"Let's go, let's talk in the back hall." Lan Tian stretched out his hand, and Hu Ke and Gao Yuan immediately followed.
Since the establishment of the Jiaozhou Governor Department in the Western Han Dynasty, Guangxin has always been the seat of Jiaozhou's government, but later Jiaozhou governors Zhu Fu and Zhang Jin died one after another.
The two did not give in to each other in Jiaozhou. Later, Lai Gong lost to Wu Ju and was driven to Yulin. That's why Guangxin fell into Wu Ju's control. The state capital became Wu Ju's general's mansion. The layout of the mansion refers to the great city in the Central Plains. In the official temple, the front hall of the main hall is grand and spacious, and the speech echoes. It is usually used for large court meetings, and more often it is discussed in the back hall of the main hall.
Lan Tian and Hu Ke sat down in the back hall, "Looking at your relaxed face, is there any happy event at Shihui?"
Hu Ke clasped his fists and replied: "Recently, Shi Hui received a letter from Jiangdong Zhang Zhao. In the letter, Zhang Zhao reprimanded Shi Hui for killing Wei Jing with poison, and threatened to use all his troops to attack the Shi family. If he understood the current affairs and gave up the South China Sea again, the military disaster would be avoided. , otherwise the Shiqian Sacrifice Flag in Jiangdong will be killed first."
"Sun Quan's navy did not dare to move lightly, and Cheng Pu's land troops were almost wiped out. What would he use to attack the scholars?"
Lan Tian was taken aback when he heard that, since he defeated Sun Quan, he didn't pay attention there, probably because the two families were at war, and the Books and Press Office had very little information about Jiangdong.
Hu Ke: "Zhang Zhao has explained clearly in the letter that Sun Quan sent He Qi as the chief general and Lu Xun as the deputy general to Yuzhang. If you follow Luling down, you will be in the South China Sea..."
"Go get the map of Yangzhou." Lan Tian's originally relaxed nerves tensed up. Lu Xun is a figure who can support Jiangdong's appearance. If he is really sent to Jiaozhou to fight against him, he dare not take it lightly.
"Wei." Gao Yuan clasped his fists and left.
Taking advantage of the gap between getting the map on the plateau, Lan Tian frowned and continued to ask: "What's Shi Hui's attitude? Should we fight or give up the South China Sea?"
"Didn't you see the fighting power of the Dragon Brigade before? It also put down the local Yueyi rebellion, and it was completely incapable of competing with the Central Plains army. However, Nanhai is a large salt-producing county in Jiaozhou, and Shi Hui doesn't want to give up this area yet. Fat meat, so I thought of us." Hu Ke replied.
Lan Tian snorted coldly: "The so-called brothers are like brothers, Jiang Dong threatened his elder brother's life, it seems that Shi Hui is still indifferent..."
"Shi Qian is the eldest son of Shi Xie. If Sun Quan were to kill Shi Hui, Shi Hui could justifiably inherit the title. Of course he would be indifferent." Hu Ke analyzed.
"Right and wealth are like a touchstone. Try to find out the ghosts and monsters in the world. As for whether to send out troops to aid the soldiers, I will analyze and analyze the map of Yangzhou after I get it. Jiaozhou has just started. If it is pulled into the quagmire of war, I don't know how long the development will be delayed... ..." Lan Tian shook his head.
Hu Ke nodded, "I've been putting pressure on Shi Hui for a long time. It would be best if the Shi family can take the initiative to give up the South China Sea..."
"If you can really accomplish this extraordinary feat, I will recommend you to the lord as the prefect of the South China Sea." Lan Tian encouraged.
Hu Ke smiled slightly: "A low-ranking official does not have the ability to be in charge of a party, but it is quite exciting to be such a meticulous worker."
When Lan Tian heard it, good guy, you are addicted to playing undercover and lurking, do you want to set up a secrecy bureau for you?
"One thing I've never figured out is why Wei Bai, who accused Wei Jing of poisoning him, escaped under Shi Hui's nose? Shouldn't he be executed or sent to places like Longbian?" Lan Tian asked curiously. .
