Chapter 441: Reward
In just one year of reform, Yuanshuo has achieved extraordinary results, and the world is clear and prosperous. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The amount of silk earned in a year alone is as much as 5 million horses, not to mention the hundreds of millions of financial revenues brought by the salt and iron official camps.
The reform of agriculture and mulberry is also quite effective, and all of them are full, and the millet of Taicang is full of dew and accumulation.
The predicament of the state's finances caused by years of vicious battles was solved in an instant.
Sang Hongyang was beaming when he entered the palace, and Gillian knew that he was finally relieved.
Gillian leaned against the window and read slowly with a book in her hand, and the sound of the children next door reading was heard in her ears.
The south wind wrapped in the fragrance of flowers is extremely gentle and warm, and it is slightly itchy on people's faces.
The early spring sun is not very strong, but the hair is slightly hot after a long time.
Gillian closed the silk book in her hand and got up to pull the curtain.
The sky was blue and translucent, and a very dazzling white light shook above the treetops.
The large and luxurious peony flowers in the courtyard were blooming brightly, and the snow lion ran through the courtyard in a gust of wind.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then a low, respectful man's voice rang out.
"The minister Sang Hongyang has been summoned to meet youβ"
Liu Che, who bowed to the head of the case, sighed lightly, put down the pen on the red sandalwood ebony pen holder, and looked at Sang Hongyang who came in and bowed down.
"I called you here to ask you about the state of the treasury now."
Sang Hongyang suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, looked at Liu Che's face and replied, "Three hundred and twenty billion dollars......
Seeing the satisfied look on the face of the Son of Heaven, he cautiously persuaded: "The increase this year is so large, mainly because the world is peaceful, and the reform ......"
Liu Che was a little amused and angry, pointed at Sang Hongyang and scolded: "Okay, don't put aside the words to hint at me." β
Sang Hongyang immediately leaned over and said, "The minister doesn't dare." β
Liu Che sighed and said, "I know what you mean, the world needs to develop, and the people need to live and work in peace and contentment."
How could I be willing to fightβ"
His eyes flashed like two sharp swords shooting straight at Sang Hongyang, "But everyone has ridden on your head, can you not beat him up and cry?" β
Liu Che angrily skimmed the few bamboo slips in his hand to Sang Hongyang, and said in a cold tone: "Take a look-"
Sang Hongyang picked up the bamboo slip in his hand and unfolded it, his brows couldn't help frowning, it was written that the Xiongnu Youxian King had attacked Shuofang many times.
Liu Che saw that he had seen almost, so he said again: "After the battle of Henan, in order to recover the losses. The Xiongnu sent troops to counterattack many times - in the summer of the third year of Yuan Shuo, 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry attacked Daijun, killed Taishou Gongyou, and killed and plundered 1,532 people. In the autumn, he entered Yanmen and killed and plundered 1,000 and 15 people. In the fourth year of Yuan Shuo, the Xiongnu sent 30,000 cavalry each to attack Daijun, Dingxiang, and Shangjun, killing and plundering 3,204 peopleββ"
His eyes were cold, and he said angrily: "This is all human life!" A living human life! I developed a prosperous country not to be killed and plundered by the Huns! β
Sang Hongyang was silent.
Liu Che calmed down and said, "I have made up my mind, and the battle is decided.
I called you here just to get your full cooperation, no problem? β
Sang Hongyang was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Of course it's no problem...... Can ......"
Liu Che didn't wait for Sang Hongyang's "but" and waved his hand and said, "No problem, just retreat." β
Sang Hongyang took a deep breath and had to retreat respectfully.
Gillian saw that Sang Hongyang's spirit was half drained in an instant, and she left listlessly, so she walked to Liu Che's side and said: "Sang Hongyang deals with money every day, and he is a little miser, don't worry about him." β
Liu Che was still a little angry in his heart for Sang Hongyang regardless of the overall situation, and he laughed when he asked Gillian to say this. "You're a muddy one."
Gillian turned her face and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's words are bad, Sang Hongyang is indeed a talented person, just say that the new coins he made, once issued, the wind of piracy and minting will fade for a while."
Didn't Your Majesty also boast and praise?
Those who can make money naturally understand the hardships better, and your majesty should be more forgiving if they are stingy. β
Speaking of which, Gillian also has to be convinced of Sang Hongyang's economic talent.
In the previous life, six currency reforms were exchanged for three officials and five baht coins, and in this life, Sang Hongyang was actually called in one step.
I heard that in order to make a satisfactory currency, Sang Hongyang worked hard in Shanglin Yuan for several months.
The bell official was directly in charge of casting, and the master of engraving was responsible for identifying copper, and was responsible for the supply of raw materials and the inspection of the fineness of copper.
The selection of new coins is strict, and the size and style of the coins are consistent, so that they are truly as important as the text.
