63. Plug up the scenery

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"Entering the territory of Dunhuang is like coming to another world, which really makes people feel a sense of sudden enlightenment."

"The words of the state pastor can be regarded as being on the heart of the next, and if you say something that is not self-humble, every time you see the scenery here, the herdsmen here, the livestock and fertile land here, you will sincerely feel that you have not done nothing for so many years."

"Zhang Juncheng is still modest in this statement, he is modest, so not inferior to the prosperity and stability of the Central Plains, how can the words 'do nothing' summarize the hard work of Ma Taishou and Zhang Juncheng and everyone in Dunhuang County."

"Hahahaha......" All the guests and hosts were smiling for a while, and everyone's mood seemed to become cheerful because of the beautiful scenery in front of them, especially the hosts here, who were a little more proud and majestic in their laughter.

That's right, the current Li Shushi and his entourage are about to arrive in Dunhuang County, the seat of Dunhuang County.

Even Li Shushi himself didn't expect his trip to Jiuquan to be so smooth - as the strongest Haoqiang Huang in Jiuquan, it seems that he didn't expect Li Shushi's troops to come so quickly, and the ambition-driven Koji Yan was even more anxious than Zhao Yun, not only did not drag the whole team back, but inspired the competitiveness of the whole army.

What they also didn't expect was that their personnel would be so poor - the history of the Huang family itself is not very glorious, in the past when Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty Huang Jun was a favored minister, when Shang Shuling and Deng Wanshi of Henan Yin were both favored ministers of Emperor Huan, Emperor Huan made these two people marquis with a little credit to Deng Wanshi's father and the reason why Huang Jun's ancestor had a marquis. This kind of thing was really nothing, but who would have wanted to be caught and attacked by the famous minister Chen Fan, so these two can be regarded as "famous in history", but obviously it will not be a good reputation. Later, this Huang Jun was even more because he failed to comply with his task in the Yellow Turban Rebellion for various reasons, and missed the deadline of the order of his superiors.

Of course, to be able to let Gai Xun, an upright guy, come forward to intercede, and Huang Jun is also unspeakable, but it can also be seen from these things that this guy's ability is really limited.

If Huang Jun made the Huang family's reputation among scholars bad, then the other person made the Huang family completely a street rat. This person is another figure of the Huang family who can handle it - so Jiuquan guards Huang Yan.

If the influence of the previous Huang Jun was more spread among the scholar class and a little far away from the common people, then this Huang Yanke was the biggest promoter of the Huang family's notoriety.

Not long after the former Jiuquan Taishou took office, he moved his family from Youfufeng to the remote Jiuquan and settled here, although it is not clear why he did this, but it is precisely because of him that the Jiuquan Huang clan quickly settled down in Jiuquan.

This kind of behavior will naturally cause dissatisfaction with the local heroes, but Huang Yan has no choice but to use various means to co-opt many children of military families in Yumen County as minions, but also use the imperial court's policy of cracking down on and suppressing the local heroes to divide and disintegrate those families who oppose him and suppress or even eliminate them one by one, and the darkness of the process must have given birth to far more than one Zhao orphan.

Originally, this was just it, but who would have thought that after the Qiang Rebellion in the Northwest, Huang Yan, who had already become a leader, actively attached himself to Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others, and used the power of the Qiang people to once again wreak havoc on those families who were still not very friendly to the Huang family. After the matter was completed, the head of the family, Huang Ke, led the troops to drive out the Qiang people and return to the imperial court, and the double reed completely stabilized the position of the Huang family in Jiuquan.

Of course, the Huang clan did not expect that one day there would be troops like thunder to completely eradicate it, perhaps in their opinion, they have a lot of money, even if the whole county of Jiuquan and even the strong troops of the surrounding two counties to besiege can recruit enough troops with good relations with the Qiang people, anyway, the Huang clan's dock fort is still strong enough, even far better than the walls of Lufu City.

Outcome...... The private soldiers of the Koji family, whose combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the Qiang people, let the private soldiers of the Huang family understand the real "Qiang Fight" very well.

As for the Jiuquan Taishou Xu Yi, in the face of Li Shushi, who holds the emperor's order, and the goal is to get rid of the thief Huang Ke and his family, naturally there is no discouragement. After receiving the guarantee that the koji performance entering Jiuquan would not violate the law, he devoted himself to the future construction of Jiuquan. Finally, there is no need to worry about the constraints of Haoqiang, Xu Yi, who can do a big job, naturally will not fill in any mess for Li Shushi's goal.

After all, although the little emperor of Chang'an is just a puppet in the eyes of many people, in the eyes of more people, it still represents righteousness, orthodoxy, and even exaggerated, it represents the formation of their education since childhood...... Faith.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It is worthy of being a fruit of the Northwest, it is sweet......"

It's harvest time, and the eyes are full of golden wheat and the happy smiling faces of the farmers, and even the herdsmen are happy, because their livestock looks fat and strong, and it's a good year.

Historically, the location of Jiayuguan entered the area covered by the Shule River system, including Yumen County in Jiuquan County and the entire territory of Dunhuang County. The main stream of the Shule River, which was called the second largest river in Hexi at this time, not only irrigated the land of Dunhuang and Jiuquan counties, but also could be regarded as the boundary river of the two counties.

It's just that compared with the slightly barren and depressed Jiuquan County, Dunhuang is too rich and prosperous.

