When it comes to creating chance encounters, no one is more skilled than Yue Wuniang. Although she spent a lot of time in the Turkic tent and gained great fame through the competition, it was impossible to find out too much after all. On the contrary, this time, she took advantage of the "chance encounter" with Meru Sip in Liren City, and the various shili distribution situations in the Turkic tooth tent came into her ears. Only then did the Yunzhou Governor's Mansion have a further understanding of the Turkic situation.

Vigha Khan and his brother Tuli Shek were the highest king of the entire Turkic region and the second of ten thousand people above one person. However, Que Te Qin's health has been poor in recent years, and Viga Khan has no intention of expanding his territory again, so the aggressiveness of the entire Turkic has decreased a lot, and it has also led to the emergence of many new powerful ministers like Melusi. The other two sons of the late Mosi Khan, whose brother had lost his throne and were killed, are now growing stronger and stronger with the support of their father's old subordinates, second only to the Vigha Khan and the Que Te Zhi brothers.

Therefore, although Melu was favored by Viga Khan and was called a powerful minister, he only had a few thousand soldiers and horses under his command, far less than others. Moreover, the majority of the people who looked down on him were in the majority, and he couldn't get allies in the Turks, so he planned to start with the Tang Dynasty, hoping that when the time comes, if the time comes, he will be able to determine the status of his grandson through the Southern Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing Yue Wuniang say that Mei Lu Si had such a plan, Du Shiyi couldn't help but sneer: "Mei Lu Si is not a three-year-old child anymore. Such as the Turkic and Xi Khitans, etc., all of them are respected by the strong. Not to mention that Datang will never send troops to help others fight for the throne, even if I Datang dares to send troops, will he dare to accept it? Aren't you afraid that the Turkic chieftains will attack it en masse? ”

"So, he didn't make this unrealistic request to Bixia, but hinted at you through me." Yue Wuniang sat cross-legged nonchalantly, and seeing Du Shiyi's face moving slightly, she said with a smile, "His meaning is very clear, he is optimistic that you will become a powerful minister in the future, or be in charge alone." Either way, you can help him a lot, and he will reciprocate for you. Otherwise, the Turks may not buy it just because of the good horse you propose, but with him in the middle, you don't have to worry about this. You must know that the quota for guarding Yunzhou is 7,700 soldiers and 2,000 horses, but how many do we have now? ”

Yunzhou, which has been relocated for less than a year, has 3,000 soldiers and 1,200 horses, which is still because of the previous extermination of horse thieves, the defeat of the three Turkic tribes, and the soldiers and horses of the Xi people's department and department. Among the horses, the high-quality horses have been sold, and the rest have been sold, in addition, the horse meat that died in battle has also been processed and has become a delicacy on the dinner table of the military and civilians in Layue and the first month. As for the horses that were obtained from the mutual market, they were the income of the merchants, and they could not be withheld. Therefore, according to the words of Guo Quan, who joined the army, Yunzhou now costs money everywhere, and every bit of waste will be punished by God

"Well, whatever he wants, within my authority, I will make it easy for him."

Although Du Shiyi, the Yunzhou Xuanfu Envoy, can really manage the county of Yunzhong County now, but thinking about the future, he still decided to put a little bit of attention on Mei Lusi. Instructed Yue Wuniang to keep an eye on this person before he left Yunzhou, write down everything in detail, and discuss it together when he went back, so he left this matter behind for the time being. Because, from the beginning of the first month, Yunzhou has entered the peak period of population migration. Although the inner squares of the city have undergone another renovation and the boundaries of each house have been demarcated, it cannot stop the people who have migrated with their families.

Within ten days, more than 600 mouths. This kind of progress made Wang Lingran, a Hu Cao join the army, smacked his tongue, made Tian Cao join the army and Song Naiwang was amazed, and also made the subordinates under him very busy. Especially in the case that the subordinate officials of the Yunzhong County Party have not yet arrived, all the pressure is on the Yunzhou Governor's Office, and the happiest is that he is planning to start dredging the seedlings of the Yuhe, because the sowing and farming are about to be busy, and now the influx of these populations has undoubtedly brought a large number of usable young and strong people to Yunzhou.

After Du Shiyi made it clear before, Miao Hanye thought about it again and again, and didn't even have time to wait for his father Miao Yanhe's reply, so he directly ordered someone to go back to Luzhou to meet the patriarch of the Miao clan in the township. Because before he took office in Yunzhou, his brother Miao Jinqing had specially met him and analyzed the benefits and disadvantages of him, so that instead of having trouble with Du Shiyi, it was better to hone and hone in the field. For this reason, Miao Jinqing also brought a handwritten letter to the Luzhou people.

So the two letters were sent back to their hometowns together, and the elders of the Miao family saw that Du Shiyi had made a name since he took office in Yunzhou, and the dredging of the royal river meant that Yunzhou had one more water trade route. As a result, the Miao clan also clearly expressed their attitude before Miao Yansi expressed his position.

Fangluzhou registered fugitives went to Yunzhou

Luzhou, as one of the places where Li Longji stayed when he was in the cold, is not to mention rich, and it has always been a narrow township where fugitives gather, and there is very little land per capita, and many fugitives make a living from domestic servants or tenants. Now that the grace period of five years has long passed, the imperial court has begun to relevy rents since the beginning of the year, and there has already been a wave of fleeing again. Therefore, the Miao clan only exerted a little effort in it, and the flow of people flocked to Yunzhou, which was rumored to be strong and strong, and governed fairly. In return, Du Shiyi allocated the remaining ten shops in Liren City to the Miao family and Luzhou merchants without objection.

