The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 233
The old slave is dead.

This news is undoubtedly confirmed, because according to the news from the investigation, all parts of the barbarian rule are wearing filial piety.

No matter how the old slave died.

They were all killed by Jinjiang Town.

This time, Jin Jiangzhen quickly sent back the merit report to the country, asked Jinjiang Town for merit, and asked the court for compensation and silver.

The New Year's Day in the capital has stopped, no matter how the court responds, Tang Qing'an has already set the tone.

There will be no war throughout the next year.

The old slave is dead.

The situation of the barbarians has changed drastically. In any case, it is impossible to launch a big battle against Jinjiang Town next year.

Taking advantage of this "safety" gap, Jinjiang Town will go all out to organize people's livelihood matters and lay a solid foundation for Jinjiang Town.

The sergeants take turns to rest, and the civilian husbands are dismissed.

Livestock and horses return to the shed.

And when next year's governance phalanx is handed over to the chief officials, although there is no explicit statement that a big war will not be organized.

But the contents of official documents are all related to people's livelihood.

So the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

If the war is still to be maintained next year, these officials can only helplessly appeal to the Jiedu Mansion, which is not what everyone is willing to do.

"Chen Daotai."

"Dai Taotai."

Jiedufu Main Street.

The streets are wide and clean.

On the stone-brick streets, a row of horse-holding posts was built, and there were also mangers, and the grooms of Jiedu Mansion would provide fodder.

But with the promotion of carriages.

Looking at the various carriages, more than half of them are four-wheeled carriages.

On the newly built straight roads in various places, the four-wheeled carriage runs fast and smoothly, and can accommodate a number of people.

The west side of Jiedu Mansion is expanding again.

West Street is full of workshops.

However, with the severe cold weather, all the fortifications have been suspended, and most of the craftsmen have returned home on vacation, and only some scattered work is still indoors.

The four-wheeled carriage that Dai Guowei was riding in, the driver had just found a free hitching post, when Dai Guowei got off the carriage, he saw Chen Heng.

One is the Taoist officer who patrols the Shijing Road, and the other is the Taoist official who patrols the Changshan Road.

According to the official document issued by the Jiedushi, it is strictly forbidden for officials and generals to call each other brothers and brothers, and they must be called according to their positions.

Therefore, the two didn't even bother to address each other by their own names, and called each other by their official names directly.

The two were dressed in official uniforms, very majestic.

On the street, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before entering the Jiedu Mansion humbly.

The officials received by the Jiedu mansion were led to a public house to rest according to their waist badges, and waited for the Jiedu envoy to summon them.

Into the public room.

The charcoal fire in the fireplace is burning vigorously, and the whole room is extremely warm.

There are quite a few officials in the room.

Seeing the two newcomers, they stood up and greeted each other.

Dai Guowei and Chen Heng are in charge of the chief officials of a place. After a few years, their qualifications are not low, and they will definitely be promoted this time.

Everyone looked at the two enviously.

There are more than one public house for housing waiting officials, there are four courtyards, and more than a dozen houses have been vacated.

They were provided to officials and generals to settle down.

This public room is basically used to receive officials from all over the east coast.

There is a huge food shortage, there are many Liao people who are short of clothes and things, and there are many official duties waiting to be dealt with, etc., but this does not hinder the joy on the faces of the officials.

The territory of Jinjiang Town has directly expanded several times this year, occupying two-fifths of Liaozuo.

Dai Guowei didn't hand over his coat to the officials who came up to meet him. He chose to turn around and hang it on the hook by himself. When he turned around, he saw the smiling faces of officials all over the room.

He also couldn't help showing a smile.

He was born alone.

Became a sub-road patrol officer, and will govern a place soon.

It was something that I didn't even dare to think about before.

How many Jinshi in the capital are still waiting to be released, making connections and managing silver.

And the students in Jinjiang Town, even Tong Sheng, have already started to become officials, and some of them are even of high grade.

Who can not be happy.

The hard work of the past few years has not been in vain.

"Many of the Liao people who have come to seek refuge are unwilling to cut out the food, and they are very ignorant of the truth. The general is too kind."

When these officials got together, they were of course talking about business worries.

"Yes."

When someone complained, someone agreed with him.

"Although the food is borrowed, it is beneficial to these people, whether it is giving interest, or deducting the number of years for the government to farm the land, or even dividing the land.

It was obviously a very cost-effective deal, but some people were too short-sighted and wasted the general's kindness. "

Tang Qing'an was promoted to the Jiedu Envoy of Jinjiang Town, but everyone still used to address him as General to show their closeness.

Dai Guowei listened to what everyone said, but didn't say a word.

He was not like this in the past, but now the more he is in a high position, the more he is reluctant to show his thoughts to the outside world.

Without knowing it, he became a full-fledged politician.

Not only him, he saw Chen Heng from the corner of his eye. Chen Heng was lying on the chair with his eyes closed.

The corner of Dai Guowei's mouth tanned, imitating Chen Heng.

As soon as he closed his eyes, no one came to harass him.

"Is Zheng Guoliang Daotai here?"

Sudden.

An official ran from outside and shouted to the crowd when he entered the house.

Although he is only an official, he is used to seeing officials in Jiedu Mansion, but the officials will smile at him, so he is very skilled.

"I didn't see it."

