At night, after finalizing the ban on 'martial arts', the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty had no sleep, and talked nonsense for a while, and then talked about extraterritorial things. Du Ruhui seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "Shengshang, the winter of the grassland is earlier than ours, normally speaking, it snows in mid to late November on our side, and it snows in October in the eastern/Turkic region. Every abnormal year, many tribes in the north do not prepare winter materials, and many people and animals will freeze to death...... Not long ago, some tribal chiefs commissioned a business trip, saying that the grassland started spring more than a month earlier this year, and the cold winter will not only mention, but also very long. They begged our court to allow them to spend the winter at the foot of the Great Wall, and with the city wall to block the wind and snow, it was easy to stay up a little. ”

Yang Tong asked, "When did the Turks become so honest?" ”

Du Ruhui said speechlessly: "In previous years, we have been beating them and killing hundreds of thousands of people, they are afraid of Sui like tigers, how dare they send them to the door to kill us?" Now that our dynasty has included the ten miles beyond the Great Wall into the scope of attack, those who enter will be killed, so that almost no one dares to approach it except in front of the gate where passage is allowed. ”

"What a bunch of cheap bones." Yang Tong shook his head and asked again, "Then why didn't you ask us last year?" ”

"Last year, there was not much snow and wind, and they will get over it." Du Ruhui has been engaged in diplomacy for many years, and said in a few words: "In fact, before the current dynasty, every winter, Turkic chieftains and nobles would enter the border states to avoid wind and snow before heavy snowfall, which was the custom. ”

"What about the herdsmen of their tribe?" Yang Tong suddenly became interested.

"This one definitely won't work." Du Ruhui said: "They have so many tribes, a small tribe has thousands of people, such as Jieli Headquarters, Ashina Silu Headquarters, Xue Yantuo, Qibi This big tribe has tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people, this is going to enter the city, so what is it?" ”

After Yang Tong understood, he frowned and said: "Now that my Great Sui territory is vast, there is a border line of more than 14,000 miles in the north, in order to avoid the invasion of foreign races in the north, our army is unable to defend against it, so I used hundreds of thousands of slaves to build the new Great Wall." The ten-mile sphere of influence beyond the Great Wall is a strategic buffer zone demarcated for the border army, and there is also a time to prepare for the accident. Now the alien races around us are crawling and scared by us, and even if they go into the city for the winter, they don't dare to do anything. But what about later? I am afraid that after the formation of the convention, the border army will become accustomed to it, neglect to take precautions, and if they are not careful, they will occupy strategic places, and this example must not be opened, and future generations will not be able to do so. ”

"What the Holy Lord said is that the Second Emperor of Wenwu was benevolent and righteous to the East/Turks, but they have only been two generations, and they have shown their hideous true colors, and the ambition of alien wolves cannot be agreed even if they freeze to death." Wei Zheng agreed.

Yang Tong pondered for a long time, and then said: "But the foreign races around the Great Sui all respect me as a saint khan, and they pay a lot of tribute every year, and it seems unreasonable to prevent them from entering the country for the winter, and the grassland seems to be barren, but in fact, there are many resources that can be collected, among which war horses, cattle and sheep, and livestock skins are all needed by the people of the Central Plains, and it is precisely because of the large influx of these items in the grassland that the people of the Great Sui can buy them at a low price." Befriending them will do more good than harm to improving the people's lives. ”

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Saint, Weichen has a way to get the best of both worlds. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The way is to choose a place on the grassland to build a city."

Yang Tong said unhappily: "Emperor Wen mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to build a city for the Qimin Khan, and also sent Zhao Zhongqing of the Pillar State to guard 20,000 troops to protect it, and sent the governor of Daizhou to lead 10,000 foot riders to guard Heng'an as a wing. The result? ”

Raising the Eastern/Turkic into a tiger was the biggest failure in Emperor Wen's brilliant life. Yang Tong will never make the mistakes of his predecessors again, and he plans to spend a few years planning after reunification, starting from the four major aspects of military, politics, economy, and education.

