Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 472 The raccoon dog on a hill

"When did Your Majesty begin to pay such attention to the tributary??"

Feng Jing looked suspiciously at His Majesty in front of him.

He always felt that His Majesty seemed to have no intentions.

Just today, His Majesty suddenly called himself and started to ask.

"Feng Gong, I have no other purpose in calling you here this time, just to ask, how is the training of this army?"

"Your Majesty, all aspects of the exercise have been completed. At present, it is spreading all over the fortress, implementing the orders of the temple, and investigating the situation in various places, which is quite effective."

"After the Huns were far away, there were many Hu people fighting in the grasslands, but they didn't dare to offend the big man. The walking army was carrying out various orders among them, which could be regarded as training. At present, it seems that they are practicing well, and the probability of success is very high. Gao. But your Majesty suddenly asks what this is for?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, if you let these pedestrians go to a very distant place, let them be responsible for coercion and intimidation, and then escort the food to Stone City and bring it back, do you think they can do it?"

Feng Jing was shocked, "Is Your Majesty going to send them to force foreign countries to donate food? Absolutely not, Your Majesty, now that the Han Dynasty is promoting agriculture, the Northeast War has just ended, you."

"No, no, I just ask at will, you don't have to be so nervous."

"By the way, you said that these countries are poisoned, why haven't they sent envoys recently? I heard that the Huns attacked the Xia country, and the Xia country was becoming more and more unbearable. You said that if the big Han can help them slow down the Huns' offensive , is Xia Guo willing to use food to make up for it?"

"Your Majesty just wants to force Daxia to donate millet?! It's absolutely impossible! Your Majesty, Daxia is too far away from Dahan. Before these grains arrive, they will have to be eaten by the soldiers who transport the grains. You do this. , it's just useless."

"Oh, I understand, you said, if you let them send people to escort the food to Stone City, can you save a lot of food rations?"

Feng Jing pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.

"Oh, you don't have to be so nervous, I'm just asking, I don't have such thoughts at all. You said, if the pedestrian army goes to the Xiongnu and forces them to pay food, otherwise they will attack from front to back. Will they be willing to give food to the Xiongnu? What about the big man?"

"His Majesty."

Feng Jing's voice trembled.

The body poison is too far away. If a war is launched here, the consumption will be too much for a big man. If 5000 to [-] soldiers are fighting there, the food transported by the temple can reach about [-] to [-] shi. , I don’t know how much will be wasted on the road, and the national treasury simply cannot bear such a large-scale consumption.

When attacking North Korea, the country of Yan can still be in charge of food and grass, but when attacking body poison, who can be let out?Hexi?North Court?West Court?How can they afford the food and grass consumed by the Northern Army?

Among these countries in the west, the most powerful is Hexi, but Hexi can't even feed his own soldiers. As for Beiting and Xiting, it is hard to say.

Liu Chang once again appeased Feng Jing in front of him and asked, "You said, if I do business with body poison, I will use the ordnance eliminated by the big man, and even paper, cloth, ceramics, etc., in exchange for food and other materials, and I will share with all parties. How do you feel about doing business and constantly provoking their battles?"

"Your Majesty, my big man is a country of benevolence and righteousness. How can we provoke unprovoked wars? If other countries are fighting, we should stop them, how can we just provoke them?!"

"Cough, I just asked you, how could I do such a thing?"

"I heard that there are a lot of people over there. Many of them are not regarded as human beings. They are regarded as untouchables, and they are treated as slaves. How many such people can you say that a big man's paper can be exchanged?"

Feng Jing was already desperate.

"This minister knows what Your Majesty wants to do, His Majesty is going to let the Marquis of Huaiyin lead the army to terrorize the poisonous countries, and then send a pedestrian army to coerce and lure them, provoke their contradictions, and force them to gain the support of the big Han. They offered food and asked them to escort them to Stone City!"

"Then from Stone City, sell weapons, paper and other items to them, and make a lot of money from the war in exchange for a large amount of food, slaves."