Hu Ke was a little proud when he heard this: "After expelling Jiangdong's soldiers and horses from Jiaozhou, I threatened Shihui that Jiangdong might come to seek revenge, and asked him to go back to Jiaozhi to discuss countermeasures with Shixie. It was during the time when Shihui went to Jiaozhi Here, Wei Bo found an opportunity to escape from Panyu..."
"Did you do something?" Lan Tian frowned.
Hu Ke chuckled: "Wouldn't I be exposed if I did something wrong? At that time, the humble official went to Jiaozhi with Shi Hui. Because he left too quickly, he didn't have time to deal with Wei Bai, but Wu Siding's caravan stayed in Panyu. "
"Smart and intelligent, a child can be taught." Lan Tian looked relieved.
The masters who make thousands at the gambling table are usually covered by their companions, so that it is not easy to show their flaws.
Hu Ke was affirmed by Lantian, and his heart was full of joy. Although it had something to do with his personality, he would not have reached his current height without the courses in the martial arts hall.
While the two were talking, Gao Yuan brought a map of Yangzhou and hung it on the wall.
Lan Tian went to the map and looked carefully. Sun Quan claimed to be in command of the six counties and 81 prefectures in Jiangdong. The population and wealth of Jiangdong were mainly concentrated in the Wuhui area in the northeast, and Yuzhang and Luling, which bordered Jingzhou in the west, were also somewhat developed.
If there were lighting aerial photography at that time, the population gathering place in Jiangdong would be like a crescent moon, and the vast part where the moon is vacant has more mountains and less rivers.
After reading the map, Lan Tian instantly felt relieved. He Qi and Lu Xun would not travel thousands of miles to seize the South China Sea. Even if they can successfully occupy the South China Sea, they will need to garrison a large number of troops. After all, some people have tried to capture the South China Sea. It's not high-handed enough.
"Go back and tell Shi Hui immediately that I will send troops to the South China Sea to garrison, but the military expenses need to be settled by yourself. There is no such thing as free food and drink in this world." Lan Tian instructed Hu Ke.
Hu Ke nodded, "They must be clear about this, but are you not worried about Jiang Dong?"
Lan Tian smiled contemptuously: "Mountains are rampant in Jiangdong. Before Sun Quan wiped his ass clean, how could he have extra energy to manage Jiaozhou? It's nothing more than scaring Shihui. Paper tigers are useless in front of me."
Chapter 367 You Are Not Allowed to Save Ration
"Paper tiger? Mr.'s language is very strange. In the end, the general will return to Panyu to let Shihui prepare." Hu Ke said with his fists clasped.
Lan Tian nodded to signal Hu Ke to go first, and then turned his attention to the map.
After Hu Ke left, Gao Yuan asked curiously: "How many people do you plan to send to the South China Sea? If there are too few, the deterrent effect may not be enough."
"Is the deterrent force of 8000 people enough?" Lan Tian asked meaningfully.
Gao Yuan was very surprised, "Eight thousand? There is no need for so many, right? There are only [-] soldiers in total. If there is any danger to Cang Wu, temporary dispatch will be troublesome. You should think twice."
Lan Tian said with a smile: "Who said I want to transfer Boping's troops to the South China Sea?"
Gao Yuan scratched his head and asked, "Who are your 8000 people?"
"Can't General Sha's eight thousand barbarians work?" Lan Tian asked with a smile.
"But didn't you ask them to pack up and return to Chenyang?" Gao Yuan was even more puzzled.
Lantian pursues a policy of elite soldiers. The Wuxi barbarians in Shamoke completed their mission after pacifying Jiaozhou. Now there is no need for so many soldiers in peacetime, so they are going to temporarily let these barbarians return to their hometowns and recruit them when the war requires them. The establishment of 500 generals of Samo Ke Zhonglang was retained.
Wuxi barbarians are not regular soldiers, and they use knives in wartime instead of hoes in wartime, but they have been stationed in Jiaozhou for the past few years and are used to eating military rations, so now they would rather work their lives on the battlefield than go back to their hometowns to farm. Lantian has prepared a very generous severance package, which will be distributed only after being transported from Quanling to Guangxin.
Now there is Shihui in charge of eating and drinking, and Lantian happens to have a certain amount of development funds left. He smiled and replied: "How can things stay the same in this world? My decision yesterday may not keep up with today's changes. You should go to General Sha immediately." Call me here, don't mention the matter of stationing in the South China Sea."
