Han Dao world

Practical learning requires a lot of practice and experimentation, and it costs a lot of money, but he has no money now.

It is unrealistic to want to become a fat man with one bite. The most sensible choice is to choose the most urgent and most valuable technology to research first, so that everyone can see tangible benefits.

For example, the study of metal smelting is stimulated by the success of armored cavalry, and the work enthusiasm of iron officials is particularly high.

For example, medicine, curing diseases and saving lives, saving lives and healing wounded, is a practical technology that can be used every day.

Another example is building bridges and paving roads. With the temptation of Qianhuhou, many people have a strong interest in mechanical techniques, and some people have even begun to try to build roads and bridges in places with relatively low requirements.

Of course, practice alone is not enough, it also requires theoretical guidance and the ability to extract theory from practice.

These are not something ordinary people can do, and require a certain amount of knowledge reserves, and even talent.

The ability to read and write is the most basic, otherwise, even if theories and principles are extracted, it will be difficult to spread them.

With nothing to do, Liu Xie discussed with Cai Yan, Pei Jun and others, asking all departments to write their research results into articles, communicate, discuss, and even argue with each other.

One advantage of practical learning is that you are not afraid of arguments.

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk.

Can you do it? Let the results speak, not who has the highest status and the loudest voice.

In a few days, they drew up a preliminary charter.

After verification by Ji Zhen, Hua Tuo, and dozens of imperial physicians, Liu Xie's conjecture was confirmed, and those businessmen from the Western Regions were indeed infected with the plague.

But Jizhen's judgment is also valid. The epidemic did not spread. Only one of Anthony's followers got sick, and he recovered soon.

After careful questioning, I found out that Anthony and the others had been ill before, but they didn't know it was a plague, and thought it was a cold, so they just took some medicine and it would be fine.

It has to be said that those who can survive in this era are the strong, especially profiteers like Anthony who run around the world.

Anyone with poor physical fitness will die in a foreign land.

Even so, Liu Xie still dare not take it lightly.

He asked Ji Zhen and Hua Tuo to summarize their previous anti-epidemic experience, collect relevant information from the Xianbei and Huns, and make a plan.After all, the climate, water and soil in northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains are different, and the situation of the epidemic may also change.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned Pei Qian, who was preparing to build the Xihe Iron Officer, and discussed with him the summary and improvement of the previous iron and steel smelting experience, and conducted experiments within a certain range, trying new steelmaking methods, improving quality, Increase productivity.

Because of his previous achievements, Pei Qian had just been conferred the title of Marquis of Ting, and he was very enthusiastic about his work, so he readily agreed.

He also said that the existing craftsmen are experienced, but most of them are illiterate and old, so it is not easy to teach them.And a little conservative, habitually relying on skills to cherish oneself, unwilling to communicate with others.A group of half-grown children should be selected to enter the workshop, and learn skills while reading and practicing calligraphy. After three to five years, they will become the new force of the workshop.

At that time, whether it is researching new technologies or expanding production capacity, it will be much easier.

Liu Xie felt that it was reasonable, and approved Pei Qian's suggestion, and then transferred Pei Qian to be the Prime Minister of Jinwu and concurrently the order of the Xihe Arsenal.

Zhijinwu is still in vain, and Pei Qian, the Zhijinwu prime minister, is actually the Zhijinwu who is in the reserve, and he is only one step away from the position of Jiuqing.

Pei Qian was very satisfied, even a little grateful.

His father, Pei Mao, was middle-aged before he joined the Shang Shuling, and now he seized the opportunity to become the prefect of Xihe with two thousand shi.He was young and weak, but because of his meritorious service in presiding over the iron official, he was promoted to a noble rank, and he was on par with Pei Mao.

He even sealed the Marquis before Pei Mao.

Liu Xie is also very satisfied.

Pei Qian's strength is not in technology, but in management. His technical potential has almost been tapped, but his management potential has not been truly released.

He just wanted to show others through Pei Qian that technology is not a cheap job, and management by technology is also a feasible path to official career, and it is even a more convenient path than passing through economics and becoming an official.

Compared with the ideal of philosophers governing the country, engineers governing the country are more reliable.

-

After a false alarm, Liu Xie received some good news.

One is that Chen Gong and Chen Rong successfully rescued Zang Hong.Accompanied by Chen Rong, Zang Hong was on his way to Meiji.

One is that Cao Cao sent his eldest son, Cao Ang, to the court and officially proclaimed himself a minister to the court.

One is that Sun Ce accepted the imperial court's worship and became the prefect of Kuaiji.He expressed his gratitude, sent people to contribute, and sent the square things.

Of course, all good news is imperfect.

Zang Hong was rescued, but Dong Wuyang fell into Yuan Shao's hands.Yuan Shao didn't intend to stop the army either, he would cross the river with a high probability and take the four counties of Yanyu, Qing and Xu directly.

