The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 324 Supporting the Family

Liu Tai thought of this and recruited Yang Man to accompany the army. Of course, in addition to Yang Man, others like Wen Qiao, Xun Chuo and others also followed him to Luoyang.

As for Yecheng, it was left to Chu Hui. After Luoyang is built, especially after the canal from Luoyang to Xingyang is successfully dug, the capital will be officially moved.

Even so, since the decision was made to move the capital to Luoyang, it was natural for Yangman to come to Luoyang to make friends with the local families, and Liu Tai also carried out comprehensive planning for Luoyang and the construction of supporting facilities.

Liu Tai proposed to pay attention to the descendants of the Shu Han family, so he naturally asked Yangman to discuss it. Zhuge Liang's descendants were naturally the top priority.

Of course, in addition to the descendants of Zhuge Liang, the Langya Zhuge family is still very prosperous. Even today, it is still second only to the Langya Wang family. The most famous one in the Jin court is probably Zhuge Hui, a Wang Zuozhi who has the ability to make orders. talent.

But the problem is, since they have chosen Jin Ting, no matter how talented they are, they are not worthy of praise to themselves.

So I might as well support Zhuge Liang's descendants. Even if they have no talent, as long as they follow a military history and record the history books steadily, they can guarantee that Zhuge Liang's descendants will be free from illness and disaster for two thousand stones.

How do you say that? Even if you say you can't do it, you can't do it. If you say you can't do it, you can't do it. Who gives them good luck? One of their ancestors is Zhuge Liang.

He worked hard and dedicated himself for the Han Dynasty. Now that the Han Dynasty has risen, how can it be called the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty if he does not take care of the Zhuge family!

After Liu Tai saw Yang Man, he said to Yang Man: "At the beginning, after the Jin Dynasty conquered the Han Dynasty, many aristocratic families in Shu moved to the Central Plains area.

The politics of the Jin court were dark and unpopular. Many aristocratic families would rather choose to be hermits than serve in the Jin court. They were really celebrities.

You can look for these famous families. If someone in the family wants to become an official, you can make arrangements. In addition, you can also look for one or two of the famous officials of the Han Dynasty mentioned in the list of apprentices.

If you are well-educated and well-educated in private schools, you can join the Han Dynasty as an official. After all, the Han Dynasty will not miss any talents! "

When Yang Man heard Liu Tai's words, he was excited and a little disgusted. However, he still saluted Liu Tai respectfully and said, "I obey, and I will definitely live up to the king's trust."

Yang Man was somewhat relieved at this moment. After all, no matter what, Liu Tai finally opened a small hole, and his fear of the aristocratic family was no longer so explicit.

But Yangman's pity is that Liu Tai's small talk to the aristocratic family is not for himself, a noble family in Yanzhou, but for the descendants of the original Shu Han.

This can't help but make Yang Man and others feel a little sad to follow Liu Tai and conquer the world of the Yanzhou family. After all, they have worked so hard, but in the end they can't compare to the kindness left by their ancestors.

But no matter what, Liu Tai was able to open a small opening for the aristocratic family, which shows that Liu Tai was not hostile to the aristocratic family for no reason, but was hostile to the aristocratic family for not supporting the Han Dynasty in the first place, and finally chose Cao Wei, and then took refuge in the Sima family.

There is no such thing as hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason. Liu Tai hates the families who have taken refuge in Cao Wei and Sima, but he wants to find the descendants of the original Shu Han family and shows relative kindness. Yang Man can also Understood.

Of course, understanding is understanding, and it’s okay to feel a little uncomfortable.

In order to establish a relationship with Liu Tai, I worked hard, and I did my best to serve Liu Tai.

It turned out that the Bai Yueguang in Liu Tai's heart was a family left behind by the Shu Han Dynasty, so how could he feel better about it?

But after thinking about it, it’s a good thing that they are on the list of apprentices, rather than a Shu family like Qiao Zhou who descends the list. Look at the few people on the list of apprentices, and even Jiang Wei is not on it!

Liu Tai watched Yang Man leave and nodded slightly. He left the affairs of the family to Yang Man, and he could always handle them well.

In addition, when it comes to the discharge list, we have to mention Jiang Wei who did not appear on the discharge list.

When Liu Tai and Xi joined the army, and when Xun Chuo and others communicated with famous Shu Han officials, they all knew that they did not think highly of Jiang Wei.

At least people of this era generally believed that Jiang Wei was not a good person and was a complete careerist.

Of course, this is also due to the Jin court's inheritance of the Cao Wei forces and its acceptance of the surrender of the Shu and Han forces, which prevented the political forces of both parties from being completely eliminated, which made Jiang Wei appear to be unhappy with both sides.

First of all, from the perspective of the Shu Han Dynasty, the surrender of the Shu Kingdom always requires a person to take the blame politically. With their help, Adou chose to leave the city and surrender, and it was accepted by the Jin court. At that time, Liu Chan was a hero who knew the current affairs. Naturally, we can't throw it at Liu Chan's head.

In fact, Liu Chan lived too long. If he had died a year earlier, his reputation would have been much better.

Naturally, Jiang Wei, a mercilessly surrendered general, was the most suitable target. After all, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition did not say that the Kingdom of Shu was getting stronger as the war progressed, but at least there was no turmoil.

If Jiang Wei were to fight, the Shu Han people's livelihood would be in ruins. Don't blame Jiang Wei.

Immediately after Jiang Wei surrendered, he followed Zhong Hui in rebellion, which became even more serious.

Originally, you were a surrendered general from Cao Wei. Secondly, you surrendered for the second time. As a result, you surrendered and then rebelled. Especially if you died yourself, there was no need to rush. You directly brought the two top commanders of the Jin Dynasty with you, and almost killed the main force of the Jin Dynasty. Serve in one pot.

The consequences of this actually severely damaged the capitulation forces of Shu and Chengdu itself, such as the former prince Liu Rui, Zuo Chaqi General Zhang Yi, the Han city guard Jiang Bin, the prince's servant Jiang Xian, the great minister Wei Ji , and even Guan Yu’s entire family were buried with Jiang Wei.

It can be said that no one in Shu resented Jiang Wei after this, which is really not much. After this, how could Jiang Wei's reputation be good!

When the Jin court dealt with this matter, it even pardoned Zhong Hui's family, but did not directly punish the Nine Clan, and did not regard Zhong Hui as the main suspect.

This was more or less a political compromise between the Jin court and the aristocratic family, but someone had to take the blame for the Zhonghui Rebellion. Everyone looked at Jiang Wei, who was comparable to Lu Bu and Ma Chao, and was the most suitable person to take the blame.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Jiang Wei and Chen Shou, who wrote history books, are not the same people.

Liu Tai also knew very well that Jiang Wei's only fault was that he was strong enough, but not strong enough.

Even Cao Wei and Jin Ting recognized that he could use troops, but he was not strong enough to be victorious in every battle like Han Bai and Li Yue.

This caused him to be discussed from time to time during the Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, thinking that Jiang Wei was wasting national power in vain.

After all, it has to be said that even in the current e-sports barrage, if the state is not good, there will be barrage comments that I can do it.

Although this is more or less just praise from the audience, it is even more so for national events.

If Jiang Wei is bound to win every battle, no one will say anything even if the treasury is empty.

Because victory itself can suppress some opposition voices, but the problem is that Jiang Wei can't do it.

When he is in good condition, he can kill Cao Wei randomly, but when he is in bad condition, he will be suppressed by Deng Ai.

This made the people of Shu have very strong opinions on Jiang Wei. You can't win all the time, so why do you insist on the Northern Expedition?

Therefore, Liu Tai knew Jiang Wei's loyalty, but Liu Tai had no intention of vindicating Jiang Wei, and even showed disdain and contempt for Jiang Wei from time to time.

He even said: "If there is no Jiang Wei in the Han Dynasty, for twenty or thirty years, the Jin court may be in chaos, and the Han Dynasty may rise again!" Liu Tai knew very well that only by leaving himself in the history books would he show his distrust of Jiang Wei , then when he discovered the memorial that Jiang Wei gave to Liu Chan, he could wash away Jiang Wei's grievances.

If I always show my admiration for Jiang Wei, then even if I find the memorial that Jiang Wei gave to Liu Chan, I am afraid that future generations will suspect that this memorial was forged by me, which will be bad.

Why do later generations agree that Jiang Wei died and the Han Dynasty died, instead of Adou's surrender? The Han Dynasty died because Huan Wen, the successor of the Jin Dynasty, a contemporary careerist, a powerful official who had no need to clear Jiang Wei's suspicion, stood up and personally defended Jiang Wei. Dimension whitening.

Especially the sentence "May your Majesty endure the humiliation for a few days. I hope that the country will be restored to safety after danger, and the sun and moon will be dim and bright again."

This is not just Huan Wen's sigh after reading it, "Mr. Zhuge will surely be able to rest in peace if he has knowledge under the spring."

Even if Liu Chan is afraid, he still appreciates that everyone left behind by his father-in-law is willing to work hard for the man's warmth.

As for Jiang Wei's little black descendant Sun Sheng, he felt as if he had eaten shit after he personally recorded this incident.

