Han Dao world

Ju Shou was shocked, and Shi Sun Rui also raised his head in surprise.

They just said that they were exiled to remote areas, how did the emperor directly become exiled overseas?

Before they could speak, Liu Xie swept his eyes. "Is there a problem?" He chuckled. "This is my last mercy."

Although Liu Xie was laughing, and the laughter was not loud, Shi Sun Rui's heart tightened when he heard it.

He could hear that the emperor was not joking, this was indeed the emperor's bottom line.

He weighed it quickly, bowed and said: "I think it is very good. The people of Jizhou are martial arts and have a strong temperament. It is just to open up the territory for the great Han and make contributions."

Liu Xie rolled his eyes and looked at Jushou.

Although Jushou couldn't bear it, he had no choice but to bow down and accept the order, echoing Sun Rui's opinion.

"Then it's settled." Liu Xie pinched his fingers and made up his mind. "There is still half a month left for the autumn harvest, plus the food from the counties will be delivered to the camp, it will probably take another half a month. Within a month, they can take their time to think about it. After a month, the Northern Army should launch an attack, don't be caught Others take the lead."

"Wei." Shi Sun Rui took the order loudly.

Ju Shou's mood is a bit complicated.

The emperor gave Shenpei and Tian Feng a month to think about it, which shows that he has enough confidence to break through Yecheng, and he doesn't care whether Shenpei and Tian Feng are willing to surrender.But that's fine too, the judge is an upright person, if he is suddenly asked to surrender, he may not accept it.Give him a month to think, maybe he can figure it out.

"There is one more thing I want to ask you for advice." Liu Xie waved his hand, took out a volume of documents from his desk, and handed it to Shi Sun Rui. "This is the preface to the "Biographies of Danggu" written by Lantai. I am a little puzzled, and I hope you can explain it to me."

Liu Xie's thinking was too jumpy, and Shi Sunrui and Jushou couldn't keep up for a while, but they couldn't refuse, so they had to take it.

Shi Sunrui said, "What is your Majesty's puzzlement?"

"The preface says that the party started the dispute between Zhou Fu and Fang Zhi in Qinghe. Zhou Fu was just a minister, while Fang Zhi was Henan Yin. The official positions of the two were far apart. Why were they enemies? That's all. It's just Qinghe's northern and southern parties, how could it cause chaos in the world? Isn't the backbone of the party members from Ruying? How come the root is from Jizhou?"

Liu Xie suddenly laughed. "I didn't read the preface, but I really didn't expect that the origin of this party matter was in Jizhou. Speaking of which, Jizhou is indeed a big state in the world, and even Qinghe's township party infighting can cause such a big disturbance."

Ju Shou was very embarrassed, and explained: "Your Majesty, this is not a struggle within the Qinghe Township Party, but a distinction between pure and turbid."

Liu Xie asked back: "Who is pure and who is turbid? Zhou Fu is the emperor's teacher, and he is promoted to be a minister, so it is turbid? Fang Zhi has any commendable traces of governance, dare to call the rules of the world?"

Ju Shou frowned, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Shi Sunrui finished reading the preface, put it lightly on the case, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is right. It is presumptuous to use the words voicing and voicing to distinguish between the enemy and us. The matter of the party's imprisonment has a great impact and almost shakes the foundation of the country. You should reflect on it carefully. , as a lesson for future generations."

Chapter 927 Insinuation

When he first read the preface of "Biography of Danggu" and understood the cause of the Danggu incident, Liu Xie was shocked even though he was mentally prepared.

He knew that the Danggu incident was caused by Emperor Huan's teacher Zhou Fu, but he didn't know that Fang Zhi and Zhou Fu were both from Qinghe, which caused heavy losses to the Ruying people and finally broke with the imperial court. Infighting.

After reading the preface carefully, there are a few things that he doesn't quite understand.

