still 350 zhang long and wide, and there are more than 3 zhang high, and the enemy tower, arrow tower and battlement, although damaged, have not lost their due efficacy.

In a word, Xiangwu County is equivalent to skin trauma, which is incomparable to the broken appearance of Shouyang County.

The time will pass. Longxi County is too guarded by Ding Xuan, and he has just put on his robe at the moment, and the robe is wide, which covers his medium-sized and slightly chubby figure very well. He had just finished breakfast, and was pacing unhurriedly towards the mansion. Ding Xuan walked while thinking about his thoughts.

Ding Xuan was originally a person from Guanzhong, and worked in the Yongzhou Assassin History Staff Office in his early years. Later, Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang who guarded Chang'an, was promoted to this place because Ding Xuan was a veteran among the officials and a native of Yongliang, so he was promoted to this place and became a county guard.

When he first took office, he saw that he was tired, the people were poor, the environment was bad, and the fields were barren. Thinking about doing some practical things, on the one hand, I really do good with the people and seek benefits for the people, and on the other hand, with a good official reputation and discussion, I will be able to go to the next level in my career in the future.

Therefore, he planned to conduct a field investigation and visit in the four counties under his rule, which would help him understand the population, labor, and households, and lay a good foundation for the next step of statistical work.

Ding Sui worked tirelessly, and after running to several counties, they were all poor and unspeakably wilted. There are so many things to do that that are really difficult to carry out.

In the northwest, the sunshine hours are long and the natural precipitation is low, which cannot meet the needs of crop growth, and if you want to farm, you must rely on irrigation.

Therefore, in areas where natural rivers pass through, crops grow well, forming many unique agricultural areas, such as the Hetao Plain agricultural area formed by diverting water from the Yellow River for artesian irrigation.

When there is little or no river flow, if you want to farm, you have to dig canals to divert water, or dig wells to get water, in short, you have to rely on manpower to build irrigation. Although Shouyang County is located on the bank of Weishui and is endowed with unique resources, it still needs manpower to guide it in response to agricultural affairs.

Ding Fei wanted to repair farm tools, bring water into the fields, etc., which felt like a huge and complicated matter. When the county has sufficient manpower, there is no financial resources; When it was easy to gather the wealth and materials, the population ran away from the county, and it was necessary to recount it again to prevent embezzlement and fraud. All kinds of trivialities make people extremely disappointed and lose confidence.

After several times, Ding Sui's enthusiasm was worn out. Only all agricultural affairs were entrusted to Konda Cao. Na Tian Cao likes farming, does not think it is hard, runs every day, and saves himself a lot of troubles.

It didn't take long for the subordinate Shouyang County to come with news of the change, and a person named Zhiping killed the original county order and occupied the county seat.

Is this worth it? Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion. Ding Sui wanted to send troops to arrest him, but before the soldiers left the city, Zhi Ping came in person.

He brought the appointment order of the imperial court, which made people speechless. It is important that along with the order of appointment, there were two hundred taels of gold, four hundred taels of silver, and eight hundred horses of cloth and brocade. And a hundred sheep came, and they only said that they would give a tooth sacrifice to the soldiers and brothers.

Then, Ding Xuan and Zhi Ping were on the wine table, their faces were red and their ears were red, and they even hooked their shoulders and backs, and all the problems were no longer problems. Drunk, Ding Sui suddenly realized.

Why do you have to work so hard? What exactly do you want to do? Life in the world is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun. He once wanted to make a good name and earn a good future by working hard, but now it is ridiculous to think about it. If you want to be promoted, you have to follow Zhi Ping's routine.

Having said that, even if you don't get promoted, you don't have anything to lose. In today's world, no one knows whether they can see the sun of tomorrow. Living every day is right.

At present, he is also the head of a county, a dignified and upright five-grade member, and wherever he goes, he will not have no identity. As long as you have real money and benefits, why care about anything else?

Besides, in today's troubled times, the bigger the official, the greater the responsibility, and the probability of being targeted by both oneself and the enemy, needless to say, will also be magnified in equal proportions -- low-key, low-key is better.

Zhiping will have a heart to give it every once in a while. What a wonderful one. Ding Xuan sighed in his heart, Lao Zhi understands me, Lao Zhi understands me!

A few mornings ago, Ding Xuan had just sent a secret letter to Zhiping that Chang'an had been attacked, and in the afternoon he received an urgent report from Zhiping. The letter was densely packed, but there was not a single word, it was related to the dispute between the court.

Zhi Ping gave a detailed report on the current mountains and undercurrents in Shouyang County, as well as the threats he faced. said that Pan Wudu and Gao Yue were both wolf ambitions, and they were obvious people, and the bullying and persecution of him had reached the point of outrageousness.

At the end of the letter, Zhi Ping repeatedly implored Lord Taishou to understand the urgency of his subordinates' distress and urgency, and to help, so and so, to get rid of the two, after the matter is completed, there will be a good reward, and I wish to live my life as the main thing, and take my brother as the main thing.

Just have a good reward. As for the elder brother. Then Zhi Ping is five years older than himself, what are you kidding? After reading the letter, Ding Xuan couldn't help but laugh dumbly. So he found the county general Wu Tuzhen to discuss sending troops to suppress the bandits.

Wu Tuzhen is a member of the Xianbei tribe, and he has also won a lot of wealth on weekdays, and he has also laughed at several beauties with weak willow posture, so he and Ding and Zhi are very complicit.

Ding Xuan showed Zhiping's letter, and said with a smile that he had to ask Captain Wu this time, so he took most of the soldiers in the city, 700 county soldiers, to Shouyang County to help a group of Lao Zhi.

Wu Tu really responded coolly, and scolded the lord of Zhiping and a county with a smile, but he was frightened by a few of his thieves, and the older he gets, the more cowardly he becomes.

After a few more idle words, Wu Tuzhen clasped his fists and saluted, and went out of the city to order troops. Before leaving, Wu Tu said the truth, this time to suppress the thief, it is really a knife to kill the chicken, this will be able to return in the morning, too shou but sit in the hall, waiting for good news.

That's why I didn't have to get up so early today. But according to the agreement, Utuzhen is about to return. Wu Tu is really familiar with the battle, he can be called a veteran, he personally led nearly a thousand people to suppress a thief, nine out of ten, and there is no need to worry. The point is, how many benefits can be obtained after the deed is completed?

Ding Yu was so engrossed that he laughed out loud. He suddenly came to his senses and looked around, but no one noticed his gaffe, but it was okay.

As soon as he walked up the steps of the palace, a soldier rushed from behind him: "Qi Yu Taishou, the captain of Wu has returned to the city." ”

"Oh? Good. ”

Ding Xuan stopped and turned around, with a happy face. Lao Wu did have two hits, and he said that he would return tomorrow, and now it is really so, a good general!

"Where's Captain Wu?"

The soldier said respectfully: "Captain Wu has just entered the city gate, so he sent his subordinates to report to the Taishou. He asked Taishou to gather all the colleagues and subordinate officials in the county and wait for them at the government office, and Captain Wu said that there was a big surprise. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Captain Wu only explained this, and the rest of his subordinates didn't know."
