1271 Chosen Guanlong

The anxious atmosphere of Guanzhong lasted for more than half a month. Finally, the Yongzhou Governor's Office revealed the eloquence and determined the date of the general's banquet.

So for a moment, the atmosphere in the county and the countryside became high again. Anyone who had a little intention ran around to find out how to join in and get the opportunity to face the general.

The Yongzhou Governor's Office and the Jingzhao County Office also discussed this matter many times. How to select the participants? What they considered was not just the banquet list this time.

Because the meaning of Xingtai and the General is that activities such as the Western Tour of Guanzhong and the banquets during banquets are best to be made into a fixed ceremony. In the future, if no special events occur, the General will have to go to the Western Tour regularly. Similar ceremonies will naturally be made into fixed projects every year.

Therefore, the best way is to sort out a set of regulations and regulations to select people who can participate in the event every year.

Under this idea, many scholars and common people in Guanzhong were roughly divided into several groups, and each selected representatives from among them to attend the banquet in different ways.

Once such a qualification to attend the meeting is fixed with regulations, it can be used as an honorary status to reward and commend those virtuous people in the wild.

In fact, there are many familiarity with similar ceremonies. For example, the Qing Dynasty in Jiangdong in the early years, and after that, every year, they also had to visit the virtuous people from all over the country to ask about etiquette and politics.

Opening up the channels of speech seems to be just a manifestation of leniency and tolerance. The deeper reason is actually to strengthen the rule of the Taiwan Strait. With the help of these places, the legitimacy of the Taiwan Strait's rule is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and beyond the countryside.

Long before the general arrived, Xingtai drafted a list of invitations to visit this trip to the west.

From the perspective of the road, the candidates who can be listed on the list are naturally not ordinary people. Similar to the Du family of Jingzhao, Wei family, Fu family of the North, Hu family of Anding, etc., these Guanzhong counties, which are either famous for the local area for a long time, or have been the aristocratic portals that have been crowned for generations for generations, are all listed.

After the general arrived in Guanzhong, he also sent public buses to various counties with Fu Ling in the name of Xingtai, and invited these old Guanzhong households to Chang'an to discuss world affairs together.

Although Xingtai maintains a style of suppressing old and famous families in terms of governance, and even has done such a cruel deed as almost slaughtering the Yang family of Hongnong, this does not mean that all the famous families in these places must be killed.

After all, the core mission of the Northern Expedition was to eliminate the barbarians and then forge China, rather than to carry out any class revolution. It must be admitted that these famous families in the places represent to some extent the gathering of the essence of the inheritance of Chinese civilization to this stage.

What Xingtai needs to do is not to completely cut them off and destroy them, but to identify and absorb them and digest them. Xingtai sends an invitation to come to Chang'an to plan a major plan. This is of course etiquette. But if these portals react coldly to this and even turn a blind eye, it is another story. Xingtai will tell them that no one in this world is irreplaceable.

These Guanzhong tribes were also very tactful and did not dare to have a quarrel with Xingtai on this matter. They sent important tribe members to Chang'an early to wait for the general's banquet to receive him.

And many families regard this invitation as a glory and make many statements. After all, although Xingtai is very tough, it still represents the true origin of the Jin Dynasty. Since the king's army entered Guanzhong, there has been no evil deeds such as the Hongnong Yang family, which was slaughtered and established its authority, which has not happened to humiliate and abuse the village sect.

Although the implementation of various government orders, the establishment of villages and military governments in Taiwan have greatly suppressed their respective villages, compared with the Han Zhao and Jie Zhao who had previously been tyrannical and wanted to kill Han Zhao, they still deserve the reputation of benevolence and righteous governance.

With such a big battle in the Western Tour, it is naturally impossible for the general to meet with mere old tribes.

Therefore, in addition to the families invited by Xingtai, there are also local counties and counties who are inviting local talents to participate in the grand ceremony. In fact, this part of the recommended personnel of county and county are actually the powerful Wuzong who have no reputation in the local area and have become prosperous due to chaos.

Although these powerful Wuzong are not well-known, their control over the rural situation is even greater than those aristocratic gateways where dry bones in the tombs are beautiful. Even from the perspective of the entire Guanzhong level, this group is far from being a rival to the royal army, but in the county, township and countryside, it is the biggest obstacle to whether the Taiwan government order can be implemented.