One is that Zhou Fu can become the teacher of Marquis Liwu, even if he is not particularly outstanding in academics and character, he must not be too bad.Such a person, with such an opportunity, is it too much to be promoted to Minister?

At least this reward is insignificant compared to Hu Guang and others who were granted the title of marquis by virtue of their support.

The second is that Fang Zhi claims to be the rules of the world, so is this the quality of his disciples and guests?It doesn't look much better than Zhou Fu's.

More importantly, from the preface, he couldn't see anything wrong with Zhou Fu, nor could he see anything special about Fang Zhi.

Except for the so-called politeness.

But is it not the basic quality of a Confucian scholar to be courteous in movement and stillness? When did it become a commendable advantage?

Is it because there are too many scholars and hypocrites in the world, so it seems that Fang Zhi's movement and courtesy are precious?

Liu Xie didn't believe this.He believed that there was another mystery in it, but it was not mentioned in the preface.

He wanted to look for Fang Zhi's biography or resume, but he couldn't find it.Lan Tai didn't have a biography of Fang Zhi, but he did have experience.It can be seen from the resume that Fang Zhi became an official with a virtuous name, and his official career was prosperous.

Later he thought of one thing, since Fang Zhi was from Qinghe, he must be buried in Qinghe.With his reputation, there should be a tombstone, so he sent someone to Qinghe to check.

In the end, I did find Fang Zhi's tomb, and copied the tomb text.

Unexpectedly, the person who wrote the inscription for Fang Zhi was an acquaintance, Cai Yan's father Cai Yong.

As expected of being the number one master of inscriptions in the Han Dynasty, Cai Yong's works can be seen everywhere.However, thinking of his emotions when he wrote the tombstone for Guo Linzong, the credibility of Fang Zhi's inscription dropped a notch immediately.

Therefore, Liu Xie didn't pay much attention to this inscription, which was full of praise words but few specific deeds.

Taking advantage of Sun Rui and Jushou's arrival, he wanted to ask them about the difference between Fang Zhi and Zhou Fu.

He also didn't care much about Jushou's voicing.

Even if Fang Zhiqing, Zhou Fuzhuo, Zhou Fu regards the emperor as his minister, it seems that he can't affect Fang Zhi.

Fang Zhi was already Henan Yin at that time, and later became Gongqing.Compared with his official career, Zhou Fu is not worth mentioning, not even qualified to be Fang Zhi's opponent.

Facing Liu Xie's question, Shi Sun Rui gave an explanation.

Although Shangshu is a humble official, he is a close minister of the emperor.Zhou Fu was both the emperor's teacher and a close minister. He had a great influence on Emperor Xiaohuan.If Emperor Xiaohuan, like His Majesty, chose to cooperate with the ministers of the foreign courts instead of confronting them, and did not use the inner courts to suppress the outer courts, perhaps the matter would not be so serious.

For example, now, let alone your Majesty promoting a teacher to be a minister, even if you promote a woman to be a minister, I don't mind.

Liu Xie couldn't help but laugh at Shi Sun Rui's answer.

This old slicker, seemingly frank, actually meant something else.

After all, he still needs to rely heavily on the ministers of the foreign court, and stop doing the same thing that the inner court suppresses the outer court.

"The internal court and the external court have their own division of labor, and indeed there should be no infringement." Liu Xie smiled, and calmly countered Shi Sun Rui. "It's just that if the outer court is full of gentlemen like Fang Zhi, I'm afraid they won't be able to support the country of this big man. If they can really act with integrity and loyalty, why would there be a domineering general who has been in power for 20 years."

Shi Sun Rui's expression was a little embarrassed.

Ju Shou pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

Fang Zhi's character may be noble, but his talent is really limited.If one considers that he has worked with a domineering general like Liang Ji for more than ten years and still has a magnanimous official career, his moral character may have to be compromised.

It's not speculative, but they finished talking about "Danggu Biography" without a few words.

Sun Rui and Jushou got out of the account and walked side by side.

Shi Sunrui looked solemn and said nothing.

