As one of the three princes, the imperial envoy Sang Yu, he went to the south last year, mainly to carry out various rectifications against the local government, and it was really found that many officials were corrupt and bent the law.
Because of the restrictions of the times, the basic background of being an official will not be low, basically either a family or a child of a big family, Sang Yu's inspection of the southern counties in the southern family of the big family, is a way to further suppress the southern Shi clan, subject to the division of the southern Shi clan itself, and then there is the south as the defeated party, they have the heart to fight back but there is no leader, most of those who can be the leader are thinking of keeping a low profile.
When the central government sent the official letter, Sang Yu was in Shouchun.
"The invasion was won, but no food was obtained."
As one of the three dukes, Sang Yu was naturally qualified to get some important information, and he already knew that Huan Wen had won the first battle, but the Gupta dynasty did not give in.
He had just finished reading another newspaper about the envoys sent by the western countries to the Han Kingdom: "Not as a reception envoy, but to supervise projects in various places."
The construction of two national highways in the Han State was a matter that had been discussed and determined earlier, and the preliminary work had already been carried out in the seventh year of Yuan Shuo, and while organizing the people, various materials were also dispatched to the counties of the project route.
Sang Yu inspected the south, more or less intentionally to suppress the southern scholars, provided that they really did something illegal, if the local scholars were safe and secure, he would have no reason to do it.
There is Sang Yu patrolling in the south, and Cui Yue is patrolling in the north, and the attitude of the center is a business-like attitude, and there are officials who have been arrested for violating the law in both the south and the north.
It has been eight years since the establishment of the Han Kingdom, but the time to unify the north and the south is less than three years, and the country in the northeast and the steppe just destroyed last year, the overall national situation seems to be thriving.
Official corruption cannot be completely prohibited in any era, and relatively speaking, the corruption of the family is still relatively rare, on the contrary, the corruption that occurs after the rise of the scholar class is the most serious.
At present, there is no huge corruption in the Han Kingdom, and most of the officials are embezzling materials in terms of corruption, and they will make up for it if time permits.
This situation is basically based on the embezzlement that the family needs for the time being, and the family will make up for it when it eases up, after all, the family pays more attention to the future than the money.
"The current Jiankang Order is Wang Meng," Sang Yu asked Yuan Qiao.
The route of his southern tour has not yet passed through Jiankang, and he previously focused on the original Yuzhou area, and asked: "Shilang is going south this time to go to Jiankang."
Yuan Qiao is the one who brought the central Wengong to Sang Yu, and he will also be responsible for receiving the envoys of various countries.
Wang Meng was an official in the former Jizhou, and was later transferred to Jiankang to become a county magistrate.
The official positions of the Han State were not divided into ranks, and they were distinguished by the number of people who herded and guarded the city, and the counties with a larger population were "orders", and the counties with a smaller population were "chiefs", so there was a difference between county orders and county magistrates.
Recently, Liu Yan has been considering drawing on the system of the nine-product Zhongzheng system to plan official positions, that is, the system of first, second and nine products, and at the same time, the system of three provinces and six ministries will be implemented, which requires an excessive process.
There is no absolutely perfect system in the world, only to see whether it is suitable or not, the system of three public and nine ministers must be eliminated for its reasons, and the implementation of the three provinces and six ministries may be a historical trend.
Compared with the "big and large" of the three princes and nine secretaries, the three provinces and six ministries are more detailed in the responsibilities of each department, and it is also a further decentralization of power by the ruler to the hundred officials.
In fact, after the implementation of the three provinces and six ministries, the prime minister alone became three, and it was no longer a single prime minister of the three princes and nine secretaries system, and then because there were six departments and six scholars, it was indeed a weakening of power to achieve the goal of consolidating imperial power.
A country's system does not change because of the ruler's words, every change in the system is a struggle for power, Liu Yan already has that meaning, give enough time for hundreds of officials to compete, but Liu Yan still has the final say in the appointment of officials.
Liu Yan not only wants to build three provinces and six ministries, but also a cabinet will be established, and then there are subordinate departments that invade foreign countries, all of which need time to be excessive.
Sang Yu was thinking about whether to go to Jiankang in advance, and thought about giving up that idea.
He did not feel that those countries could afford to be entertained by themselves, and that they had the duty to inspect the place, and then they were added a responsibility to supervise the works, and there was no extra time to waste on seemingly inconsequential matters.