"Wei." Gao Yuan cupped his fists.
Half an hour later, Shamoke came to the back hall of the main hall with his head buzzing.
If all the 500 barbarians return to their hometown, they will be fine. Now there are [-] people who can stay. If there is hope, there will be competition. Wanting to be the lucky one who eats military food, Shamoko has been in a dilemma these days.
"The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, isn't it difficult for General Sha?" Lan Tian asked.
Shamoke nodded lightly, "These guys were straight-hearted at first, but after this incident, they suddenly became enlightened. Everywhere I went, people came to intercede. When I went out last night, I almost got stuck in the toilet... "
"Hahaha, enthusiasm is a good thing, it shows that you lead troops well." Lan Tian laughed.
Sha Moke sighed: "There is no such thing as a good way to lead troops. I just want to stay as a soldier to eat food, and I don't want to go back to my hometown to farm and hunt. Sir, you are very resourceful. Is there any good way?"
Lan Tian didn't answer, but asked curiously: "Soldiers are murder weapons. Casualties are inevitable in the army. Are you barbarians not afraid of death?"
Shamoke smiled wryly: "Aren't mortals afraid of death? But you will hardly suffer from following Mr. Even if there are a few casualties in the war, the compensation you give is very high, so they are all willing to join the army."
"So that's how it is..." Lan Tian nodded.
"Sir, you may not know that, including my Wuxi barbarians, the defenders in many places dream of joining the army. It's a pity that you are unwilling to expand the establishment, and even if there is a reduction in personnel, there will be a fixed supply of troops..."
The fixed source of soldiers that Sha Moke said was in Linwu. In the last Changsha battle, the army that fell into the battle had a small number of reductions, so they went to Li Yang's village to pick and replenish.
Lan Tian explained: "The weapons and armor of the entrapment army are expensive, and I can't afford to support too many of them. Besides, this army is considered a private part, and it is not suitable for it to be too large..."
"The general understands. I don't know why Mr. asked me today? Could it be that the payment from Quanling arrived? I haven't made a decision on who to keep..." Sha Moke lowered his head and asked.
"This batch of property is quite a lot, and the preparations were not completed so soon. I was wondering if you should keep some more of your barbarians." Lan Tian continued to whet his appetite.
Sha Moke was overjoyed when he heard that, "Sir, are you serious? How much more do you want me to keep? Eight hundred or one thousand?"
Lan Tian shook his head and didn't speak, his expression was very calm. Sha Moke felt that he had guessed wrong?
"How about five hundred?" Shamoke continued to ask tentatively.
"Since we all want to serve as soldiers and eat food, let's all stay here." Lan Tian said in a flat tone.
Shamoke's eyes widened. He turned his head as if his ears were lying to him, and then swallowed: "Sir, is it just a joke? Didn't you say that there are too many idle troops, which will affect the state's taxes?"
Lan Tian said solemnly: "Do you think I'm joking with you? Go back and prepare quickly? Tomorrow, we will leave for the garrison in Panyu, and go directly to Hu Ke, the chief secretary of Shihui. The original plan for dismissal will be cancelled."
"Cancellation is good, cancellation is good, as long as they can stay, it is better than anything else, I will tell the barracks to reduce the rations, and save some money for the husband when there is no war, we can't eat white rice..." Shamoke looked happy.
Lan Tian quickly waved his hand: "Who told you to eat free rice? If you have nothing to do, you can learn from General Gao to train more soldiers, and then go to Panyu to supply military supplies to a scholar's house. You are not allowed to make suggestions and save me rations. We can have more things from outsiders." Eat some, do you understand?"
Shamo Kexin said that there is such a good thing?He nodded quickly to express his resolute obedience to the order, and then walked out cheerfully, almost bumping into Gao Shun who entered the door.
Gao Shun walked in and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with General Sha? He seems very happy."
Lan Tian smiled and replied: "His barbarians don't have to go back to their hometown for the time being, that's why they lost their composure due to excitement."
"So that's how it is. The house Mr. asked me to look for yesterday has been found. Now if there is nothing wrong, I will take you to see it?" Gao Shun asked.
"Then take a look." Lan Tian stood up immediately. The house he asked Gao Shun to look for these two days was not the small courtyard that Xu Shu wanted for his mother, but a quiet office space.
