Sweep the World

In history, quite a few cities were named Ladies City. Among them, the Ladies City outside the Great Wall has the most special significance, while the rest of the Ladies City are relatively unknown. The exquisite and customary naming of Zhu Xia, the reason why they are named Lady City is that there must be a memorable woman.

This lady city in Changshan County was established during the Warring States Period. It was a military village set up by a general of Zhao to commemorate his mother, but it slowly became a settlement for the common people. At first, it was not called a lady. In the city, the people yelled and yelled from behind, and the name was continued.

As the end point of the race from Yanmen County to Changshan County, it is not the important military strategic position of Lady City. In fact, it is located on the edge of the shui shui, which is connected to other rivers, and the river is widely used as water transportation. In the Han country, what is important is that the Lady City has a complete wharf, which can be better used as a storage location for transshipment materials.

　　Like many cities, Ladies City does not actually have many people now. Seven or eight out of ten of the population living here are official staff, defense forces, and laborers.

　　 Liu Yan got off from Madam City and did not stop. He crossed the river and headed northeast. The place he was going to was called Ma Duguan.

　　 Mazu Pass was built at the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty. The pass is surrounded by Huanshui in the east. Together with Hongshangguan, it became a barrier behind Hengshan Mountain in the Western Jin Dynasty, in order to defend against the invasion of nomads on the grassland.

　　 Liu Yan will stop at Hong Shangguan, waiting for the follow-up troops to cross the river and catch up. He was also interested in going to Hengshan at first. He heard that there is no people there, and then there is no road to go up the mountain. Considering that if he really wants to go, the surrounding counties need to mobilize Minpi and open the way and level the land to provide camping. , Just give up.

　　Changshan County was originally called Hengshan County, but it was renamed Changshan County in order to avoid taboo Wen Emperor Liu Heng. It is part of the Northland. There have been many celebrities in history. It is not about Zhao Zilong, who is mythical and legendary, but many heroes who stood in frontier fortresses to fight foreign invasions. In addition, Liu Xiu, the founding king of the Eastern Han Dynasty It was Jianyuan proclaimed emperor in Changshan County.

It’s not nonsense to say that Zhu Xia’s name was chosen. Changshan County was formerly known as Hengshan County. The landmark is of course Hengshan. More than half of the terrain in its territory is mainly mountainous, and there are quite a lot of water systems. The cultivated land in the territory is very scarce, mainly concentrated. In the middle.

"Changshan County has a registered population of 270,000, with the densest population in the southeast. The three counties of Lingshou, Zhending, and Puwu are Shang County." Zhao Ping is the county guard of Changshan County, and the emperor must come to welcome and accompany him. He is a middle-aged man who looks slightly blessed. When asked about domestic affairs, he can always answer quickly: "The rest of the land is backed by mountains, or is surrounded by mountains and has a small population."

　　 The population of Shangxian in Han country needs to reach 30,000, and the number of corvette provided and tax payment meet the standard.

Nowadays, there are less than 100 Shangxian counties in Han, and many of them are counties with a population of hundreds of thousands or even one million. For example, Jiankang in the south, Linzi in the east, and old and new Chang'an in Guanzhong. They all have a population of one million. The level of the county. In addition, there are nearly 20 counties including Xiangguo, Yecheng, Xingyang, Pengcheng, Chengdu, etc., with a population of more than 100,000.

There is no such thing as a population of more than 100,000 in the Northland area. There are only about 30 in Shang County, and Changshan County can account for three of them. It is really because the rest of Changshan County is a mountainous area, and the population is not concentrated. Go to the county of the plains?

　　Hong Shangguan is now only a place name. It has long since existed as a pass, and even the pass has no outline, only a remnant foundation remains.

"There are only a hundred people here, and they usually live on fishing and hunting." Zhao Ping didn't know if he was really hard at ordinary times, or he knew that Liu Yan was only coming to rote memorizing information about the treatment, and smoothly answered Liu Yan's questions. Seeing that Liu Yan was happy, he said jokingly: "Because it is located at the border of the two counties, the geography is blurred, and the people of the two counties are rushing around. The people really don't know whether it belongs to Changshan or Zhongshan."

　　Changshan County is next door to Zhongshan County, Hongshangguan is really at the junction of the two counties, so Lu Xun, the county guard of Zhongshan County, and a group of prominent families from Zhongshan County also came back to pick them up.

　　 When Lu Xun listened to Zhao Ping's talk, he couldn't help but feel lumps in his heart.

