In the winter, there was no snow in many places, including Guanzhong, and after spring, there were only a few light rains or no rain at all in most parts of the north.
The change of annual rings represents the passage of time, and the weather brings people a heavy depression, but it does not disturb the group of cultural people gathered in the old Chang'an.
The wind of Xia Xue has been blowing, but the disputes between the cultural people of the north and the south are becoming more and more intense, mostly because of the regional origin rather than the doctrine itself, which is obviously the same doctrine, and it is necessary to fight for the advantages and disadvantages of the north and the south.
"The rain has become more and more unusual this year, and the water level of various water systems, especially in the eastern districts, has dropped most rapidly and significantly."
"The source of water is impounded, and it is inevitable that the downstream water level will fall.
Wells are already being dug in various places, and the digging depths are getting deeper and deeper, regardless of region. ” "I'm afraid that the waterwheel built can't alleviate the water for spring ploughing, but the people insist on farming."
The Zhuxia civilization still likes to build dams to store water, even a small river will be divided into several sections with sluices to intercept water, especially in the spring ploughing period, the more serious the water interception situation is, resulting in the annual spring ploughing will break out because of the relationship between the fight for water.
The waterwheel was built in the fourth year of Yuanshuo, and it took three years to promote it in only a few areas, and it was only when it was thought that drought was inevitable, especially in the granary under construction in Jingchu.
The role of the waterwheel is to send water from a lower position to a higher place, and the river is not completely depleted, but it is really useless when the river is left with only the riverbed.
"Fortunately, with the old Yuzhou as the boundary, the drought to the south is not obvious, and no decline in the water system is found south of the Yangtze River.
If there is a full-blown drought in the north, there is still food output in the south to support. ” "The second batch of overseas grain has been put in place, and the construction of national highways and the grain of Chang'an New City are worry-free."
"In addition to responding to conscripts and conscripts, how to deal with the people of the Northland" "If the grain reserves allow, please ask the Prime Minister's Office to order all counties to recruit labor and build public facilities in the local countryside."
"The grain storage is only enough to support the big project."
In the spring of 349 A.D., the ninth year of Yuan Shuo, and the officials who returned to the center around the Winter Solstice Festival because of their debriefing had basically returned to their posts, and the local officials naturally had to prepare to deal with the disaster, and the military system was also strictly ordered to cooperate with the local government.
In the past, when disaster years were encountered, dynasties other than the Qin Empire basically stopped any national projects, but did not carry out disaster relief for the people, and opened the mountains and rivers to let the people spend the disaster year on their own.
When it comes to opening up mountains and rivers, it is because the mountains and forests of the past dynasties basically belonged to the emperor or the state, and the people could not hunt and gather at will.
The Han State under the rule of Liu Yan was a national project in a catastrophe, and there was an example of the Qin Empire, coupled with Liu Yan's personal explanation, there were still voices of opposition.
In ancient times, the vast majority of the country's grain reserves were to ensure military needs, especially when there was a large-scale disaster in the country, neighboring countries might take advantage of the fire to rob, and the grain reserves were kept to deal with the invasion of other countries that could occur at any time.
The construction of national highways and the new Chang'an are already national policies that are being implemented, and not only have a large number of people been fed in the form of work-for-relief, but also many people have been extended to private procurement to support the project, but it is still difficult to take care of the whole situation.
"The Northwest has seen a significant drought this year.
Although there will be drought in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, there should be no miserable situation of no harvest. ” "If the weather is still like this next year, or if it gets worse, it's really bad."
At the small court meeting that was being held, anyone who had any opinions or ideas could express their own opinions, and Liu Yan listened more and talked less or didn't say anything at all, as usual.
The northwest of the Han Kingdom refers to the territory northwest of Jincheng and belongs to the original Liang Kingdom of Zhang.
Zhang's Liangguo surrendered in the seventh year of Yuan Shuo, and the lord and the corresponding royal family would naturally be placed under house arrest, and it took nearly three months for the Han army to fully accept it, and it took almost a year to complete the household registration census and statistics.
Since the Han State has abolished the administrative level of "state", the content of the talk involves too many counties and counties, and it is basically summarized in a certain direction.
"The northwest has not been returned to the Han Dynasty for a long time, although the various places have not been conquered by the Great War city after city, and have not caused too much damage, but the people of the northwest have been returned to the Han Dynasty for less than two years, and the people's hearts are still unstable."
