Chapter 337: King Qi Reigns (3000)

Most of the people in the north, especially the people of Kanto, agree with a simple truth, that is: the king of Qi loves the people and should be the bull's ear.

In the midst of the people's thousands of calls, Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, at the request of the Son of Heaven, went out of the mountain again and shouldered the stormy Yuan Wei Dynasty on one shoulder.

The above content is translated from Zhang Shiqi's personal manuscript "Two or Three Things with the King of Qi"

When discussing the manuscript with his friends, Zhang Shiqi, the assassin of Guangzhou, once said that although it is debatable whether the Great Wei, which has just been reunited, should be called windy and rainy, it is debatable for the time being, but the king of Qi did not abandon the common people in the world, and it is already worthy of celebration by all people.

That's right, Great Wei can't do without King Qi, just like the West can't do without Jerusalem, and the 3D area can't lose Tifa.

During Gao Cheng's leisure, the eighteen-year-old pro-government Son of Heaven made a mess of the country, and the people were miserable, which made them miss the virtue of King Qi.

Sure enough, as soon as the king of Qi came out of the mountain, he immediately played the Son of Heaven, please exempt the people who moved to Longxi from the five-year tax, the people who moved to Guanzhong from the three-year tax, and the Hu people who moved to the state for five years, including the 10,000 Hu people who moved to Guanzhong and the 10,000 Hu people who moved to Longxi.

It is said that Gao Cheng even sold his property, and issued a settlement fee for Xianbei, the six towns that moved to Longxi, but this kind of words will be believed by the Xianbei people at the bottom, but anyone with a little status, all sneer, no matter how empty the treasury is, it will not be to the extent that Xiao Gao Wang is forced to sell his property, but the Qi Wangfu has indeed lived a lot more frugally recently.

Not only that, Gao Cheng also ordered to strengthen the supervision in the process of distributing acres and houses to the relocated people in various places, but anyone who is greedy for ink will be punished with death if he has stolen 30 horses, and if he has less than 30 horses, he will be punished accordingly according to the amount of bribes, and the circumstances will be the lightest, and he will also be dismissed from his post and investigated.

When the decree was issued, the people in various places rejoiced.

And the Hu people of all ethnic groups such as Xianbei in the six towns who moved to Henan shouted for the longevity of King Qi.

Han people who moved west to Longshan were exempt from rent for five years, which was changed from Gyeonggi Hukou to Longxi Hukou, and more compensation should be given.

However, the relocation of Xianbei from Jinyang to Henan is not a grievance, but it is still exempted from taxes for five years, which is enough to explain many problems.

Although King Qi Xianwu died, King Qi did not forget the villagers, even if he had been in Luoyang for many years, surrounded by Han scholars, but his heart was always towards our six townspeople.

In the final analysis, the six towns of Xianbei are still the basic plate of the Gao family, and it is appropriate to give favors to the Xianbei soldiers and be kind to them, even if one day, there is a general rebellion, with the friendship of Gao Huan and Gao Cheng who treat the villagers well, as long as Gao Cheng raises his arms and shouts, he does not dare to say that he will defect, at least he will not fight to the death for the rebel.

Gao Cheng, who was back in charge of the government, immediately began to transfer officials from all over the country while making profits for the people, and all the former Gao Huan's team in Jinyang was transferred to Luoyang.

Gao Cheng abolished the cavalry Cao and the foreign soldier Cao, and set up a new Central Military Administration and a Foreign Military Administration in Luoyang.

The Central Military Administration is still presided over by Gao Huan's former subordinates Zhao Qi, Xu Yuan, and Bai Jian, and is in charge of military drills and training, including the 110,000 Gyeonggi Army in Sizhou.

The 90,000 soldiers in the surrounding Liang, Shaanxi, and Guangzhou prefectures were also instructed by the Central Military Administration to the training generals Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi.