Cao Cao professed his minister and sent him a pledge, but he also made a request, hoping that the court would provide him with arms and war horses to help him recover the entire Yanzhou.

Recovering Yanzhou is obviously a big talk and bragging. Facing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao can defend the two counties of Yingchuan and Chenliu.

Sun Ce accepted the imperial court's offer of worship, but Zhou Yu declined the imperial court's call-up, and just wrote a letter of thanks.

Liu Xie spread out the map and deduced the situation in the Kanto with Jia Xu, Xun You and others.

In addition to the few princes already known, there are still a few whose attitudes are unknown.

Xuzhou shepherd Liu Bei, Yangzhou shepherd Yuan Shu, Jingzhou shepherd Liu Biao, Yizhou shepherd Liu Zhang.

Among the four state shepherds who refused to submit to the court, three were surnamed Liu, and two of them were genuine clans, which really left Liu Xie speechless.

These unfilial children and grandchildren.

Speechless though speechless, but not angry, as calm as ever.

Jia Xu and Xun You saw it and smiled knowingly.

The emperor's palace is getting deeper and deeper, and he usually looks frivolous, but when it comes to business, he is moody and angry.

"You two, what suggestions do you have?" Liu Xie gently pushed the map forward, leaned on the table, straightened his sore legs, thumped it, and sat cross-legged.

People in the Central Plains are used to sitting on their knees, and people on the grasslands are used to sitting cross-legged. Anyway, they can't sit high, which is a heavy burden on their legs.

The lesser of two evils, cross-legged sitting is slightly better, especially Liu Xie is practicing sitting and forgetting recently.

Jia Xu remained silent, seemingly in a daze.

Xun You bowed slightly. "I think that Your Majesty might as well just sit back and watch the changes, and stabilize Bingliang first. If you have spare capacity, send envoys to Youzhou, especially Liaodong."

"How to run Bingliang?"

"Garrify the fields and plant the valleys, rest with the people. Reopen the trade routes, enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu nodded in agreement. "If the roots are solid, the branches will flourish, and if the roots are deep, the leaves will flourish. The ministers seconded."

Liu Xie was a little unhappy. "Can you elaborate?"

Jia Xu was silent again, Xun You smiled and took over the topic. "Your Majesty is worried about insufficient household registration?"

Liu Xie was noncommittal.He was indeed worried about insufficient hukou, but when he mentioned insufficient hukou, Jia Xu would propose to move to Liangzhou and enter Guanzhong with Liangzhou hukou to enrich Guanzhong.It's not that he doesn't want Jia Xu to get what he wants, but Liangzhou's household registration is small, and a large number of people move into Guanzhong, which will inevitably make Liangzhou unsustainable.

"Your Majesty, the people are looking for advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and go to safety in danger. When they left Guanzhong and Hedong, it was because of the war. Now that Guanzhong and Hedong are stable, and the war in Guandong is about to start, isn't it clear where they will go?"

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "You mean, Yuan Shao can't decide what to say?"

"Is his false edict more honorable than His Majesty's edict?" Xun You laughed silently. "Besides, I heard that he no longer dares to brag about himself in the imperial edict. How can he be weak without a battle for a long time?"

Chapter 383

Knowing that Yuan Shao no longer acted unscrupulously with the edict, Liu Xie was a little relieved.

This shows that his efforts have paid off, Yuan Shao felt the pressure, and no longer felt that the world was at his fingertips.

With Yuan Shao like this, it is naturally more likely that other people will turn to the imperial court.In the near future, not only warriors like Zhao Yun will join the army, but also more and more scholars.

Of course, one cannot expect too much from the latter.

Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, he was also worshiped by scholars all over the world, just like a saint reborn.Once they found that Wang Mang could not meet their demands, these people immediately turned their faces.

Except for a very small number of people who are willing to sacrifice for their ideals, the vast majority of people study are still driven by interests.Once the interests fail, the ideal is worthless.

There is nothing wrong with people's pursuit of interests, but when they think of interests in their hearts, they shout ideals and pretend to be righteous, which is hypocritical.

Speaking of hypocrites, Liu Xie immediately thought of Yuan Shu, a real villain who is rare in this era.

He remembered that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in the second year of Jian'an.Strictly speaking, it is not to be called the emperor, but to be called the Zhong family.

Zhong is the second of the line, and the Zhong family calls themselves the second child.Who the boss is has been debated.

But it is a fact that Yuan Shu no longer has the imperial court returning east in embarrassment.

Now that he first killed Li Jue in Huayin, and then defeated Xianbei in Northern Xinjiang, does Yuan Shu still dare to turn his back on the imperial court and regard himself as the Zhong family?

"How did Yuan Shu react?"

"It's not known yet." Xun You laughed with a little disdain. "Yuan Shu's dude, you don't need to worry about it. The only ones under his command who can fight are the Sun family and his son. Now that Sun Ce is worshiped by the court, he has lost his strong support, and he is helpless.

Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "Is it possible for Yuan Shu to become a minister?"

Yang Xiu's heart moved, he secretly took a look at Liu Xie, and hesitated to speak.

Xun You's eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty wants Yuan Shu to fight Yuan Shao?"

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth twitched, and his brows frowned slightly. "The Yuan family's four generations and three princes were also important officials of the imperial court. It is also sad to suffer from Dong Zhuo's difficulties. If Yuan Shu can be called a minister, it is not impossible to inherit the Yuan family's blood."

He paused, and then said: "In terms of concubines, Yuan Shu is more suitable than Yuan Shao after all."

Xun You suppressed a smile.

This is not sympathy for the Yuan family, this is clearly an arrogance.Everyone in the world knows that Yuan Shu's only advantage is his son-in-law, but he attaches great importance to this, and has a grudge against Yuan Shao.

With the support of the imperial court, why didn't he slap Yuan Shao's face desperately?

It has to be said that this is a good way to divide the Yuan family and intensify conflicts.

"I think it's feasible," Xun You said.

This is indeed a good idea, there is no reason to refuse.

What's more, Yuan Shu's nephew Yang Xiu was still on the sidelines, so there was no reason not to give Hongnong Yang a face.

Jia Xu also agreed.This method is beneficial and cost-effective, but it can buy a lot of time for the court.

Seeing that both Jia Xu and Xun You nodded, Yang Xiu got up to speak. "The Master said: Prosper and destroy the country, follow the peerless world, lift up the rest of the people, and the people of the world will return to their hearts. Your Majesty's move, forgetting the mistakes and remembering the merits, is sincerely the benevolence of a wise king, and will surely win the hearts of the people in the Guandong."

Liu Xie smiled. "Since all the lords agree, then take back an edict and order Chen Gong to go to Shouchun. Dezu, you might as well send your greetings in writing, so that Yuan Shu can know my intentions."

There are two paths between public and private, we must let Yuan Shu know that if this fails, it is not because the imperial court is trying to kill them all, but because Yuan Shao is obstructing it.

Liu Xie can't guarantee whether Chen Gong's mission to Jizhou will make Yuan Shao stop his troops.But Liu Xie was still mentally prepared when Chen Gong and Yuan Shao met and even exchanged information.When this recovered edict was passed to Chen Gong, it was equivalent to being passed to Yuan Shao's ears.

Will Yuan Shao strike first and kill Yuan Shu directly?

All in all, it is impossible for the two brothers to reconcile.If Yuan Shao wanted to unify the Kanto region, he had to defeat Yuan Shu first.

Yang Xiu bowed to accept the order.

Xun You and Jia Xu inadvertently exchanged glances, feeling a little complicated.

The emperor's method is getting better and better.In the near future, perhaps they will not need to make suggestions.

After discussing Yuan Shao's matter, Liu Xie immediately talked about Cao Cao's matter.

Yuan Shao is about to go south to Yanzhou. Cao Cao's strength is limited, and he may not be Yuan Shao's opponent.No matter which way you look at it, the imperial court cannot remain indifferent and sit back and watch Yuan Shao defeat Cao Cao, take all Yanzhou, and point at Luoyang.

After some discussion, Xun You suggested meeting Cao Cao's request and giving him weapons and horses so that he could fight Yuan Shao.

The imperial court has only these.

Considering that Cao Cao actually only has the counties of Yingchuan and Chenliu in his hands, Liu Xie decided to wait for Cao Ang and others to arrive at the court, and then worship Xiahoudun or Xiahouyuan as Henan Yin, and include Henan into Cao Cao's theater of operations, so that Cao Cao has a greater advantage. Space.

If Cao Cao persisted for one more day, Yuan Shao's pace of annexing Kanto would be one step slower.

Just like Zang Hong sticking to Dongwuyang, making it difficult for Yuan Shao to move an inch.

All in all, Yuan Shao must not be allowed to live comfortably and go smoothly.

In the end, Liu Xie decided to give Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei an edict to conscript him into the court.

If Liu Bei is willing to come, everyone will be happy.If Liu Bei refuses to come, he has tried his best.

With Liu Bei's strength, it is difficult for him to make a difference in Xuzhou, but he is just a puppet of the Xuzhou clan.The Xuzhou clan wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao, but Liu Bei couldn't stop it.

-

After talking about the business, Liu Xie stayed for dinner, and finally invited Jia Xu to go for a walk to digest food, and Cai Yan, Pei Jun and others were not even brought along.

Seeing this situation, Jia Xu knew in his heart that the emperor had something extraordinary to say.

The two of them walked a hundred steps along the river bank, chatted some irrelevant gossip, and adjusted the atmosphere to a relaxed state.

"Sir, I have two ideas now, and I don't know which one is better. Can you help me, sir?"
