I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 359 After the big reshuffle, Wen Chou came

Proxy wars are a form of wars that occurred more frequently in history, especially in the latter part of World War II.

The general idea is that two countries do not directly participate in the war, but two opposing forces use external conflicts to attack the interests or territories of the other party in some way, usually including countries attacking allies of opposing countries and helping their allies to fight enemies .

Today's internal war in Wuhuan is like a proxy war for the Han Dynasty or the animal husbandry headed by Liu Jian, but it is different from a normal proxy war. Dun, there are two other Wuhuan leaders, Su Puyan and Nanlou, and the master behind them is Liu Jian, or Xun Yu.

In other words, what Liu Jian and Xun Yu are playing now is to beat themselves.

I'm hitting myself, I really can't control myself.

……

Liu Jian stayed at his home in Zhuo County for a while. During this period of time, he not only met the heads of the various branches of the Liu family in Zhuo County, but also met many young talents in the clan. Of course, he also met his good brother. Liu Kang.

This is the baby lump of Liu Zhou and Hu's old son, who is only three years old, about the same age as Liu Jian's second son.

But in fact, in this era with a relatively low life expectancy, Liu Zhou already belongs to the kind of person who has today but no tomorrow.

It is said that they are brothers, but in fact the eldest brother is like a father. The responsibility of educating this child may fall on Liu Jian at some point.

During this period of time, there was an endless stream of people who came to Zhuojun to visit Liu Jian. In addition to Liu's clan relatives, there were also many nobles from Zhuojun and surrounding areas.

Their father-in-law came to visit them in person with heavy gifts.

Liu Jian saw all the people, but Liu Jian didn't accept anything.

What Liu Jian wants from these people is not gold, silk and goods.

What he wants is bigger and more precious, and he is afraid that the Haoyou Gate in Youzhou won't give it to him.

Soon, Zhang Ju's head was sent to Liu Jian.

In history, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion caused waves and damage in Youzhou that were far stronger than it is now. It is not an exaggeration to say that its destructive power to Youzhou is ten times stronger.

However, due to Liu Jian's advance foresight and effective intervention, Zhang Ju Zhang Chun and the Wuhuan rebellion were all controlled within a relatively small range.

Now that Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju are all dead, the rebellion has subsided, and serious internal strife has also occurred in Wuhuan. If there is no accident, after the internal fighting in Wuhuan is over, the imperial court should be able to accept the Wuhuan people smoothly. The relationship between the Han Dynasty and Wuhuan is no longer the relationship between employers and mercenaries, but will adopt an integrated method to attribute them to the Han nation.

The key to the next step is the construction of the policy and interest chain that Liu Jian will implement in Youzhou.

This is also one of the most concerned things in the hearts of Hao You in the counties of Youzhou.

Liu Jian quickly gave everyone in Youzhou a reply.

At the beginning of June, Liu Jian received Zhang Ju's head in Zhuo County. He ordered his head to be transferred to the capital of Chang'an, and then ordered Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Qu Yi and others to rush to Yuyang County and Shanggu. , Youbeiping, Liaoxi and other counties, except for the several powerful families who supported Zhang's rebellion in the counties when Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun rebelled.

It's really a complete extermination, without any mercy.

The first one to be exterminated was Yuyang Haoyou Xiong clan, this family was a staunch supporter of Yuyang Zhang clan. In the early days of Zhang Ju's rebellion, the Xiong clan provided Zhang Ju with countless horses and fodder, and even sent disciples directly participated in the war.

According to Xiong's understanding of the actions of the central government of the Han Dynasty over the years, the central government of the Han Dynasty was too fierce in internal power struggles, coupled with poor management of people's livelihood, resulting in a fiscal deficit in the treasury and stretched expenses. , For local rebellions, the imperial court has always focused on suppressing the vital forces of the rebel army, and generally appeases the supporters behind the turmoil.

Therefore, Yuyang Xiong believed that even if the rebellion of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun were put down, according to the post-war measures taken by the Han government in the past to quell local wars, the official army would not have too much accountability for their supporters At that time, as long as it is beneficial, and sincerely express their surrender to the government, and deeply realize their mistakes, they should not do anything to themselves.

After all, the central government and the government have always only sought stability in Youzhou.

But obviously, this time things were not as simple as Yuyang Xiong imagined.

Zhang Fei led his troops to completely wipe out the Yuyang Xiong clan in the name of destroying the traitors' vassals!
The crime is the same as Zhang Ju's family, without any mercy.

