The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 8

From the funeral in Guan Tong's empty coffin to the expiration of the filial piety period in March, it took about 80 days.During this time, Guan Yi was very busy.

Building your own shogunate is a very important thing.In the past, Guan Yi and Liao Hua thought that the Guan family had been in decline for so long, and there might not be many people willing to follow them.So there are about three or five people expected to be satisfied.Who knew that something was wrong-the emperor wanted to set a benchmark for young people to strive for progress.The Jingzhou faction wants to use this to cleanse the Yuancong faction and the Jingzhou faction's children for not being practical and enjoying the notoriety of being noble and lucrative.The Dongzhou faction and the Yizhou faction hope that this is the beginning of the Jingzhou faction and the Yuancong faction giving up high-ranking officials and generous salaries.Therefore, all the forces in the rare Shu Han were happy to see Guan Yi's departure from Zhiwai County.Therefore, with the help of various forces, Guan Yi's shogunate was suddenly overcrowded.

Since the Taoyuan trio, the Guan and Zhang families have had 70 years of friendship.So when Zhang Shao pulled Zhang Zun to Guan Yi.No matter how upset Guan Yi was, she had to put on a smiling face, and said that brothers could break gold if they were united.The original plan for Liao Hua to send a senior military veteran to serve as the captain of Fuling County was of course interrupted.

Compared with the Zhang family, the relationship between the Guan family and the Zhao family is a little shallower.But it's only a little shallow.So when Zhao Yi was led by Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang.Guan Yi had to force a smile again, and thanked the two uncles for their love, Guowei (Zhao Yi's word) brothers for their help, Fuling County's inadequacy and other nonsense.Then, originally planned to ask General Jiang Weisuo to ask for a logistics civil servant to hold the position of the capital official, and gave it to Zhao Yi, who was just 20 years old (false age).

The Jane family has always been known for being unreliable.When Jian Yong was alive, unless Zhuge Liang was present, no matter what the occasion, Jian Xianhe would always be sitting or standing.Now this characteristic is obviously carried forward by the descendants of the Jian family.Looking at a pair of lazy and unrestrained simple Jian Wushuang children's shoes.With tears streaming down her face, Guan Yi gave him the most important position of persuading farmers to take up this feudal society.

In addition, Sun Qian's grandson Sun Gang and Sun Dinglie.This guy doesn't look so mighty on his face, but he can tell by his frighteningly pale skin that he is a typical waste material.Alright, alright, just be my master.

So nepotism is a no-brainer.Look at you guys in your twenties, you don't have any real experience.Relying on the shadow of my ancestors.Just occupied the four most important positions in Laozi's hands, the commander of the garrison area, the director of the personnel bureau, the director of the development and production committee, and the director of the office!
I didn't go to farm to prepare for reversing Cao Wei!I'm going out to take refuge!What do you know?A lot of young masters swarmed over, is it really an outing?
In addition to the bunch of sons and gentlemen above, there are actually talents who really do things.

Following Liu Chan's will, Chen Chen prepared talents for Guan Yi.Chen Yu, who is actually very capable in politics, recommended Shang Shulang Li Mi to Guan Yi.He is the creator of "Standing Alone and Standing Alone" in later generations.This master was a famous minister of the Western Jin Dynasty.Known for his uprightness.Guan Yi asked him to be a postal supervisor (the head of the procuratorate).

As the guardian of the offspring of the Guan family, Liao Hua naturally couldn't fall behind.Liao Yong, the hometown general who had followed him for many years, was sent.This grandfather is 65 years old this year.Last year, in such a tragic place in Duangu, I struggled to get out.Guan Yi hired him to work as a soldier in the prefect's mansion (Minister of the Armed Forces).

General Jiang Wei felt very guilty towards the Guan family.So this time, I also reluctantly recommended the characters in my entrainment.When Guan Yi received this famous post, she was really frightened.Because this person is called Chen Shou!
Well, the author of "Three Kingdoms".Then be a reporter (Secretary-General).

In this way, there is already a small team of seven people.However, in Guan Yi's jigsaw puzzle, there is still one person missing.

Again, this master is still full of thoughts of going out to avoid disaster.There is no noble sentiment to save the country from peril.But this does not prevent him from wanting to make Fuling County a better place——Yu Gong said that if Fuling County is made better, after the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty, he will also have the capital to be an official in the court.Personally speaking, if this place is done well, I can also save some private money.

The Fuling County of the Shu Han Dynasty is not the Fuling District of Chongqing today.In fact, many place names have been transferred in Chinese history (1).Fuling County in the Shu-Han era had jurisdiction over five counties: Fuling, Danxing, Hanping, Wanning, and Hanfu.The county seat was in Fuling (now Pengshui County, Chongqing City).Its geographical scope is roughly equivalent to the former Qianjiang area of ​​Sichuan Province before Chongqing was directly under the Central Government.

This place is not strictly a good place.

In the feudal society of ancient China, one of the most basic evaluation factors to judge whether a place was good or not was: whether there was enough arable land suitable for the development of agriculture in this place.

