Chapter 117: Taking office in Guangling County
"My lord, if you become the Taishou of Guangling, what should I do in Licheng?" When the news that Han Lie was named the Taishou of Guangling and the general of the right middle lang reached Licheng, the civil and military generals under Han Lie's account were overjoyed.
However, another thing was put in front of Han Lie, Licheng belongs to the subordinate counties under the rule of Donghai County, although Han Lie was promoted to the post of Guangling Taishou, but he has no right to govern Licheng, and Licheng has become Han Lie's base camp for nearly a year, if he gives up like this, let alone Han Lie, it is a group of officials under his account, and no one is willing to let go.
The person who asked just now was Wang Bao, who served as the Cheng of Licheng County, and he was undoubtedly the most affectionate for Licheng, so when he learned that he was leaving, he asked anxiously.
"Brother Renjing doesn't need to worry, I have discussed the matter of Licheng with the military advisor, and I recommended it to Tao Envoy, you will serve as the county commander, Gongyou (Sun Qian) will serve as the county commander, and Uncle Xu's troops and horses will be stationed in Licheng, and he will also lead the county lieutenant, and Zhang Li and Wang Fu will continue to be responsible for the affairs of Tuntian." Han Lie smiled and read out the follow-up arrangements he had discussed with Guo Jia.
"Whoa." The officials who were named by Han Lie stood up one after another in response.
In order to reduce the suffering of the people, the 200,000 people who followed from Beihai Xintai moved into Sheyang, Yandu, Dongyang, and Ping'an counties under the rule of Guangling County, and these four cities are surrounded by Licheng, and the farthest place is only three hundred miles, which can also alleviate the suffering of the people to continue to migrate." Han Lie's placement was also carefully considered, and he had also discussed it with Guo Jia, Guo Yuan and others a long time ago.
"Whoa." Guo Yuan, Cheng Bing, and Wang Ling got up and answered.
"Gongming, your ministry will set off tomorrow morning, rush to Guangling City first, Zilong Ziyi, the two of you, will be responsible for assisting in the relocation of the people, and three days later, the various departments will set off." Han Lie then conveyed another military order.
In order to take office, Han Lie, the lord, is also not idle for a moment, and the copywriting on the desk is piled up on the mountain, fortunately, Cai Yan is also quite understanding, and with Cai Yong's arrival, she naturally has no time to pay attention to Han Lie.
In recent days, Cai Yan is undoubtedly the happiest person, first Diao Chan, who she regards as a good sister, came back, and then her father who had been absent for many years also came, and in the face of this series of surprises, she was almost out of shape with joy.
Although Han Lie has money in his hands, but the relocation and resettlement of the people is still a huge project, which is naturally enough to keep Han Lie busy, he originally thought that he could be busy in three days, but he was busy for six days, and the 200,000 people who were stranded in Licheng only embarked on the journey to the four counties.
On the occasion of parting from Licheng, Han Lie once again climbed the gate tower of Licheng, looking back at the city, it was already crowded with people outside the city gate, although the time was not long, but since Han Lie came, Licheng has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Lord Han is here......" When Han Lie's figure appeared at the head of the city, a burst of shouts immediately broke out in the crowd outside the city gate.
"Lord Han, are you still coming back?" Someone in the crowd shouted.
"Lord Han, we can't bear you."
"Lord Han, please don't abandon your people."
……
Facing the noisy crowd, Han Lie waved his hand and shouted: "Folks, thank you for your love, to be honest, I have not done enough, I am ashamed of everyone's love, I apologize to you." ”
"Lord Han......" Seeing Han Lie on the head of the city bending down and bowing to make an apology, for a while, tens of thousands of people surrounded by the city knelt down one after another and shouted: "Meet your lordship......"
Cai Yong, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the dense crowd, frowned, and said: "Han Ziyang has such an official reputation, it seems that I really underestimate him, in the past, he was able to assassinate Dong Zhuo in the midst of the palace ban, and I still think that he has some bravery, but now it seems that he is indeed a person with great courage, and it is no wonder that Wang Zishi (Wang Yun) will have high hopes for him." ”
"But now it seems that the prince is afraid that he will be disappointed, how can such a person be willing to be left behind?"
Cai Yong did not avoid his daughter at all, obviously he intended to say this to Cai Yan, who was in the same car, and he was still quite dissatisfied with his daughter's behavior of running away from marriage at first, but as time went by, especially after many years of separation, when he saw his daughter again, all the complaints had already disappeared.
Especially after experiencing the great changes in the court, Cai Yong, who has been in his sixtieth year, has been pessimistic about the so-called righteousness, fame and fortune, and now for him, being able to read the classics of history in his spare time and talk about the way of piano and chess with his daughter has become the happiest thing for him.