The Xiong family in Yuyang was slaughtered, leaving no one behind.

When Zhang Fei was 14 years old, he had already experienced such things as destroying people's houses.

At that time, he was still a brash young man who followed Liu Jian's ass.

But now, he is not what he used to be.

To him, ransacking his family and exterminating his family is no longer a new thing, it can be said that he can easily catch it.

At the same time as Zhang Fei, there were two soldiers, Huang Zhong and Qu Yi, who ransacked the family and wiped out the clan. Guan Yu, along with Xun Yu, sat in Wuzhong County to observe the reactions of the heroes in the counties of Youzhou.

On the evening of June [-]th, Huang Zhong and others outwitted the Wubao of the Zhang family. All members of the Zhang family in Yuyang were captured and detained, and all the households with supplies were collected.

On the morning of June 77th, the home of the Shanggu Li family was attacked by Huang Zhong, who beheaded [-] pieces, and the rest surrendered and confiscated their belongings.

At noon on June [-]th, Sunjiabaowu surrendered. The Sun family asked to give up all their property, land, and apprentice households, but only to save their lives.

……

……

In the following ten days, the rebel families were wiped out one after another, and the entire Youzhou was in turmoil.

Logically speaking, in order to quell the rebellion, Liu Jian did such a big purge, thinking that it would be a deterrent, and many powerful families should rebel at this time.

But in fact, they don't.

For one thing, they were shocked by Liu Jian's killing methods. Liu Jian used his actions to tell them that from now on, no matter who they are, what their status is, or how powerful they are in the local area, all rebels will have their homes ransacked Genocide.

Moreover, before today's cleansing, those Haoyou families who had never been connected with Zhang Ju and others had already been deeply tied by Xun Yu using the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and the newly developed iron ore and graphite industries in Wuzhong County. Certainly.

Although they can't grasp the most profitable industries such as iron smelting and armor making, the mining output of Wuzhong County is too huge, and the downstream profit chain it generates is enough to make these families salivate.

In particular, many poor families in Youzhou have already seized the opportunity. At this moment, if they don’t quickly post it to the government office and wait for the finalization of the industrial chain of the endless mining industry, these families are afraid that there will be no more families in Youzhou. It's time to stand up.

It took them many generations to establish their status as a powerful right, and under the huge changes in the overall situation in Youzhou, they might lose it.

The horror of class slipping is unimaginable to them.

But when it comes to the next time to redistribute the benefits, they don't know that it will be the year of the monkey.

Therefore, at this juncture, no one dares to act rashly.

If no one moved, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Qu Yi and others would kill more happily.

The counties in Youzhou are bleeding like rivers!
Liu Jian's actions sounded a resounding alarm bell for the whole north, or the high gates of the whole world!

Starting today, if there is any act of daring to betray the country, it must be a heavy responsibility, and this heavy responsibility is definitely not just for the individual, but for the whole family.

At the same time, the appointment of Chang'an was also issued.

For the achievements of Xun Yu, Guan Yu and others in Youzhou, the imperial court issued appointments, and everyone should be promoted and rewarded generously.

However, Liu Jian did not get the position of Shepherd envoy of Youzhou that Xun Yu and Guan Yu had asked for.

The reason is simple, Dong Zhuo wrote a letter to Liu Jian
There is a sentence in it that explains that Mu Shou is the root of chaos in the world, how can it be so frequent?
Obviously, although Dong Zhuo and Liu Jian have reconciled now, he has become a bit wary of Liu Jian. Besides, Dong Zhuo has probably figured out the importance of the state shepherd at present, and it is too late to set it up.

Such a good card, if Liu Jian didn't show enough benefits, Dong Zhuo would naturally not give it to him easily.

However, the achievements of Xun Yu and Guan Yu cannot be denied.

Although Chang'an has already set up General Zhonglang to come to Youzhou to help Xun Yu put down the chaos, but Xun Yu has already quelled the war chaos before he arrived in Youzhou.

With such great achievements, if Xun Yu and Guan Yu were not rewarded and promoted, not only Liu Jian would not follow him, but someone in the court might jump out and make trouble because of this matter.

Dong Zhuo is a person who can afford it, let it go, and carry it clearly.

He naturally knew that there were some scenes that needed to be done.

After careful deliberation, he formulated the official position of Youzhou to suppress the rebellion.

Now Youzhou Inspector Han Fu has completely finished his game, completely lost the ability to govern, and has become disabled. For Dong Zhuo, this bastard betrayed him at the beginning, and this time he just took the opportunity to win on the spot.