The new five-baht coin spared no expense, private casting was difficult and unprofitable, and the ban was strict, so the wind of piracy and casting died down for a while.
The problem of currency confusion was resolved, and the value of the currency remained stable for a long time.
She fell like a butterfly, hugged Liu Che's neck and said, "Besides, isn't that dedicated to the public and saving you money?" β
There was a smile in Liu Che's jade-like eyes, but he still snorted coldly, "These fat children have never understood how important it is for the country's backbone to be straightened.
Blindly developing, but not having an iron heart, this is extremely terrifying.
And I want to forge the blood of the Han family! β
He raised his voice and instructed Chun Tuo at the door: "The general Wei Qing of the chariot cavalry, the guerrilla general Su Jian, the crossbow general Li Fu, the servant Gong Sun He, the acting minister Li Cai, the big luggage Xi, and the Marquis of the shore Zhang Cigong - enter the palace immediately to meet ββ"
Chun Tuo knew from listening to the list of generals' names that His Majesty finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to fight back.
He understood what was at stake, and turned and walked away in response.
Gillian stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is going to encourage the generals to mobilize, so I won't delay Your Majesty's deliberations here, let's go back with the two children first." β
Liu Che nodded, thought about it and said, "Leave Hui'er behind, he is the crown prince, and he has been exposed to these things since he was a child." β
Gillian paused for a moment, and saw that he insisted on saying good.
Liu Che didn't come back until dawn this night, obviously tired and sleeping heavily.
Gillian also took the opportunity to give the two children a day off to let them have a good time with the snow lions.
Liu Che slept until the afternoon before getting up, and after lunch, he watched the children play with Gillian in the court, chatting about what was discussed yesterday.
"The Huns were dissatisfied with the land of Henan being recovered by the Han for a long time, and the Hun cavalry has been frequently mobilized since the beginning of the year.
According to my estimate, the Huns intended to break through from Shuofang and take Kyoto directly. β
When he said this, his face was expressionless, very calm, only a cold light appeared in his eyes.
"Since they want to fight, then I think I might as well do it and beat them hard.
I have ordered Wei Qing to lead 30,000 cavalry from Gaoque to attack the right king for a long distance.
In order to cover up this intention, I ordered the guerrilla general Su Jian, the crossbow general Li Fu, the imperial servant Gongsun He to be the cavalry general, and the acting minister Li Cai to be the light car general from Shuofang; Da Bao Xi, the shore Hou Zhang Cigong as the general, led the troops from Youbeiping to cooperate with its actions. β
He let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky.
"The first emperor said that if you pour the strength of the country to fight the Huns, you will overcome them.
May God bless my great man! β
At the end of the conversation, although impassioned, there was some worry in the end.
After all, there are too many variables in a long-distance raid in the territory of the Xiongnu, and then a large-scale cavalry battle in the vast grassland.
Even if he was fully prepared, no one dared to say that the big man was foolproof until the last moment.
Liu Che can't guarantee it, but he needs to be more confident than anyone or even Wei Qing.
Once he wavered and hesitated a little, the consequences would be extremely serious.
It is only Gillian who can listen to him and worry about this, or only Gillian can go to his heart and listen to him talk about these government and military affairs without scruples.
Gillian held Liu Che's hand and smiled slightly, "We have won this battle, Your Majesty should think about how to reward Liu Che." β
Liu Che also smiled, there was nothing he couldn't do in Gillian's heart.
He hugged Gillian tightly, "What did Jiaojiao say about rewarding Wei Qing?" β
Gillian leaned on his arms and said with a smile: "This is something you should worry about, I will call me habitually, so I won't think about it for you." β
As he spoke, it seemed that the sound of good news had already come, and he was worried about the reward.
Liu Che's heart was turbid, and he laughed and said, "Okay, if you say no, what else can I do with you?" β
In late spring, an urgent military report came from the front.
At that time, Liu Che was riding a horse with his two children in Ting Middle School, and because the children were still young, they were riding ready-made snow lions.
The snow lion has been with the emperor since he was one year old, and when he was bound by the saddle bridle, but when he saw that the two little masters were happy, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
It was early afternoon, the sun was warm, and the whispers of spring swallows could be heard in the air.
Gillian stood under the porch and looked at Yuan Xuan with a smile, she hugged the face of the snow lion and comforted it not to be afraid before she was about to get on the horse.
The snow lion is not afraid, but she is a little afraid.
Children are really growing up and becoming faster.
Yuan Wei is only four years old, but he has already taken off his delicate and domineering attitude when he was a child, and has become soft and cute.
Chuntuo came from outside the hall quickly, and when he saw that the atmosphere was just right, he took a breath before he stepped forward and presented the military report with both hands.
Liu Chegang helped Yuan Shu onto the horse, turned around and took the silk book and opened it to read.
