My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 187
Because he had been in the capital for many years, when those refugees heard that the imperial court had appointed the governor of Yizhou, many people asked him to come to find out whether the imperial court had new policies for these refugees.So, he came here.

And on Ma Yuan's left stood a sixth-rank monk dressed as a scribe in a green brocade robe.This person is not very old, handsome and handsome, with a face like a crown of jade, but the arrogance on his face makes people afraid to get close to him.His name is Qiao Deng, and he is the great-grandson of Qiao Zhou, the most famous Confucian in Sichuan. He was hired by Zhao Min Sangu Maolu, the governor of Yizhou who just came to Sichuan, to be his master when he was less than twenty years old.

Qiao Deng originally didn't like this Yizhou governor who came from a poor family and spent a lot of money to buy him, but he didn't hesitate to hire him. Min's boss.A few days ago, the governor sent a report that the imperial court recruited Zhao Yu, the governor of Yizhou, to come to Beijing as Dachangqiu, and Cui Can, who was appointed to the Cui family of Boling, was the new governor of Yizhou.

After hearing the news that Cui Can was about to arrive at Jiange, more than a thousand civil and military officials from Yizhou discussed together to go to the junction of Yizhou and Liangzhou to meet the newly appointed envoy of Yizhou.

According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, officials do not cross the border.This Jiange belongs to Liangzhou, and Yizhou officials are not allowed to cross the border to Liangzhou to meet their envoys.Jordan was able to come here because he had resigned from Yizhou Governor Bo first.With the prestige of his Qiao family in Yizhou, and his talent of being a sixth-rank monk before the age of 20, he was jointly recommended by more than a thousand colleagues to come to Jiange to welcome Cui Can.

The Boling Cui family is one of the eight most prestigious families in the Jin Dynasty.Qiao Deng and the others had admired the Central Plains since they were young, and now that they thought that they would soon be able to meet the governor of Yizhou from a wealthy family like the Boling Cui family, his always proud face could not help showing fascination.

Ma Yuan is an old man here, so he naturally knows that the person next to him doesn't seem to have any official position now, but he is not allowed to meet the new governor, and this person will fly into the sky.

The Qiao family in the middle of Shu has an unparalleled reputation in Shu.The great Confucians, Qiao Zhou and his sons are both great Confucians, and more than half of the officials and celebrities who came from the Shu region have listened to the lectures of the father and son at Qiao's house, and their connections are unparalleled.

For this kind of celebrity who came from a famous family, Ma Yuan entertained him with all his heart, but the other party treated him indifferently, with a look of disgust on his face.

But even so, although Ma Yuan was depressed, he was happy with it.This is the current ethos of Dajin, and this is how celebrities behave.Those who behave like Jordan are known as celebrities.Don't bow down for the powerful and powerful, don't look at the identity of the other party, just look at whether you can see through the world and be unrestrained.What Ma Yuan didn't know was that the more he humbled himself in front of Jordan, the more Jordan looked down on him.Not because of his origin, but because of his vulgarity.

Ma Yuan is just a layman.

He treated Jordan well, and after many pleadings, Jordan reluctantly picked up a brush and wrote a letter for him.This made Ma Yuan feel like a treasure, and after drying it, he treasured it, saying that he would hang it in his home in the future to let the younger generation look at the handwriting of celebrities.

Not to mention that he is just a general guarding the Jiange gate, even the prefect, governor and even the town general, he greets these famous people before and after, and dare not neglect them in the slightest.

At this time, July has passed, and the weather is no longer so hot.Among these mountains, gusts of mountain wind blow continuously, making people feel no sultry heat at all.

Ma Yuan and Jordan just stood there without talking, just looking at the distance of the mountain road.

Finally, at the far corner of the mountain road, a group of figures began to appear.The leading knight held up a golden gilt scepter with one hand, a round white jade ball was inlaid on the top of the scepter, and a string of beads of different colors was tied under the ball.Another knight following this knight held a banner in his hand, with a few large characters written on it: Yizhou Inspector Cui.There are even some knights holding evasive flags and leading the way aside. In this winding mountain road, this team looks extremely large and long.

"Jiange guard Ma Yuan, Yizhou monk Qiao Deng, and Qinzhou monk Li Yang respectfully welcome the envoy!" When the two saw the team approaching, they bowed to the middle-aged man in a green car. Salute.

"Yizhou monk Qiao Deng?" Cui Can, who was in the car, heard the introduction of the two, and said with a smile, "Who are you, Shu County Qiao Guanglu (given to Dr. Guanglu by Qiao Zhouguan)?"

"It's my great-grandfather."

