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

Liu Tan deeply felt that this group of candidates was really troubled. They were stuck in the palace examination before and could not continue. Now that he finally came back, the palace examination was about to be held, and it had to be postponed.

Although Liu Tan didn't intend to really give the top three to these Huns even if the palace examination was held, he still had to show his attitude.

Fortunately, the date of the Palace Examination has not been confirmed yet, it is just for those candidates to prepare well.

After discussing these things, Huo Guang changed the subject: "How did Your Highness meet such a person?"

Liu Tan: ...

How does this make him say, should he say that it is rare for him to skip work once and then be caught back to work overtime again?

It's really embarrassing to think about it.

Huo Guang saw that His Royal Highness was listless, looking hopeless, he couldn't help but said: "The sky is bright, Your Highness, why don't you find a day to go out and relax."

Huo Guang told Liu Tan what to do with the paperwork in his hand now. Simply put, all the urgent ones have been dealt with, and the rest are all sooner or later. In this case, it’s better to let his highness go out to play .

Otherwise, what if His Royal Highness gets bored in the palace and comes up with something new?

Even if His Royal Highness can make the invisible national power of the Northern Borderland to a higher level every time they come up with new things, it really makes them worry. Now the Northern Border Country doesn't need so many things, as long as it can stabilize the current The basic disk, and then expand the business with other regions.

Liu Tan is no longer interested in going out to play at this time, forget it, anyway, his palace is big enough, and he can definitely do other things.

He thought for a while and said, "Send me the summaries of the counties last year, oh, and their planning documents for this year."

Huo Guang was relieved when he heard that, that's fine, it's okay to torment those county guards, as long as you don't torment the common people, you can do whatever you like.

In fact, it wasn't that Liu Tan wanted to torment the county guards, but that he discovered that under the current situation, all the counties actually had a way out.

Oh, except that Yanmen County is not so good at the border, but Yanmen County also has its own advantages.

Liu Tan remembered that there were actually iron mines over there, and the storage capacity was not small, but... Liu Tan didn't dare to ask people to find out. It was really possible that the Huns could plunder that place at any time, and Liu Tan still dare not say that it will definitely happen. Can defend Yanmen County.

It is precisely because the economic conditions of these counties are improving that Liu Tan decided to start urging them to engage in infrastructure construction.

It is said that the economic base determines the superstructure, but now in Liu Tan's case, it is basically the infrastructure that determines the superstructure.

The first is the planning of the county town. The most important part of this planning is the road planning. Nowadays, the proportion of cement roads in other counties except Shuofang County is too low. He only required that the official roads must be official roads, and let the county guards see the rest of the roads. do it.

As a result, these county guards didn't know whether they were poor or afraid, and they refused to build roads. Kou Zhengda, the governor of Dunhuang County, was more courageous, and he was very active in road repairs. From entering Dunhuang to the county town and then To Tongda City, all the way to the mutual market.

In addition to these main cities, there are also some other places that have been repaired very quickly, such as the side of the bean product workshop.

Looking at the various development data of Dunhuang, Liu Tan couldn't help saying with emotion: "If my subordinates are all people like Kou Zhengda, I should be more relieved."

Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Your Majesty must also feel that if all the officials in the world are like Ah Tan, he will be very relieved."

Liu Tan was shocked: "This is not possible, the big man is probably going to die."

Lu Xuan couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, deeply feeling that his Ah Tan really had self-knowledge.

After reading all the data, Liu Tan began to think about it. Now he regrets why he didn't study current affairs and politics well. Now he doesn't know whether to build infrastructure or help the poor first.

But think about it, many problems now are caused by inconvenient transportation. If the transportation is convenient, it will play a certain role in the local economy.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

Liu Tan decided to give them a hard target, to what extent road construction must be achieved every year, and in order to support them, the imperial court can provide some financial subsidies.

Of course, if you want a subsidy, you have to apply for it with the results first, and don't take a short loan.

When Liu Tan was writing this plan, he suddenly thought of the things that later generations often encounter good roads and build roads from time to time. I don’t know...whether it is the same as his current situation.

We must know that the northern border country is big and big, but there are not many places that are actually inhabited, so I think it can still be supervised in place. In the case of future generations... Even if the higher-ups want to supervise, they will not be able to stop people from stealing and cheating.

Liu Tan had written the plan for several days, and it was so detailed that Huo Guang couldn't help but light the wax for those county guards after reading it.

However, Liu's talk was timed very well, just as he finished the proposal and threw it to Huo Guang for evaluation, and the results of the local and general examinations for the Huns over there also came out.

