And outside Chang'an City, following the arrival of the department of the Metropolitan Government in Chang'an one after another; Luo Yin, as the director of missions, also stood on the slowly moving ox cart, looking at the magnificent building surrounded with emotion and expectation. Mingde Gate.
Although traces of the tall city walls and towers that have been affected by previous wars are still vivid, it is in the heart of Luo Yin, who has revisited the old place, adding a few distinctive cruel and magnificent and iron-blooded feelings.
Therefore, since he was here, he did not rush into the city anymore, but instead ordered the slow ox cart to stop; let Tanyu, one of the disciples of the Sanjue Seng Guanxiu who was accompanying him, spread ink on the spot. A picture of "Beijing Que".
Then he also felt it and made an impromptu account of "Changan Jiao Si":
"I heard that the emperor was like the emperor Xi, and Ouche's fishing village entered the emperor's township.
The fifth-class princes are old for no reason, and a branch of fairy osmanthus is windy and frosty.
The short flame of the lamp burns away from the sideburns, and it turns cold and drips intestines.
The unknown body is old, and the night is blue in the night. "
After a delay for a while, when he came to the new site reserved for the Beijing Normal University training center—the old house of Guo Ziyi, Qinrenfang, East Third Street, Zhuquemen East, near Faxiong Temple, which was renovated; reserved for many. In the courtyard of one of the official residences, it was already the evening scene at dusk.
As the number one sprayer/theoretician under the Metropolitan Government, he is also the director of missions to supervise the ideology of various places and promote culture and education; his daily daily life has always been quite simple and plain, and it is not a natural exaggeration. High profile person
Therefore, Luo Yin was quite satisfied with the slightly old place in front of him with moss marks on the wall. The layout was three rooms and four houses with two entrances inside and outside. In this way, as long as there are a few more servants who take turns, plus Yunying's mother and daughter who take care of daily life, they can live quite comfortably and comfortably.
With the improvement of all aspects of the Taiping Metropolitan Government House, his missionary director actually needs to worry about less and less general affairs, and he can focus more on collecting and compiling classics, studying theories and scholarship. .
On weekdays, I also communicated with old friends of monks, Taoists and Confucian scholars such as Guanxiu, Qiji, Shangyan, Xuzhong, Guanxiu, Yixin, Zaoguang, and Changdingzi in the form of reading and tea parties. Published some editorials to guide the Shilin culture, or refute the endless dissent and perverted theories.
But no matter how the environment and power changes, he is secretly called the "chief bachelor" of the Taiping Metropolitan Government, there is a law of life that is immovable and determined to remain unchanged. It is to take the guards regularly to the homes of the villages and the towns of the city to gather style and experience the various ways of life.
Only when he walked into the inner courtyard with Yunying's mother and daughter, he was a little surprised to see a young woman waiting in the hall. The other party dressed up as a maid, and lowered his eyebrows pleasingly to ask:
"The servant Zheng Ningqing, by the order of the service agency of the Office of Internal Affairs of the House, came to serve the officials..."
"Um... what does this mean?"
Suddenly Luo Yin frowned, and then his eyes widened as if feeling conscious.
"Wait, do you believe in Zheng? Is it from the Xingyang family..."
"Exactly, Zheng Xiang of the old dynasty was the slave's subordinate father. He was raised in the mansion since she was a child. Now the missing Zheng Shuqing (Zheng Tian's youngest daughter) is the slave's sister..."
The woman raised her head and said softly:
"Now that the Zheng family is ignorant of the Tianshu clan's defeat, thanks to the old dynasty's sins given to the servants and maidservants, a chance to atone for the sins of the slaves and maids; please don't care about and dislike it!"
Looking at the other party, Yingying bowed down and looked like tears. At this moment, Luo Yin just felt that he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that the other party's joke, "Even Zheng Tian's daughter, will still be a slave and maid" when he met the general governor at the beginning of the year, would be realized on the spot.
I think he was still that high-spirited young man, and the full of indignation and excitement he suffered in the dignified Zheng family has been gradually indifferent and forgotten over a long enough time; and now there is only a little ember style left. The nostalgia and melancholy.
However, the woman Yunying who followed behind her face changed slightly, but she immediately turned into a smile on her mouth, and she took the initiative to step forward and grab the opponent's hand: "Since it was sent by the Metropolitan Government, Then we have become a relationship serving Langjun together... I have grown idiotically these years, but I didn't expect to have a five-surname girl in the same room as long as I live..."
However, in the next moment, Luo Yin, who had already thought about it, swung his sleeves and left the inner courtyard. He came to a side penthouse in the outer courtyard, facing the guard team leader sent by the internal security department, which was on duty. The concierge of birth-Guo Si asked:
"What's going on... Is there any relationship that makes an exception for me?"
"If you return to Luojian, this is not a special exception for you, but a new internal policy pilot for the government..."
The young concierge Guo Sigong replied:
"New policy pilot? What is this rhetoric?"
Luo Yin was not so easily fooled, still staring at him with scorching eyes:
"The younger one only knows that it is the decisions and arrangements made at the governor’s house meeting. It is said that the governor’s house has received a lot of family members from the old dynasty. Many of them are lone widows and children, and most of them are from the clan of the old dynasty or related families with five surnames and seven hopes. ."
