Chapter 578: Jizhou Haoqiang

In August of the first year of Yongchang, a month had passed since Liaodong recovered Jizhou, and the new Jizhou Thorn Shi Xiake was busy implementing the Juntian system under his rule. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Knowing that the government was going to divide the land and livestock among the people, the common people from poor backgrounds in various places were naturally rejoicing, but only some of the wealthy families expressed strong dissatisfaction.

Jizhou is a large state, not only has a large population, but also has jurisdiction over 13 counties (countries) such as Anping, Zhaoguo, Julu, Pingyuan, Bohai, Zhangwu, Hejian, Gaoyang, Boling, Qinghe, Zhongshan, Changshan, and Leling.

At present, Wei Shuo is looking at Jizhou, which has a vast territory on the map, and his brows are furrowed, first, the territory of Jizhou is too large, and its strength is far above the rest of the states and counties; Second, some counties are out of place, such as the Plains, which is not only long and narrow, but is also divided into two parts by the Yellow River.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Shuo suddenly said: "Everyone, I want to adjust the counties and counties in Jizhou. ”

"Everyone comes forward, you see that although Jizhou has thirteen counties under its jurisdiction, some counties are too small, and due to the sparse population caused by years of war, it is really not appropriate for a county like Boling to exist alone, otherwise it will only cause bloated institutions and superfluous personnel."

"I don't know how the lord plans to adjust?" Mo Han touched his chin and bowed slightly, he agreed with Wei Shuo's opinion.

Hearing this, Wei Shuo's spirit was shocked, and he pointed to the map of Jizhou and said: "Merge Gaoyang and Boling into Zhongshan, Zhangwu into Hejian, Changshan County remains unchanged, Leling plus Pingyuan County and the northeast counties north of the Yellow River are merged into Bohai County, and the remaining territories north of the Yellow River in Pingyuan County are all merged into Qinghe, and Anping Kingdom is merged with Julu and Zhao County to form the new Anping State." ”

After Wei Shuo's tossing, Jizhou will govern six counties of Zhongshan, Hejian, Changshan, Bohai, Qinghe and Anping, and the administrative office is still in the capital of Anping Guoxin. However, the number of county-level institutions was reduced by seven at once, greatly reducing the number of officials, which coincided with the original intention of streamlining the organs in Liaodong.

For Wei Shuo's adjustment, it is very conducive to the government's governance of the locality, so Liaodong has a supportive attitude. After dealing with the major matter of re-demarcation of Jizhou, Wei Shuo continued to deal with government affairs.

As the war progressed well, Wei Shuo gradually shifted his focus from military affairs, and instead spent most of his energy on increasingly numerous government affairs. Especially as Liaodong began to implement the Juntian system and release slaves in Jizhou, there are a large number of government affairs waiting for Wei Shuo to deal with it in person every day, and it can be said that Wei Shuo has been very busy in recent times.

"The history of the Thorn Clan, you first introduce the implementation of the Jizhou Juntian system."

"Returning to the lord, the implementation of the uniform field system is not optimistic, and there are many powerful people in various places who openly oppose the uniform field system."

With a heavy face, he introduced the implementation of the Juntian system to Wei Shuo.

"Huh? What's going on? ”

Wei Shuo frowned slightly, but fortunately, he had expected the situation in front of him, and he was not too surprised. Jizhou is different from other states, and it is not too much to describe its territory as full of families and heroes. To put it mildly, Wei Shuo really has to thank the frequent wars, otherwise the strength of the Jizhou family will only be stronger.

"My lord, the implementation of the Juntian system in Jizhou is not smooth, mainly because it is blocked by the local powerful family. The minister thought that if the problem of the strong family was not solved, the Juntian system might not be able to be thoroughly implemented in Jizhou, and if the Juntian system was not implemented, how could Liaodong establish its own order in Jizhou? ”

Regarding the worries of the Xiake of the Qi family, Wei Shuo knew that the implementation of the uniform field system was not only about distributing land to the common people, but also the key to Liaodong breaking the local clan power and deepening its own influence. Without the implementation of the uniform land system, Liaodong's rule in various places would never be firm.

"It seems that some garbage is unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history!" Wei Shuo's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Lord, don't be impulsive, at present, there are many powerful people in Jizhou, and the power is all over the counties, if you take rash measures, in case it causes turmoil in Jizhou, the gains outweigh the losses."