Yuan Qiao sent the official document to Sang Yu, had a banquet with him that night, and set off for Jiankang the next morning.
"Although the imperial envoy has the intention to suppress it, he has not abused his power."
Wang Biaozhi and Wang Xizhi are from the same family, he is the second son of Wang Xizhi's uncle Wang Bin, and Wang Xizhi's cousin.
This time, he followed Yuan Qiao south with the official position of the official secretary, and the so-called official secretary was not much of an official.
"Who is Sang Gong, how can you arrange behind your back" Yuan Qiao had no ill feelings towards Wang Biaozhi, and only reprimanded him because he was also from the south: "Since you are already a member of the Han Dynasty, you can no longer act in the small court of the old dynasty." ” Yuan Qiao's actual age is younger than Wang Biaozhi, but his official position is higher than Wang Biaozhi's, and he is indeed qualified to say those words.
The current situation of the Wang family is not one of the four major lords of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because they support the small court against the Han State, the strength of the family has folded a lot, and it will inevitably be liquidated later, the children of the family have not finished much, but the loss of family wealth is really large, and the family slaves have been disbanded except for those who are far away in the Indochina Peninsula.
The original four major lords of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they had their own circumstances after the fall of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they were basically the same situation in terms of land holding, and the difference was how many slaves they could keep.
Furthermore, whether anyone in the family is still an official and what kind of official he is is is also one of the measures to distinguish the situation.
The Yu family has Yu Yi as a court lieutenant, the Huan family has Huan Wen as a general of the expedition to the south, and the Xie family has Xie An as the general of the expedition to the west, but the Wang family has no official who can handle it.
Judging from the situation of each family, the original four major gate valves are undoubtedly the worst of the Wang family.
"The king admires Yi Shao very much, don't make more trouble for Yi Shao."
Yuan Qiao said that Yi Shao is naturally Wang Xizhi, Liu Yan recruited Wang Xizhi to become a doctor, although he is not a big official, but Liu Yan is often summoned to talk, but it is an opportunity for the Wang family to rise again: "This time I got the errand of receiving the envoys of various countries, and Shuhu has to work hard." ” Wang Biaozhi naturally responded respectfully.
There is a distance of nearly 300 miles from Shouchun to Jiankang, and some sections along the way are best by water, and can only be taken by land after arriving in Liangjun.
The Han State eliminated the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it was also the families who said that they were targeting the south, especially some families who insisted on resisting.
Those families were wiped out by Huan Wen's army, but the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for the common people, and a large part of the nationalized land was leased to the people.
The new year is coming, spring is the time for farming, Yuan Qiao can see the countryside everywhere busy figures all the way south, compare the scene of the north and south, and say: "The climate in the north has changed abruptly, and spring ploughing is difficult to carry out, but the south is the same as in previous years." ” In the north, the people naturally want to farm, but it doesn't snow, and it doesn't rain much, so the impact on spring ploughing is incomparable, and everyone is worried that even if they sow seeds in spring, they don't know if they can harvest in autumn.
The center of the Han Kingdom was very sure that the drought was coming, but it did not prevent the people in the north from farming, just because it was one thing whether there would be a disaster, but it was inevitable that something would happen if the people were prevented from plowing in spring.
After farming, the people in the north were conscripted by the government in the form of conscription, and the counties and counties recruited strong laborers at the same time, and also issued conscription notices to attract more people who were not subject to conscription, rather than concentrating the people by compulsory administrative orders.
Of course, this is because of the fear that something will happen, so it can only be carried out in a normal way of conscription and persuasion, and when the disaster really happens, the people will only be grateful.

Thanks to the repeated defeat of the nomads by the Han army, the Han had no shortage of horses or cattle, and borrowed from the pre-Qin cattle leasing method, the north was mainly used for horse farming, and the south was for cattle farming, and each county had official farming horses and cattle for the people to rent.
Yuan Qiao saw that the countryside was being cultivated, basically people were driving the ploughing oxen to plough the fields, and the people who were working on the fields were not of a fixed age group, and basically the men, women and children of the family were working.
"The north will be plagued, and the burden of the south will be heavier."
Wang Biaozhi glared at Yuan Qiao when he saw it, and had to explain: "The job is not about increasing taxes, it is a regional responsibility." ” In the year of the disaster, all dynasties and dynasties that raised taxes on areas that were not affected by the disaster did so, and it was purely the practice of tearing down the west wall and making up the east wall.
