sweeping the world

Chapter 556 Know everything you should know

As Liu Yan expected, the donation on the night of the banquet was just the beginning, and there were always people who made donations in the follow-up, no matter how much or how little the donation was, it was recorded one by one by the Prime Minister's Office and the Taiwei Office.

Later, there was movement in the palace, and Xun Xian led people carrying many large boxes to the Yushi Mansion.

"The king personally stamped the seals one by one." Xun Xian saw that Sang Yu was a little confused and explained: "These are the people who distribute the donations."

There are stacks of foldable books inside the box. Each book has the same institutional specifications. There is nothing fancy. It just says how much a certain person or a certain family donated. Liu Yan promised to give it as a king. Corresponding rewards will be given.

Sang Yu waited for Xun Xian to leave before opening his own portion. After reading it, he stood there for a while with a relaxed smile on his face.

The feedback Liu Yan gave was not an official title or a title, let alone some "death avoidance" thing. It was a matter of which family obtained the ownership of the land in which place.

It can be understood that Liu Yan regards this donation as a transaction. The country uses land in return for the food, fodder and money given by the families, and the transaction of those lands is not counted in the fiefdom.

"This is very good..." Sang Yu has already ordered the staff of Yushifu to take action, and will send things to various places one by one. He touched his family's booklet: "If you don't learn from Emperor Wu to sell officials and nobles to raise funds, you will use What you give is what you pay for.”

Everyone will be satisfied that the Han Dynasty under Liu Yan did not allow land to be bought and sold.This time, using the country's behavior is an exception, letting everyone understand that Liu Yan's reaction is also showing an attitude.

As for the land, no one would think it is bad to have too much land, especially if the land is obtained in a legitimate way, and more importantly, the ruler recognizes it.Many people seriously feel that even if they donate for nothing, they are willing to donate, and it is naturally great to get something in return.After waiting for Liu Yan to respond, many people regretted it. After giving themselves a few slaps, they were depressed, why didn't they show more.

No matter whether it is satisfied or not, no one will make additional donations.How foolish should one be to be so stupid that he would add more when Liu Yan was repaying his reward? Doesn't this mean that if he didn't try his best before, he might get more land, but he would also get complaints or even worse things? .

Amidst the turmoil, the center's response plan was released, and one after another Kuaiqi left Xiangguo to go to various places.

There will be three small flags on the back of the fast riders, all of which are red. They are going to the states and counties to convey orders. Every time a rider arrives at the destination, the central government's official documents will be delivered to the people who deserve them, and the local authorities will take action. stand up.

"Copy it and send it to all counties as quickly as possible."

"promise!"

Fu Shou was the governor of Yanzhou, and after giving the order, he sat in his seat in a daze.He already knew from the mansion newspaper that all countries would join forces to conquer Han, and he was mentally prepared for the central government's order to recruit soldiers, and he was making relevant arrangements in advance, so that he could start action immediately when the central government's order came.

[It's just recruiting veterans, not mobilizing the whole country as expected...] Fushou's fingers were hitting a certain rhythm, and his eyes were facing the open door without focus: 【Are you still worried about food and fodder? 】

It is not a big secret that the Han Kingdom has been short of food in recent years, and the secrecy is only for some people whose rank is not enough. If the identity and status are enough, it is no longer a secret.

Fu Shou was still thinking, and a young man called his name outside the door asking to see him.

"Your Majesty, the latest rumors from Xiang Kingdom."

"Go down."

The so-called rumours, that is, the transmission of news through unofficial channels, Fu Shou stood up abruptly without reading a few lines.

"Come, come!" Fu Shou's hands were shaking. What he saw was the news of the donations from various families, accompanied by the rewards for those families who donated. Waiting for the elders to come, he almost shouted: "Hello, family!" Every house, hold a clan meeting!"

Donate, you must donate, it’s a kind of big thing that you don’t know, and you can’t fall behind even if you know it, even if there is no return.

The Fu family's family meeting will start soon. They are not discussing whether to donate or not, but to verify how much should be donated.

This Fu family is actually the family of Fu Shou, and Fu Shou is Fu Wei's father.After the start of the clan meeting, Fu Shou listened quietly to everyone's words. The general opinion was that he could donate as much as he could, even if he borrowed, he had to borrow and donate. Everything was for getting more returns. .

