Three Kingdoms

Jia Xu received the seal from Fei Qian half a month ago.

"In Longyou and Yinfu, there are many Chen Gouyou, you are restrained and patrolled, and your responsibilities are particularly heavy. However, there is a mighty force to stop it, control the army and the desert, and the golden city rushes to the important point, and it is well defended. Wuwei, the governor of Xiliang, served as a military officer in Longyou. He was dedicated to government affairs, appointed talents and promoted talents, promoted the style of pastoral work, and made great contributions to the local area. Shock Xiliang. It is advisable to take photos of Liangzhou and care about Longyou. It is allowed and hoped for success. He moved to Liangzhou as a pastoralist, supervised the military affairs of Liangzhou, was granted the title of Marquis of Wuwei, and was granted the title of 300 households in the city. Among the officers and men under his command, the one with the most outstanding achievements will be promoted to the third rank, and the others with less merit will be promoted to the second rank. 』

This is the reward given by General Hussar to Yu Jia Xu and others.

Not only did Jia Xu realize his wish to return to his hometown in glory and become a marquis, but he also improved the rank of the officials under Jia Xu. Even according to the latest rank regulations of nine to twenty-seven grades for officials, Longyou Everyone in Longxi was excited.

The new official grades have changed from the original nine grades to nine to twenty-seven grades. Each grade has three levels, upper, middle and lower. The benefits of the upper and lower professional titles are superimposed on each other. At the same time, there is also a year-end bonus, which is very important for Stabilizing the team and strengthening management in government affairs will have a certain promoting effect.

But at the same time, the year-end bonus will also strengthen the authority of the chief official, which will lead to problems of favoritism and factionalization to some extent, but because one-third of the year-end bonus is fixed on the final annual performance of each county , so even if the interpersonal relationship is poor, it can be guaranteed that at least one-third of the quota will not be reduced, which to a certain extent also guarantees the rights and interests of ordinary officials.

In addition to these improvements in daily salaries, the most important among the new official policies implemented by Longyou and Longxi was that the original barriers to official promotion, or classes, were clarified. .

The connection between official position and salary is no longer so close. In other words, a superior official may not receive as much salary as an experienced subordinate, but when a subordinate is promoted to the next level , the salary system will be reset...

In some ways, this new salary system will make people a little uncomfortable. After all, everyone wants positive salary growth all the time, not a roller coaster. But at the same time, such benefits make officials With more choices, the ambitious people who want to climb up the ladder will not care much about the decline in income in three to five years, because they are attracted by a more ambitious future, while the middle and lower classes who are content with the status quo Officials, on the other hand, will receive an increase in salary as they age, and naturally they will be relatively more stable.

The choice of salary can allow officials to automatically form divisions instead of being forced to roll together. This also reduces the probability that the interests of officials are tied together in one place. After all, some people want more and higher, but some people just want their wives and children to have a hot bed. For all officials as a whole, local, county and county officials are mutually exclusive. It will be more difficult to unify them, which is conducive to the strengthening of the central government...

Through such changes in salary and salary, the authority of local chief officials has been weakened to a certain extent, causing more middle- and lower-level officials in counties and counties to gradually be separated from the original dual monarch system. Although it is not very obvious at the moment, as time goes by, this diversity of human nature will gradually emerge, causing a brand new change in the official system.

However, the current officials of the Han Dynasty were not fully aware of these subtleties, especially those in Longyou and Longxi. They were basically immersed in the joy of promotion and salary increase, and at the same time because of the need for thorough Control the area of ​​Longyou and Longxi, and deal with the follow-up issues of the war, especially the reasonable division of the Qiang people. On the one hand, the Qiang people cannot feel that they are oppressed to the point of desperation, and then cause disputes again. On the other hand, it is also necessary to facilitate the gradual progress of the Qiang people. education, rather than a one-stop solution.

Under such circumstances, the officials in Longyou, Longxi, became busy, and at the same time, they also needed a certain number of Qiang-headed people who were friendly to the Han people to assist in management...

At the same time, Jia Xu was also constantly subtly, um, even seducing Ajiesha.

This kind of temptation, Jia Xu did not miss any opportunity when he first communicated with Ajiesha.

For example, when specifying the town where the Qiang people gathered, Jia Xu first pointed to the Qiangzhi County and said, "This city is 1,800 steps across, with three gates in the east, west and south. There are streets in the city crisscrossing each other. It is prepared for you." The government is located in the northwest corner..."

When Ajiesha lamented that he could finally sit in the yamen and manage the affairs of the Qiang people like a Han official, Jia Xu said again, "Have you ever been to Chang'an?" 』

Ajie shook his head and said, "I haven't been there." 』

"You will have a chance to go...and you really should go and see it," Jia Xu patted Ajiesha on the shoulder, "General Hussar once said that Qiang and Han people are treated equally, you know?" In other words, like the Han officials, you will receive grades, salaries, and promotions. Maybe one day, you Qiang officials will also be promoted and have the opportunity to go to Chang'an or even to Guanzhong to serve in more important positions. position...』

"This is what General Hussar said..." Jia Xu looked at Ajiesha, "General Hussar has never broken his promise..."

