Generally speaking, wherever the master is, the office is located.
In the past, when Sima Yuan was in control of Xuchang, he heard that Wang Feibao was coming, so he quickly went north and moved to Puyang.
During his life, he also used Linqiu and Fan counties as his administrative offices, which can be said to be numerous.
Shao Xun's current administrative office has been moved to Jinmenwu.
After getting up in the morning to practice martial arts, he went back to the bedroom to deal with official correspondence. He saw his daughter Hui Wan coming to play with him. He accidentally tripped on the floor tiles and almost fell. He felt a shiver in his heart and quickly sent his daughter to the outside and handed it over to Sima Mao. .
After returning to the bedroom, I stepped on the brick hard for a long time. Then I felt relieved and reviewed the military report about Hebei.
Pei Lingyan and Sima Maoyao were in the kitchen.
Sima Mao did not do anything, just watched. She was not in the habit of serving others.
In fact, Pei Lingyan didn't, but Shao Xun behaved well these two days and reluctantly made him some soup cakes.
Jinmenwu has excellent defense, but the living space is narrow and very uncomfortable.
For example, this kitchen, reserved solely for the owner of the castle, is located on the cliff edge on the westernmost side. Through the window, you can directly see the deep stream below.
The stream is filled with water and is connected to Luoshui River. It seems that it has been artificially widened and dredged, because there are many piles on the other side of the deep stream - dung piles?
After Simimao saw it, he directly covered his nose with disgust on his face.
Pei Lingyan was also uncomfortable, but she didn't show it and continued to cook the meal seriously.
Halfway through the journey, a lot of people gradually appeared outside the deep stream. They dragged the wet mud from unknown sources and mixed it with the feces, and the stench suddenly filled the sky.
"This is the method that Lang Jun implemented many years ago." Pei Lingyan skillfully cut the thin dough into two-finger-long noodles and said casually: "Didn't your village learn from it?"
Simiao Yao shook his head.
Her current village is quite big. It includes the manor near Gongzhupi on the northern edge of Guangchengze, as well as the forests, lakes, pastures and fields attached to Suyu Palace. There are four to five thousand villagers. This is still the fiefdom of the princess of Wuyang County. After giving it all to Shao Xun and placing the soldiers in the palace, the property is not generally large.
The princess is a smart person and knows who the orphans and widowers rely on to keep so much property, so even though she was angry at some of Shao Xun's actions, she still softened when Shao Xun hugged her last night.
Of course, she now has an extra layer of insurance.
That bitch man cares very much about his daughter and dotes on her beyond measure. He will definitely pay attention to Guang Chengze for a long time. In fact, there might even be someone from him in Suyu Palace.
"Lang Jun has been recommending it for many years, and has learned it in some places in Henan, and the results are good." Pei Lingyan said: "The mud is mixed with manure and composted, and the system is made three times in two years. These two items alone have greatly benefited the people of Henan."
Simiao Yao doesn't care much about this.
She only felt that Mr. Pei had been following Shao Xun for a long time, and gradually changed. He opened his mouth and closed his mouth to the people, as if his perspective was different.
A horse's neighing sounded outside the window.
Sima Mao looked subconsciously and saw people riding horses on the gentle slopes of the hills not far away, driving cattle and sheep to graze on the hillsides.
It was already autumn, the grass was withered and yellow, but the livestock were all fat and strong.
Autumn is high and horses are fat, autumn is high and horses are fat, will the Xiongnu take the opportunity to launch an attack?
Thinking of this, she sighed.
She is a refined egoist, lives a luxurious and elegant life, and never considers these troublesome things.
The sky is falling because there is a man holding it up. She just needs to coax the man, give him money, serve him with her body when necessary, and satisfy his vanity of turning into a soldier slave and sleeping with a princess. But after hanging around for so long, she actually
I unconsciously started thinking about military and political affairs, it was so boring...
****
The Xiongnu did launch an attack, but the scale was very small, with only three to four thousand men. They descended from Danzhu Mountain and entered Xuushi County unimpeded, but failed and left again.
The Huns soldiers from the direction of Zhiguan also dispatched.
After hearing the news, the Heiji army on the Yewang side gathered 3,000 soldiers, supplemented by 3,000 light cavalry recruited from the army, and formed an array to fight in the field, defeating the enemy by the Qinshui River.
