In early July, the mission that returned to Shannan from Yecheng and the angels sent to Shannan to announce the imperial edicts of the imperial court, after a long journey, finally arrived at the Anzhou Prefecture Land. The angels brought a lot of good news, which made the officials of Shannan Prefecture and County excited.

In the war last year, the soldiers who have made meritorious service needed rewards from the court. Those who should be promoted should be promoted, those who should be awarded the title will be promoted, those who should be awarded the title will be promoted, and those who have made meritorious service will be promoted, and those who have vacant positions will be added to others. As the saying goes, "Water flowing water will not corrupt, and the household hinges will not be corrupt." If you have promotion and hope to win a wife and a son, you will be motivated to serve the country.

Shannan Prefectures and County were actually the leader of Taiyu Wen Liang, the major businessman of Shannan Road. The corresponding rewards made last year naturally cannot be delayed until this year. However, with the will of the court, some rewards are justified.

Especially for titles, the emperor must use the seal of imperial edicts to make a number. For promotions of officials of the same rituals and above, they must have the jade seal stamped to be stamped with real money and silver. There are also changes in the position of governors of various states. The main arrangements were made before the establishment, but the list had to be drawn up afterwards and the court asked for official confirmation.

In addition to good news such as official positions and titles, the mission back to the return also brought a large number of horses allocated by the court, including military horses and horses. Although it was only the first batch, and subsequent horses would have to be transferred in batches, it also made the soldiers in Shannan very excited.

There is no good horse farm in the south of the mountain, and it is not a horse-producing land. It was previously isolated from the imperial court roads. No matter how many horses used by the military and civilians can only reproduce on their own. The quantity is not mentioned, and the quality is also poor.

After years of war, many war horses have suffered losses, and they have lost money and won the battle and can be supplemented from the capture. However, this will never be a problem. Now the imperial court has allocated a large number of horses, which can be said to have solved the urgent problem.

At the same time, there is also a large amount of salt. Shannan also does not produce salt and must be transported from other places. It was previously smuggled by salt merchants to barely meet the needs of Shannan prefectures and counties. The imperial court transferred salt and horses this time, which made the military and civilians in various places yearning for the imperial court much stronger.

Under a lot of good news, Bazhou under the Huangzhou General Administration was also in full swing. The soldiers who made meritorious services attracted official rewards from the court. As the governor of Bazhou who was on his way to Yecheng, Yuwen Wen, the governor of Xiyang County, bought a lot of things out of his own pocket in Yecheng, and transported them back to Bazhou.

There was a team of horse-drawn carriages parked outside the gate of the Xiyang County Duke Mansion. Jiangui Liu, who had just arrived, was talking to the mansion manager Li Sanjiu. Jiangui Liu returned to Bazhou with the team, and was responsible for escorting the goods and horses bought by the Xiyang County Duke. Now, he has traveled thousands of miles for more than a month and finally arrived in Xiyang City safely.

"Mrs. and family members are all in the manor. First, send the gifts that the mansion has prepared for the wife. Let's report to the wife after the others are counted." Li Sanjiu said. Seeing Manager Liu's dusty appearance, he asked with concern: "Shopkeeper Liu has worked hard all the way."

"It's just a matter of duty." Manager Liu waved his hand. He thought for a while and added: "Buyer Li, the books Xu Biejia and Hao Zhizhong are loading separately. Do you want to send them to the state yamen first?"

"Send someone to the state yamen. Hao Biejia should have not moved out yet, so the letter from the county magistrate Xu was troubled by Hao Biejia."

Manager Liu was a little stunned when he heard this. Seeing this, Li Sanjiu explained briefly: At the beginning of this month, Daxingtai had ordered the establishment of Badong County in the area east of Bashui, with the county governing Badong City (formerly Bahe City). The first county magistrate was Xu Shao, the former Bazhou detachment master, and Hao Wu Bo took over the position of Badong.

"So that's it. The envoy is right. When we return to Bazhou from Yecheng, we will find that there is a big change."

"Where are the seeds I bought? Is it loaded separately? Is it sent directly to the manor. Manager Zhang received them there, and the book was unloaded here. Where are the horses? Did Manager Fifteen accept them?" Li Sanjiu asked. The Langzhu spent a lot of money to buy more than 2,000 horses, so he could not make any mistakes.

"One thousand one hundred war horses, one thousand two hundred horses, God blessed me, there was no one missing along the way. The fifteenth supervisor has led people to take them and taken them to the horse farm."

Li Sanjiu felt a little relieved when he heard this. Although he did not take care of the horses, the man's master valued horses very much. Shannan did not produce horses, and the court allocated more horses, so his man's man took different ways to get the horses.

"Manager Li, this is the seed packaged by the envoy. It is said that it is the flowers and plants in the imperial garden. One is a white fold and one is a beautiful man. You must try planting it in the mansion garden first." Manager Liu handed a wooden box to Li Sanjiu, and attached a piece of paper for signing for collection.

"The envoy said this is precious, so try to plant a part of the seeds first." Manager Liu suddenly lowered his voice and whispered in Li Sanjiu's ear: "The envoy told me that no seed is allowed to flow out."