Throughout February, Yunzhou experienced a continuous influx of people, most of whom came from Luzhou, but also many from Shuozhou, Daizhou, Lanzhou and other places. Although Yunzhou City was built on the basis of Pingcheng City in the Northern Wei Dynasty and could accommodate a large population, Du Shiyi had to put another county in Yunzhou on the agenda early.

On this day, after convening the subordinate officials in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, he stood up and drew a circle on the map of Yunzhou behind him, about a hundred miles south of Yunzhong County.

"My plan is to set up a separate county here on the official road from Shuozhou Mayi to Yunzhou, because of the name Huairen."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet, zuihou, or Du Shiyi, who was once a colleague and the oldest member of the army, Guo Quan, said: "Now the mouth of Yunzhou is close to eight thousand, and it has not yet reached the point where it cannot be tolerated in the city. What's more, the land near Yunzhou has not yet been fully granted, and instead of placing another county, it is better to set up villages and towns near Yunzhou in the shape of stars and moons, so that the cost can be less. ”

As soon as Guo Quan opened his mouth, he was asking for money, and although some of the others secretly laughed, most of them thought so. At this time, Du Shiyi shook his head and said, "Most of the people placed outside Yunzhou City are captives and slaves traded by the Xi clan. Because it is uncertain whether they can trust them, they are scattered outside the city, and if they are allowed to live in this way, whether they will be dissatisfied in the future. Second, if there is another war, it is also a matter of labor and money to gather these people into the city to help defend them. Third, on the way from Mayi to Yunzhou, there is no other town except for the official post and guest house set up before, which is very inconvenient, and it is inevitable that some people will have doubts about the geographical location of Yunzhou and are unwilling to come from afar to live in peace. In this way, the establishment of Huairen County will shorten the distance they have traveled and make the trade route more prosperous ⊥. ”

Putting aside the cost of money and food, others looked at Du Shiyi as if he had circled this Huairen County casually, and had to admit that this was indeed beneficial to the entire Yunzhou. However, the thought of setting up another county involves many substantive issues, such as Wang Lingran, who has a big head. He thought about it and said bluntly: "It's not easy to build a city, not to mention, who will govern this new county?" ”

Glancing around at everyone, he found that everyone was as troubled as Wang Lingran, so Du Shiyi said with a smile: "The subordinate officials of Yunzhong County, haven't they already been decided, I heard that they are going to Yunzhou to take office?" Now that Yunzhong County can be temporarily managed by the Yunzhou Governor's Office, wouldn't it be just right to let these people go to Huairen County to take office? ”

Let the subordinate officials assigned by the imperial court to Yunzhong County go to Huairen County, which is not even accurate? You Du Changshi really can think of it

From top to bottom, everyone has the same thought in their hearts. However, seeing Du Shiyi's calm and comfortable appearance, no one would doubt whether Du Shiyi dared to do this, or that Yu Juan had already written to Chang'an to raise the matter before discussing it with them. Especially Song Naiwang and Zhang Zaishui, who were once self-respecting and noble, couldn't help but mourn for those who had not yet come to Yunzhou to take office.

Yunzhong County already has a look, but Huairen County... It's still a wilderness

In the Datong Hall of Xingqing Palace in Chang'an, Li Longji was looking at the Luosha Tan pipa in his hand with great interest, and suddenly plucked the strings and played it with interest. He loved music when he was young, at this moment or plucked or kneaded or swept, a piece of Qingping music played leisurely and fascinating, at the end of the song, Gao Lishi, who was standing on the side, immediately called out a good song: "Everyone is good at drums, but this pipa is also exquisite." ”

"If you haven't played for a long time, your hand has already been born, and you don't have to make me happy. However, it is worthy of being a treasure that is hard to buy, and if it is paired with Brother Sima Dao's Taoist song, it will be even more perfect. Li Longji happily put down the pipa, and suddenly turned his head sideways and asked, "By the way, did the person who went to Xiangyang Zhongtiao Mountain to visit the fruit have set off?" ”

"It's already gone." Gao Lishi secretly slandered Du Shiyi in his heart for being bold, and dared to turn the attention of the Son of Heaven to Xiangyang. However, he and Du Shiyi also had some friendship, so he said with a smile at this time, "Speaking of which, in the near future, it is time for Sect Master Sima and the two noble lords to return to Chang'an."

"They still know it's back." Li Longji snorted angrily, but finally asked, "Does Du Junli have any twists and turns recently?" He is actually tireless, three days and five days a play, even those Beijing officials are not as diligent as him, seeing his statement, the situation in Yunzhou seems to jump on the paper, so that I can see at a glance. ”

That's because Bixia is willing to watch his recital, otherwise if it were someone else, you would have been impatient

Gao Lishi thought so in his heart, and he would not say such a thing, so he said cautiously at the moment: "The slave maid has been to Shangshu Province, and I heard that Du Changshi has another twist and turn that shocked the officials. Because there were too many people living in Yunzhou, he was afraid that Yunzhong County would be overwhelmed by then, so he asked to set up another county on the official road from Mayi to Yunzhong County, named Huairen, in order to accept the people who migrated to Yunzhou. Also said...... If the officials can't be dispatched temporarily, it is better to let those officials who were originally going to take up posts in Yunzhong County go to Huairen to take up their posts first. ”

"This bold guy" Li Longji was suddenly angry. However, after instructing Gao Lishi to go to Shangshu Province to get Du Shiyi's recital, and after finding a map and reading it carefully, he thought about it in his heart, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Du Shiyi's suggestion was really wonderful, and he immediately decided to make a decision, "Yunzhou wants to exchange markets with the Turks and the Xi people, and only one county, which is indeed not enough for self-sufficiency, so according to what he said, set up Huairen County." Those who took office in Yunzhong County should not have arrived in Yunzhou yet, right? Directly reappointed Huairen, let the officials change their appointments, and send them over six hundred miles in an urgent manner. ”

It was so accurate
