Chapter Twenty-Six: Jiang'an North

The autumn harvest has begun, and Jianghexing has a full holiday, including the army, except for a few who stay behind, the rest of the personnel are all on holiday. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause every family has a lot of land, Jianghexing doesn't care how they collect it, anyway, what they collect is their own.

Busy for about a month, all kinds of grain into the hoards of each family, looking at the full granary, the former refugees, slaves, all happy to close their mouths, this is the real harvest here. The grain of each family felt that it would not be a problem to eat for a few years, and while the river did not freeze, people exchanged grain for money, and for the first time, the sailboats of the grain merchants were so full, and the sailboats headed for the Han land.

The once wandering heart felt really settled, one by one new homes were established, those who married daughters, those who married wives, and Xianwu City seemed to celebrate every day like a festival. A few days later, Jiang Hexing also joined the celebration procession, and Jiang Hexing's son was born.

This is not only that Jianghexing has a future, but also that Jianghexing's subordinates know that Jianghexing's career has a successor. In this era, the eldest son of the lord of a land is of great significance, and it is closely linked to stability and the return of the human heart.

Jiang Hexing named his eldest son, Jiang Anbei, no matter whether it was good or not, everyone said that it was good, and the guests and hosts were happy. All the dignitaries of the military, politics, business, and science came to show up, and they were all drunk and returned happily.

Of course, Zhao Guang and his wife are even more happy, Zhao Li's head is now higher, Zhao Guang is happy to see everyone, and he no longer always gives people the feeling of being disgraced. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhao Guang not only came to Jianghexing to drink, but also held a feast in his own home, and all the characters also gave face, and all **** congratulated.

And so another month passed, and the sky was full of falling snowflakes, and the ground was white. After the confinement of Zhao Qingyi, she went back to her parents' house. After you came back, you squirmed, you even spoke, the rivers and rivers were strange, is there anyone here who is angry with you?

It took a knock on the side to figure out that Zhao Li was also pregnant with a child. Jiang Hexing laughed and set up wine at home to celebrate Zhao Qingyi having another younger brother or sister.

The cheerful days passed quickly, and the rivers and rivers felt a little unsure of what year it was.

One day, Zhengda under the snow, Jiang Hexing was a little bored in the office office, so he wanted to go home and tease his son. Someone came to report that the envoys of the Han Dynasty had visited.

Jiang Hexing did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited people into the office. An old man in his 50s came, with a dignified face, but he smiled as soon as he entered the door, as if an old acquaintance greeted Jiang Hexing and said: "Mr. Jiang, what a young Mr. Jiang, the old man is fortunate to see the junior Junyan today." ”

Jiang Hexing didn't know who this person was, and said with some embarrassment: "This angel, I don't know what you call it?" ”

"Old man Yan You, entrusted by the imperial court, came to see Mr. Jiang today."

"Mr. Yan's forgiveness, I really am not a citizen of the Han Dynasty, and I don't know much about my Han Dynasty officials. Therefore, I don't know about Mr. Yan, and I hope to forgive me. ”

"Hehe, the old man is not a person with a small belly, you can rest assured. I heard that Mr. Jiang only brought a few dozen people at the beginning, so he knocked Wuhuan down. Then in a year, the rest of the husband was eaten by you. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded, looked at Yan You and said, "Mr. Yan, do you know why I conquered Wuhuan?" ”

"I've heard a little, but it's all hearsay, and it may not be taken seriously. Do you know that Wuhuan is under the jurisdiction of my Han Dynasty, and is under the jurisdiction of the captain of Wuhuan Guard. You drove away the entire Wuhuan people without saying a word, and put my Han Dynasty and the face of the court. ”

"The Wuhuan people continue to plunder the people of the Han Dynasty, thousands of people have been plundered here, thousands of families have been torn apart, parents have lost their children, children have lost their parents, husbands have lost their wives, wives have lost their husbands, when countless families are crying, I don't know where my Han Dynasty is, I don't know where my Han face is? If the Han Dynasty disregarded the safety of the people for the sake of face, I don't think I want such a face. ”

The more Jiang Hexing spoke, the more angry he became, his face was pale, and his eyes were staring at Yan You, as if Yan You was the culprit.

Jiang Hexing continued: "For bandits like the Wuhuan people, if they are not severely punished, more Han people will suffer. For a bird official like Captain Wuhuan, who sits idly by and watches the people being plundered and does not send troops to rescue the people, he is conniving at this gang of bandits to harm good people, and the court should severely punish them. ”

Yan You smiled, his face did not show hesitation, and said lightly: "Others say that Mr. Jiang is a man of temperament, but it seems that this is indeed the case today." ”

Jiang Hexing was a little out of shape, he was not an official in the first place, and he didn't understand any officialdom rules, but he knew that it might not be like this in the negotiation arena.

