Han Dao world

It is indeed a good choice to build a martial arts hall on the former site of Efang Palace.The quality of the rammed earth here is excellent. Although the palace above was burnt down, there is not even a little ash left. The rammed earth foundation has experienced more than 400 years of wind and rain, but it is as solid as ever.

At this point, people can't help but admire the technology of the Qin Dynasty, which can have such a miracle.

Of course, behind this miracle is the suffering of countless people.Under the Efang Palace, the Great Wall, and the Zhidao, there are many bones.

The old site of Efang Palace not only has a solid foundation, but also is wide enough to be inspected by small-scale troops.

As far as the objective reality is concerned, building a lecture hall at the former site of Efang Palace is economical and affordable, and it is the most ideal choice.

But there are also many people who oppose it.

The reason is also very simple: the emperor reused Bingliang people, backed by [-] Bingliang elites, which was originally a ridicule of Tyranny.Now Guanzhong is the capital, and the lecture hall is built in the old site of Afang Palace, which is simply an edict to the world that the new government is the Qin government.

This runs counter to His Majesty's idea of ​​promoting kingship, as some veteran officials said.

Such a voice naturally reached the ears of Huang Chengyan and his daughter.

But Huang Chengyan is a half-hermit, who regards himself as the son of Chu, and scoffs at this set of theories.Huang Yueying felt that those old officials were unreasonable.It is tyranny to use the existing site. Is it the kingly way to expropriate civil servants and build large-scale construction projects from the beginning?

The two sides insisted on their views and refused to give in to each other, so Liu Xie had to come forward to mediate.

Checking for himself whether the old site of Efang Palace is suitable is the first step for him to reconcile.

If you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak. This is the basic principle.

Facing the map, listening to Huang Yueying's introduction of the nearby terrain, Liu Xie basically agreed with Huang Yueying's point of view.

"That's it." Liu Xie said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Yueying was very excited and clenched her fists vigorously.

After arguing for so long, it was finally settled.

"Your Majesty, it's better to have a long-term plan on this matter." Zhuge Liang reminded: "Site selection is only the first step, and there are still many projects ahead. If you don't get the support of other ministers, it will be inevitable that there will be some people in the future, and troubles will arise."

"Disputes are inevitable, and dispute resolution is the way to go." Liu Xie disagreed.He paused, then turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang again. "How to choose a site is a matter for your wife. How to resolve disputes, you have to put more thought into it, and don't be afraid of difficulties."

Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and said in agreement: "That's right, I'm afraid before things are done, but it won't work."

Zhuge Liang responded helplessly. "only."

"Since the site selection has been decided, the corresponding affairs can be arranged. How many man-days and materials are needed, we must be as thoughtful as possible. In addition, the blueprints are the first to bear the brunt. The first phase of the Jiangwu Hall does not need to be large, but It has to be distinctive."

Liu Xie looked at Huang Yueying. "This is the first real project since ZTE. The burden on your family's shoulders is not light."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best." Huang Yueying was full of confidence.

"You work hard too." Liu Xie said to the members of the preparatory team behind Huang Yueying: "After the completion of the project, your names will be written into the history of the martial arts hall and engraved on the stele. Dudu Ma has proved that women can be just like men Marching, whether you can prove that women can be as qualified craftsmen as men is up to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone was a little excited, their voices were trembling, and even shrill.

Liu Xieyang raised his hand, signaled Huang Yueying and others to stop, turned around and got off the high platform.A scattered cavalry sent a war horse, Liu Xie got on the horse, and surrounded by the scattered cavalry, he galloped away lightly.

Zhuge Liang stayed at the end, took care of Huang Yueying a few steps in a hurry, and followed.

"Your Majesty is so brave." A young woman couldn't help but praise.

"Of course." Huang Yueying raised her arms as a matter of course. "Although His Majesty is young, he is a real man. Not only is he foresighted, but he is also decisive. As long as he has his support, no matter how difficult things can be done. A Mi, can you rest assured now?"

