Han Dao world

Although he said it with a smile, it didn't look serious.

"Your Majesty laughed at me for being stupid."

"It's okay." Liu Xie turned his head and stopped looking at Zhen Mi. "The affairs of Yinfang are complicated, and you are very busy. But no matter how busy you are, you should take some time to reflect on yourself, and don't get confused and be blinded by your eyes."

"Wei." Zhen Mi said awkwardly.

"The bitter cold in the north of the desert is not conducive to farming, so it is only suitable for fishing and animal husbandry. Fishing and animal husbandry can give birth to humans, but cannot support them. Once these tribes grow, going south is their inevitable choice. If they can't control them in the north of the desert, they can only fortify and build in the south of the desert." Fortified, tired of dealing with it. The way to use troops is to target people rather than others. The reason why Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were able to make achievements is to take the initiative to attack, go deep into Mobei, and cut grass and roots."

Ma Yunlu's eyes became brighter. "Your Majesty is right. Hulu come and go like the wind. It is difficult to make meritorious service by passively fighting. It is better to take the initiative to attack."

Zhen Mi also regained her composure. "However, General Wei needs a lot of luggage to cross the desert, which is a waste of China. General Huo's light cavalry attack has huge losses. "

Liu Xie nodded. "It may be more cost-effective than building a fortress for thousands of miles. Otherwise, even with Wei Huo, we can only compete for a temporary victory, not long-term stability."

He thought for a while, and then said: "In the future, when the world gets warmer, it will be even better if the bitter cold land can be cultivated."

There was still a word in his mind.

Although it is still the farming era, the seeds of industrialization have already been sown. In less than a hundred years, industrialization will first appear on this great land.Under that vast land is the blood needed in the industrial age, how can it be handed over to others.

Those who don't plan for the whole world can't plan for a moment; those who don't plan for the overall situation can't plan for a region.Since as a time traveler, Lishi wants to open a chapter for China, he cannot be satisfied with the achievements in front of him, and must look further.

Instead of letting the heroes of this era fight among themselves, it is better to let them see the world with their eyes open and be pioneers and pioneers.

Zhen Mi was moved by the prospect described by Liu Xie, and her eyes were filled with admiration.

What a spectacular sight it will be if the grasslands thousands of miles from east to west are turned into fertile fields that can be cultivated?

To get there, the current Jizhou New Deal is crucial, and Yinfang, which he presides over, shoulders the important task of enlightening the people and improving their wisdom, so there must be no mistakes.In the future, there will be countless latecomers, because they have read the books compiled by Yinfang, learned about the outside world, and stepped into a broader world.

Although I can't accompany the emperor to conquer the world like Ma Guiren, but I can use my own ability to help the emperor, and this life is not in vain.

Zhen Mi walked to Liu Xie's side unknowingly, and looked into the distance.

Not far away, Yuan Heng, who was in charge of recording, stopped his pen, bit the tip of the pen, looked up at Liu Xie's back, his eyes flickered.

She was just taking notes and had no time to think.She stopped at this moment, thinking about the conversation between the three of Liu Xie, the more she thought about it, the more incredible it became.

Just over ten years ago, the big man was still terminally ill, and there were frequent civil upheavals. Jizhou was the center of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, with hundreds of thousands of casualties.Ten years ago, the emperor was coerced by Dong Zhuo and moved westward to Chang'an.Five years ago, in the first battle of Huayin, the emperor, who had not yet been crowned weak, seized power. Since then, the situation has reversed, and the dying man has won one victory after another, heading towards revival.

In just five years, the Son of Heaven will be able to stand here, looking to the north of the desert, and imagining the Han family's iron cavalry traveling thousands of miles.

What a great cause this is?

How will future history books record these five years?

Of course, what made her more curious was why such a miracle could happen.

Is it just God's will?

No, the emperor must have done something right in order to win by surprise and turn the world around.

A thought suddenly appeared in Yuan Heng's mind.

She remembered that Yang Xiu once said that the emperor asked him to think about a question.If Yang Xiu can answer this question, he will be able to transform into a dragon like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, and become a pioneer in the 500-year change.

She didn't know whether Yang Xiu solved this problem.But from the emperor's actions in the past few years, she somewhat understood the emperor's intentions.

The key to this issue is that all peoples are equal.

Sen is the foundation of the country, and the emperor never wanted to eliminate scholars.On the contrary, he wants to turn everyone into a scholar, so that the foundation of the country will be stronger and stronger, instead of some people who pretend to be a scholar-bureaucrat, talk about benevolence, justice and morality, and plead for the people.

Chapter 965

All in all.

Yuan Heng seemed to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, and his thoughts were brightened instantly, and he had a deeper understanding of the various actions of the emperor.

Persisting in drawing pictures of Luoyang, digging deep into the remains of party members, forcibly saving fields, and driving opponents to the Bohai Sea are all unified under this idea.

