One of the most important ones is to rebuild the post system and restore the channels for the government to issue orders.

In doing so, there are two considerations:

One is that the Han Dynasty has a vast territory, and it only relies on human legs to walk, so the speed of transmitting information is too slow, and the lag is too serious, which is not conducive to governance.

The second is that with the stability of Bingliang, a large number of Xianbei and Wuhuan descendants settled in the fortress, and the animal husbandry industry in the northwest began to recover, and a large number of horses needed to be sold.Rebuilding the post system can find a place for horses to be used, and it is also a way to obtain wealth from Shandong and support the development of the Northwest.

There are advantages and disadvantages in selling horses to Shandong.

If the ambitions of Shandong prefectures are not eliminated, it is very likely that these horses will be used to enhance their strength, thereby improving their chances of bargaining with the court.

Therefore, Liu Xie decided to transfer Wei Wei Ma Teng to be a servant, and strictly control the horses in the western gardens. The best war horses can only stay in the army and be directly controlled by the court.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xie issued another order: transfer Zhenxi General Han Sui to Fujun General, lead his troops to Luoyang, and supervise the military affairs of Yanyu, Qingzhou and Xuzhou.Huang Yi and Jiang Jiong were the long history of left and right, and joined the military.

When announcing the imperial edict, Liu Xieyu said to Han Sui earnestly that Dong Zhuo, a native of Xiliang, destroyed Luoyang and left him with eternal infamy.Let you enter Luoyang today. I hope you can restrain your subordinates and bring Luoyang back to life. It proves that Xiliang people are not only reckless like Dong Zhuo who killed innocent people indiscriminately, but also have talents who care about people's livelihood. They are not only good at destroying, but also good at building.

Han Sui bowed to accept the order, feeling overwhelmed.

This is an opportunity given to him by the emperor. If he can complete it, he will become a real representative of Xiliang people, and his achievements will surpass those of Liangzhou Sanming.

The carriage stopped slowly.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward quickly, bowed his hands and saluted. "Huang Gong, Shi Yuan, you have worked hard all the way."

The car door opened, revealing Pang Tong's smiling face.

It was an ordinary face, but his eyes were bright, and he couldn't see the hard work of the long journey at all, but there was a trace of indescribable excitement.

"Kong Ming, are you safe?"

"Shi Yuan, you're finally here." Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I thought something was wrong, and I was about to send someone to meet you."

"Are you worried about me, or are you worried..." Pang Tong winked at a car behind him. "Someone?"

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and whispered something in Pang Tong's ear.Pang Tong was startled, his eyes became brighter.

"really?"

"We'll know when we see it."

Pang Tong nodded repeatedly, jumped out of the car without saying anything.Zhuge Liang ordered someone to fetch a wooden bench to get off, and immediately asked Huang Chengyan to get off.

Huang Chengyan is in his early forties, with a medium build and good facial features, but he looks a little tired.He sized up Zhuge Liang, nodded in satisfaction, flicked his sleeves, and pointed to the carriage behind him.

"Go and see Ah Chu, Shi Yuan and I took two steps. After riding for a long time, my legs are numb."

Zhuge Liang rejoiced in his heart, pleaded guilty, rushed to the carriage behind, and bowed to salute.

"Achu, are you tired?"

A slightly tired but excited voice came from the car. "Thank you, Brother Zhuge, for your concern. Although the journey was hard, it was an eye-opener, and it made people linger. I am a bit late, and I hope Brother Zhuge forgive me. Mom, let's get out of the car."

Zhuge Liang was startled, looked up and saw the car door opened, revealing two faces.

One is gratified, the other is shy.

Zhuge Liang quickly lowered his head and bowed again. "I didn't expect my wife to come, I was not prepared, I was rude, I was rude."

Huang Chengyan's wife Cai looked at Zhuge Liang and nodded slightly. "We haven't seen each other for a few months, but Kong Ming has just begun to show greatness. It is gratifying to congratulate. It seems that the Son of Heaven is not only good at distinguishing jade, but also good at carving jade. With such a wise king and virtuous ministers, the great man can expect peace."

Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked Cai to get out of the car, Huang Yueying got out of the car first, glanced at Zhuge Liang embarrassedly, and helped her mother Cai get out of the car.The mother and daughter, arm in arm, followed Zhuge Liang to the long pavilion on the side, climbing high and looking far away, filled with emotion.

Cai said: "When I was in Xiangyang, I often heard people say that Guanzhong was desolate and devastated. I didn't expect that it would be restored in just a few years. If you don't look carefully, it's really hard to imagine what they said."

"Yes, hearing is deception, seeing is believing. If you don't come out for a walk, who would have thought of it." Huang Yueying laughed softly: "Guanzhong is only a thousand miles away from Xiangyang, and the scenery is very different. The Western Regions thousands of miles away , What does it look like? Mom, I really want to go and have a look."

"I can't accompany you." Cai said with a smile, "you'd better find someone else to accompany you. He has been there before, and he can still be a guide."

Huang Yueying's face flushed slightly, but she didn't flinch. "Brother Zhuge, can you?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly. "As long as you are willing, what's the point of the Western Regions? The emperor said that one day, the iron cavalry of the big man will drink the sea of ​​the Qin Dynasty, and the big boats of the big man will sail beyond the vast expanse of blue waves."

Chapter 635

Huang Chengyan turned around and looked over. "The Son of Heaven is a little anxious to use troops abroad so soon."

"Not now." Zhuge Liang shook his head. "Someday."

"Even if there is a day, it will be within 30 years. After all, Ah Chu will be our age in 30 years, and he will not be able to go if he wants to." Huang Chengyan stroked his beard, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes. "For today's big man, 30 years is far from enough."

"30 years is not enough, then wait another 30 years. With the safety of cars and buildings and boats, you can travel around the world in your sixtieth year."

Huang Chengyan nodded and didn't say anything else, but the worried look on his brows remained unchanged.

Pang Tong on the side was somewhat disapproving. "Huang Gong, I don't think we need to wait 30 years."

"Why?" Huang Chengyan squinted at Pang Tong. "Shiyuan, it's good to be young and promising, but it's not good to be eager for quick success."

Pang Tong laughed. "Huang Gong, my confidence comes from doing something, not doing nothing. You say that 30 years is not enough. You probably think that Xiaowu was able to fight the Huns only after the founding of the Han Dynasty for 70 years, right?"

Huang Chengyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth trembled, signaling Pang Tong to continue.

Pang Tong raised his head and hands behind his back, looking around. "One moment, and another moment. In the early Han Dynasty, in view of the failure of the Qin government, he followed the way of Huang and Lao, and rested with the people. First, there was the chaos of Han Xin and Pengyue, and then there was the chaos of the Lu family, and then there were the rebellions of Wu Chu and Huainan. Until the Tuen Decree is issued and the edict of the Son of Heaven is carried out in the world, then can the power of the world be gathered to drive the Xiongnu in the north, Baiyue in the south, Qilian in the west, and North Korea in the east."

Pang Tong's voice gradually became louder, hoarse and full of pride. "Although the world has been in chaos for more than ten years, the vitality has not been damaged, and there is no need to rest with the people for 70 years. As for Shandong Prefecture, hehe, let alone Han Xin and Peng Yue, there are no such people as Liu Bi and Liu An."

Pang Tong turned to look at Huang Chengyan. "The most important thing is that the prosperity of the great Han Dynasty is not burdened by the Qin government. Naturally, there is no need to follow the inaction of Huang Lao. It is necessary to set up Meng Ke's ambition as a man and take the world as his own responsibility. Therefore, the emperor has an edict, regardless of men and women, regardless of civil or military, but can Anyone who reads books and abides by etiquette can be a scholar. How can the prosperity of talents be compared to that in the early Han Dynasty after a few years?"

Huang Chengyan smiled and nodded.

