Han Dao world

Ke Zui grinned, but it was a bit bitter. "The commander-in-chief is indeed a commander-in-chief. You can tell it at a glance. That's right, in the eyes of the emperor of the Han family, the grassland we are in is probably already a part of Liangzhou."

Ke Bi Neng's eyes widened, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

He wondered if Ke Zui couldn't express clearly, or didn't understand the meaning behind this sentence.

According to Ke Zui, the grassland is part of Liangzhou and the territory of the Han Dynasty. It is not accidental that the wolf riders appeared near Junji Mountain.

What does it mean that the emperor of the Han family asked me to move here?Is he trying to force me to surrender?

"Wait, what did the emperor of the Han family say when he asked me to move west? Tell me again, and you can't miss a single word."

-

The queen's tent is very lively.

Liu Xie sat in the same case as Fu Shou, Zhao Yun, Fu Ya, and Xun Yun sat on the left, and Xun Wenqian, He Shan, Hu Xiu, and Ma Yunlu sat on the right.Mrs. Wei hugged the emperor's eldest son, Liu Tai, and sat behind Xun Wenqian, teasing Liu Tai from time to time.

Lu Xiaohuan was also there, but she refused to sit still, and leaned close to Mrs. Wei, secretly touching Liu Tai's little face, never tired of it.

Knowing that Xun Yun and Fu Ya were worshiped as servants together, Xun Wenqian was in a good mood, her brows were peaceful, and there was no sign of loss.

The hot pot started to boil, Liu Xie raised his chopsticks and greeted: "Everyone, let's eat, don't let down this fresh mutton."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone bowed their hands together, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the thinly sliced ​​mutton in front of them, put it into the hot pot, rinsed it after a few times, picked it up, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in their mouths.

Liu Xie held a chopstick for Fushou. "Try the mutton from Xiu Tuze, it's guaranteed to be no worse than the white sheep from Sheyanze."

Fushou was flattered and got up quickly, but was held down by Liu Xie. "Family banquet, don't be too polite."

Ma Yunlu was a little uneasy, so he secretly glanced at Liu Xie, and then at Zhao Yun who was opposite him. Seeing that Zhao Yun was as if nothing had happened, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and buried his head in his meat.

Liu Xie raised his wine glass again, and said, "Zilong, Yunlu, it's been hard work for you to welcome the queen this time. Come, let's have a drink."

Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu put down their chopsticks and picked up their wine glasses with both hands. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the wine."

"Walking this way, how does it feel?"

Zhao Yun drank the wine and said unhurriedly: "The ministers and others passed through Wuwei and Hanyang counties, and met the Queen's motorcade at Longguan. Along the way, the counties and counties are stable, and the people have their own livelihoods. They all recite the court's favor. .When I heard that the Empress was going on a journey, many people rose up to offer offerings, but the Empress declined."

Ma Yunlu added: "Especially in Hanyang County, the situation is much better than that in Wuwei. When mentioning the prefect Yang Xiu, the people praised him, saying that His Majesty is wise and picked a good prefect for them."

"You didn't say anything bad?" Liu Xie laughed.

Ma Yunlu said: "Naturally there are bad things, but they can't say that the prefect has any specific bad deeds, they can only talk nonsense. Such as military violence, disrespect to wise men, etc., but this year Hanyang has no border police. , Qiu Fang's army strength is only 3000, and it is completely incompatible with military aggression. Those so-called sages are nothing but people with false names."

"Is there any news about Longxi?"

"Yes, it is said that there was heavy snowfall in the mountains, and many Qiang people could not make a living, so they went down the mountain to visit the county, thinking of taking up land in the county. Li Shen, the prefect of Longxi, worried that there was not enough land to accommodate so many people, so he encouraged the Qiang people to go to Hanyang .Hanyang fully accepted it, resettled thousands of households, and did not cause any commotion. I don’t know how the prefect Yang did it. The ministers and others were in a hurry, so they didn’t have time to inquire.”

Liu Xie is very satisfied.He had already heard some rumors about this matter. Hanyang's chief planner had already arrived at Xiutuze, but he had not asked to see him for a long time. He heard that the planner's book was about to be changed, which might be related to the Qiang people's entry into the county to occupy the land.

The increase of household registration is one of the achievements of the prefect. Of course, Yang Xiu should write down his achievements as much as possible.

