The World of Yellow Sky

When he was still in Yizhou, there were earthquakes in Chang'an City in October and December, but the scale was not large. He just felt the shock and did not cause any damage to humans or animals. However, there were some dilapidated buildings in the first place. Houses were destroyed.

In ancient times, earthquakes were called earth dragons turning over, and they were believed to be caused by underground dragons churning.

In the Han Dynasty, the interaction between heaven and man was emphasized, so many times the officials at that time might be dismissed because of this.

In the original time and space, it was precisely because of the earthquake in the fourth year of Chuping that Sikong Yang Biao was dismissed.

But now Chang'an is occupied by Xu An, Xu An is very clear that the so-called earthquake is not some kind of earth dragon turning over, but a natural disaster.

In Xu An's place, there is no sense of heaven and man, after all, in the preaching of Tai Ping Dao, Xu An is Huang Tian, ​​what sense does he want?

So Dilong turned around in the official statement of Taipingdao, and became the movement caused by Taipingdao's talisman cutting off the Hanting dragon vein.

Originally, Xu An thought it would take some talking, but he didn't expect that once the news got out, everyone would believe the words.

Even some embroidered emissaries hidden in Chang'an jumped out and assassinated the Taiping Dao Fu Zhu in Chang'an city.

Not only ordinary people, but also the Han court really believed this statement.

Xu An originally wanted to eliminate the negative effects of the earthquake, but in the end the earthquake turned out to be a good thing, which not only strengthened the orthodoxy of Taiping Dao, but also weakened the prestige of Hanting.

Calling the king and founding the country is not only the matter of Xu An, but also the matter of other people in Taipingdao.

In history, there are many cases of adding yellow robes and persuading them to proclaim themselves kings and emperors. It is because after proclaiming themselves kings and emperors, the new king and new emperor need to reward the officials. Generally speaking, they will go further. some money.

The founding of Taipingdao was naturally unavoidable.

The founding ceremony is over, but the reward ceremony after the founding ceremony will still be held.

The list of rewards has been drawn up, and Xu An is waiting for Xu An to go to the main hall of the Xuanzheng Hall to announce, but Xu An is standing in the back hall of the Xuanzheng Hall and does not take any action.

"Is the granary in Zhongzhou stocked with grain?"

In the back hall of the Xuanzheng Hall, Xu An's face was a little dignified, and he turned his head to Xu You who was beside him and asked.

Xu You is the government order of the Zhongshu Mansion, and the Chengxuan envoy of Zhongzhou. When he went to Yizhou, most of the government affairs were handed over to Xu You by Xu An.

"The ice and snow melted not long ago, and enough grain has been shipped from Bingzhou. Now the granaries in various places have been filled. Please rest assured, Minggong."

Xu You heard Xu An's question, and replied with confidence.

Before that, he was a little dissatisfied with Xu An's appointment of Jia Xu as the magistrate of the Zhongjun Mansion, but he was not promoted to a position, but with the establishment of the Three Mansions and Nine Departments, after he was promoted to be the magistrate of the Zhongshu Mansion, that dissatisfaction disappeared. up.

The Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Agricultural Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all under the management of Zhongshufu, which can be described as a real high position and weight.

Compared with the prime minister in Qin Shi, his power is not much worse.

However, Xu You also knew that Xu An's establishment of the system has always been about trade-offs, and the current arrangement is only a temporary follow-up and will definitely be re-divided.

In fact, the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also directly under Xu An.

But it feels good to be able to enjoy the power now, and Xu You will naturally not discount much of what Xu An explained.

"When there is great chaos, there must be a great disaster, and after a great disaster, there must be a great epidemic. Just in case, let the convoy go back and forth a few times to transport some medicinal materials to Chang'an City."

Xu An pondered for a moment, then continued.

"You should also pay attention to the investigation of official corruption, and there have been some signs of it in recent days. Although the Eagle Wolf Guard is monitoring it, you can't let it go."

"I have already notified the procurator of the criminal punishment, and they will fully cooperate with you."

"I have already arranged for Wei Lu to go over to try the matter in Bingzhou."

"promise."

Xu You bowed his hands and said in a solemn voice.

Regarding corruption, Xu You knew very well that Xu An was a grain of sand that could hardly be rubbed in his eyes, and he had always dealt with it strictly.

Because Xu An implements the policy of high salaries and cleanliness, and there are Eagle Wolf Guards as supervisors, and the punishment is assisted by the procuratorate, so the administration of officials in Taiping Road is still relatively clear.

