The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 419 Yin-Yang Translocation
At this moment, Liu Xie wished he could slap himself hard.

The so-called official talk is a kind of decent polite language that people in high positions say to their superiors, subordinates, and colleagues on certain grand occasions. The authenticity of this kind of words is generally relatively low. About eight points are false, because the most important thing for high-ranking and powerful people is to be decent, and their every word and every deed is an example for all people in the world or for the scholars of the country.Maintaining dignity is the most basic quality of a high-ranking person. If you tell the truth, you will have endless troubles and fall into the shoes of others.

Therefore, Emperor Liu Xie, who is currently the supreme ruler of the entire Han Dynasty, is very good at speaking officialdom, and what he speaks is better than ordinary people, and all of them are pleasant to listen to.

But you have to be moderate in everything, too many good words will make people tired, and too many official words will come true.

For example, at this moment, the title of the first virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty is a bit too big.

The problem is that the words have been spoken and the deal is done. There are more than 200 people in the entire hall listening here. It is impossible for Liu Xie to play tricks.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

That annoying voice sounded again, pulling Liu Xie back from his fugue to the court meeting.

"Ah? What...what's the start?"

Jia Xu's complexion did not change, and his tone was still unhurried: "Your Majesty, the old minister is asking His Majesty, and now His Majesty wants to confer a canonization and reward, how should Cao Sikong, the most virtuous minister of the Han Dynasty, support him?"

Liu Xie wished he could pounce on this old thief and kill him.

"Doctor Jia's words are justified. Both generations of Cao Aiqing and his son have worked hard for the country and made outstanding contributions. The country and society are all supported by the Cao family. Everyone in the country knows that I can treat you lightly. However, Cao Sikong is already ranked among the three princes, and he is extremely human. Minister, there is no room for promotion right now?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, did not speak, but winked to the side.

Jia Xu winked in the direction, and one person stood up, who was serving Zhonghuaxin.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have a suggestion."

As soon as Liu Xie saw Hua Xin get up, he felt uneasy for a while!
Because Hua Xin was a well-known running dog under Cao Cao's tent in the past, Cao Cao pointed out that Hua Xin would be beaten, and if a bone was thrown, Hua Xin would pick it up, even if the bone was thrown into the frying pan. Hua Xin dared to jump into it, showing the heroic spirit of being willing to cut himself into pieces for his master.

"Ai Qing, what suggestion do you have, just to put it in words?"

Hua Xin said: "Fujian this dynasty, since Duke Sikong Cao, father and son have supported the government, spread all over the world, loyal to the community, and benevolent to the people. Although Lu Wang in Zhou Dynasty and Zhang Liang in Han Dynasty, it is difficult to look back. Now the Quartet Disturbance, heroes rise together, the artifact is in danger, the ministers meeting, I hope that your Majesty will follow the way of Emperor Xiaojing, change the law and system with the mountains and rivers as the most important, abolish the Sangong and restore the prime minister system, and make Cao Gong the prime minister, assist your majesty to help the world, Supporting the country, conforming to the heart of heaven above, conforming to the will of the people below, the world is blessed! The ancestors are blessed! The living beings are blessed!"

Cao Zhi's face changed slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't make a sound, letting others talk.

Liu Xie turned pale with anger, pointed at Hua Xin tremblingly and said, "What did you say? Restore the old system of prime minister? It's just ridiculous..."

Liu Xie hadn't finished his words, but he saw Wang Lang, the admonishing official under the court, firstly said: "My minister seconded the proposal."

Zuo Zhonglang Li Fu also said: "The minister seconded the proposal"

Taishicheng Xu Zhi: "The minister seconded the proposal."

"........."

Sparsely, more than 100 people directly stood up under the main hall to second the proposal.

Liu Xie's chest rose and fell, and he stared angrily. Facing such a powerful force, he was speechless.

**********************
After the dynasty was dispersed, Cao Zhi ignored the congratulations of all the ministers, but went out of the palace directly to chase Jia Xu who was farther ahead.

"Mr. Jia!"

Jia Xu turned around slowly, looked at Cao Zhi with a smile, and said, "My lord...no, what advice should the prime minister have?"

"Don't bark!" Cao Zhi hurriedly looked around and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet!"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "It's just a matter of time."

Cao Zhi sighed in a low voice, and said: "Mr. Jia, didn't we agree that we should put aside the matter of abolishing the Sangong and setting aside the matter for now? Why are you..."

Jia Xu was amused when he heard the words: "My lord, you are asking the wrong person. The matter of abolishing the Sangong and resetting the prime minister was proposed by Hua Xin. What has it to do with the old man?"

Cao Zhi said angrily: "Don't shirk! If it wasn't for your order, how could Hua Xin dare to make such a big statement?"

