Shao Xun read the Book of Jin first.

There were only a few pages in total, and I read it quickly, and then I gave some comments: "It's too simple, and I will also write down the specialties of each county."

"Yes." Yao Yisheng responded.

"What else did the prince say?" Shao Xun asked again.

"The prince also thought that the Geography was too simple, but history books have always been like this, so he asked to write a new book." Yao Yisheng replied.

"Or the geography?"

"It is indeed a terrain, and it can also be used for military purposes. It is best to mark the post station and post road above."

Shao Xun stood up and looked at the hanging map.

In fact, the Daliang Dynasty's post station system was not perfect, especially the central and southern Jingzhou area south of Nanyang, and the same was true for the south of Huai River. Previously, Shaofu planned to build post stations between Danyang, Chenliu and Baling, and the court also wanted to use them because their post station system was very scarce in this area. They wanted to merge with Shaofu one by one, but in fact they wanted to take advantage of it.

It goes without saying that it is very expensive to establish a station system covering the whole country.

Shao Xun built a station in Henan in his early years, and many of them were contracted out.

Some of them are used to resettle disabled veterans, most of which are located on popular routes, allowing them to make profits when operating outside the country.

Some of the contracts are mostly relatively remote routes. If you operate externally, you cannot make money, or at least the court cannot make money. However, some local wealthy families are interested and they think they can make money.

Most of the remaining stations are stations that are wandering on the break-even line, which are run by the court themselves and subsidies are required from time to time.

Shao Xun originally wanted to build a complete post-transmission system that was as thirty miles a day, Jiangguan and Lu Post as in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After all, he was unable to do it well. He could only follow the reality and do it slowly.

The prince wanted to compile military geography books and marked the post stations. This idea was good, but he didn't know if it was his original intention or the officials from the Eastern Palace.

As for the post road, the best road conditions in Daliang are currently connected to the western capital Luoyang and the eastern capital Bianliang. The two extend outwards one section. The former reaches directly under the city of Tongguan, while the latter only extends eastward to Jiyin.

This section of east-west road that is hundreds of miles long is maintained at all times, and the road conditions are relatively good.

As for the north-south direction, it is centered on Luoyang and extends northward to the city at the junction of Shangdang, which is the entrance to the Taihang Mountains; to the south, it extends to Kunyang, Ye County, and the Wanye Corridor that enters Jingzhou in the south of Luoyang.

In addition to these two cross-crossing post roads, there are some scattered post roads, such as the post roads from Luoyang to Yingchuan, the post roads from Bianliang to Chenjun, the post roads from Jinyang to Yanmen Pass, and the post roads from Jijun to Yecheng, etc., which are not systematic and many are half-blocked. Either the local finances have surplus and built by themselves, or they were urgently repaired in the early years of war, and later continued maintenance, and today.

Building a road is not a simple matter.

Everything can ultimately be attributed to the word "money and food".

"The prince is very good." Shao Xun praised first, and then asked, "What is he going to do?"

"Your Highness wants to send officials from the Eastern Palace to various places to investigate geography and people's conditions, record them on the case, and compile them uniformly after returning to Beijing." Yao Yisheng said.

Shao Xun did not comment.

Now that the subordinates are leaving the capital for inspection, will the prince himself go out to the capital for inspection in the future? It has only been more than a year, so can Liang Nu not sit still?

Shao Xun thought about it and finally thought of Yu Wenjun's eyes full of affection. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Okay. This book is called "Guodizhi", I am sure. The writing of "Pu Shu" cannot be left behind. All the submitted ones are easy to write, but there are many things that are difficult to write. Where are you writing?"

"This will write "The Emperor's Chronicle" and "The Biography of the Concubines" at the same time," Yao Yisheng replied.

How many "Biographies of Concubines" are written?" Shao Xun asked.

"Zhang Chunhua, Xiahou Hui, Yang Huiyu, Wang Yuanji, Yang Yan, Yang Zhi, Jia Nanfeng, Yang Xianrong, Liang Lanbi, and Qin Ling's tenth queen." Yao Yisheng said, "There are some other noble concubines and wives, briefly written."

"Is Mrs. Teng actually listed above?" Shao Xun asked.

Yao Yisheng was a little frightened.

"She once called me 'becoming a minister'." Shao Xun chuckled and said, "It's okay, just write it. Just do that. Just leave."

"Affect the order." Yao Yisheng bowed and said he was leaving.

After leaving Guanfeng Palace, I sighed secretly. The hardest thing to write is the biography of the concubines!

How do you write about Yang Xianrong and Liang Lanbi after the second half? Qin Ling is not easy to write about.

In addition, Sima Rui's family was classified as "fake", but it was also written. Your mother and maid are pitfalls everywhere!

Yao Yisheng really wanted to curse and left with a frown.

*******

Shao Xun took a short rest, drank a cup of tea, and then opened his third brother Shao's letter.

In the twelfth lunar month last year, war broke out in Liaodong.

Murong personally led the troops, and the specific number of troops was not clearly recorded, because neither the Youzhou Governor nor the Huangsha Prison had entered the top management, and he could not get a full message. He was so busy that he could only buy a few lower management teams to understand from the side.

It's like a blind man touching an elephant.

Some scholars in Youzhou who lived in Liaodong said, "Thousands of cyclists and thousands of cyclists" and "like a tide surges", which is obviously a literary rhetorical technique.

War cannot be analyzed according to this.

