The sixth year of Zhongping [189] is not destined to be an ordinary year. In this year, a series of major events will occur one after another, completely opening the prelude to the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the traverser knows these things. However, he still does his own thing step by step. No matter how turbulent the Han court will be, it is not something he can influence at the moment.

For insolence, the wisest thing to do is one word:

Wait.

When the right opportunity arises, arrogance will naturally erupt in order to grab the maximum benefit.

After the New Year, it is the beginning of a busy year.

Regarding the events that happened in Jizhou and Taihang Mountain, Zhang Qi had no energy to pay attention to it at the moment.

Spring ploughing season is just around the corner. If there is a delay at this time, then the more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians under the rule of arrogance will inevitably go hungry by the end of this year. And the series of victories won by the Taimarching army in the bloody battle last year will also become meaningless.

As a traveler who has lived in the city since he was a child, Zhang Qiang's lack of agricultural knowledge makes him secretly embarrassed. Fortunately, by his side, there was Cheng Yu, a teacher who was close to omnipotent, to help him deal with all kinds of miscellaneous things. Otherwise, just with his own ability, he would not be able to arrange the spring plowing matters in the territory at all.

Since everything has been arranged by Cheng Yu in an orderly manner, what Zhang Qiang has to do is to take the lead and set an example to encourage everyone's enthusiasm for land reclamation.

For this reason, Zhang Qi had to work in the fields himself at the request of Cheng Yu. So, from the end of January to the middle of February, he worked on the farm for more than 20 days in a row.

With the hand that is accustomed to holding a sword, to help the plough and lead the ox, it really makes Zhang Qi very unaccustomed. OK. Since his crossing, his physical coordination has improved greatly. However, after studying for a few days, the arrogant farm work was done in a good way.

Although in private, Zhang Qiang complained a little in front of his wife Zhao Yu. But I saw that I was driven by myself. Large tracts of fertile land have been reclaimed by thousands of displaced people, and there is still a sense of accomplishment in my arrogant heart.

The amount of land under the rule of insolence is extremely large. These places originally belonged to the Han family's tuntian, and until more than ten years ago, there were still many Han people working hard here. In many places, the dikes and irrigation channels are still largely intact, with only minor repairs. will be able to resume use.

As long as the barbarians in the north can be expelled and the safety of this place can be guaranteed, according to the estimation of the farmer master Master Chen, the mature fields distributed on both sides of the Yellow River alone are enough to feed 500,000 people. If all the wasteland that has been abandoned for a long time is reclaimed, it can accommodate at least 1.3 million people.

1.3 million people, this number, has exceeded the time when the Jin Dynasty unified the world. The total population of Shu Han. Zhang Mad remembers that he said from the information he had read on the Internet. When Shu Han surrendered to the Sima clan, the total population was only about one million.

Of course, there are many difficulties in developing these fertile soils. For example, the displaced people recruited from all over the country through the forces of the White Wave Valley have almost nothing. I want to get them back to productive capacity. They needed to be provided with food for the first year's life, as well as the necessary farm tools and cattle.

With such a huge expense, if it were not for the financial support that Zhang Jiao left to Zhang Qi back then, it would be difficult for Zhang Qi to achieve the goal he set.

Fortunately, the Tai marching army won several battles in succession, from the nomadic barbarians. Tens of thousands of cattle and horses have been recaptured, the problem of agricultural livestock has been solved, and the efficiency of the displaced people has been greatly improved. The local wealthy families engaged in the iron-smelting industry in Jinyang and Hedong also smuggled a large number of iron farm tools to Meiji County in the face of the high price of the Taixing army.

When time passed in March of the sixth year of Zhongping, the exhausted insolence got out of the reclamation frenzy in the territory and began to deal with some things in the outside world.

"Protecting the Huns? What kind of official position is this? ”

Zhang Mad took the letter of appointment issued by the Han court, and asked the former "Hun Zhonglang General" Bo Guo Yi a little strangely.

Guo Yi has lost the official position of the Han family and belongs to the so-called "white body" class. However, as an old official who has been in the United States for many years, Guo Yi still guessed the reason for this appointment to the imperial court.

"Congratulations to Gong Zhang, Gong Zhang is now the Sima of Qianshi, and he is officially in charge of the attack of the entire Huns!"

Guo Yi explained to Zhang Qiang with great envy.

It turned out that the Han court, in view of the homeland of the Southern Xiongnu, had completely fallen into the hands of arrogance, and did not intend to appoint an empty "general to protect the Huns" to stimulate arrogance. However, a few years ago, Zhang arrogantly went to the court and asked to be appointed as the "general of the Huns", but it aroused huge opposition in the court.

No courtier wants to see a remnant of the Yellow Turban, and in just a few years, he has risen from a thief to a member of the dignified court with a rank compared to two dry stones. This is not in line with the century-old political tradition of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that the so-called situation is stronger than people. The imperial court is beyond the reach of Zhang Qiang's whip, and the record reported by Zhang Qiang is also real. The Han family has always had a tradition of attaching importance to military merits, and even from the time of Gaozu Liu Bang, he put forward the view that "non-military merits cannot be crowned marquis". If they don't say a word about the credit of arrogance, the courtiers are also afraid that the warriors of the world will be dissatisfied because of this.

