Chapter 626

Liu Yan only stayed in Jiankang for half a month, and then went to Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is one of the granaries of the country in the future. As a king, if you want to develop it, how can you not see it in person? Liu Yan took the land route, leaving Jiankang and taking the first line of Lujiang County. It took him 16 days to arrive in Jiangxia and specially chose LV Yi's family to stay.

Nothing special happened during the inspection. Therefore, Liu Yan praised Huan Wen for doing very well in the south.

The king visited the area that had just been conquered for a few years. If there was an assassination, it was really no accident. What Liu Yan knew was that not only did there not be an assassination, but also did not find who was arranging the assassination. Praising Huan Wen was encouragement, and it was more clear that it was because of the effect brought by the statement in Jiankang.

We must leave a little room for the southerners. If they are restricted from participating in the governance of the country, some people who feel that they have no future will go crazy. Playing with Liu Yan will only be one of the means, and then it should completely disrupt the south of the Yangtze River.

For the Han Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River can not be disturbed. That is the reason why the northern groups, which clearly know that Liu Yan is going to start selecting talents in the South and have strong political power, clearly do not like it but do not make trouble.

Liu Yan doesn't want regional exclusion. Both the north and the south are part of the country. He can't make people in any region more powerful. Similarly, he can't let people in any region despair. What he says is that everyone is useful to the country and treated equally.

Jiangxia is the ancestral land of the Lvyi family. How the Lvyi family used to be has become history, because Lvyi is now one of the Nine Emperors of the Han state. There is no doubt that it will become the pride of Jiangxia. The people who want to rely on cannot be counted, and its prestige must be great.

The high prestige of a family in a certain place is not what the rulers want to see, but no matter which ruler can not avoid or eradicate similar phenomena, not only in ancient times, it can even be said that the society will not change as long as it still exists.

Since the ruler can't make anyone a symbol of a place, it's better to let his own people gain prestige than to fill the gap with forces that are not his own. This is true for LV Yi in Jiangxia County, sang Yu in Wei County, Cai you in Dongmou County, and so on.

Jiangxia county is a place with a long history. The city may be built and moved again. There will be countless ups and downs over the long years. The only constant is the mountain or the mountain and the water.

Jiangxia county now has no Jiangxia city. No one knows when Jiangxia city was destroyed. Now the capital of Jiangxia county is Anlu, which is located by the Yunshui river.

LV Yi's ancestral home is in Jiangxia County, more specifically in Xiakou. Xiakou is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, across the river is the boundary of Wuchang County, and the northeast is Runan County.

Jingzhou is very large and has 18 counties. Liu Yan's intuitive impression after reading the map is that it covers modern lake 1 North and lake 1 South, and even part of jiang1 West and guang1 West 1 Zhuang 11 ethnic groups 1 self governance 1 district is included.

If Liu Yan is not blind, Jiangxia county is actually counted as the north boundary of lake 1. To count as the south boundary of lake 1, it should start from the south of Nanping County.

How did the Manchu Dynasty build the south of lake 1 into a high-yield grain producing area? Liu Yan has no relevant impression. He needs to make Jingzhou a grain producing area. How to develop it is the work of all officials.

"I need to go to Dongting Lake to observe." Cai you's understanding is that the development of grain producing areas must be inseparable from the water source. It is the key to consider how to make Dongting Lake a part of the irrigation system. He also pointed to many water systems in Jingzhou and said, "the waterway here is equivalent to Huainan county."

Huainan county was originally a grain producing area, including the surrounding Ruyin County, Yingchuan county and Lujiang County. It has been developed since the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, that is, the long years have changed too much, especially the war among the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty has caused great damage to all kinds of artificial construction.

Liu Yan looked at the map carefully for a long time. He found that he didn't see the place marked as yunmengze. When he asked, he knew that because the Yangtze River was diverted, yunmengze disappeared. Xiakou was originally located in the east of yunmengze. It was not far before yunmengze disappeared.

