Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 337 The So-Called Unemployment (3000)

Politics is an art of performance, and this principle can also be established in modern times. In foreign countries, in order to win votes, politicians show off their acting talents in the streets and alleys, and carefully dress up their personalities.

Looking at the history of emperors and generals, traces of performances can be seen everywhere, and this situation is especially prominent in troubled times. The hearts of civil servants and generals are votes.

Xiao Gao Wang is undoubtedly a good player. Compared with Gao Huan, he has the feeling that he is better than blue. In terms of acting desire and acting skills, looking through the history books, I am afraid that only Li Erfeng, who is a model of the emperor, can match him.

Of course, this is not talking about him killing his brother and forcing his father. As for Wang Mang, I will not mention it, bad luck.

Whether the ministers in power want to act or not, of course they have to act.

Create a character image for yourself who cares about the people, and sell it appropriately. For example, this time, he spoke out to dissuade the immigrants from Henan, but he was reprimanded. He complained.

After all, in ancient times, the people at the bottom were temporarily in a state of undeveloped wisdom.

They only saw that Gao Cheng tried hard to persuade, even broke his forehead. After resigning from office, he had to kneel in front of the palace gate to ask the emperor to change his mind. With such a powerful minister who is dedicated to the people, the people at the bottom are not easily captured by him. heart.

Between the emperor who doesn't care about the feelings of the people, and the powerful ministers who love the people and don't spare their lives, who to support and who to support, the result is obvious.

It's not that there are no smart people in this world, but it's because they are smart that they can see through without telling the truth. After all, the Gao family has great power, and the direction of the soldiers is all sluggish.

While Gao Cheng was gaining praise, the reputation of the emperor was getting worse and worse. In the future, if he tried to usurp the throne, not to mention that there would be no opposition, but it would only be the clan dancing and making trouble, and it would be impossible to mobilize the people no matter what.

Of course, in this era, more manifestations are coercion of the people rather than mobilization.

Gao Cheng could have agreed with half-push and half-push when all his confidants persuaded him to come in. After all, Cao Pi could usurp the popular Han Dynasty.

But Xiao Gaowang resisted the temptation of the throne, didn't he just want to take the emperor as his black glove and bear the infamy.

Shameless is shameless, but only a thick-faced person like him who can act well can be the king of Wei Qi.

After all, if Gao Cheng himself came forward this time and forcibly relocated 30 households in Henan to Guanlong, he would definitely feel resentful towards himself, and if he usurps the country in the future, there is no guarantee that they will not express some different opinions.

Compared with this kind of trouble, the hard work of performing is nothing.

Just like nowadays, there are many complaints from the migrants in Henan, and they all went to see Yuan Shan. When Gao Cheng came back to power, it was a done deal, and it was not easy to move them back. I have to be grateful to Dade.

Yuan Shanjian's edict was quickly sent to Jinyang, and Hu Lujin, who had had close contact with Gao Cheng, immediately organized the relocation of the family members of the Jinyang army.

When the migration work started, Gao Cheng often went out of the city to the camp outside the city to drink with the soldiers of Jinyang. Soothe their emotions.

Back in the mansion, Gao Cheng continued to discuss the issue of household relocation with Gao Longzhi and Cui Jishu, Minister of the Household Department.

It is impossible to place all the Bingzhou Hus in Sizhou, which is related to the problem of Huhua. He will fill part of the population from the surrounding areas of Luoyang to Sizhou, and disperse the Bingzhou Hus in Sizhou and its surrounding areas.

With the huge Han population in Henan, there is no need to worry about being humiliated, but it can play a role in changing customs.

To realize the dispersal and merger of the prefectures around Luoyang, the most important point is to put the real confidants in the prefectures around Luoyang.

After Gao Cheng discussed with Gao Longzhi and Cui Jishu about relocation and resettlement, he decided that the [-] family members of the Jinyang army stationed in Longxi with Dou Tai would go to Longxi, exempting land rent and taxes for five years.

Among the 2 Jinyang troops guarding Guanzhong with Pan Le, [-] family members were sent away, and the remaining [-] were recalled to Luoyang.

The remaining Jinyang army and the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty who had raised righteousness, and the Chang'an defenders who were recalled to Luoyang, totaled about 17, and they were scattered in the four prefectures of Si, Shan, Guang, and Liang.

Among them, [-] households were resettled in Sizhou, and [-] households were resettled in each of the three prefectures of Shaanxi, Liang, and Guangxi.

After Gao Longzhi and Cui Jishu resigned, Gao Cheng immediately recruited Cui Xian, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to discuss with him the candidates for the military administration of the four prefectures.

Gao Cheng intends to separate the military and the government in these four prefectures. The governor only takes care of the civil affairs and no longer meddles in the military as in the past, while the generals are only in charge of the military and no longer interfere in political affairs.

Its intention is self-evident, that is, the governor manages Hu Bing's family and the general leads the army.

After discussing with Cui Xian, Gao Cheng drafted a list:
The governor of Liangzhou was changed from Duan Shao to Zhao Yanshen, and Duan Shao was appointed as the military training general, under the jurisdiction of [-] Bingzhou Hu.

The governor of Shanzhou was changed from Gao Shen to Sima Xiaonan, and Hu Luguang was appointed as the military training general, under the jurisdiction of [-] Bingzhou Hu.

The governor of Guangzhou was changed from Gao Jishi to Zhang Shiqi, and Gao Jishi was appointed as the military training general, under the jurisdiction of [-] Bingzhou Hu.