Huang Yueying said: "The revival of the Great Han Dynasty is not the succession of the Han Dynasty to the Qin system, so it is not appropriate to compare it. If it is forced to be compared, it should not be the time when the Great Han Dynasty was first prosperous, but when Xiaowen came to the throne after Lu's chaos, and the beginning of the prosperity of Wenjing. "

Pang Tong clapped his hands and smiled. "Heroes see the same thing. Kong Ming, what do you think?"

"Everyone has their own strengths, and they all have their own reasons."

"That's not the best answer." Pang Tong said unconvinced: "You might as well tell us your opinion and let us see it."

Huang Yueying also stared at Zhuge Liang, but she was not as aggressive as Pang Tong.

Seeing this, Huang Chengyan and his wife unconsciously held their breath and listened quietly to Zhuge Liang's speech.

Zhuge Liang smiled. "Shiyuan, the world is unpredictable, so there is no best answer. If you think this way, you are drawing the ground as a prison and setting limits on yourself. As Ah Chu said, it is not appropriate to force a comparison with time and change. Take the roughness as a reference. Yes. Every step you take is a new road, what matters is whether you can reach the destination, not the same story as a certain one.”

Pang Tong was somewhat disapproving. "Speaking of it, it's not like reading a book without asking for a deep understanding, and taking the general idea."

"I really thought so at first." Zhuge Liang's eyes were a little more dignified. "Now I feel that reading should not be satisfied with seeking solutions, but should seek the way."

Pang Tong asked: "What do you mean by seeking solutions and what do you mean by seeking the way?"

Zhuge Liang smiled. "Shi Yuan, don't worry, just remember this sentence first."

"And—" Pang Tong dragged out his voice, pretending to be disdainful.

Huang Yueying covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

-

Zhuge Liang led Huang Chengyan and his party into the city and settled them down.

This is a house, although it is not as spacious as their old house in Xiangyang, but it is tidy and tidy, and all kinds of utensils are considered complete.

Huang Chengyan and his wife are very satisfied.

Zhuge Liang's ability to arrange it so well shows that although he has not been an official for a long time, he has a certain amount of financial resources.Aside from Zhou Zhong's recommendation, one of the reasons why Zhuge Liang was valued by the emperor must be one of the reasons.

This point can also be seen from Zhuge Liang's eyes when he talked about the Son of Heaven.

In addition to the sympathy between a genius and a genius, there is also the luck of a good minister meeting a Mingjun.

"You live here first, and make arrangements after the emperor summons you."

Pang Tong couldn't wait. "How long will it take?"

"It won't be long." Zhuge Liang said, "If you're bored, you can go for a walk nearby, but not too far away. The people living around here are all court officials, and some of them may be your future colleagues. It's also good to get familiar with them in advance. OK."

Pang Tong smiled with satisfaction.

Zhuge Liang said to Mrs. Cai again: "Cai Lingshi is in the first area on the left, and there is a gate in front of it. If you are interested, Madam, you might as well go and have a look. She has the most books, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Many of them were collected by Anthony, a businessman from the Western Regions."

Mrs. Cai understood and nodded in agreement.

She heard on the way that the imperial court intends to set up the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce to integrate Hu merchants in the Western Regions and manage the export of silk and silk in a unified manner.Cai Mao specially sent someone here to ask her to pay more attention to relevant news and strive for some benefits for the Cai family in Xiangyang.

Although she doesn't like Cai Mao's mercenary, but it is related to the interests of the family, and she can't sit idly by.

Since Cai Yan has friendship with Anthony, she naturally cannot miss this opportunity and must find a way to visit Cai Yan.

The Cai family in Xiangyang and the Cai family in Chenliu were originally in the same line, they are both descendants of the Cai State, and the most recent source can be traced back to a hundred years ago.

Huang Yueying asked: "Brother Zhuge, does the female cavalry governor also live nearby?"

"It's in the back row, the third room from the left. But she's not at home most of the time. If you want to see her, just wait for my message."

Huang Yueying nodded repeatedly.

After Zhuge Liang made the arrangements, he rushed back to the palace and reported to Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was receiving the gentry in Guanzhong, and there was a large group of nearly a hundred people sitting in the hall.

There is only one thing for so many people to see: please move the emperor to Guanzhong.

