Chapter 580: Zhang Rail
Zhang Liang's health is much better, but he still feels tired easily, so he now hands over most of the things to his son Zhang Yu, and only some important things will be checked personally.
A subordinate officer came in, bowed down and said, "Envoy, Huang An and others have already brought all the military dependents, and there is also a letter from Luoyang." ”
The letter was written by Zhao Hanzhang himself, she not only received a letter from Zhang Liang, but also came back with a letter from Zhao Xin, who described in detail the situation in Xiliang, as well as what he saw and heard all the way from Luoyang and Chang'an to Xiliang.
It can be said that in comparison, the situation in Xiliang is much better, and Zhongzhou, especially the section from Luoyang to Yumen Pass, is full of refugees displaced by famine and war.
Even if Zhao Hanzhang repeatedly issued announcements to let the people return to Luo'an, there are still many refugees who would rather go into exile than come back.
In the past two years, Luoyang's life was too sad.
Zhao Xin traveled all the way west, only to see a pile of white bones, he personally watched some refugees fall down as they walked, and then there was no sound, and then the refugees who accompanied him would drag the corpses into the forest, and finally only a pair of white bones remained.
Zhao Hanzhang had never seen such a scene, but just listening to Zhao Xin's description, he shuddered, this fear is not for those refugees who eat human flesh, but for the difficulties of this world.
This is what Zhao Xin's eyes see, and where they don't see it, how many such things, or even more excessive, happen?
Outside the Guan, Zhang Liang had just pacified the civil strife, and last year, he defeated Zhang Zhen and killed Cao Di and others, and as soon as the civil strife was settled, he began to pacify the people.
Like Zhao Hanzhang, he first gathered the people who were separated by the war, then asked the officials to tell the story of loyalty and righteousness, so that the people could be converted, and finally pardoned the traitorous party who was not sentenced to death, and until now, the work of pacifying the people is still ongoing.
Zhao Xin is full of admiration for Zhang Rail, and when it comes to peace and peace, Zhang Rail is currently the second person who convinces Zhao Xin in addition to Zhao Hanzhang.
He said: "It's a pity that the two envoys couldn't meet above, otherwise the two would definitely become friends." ”
He believes that Zhang Liang and Zhao Hanzhang's initiatives are roughly the same, and the other party has achieved remarkable results, and the two can learn from each other.
Zhao Hanzhang can't see Zhang Liang, but it doesn't mean that she can't be friends with him.
After sending Beigong Chun and the others away, she began to ponder the reply to Zhang Liang.
After knowing the situation in Xiliang, Zhao Hanzhang wanted to cooperate with Zhang Liang even more.
Her current ability is limited, but she still hopes to save more people.
Zhang Liang opened the letter and looked at it slowly.
After a moment he sat up slightly straight, tears glistening in his eyes, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
He stood up, paced around the room for a moment, and then took out the letter and reread it again.
Although Zhang Liang has always supported the rule of the imperial court, he is not very confident in his heart.
He was so scared, afraid that one day he would wake up and find that the emperor had changed again, and he had changed his surname.
At that time, the world will definitely be in chaos, and at that moment, will Xiliang be opposed?
He had always been lonely, but at this moment, he felt that he had found a fellow traveler.
Zhang Liang didn't care about the late night, so he immediately recruited his cronies and said to them: "I decided to build a post station all the way from Dunhuang County to Chang'an, and send troops to garrison it to ensure the safety of the caravan from Zhongzhou." ”
Zhang Lang was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Why is the envoy so expensive all of a sudden?" ”
Zhang Track: "Zhao Hanzhang of Yuzhou, a good minister, I decided to open up the business route from Zhongzhou to Xiliang with her, and communicate with her." ”
"Didn't the envoy have promised Zhao before, but now Chang'an has its own business route to Xiliang, which is enough to use, and such a long business road is garrisoned by troops, which costs a lot of money."
Zhang Liang sighed and said: "The Central Plains is ruined, many people have left Zhongzhou, want to go to the west to cool down, I heard that Chang'an and Luoyang are famine, I can't see the people die of hunger and cold." ”
He said: "So I decided to divide a part from Wuwei to place Wuxing County, and then divide Xiping County into Jinxing County to collect the displaced people." ”
Zhang Lang and the others looked at each other, "This ...... If you want to put two counties to take in refugees, how many refugees does the lord have to take in? ”
Zhang Liang said with a serious face: "Do your best." ”
"But the grain ......"
"Zhao Jungong said that she would help me, as long as I wanted, she would send someone to send a batch of food, in addition to weapons, to strengthen our army, in case Xianbei invaded."
Zhang Lang looked suspicious, "Zhao Hanzhang is so good?" Is she willing to give us food for nothing? ”
This person stayed in Xiliang, but he was their person in Xiliang.
Zhang Liang sighed and said: "She is just like me, she wants peace in the world and peace for the people, where can she take care of those conflicts of interest?" ”
The cronies were silent, and they couldn't help but break their hearts, "The person who can make General Beigong willingly stay in Luoyang will indeed not be a treacherous sorrow." ”
Everyone acquiesced in Zhang Liang's decision.
Zhang Liang thought of Beigong Chun, and he was still a little heartbroken, he couldn't bring people back, and he was actually guilty about these Xiliang soldiers who went out.
So Huang An brought someone back to pick up the military dependents, and he agreed without thinking about it.
"Send someone to invite Zhao Envoy tomorrow, I want to see him in person."
"Yes."
Zhao Hanzhang felt that with Zhang Liang's character, he would definitely agree to her proposal to accept a large number of refugees from Zhongzhou.
So she started stealing her own money.
The more she calculated, the more distressed she became.
Fu Tinghan is more familiar with her assets than her, public and private, although he doesn't care about the accounts, he will occasionally help her calculate them, so as not to let people waste them.
In particular, for the first time, Gao Zhi brought back the gold, silver and jewelry that had been traded.
Seeing her wrinkled face and a distressed headache, she asked, "Do you regret sending Zhang Rail food?" ”
"It's not that I regret it, it's just pain," Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's heartache." ”
Fu Tinghan smiled and said, "You can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes now, how can you think of giving him food?" ”
"There is no way, although Xiliang holds the Hexi Corridor, it covers an extremely wide area, and their life is not easy," Zhao Hanzhang said: "If there is no foreign aid, Zhang Liang will not be able to collect much even if he wants to collect the displaced people." ”
"And Yumen Pass is guarded by the King of Nanyang, don't look at the emperor and courtiers who are always exaggerated, in fact, they are also very wary of him, Yumen Pass will never give Zhang Rail."
"Zhang Liang himself also knows that in order not to arouse the suspicion of Emperor Jin and the courtiers, he never does anything that transgresses the rules, otherwise with his military power and prestige, the Xiliang army led by Beigong Chun has arrived in Chang'an, wouldn't it be good for him to directly lead people to rush through Yumen Pass and take people away?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "There are few people in this world who can stop Beigong Chun and him. ”
"So it's not that I can't, but I don't dare," she said: "Zhongzhou is miserable now, but in fact, as long as we have money, we can buy grain from Shudi, Liangjiang and Jiangnan, but Xiliang is a pass through the Yumen Pass, so we can't get in or get out." ”
"There are so many homeless people, neither I nor Grandfather Fu can control it, and we can't let it go, letting them go to Xiliang is a way to live."