Ma Teng has been active in Hanyang for many years, and has long regarded Hanyang as his own territory.Ma Yunlu was ordered to meet the queen this time, and he was particularly concerned about the situation in Hanyang, and told a lot about what he had seen and heard.

Later, Xun Yun talked about what he had seen and heard in Guanzhong.

Guanzhong has been very lively recently, mainly because of two things: one is the people from Liangzhou moving in, and the other is saving the fields.Both things can be combined in a way, both for the land.

After Da Sinonong Zhang Yi entered Guanzhong and garrisoned fields in Guanzhong, Situ Zhao Wen was ordered to enter Guanzhong again to preside over the farming.The determination of the imperial court can be seen, which caused a lot of sensation in Guanzhong.

There is a lot of land in Guanzhong, but good fertile land is always scarce, and the conflicts mainly revolve around these fertile land.

"I heard that Cheng Yi, the chief minister of farming, had a conflict with the local rich clan over a piece of fertile land of more than 300 hectares, which caused a lot of trouble, and was dismissed by the chief minister." Xun Yun said, "In a fit of anger, he Stopped Zhao Situ in the street and sued Da Si Nong for dereliction of duty."

"Is there such a thing?" Liu Xie was very surprised, he didn't hear any news.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, it's normal. Such things are usually not reported. This Cheng Yi is not a person who keeps his own position. He was originally Ting Weizheng. For some reason, he was transferred to Da Sinong. Now it is a bit of a jerk to sue Da Sinong in turn. This kind of person has a special name, called the official of the chaos."

Chapter 489

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, and was just about to speak, when he changed his mind, picked up a piece of mutton, rinsed it in the hot pot, dipped it in the sauce, put it in his mouth, and chewed slowly .

Xun Yun is the eldest son of Xun Yu, who has been brought up by his side all the time.His opinion can be regarded as Xun Yu's opinion to some extent.

How does Xun Yu see Cheng Yi?

Liu Xie didn't know Cheng Yi, but he knew that such a person was rare in officialdom.Stopping Situ's car and suing his superiors for some land that is not his own. To put it nicely, this is an idealist. To put it badly, it is an infantile disease.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration for Xun Yun to say that he is a chaotic official.

However, if such a person is a chaotic official, what is the attitude of the non-chaotic people towards Du Tian? Can this Du Tian be carried forward?

What is the attitude of Zhang Yi, the chief farmer who was in charge of farming in Guanzhong before, and what is the attitude of Situ Zhao Wen, who is in charge of farming in Guanzhong now?Cheng Yi didn't report a word about it, presumably they were jointly suppressed by them, and the result can be imagined.

What is Guanzhong doing this year?

For a moment, Liu Xie thought a lot, and felt inexplicably irritable, so he had to eat meat to adjust his mood.

Xun Wenqian has been with Liu Xie for a long time, and has had many exchanges with Liu Xie. She knows Liu Xie's governance philosophy best. When she heard Xun Yun's words, she realized that this was not in line with Liu Xie's ideas.She took a peek at Liu Xie, seeing the slightly sharp eyes under Liu Xie's calm face, she couldn't help sighing secretly.

But she said nothing, just listened quietly.

After Xun Yun finished speaking, Fu Ya politely echoed a few words, then closed his mouth, as if he was an outsider.

Liu Xie saw it in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

This may be exactly what he expected.If Fu Ya was as active as Xun Yun, he would be a little worried.

"Changqian, tell me about Hedong." Liu Xie said, "How has Hedong been recovering in the past two years?"

Speaking of Hedong, Xun Yun became more interested.

He didn't mention Xun Yu's political achievements, which were reported in official documents.He mentioned Liu Bayou's recruitment of officials in the army.

After two years of enlightenment, a large number of people who are proficient in writing and ink and able to handle official documents have emerged among the soldiers in the village.Most of these people came from civilians, and had nothing to do with the Hedong clan, but had some old grievances.Because there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the field as their backing, these people have combat experience themselves, and they are quite like a soldier in doing things, and they will draw their swords and use force if they disagree with each other.

After they became officials, those big clans who watched coldly could no longer keep calm and had to take the initiative to show their favor to Xun Yu and Liu Ba.

"Wouldn't these people be doing harm to the village if they act like this?" Xun Wenqian couldn't help asking.

