Han Dao world

She was born in a poor family, and her thinking is single-line, so she can't understand the difficulties of the big family.Zhen Mi has five sisters alone, plus her father's family and mother's family, there are hundreds of people, big and small.

Is it like those aristocratic families who were just exiled?

It takes half a life to move, let alone moving thousands of miles away.

Therefore, the Western Expedition cannot be the cause of everyone, it can only be a historical responsibility that can only be undertaken by those who have more dedication than concern.He reformed the military service system and made recruitment a part of it to prepare for the future Western Expedition.

Those who apply must not only have the ambition to make contributions, but also have the consciousness to bear the consequences, and they must be responsible for their own choices, and the state cannot pay all the bills.

It is unrealistic to pour all the power of a country into the west like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is unbearable economically and politically.

Zhen Mi obviously didn't have such an awareness yet, so let her stay in the Central Plains.

After chatting with Lu Xiaohuan and Zhen Mi for a while, Liu Xie came to Queen Fushou's room.

Fu Shou was settling accounts, and when he saw Liu Xie coming in, he stood up to greet him and said with joy, "Your Majesty, the harvest of the weaving workshop has tripled this year, and the new loom is really useful. If it weren't for the shortage of raw silk , maybe even more.”

"Then you have money." Liu Xie sat down, picked up the eldest son of the emperor, and put him on his lap.

"What do the concubines want money for? These are all for His Majesty." Fushou said, stopping the Qiao sisters who were about to prepare tea. "You are all nobles, how can you let you do these things, let others do it."

Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, but Daqiao said: "Your Majesty and Your Highness are here, why should others come to serve you? We should serve you. Your Highness will accompany His Majesty to speak, and leave the rest to us." I went to the small bridge that was a little stunned.

Fu Shou was very satisfied. "After all, Daqiao is an older sister who is the best at caring for others."

Liu Xie agreed.Daqiao is stable and Xiaoqiao is delicate and naive, with very different personalities.

He flipped through the ledger, happy in his heart.This textile industry is indeed a shortcut to enter the gate of industrialization, which can not only absorb a large amount of labor, but also generate enough profits to provide impetus for upgrading and iteration.

Daying first realized the industrial revolution, which has a lot to do with the textile industry.

But a big man is not a big man, he has a unique high-profit product—silk, it doesn’t matter if the cost is a little higher, and there is no need to resort to low-level methods of cannibalism.But after the war, the lack of household registration also made the application of new technology profitable.

The loom improved by Ma Jun has now been iterated three times. In order to reduce manpower, some places have even begun to consider hydraulic looms, and the dawn of automation is about to appear.

"How do you plan to solve the problem of insufficient raw silk?"

"The shortage of raw silk is mainly due to the limited production of mulberry leaves and oak leaves. The concubine discussed with Mr. Xun Gui and wanted to cooperate with the agricultural school to see if they could do something to increase the production of mulberry leaves and oak leaves."

Liu Xie thought for a while, and told Fushou about the research findings of Jiangwutang on saltpeter.

He remembered that the main ingredient of saltpeter is potassium nitrate, which can not only be used as explosives, but also the main ingredient of chemical fertilizers.

The upgrading of agriculture is inseparable from chemical fertilizers. Without the upgrading of the chemical industry, the upgrading of agriculture is impossible.

He couldn't speak in such detail or depth, but Fushou had a need in this regard. As long as he provided a clue, the people of the Agricultural School would naturally explore and experiment.

If it succeeds, the food production will be guaranteed.

With more food, more people can be fed.With more people, other developments are possible.

Sure enough, Fu Shou was very interested and immediately asked Xun Wenqian to come.

While coaxing the baby, the three discussed the possible effects of saltpeter, and estimated how much the weaving workshop's income would increase after the production of raw silk was guaranteed, and how long it would take to raise enough money and food for Xizheng.

Xun Yun is in the Western Regions, and Xun Wenqian is quite enthusiastic about it.