In the end, Keminghan was the only Hun descendant who was able to successfully enter the palace examination.

After Liu Tan saw this result, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, thinking that it's no wonder Ke Minghan was so persistent in asking for an explanation, he had confidence in him.

Liu Tan became very interested in this person, and couldn't help but read all his papers.

After reading it, he had deep doubts. Is this man really a Hun?

How did you learn so well?

This level is no worse than that of Lu Xuan. You must know that although it is difficult for Lu Xuan to say it now, it is also relative. At least he was much better than most people in terms of material life at that time.

Therefore, the education Lu Xuan received was better than many others, and he had access to more books when he became a big man, so the knowledge he has today is the result of his own hard work, and it is also the result of his learning with the conditions .

As for this Keminghan, it is very strange. No matter how talented he is, it is not so easy to accumulate allusions.

Liu Tan was skeptical and couldn't help asking someone to check Zha Keminghan's resume.

It turned out that this person’s family background was not very good. In their tribe, he was also born as a slave, but he was lucky. Work hard and work hard, and later become a good citizen of the northern border country.

After becoming good citizens, because this group of Huns were released by Liu Tan to plant salt trees, these salt trees grew a lot of Cistanche, the court collected part of the tax, and the rest was their income, so the family conditions of their family gradually getting better.

His father was more far-sighted, and after discovering that the king of the North especially valued scholars, he sent all the children to school directly.

Liu Tan looked at the place where they went to school. In fact, the so-called school was nothing more than some down-and-out scholars who had no source of income and were invited by the Huns to teach the children of the Huns.

Originally, the Huns just wanted to better integrate into the big man. After all, it was impossible for them to return to the Huns. No one wanted to be a second-class citizen.

Even if the court's attitude is very good under the influence of the King of the North, it doesn't mean that they won't encounter all kinds of discrimination in their lives.

But reading books is different, even the Huns will be looked at highly by those who have never read books.

Liu Tan glanced at Ke Minghan's resume from beginning to end, and knew that he was the most outstanding among all the children because of his intelligence. Not to mention the whole family, even the hope of the entire tribe was placed on him-what slaves are not slaves, Now in the northern border country, they are all descendants of the Xiongnu who share the same disease.

Under such circumstances, Ke Minghan had always aimed to participate in the imperial examination, but he was suddenly not allowed to participate, so he was naturally dissatisfied.

On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it, but Liu Tan said after reading it: "This person has a problem."

While talking, he handed the document to Lu Xuan. After reading it, Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows: "If that down-and-out scholar can really teach such a disciple, his level is definitely high enough. How could he be so down-and-out?"

If it were in other places, they would still be underappreciated because of their personality.

However, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen in the northern border country. Liu Tan has a high tolerance for talents. As long as he does not bully men and women to break the law and discipline, even if he is not so polite to Liu Tan, Liu Tan can bear it.

And why didn't this down-and-out scholar take part in the imperial examination?This is the second imperial examination for the Northern Kingdom, and if he really wants to, he can take it for the first time.

Lu Xuan put it down and said: "This person also has a problem, let's check it out."

This investigation really found out the problem. It is true that this so-called down-and-out scholar is Han, but unfortunately he is a traitor.

Oh, maybe he was wronged to say that he is a traitor, after all, his mother is a decent Hun and a princess of a certain tribe.

I have to say that when Liu Tan saw the so-called princess of a certain tribe, his eyes rolled to the sky—the princess of the Huns is really worthless.

This down-and-out scholar is basically a leader. Liu Tan doesn't know if all the students taught by this person have problems in thinking, but when he knows that Ke Minghan respects this teacher very much, he knows that this person can be carried away. up.

Lu Xuan hit the nail on the head: "With Ke Minghan's level of study, it's impossible to say that he doesn't have other people's support behind him."

Books are more precious than paper. Liu Tan has always wanted to build a library in the academy, but it has not been done until now. It is not because the matter of collecting books is very slow.

It's so difficult for him, where did that down-and-out scholar learn it?Where are there so many books?

Liu Tan directly ordered people to take the down-and-out scholar away, but in order not to startle the enemy, he asked someone to cover it up. It would be better for people to think that this person left by himself or disappeared suddenly.

However, the sudden disappearance easily aroused Ke Minghan's vigilance, and in the end Liu Tan went directly to the Embroidered Clothes Emissary—these people are more professional in this regard.

The embroidered clothes envoys are also used to it. When doing things here, they always feel that they are not the eyes and ears sent by the emperor, but sent by the emperor to help his son.

