Han Shizu

Chapter 1518
The reputation of Mount Tai among the mountains in the world has always been great. As the pillar of the Qilu land, it is also because of the special meaning that has been given to this famous mountain that cannot be called high since ancient times.

Even the top of the Five Sacred Mountains, the Daizong scenic spot, has been quiet for many years. In the past 20 years, although there are many tourists who have climbed the heights and looked far, they are just passers-by.

Around Mount Tai, there are some villages living, relying on the mountains and forests, and guarding them.However, in and out of the mountains, the distribution is relatively scattered, that is, the government collects taxes, and in some places it is necessary to travel hundreds of miles to convey government orders.

Until the tenth year of Kaibao, after the prefect Zhang Qixian took office, due to the special mission on his shoulders, he first turned his attention to the Mount Tai area.

I walked around in person to check its disadvantages, that is, the scriptures, and asked for instructions. In the sun of Mount Tai, a new administrative district will be established, including dozens of surrounding villages. The level is not high, just a town named Daiyue Town, and directly under Yanzhou Prefecture.

In the past 20 years, the "urbanization" trend of Dahan has taken great strides forward. On the basis of the past Jiedujun Town, countless towns have been established under the prefecture and county administration. This is probably also a change brought about by social and economic development. .

These township-level governments are not only reflected in the administrative divisions, but also in the economic attributes that are more prominent.Of course, the newly established Daiyue Town obviously has more political significance, or in other words, it is Zhang Qixian's initiative to complete political tasks.

In the past year, apart from disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction for nearly half a year, from Zhizhou to Zhang Qixian, the focus of the entire Yanzhou prefecture was on the governance of Mount Tai.

Of course, administrative rectification only accounts for a small part of it. The most important thing is that the Yanzhou government has carried out a "cosmetology" on Mount Tai.

In the autumn and winter of the tenth year of Kaibao, when the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties in Henan and Hebei were busy with the aftermath and reconstruction of the people, Yanzhou, which is adjacent to it, was also in full swing, busy building mountains and roads, laying earth to build altars, in short, building large-scale construction.

Within three to four months, the Yanzhou government recruited more than [-] laborers to carry out the project construction.For the Yanzhou government, such a large-scale collection of people's power is already a big move, and it can even be said with certainty that it has delayed the normal construction of people's livelihood, and even farming.

However, there are some things that cannot be viewed only from the perspective of the value of the economy and people's livelihood. Under the premise of political priority, everything has to be compromised, and in this imperial society, the imperial power is greater than the sky.

The ancient and narrow mountain roads that have not been operated for a long time on Mount Tai have been widened on a large scale, and stone steps have been neatly paved to open up a road leading directly to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, build a Dengfeng altar, nine feet wide and five feet high, with majesty on all sides.At the same time, a stone tablet with a height of nine feet and a width of five feet was built. Of course, in the publicity, it was a natural excavated original stone, and its function was to record a series of great achievements of Emperor Liu.

At the foot of the mountain, backed by Wenshui River and facing Mount Tai in the middle, a sacrificial altar was built with five-color soil; Zen altar.

At the same time, the roads from Daiyue Town to Taishan and Liangfu have also been repaired, and the quality standards of the roads have also met the requirements of straight roads, or even exceeded them.All white stone slabs are flat and straight, and since it was built, road patrols have been set up along the way, and no one is allowed to be trampled by vehicles or livestock.

These key buildings also almost cover the specific process of the emperor's enshrining Zen. It can be said without hesitation that this is almost a hodgepodge. No matter from the preparation of the project construction or from the follow-up specific ceremonial process, they all borrow from the predecessors on a large scale. , can find too many actions of the emperors of the past dynasties on Fengchan, and many things are copied.

However, to highlight a Hongda and a comprehensive one, the main implementation is the will of Prime Minister Zhao Pu and the Fengchan preparation ceremonial mission led by him.In Zhao Pu's words, Emperor Liu's accomplishments far surpassed all previous emperors, so in the ceremony of enshrining the Chan, it also covered all aspects.