The two of them rode on the street, took a few detours in Guangxin City, and finally found the house in Gao Shun's mouth in a secluded place in the northeast of the city. garden.
The layout of the entire house is regular, larger than the current State Shepherd's Mansion in Lantian. There are several broad-leaved trees in the courtyard, which can just withstand the harsh sunlight. Although the outer door looks dilapidated, the inner doors, windows, beams and columns are all new. The paint on it, the furniture in each room has everything that one expects to find, and there is an apricot grove in the garden behind, which echoes the words on the plaque at the door.
"There is a hole in the sky here, it doesn't look like the residence of an ordinary family, can Boping find out who is the owner of this garden?" Lan Tian asked curiously.
Gao Shun replied: "I heard that this garden is Wu Ju's private residence, where hundreds of concubines and maidservants were kept for his enjoyment. After Wu Ju was killed, Lu Fan entered Cangwu as the new prefect, and this place became Lu The place where Fan received Jiangdong envoys."
Chapter 368 State Medical Administration
When Lan Tian heard what a good guy, it was no wonder that the words on the plaque were particularly awkward. This place used to be the clubhouse of Guangxin, so it was set up in such a secret place.
"Where did those concubines and maids go?" Lan Tian showed a mysterious smile, Lao Gao, you're not going to take it easy, are you?
Gao Shun said solemnly: "Uh...At the beginning, General Lai was ordered by Mr. Cangwu to conquer Cangwu. After winning, he rewarded all the women in this place to General Sha."
"It's all rewarded to Sha Moke? Lai Deshun is really unexpected..." Lan Tian's eyes widened, and he thought that it was true that Lao Sha was strong, but could he handle a hundred or so?
Gao Shun hurriedly explained: "I checked this matter with General Sha, and he gave all of it to the commander of the thousand, the commander of the centurion and the little chief, so many people are unwilling to leave Cangwu and return to Chenyang."
"General Sha handled it well." Lan Tian nodded.
Gao Shun asked again: "Does this apricot garden suit you?"
Lan Tian affirmed: "Although the location is a little bit off, it is better in the quietness, especially the apricot grove in the backyard is very nice, just need to change the paint on the door, I think Mr. Yuanhua will like it..."
"Ah? Mr. Yuanhua? Didn't you want to move here?" Gao Shun mistakenly thought that Lan Tian found it inconvenient to work in the joint office, so he asked himself to find another courtyard to live in.
Lan Tian shook his head and said, "I want to set up a new government office called the Medical Administration. Now all the counties have set up government medical clinics. They can't be allowed to grow wildly on their own. Whether it's the appointment of doctors or the selection of medicinal materials in the county medical clinics, we must unified management."
Gao Shun understood Lan Tian's meaning, and quickly suggested: "Mr. Yuanhua's disciples are skilled, but the medical department you mentioned seems to be more of an official temple function. Can Mr. Yuanhua manage it well?"
Lan Tian replied: "Of course Mr. Yuanhua can't let Mr. Yuanhua waste their time on dealing with these mundane affairs. I will transfer the military commander Xu An to be the head of the Medical Administration. After the Quanling Medical School is merged into the Medical Administration, the main thing is to train doctors and doctors. , but not all the trained talents can be sent to various medical clinics for consultation.”
"But why?" Gao Shun was puzzled.
"No matter how clever a doctor is, he needs authentic medicinal materials. The Department of Medicine needs to strictly control the process of excavating, planting, collecting, drying, distributing, and selling medicinal materials. Delicate management." Lan Tian continued to explain.
"So that's how it is." Gao Shunxin said that this was another generous effort of her husband.
After confirming the office space, the Department of Medicine began to prepare slowly. After receiving the transfer order, Xu An happily came to Guangxin to take up his post.
Ever since he became famous in the Yangtze River News, Lan Tian never paid attention to Xu An again. After Hao Pu was transferred to Quanling, he wanted to follow him, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally didn't say anything. It turned out that Lan Tian hadn't forgotten himself. I'm about to take off.
The Department of Medicine is a new yamen, and Lantian didn't specify what rank it was, but Xu An guessed that it was at least equivalent to the county-level Cao family, because he was originally a county magistrate and could not be relegated to use.