Li Sanjiu nodded, picked up the wooden box, confirmed that the seal was not damaged, and signed it for it, and then put it in the arms. Since the manger had given an order, he must firmly implement it. Seeing a string of wooden boxes full of carriages being unloaded one by one and carried it into the mansion, he sighed: "So many are so-called full of feasts..."

In a yard in the mansion, servants walked over with boxes and entered the room to put them in. The room was filled with wooden boxes. Zhang Ke and Du Di Jun led a few people to unbox the boxes and checked them continuously. There were books inside, and Zhang Ke was soon attracted by books.

"It's Hualin... Hualin is full of... This is Volume 516, Jiangling can't be seen!" Zhang Ke showed joy on his face. He looked through it carefully for a moment, and almost couldn't let it go.

"It's really "Hualin Bianluo"?" Di Jun was happy when he heard this. He came over and picked up a book in the wooden box. After reading it for a while, he smiled and said, "What my father never forgets is this "Hualin Bianluo". There are still more than 160 volumes of books in his home..."

Zhang Ke picked up the list, looked carefully and said excitedly: "Six hundred and twenty volumes are all, all!"

"Zhang Jun, Wu Di Jun, please check the books first. If the number is right, it will not be too late to read them." A person next to him reminded that he was the guard of the mansion and came back from Yecheng with Manager Liu. He is now handing over the books he purchased. If there is any mistake during the warehouse entry, everyone will not read them well.

"Yes, go to the warehouse first, go to the warehouse first."

Zhang Ke and Di Jun nodded. Today's first priority is to check the books bought from Yecheng into the warehouse. Anyway, the books are there, so it's okay to read them later. Yuwen Wen bought these books and wanted to let people read them.

Zhang Ke's sister Zhang is the empress of the Liang Dynasty Emperor Xiao Kui, and the daughter of Queen Zhang, Xiao Jiuniang. Now it is Yuwen Wen's side room. Last year, Zhang Ke returned to Liang State after suffering. When Empress Zhang learned that her daughter was far away in Bazhou, she sent two palace maids to Bazhou with Zhang Ke to take care of Xiao Jiuniang as her family.

Two palace maids are now serving Xiao Jiuniang, while Zhang Ke, who is his uncle, lives in the side yard of the Duke of Xiyang County, and is appointed by Yuwen Wen as the military officer of Tian Cao in Bazhou. This time, Yuwen Wen went to Yecheng and made arrangements before leaving. Zhang Ke and the military officer Di Jun were responsible for "inspection of goods".

Zhang Ke came from a scholarly family, and Di Jun was supervised by his father, Di Shiwen, since childhood and also liked to study. These two people who joined the army were relatively knowledgeable scholars in Bazhou City, so they were invited by Yuwen Wen to help.

"Zhang Chengjun, Wu Di joins the army, and the books have been moved in. Please check it slowly."

Looking at the wooden boxes all over the room and looking at the other two rooms in the yard, Zhang Ke rubbed his temples, sighed to Di Jun, and said softly: "This is a lot of sweat..."

......

In the east of Xiyang City and on the east of Bashui, several carriages stopped in a house. Hao Wu, who had been promoted to another driver, got off the car and greeted Xu Shao, who was welcomed: "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"

"The Shangguan came to the humble house and was so bright." Xu Shao smiled. He is now a county official, and Hao Wubo is an assistant to the state, so he has this joke.

"Hey, I personally escorted the books I bought from Yuwen as soon as I was sent to the state yamen. There are so many books, so many of them are so popular." Hao Wu Bo pointed to the cars behind him and said, "There are all the books you want to buy in the book list you have listed, and there is one more set. Guess what it will be?"

Xu Shao pondered for a moment when he heard this, then asked tentatively: "It can't be "Hualin Bianluo", right?"

"It's "Hualin Bianluo", 620 volumes, a lot of each volume!"

"Seriously, which car is it in?" Xu Shao showed joy. "Hualin Bianluo" was compiled by Xiao Yan, Emperor Xiao of the Southern Dynasty. It was an important book of books. After it was written, it became popular in the north and south. However, during the Hou Jing Rebellion more than 30 years ago, many official collections were damaged, and it was difficult to make up the complete set of 620 volumes on the hand-copied books on the market.

"Well, in the state yamen, I will lend it to me for a few days first, and I will return it to you after the commission has been copied."

"When will you copy six hundred and twenty volumes?"

"It will take at least half a month for the twelve people to copy."

"Don't you have it? Just take out the missing few volumes and copy them, and I'll give the others back to me!"

"I'm missing more than 180 volumes. My father sent someone to search for Jiankang Bookstore for a long time but couldn't get it all. Anyway, I've copied it, so I've just copied it enough. You're busy now, so I'll read it in half a month."

The two walked and talked about entering Xu Shao's new mansion. Since they took office in Bazhou, they have been living in the prefecture yamen. Now Xu Shao is the newly established county magistrate of Badong County, so they moved to Bahe City, which has been renamed Badong City. Hao Wu Bo has also set up a house in Xiyang City and is preparing to move out of the prefecture yamen.