Accompanied by Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu came to Situ Mansion together.

Yang Biao was still busy ahead, so he went to the backyard to meet his sister, Mrs. Yuan.Brother and sister meet, can't help feeling a little embarrassed.Knowing that Yuan Shu had met Yuan Tan, Mrs. Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shu was dissatisfied, he asked Mrs. Yuan, was this case independently undertaken by the Sikong Mansion, and did the Situ Mansion participate in it?Why was it dealt with so severely that even Yuan Tan was exiled.

When Mrs. Yuan heard this, she knew that Yuan Shu was holding back her anger and that she might find trouble with Zhou Zhong, so she couldn't help but smile wryly.

"It's Zhou Zhong who suffers the most from this case."

"Is he uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Yuan told what happened.This is not a secret to the local officials, but to the local officials, the truth of this matter has not been spread, and many people do not know how much role the Son of Heaven plays in it.

After listening to Mrs. Yuan's narration, Yuan Shu realized that the person who really decided the direction was not Zhou Zhong, but the Son of Heaven. Apart from being discouraged, he was also a little upset, so he couldn't help but sneered.

"I didn't expect that this skeletal minister would have the same confession as me. I thought he would be upright for a lifetime."

"What do you know?" Yang Biao walked in from the outside and gave Yuan Shu an angry look. "You admit cowardice for the sake of one family and one surname. Zhou Jia seeks power for the sake of the entire Confucian school."

Yuan Shu disagreed.

Yuan Yao stood up and saluted.

Yang Biao glanced at Yuan Yao. "Boyang, you have always been around the emperor, you should know the whole story, why don't you explain a thing or two to your father?"

Yuan Yao showed a slight smile. "It's not that my father doesn't understand, it's just that he doesn't want to give up his elder brother Xiansi, so there is no need to explain."

Yang Biao laughed twice. "You are filial, and you know how to cover up for him. I'm afraid he really doesn't understand, and there will be some troubles. Last time Liu Jingsheng was angry to death, that's all. If he is angry with Zhou Jiamou again, the Yuan family in Runan will be in the future. The Confucianism School will not be able to gain a foothold."

Yuan Shu's cheeks twitched, but he didn't dare to speak.

He knew that Liu Biao's death made many scholars dissatisfied, even Yang Biao, who didn't have a particularly good impression of Liu Biao.But in the final analysis, the fundamental reason those people don't like him is because he presided over the drawing of the Luoyang scroll.

How many of those who have mansions in Luoyang City have not overstepped?In terms of etiquette, there are less than eleven people who have a clear conscience like Yang Biao, and most of them have more or less violated the etiquette they professed.

It's just that everyone is like this, so no one takes it seriously.

Now that he has exposed this matter, he has also painted those illegal mansions into scrolls, printed them all over the world, and left them for future generations, so that the hypocrisy of countless people has been exposed, how can he not become angry from shame.

Thousands of people point at it, but die without illness.He had already thought about this consequence.

It was precisely because of this that he was annoyed at not being able to keep Yuan Tan.

Chapter 1137

Yang Biao asked Yuan Shu why he came here.

Yuan Shu couldn't say that he made a special trip to see Yuan Tan off, but only said that "Luoyang Picture Scroll" was completed and he came to report to the emperor.

Yang Biao frowned slightly, and asked about the situation of the "Luoyang Picture Volume", and learned that those with obvious violations of the system were drawn into the map, and only a small number of people with minor problems were let go, he sighed several times.

This is a major blow to Confucianism, and its power is no less powerful than the biographies of party members who are still being compiled.

After all, the party members are only some Confucian scholars, and even within the Confucian school, there are not a few people who oppose the extreme behavior of the party members.However, it is a common phenomenon for officials in Beijing to overrun the residence system. It is aimed at the entire Confucian school, and it directly points at the weakness of the Confucian school-hypocrisy.

