As one of the three official envoys, Sang Yu, he went to the south last year, mainly to carry out various purges against local government offices. In fact, he discovered that many officials were corrupting the law.

Because of the limitations of the times, one’s basic background to be an official would not be low. Basically it was either a family or a child of a large family. From the perspective of the southern family (large family), Sangyu's tour of southern counties was a step toward suppressing the southern gentry. The division of the Southern gentry itself, and then the Southern as the defeated party, they have the intention to counterattack but there is no leader. Most of those who can be the leader want to keep a low profile.

　　 When the central hub sent the official document, Sangyu was in Shouchun.

　　 "The flag of the invasion was won, but no food was obtained." As one of the three males, Sangyu was naturally qualified to receive some important information. He already knew that Huanwen won the first battle, but the Gupta dynasty did not give in. He just finished reading another Di Bao, which was about sending envoys to Han from the western countries: "Not as a receptionist, but to supervise projects in various places?"

　　The construction of two national highways in Han is a matter that was negotiated and determined earlier. In the seventh year of Yuanshuo, preliminary work was started. While organizing the people, various materials were dispatched to the counties on the project route.

　　 Sangyu patrolled the south, more or less deliberately to suppress the southern gentry, provided that they really violated the law, and if the gentry everywhere is safe, he just wants to do it.

　　 Sangyu is patrolling in the south, and Cui Yue is patrolling in the north. The attitude of the center is an official attitude, and officials arrested in violation of the law are both in the south and in the north.

　　 It has been eight years since the founding of Han, but it took less than three years to dominate the north and south. The country in the northeast and the grasslands just perished last year. The overall state of the country seems to be thriving. It’s really not too much to say that there are people who want to make trouble.

　　 Official corruption cannot be completely prohibited in any era. Relatively speaking, there are relatively few cases of corruption in officialdom. On the contrary, corruption has been the most serious after the rise of the scholar class.

　　 There is no huge corruption in the current Han country. Officials mostly embezzle materials in terms of corruption, and if time permits, they will make up for it. This situation is basically based on the temporary embezzlement of the family, and the family will make up for it if it slows down. After all, the family pays more attention to the future than the money.

　　 "The current Jiankang Ling is Wang Meng, right?" Sang Yu's questioner was Yuan Qiao. His route to the south has not yet passed through Jiankang. Previously, he focused on the original Yuzhou area and asked: "The servant is going to Jiankang this time going south?"

　　 Yuan Qiao is the one who brought Sangyu the central government official, and he will also be responsible for receiving the envoys of various countries.

　　 Wang Meng was formerly an official in Jizhou, but was later transferred to Jiankang to become a county magistrate. There are no ranks of official positions in the Han country. The salaries are distinguished by the size of the population in the pastoral city. A county with a larger population is a "Ling", and a county with a smaller population is a "Ling". The difference between county magistrates.

　　 Recently, Liu Yan has been considering drawing on the system of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system to plan official positions, that is, the first-rank, second-rank... to the nine-rank system, and will also implement the three-province and six-department system, which requires an excessive process.

　　 There is no absolutely perfect system in the world. It only depends on whether it is suitable or not. The elimination of the system of San Gong and Jiu Qing must be due to its reasons. The implementation of the three provinces and six departments may be a historical trend.

　　 Compared with the "big and transforming" of the three provinces and the six ministries, the three provinces and six ministries are more detailed in the responsibilities of each department, and it is also the ruler's further decentralization of powers over the hundred officials. In fact, after the implementation of the three provinces and six ministries, the prime ministers only became three, no longer a single prime minister under the system of three publics and nine officials, and because there were six ministries, there would still be six senior officials. This kind of weakening, to achieve the goal of consolidating imperial power.

The system of a country does not start to change with a word of the ruler. Every time the system changes, it is a competition for power. Liu Yan already has that meaning, given enough time for hundreds of officials to compete, but official appointments Liu Yan still has the final say.

　　 Liu Yan not only has to establish three provinces and six ministries, he will also establish a cabinet, and then there are the occupational departments that invade outside, all of which take time to pass.

　　 Sang Yu was considering whether to come to Jiankang early, and wanted to give up that idea. He didn't think that those countries could withstand their own reception. They originally had the responsibility to inspect the place, and then was added a responsibility to supervise the project. There was no extra time wasted on seemingly insignificant things.

　　 Yuan Qiao delivered the official document to Sang Yu, and had a banquet with him that night, and set off for Jiankang the next morning.

　　 "Although the ambassador has intentionally suppressed, he did not abuse his power." Wang Biaozhi and Wang Xizhi belong to the same family. He is the second son of Wang Xizhi's uncle, Wang Bin, and Wang Xizhi's cousin. This time, he followed Yuan Qiao in the official position of the official secretary, and the so-called official secretary was not a big official.

"Who is Sang Gong, how can you make arrangements behind your back?" Yuan Qiao didn't feel bad about Wang Biaozhi. He reprimanded Wang Biaozhi when he was born in the south. ) Act."

　　 Yuan Qiao’s actual age is a bit younger than Wang Biaozhi, but his official position is higher than Wang Biaozhi, and he is indeed qualified to speak those words.

The current situation of the Wang clan has long been not one of the four main gates of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Because of their support of the small imperial court against Han, their family strength has been compromised a lot, and they will inevitably be liquidated later. I haven't finished playing much, but the loss of the family wealth is really great. The family servants are disbanded and clean except those far away in the Indochina Peninsula.

　　 The four main gate lords of the original Eastern Jin small court, they had their own circumstances after the fall of the Eastern Jin small court, and they were basically the same in terms of land ownership. The distinction is how many slaves can be left. Furthermore, whether or not anyone in the family is still serving as an official, and what kind of official is the official, is also one of the measures to distinguish the situation.

　　Yu clan has Yu Yi as a court lieutenant, Huan clan You Huan Wen is a general in the south, and Xie clan has Xie An to become a general in the west, but Wang clan has no officials who can handle it. Judging from the condition of each family, the original four gate lords are undoubtedly the worst for the Wang family.

"The king admires Yi Shao very much. Don't cause trouble for Yi Shao." Yuan Qiao said that Yi Shao is naturally Wang Xizhi. Liu Yan recruited Wang Xizhi to become a doctor. Although he is not a high official, Liu Yan often summons him. The conversation is an opportunity for the Wang family to rise again: "This time I have received the errand of receiving the envoys of various countries, and Shuhu has to work hard."

　　 Wang Biaozhi naturally responded respectfully.

　　Shouchun is nearly 300 miles away from Jiankang. Some sections along the way are the best by water, but after arriving at Liangjun, it can only be by land.

　　 The Han Dynasty wiped out the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was said that the families targeted the South, especially those who insisted on resisting. Those aristocratic families were cleaned up by Huan Wen's army, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for ordinary people. A large part of the nationalized land was leased to the people.

With the arrival of the new year, spring is the time for farming. Yuan Qiao can see busy figures everywhere in the countryside all the way down the road. After comparing the scenes of the north and the south, he concludes: "The climate in the north has changed suddenly, and spring farming is difficult. But the south is the same as in previous years."

　　In the north, the people naturally want to farm, but it does not snow or rain much in the sky, and the impact on spring plowing is so great that everyone is worried that even if they plant in spring, they don’t know if they can harvest in autumn.

　　 The center of the Han Kingdom was very sure that the drought was coming, but it did not stop the people in the north from farming, because it is one thing to prevent the people from ploughing in spring.

After farming, the people in the north were recruited by the government in the form of corvette. While the counties and counties recruited strong labor, they also promulgated recruitment notices to attract more people who were not in corvage, rather than compulsory administrative orders. The people are concentrated. Of course, this is because of fear of accidents, and can only be carried out in a normal corvee and persuasion way. When the disaster does happen, the people will only be grateful.

Thanks to the Han army’s repeated defeats of the nomads, Han has no shortage of horses or cattle. It borrows from the pre-Qin oxen leasing method. The north mainly uses horses for farming, and the south uses cattle for farming. There are official farming horses and cattle available for rent.

　　 Yuan Qiao saw that the farming countryside was basically people driving cattle to plow the fields. The people working on the fields were not of a fixed age group, and basically all men, women and children of the whole family were working.

　　 "The north is about to suffer disaster, and the burden on the south is heavier." Wang Biaozhi saw Yuan Qiao staring at him, and he had to explain: "Position is not about increasing taxes, but about regional responsibilities."

　　In the year of the disaster, all dynasties and dynasties who raised taxes on the unaffected areas had done the same thing. It was purely a practice of demolishing the western wall and replenishing the eastern wall.

　　 Liu Yan has naturally received similar suggestions, such as increasing taxes on areas that have not been hit by the disaster. After very rigorous consideration, he did not accept the opinion, but he did not block the suggestion. He vaguely mentioned that he should take the next step according to the situation.

　　 "The big man conquered Gupta, just to plunder food." Yuan Qiao sighed, not knowing what he thought of, "I hope I can get more food, otherwise..."

otherwise? External plundering cannot guarantee food, and internal tax increases will become inevitable. At that time, the South will definitely be wailing.

　　 Entering the boundary of Liang County, Yuan Qiao received a notice from Jiankang that the first group of envoys had landed at Jingkou. The arrangement was made by Jiankang Order Wang Meng to allow the envoys to enter Jiankang City.

The first group of envoys arrived in the Han country. They were from Persian Sassanid, Nysatrap, Karabarras, Lambajana and Jidoro (the Kushan remnant). Among them, the Jidoro delegation was fundamental No prior notification.

　　 "The remnants of the descendants of Guishuang?" Of course, Yuan Qiao knew the former Guishuang Empire, and was surprised that there were still remnants: "Jiankang Ling did not arrange a residence for Ji Duoruo?"

The Jidoro dynasty was not included in the list obtained by Wang Meng. In fact, the Jidoro envoy was temporarily pulled by the Persian Sassanids. There was really no notice to the Han country, so don’t blame Wang Meng for not receiving it with official etiquette. .

　　 Yu He is the third son of the late Yu Liang. He is currently Cheng in Jiankang County. He was assigned by Wang Meng to receive Yuan Qiao and his party through the Yangtze River. Some things need to be communicated in advance.

　　 Yuan Qiao didn't think that there was anything wrong with Wang Meng's actions like that. Han was a big country in the world, and there was no need to look at whose face, on the contrary, it should be someone else who looked at Han's face.

"Jidoruo's envoy is currently being taken in by the Sassanian envoy, and the Shangguan of He has not interfered." Yu He seems to be a very stable person. He is actually Xie Shang's son-in-law. He took Xie Shang's eldest daughter Xie Seng Yao, and then Because Xie Shang's other daughter is married to Yin Xin of the Yin clan, and his brother-in-law is also very good with the Yin clan.

　　 The marriages between families are very frequent, and each family basically has some relatives. It is precisely because of this that the family is more afraid of the ruler.

　　 The envoy of the Persian Sassanian envoy was born in the royal family, and his name was Chianush Alta Aldahir. The deputy envoy was Urgutai Bahram. The total number of their envoys reached 600 people, and there were as many as 30 ships carrying people and cargo.

　　The second largest scale is Liangsatrap. There are more than 300 people besides the envoys and deputy envoys, but the ship they boarded was provided by Han. The number of envoys of the remaining countries ranged from tens to hundreds. Except for Calabras, which was also on their own ships, the rest were all on Han ships. The same thing is that they both carry a lot of cargo.

Yuan Qiao was not surprised to hear that a member of the royal family of Persian Sassan arrived~lightnovelpub.net~ For foreign royal families or something, if the king personally comes, he will pay attention to it, and the prince will also be taken seriously when he comes, royal family members or something. Which country does not have a large number of people?

"The envoys of various countries carry a large amount of goods. Except for a small amount of tribute, the rest is to trade with the big man." Yu He is brooding about this: "The people outside the country are too stupid. Without our permission, they have The goods are brought to the market and sold."

　　 Every country has its own specialties. There is no shortage of ivory, gems and the like on Asan's side. The Persians can get their hands on blankets.

"They didn't sell much of the goods they brought to the market." Yu He was telling it as a joke. He said something funny, and then he said: "After the envoys went to the market, they bought a lot and almost saw nothing. Just buy anything, especially silk."

The Central Plains Dynasty did not understand the obsession and desire of various countries for silk. In fact, the amount of silk traded by the private sector was not large. It was basically bought in bulk by various affordable families, and then it was a special gift from the royal family, so there is not much silk on the market. .

It is a matter of course that the goods brought by the envoys to Han are not sought after. Some people will buy ivory, and gems and the like cannot be sold because of the difference in national values. After all, Zhu Xia likes jade. It is not a gem, even pearls are more sought after than gems.

　　 "As long as there is tax payment, I don't care how they buy or sell." Yuan Qiao really didn't care, but because of the actions of the various envoys, he looked down upon him. nt
