South Korea, Liangzhou Thorn History Department, Tianshui County, Yongcheng.

As early as when Tianshui County was established, there was a constant debate about whether to take Xianyang or Yongcheng as the county, and even the location of the Liangzhou Thorn History Department was also being discussed.

The reason is very simple, Guanzhong, as a newly acquired land, the most important thing for South Korea is to quickly win over the people. Moreover, unlike Dongjun and Dangjun, it is extremely urgent to subdue the hearts of the people in Guanzhong.

After all, the Wei State has already perished, and even if the people of Wei have their hearts set on their homeland, they have no way to place their hopes on it. Liangzhou is different, especially Longxi and Tianshui under the rule, which have been Qin soil for hundreds of years, and still have the influence of Qin. If the Qin State is destroyed, South Korea can still subdue the people's hearts in an orderly manner, but now that the Qin State is still there, and it is on the east bank of Jingshui, how to eliminate the influence of the Qin State and reduce the people's sympathy for the Qin State has become the top priority.

It is based on this consideration that many Korean ministers believe that the location of the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, which is also the county seat of Tianshui County, should be located in Xianyang or Yongcheng.

The former is close to the border, and it is the former capital of the Qin State, where the army is gathered, which can deter Xiaoxiao. The latter is the former capital of Qin, where the place of sacrifice is located, although Qin has been allowed by South Korea, has moved the mausoleum, destroyed the palace, but in the hearts of the people of Guanzhong, Yongcheng is the root of Qin. Taking Yongcheng as the governing land of Liangzhou and Tianshui County can calm the people's hearts faster.

Regarding whether to choose Xianyang or Yongcheng as the county rule, the ministers of the court were divided into two factions, and the ministers of the two factions did not give in to each other and quarreled.

In the end, it was King Han who made a decision, and on the grounds that Yongcheng was in the center and could radiate around, Yongcheng was selected as the land of Liangzhou and Tianshui County. As for Xianyang, which was unsuccessful, it was built as a military town by the Han king.

It's a cold winter now. The weather in Guanzhong seems to be colder than outside Guanzhong, and in the past, the people who did not serve have long been at home, resting well, ready to survive this cold winter with a warm fire!

But this year is different. The six-month-long war affected the harvest in Guanzhong, and no matter how rich the land was, it needed someone to cultivate it in order to harvest the grain. Moreover, in the past eight years, the chariot of the Qin State has basically not stopped, and the population of Guanzhong, which was originally densely populated, has dropped by almost a quarter, such as this year, in order to prepare for war, the Qin State implemented heavy taxes. and drain the people's summer grain.

If the Qin State won a big victory, it would be fine, with foreign supplies, Guanzhong would definitely not reach the point of lack of food. But the Qin State failed, losing 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass, which directly led to this year's cold winter being the most difficult winter in the history of Guanzhong. Many people had to cut back on food and clothing, sell their few possessions, and try their best to survive this cold winter.

Such a result directly leads to the depreciation of prices. Things that were originally worth three Qin and a half taels could only be sold for one Qin and a half taels, even so. The people, who really had no food at home, still rushed to the city, for fear that it would be too late and the things in their hands would be even less valuable!

Even if there is food in the family, they still live on the food. It is better to say that the old and weak, women and children, after all, either they eat less or can starve. The most bitter is the half-size child of the fourteenth five-year plan. As the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the old man. It is the age of the long body, and it is good not to drink the thin gruel with only clear water, but after drinking it, I feel even more hungry. These naughtiest children can only stay at home as much as possible. Save the body with reduced activity.

The local wealthy families who did not lack food and clothing knew that the sky above their heads had changed, and in line with the principle of not causing trouble, they all ordered their children to stay in the mansion. In such a situation, the originally prosperous Yongcheng also seemed to be very depressed. Even if there are pedestrians, most of them are ordinary people who are in a hurry and pawn things.

Compared with the people of Yongcheng who are yellow and thin, the Han soldiers who defend the city undoubtedly look ruddy and live a very moist life. They stood straight at the gate of the city, on the city wall, carefully watching into the distance, guarding the distance, as if the tall and stable Yongcheng might be attacked by thugs at any time!

It was under such circumstances that the two young men swaggered to Yongcheng after the heavy snowfall on donkeys. A young man in front of him, wearing a long sword and a beautiful jade belt around his waist, had obviously already performed the ceremony. The young man in the back looks even younger, but he has a resolute face, and he already has the demeanor of an adult. If you are a careful person, you can also judge from the donkey they sat down and the clothes they wore that they came from a long journey, and they were able to ride a donkey in the cold winter months, and from their family background, they had surpassed most families of this era.