Dongting Lake is in the southeast of Runan County. It is more than 400 li away from Xiakou. There is no mature communication line between the two places. Taking the Yangtze River waterway does not guarantee that every river section can sail. Liu Yan naturally doesn't have so much time to reach Guanzhong before autumn. Moreover, even if Liu Yan has enough time, he can't toss about like that. Otherwise, who is responsible for the accident.

Like the political show in Jiankang, it is enough for Liu Yan to express his attitude in Jingzhou in person. He doesn't have to really check all regions in person. Those are the things that the ministers responsible for the development of Jingzhou should do.

Finally, Liu Yan stayed at LV Yi's house for five days. Cai you stayed when he wanted to go north to Yuzhou.

Now the geographical names are chaotic. There are many administrative regions with the same name between Shijie Zhao state and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. For example, on the map of Shijie Zhao state, Runan County is in the northeast of Jiangxia County, but the map of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty shows that Runan County is in the southeast of Jiangxia county.

The map used in the early Han Dynasty was the division of the Cao Wei period. Later, the territory Map of the Eastern Han Dynasty was captured in Yecheng, but the territory Map of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not used now. It was a map re planned after years of exploration.

According to the orthodox division left over by history, Runan County should be in the northeast of Jiangxia County, so you need to pass through the boundary of Runan County to get from Jiangxia county to Yuzhou.

The news that Liu Yan wanted to recruit southerners to participate in national governance spread quickly. When he entered the boundary of Runan County, many local families organized to welcome him.

According to the geographical location, Runan County actually belongs to the region north of the Yangtze River. Politically, Runan County was originally the territory of Shijie Zhao state, which can not be regarded as the rule of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, it is embarrassing for the people in Runan County that they are southerners according to the geographical distribution of the Han country. Anyway, they can't compete with the northern groups of the Han country.

Now it's not modern, even in modern China, there are regions of officials. Where can officials be better? Although no one will talk about it, it really exists. In modern times, there are political parties playing down the regional differences of officials. Without political party system, we are talking about the region of origin.

There are several groups in the north, such as the Sang family in Weijun, the Cui family in Jizhou and the Cai family in Qingzhou.

In fact, there are groups in the south. The LV family in Jiangxia county is one of them. Their department focuses on most aristocratic families who went north earlier. Of course, it is the largest faction representing the south.

They are surrounded by a group of people from their own backgrounds. After they become officials, they will naturally move closer to the most prestigious people, and interest groups will emerge.

In addition to Lu Yi, who can represent the south, with the Huan and Xie entering the official system of the Han state, a group of people gathered around the Huan and Xie, and Yu, who joined the middle. Waiting for the demise of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, most families on the loser's side are actually a little ignorant. Many millennial aristocratic families, whether reserved or pretentious, will not easily find someone to take refuge. Some who want to find someone to take refuge are not accepted or do not know who to find at all.

Liu Yan did not deliberately understand who came to meet and who should be. He will soon understand and report.

"Two have become the original local giants, and the rest are immigrants who have migrated from other places." Cui Zong bowed his upper body with great respect. After introducing the introduction in detail, he asked for instructions: "how to arrange it, please show it down."

Cui Zong is Liu Yan's new personal secretary lang. he was born under the Cui family in Jizhou. He is Cui Wan's cousin in the future. He did not know in advance that he would become the king's personal secretary lang. he had only been in office for four days and had not adapted yet.

Liu Yan frowned a little. What the king could notice was that in addition to national political affairs, that is, the heads of state and famous generals of other countries, some giants in one county of his country didn't have to arrange what to do in person.

Cui Zong saw Liu Yan's obvious frowning action and immediately retreated in situ, with dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

In the feudal dynasty, not to mention the level of king, even the officials of counties and counties only spoke of dignity and did not do things close to the people. This is closely related to the social environment at that time. Majesty is more useful than kindness, especially for kings.

Most of the time, it's not that kings don't want to be close to the people, but that they should maintain their sense of mystery, and then there are relevant security considerations. Of course, the king will not ignore the people, but he will never easily meet anyone. Even the probability of meeting the villagers will be higher than that of Haoqiang.