Because of this letter, Jiang Wei was truly given a fair reputation as a guest official, and it also gave the last great general of the Han Dynasty his innocence.

Therefore, when Liu Tai talked about the history of Xun Chuo and Xi joining the army, he occasionally commented on the civil servants of the Shu Han Dynasty, and his comments on Jiang Wei were the most unkind.

To discuss Jiang Wei with the evaluation that is most in line with people of this era, he must have his dislike of Jiang Wei recorded in the history books of later generations. Only when Jiang Wei's letter to Liu Chan is discovered later can he believe that he did not forge it.

Of course, Liu Tai's business naturally declined. As he moved the capital to Luoyang, Luoyang itself began to become lively.

Liu Tai first began to organize the work of the people who came in a steady stream.

The most important thing is to repair the road from Luoyang to Xingyang first to facilitate the transportation of materials.

After all, the canal from Luoyang to Xingyang will become the busiest canal section in the entire Han Dynasty in the future, but now Wang Bo has not even produced the drawings, let alone the Grand Canal.

Liu Tai's plan for Luoyang was to first clean up all the abandoned Luoyang city.

No matter how you say it, this is the capital of the Jin Dynasty. Its inner city construction is actually quite complete and there is no need to add any more.

However, after Liu Tai cleared these ruins, he began to organize people to start demolition and reconstruction. He did not modify the general plan of Luoyang's inner city, but he still made some adjustments to some details.

For example, the city began to build the chessboard-style layout of the Tang Dynasty, thus beginning to implement the city system.

This system is naturally backward from the perspective of modern people. After all, with development, it will restrict the prosperity of population and business.

But now is the end of Jin Dynasty, especially the end of Jin Dynasty that has just experienced great turmoil.

Although due to his own reasons, the population of the entire north exceeded 10 million, and before Li Shimin took over, the country barely exceeded 2 million households, it is undeniable that the productivity of the entire society has been completely destroyed.

Although I advocate the development of productivity and the introduction of coal into production, in reality, the main class in China is farmers.

The systems he mainly promotes are also the land equalization system and the government-military system to ensure that "land to the tiller" in rural areas.

In the process, the cost of living in the city has been increased without effectively improving productivity, thereby increasing the cost for farmers to leave their hometowns and move to the city. It is beneficial to the country as a whole to allow more farmers to stay in their hometowns and farm fields.

In ancient times, the overall productivity level improved. At least until mechanical energy could not replace livestock on a large scale, and resources and fuels could not replace biological energy, the so-called improvement in the overall productivity level was a false improvement.

It is very likely that with a turmoil or a plague, these so-called promotions will be buried directly.

Therefore, agriculture, the primary industry, is now the most important industry, and ensuring the stable development of agriculture is the most important.

In the process of formulating institutional policies, providing convenience for agricultural development is the top priority.

The city system in the Tang Dynasty made it difficult for farmers to come to cities and establish themselves. This ensured sufficient agricultural labor, at least in the early stages of feudal society, and contributed to the economic recovery and development of the entire society.

Of course, although Liu Tai has restricted the living costs of farmers entering cities, he is not polite to urban residents.

For example, markets should be established in the east, west, north and south, and trading in the markets is allowed before the curfew.

After all, farmers need to provide social value through production, and you city dwellers naturally have to show your own value through consumption.

Only if you consume more and consume the materials produced by migrant workers can society function smoothly.

Moreover, the city system like the Tang Dynasty was relatively easy to manage and simple to maintain.

Of course, Liu Taidu planned the road between Fangshi and Fangshi to be enough for at least ten carriages to pass side by side.

And began to introduce the modern road system and road planning to Luoyang.

After all, when he went to court in the morning every day, there would be traffic jams in Yecheng from time to time when officials went to court. Although Liu Tai wanted to change this, he saw that the roads in Yecheng were only so wide and he really had no interest in changing it. .

But Luoyang is different. It is almost a blank sheet of paper. You can decide how to plan roads and arrange transportation.

To be honest, this kind of transportation system was completely useless in the nine-story area in ancient times when productivity was not very developed.

But in Luoyang, which is destined to become a place where the world's wealth gathers in the future, it is necessary to have a relatively complete transportation system.

After all, it is impossible to be like what was shown on TV, where a Luoyang dandy rides a horse on the street, making the shops in the whole street miserable.

Therefore, it is better to formulate the transportation system in detail from the beginning, and then promote it from Luoyang to several areas that will become prosperous cities in the future.

As for pushing traffic rules further to the county seat, to be honest Liu Tai doesn't think it's necessary.

After all, there are only a few horses in those places, let alone carriages, all year round. It is a complete waste of resources to implement.