Wang Mi sent troops to harass Baichaowu, but the imperial army repulsed them.
The scale of the three wars was not large, and I don’t know what the Huns were thinking. In Shao Xun’s opinion, it was more like performance art led by Liu Yao, Liu Xian, and Wang Mi—perhaps they wanted to consume some food.
mouth?
When Pei Lingyan came in with soup cakes, he had just dropped the news about the unrest in Hebei: it had basically been calmed down.
"Are the Huns coming again?" she asked softly.
"Yes." Shao Xun said: "The nearest bandit army came out from Xia Shi Fort and attacked Baichaowu. Huang Biao led the crowd to repel it."
"Xiaoshi Castle..." Pei Lingyan was stunned for a moment.
This was the time when the Pei family was diversifying risks. The Wubao built by the Zhimai tribe in Hongnong was quite old. Except for the initial group of tribal generals from Hedong, it later grew and grew mainly by absorbing refugees. Even
The sergeants of Sima Mo's army collapsed and the Luoyang Forbidden Army absorbed many of them.
There are about 2,000 households now, but they have been deeply controlled by Wang Mi. I heard that the person currently stationed at Xia Shi Fort is a member of the Wang Mi tribe, Liu Hanya gatekeeper Wang Yan - the same name as the deceased uncle.
Shao Xun slowly ate the soup cake.
Hua Nu prepared snacks for him a lot of times, but the number of times he cooked them was really only a handful, no more than three times in my memory, so this meal was really delicious.
Pei Lingyan had already sat down over there, frowned and thought for a while, then sighed softly: "Don't expect too much from the Pei family to help you."
Shao Xun hummed and continued eating.
After all these years, it’s time to see the Pei family’s style clearly.
Since the family suffered heavy losses in the early days of the Eight Kings Rebellion and all the prominent members of the family were wiped out, the family has become very conservative as a whole. Except for a few people who defected to various parties with the family's acquiescence, the family itself has hardly participated in any disputes.
A while ago, his third brother Shao Fan gave him a list of officials in the Pingyang court, but he was surprised to only see the names of two people from the Pei clan on the last page. They were both minor officials of the seventh or eighth rank.
There is also only one member of the Liu clan, the youngest brother of the Pei family, who is an eighth-rank official.
The other younger brother, Mr. Xue, has none.
There are quite a few Song families in Xihe, some of whom have reached the fourth or fifth rank, forming a sharp contrast with the Pei, Liu, and Xue families.
But the problem is that they rarely come to Luoyang or Bianliang to serve as officials.
It was only with the strong rise of Shao Xun in the past few years and Pei Kang's active contact that the Pei family increased their investment in Bianliang and tried to regain some of their disadvantages through marriage and alliance with the Wang family.
It can be seen that they want to actively plan, but it is difficult for the ship to turn around, and the people who have the power to speak in the family have conservative ideas. They can increase their efforts to win over this family, but Shao Xun feels that maybe only if he truly defeats the Huns, they can
Will actively come to you.
"The soup cakes are good." Shao Xun praised with satisfaction after eating.
Pei Lingyan handed him another bowl of tea soup.
Shao Xun took it and rinsed his mouth, and said: "I'm going back in a few days, okay?"
"Yeah." Pei Lingyan responded softly.
What else is not satisfying?
In the past four months, most of the time at night it was just the two of them, hugging each other and talking to each other before falling asleep.
As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I could see him lying next to me, and I felt a sense of peace of mind and satisfaction filling my chest.
He is doing big things, and sooner or later he will return to Bianliang, among thousands of troops, leaping on his horse, waving his whip, and looking around in all directions.
She is satisfied.
After the man finished rinsing his mouth, she packed up the tableware and left, leaving the man some quiet space to be alone.
Zhang Bin waited outside for a long time. After seeing Pei Lingyan leaving with the tableware, he went inside and saluted.
"Sit down, Meng Sun. Have you read the military reports?" Shao Xun asked.
"I saw it." Zhang Bin nodded calmly, his eyes calm and without any fluctuations.
"How to deal with Boling Cui?"
"Cui finally sent out troops. There was a small mistake but no serious evil, so he should be given a lighter punishment." Zhang Bin said.
"What's the way to send it off?"
"Relocating their tribesmen, some Zhuangke people moved south, scattered and resettled them." Zhang Bin said: "The vacated land was given to Boling County as public land. Let them hand over a few people and that's it."