Du Ruhui said unhurriedly: "When Weichen reviewed the file, he found that the rise of Qimin had nothing to do with Emperor Wen, and it was entirely the fault of the generals at that time, who did bad things with good intentions and ruined Emperor Wen's plans. ”

Yang Tong was puzzled and asked, "What does Keming mean by this?" ”

"Emperor Wen built a city for Qimin Khan and sent troops to protect him, because he wanted to support him to fight against Dulan Khan and Datou Khan, so that the three kingdoms of the steppe would be established and fall into protracted civil strife." Speaking of this, Du Ruhui smiled bitterly: "But King Wei Zhao, Yang Su, and Shi Wanzai are so powerful that they have crawled the hundreds of thousands of troops of Dulan Khan and Datou Khan in the blink of an eye; And the eldest grandson Sheng saw that everyone had made great contributions, and the hot-headed provoked Turkic civil strife, which led to Du Lan being killed and Datou fleeing, which made Du Lan and Datou all belong to Qimin Khan one by one, and before Emperor Wen could react, Qimin became the overlord of one party, and then the Xi, Xia, Khitan, and Muwei departments in the east were all submissive, so that Qimin became the final winner. According to the dossier, Emperor Wen lost his temper afterwards, and did not praise him in annoyance, Shi Wansui stated several times, Emperor Wen was furious, scolded them for being short-sighted, and did stupid things that were meritorious in the present and sinful in the future. And at every turn, he led the troops out of the fortress to rob, and King Wei Zhao, who was sacrificed for his teeth, was also dismissed by Emperor Wen as the governor of Liangzhou and entered the court to serve as a minister. ”

Yang Tong and the others twitched their cheeks for a long time, according to this line of thought, it will be bad if the generals under their command are too good at fighting, and the emperor will also be worried? It seems that his generals are also very capable of fighting, and when they fight abroad in the future, they have to be heavily advised, so as not to make wedding dresses for others in order to fight to the death.

After a long time, Yang Tong, who was shocked by this secret news, asked: "Then do you have a follow-up plan for building the city?" ”

"What Weichen means is that we send good craftsmen to design four big cities in the north of Yinshan Mountain in places that are easy to attack and difficult to defend, one for Ashina Silu, one for Ashina Bush, one for Yi Nan, and one for Qibi He Li, the distance between the four cities is not far or close, and then let the grassland people build it themselves...... Hey. The people of the steppe all lived a nomadic life, living in pursuit of water and grass, and if they had a city north of Yinshan, sooner or later they would be made up because of a sheep and a cow. Du Ru said with a wicked smile.

Yang Tong only felt that his temples were beating suddenly, Du Ruhui was too insidious.

Glancing at him, he nodded solemnly and said, "As a saint Khan respected by the world, I do have the obligation to provide a better living environment for the Turks, so let's do it according to this method!" It's only mid-May, and as long as there is enough manpower in Saibei, it will definitely be repaired well before winter comes. ”

"Yes, the Turks have always lived in tents, and it is enough to build a big city with the word 'Tian', and in order to avoid wasting manpower, material resources and time, it is enough to ram the earth of the city wall." Wei Zheng also said.

"After the completion of the Tucheng, we can go to open a school palace, and we only need to open a literary college, a Taoist college, and a Buddhist college, the literary college teaches Confucianism, and the Taoist college teaches the escapist thought of doing nothing; The Buddhist Academy specializes in teaching the noble Dharma of not fighting back and scolding, and exchanging the suffering of this life for the blessings ......of the next life," Ling Jing added: "In addition, choose the high market in the south of the city, so that I can purchase goods from the merchants in a unified manner. ”

"......" Liu Renliang opened his eyes and looked at these three Shangshu with admiration.

Yang Tong thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Not bad, yes, just handle it like this; Tomorrow, I will send a letter to the eagle to return to Luoyang, so that the officials of the Ministry of Rites can discuss with the envoys stationed in Sui, they need to go back to the grassland to report, this time and again, it is too much of a waste of time. To save time, aim to fix it before winter arrives. Just send the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to accompany them,"

"Obey." Ling Jing responded.