As for the Foreign Military Administration, it is responsible for matters related to the state and county soldiers, and is managed by the military department Shangshu Feng Zihua, Sizhou Mu Chen Yuankang, and Gao Huan's former official Tang Yong.

With the existence of the Xiangguo Mansion and the General's Mansion, Chen Yuankang, the Sizhou pastor, can't do much of his own work, and Gao Cheng asked him to sit in the position of the Sizhou pastor, which naturally does not mean to be idle, so the Foreign Military Department is where Chen Yuankang comes in.

Not only the central government, Gao Cheng did not let go of the adjustment of the place, first of all, Longxi stayed in Dou Tai and was transferred back to Luoyang.

Dou Tai is rigid by nature, often as a vanguard, more than enterprising, but used to garrison the enemy, it is really not reassuring, Wang Sizheng who temporarily guarded the Dasan Pass because of the defense of Yubi, twice repelled Yuwentai's merits, was appointed as the general of Longxi Town, followed by 10,000 Xianbei cavalry and 50,000 Sanhe Prefecture soldiers who were relocated to Longxi.

Even if he is Gao Cheng's father-in-law and holds such a prominent position, he still has to leave all his family rolls in Luoyang.

Gao Cheng has always been clear in this regard, such as Li Changyi, Li Zu'e and other fathers can lead the family to take up the post, because they have no military power in their hands, and now they have given Wang Sizheng 10,000 soldiers and 50,000 state and county soldiers, and he is fully responsible for the garrison of Longxi, so he can no longer make an exception because of his father-in-law's identity.

After all, Gao Cheng is no exception even to his uncle Lou Zhao.

Jizhou Assassin Lou Zhao was ordered to replace Pan Le to guard Chang'an, as the Yongzhou Assassin History, also led 10,000 soldiers, and 50,000 soldiers of Sanhezhou County, and the family scroll still stayed in Luoyang, of course, Gao Cheng's statement to his uncle was that he hoped to get closer to his cousins, and at the same time, let Lou Zhao set an example for the town guards everywhere.

Lou Zhao can't help this nephew, but it is indeed better to put his son in Luoyang than to go to Guanzhong with him, after all, Lou Zhao has no intention of plotting chaos, and it can make his sons deepen their relationship with Gao Cheng.

As for the post of Jizhou Assassin History, Gao Cheng handed it over to the original Yingzhou Assassin Yuan Xiaoyou.

Because of the history of the state assassination, one of Gao Cheng's fathers-in-law, Lu Daoqian, died of illness, the original Chang'an left Pan Le was appointed by Gao Cheng as the history of the state assassin, taking over Hu Lujin to guard Jinyang, although most of the Jinyang army and its family scrolls were moved to Henan, but the state in the Hedong region, still has a special significance, not to mention that the state still left 20,000 Xianbei soldiers brought by Hu Lujin, handed over to Pan Le to lead.

As for Hu Lujin, he still served as the governor of Heng, Shuo, Yan, Yun, Xian, and Wei, sitting in northern Xinjiang, and was also responsible for watching the Shu soldiers who were sent to the border of reclamation.

In fact, in fact, since the turmoil in northern Xinjiang and the burning of the six towns in Rouran, the northern Xinjiang has been abandoned for many years, after all, even the six towns of Xianbei have all moved south, and the population of the six states together may not be as good as that of Henan.

However, there are still a lot of Hu people in northern Xinjiang, and the territory is vast, so there is only Hu Lujin who can be trusted by Gao Huan and can be completely trusted here.

Gao Cheng has previously made regional plans for Henan, Hebei and other regions, and now Hedong, Guanlong and other places will not let go.

First of all, Hedong, Gao Cheng changed Hedong to the five states of Merger, Fen, Jin, and Jian, and the history of the state thorn is Pan Le, and the history of the Jianzhou thorn closest to Luoyang is served by the original Nanfen thorn history Wei Jing, which is also to take care of it nearby, so as not to germinate the old state of Wei Jing.

The rest of the three prefectures of Yan, Fen, and Jin were all selected by civil officials in the original history of Hedong.