Therefore, Xun Yu succeeded Han Fu as governor of Youzhou.

The choice of this position was decided by Dong Zhuo after a long time of consideration.

Basically, Liu Jian's request was met, and at the same time, Xun Yu was not given so much power.

As for Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and the others, they were all honored as lieutenants in the past, and they couldn't be rewarded in military positions because of emotion and reason. If not, wouldn't they have created a bunch of general titles?
If Liu Jian has a bunch of generals under his command, he will be in Hebei from now on.

It happened that after the chaos in Youzhou, the prefects of two thousand stones in all places could be dismissed because of the disadvantages of calming down the chaos.

Therefore, Huang Zhongqian became the prefect of Youbeiping, Zhang Fei was a native of Youzhou, and the three mutual laws avoided them. Sima of the other department of the vassal state.

Gongsun Zan, the captain of cavalry, moved to the prefect of Wei County in Jizhou.

Jian Yong took over Huang Zhong's position and became the captain of Huwuhuan, assisted by Tian Yu and Tian Chou.

Jian Yong did make a great contribution in splitting Wuhuan this time, and among discerning people, the era of Wuhuan as a military force is about to pass. In the near future, there is a high probability that Wuhuan will be incorporated by a big man, so Jian Yong is relatively good at It is far better for people who are settled in civil affairs to sit in this position than for military generals to sit in this position during this period.

The one who really made Dong Zhuo scratch his head was Guan Yu.

The achievements of other people may be slightly improved, or even adjusted, but it can barely be justified.

Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and the others used to be lieutenants in the military. Although their rank and salary were relatively high, they were only military officers in command of the battalion. When they were moved to be prefects of a county, they became two thousand stones in charge of the locality. In the local military and government, it has become the object of lifelong efforts of several famous families in the Han Dynasty.

For them, this is indeed an opportunity for transformation, which can be regarded as a favor.

But Guan Yu was originally the captain of the Liaodong vassal state, and the Liaodong vassal state was already caught by the military and government.

Such a character, how can let him become a prefect and settle down?
And this time, Guan Yu's role in bringing peace to Juchun was too great.

Relying on his prestige, he gathered powerful underworld forces in Youzhou to quickly restrain Juchun's soldiers and horses. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether the Juchun Rebellion will develop into a rebellion that plagued the whole of Hebei like it did in history Therefore, Guan Yu's contribution should not be taken lightly.

Therefore, the imperial court thought over and over again and decided to move Guan Yu to be the prefect of Shanggu, and at the same time make him lead the Xiongnu Zhonglang general to show his merits.

It is reasonable to move him to the post of prefect, but the key is to give him the title of General of the Huns.

Although he was only the Kaifu Zhonglang who was in charge of governing the Xiongnu, he had the title of general after all, and it was fair to Guan Yu who had made great contributions in Youzhou.

All of Liu Jian's friends became high-ranking officials in Youzhou, and all of them became the highest-ranking local governors in the Han Dynasty.

Although it was not as good as Liu Jian expected at the beginning, the result was completely acceptable.

Moreover, for Liu Jian, Youzhou was already under his control, and what was lacking was a clearer concentration of power. The privilege of the fake Festival Yue made it temporarily replace it.

With a group of little brothers in charge of important tasks in northern Xinjiang, and at the same time demonstrating their power by eliminating Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's vassals, Liu Jian will further promote reforms in the next step.

Undoubtedly, it is the first step to take out the land that has no owner due to the war and the confiscated land for rent and transfer, and implement farming.

Subsequently, the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Trade began to screen the local families according to their strengths, and once again absorbed a group of poor families who could be used as members to enhance the association's influence in the local area.

At the same time, the farming methods that Jizhou has studied over the years, as well as the overturned carts and keel waterwheels that are beneficial to water conservancy farming, must be placed in suitable places in Youzhou to assist farming and expand food production.

For Dahan, no matter which state or county he governs, the first thing to develop is farming.

After all, in this era, having enough food and drink is more important than anything else, and without enough rice, everything is nonsense.

After all, this is an agricultural society.

At the same time, according to Liu Jian's request, Qingzhou's book and periodical industry began to print a batch of books suitable for farming, and distributed them widely.

The editor-in-chief of these books is Liu Jian, but the writers are all kinds of farming and breeding talents who have been recruited by Liu Jian to Jizhou in recent years.

