Cen Wenwen bowed and said, "The minister is here!"
Li Jiancheng said: "For the imitation, give Chen Ying a yellow axe with a white flag to save Anxi."
Wei Zheng's face changed drastically. Chen Ying's power is already strong enough, and giving Chen Ying more power will be a disaster rather than a blessing to the court.
Before Wei Zheng could speak, Li Jiancheng went on to say, "Give Xue Wanche, the General of Zuowuwei, the General of Zuowei, and go out of the town to appease the Xizhou Road. Xizhou Road is under the jurisdiction of Yanqi Prefecture, Tingzhou, Huozhou (today's Turpan), Xinzhou, Huzhou, and Tazhou (today's southeast of Bayingolengzhou)."
Speaking of this, Wei Zheng was ecstatic.
The most prosperous area of Anxi Daduhufu is actually in the east, where it is connected to Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, etc. Now, under the order of Li Jiancheng, the Anxi Nineteen Prefectures have been dismantled from the six districts in the eastern half. The 61 counties in the state almost cover the best part of Anxi.
In this way, Chen Ying's jurisdiction will be greatly reduced, but Li Jiancheng assigned the entire territory of Tubo to Chen Ying, and let Chen Ying govern the Kucha, Shule, and Tubo in the Anxi Dadu Protectorate.
Although the total area has not decreased, but has increased by more than [-] miles, the population has decreased by nearly one-third, and the Tibetans in the territory have become the first ethnic group.
……
When Chen Ying received Li Jiancheng's imperial edict, it was already the end of November in the third year of Kaiyuan.
Chen Ying did not live in the Songtsan Gampo Palace, not because Chen Ying was afraid of overtaking, but mainly because he couldn't bear the smell inside.
The Tibetans take cow dung as a symbol of wealth, and whoever has more cow dung will be rich.Of course, the reason for this custom is very simple. Compared with other regions in China, the coal resources in Tubo Xueyuan are very scarce, which is the main reason for the geological formation of Xueyuan Continent.
Although the proven reserves of coal in later generations are nearly one billion tons of coal, the coal is not as good as the Zhundong mining area in Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang, where the storage capacity exceeds 40 billion tons, and it is a shallow coal mine, almost in the form of semi-open pit.
But in Xueyuan, it is not so difficult to promote the use of coal in Chen Ying's view.
First of all, transportation is very difficult. Even if the coal located near Ye County is as cheap as dirt, the value of transporting snowfields is more than a hundred times higher.
On average, a car of coal needs to increase the cost of thousands of dollars.Almost every catty of coal can be sold for three to five cents, which is almost equivalent to the price of a bucket of grain, and even Chen Ying feels pain in the flesh.
Cow dung is the main fuel for Tibetans, even Songtsan Gampo is not immune to it. In Songtsan Gampo's palace, there are more than a thousand servants alone, plus armored guards, more than 5000 people live in normal times.In such a large palace city, the daily fuel consumption would be an astronomical figure.
In order to meet the heating needs of the palace, the Tibetans set up a total of six light and dark cow dung storage warehouses in the palace. I don’t know how long the cow dung has been stored here. Anyway, it is especially the cow dung in the dark room. The methane inside ignited.
Chen Ying's Songbangbao City tastes good in winter, but the key is that in summer, it is definitely not a place for people to stay, it can smell so bad that the brain lacks oxygen.Naturally, Chen Ying would not live in a dung heap, so he moved out of Songbangbao City, found a hot spring valley in the Yangni River Valley of Songbangbao City, and built a hospital and camp here.
Chen Ying is now the uncrowned king of Anxi. Wherever he is, there is Anxi's political center.
When Chen Ying was in Songbangbao City, Songbangbao City was very prosperous, with merchants and rich people gathered. However, when Chen Ying moved to Yangnihe City, Songbangbao City declined rapidly.
When receiving Li Jiancheng's imperial decree, Chen Ying was obviously taken aback.
Because, Chen Ying actually gave him the power to Jiedu Anxi, and Jiedushi made this official position appear more than 100 years earlier than in history.
Jiedushi is different from Anxi Dadu Protectorate, the latter is a management organization, while the former is just an official position.
It mainly manages the military and has no power to manage civil affairs.
In the initial Jiedushi, there was actually no difference between the commanders of the large military regions, but in the middle and late stages, when the Jiedushi was in charge of civil affairs, there was already no difference between the Tudi Emperors.Once the Jiedushi rebelled, the court had no other way but to suppress the rebellion.
Of course, the change for Chen Ying is that he has an extra face, and he wrote to Chen Ying, the Jiedu envoy of the Anxi Army.
After looking at the edict, Ma Zhou smiled and said, "Congratulations, my lord!"
"There's nothing to congratulate!" Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "Is the thing you prepared ready?"
Ma Zhou bowed and said, "Okay!"
Chen Ying sighed and said: "In the eyes of those officials and masters in the court, this general is now a high and powerful general, and he is the king of Anxi who deserves his name!"
Ma Zhou said, "Isn't it?"
"No, actually they are all wrong!" Chen Ying pointed to the distance and said: "Now Tubo is a blank slate, and it is still a restricted area for the nobles. Here, it is just a test field for the general."
Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou's "Negotiating a Ding Ding Ren Mu", while searching for historical data in his mind.
Chen Ying spent nearly half a year to conceive of a feasible solution for Tubo.
Chen Ying is now testing the feasibility of Datang's future governance strategy in Anxi.
Ma Zhou tried: "It's really feasible, they will join forces to oppose the Lord!"
Chen Ying laughed disapprovingly and said, "Is this general afraid of their rebellion? If they dare to rebel, they will test the sharpness of my horizontal knife with their necks!"
Ma Zhou opened his mouth and didn't try to persuade him any more.
He knew that Chen Ying was a man of his own mind, and the things he decided would never be changed.
"Let's execute it!" Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Order Mo Dao Army, Beiwei Army, Xiao Cavalry Army, and Yue Cavalry Army to keep their eyes on the bright spot!"
Ma Zhou sighed in his heart, he knew that this order would definitely change the color of the world and kill people everywhere.
Chapter 1 He Must Live Until That Time
Chapter 1 He Must Live Until That Time
As a giant standing on the shoulders of history, Chen Ying sees it more clearly than Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who are the most allied in the Tang Dynasty.The biggest root of Tang Dynasty's turn from prosperity to decline did not lie in Li Longji, but in the early Tang Dynasty.Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan, who both formulated the framework structure of the Tang Dynasty and the law of Wude.
Just like Zuyong modulation, in February of the second year of Wude (619), Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that "rent two stones, two feet of silk, and three taels of cotton" per dina.Ding Nan was over 20 years old and was granted [-] mu of land, of which [-] mu was Yongye land and [-] mu was subdivision land.Return to the field after death.The government collects rent and adjustments from the people based on land grant records.Regardless of rich or poor, all pay a fixed amount of rent.
With the help of Li Mi, Li Jiancheng formulated this rent-yong adjustment, which greatly eased the embarrassment of the Tang Dynasty since the defeat of Qianshuiyuan in the first year of Wude and the financial depletion, and laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Li Jiancheng did not consider that any political system has a certain timeliness.Once the population increases explosively and exceeds the capacity of the land, it will lead to great changes.The adjustment of the rent-yong must be coordinated with the equal-field system. Once the equal-field is destroyed, the law of the rent-yong adjustment will fail. After the Wu Zhou Dynasty, due to the increase in population and continuous land mergers, the imperial court no longer has land to implement the equal-field system. The payment of fixed rent adjustments made farmers unable to afford it, and most of them fled.
Of course, whether it was the defeat of Taluosi or Dafeichuan, including the Anshi Rebellion that followed, the biggest root cause was actually the collapse of the rent-yong modulation system.
The collapse of a founding system is also the fall of a dynasty.Cao Cao Xing also farms, and Cao Wei also farms when he loses.The Ming Dynasty prospered and defeated the military household system.The Manchus succeeded in iron crops, and lost in iron crops, turning 300 million people into stupid pigs.As for Chang Shenkai, he was a Whampoa in success and Whampoa in defeat.
No one can escape this reincarnation, no one can break this vicious circle.
Chen Ying can clearly see the disadvantages of Zuyong's modulation. Chen Ying believes that Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, even Wang Gui, Wei Ting, including Yang Gongren, and even Yuwen Shi and them, must also be able to see this problem.The point is, they are all smart people, and they all want to be wise and protect themselves.
Naturally, Chen Ying was not willing to be the top bird. He understood the reason that the top citron rotted first. Chen Ying did not want to be Shang Yang. Any political reform would be bloody and would inevitably touch the cheese of the vested interest class, so But whoever reforms first will not end well, and will definitely bring disaster to future generations.
Chen Ying didn't want to be Shang Yang, and it wasn't easy to see Datang continue on the original path, going further and further away. Therefore, when he was appointed as the Chief Protector of the Western Regions, he consciously implemented the system of dividing the land into the mu.
Internal governance is not like a battlefield, where the enemy is there, leading the soldiers to crush them all the way, and finally win.Even if the troops are at a disadvantage, Chen Ying is not worried. After all, he can use his golden fingers, the power of science, and the power of equipment to make up for the disadvantage in numbers.
So when he was in Anxi, Chen Ying adopted the strategy of using a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other. With the prestige of protecting Khan's 20 troops and defeating Murong Fuyun's [-] troops, Chen Ying carried out the assimilation very smoothly.
Of course, the same is true in Tibet.The ordinary Tibetan slaves and people here are also very simple, but for their tribal leaders, because of their different education, they are not uncivilized barbarians, but very smart people. It's a monkey.
Following Chen Ying's order, the 300 million slaves in Tubo were smashed and their shackles were broken. Each of them was allocated a piece of land, and Datang Tongli Bank gave them loans to develop cultivation.Of course, every new farmer needs to pay a tenth of his income in tax.
Chen Ying has supreme prestige in Tubo, and he encountered resistance in promoting the movement to liberate the serfs. However, whether these anti-Songtsan Gampo tribal leaders, or the leaders of various ministries in Tubo, they dare not Resisting with force, the smoke of Songbangbao had just cleared, and everyone dared not try. Chen Ying once again sacrificed the sky thunder.
After all, the miracles they passed on by word of mouth have not been truly verified, and the miracles performed by Chen Ying, they have all seen with their own eyes.