This has severely challenged the legitimacy of Confucianism.

A hypocrite who does not match his words and deeds, what qualifications do he have to claim to be moral and make irresponsible remarks to others?

While the Son of Heaven said that he wanted to revive the Confucianism, he ruthlessly dug into the foundation of the Confucianism, and even said plausibly that he was treating diseases for the Confucianism.

Sometimes, he even wished that the emperor would go west now and never come back.

It was with this wish that they accepted the request of the emperor, severely punished the returnees, sentenced hundreds of families of the Central Plains gentry to exile, and sent them to the Western Regions to prove that the Sangong was capable of governing the country according to the law without the emperor's intervention.

Immediately after the verdict on the case of fugitive and return, they began to discuss the principles of legislation, and they wanted to hang the emperor down, and the three princes asked about politics to form a system, so as to prevent the emperor from going back on his word.

This step must be taken, and the sooner the better.Every day of delay has the potential to cause greater losses.

Seeing Yuan Shu, Yang Biao felt more urgent.

Although Confucianism has a large number of people, it is not monolithic.There are too many people like Yuan Shu who betray righteousness and beg for mercy from the emperor for the sake of family and personal self-interest, and they may strike back at any time.

"The drawing of "Luoyang Scroll" is completed, has the emperor assigned you a new task?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, let me rest in Wancheng for a few days first, and say that I will discuss it with San Gong before making a decision."

Yang Biao nodded slightly. "Then do you have any ideas for yourself?"

Yuan Shu smiled wryly. "I have an idea, can it count?"

"Can you count it and talk about it, first tell me what you think?"

Yuan Shu thought for a while, then turned to look at Madam Yuan.Madam Yuan stared. "My family, there is nothing to hide. If you have any ideas, just say it, as long as you can help you, you will naturally help you. If you can't help, then there is no way."

Yuan Shu gritted his teeth. "If possible, I want to be a prefect, and the governor is also fine."

Yang Biao's eyes flickered slightly. "Haven't thought about commanding troops?"

"Commander?" Yuan Shu was taken aback, his eyes widened. "Do you think I can lead the army?"

"Yes, Yan Liang, the head of Hebei's four court pillars, died in your hands?"

"..." Yuan was at a loss for words, staring at Yang Biao and looking again and again, trying to see whether Yang Biao was teasing himself or... teasing himself.

What he wanted to talk about wasn't Yan Liang, but Yuan Shao, right?

Although he had served as a general of Huben Zhonglang, counting from the time when he escaped from Luoyang in the autumn of the sixth year of Zhongping and came to Nanyang, to the time when he resigned as Youzhou Muzhi, he had only two achievements that could be mentioned.

One is to kill Yan Liang, and the other is to capture Yuan Shao.

"Boyang is not good at martial arts, so I'm afraid you won't be able to take the road of joining the army. You have some experience in the army, so joining the army is not impossible." Yang Biao continued: "The Son of Heaven is going to march west, and he is recruiting strong men who are willing to accompany you. Didn't you think about it? If you can go to the Western Regions to command troops, you will also have the opportunity to take care of Brother Xiansi in the future, so that they will suffer less."

Mrs. Yuan felt that it was reasonable, and became enthusiastic, and persuaded Yuan Shu to think about it.

Yang Biao also said that hundreds of noble families in the Central Plains were implicated and exiled to the Western Regions this time.These people will definitely stick together when they arrive in the Western Regions, otherwise they will surely die.A group needs a core, and the most suitable person who can act as this core right now is Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu is a rascal, his women are all good.Yuan Heng was demoted at this time, and everyone thought it was because of the letter, and there were not a few people who were grateful to her.If Yuan Shu can go west, those people should be able to accept him.And he can speak in front of the emperor, and can be the link between the two.

"The emperor will let me become their core?"

"Do you think the Son of Heaven is worried about a group of bereaved dogs?" Yang Biao asked back. "If he is really worried, he can still exile them to the Western Regions?"

