Han: The witchcraft disaster begins, I fight against Emperor Wu of Han

Chapter 96 Great success is achieved
Looking towards the northeast from Jianzhang Palace.

Liu Che could vaguely see the scene of thousands of horses galloping in Shanglin Garden.

If you walk a little further ahead, you can see again that tens of thousands of people are like ants, carrying pieces of wood, as if they are going to make beams for a house.

Others are digging the soil, mixing it into blocks, and then drying it in the sun...

Some people open kilns to burn these "blocks of earth".

To be more specific, he couldn't see anything clearly.

"They really treat the area around Shanglinyuan as their home."

More than half a month had passed since the last conversation with Liu Jing. There were only about five days left before the martial arts performance.

Apart from dealing with state affairs, Liu Che's mind during this period was filled with the issues that Liu Jing had mentioned.

No wonder he didn't want to...

It is true that over this period of time, the situation of the disaster victims has been gradually appeased, but how to resettle them has become a major problem for the country.

Those who have land can be allowed to go back to farm.

The young and strong ones can be added to the "border defense force" after they have eaten their fill, but not too many of them can be sent at once, otherwise they will become a source of instability rather than a force that is available at any time.

And more importantly...

The majority of the victims were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and they had no land at all. They were what Liu Jing called "refugees"!
Even the imperial court couldn't keep supporting these people. After all, there had been constant disasters over the years, and the imperial court had no food in stock!

These current difficulties were enough to give Liu Che a headache.

Not to mention, under the thirteen provinces and ministries, as he had done before, he had issued a decree to abolish the "Shen Ming Law", and used extremely harsh words to require each province and ministry to report the true situation of the bandits and gangsters in their area as soon as possible.

They even sent the governor again to conduct a civil investigation...

Although he has not yet received comprehensive information about the entire Han Dynasty, the reports from the states close to the capital alone are enough to make him anxious.

The situation of refugees in various places is not optimistic, and these people may take risks at any time and rebel again...

Huo Guang also compiled the "atrocities" of sieges committed by troops in various places in recent years. The more he read, the more frightened he became.

During the years when he was obsessed with immortality, the situation in various places had become so bad that he could not imagine!

And these...

Before this, he had never asked about it!
Even the governors of various places rarely reported this matter. In their exchanges with the court, the most common thing they mentioned was some "auspicious signs" appearing in various places, or even the appearance of the ancient masters in the rumors...

In the past, he would be very excited when he saw these things. Sometimes, when he was interested, he would even go out to meet them in person.

For example, Lady Gouyi was a woman who was introduced by a local official when he was traveling around the world. She was a wonderful woman who had a "hook-shaped miracle" in her palm since she was a child!
When he saw it at that time, he was naturally overjoyed and thought it was a gift from God.

But now it seems shocking!

Because similar situations have been going on for more than ten years!

The previous method of recommending filial and honest people, which was based mainly on "virtue, filial piety and righteousness", has apparently become corrupted.

"You've been thinking about it for so long, but you still can't think of a solution?"

at this time.

Liu Che looked at Huo Guang and others behind him with gloomy eyes.

"Your Majesty, you should inform the whole nation immediately and return to the spirit of integrity and virtue as soon as possible."

Huo Guang said: "Fortunately, Emperor Jing's grandson has already expelled the alchemists, so this kind of situation should be reduced."

"Reducing does not mean there will be no more. What's more... he is right. Even if we change it back, the local officials will still recommend their own followers. In the long run, the world of our Han Dynasty will eventually be in the hands of these powerful people!"

"The mausoleum town system did allow these people to have further exchanges within Chang'an."

"Even in the future, if they promote the virtuous and avoid relatives and recommend each other, the court will not be able to find out!"

Hear the words.

Huo Guang, Jin Midi and others fell silent again.

What Emperor Jing's grandson said is indeed being verified step by step. If I hadn't thought about it in that direction, I would have thought it was nothing.

But the more I think about it, the scarier it becomes.

From local tyrants to the recommendation system, and then to the mausoleum town system...

Before I knew it, a line had formed.

Anyone on this line will probably naturally become "one".

"His Majesty!"

At this time, Sang Hongyang interrupted everyone's thoughts and said, "In five days, there will be a martial arts performance."

"It seems that the grandson of the Emperor Jing recruited young and strong people from the disaster victims, and recently obtained permission from His Majesty to build homes for these disaster victims."

"It's clear that the goal is to unleash the full potential of these young and strong people."

"It's to make them burn their boats." At this point, Sang Hongyang paused, "Although we can't see how they can possibly defeat Li Guangli."

"But at the moment, we have developed the belief that we must win, and even have to win!"

"I can see all of this." After their last conversation, Liu Che came to the Jianzhang Palace and continued observing.

Anyway, over the years, Jianzhang Palace has to some extent replaced the "Weiyang Palace".

Unless it is a military or national affair, under normal circumstances, the inner court can decide eighty percent of the affairs of the country.

"But I still don't see how he wants them to be rich and powerful."

This was what Sang Hongyang was most concerned about.

Seeing Liu Che looking at him impatiently, Sang Hongyang hurriedly said, "I have been thinking about this for a while, I am afraid that the solution that Emperor Jing said he has should be in this wealthy Chang'an."

After hearing this, several people began to think deeply again.

And Liu Che couldn't help but fall into consideration.

Just suddenly...

There was dust all over the sky ahead, and another "galloping horse" was coming. This time, the momentum seemed to be more than twice as strong as before.

The hooves sound in waves, and if you listen carefully, you can even hear some "uniform" patterns.

This was not only discovered by Liu Che, but also by Huo Guang and others.

"Your Majesty..." Jin Midi asked in amazement, "Could it be that Emperor Jing's grandson has mastered some method of training cavalry? How come there has been such a big change in just one month?"

"How is that possible? Cavalry training requires years of accumulation. The Xiongnu people are said to have grown up on horseback since childhood, which is why they have superb riding skills. When Guanjun Hou was able to lead our Han cavalry to roam the grasslands, it took him several years to train a group of cavalrymen who were good at fighting..."

"And the grandson of Emperor Jing is only a dozen days old..."

The group was shocked and wanted to take a closer look.

however.

Long before, Liu Jing had already sent people to guard the four directions and would not let anyone spy on them.

……

Soon, time passed day by day.

Last three days!
"Your Highness, in this small competition between the two sides, the A and D camps win!"

Everyone was panting, their eyes were bloodshot, and their expressions were high.

The person who said these words was a man named Kuang An from Camp Jia.

He is the centurion of the 100-man team in Camp A.

He is an outstanding candidate among the disaster victims.

Liu Jing also often lamented that the Han Dynasty's conscription system, to a certain extent, was no exaggeration to say that every citizen was a soldier.

All the men in the Han Dynasty had basic military skills, although not very good, but definitely good enough.

And if there are those who are gifted or have been trained since childhood, they are no weaker than some elite soldiers.

Especially nowadays…

Liu Jing looked in front of him and saw rows of cavalrymen holding reins, sitting on Gaoqiao saddles, and stepping on stirrups.

Just seven days ago, under his full urging, the craftsmen and these refugees finally made 5,000 Takahashi saddles, one by one.

When people are united, they can move mountains!

There are as many as 30 to 40,000 disaster victims this time, and almost every person has one saddle. It takes seven or eight days to make a Gaoqiao saddle.

The most time-consuming part is still the search for raw materials.

But now, the finished product is here.

When they were running just now, their bodies were several times more stable than before.

Even those whose riding skills are not so good seem to have achieved the state of unity between man and horse in this situation.

You can even stand up on horseback, exert all your strength, and swing a long sword!

everything's ready.

Think of this.

Liu Jing simply smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard. I will give you a day off in the next three days. You can go back and take a look at the new home that has been built."

"And your war horses must be returned to the horse camp as soon as possible."

"In the last two days, we will prepare some secret weapons and formulate a winning plan. After we defeat Li Guangli, you will be able to rest well."
