"Just like governing a big country, building a bridge is also very complicated. It cannot be completed by one or two people. It requires a team, and it is a large-scale team. Such a team needs to be managed by people, preferably people who understand technology. You It is the most suitable for both technology and management talent.”

Liu Xie talked eloquently, giving Zhen Mi the idea of ​​a project.

The agricultural era also requires team combat, but there are not many opportunities, mainly in water conservancy and military affairs.In addition, all production is carried out on the basis of farmers, and there is not much large-scale cooperation.

Even a manor with a certain scale is actually a small-scale peasant economy with a low degree of specialization.

Things have changed.If it develops smoothly, Chinese civilization will enter the industrial age in the near future.More teamwork is needed, and a lot of compound talents who understand both technology and management are needed.

Zhen Mi has potential in this area, and she has the foundation to work hard in this area.

Zhongshan Zhen Mi has strong financial resources and can afford to support a team.

On the other hand, if the Zhongshan Zhen family can be guided to engineering construction and profit from it, it may set an example and tell more people that land is not the only way to get rich, or even the best way.

Seeking wealth through poverty, agriculture is not as good as industry, and industry is not as good as business, this is the truth that people knew hundreds of years ago.

Of course, for a wealthy businessman like the Zhen family in Zhongshan, turning to industry is actually not the best choice.It's just that with the temptation of Fenghou, the situation is a little different.

Zhen Mi was really smart, and immediately understood what Liu Xie meant.

In terms of technology alone, she may not be able to surpass Huang Yueying, and she may never be able to build a bridge across the river.But she can form a team, continuously accumulate experience, and finally approach the goal step by step until the goal is achieved.

"Your Majesty's eyes are so far away, I am really eye-opening." Zhen Mi was overjoyed, exclaiming sincerely, her eyes were full of little stars.

"Does this count as rain and dew?"

"Forget it, forget it." Zhen Mi covered her mouth and smiled. "I will live up to your Majesty's expectations and turn these few drops of rain into a trickle to nourish Zhongshan."

Liu Xie nodded. "I believe you can go further. In the future, you will not only nourish Zhongshan, but also Jizhou, and even benefit the world."

"May it be as Your Majesty said." Zhen Mi bowed and bowed again, and left contentedly.

Ma Yunlu came over and brushed past Zhen Mi, and was a little surprised to see Zhen Mi's face beaming with joy.She walked to Liu Xie's side, and looked back at Zhen Mi again.

"What did His Majesty say to make her so happy?"

Liu Xie briefly explained what happened just now.

Ma Yunlu was stunned. "I've heard that she has a big heart. Now it seems that the rumors are true."

"No matter how big her thoughts are, she is only a marquis, but you are already a marquis, but you are still not satisfied."

Ma Yunlu raised his eyebrows, and when he was about to speak, Liu Xie raised his chin lightly.Ma Yunlu followed his line of sight and saw the female cavalry riding a horse and shooting willows, and couldn't help smiling proudly.

This time she went out with the emperor and served as the female cavalry governor again, with [-] female cavalry under her command.In order to prevent them from slack, she designed some games, which can not only entertain the body and mind, but also practice the skills of riding and fighting.

Sheryu is one of them.

Hang a few copper coins, handkerchiefs and other things on the tree, and you can practice riding and shooting.If you don't even have a tree, you can use a spear instead.The female riders bent their bows and shot arrows. Every time they hit a shot, there was a burst of joyful laughter, which attracted many people to watch. It was also a scene in the camp.

"It's not that the courtiers and concubines are dissatisfied, it's just that old habits die hard and they can't stay idle."

"It's a good thing that you can't leave your fists and your tunes." Liu Xie looked away. "Do you have something to say?"

"Well, Guang Luxun sent someone to ask if he wanted to cross the river to Hedong. If he wanted to go, should he cross the river here and go to Puban, or go to Shan County to cross the river and go to Dayang."

Liu Xie thought about it, but couldn't make a decision for a while. "What's your suggestion?"

Ma Yunlu was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Xie.

She has always only cared about military affairs and not government affairs, and Liu Xie rarely asked her opinions on such matters.

"His Majesty……"

Fortunately, Liu Xie didn't struggle for too long and made a decision quickly. "Let's pass an order to Xun Yin to see him, so we don't have to go to Hedong. The army crossing the border will cause countless troubles, and I am afraid that many people will not be able to sleep."

Ma Yunlu laughed out loud. "Your Majesty is really considerate, I'm afraid that the Hedong family may not be considerate of His Majesty's intentions."

"It doesn't matter." Liu Xie waved his hand helplessly. "When Jizhou is pacified, we will deal with them later, and settle the old and new accounts together."

Chapter 805

When Liu Xie arrived in Shan County, Xun Yu hurried over to see him.

He was quite surprised when he received the imperial edict.

Although the Son of Heaven is staying in Chang'an during this period, after all, he has not yet issued an edict to move the capital, and Anyi is still a temporary capital.Liu Xie's eastward expedition should pass through Anyi and inspect the achievements of Hedong in the past few years.

