Straight man of steel

Chapter 314 The Great Reward

Jianzhang Palace Yutang Palace.

"I didn't expect you to make plans so quickly."

Looking at the god-making plan in his hand, Liu Che said with some emotion.

"Your Majesty's account, I don't dare not to think about it wholeheartedly.

Please take a closer look, if there is any problem, I can take it back and change it. "

Zhang Yuan tried his best to be as submissive as possible, probably to see Liu Che as an emperor who could kill people to prevent future troubles.

"I read it, and it's very well written, so there's no need to revise it.

Just how long do you think it will work?It's been too long, and I'm worried that there will be another turmoil in the Southwestern Yi. "

"It can be as long as two years, and as short as half a year. The effect can be seen within half a year. It is estimated that it will take two years to change the stereotypes of the entire Yelang tribe."

Liu Che frowned, a little dissatisfied.

"It's been so long, is there no way to shorten it?"

"What your majesty has done is a thousand-year achievement. What does a year or two mean?"

"Oh, yes."

"There are Generals Sima Zhonglang and Tang Meng Zhonglang in Qianwei County, and there are a total of three thousand troops to suppress Yelang. Why is Your Majesty worried that Yelang will rebel again?"

"Didn't I tell you clearly about Qianwei County yesterday?"

"I don't know."

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the imperial court is going to send some county magistrates and a prefect to Qianwei County.

Suddenly replacing all the local Yelang officials, I am worried that there will be trouble even if a war has just broken out. "

Zhang Yuan did not answer Liu Che directly, but quickly went through feasible options in his mind.

To be honest, the resistance to developing Southwestern Yi is too great, and all Liu Che can do is send a few officials there.

Therefore, basically more than half of the officials in the court are opposed to this thankless thing, which has no benefits except increasing the territory.

Many people think so at the moment, the only one who is different from others is Zhang Yuan.

Different angles of thinking about problems lead to different ideas.

Zhang Yuan knew that the expanded territory of the Han Dynasty basically established the outline of China's territory.

If in the period of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, he could reach the North Sea to the north, Jiaozhi to the south, and the Tianshan Mountain to the Korean Peninsula in the west, he would be almost a great Han in his heyday.

Every time an additional piece of land is occupied in the future, China may have more territory after 2000.

When Chinese people talk about that place, they can proudly say that this place has belonged to China since ancient times.

Territorial expansion is an insult to other nations, but it is the best way to improve the self-confidence of the nation.

Zhang Yuan didn't have the kindness to think about the life and death of other nations. Those things had nothing to do with him. The rise of a great country must be built on the mountain of corpses and blood.

Relying on peaceful diplomacy and one's own development to become strong is nonsense. Status is gained through fighting.

"I feel that Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about these things. You only need to send a man who is decisive and high enough to specialize in troubles to the Southwest Yi, and the Yelang Rebellion can be resolved.

Think about it, Your Majesty, the two men frequently caused rebellion, and tens of thousands of rebels raised up this time, isn't it because Tang Meng Zhonglang will not be able to decide the matter of Qianwei County without authorization.

Qianwei County is far away from Chang'an, and it takes [-] days for news to come and go. If there is a delay on the road, it may take a month.

If His Majesty wants to temporarily suppress Yelang's thieves' heart, he can send a senior official to the Southwest Yi, so that if someone makes trouble, he can wipe out the root cause while it is still in its infancy.

Kill more people, Yelang people are not fools, so they are all honest.

After His Majesty is deified in the eyes of the Yelang people, you will call that person back, and the Yelang people will be grateful to Your Majesty. "

Zhang Yuan's words displeased Liu Che a little. Decentralization of power is what Liu Che hates the most.

But if you want to get a large piece of territory without getting into trouble, this is the only way to do it in an emergency.

"Then who does Taixue Ling think can suppress the southwestern barbarians?"

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, but there really wasn't a good candidate. If other senior officials knew that Zhang Yuan suggested taking them to that place, they might hate Zhang Yuan so much.

"I don't think there is any need to send any officials. Qianwei County wants to appoint a prefect anyway, and General Sima Zhonglang happens to be there.