Naturally, Liu Yan has received similar suggestions, such as raising taxes on areas that have not been affected by the disaster.
After careful consideration, he did not accept the opinion, but he did not block the suggestion, and vaguely mentioned that he would take the next step according to the situation he faced.
"The Han Dynasty went to Gupta to plunder grain."
Yuan Qiao didn't know what to think of, and sighed lowly: "I hope I can get more food, otherwise" Otherwise, foreign plundering will not be able to guarantee grain, and internal tax increases will become inevitable, and the south will definitely be lamenting at that time.
Entering the boundary of Liang County, Yuan Qiao received a notice from Jiankang, saying that the first batch of envoys had landed in Jingkou, and Jiankang ordered Wang Meng to arrange for the envoys to enter Jiankang City.
The first envoys to arrive in Han were from the remnants of the Persian Sassanid, the Two Satraps, the Kalabaras, the Rambajiana and the Kidoro Kushan, among which the Didoro envoys were not notified in advance.
"The remnants of the descendants of Guishan" Yuan Qiao of course knew about the former Kushan Empire, and he was more surprised that there were still remnants: "The Jiankang Order did not arrange a residence for Ji Duoluo" Wang Meng did not have the Ji Duoluo Dynasty in the list, in fact, the Ji Duoluo envoy was also temporarily pulled by the Persian Sassanid, and there was really no notice to the Han side, so don't blame Wang Meng for not receiving it with official etiquette.
Yu Yi is the third son of the late Yu Liang, and is currently the Cheng of Jiankang County, he was assigned by Wang Meng to receive Yuan Qiao and his party in the Yangtze River, and some things also need to be communicated in advance.
Yuan Qiao didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Meng doing that, the Han Kingdom is a big country in the world, there is no need to look at anyone's face, on the contrary, it should be someone else who comes to see the face of the Han Kingdom.
"The Jidoro envoys are currently being taken in by the Sassanid envoys, and the officials of Gong have not interfered."
Yu Yi seems to be a very stable person, he is actually Xie Shang's son-in-law, and he took Xie Shang's eldest daughter Xie Seng to ask for it, and then because Xie Shang's other daughter married Yin Xin of the Yin family, because the relationship between the brother-in-law and the Yin family is also very good.
Marriages between families are very frequent, and each family is basically related to each other, and it is precisely because of this that the family is more feared by the rulers.
The envoy of the Persian Sassanid legation was born into a royal family named Kianush Arta Ardashir.
The deputy envoy was Ergutai Bahram.
Their entire legation numbered six hundred, and there were thirty ships carrying people and goods alone.
The second largest is the two Satraps, with more than 300 people in addition to the chief and deputy envoys, but the ships they take are provided by the Han State.
The number of the remaining envoys ranged from tens to hundreds, and with the exception of Kalabaras, who also took his own ships, the rest were on Han ships.
What they all have in common is that they all carry a lot of cargo.
Yuan Qiao was not surprised when he heard that a member of the royal family came to the Persian Sassanid, for the royal family of a foreign country or something, if the king came in person, he would pay attention to it, and the prince would also be taken seriously, and the royal family or something did not have a large number of people in any country "The envoys of various countries carried a large amount of goods, except for a small amount of tribute, the rest were to trade with the Han Dynasty."
Yu Rong was angry about this: "The outsiders are too ignorant, and without our permission, they have pulled the goods to the market to sell. ” Every country has its own specialty, there is no shortage of ivory, gems and other things on Ah San's side, and what the Persians can get their hands on is blankets.
"They didn't sell much of the goods they brought to the market."
Yu Gong was telling it as a joke, telling some interesting things, and then continued: "After the envoys went to the bazaar, they bought a lot of money, almost buying whatever they saw, especially silk. ” The Central Plains Dynasty will not understand the obsession and desire of various countries for silk, in fact, the number of private transactions of silk is not large, basically the families who can afford it to buy in bulk, and then there is the special supply of the royal family, so there is not much silk on the market.
It is a matter of course that the goods brought by those envoys to the Han Kingdom were not sought after, ivory or something will be bought, and gems and the like cannot be sold because of the difference in national values, after all, Zhuxia likes jade, not a gemstone, even pearls will be more sought after than gemstones.
"As long as they pay taxes, it doesn't matter how they buy and sell."
Yuan Qiao really didn't care, but because of the actions of the envoys, he had a contemptuous mentality