Liu Chang was shocked, "I thought you were a moral gentleman in China, how could you come up with such an idea??"

"I'll think about it, Lu! See off the guest!!"

When Feng Jing walked out of the palace, he couldn't help but raised his head and looked at the sky. At that moment, it seemed that Minister Zhou Chang and Chen Ping leaned over. He was not alone, and such a big black pot was slammed into his forehead. Above, the big Han ruled the country with loyalty and filial piety, and it was shameful on the bright side.

The slogan of Qin attacking others is to kill the people here and seize the land here.

But the big man is different. Even when the big man goes out to crusade the barbarians, he will say that he is de-education, and he has to advertise his benevolence and righteousness.

In the history, the Great Han specially set up the positions of guarding the Qiang commander and guarding the Wuhuan commander. They were responsible for dealing with these barbarians. If they could not kill, they would not kill. , this is already very human.

There were also a lot of barbarian cavalry in the Han Dynasty, including Huo Qubing, Wei Qing and the others. Until the end of the Han Dynasty, when the rebel army was crusaded, all the barbarian cavalry played an important role. The Han Dynasty was still very good to them. Noble title, no salary arrears.

When we arrived at Sima's house. Noble title? ?salary? ?The aristocratic family doesn't even treat the people of the Central Plains as a person, and will they treat the barbarian cavalry as a person? ?As a result, the Hu people rebelled, and the aristocratic family ran very fast, and went directly to the south to continue to be their own family. In the end, it was the people at the bottom who suffered.

Feng Jing could almost imagine that when His Majesty announced this decree, and by the way, it was the words of Feng Jing, the venerable guest, how angry the ministers in the DPRK would be, and now he would take over from Zhou and become the first traitor in the DPRK. .

"My memorial to my father, I already have a reply, but it's not allowed?!"

Liu An sat in the upper seat, frowning.

Several of his family members and officials stood in front of him, as if they already had the meaning of a small temple, Liu An said earnestly with a straight face: "There are many Yuezhi people in my Tang country, and these people are all She's grazing, not farming."

Liu An's memorial this time is not in the identity of the prince, but in the identity of the king of Tang.

After discussing with Liu An's officials, they believed that Tang's agriculture still had room for development. Today, Tang's population is very large, and many of the fertile lands are pastoral areas. Grazing here.

The population of Tang is already very large, and the question of Yu Ding also arises. Why not develop these pastoral areas to become agricultural land?
Therefore, Liu An made a remark, hoping to open pastures as arable land.

However, Liu Chang did not agree to him.

Feng Tang said seriously: "When His Majesty was the Tang King, these Yuezhi people came to help him. Today, the servants are all from Yuezhi, and His Majesty loves them. Of course, he does not want to cause unrest in Tang. Therefore, So, that's understandable."

"However, the fertile land in the Tang country was originally not much, but the population has been increasing recently. If the problem of cultivated land cannot be solved, then there will be a major incident. Your Majesty is going to divide Jiuyuan and Shuofang to the sons and sons. We will migrate the people of Yuezhi to these two places."

Mao Chang shook his head, "No, the two sons are blood relatives of His Royal Highness, and there is less farmland there. If the farmland here is turned into pasture land, it would be an intention to deceive the younger brother, and His Majesty will definitely be furious."

"Now that the Xiongnu have retreated, we might as well set up a pastoral area outside the Great Wall, and let the Yuezhi people graze here, so that we can reclaim the domestic arable land with peace of mind."

Listening to everyone's persuasion, Liu An subconsciously stroked his chin, his expression was exactly the same as Liu Chang.

Among the people, Ju Meng looked around, looking a little absent-minded.

Liu An couldn't help looking at him, "Ju Meng, do you have anything to say?"

Ju Meng grinned, "His Royal Highness, how can a vulgar minister understand the principles of governing a country?"

"No problem, as you say, forgive you and not sin."

