The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 88

Let's talk about Nanhai County, although it is the seat of Jiaozhou, it was not even as prosperous as Cangwu County at first.

The closer Huaxia is to the Central Plains, the more prosperous it is, and vice versa, the more desolate it will be.It wasn't until Zhao Tuo established the Nanyue Kingdom here, and after 93 years of construction, Nanhai County became the most prosperous county in Jiaozhou.

In the past when Lianglong rebelled, the imperial court named Zhu Jun the governor of Jiaozhou. After taking office, Zhu Jun quickly attacked to put down the Lianglong rebellion.Immediately, he was recalled to the Han court as an advising doctor, and Jiaozhou was handed over to Jia Cong as the governor.

Jia Cong resigned in the third year of Zhongping, that is, in 186 AD, and served as the governor of Jizhou. His successor was Zhu Jun's second son Zhu Fu.In the past three years, it took Jia Cong three years to turn Jiaozhou from hell into a paradise, but it took Zhu Fu three years to make Jiaozhou boil with dissatisfaction.

The naturalized Yue people were conscripted for a long time to serve as labor labor, to build bridges and roads, and the annual corvee of the Yue people was directly twice that of the Han people.At the same time, the taxes that the Yue people had to bear were twice that of the Han people. Therefore, some Yue people who were originally naturalized by Jia Cong's kindness escaped into the mountains and became Shanyue.

"My lord, the Jiaozhi barbarians have rebelled, and they have been pacified by the Shi Taishou. The Shi Taishou took the opportunity to bring all the villages under the jurisdiction of the local county town, and Jiaozhi has been settled!" The county official came in a panic, and handed the Jiaozhi battle report to Zhu Fu .

Zhu Fu has studied literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he is quite talented, otherwise he would not have become the governor of Jiaozhou before his elder brother.Not to mention that Zhu Jun had served as governor of Jiaozhou, and he had already told him about the situation in Jiaozhou before taking office.

The Shi family is a veteran and powerful family in Jiaozhou, and they only say that their influence in Jiaozhou is still very high.It's just that the family didn't have any talents after all, that is, the previous generation of Shici started to make a fortune, and it was only in Shixie's generation that it grew.

Shi Xie served as the prefect of Jiaozhi, and the imperial court actually used the influence of the Shi family in Jiaozhou to solve the problems of the Yue people and the barbarians.After all, after the turmoil, there are not many Han people in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, and those who are capable of serving as prefects in the court have no interest in these three counties.

"The Shi Taishou has only been in office for two years, and he has completely pacified Jiaozhi. It's really amazing!" Zhu Fu was processing official documents, just looking at his gentle appearance now, it's hard to see that he is a stupid official who extorts money.

A closer look at the battle report revealed something.Mainly, there is one person who keeps appearing in the battle report, that is Shi Hui.If Zhu Fu finds out the documents from the nearest Cochin, he will find that many things are inseparable from Shi Hui.

For example, the newly built Beihai Port in Hepu County, as well as Haicheng County and Dongxing County that have already been built.The earliest was to follow the army to crusade against the Yue people, and took the lead in breaking the two villages of the bandit army.

"Sure enough, Shi Xie is old..." Zhu Fu smiled, Shi Hui is only twenty this year, and to put it bluntly, he has just entered the officialdom.As a result, it is obviously unrealistic to achieve so much credit in one year.

In Zhu Fu's view, Shi Xie planned to push Shi Hui up in advance so that he could inherit the position of Jiaozhi prefect in the future.Shi Xie is also 54 years old this year, so it is not surprising that he has such a plan.

"Understood!" Zhu Fu responded, not paying much attention to Shi Hui, but a little contemptuous.A guy who needs to rely on his father for his position is not worthy of his attention at all.

"By the way, didn't you plan to build a passage from Hepu to Zhulu to facilitate the caravan going south? How is the corvee collection going?" Zhu Fu asked immediately.

"My lord..." The county officials below showed a embarrassed expression, "The Yue people in the five counties were expropriated last year, and the dams in Panyu have just been reinforced. It is only three months before and after. If they are expropriated again, I am afraid There will be more Yueren fleeing into the mountains."

"Hmph, this group of Yue people, who say they have Chinese nationality, still defend themselves as a village, listening to the instructions and not listening to the propaganda. The patriarch pretends to be a grandson in the county, and after returning he is the king of heaven. How can this be fooled by the government? Can you be lenient? This governor is to let them understand that if they want to live a good life, they must fully integrate into the big man. If they still want to steal and play tricks, it will be their end now!" Zhu Fu clenched his fists and said.

For him who has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, the Han people are naturally more noble than these aliens.It's just that the "Law of the Han Dynasty" stipulates that non-Hua people settle in the country, and three generations of farming and taxation are considered Han people. As a Han minister, he naturally has to abide by it.

It's just that the behavior of these Yue people in Jiaozhou really disgusted him.In addition, Nanhai County is originally rich, and his troops are strong and strong, so why should he be afraid of these Yue people?For example, some time ago, some Yue people rebelled, but he led an army to wipe out them as soon as they rebelled. Thousands of people had their heads beheaded and piled up in Beijing to warn other Yue people.

Besides, he extorted excessively, and in the end most of the money was used to improve the livelihood of the Han people in Jiaozhou and improve the traffic conditions in Jiaozhou.As a governor, he felt that he was qualified.

"Tell all the villages to bring food and go to Zhulu to gather. The road from Zhulu to Hepu already exists, but now it is just widened and leveled. The construction period will not be too far, and it will be completed in three months. Then return to the village , they can still plant a season’s worth of food, anyway, they only planted one season a year before, which is just right!” Zhu Fu did not intend to give face to the county officials.

Some time ago, he received news that Shi Hui had crusaded five villages in Shanyue and used Shanyue as a slave to help build bridges and pave roads while Sinicizing.The road from Dongxing County to Haicheng County has been completed, and now the commercial road from Longbian to Linchen County is being built.

It also exists here, or this is the only way out of Jiaozhi County.The ten thousand slaves only need to do widening and leveling works, and the construction period is also not long.To be honest, after he heard the news, he couldn't help but think about whether to send troops to attack those Shanyue and use them as slaves, mainly as corvee labor.

In his opinion, Yue people are lazy, since Jiaozhou has such a good environment, they can grow crops twice a year.But they only farm once a year, and more often they spend their time lazily.

Zhu Fu considered the reason, and the main reason was that the road to the north was blocked, so the grain could not be sold at a good price.There is only so much food consumed internally, which is why they are not enthusiastic about farming.After taking office, he has widened the roads to the north many times, and even widened the river to facilitate the transportation of grain to the north for sale by water.

Of course, if there is no benefit at all, he will not be so active.In the final analysis, Zhu Jun came from a poor family, and his family had no background. However, Zhu Jun and his elder brother Zhu Hao were both officials in Luoyang, so they needed a lot of money every year.Since Zhu's family has no property, he, the governor of Jiaozhou, is an important supporter, which is related to the future of Zhu's family, so he can't help but be a little bit greedy.

However, the problem is here, if [-]% of the money is looted, [-]% of it will directly fall into his pocket, [-]% will be shared with other county officials, and only less than [-]% of the tax will be invested in the construction.

In the past three years, he has carried out a series of projects, and the number of corvee conscripts has been as high as five times. The young and strong men who serve as corvees are in a state of not getting enough to eat almost every day, and they have to do heavy work. The breaking point has been reached.

County officials are not good at disobedience, so arrange immediately.In less than three days, he ran over in a panic, and before entering the study, he shouted: "My lord, it's not good! The defenders in the city suddenly rioted and came towards the yamen. My lord, go and take refuge!"