Jia Xu chuckled and said, "My lord, can't you see that the emperor is restless now and wants to seize power, if the old man doesn't give advice, I'm afraid he will be greedy in the future and make more trouble."

Cao Zhi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, so there is nothing wrong with doing this."

Jia Xu said seriously: "My lord, you want to be a loyal minister. It doesn't matter if you are old, but it's time to score! What time is it? During the turmoil! Yuan Shang and Liu Bei are enemies. We have to do our best to guard against them. The emperor comes out at this time Fighting for power will only cause internal turmoil in Xudu, and the country is in danger. Let alone us, even Xun Yu, who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, will not allow it... At this moment, we have no extra energy to focus on the emperor. It is necessary to clearly define the ownership of the military and political power in Xudu."

Jia Xu paused, and said: "The best way to determine the ownership of power is to establish a prime minister! The prime minister is the head of all officials, and he is in charge of military affairs. At this moment, you must occupy this position."

Cao Zhi: "..."

*******************************
After Yuan Shang returned to Yecheng, he first took over the wine shops of Yuan Mai and Deng Ai, then recruited the two boys into the army, and then recruited Yan Yuan and Wentu into the main army as captains of the army. Temporarily take charge of the security tasks of the two boys.

There was an interesting episode in which Wen Tu was renamed.

Wen Chou Chou... To be honest, if this name was given by someone else, Wen Tu would have to draw his sword and castrate that person!

But this name happened to be given by Yuan Shangqi, and Wen Tu had no choice but to thank him.

Yuan Shang also knew that this name was a bit... well, so he didn't force Wen Tu to change it, and he still used his original name to the outside world. As for the name Wen Chou Chou, is it an alias, stage name, or nickname?Anyway, with such a title, I can't erase it if I want to.

Just like in Journey to the West, although Sun Wukong is the Monkey King, everyone knows that he has another title called Bi Mawen, the same reason.

After the new personnel arrangement was finalized, Yuan Shang started the next big plan.

Build a navy!

But the establishment of a navy is not a trivial matter, and all important officials need to be convened for discussion.

Therefore, after returning to Hebei for the first court meeting, Yuan Shang introduced Gan Ning to those present, and told everyone about his intention to build a navy.

After hearing Yuan Shang's suggestion, Zhang Wenwu couldn't help being silent.

Among all the civil and military officials, Jushou is the head of the civil servants, and Zhang He is the most respected military commander. Now that Zhang He is in charge of the army in Qingzhou, everyone's eyes will soon fall on Jushou.

Ju Shou was silent for a while, before he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my subordinates... do not agree to build a navy."

Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect that it was Ju Shou who opposed his suggestion.

"why?"

Ju Shou thought for a while and said, "First of all, the current population situation in Hebei is not suitable for forming a new army."

Yuan Shangdao: "Why isn't it suitable?"

Ju Shou considered his words for a while, and said: "When the old lord was alive, one out of three men was drawn and most of the young men in Hebei were recruited into the army. The farming and labor services in the four states have also been decadent, the number of farmers has decreased, taxes have become heavier, and military pay is very high... After the old lord left, the lord ascended the throne, ordered the army to be streamlined, the number of soldiers was reduced, and the army returned to farming, which greatly weakened the army. The expenditure on military affairs has also made taxation relatively stable. Now Ji, Qing, Bing, You, the four prefectures plus Liaodong, there are 74 households and 510 households. The soldiers stationed at the gate, together with the regular army under the full authority of the lord, have more than 420 troops, which is almost eleven people supporting one person. Such a number of households and soldiers will not delay the development of people's livelihood in Hebei, and will also There will not be too much military pay due to the large number of enlisted soldiers... But at this moment, if the navy is recruited, it will change the balance of the military and civilian households in the four states, causing people's livelihood and agricultural affairs to be unstable for a period of time."

Yuan Shang bowed his head and thought deeply when he heard the words.

He knew what Jushou said was reasonable, but he knew that the current situation in the four prefectures of Hebei was much better than what he knew at the end of Han Dynasty.

Because of Yuan Shang's intrusion, although Yuan Shao still retreated in the Battle of Guandu, his defeat was not tragic, and there was no sign of blood flowing into rivers of blood from being killed by Cao Cao!

On the other hand, because of Yuan Shang's intrusion, the famous Battle of Chibi in history has not happened yet.

These two catastrophic wars, which were enough to shake the spine of the population of Middle-earth, have changed, so that the population of Middle-earth remains in a relatively optimistic situation.In addition, Yuan Shang changed Yuan Shao's system of unrestrained recruitment of soldiers and horses when he was alive, and returned the troops to farming. After a few years, the situation in the North has changed drastically, and the people's livelihood is prosperous, and the people live in peace.