The imperial court can find out the problems of the arrogant past today and veto the merits of the arrogant, wouldn't it be able to find out the problems of others tomorrow and veto the merits that others have exchanged for their lives?

In view of this, the warriors were certainly not satisfied with the imperial court's indifference to the insolent exploits. Even the martial artists are full of contempt for the "remnants of the yellow turban" who are arrogant.

Although the status of the warriors in the imperial court is not too high, at many important moments, scholars and high-ranking officials still need to win the hearts of the warriors. The opinions of the warriors made it impossible for the imperial court to ignore. But the arrogant identity is another phenomenon that must be despised.

When the ministers of the DPRK and China were struggling with this, news came from Jizhou, saying that the Jizhou Prefecture Division and the Taixing Army were partial divisions, and they almost fought with real knives and guns in Fangxian County. This news made the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government have an idea and are overjoyed.

As a result, the Han court took the credit of the Taixing army to recover Meiji on the grounds that Zhang was not strict in governing the army. It's just that the Etheric march repelled the feats of Danhan Mountain, and appointed Zhang Mad as the "Sima of the Huns" under the "Hun Zhonglang General".

Don't look at the "Hun Protector Sima" is just an adjutant with a thousand stone ranks, in the case of the vacancy of the "Hun Protector Zhonglang General". The military and civilian affairs along the border areas of the state are not decided by the "Hun Sima"?

Therefore, Guo Yi will congratulate Zhang Zheng. And he also entrusted the blessing of recovering Meiji with arrogance, was pardoned from his crimes, and re-became the "Hun Zhonglang General" under the account, with a rank of 400 stones.

But. The last line of text under the edict made Guo Yi, who was excited, quickly become unable to cry or laugh. This line of text, which was added later, means that Zhang Qiang should pay off the 10 million money he needed to pay to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible. If it is not paid, the Son of Heaven will deduct this money from the arrogant money one after another.

Seeing this line of text, the only reaction in Zhang Qiang's heart. It is:

- Wonderful! It's so weird!

- This is the real death for money!

If the memory left by Zhang Qi when he played the Three Kingdoms games of the past dynasties is correct, the life of the current Son of Heaven has entered a countdown state. However, in such a state of bedriddenness, the Son of Heaven did not forget to collect the promotion fee!

Liu Hong, the son of heaven who wants money to die, is really about to die this time.

Since February of this year, the Son of Heaven has been pampered after a pampering of Gong'e. Fainting begins, and then the body becomes weak. Started to be sick in bed.

Of course, Liu Hong didn't want to die.

He lost his father when he was a child, and although he was a member of the Han family, he did not enjoy any blessings.

When the young man entered the palace and ascended the throne, Liu Hong realized that there was such a huge wealth in the world. Waiting for him to enjoy.

However, a little older, a series of brutal palace coups taught Liu Hong: it turns out that this is the most important thing in the world. It's not money, it's authority!

Since then, Liu Hong, who has gradually entered the youth, began a life in which he wanted to monopolize power.

Relatives, killed by eunuchs, don't worry. Eunuchs, a group of crippled people, clinging to the imperial power, don't worry. Looking around the court, the young Liu Hong found that there was only one group of people left who prevented him from gaining absolute power.

A large group of people.

This group of people has a common name, called the Shi clan.

A single warrior is not strong. Even the Runan Yuan clan and the Hongnong Yang clan, who are famous for the "Four Worlds and Three Princes", if Liu Hong really wants to, they can clean them up, but they need to pay a certain price.

However, if the strength of all the Shi clans was accumulated, Liu Hong was shocked to find that that kind of power was definitely not something that he or even the entire Liu royal family could fight against!

Moreover, what is even more difficult for Liu Hong to accept is that even the Han court itself is inseparable from the participation of the scholars. If the position of the scholars in the court is removed, then the entire court will lack enough talents, and thus become crumbling until it can no longer be sustained.

Fortunately, the scholars themselves are not a whole. On the contrary, there was often hostility among the nobles who were divided among themselves.

Therefore, when the eunuchs jumped out and attacked some of the radical scholars, most of the officials of the court sergeant clan remained silent.

However, the occurrence of the "disaster of the party" did not make the imperial court more balanced. In fact, after the radical scholars were purged from the court, the conservative scholars quickly expanded their influence. Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, was depressed to find that several originally intertwined scholar family names, such as the Runan Yuan clan and the Hongnong Yang clan, were now more and more powerful.

In response to the strengthening and expansion of the scholar clan, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, began to vigorously promote the young scholars in the court, hoping that these energetic new blood of the court could stir up the court and bring some new changes to the intertwined court. It's a pity that this trick has almost no impact on the scholars.

The clansmen's mutual crushing was still the same, and the power of several gate lords continued to grow. However, the scholars who were promoted often regarded eunuchs as targets, which made the Son of Heaven cry and laugh in his heart.

Since the crackdown on division will only make the remaining scholars stronger, Liu Hong, as the Son of Heaven, began to try to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle for the scholars.

This attempt gave rise to an institution called "Hongdu Gate Studies". (To be continued......)