Ju Shou was a little restless, and instinctively followed Shi Sun Rui forward.

The two left the camp, and seeing Wang Duan being called in, Shi Sun Rui's eyes flickered slightly. "Let's go to Jizhou Yinfang to have a look."

Ju Shou had nothing to do, so he responded casually. "Dare not to obey."

-

Wang Duan entered the tent tremblingly, without even daring to lift his head, he knelt down in front of Liu Xie.

"Marquis Duting, Chen Duan, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Liu Xie glanced at him, and said lightly: "Cousin, get up, my family, there is no need to be formal."

Wang Duan felt relieved and stood up again.

"How have you been these past few years?" Liu Xie put down the pen in his hand, waved his hand again, and signaled the minister in charge of recording to go out.

Shangshu put down his pen, got up and went out.

Wang Duan grinned, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, everything is fine."

"tell me the story."

Wang Duan spoke happily.After returning from Chang'an, he buried his father, inherited the title, and took on the heavy responsibility of the family.Although it was hard work, it finally went well.In the past few years, the family has added children, and the industry has also increased a lot, which can be regarded as prosperous.

"Especially in the past two years, thanks to His Majesty's Tianwei, no one dared to bully my family. I married a wife the year before last. She was a woman from the Zhang family in Xiangcheng, and she gave birth to a son last year, so I have a successor."

Looking at the happy Wang Duan, Liu Xie felt awkward.

Marrying a woman from the Zhang family of Zhao State makes you so happy?You are a dignified relative of the state, if it is really useful, which family in the world cannot marry a woman?

"Is the Zhang family in Xiangcheng, Zhao Guo, a famous family?"

Wang Duan smiled triumphantly. "Your Majesty, the Zhang family in Xiangcheng of Zhao State is naturally a famous family, and the grandfather Zhang Boda, from the official to the Taiwei, is a famous official in the Xiaoshang Dynasty."

The more Liu Xie watched, the more angry he became, and he didn't want to perfunctory with Wang Duan any longer.

"Since you are a famous family, the dowry must be quite a lot, right? When you got married, did many people come to congratulate you, and there were a lot of congratulatory gifts, right? How much land do you have now?"

Hearing the word land, the smile on Wang Duan's face suddenly froze.

No matter how dull he is, he can see that the emperor is not in a good mood.

Reminiscent of what the new Handan Commander Zhuge Liang was doing, cold sweat broke out on Wang Duan's forehead.

"Too many, can't remember?" Liu Xie's face sank.

"Chen...Chen..." Wang Duan stammered, not knowing what to say.

Liu Xie snorted heavily: "The war is imminent, and it's time to employ people, so you should stay in the line. As for your family's land, Zhuge Liang will help you count it."

Wang Duan wanted to intercede, but for some reason, he dared not open his mouth.

From the moment he entered the account, he realized that the emperor in front of him was not the emperor he was familiar with. Not only was he taller and stronger, but he also had a majesty that was not there before.Even with a smile on his face and a quiet voice, people dare not be presumptuous.

If it wasn't for his appearance, he was vaguely familiar, and he would even feel that the emperor in front of him was another person.

"Wei... only."

Chapter 928

Sun Rui and Jushou came to Yinfang, Jizhou.

After receiving the news, Zhen Mi didn't dare to be negligent, and went out to greet her personally, and led the scholars Sun Rui and Ju Shou to visit the Yinfang, answering all questions.

After hearing the news, Bei Zhan also rushed over, and graciously introduced the situation in the workshop to Shi Sun Rui and Ju Shou, and specially took out the textbooks he compiled to ask them for advice.

Looking at the busy craftsmen, smelling the fragrance of ink, watching each piece of paper slipping through the hands of the craftsmen, printed with clear text, and then cut, bound and turned into a book in the hands of the craftsmen, Shi Sun The two of Rui were dumbfounded.

This is the first time for them to witness the printing process of Yinfang.