Wei Shuo nodded and understood the deep meaning of the Xiake words of the Qi family, Ji, Yan, Si, Yu and other prefectures are all places where the powerful families are concentrated, and there are as many high-ranking people as there are sand in the desert. After the outbreak of the Yongjia Rebellion, although more than sixty percent of the families chose to move south to Jiangzuo, there were still a large number of families who stayed in the local area.

Although the strength of these families has decreased a lot due to the war, they are still the forces that attract the attention of all parties, and even the strong ones like Shile cannot completely control the Hebei family. If Liaodong wants to straighten out the Jizhou family, he has to make great efforts.

"My lord, if the powerful people in various places just obstruct the implementation of the Juntian system, it is nothing, and Liaodong has its own laws to punish it. However, the powerful people in various places rely on the dock fort and want to divide the place, which is really a bit of a big rebellion. ”

"As we all know, since the outbreak of the Yongjia Rebellion, causing turmoil in the Central Plains, a large number of local wealthy families gathered in the township Qujiewu Tunbao for their own survival, and for a while, the dock walls of Hebei and the Central Plains were numerous, as many as cattle hair."

"These dock masters are used to being earth overlords, and they have always refused to obey the king's teachings. As soon as I came up in Liaodong, I wanted to eradicate the dock fort and implement the Juntian system, which was equivalent to digging up the foundation of the strong and powerful in various places, and they naturally had to resist fiercely. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shuo sighed: "Yes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, this hatred is not shared, and it is strange that those dock owners don't make trouble!" However, the demolition of the dock fort and the implementation of the Juntian system are the general trend, and no one or force can obstruct them, otherwise they will be enemies of our Liaodong. ”

"My lord, there are historical reasons for the emergence of the local dock fort, and the solution to this problem should also start from the source. Like some of the less ambitious dock owners, their purpose is only to survive. To deal with such people, you might as well lure them with profits, and Liaodong will come up with suitable conditions to appease them. ”

"Especially for those displaced people who are attached to the dock forts in various places, the government should increase its efforts to appease them. At the same time, the benefits of the equalization system were vigorously publicized to the people at the bottom, so that the people realized that the troubled times were over, and guided the displaced people to return to the farmland. ”

In this way, without the support of the displaced people, only the support of the clan tribe remains, and some ambitious heroes are like fish leaving the pool, and they can no longer make any waves. As long as they dare to raise troops to rebel, my Liaodong Xiang military soldiers are not vegetarians, and I must let them know why the flowers are red. ”

Mo Han's suggestion was greatly appreciated by Wei Shuo, and he instructed the officials at all levels in Jizhou on the side: "You must keep in mind that the key to solving the problem of local heroes is not to let them bewitch the people, as long as there is no response from the people, those heroes are a fart!" ”

"This is also the reason why Liaodong insists on implementing the slave release order, without the tribes, slaves, and tenant farmers, the family is like a toothless tiger, there is no need to worry."

"After you go back, you will follow the advice of Shirong just now, and take care of those hateful and powerful families."

"No! Obey the command! The Jizhou officials led by the Xiake of the Yu family bowed down one after another to receive the order.

"After the completion of the uniform field system in Jizhou, after breaking the monopoly of Haoqiang on the local area, it is necessary to implement the armor protection system for the common people in various places, carry out household registration statistics, and compile all households. Finally, don't forget to strengthen the influence of exposition in various places, only when the influence of exposition is great, the clan forces in various places will be restrained, and the rule of Liaodong will be able to penetrate into all social strata. ”

After the various government affairs arrangements in Jizhou were made, Xiake of the Qi family left with his subordinates first, while Wei Shuo still discussed important matters with Mo Han, Wen Qiao and others who were left behind.

"Lord, I just received an urgent report from Jicheng, the imperial court has sent Xi Jian as an envoy to the north, in addition to congratulating Liaodong on the successful destruction of Hu in various places, I also want to edict the lord as the king of Yan."

Mo Han teased as he spoke: "I didn't expect the court to be very generous this time, and even the prince took it out." ”

"The court has such a big blood, but it wants to get the support of Liaodong. At present, the Son of Heaven is suppressed by Wang Dun, if there is no support from Liaodong, how can the Son of Heaven have a chance to turn around? ”

Wei Shuo was silent for a while and said, "Anyway, the Son of Heaven still has to support it, so be it...... When Xi Jian arrived at Xiangguo City, I personally met with him to see what support the Son of Heaven needed. ”

"No!"

At this time, Xi Jian, who had just arrived in Jicheng, did not know that Wei Shuo had decided to stand on the side of the Son of Heaven, and when he learned that Wei Shuo was sitting in Hebei, he had to pack up his apprehension and embark on the journey south to meet Da Sima again.