"In the year of great calamity, the ambitious and the young will inevitably be restless, but the opportunity will inevitably encourage the people to rebel."
Liu Yan's extermination of the Qi tribe and the expulsion of the Qiang, Di, Xiongnu and Zahu were liberators and saviors for the people of the Central Plains, but the destruction of the Zhang Liang State was only a pure victory or defeat and no inter-ethnic righteousness.
The Zhang clan was originally a noble clan in the northwest, and when they ruled the northwest, they had always protected the people under their rule, and although the people needed a higher tax rate for grain because of the war, their reputation was still quite good.
The time for the northwest to be included in the territory of Han rule is still a little shorter, and there is no shortage of people who miss the rule of the Zhang family, especially those whose interests have been damaged after being ruled by the Han State.
"Xie An, the general of the expedition to the west, has already sent troops to Xiqiang Mountain, and after the war, he can lead the army to enter the northwest."
"The scope of Xiqiang Mountain is too large, and the remnants of Qiang Di dare not fight, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the war to produce results in a short time."
"There is a standing army in the northwest, and there is an army led by General Zhengxi Zhonglang on the side, is it not enough to deterre?"
"It's all about maximum deterrence."
Xie An had two standing armies under his command, and the number of attached county soldiers was as high as 60,000, and with almost 100,000 troops, he attacked Xiqiang Mountain, and adopted a flat line advance strategy, even if he could not completely annihilate the remnants of the Qiang and Di tribes, they could force them to climb the plateau.
After the end of the battle in Xiqiangshan, it is definitely necessary to leave the garrison, but only the county soldiers will be left as the border garrison, and the standing army is a field army, so it is naturally impossible to stay in one place for a long time.
"A conscription order can be issued, mainly to recruit the prime-age people.
If there is no prime of life among the people, only the old and weak women and children, there will be no chaos. ” "In the year of disaster, there is no more young and strong, how can the old and weak survive, how should the world look at the big man" "No, no" "If you recruit from one household, you can work in exchange for food rations."
"It's too much to consume grain."
In fact, there is also a national project in the northwest to provide relief for work, but the center does not pay enough attention to it, and the most important thing is, of course, the construction of the new Chang'an, which is because it is related to Liu Yan's accession to the throne, and then it is to attach importance to the national highway from Jiankang to Guanzhong, and the national highway leading from Guanzhong to the Western Regions is very small in scale, and the people from the Central Plains are mainly resettled. is also the people of a country, but to say that the center can take care of all aspects is absolutely false, there must be a focus area, that is still because of the limitation of national strength, and then it is also related to the preference and care of the ruler.
For the dynasties of the Zhuxia civilization, the Central Plains belong to the core, and even if the capital is built in Guanzhong, the Central Plains cannot be ignored.
The reason for this is that the Central Plains has been quite densely populated since ancient times, and other places may be able to cause chaos, but the chaos in the Central Plains is definitely a big chaos, forcing the rulers to focus on and pay attention to it.
Discussion, everyone has been unable to reach an agreement, and they can't help but stop to look at Liu Yan.
"The people of the northwest are millions of people, and they are also the people of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Yan had already thought about it just now, and agreed that Cai You believed that the country's grain reserves had reached the most serious warning line, and he should not only deal with the current situation, but also think about how to face large-scale natural disasters including the Central Plains if there is no food in the future.

"The benefits of opening up mountains and rivers are one of them, and the other is that they can be channeled to the Western Regions."
Is there a natural disaster in the Western Regions It should be said that the natural disasters in the Western Regions broke out earlier than the Han Kingdom, and there has not been much rain there for two consecutive years.
Under the natural disaster, the Western Regions is in chaos, not only the strife between private individuals has increased, but also the conflicts between various countries have also broken out.
Letting the people from the northwest go to the Western Regions individually or in groups is to encourage them to rob the people of the Western Regions, which is one of the ways that there is no way.
"The people of the south can go to the Indochina Peninsula, but why can't the people of the north go to the Western Regions?"
Liu Yan said that, but he knew that he still didn't pay enough attention to the people in the northwest, but he really had to take more care of the rest of the region, rather than choosing some other people who didn't have a strong sense of belonging.
This is the basic choice that a ruler should make in order to ensure the stability of the rule.
"There are millions of people in the northwest, but there are tens of millions of people in the Central Plains."
Ji Chang must help Liu Yan get up: "Conscription can be levied on 100,000 households, and the rest of the blood is shed for the country in the Western Regions, which can be regarded as a war merit."