Since Yuwen Wen became the governor of Bazhou, nearly two years have passed, the situation has changed significantly: the rank of Bazhou has increased and a county will be divided. This thing that began to be brewed at the beginning of the year has now become a reality with the issuance of the order from the Daxingtai.

According to the Zhou Dynasty system, if there are more than 10,000 households in a state but less than 20,000 households, it is Zhengqiming Prefecture. The original households of Bazhou exceeded 10,000, but less than 20,000 households. Later, thousands of households moved to Wuchang County, Chen State. Many families of Hulin Army soldiers and navy soldiers came to settle down. Now, the number of households in Bazhou has exceeded 20,000.

The number of households in the state exceeds 20,000, which is the eight-destiny state. The rank of the governor has been promoted from the seventh-destiny to the eight-destiny state. The rank of the state assistants, Sima, Silu, and Biejia has been upgraded to one level, and Badong County is divided on the east bank of the Bashui River, with the county seat (formerly Bahe City).

The first magistrate of Badong County was Xu Shao, the former Bazhou deputy leader. The households under Bahe County were nearly 4,000 but less than 5,000. According to the Zhou system, Bahe County was the five-life county, and the county magistrate Xu Shao was the first to be in charge of the five-life county.

The county officials include the county magistrate (the second fate), the county magistrate Bo (the second fate), etc. In addition to the county magistrate appointed as the governor, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were promoted by the county magistrate. Xu Shao is now officially the official of his parents and educates the people of a county.

Badong County governs the area east of Bashui and builds a city on the east bank of the upper reaches of Bashui. It is the city of Shangba River, which houses the people and migrated mountain people. The county soldiers are composed of soldiers from the Hulin Army who have been removed from the army and the residents of Badong City (Bahe City), responsible for defending the city and protecting the people.

There are new residents in Badong County, namely the surrendered Chen army prisoners.

Last year, thousands of Chen army soldiers were captured to Bazhou, Jiangbei. Most of these prisoners were recruited people. They worked as coolies in Bazhou for more than a year, but their fate was not to be coolies until they were exhausted.

Yuwen Wen, the governor of Bazhou, set a rule that those who perform well can have two choices: go home or divide the fields in Bazhou and settle down.

In June this year, the river embankment on the north bank of Santai River was completed. According to the reward and punishment regulations, more than 900 prisoners of Chen army had the opportunity to do the multiple-choice questions. In the end, more than 500 people stayed and became the people of Zhou and settled in Bahe County, Bazhou.

They got the land and houses as they wished. With this condition, the matchmakers flocked to the door again to match the daughters of the surrounding people who were about to marry.

A group of coolies escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, and new coolies were added. In the vast Dabie Mountains, Tian Yunshan, the culprit who stole Yiyang County, was still "out of justice". The righteous soldiers from all sides pursued them relentlessly, and the result was that a large number of young and strong people were continuously transported.

Among these young and strong people, some were the village people who were "incidentally attached" to the village, so they had to work as a laborer to "atonate their sins", while others were afraid of the "misunderstanding" of the soldiers. They surrendered to the government under the leadership of the village leader and were willing to go out to settle down.

The former type of people all switched to building water conservancy as coolies, while the latter type was a different matter, and they settled the prefectures and counties, opened up land and farmed land and paid rent and transferred, and became a good citizen of the Zhou State.

"In less than two years, Bazhou has more than 10,000 households, and the cultivated land has been reclaimed several times. The water conservancy ditches and river embankments have been built, and countless wastelands are about to turn into fertile fields. It is really unbelievable." Hao Wu Bo sighed.

"Since Hao Biejia is so emotional, it is better to write a poem, and the lower officials will definitely give an essay." Xu Shao smiled. Hao Wu Bo has been promoted to the position of the provincial government. Taking advantage of the east wind of the state rank, he became Zheng Si Bijia. Although he was not as good as his Zheng Wuyan County Magistrate, he was a provincial official after all, so he made such a joke.

"How about it, let me be your county magistrate. I will work hard for two years to double the number of households and arable land in Badong County."

"Don't, if you come to be the county magistrate, Shiwang would be blamed for misleading your future." Xu Shao smiled and shook his head, "There are mostly provincial soldiers and Hulin soldiers in Bahe City, and there are no one to stumbling about it. The affairs of the county magistrate are much easier to handle."

"I can't figure it out. Someone actually chose to retire from the country. Is this just ambition?" Hao Wu Bo was a little helpless. A group of soldiers in the Hulin Army would have been "retired" recently, and he felt it was a bit incredible.

If you are rich, what great things can you become!

"Everyone has their own ambitions. The envoy said that the forced melon is not sweet. Anyway, they are also settled here. It would be more appropriate to help defend the city if there is any war."

Looking at the direction of the Hulin Army’s barracks, Hao Wu Bo said with some concern: “I’m retiring again and redirecting backbones. This time, there is such a big change, and I don’t know if the Hulin Army has been emptied…”
Chapter completed!