But just now there was a letter from Bingzhou that the sheriff of Shangdang County was corrupt and broke the law, leading to a big case, so now Xu An got a little angry, and even sent Wei Lv over there.

We must know that Wei Lv is the chief official of the Ministry of Justice, one of the nine bureaucrats, which is enough to see Xu An's anger.

Xu You hasn't taken a single point of deduction until now, and he has been involved in corruption and bribery.

After all, the Eagle Wolf Guard in Chang'an City is not just a decoration, the headquarters of the Eagle Wolf Guard is in Chang'an.

Moreover, Xu An already paid him quite a lot of salary every year, and he also distributed a lot of land outside Chang'an City to his family.

When the Dongchuang incident happened, Xu's family escaped a lot because of the timely delivery of the letter, and they fled all the way to the place occupied by Taiping Road.

After Xu An captured Guanzhong and appointed Xu You as the chief envoy of Zhongzhou, Xu You asked for the Xu family to move to the vicinity of Chang'an City.

Besides, it's just stupid to lose a high position for a little money.

Xu You could see very clearly that the status of the Sanfu in Taipingdao was equivalent to that of the Sangong of the Han court, and had a higher gold content than the other Sangongs. At least there was no need to worry about being deprived of their official positions due to natural disasters.

"How is the land reclamation in the dry swamp areas of Zhongzhou?"

Xu An's complexion was a little gloomy. His complexion couldn't get better after such a thing happened just after the founding of the country, but he still didn't forget the business.

For farming societies, the biggest disasters are drought, locust plague, and flood.

In Xu An's memory, among the three kinds of famines at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most frequent ones were drought and locust plagues, among which locust plagues were the most serious.

Taiping Road is now building water conservancy projects in various places, and it has cost a lot of money. Floods and embankments will basically not happen.

In the case of drought, there are certain preventive measures. After all, so many water conservancy projects are not decorations. The construction team of Taiping Road has drilled some deep wells in various places, which can ensure that there is still water under not particularly extreme conditions, and temporarily tide over the crisis.

But for the locust plague, it feels a little helpless.

Flying towards the sky to cover the sky and not seeing the sun is like sifting dust with thousands of cloths.

In the evening, there are thousands of hectares of red ground, which are piled up for several feet and buried in each other.

The plague of locusts is very terrifying. It is not even an exaggeration to say that there is no grass.

How to exterminate locusts Xu An has not read systematic books, but has only heard of some local methods.

There is a method called reclamation and elimination of locusts. It is said that the places where locusts breed are all "dry marsh" areas, which must be transformed into farmland. Plants that locusts do not eat, such as mung beans and peas, are used as food preparations for locust disasters.

Another thing is to find the place where the eggs are. Wherever the eggs of locusts breed, there are often countless small holes like beehives on the ground, which must be dug decisively to eradicate them.

"The situation isn't very good..." Xu You's expression turned serious, "Kitbeet eggs have been found in many fields in those places, and according to local reports, this time the katydid eggs are much denser. "

"Although a large number of people have been organized to remove the insect eggs, it may be difficult to contain the insect disaster. After all, we have no way to turn over the entire Zhongzhou soil."

Xu You was still a little puzzled at the beginning why Xu An asked him to build granaries in various places in Zhongzhou. It was not until recently that he understood why Xu An made such a request, and this made Xu You even more frightened. It seems that Xu An had expected this for a long time. generally.

"The other two prefectures also sent some people to reclaim the dry swamp area, but they didn't find so many insect eggs. The main concentration of insect plagues should be in Zhongzhou."

"Zhongzhou..."

Xu An sat on a chair, thinking about Xu You's words.

Now there are all signs that a locust plague is coming.

If the plague of locusts comes on a large scale, the entire Zhongzhou will lose all crops.

Under such circumstances, the spies of the Han and Wei courts lurking in Zhongzhou will definitely take the opportunity to fan the flames and stir up civil uprisings, thereby shaking the foundation of the Taipingdao.

This will be a great test for Taipingdao's governance.

Xu An carefully recalled the memories that had faded in his mind.

He wanted to know how destructive this famine was in the original time and space, but it was so long ago that it was really hard for him to remember things that he didn't remember carefully at the beginning.

"The roads in Zhongzhou will be repaired, and nine more granaries will be built in various places, and grain and grass will be transported from Hanzhong and Bingzhou."

Xu An stood up, since he couldn't remember the circumstances of the disaster, he considered the worst.

Ding Chou, the capital earthquake; Wu Yin, another earthquake.