Whether it is the old family or the powerful countryside, these are some of the forces left in Guanzhong. Inviting them is to open a window of opinions or channels for venting. Guanzhong is still in a critical period of construction and recovery, and internal stability must be the first. If you can, don’t take action.

This group of people are rich and idle. If they cannot join the Xingtai ruling structure through normal channels and are idle in the countryside for a long time, they will inevitably have distracting thoughts. The appointment of Xingtai scholars has already made their own rules, and it is even more impossible to open the door to convenience for them. Giving them such an opportunity to express their opinions but not hurtful is also a kind of comfort.

Of course, if only these people were allowed to participate, General Shen was not idle enough to visit Guanzhong to appease them. So in addition, there were other participants, such as those who were excellent in the administrative evaluation of the Taiwan ruling structure, even if they were just a mere township official head, they could drink with the general, receive rewards and report the most grassroots governance joys.

Another part is the large-scale enterprises that pay various taxes. No matter what industry, business, businessman, or craftsman, the high taxes paid by the high taxes are shown, which means that they have made great contributions to the restoration of operations in Guanzhong, and naturally it is worthy of the general's condolences and rewards.

However, the last part of this is limited to the selection, and most of them are wealthy merchants who come to Guanzhong for business in other regions. There are not many real Guanzhong people who have to invite them.

On the one hand, it is naturally because Guanzhong has just laid a foundation and it depends on further construction. On the other hand, before the arrival of the general, the various tax systems in Guanzhong were still rough, and the government offices at all levels still left great room for the local villagers as a buffer period.

After selection in various aspects, a total of more than 700 people were finally able to participate in the banquet. Through the selection methods of these selected people, one of the approximate results of Guanzhong's business construction in the past two years can be seen. There are nearly 400 local township tyrants recommended by counties and counties. It is conceivable that these Guanlong tyrants are still quite powerful.

However, this is an inevitable thing. You should know that the turmoil in Guanlong did not happen day and night. Almost from the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the brief unification of China and Korea really failed to make the king's laws and regulations deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It can be said that it was a chaotic period of more than a hundred years, whether light or heavy. It was less than two years since the reinstatement of Guanlong in Taiwan, and it was like a fool to completely eliminate the power of the local tyrants.

The list of participants was finally drafted, and after it was made public, it was naturally inevitable that some companies would be happy and sad. For this grand event, the entire Guanlong family could be said to be highly anticipated, but it was naturally impossible to catch them all in one place after another.

Moreover, the governor's office had already made an explanation when publishing the list that this time, the qualifications can be retained and maintained. In other words, the next time the general was on the Western Tour, these people were also lucky enough to discuss with the general.

With such a small rule, this list is not just a qualification for a banquet, but also represents a recognition of the Taiwan platform for them. In any aspect, it can be said to be a kind of honor, and a kind of certification that shows them that they show their peers.

Those Shiliu Township households who were interested in participating but were not selected were inevitably a little lost in eating, and they were inevitably quite complaining but did not dare to say it or express it on their faces, questioning the fairness of this list.

After all, no matter what considerations the Xingtai is for, since such a list is drawn up, it means that these selected candidates can represent the entire Guanzhong to a certain extent. If these unselected people question, they do not even need to appear in the Xingtai, and the selected villagers may turn against them.

However, even if those people are frustrated, they will not be completely desperate. Because this list is first examined and replaced every three years. If the representatives of the selected village households do any violation of etiquette and illegal deeds during this period, once they are verified, they will immediately ban their qualifications and choose alternative substitutes. In the three-year period, there will be a major change covering the entire Guanlong, and representatives from all parties will return to the same point for screening.

With these many arrangements, the significance of this banquet is no longer limited to the attendance of the general. It has become a competition within the Guanlong Shiliu, and can even be regarded as a symbol of the hometown sentiment.

When everyone is immersed in it and is worried about it, few people can jump out and clearly realize that the original situation of the hometown is a result of the spontaneous formation of the folk order in the countryside. However, Xingtai calmly collects this arbitration right back through the arrangement of a banquet.

The banquet was arranged on a high slope between the old city and the new city of Chang'an. This high slope is also known as Longshouyuan in the local area. Therefore, although the official did not make any special explanation, the folk already has its own common name, and named it the Dragonshou Banquet.

Although Chang'an is currently under restoration, it is mainly concentrated in the dredging and communication of surrounding waterways and the construction of the city itself. Therefore, this section of the wilderness between the old and new cities still maintains its suburbs and wasteland, and no buildings are built.