Liu Jian organized an editorial committee of agricultural books in Yecheng to encourage them to compile their knowledge of planting and water conservancy into books to benefit the people by distributing their remuneration. .

This set of technical and practical books, which Liu Jian personally mastered, broke the past practice of only recording Confucian knowledge as books, and began to sell and distribute them in the markets of various counties at extremely low prices.

This set of books is called "Qi Min Yao Shu First Edition".

Liu Jian knew that it was only by him alone that he worked hard to promote various technologies of the Han Dynasty... especially agricultural technology, no matter how powerful he was, his influence and radiation were still limited after all.

But the power of knowledge and books is endless.

Especially agricultural knowledge, if it can be widely disseminated through the form of books and benefit farmers, it will be excellent for this nation.

Of course, most of the peasant households in this era were illiterate, but almost all the peasant households were supported by gentry or wealthy families.

As long as someone in these big clans has mastered the knowledge of Qi Min's essential skills, even if it is just to popularize the knowledge to the farmers in their own manor, sooner or later other ordinary farmers will also be able to get the information, but the speed will be relatively slow.

In this way, the agricultural technology of the Han Dynasty will reach a new height as it accumulates over time, gradually accumulating and gradually developing.

In this way, as time goes by, more and more people can have enough to eat, and more and more people are willing to have children after having enough to eat. After the population increases, the productivity will gradually increase.

In this aspect of knowledge dissemination, Liu Jian will not be stingy.

He hopes that in the next few years, "Qi Min Yao Shu" will be continuously improved, reprinted and reprinted, and the methods of excellent farming and seed selection will be continuously improved to popularize people's livelihood.

Second edition, third edition, fourth edition.

The more publications, the faster the agricultural knowledge changes and the wider the spread.

……

After the farming affairs in Youzhou were smoothed out, Liu Jian began to smooth out the profit distribution of the endless mining industry.

There is no doubt that the mining industry is state-owned, and the Animal Husbandry Department has complete dominance. This is a certainty.

Now it includes post-production operations such as iron smelting, coal production and distribution.

These require the participation of people from the major families in Youzhou.

The interest chain is re-divided, so that a group of new dignitaries will be created in Youzhou, and at the same time, a group of old dignitaries will decline.

But so what?

Isn't the era constantly changing under such circumstances?

Besides, even if the old nobles were dissatisfied, would they dare to say no to their faces?

After the great cleansing after Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion, which family still exists in Youzhou, who dares to face Liu Jian's edge? ?
Everything is under the control of the government headed by Liu Jian.

But during the division of interests this time, Gongsun Zan and Guan Yu recommended someone to Liu Jian.

An unexpected person for Liu Jian.

"A member of the Liaodong Wen family, Wen Chou has seen General Zuo!"

After hearing the gentle man in front of him report his name, Liu Jian was stunned.

Never expected that the last person in Hebei Sitingzhu would appear under such circumstances.

Yan Liang, Zhang He, and Gao Lan have all entered the urn.

But until today, this Wen Chou just slowly jumped out.

"Wen Jun is here, how late is it?"

Wen Chou didn't understand the meaning of Liu Jian's words. Instead, he thought that Liu Jian was deliberately using these words to make things difficult for him, so he said: "Wen has kept his father's filial piety for a year. After thinking about it, he would like to belong to the general's account. If you ask for leave, the general will not accept it." Remember the grudges first, after all, I am from the Liaodong Wen family, and my ancestors are all former officials of the Yuan family, so I have to draw a line with the general, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

"Old official of the Yuan family?" After hearing Wen Chou's words, Liu Jian was taken aback for a moment, and then understood.

Think about it too, as Yuan Shao's famous general in history, like Yan Liang, Wen Ugly, how could his family not have some relationship with Yuan Shao's family?
This Wen Chou has never appeared, presumably because of this relationship, he has been watching the situation in Hebei, and dare not easily go against Yuan's wishes, and come to his subordinates to help in the battle.

Seeing that Liu Jian was puzzled, Guan Yu walked to his side.

"The Wen family is also a wealthy family in Liaodong. When I was the captain of the country in Liaodong, I wooed his family a lot. It is only Wen Jun's father. He used to be an old official of Yuan Kai's family. I only think of Yuan's children in my heart. I would like to invite everyone to vote, and my younger brother will not force each other. Now that Wen Jun’s father has been dead for many years, Wen Jun is the new father-in-law. He understands the current situation, so I would like to join the whole family.”

　The disease is not completely cured, but it is estimated that it is almost the same, and today it is also a two-in-one