"Chang'an, Zhou Baili!" 』

"Here, it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from the east gate to the west gate, but in Chang'an, it takes at least three hours to walk from the east gate to the west gate!" 』

"Three hours?" ! ” Ajiesha was a little surprised. In his concept, he had never seen a city as big as what Jia Xu described.

Next, entering the city, Jia Xu would compare it with Chang'an every time he pointed out a place.

For example, Jia Xu pointed to a low, simple and very crowded residential area and said, "There are a total of 160 square houses in Chang'an City, including Xuanming Square, Jianyang Square, Shangguan Square, etc., all of which are houses." The houses are in Chubi, the gates and lanes are straight, the ground is level and clean, and the people are prosperous. Chang'an has a prosperous population, with hundreds of thousands of people. If you pick just one village at random, the number of people and the area occupied are much larger than those under the Qiang rule..."

Ajiesha: "Oh oh oh..."

The county seat of Qiangzhi was originally abandoned during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Although it has been somewhat repaired and tidied up now, it is still inevitably dilapidated. If the wind is a little stronger, you can see yellow sand rolling on the streets.

As Jia Xu spoke, he led Ajie Cha slowly through the streets, "In the city of Chang'an, the bluestones are the avenues, and the city buildings are all heavy with houses." Goods are piled up like mountains from east to west, from north to south, and traders from various cities are constantly flowing, shoulder to shoulder, feet to feet. They go shopping in new clothes in the morning, but when they come back in the afternoon, they are packed and tattered..."

Ajiesha: "Wow wow wow..."

Jia Xu squinted his eyes, seeming to miss the situation in Chang'an, "Human life is extremely short. If you can't see what no one has seen before, and know what no one before you didn't know, then what's the difference between it and a dead thing?" 』

Ajiesha naturally couldn't answer.

"Forget it, when your clan members who followed you to Chang'an come back, they will tell you about the situation in Chang'an. Then you will know whether what I said is true or false..."

Jia Xu almost described Chang'an as a beacon of civilization.

This is also Jia Xu's strategy.

It is also an important part of Feiqian’s education strategy.

Who would have a desire for Chinese culture?

Definitely not an ordinary Qiang person.

Just like the Southern Huns, the average herdsmen don't think that far ahead at all, and they don't have that much thought to consider the future. For ordinary people, they think more about survival.

Just like in the uncivilized era of later generations, those who envy the East or the West must not be the most ordinary people, but those who have some rights and industries. This kind of thing is not absolutely good or bad. It is like being the first to open your eyes to the West and talking about how advanced the West is. Maybe it is the conscience of the nation, but after decades of just looking at the West every day, it is also Just saying that the West is good may not be conscientious.

Times are changing, and the people who can best keep up with these changes are people like Ajiesha.

Even including having Ajiesha pay tribute to the noble lady of Beigong and go to Chang'an to serve the Hussars General, this is also a very important link in the entire education process.

No, Jia Xu successfully established the impression here in Ajiesha that Chang'an is good in everything, Han civilization is strong in everything, and as long as outstanding talents go to Han, they will definitely be treated equally...

Then with the exchange of trade, and again and again after the Qiang personnel sent to Chang'an saw it with their own eyes and passed it down personally, this impression will continue to deepen until the Qiang people from top to bottom think that the Han people The culture is the strongest, the things are the best, etc.

When the Qiang people begin to imitate the Han people in everything, just like the Southern Huns, then the education has been successful, and it will be many times better than simply establishing households and integrating the people.

"Have you ever heard of a story about our lord, the Cavalry General?" Jia Xu said with a smile, "When my lord entered Chang'an, someone once persuaded me to take over Weiyang... Do you know what Weiyang is?" Well, that’s right, it was the original palace of the Han Emperor... Logically speaking, it was nothing for my lord to occupy the Weiyang Palace at that time... just like you now occupy the Beigong Palace..."

Ajie smiled slightly awkwardly.

"But my lord refused..." Jia Xu said slowly, "My lord said, do not bully the dark room, do not betray benevolence, loyalty to the world is like human kindness, it is easy to destroy and restore it. It’s difficult...oh, that is to say...』

Jia Xu saw that Ajiesha didn't understand what he was hearing, so he repeated it again in simpler language.

Of course, Fei Qian had other considerations when he refused to enter Weiyang Palace. For example, the overall political situation was still unstable at that time. The common people of Heluo River and the nobles in Guanzhong Hedong were still immersed in fear of Xiliang. If Fei Qian did Things similar to Dong Zhuo's will inevitably lead to bad associations, so that some subsequent chain reactions may not end in the end.

But these hidden factors did not prevent Jia Xu from using this example to deceive, um, convince Ajiesha.

"My Lord's benevolence is rare in the world." After the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu returned to Nei, no one from the Southern Xiongnu was detained. You should also know this..." Jia Xu looked at Ajie Cha and said, "Now the right side of Longlong is peaceful, and the people are peaceful. In the event of a disaster, most of the reserves will be wasted... The leader should imitate my lord's benevolent actions and not levy excessive taxes, thus damaging my lord's reputation..."