And there is a better explanation for Bingliang's elite soldiers who have caused troubles in the world from tigers and wolves to elites that the court relies on.

It is more meaningful to give them a foundation than to educate them.

Those who have a fixed property have perseverance, take the land from the aristocratic family and the big clan, and distribute it to the ordinary people, so that the ordinary people can become the foundation of the imperial court, not the trouble of the imperial court.

The Qiang people in Liangzhou are like this, and so are the Yellow Turbans in the Central Plains.

Dutian is the foundation.Without this foundation, everything is empty talk.

Therefore, although Dutian is difficult, the emperor still perseveres, starting from Bingliang, and expanding to Jizhou step by step.

So far, the process of Dutian is still not halfway.However, as Jizhou is the largest state in the world, the effect of Dutian is incomparable, and it will surely shock the world in a few years.According to the will of the people, the rest of the states will follow suit quickly.

Zhang Zhao and others refused to save the land, and wanted to realize the kingly way, which has to be said to be wishful thinking.

How can water without a source and a tree without roots last long?

Yuan Heng was very excited, and after being on duty, he told Cai Yan about her feelings.

After listening to Yuan Heng's explanation, Cai Yan looked at Yuan Heng's record, thought for a moment, and smiled slightly. "Aheng, if the emperor's grand plan and great cause are to be realized, there is still a lack of someone by his side."

"Who?"

"The Queen's mother is in charge of the world, the noble Xun is in charge of education, the noble Ma is in charge of conquest, and Zhen Mi is about to enter the palace, so she can help the emperor manage merchants. The emperor still lacks a confidant who is familiar with government affairs." Cai Yan smiled even brighter. "Although the ministers of the foreign court are capable, they are too involved, and it is inevitable that they will have selfish motives. The emperor has to guard against it. But he has a lot of things to do every day, and he can't always compete with the ministers. Omissions are inevitable. He needs someone who is proficient in government affairs to help him pay attention, and prevent them from happening. , so as not to be led astray by the ministers."

Yuan Heng was so smart, how could he not understand what Cai Yan meant, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Sister, I'm asking you for advice. Why are you making fun of me? When it comes to government affairs, Mr. Xun Gui has a father like Ling Yin, and an elder brother like Duhu Youyan. He has both civil and military skills. Who can compare?"

Cai Yan shook his head. "It is true that the Xun family in Yingchuan has produced a large number of talents, but they have little experience in governance and are too party-minded. Otherwise, Xun Yu would not have put down the political affairs of Hedong because of party affairs, and he has come to the line. After all, they are still rookies. The understanding of the government is far less profound than that of families like the Yuan family and the Yang family. Therefore, Yang Gong and his son are the most important ministers of the emperor. But unfortunately, they are all men, and they can only be officials of the outer court, not the son of the emperor. Pillowman."

Yuan Heng blinked his eyes, hesitated to speak.

Cai Yan smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, you are not the most suitable person. You are too young. When you are sensible, the Yuan family is no longer a family of ministers who are dedicated to the court. Your sister has more knowledge than you, but It's a pity that she is already a married woman, not to mention being a nobleman, even entering the palace as a female official is inconvenient."

Yuan Heng looked at Cai Yan and understood what Cai Yan meant.

The Yuan family bears the name of a rebellious minister, and if they want to rise again, they must make achievements that ordinary people can't match.

If she can enter the palace, it will not only help the emperor, but also greatly help the Yuan family.

This was exactly the purpose of her father Yuan Shu sending her to travel.

"Ling Shi, I want to write these short-sighted opinions into an article, can you polish them up for me?"

"You write it." Cai Yan nodded in satisfaction. "I can't change it, and there is His Majesty."

"Sister——" Yuan Heng was so ashamed that he shook Cai Yan's arm.

Cai Yan patted Yuan Heng's head and sighed enviously.

-

Yuan Heng quickly wrote his thoughts and results into an article. After asking Cai Yan to polish it, he found a chance and handed it to Liu Xie in person.

She was so nervous that she could hardly speak, her face was flushed even redder, and even her ears were red.

The few pages of paper fluttering in my hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, shaking non-stop.

Liu Xie just glanced at her in surprise, then lowered his head, took the article, glanced at the author's name at the beginning, and said, "You wrote it alone?"

He didn't pay attention to it just now, thinking it was written by Yuan Heng and Cai Yan.

"Yes, Ling Shi Weichen polished the text, but refused to sign it."

"I've grown up." Liu Xie laughed: "I can write articles by myself. Okay, okay, there is another female doctor. I can ask you directly if I have anything in the future."

Yuan Heng couldn't laugh or cry.

Listening to the meaning of the emperor, in his heart, he has always been a child?

Liu Xie didn't notice Yuan Heng's careful thinking, he was attracted by Yuan Heng's article.

In general, Yuan Heng's articles are not profound, let alone theoretical construction, but just an overview of his actions over the years, unified under the idea of ​​​​solidifying the country's foundation.