Walking on the official road, you can often see some aliens with obvious costumes different from the Han people, they either bring horse teams, or carry extremely rare camels in the Central Plains, carrying rare goods to and from the Western Regions and Dunhuang County to and from various human settlements, most of them have a look of expectation on their faces, but there are also a small number of people with a depressed expression.

It is inevitable that because there is more profit, the business risk is usually greater.

However, the fact that so many merchants can be seen on the official roads in this vast and sparsely populated area is enough to show the vigorous vitality of this place. I have to admit that among the four counties in Hexi, Dunhuang, which is the farthest away from the Central Plains, seems to be the most prosperous.

Therefore, Li Shushi's words of praise to Zhang Tai were by no means perfunctory flattery, but admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Naturally, with such a solid foundation, Zhang Tai's pride is naturally not an untargeted exaggeration.

According to Jia Xu's original plan, Li Shushi planned to stay in Dunhuang for three to four days, first, to make some necessary material reserves, second, to collect intelligence, and most importantly, to find a few guides in Dunhuang who were more familiar with the Western Regions.

Yes, even Jia Xu is a pedantic celestial, and he is powerless to do anything about this kind of place that he has never been to, as for Luo He, who is said to have been to the Western Regions...... Can you expect a guy who is willing to walk without turning a corner to go to heaven and earth can point out a feasible route to a group of ordinary people? You know, even the wolves under her command are far more mobile than humans.

What? You ask Su Xiaololi? If you're not afraid of being blown away by the arrogant Lori's fist, you can say hello yourself.,Anyway, Li Shushi is grateful for not being sensitive.,Besides, people Lori looked interested, are you embarrassed to let people not come to the stage?

Well, yes, I can't get off the stage. Since that wrong reminder, Su Xiaololi has recently added a new mantra:

"I don't know everything, I only know what I know."

Pity...... If Su Xiao Lori can also conjure a pair of animal ears and a beast tail, it will be even more cute, whether it is a cat or a fox, or a wolf, anyway, as long as Su Xiao Lori's transformation must be cute and full of cuteness.

However, Zhang Tai's unexpected appearance changed Li Shushi and Jia Xu's plans.

Or, in Jia Xu's words, it is: "My lord, your luck is good, and it is an unexpected surprise." ”

It's no wonder, after all, although Zhang Tai has now handed over many things to his two good sons Zhang Gong and Zhang Hua, but don't forget that he is still the county prince in charge of local civil affairs under the Taishou of Dunhuang County, which means that Zhang Tai should still be working in Dunhuang City instead of running to Ming'an to greet his group.

Of course, Li Shushi knew that it must not be a letter from Deng Cheng or how famous Li Shushi's reputation was, especially when this matter involved Jia Xu's old fox, as for what the surprise Jia Xu did not elaborate, anyway, Li Shushi knew that the eyes of this old fox must be staring at Zhang Tai, a figure with a high status in Dunhuang, and it would be too inconsistent with Jia Xu's demeanor if he did not squeeze all the value he had.

To be honest, even if Jia Xu didn't take any action, Li Shushi himself had some ideas.

Although the whole county of Dunhuang is surrounded by the Shule River water system, but after all, it is still dependent on the desert, not only the precipitation is not high, but also the wind and sand are also very large, so the soil is far from being able to compare with the alluvial plains of the two rivers, and the loess basins of the state are also particularly inferior, if the national average level is evaluated, the fertility of the land can only be regarded as the middle or even the middle and lower Cheng dΓΉ.

But even in such a difficult environment, Li Shushi basically didn't see hungry people along the way, and although the amount of goods circulating in circulation was not as good as that of Gyeonggi in peacetime, it was far better than when Li Shushi first arrived in Xihe, and even some unique commodities had never been seen even in the capital of Luoyang.

It is necessary to know that this place is located in the border fortress, since the imperial court has withdrawn from the Western Regions, the position here has become more and more embarrassing, and the imperial court has discussed more than once the plan to abandon the land of Hexi, such as Wuwei, which is close to Sanfu, is better, and Dunhuang, which is so far away, is basically unable to obtain material transportation from the Central Plains.

In fact, Li Shushi originally thought that the living conditions of Dunhuang were just like what Zhangye and Jiuquan saw along the way, even if the local Taishou was a capable official, it would not be worse at most, after all, Dunhuang could be regarded as the westernmost point of the Han Empire.

But facts speak louder than words, so the only explanation is - Ma Ai, who is a taishou, and Zhang Tai, who is quite famous as a county minister, have a fairly high ability to manage internal affairs, although they cannot be paid attention to by the history books because of their location on the border, but their ability is definitely not worse than those in the history books.

How could Li Shushi, such a talent, be willing to miss it?

ps: Today is the day of the sacrifice of Comrade Liu Zhidan, one of the founders of the Northern Shaanxi Revolutionary Base Area, this is a good comrade, as for the superfluous things, we will not talk about the superfluous things, because there seem to be too many things involved......

ps2: Today I still thought that the excellent female police officer Ren Changxia died in the line of duty, I remember organizing to watch a documentary about her deeds when I was in college, and the sobs in the whole classroom kept sounding.

PS3: Today is the third anniversary of the Yushu earthquake, may the deceased rest in peace, and may the living continue to improve themselves.
