I know how many counties there are in Hou Zhao, so many that even Shi Hu himself may not be able to remember clearly.
In the Later Zhao regime, there were 12 prefectures at one level, and they were Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Sizhou, Yongzhou, Qinzhou, Xuzhou, Liangzhou, parts of Jingzhou, and parts of Youzhou.
Each state has at least ten or more 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 and Han regimes.
In addition, because the Hu people did not know how to govern the country, or because Shi Zhao wanted the Central Plains to become a huge pasture, they adopted a strategy of reducing the number of Dingkou in most places.
What does it mean to concentrate the population in a few states that are more important, and make those that are not important become sparsely populated.
In fact, if you want to calculate it seriously, Qingzhou is not bad, in other words, it is in Sizhou or Youzhou, the population of the entire state really doesn't know if there are 100,000 people, but the Hu and Jin people in the entire Qingzhou together have a data of four or five hundred thousand is not reliable.
The entire Later Zhao is a relatively prosperous place in Jizhou, because the capital of Later Zhao, Xiangguo Yecheng, is in Jizhou.
Talking about the prosperity of Xiangguo, who is it for, Zhang Shi has been in Xiangguo for nearly a month and a half, and he has not felt what the prosperity of the so-called capital is reflected in.
Xiangguo is the capital, but on the streets of this capital, seeing corpses is a very frequent and ordinary thing.
What corpses have all kinds of weapons, there are scrawny starvation.
Although it is said that the Hu people and the Jin people have corpse pillows on the streets, after all, there are still the majority of Jin people "Wang Cong, you are a son of a family" Zhang Shi did not deliberately choose the side of the road when he walked, he was not wearing an orthodox Jin style, what to say, it should be a unique corset style of the Han Department The clothes worn by Wang Cong are also the style of the Han Dynasty, in fact, if the time is "moved" back for hundreds of years, that dress is the samurai uniform of the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it is really different from the current Jin style.
Jin people like to be suave, placket, waist, wide sleeves, of course, this is a status and status of people 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, wearing a style different from that of the Jin people, with a war sword or war knife hanging from their waists, whether it was from the outfit or from the spiritual outlook, they looked like they were not Jin people.
In this way, although they are still in some trouble in Xiangguo, they will not be harassed by ordinary Hu people.
"Back to the steward, although Cong is the Wang family, he is only a far side branch."
Wang Cong was a little hazy, maybe he felt that his face was wrong, so he adjusted it and turned into a wry smile: "If not, it won't be left behind." ” Zhang Shi just nodded simply, the Jin people in the Central Plains, those who were taken in by the Han Department, who did not have their own stories were meaningless, but only to increase their negative emotions.
Since they were accepted into the Han Department and could still be entrusted with important tasks by Liu Yan, they should be thinking about how to get things done and then get a new life.
Xiangguo is slightly better than other castles, it looks less dilapidated, and the pedestrians on the streets seem to be more popular.
There are many people, if you observe carefully, no matter where the Caucasian people are, they show the arrogance of being a "nation", no matter what kind of clothes they wear, or who they are facing, they are a "Lao Tzu is the best in the world" arrogant face.
Whoever looks the most cautious in the street will undoubtedly be the Jin people.
Whether these Jin people are rich or poor, whether they are slaves or officials, they basically walk as close to the street as possible, and they often look left and right when they walk, and they can see the fear in their hearts without special observation.
That's right, except for a few Jin people, most of the Jin people are not even as good as beasts in the Later Zhao regime, even if they are killed, it is just a matter of the murderer paying a few sheepskins, how can they not live in the fear of insecurity all the time Zhang Shi, Wang Cong and the others were going to meet a Jin man with a slight identity this time, and that person was named Jiang Gan.
This Jiang Gan has the same surname and the same name as that Jiang Gan of the Three Kingdoms, but it is definitely not the same person.
He is a doorman in Ran Min's mansion.
Note: Because it is easy to identify, it is directly called Ran Min, and it should actually be called Shi Min at this stage Zhang Shi inquired about this Jiang Gan, and the news he found was that Jiang Gan, Zhang Gan, Xiao Quan, Miao Song, Liu Yi and others were all Ran Min's confidants, and they were also relatively important figures in the shogunate established by Ran Min.
Ran Min's status in Hou Zhao is not low, and it should be said that he is the two best mixed with Li Nong in the martial arts.
They can influence Hou Zhao's national politics in certain matters, but it would be nonsense to say how much Shi Hu trusted.
In fact, when the history reached the Jin Dynasty, it returned to the appearance of the Spring and Autumn Period, and all kinds of dignitaries and even the big families recruited guests and tribesmen on a large scale, and the prevalence of the atmosphere was no different from taking Wushisan.
What is Wushisan, this thing is popular in some celebrities in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is equivalent to an alternative drug, and celebrities believe that obeying Wushisan can strengthen the body, and it seems to have the effect of relaxing the spirit Zhang Shi had originally given up contacting Ran Min and instead started with those more money-hungry Korean Chinese officials, but yesterday he was suddenly greeted by a person named Jiang Gan.
The Wenchen of the Later Zhao regime did not have much power, especially after Zhang Bin's generation of scribes were all dead, and Shi Hu did not like Confucianism at all, and there were not many things that the Confucian scholars who had been in Shile were able to do much.
Jiang Gan naturally did not leave a post or report the name of the Hou family of Xiucheng, he believed that someone from the Han Department would definitely find out.
Marquis Xiucheng is the title of Ran Min, who is now an official and worships the general of Beizhonglang, and has the rank of guerrilla general.
In fact, Hou Zhao's official position is a little chaotic, it is common for a person to hold multiple positions, and the more prominent the person, the more official hats on his head, such as Yao Yizhong or the governor of the ten counties and the six Yi governors and champion generals.
What made Ran Min interested in contacting the Han Department is probably that a few days ago, news came back from Gaomi County in Qingzhou, saying that Yao Yizhong's son Yao Yimai led an army to conquer a new tribe, but the result was two consecutive defeats, Yao Yimai gathered more than 7,000 casualties, and the 30,000 people once gathered were scattered in two battles.
Emerging tribes or something, as well as defeating Yao Yimai and the like, Ran Min will not be interested in these, new tribes appear every day on the land of the Central Plains, and then there will be old tribes that will be destroyed, and what is worth paying attention to is only one thing they pay attention to, that is, they inadvertently found that the Han Department produced weapons and salt from the cabinet county, and it seems that the number is not small Weapons, even the imperial court is not large in terms of weapon production, and a new local tribe can not only arm itself, but also sell it to the outside In addition to weapons, there is also salt Do you know what the "politics of salt and iron" is, yes, the Hu people will not understand what the politics of salt and iron is, if they do, they will not govern the country so badly.
However, Ran Min understands, and understands very well, that is the foundation of a country, which can make a country prosperous or weak.
Ran Min knew that there must be people among those Confucians in the court who understood what the politics of salt and iron were, but the people sent by the Han Department firmly blocked the mouths of those Confucians with gold, and the Confucians would delay the time to report before they were fed.
He wants to take the benefits in his hands before those great Confucians change their words, so that the originally dismissive behavior should be changed The rise of the Northern Song Dynasty beauties, brotherhood, underestimating the situation:
