Chapter 19: A long-term solution
Guo Jia defeated Lu Bu in his old way and resisted foreign enemies, and the rewards for the soldiers could only be implemented in accordance with the reward and punishment system formulated in the army, because he won the battle, but there was no actual gain.
Conquering Guanzhong is different, in essence, it is an external expansion, Guo Jia obtained the land resources of Guanzhong, and during the feudal period, land was even more valued than officials.
In the Qin and Han dynasties, when slavery collapsed and feudalism arose, private ownership of land was recognized, and most of the people wanted to own a piece of land of their own, regardless of whether the people's occupation was a farmer or not.
Guo Jia wants to compensate and praise the three armies, first of all, the distribution of land, throughout the rise and fall of the dynasty, the world is divided and reunified, all of which is the redistribution of resources, and the revolution often produces such an intuitive consequence, the old ruling class dies out, and the new ruling class rises, accompanied by a new round of resource distribution.
For the distribution of land in Guanzhong, Guo Jia's plan was divided into priorities, and the Taiping army was the first to be rewarded, because the army was his lifeblood. Next is the people who go south from Guanzhong to Yizhou, they can return to their hometowns, Guo Jia gives assistance, but they can't give them the land directly, as for the elite class in Yizhou who want to fight Guanzhong's idea, they have to queue up, and it depends on the situation.
"Yuan Zhi, send documents to Chengdu, and after the autumn harvest, hold the imperial examination in advance."
The work of distributing benefits is also enormous, especially in the land of Guanzhong, which is extraordinary in terms of both the fertility of the land and the political status.
Even if the abandoned fields were given to the soldiers of the Taiping Army, they would not resume production until next spring, because now that the spring ploughing had been missed, their families in Yizhou had already invested in this year's production.
Guo Jia looked at the map of Guanzhong thoughtfully.
During the period when the Son of Heaven moved the capital to Xuchang, he had to quickly expand the political group he ruled, otherwise it would be difficult to compete with the Kwantung princes.
In the past two years, the scholars of Yizhou have been looking forward to it, waiting for Guo Jia to expand their territory, and now they have fulfilled their wishes, and the opportunity for the scholars who are interested in becoming famous has come.
Chang'an is Yanjing, Guanzhong people are proud of it, even if Chang'an has been deserted, but it also has an unshakable political status, and the Great Han West can not be ignored at any time.
Being an official in the Sanfu land with Chang'an as the center is obviously more promising than being an official in the remote corner of Yizhou, because as long as Guo Jia's pace of expansion does not stop, one day, he will leave Yizhou and move the center of gravity of his rule closer to the Central Plains.
The vacant official positions in the counties and counties of Guanzhong were the booster that stimulated the scholars of Yizhou to actively participate in the imperial examination, and it was also the way to strengthen the political group ruled by Guo Jia.
"My lord, the quota and standards of this imperial examination, and whether the new officials will come directly to Guanzhong, or?"
Xu Shu must ask some details clearly, Guo Jia often only gives an instruction in the general direction, and the staff of Yizhou Mansion discuss and discuss with each other, but this time, the officialdom in Guanzhong is empty, and I am afraid that the entire Yizhou officialdom is focusing here.
There must be many Yizhou officials who also want to come to Guanzhong.
Guo Jia fell into deep thought when he heard this, the talents who participated in the imperial examination in the past two years were not active, because the Yizhou officialdom has been saturated, and the number of places admitted each year is gradually decreasing, so the Yizhou scholars are eager for Guo Jia to expand externally and create space for them to be promoted.
After a moment of silence, Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu and said: "Yizhou Mansion does not need to change its name, but it still controls the government affairs of all the territories under my rule. The selection criteria can not be lowered, even if there are very few people who are really talented and doers, and they cannot be incompetent and appointed, and the talented people who stand out in the imperial examination will try to stay in Yizhou, and the important posts in Guanzhong counties will be promoted and transferred to officials who have already been promoted in Yizhou. ”
It may take several years for Guanzhong to recover its life, and the return of the people to Guanzhong is not overnight to restore Guanzhong's heyday, and the officials are promoted more at a time, which is not only a burden on expenditure management, but also blocks the road to the imperial examination in the future, in order to make rapid progress, this step of planning should be cautious.
The government affairs are heavy, Guo Jia also sent a letter to Chengdu, simply telling the family that he would stay in Chang'an for a while, and the date of returning to Yizhou is to be determined.
In the past month, Guo Jia has been handling political affairs in the mansion from morning to night, allowing him to relive the days when he first decided to Yizhou.
At the beginning of July, it was scorching.
There are three doorways on each side of Chang'an, and in the middle of the west is the straight city gate, and a mighty horse-drawn carriage team slowly enters the city.
In front of the convoy that had just entered the city, a team of people suddenly came, the convoy stopped, and three families came down from the first three or two carriages.
The city is depressed and quite quiet.
Guo Jiale stopped, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly to the convoy: "Why didn't you notify me in advance when you came from afar?" Let me come out in a hurry to greet me, the etiquette is not good. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia's eyes lit up.
The curtain of the carriage for the head of the carriage rolled up, and a woman with an outstanding demeanor walked out, stepped off the carriage under the handrail of the maid, and when she looked up, she saw Guo Jia, revealing a little twisted, it was Diao Chan.