Cai Yan is such a smart person, the meaning of her father's words, how can she not understand, facing her father's kind gaze, she smiled slightly, and said softly: "Ziyang, is an ambitious person, this way, his hard work and sweat, his daughter is in the eyes, no matter the wind, frost, rain and snow, hunger, cold and hardship, as long as he is willing, Yan will always accompany him." ”
"Is it that you are of the same heart, there is nothing to worry about as a father, after you arrive in Guangling, find a suitable day, and you will get married." Cai Yan nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
Guangling County is Guangling City, which is Yangzhou City in later generations. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Guangling County governed eleven counties, basically covering the north of the Yangtze River in later generations, half of the northern Jiangsu region, Guangling County in this era has a few embryonic fish and rice towns.
The vast fertile land, the extensive irrigation of water conservancy, and the abundant sea salt in Yandu City make Guangling's agriculture and economy above the counties of Xuzhou, second only to Donghai County, where the state capital is located.
Guangling County was originally too guarded, before Han Lie took office, although he had been transferred, but the subordinate officials of the county were basically still in office, after Han Lie took office, after inspecting the talents of these people, except for the unqualified, naturally all of them were retained.
There are only a few key positions, Han Lie has replaced his own people, such as Zhizhong, Han Lie let Guo Jia take the lead, as the head of all civil officials, it can be said that it is his own heart, so he naturally wants to let others serve as him.
In addition, the position of county lieutenant, Han Lie was also replaced by Xu Huang, the county lieutenant is in charge of the military of a county, and the rank is higher than that of a military attaché of 2,000 stones, which is equivalent to the position of a partial general.
Xu Huang has followed Han Lie for many years, with outstanding military achievements, loyalty, and outstanding talent, it is very suitable to serve as a county lieutenant, and Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shici, Xia Houlan and others, in addition to still commanding the old department, have also been promoted in their official positions.
At the beginning of his tenure, Han Lie consulted Guangling's household registration and treasury roster, which was related to the population issue and the money and grain issue of the treasury relationship, both of which were major issues of life and death, and Han Lie could not afford not to pay attention to them.
Due to the southern, the population of Guangling County was originally less than that of the counties in the Central Plains, but since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many displaced people in the north have fled to Guangling, and in recent years, there have been few wars in Guangling, and the population has not decreased, but has increased.
Of the 11 counties in the county, seven counties have a population of 10,000 households, and four counties have a population of between 5,000 and 8,000 households, with a total registered population of 370,000, an increase of nearly 50,000 compared with before the Yellow Turban Riots.
When Han Lie was in Licheng, with the population of Beihai migrating, there were 310,000 people under his rule, and now if you add the population of Guangling County, the people under his rule suddenly increased to 680,000.
Before the first county guard meeting, Han Lie summoned Guo Jia to the study and had a discussion.
"Feng Xiao, before the parliament, we must confirm a few development guidelines, according to your opinion, in the next year, which aspect of development should we focus on, as well as the next three years, five years, I don't know if you have any ideas?" Since Han Lie was appointed as the Taishou of Guangling, he had actually planned a development strategy in his mind, but the future strategic planning was related to the future of all the people under his account, and it was impossible for him to make a decision alone, so in Han Lie's opinion, the first thing to do was to listen to Guo Jia's opinions and ideas.
"Now that the autumn harvest is over, it is the time for winter wheat to be planted, and our first thing at present is to vigorously cultivate, accumulate grain, and accumulate wealth in order to strengthen military strength. There is not enough wealth accumulation, and the war at one end will start, which will only be a misery and a poor livelihood, so Jiashen thinks that in the next three years, the lord will try not to carry out large-scale military operations as much as possible, but Guangling is located above Jiangdong, and the land of Jiangdong is now lacking in heroes, which is the place where the lord can encroach, so Jia thinks that in the next three years, the lord can gradually encroach on the land of Jiangdong, a city in January, a county can be occupied in a year, and the land of Jiangdong in three years is afraid that it will be in the hands of the lord. ”
"Encroaching on Jiangdong and passing through Xuyu, the business of the king can be successful, the advance can be directly driven to the Central Plains, and the retreat can rely on the risk of the Yangtze River to protect itself."
Guo Jia is obviously thoughtful about the future development, in fact, since Han Lie was awarded the title of Guangling County Guard, Guo Jia began to prepare local information on Jiangdong, as a military advisor with keen insight, Guo Jia's eyes could not ignore Jiangdong, an ownerless anointed land.
"Dashan, it seems that Fengxiao and I have thought of a piece, so I can rest assured." Han Lie nodded happily, in his planning, although farming and economic development are the top priorities, but the land of Jiangdong is also the focus of strategic deployment, and it is not short-sighted to occupy Guangling and not take Jiangdong?