Ju Meng then said: "This minister is stupid, but I also know that Your Majesty does not want you to migrate the Yuezhi people because His Majesty has been encouraging the Yuezhi people to intermarry with the local people for a long time, and wants to completely turn the Yuezhi people into Han Chinese. ."

"This has already succeeded for the most part. You are in a hurry to drive them out of the Tang country, and even want to drive them out of the big man. How could His Majesty agree?"

"The main problem in Tang is not the Yuezhi people, but the lack of fertile arable land in the country. Since there is not enough fertile arable land in the country, why don't we just send troops to capture the fertile land outside the Great Wall, and let Yu Ding develop it directly?? What kind of skill is it, if you want to toss, go out and toss!"

Liu An chuckled lightly.

However, Mao Chang hurriedly reminded: "Your Highness, the people are so tired, where is there any energy to build cities, roads, and cultivated land outside the fortress? This requires a lot of manpower, and it cannot be done easily. Lift, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Ju Meng smiled disdainfully, "Then we won't mobilize the domestic people, we will go directly to arrest people outside the Great Wall, the Huns are gone, and whoever dares to resist the big man, we will arrest tens of thousands of them and let them indistinguishable. Build city roads day and night, cultivate arable land, and give them food that won't starve to death every day!"

"Tang country has the most troops, arresting people everywhere, should be able to arrest a lot."

Mao Chang was furious, "I am a big man based on benevolence and righteousness, how can I do such a thing?! You traitor, are you bewitching the king?!"

Ju Meng is also not used to him, "You can use your benevolence and righteousness yourself, why use it with foreign enemies?"

In his heart, he was quite disdainful of these so-called renunciations and officials. In his opinion, these people were incompetent, chatting all day long, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time. , he was sleepy, and every night when he couldn't sleep, he wanted to go out and tie up one or two lover to come back and reason with himself.

These people stand in front of the prince all day, sometimes saying this is not good, and sometimes saying that that is not right, they have no ability at all, and they will talk all day.

The drama Mengdu has some sympathy for the prince in front of him. It must be difficult to endure the nonsense of so many people.

Both the officials and Shiren began to criticize Ju Meng's erroneous views.

"Isn't your proposal to make all the ministers hate His Highness?"

"How dare this minister hate the prince? If he hates it, wouldn't it be better to just kill him?"

Just when Ju Meng was arguing with these people, Feng Tang stood up, cleared his throat, pointed at Ju Meng and said, "Your Highness, don't believe this Shuzi's nonsense!"

Liu An narrowed his eyes, and Feng Tang immediately said: "I am a big man based on benevolence and righteousness, so how can I do things to bully others, but I heard that the snow disaster outside the Great Wall has been very serious these years, and those people outside the Great Wall have no houses to live in. , there is no food to eat, no clothes to wear, it is too pitiful."

"If His Royal Highness can send troops to help these people build houses in the city, cultivate arable land to grow food, so that they will not be frozen to death or starved to death, that would be the greatest benevolence and merit."

"Feng Gong is right!!"

"Feng Gong is really benevolent and righteous!"

"Your Highness should do such a benevolent act!!"

Everyone supported them, and some even glared at Ju Meng and said, "Why can't you imitate Duke Feng's behavior? You are the same, but your Excellency is so cruel!"

Ju Meng was stunned for a long time, and he seriously paused for a while. Isn't what the old man said the same as what he said?Isn't that just kidnapping people back to cultivate the land? ?Good guy, what kind of act of benevolence and righteousness turned into what he said, Ju Meng couldn't understand.

Seeing that everyone soon began to discuss the plan to send troops to save, the drama Mengdu has some doubts about life, aren't you talking about sending troops? ?
No wonder I can only be a ranger, but you can be a lover!
These just ministers, talking about sending troops, are not ambiguous at all.

"There are many beasts outside the frontier. In order to protect the safety of these people outside the frontier, it is best to send armored cavalry there. There are more than [-] people in a tribe. We can organize domestic Sima in units of a thousand people and let them lead the army to go out to destroy them. Ferocious beasts from all over the place, bring back the suffering people there."