The arrival of the young man obviously attracted the attention of the Han army guarding the gate, and although both of them were kind-looking and polite children of the family, strict military discipline still interrogated them about their origins and checked their path guide before letting them go. What is even more commendable is that the defenders did not see that they were not locals and took advantage of the situation to bully others and demand tolls.

Entering the city gate, the young youth joked to the older youth: "Senior brother, you lost this bet again!" ”

The older young man obviously regretted a little, why did he have to make such a bet with his junior brother, knowing that King Han was a good soldier, but he also strictly required the soldiers, asking for bribes is a big crime in the army, Yongcheng as a newly occupied land, it should be difficult for the defenders to ask for bribes. Under the rule of Xinzheng, no one dared to do such a thing, which does not mean that the problem of the defenders making things difficult for the local people will not occur in Guanzhong, which is thousands of miles away. The fact slapped the older young man in the face, at least under the rule of Liangzhou Assassin Shi Wei Zhe, there was no such thing happening in more than a dozen cities of various sizes that the two passed along the way! This has to be admired by the older youth, and Wei Zhe can also be called a good way to govern the people.

"Wei Tingshi has some means, and in just two months, he has made the people of Liangzhou perform their duties. It's just that in the eyes of my brother, there are some less means! The older youth was not convinced.

The young man smiled slightly, and said tentatively: "Senior brother is talking about the hunger and poverty of the people of Liangzhou?" ”

"Yes! There is a big drought in Guanzhong this year, and after a long and hard battle, the grain stocks in ordinary people's homes are about to run out! Even if you can survive this cold winter, there is not enough food for spring ploughing! If Wei Tingshi didn't hurry up and order the opening of a warehouse for disaster relief and win over the people's hearts, wouldn't it damage the benevolence and righteousness of the king?! The elder said with some righteous indignation, obviously, he had a childhood experience of hunger, so he was very sympathetic to the current tragic situation in Guanzhong!

The young man nodded, and said unconfidently: "Maybe there is something unspeakable about the history of Wei Thorn, such as the lack of grain and grass, or the king's intention to delay?" ”

The elder snorted coldly and said, "Yes or no, we'll know when we see Wei Tingshi!" ”

The young man smiled dumbly, and said after a long time: "Senior brother, the master sent us to assist Wei Tingshi, he is the master of this place, we are just guests, we can't take the lead, otherwise, the image of the master will be ruined, and we will be to blame as disciples!" ”

"Senior brother knows! It's just angry talk. Later, I will meet Wei Thorn Shi, and there should still be a number of courtesies! However, if Wei Tingshi deliberately refuses to release grain for disaster relief, the junior brother will also follow me to advise Wei Tingshi! ”

"Senior brother knows!"

After a while, the two of them came to the Assassin's Mansion, called the staff in charge through the side door, and handed over their own prayer slips and a delicate waist card. Maybe it was the waist card that worked, or maybe it was Wei Zhe, the new Liangzhou assassin, who suddenly became interested, in short, the two were quickly summoned. Although he did not open the main door to greet them, he sent a henchman housekeeper to personally lead the two to the study, which can also show that Wei Zhe attaches great importance to the two.

Looking at Wei Zhe, who was already smiling and waiting for him in the study, the two young men took a few steps quickly, bowed their heads and said, "Student Li Si (Han Xin) has seen Master Thorn Shi!" ”

Li Si and Han Xin studied under the Yuzhou Thorn Shi Xun Condition, and Xun Guo and Liangzhou Thorn Shi Wei Zhe have the same friendship, therefore, Wei Zhe can be regarded as Li Si and Han Xin's uncle, and a student deserves it! Yuzhou under the jurisdiction of the East County, Dang County, because there is Xuzhou in the south, Qingzhou in the east, and Sili in the west, everything has been on the right track, in order to exercise Li Si and Han Xin, Xun sent a letter to Wei Zhe, and arranged it to work under Wei Zhe, and this matter was also agreed by King Han, therefore, in public and private, Wei Zhe is looking forward to two young talents who are deeply respected by King Han and Wei Zhe! That's just waiting for two people in the study!

However, whether the two of them are really that powerful, with Wang Zuozhicai, they still need to think about it! After all, Wei Zhe is not willing to use two mediocre talents with high hands and low hands! (To be continued......)