Although Emperor Liu officially issued an imperial edict to enshrine Zen at the Grand Court Meeting of the Chongyuan Hall in the 11th year of Kaibao, the specific work has already been implemented in various aspects.

Whether it was the auspicious signs that appeared all over the country in the winter of the tenth year of Kaibao, tens of thousands of people in Tokyo went to the imperial city to ask for orders to enshrine Zen, or officials from all over the country jointly expressed their feelings.

It was originally a ceremony of great political significance, but after such a campaign, it added a sanctity to it, and it also caused tremendous pressure on the bureaucrats in charge of it.

In Yanzhou, Zhang Qixian even showed a kind of blame for perfection, and he must do everything by himself, even if it is the position of a tree on the imperial road, he must carefully compare it.

At first, it was planned to build a new road from Daiyue Town to Zhoucheng, but after weighing the scale and construction cost, it was abandoned.

After all, for a road of more than 120 miles, even if the problem of blocking the Wenshui River is ignored, such a project cannot be realized by Yanzhou Prefecture alone, and there is still a time limit.

All in all, the Yanzhou Mansion did its best in the matter of Feng Chan's preparations, without any reservations, and the treasury and warehouses were all empty.To sum it up simply, it is only a waste of time and money.

Of course, it is impossible to rely solely on the power of the Yanzhou government behind this, and that is unrealistic, unless it desperately squeezes the people's power, which is contrary to the Dahan's philosophy of governing the country after all.

The key point is that the imperial court headed by Zhao Pu is very supportive of the work of Yanzhou Mansion, especially in the support of money, food and various construction resources.

In the past year, whether in the court meeting or in front of Emperor Liu, the Financial Secretary complained about the financial constraints more than once.However, for these projects carried out by Yanzhou Prefecture, millions of dollars were allocated at one time without any discount.

Money, after all, has to be spent wisely. Obviously, for the Minister of Finance, Feng Chan is a major event on the knife's edge. It is a matter of political correctness that cannot be questioned or neglected.

Therefore, it is also a waste of people and money, at least among the many projects carried out in Yanzhou Mansion, it has not caused public resentment.The main reason is that, unlike the burden of labor and military service in the usual period, this time you get paid for your work. The rations, clothing, and tools are all provided by the government. The conscripted laborers only need to provide their most valuable labor, and Everyone can get money, food, and service rewards based on the results of their labor.

According to the instructions of the imperial court and the interpretation of the Yanzhou government, the ceremony of enshrining Zen is a major event for His Majesty and the imperial court. In it, it reflects the achievements of the emperor, the strength of the imperial court, and the wealth of the country. It cannot be achieved by squeezing the people. In this process, it shows that the sky responds to the people and favors the people.

The sprinkling of millions of dollars and various resources is indeed a blessing to the local officials and people in Yanzhou.

And in the winter of the past ten years of Kaibao, Yanzhou Mansion has obviously become the most dynamic place in the Central Plains. Obviously, due to the influence of Feng Chan, it has driven the local economic development, even if it is only for a while.

Among the many projects carried out by Dahan in the past, even key projects such as the Hegong Straight Road and the reconstruction of the two capitals can hardly be said to be smooth, otherwise so many corruption cases would not have erupted later.

However, the various projects carried out in Yanzhou Mansion can be described as clear and transparent. In addition to Zhang Qixian's almost abnormal supervision and implementation, it also lies in the seriousness of the matter.

If this kind of political task is done well, it is a merit, and if it is not done well, it is a crime. Even if it is some objective factors, it is difficult to atone for sins, and if something goes wrong due to human factors, it will kill people.

Until February 11th of the [-]th year of Kaibao, after reconciling with the queen, prince, clan, ministers and officials from Luoyang, Yujia officially set off from Kaifeng, heading east to Yanzhou, aiming at Mount Tai, to perform Fengchan.

The same thing, in the 11th year of Kaibao, was out of date, and in the [-]th year of Kaibao, it was what the people wanted and was favored by all.