Ju Meng sat at the end and did not participate in their discussion.

At some point, Feng Tang came to his side and sat down.

"Haha, you're an offspring, your brain is quite flexible, not bad, not bad."

Ju Meng glanced at the old man, but he still didn't like him very much in his heart, "Why am I flexible, isn't it your credit in the end?"

"No, Your Highness knows, this time, you are showing your face in front of His Highness. In the future, you don't have to worry about the issue of credit. Even if you have [-] credits like this, it can't compare to the improvement your Highness has given you. Ah. Where are you a ranger?"

"How about you on the Heluo side?"

"Oh, then I think the swordsmanship is not bad, you can test it when you have time."

Hearing this sentence, Ji Meng became angry, "I can't beat Your Majesty, I can't beat that dog thief Zhang Fu, you old man, can I still beat you??"

Ju Meng is indeed not Zhang Fu's opponent, although he surpasses him in skill, but Zhang Fu's fellow is not at all to learn from each other. The tricks are either my life or your death, and the momentum directly overwhelms the opponent. After all, he dares to Ten people rushed to the ruthless battalion of the enemy.

Ju Meng didn't want to fight him to the death just like that, so he just succumbed to it.

But now this old man has to ride on his head, Ju Meng can't bear it anymore
"Bang~~~"

When the sword in Ju Meng's hand flew out, Ju Meng was still a little stunned, until Feng Tang swung the wooden sword down and slapped him on the ground, Ju Meng once again admired the sky in Chang'an, it was so beautiful.

How can people here be so good at fighting?I was invincible all over the streets in Luoyang, why do I always suffer here?
Feng Tang stood aside with a smile, "Lady, are you still coming?"

"I won't come, I won't come, I haven't had enough to eat, and I don't have the heart to hurt you, even if we are tied this time."

"Hahaha~~~"

Hearing the laughter, Ji Meng jumped up immediately, "Who dares to joke?"

Seeing the tall figure, a smile suddenly appeared on Ju Meng's face, "It's Your Majesty, you laugh at you, you laugh at you!"

"I didn't expect that this An's mansion is still so lively. As soon as I came in, I saw you guys competing here. Not bad, not bad, a bit like my old mansion."

"Feng Tang, I didn't see it, you are so old, you can still have such skills, you are a big Han Lian Po!"

"How about we try?"

Feng Tang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly lost the wooden sword in his hand, "This minister is too old, his legs and feet are not easy, it is really unbearable to fight."

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

Liu Chang shook his head and dragged Feng Tang to his side, "You asked the prince to arrest people outside the fortress, didn't you?? Yes, with you, I thought you were just an empty talker, but now I see Come on, there's still something to do."

"It's not what the minister said, but what Ju Meng said."

Feng Tang was not greedy for merit, and told the truth about what happened just now.

Only then did Liu Chang look at Ju Meng, "Yes, in the future, if there is such a good strategy, I will tell the prince more, but we must learn from Feng Tang, and put it another way, don't say it so directly!"

"only!!"

Liu Chang walked to the inner hall, and the two followed him. Liu Chang said as he walked, "Today is a good day. First, Feng Jing wrote the book, and then Feng Tang offered advice. I remember you two are clan brothers? cousin?"

Feng Tang pursed his lips, "Because of my parents, I never communicated."

"In any case, this blood relationship cannot be erased. Anyway, your Feng family is good. After the ministers know tomorrow, your clan's reputation will definitely be higher, and you can enjoy admiration, including your ancestor Feng Ting, Knowing that you are so proud of your ancestors, you must be smiling at Jiuquan."

When Liu Chang said this, Feng Tang was rather curious, "I wonder what advice Feng Gong offered?"

"Oh, he said that soldiers should be sent to terrorize the Gentiles to give their food!"

Ju Meng shook his head, "I thought it would be so difficult to be an official. It turns out that they are all doing this unfunded business. It's no different from being a ranger. No wonder Your Majesty wants me to be an official!"
