Han Dao world

Chapter 459 Looking Northwest

Xun Yu and Liu Ba met almost every day, but they were used to Liu Ba's arrogance, so they didn't mind, and motioned Liu Ba to sit down and talk.

Liu Ba's idea is also very simple.

The Son of Heaven is patrolling the border, the restoration of Huangzhong Road is a foregone conclusion, and the restoration of Hexi Road is also a matter of time.Although there are many mulberry fields in Hedong, they have been abandoned for several years, and most of the mulberry trees are useless.Take the time to replant mulberry now, and next year you will be able to catch up with the spring silkworms, and you will have a harvest in autumn.

If it can be completed before summer, it will give you an extra year of harvest and seize business opportunities.

For these, it is worth paying a little more.The money was given to the people, and most of it is still consumed in Hedong, so the possibility of it flowing out is extremely low.On the contrary, if the business opportunity is snatched by the Kanto people, it will never be possible to return to the imperial court, which is like an enemy.

There is a problem that Xun Yu has to face.Even after years of war, the population loss in Kanto is still several times that of Kansai, and the population capable of engaging in business is dozens of times that of Kansai.

After all, eating is the first priority. Only with enough food can we support craftsmen and merchants.

With such a disparity in population base, Kansai is by no means an opponent of Kanto in terms of fair competition.If the people in Kanto can be attracted to Kansai, it is worthwhile to treat the people better.

For the vast majority of people, they don't care whether it is the Liu family or the Yuan family, they only care about who can make them live better.

How to prove that the man's destiny is endless?Let the people under the imperial court live better.

Xun Yu tapped on the table with his fingers, and fell silent.

Liu Ba's idea is bold and reasonable.But this is not a problem that can be solved by one county in Hedong. It needs to be implemented by the states and counties under the imperial court at the same time.Otherwise, not only the people in Kanto will flow to Hedong, but also the people in other prefectures and counties under the imperial court will also flow to Hedong, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among others, and may even cause unnecessary troubles.

Liu Ba was very disapproving.The Son of Heaven has a kingly covenant with you, and that is to let you do whatever you want.You think so much, don't you let the emperor down?If you don't make achievements in advance, how can the emperor implement it in other states and counties?
Xun Yu ignored Liu Ba, turned around and talked about Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi.

Liu Ba was too courageous, even a little unscrupulous.As the order of Anyi, Liu Ba can do this.But as Yin Yin of Hedong, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor, Xun Yu had to be considerate.

After hearing how Xun Yu greeted Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi, Liu Ba snorted, "Sikong is too old-fashioned, he might as well be Zhou Zhong. In my opinion, he should go to Shandong for a visit."

Xun Yu's heart moved slightly. "Zichu, how do you think Yizhou will react now?"

Liu Ba smiled. "You can see what Yizhou's reaction is, just look at Situ's reaction. I guess, Situ is in such a good mood, he is probably preparing for Yizhou's return to the imperial court. It's just that Yizhou people sit in a well and watch the sky, so they may not understand the current situation." The situation, maybe I want to live in peace for a few more years."

"What if you ask the emperor to issue an edict and send Sikong to appease Jingzhou and Yizhou?"

Liu Ba thought about it. "Even if it doesn't work, it can be quiet for a few days."

The two smiled at each other.

-

Wuwei, Guzang.

In front of Duan Jiong's tomb, everyone stood in silence with solemn expressions.

Putting his hands in his sleeves, Liu Xie looked at the newly renovated Duan Jiong's tomb and the newly engraved inscription, with a slight smile on his lips.

A sacrificial oration and a stele tied half of the people of Liangzhou firmly to the chariots of the imperial court.

The members of the Duan clan were inexplicably grateful, and even the former general Duan Yan, who was far away in the Shangdang, sent people to rush back to participate in this grand event and witness the glorious moment of the Duan clan in Wuwei.

Although Jia Xu was not Duan Jiong's nephew, he did what Duan Jiong's nephew could not.Looking at the two hundred Liangzhou scholars who were pulled out from the army behind him, you can see that changes are happening quietly.

Liu Xie bowed slightly, and bowed to Duan Jiong's spirit in heaven.

"Duan Gong, the court is responsible for the court, and the public is not responsible for the court."

Jia Xu on the side heard it clearly and burst into tears.

As the Son of Heaven, being able to say such words under the watchful eyes of everyone is a lesson in sincerity.

Those Han and Qiang leaders who fought with Duan Jiong in all directions heard it clearly, and couldn't help but feel emotional.No one expected that in their lifetime, they would be able to witness such a scene with their own eyes.

When the emperor recognized Duan Jiong's contribution, he also recognized their contribution.Although they did not live up to the court like Duan Jiong and participated in the rebellion, with this sentence, even if the emperor wanted to punish their crimes, their psychology was balanced.

Rewarding meritorious deeds and punishing others is justified.

Small rewards for great achievements and heavy punishments for small demerits are the reasons why Liangzhou people have been aggrieved for a long time.

But that was not the fault of the emperor, but the fault of the Kanto people.It was they who deliberately targeted the people of Kansai, targeted the people of Liangzhou, and suppressed the voice of the people of Liangzhou in the court.Now they even object to the emperor, which is tolerable and unbearable.

Liu Xie turned around, chatted with Duan Jiong's son Duan Quan, and learned that he was still white and had no official position, so he bestowed a doctor Guanglu.Doctor Guanglu is in charge of counselor and consultant. He has no specific affairs and can be regarded as an honorary official position.

Liu Xie also told Jia Xu that three or five of Duan's children could be selected as trainees, who would join the army and inherit Duan's career.

Jia Xu bowed to accept the order, Duan Quan was very grateful, and led his people to thank him again.

After the ceremony, everyone retreated, and Liu Xie, accompanied by Jia Xu and Duan Quan, climbed up the hillside and looked west.

The Qilian Mountains are looming in the distance.

"Sir, during Xiaowu's time, Huo Qubing went out of Hexi, and he was invincible for two thousand miles. After more than three hundred years, we are still standing here. We are really ashamed of the sages."

"Thousands of miles to open up, there will inevitably be twists and turns. Even if you have three links and three unique skills, as long as your ambition is not fading, you will eventually come out of Yangguan and Yumen." Jia Xu persuaded: "Even the legendary hero of Greece, there will be When it fell apart?"

"You still know that person?" Liu Xie turned his head and looked at Jia Xu, quite surprised.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Professor Fengzhao, you can't close your eyes and listen, but ask others to learn from others' strengths."

"Hahaha..." Liu Xie laughed loudly, and then asked: "That's all?"

"I am collecting their history books and studying their tactics. However, there are few materials and many barbarian languages, so I can only rely on Anthony's translation. Anthony is busy with business, and the progress of translation is very slow. I heard that there are many Taoists from the Western Regions in Dunhuang. , I plan to send someone to invite a few well-educated people, maybe it will be helpful.”

Liu Xie nodded, and then said: "An edict to the world, recruit some people who are proficient in the Yi language. In the White Horse Temple outside Luoyang City, there were some people who followed the Taoists from the Western Regions to translate scriptures. There should be many people alive now. Yes, it's just wandering around."

Jia Xu said: "It's not necessary to mobilize teachers like this. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I'll look for it in Dunhuang and Jiuquan first. If I can't find it, it's not too late to find those people. Those people are aiming at translating scriptures, not necessarily Interested in these mundane things."

Liu Xie thought it was reasonable and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Cao Ang came to report, and the envoy of Xianbei Marshal Ke Bineng asked to see him.Accompanying him was a Han named Yan Rou, who claimed to be the envoy of Zhengbei Zhonglang General Liu He.