But the good thing is this.There are no references to scriptures, no awkward vocabulary or uncommon words, all are plain, easy-to-understand vernacular, and the logic is smooth, and anyone with a little common sense can understand it.

This is probably the article that gives the most thorough understanding of his motivation and the closest to his original intention so far.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, but he controlled his emotions.

Putting the article on the case, he pondered for a moment. "Is this all your own perception?"

"Yes... yes." Yuan Heng was a little apprehensive.

"Where did the inspiration come from?"

"Uh..." Yuan Heng thought about it carefully. "The original cause should be the difference between His Majesty's New Deal and the minister Gaozu Huairou Xiongnu."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment.

This is really far enough, her great ancestor... seems to be Yuan An.

"Are you familiar with the deeds of your great-grandfather?"

"The Yuan family in Runan was born after my great-grandfather, and his deeds must be known to all the children of the Yuan family." Speaking of these, Yuan Heng quickly calmed down. "Although I am young, I often sat behind the curtain with my elder sister when I was a child, listening to my father and grandparents discussing current affairs, and I know a little about the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods of hardness and softness."

Liu Xie was stunned, secretly envious.

The children of this aristocratic family really have a long history of family education. They have grown up listening to these things since they were young.

"Do you think it's just right or soft."

"The combination of rigidity and softness is the best."

Liu Xie smiled. "tell me the story."

Yuan Heng glanced around, then reached out and pointed to Liu Xie's ring-shoulders hanging beside him. "I dare to use this sword as a metaphor. If you want to get a precious sword, you have to go through hundreds of refinements. The one who refines it removes its impurities to make it pure, flexible and not easy to break. Then sharpen its edge and seek its sharpness. It can be solved easily. If there is softness but no strength, the firmness cannot be broken, unless everyone is a strong man. If there is strength but no softness, it will easily collapse, unless everyone is like a Pao Ding."

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised. "Do you still know quenching?"

Quenching is a new process just developed by the Bingzhou Iron Officer, and it is still in the confidential stage.Although Yuan Heng is not classified as a secret, she is a clerical worker, so it seems unnecessary to know this specific craft.

Cai Yan didn't know much about quenching.

It's not that there are no channels, it's that they don't care at all.

Even a warrior like Ma Yunlu only cares about whether this new technology can be installed quickly, not the principle.

"Things are different. They are different from old swords and swords. I wanted to know more about it, so I got to know it a little bit." Yuan Heng said with some anxiety, blushing. "I didn't intend to inquire about the secrets, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chapter 966

Liu Xie waved his hand to signal Yuan Heng not to be nervous.

She assisted Cai Yan in handling the paperwork, and was one of the writers of the daily note, handling countless secrets.If he didn't trust her, he wouldn't have arranged for her to learn rituals by Cai Yan's side, and he wouldn't have asked her to record daily notes.

To put it bluntly, like Zhen Mi, Yuan Heng entered the palace sooner or later.

It's just that he wants to control the initiative in his hands, and the ministers cannot have the final say.

At this moment, the political literacy displayed by Yuan Heng strengthened his judgment even more.It's time to elevate Yuan Heng's status and let that vicious Yuan Shu work harder.

"Tell me what you think of your great ancestor Huairou."

"Wei." Yuan Heng responded, "Now it seems that Huairou is biased. But in terms of the situation at that time, Huairou acted helplessly..."

Yuan Heng talked eloquently, explaining her understanding of Yuan An's Huairou strategy.

Liu Xie listened quietly.

It is undeniable that she is suspected of being a taboo for His Holiness, but her explanation cannot be said to be unreasonable, it is logically reasonable.

Her reason was that the reason why she took the policy of being gentle was because she didn't have the strength to conquer, let alone the need to conquer.

At that time, the northern Huns were already weak and had to surrender to the big Han, and hoped to defend the border with the same money as the southern Huns.

Dou Xian insisted on the conquest not because the Northern Huns threatened the great Han, but because he openly sent assassins to kill Liu Chang, the capital of the capital, and committed a crime. Even the Queen Mother Dou could not come forward to protect him.

Dou Xianle Ming Yanran Mountain, seems to have made great achievements, but after wasting huge manpower and material resources, he did not bring peace to northern Xinjiang.

The Northern Huns perished, the Xianbei people rose, and the grasslands were still dominated by Hulu.

For the big man, the border troubles have not been alleviated.

From the overall point of view, under the premise that the grassland cannot be truly controlled, Huairou is the safest choice.

Sending troops to conquer is costly, and if it fails, the loss will be unbearable.In the autumn of the sixth year of Xiping, Zang Min and other three generals went out to conquer Xianbei and were defeated. They lost and returned less than eleven generals, which is a clear example.

"If you win, you won't gain much. If you lose, you will suffer heavy losses. What do you think His Majesty should choose?"

Facing Yuan Heng's question, Liu Xie couldn't help laughing.
