I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Liu Tan frowned slightly when he saw the last sentence. Although the first three sentences seemed obscure, there was nothing wrong with reading them carefully. However, the fourth sentence was full of blood, and it was unclear at first glance.

When will the mountains and rivers be stained with blood?Naturally, it is time to fight.

The first sentence refers to the northern border, the last sentence implies war, and there is a Qiang flute in the middle to imply foreigners.

Liu Tan thoughtfully tapped the piece of paper and asked, "What does the Prime Minister think?"

Huo Guang said very bluntly: "This nursery rhyme seems to imply that His Highness has disobedience."

Liu Tan paused and looked at him with horror on his face: "What?"

Huo Guang was a little surprised: "Your Highness didn't see it?"

Liu Tan said: "I thought this ballad was about the grievances between us and the Huns, implying that I couldn't stop the Huns' iron cavalry, so it turned into my disobedience again?"

Huo Guang was silent for a while before he said: "This ballad alludes to two people, Yun Jie refers to His Highness, and Qiang Di should refer to King Wusun."

Liu Tan lowered his head and glanced again, and gradually understood what Huo Guang meant. The cloud steps descended to the world. Thousands of miles away may mean that this place is located in a remote mountain high and the emperor is far away, and no one has discovered the secret accumulation of power.

There seems to be no problem with this understanding, but Liu Tan feels that there is nothing wrong with his understanding.

In the final analysis, the directionality of this ballad is not so clear.

Liu Tan narrowed his eyes and said, "This ballad is so cryptic that the common people may not understand it at all. What is the purpose of the people spreading it?"

Ballads generally tend to be more straightforward when they want to spread, but most of this song is alluding, even he and Huo Guang have to analyze word by word, ordinary people who will analyze word by word with you?

Huo Guang thought for a while and said, "I think... this ballad seems incomplete."

Liu Tan looked up at him: "You mean there is still a second half?"

Huo Guang said: "The front is all foreshadowing. You may not pay much attention to the front, but you will definitely think about the last sentence. If there is a second half, it may be a supplement to this part."

Liu Tan thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Why are we analyzing this? Since this ballad has malicious intentions, the dissemination of it is directly prohibited, and by the way, we can find the source of the dissemination and arrest the people. Just ask the purpose?"

They don't have to think too much about the meaning of the song itself.

Huo Guang said: "The minister has already sent people to investigate, but the source of the song seems to come from the refugee city, and there are mixed fish and dragons, so it is difficult to find clues."

Liu Tan lowered his eyes and said, "Then wait until the second half of Que comes out. If the second half of Que wants to spread the word, he must have a head? Watch carefully."

Huo Guang immediately said, "Yes."

In fact, Liu Tan didn't take this matter very seriously, but when Huo Guang came to find him, he was writing a memorial in his hand, which was a memorial to apply for additional troops.

This was ordered by Liu Che before, asking him to add more soldiers, mainly for the harmony and stability of Guanshi, and of course, more importantly, because the mentally ill Wushilu has been leading people around here, whether it is Liu Che or Liu Tan. Both of them felt a little uneasy.

It's just that such a song came out now, which made Liu Tan somewhat hesitant.

The number of his guards already exceeded the limit. Unless the elite regiments were removed from the palace and put into the imperial establishment from now on, it would be too easy to be afraid of adding more troops.

Liu Tan thought for a while. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the elite regiment, but he felt that large-scale troop training was not easy, especially after most of the soldiers in the northern border country turned into professional soldiers, the corresponding treasury expenditure would increase considerably. Less, especially the money spent on training.

Now the Northern Kingdom has just breathed a sigh of relief, because Liu Tan has built a workshop and started buying a large amount of soybeans, the treasury of the Northern Kingdom is a little looser. After all, Liu Tan has to pay taxes for selling those things.

Liu Tan scratched on the paper for a while, and then simply said to Huo Guang: "If there is nothing serious recently, let's start disarming the army."

Huo Guang was slightly startled: "Disarmament? Why disarmament?"

Since Wushilu often brings people over, it is too late for them to increase their troops. His Royal Highness still wants to reduce the army?

Liu Tan said: "I want to merge the elite regiment into the northern national army, and then retrain a batch, so it's not a large-scale disarmament. Now the elite regiment has always maintained 1000 people, and basically every period in the future It is this amount, and it is enough to carry out irregular disarmament according to this amount."

After hearing this, Huo Guang said helplessly, "What about His Highness's own guards?"

Doing it like this is equivalent to Liu Tan using his own money to train soldiers for the Northern Kingdom. Of course, Huo Guang doesn't think it's a big deal. Although the military power is now in the hands of Wei Buyi, Wei Buyi still listens to Liu Tan?

In terms of military affairs, Wei Buyi doesn't even listen to Huo Guang's words, but he will definitely listen to the King of the North.