After Xu An learned about the functions of the Medical Administration, he came to the State Shepherd's Mansion to ask to see Lan Tian.
After meeting and exchanging greetings, Xu An asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty, your newly established Medical Department has the same functions as the county's medical staff. I don't know where the two overlap. How should we define and distinguish work?"
Lan Tian said meaningfully: "The Medical Administration is under the direct management of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and Cangwu Medical Cao is under the management of Xiahou Taishou. This still needs to be defined and differentiated?"
"This... directly under the State Shepherd's Mansion? It seems that there is no such precedent..." Xu An swallowed his saliva.
Lan Tian smiled and said, "Neither the previous Books and Newspapers Office, nor the current Medical Administration, should there have been none? There is no precedent, and I will set a precedent. In the future, there will be many yamen directly under the State Shepherd's Mansion."
"Understood, the relationship between the medical department and the county doctor..." Xu An's heart skipped a beat.
"The Department of Medicine is in charge of the medical affairs of the whole prefecture, which naturally includes the doctors of all counties. I will inform Prefect Xiahou and Prefect Yuan about this matter. In my eyes, you are at the same level." Lan Tian threw a big bomb.
"You must do your best in a humble position, and you will definitely live up to the entrustment of the lord." Xu An bowed and saluted.
The administrative structure at the end of the Han Dynasty consisted of four levels: imperial court, prefecture, county, and township. The governor of the state was sent by the imperial court to supervise the place, so the state was not a formal administrative unit. The rank of the governor of the state was only [-] shi, but he could supervise counties with a rank of [-] shi. It was not until Liu Yan proposed to restore the state pastoral system that the state pastors were above the county guards.
The medical department established in Lantian is a state-level government office, which brought forward the provincial system only in the Yuan Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, and formed a five-level administrative organization of the imperial court, prefecture, county, county, and township, and the later generations of the central, provincial, city, and county , Township consistent.
The provincial system has a far-reaching impact. Lantian first conducted a trial in Jiaozhou. In the future, the population and wealth of Dading will grow, and more meticulous management will be required to keep up. At that time, it will be easy to carry out reform and promotion. After all, there will be many more official positions, but The premise is that the productivity is high enough to match.
In July of that year, Liu Bei negotiated with Zhuge Liang and others to appoint Zhang Fei as the prefect of Brazil to station troops in Langzhong. In addition to guarding Micang Road, the dangerous road into Hanzhong, he also recruited Ba, Xiao and other barbarians nearby to prepare for the capture of Hanzhong.
The main road from Hanzhong to Shu is Jinniu Road connecting Jiange and Jiameng Pass, while Mi Cang Road exists as an auxiliary road. Liu Bei does not set up heavy troops at Jiameng Pass on Jinniu Road. Showing the illusion that they will not go north for the time being.
At the same time, Cao Cao moved his main force from Runan to Huainan to attack Sun Quan.
Because southern Anhui was captured by Sun Quan and tens of thousands of people were taken away, and Cao Cao forced the people to relocate before withdrawing from Ruxukou, a large number of people panicked and fled to Jiangdong, leaving the vast area in southern Hefei and the entire Lujiang County The population is less than [-]% of the original, forming a strategic buffer zone with strong walls and clear fields.
Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao was coming again with a large army, so he had to lead Lu Meng and others to Ruxukou to defend against the enemy.
When Cao Cao marched near Xincai, his conspirator Xun You died of illness. From then on, the Xun family, the leader of the Yingchuan gentry, and the two leading elder brothers passed away one after another. It happened that they both died of illness on the way to conquer Wu.
Cao Cao was the Duke of Wei at this time, and he was nearly [-] years old. He had long lost the momentum of his youth. He returned to Xudu under the pretext of Xun You's funeral. The battle against Wu was over before it even started.
From Cao Cao's raising of troops to becoming the Duke, there was the support of the Henan gentry represented by Yingchuan behind them. They complemented each other and used each other to maintain a delicate balance. As a counselor, Cao Cao almost went smoothly and rarely lost battles, but since he called Wei Gong, there was a rift between the two sides.
Until Xun Yu and Xun You died of illness, the Henan gentry stopped having illusions about Cao Cao. From this moment on, they collectively chose to play badly, and Cao Cao's military career began to decline.