It is precisely because the Western Regions themselves are in chaos that the time point when the Han State will send troops to the Western Regions will be advanced.
Before the Han army attacked, there were already many people on a mission to go to the Western Regions, which was nothing more than to make it more chaotic and create a more favorable environment for the Han army to recover the Western Regions.
Before the army really goes out, the people who have the ability and courage to go first can indeed be regarded as contributing to the country, and there is no reason why it is not considered a war exploit.
"This is great good governance."
Xie Ai is from the northwest, and he didn't have much say just now, so he listened to the discussion and Liu Yan's ruling with a blushing face.
With the results that followed, he had to feel relieved.
That's a war feat, and you can use it to exchange it for native land, and you can also get a knighthood.
Under the premise that the number of standing armies is fixed, county soldiers rarely have the opportunity to go out to fight, and there is basically no chance for the vast majority of people to build up their military exploits.
Participating in the army to go out to fight is to fight for one's life to build up war merits, and going abroad to rob and kill the enemy without permission can also be regarded as war merits, which is a good thing rather than a bad thing for the vast majority of people.
"That being the case, it is not included in the list of conscription or conscription, and can it be emulated?"
"Outing" Everyone had to look at Liu Yan again.
The Northwest is the center really can't take care of it, and has adopted a strategy of last resort, and the bad thing has become what most people think is a good thing, but if the whole country treats everyone equally, the matter will be really big.
Liu Yan looked at the people in the military.
Xu Zheng's brows furrowed completely, and he couldn't care so much about discussing in a low voice with Ran Min beside him.
The reason why military exploits are military exploits is that the army holds the prerequisites for establishment, and it is considered to be a thing in the military's bowl, so how can it be easily transferred to others.
People in the northwest can go outside to establish military exploits, and the military is silent because Liu Yan personally mentioned it, and they dare not question Liu Yan's authority, but it is not the same thing for the rest of the people to mention it.
"If the whole country can do it, the minister thinks that it cannot be left unorganized."
Xu Zheng had to think about the interests of the military, but he also knew that he couldn't hold it down, and said: "Set up a gathering station at the border, and the people will be a group, and the soldiers will obey the orders."
This can be done throughout the country. ” To put it bluntly, since you want to do that, those who want to go out must be under the command of the military to ensure the best interests of the military.
This time, it was Chang Ji Chang frowning.
He believes that the army of the Han State is already a monster, and it is impossible to completely stop the war in the year of the catastrophe, even if it enters the stage of internal affairs, the foreign war is still endless, no matter how you look at it, the monster will not be fed for a day.
Now the military wants to take this opportunity to reach out to the localities, and it is still stretched out so that people have nothing to say, and in some respects it is even a kind of conscientiousness, but the military's hand is stretched too far.
"The Han Dynasty has a national policy of training troops in summer and winter."
Xu Zheng also knew that the military's hand was too long and could ignore the dissatisfaction of the civil affairs system, but he could not ignore Liu Yan, and said reasonably: "With the leadership and restraint of soldiers, unnecessary casualties can be avoided, and then the strategy can be continued to open up territory for the Han Dynasty." ” In the summer and winter of the Han Kingdom, the young men and women in the countryside were required to participate in military training on the spot, which was a habit that Liu Yan had when he only had a county in Changguang.
At that time, the Han people were at a critical moment of life and death, not only the soldiers had to fight the Hu people at any time, but the people were also ready to take up arms to defend themselves, and the habit was preserved.
Military training is presided over by the military, and if the military reaches out to the people, it is a long-standing thing, and there has been no chaos all along.
And Xu Zhengti's intention to mention that point is very clear, I am afraid that Liu Yan will think too much.
The military is a monster in the Han State, but the generals of the army do not have their own direct troops, and the Han army implements a rotation system, which avoids a certain army from becoming the private army of which general, to say that Liu Yan is completely unafraid of the military, it is impossible, but he is not afraid of much.
Liu Yan wanted to think about it clearly, once it was opened, what kind of impact it would have if it was regarded as a military merit to go out to plunder.
"The Northwest Land is a helpless move" Ji Chang's voice was a little loud: "When it is extraordinary, do extraordinary things, but it must not be promoted." ” Able to use knives and guns to farm, as long as they have the ability, no one wants to work hard to get it.
Facing the loess with his back to the sky all year round, but it is not as good as someone who goes out to rob once, what kind of country should the Han Kingdom become at that time:
