Chapter 216 Half a Year
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were not only heroes competing for the throne, but also governing the world and calming the people, not to mention Liu Bei has always been concerned about people's livelihood, exceeding his desire to expand.

"Although for the status quo of the big man, the complete peace of the world is the real once and for all..." Zhang He couldn't help but tease.

It's hard to say anything, the eyes of the ancient people were basically focused on the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty.

If it is more extreme, it can be considered as the Central Plains, Hebei and Guanzhong.

In the eyes of old aristocratic families, Bashu and Jiangnan are wild lands.

Just look at the past dynasties of Jiaozhou, not all of them were places of exile...

It is also because Xuantu County is dominated by mountains, and the livable land is in the east coast plain, which is now occupied by Goguryeo, and there is no mention of taking it back.

"As long as Jiangnan is fully developed, it can guarantee that the Han Dynasty will not be chaotic for 40 years. If the Liaodong area is fully developed, it will be able to maintain chaos for another 40 years..." Zhang He talked endlessly.

"Why do you say that?" Cai Yong asked on the opposite side.

The old man came to visit today. After serving as the prefect of Jincheng County for two years, he is about to be transferred to Zuo Fengyi.

Zhang He was in charge of the military administration of the four counties, so Cai Yong naturally wanted to come to visit, mainly because he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he came to visit his daughter and grandson.

Yes, Cai Yan gave birth to a boy a month ago. This is the eldest son of the Zhang family, who is five years younger than Zhang Heng.

By the way, Zhang Heng will start receiving enlightenment this month.

For this reason, Cai Yan and Fu Shou have already started preparing courses.

"The turmoil in a dynasty is often after the resource allocation has ended. There are more and more people in each family, and the existing industry is no longer enough to support them. Without reducing resources and ensuring that the children can smoothly become officials, they can only continue to plunder other families and self-cultivated farmers. resources." Zhang He replied.

If the resource allocation is insufficient, then make the cake bigger and ensure that there is always resource allocation.

"Da Dao, it's good that you can see clearly, but it's not the case." Cai Yong shook his head, "The change of dynasty is always the result of the promotion of the upper class, and has little to do with the lower class."

"How do you say that?" Zhang He was a little surprised.

"All the factions have come to an end, and the fourth and fifth generations have come out, so some people can't sit still." Cai Yong replied.

Compared with the end of civil resource allocation, the end of political resource allocation is the scariest thing.

In the beginning, any dynasty had three or four political factions, or even seven or eight factions.

After 50 to [-] years, basically there will be only two, or even one.

The problematic political resources have been allocated, and there are no more resources to eat away at.

Whoever eats more and whoever eats less becomes a problem.

Basically, there are only two factions left, so the change of dynasty will enter the countdown.

Either the faction with real power will transition peacefully, or the faction with power will be excessively violent.

Huo Guang and Wang Mang, in a sense, are the embodiment of the transition between the two regimes.

What Cai Yong means is that it doesn't matter whether your resource allocation is over or not, there are only so many officials at the top, after all.

Whoever goes up and who goes down, everyone is in the same faction, and it's wrong to favor anyone.

As for the party leader himself, he has no family?

Especially when there are two factions in the imperial court, the weaker faction will target the other last few families.

Cannibalize them, then carve up their quota, and finally help your own people to rise to the top.

The members of this faction that was eaten away are not fools, so they naturally hope to have more quotas, not only for their own family, but also to prevent them from falling behind and being hunted by another faction.

Political struggle, in a sense, is really cruel.

After all, if it fails, the whole family will be implicated.

For this reason, the families that are still in power will support the children of these declining families a little bit.

Maybe one day when they come back to power, they may not be able to continue to be in power at that time.

This is a risk investment, or self-insurance behavior.

Thinking of this, Zhang He feels a little frustrated. If he can't avoid the change of dynasty if he makes the cake bigger, then why do he work so hard?
No, I am not the emperor, and the change of dynasty is also the change of dynasty by the big man...

"There has never been an empire that lasts forever, but the expansion of territory can indeed slow down the process to a certain extent." Cai Yong felt that Zhang He should not be hit too hard. "It's just that the time should be shortened a little, 20 years, no more!"

The development of the huge Jiangnan can only be delayed for 20 years?
Counting the development time, isn't it just that the development of the front foot has just been completed, and the time for the back foot has already arrived?
This is not a big cake, it is clearly a race against the progress of the dynasty change.

"Cai has studied for a long time, and thinks that the best way to stop this process is to move! The number of wealthy families reaches a certain level, and the excess will move to other places, such as the Jiangnan you mentioned, such as Liaodong..." Cai Yong stroked his beard.

Unexpectedly, the core of the change of dynasty is that there are too many children of each faction, so the too many collateral children are moved to other places.

One is to enrich the local population, the other is to drag down those wealthy families, and the third is to reduce their population to slow down the speed of factional struggles.

"It's not up to you and me to decide, is it?" Zhang He teased.

"The question Da Dao insists on opening this topic, so the old man will naturally follow along." Cai Yong said with a smile, "Don't talk about that, I have to go see my grandson. By the way, those little-nosed pouches you sent earlier, very nice!"

"It's just a trial product, as long as the father-in-law likes it." Zhang He nodded.

The calf-nosed jacket looks a bit like a loincloth. After all, there is no rubber band, so the only way is to tie it with a rope.

After all, it is close-fitting clothes, fine linen is not suitable, Zhang He had tried silk earlier.

It is possible, but the cost is a bit high and it is not suitable for promotion.

Until the beginning of last year, Zou Yu got cotton. After he spent half a year improving the variety, he spun the cotton wool into cotton yarn, and finally weaved cotton cloth.

The price is still higher than that of linen, the yield is high, and the cold and drought resistance is also strong. Zhang He recommended that it can be promoted in the west of Wuwei.

In this way, Wuwei produced cotton cloth, sold it in other places, and exchanged it for food supply.

Some places that are not suitable for growing food can gradually settle down.

Liu Bei has already approved this proposal, and began to arrange manpower to promote it.

Now the time has come to 191 AD, the second year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty, and it has already arrived in June.

In the first year of Chuping, the feudal lords called for Dong, but from the second half of the year to the first half of this year, all the places were peaceful, which finally meant something like "Chuping".

Following Cai Yong, Zhang He went to the backyard, where the girls were holding their children, chatting and laughing.

The eldest son Zhang Heng (6 years old) and the eldest daughter Zhang Ya (5 years old) went out to play. After all, the children of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also in Chang'an.

Cai Yan is holding Zhang He's eldest son, Zhang Yu, who is a kind of beautiful jade.

It's better to say that the words next to the word Wang are more or less related to jade.

What Bian Linglong was holding in her arms was the second daughter, Zhang Yun. The daughter's daughters had discussed with each other, and except for Zhang Ya, they were all named after grass and trees.

Just say that Yun is a kind of vanilla.

In Zou Yu's arms is the third daughter Zhang Qiang, which means rose flower.

In Fushou's arms is the third son Zhang Rui. Rui is the general name of jade articles held by ancient monarchs and ministers as vouchers when they meet with guests.

These four children were all born last year, and the birth time was concentrated within one month.

What really interested Zhang He was that Bian Linglong's second child was a daughter.

I thought that the first four babies should all be boys.

It is said that it is the man who gave the Y chromosome, but the traditional concept is that the mother's side is fighting for the stomach.

Think about it too, after all, they are both a man, Bian Linglong has four males, and others may have four females.

Excluding the fact that the father is someone else, it is generally believed that the woman's belly is strong, not how powerful the man is.

From another perspective, would Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong be born from another concubine of Cao Cao?
"Speaking of which, the situation in Kanto is not right." Cai Yong teased his grandson, then suddenly raised his head, "Maybe there will be chaos again soon, you'd better make arrangements early!"

 There are some problems with these two chapters. I originally planned to skip a year, but I miscalculated the time.

  In 189, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and in 190, the princes challenged him. After that, it was the end of the year, so it will be 192 years after another year. There were also many historical events in 191, and it cannot be said that it will be abolished.

  In the end, it was adjusted to half a year. Some content may not be adjusted well, so it was delayed.

  I have written two chapters, I have to get up and continue to solve Chapter 3...