"You idiots!" Fu Shou, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became angry: "Do you want to kill the family!?"

He is the governor of a state, and his son is also a general of the military, which can give Fushou the greatest voice and prestige in the family.From the moment he received the news, he regretted that he was not smart enough, and was also depressed that the family's news channels were closed enough, why it was not like those pre-arranged families who donated immediately, and had to participate after the event happened.

"Patriarch..." Fu Liang is the oldest elder of the Fu family. He stood up tremblingly, and asked in puzzlement: "If you donate a lot, you are sharing the worries of the king and the big man, and you can also get what you deserve. Wrong gone?"

"What a big mistake!" Fu Shou was almost furious: "The Fu family will do as much as they have. Some idiots said they would find ways to borrow and donate, which is offending those families who have not received the news. , you are digging a big hole for the Fu family and jump into it yourself!"

Fu Liang continued to stand with his crutch tremblingly, waiting for Fu Shou's next explanation.

"How stupid do you have to be to do things that don't overestimate your capabilities when you know there will be corresponding rewards? How much power can any family exert, even if only one family knows about it, they cannot exceed the limit of what they can do." Fu Fu Shou glanced at those who were still confused: "If you don't understand, just listen calmly and don't let yourself become a real fool and bring unbearable trouble to the family. I asked you to come here to make statistics about the family's influence on you. If necessary, use whatever savings you can."

The lobby began to "buzz" and discuss everything. People who don't understand will have someone who understands to explain it. How much can each take out.

"That's 11 stones and 1 gold." Fushou had to confirm it once: "Don't do any tricks, if something happens, don't need anyone else before it happens, the old man will kill that idiot himself."

"Okay, okay, I understand." Fu Liang purely used his age as qualifications or capital, and said to Fu Shou: "Should we display things now and make more noise?"

Fu Shou waved his hands very simply: "Prepare things, don't do sensational things, if someone comes to accept it, just offer it directly." He said and stared at Fu Liang with stern and slightly fierce eyes.

It's not impossible for people to be stupid, but don't be so stupid that you think you are smart and don't listen to the advice of sensible people. Fu Shou knew that there were some idiots in the family. How much power should be calculated for each house, and how much land should be allocated to each house afterwards.

A family is composed of many people who are related by blood. There are too many families like the Fu family who are unaware of it. They will have their own choices. Their performance in such an incident will be " "People in the circle" are used as a consideration for making friends. Whether you should be fawning, or get along well, or turn a blind eye, or even find opportunities to encroach on them, the decision of how much to donate is already determined.

For the re-recruitment of veterans, the order was passed down, and when each county received the order, busyness became the mainstream.

Thanks to the rise of the Han Dynasty in a land that is almost indistinguishable from ruins, most of the people were brought into the ruling area, and they were gathered and divided into areas to settle down.

In layman's terms, as long as there are conditions, Liu Yan did not let the people disperse their lives, but adopted the method of gathering together to set up villages. Among the more than 300 million people registered in the Han Dynasty, more than 700 million people were divided according to the region. Divided allows pooling.

In Jinan County of Qingzhou, Dongping Mausoleum is located not far from the National Highway, on the four-foot-wide official road, and the scene of people coming and going is extremely lively.

The National Highway was built in the second year of Yuanshuo according to the plan. The plan is to run through the Han Dynasty, starting from Linzi in the east, going to Yanmen at a fixed point in the north, going to Jiuquan in the west, and Panyu in the south. The National Highway, with the National Highway as the hub, branched out some roads built by themselves in various places.

Liu Yan regards the construction of national roads as something he must do in his life, and he may not have completed it before his death. At present, the section from Linzi to Juancheng has entered the final stage, and the section from Juancheng to Xiangguo has been closed at the beginning. It was forced to stop because the national grain reserves could no longer be consumed and because the country diverted its remaining energy from war to water conservancy construction.

By the way, Juancheng is the boundary of Yanzhou. According to the plan, it should extend to Jijin, use the original bridge across the Yellow River, and then extend to Dingxiang.

The national road is divided into left and right folk roads, and a road is left in the middle for the official to use. Lin Mu is taking advantage of the good weather to take his wife and children to visit relatives. He is driving a cattle that is pulling a cart. The car is sitting with a baby in his arms. wife.

There is no more chaos in the lanes of lower left and upper right. People were not used to such rules before. After waiting to get used to it, they hardly thought about the convenience it brought. They just felt that it was much faster to drive. The trouble is Every time it takes about one mile to have a passageway that can cross the past.

A black spot in the middle of the national highway attracted Lin Mu's attention. He was discharged from the army in the third year of Yuanshuo's disarmament, and then got a public office in the township according to the arrangement, and got Susukada under his name, and his life was generally good. It's quite comfortable.

Before getting married, Lin Mu would miss from time to time the military life that he didn’t experience for a long time. After having a daughter-in-law, the number of memories became less and less. Waiting for the daughter-in-law to conceive and have offspring, the only thing left to think about was how to give himself His blood has more necessities for life, so he seldom attends Lianpao Ze party and the like.

The black spot in the middle of the national road was getting closer and closer, and Lin Mu could already clearly identify what it looked like. He was stunned when he saw the outfit of the galloping knight. make the appearance.

Hongling urgent envoys existed in the Western Han Dynasty, and they usually did some urgent things over thousands of miles, including passing good news and bad news, and even the task of conveying emergency orders from the central government.

Lin Mu didn't hear what the knight was shouting while galloping, and while he was still dazed, several black spots galloping in the middle of the national highway appeared one after another in the distance.

"Mu?" The little daughter-in-law didn't pay attention to the knight, but the surrounding people or carriages stopped: "What happened?"

Lin Mu usually loves this daughter-in-law who gave birth to a big fat boy very much, and when he hears the call, no matter what he is doing, he will look over, but now he is still staring at Hong Ling who has been passing by in a daze.

"Mu." The little daughter-in-law patted Lin Mu's shoulder, becoming more and more confused: "What's wrong?"

"A big event, definitely a big event happened." After Lin Mu realized it, everyone stopped. He looked at his wife, and when he was about to say something, he seemed to hear a bell ringing in his ears?After listening carefully, the bell sounded real, which made his face froze: "Today's visiting relative...I'm afraid it won't work."

In the Han Dynasty, Buddhism existed, but the state did not allow the establishment of temples. Taoism was the mainstream in the Han Dynasty. Both would set up some bell pavilions to ring bells to tell the time for nearby people, but the bells were the same. A very specific pattern.

The bells in Lin Mu's ears were by no means the temple's time signal. It was the rallying beat that anyone who had ever joined the army could recognize, and knew exactly what it meant.

The little daughter-in-law didn't know much, so she gave an obedient "um" and sat back down again, but the hands holding the baby squeezed the fabric from time to time.

The figure of the knight went away, and the team on the national road started to move again, but there were people or cars driving down every diversion exit, and of course there were also lane changes.

Lin Mu was silent all the time. When he was changing lanes, he accidentally diverted the ox cart to a carriage. Fortunately, there was only a slight collision. He hurried over to ask how his wife and baby were doing.

"Is your family all right?" A person stretched out from the carriage, stopping the driver from trying to argue.His appearance is ordinary, but when his upper body came out, he saw that he was missing an arm: "Let's get off the national highway first?"

There are many people who want to get off the national road in the surrounding area, and it is not a problem to be blocked. What can be seen is that most of the people walk like a military army, and you can understand why they have to change roads at a glance.

"As long as people are fine, don't say anything." The man with the missing arm got out of the car, looked at the scratched and painted area, stopped Lin Mu from talking about compensation, and said with a hearty expression: "We can all understand the sound of the bell. If someone loses an arm, he doesn't have that kind of thought. If he really needs compensation, remember to cut off a head for him on the battlefield."

Lin Mu was not hypocritical, he gave a military salute to the Han army, and drove the ox cart again without saying a word.

"Master?" The coachman was a little bit offended, "The repainting costs at least several hundred dollars. You are being magnanimous, but that man is too rude."

The man with the missing arm was looking at the carriage not far away, and said, "That comrade, his wife just gave birth to a baby..."

The coachman didn't understand and was still thinking about it.

"I just had a concern, and I'm about to go to the battlefield again..." The man with the broken arm touched the place where the broken arm was with his only hand: "A fool like you doesn't understand."
