Do you know how many counties there are in houzhao? Even Shi Hu may not remember clearly.
In the post Zhao regime, there were twelve prefectures at one level, namely Jizhou, Binzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, Xuzhou, Liangzhou, some areas of Jingzhou and some areas of Youzhou.
Each state has at least ten counties, and some larger states even have twenty or thirty counties, which is not as high as the administrative level of counties during the Han Dynasty.
In addition, because the Hu people do not know how to govern the country... Or Shi Zhao is eager to turn the central plains into a huge pasture, they adopt the strategy of reducing Dingkou in most places. What do you mean by that? It is to concentrate the population in several important states and make those unimportant states sparsely populated.
In fact, it's good to seriously calculate Qingzhou. If it's in Sizhou or Youzhou, the population of the whole state really doesn't know whether there are 100000 people. At least there are four or five million Hu and Jin people in Qingzhou (the data is unreliable).
The whole post Zhao Dynasty is relatively prosperous in Jizhou, because the capital of post Zhao Dynasty, Xiangguo (Yecheng), is in Jizhou.
To whom is it to say that Xiangyang is prosperous? It has been nearly a month and a half since Zhang Shi came to Xiangyang. He has no sense of where the so-called prosperity of the capital is reflected.
Xiang is the capital! But on the streets of the capital, it is very frequent and common to see bodies. What body? There are all kinds of fighting, and there are bony starving victims. Although both Hu people and Jin people have corpse pillows on the streets, most of them are Jin people after all
"Wang Cong, are you the son of an aristocratic family?" When Zhang Shi walked, he didn't deliberately choose the roadside. What he wore was not an orthodox Jin style, but a kind of... How to say, it should be a unique corset style in the Han Dynasty?
Wang Cong's clothes are also the style of the Han Dynasty. In fact, if the time goes back and "moves" for hundreds of years, the clothes are the samurai clothes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but they are really different from the current Jin style.
Jin people like to be casual and elegant, with a pair of lapels and waist tied, and wide sleeves... Of course, this is something that people with status can afford to wear. Ordinary people can't even afford a piece of cloth.
Zhang Shi and others came with a mission, representing the Han Dynasty. They wore a style different from that of the Jin people, and hung a war sword or sword on their waist. Whether from their costumes or their mental outlook, they looked like they were not Jin people. In this way, although they still have some trouble in Xiangguo, they will not be harassed by ordinary Hu people.
"Back in charge, Cong is Wang, but... It's just a distant collateral branch." Wang congpo was a little overcast. Maybe he felt his face was wrong. He adjusted it and turned into a bitter smile: "if not, he won't be left behind."
Zhang Shi just nodded simply. Who among the Jin people in the Central Plains and those who were taken in by the Han ministry did not have their own stories? It's meaningless to be miserable, but it's just to increase your negative emotions. Since they were admitted into the Han Dynasty, they could also be entrusted with an important task by Liu Yan. They should think about how to get things done and get a new life.
Xiangguo is slightly better than other cities in that it is not so dilapidated, and the pedestrians on the streets are more popular. There are many people. If you observe carefully, white Capricorn people show their arrogance as a "national race" wherever they are. No matter what clothes they wear or who they face, they are a proud face of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world".
Who looks the most cautious in the street? There is no doubt that it will be from Jin. Whether rich or poor, slaves or officials, these Jin people basically walk by the street as far as possible. They often look around when walking. They can see their fear without special observation.
Yes, except for a few Jin people, most Jin people are not even as good as beasts in the post Zhao regime. Even if they are killed, they are just a matter of the murderer paying a few sheep's skins. Can they not live in fear without a sense of security all the time?
Zhang Shi, Wang Cong and others are going to meet a slightly distinguished Jin man named Jiang Gan this time.
This Jiang Gan and the Jiang Gan of the Three Kingdoms have the same surname and the same name, but they are definitely not the same person. He is a disciple of Ran min's mansion. (Note: because it is easy to identify, we call ran min directly. At this stage, we should actually call him Shi min.)
Zhang Shi inquired about Jiang Gan. The news he got was that Jiang Gan, Zhang Qian, Xiao Quan, Miao song and Liu Yi were all confidants of Ran min, and they were also important figures in the shogunate built by ran min.
Ran min's position in houzhao is not low. It should be said that he is the best two people to mix with Li Nong in his military career. They can influence the state affairs of later Zhao Dynasty in certain things, but it is nonsense to say how much Shi Hu trusts.
In fact, when the Jin Dynasty came, the history returned to the appearance of the spring and Autumn period. All kinds of dignitaries and even big door families wantonly recruited door guests and episodes. The prevalence of the atmosphere is the same as taking five stone powder.
What is five stone powder? This thing was popular among some famous scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is equivalent to an alternative poison ~ product. Famous scholars believe that obeying Wushi powder can strengthen their body and relax their spirit?
Zhang Shi had given up contacting ran min and started with those greedy Korean officials, but yesterday he was suddenly greeted by a person named Jiang Gan.
The literary ministers of the later Zhao regime did not have much power, especially after the death of all the scholars of Zhang Bin's generation, Shi Hu didn't like Confucianism at all. The Confucianism who once got up in shile did not do much.
Jiang Gan naturally did not leave a post or the name of Hou's family in the newspaper. He believed that someone in the Han Dynasty would find out.
Xiucheng Hou is the title of Ran min, who is now an official of beizhonglang general and has the title of guerrilla general. In fact, the official positions of Hou Zhao are a little messy. It is common for a person to hold several positions. The more prominent people are, the more official hats will be on their heads. For example, Yao Yizhong is still the governor of ten counties and six Yi provinces and the champion general.
What made ran min interested in contacting the Han Dynasty? A few days ago, news came back from Gaomi County in Qingzhou that Yao Yizhong's son Yao Yimai led the army to recruit an emerging tribe. As a result, Yao Yimai was defeated twice in a row. More than 7000 miscellaneous Hu were killed and injured, and 30000 people were scattered in two wars.
Emerging tribes, such as defeating Yao Yimai, ran min will not be interested in these. New tribes appear every day in the land of the Central Plains, and then old tribes will be destroyed. What is worth paying attention to? They only pay attention to one thing, that is, they inadvertently found that the weapons and salt produced by the Han Dynasty are not small?
Weapons, even the imperial court's weapons production scale is not large. An emerging local tribe can sell weapons outside in addition to arming itself?
Besides weapons, there is salt? Do you know what "salt and iron policy" is? Oh, yes, Hu people don't know what salt and iron policy is. If they do, they won't govern the country so badly. However, ran min knows, and knows very well, that is the foundation of a country, which can make the country prosperous or weak.
Ran min knew that some of the great Confucians in the dynasty would know what salt and iron politics was, but the people sent by the Han Dynasty firmly blocked the mouths of the great Confucians with gold. Before they were fed, the great Confucians would delay the reporting time. He wants to take advantage of the benefits that can be taken before the great scholars change their words. In this way, the behavior that he originally despised should be changed