Zhen Mi opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, but her eyes involuntarily looked at the faint figure on the official road, feeling disappointed.

-

Zhuge Liang raised his whip, accelerated slowly, and caught up with Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, the Martial Arts Hall is located at the former site of Efang Palace. Shouldn't the related workshops also be located nearby? In this way, I'm afraid that several colleges will have to be established separately."

Liu Xie hummed. "It is better to separate military and civilian uses, which is conducive to confidentiality."

"Separation is indeed conducive to keeping secrets, but there are not enough craftsmen in the first place, and if we separate, the gap will be even bigger. I heard that Ma Jun was not willing to enter the Taixue, and it would be even more difficult to invite him into the lecture hall. "

Liu Xie turned to look at Zhuge Liang. "Ma Jun is unwilling to enter the imperial school?"

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly. "Your Majesty probably doesn't know how much income his own workshop can make a year. Nowadays, silk and silk are selling well, and the supply of looms is in short supply. The new looms haven't come out yet, and there are already countless deposits in front of him. The salary of the Taixue teacher , he can't see it at all."

"These people only have money in their eyes." Shi A, who has never expressed much opinion, said with a bit of resentment.

The servants on the side laughed.

Liu Xie was puzzled. "what happened again?"

"Shi Pushe went to order a long sword a few days ago, but he didn't bring enough money, so he was rejected." A waiter said loudly: "The craftsman also said that with Shi Pushe's little money, let alone a long sword, it will be fine." A dozen kitchen knives are not enough."

"Who is so skilled and dares to be so crazy?"

"A blacksmith from the Western Regions is still lame. It is said that he has a kind of sky iron in his hand. Just add a little bit to the iron to make a sword that can cut iron like mud, and it will not rust for thousands of years."

"What sky iron is Tianzhu iron?" Shi A corrected.

Chapter 670 Awake in the World

There is no wave in Liu Xie's ancient well.

The so-called Tianzhu iron that is cut like mud and has been stainless for thousands of years, he just regards it as a floating cloud.This kind of rumored news is not worth his distraction.

Things that can only be collected and played by a small number of people will not affect the overall situation.

As for Ma Jun's reluctance to join the Imperial Academy because he disliked the lack of salary for teaching at the Imperial Academy, he could understand it, and was even happy to see its success.

The economic reform has just started, and wealth has grown rapidly. It is normal for ordinary people to see money. This is a very normal phenomenon, and there is no need to make a fuss.

A villain speaks profit, and a gentleman speaks righteousness, as it should be.

It is the normal law of human nature to know the etiquette if you have enough food and clothing, and know the honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing.

Those who live in peace and happiness, and who are brave enough to contribute are true gentlemen, which can be admired, but ordinary people cannot be required to do so.

On the contrary, if we sit back and watch the hypocrites benefit, but require ordinary people to only speak righteousness and not profit, then that is a problem.

In his view, the world is not afraid of ordinary people being blinded by money—people will naturally have higher pursuits when they have enough food and clothing—it is afraid that hypocrites will gain the right to speak, and while monopolizing huge profits and making a fortune, they will talk about business at the same time. The biggest benefit is to make yourself a worldly expert who doesn't like money.

What Liu Xie has to consider now is another thing.

Yuan Shao has already withdrawn his troops, and Shandong is about to be at peace. Even if the state of war is not lifted, war is no longer the main issue. Resumption of production is on the agenda. How to increase the income of officials and soldiers has become a problem he must face.

At this time, it is obviously unrealistic to delay the payment of officials' salaries and not pay the soldiers, but only provide food and clothing.

In addition to the cultivation of Taixue, the training of martial arts halls, and even the construction of Chang'an City, where will the money come from?

The money is in Shandong, but Shandong scholar-bureaucrats are unwilling to give it.

Liu Biao wrote a letter proclaiming his minister for so long, but the tribute has not been delivered. It is said that Zhang Ji's soldiers invaded Xiangyang, and all the money and food were used to protect the country and the people.

It really makes no sense.

Yizhou is even better. So far, not to mention tribute, he has not even been called a minister.

Once Zhang Xi died, the biggest trouble was that the connection with Yizhou was cut off.Yizhou people seem to be dumb, silent.

This made Liu Xie very annoyed, and the idea of ​​sending troops was about to move, like a devil's raving bewitching.

"Your Majesty, I agree with the separation of the lecture hall and the Taixue." Pang Tong, who hadn't spoken much, said suddenly: "And the former site of Efang Palace is the best choice, there is no one."

Liu Xie withdrew his thoughts and turned to look at Pang Tong. "Why?"

"A lot of people object to building a martial arts hall at the former site of Efang Palace, not because of the cost. Anyone who has a little knowledge knows that this plan is the most economical. They object, but they don't want people to think of Qin Zheng and Qin Jun."

Pang Tong paused for a moment, then chuckled: "This is the fear in their hearts. It is very necessary to maintain this fear."

"Shiyuan, what are you talking about?" Zhuge Liang was a little dissatisfied, and stopped Pang Tong with his eyes.

Pang Tong smiled even more proudly. "Soldiers are an ominous weapon. Everyone understands this truth, but many people ignore the latter sentence intentionally or unintentionally, and use it for their own sake. If it is just because soldiers are an ominous weapon, they will not listen to it and cover their ears. Bullying, isn’t it like forgetting the battle? Although the world is safe, forgetting the battle will be dangerous. This is the lesson of Dongdu, and we must not forget it.”

With a move in Liu Xie's heart, he understood what Pang Tong meant, and the dark clouds weighing on his heart were swept away, and he felt instantly refreshed.

But he didn't show it, and he didn't express his opinion. He just signaled Pang Tong to continue.

"I also support Shi Yuan's opinion." Fazheng also spoke, lightly waving the whip in his hand. "Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be in danger. Now the world is not safe, let alone forgetting the war. Not only can't forget, but also actively prepare for war, ready to go east at any time, and dominate the world. If it is not like this, I am afraid that the war will rise again, and the chaos between Wu and Chu will be a trivial matter It is not impossible for the story of the Six Kingdoms to conquer Qin to repeat itself."

"Could it be that in your eyes, the imperial court is... Qin?" Cao Ang couldn't help but said.

Fa Zheng looked at Cao Ang. "In my eyes, it doesn't matter what the court is. What matters is what the court is in the eyes of those people. If they believe that the court is Qin, even if His Majesty is willing to abdicate, I'm afraid they will take it for granted. Cao Zixiu, and Not everyone is as aware of current affairs as your father is, and knows right from wrong."

Cao Ang gave Fazheng a dissatisfied look, feeling unhappy.

Discussing state affairs is discussing state affairs, why are you talking about my father?

Seeing that the topic was going off track, Liu Xie made a speech to let the accompanying loose riders speak freely and discuss the views of Pang Tong and Fazheng.

There will be a group of prefects and generals among these young people. It is very necessary to understand their tendencies in advance and let them understand their own ruling ideas.Especially Cao Ang, after Cao Cao took the initiative to enter the court to meet him, no matter how Cao Cao was arranged, he should let Cao Ang out and test the waters.

This is a necessary gesture, telling Shandong prefectures and counties what to do.

Kong Rong and Mi Heng walked into the gate of Bacheng, looked at the destroyed palace walls on both sides, and glanced at each other in unison.

"Zhengping, do you have the feeling of finally entering the customs?"

Mi Heng leaned against the wall of the car, curling her lips in disdain. "Did I come west to seek fame? I just wanted to wake up the ears of the final army." He pointed to the palace wall. "Xiaowu fought south and north, opened up the four barbarians, and where is it now? Although the palace wall was destroyed by the hands of Chimei, the root of the disaster was planted by Xiaowu. Those who have a good reputation like a final soldier cannot escape the blame."

Kong Rong nodded. "Zhengping is right, but it's me, Meng Lang. When the world is in peace, rest and recuperation should be the most important thing, and you shouldn't be eager for success."

"Yes!" The old god Mi Heng nodded, moved his body, and stretched his legs. "Yesterday, I heard from the people in the posthouse that the emperor is going to build a lecture hall at the former site of Afang Palace. This is simply a disorderly government. I don't know what the ministers in the court think, but no one objected. Could it be that after Sikong passed away, There are only obedient people left in this dynasty?"

Speaking of Zhang Xi, Kong Rong's expression darkened.

He already knew the news of Zhang Xi's death and felt very guilty.He went to scold Zhang Xi, just wanting to wake Zhang Xi up, heal the disease and save the patient.As a result, the disease was not cured, but people died, which is really frustrating.

On the way here, he was thinking about how to take credit for Zhang Xi and make up for his mistakes.Hearing Mi Heng's accusation against the court minister at this moment, he felt even more uncomfortable, and felt more and more responsible for himself.

"The son of heaven lost his parents when he was young, grew up in Nangong, neglected education, and was in troubled times. He didn't understand the scriptures. Some absurdities are inevitable. Now that the world is stable, it is the opportunity for tutoring." Kong Rong said with a heavy tone. "Zhengping, you and I can't rely on Wu Anbang, we should use literature to promote education."

Mi Heng sat up straight, nodded solemnly, cupped his hands and said, "That's right, you and I encourage each other."

Kong Rong also solemnly returned the gift, feeling like a hero for a while.

At this time, there was a chuckle from outside the car. "It's really not easy. You can still see such a brazen person these days."

Mi Heng was furious, opened the curtain of the car, and saw two young men riding in the same direction as them, turning their heads and looking at him with disdain.

"What did you say?" Mi Heng was furious. "Eavesdropping on other people's conversation, are you polite?"

"I didn't eavesdrop." The young man closest to him shrugged, and the voice was the one who spoke just now. "You're so loud, I can't stop listening. Besides, who cares to listen to your bullshit, it's dirty my ears. Are you polite?"

Chapter 671

You Heng was furious. "What are you talking about? Which sentence did I say wrong?"

"Which sentence are you right?" The young man retorted.

"I..." You Heng was at a loss for words for a moment, but he didn't know how to respond. By the time he responded, the young man had already walked away.Pointing at the young man's back, full of fighting spirit, he slapped the wall of the car vigorously, and said repeatedly: "Catch up, catch up, I want to argue with him!"

The boss of the car coughed lightly. "My lord, have you seen the knife on his waist?"

Mi Heng was taken aback. "See, so what?"

"According to the rules in this level, if you want to reason with him, you must win the knife in his hand first, otherwise you will be asking for trouble."

"This... what kind of rule is this?"

"This is the rule of Guanzhong." Boss Che gave Mi Heng a sympathetic look.

He didn't want to say it, but he was deeply worried about You Heng.Knowing nothing about the situation in Guanzhong, he ran to Guanzhong to point fingers, and sooner or later his tongue was cut off.

"This...is there still a king's law?"

"This is the king's law in Guanzhong." Boss Che was a little impatient.This Mi Heng looks like a smart person, how could he be so stupid to be stubborn? "If the court doesn't have a sword, can Yuan Shao become a minister?"

Mi Heng was furious, and was about to speak, but was dragged back by Kong Rong.

"That young man has an extraordinary appearance, with a knife on his waist and a horse on his crotch. He must not be the son of an ordinary family, right? He travels around Guanzhong and has seen a lot. Do you know who he is?"

Boss Che thought about it seriously. "Judging from his accent, he doesn't look like a local, so I can't guess it. But the person next to him looks familiar, like a child of the Jin family."

"The Jin family?"

"Jingzhao Jin's family, his father Jin Yuanxiu is very famous, but it's a pity that he was killed by Yuan Shu, that fierce ghost on the road."

Kong Rong let out an "oh" and said nothing more.

Mi Heng asked curiously, "You know him?"

Kong Rong nodded. "I heard that he was one of the three rests in Jingzhao. During the Chuping period, he was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, but he was expelled by Cao Cao and failed to take office."