Unfortunately, all areas of Fuling County are located in the Wuling Mountains.Flat land still exists, but very few.

In southern China, the main staple food crop is rice.However, many places in southern China are not plains.In order to grow rice, ancient Chinese ancestors creatively used mountains as fields.A large number of terraced fields have been opened up.

It is still a pity that Fuling County does not even have the conditions to build large-scale terraced fields.

Because the mountains in this place come very steeply, and many mountains are as straight as a knife and an axe - such a slope of nearly 90 degrees cannot create terraced fields.In addition, here is the concentration of karst terrain.The soil layer is weak, and the rocks below are all limestone, which cannot hold water.Even if all the hard work is done to get the terraced fields out, it won't be long before all the water leaks from the ground.Still can't grow rice.

Well, the mountains in this place are basically hollow, but there are many karst caves, and it will be a famous tourist attraction in later generations.

But it is impossible for Guan Yi to develop the tourism economy in this era.

Moreover, this place is still inhabited by ethnic minorities.Now the Shu Han government collectively refers to the ethnic minorities in this place as Wuxi Man.But as a traveler, Guan Yi knows that the ethnic groups in this place include Tujia, Miao, Bai and other ethnic groups.And because the arable land in this place is extremely limited, in order to compete for the few living resources.The relationship between the Han people and the aborigines here is very tense.

Then why did Guan Yi choose this place?
The first, of course, is remote enough and far enough away from the CD.Safety.

Second, it borders the state of Wu, but due to traffic restrictions, let alone the two weak countries now face the mighty Cao Wei and must embrace each other to strengthen each other.Even if there is a military conflict between the two countries, it will not be the main battlefield here-that is the matter of Padang County.However, the restriction of military access does not prevent the entry and exit of ordinary individuals or small caravans.In case Pang will come here to hunt him down in the future - that is very possible.At worst, I will go to the country of Wu.Still for safety.

Third, it looks barren here on the surface.But in later generations, it is a famous alpine potato producing area in China.Laozi has the ability to reverse the embarrassment of food shortage here.

Finally, a very crucial point.On the surface, this place seems to have high mountains and inconvenient transportation, but in fact, in a sense, the transportation is more convenient than the CD plain: because there is a big river running through the whole county of Fuling County—Wujiang River.The registered population of Fuling County is less than [-], but they mainly live along the valleys on both sides of the Wujiang River.Just control Wujiang.Governance of this place is actually very easy.And once there is output, it is actually very easy to export it to make money.

To control Wujiang, you need the help of another prominent family in Shuhan.

Mi family.

Shu Han's navy is generally relatively weak.Not only is it inferior to Soochow, it is even inferior to Cao Wei.99% of the limited number of warships are under the command of Governor Yong'an - Governor Yong'an is stationed in Badong County, where the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is the first line of defense against Soochow's invasion.

Except for the navy of the Shu Han government, only the Mi family had a large-scale fleet.Over the past few decades, the Mi family has collected supplies in the Shu region under the official background, and then the fleet went down the river.The goods were sold well in Wu and Wei, and then the special products of Wu and Wei were shipped in Xiling, and CDs were sold back upstream.Earning that is a lot of money.If Guan Yi made some special products in Fuling County and wanted to sell them to make money, what she needed most was the Mi family's fleet.

It's a pity that the head of Mi's family only visited Guan Tong on the day of his funeral.Other times it's completely invisible.Now when everyone is trying their best to stuff people into his shogunate, the Mi family is actually silent.

"Hey, there's no other way. If the mountain doesn't come, I will. If only I go, then the mountain will go. There is no need for the Mi family to send people into the scene right now. We must make a good relationship first."

------Dividing line------

1. In Chinese history, the place names of many places have changed.There are often interesting stories about sons becoming Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu becoming sons.

Just take the three place name changes in Sichuan and Chongqing as examples:

Guanghan: Guanghan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county seat was in Guanghan County.After Liu Yan entered Shu, he moved the county government of Guanghan County to Luocheng.Later, the name of Luocheng became Guanghan.The original Guanghan County was renamed Shehong County.

Fuling: Fuling is named after the Wujiang River was called Fushui in ancient times, and the tombs of Ba kings are often buried here.During the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Cheng Han and the Eastern Jin repeatedly competed for Fuling County.The Eastern Jin Dynasty lost Fuling County.As a last resort, a new Fuling County was re-established in Zhixian County under his control.Therefore, the name of Zhixian County was changed to Fuling.The original Fuling County has a new name: Pengshui County.

Zigong: Originally, there was no such place name.Because salt is produced at the junction of Fushun County and Rong County.With the prosperity of the salt industry, the place where the two counties meet is even more prosperous than the two counties.During the period of the Republic of China, a city was established here.What is your name?It happens that there are two very famous salt wells here: Ziliu Well and Gong Well.So this new provincial city is called Zigong.Instead, Fushun and Rong counties became municipal counties of Zigong City.This is the famous son becomes Laozi, and Laozi becomes son.