The reason why they are training generals, not commanding generals, is not that Gao Cheng doesn't trust them. On the contrary, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, and Gao Jishi are Gao Cheng's earliest generals, and they are the most trusted.

But precisely because their age and qualifications are not enough, if half of the Jinyang army is forcibly divided into three people, the old people who serve Gao Huan will inevitably have opinions.

Therefore, he can only be named as a military training general. When the time comes to war, he still has to divide his manpower with a group of generals. For the time being, the three of them can only lead [-] people to fight alone.

Gao Shen succeeds Zhao Yanshen as Inspector of Qingzhou, and sending him away will also prevent Cui Xian from getting sick from this ex-brother-in-law.

As for Sima Xiaonan and Zhang Shiqi, there is no doubt about their loyalty, after all, one is Gao Cheng's brother and brother, and the other is Gao Cheng's most loyal pen.

The only thing that makes Gao Cheng doubtful is ability, but fortunately Shanzhou and Guangzhou are located in the hinterland, and not far from Luoyang, so there is no problem if he asks Tingwang Si to give him more snacks, and it is a test of their ability. Especially Zhang Shiqi, after all, I have never heard of his name.

As for the most important Sizhou, Chen Yuankang was in charge of Sizhou Mu, which also showed Gao Cheng's cronyism.

Sizhou did not set up military training generals, and nearly 3000 migrating Jinyang soldiers were all transferred to Gaocheng's old army, the Gyeonggi Army. At the same time, [-] people under Ke Zhu Hunyuan's command were also incorporated into the Gyeonggi Army.

As for the original Sizhou Muke Zhu Hunyuan, Gao Cheng planned to make him a member of the Luoyang Jingji generals, just like the former Jinyang generals such as Peng Le, Xue Guyan, and He Baren.

There is no permanent and unchanging policy, and now it is just a status as a powerful minister. Gao Cheng naturally wants to hold the army firmly in his own hands. It will not be too late to make adjustments when the status of the monarch and ministers is truly clarified in the future.

After sending away Cui Xian, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Cheng hastily recruited Feng Zihui, Minister of the Ministry of War, saying that he was at home with a job, but the decision-making place for state affairs was just transferred from the Ministry of Education to Gao Cheng's reception room.

The main discussion with Feng Huizhi was the issue of surrendering soldiers, and 16 prisoners were captured, including Wuchuan Xianbei with more than [-] people.

During the Battle of Shayuan, Yu Wentai captured a large number of Eastern Wei soldiers, reorganized some of them into the army, and released the rest, because he could not afford to support them, dared not kill them, and could not enslave the villagers.

But for Gao Cheng, it's not a hot potato, it's just the inclusion of these 1 people.

The reason why the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty rebelled was not only because the east was strong and the west was weak, but also because their families were all in Jinyang.

Yu Wentai left in a hurry, only caring about the family members of the soldiers who escaped with him, and most of the others who followed spontaneously were driven back by Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng planned to send the Wanwuchuan Xianbei and his family members to Xuzhou, and hand them over to Gao Yue to lead and guard them. Southeast border.

Among the remaining 15 people, there are nearly [-] state and county soldiers. Gao Cheng plans to reorganize them and send them to Hedong, Henan, Hebei and other places with their families to continue serving as state and county soldiers. Moved his family to the Guanlong area.

Of course, Yuan Shanjian must first transfer soldiers from the prefectures and counties in the Sanhe area, and then Gao Cheng regains power, pardons the captives in Kansai, and releases them to various places in Kanto for guards. have to occupy.

But such a thing, how many puppet emperors still can't look forward to it, after all, Gao Cheng just let the blame go, and don't want people's lives.

No matter how much he recited, there is no need to worry about him being killed with a knife afterwards to eliminate harm for the people.

No matter how thick-skinned, there is still a bottom line, even if it is not very high.

As for the [-] Shu soldiers, Gao Cheng did not dare to use them, so he decided to disperse them to the six prefectures of Heng, Shuo, Yun, Yan, Xian, and Wei in the northern Xinjiang for reclamation. After the tax is paid, everything belongs to them. As for marriage, there is no restriction. It is naturally best to settle down in the north.

After sending Feng Zihui away, Gao Cheng called Ke Zhu Hunyuan again, naturally to do the other party's ideological work, after all Sizhou Mu was the number one governor.

But Zhu Hunyuan is easy to communicate with. Before he went east, Gao Huan seduced him with the governor of Bingzhou, but when he arrived in Kanto, He Liuhun played a rogue. , and then transferred to Sizhou Mu, and entered Gao Cheng's command.

What's more, the position of Sizhou Mu is difficult to sit in.

As the saying goes, three lives are unlucky, and the magistrate is attached to Guo; three lives are evil, and the provincial capital of Guo is attached;

But Zhu Hunyuan had never heard of this common saying, but if someone mentioned it, it would definitely resonate with him. Sizhou is the Gyeonggi area, and the General's Mansion will intervene regardless of military and political affairs.

Although Gao Cheng treated Ke Zhu Hunyuan very courteously, and his life was not considered aggrieved, but he sat in this seat as a warrior, and he was very free. Unless King Gao went out to fight, he could do something by staying behind, and the rest of the time, he was just Take your time.

Now that Gao Cheng has given him a prestigious title at the same time he has been transformed into a general of Gyeonggi, there is nothing he can be dissatisfied with.

Seeing that Zhu Hunyuan readily agreed, Gao Cheng also heaved a sigh of relief.

　9000/1.6w, 7000 left, let me take a breather.