It turns out that the book was printed in this way, which is much more convenient than copying.

No wonder books can be so cheap that even ordinary people can afford them.

"Books are so cheap, can Yinfang still make money?" Shi Sun Rui couldn't help asking.

Zhen Mi pursed her lips and smiled. "These books are not meant to make money, but to keep their money. The money depends on the hardcover collections of anthology and poetry. Scholars have money, and they don't mind spending a lot of money to print a collection of works that can be hidden in famous mountains and passed on to future generations. "

"Since you don't make money, why are you printing so many?" Shi Sunrui pointed at the piles of new books.

"Although we don't make money, the common people need it." Zhen Mi picked up a book casually, opened a page, and handed it to Shi Sun Rui. "Master Sun Gong, please look at this. This is an excerpt from Anping Cui Zizhen's "Monthly Order of the Four People". People can use it to improve their own products and increase sales, and ordinary people can also make some sauce for themselves. In short, as long as they can use some, the money for buying books will be earned back.”

Sun Rui was very surprised. "So this is Cui's method of making sauce. It's the first time I've heard of it. Where did you find the manuscript?"

"It was passed on by a child of the Cui family." Zhen Mi said: "The Cui family in Anping had a deep relationship with Yuan Shao, and the loss was not small. The children of the clan took out the classics and treasures collected at home and sold them, and some of them were sold. I bought it."

"That's right." Shi Sun Rui frowned.

He and Cui Lie were colleagues in the past, and they had a pretty good relationship. They tasted Cui's privately made sauce and never forgot it.Now that I heard that Cui's children lived by selling their property, they naturally wanted to help.

Seeing this, Zhen Mi immediately guessed the friendship between Shi Sunrui and Cui Shi, and said with a smile: "Does Shi Sunrui know Cui Zhouping? He is the second son of Taiwei Cui, and now works in Chang'an Agricultural School. He has improved The sauce made by Cui’s family is now the top-grade sauce. It just happened that we just bought some in the workshop, and I will ask Mr. Sun to taste it later.”

Shi Sun Ruizheng had this intention and immediately agreed.

Jushou saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but secretly marveled.

He knew that Shi Sun Rui only wanted to come to Yinfang to have a look, and he had no plan to have dinner at Yinfang.But Zhen Mi was very clever, and with a few words, Shi Sun Rui's greed was aroused, and he happily stayed for dinner.

Shi Sunrui is going to be a captain in the future, I don't know how many people want to get close to Shi Sunrui but they can't get it, but Zhen Mi can do it easily.

Just like she did with Ma Jun back then.

-

After visiting Yinfang, Mr. Sun Rui had a working meal.

Zhen Mi didn't make special preparations, but Shi Sun Rui ate very satisfied.When he learned that most of the meals of the craftsmen and technicians in the workshop were like this, he was even more appreciative, happier than eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

During the dinner, the atmosphere was relaxed, Shi Sun Rui casually asked Zhen Mi's opinion on the current situation.

Zhen Mi is very modest, and bluntly said that she is in Yinfang every day, only knows the trivial details in front of her, and dare not express her opinion on the overall situation.

Under Shi Sunrui's repeated request, Zhen Mi thought for a moment, and said, "Unless there are no accidents, it will be the general trend to expand borders. The exile of people in Ye City seems to be punishment, but it is actually an opportunity."

“How come you see?”

"Land is limited, even if land is reclaimed, it cannot keep up with the increase in household registration. Once the world is peaceful, within 30 years, the problem of more people and less land will emerge again. Even if the agricultural school can increase the yield per mu and delay the conflict between people and land, After all, it can’t be cured.”

"But the price of expanding the border is very high. When Xiaowu opened up the frontier and expanded the border, the world almost collapsed."

"Of course the cost of expanding the border is high, but we can't stop doing it just because the cost is high." Zhen Mi said with a smile: "Perhaps we should consider now how to expand the border to minimize the cost."