The leader is two people.One is the former imperial servant Zhao Qi, and the other is the former Liangzhou Mu Weiduan.

When Zhuge Liang came to the hall, Zhao Qi had just finished speaking, and the lingering sound was lingering.

Liu Xie looked at Zhao Qi with a smile. "Mr. Zhao, you have been in Taiyuan for more than a year, and you have recuperated well. You are full of grandeur. You are worthy of being an annotator of "Mencius". I read your "Mencius Annotation", and I was very inspired."

Zhao Qi smiled proudly. "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

"However, moving the capital to Guanzhong is not like your plan." Liu Xie looked at Chen Gong behind Zhao Qi. "Could it be Chen Gongtai's suggestion?"

Zhao Qi looked a little embarrassed.

Chen Gong was also a little surprised, he raised his head, glanced at Liu Xie, saw the smile in Liu Xie's eyes, and was relieved.After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and went out, bowing to the ground.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that this is the first initiative of Mr. Zhao, and I just made a little addition."

"Stay flat." Liu Xie stretched out his hand to support him. "Tell me your reasons."

Chapter 636

"Wei." Chen Gong bowed and bowed again, and when he got up, his face had returned to calm.

He stated his reasons.

There are three reasons for moving the capital to Guanzhong:

First of all, Guanzhong was the capital of the Han Dynasty for more than two hundred years, and the tombs of the Liu family's ancestors are all near Chang'an.ZTE again, returning to Lidu in Guanzhong, is more in line with the meaning of the cycle.In the first year of Chuping, the imperial court moved westward to Guanzhong, but Dong Zhuo was in chaos at that time, and Yu Yi's principles were not smooth.Now the Son of Heaven pacifies Liangzhou and returns to Guanzhong, which is justified.

Secondly, Guanzhong is close to the border, and the capital is moved to Guanzhong, which is conducive to guarding the border.Although Liangzhou is pacified and Xianbei is far away, the frontier still needs a large army.Moving the capital to Guanzhong is conducive to the smooth implementation of government orders and timely response.

Finally, the arable land in Hedong is limited and cannot support too many people.Guanzhong has a large amount of arable land and has more room for development.

Zhao Qi had already spoken just now, and most of Chen Gong's opinions were included in it. Now I just want to emphasize it, and there are not many new ideas.

This also proved Liu Xie's judgment just now: Zhao Qi's suggestion was mainly put forward by Chen Gong, and he just added some embellishments, which seemed more reasonable and well-founded.

Liu Xie signaled Chen Gong to return to the table, and then asked other people for their opinions.

Everyone spoke up one after another, expressing their support for Chen Gong's opinion. Even if they had different opinions, it was not against Chen Gong. They just said that the imperial court was tentatively set and the world was not in peace, so it is not appropriate to rush to move the capital.

Liu Xie took a glance and found that most of the people who raised similar opinions were from Hedong, such as Wei Ji and Pei Jun.

They are soft-spoken, and their reasons are not sufficient enough to pose a threat.

Seeing Zhuge Liang walking in, Liu Xie announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked everyone to go back and think about it, and then discuss it in two days.

Zhao Qi and Wei Duan left first, and the others retired one by one.Wei Ji, Pei Jun and others are close ministers in the palace, and they also returned to their posts and continued to deal with official business.Pei Jun took the meeting minutes and sorted them out, and sent the meeting minutes after a while.

Liu Xie looked at it and handed it over to Zhuge Liang.

"Have you settled down?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. They are very satisfied with the settlement." Zhuge Liang read the minutes and said, "Pang Tong can see you anytime, as long as His Majesty is free."

Liu Xie thought about it. "Is the banquet ready?"

"There's nothing to prepare. Just eat something tonight. Pang Tong is upright and unruly, and he is not a person of etiquette. Huang Jun and his wife are also hermits, and they don't pay much attention to these etiquettes."

"Having said that, you can't be too negligent." Liu Xie said: "The couple only have this one daughter, and they sent it to you from a long distance. How can you be too perfunctory?"