Your Majesty can appoint Sima Xiangru as the prefect of Jianwei County and take charge of the military and political affairs of Jianwei County.

Firstly, Sima Xiangru is His Majesty's confidant, and His Majesty trusts him, so he will definitely act in His Majesty's interests.

When Sima Xiangru came here, he was from Bashu and was more familiar with the southwestern Yi than others.

Furthermore, Sima Xiangru is a literati, and he may be able to handle the affairs of the Yelang tribe better than some decisive people. "

"I remember that you don't deal with Sima Xiangru very much, why do you want to recommend him?"

The things about Zhang Yuan and Sima Xiangru were all old things, and now Chang'an City didn't mention these things, Zhang Yuan had no grievances in his heart, seeing Liu Che teasing himself, he just felt a little funny.

"External conduct does not avoid personal enmity, internal conduct does not avoid parent-child suspicion.

Although the minister is not a saint, he also knows this truth. What matters in recommending talents is not talent, but suitability.

Your Majesty is unparalleled in the world, but the only one suitable for you is the position of emperor.

Although Sima Xiangru's ability to govern is not as good as some high officials and prefects, but in Qianwei County, he is more suitable than anyone else. "

Liu Che was very satisfied with Zhang Yuan's answer, of course it was because Zhang Yuan flattered himself a bit. Although he even stepped on Sima Xiangru once, Liu Che felt that since there was a gap, it should be like this.

If all the ministers were as close as brothers, Liu Che would be the one having a headache at that time, so it would be better to have an antagonistic relationship.

"Hmm, well said.

You go back first, I will consider promoting Sima Xiangru later.

As you said, although his literary talents are good, he can at most be a county magistrate in governing the local area. "

"Your Majesty is wise, that minister will retire first."

Speaking of Zhang Yuan turning around and about to leave, Liu Che suddenly called out to Zhang Yuan.

"Tai Xueling, wait a moment, I forgot to tell you something."

Zhang Yuan turned around immediately.

"The minister is here."

"Currently, official schools are flourishing. Although official schools are still universal at the county level, they exist in every prefecture and princely state in the Han Dynasty.

I don't have the energy to take care of these things. After you go back, draw up a charter and send it to Zhang Ou, the censor doctor. If he thinks there is no problem, let the prime minister's office advertise the world's official schools. "

Zhang Yuan hadn't regained his composure all of a sudden. Just now he was still thinking about helping Liu Che deal with a major matter. Even if he couldn't explain it to outsiders, he still had to reward him with some money.

Just when Liu Che was feeling stingy in his heart, a big gift fell directly on his head.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, are the rules and regulations of the official schools in all counties drawn up by me, including Taixue?"

Liu Che glanced at Zhang Yuan, but he didn't expect Zhang Yuan to be so timid, so he asked to make sure.

"Well, that's right. When the Taixue was first established, I promised you that the Taixue Ling would be in charge of the world's official schools, but you have been timid and timid. It has been almost two years since you did anything big.

Up to now, it is only limited to Taixue, and the scope of influence is only in Du County. To be honest, I am a little disappointed. You have drafted this charter. Once two years come, you are still Taixue. Step back from this position.

I think you are much better than Sima Xiangru as the prefect of Qianwei County. "

Zhang Yuan's scalp was a little numb, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and in the end it was all his own responsibility.

It was said before that all official schools in the world were under the control of the Taixue Order, so Zhang Yuan would have to have the courage to do so.

Now that Liu Che made a promise that could no longer be formalized, he also gave him the task of drafting the rules and regulations. This responsibility finally fell on Zhang Yuan's shoulders.

At a small level, this is just to formulate the rules and regulations of the school. At a large level, it is to set an outline for the entire Han education system and formulate regulations with legal effect for all official schools.

Although it will be handed over to Zhang Ou, the doctor of the censor, for review, but no one knows that Zhang Ou is a good man. When these matters are in his hands, he probably just stamped them without even looking at them.

"I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations. In this life, I will do my best to cultivate inexhaustible talents for the great man and Your Majesty."

Zhang Yuan was quite grateful, and directly knelt on the ground to thank Liu Che.