In short, hand over a few scapegoats, punish everyone and land.
"Is it possible to lower Boling Cui's family status and give him a minor surname?" Shao Xun asked.
Zhang Bin thought for a while and said: "Yes."
In the short term, the loss caused by death, punishment, and land acquisition will be greater. In the long term, the loss caused by the reduction of family status will be even greater. Because this means that the starting point for the Boling Cui family to become an official is lower than that of others.
The lower the family, the fewer the quota.
Of course, the loss of population and land is also painful, as this is the foundation of the family.
In comparison, Qinghe Cui is more docile.
On the day when the prefect Yang Dan sent out troops, they provided two thousand soldiers and a large amount of food and grass, and sent tribesmen to help stabilize the situation, which was a great contribution.
The overall performance was slippery, even if Shao Xun wanted to touch them, he couldn't find an excuse.
Some people may ask why Shao Xun wants to touch Qinghe Cui.
The reason is not complicated. During the turmoil in Hebei, the wealthy families did not end up. The ones who danced the loudest were local tycoons, homeless commanders and some small and medium-sized noble families. It was simply unbelievable.
But Shao Xun didn't believe that the wealthy families in Hebei were so innocent. They must be behind it, but they couldn't find any concrete evidence. Lu Zhi also repeatedly insisted that there should be no more chaos in Hebei, and it was most important to calm down the situation quickly and start autumn sowing, because
This year's autumn harvest has been greatly affected and the losses have been huge.
Finally he agreed.
Killing people randomly without a reason is not his style, and it goes against his original intention of establishing order - if you want others to abide by the rules, you can't take the lead in destroying them, right?
"All the men of the Suqiu clan were killed, and the female relatives were brought into Yeting as slaves." Shao Xun said: "The Dingkou of his tribe gave some of the generals who went to the army as rewards, and the rest were sent to Xingyang, compiled
Every household should be equalized for the people. You can draw up a detailed plan on how to distribute it."
"Yes." Zhang Bin responded.
"Send people to western Liaoning and ask them to hand over Liu Kun. The Liu family in Zhongshan, and all those who participated in the rebellion will be killed. The rest of the people should be convicted and relocated. In short, I don't want to see the Liu family still in Zhongshan. This matter -
"Leave it to Liu Ling to supervise the matter." Shao Xun said as he patted the official letter on the desk.
Liu Kun recruited thousands of people to defend Zhongshan, but of course it would not last long.
Under the command of Li Zhong, Liu Mi, Gao Jiang, Liu Hezhu, Liu Ling, Yang Dan, Tao Bao, Zhi Xiong and other troops besieged and quickly put it down.
Liu Kun escaped at night and heard that he had defected to Murong Xianbei.
But the monk who was able to escape could not escape from the temple. Although many people from the Liu family in Zhongshan held oxen and wine to welcome Master Wang with a respectful attitude, it was a pity that it was too late!
Shao Xun originally wanted to take the opportunity to clean up Hebei, but he seized the opportunity and the handle. How could he let it go?
The wealthy and powerful clan of the Zhongshan Liu clan is completely over. Even if some of the clan members are retained, they will be scattered and resettled in various places, and they will no longer be able to exist as a big family as a whole.
In addition to these two things, Li Chong also sent people to Tianchang Town to build the city, and defeated Shi Le's army that came to attack, and the construction was successfully completed in mid-September.
So far, Hebei is basically fine.
Natural disasters, invasion by foreign enemies, and the instigation of careerists to implement the system of external honorary officials are the main causes of unrest in Hebei.
With the collapse of the Liu family in Zhongshan, this time the political crisis in Hebei is finally over.
The implementation of reforms was truly accomplished at the cost of blood.
People in Hebei dared to openly resist, but people in Henan didn't resist much, but stayed silent, which made Shao Xun happy but also a little disappointed.
"Every year goes by so fast. Pack your bags, it's time to go back." Shao Xun said after taking a look at the autumn leaves falling outside the window.
At the end of September, after inspecting Tanshan dock, he parted ways with Simu Mao and his daughter Huiwan. Then he led his troops eastward and arrived at Jingu Garden on the tenth day of October.
He was too lazy to go to the city to see the emperor and directly met with the main courtiers headed by Taiwei Wang Yan in the royal manor.