"No, Liu Zichu is clever. He announced a few rules in advance. The first one is not to bully the people. If you violate it, you will be punished with a stick, and you will be dismissed if you violate it. Anyway, there are many people available, and it is easy to change. The first person in office A group of people don't know the importance, and after most of them are replaced, the latecomers will be more restrained."

Xun Yun took a sip of wine, and said again: "After the soldiers in the field changed their weapons, some weapons were scattered among the people. Almost every household of the people had swords and bows. Apart from practicing martial arts in their spare time, some thieves came to warn them with gongs. As soon as the sound is heard, the neighbors will come to reinforce it. As long as you can hold it for an hour, the nearest field soldiers will arrive. Even if someone wants to exploit the common people, it is difficult to get it, and it is difficult to hide it from others. If it is not done well, it may be possible Lost office."

"What's Xun Yin's attitude towards this?" Liu Xie asked.

"At first, there were some objections, but Liu Zichu was sure, so he let him try it. It was a bit chaotic at first, but now I'm used to it." Xun Yun suddenly smiled. "It's just that Liu Zichu is talented and can win in chaos. Whether other counties can follow suit, I dare not say right now. Before I came, my father said that I planned to use the opportunity of the end of the year to select a few counties to promote."

Liu Xie smiled and did not express his opinion.

He had decided to entrust Xun Yu with full authority in the matter of Hedong, and he didn't want to interfere too much.

But he had to ask about Guanzhong.

Perhaps Liu Ba can be transferred to Guanzhong to flex his muscles.It's just how to operate, but it needs to be considered.

The most urgent task is to find out how much Xun Yun said is fact and how much is hearsay.

-

After the family banquet was over, Liu Xie returned to the imperial tent and sent someone to invite Jia Xu.

There are many Xiliang people in Guanzhong, and one of the purposes of Dutian is to allow Xiliang people to settle in Guanzhong.It is somewhat puzzling that the people of Xiliang swallowed their anger and kept silent after such a big incident happened.

After hearing this, Jia Xu smiled calmly. "The minister has heard a little bit."

"Have you heard of it?" Liu Xie looked at Jia Xu puzzled.

"Well, I also sent a message to Xie Guang and Xia Yu, telling them not to interfere in local government affairs, and to do their own things with peace of mind."

Liu Xie understood.No wonder the people in Xiliang didn't move. It turned out that they were overwhelmed by Jia Xu, the big Buddha, and they didn't dare to mess around.

Seeing Liu Xie's puzzled expression, Jia Xu smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, the Guanzhong is vast and there is a lot of abandoned land. Tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in the fields will not conflict with the local big clan. Li Jue and Guo Si were too indulgent in Guanzhong. , This was the defeat. Yin Jian is not far away, how can Xie Guang and Xia Yu be allowed to repeat the same mistakes. As for Cheng Yi, his intentions may be good, but his methods are too drastic, and it is good to suffer some setbacks."

"According to your opinion, how should we deal with the Guanzhong matter?"

"I thought that His Majesty might wait a little longer."

"Wait until when?"

"Wait until the people in Guanzhong take the initiative to move to Hedong and Hanyang."

Liu Xie was stunned, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Whether it's Zhang Yi or Zhao Wen, these old ministers have no hope, and Xun Yu and Yang Xiu are the hope.Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, let them govern according to their own ideas, and finally let the facts speak.

"Where is Cheng Yi now?"

"I don't know, but it should be fine. It's just dismissal. If your majesty wants to see him, you can send someone to ask him."

Liu Xie thought about it. "It's better to figure out his situation first. It's not advisable to recruit in a hurry, lest those veterans have another idea."

Jia Xu smiled. "Then it's up to the minister to come forward. If it works, the minister hopes that he can be appointed as Gu Zang Ling. I heard that although this person is not familiar with official etiquette, he is a good hand at farming."

Liu Xie agreed, and then said: "Sir, after your students graduate, send some people to Guanzhong first. I can temporarily ignore how those old ministers make troubles, and the army can't be chaotic. Moreover, Liu Ba's administration shows that from garrison fields It is a good way to choose officials from among the soldiers. There are more talents, and there is more room for selection, and you may be able to break free from the shackles of former students and former officials."

"Wei." Jia Xu thought for a while, and then said: "Since the queen has arrived in Xingzai, there is no need for Shao Fu to stay in Hedong. It is better to invite him to set up a lecture hall in Guanzhong and teach the soldiers in the field to read. I estimate that in three to five years time, there will be enough talent available."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu faced it with a smile, taking it easy.