Yiyou is dark, and there is an eclipse every day.

Since it didn't rain in April and it was the next month, Gu Yihu paid 50 yuan, and the people in Chang'an ate each other.

Bingzi in the sixth month of summer divided the four prefectures of Liangzhou and Hexi into Yongzhou.

Ding Chou, an earthquake; Wu Yin, another earthquake.

Yisi is dark, there is food every day, the emperor avoids the main hall, sleeps the soldiers, and does not listen to things for five days.

big locust.

In autumn and July, Renzi, Taiwei Zhu Jun was exempted.

Wuwu, Taichang Yang Biao was Taiwei, and recorded the affairs of the minister.

There was a severe drought in Sanfu, from April to this month.

The emperor avoided the main hall to ask for rain, and sent envoys to wash the prisoners.

It is Shigu with 50 dendrobium and soybean wheat with 20 dendrobium. People eat each other, and bones accumulate.

Chapter 734 cabinet system, three governments and six ministries.

Whether it is locust plague or drought, there are only some signs now, and they have not really become a problem.

Today is the time for the founding of the country, Xu An did not forget that he will go to the Xuanzheng Hall to reward officials and arrange domestic affairs later.

Now that Taiping Dao is officially established, the Dao, the government, and the military must balance. Xu An is ready to make changes.

"Let's go."

Xu An straightened his robe, looked up and looked forward.

Inside the hall, Jia Xu and Xu You also stood up from their chairs. One of them was the government order of the Chinese Army Mansion, and the other was the government order of the Chinese Army Mansion. They did not wait in the main hall of Xuanzheng Hall, but Wait in the apse.

Xu An stepped forward, Xu Hong and Zhang Ji, one with Teng Xiangwei's bodyguard, the other with Yinglangwei's Tiqi, left and right, the guards followed Xu An out on both sides of Xu An The apse of the Xuanzheng Hall.

Xu Hong has always been the captain of Xu An's personal guard and was later awarded a military position, while Zhang Ji has already become the Thousand Household Officer of the Eagle Wolf Guard. He used to be a small follower behind Xu An, and was transferred by Xu An Entered the court.

In the main hall of the Xuanzheng Hall, there are many soldiers, but all the officials and generals of Taipingdao are not in the hall, they are all waiting to be called in the front hall.

Xu An walked up the steps slowly, and pressed his hand on the armrest of the throne.

The steps of the seats are only nine steps high, which is much shorter than before.

In the early morning of this day, he became the king here and established the country.

Forcibly implementing a democratic republic in this era, a system that has surpassed this era for thousands of years, is tantamount to suicidal.

One step ahead of the times is a genius, but two steps ahead of the times will be regarded as a madman.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the great powers invaded, suffered humiliation, and signed a series of unequal treaties.

Faced with such changes unseen in thousands of years, countless people with lofty ideals in China were unwilling to be humiliated and looked for a way to save the country.

The 2000 Revolution overthrew the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty and ended China's [-]-year-long feudal autocratic monarchy.

In the late Qing Dynasty, politics was dark. In order to compensate for the huge war indemnity signed in the unequal treaties, the Qing government passed it on to ordinary people and collected exorbitant taxes, which doubled the pressure on ordinary people and made it difficult for them to eat.

But even so, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, there were still many people who were unwilling to cut off their braids.

Xu An did not allow the word "Lord" to be called, which obviously had a family name, and used "Ming Gong" instead.

But most of the Taiping Dao officials changed their tunes, but none of the Eagle Wolf Guards, Teng Xiang Guards, and Yellow Angels changed their tunes.

Until now, Liu Pi, Xu Hong and others all call Xu An the Lord.

When a person becomes an adult, his thoughts are fixed and it is difficult to change them.

Why?Because their old thinking has not yet been transformed, and they still feel the need for an emperor.

Only when the trend of thought in society begins to change, only when most people understand.

In this world, there has never been any savior, nor does it depend on a fairy emperor.

They can only rely on their own time, and wait until that time to implement the new system.

It is only 194 years now. During this period, many countries in later generations have not even established civilization, and they are even still in the period of drinking blood.

At the same time, many parts of the world were still wild and undeveloped, with few human tracks.

It is unrealistic to implement a system that has surpassed thousands of years in such an era.

Everything should proceed from reality, and only when theory is combined with practice can it come in handy, so as not to become a castle in the air.

Xu An could have proclaimed himself emperor directly, both in terms of prestige and the territory he occupied were enough.