The position of Yingzhou Assassin was held by Zhang Dexing, who was discovered by Gao Cheng.

In the newly conquered Guanlong region, Gao Cheng set up Yong, Xia, Ling, Hua, Qi, Jing, Wei, Qin, and Liang Kyushu in Guanzhong.

Lou Zhao is the assassin of Yongzhou and governs Chang'an.

Wang Sizheng is the history of Qinzhou and the place of Longxi.

The remaining seven states were all retained by the former Western Wei officials who had sent them to surrender, because the state and county soldiers in their hands had already been mobilized by Yuwentai, and they were captured and taken to Luoyang after the first battle of Weishui.

Gao Cheng took advantage of the situation to implement the separation of military and government in the Guanlong area, and the army was handed over to Lou Zhao and Wang Sizheng respectively, that is, they each commanded 10,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers from prefectures and counties.

In this way, the northern division was deleted by Gaocheng, and there were 11 prefectures in Henan: Si, Yan, Qing, Henan, Xu, Jing, Ji, Liang, Guangzhou, Jiao, and Shaanxi;

Hebei region: Xiang, Ding, Cang, You, Liao, Ying, Hebei seven prefectures;

Hedong region: five prefectures: annexation, Fen, Jin, and Jian;

Guanlong area: Yong, Xia, Ling, Hua, Qi, Jing, Wei, Qin, Liang Kyushu

Coupled with the six states in northern Xinjiang, a total of 38 states, Gao Cheng's division and merger this time is not insignificant.

When He Bayue ruled Guanxi, he was appointed as the governor of the military of the 20 states in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong alone was subdivided into 20 states, not to mention that there were more than 80 states in Kanto at that time.

The significance of this is naturally to eliminate redundant officials and save financial expenditures, and at the same time, although the detailed and chaotic zoning is conducive to weakening the localities, it is not conducive to Gao Cheng's overall governance.

Of course, what is more important is that after the merger of the states, through the appointment and dismissal of officials, local control can be realized.

Even if there is no post of assassin, Gao Cheng will recall them to Luoyang, arrange positions for them in the three provinces and six ministries, or give them prominent titles.

Although the interests of the redundant officials who were dismissed at the lower levels were damaged, they could only scold a few words in their stomachs, because Gao Cheng issued another decree to make an exception to allow the officials who lost their positions to participate in the scientific examination, at least one way out, so they turned to prepare for the imperial examination.

The reason why it is said to be an exception is because during the first imperial examination, Gao Cheng issued instructions not to allow officials to resign in the future.

The first imperial examination cycle began in March of the seventh year of Taichang (538) and ended in March of the eighth year of Taichang (539).

Now that the three-year period has arrived, the second imperial examination cycle will be held in March of the tenth year of Taichang (541).

Although it is only a little more than a month away from the county examination, considering the difficulty of the county examination, if they really focus on government affairs on weekdays, they can still easily pass with their familiarity with official affairs.

This time, Yuan Shanjian was not allowed to come forward to take the blame, because the persecution targets are different, and the people at the bottom may be coaxed, but the officials are sharp-eyed, after all, the division and merger of Henan and Hebei are led by Gao Cheng, and people cannot be treated as fools.

Although many candidates are dissatisfied with Gao Cheng's practice of making an exception to allow the dismissed officials, it is difficult to change, after all, the decree has been issued, and today's candidates are not as bullish as in the Song and Ming dynasties.

On February 18, Gao Huan's mausoleum was completed, due to the existence of exemption money, Gao Cheng recruited people to pay wages, after sending Gao Longzhi to investigate, after confirming that there was no difference, even if the treasury could starve to death rats, Gao Cheng still paid the people's wages in full according to his original regulations.

On February 20, it is advisable to sacrifice, bury, bury, and move.

Gao Cheng, the king of Qi, and his family were buried in Pishan, and the son of heaven Yuan Shan was sent out of the city when he saw his relatives.