Xun Yu was already ready to pick him up, but when he suddenly received an edict saying that Liu Xie would not go from Hedong, but to take Weihan Road, his heart skipped a beat.

Is this the emperor dissatisfied with me?

Because a large number of Ruying people were trapped in Yecheng and became hostages for trial, Xun Yu received Xun Chen's distress letter very early, and knew that Xun Chen had contacted Xun Wenqian.But he has not expressed his position, just because he doesn't want to arouse the emperor's dislike.

Now it seems that there are some things that he can't hide from if he wants to.

He was ready to accept severe questioning, and sat in front of Liu Xie, only to find that Liu Xie looked calm, slowly flipping through the account book he brought, and there was no sign of getting angry at all.

After reading the account book, Liu Xie focused on asking a few questions.

The first is the naturalization of Xianbei and Hun prisoners.

Five years in Jian'an is the deadline for the first batch of captives to be naturalized. How many meet the conditions, and whether Bingzhou and Hedong have prepared enough land to accommodate those who want to move to the inner county, are all matters that need to be prepared in advance.As the temporary capital of the Han Dynasty, Hedong was the first choice for Xianbei and Xiongnu captives to naturalize. Xun Yu had the heaviest burden on his shoulders.

The second is how much room for improvement in the next few years.

The geographical conditions in Hedong are not superior, and many big clans have not been cleaned up, so the land under Xun Yu's control is limited.After resettling the rest of the Yellow Turbans, and resettling some naturalized Hu people, there may be no free land.

Without free land, can new development space be found?

The last question is also the most important question, can Hedong support Youyan Dufu and the imperial court's Eastern Expedition at the same time?

Because of the changes in the situation in Jizhou, Liu Bei was restrained in Qingxu again, unable to escape, and the plan to conquer Liaodong was affected.The emperor personally conquered Jizhou, and Hedong must also bear part of the food tax.

Can Hedong survive?

When it comes to government affairs, Xun Yu is very calm.

The naturalization of Hu people went smoothly.In fact, as soon as the imperial edict was issued, the selection work began.At present, there are about [-] households that meet the requirements.

Thirty thousand households is not a big number.When Hedong County was in Xijing, there used to be 23 households, but now there are less than [-] households. Even if all [-] households are arranged in Hedong, there is no pressure, let alone some of them.

The reason for the lack of land is that apart from the annexation of some aristocratic families, there is also the reason that the frontier is unstable and is often harassed by Hu Qi.Now Yanran is guarding Meiji, and the cavalry are patrolling outside the Great Wall, Yanran inside the Great Wall, those abandoned lands can be used again.

There are indeed many people who want to move to the inner county, but that is just because they are worried about Hu Qi's return and want peace of mind.In a few years, when they find out that Seine can maintain long-term stability, maybe someone will ask to move out.

For the Hu people, grazing is their habitual life.

When it comes to the development space of Hedong in the next few years, Xun Yu is also full of confidence.

As far as farming and grain are concerned, there is indeed little room for improvement, but industry and commerce have great potential for development.The most typical ones are not only the textile industry and fur industry, but also papermaking, book printing, pen and ink and other industries.

There are a large number of mountains and forests in the east of the river, and the fired pine smoke ink is very popular among literati.

There are also many high-quality pens made in Hedong, and the growth momentum is gratifying under the background of the nationwide promotion of enlightenment.

The east of the river has the advantage of a big river, and the fur outside the Great Wall is easy to transport in at a very low cost. After processing, it is sold to Shandong, which is very profitable.

Xun Yu snapped his fingers, counting the treasures, and every boring number on the accounting book became a vivid life.Liu Xie can even see the prosperity of the people from his demeanor.

When it comes to the last question, Xun Yu is surprisingly concise.

Hedong can't provide much food, but it can provide cured meat.The salt is the salt from the salt pond in Anyi, and the meat is the tax paid by the herdsmen in Xihe and Shangjun.The preparations began after autumn, and the warehouse is now full, ready to be shipped at any time.

Liu Xie listened and was very interested.Using cured meat as military rations is a method that the Agricultural School has just researched, and it is still in the experimental stage, but Xun Yu is one step ahead.

he asked.Xun Yu said frankly that he had two sources of information.

One is the research of agricultural schools, and the other is the experience of Hu people and herdsmen.

After Xun Chen left Chang'an, he passed by Hedong, and told him about the research of the agricultural school. He was very interested, and sent someone to Chang'an to find Shi Tao and ask about related methods.

Hu herdsmen also have experience in cured meat, but salt is too rare, so they are reluctant to use it, and usually smoke it or dry it directly.

With the combination of the two, Xun Yu produced cured meat that can be preserved for a long time.The taste is not bad, usually can be eaten as dry food.In fact, after this method was popularized, some people used this method to preserve meat so as not to spoil it if they were reluctant to eat it for a while.

Liu Xie was very satisfied, and finally asked a question: "About the use of troops in Jizhou, what suggestion does Ling Yin have?"

Xun Yu bowed and bowed. "Your Majesty, I only have six words: The king has a battle but not a battle."

