In September, the temperature in Heli Mountain continued to drop. The thermometer manufactured by Shaofu showed that the temperature had dropped below minus 10 seconds. The wind outside is freezing and the breath turns to ice. But the Han soldiers stationed here felt the warmth. The warmth from hometown. Carloads of supplies arrived from afar. These were supplies specially purchased by Shaofu and Da Nong from Beidi County, Henan County and Guanzhong according to the place of origin of each Han army department. The sauces from Zhongzhong, the jerky from Henan County, and the unique cheese from Beidi County. The smell from home suddenly filled the inside and outside of the Han army camp. Eating the delicacies made by the elders in their hometown, the soldiers felt at home in this foreign land thousands of miles away. The arrival of a large number of winter cotton-padded clothes and quilts made the soldiers even more excited. Thick cotton-padded clothes have very strong thermal insulation properties, and warm quilts are enough for people to sleep peacefully in the cold winter. "How much grain is stored in each granary?" Ju Meng asked a staff officer who had just returned from outside. "Reporting to the general, our army already has 1.5 million dan of grain and more than 100,000 dan of fodder reserves" the staff officer replied, "enough to meet the needs of our army for the winter!" After hearing this, Ju Meng nodded, but In my heart, I felt a little sad. In the past few months, the Han army's baggage troops from Beidi County and Yulinsai have been traveling day and night, avoiding dangers and obstacles, and delivered truckloads of grain, rice, noodles, oil, salt and dried meat to Heli Mountain. In order to transport military supplies on time, efficiently and safely. Dongchenghou Yizong, the governor of the Anbei Protectorate, personally took command and served as the food protection general. And extensively mobilized and mobilized the officials, soldiers and civilians of Beidi, Taiyuan, Mongolia, Yulin, and Yunzhong. The emperor of Chang'an is constantly paying attention to and paying attention to the progress of relevant affairs. Although such important measures were taken, a famous general like Yi Zong personally took charge of the deployment of various supplies. ¡°But the losses incurred in transporting grain here are still frightening. Every time one stone of supplies is transported here, one and a half stone of food will be consumed! ??The distance from Beidi County to the fortress is close to a thousand miles. On the way, we have to cross a big river, climb over Guzang Mountain, cross Shiyang River, and cross weak water. In order to ensure the transportation of supplies, Beidi County and Taiyuan County dispatched thousands of tunnel camp soldiers to build more than a dozen large pontoon bridges over large rivers, Shiyang Rivers and weak waters. And the baggage coming from Yulinsai needs to cross the dangerous Gobi desert area and venture forward in the yellow sand. It is said that all the princes in the court were frightened by such serious losses. The emperor has ordered, with the prime minister taking the lead, to discuss the establishment of a yamen specifically responsible for transporting military supplies. It is said that its chief officer will be listed as the ninth minister, and he will be an important minister of at least five thousand stones! His name is the Commander-in-Chief of Jijun. Just like the old Beiping Wenhou Zhang Cang set up planners, he used mathematics and systems to allocate materials, organize the transportation of soldiers and civilians, and ensure the supply of military supplies. It is said that the first commander-in-chief of Jijun will probably be a civilian official. But I¡¯m not sure, because the court is very controversial. The civil and military sides refused to give in to each other on this matter. ??Three consecutive court meetings, but no consensus can be reached. It is likely that it will be handed over to the next year's major court meeting for discussion by the people of the world. But no matter what, the court has already recognized the future. As the Han army moves further and further, a yamen that is responsible for the unified deployment and organization of the supply and security of military supplies must be established! On the other hand, the huge consumption of long-distance grain transportation also prompted the court to decide to set up seven reclamation regiments in Heli Mountain and Guzang Mountain. The relevant decree has been passed in the third reading at the court meeting, and has been announced to the world through the Di newspaper. In order to encourage immigration, not long ago, Tingwei and the imperial censor jointly revised the relevant provisions of the household law and added two laws specifically for household division. With this adjustment, the Yizhike system founded in the Qin Dynasty has been comprehensively strengthened. From then on, all families, including the Liu royal family, and all men over the age of twenty-three who meet the qualifications of the Shifu must be forced to separate households. Local officials are authorized to forcibly send men who have overdue household division into the carriages of the reclamation regiment and escort them to designated locations for reclamation. At the same time, local officials are authorized to exercise stricter control over the group of adopted sons-in-law. And the implementation of household division has been included in the performance evaluation scope. It is conceivable that from now on, in order toDepending on their hats and political achievements, local officials will set off a wave of household divisions. "Ji Meng is very much in favor of this. The foundation of an empire lies in household registration. It is a universally recognized truth and a model model for society and family that one man can manage a hundred fields with a small family of five! Small peasant families with husband and wife as the core ensured the stability of the centralized empire, making it impossible for any person or force to challenge the central authority. It also ensured the majesty of Han officials and the majesty of the law. Thinking of this, Ju Meng smiled and said to the left and right: "Let's go and see the Qiang people's camp" After the attack and pursuit throughout the summer and autumn, the Qiang tribe in the Heli Mountain area , basically either fled or surrendered to the Han army. The Bochu volunteer soldiers from the southwest Yi used their ferocity and cunning to teach the Qiang tribe a good lesson. In just a few months, they destroyed dozens of Qiang villages and captured tens of thousands of people. At the same time, tens of thousands of Qiang people were made to submit to the Han Dynasty. Those poor people who were captured were escorted back to the mainland. What awaits them will be endless work in workshops and mines. On the contrary, these Qiang people who surrendered received a lot of benefits. Under the organization of the Han army, they opened up countless lands along rivers and lakes and planted a large number of crops and vegetables. These crops were harvested last month, and the soybeans and various straws piled up in the granary quickly made these Qiang people dance with joy. "And the knowledge and techniques taught to them by the veterinarians and agricultural officials of the Han family made them feel the benefits in a short period of time. Now, almost all the Qiang people have settled down and submitted to the rule of the Han family. The Qiang problem, which had troubled the Huns and Yuezhi people for a hundred years, was initially solved by the Han army's swords and gentle policies. This is not a surprise to Ju Meng. Confucius said: If you have sufficient natural resources, you will know the etiquette. There is also a famous saying in the world: When people are rich, they are benevolent and righteous. In the past, the Qiang people, who had no food and clothing, and were suffering from hunger and cold, would certainly be a time bomb in Hexi. How do you expect others to talk about stability and obedience when your stomach is not full? It¡¯s funny! As long as they have a full stomach, no matter they are Qiang people, Hu people, or Han people, they will obey orders in a good manner. On the contrary, there must be resistance and rebellion! Therefore, as Zajia said: Grain is the foundation of the people, and money is the foundation of the country. If the people have no grain, they will perish; if the country has no money, it will lead to chaos.