And the group of people trained from the palace are naturally loyal to the king of the northern border, so even if the establishment is changed, it is just a change of name. All military power is firmly in Liu Tan's hands.

Is this the purpose of their Highness?Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan thoughtfully, but quickly denied this idea - it wasn't that he looked down on Liu Tan, if Liu Tan had such scheming, he wouldn't have to worry about it every day.

Liu Tan really didn't think that far, just said: "I have always had guards, don't I recruit people every year?"

Huo Guang was helpless: "So the guards around His Highness are recruits every year, how can this work?"

Liu Tan laughed and said, "What's wrong with the recruits? After two or three months of training, the recruits are much better than before."

Huo Guang faintly sensed what Liu Tan was thinking again, and simply asked, "Is Your Highness worried that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Liu Tan's face darkened: "Is there any need to guess? It's not about taking the opportunity to make trouble, they just want to make trouble. It's hard to say what will be attracted to my memorial."

He didn't forget that there was another Liu Quyu in Chang'an who was eyeing him, waiting for him to make a mistake so that he could be pulled down when the time came.

In fact, both Liu Che and Liu Shi were partial to him, otherwise the things Liu Tan did could easily be referenced in a book, and there was no way to refute them.

But then again, if it wasn't for Liu Che and Liu Ju's connivance, according to Liu Tan's character, he would have already run to the side and nested at this moment, and it would be impossible to do so many things.

After Liu Tan finished speaking, he directly set the unfinished memorial in his hand on fire.

Huo Guang didn't stop him. As a favored prince, some privileges are a good thing, but too many are inappropriate.

Now he no longer doubts whether Liu Tan is doing these things to compete with Liu Ju, but the power of the princes is not comparable to that of the Prince of Dalian, so it is not a good thing after all.

After the burning, Liu Tan said very relaxedly: "That's it. It's not a lot to disarm 1000 people a year, and they will be replaced slowly. It is tentatively scheduled to recruit troops after the autumn harvest every year. At the same time, the disarmament process will be carried out. Let the laid-off people go, and then replace the people from me, by the way, let’s start with the surrendered city.”

Huo Guang took a look at Liu Tan and knew that he set the date after the autumn harvest so that the common people could still have a labor force to take care of the autumn harvest. What’s more, it would be winter some time after the autumn harvest. Suffering can be regarded as giving them a chance to survive.

Thinking of this, Huo Guang couldn't help but said: "If Your Highness does this, it's better to lower the standard of conscription."

Liu Tan said helplessly: "I know. It was different before. At that time, I thought that there were only 1000 people around me. Of course, it would be more or less the same, but now it is considered a large-scale conscription. I will discuss with Wei Buyi to see how to reduce the number of soldiers." standard."

Huo Guang didn't say anything else. Although the prime minister's status was detached, he would not have said anything about military power if Liu Tan hadn't taken the initiative to discuss it with him.

After Liu Tan burned the memorials, he began to deal with other matters. However, their country minister was too capable, and there were not many things that needed him to deal with, and among them was the matter of the refugee city.

Because of his compassion at the time, he directly built capsule apartments for the refugees. Oh, of course, it is naturally not called a capsule apartment among the common people now, they call it a bird's nest.

No matter what it is, although this house is small, it is a place that can shelter from wind and rain after all, and it is even better than the original homes of many people.

That's why many refugees today don't plan to leave at all - why should they?Life here is good and close to the capital, there are many job opportunities, many refugees earn a lot of wages, life is much better than before.

So because of the large number of people, a small market town gradually formed there, so the name there also changed from a refugee camp to a refugee city.

It seems that everything is going in a good direction, but there are too many hidden problems. The most important point is household registration. How can refugees bring everything with them?These days, there is no electronic system that can be checked at any time, so the refugee city and its people are mixed, and the management is not particularly strict.

Liu Tan admits that it was his own negligence. Originally, he meant that the refugee city was used there to accommodate refugees. After all, there may be various disasters every year. Now that the conditions in Shuofang City are good, those refugees will naturally come this way.

At the beginning, Liu Tan thought that after the disaster was over, the refugees would go back to rebuild their homes, so the refugee camp would be empty to wait for the next wave.

In the end, who would have thought that so many people would simply not leave?

No one paid much attention to such a temporary town, but since it has formed a large scale and is not far from Shuofang City, then Liu Tan will deal with it ruthlessly. In the process, he might be able to find the A person who spreads rumors indiscriminately.

After Liu Tan gave orders to Jiang Chong and Wei Buyi respectively, he checked the time and got up to go find his father.

Although it is still early for lunch time, the distance between the royal palace and the Longevity Palace is also very far.

After Liu Tan simply ran over on horseback, he saw Lu Xuan come out to meet Liu Che before he saw Liu Che.

Liu Tan was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Lu Xuan said with a smile: "Wait for you."

Liu Tan was helpless: "I'll go see my father first."

Lu Xuan reminded: "Be careful, Your Majesty seems to be in a bad mood."