In an instant, his face was full of ecstasy, and he looked at Gillian and said, "Wei Qing has won!" β
Gillian was also overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward to take the military newspaper in Liu Che's hand and read it.
Wei Qing chased the Xiongnu for 700 miles, captured more than 10 Xiongnu royal families, including King Youxian, more than 15,000 men and women, and tens of millions of animals.
Since then, the Xiongnu have been divided into two parts, east and west, and they are no longer able to pose a threat to the Han Dynasty!
What a big win!
Wei Qing is really as good at fighting as in his previous life!
Liu Che's heart was surging, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the banner of the Han Dynasty waving in the wind.
Tens of thousands of cavalry rolled forward, and the earth trembled in the smoke and dust.
The cold light of the swords, the neighing of the war horse.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Liu Che Huoran opened his eyes, his eyes full of joy.
"Prepare an edict now! Send an envoy! Holding the seal of the general, to the army to worship the general of the car and cavalry Qing as the general, all the generals are generals! Execute it now! Right away! Right away!!! β
In this big victory, Wei Qing worshiped as a general with military merits.
As for the servants, as usual, they protected the army and the school, captured the enemy king, and made him a marquis; Duwei Han said that he fought bravely, captured the enemy king, and was named the Marquis of Longlu; Li Cai, the general of the light car, captured the enemy king and was named the Marquis of Le'an; Captain Li Shuo was named the Marquis of Zhiyi, Zhao Buyu was the Marquis of Suicheng, and Gongsun Rongnu was the Marquis of Congping......
The world was shaken, but Liu Che was still insufficient, and he talked to Gillian for a few days to reward Wei Qing again.
Gillian smiled, thinking that it was no wonder that all the generals in the future would like to be born in the Han Dynasty.
As soon as Liu Che dares to employ people, there is no doubt about employing people, and he will not be constrained in the slightest and has full authority to deal with them.
Second, Liu Che rewarded the generals, and he was never stingy with his title treasures.
Thirdly, Liu Che is broad-minded, and there is no worry about the master.
She breathed a sigh of relief, found a more comfortable position in Liu Che's arms and closed her eyes, "My majesty, this person hasn't come back yet, so you're in a hurry." β
Liu Che smiled and hugged Gillian and said, "I think I'm annoyed, right-okay-don't talk about it, wait for Wei Qing to come back-"
Half a month later, Wei Qing finally returned to Chang'an City in Liu Che's expectation, and before he could go home to meet his pregnant wife, he entered the palace for an audience.
Speaking of which, just because of the prosperity of the heirs, Wei Qing can't help but envy him.
He and Xue Wu got married in the first month of the second year of Yuan Shuo, and Xue Wu had a happy letter in June.
In April of the third year of Yuan Shuo, Xue Wu gave birth to her eldest son and named him Wei Yan.
In October of this year, Xue Wu was pregnant for the second time, and Yuan Shuo gave birth to a second son in August of the fourth year, named Bu Doubt.
In the first month of this year, she was pregnant again, and now she is pregnant.
Every time Guan Tao talks about Snow Dance, he hates Gillian very much.
"This is really three years of hugging......"
Speaking of which, I think that Gillian is now thirty-three years old, and the risk of childbirth is too great.
Thinking of Chen Wu to her, I don't know how many times I want to cherish the blessings, Gillian is now a pair of children who are healthy and healthy.
swallowed the words back, "If only this baby were a daughter, Xue Wu would have both children and daughters." β
Gillian was a little funny, she still didn't know what Guantao meant.
Even if her position is stable at the moment, her glory is infinite, and no one can shake it.
Guantao still has to worry about her and worry about her.
It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world!
Liu Che also thought so, he thought about it and thought that it was better to reward Wei Qing's children.
After adding 6,000 households of Weiqing Shiyi, the eldest son Wei was named the Marquis of Yichun, and the second son Wei was undoubtedly the Marquis of Yin'an, with an average of 1,500 households.
With such a generous reward, Wei Qing is cautious by nature, even if he leans over in fear and refuses to accept it.
"The minister can have today, thanks to the love of His Majesty and the Queen, he was able to lead the troops to fight, and he can make some achievements.
The minister's two sons are still young, but they have not made an inch of merit but can be made a marquis and enjoy food, and the minister is really ashamed. β
Liu Che knew that he would insist on resigning, so he didn't allow him to say more at the moment, and said categorically: "The generals who follow your expedition have already been rewarded for all their merits, so you don't have to have any scruples."
Besides, that's what you deserve.
It's just that I think about it, but I still think it's better to give it to you than to give it to the children.
Their fathers fought bloodily for the Han family, and they deserve this unique reward. β
Wei Qing saw that the Son of Heaven was firm, so he had to thank him again and again before he was sincerely frightened.