"Please give the names of these four cities." Wei Zheng hugged his fists.

"They are called Peace City, Peace City, Friendship City, and Anle City, and it doesn't matter who the names are assigned to."

"Whoa."

"It's not early, we have to hurry tomorrow, let's go back and rest." Seeing that the time was not early, Yang Tong issued an eviction order.

"Wechen retired."

"The last will be retired."

The people got up, saluted, and left.

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Yang Tong, who returned to the dormitory, was refreshed, the feeling of suffering from gains and losses was swept away, he felt that he was a little cheap, obviously he wanted to give himself a vacation, obviously he didn't want to manage government affairs, but if he didn't deal with government affairs for a day, his heart was empty, this time, it also made him think of Su Wei who was rejected by him, that old guy has been in politics all his life, and he has been up and down all his life, people in their eighties still want to be officials, maybe the current Su Wei is not an official fan, but suddenly has no power and is at a loss, I want to find something to do, but his reputation is too stinky, and Yang Tong is already an extrajudicial favor if he doesn't kill him, so how can he use this kind of person.

In the sleeping tent, Wei Fengwu, Shui Tianji, and Yin Mingyue were chatting, and the three girls had changed into white robes, under the light of candlelight, their personal figures were graceful, and their waterfall-like black hair was scattered on their shoulders, like jade skin with a layer of luster.

The content of their chatter is related to marching battles, usually Wei Fengwu is asking, Shui Tianji and Yin Mingyue replied, presumably this woman is fascinated by the 'contemporary woman', so she focuses on learning some combat details from her two younger sisters, so as not to go to the battlefield in the future and become a burden to Yang Tong. However, Shui Tianji and Yin Mingyue were obviously not optimistic, and they exaggerated the cruelty and hardship of the battlefield very tacitly, but Wei Fengwu felt that she could.

Seeing Yang Tong coming back, the three sisters hurriedly got up to greet each other.

"You're leaving early tomorrow morning, and you haven't rested yet?" Yang Tong sat down.

"It's still early." Wei Fengwu said and asked, "Husband, where is the fleet?" ”

"They have already crossed Ha Duong, and they will be able to catch up in one night." This time it is land and water, the people who take the waterway first take a boat in Luoyang, go east along Luoshui, transfer to Luokou to transfer to a warship that can not enter Luoshui, and then trace the Yellow River westward, enter the Guangtong Canal in Tongguan, because of a circle, the speed is naturally not as good as the land team that goes west directly, Yang Tong's child is also on the boat, since the birth of the child, Wei Fengwu has never left, obviously misses the child, he asked with a smile: "Miss the child?" ”

"Not really." Wei Fengwu flatly denied:

Yang Tong saw that her big wet eyes, as if she could speak, were full of worry, and she smiled at the moment and pinched her soft cheeks, "Dulicitous girl." ”

Shui Tianji and Yin Mingyue snickered.

"Nasty." Wei Fengwu pushed Yang Tong's hand away and said angrily: "I really didn't miss the child. I don't know how comfortable and comfortable I am without those little guys. ”

She seemed to feel unconvincing, and said: "If you don't believe it, ask your martial concubine if she wants to?" ”

"I don't want to at all." Hearing Shui Tianji say this, Wei Fengwu blinked, as if to say, 'Tianji doesn't want to, and I don't want to'. Unexpectedly, Shui Tianji said again: "But I don't know who it is, I just kept reading." ”

"Traitor ......" Wei Fengwu's face turned red, biting her crystal lip, and glaring at Shui Tianji with grief and indignation.

Yang Tong laughed, "What's so embarrassing about thinking about my own child, I want to too." ”

"I'm not afraid that you will go back on your word and not agree to take me to war." Wei Fengwu simply told the truth.