Guo Si was a little numb when he saw his scalp, but he restrained his mind and returned to Dao carefully:
"Compared with the men of the tribe who were traditionally exiled to the border, their generation is often unbearable for the long distance. Therefore, considering the insights and knowledge these women have cultivated in their existing homes, it is a waste of waste to squat in the border. ."
"Therefore, after repaying the governor's permission, I deliberately gave them a chance to serve and redeem themselves in the new dynasty; that is, to leave the house to do things for the governor's house, and to be self-reliant and think that they will be separated from the old past..."
"And this little Zheng lady is one of them, but she is a little bit reluctant because of her lack of expertise, so she can only be incorporated into the service agency for the time being to re-train. Therefore, I also asked Luo Jian to make a grievance for the time being, and be a good for the public. Set a good example."
"It's natural. If Luo Jian feels unsatisfactory, he will re-arrange others..."
Hearing this, Luo Yin couldn't help but sighed with mixed feelings. Then she turned her head and looked at the inner courtyard. Under the persuasion of Lady Yunying arm in arm, the young maid, Zheng Ningqing, who was holding back her tears and showing a little bit cramped and jerky, suddenly felt that she could not speak her refusal. coming.
"So, Zhaojian still accepts it..."
In the political affairs hall of the Imperial City University, Zhou Huaian also interestingly confirmed the result of this small episode beyond the busy schedule. Later, I saw Zhou Xiaoqi, the former attendant who was already one of the family officials on duty, and walked up to report in a low voice:
"Master, the search team has found the location of Lingxue Pavilion's cabinet in Taibai Mountain, and completed the suppression and control of the corresponding internal and external secret valleys..."
"Three hundred and sixty-seven people were beheaded on the spot, and five hundred and eighty-one people were captured; about a thousand people were paid in military assets and equipment; there were more than two hundred horses and horses, and the food and grass were enough for more than half a year... "
"it is good!!"
Zhou Huaian said in praise: Even before Zheng Tian was completely defeated, he did not forget to bury the Taiping Army with thunder; he actually left such a move.
Had it not been for Han Jiyue's account of Ling Xuege's past, Zhou Huaian would have moved the idea of ploughing the court to sweep the acupoints. After allowing such a force to lurch near Gyeonggi for a few months, it suddenly mobilized at the time of the autumn harvest. I'm afraid I don't know how much it will cause and how much it will cost to calm it down
"In addition, about a hundred children of various colors are still seized in it; the Yi (Da Mao) team that leads the team will not dare to be expert, but I ask the Governor to send it away..."
Zhou Xiaoqi spoke again:
"If this is the case, I will bring it back for good screening and placement."
Hearing this result, Zhou Huaian inevitably showed a bit of disgust. These remnants of the old dynasty are really unchangeable! Even at the end of the storm, I still want to play the way of cultivating dead men from an early age.
"As for the other captives after the interrogation, they should be dealt with on the spot according to the charges!"
Next, Zhou Huaian once again looked at several local data about Zhangtian Qingdo, but he frowned again and sighed. There are more than 100 counties in Kannai-do in the Tang Dynasty. Most of the arable land is concentrated in the Jingwei watershed around Gyeonggi-do.
Among them, the five prefectures of Gyeonggi Province account for about one-third of it, and there are 38 million acres of arable land, about 400,000 hectares; it is located at the intersection of the eight waters with relatively developed water conservancy facilities and a high degree of development. Ground.
Therefore, although river embankments and irrigation canals and sluices in various places have generally been damaged to varying degrees, the foundation accumulated over the years is still there. As long as it is settled down and repaired for a winter, it can be fully utilized.
The overall situation of Kannai Road is a bit more complicated. Although there are about 65 million mu, or about 630,000 hectares of land on the book, most of them are inferior dry land, slope land, mountain land, and grassland with lower yields. Only some small and medium river valleys have them. Decent irrigation facilities.
It can be said that for more than 300 years as the central hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, the perennial population growth demand and over-exploitation led to the loss of water and soil and the deterioration of the ecology. Nowadays, there are quite obvious signs. Therefore, the continuous famine in the late Tang Dynasty is the best portrayal.
Coupled with years of continuous military disasters, the population of the eleven states located in the plains of the hinterland of the Guannei area has been declining. Among them, there are only three to five thousand households, and the few are even seven to eight hundred households, and even a decent county town is not full.
Especially in Chencang, Fengtian and other places where the official army and the rebel army have seen back and forth, almost the local males were slaughtered or swept away by the palaces of both camps, and only the old and weak women and children who were waiting to be fed were left to fend for themselves. The sound of chickens and dogs has not been heard in the place for a long time.
In contrast, the conditions in Yanbian's states and counties are better. Because it is mountainous, it is convenient to hide and escape; in addition to the surviving hukou in various cities, it can also induce and attract many exiles with food and materials on the spot.
Therefore, although the large-scale battle on the Kannai Road has ended, it is not for letting it go in order to consolidate the place and establish a new ruling order. The follow-up investment required is still a huge bottomless pit, not even less than during the war. (End of this chapter)
