Chapter 526: Meeting Zhang Mao
As the rebellion of the Hexi family was quelled, the focus of the Assassin Mansion led by Gao Xu gradually shifted to restore the economy of Liangzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the same time, the Liaodong Army did not forget to liquidate the Hexi family. In this rebellion, the Hexi family suffered heavy losses, not only had to hand over all the family's land and tribes, but also had to pay half of the wealth to the Assassin's Mansion.
In short, after these twists and turns, except for a few families such as Song and Bian, the rest of the families have suffered heavy losses.
After paying a huge price, the Hexi family was finally able to keep the family, and although the loss of some money was a little painful, it was not unacceptable.
And with the entry of Liaodong into Liangzhou, many talents in the Hexi family have been reused.
The only thing that made everyone dissatisfied was that in addition to a few people such as Song Pei who were able to stay in Liangzhou, a large number of Liangzhou officials such as Yin Yuan, Yin Tang, and Suo Fu were transferred to Shuo, Bing, and You to serve in other places.
As a large number of the mainstays of the family were transferred out of Liangzhou, Gao Xu, Song Pei and other officials of the Assassin History Office were much less restrained, and under their auspices, vigorous policy reforms began in various parts of Liangzhou.
A large number of serfs, tenants, and slaves were freed as freemen, and not only were they granted land, but their descendants were also allowed to attend schools and scientific examinations.
When some serfs, tenants, and slaves received the certificates, house deeds, land deeds and other documents issued by the Assassin's Mansion with both hands, they couldn't help but cry and knelt on the ground and shouted Long live Da Sima.
With nearly 800,000 low-level people getting their share of the land, the original economic foundation of Liangzhou was completely broken, and Liangzhou, which was once monopolized and controlled by the Hexi family, was finally controlled by Liaodong.
At this point, after recovering the eight counties of Hexi, Liaodong not only had an additional population of 1100,000, but also completely opened up the connection with the Western Regions and controlled the eastern section of the Silk Road.
In the future, with the revival of the land Silk Road, it will once again inject strong impetus into the economic development of the entire Northwest China. A large number of powerful families and magnates in Liaodong have marched westward, trying to seize the interests on the Silk Road in advance.
In order to pacify Liangzhou as soon as possible, Wei Shuo transferred Liu Yao, who had outstanding military achievements, to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, and his original position was taken over by the young general Yang Yu. And Yang Que also became the first person to serve as a local governor among the young generals in Liaodong, and he became the leading figure among the young generals.
The newly established Liangzhou Governor's Office has a heavy task on its shoulders, in addition to pacifying the local area of Liangzhou, Liu Yao also has to devote part of his energy to the Western Regions to prepare for the Liaodong Army to recover the Western Regions in the future.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the control of Hexi, the pastoral government invested a huge amount of money in Liangzhou to build a cement straight road from Dunhuang to Zhangye to Guzang to Jincheng. Only when this strategic road is completed will Hexi be firmly tied to the entire northwest.
When great changes occurred in various parts of Hexi, after a long journey, Zhang Mao, Zhang Jun's uncle and nephew finally arrived in Jicheng smoothly.
And Wei Shuo finally had the opportunity to meet the famous former Liang Cheng King and Wen King in history, if it is Zhang Liang and Zhang Yu father and son who laid the foundation of Qianliang, then the people who will carry forward Qianliang are none other than Zhang Mao, Zhang Jun and Zhang Chonghua.
In particular, during the reign of Zhang Jun and Zhang Chonghua father and son, the former Liang reached the peak of the extreme, and the territory was divided into Liang, Sha and He, and the long history of the Western Regions was set up in Haitou, and Gaochang County was set up in the present-day Turpan region, and the ruling scope included present-day Gansu, western Ningxia and most of Xinjiang.
The pre-Liang territory in history: "the south over the river, Huang, east to Qin, Long, west to the green mountains, north and Juyan".
However, Zhang Chonghua's talent is far inferior to his predecessors, and it is Zhang Mao and Zhang Jun's uncle and nephew who really laid the foundation for Qianliang.
In history, Zhang Mao and Zhang Jun were both extraordinary, and they were conscientious in governing Liangzhou.
At present, Zhang Mao is in the prime of life, it is the age to show his talents, Wei Shuo will not let such a talent waste time, he meets Zhang Mao at this moment and naturally plans to collect it for his own use.
"The criminal minister Zhang Mao pays a visit to Da Sima!"
Zhang Mao hadn't slept a day since he entered Jicheng, and the first thing he thought about when he opened his eyes every day was to touch the head on his neck.
After a few days of worrying, I finally waited for Wei Shuo's summons.
