Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Under the **** of Pound, some small groups of horse bandits and Huren rangers naturally did not dare to bother again. The group marched safely and steadily to the west. After traveling hundreds of miles, they finally saw the huge outline of a city. .

"Mr. Gongda, this is Ji County. The general started his career in Tianshui County, so all the offices in the prefecture moved from Guzang City to Ji County." Pound explained to Xun You on the side.

Xun You nodded, looking at the desolate and quaint city in front of him, he was quite sigh in his heart. His family came from Yingchuan. Although Xun You had also traveled to study, he was basically in the rich and prosperous places near Gyeonggi, such as Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili. This is the first time that the Xiaowei Department has come to the northwest.

In the fields on both sides are farmers who are working hard. It is summer now, and the harvest will be harvested in two or three months. The farmers naturally dare not relax.

Pound rode his horse forward, and the farmers in the fields on both sides naturally noticed him a long time ago. They stopped the farm work in their hands and straightened up to greet Pound.

Pound stepped forward and smiled: "Old Uncle Xu, how much work has been done in the crops recently?"

Old Uncle Xu smiled and said, "I live a lot, but fortunately, the Zhou Mu sympathizes with me. I rented cattle and horses. This year, the old man has a lot of ease."

When Xun You saw the appearance of such a politician, he was very emotional. He had never been to Liangzhou, and the Han Sui Rebellion broke out recently. He originally thought Liangzhou was a desolate place, but what he saw and heard along the way It subverted his perception.

Liangzhou is indeed desolate. The density of cities and villages is far less than that of the Central Plains. However, it is rare to encounter groups of refugees here. Although the structure of the village is simple, the people here are full of vitality, and their tired faces are full of fullness. Smile.

Seeing Pound coming back, Xun You couldn't help wondering: "Ling Ming, just listened to your conversation with this old man Xu, Zhou Mu leased the cattle and horses to local farmers?"

Pound nodded: "Yes, the state animal husbandry is sympathetic to the people and knows that farming is not easy, so he proactively issued a farmland reclamation order and used the government to help the farmers."

"It turns out that because of the war, there were many refugees in Liangzhou. Since the prefectural animal husbandry issued a law to gather the refugees and establish many new villages, I didn't expect that the animal husbandry could not only fight wars, but also govern civil affairs. Old Pang is not going to be." Pound laughed.

And Xun You sighed, Liu Ye's move was really brilliant.

Pound was puzzled: "Mr. Gongda seems to have something to say?"

Xun You sighed, and then asked: "Ling Ming, do you know the founding Xiaohou?"

Pound nodded: "Xiaohou Town caress the rear, while staying in the marquis strategizing, Huaiyin Marquis won every battle, but among them, Xiaohou is the most trusted by the high ancestors."

Xun You said slowly: "Xiao Hou really made great contributions to the founding of my great man. In the past, when we broke Xianyang, other generals went to get riches. Only Xiao Hou went straight to the prime minister's house and took out the population register and other atlases, but Xiao Hou The same greed for property."

Xiao He once carried out a large number of land mergers, and he was sitting on tens of thousands of acres of land. He almost became the largest landlord in the country. The emperor of the Han Dynasty had to restrict and equalize the land.

Xun You said deeply: "The state animal husbandry lent seeds, farm tools and cattle to the refugees. Not only did the refugees settle down and the order in Liangzhou was restored, the more important thing was to put the population under the name of the government, rather than being a rich family. Possessed."

In ancient times, there were no machines, and manpower was the most basic productive force. It can be said whether a place is prosperous or not, you can tell by just looking at the local population. Liangzhou has less than one million people, while Yuzhou is just a Runan county. More than two million people, this theory is still applicable even now.

The ancient government also wanted to record the population, but because it lacks today’s technology, it’s difficult to cover everything. Many landlords have thought about bringing their tenants into Tunpu. In this way, farmers who are not on the register naturally don’t have to. By paying taxes, personal interests increase and the state's interests naturally decrease.

Pound was slightly surprised: "Is that so? I only know that the state animal husbandry is sympathetic to the people, but I can't imagine that the state animal husbandry has this level of consideration."

While Xun You nodded, he was quite excited in his heart. With such a hero as a support, the big man could still be saved.

Pound led three thousand horses, surrounded by two carriages, and wanted to **** him into the city. At this moment, a knight with a flag on his back and a red feather in his helmet suddenly rushed away.

Pound frowned. The soldiers in this outfit were all scouts, but they were of different levels.

Liu Ye stipulated that in the Liangzhou army, scouts under the army Sima had white feathers on their heads, captains under army scouts had yellow feathers on their heads, and the confidential information sent from the state capital was red feathers. The inn must be ready for horse rotation.

Therefore, Pound had a solemn face and personally greeted him.

The knight with red feathers stood still: "Pang Sima, the lord will be here soon."

Pound clasped his fists: "Some knows."

The knight with the red feather on his head nodded, and rode his horse aside, following Pound.

At this time, the dust in the distance was noisy, and the sound of people shouting horse neighing gradually sounded and became louder. A black line faintly emerged from the horizon, and then it became thicker and thicker. The black line gradually divided into people and horses, forming A magnificent army formation.

The banners of the army are displayed, but there are no generals. All the flags in the army are the unified yellow qilin army battle flag. As the unique yellow sands of the northwest are swept away, each yellow qilin is flying in the air.

The ancient dynasties advocated the five virtues, so they were different. The Li Ru and Qin Dynasty admired water virtues, so black was admired, while the Han Dynasty that followed closely admired local virtues, so the banners were mostly yellow.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a national flag, but the yellow unicorn battle flag was generally the national flag.

Countless banners were fluttering, thousands of cavalry came first, and then more than 10,000 infantrymen lined up into a huge army formation, slowly moving forward, with great momentum.

The Queen Mother and Liu Bian walked out of the car with the support of Xun You and others. Seeing the scene in front of them, the Queen Mother almost did not cry.

How long have you not seen this scene? The empress dowager of the emperor should not make a hasty decision, because the dispatched personnel are usually thousands or even ten thousand people, and there are standards for special specifications and etiquette, which is the so-called "ritual."

And Dong Zhuo sent people to **** them, only sent five hundred riders, even the carriage was quite bumpy.

Wan Jun shouted loudly.

"Long live the emperor, ten thousand years of the man!"

There is a channel in the iron cavalry formation, and a horse carrying a black armored knight gallops out.

"Chen Liangzhou Mu Liu Ye, here comes to escort!"