It has to be said that the embroidered clothes messenger had two brushes after all, and they directly let that person "dead".

Of course, the person was still alive, but he faked a death scene. The cause of death was walking at night on a rainy day, and then accidentally slipped into a nearby ditch and drowned.

After Liu Tan knew about this series of operations, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you find the corpse?"

The embroidered clothes envoy said: "I went to Tingwei to look for it, and I brought a person of similar height and appearance from the death row."

Liu Tan was surprised: "This one is easy to find, but what about the face? It looks different."

The embroidered messenger smiled and said: "Your Highness, after soaking in the water overnight, that face has long been deformed. I guess no one took a serious look at it, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to see it."

Liu Tan: ...

It feels like I have learned a useless knowledge.

The embroidered clothes envoy did everything neatly. Liu Tan sent people to observe Ke Minghan for a long time, and Ke Minghan behaved as usual. After hearing that the teacher died, he couldn't believe it at first, and then asked for leave to go back to the funeral - he and that person have the name of master and apprentice , there is nothing wrong with such an attitude.

Keminghan was also careful and checked carefully. However, as the embroidered clothes messenger said, the body had been soaked in the water for one night, and several days passed after Keminghan returned.

In this weather, they didn't have ice to store the corpse, so when Keminghan went to see it, the corpse was basically highly decomposed and nothing could be seen.

Ke Minghan did not doubt that he was there, and came back obediently to prepare for the palace examination.

On the day before the palace examination, Jiang Chong brought the results of the interrogation.

Seeing his cold expression, Liu Tan couldn't help asking, "Did you ask?"

Jiang Chong sneered: "It's just a soft bone, and it will come out naturally with some tricks."

Liu Tan rubbed his temples and said, "I don't want to watch it, just tell me."

Jiang Chong said very succinctly: "This man is a spy sent by Xiaoli Lake."

Liu Tan didn't know what expression to put on when he heard this sentence.

He thought for a long time before asking: "How long has he been in the northern border country?"

Jiang Chong said: "13 years."

13 years... Well, at that time, the Northern Borderlands didn't know where it was, and Liu Tan didn't pass through it, and he was even worried about how to check the plagiarism of the thesis, and couldn't help cursing a certain star as soon as he opened the thesis.

Even the Khan of the Huns at that time was not Wushilu.

Liu Tan frowned and said, "He has been laying the thread for a long time, but it can be regarded as a reminder to us. I will write a memorial to the emperor later."

Jiang Chong froze for a moment: "What?"

Liu Tan took it for granted: "Of course, I want my father to send more embroidered clothes envoys. Professional things should be done by professionals."

Jiang Chong couldn't help coughing lightly and said, "Your Highness, are we also..."

Liu Tan said firmly, "Don't even think about it."

Jiang Chong didn't speak, and Liu Tan was very worried that this guy was acting in a way that he was obedient to. Although he seemed to be honest now, it didn't mean that he was really honest. Liu Tan hadn't forgotten that Jiang Chong was still a rebel reserve.

He wrote a letter to Liu Che without hesitation, and said while writing: "The intelligence agency must be subordinate to the center. Of course, it is possible to divide it into different regions, but it is up to my father to decide who is in charge. It's equivalent to holding the rights of the embroidered clothes envoy in your own hands, and you want to die?"

Jiang Chong responded immediately: "Yes."

He knew that what Liu Tan said was reasonable, but even so, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he thought. Anyway, according to the emperor's care for the king of the north, the king of the north might have to take over.

Liu Tan also knew it in his heart, but this matter... he couldn't do it, at least he had to get Liu Che's authorization.

Otherwise, according to Liu Tan's personality, he might make this intelligence agency better than the Embroidered Cloth Messenger. By then, the strongest intelligence agency of the Han Dynasty will be in the hands of the King of the North. Is it plausible to say so?

After Liu Tan finished writing the letter, he sent it out directly. Of course, the letter also reported good news by the way, telling Liu Che that the wheat and rice had germinated. From the preliminary point of view, when the temperature and humidity are suitable, germination is no problem. of.

As for whether it can bear fruit, we have to continue to observe. By the way, I also attached a copy of the various records of the previous seedling cultivation, so that Chang'an can also try it. According to the climate, Chang'an is more suitable.

Liu Tan even carefully attached a malt and rice seedling to the letter.

Anyway, the messenger ran fast enough, and the two seedlings should still be alive when they arrived in Liu Che's hands.

Liu Tan sent his father a surprise, but unexpectedly his father also sent him a "surprise".