Ajiesha nodded repeatedly.

"Do you really understand? ” Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Ajiesha.

Ajiesha rolled his eyes a few times, "I will send someone to pass on the order and treat the Beigong people well...just like a hussar general, um, show that, yes, benevolence..."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's good." In fact, I say this for your own good...don't you understand? A few days ago, I met the daughter of Beigong... Do you think she will be favored by my lord... Think about it, if you treat the people of Beigong too much... Then the daughter of Beigong Got it, next to my lord’s pillow...well...you are so smart, you should have figured this out...』

Ajiesha's face suddenly turned pale.

Obviously, he was not a "smart" person as Jia Xu said. He had never thought of this before.

Qiang people cannot have unified thoughts.

This was true during the Beigong period, and it was the same when Ajie Sha was in power.

Therefore, Jia Xu must keep a part of the Beigong tribe and let these people become the "opposition party" against Ajiesha, who can come in handy when necessary. Of course, on the surface, Jia Xu still sounded very compassionate, as if he respected the human rights of the Qiang people.

Packaging? This is not the first time Jia Xu has played this trick. He is very skilled in business skills.

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Ajiesha became serious now, and his face lost the perfunctory look, "Don't worry, Marquis Wuwei!" I, I will definitely settle the Beigong clan well! 』

At this moment, Ajiesha suddenly felt regretful in his heart. If he had known that this would happen, he should not have let Yami go!

There are still a few girls in my family, right...

Jia Xu smiled and said, "If the leader can do this, I believe Beigong's spirit in heaven will also thank the leader... Come on, introduce me to the leader. This is the assistant I left to assist the leader..."

Jia Xu again ordered the officials who stayed in Qiangzhi in front of Ajiesha, saying that the Han people should not consider themselves as a state, and they should be modest and prudent, treat the Qiang leaders and nobles with courtesy, and show their loyalty to the Qiang people. The demeanor of the Han Dynasty, a country of etiquette, could not bully ordinary Qiang herdsmen.

After sending Jia Xu off respectfully, Ajiesha couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, and at the same time he felt even more confused about the future...

Also confused was Yami.

Just when Jia Xu and Ajiesha were thinking about their future "cooperation" in Qiangzhi County, for Yami, she also entered the "boudoir" specially prepared for her.

Although Yami is young, she is more or less the daughter of the former Beigong nobleman. She has generally seen some of the world, and is not as shy as a woman who has never met a stranger, but she still feels quite a lot of differences...

The yard here is huge.

The walls are also very high.

Well, she probably can't get over it...

There are also many cloisters. It is said that just for the maids and servants to get water or food, it takes a long time to go around, and they may even get lost in the beginning...

Lost in the yard!

But in the words of those Han people, they didn't seem to think how big the courtyard was.

"It's just a courtyard with three entrances..."

Yami remembered what the Han man said, but what is a "three catties" yard? Could it be said that Han people’s houses can be weighed?

Yami didn't know clearly, but in her impression, she had never seen such a spacious and luxurious house. Red pillars, white walls, black tiles, and various exquisite appliances in the room...

There are no walls painted with cow dung or horse dung.

There were no holes dug for fires.

There are no hard pancakes pulled out of the fire pit that can be eaten by patting the ashes.

Nothing at all……

Not even a mouthful of fresh cow or goat milk.

Some people only have this slurry...

Yami thought of her own yard, which was not very big and would definitely not get lost. She thought of the grape trellis in the yard and the grapes that were probably not yet ripe. Well, the Han people said that one was called "Peach apple"...

What rosewood? The Han people's big tongue is like a straight stick, can't it even turn?

But there are no grapes or melons in this yard.

There was nothing but a broken pool.

There is some green water in the pond, and there are silly fish.

It looks like there isn’t much meat and there are a lot of thorns...

Because of the language barrier, Yami couldn't communicate with other Chinese women, so she could only stare blankly at the sky and the fish in the small pond.

After being in a daze for a long time, Yami even felt that she was that fish.

I thought the pool was very big, but I could never swim out.

Yami wanted to take care of her little red horse, but was stopped by Han Nu. The Han woman said that noble people should not do such things. But the problem is that in Yami's house, whoever owns the horse is the one who takes care of it. Although the family will help, most things have to be done by themselves, from brushing to feeding grass and cleaning up horse manure.

If I have been unable to take care of Yaya, will Yaya not recognize me by then?

Yami was a little worried, and she felt that this was a high possibility, because her whole body was now so fragrant that it made her want to sneeze when she smelled it. Yaya definitely doesn't like the taste.

Yami touched her hair and face, and then remembered that those men had rubbed her belly over and over like they were washing a sheep's belly. For a time, Yami thought they had to pull out the inside of her belly and wash it... …

I'm not too dirty myself, um, although the water I brought out looks, um...

Yami held her head, a little worried.

Although she had made some psychological preparations before coming to Han Dynasty, it was only after she arrived in Chang'an Sanfu that she realized that many things were different from what she had originally imagined.

totally different.

And what kind of hussar general from the Han people...

I don’t know what it looks like yet…