Yuan Shu rolled his eyes, thought about it for a long time, clicked his tongue, shook his head and sighed again and again.

"You monarchs and ministers are plotting against each other. It's really amazing. I'm so stupid that I can't keep up with you. It's better to hide my clumsiness."

Yang Biao said unceremoniously: "You don't need to plan, just be obedient."

"I'll think about it." Yuan Shu begged for mercy.

He really couldn't keep up with his train of thought, he was afraid that Yang Biao would trick him, so he had to go back and think about it.

Yang Biao did not object.This is not a trivial matter, and indeed it should be seriously considered.But in order to convince Yuan Shu, he made some explanations.

Under the premise that the emperor's westward expedition has reached a consensus, many people have formed an opinion.

The Confucian school is good at maintaining success, but not good at starting a business. Things like opening up territories should be done by aggressive and brave men.The Son of Heaven reformed military service, and recruiting soldiers who are willing to go to the Western Regions in the form of recruiting is definitely better than forcing ordinary people to be recruited.

Limited by finances, the number of recruits is limited, better training, and better ordnance have become necessary.

Therefore, Tianzi's business development and the construction of the martial arts hall all have this aspect in mind.It can be seen from this that the idea of ​​the emperor's westward expedition has long been there, and his foresight is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Today's success is not accidental, and future success is not impossible.

Based on this understanding, many people are considering sending brave and promising children from the clan to follow the expedition, not only to assist the emperor, to serve the great cause of Confucianism, but also to increase choices for the future of the family.

From another perspective, sending these forces who are inherently restless to the status quo to fight in distant places is also to eliminate hidden dangers and contribute to the realization of long-term peace and stability.

Some people even say that if Xiaohuan and Xiaoling had had such ambitions, the contradiction between household registration and land would not have been intensified, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion would not have developed into a chaos that shook the foundation of the country.

Although the Son of Heaven has temporarily resolved the conflict with the support of the Xiliang Army, the Son of Heaven forcibly saved the land, but with the passage of time, the increase in household registration will exceed the capacity of the cultivated land sooner or later, and expanding the territory may be an option.

Since it is unavoidable, it is better to actively promote it.

The more Yuan Shu heard it, the less he liked it.

Although Yang Biao didn't say it clearly, the meaning inside and outside the words was very clear. He was that kind of hopeless black sheep.Instead of letting him stay in the Central Plains to make trouble, it is better for him to go to the Western Regions.It's not so much a meritorious deed, as it is a misfortune.Whether he can make contributions is not important, the important thing is not to add chaos to the Central Plains.

Unable to restrain himself, he asked Yang Biao a question.

"Do you think that all of us follow the emperor to the west, and those who remain are modest and gentlemen, so that the Central Plains will be peaceful?"

Chapter 1138: Father and Son Meet

Yang Biao frowned slightly, and looked at Yuan Shu for a moment.

“How come you see?”

Yuan Shu knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he didn't want to say it again.But being disgusted by Yang Biao for a long time, the resentment in his chest couldn't be calmed down, so he simply vomited quickly.

"Zhang Zibu practiced the kingly way, and the court did not interfere, but what was the result?"

Yang Biao said lightly, "What happened to Bohai?"

"What's wrong with Bohai?" Yuan Shu stared at Yang Biao for a while, his eyes widened, then he suddenly smiled and pointed at Yang Biao. "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk. You are all smart people, but I am a fool. Let's go, stay here!"

After speaking, he stood up, shook his sleeves, and walked away.

Madam Yuan was very surprised, and hurriedly asked Yuan Shu to stay for dinner.Yuan Shu ignored her and disappeared in a flash.

Madam Yuan was very upset. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Is it necessary to quarrel like this when we meet?"

Yang Biao ignored her, frowning even tighter.

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuan became uneasy. "Husband, what's wrong with Bo Hai?"