Looking at each other, Liu Xie showed a smile in the corner of his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"can."

Chapter 490 Let It Go

For several days, Liu Xie did not summon Ke Bineng, but asked Xun Yun to come and see Ke Bineng from time to time to understand his needs.

After coming and going, Xun Yun and Ke Bi Neng became acquainted, and they felt like they had forgotten their friendship.

Xun Yun heard a lot about life on the grassland from Ke Bineng, and Ke Bineng also learned a lot about the situation in the Central Plains from Xun Yun. Both sides were surprised by the other's life, which was far from their imagination.

Xun Yun gradually understood what the emperor was waiting for, and also understood what Ke Bineng was afraid of.

wolf rides.

The wolf riders entered the grasslands with the lifestyle of the Xianbei people and wandered around, but they had equipment and training that the Xianbei people could not match.They are stronger than the Xianbei people, they are an invincible opponent for the Xianbei people, and they are also a nightmare for the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people may be able to concentrate their forces and wipe out one or two groups of wolf cavalry, but this will not hurt the Han army at all.The Han army can send more wolf riders into the grassland, so that the Xianbei people can't take care of themselves, continue to bleed, and finally die slowly.

In fact, this is not the first of its kind, Huo Qubing's tactics are a precedent, and the wolf cavalry is just a step forward, using better equipment and training to strengthen combat effectiveness and expand the battle loss ratio.

But this step was enough to make the Xianbei restless.

The two sides have a huge disparity in the number of household registrations, and the Xianbei people simply cannot compete with the Han people, let alone when a wolf rider can be exchanged for dozens or even hundreds of Xianbei people.

Knowing Ke Bineng's inner fear, Xun Yun's attitude changed unconsciously.

"Don't worry, Marshal. The emperor has no plan to kill you." During a chat, Xun Yun said with a smile: "The emperor bestowed a surname, which is a clear proof. As far as I know, this is an unprecedented favor. The Huns are attached to you. I have been a big man for so many years, but I have not been given a surname."

"Yes, it's just that I don't have enough knowledge to understand the deep meaning of the surname bestowed by the emperor. If the attendant can explain it to me, I should be very grateful."

Xun Yun didn't refuse, but marked the ground with his finger and wrote a character Ke. "Ke Zhe, the handle of the axe. The emperor gave you the surname Ke, in the hope that you can become my great man's sharp axe. Eliminate evil and suppress evil, and keep the frontier peaceful. The commander should be familiar with the handle of the axe, right?"

Ke Bi Neng realized something, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded.He was in the grassland, so of course he knew the handle of the axe. "The handle of the ax should be held in the hands of the owner. In order to make it comfortable for the owner to hold, the handle must be trimmed to remove the burrs."

"Not only that." Xun Yun said, and drew an ax on the ground. "The ax is used together with the axe. It is not only a weapon, but also a torture tool, and it can also be used as a symbol of royal power. Therefore, Ke must not only be strong and practical, but also be decorated with gold, silver, pearls and jade."

Ke Bi Neng's eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with joy.

The emperor of the Han family will not only not kill me, but also give me benefits?This is a good thing.

"Of course, compared to those external decorations, the most precious thing is the inner infiltration." Xun Yun nodded at the handle of the axe. "If you have used an ax before, you must know that the grip is different from other places. After being soaked in sweat, it is like gold and jade."

"What... does this mean?" Ke Bi Neng was a little confused.

"Enlightenment." Xun Yun wiped his fingers on his pants. "A gentleman is like jade, nourishing himself with virtue. The closer you are to the emperor, you will not only get wealth, but also be nourished by the emperor's virtue. From a villain to a gentleman, from a barbarian to a Chinese."

The corner of Ke Bineng's mouth twitched, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Then how can one become a gentleman?"

"Read books. Read the books of sages to know loyalty, filial piety and righteousness."

Ke Bi Neng nodded slightly. "Servant...can you teach me to read?"

Xun Yun smiled and shook his hand. "I have little knowledge, how dare I be the commander-in-chief's teacher? If the commander-in-chief wants to learn, if he doesn't mind asking the emperor for orders, he will definitely arrange a real scholar for the commander-in-chief."

Ke Bineng said again: "Can the attendant speak for me?"

"of course can."
