Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 340 Xue Shu
The general direction was finalized, and the arrangements for Gansu began to be carried out in full swing.

First, the leaders of the local forces affiliated to each family, according to the list given by Tang He, made a unified arrangement to go to Beijing to meet, plan to confer official positions, and some plans mentioned by Zhu Yuan.At the same time, in order to avoid concerns from local forces, the ministries are still stationed in place and will not make major adjustments for the time being.

Of course, it must be disarmed.

Then, redo the administrative division.

There are seven roads and two states in Gansu, and the two northern roads are connected to the desert. They are not attached for the time being, so they will not be considered.

The rest of the five roads and two prefectures that were basically confirmed, Xining Prefecture in the south of Yongchang Road and Shandan Prefecture in the northwest, were all assigned to Yongchang Road and changed to Wulu as Wufu.Under Zhu Yuan's suggestion, the names of some prefectural systems were also revised and the Han system was restored.

Therefore, the new five mansions are Ningxia Mansion, Wuwei Mansion, Jiuquan Mansion, Zhangye Mansion and Dunhuang Mansion.For the time being, it is planned to send only five regular fourth-rank magistrates to manage it, and the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction will not be considered in the short term.

military aspect.

In addition to dispatching another [-] soldiers from Sichuan and Gansu, according to the system of the five prefectures, five new guards were established, namely Ningxia Guard, Wuwei Guard, Jiuquan Guard, Zhangye Guard and Dunhuang Guard.

It is planned that each guard governs 5000 soldiers.

In addition, the 12000 soldiers transferred in will be under the jurisdiction of the newly established Congsanpin Gansu Tuntian Branch, which will also be distributed according to the five guards, with an average of [-] people in a prefecture, and the five Davids will be responsible for supervision.

Let's talk about farming and grazing.

Spring is coming soon, and in a year's time, even if the spring in the northwest will arrive later, arrangements must be made as soon as possible. In addition to garrisoning soldiers, various materials such as seeds and farm tools must be allocated to help the local area expand production as soon as possible.

There are also some specific personnel appointments.

Such as soup and.

Now that it is decided to let Tang He temporarily guard Gansu, on the basis of retaining Lao Tang Cong Yipin Zuo Yushi Doctor, he will once again seal Cong Yipin Gansu Provincial Ping Zhang.Compared with Huagao, Li Wenzhong and others who are only equivalent to the provincial Pingzhang with false titles, Tang He has real power this time.

This can also be regarded as some kind of appeasement from Lao Zhu to Tang He.

After all, in this day and age, letting people guard a desolate place like Gansu is almost like sending them out.Although, according to Zhu Yuan's plan for Daming's future, this is not considered an assignment at all, and even a position that can make a difference, but outsiders may not necessarily think so.

Even if you know the allusion about Tang and a certain "riding on the roof", if you don't do some superficial work, it will inevitably make people think that Lao Zhu is too harsh on this veteran general.

In addition to these big arrangements, there are various small maneuvers.

For example, sending a surveying and mapping team, such as exploring the Hexi business road, such as selecting people to go to Gansu to open a school, and so on.

Imperial City.

In the twinkling of an eye, it is the [-]st day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival, which lasted for ten days, has officially ended, and both the ruling and opposition parties have begun to rush for the new year.

Today is also another special day.

About Luoshui.

However, compared to the previous freehand and blank, Zhu Yuan failed to go home early today.

He came to the palace at ten o'clock in the morning, and Lao Zhu left him a meal at noon, and continued to discuss matters here in the afternoon.

A meeting starts at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Regarding the guarantee of spring plowing and grazing in Gansu, as well as some specific personnel arrangements.

The meeting lasted an hour.

After the end, the others dispersed, and Lao Zhu brought his precious 23rd generation grandson to the East Pavilion. The grandparents and grandchildren sat down, and Lao Zhu smiled and talked about a previous arrangement: "Let that Fengxiang's Zhuang Muduan go to Wuwei as a Prefect, you accepted his daughter, is there any reluctance for this arrangement?"

Zhu Yuan didn't answer directly, but said with a smile: "These days... my ancestor, my biggest feeling is that everyone still hasn't adjusted their mentality, including you, ancestor."

Old Zhu was puzzled: "Huh?"

Zhu Yuan said: "I have explained before that Gansu is not the desolate and cold place that everyone imagines, um...of course, the climate is a bit like this, but, in my opinion, as long as it is well managed, Hexi...no To mention one, at least it can be regarded as half of the land of abundance. What's more, if you take a longer view and consider the future of the Western Regions, and even Central Asia and Europe, then the strategic position of Hexi is even more important. Therefore, sending someone to Gansu to be an official, in my opinion, has absolutely no meaning of promotion or demotion, let alone dispatch, but entrusts him with a heavy responsibility. If Yuan'er's physical condition did not allow it, the ancestors would not be willing , I even want to go to Gansu to be a provincial governor.”

"You have such a body, and Gansu, really don't think about it," Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, and then shook his head slightly: "I heard you say a lot, and I actually know this, but the officials can't see through it. , Asking them to recommend candidates for Gansu, it’s a ghost, pushing some people who don’t like it.”

Hearing what Lao Zhu said, Zhu Yuan could only helplessly.

Old Zhu looked over again: "Since you are so optimistic about Gansu, why don't you recommend one or two people to me?"

Zhu Yuan said truthfully: "My ancestor, avoid suspicion."

Old Zhu was immediately displeased: "You, you just think too much on weekdays to avoid suspicion. It is enough for me as an ancestor to know you. If you have to do something, you can do it boldly. ?”

Zhu Yuan nodded.

He also showed a sincere expression of emotion.

Old Zhu was still dissatisfied: "Then tell me..."

Zhu Yuan thought for a while, but remembered one, and said: "My ancestor, when I was in Mingzhou...the county magistrate of Dinghai, Xue Shu, I think it's good."

Old Zhu didn't think about it, and said directly: "Xue Shu, I remember this person, you mentioned in those letters earlier, he is honest and not pedantic, he is better than that Liu Lian."

"Yes."

"Mingzhou has the Division of Yinghai, and the matter is very important. I thought earlier that if this person is really useful, after a few years of training, let him replace Tao Qian as the prefect of Mingzhou. You... If you send it to Gansu, I'm afraid it's an overkill." Old Zhu was obviously reluctant, and asked pointedly, "Then Tao Qian..."

Zhu Yuan directly shook his head: "Ancestor, Tao Qian... Regardless of age, the main reason is that this person's character is too conservative, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a breakthrough there."

Old Zhu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and looked over: "Xue Shu, are you really willing?"

"Ancestor, this has nothing to do with me," Zhu Yuan also smiled: "You are the emperor, they are courtiers, how to use people is your business. However, if you ask me to suggest, I can even put Xue Shu in the westernmost place." The Dunhuang Mansion has been working hard for several years, and it has already left the border of Hexi, but guarding Yumen is still an important place, and it needs to be well managed."

Dunhuang Mansion is the former Shazhou Road, the westernmost road in Gansu. There are "spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass" and "West out of Yangguan without old friends", which shows that it is remote.

However, it is also an important node of the Silk Road.

"You are really..." Lao Zhu didn't know how to describe it for a while. He looked at his baby's 23rd generation grandson for a while, then thought about it, and suddenly realized: "This... Xue Shu, the word 'shu' is hard to describe. No, is it destiny?"

As he spoke, he found a piece of paper and wrote down Xue Shu's name with a pen.

Zhu Yuan did not turn this corner.

Xue Shu...

戍？
Ancestor, you can think too much, right?
However, back in this era, Zhu Yuan, who was becoming more and more superstitious, thought about it. Perhaps Xue Shu went to Gansu or Dunhuang, maybe there was some fate or something in it?
Lao Zhu raised his head again, looked at his precious 23rd generation grandson, and quickly said: "Then let him go to Dunhuang. Although the frontier is desolate and bitter, he has been directly promoted from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the fourth-rank Dunhuang." The magistrate, it is not a loss to him."

Lao Zhu promulgated the upper, middle and lower county system when he was still the king of Wu the year before last. At that time, Dinghai was rated as a lower county, and Xue Shu, the county magistrate of Dinghai, could only be counted as the seventh rank.

Although only one year has passed, in Dinghai now, not to mention being promoted to a county, it is enough to be promoted to a prefecture. The problem is that the county-level evaluation is once every three years. If you pay attention, you can only wait another two years honestly.

Now, not only did he not have to wait any longer, but he was also directly promoted to a fourth-rank magistrate, which was an encounter that many people would never encounter in their lifetime.

Ok……

If it is not Dunhuang.

Zhu Yuan can also imagine the desolation and misery of the northwest, but at the same time, in his opinion, it is really a place where you can do things.

Still a big deal.

So he nodded, and Zhu Yuan said: "My ancestor, if this is the case, call him to the capital first, and I will explain it carefully. Daming has a general three-year plan, and he has some plans when he goes to Dunhuang."

Old Zhu agreed, then reacted, and said with a smile: "You are biased, these five magistrates, why did you only explain this one? The others... also called, let you preach and preach."

Avoid suspicion!
Zhu Yuan murmured something in his heart, but since his ancestor said so, he had no objection, and after thinking about it, he added: "Zhuang Muduan should not run away, he can just go to Wuwei directly, and the others can call, I will Explain, explain."

"You are... well thought out."

Lao Zhu originally wanted to tease him, but he took it back when he got to his lips.

It's just a beautiful concubine for the 23rd generation grandson of his own baby. It's not even a father-in-law or something. The relatives of the Zhu family can't just cling to him casually.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhu opened his meeting notes just now, crossed out one of the previous names, replaced Xue Shu, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No more," Zhu Yuan said, "My ancestor, the only Mingzhou I know well."

Here in Jinling...

Ok.

Unfamiliar!

Lao Zhu changed his name, looked at the notes in front of him, Gansu Wufu, Xue Shu and Zhuang Muduan, there were two of them in a blink of an eye, and the child on the other side obviously wanted to avoid suspicion, so he stopped pushing and talked about other things.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that the hands of the engraved watch put here by Lao Zhu before Zhu Yuan, and it was already evening, did Lao Zhu let his precious 23rd generation grandson leave.