The official glanced and saw Dai Guowei and Chen Heng.

"The general summoned the Taoist officer, please go quickly."

Hearing these words, Dai Guowei and Chen Heng opened their eyes at the same time, took off their coats, and tidied up their appearances.

Under the eyes of envy in the room, the two went out at the same time.

"Tsk tsk, next year we will have more than a dozen prefects and prefects."

When the two left, someone couldn't help sighing.

"Be careful."

Someone felt that the crowd was getting more and more out of proportion, and began to remind them.

Dai Guowei and Chen Heng were led to the main hall.

In the main hall.

Zhu Wen, Gu Daochu, Li Chengxian, Wang Xuan, Fang Shizhen, Zheng Guoliang, Wang Hao... There are more than ten people.

"There were people looking for you everywhere just now, so you have already come."

Dai Guowei smiled at Zheng Guoliang when he saw Zheng Guoliang.

Zheng Guoliang also had a smile on his face.

"I met an acquaintance in another yard, and I just heard that the Taoist official was coming, so I came first."

Different from the house just now.

After a few casual words, they fell into silence.

An official glanced at the door and saw that the number of people was already there, so he left a word and left in a hurry.

"Don't move around, everyone, I'll go ask the general."

The official finished speaking.

The officials present cheered up one after another.

Not for a while.

Tang Qing'an came in from the side door of the hall, followed by Feng Shengzhi, Gu Yingshi, and Xie Youcheng.

All the officials stood up to greet him.

"Sit all."

After Tang Qing'an sat down, he waved his hand to signal to everyone.

Waiting for everyone to sit down again.

"I don't mention it in advance, I will talk about the other things first."

Tang Qing'an leaned on the armrest of the Huanghuali-backed chair with his right hand, leaning forward to the right, with a smile on his mouth, resting his left hand on the table, twirling his thumb and index finger.

The demeanor is a little idle.

Even so, the officials present all looked cautious.

"I heard some officials complain that people who have food are stingy and short-sighted, and think that the government is too kind to the people.

This is something that is beneficial to the people, but when it comes to results, these stubborn people will naturally be grateful to the government. "

Dai Guowei watches his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

Thinking of the officials who spoke unscrupulously in the public house just now, I shook my head at these people in my heart.

"Therefore, some officials wrote to me, warning me that the government must be majestic, otherwise the ignorance of generosity will make the people lose their awe.

And if the people have no fear of the government, it will be a great harm.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter. Do you all think so? "

The general looks like this.

The officials present here are all good people, and none of them agreed with such remarks, but instead criticized them.

Tang Qing'an smiled.

He was never guilty of his words.

But in the end, his own prestige is here, and it is human nature for officials not to dare to offend him. He didn't expect anyone to say anything.

"Six years ago, the barbarians took over Liao Zuo and nearly 500 million Liao people. Why did they choose to slaughter and loot instead of governing people's livelihood?

In the dead of night, I often think that the barbarians established the state ten years ago, and they also made efforts to develop people's livelihood.

However, the imperial court was fatuous, and the people of the Liao Dynasty had no way to supply them. Instead, many people fled the Liaozuo and poured into the Nuer Gansi.

Then if the barbarians keep this momentum and use it to govern the 500 million Liao people, lead the people to build new water conservancy projects, and reclaim fields, instead of relying on the military strategy of fighting to support war.

So after these six years, what will the strength of the barbarians look like? "

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Not to mention Nuer Gansi, even most of Liaozuo is still in the state of deep mountains, old forests, swamps and wasteland.

It is extremely difficult to build new water conservancy projects and cultivate acres of land.

But is it really impossible?

of course not.

The Qing Dynasty blocked the whole Liaodong and even Nuer Gansi.

The original fields have turned into old forests again, and the water conservancy has been abandoned and cannot be used.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the rule was weak and could not stop the people from entering the Guandong, so the restrictions were relaxed. More than two hundred years later.

The Northeast finally ushered in the population.

for a short time.

The Northeast has a population of nearly 2000 million.

There is no government organization to build new water conservancy projects, no government organization to reclaim fields, and of course no government organization to provide supplies.

There is no chemical fertilizer or mechanization.

more difficult than the current situation.

So how did these 2000 million people survive?
Man conquers the sky.

Sometimes it's not empty talk.

"The people's livelihood is difficult, the people's livelihood is difficult, the people's livelihood is bitter, and it takes ten times or even a hundred times the energy to manage the people's livelihood well.

Therefore, the barbarians chose to use war to support war, slaughtering Liao people to search for materials, although they can get more materials in a short time.

But in the long run, it will be exhausted. Once encountering setbacks, you will be unable to deal with it and be at a loss what to do. "

Dai Guowei said slowly.

"Goodbye."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

see.

Chen Heng also spoke.

"Because of a series of victories, the barbarians became arrogant and arrogant, unable to calm down to govern the place, this is one of them.

With our country and Mongolia as two powerful enemies at our sides, we want to make a quick decision, but we are unwilling to work hard to choose a safe strategy. This is the second.

The barbarians regard the Liao people as a burden instead of their own people. The more cruel they are to the Liao people, the more they guard against the Liao people, until they slaughter the Liao people to prevent future troubles. This is the third.

With these three conditions, the barbarians were in this predicament. "