Jiang He raised his head and said: "Wuhuan was destroyed, they deserved it." The rest of the husband did not know the height of the sky, and dared to come to me to ask for land, and I also taught him a lesson, but who knew that he did not repent, and actually sinned against me again, so I also destroyed it. ”

Yan You continued to smile and said: "I'm afraid Mr. Jiang has misunderstood, I didn't come here to talk about the destruction of Wuhuan, I was ordered by the imperial court, and I hope you can return to the imperial court." ”

"Submit to the imperial court? What is the Dharma? ”

"Wuhai County is set up here, and the court does not send officials, and you will be rewarded as the king of peace, or your king of peace, but you have to go to Chang'an to receive the title. Haha, what do you think? ”

"When Mr. Yan says this, I am almost the same as the Huns. It is a territory of the Han Dynasty, but it is still autonomous, am I right to understand this? ”

"Well, that's what it means."

Jiang Hexing didn't agree immediately, but kept tapping his fingers on the table, which was his habitual action of thinking about the problem.

Jiang Hexing groaned and said, "I have a few conditions, I don't know if Mr. can listen to it?" ”

"Whether I want money or a reward, as long as I can be satisfied, I can agree now."

"The money is also taken from the people, and I can't bear to take it. My first condition, if Wuhai County is established, there will be no military card between Beihai County and Liaodong County, Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, Yuyang County, and Shanggu County; Second, commerce and trade can circulate freely, and the goods of Beihai County do not pay additional taxes in Handi; Third, the Han people must not be prevented from going to Wuhai County to do business, study, immigrate, etc. ”

Yan You tilted his head, didn't speak for a long time, and said after a while: "The establishment of a military card is not aimed at Wuhai County, we are more aimed at the Xiongnu, in addition, there are garrisons in cities all over the Central Plains, and it is not feasible to abolish the border army." Hasn't Mr. Shang Jiang been doing it? It was also a period ago that the price of grain in the border county plummeted, and I learned that Mr. Jiang was operating a good territory, and he could produce so much grain in just one year. If Wuhai County is established, the goods of Wuhai County will enter the Han land and be treated the same as the goods of the Han land. However, the salt and iron of the Han land are all regulated, and I hope that Mr. Jiang will forgive me. As for the Han people coming here, we don't care, as long as they live well, it's not the same anywhere. ”

Jiang Hexing thought about it and felt that as long as commerce and trade were not blocked, he didn't care too much about the rest.

He said to Yan You: "Mr. Yan, this matter is very important, and I have to discuss it with others here." How about staying here for a few days and waiting for news? ”

Although Yan You knew that Jiang Hexing had a lot of authority here, it was not easy to stop this kind of high-sounding prevarication, it seemed that Jiang Hexing was not very satisfied with the price code, so he had to wait and see.

Jiang Hexing convened his important people to gather for a meeting, which took half a month, because some roads were far away, and it was difficult to travel due to heavy snowfall, until half a month later, except for Zhang Kai who went to Phoenix Island, the rest of the important people gathered together to discuss the matter of returning to Shun.

Zheng Yi spoke first and introduced the news he had heard. It turned out that the imperial court also sent people to the Qiang people, and spent a lot of money to induce them to donate their land, belong to the imperial court, and set up Xihai County. Probably Wuhuan and Fuyu were beaten down here, and the imperial court wanted someone to fight here, so they sent important ministers here. Yan You has always known more about this place, so he sent him.

Because Liu Qing was relatively familiar with the imperial court, he said: "I've been thinking about what Wang Mang is going to do recently, and now I have some figured it out." He made Xihai County obedient, and also let us return to obedience, the purpose is that Wang Mang has achieved Siyi Binfu, you see how much money he spent and how many gifts he gave for Xihai County. Zi said: People from afar are not convinced, and they have since cultivated Wende. He cultivated Wende there, and he gave money and gifts to have Xihai County. When the Xiongnu declared the emperor, they had already surrendered, and they also lifted the threat to the north of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan had already been surrendered during the period of Emperor Wu, and we, the territory was larger than Wuhuan, if we were obedient, wouldn't it be more Siyi Binfu? ”

Liu Qing used to have a good impression of Wang Mang, but after entering prison, when Wang Mang was mentioned, he was always easy to be emotional.

Zhang Jie said: "We are Han people, of course it is nothing to return to the imperial court, plus the imperial court actually doesn't care about us, and it is more convenient to travel between the two places, I think it is nothing to return to the court." ”

Most people agree with Zhang Jie, after all, there is the Han Dynasty as a backup, and many things are justified, and everyone is looking at the river.

Jiang Hexing said: "Submit to obedience or not, if you are obedient like the Huns, the court will not care, I generally agree." Whether we want to submit or not depends not only on what the name is, but also on what the benefits are. Returning to the imperial court, we don't need to send troops to the south, and the south vigorously does commerce. The troops are concentrated in the north to deal with Xianbei, and I have not forgotten the battle of Xianbei last year. We will all be people of the court in the future, and we don't know how convenient it is to do business, only when business and trade are bigger, our life here will get better and better. Therefore, I suggest submission, but the requirement is that the court will reward you, and we will decide the rest. Let Wang Mang do the Siyi Binfu, which is good for us, then we will cooperate with him Siyi Binfu. ”

Except for Liu Qing, everyone agreed, and Liu Qing had nothing to say.

Jiang Hexing told Yan You, who was waiting hard, that Yan You was overjoyed, and repeatedly said that the court would have a heavy reward. Yan You ignored the cold weather and hurriedly returned to his entourage to resume his life.