　　 It didn’t take long for Han to begin to pay attention to internal affairs. Because of the speed of recovery, the border divisions of some counties were actually rather vague. After that, the history will also belong to this society for a while. There are indeed some jurisdictional disputes.

There are only more than a thousand people in Hongshangguan who can’t provide much corvee. If there are any special products, there are really no special products. A small amount of farmland can’t pay much tax. But now is an age when mosquito legs are thin and fleshy. The country is tightly grasping the population. , For each county, one more person will have an additional political achievement, let alone there are more than a thousand people, how can it not be disputed.

　　 Liu Yan can be heard, that is to let him, the emperor who speaks Tianxian, decide whether Hongshangguan belongs to Changshan County or Zhongshan County.

　　 This is indeed an interesting thing. Leaders play with the power brought by power, and open their mouths to determine the ownership of a place. In history, many people with power like to do this to show their authority.

　　 Liu Yan looked at Zhao Ping indifferently, which place should belong to whose rule, should he lose his share to this point to show his authority as the emperor? That is the responsibility of the prime minister's house.

　　 After Liu Yan glanced at Zhao Ping, his back was wet with sweat, and people couldn't help but shiver a few times, sweat dripping from the bridge of his nose.

Lu Xun next to him still doesn’t know how grateful he is. The dispute between the two counties is not only Hongshangguan, but also Maduguan, Xinshi and Jiumen. Those are the people living at the junction of the two counties. Point, usually when it comes to collecting corvee and tax collection, there is really no less friction between the two places, and there have even been many incidents of subordinate staff.

This is not the case in Changshan County and Zhongshan County. Each neighboring county has similar things. There are too many busy things in the Prime Minister’s Mansion. There are so many disputes in each county. It is really difficult to deal with it in a short time. When it was over, it just dragged on.

The Prime Minister’s Mansion needs to be busy in a lot of places. The most important task is to build Chang'an City and the national highways in the southeast and northwest. The manpower used in these two places accounts for 67 out of ten of the establishment. The rest are busy. In the supervision or acceptance of infrastructure construction in counties and counties, there are really no extra people to do other things.

The construction of New Chang'an has entered the final stage, but it does not mean that the manpower of the Prime Minister’s Mansion can be drawn out. On the contrary, more manpower needs to be invested for the inspection and acceptance. Ji Chang felt that the manpower was not enough, and more than once thought about requesting an increase in the establishment. Just considering that the establishment of the Prime Minister's Mansion is already extremely large, whether it is for taboo or the phenomenon of redundant officials that may appear in the future, I can bear it.

There are only two largest institutions in Han. Except for the prime minister’s office, which is the Taiwei Department. With the separation of military and administration, the prime minister’s office no longer involves military affairs. The Taiwei Department assumes all the responsibilities of the military, including the deployment of troops and generals and logistics materials. Deployment.

Xu is a clever man. He feels that his rights are too great. He has soldiers and masters of supplies. He has written memorials to Liu Yan more than once, requesting a split. If he doesn't split, he dare not continue with Taiwei. Go ahead.

Of course, Liu Yan also knows that the power of the lieutenant is a little too big, but the governance of the country always needs to separate steps. First, the military affairs should be separated from the prime minister’s office, and it will be transferred to the office of the lieutenant, and then a new department will be established to share some. Power to avoid any instability.

　　 In fact, the military will have major reforms in the future. It will probably be divided into a department dedicated to dispatching troops, a department dedicated to dispatching troops, and a department dedicated to planning wars, and an administrative organization will be set up to be managed by civilians and military commanders. In addition, there will be two different administrative departments of the field army and the guard army (including the frontier army and the county and county soldiers), so that the functions and powers are clearly distinguished... and even opposed.

Not only will the military be split and refined, but civil affairs will also be carried out. After repeated consideration, Liu Yan came to the fact that the system of three publics and nine officials is really not keeping up with the times. In order to be able to clarify some of the powers, it was changed to three provinces and six ministries. Perhaps it is an inevitable trend.

Liu Yan is not someone who has never thought about getting modern. It’s a pity that he really can’t figure it out. He knows that there is a prime minister’s office, and he also knows what the prime minister does, but what departments are there in the prime minister’s office, and what officials are under the prime minister. He really doesn't know wow!

　　 The current three provinces and six ministries were executed at the end of the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin and Eastern Jin Dynasties. They are far from the maturity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but there are indeed some that are needed, and the missing ones can be supplemented according to actual needs.