"It turns out that you are really a descendant of a famous family. No wonder you are handsome and talented." Cui Can said happily: "Are you a descendant of Qiao Taizhong (a gift from Qiao Xiguan to the Taizhong doctor), or a descendant of Qiao Zitong (Qiao Deng used to be the prefect of Zitong)?" people?"

"Taizhong is my grandfather."

"My father was a minister of the same dynasty as the Taizhong. He respected the ancestors very much and often asked me to worship under his sect. Qiao Deng, if you don't mind, you can call me Shishu in private."

"The fate of the elders, Deng dare not say anything." Qiao Deng bowed to the ground again as he spoke, and sang aloud again: "My nephew Qiao Deng has seen Uncle Cui Shi."

"Okay, nephew, come, Uncle, let me introduce my family members to you." Cui Can laughed and got out of the car, leading Qiao Deng to introduce them one by one.Ma Yuan, who was watching from the side, had hot eyes.

"This is Wang Zhan, the prefect of Qianwei, who came from the royal family of Jinyang."

"I've seen the prefect Wang."

"This is my elder Shi Gengmi."

"Meet Geng Changshi."

"This is my Sima Yuchun."

"Meet Yu Sima."

"This is my son Cui Ye."

"I met Brother Cui Shi."

Just as Jordan greeted everyone one by one, two girls got out of a beautiful car behind the team and stopped to look at him.While pointing at him, the two were still playing and laughing constantly.

Although Jordan was young, he was already a sixth-rank monk with very keen ears.Following the voice, I looked up and saw the two young girls not far away, one was as elegant and refined as an orchid out of the valley, the other was as gorgeous as a dew peony, with different delicate looks and different beauty.

"The one over there is the little girl Cui Wen, and the other is a member of the Wang family in Jinyang, named Wang Tianyun."

At this moment, Jordan's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly recited the poem he had learned since he was a child:

Guan Guan Ju Dou, in the river continent.

My lady, my gentleman is good.

Ma Yuan, the guard of the Jiange Court, took care of everyone.He had already sent someone to clean up the pavilions inside the pass. After Cui Can and the others had lunch, everyone went into different pavilions to rest for a while before continuing on their way.

"Li Yang, why are you here?" Cui Can was acquainted with this palace tiger when he was serving as a censor in Shangluo before, and he knew this person's cultivation level very well.

"Reporting to Mr. Envoy, I came here specifically for the refugees. I don't know how you have traveled all the way. What do you think of us refugees from other states?"

Another thing Cui Can did when he went to Yizhou this time was to deal with these refugees who were widely scattered in Liangzhou, Yizhou.Since four years ago, Xitu suffered successive years of severe drought, and many places had almost no crops.A large number of hungry people begged for food and eventually led to a riot.This riot started in April of the third year of Yonghe, and in October, it was suppressed by Zhao Wanghuangfulun, who was still guarding Chang'an at that time.It's just that the refugee issue has remained unresolved.

Since then, the world of Shang has been in chaos, and it has developed to three parts of the world. Yizhou and Liangzhou belong to the Shu Shang Kingdom that separated Western Shu at that time.The Shu merchants and the Great Zhou fought for many years, and the residents of Hanzhong either died in battle or were relocated to other areas by the two parties.Today, the population of Liangzhou has been greatly reduced compared to the post-Shang period.

Most of the refugees who came here are like Li Yang and others. Many of their ancestors actually migrated or fled from Hanzhong.Although almost a hundred years have passed, when I return again, the scenery is still different.For these refugees, Liangzhou locals were more enthusiastic at first, after all, many of them were also former locals.Fleeing to this point, the big guys help them tide over the difficulties a little bit.

But no one can stop these refugees from staying for a year, and they have no intention of returning.And because these refugees live here, everyone is particularly united and aggressive.Whenever there is a dispute with the locals, these refugees are united with the outside world, but the locals are suppressed and dare not move.

Originally, these exiles were only in one place in Hanzhong, and they were forbidden by the imperial court to pass through the Jiange Pass.But at the beginning of the third year of Yongtai, the imperial court sent an envoy to investigate the situation of the refugees.The envoy was bribed by the refugees, and finally reported that there were hundreds of thousands of refugees, and Hanzhong alone could not support them.Ever since, when this report was submitted, the imperial court decided to allow the refugees to pass through Jiange to Yizhou to beg for food.

Then, a series of coups took place in Shangluo, and this matter was delayed.After Zhao Wang Huangfu Lun was kicked out of power, Qi Wang Huangfu 囧 took the first place to take the position of auxiliary government, and the problem of refugees from the two states was turned upside down again.

