Han Dao world

Liu Xie was taken aback, then turned to look at Ma Yunlu. "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?" He thought for a while, and then said, "Do you want someone to talk to?"

Ma Yunlu nodded, and said again: "Sooner or later. Entering the palace early will also make Marquis Wen feel at ease."

"Is Marquis Wen restless?"

"A little bit." Ma Yunlu was silent for a moment. "People from the Guandong place great emphasis on the family, and Marquis Wen was taught that back then. Lu Xiaohuan is an adult, but he has been unable to enter the palace for a long time. Marquis Wen will inevitably be worried that someone will hinder him."

Liu Xie smiled bitterly.

He was too busy these days to notice this.

"Then let Lu Xiaohuan prepare and enter the palace a few years ago."

"only."

Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "It's been a long time since I saw Marquis Wen. Remember to remind me tomorrow to issue an edict to let Marquis Wen come back to report on his duties."

Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up, and he agreed repeatedly.

Liu Xie glanced at her and made a joke. "There are already people in Bingzhou and Liangzhou. Do you want to choose one in Youzhou?"

Ma Yunlu raised his eyelids. "This is a good idea. Your Majesty will choose a queen from Sili in the thirteen states of the world, and each of the remaining twelve states will choose a nobleman, and the rain and dew will be shared."

"Then if we win the Western Regions in the future, do we have to choose a few more nobles in the Western Regions?"

"Your Majesty don't want to?"

Liu Xie thought about it seriously. "At least so far, I haven't really considered this issue. Although beauties from the Western Regions have exotic charms, it's fine to just look at them. It's not suitable to be included in the harem as a bedside person."

"Why?"

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing. "The body smell is too strong."

Ma Yunlu thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

Although Liu Xie tried his best to advocate enlightenment, to make the world unified, the Huayi family, in private, he still revealed the pride hidden in the heart of the Han people.

-

Early the next morning, Liu Xie summoned Taiwei Chief Shi Yangfu and asked him to write a letter to Yanran Dufu, asking Wen Hou Lu Bu to report to Nanyang years ago.

Of course, the document will not mention Nalu Xiaohuan's entry into the palace.

Nagui is not marrying a queen, the ceremony is very simple and can be handled by the Shaofu.

The world is safe at the beginning, and the grass is simple, which saves trouble and money.

Regardless of the fact that the various counties have achieved great results in the promotion of land reduction, Liu Xie is still short of money, very short of money, and has no mind to deal with these trivial matters at all.Just to supervise Dutian in various counties and counties, nearly 2000 supervisors were added.

These people are all paid salaries, at least 5000 million a year.

This year's total fiscal revenue is expected to be less than 50 billion. After deducting the salaries of officials at all levels and military expenditures, there is almost no surplus.The reason why it can be maintained is because Liu Xie has greatly reduced the expenditure of the harem.

Today's harem, including the queen, has less than 50 people, including men, women and children, and is not as good as some officials with small assets, princes, or even some rich and powerful people.

Although for him, there are already many beauties in the harem, so many make him feel tired.But as an emperor, he is simply synonymous with frugality.Even the minister who has a strong opinion on him cannot deny this.

Tolerance is great, but without desire is strength.This is the confidence that Liu Xiehe and the scholar-officials challenged.

However, Yang Fu was sensitively aware of the subtext of calling Lv Bu into the court, so he couldn't help but say something.

"Your Majesty should have done so long ago."

Liu Xie was puzzled. "Why?"

Yang Fu was outspoken. "Kandong is getting more and more stable, and Kansai's advantages are not there, so Bingliang will inevitably have doubts."

Chapter 1054

Liu Xie was surprised.

He always thought that the ministers were very harmonious, and the monarch and his ministers were very frank, but now he knew that was not the case.

Just because Lu Xiaohuan did not enter the palace in time, it aroused the worries of the Bingliang people, and even suspected that the imperial court would once again abandon the Bingliang people and rely heavily on the Guandong people.

He hasn't put into practice his plan to disband Zhang Ji and return to his fields.

Sure enough, there are no trivial matters in the royal family, and every move can touch the heartstrings of countless people.

This reminded Liu Xie.Many things are not as calm as they appear on the surface, and there are more open and secret struggles under the water.Bing Liang's temper is straight, but it's better.The people of Kanto are more reserved, and they don't know how many small thoughts are hidden behind their obedience.

It's too cold at the heights, so don't be careless at any time.

Liu Xie then discussed with Yang Fu again, Ma Chao's request to go out of the fortress, should he agree?

This time, Yang Fu expressed his objection.Like Liu Xie, he felt that Ma Chao was too impatient and unnecessary.

As the lieutenant of protecting the Qiang, Ma Chao's task is to appease the Eastern Qiang, strengthen the education, and as soon as possible to melt the Eastern Qiang, become the same name as the registered household of the imperial court, and at the same time provide a barrier for Guanzhong to prevent the barbarians from outside the Great Wall from entering .

