Guo Jin was quite surprised when he suddenly heard that Guo Peng had arranged for Guo Jun to live alone in the outer city of Luoyang.

He didn't expect Guo Peng to do this, and he didn't know the purpose of doing it.

"Well, Ah Jun has been arranged by his father to live in the outer city, together with a group of small officials who have just entered Beijing, using the identity of Yanzhou official [Zhao Yong]."

"Isn't that dangerous? After all, it is the prince. ”

Guo Jin was a little worried.

"It's not dangerous, what kind of danger is it? Inside Luoyang City, not outside Luoyang City. ”

Guo Peng shook his head: "Living with a group of petty officials who have just entered Luoyang City, experiencing the real thoughts of the petty officials, and experiencing the process of promotion from scratch, this is definitely a good thing for them." ”

"I see."

Guo Jin no longer spoke, and seemed to have a little more understanding of Guo Peng's thoughts.

Guo Peng thought about it and felt that there were some things that he still had to say to Guo Jin clearly.

His thoughts should not be hidden from him, he is an adult, he is a man, he can have his own opinions and understanding of some things, as a father, he should trust him more.

So Guo Peng told Guo Jin about some arrangements for the children from now on.

For example, he envisioned the limits of the empire's territory, and the idea of feudal statehood beyond the extreme walls of the empire.

Guo Jin was shocked, he didn't know that his father actually had such far-reaching plans and ideas, and had such a clear vision for the future of the country and their brothers.

The world is big, the empire is extremely walled, the feudal statehood, the foreign country, etc., countless new terms and new ideas have drilled into Guo Jin's brain, churning in his head, making him dizzy and dizzy.

Obviously, it will take him longer to absorb and understand Guo Peng's thoughts.

"This is the general idea of the father, if you have any ideas, you can also mention, for the father hopes, you brothers can each have their own way out, and can also spread my Chinese culture overseas, the overseas land is infinitely vast, and there are countless fertile soil waiting for you to discover."

Guo Peng stood up and pointed to the south of Luoyang, that distant place.

"Don't limit your vision to one place in China, outside of China, there are countless lands, and there are many more people with different customs, languages, and cultures, what we know now is just a drop in the ocean, we are just frogs at the bottom of the well.

Go out, look at the four seas, see the wider world, discover the broader wealth, don't stick to the land of China, don't stick to the grain grown on the land of China, go out, to the east, to the west, to the south, to the north, go out! ”

Guo Jin looked at his father, who walked quickly to the gate of Fengtian Hall and gave guidance to the vast night, and he felt as if there was something more somewhere in his heart.

Guo Peng did not let Guo Jin just dream, but handed over the whole map of the world that he had spent many years secretly drawing in Linziying to Guo Jin.

This is the approximate map of the world that he has reluctantly recalled based on broken memories for several years after he became emperor.

The specific appearance of several continents and oceans, some terrain he is familiar with, familiar plots, large islands and the like.

There are also the places of origin that he remembers, or fertile soil areas, strategic places, etc., he took the time to describe and mark them bit by bit, and then handed them over to the Linziying drawing team to complete them bit by bit.

Now that it has been largely completed, give this picture to Guo Jin, open his horizons, and let him no longer limit his vision to this one-third of an acre.

Let him know where Shenzhou is, and how limited it is compared to the whole world.

At the same time, tell him the concept of the extreme wall of the empire, let him know the advantages and disadvantages of the feudal system and the feudal system, and let him know how to break the situation if he does not want to cause a situation of fratricidal cannibalism in the future.

Reshape his worldview.

The worldview is very important, to get out of the shackles of the round sky, to get out of the geographical concept of the world, to reshape the concept of a real continent and ocean, to know where you are and what is around you.

The broadening of the horizon determines the height of the policy.

And this is precisely what human beings did not have before the Age of Discovery.

It is just a map, but it is the crystallization of thousands of years of human wisdom, the beginning of a person's concept of the world, and the enlightenment of the most primitive world view.

Human courage and ingenuity, as well as persistence, including greed, are condensed on such a map.

Knowing the size of the world and not knowing the size of the world are two completely different concepts.

Beyond China, there is the world, and the world is unimaginably big.

So, go out, go out all, get out of this fertile land, and open up a new, equally fertile land.

From the very beginning, he had to know what else was outside of China, and what kind of position his place was in the world, and then go out.

The best way to get out of the cycle is to go out, go out from the land of China, open up a new future, open up new possibilities, continue to discover, continue to explore, in this way, in order to truly go out!

Guo has no doubt about this!

And from this moment on, Guo Jin, who knows the size of the world, will no longer have any doubts, he knows what kind of idea the structure of the future territory envisioned by his father originates.

At the end of October of the fifth year of Yande, the post-war affairs of the Northern Expedition were largely over.

The issue of rewards for the army, rewards for officials, and promotions and demotions for personnel has finally been straightened out.

It is clear who will be promoted, who will be demoted, who will be rewarded, and who will be rushed back to their hometown.

The small notebook that Guo Jin recorded during his tenure as the crown prince of the prison state became the decisive existence of Guo Peng's attitude towards officials.

Those officials who were recorded with improper attitudes or even disrespectful to the crown prince were counted as one, and they were either demoted or driven away.

And those who work diligently have been promoted to a certain extent.

The vacant positions will be filled by new officers.

Of course, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter, and the real big thing is that Guo Peng announced the establishment of a new administrative state that encompasses most of the grasslands he has conquered, called Mozhou.

This was the first time in history that the Central Plains Empire proposed to exercise sovereignty over the steppe region, establish administrative states, and send officials to govern them.

Guo Peng put forward his own plan, that is, to migrate 300,000 people into the grassland area in advance to carry out a pilot animal husbandry industry.

Based on the animal husbandry industry that has already begun in the two prefectures, it will be carried forward in the vast grassland.

Guo Peng proposed to make the grassland a production base for meat and milk in the interior of the Wei Empire.

He wants to let the large quantities of mutton, cattle, and dairy products produced on the grasslands enter the Central Plains, so as to reduce the price of meat and milk, so that more people can eat more meat and drink more milk.

Xiahoudun, the former governor of the state, was reappointed as the governor of Mozhou, and was fully responsible for the construction of Mozhou, and the post of the governor was handed over to others to be responsible.

Guo Peng said in the official edict issued that this was something that had not been done in the previous dynasty, and this was something that had not been experienced in the previous dynasty.

He knows that it is difficult, inexperienced, and can lead to losses, but he must do it.

Successive dynasties eliminated the enemies on the grassland and did not choose to occupy the grassland, because they felt that the grassland did not have any economic advantages, which would only drag down the economy of the Central Plains and could not help.

However, the result of not occupying the steppe was the emergence of powerful tribes on the steppe one after another.

From the Rong people in the Shangzhou period, to the Xiongnu in the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, and later the Xianbei, one is stronger than the other, and one is more difficult to deal with.

In the end, the Khitans stepped onto the stage of history.