This is an excellent omen. Because the omen is good, Jushou doesn’t want to destroy it. He doesn’t want to damage Hebei’s development momentum by setting up a navy for no reason. With Hebei’s current strength, it is possible to raise a navy, but it will still happen. Delay people's livelihood!And for the current Yuan Jun, the navy is equivalent to eating dry food, and there is no use for it at all.

Who is willing to spend money to support idlers?
Yuan Shang thought for a while, then sighed: "Aside from not wanting to shake the balance of the family, what reason do you have?"

Jushou stretched out his finger and said: "Second, it costs money to build a navy. It is the same to employ people, and it is the same to use ships. To build thousands of warships, how much labor will be obtained and how much money will be spent, the Lord will naturally know."

Gan Ning was anxious at the side, and hurriedly said: "When I came, the lord promised me 300 million yuan, and I took all the money..."

Ju Shou shook his head and smiled, "What can I do with three million dollars?"

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "Apart from human money, what else?"

Ju Shou said: "In addition to money, water is also needed to build a navy! There are ships in the south and horses in the north, and Dongwu has the Yangtze River, which can be used for military training. Although we also have the Yellow River here, the Yellow River is turbulent, which is very different from the Yangtze River. It is impossible to practice at all, so how to choose a training place?"

Beside Jushou, Pang Ji, who also stole 100 million yuan from Liu Bei in Jingzhou, got up and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, there is a way to do it, which is to dig a deep pit a few miles south of Yecheng and divert the water from Zhangzhou to the city. Enter, become an artificial lake, train sailors!"

Ju Shou shook his head and said, "If it is true what Yuan Tu said, then this naval army will be abolished!"

Pang Ji was furious: "Ju Gonghe, what do you mean? Are you deliberately making trouble with Pang? Come on, come on, let's argue today..."

Ju Shou sneered: "I'm still afraid that you, a villain, won't succeed?"

"Who are you calling a villain?"

"I am talking about you!"

"........."

"Boom, boom, boom!" Yuan Shang patted the table heavily, and said in a cold voice, "What's wrong? You're about to commit the old problem again?"

Pang Ji and Ju Shou bowed their heads and remained silent.

"If you dare to fight again, you will be fined! Your monthly salary will be deducted!" Yuan Shang said viciously.

On the other side, Guo Tu hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Then I dare to ask my lord, what should I do if I run out of money this month?"

"Continue to deduct next month's! After deducting my son's deduction!"

Everyone gasped.I began to figure out how much I could drive each month.

Yuan Shang calmed down, and continued to talk about the topic of the navy: "Yuantu, Mr. Gong and you are right. Digging artificial lakes to train the navy, the soldiers trained are not ideal. There are winds and whirlpools on the Yangtze River. , with reefs, which are completely different from lakes."

Yuan Shang agreed with Jushou's opinion, because he knew in later generations that Pang Ji's strategy was also used by Cao Cao in history.

Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao occupied the Central Plains. In order to expand his power to the south, he dug an artificial lake eight kilometers south of Tongquetai in Yecheng, trained his sailors, and called this place Xuanwu Pool.

It was a mighty thing, but it turned out to be too hacky. The northern army coming out of Xuanwu Pond was useless. When it encountered Jiangdong Zhou Yu's troops, they were beaten to pieces, and finally burned by a fire in Chibi The complete annihilation shakes the foundation of Middle-Earth, which can be described as epic.

"People, money, training place." Yuan Shang thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Ju's points are correct, and Yuan agrees very much, but there is a solution."

Ju Shou heard the words and said, "What can my lord do?"

Yuan Shangdao: "As for the money, I have already entrusted Deng Chang to write to you. Have you done it? Tuoba Liwei and Tadun, let them go to the western countries to search for Jinsha, which has been filled into the national treasury. Did you do it?"

Ju Shou heard the words and sighed: "My lord is far-sighted, and I can tell from your ability. My lord asks Tuoba Liwei and Ta Dun to develop eastward. One is to get the so-called Gobi gold sand to fill the treasury. The other is to consider overseas development. This kind of ambition really makes the old man admire. It is not difficult for the old man to ask Tian Yu to communicate with Tuoba Liwei and the others. If foreign tribes are reused, not to mention offending small countries such as Wusun, Qiuci, Shule, Shanshan, Cheshihou, etc., it will easily increase the strength of Tuoba and Tadun, which is not suitable for control."

Yuan Shang smiled and said: "You can control them now, and you will not be able to control them in the future. If you want long-term peace and stability, you need to think about getting rid of them once and for all. Don't worry, Mr. Ju. I will definitely be careful when foreign affairs affect my foundation in China. This matter is under my control, you just need Tian Yu and the others to support it."

After all, Yuan Shangdao: "Tuoba and others develop westward, so I predict that what he will offer next year will no longer be cattle and sheep, but the treasures of the western countries and the Gobi desert near the Zhungeer Basin. Jinsha, so the treasury will have an extra expense, and the formation of the navy will be guaranteed."
