Chapter 296: The Xianbei Clan Perishes 2
The result of the reorganization of Zhang Yan's 200,000 Yellow Turban Army was that only about 30,000 people had met the requirements. The other soldiers could only accept the resettlement of Lu Ning and the more than 600,000 families. Lu Ning placed a small part of them in Youzhou, and most of them were placed in the area of Langjuxu Mountain. Lu Ning built a new large city there, with a length of more than ten kilometers wide. All the housing, farm tools, oxen, seeds, and daily necessities of all the people who came there were provided free of charge. Each household was divided into two hectares of land, that is, thirty acres, which was ten acres more than other places, and the tax revenue was only collected on one hectares, with very favorable conditions.
The newly built city of Lu Ning in Langjuxu Mountain was called Zhangliao City. In that place, Lu Ning established a new county, called Zhangliao County. The first prefect Lu Ning asked Chen Qun, who came from Xiaopei, Xuzhou, to serve as Chen Changwen.
Chen County, Chen Changwen, Yingchuan clan, the Chen family is a big clan, Chen Qun is a famous minister of the Wei State, and has always served as a high-ranking official under Cao Cao and Cao Pi. He served as an official like the secretary-general under Cao Cao, and the highest official under Cao Pi was Sikong. Chen Qun customized the ninth-rank official method and became a famous historical system and had a great influence on later dynasties. Chen Qun was honest and honest, with noble quality, very loyal, liked to make friends, had the ability to know people, and was a very good candidate for the supervisor of the Ministry of Personnel.
Chen Qun was appointed as the county magistrate in Xiaopei. Mi Zhu followed Lu Ning's instructions to persuade Xiaopei. When Chen Qun knew that all his little people were paying attention to Lu Ning, he felt over and over, and listened to Lu Ning's entire economic operation mechanism of Bingzhou. He knew from Mi Zhu that as long as he arrived in Bingzhou, he would serve as the prefect first. He was a high-ranking official of 2,000 stones. It was a natural difference compared to a 600 stone minor official now. Chen Qun was also moved and took his family to Lu Ning's Bingzhou with Mi Zhu. This made Lu Ning very happy. Chen Qun was very researched in institutional reform, which also created conditions for Lu Ning's next institutional setting. With him, Lu Ning would just say something roughly and he would handle the specific things. How good it would be.
Lu Ning looked at Chen Qun. He was young, but he was also a talented person. Although he was not very good at strategy, he was still very capable in internal affairs. "Long article, you went to Zhangliao County to serve as the first prefect. I think as long as you do well, you will definitely leave a name in history. History will record your achievements. Your officials and Boda will prepare you. But the place you are in is a newly built city and you will encounter many difficulties in your work. This requires you to find a way to solve the difficulties and deal with the problems. Where you are, you will also follow the safety of yours.
The increase in the number of refugees will not take long to be promoted to state. It only takes a process and a little time. Of course, I am a little reluctant to put your talent in such a remote area, but you must have some experience in grassroots work. In your spare time, I hope you will have some research on the reform of the administration of officials. You should think carefully about how to set up institutions and how to improve the three aspects of internal affairs, military affairs, and legal affairs. We must make these three parts operate independently, not interfere with each other, and have certain restrictions."
After hearing this, Chen Qun's heart lit up. Be good, isn't this going to train me to be the future leader of the official department? I have to work hard. Listening to this tone, it won't take long. Once Zhangliao County is upgraded, it will be a rank of officials. "Don't worry, lord, I will definitely do my job well and will never let my lord down. As for the reform of the officialdom, I will take time to study it and then take it to my lord after I finish it."
Lu Ning then said: "Long article, I know you have great talents and you know that you can manage the place well, but you must pay attention to the protection of the environment where you go. The grassland cannot be overloaded, and the arable land cannot be excavated randomly. Especially in deserts, it is not allowed to be grazed or used as arable land within 20 kilometers. The desert must also be managed in a certain way, so that the people can use more trees, cut less, and mobilize the people to use more coal, so that our own homes will gradually improve. The ecological environment in the north is very fragile. Once damaged, it will be difficult to restore. You must make reasonable arrangements, educate and guide the people more, and the development of animal husbandry should be moderate, and you cannot blindly pursue output."
Before Lu Ning returned to Jinyang City, Zhang Yan of Taihang Mountain had surrendered. His army was reorganized by Yaxin, and all his personnel were properly placed. Zhang Yan himself also went to the military school to study, but Zhang Yan was always worried and didn't know how Lu Ning would arrange his job in the end.
In history, Zhang Yan also lived in the Taihang Mountains and harassed and robbed Bingzhou and Jizhou for many years. Yuan Shao had no way to deal with Zhang Yan. As soon as Yuan Shao sent troops to attack him, he led his troops to escape into the Taihang Mountains. Yuan Shao's army had no way of doing anything, and often saw the head but didn't see the tail. As soon as Yuan Shao's army retreated, Zhang Yan immediately robbed the jurisdiction of Jizhou. Zhang Yan was originally named Zhu Feiyan, but later in order to inherit Zhang Jiao's last wish, he changed his name to Zhang Yan. This man was the main general of the later Yellow Turban Army. In the end, he surrendered to Cao Cao and was wiped out by Cao Cao. In general, this man was brave, had certain strategies, and was still a talent.
When Lu Ning saw Zhang Yan, he said, "General Zhang, please study in the military school. Three months later, you will lead a 10,000 army to guard Shuofang to prevent the Xiliang army from attacking our Shuofang area. Of course, your original soldiers had too poor combat power. I will equip you with the most elite troops. The combat power should be more than ten times that of your original army. I hope you can help me guard the Shuofang area. It is now the front line. Fights may occur at any time. You must be careful and don't let me down. As for your subordinates, I will resettle them. You don't have to worry about this. Over the years, we have placed a lot of disaster victims and refugees. Even your family members have been placed by us in the past few years. You should be clear about this. We also know that they are your people, but we also provide the same place."
After hearing this, Zhang Yan was very excited. He did not expect Lu Ning to let him lead the troops alone and stand alone. This made him never expect it. He also knew that Lu Ning had absolute trust in him, otherwise he would not have handed over ten thousand elite troops to him. He also felt respected. Zhang Yan knelt down to Lu Ning and kowtowed, "If you look for death and follow your lord, you will be killed by heaven."
