Chapter 1038 The messengers look at each other (2)

Outside Chang'an City, as he arrived at the department of the Grand Governor's Office, he arrived one after another; Luo Yin, as the director of missionary education, also stood on the slowly moving ox cart, looking at the Mingde Gate surrounded by the magnificent building with emotion and expectation on his face.

Although the tall city walls and the questairs are still vivid in my mind, they add a few unique cruelty and bloody feelings to Luo Yin, who is revisiting the old place.

Therefore, since he got here, he did not rush to go to the city, but ordered the slow ox cart to stop; and asked Tanyu, one of the disciples of Guanxiu, who was accompanying him (poetry, calligraphy and painting), to make a picture of "Beijing Que" on the spot.

Then he also improvised a song "Thoughts on the Sutra of Chang'an":

"I heard from afar that the emperor was like Emperor Xi, and I occasionally left the fishing town and entered the emperor's town.

The fifth-class marquis had no reason, and a branch of fairy osmanthus had wind and frost.

The lamp is short and the flames burn away from the temples, and the coldness is even more dripping from the intestines.

The plan is unknown, and the night is vast."

After delaying for a while, when he came to the old house of Guo Ziyi, who was reserved as the new site of the Beijing University Training Institute, the third street of Zhuquemen East, near the Faxiong Temple, which was renovated; in the courtyard reserved as one of the many official houses, it was already an evening setting at dusk and slanting westward.

As the first troll/theorist under the former Grand Governor's Office, he is also the missionary director who supervises ideology and promotes culture and education in various places; his daily life has always been quite simple and plain, and he is not a person who is arrogant and high-profile by nature;

Therefore, Luo Yin was quite satisfied with the slightly old mansion in front of him, with mottled moss marks on the walls and three and four houses inside and outside. In this way, as long as a few more servants who took turns to be public servants, and Yunying and his daughter who were taking care of their daily life, they could live a very comfortable and comfortable life.

As all aspects of the Taiping Grand Governor's Office become more and more perfect, he, as the propaganda director, actually had fewer and fewer general tasks, and he could focus more on collecting and compiling classics, studying theory and academic research.

On weekdays, they would communicate with Guan Xiu, Qi Ji, Shang Yan, Xu Zhong, Guan Xiu, Yi Xin, Zao Guang, Changdingzi, etc., in the form of reading and tea parties, and regularly publish editorials to guide the trend of Shi Lin in the text copy, or refute those endless different and distorted theories.

But no matter how the environment and power change, he was secretly called the "Chief Bachelor" of the Taiping Governor's Office, and he had a life pattern that was unchanged and determined. He was to regularly take his entourage to the people's families and cities and towns to collect folk arts and experience the various aspects of life.

However, when he took Yunying and his daughter into the inner courtyard, he unexpectedly saw a young woman waiting in the hall. The other party was dressed as a maid, and he lowered his eyebrows and asked for it with his eyes down:

"So, Zheng Ningqing, is ordered by the service club of the Office of the House Office to serve the officials in their daily life."

"Well...what does this mean?"

Luo Yin frowned in an instant, and then his eyes widened as if he was aware of it.

"Wait, do you believe in Zheng? Could it be that he belongs to the Xingyang clan..."

"It is precisely because Zheng Xiang of the old dynasty was the servant's attendant father and was raised in the house since he was a child. Zheng Shuqing (Zheng Ting's youngest daughter) is the servant's sister..."

The woman raised her head and said softly:

"Now that Zheng's clan was defeated by the despair of the tribe, thanks to the Grand Governor's Office, the old dynasty, gave me a chance to atone for the sins of the old dynasty; I would like to ask officials not to mind and dislike them!"

Looking at the other party Yingying bowed and was in tears. At this moment, Luo Yin felt that he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that the other party's joke when the Grand Commander was about to be the first time, "Even if it is Zheng Ting's daughter, she will still be a slave for you." This was realized on the spot.

I remember that he was still the young man with high spirits back then. The indignation and excitement he suffered in the Zheng family had already gradually become indifferent and forgotten with enough time; now there is only a little ember-like remembrance and melancholy left.

The woman Yunying, who was following behind, changed her face slightly, but then she turned into a smile on the corner of her mouth. She took the initiative to come forward and grabbed the other party's hand and said, "Since it was sent by the Grand Governor's Office, we will become a relationship of serving the husband together... I have been so old that I didn't expect that there would be a girl with a five-family surnamed girl in my life."

However, the next moment, Luo Yin, who had already thought about it, turned around and left the inner courtyard, and came to a side room in the outer courtyard. He asked Guo Si, the leader of the guard team sent by the inner security department who was on duty, and the concierge from the young soldiers:

"What's going on... Is there any connection that makes an exception for me?"

"If you go back to Luojian, this is not a special exception for you, but a new internal policy pilot for the Governor's Office."

The young concierge Guo Si replied respectfully:

"New policy pilot? What is this saying?"

Luo Yin was not so easy to be fooled, and he still stared at him with a bright look:

"The youngest only knows that it was the decision and arrangement at the Internal Affairs Meeting of the Governor's Office. It is said that the Governor's office has obtained many relatives from the old dynasty, including many lonely, widowed, and children, and most of them were the royal family members of the old dynasty or the related families of the five surnames and seven hopes."

Guo Si was a little numb when he saw him, but he suppressed his mind and returned carefully:

"Compared with those men in the tribe who were usually traveling far away, they often couldn't bear the trouble of long journeys. Therefore, considering the knowledge and knowledge that these women have developed in their existing homes, it was a bit wasteful to waste their time in the contemptuous place."

"So after receiving the grace of the Grand Commander, they were interested in giving them a chance to serve and redeem themselves in the new dynasty; that is, they would leave their homes and come out to work for the governor's office, and rely on themselves to think they would be separated from the past."

"And this little lady Zheng is one of them. However, she is not very capable, so she can only be assigned to the service club for a while and re-education. Therefore, I asked Luo Jian to be wronged and set an example for the public."

"Naturally, if Luo Jian feels that he doesn't like him, he will make arrangements for others again."

Hearing this, Luo Yin couldn't help but sigh with mixed feelings. Then he turned to look at the inner courtyard. After the persuasion of Yun Ying's wife holding hands, the young maid Zheng Ningqing, who had already curled her tears and showed a little cramped and awkward, suddenly felt that she could not speak out the words of rejection.

"So, Zhao Jian he accepted it..."

In the Political Affairs Hall in the Imperial City, Zhou Huaian also confirmed the result of this little episode in addition to busy work. Then, he saw Zhou Xiaoqi, who was already one of the on-duty marriage officers, walked up to report in a low voice:

"Of course, the search team has found the location of the Lingxue Pavilion cabinet in Taibai Mountain and has completed the suppression and control of the corresponding internal and external secret valleys..."

"There were beheaded 367 people on the spot and 581 people were captured; the military funds were paid, and about a thousand people were used; there were more than 200 animals and horses, and the food and fodder were used for more than half a year."

"good!!"

Zhou Huaian praised: Even before Zheng Ting was completely defeated, he did not forget to lay mines for the Taiping Army; he actually stayed with such a move.

If Han Jiyue had not explained the past of Lingxue Pavilion and made Zhou Huaian have the idea of ​​sweeping the caves. After allowing such a force to lurk near the capital for several months, it suddenly started to be activated during the autumn harvest, I am afraid that I still don’t know how much losses it will cause and how much price it will cost to calm down?

"In addition, about a hundred children of all kinds have been seized in it; the Yi (Da Mao) team led by the team did not dare to be good at it, so they asked the governor's office to submit the situation."

Zhou Xiaoqi spoke again:

"Since that's the case, I'll bring it back and identify and place it."

After hearing this result, Zhou Huaian could not help but show a little disgusting. These old dynasties were really dead! Even at the end of their lives, they still wanted to play the trick of raising dead soldiers from a young age.

"As for the other captured people, we will deal with it on the spot after the interrogation of the crime!"

Next, Zhou Huaian looked at several data about the ongoing households in the area, but frowned again and sighed. The Guannei Road in the Tang Dynasty had more than 100 counties in the twenty-one prefectures, and most of the arable land was concentrated in the Jingwei River Basin around Gyeonggi Province.

Among them, Gyeonggi Province, one prefecture and five prefectures account for about one-third of them, and have 38 million mu of arable land, about 400,000 hectares. It is located at the intersection of eight waters with relatively developed water conservancy facilities and high development.

Therefore, although river embankments, irrigation and ditches in various places have generally been damaged to varying degrees, the foundation accumulated over the years is still there. As long as you settle down and repair it for a winter, you can make full use of it.

The overall situation of Guannei Road is a bit complicated. Although there are about 65 million mu of land and about 630,000 hectares of land on the books, most of them are lower-quality dry land, slopes, mountain fields, and grass fields with low yields. Only some small and medium-sized river valleys have decent irrigation and irrigation facilities.

It can be said that for more than 300 years, the demand and excessive development of the Guanzhong area have been growing in the population for more than 300 years, resulting in soil and water loss and ecological deterioration. Therefore, the continuous famine in the late Tang Dynasty is the best portrayal.

In addition to the continuous war disasters over the years, the 11 states located in the hinterland plains of the pass have now lost their population. Most of them are only three to five thousand households, and the few are even only seven to eight hundred households, and even a decent county town cannot fill it.

Especially in Chen Cang, Fengtian and other places where the government and rebels had been tug-of-war, almost all local men were slaughtered or swept away by the royal palaces of both sides, leaving only the elderly, weak, women and children who were hungry and fed themselves. Therefore, some places have long been no longer heard of the sound of chickens and dogs.

In contrast, the situation in Yanbian prefectures and counties is better. Because it is mountainous and convenient for hiding and hiding; in addition to surviving household registrations in various cities, they can also use food and food to persuade and attract many exiles.