A scholar in Jizhou who was an official in the Murong Xianbei said, "The counties fly and the orders are heard in the middle." This was the order of the Murong Xianbei to reach various counties.

It is also said: "The heavy chariot is connected by thirty posts at the beginning and end; the trees in the camp are transported by eight thousand cyclists day and night."

Shao Xun looked at it and slapped the table.

He was sure that the "Thirty Posts" and "Eight Thousand Vehicles" in this information were not real numbers, and the person who provided the information himself was not clear, and most of them were filled in randomly based on rumors.

As for "the smoke from the stove is everywhere, the sunset is connected from afar; the torch is connected from a camp, and the stars are secretly captured", the information value is even lower.

Seeing the end, Shao Xun could only analyze it from a factual perspective.

What can be confirmed is:

First, Murong sent troops, and the number of people was unknown. Considering that some Han people in counties and villages were temporarily mobilized, it is likely that between 30,000 to 50,000 infantry and cavalry, the scale of which is actually not large:

Secondly, several counties in Liaodong County were occupied by Murong, according to a certain department of the Xianbei shepherd (the shepherd who was dowrying)

Observe that the local tyrants in these counties are showing signs of migration;

Third, Murong Ren launched a counterattack, but was repelled.

Fourth, Murong Ren set up his base camp in Pingguo City, which was the old Han County (near Xiongyue Town, Yuquan District, Yingkou). He once appointed a salt official and an iron official;

Fifth, Murong Ren's main force was stationed in the Anshicheng area, confronting Murong's left-behind personnel.

So far, only these are proof facts, and other complicated news is unreliable.

Shao Xun asked Duan Mobo, the attendant of Sanqi, to take the map of Pingzhou, and then looked at it carefully, and then asked, "What did he say when Murong Ren was summoned last year?"

Duan Mobo replied, "He asked the Duke of Liaodong County to be a vassal state."

"Where is the confidence to speak randomly like this?" Shao Xun asked.

"I'm afraid it's because it's too cold. Many livestock in Changli, Xuan and other places have been frozen to death. The war horses are thin and Ren feels powerless to attack." Duan Mobo said.

"But after saving for a year, Murong is here at all." Shao Xun said, "Is Murong Ren awake now?"

"It should be a little anxious." Duan Mobo said.

"He is anxious, I am a little anxious, so I am anxious for him." Shao Xun shook his head and laughed: "Where is the Secretary?"

"Your Majesty." Wang Xizhi quickly stepped forward to salute.

"I wrote an order. I sent an envoy to Qingzhou and floated north to Liaodong. I enthroned him as Duke of Xuanjun, and used Goguryeo and Gao Xian to Ping the three counties as his fiefs." Shao Xun ordered: "If Murong Ren accepted the canonization, he would be rich and honored in the world."

"I ordered the first battalion of the Wansheng Army to go to Qingzhou. The Zuo Feilong Guard also dispatched 4,800 people to travel east and formed the Donglai Camp in Penglai County. General Xu Lang, the Zuo Feilong Guard, was recruiting the camp, and the navy commander Yang Bao, deputy commander of the navy, and the two provinces of Qingxu all followed the camp orders."

"If Murong Ren accepts the enthronement, he will immediately coordinate the crossing of the sea."

Wang Xizhi quickly finished the record and then went to write an order.

This is quite complicated to mobilize troops.

Ten thousand people in the First Battalion of the Wansheng Army were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the Minister of War Hou Feihu needed to issue a transfer order.

The Zuo Feilong Guard was a soldier. After the emperor issued an edict, he sent him to the office of the Zuo Feilong Guard in Bianliang City. General Zuo Feilong Guard summoned several assistant officials, read them in public, signed them, and then took the military talisman to various military offices under the Zuo Feilong Guard to allocate personnel.

instrument.

The navy was also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but they were already in Donglai.

If the imperial guards are also dispatched at this time, it will involve the Privy Council, which will be issued by the military supervisor.

However, it was different after the camp was formed. The recruitment and envoy had full power, and all the more than ten counties in Qingxu Prefectures entered a wartime control state.

As the saying goes, the emperor will not accept any orders from outside. He will take some unreasonable orders from the emperor. Of course, he will not be like this at that time.

"How is Murong Han recently?" After giving the order, Shao Xun stood up and asked while walking out.

"Do nothing to do in the capital," Duan Mobo said.

He knew why the emperor asked him because he was ordered to contact Murong Han and had a lot of contact.

"Did you complain?" Shao Xun asked.

"No."

"You will find another opportunity to visit you recently and ask what will happen if Murong Xianbei is destroyed by Daliang." Shao Xun looked at Duan Mobo and said, "Do you know what to ask, right? Don't be too deliberate."

"I'm sorry." Duan Mobo said with his head down.

Shao Xun nodded and left Guanfeng Hall.

He soon climbed to the Shaofu Zhen Office of Fangzhou Pavilion. Not long after, Yang Xianrong also climbed to the scene, holding a tightly wrapped baby in his arms.

"Your daughter." Yang Xianrong stuffed Qiang naked into Shao Xun's arms and complained: "There are so many children, is this one too late to see?"

Shao Xun laughed and carefully held his daughter who had been born for half a month and looked at it carefully.

A moment later, Shi came again, holding a 19-month-old baby boy in his arms.

When the two strong men were placed in front of him, Shao Xun was extremely satisfied.

"Let's go." He handed his daughter to Yang Xianrong's hand and said.

It is late spring and early summer, the sea of ​​sand is full of blue waves, and the willows on the shore are green and full of green.