Of course, from another perspective, Ma Chao does not seem to be up to the task and should be adjusted.Either cooperate with the corresponding deputy for him, or transfer him out of Lingzhou directly.

Liu Xie felt reasonable.

Ma Chao is just a simple warrior, and governing civil affairs is not his forte.Letting him sit in Beidi is obviously not as competent as Liu Ye sitting in Jincheng.

After discussing with Yang Fu, Liu Xie decided to arrange a deputy for Ma Chao, and adjusted the prefect of the Northland and the county magistrates to reduce Ma Chao's civil burden and focus on the military.

-

The end of the year is approaching, and Wancheng is becoming more and more lively.

With a volume of books in her arms, Qin Mi wandered aimlessly in Wan City, and at the same time kept stuffing snacks into her mouth.

Books and snacks are just bought.

Wanshi is worthy of being a big city, with a wide variety of goods, which dazzled him who has always been conceited of knowledge and knowledge. There are many things that he has never heard of, let alone know how to use.

He wanted to write an annals of scenery, recording these novel customs and objects, as well as interesting rumors.

When he brought it up with Wang Can, Wang Can vetoed it.

Wang Can said that it is a good idea to write Fengwuzhi, but you can't write it only based on hearsay.There are already such books, and I have read several of them. Some of them were written by people from the Western Regions. Isn't it more accurate than what you heard?

Your method was okay a few years ago, but now it is much more difficult to write Fengwuzhi before.In addition to literary talents, personal experience is also required, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes and be laughed at.

Qin Mi didn't believe it at first, until he saw more than a dozen of Fengwuzhi in the book store.

He carried one of them under his arm.

It's just that compared with the shock brought by so many Fengwuzhi, there are so many types of books and the prices are so cheap, which makes him even more excited.In the process of chatting with the owner of the book shop, he knew that these books were all printed by Yinfang, and the cost was not high.If the quality of the book is high, it is expected that many people will buy it. Not only does it not cost money, but it can also earn some retouching.

Nanyang not only has government-run bookstores, but also many private bookstores. Now there is an urgent need for good manuscripts, the competition is fierce, and the lottery pens offered are also very attractive.

After reading a few books that were said to be selling well, Qin Mi decided to give it a try.

If you can take advantage of the opportunity to print a book, earn some retouching pens, and buy some gifts for your family, of course it would be great.

Wang Can gave him a collection of poems. Not only are the poems good, but the binding is also very exquisite, which can be called a boutique.Putting it on the desk and playing with it from time to time is also a joy in life.

It's just that he has no poems and no suitable manuscripts at hand.

After wandering around the city for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, it was time for Wang Can to get off work, so Qin Mi left the city gate.

Wang Can has a dormitory in the county school and invites Qin Mi to live with him.

As the grandson of the former Nanyang prefect Wang Chang, Wang Can was prosperous in Nanyang and had no worries about food and clothing.In comparison, Qin Mi was much poorer.If Wang Can hadn't invited him to live with him, he wouldn't have known where to live.

The prefect's mansion gave him some money, but he didn't expect that the price of goods in Nanyang was so high that the money he brought was not enough.

When he walked into the gate of the county school, he saw Jijiu Song Zhongzheng standing in the corridor of the front yard, looking at the newly repaired wall, as if mourning his concubine.Qin Mi didn't want to be troublesome, so she took her steps lightly and slipped past quietly.

After entering the small courtyard, Qin Mi took out the key to open the door.

"Hey, Qin Ziying!" A man rushed over from behind, grabbed Qin Mi, and laughed loudly.

Looking back, Qin Mi was also a little surprised. "Siqian, are you back?"

The person who came was Yin Mo, whose name was Siqian, from Fu County. He had a relationship with Qin Mi in a neighboring county several times.Qin Mi knew that he and Li Ren from the same county were studying under Song Zhong, and originally wanted to find them, but after they went to study in Nanyang County, the two went out on business and never saw each other.

"I just came back. I heard that there is a township party living in the county school. I have been guarding you all afternoon." Yin Mo glanced at the book under Qin Mi's armpit. "Go to the bookstore?"

While Qin Mi answered, she led Yin Mo to the door and prepared to take a seat.

After Yin Mo came back, he heard about Qin Mi's situation and raised his sleeves. "When you come to Nanyang, I'm also a half-landlord. I should welcome you. Unfortunately, I'm out on business and I haven't seen you for so long. Today I invite you to eat some Nanyang specialties. It's a crime. Don't refuse, there are still a few I have an appointment with every Yizhou township party."

Qin Mi couldn't refuse, so he changed his clothes, left a note for Wang Can, and followed Yin Mo out of the house.

On the way, Qin Mi asked about Yin Mo's whereabouts these days.

Yin Mo didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "Ziyu, I heard that your meeting with the emperor is not going well?"

“How come you see?”