Needless to say, the land of Shu is rich and rich, even the land of Hanzhong has a mild climate and fertile land.In addition, many exiles were originally natives of Liangzhou. After a long time, many of these people did not want to return to Yongzhou and Qinzhou.

It’s just that the population of Yongzhou and Qinzhou has dropped a lot after the severe drought and the Qi Wannian Rebellion in the past few years. The governors of these two states and the governors of the prefectures can’t bear it. The refugees from Liangzhou were repatriated to the local area.

Cui Can knew all of this very well.

The imperial court has already made a decision that these refugees should return to their place of origin in view of the severe drought in Yongzhou and Qinzhou.When he passed by Nanzheng, Luo Shang, the governor of Liangzhou, had already begun to repatriate the refugees scattered all over Liangzhou.The first thing Cui Can did when he arrived in Sichuan was to repatriate the refugees who were scattered in Yizhou.

Why not repatriate the refugees and win the hearts of the locals? Kill two birds with one stone.

In his opinion, the refugees have been begging for food in Liangzhou and Yizhou for more than a year, so they should be grateful.Take advantage of the fact that summer is just over, and return to the original place in time.If the speed is fast, it can just catch up with the winter sowing, and there will be a harvest in the second year.

Whenever he thinks of this, Cui Can feels that he has a heavy responsibility, and he must get the refugees up as soon as possible.Otherwise, the winter sowing will be delayed, but the harvest for another year will be lost.

But Li Yang's relatives who have lived here for a long time don't think so.

Although Li Yang has been back for less than a month, he has already learned about the specific situation of this refugee.

Although it has been more than 50 years since the Great Jin pacified Shu, the population of Yizhou and Liangzhou is still so sparse compared to the post-Shang period.The refugees have already taken root here, and have begun to open up wasteland, farm and marry and have children.The climate here is far better than that of Yongzhou and Qinzhou. Most of the refugees have passed the most difficult period and are unwilling to return to their hometown.

According to Li Yang's eldest brother, Li Xiang, we are all citizens of Dajin, and wherever we go, we are not paying taxes and serving for Dajin.So many refugees had come to Liangzhou, Yizhou and other places after going through untold hardships and hardships, and finally settled down.Why do we have to travel thousands of miles to help the old and bring the young back to their homeland?So many people had already died when they came here, and I don't know how many people will die when they return.

When he came this time, one of the plans Li Xiang discussed with him was that it was impossible, and he asked the court to allow them to return to their hometown of Badidangqu.In their view, this request is not excessive at all.Dangqu is their hometown, not Lueyang.

And the more important one is that Li Yang thinks that the king of Qi will not be able to assist the government for a long time with the estrangement of his clan, and there will be more chaos in Shangluo.However, Yizhou, Liangzhou and other places are separated by Guanshan Mountain, which is really a good place to take refuge.

To drag the word, this is the ultimate goal of their brothers.As long as they can be delayed for another year or a half, no one will be able to move them away.

Cui Can didn't know what the Li Yang brothers were thinking, but he knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.Now that there is such a big resistance, everyone can solve it any longer.

"Li Yang, you used to serve in the imperial court. You should know that since the imperial court has made a conclusion, this matter cannot be changed." Cui Can directly refused Li Yang's proposal to move to Dangqu, "I heard that your brother These people have a high reputation among exiles, and they should assist the court in the relocation work. There are codes in the country, and meritorious service must be rewarded. You know this best. As long as the exiles can be successfully moved back to their original place, it will be a great achievement The government will report the truth to the imperial court and reward you for your achievements."

"As for what you said about worrying about the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, the government will send some manpower and supplies to you appropriately. You are also the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the court does not want to lose each of you. On this point, please You explain to everyone. It is already July, and the sooner you leave, the better. Li Yang, you should go back and prepare quickly. After the incident, the government still wants to hire you to be my gatekeeper."

Seeing Li Yang leave, Cui Can pondered for a while, and asked Qiao Deng to come in again.

"Nephew, you are from Shu, you can understand the situation of refugees in your Shu."

Jordan was refreshed when he heard this.He was early-witted when he was young, and his family was full of people. He communicated with important people in Shu, and he knew the affairs of Shu like the palm of his hand.

"My lord, the specific situation of the refugees is like this." Once Jordan opened his mouth, he was eloquent, "Because they migrated in from other places, in order to protect their own interests from being violated by the locals, they are basically Form a camp for self-protection. The few are seventy or eighty families together, and the many are thousands of people. Each camp has a leader, usually a big family in the original Yongzhou and Qinzhou, and many of them have served as court officials. It’s very extensive. Apart from the food distributed by the state and county, their daily diet is fishing, hunting and picking wild fruits and vegetables.”