Liu Xie was not surprised, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and motioned for Xun Yu to explain in detail.

"Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, and Chu and Zhao were the most tragic. Although Chu has three families, Qin must perish. Today's Han is actually the descendant of the Chu people, and the revenge of the Chu people can be regarded as revenge. But the revenge of the Zhao people has never been reported."

Liu Xie was taken aback.

Why is this going so far?

It was said that the heart knot of the people of Jizhou was Guo Shengtong, the queen of Emperor Guangwu, and now Xun Yu mentioned the State of Zhao. Will the battle of Zhuolu be involved in the future?

Seeing Liu Xie's doubts, Xun Yu was not surprised, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, there are vicissitudes of dynasties, but people are still those people, especially families. In fact, most of them are descendants of princes and princes back then. Ancestors, their memories are far longer than ordinary people."

Liu Xie blinked. "So, the court can't get rid of the shadow of Qin Jun?"

"I can't get rid of it." Xun Yu laughed. "But His Majesty is about to cross over."

"how do I say this?"

"Your Majesty, King Wu's army also came from the west. Now the general Fujun does not kill people or slaughter cities in Henan, but goes to prevent the autumn floods and seek the well-being of the people. Who would say that they are the army of tigers and wolves? The reason why Jizhou If you don't surrender, you are just hesitating. I don't know if this is the benevolence of one person for a while, or the intention of the court to follow the kingly way. Now that His Majesty is personally conscripting, if he can commit no crimes in autumn, it will be better than asking the generals of the army. The people will naturally eat pots of milk to welcome Master Wang, where does His Majesty need a bloody battle?"

Liu Xie suddenly realized, stared at Xun Yu for a while, smiled and shook his head.

"Ling Yin is really eloquent."

Xun Yu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart."

Liu Xie thought about it. "What does Ling Yin think of Du Tian?"

"The minister is naturally supportive, but... it is not appropriate to rush."

"Chang'an Discussion is coming soon, and a lot of contentious articles have been published, but most of them are people in the field, and no one from the state and county officials has spoken out. Ling Yin has been in Hedong for four years, and his achievements are often the best in the world. Shouldn't he also publish some Feelings, tell me your opinion on Du Tian?"

Chapter 806 Xun Yu's Discussion on Governance

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, then bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty has an edict, and I should obey it. It's just that my attitude towards Dutian may not be the same as your Majesty's, so I haven't dared to speak out."

"What's your attitude?" Liu Xie's tone was calm, but he could not refuse.

Xun Yu said slowly: "Annexation is the source of turmoil, and I hate it deeply. When my grandfather Shu was alive, every time his property increased, he always used it to support the clan. He didn't want to accumulate wealth in one person's hands, so that his children and grandchildren could live in comfort. Attracting people to covet, in vain attracting disaster."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat. "How much land does your family have now? Is it too much?"

"According to the imperial court's standards, it is naturally excessive. If we implement land duplication, about half of it will be handed over." Xun Yu said unhurriedly: "The output of these excess land is roughly equivalent to a minister's annual salary income. "

Liu Xie smiled.

He understood what Xun Yu meant.

The Xun family did occupy some more land, but these lands were not the reason why he opposed Dutian, and he could hand them over at any time.

That being the case, his opposition to Du Tian was not out of self-interest, but for other reasons.

He is also clear about these reasons, which are nothing more than two kinds: one is not in favor of rushing for quick success and quick profit, and forcibly pushes to save land to avoid changes;

After all, not everyone's land is taken by force. It can even be said that a large part of people's land is obtained legally.

The imperial court confiscated it if it said it was confiscated, so what is the kingly way?

Some people raised such a point of view during the Chang'an Lectures.If the imperial court does this, it is tantamount to encouraging lazy people and suppressing diligence and thrift.There will be many people who will stop farming and sell the land if they have no money. Anyway, after a period of time, the imperial court will save the land again, and the land will come back at that time.

This reasoning seems reasonable, but it is actually absurd.

But when it is executed, it may become really absurd.

Liu Xie also read some books in his previous life. He knew that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Potluck.

This is also one of the reasons why he has not forced the field.

But he didn't expect Xun Yu to think so.

He never expected to complete his work in one battle and implement Dutian in a sporty way.

Discussion, fermentation, in conjunction with the advancement of education and popularization, mobilizing the power of the people, and carrying out the field with the tenacity of dripping water and rocks are his guiding principles.

As a wise man in the world, with Xun Wenqian always delivering news to him and contacting him directly from time to time, Xun Yu should be the person who can best understand the court's intentions, how could there be such a misunderstanding.

Is my stride too big, or is he standing still and refusing to move forward?

Liu Xie pondered, his breath a little heavy.

Xun Yu saw it in his eyes, and it seemed like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and continued: "Your Majesty, I agree with saving the land, but I don't agree with being satisfied with saving the land. Governing the country should cure the root cause. If the cause of the merger cannot be solved, even now The rich and the poor alike, within 30 years, mergers will become a chronic disease."