Wei Shuo sat on the top, raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Mao, who was kneeling below, and couldn't help sighing. The butterfly effect he set off has changed the trajectory of many people's lives, including Zhang Mao in front of him. If there is no Wei Shuo to stir up, in the next few years, Zhang Mao will officially take over the important task of guarding Liangzhou, after completing his mission, Zhang Mao, who has no children in his life, will hand over the mission to his nephew.
However, now Zhang Mao is afraid that he will not have this opportunity.
"Sinner? Hum! Resisting the will for your own selfishness, disrespecting the will, ignoring the righteousness of the court, your guilt is not small. ”
"Minister, minister, minister......" Listening to the coldness in Wei Shuo's words, a layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly oozed from Zhang Mao's forehead.
In a panic, Zhang Mao could only prostrate on the ground and keep kowtowing: "The minister pretended to lead Liangzhou, and the position of assassination of history is really a crime that deserves death!" ”
"Humph! It seems that you still have self-knowledge, if it weren't for your Zhang family's meritorious service in guarding Liangzhou, I would have cured your sin early! ”
"Please atone for your sins!" Zhang Mao grabbed the ground with his head and trembled like chaff, as if he felt a catastrophe coming.
Wei Shuo saw that he had scared Zhang Mao enough, so he put away the coldness in his tone, and said with a chuckle, "Hehe, according to the law, you are guilty of an unforgivable crime. But for the sake of Wu Mugong and Zhang Yuanjun, I will spare your life for the time being. ”
"Ah...... This...... This, Xie Da Sima's grace not to kill! ”
Hearing that Wei Shuo would no longer pursue his crimes, Zhang Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect to be able to pass the test so easily, which made him worry in vain for so many days.
In fact, Zhang Mao was too worried, not to mention that he was a talent himself, and Wei Shuo has always had a habit of collecting talents, plus he also had to take into account the feelings of the original Liangzhou civil and military. Therefore, from the very beginning, Wei Shuo had no intention of condemning Zhang Mao.
"Now that there is a candidate for the Liangzhou Thorn History, you don't want to go back to Liangzhou. I heard that you are not in good health, so I will recuperate in Jicheng for a while, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will let you go out to show your skills. ”
"Ahh Zhang Mao's face was full of shock, he thought that even if he was exempted from punishment, he would not be reused by Liaodong in the future. Zhang Mao even made plans to close the door and spend his life in vain, but he didn't expect to get a promise to be reused from Da Sima in person today.
"Ahh You don't still think about the position of Liangzhou Assassin, right? Wei Shuo's eyes swept Zhang Mao sharply.
"No...... No, no, that's not what it meant, the minister was just a little surprised. Zhang Mao denied it again and again.
"Hmph, not the best! However, you don't have to worry about the future, as long as you work hard for Liaodong, I won't treat you badly. In addition, although your nephew Zhang Jun inherited the position of the prince of the country, he should not lie on the merit book and achieve nothing. I intend to send him to study in the school first, so that he can support the lintel of Zhang's house well in the future, and no matter what, he can't fall into the reputation of Wu Mugong. ”
"The minister is the nephew Xie Da Sima Houen."
Hearing this, Zhang Mao's heart that had been hanging was completely put back into his stomach. At the same time, I also admire Wei Shuo's open-mindedness a little, if it were him, he might not do better. But Da Sima not only did not pursue the Zhang family's crimes, but also still left the title of Duke of Liangguo in the Zhang family, retaining the last trace of face for the Zhang family.
"It is difficult for the ministers to die, and the lord is very kind." Zhang Mao is really grateful to Wei Shuo now.
"Alright, get up!"
Wei Shuo saw that the toss was almost over, for fear that if he continued to toss, he would really toss Zhang Mao badly. In any case, Zhang Mao is also a rare talent among the Jin people, and if he really becomes depressed because of this matter, it will also be a loss for Liaodong.
"Actually, speaking of which, I have always admired Wu Mugong, if it weren't for your brother's accidental death this time, Liaodong would not have faced Liangzhou swords. But the unification of the world is the trend of the times, Liangzhou can not be independent of the Central Plains forever, even if there is no today's thing, after Liaodong recovers the Central Plains in the future, Liangzhou still has to face today's choice. ”
"In order to accumulate strength as soon as possible and complete the great cause of expelling Hulu, it is necessary to solve the problem of Liangzhou's secession as soon as possible. Fortunately, everything has passed, I hope you don't cling to the past, turn over the piece in front of you, and know how to look forward. ”
Zhang Mao was not stupid, he quickly understood the deep meaning of his words, and hurriedly agreed. (To be continued.) )