"No, don't worry. The key is that you have to pass the assessment yourself. Yang Tong leaned on the marching collapse, his spirit relaxed suddenly, looked at Yin Mingyue, and ordered: "When you train tomorrow morning, don't open the net just because Xiao Wu is the queen." ”

"Whoa." Yin Mingyue also knew that it was not a joke, if it was treated differently, it would not be love but harm, so she responded to it.

At this time, Wei Fengwu said again: "By the way, when it comes to children, I think of a very important thing. ”

Yang Tong asked lazily, "You say." ”

Wei Fengwu said: "It's about children's reading, since Taifu made the ancients, there are no famous teachers in Hongwen Hall; I heard the emperor's grandmother say that Li Gang is a famous Confucian all over the world, and this person is upright. Many powerful families want their children to worship him as a teacher, and there are many powerful children in the palace, so I want him to enter the palace to teach the children together. ”

Li Gang?

Yang Tong ran clean with a slight drowsiness, stood up with a rolling belt, and stared at his daughter-in-law with twitching cheeks: "Li Gang, which Li Gang?" ”

"Li Gang is the Li Gang of the Tsinghua Academy Palace." Wei Fengwu was afraid that Yang Tong would not know, so he introduced seriously: "When Li Gang was young, he was known for his generosity and uprightness, and he was quite praised by the people of the time, and served as Yu Wenxian's army in the Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Xuan of Zhou was afraid of Yu Wenxian's high rank and fame, so he wanted to put him to death, so he summoned his subordinates and asked them to fabricate the charges of their superiors. Most people were forced by the emperor's power and did not dare to disobey, but Li Gang swore to die. After Yu Wenxian was killed, it was Li Gang who risked his head to help collect the body and bury it. After this incident, both inside and outside the government and the opposition respected Li Gang, including Emperor Gao Zuwen, who had not yet become emperor. This person has outstanding talents and good personality and morality, and later repeatedly angered Yang Su and Su Wei, and was unwilling to be with them, but was framed by the two of them, and was finally forced to resign. ”

"I know this Li Gang, he is upright and has a strong backbone, and he is also very knowledgeable, do you know why I transferred him to Yecheng as a sacrifice wine in the Tsinghua Academy?"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that he will have an intersection with the children."

"Husband," Yin Mingyue also said at this time, "When I was still in Daxing before, General Wei and my father were full of praise for him, what are you afraid of him?" ”

Yang Tong said: "Of course it's because, of course, it's because he's the prince killer." ”

"Prince Killer?" The three women looked at each other.

"Emperor Gao Zuwen admired Li Gang's courage and righteousness, talent and morality, so he appointed him as the crown prince to wash horses and assist Yang Yong, the king of Fangling, who was deposed; My grandfather asked him to teach my father, but my father later fell ill and died. When Yang Tong said this, his tone was stunned, and he smiled: "After my father died of illness, the imperial grandfather handed over more than 20,000 of my father's subordinate officials and guards to Uncle Qi Wang, planning to train Uncle Qi Wang as the heir of the Great Sui. The emperor's grandfather cultivated Brother Yan Wang again, and the mission was Li Gang Yan Wang Shi, but Brother Yan Wang was also finished... Do you still want to..."

"No, no. Anyone can do it, but Li Gang definitely can't. ”

Hoping for a son to become a dragon is the original intention of parents. Wei Fengwu also hopes that the children will get the best education, she heard that Li Gang is a world-famous Confucian, so she is a little tempted, and now when she hears Yang Tong count Li Gang's 'brilliant achievements', Wei Fengwu is terrified, how dare you ask for it.

"Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, and Li Baiyao are not bad in terms of knowledge, and their character is good, so it is enough to hand over the children to the three of them."

For the education of children, Yang Tong is more inclined to teach by word and deed, practice to achieve true knowledge, rather than behind closed doors, and Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, and Li Baiyao are not the kind of people who read dead books, and they all meet Yang Tong's requirements.

Now even this kind of thing has happened to him, if he still gives his son to Li Gangjiao, then he Yang Tong will either be sick or have an enmity with his son.