　　 Just like the steps and transition required to split the Taiwei Department, Liu Yan can't do everything in one step. It will take two or three years to do it slowly.

It will take two or three years to consider. Ji Chang, Xu Zheng and others will end their three terms after three years (Yuanshuo 13th year). Then they should leave their posts and go to which post to continue. Luminous fever is not to mention, each position must be taken over by new people.

　　 Liu Yan re-started two days later. He entered Zhongshan County, but he only passed through the northern part of Zhongshan County. He did not intend to inspect the rest of Zhongshan County. The next county to enter was Fanyang County.

　　 Fanyang County was originally under Youzhou, and for a while it was the seat of the capital of Youzhou. The most famous county is Zhuo County, where Liu Bei was born and grew up. It is adjacent to Dai County, Guangning County, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County (in the Western Jin Dynasty).

　　The final destination of the patrol team in Fanyang County is Zhuo County. On the way, they passed Fanyang and Gu'an. Liu Yan stopped and inspected during the period. It must be said that the wounds left by the war can be seen at the beginning of the visit.

"This place is where our army first attacked (Murong) Yan State." Liu Yan's memory is actually rather vague. I can't remember who led the army and which standing army was participating in the battle. I only remember the Murong Yan army at that time. Resistance is very stubborn: "Why haven't the city walls been cleaned yet?"

　　 Fanyang County's county guard Guo Tian immediately looked at Fanyang County Magistrate Lu Hua with a ugly expression. He felt ashamed that it was a big deal and it was a big deal to leave the emperor with inadequate tasks.

　　 "Your Majesty..." Guo Tian couldn't help but say, "Just do it, just do it..." Lu Hua was even more angry in his heart.

"Can the county magistrate here?" Liu Yan actually saw people wearing green official robes, and there was more than one of them. Among them, there must be county magistrate Fan Yang. He saw a person come out and kneel down to plead guilty, without any emotion. Was asked fluctuatingly: "How many people are in the city?"

　　 Lu Hua’s voice sounded a little frightened, and he replied: "There are 210 households in the city, 207 adult men, 112 women, and 89 children."

　　 Liu Yan has not forgotten that under eight years of age are not counted in the household registration. He would ask that, just want to know how much labor there is, and then he would know why it has not been cleared.

　　 Fan Yangcheng has more than 400 local residents? It should be that the previous war caused too many deaths or escapes, and no new residents moved in. In an era that relies solely on manpower, there are not enough manpower to do too many things, especially since the war has just ended not long before, people are prioritized. In the stomach, only if there is enough food, will they do things that do not affect their livelihoods.

　　 Lu Hua was surrendered and asked about the population of Fanyang County. He replied that there were a total of 4,700 people. This time he did not answer as detailed as when he reported the population of Fanyang City.

　　 "When a widow came to see the fields and rice paddies, the county gave priority to farming?"

The fields that Liu Yan saw just now can’t be said to be so good, but considering that this place is also affected by drought~www.wuxiamtl.com~, we can still see all kinds of food farming, and some people are raising sheep, raising the heights among the short ones. It is already a relatively good place.

Speaking of drought, the Northland has finally had a rainy season recently. Liu Yan knew that it was the result of setting fire to the grassland. The rain for half a month alleviated the drought in the Northland. There is no rain.

"It is indeed necessary to guarantee the people's stomach first." According to the current evaluation standards, Liu Yan should appreciate that Lu Hua is at least a responsible local official. He especially learned that Fanyang County is working hard to promote waterwheels and has also developed a hydraulic mill. Even more praise: "Not starving to death in the disaster year is the greatest contribution."

After this round of inspections, especially when he entered the Northland, Liu Yan saw too many desolate places. There is no place in a densely populated city that can be called prosperous. If you really want to have a comparison, you can only say whether it can be. Sustaining the needs of life is worse than one.

　　 Lu Hua was very excited to be appreciated by the emperor. He knew how to behave and said that it was Guo Tian, ​​the county leader, who was good, so that the reserved smile on Guo Tian's face remained unbroken.

Liu Yan also knows a little bit about each place he visits. Regarding whether swarms of locusts have been found, it is not known whether it is the result of the fire or the recent continuous rainfall. There are more or less signs of locusts found in various places, poultry and poultry. People continued to hunt and wipe out a group, and no disasters were found that swarms of locusts.

　　 "There is only one place that can be said to be an accident, but many places are like this..." Liu Yan said to Sang Yu privately: "It is to set fire to the entire grassland as an enemy, so what!"