"Even though the Son of Heaven is young, he dares to use people. He has no reason to use your knowledge because of your knowledge. After thinking about it, it is natural that the words are not speculative."

Qin Mi nodded and told the story of meeting the Son of Heaven.

Yin Mo shook his head, and said regretfully, "Ziyu, if you had traveled earlier, you would never have done so."

"Where did this remark come from?"

"Haven't you read the Di Bao?" Yin Mo looked at Qin Mi in surprise. "There are many articles about Dutian in the Dibao, and the expositions are very precise. Many of them are from everyone. After reading one or two articles, you will know that Dutian is beneficial to the country and the people. Arguing with the emperor?"

"I didn't talk about saving fields with the Son of Heaven, but I talked about education with the Son of Heaven."

"You know where we've been these days? What have we been doing?"

"I was going to ask."

"Go to the mountains. In addition to assisting the county to supervise the field work, it is to count the children who should go to school, and select good seedlings who can be brought to the county for further education. In addition, our trip this time is also to prepare for going to various counties and townships next year to run schools. According to the notice issued by the Situ Mansion, in order to participate in the selection of officials, students from various counties must have the experience of teaching in the county and township, at least three years. If it is in the mountains, two years is enough. "

"What kind of decision is this?"

"Nature is to strengthen education."

Qin Mi blurted out. "How many people will be raised, and how much food will it cost?"

Yin Mo glanced at Qin Mi with a slight chill in his eyes. "So the emperor wants to save the fields."

Chapter 1055 The Unity of Knowledge and Action

Qin Mi followed Yin Mo out of the county school, came to the opposite restaurant, and went straight to the second floor.

There was a lot of people on the second floor, many people had already arrived, and they were gathering together in small groups, talking loudly, feeling uncomfortable.

Qin Mi saw Wang Can at a glance.

Wang Can was sitting in the chair, talking with several scholars of similar age, dancing and dancing with high spirits.Seeing Qin Mi, Wang Can immediately stopped, clapped his hands, and said loudly, "Masters, please stop, let me introduce a talented person from Yizhou to you."

Yin Mo leaned close to Qin Mi's ear, and said with a low laugh, "After Wang Zhongxuan became an official, his eloquence has become better and his vision has become higher. It's rare that he is willing to make a name for you. You should show off your talents today. Don't I've lost my momentum in Yizhou." As he spoke, he gently pushed Qin Mi forward, and he disappeared into the crowd.

Wang Can came to Qin Mi, put his arms around Qin Mi's shoulders, and was very affectionate.

"You guys have just returned to the city, so you may not know about Brother Qin's visit. I am lucky to live with Qin Mi, so I know a thing or two. Let me explain to you guys."

Qin Mi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't know what Wang Can meant.

He didn't think it was something to be proud of to be right with the emperor when he met the driver, but he felt a little ashamed.

There were quite a few people holding similar views. Before Wang Can finished speaking, some people in the crowd laughed softly.

Wang Can turned his head to look, his eyebrows raised slightly. "Gongsi, do you find it ridiculous?"

A young scholar stood out from the crowd and bowed his hands in salute. "Brother Zhongxuan is serious. I don't mean to make fun of it. I just didn't expect the emperor to be so sharp and direct in his speech, and his eloquence is very good."

Wang Can shook his head. "The son of heaven's eloquence is indeed excellent, but if you only see eloquence, you will feel like buying a box for a pearl."

The young man bowed his hand again. "I also ask Zhongxuan to correct me."

Wang Can looked around. "Although the Son of Heaven is talented in eloquence, he is not good at eloquence, let alone arguing with his subordinates for a while, unless necessary." He stopped, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. "As far as I know, there are only two of them. Besides Qin Jun in front of you, they are Situ's son, Hanyang prefect Yang Xiu and Yang Dezu."

When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces froze immediately.

Most of them knew who Yang Xiu was.Not only was he born noble, but he was also the youngest prefect right now.When he became the prefect of Hanyang, he was not yet 20 years old, but he managed Hanyang in an orderly manner, which was almost the benchmark of more than 100 counties in the Han Dynasty.

Wang Can put Qin Mi and Yang Xiu side by side, what is so special about Qin Mi?

"It is said that the emperor asked Yang Dezu a question: After the collapse of Qin Dynasty, the children of the six countries rose together. Why did the emperor Gao not the children of the six countries win the world? If you understand this truth, you will know which direction the big man should go Go. If you are interested, you might as well think about this question and see if there is a better answer."

Wang Can turned to look at Qin Mi. "As for the question and answer between the Son of Heaven and Lord Qin, the subtlety lies not in his speech or eloquence, but in the Son of Heaven's expectation of Lord Qin. Those are four words..."

He raised his hand and raised a finger every time he said a word. "The unity of knowledge and action."

"The unity of knowledge and action?" The young scholar facing Wang Can and Qin Mi showed doubts.