It would be naive for those powerful men in Runan County to think that they would be received by the king. They are only qualified for officials at the rank of Chamberlain. Some people want to offer gifts to the king, or those gifts that have no special significance, and all they get is scolding.

Liu Yan didn't even summon the sheriff in Runan County, but invited some old people old enough according to tradition.

The oldest old man who was arranged to live was 72 years old. He was born at the end of the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, he saw it with his own eyes after the return of the Three Kingdoms to Jin, the rebellion of Yongjia and the southward crossing of clothes.

"The little old man was originally from Binzhou. When the puppet Dynasty wantonly moved the Hu prisoners to the south, Yu yewang (Hanoi County in the Western Jin Dynasty) lived in peace for three years. He moved south again during the Yongjia rebellion and fled to Chen Liu..." the old man obviously had a good background. When he was old, he had a clear mind, but his words were somewhat unfavorable. He told his past experience: "when the northern people's Congress fled to the south (crossing south in clothes), the little old man followed him South and entered Yangzhou, but there was no place to live. He came to Runan. "

More than one million people fled from all parts of the Central Plains to the South during the period of yiguannandu, and most of them followed the then senior officials and dignitaries to Yangzhou. It is not a simple thing for more than a million northerners to move south, especially for ordinary people. Countless people died of illness and starvation on the way to escape. Even when they arrived in the land, many people had to sell themselves as slaves in order to survive, which made the slavery of all families more serious.

The history books do not record in detail the process of "crossing south in clothes", but only a few "spring and autumn strokes", and there is no record of how the aristocratic families who moved south gave in to the local aristocratic families in the south. There are some sayings in unofficial history that the aristocratic families who fled to the South fought against the local aristocratic families in the South because they recruited the people who went south together. Hundreds of thousands of people died on both sides, and many local aristocratic families in the South were also destroyed. In that battle for living space, the northern aristocratic family not only robbed the territory, but almost everything that could be robbed. Only then did the aristocratic family who fled from the north to the south become the controller of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After listening to the story, Liu Yan had too much sense of regret. It was the social elites at that time who killed themselves. Sadly, it was the people who fled to the South and, of course, the people who were kidnapped and abused in the north, which was enough to explain the impact of those in power if their brains were bad.

"I don't know what to say?" The old man's words made everyone present nervous except Liu Yan. When he saw Liu Yan nodding with a smile, he said, "Chuang Tzu once spoke of great righteousness, saying that 'saints don't die, thieves don't stop'."

"If a saint does not die, there will be more than thieves" comes from Zhuangzi. Outer part. The tenth suitcase. It mainly talks about the formulation of rules, and how the makers seize interests from their own rules, and more deeply points out the phenomenon of "stealing the state".

The old man's words made Liu Yan lose his smile. The rest of the people present also turned blue. Several people involved in the invitation fainted directly to the ground. He may have degraded his eyesight, or he may have ignored the changing faces of the people. He paused and said, "for the world, the aristocratic family is a thief."

The smile returned to Liu Yan's face. If the old man didn't have the last sentence, even he scolded him. The Han state he established was recovered from Hu Lu. It can't be compared with the dynasty before the rightness of the country. There is no lack of morality in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which destroyed the same Miao nationality. Especially in the process of destroying the small imperial court, there were no indiscriminate killings of innocent people and few people died.

Liu Yan doesn't like aristocratic families, but they don't exist because he doesn't like them. There are countless aristocratic families and contemporary aristocratic families. Aristocratic families will appear as long as there are still officials and people still need families.

Liu Yan, who came from later generations, knows very well that even when society evolves to an era when it can explore the universe, the aristocratic family still exists, which is nothing more than changing its name.

Seeing that the activities of the rural elderly have ended here, Liu Yan took his eyes back after watching the old man being helped away. He knew that he was an old man who suffered from an aristocratic family. When he could see the king, he spoke happily according to his old age.

"The old man has no relatives?" Liu Yan got the answer. He was really alone and supported by the local government. He didn't go deep into this topic. He waved to people other than Cui Zong to step down, and then said, "I hope the old man will live well."

What else can Cui Zong do? He can only respond respectfully: "promise!"