Today, it is said that the sable cicada that captivates the country and the city is particularly brilliant, and it is said that the hairpin runs through the top of the hair, and the green silk falls naturally, but now it is carefully dressed up.
The black hair is tied up at the top, and the reverse twist is fancy, like a blooming peony, rich and colorful, which not only looks elegant and pleasing to the eye, but also adds a luxury to her.
The upper body is blue and white embroidered clothes, and the lower body is a colorful fairy dress, and the silk satin is really an art worn on her, which eclipses all things.
Originally, Diao Chan wore palace clothes in the palace, with a humble status, and was called and drunk in the palace with strict classes, and was a maid by Guo Jia's side, although she was not called by the command, but she was also a little maid with inferiority complex, in front of Guo Jia, this was the first time that she was so dazzling and extravagant.
Seeing Guo Jia, Diao Chan was instantly beaten back to her original form, and her dress made her a little uneasy, so she came to Guo Jia and explained helplessly.
"Slave, slave, maid, this is, Mrs. Cai asked the slave to dress up like this, not the slave maid's original intention."
Guo Jia advocated frugality, Diao Chan was afraid that Guo Jia would not like it, and even Cai Yan and Zhen Jiangping said that their clothes were very simple and simple.
Smiling slightly, Guo Jia, who came back to his senses, broke free from his beauty and said, "Mink Chan, you have opened my eyes today." ”
Taking a step forward, Guo Jia lowered his voice and continued: "I like your dress very much." ”
The soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself.
Mink Chan lowered his head and smiled sweetly, and the panic in his heart disappeared.
For her dress to come from Cai Yan's idea, Guo Jia understood it.
Mink Chan is a slave who doesn't seem to have much status in his house.
But she is a figure representing Guo Jia's participation in the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce outside.
"Fengxiao, this Chang'an City is so desolate, it's really difficult for you to stay here, isn't it boring?"
The person who came down from the second carriage was Zhen Yu, and when he entered the city, he saw the situation of Chang'an City, and he was embarrassed.
Anyway, it is also the western capital of the Han Dynasty, and the famous Yanjing is now so bleak and desolate.
Guo Jia walked towards him, Diao Chan followed behind Guo Jia, and resumed the image of a obedient little maid.
"Alas, I can't get out either, Guanzhong is initially decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, if you want to restore Chang'an to prosperity, I'm afraid I have to rely on my brother's help."
Guo Jia just came to Zhen Yu and said hello, and the person who came down from the third carriage also came over.
"The king has succeeded in a war, and he has been famous all over the counties of Yizhou, and everyone who hears it praises the majesty of the king, hehe, congratulations to the king."
The person who came was in his early thirties, polite and polite.
Guo Jia arched his hand at him and said with a smile: "The rumors are exaggerated, what credit do I have?" Just pick up a bargain. Hehe, I heard that Brother Zhang recently said that he was happy with his noble son, so I should congratulate you. ”
This person's name is Zhang Xu, his ancestors are also famous, and he has been a three-public official, but unfortunately his family is in the middle of the road, and he has not been able to continue his glory in his career, and now he is the representative of Qianwei County of Yizhou Chamber of Commerce.
Zhang Xulang smiled and gave Guo Jia a salute back, and said: "I have thanked the envoy below, and it is his honor for my family to be cared for by the envoy." ”
Guo Jia greeted him, and he didn't care about it, but he was suddenly surprised.
Wings? Zhang Yi?!
I couldn't help but ask in my mind: Could it be Zhang Yi, the general in the late Shu Kingdom?
It's really possible that in history, Zhang Yi was born in Qianwei County, Shuzhong.
The guide invited them to the mansion as guests, and Guo Jia talked and laughed with them all the way.
In recent years, with the peace of Yizhou, Guo Jia's rule did not rely on the suppression of the scholars by the scholars, coupled with the line of rule of law, there was no suppression of the power class, and the relationship between the Yizhou wealthy families eased, and some of the wealthy families were also blessed by misfortune, and the local family business of the wealthy family was thriving.
Qianwei County Zhang family is like this, as a representative of Qianwei County to join the Chamber of Commerce of the Zhang family, although the career can not reproduce the glory of the ancestors, but muffled wealth, life worry-free, and there is no former Shi clan suppression, as long as not to bully people, not deliberate misdeeds, the Zhang family is a landlord and rich man under the rule of Guo Jia, the handicraft workshop at home brings very generous benefits every year, and the Taiping is very moist and comfortable.
Although his ancestors had a past of being ranked as the third prince, people are all focused on the present and the future, and cannot always live in the glory of the past.
than the prosperous history of the family, maybe a casual ordinary person may be able to tell some staggering ancestral glorious history.
Just like the Zhuge family in Langya County, tracing back to their ancestors, but it is longer than the Han Dynasty, as early as the Shang Tang period, the ancestors of the Zhuge family were the monarchs of the Ge country! Even if it is an inconspicuous small country, it is a monarch.
Later, the Ge family lived in Zhucheng, and everyone liked to use the Ge family in Zhucheng to introduce themselves, and gradually, it became Zhuge .
No matter how brilliant the ancestors are, what can they do now?
The Zhuge family can only defect to Liu Biao now and rely on the warlord.
In this world, no one should compare their family background with anyone, maybe they are more downtrodden than others, but their family background is related.
