"Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong, Wu Yuan, the sister of Wu Yi, the head of the Wu family in Yizhou, and the head of the Zhang family in Xiliang..."

Looking at Guo Jia's mouth-like appearance and that strange expression, Yuan Shu suddenly thought of a profession in his heart, the old bustard.

"Stop!" Yuan Shu hurriedly stretched out his hands and interrupted Guo Jia, and then said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth: "I said, I'm picking a concubine, not a stallion, do you want so much?" If you come like this, I will only see one a day, and I am afraid that a month will not be enough. ”

Yuan Shu doesn't know how to doppelg, and he is not a hungry ghost, and he can't be busy with so many concubines, so it's almost enough to take two or three.

Seeing Yuan Shu's speechless appearance, Guo Jia smiled again: "Lord, this is already the result of Jia's layer by layer screening. As soon as the news of your desire to become emperor was sent, the situation of these women I received was not interrupted. These are all from a clear family background and noble birth, and after Jia's understanding, they are the best choice in terms of appearance and temperament, and Jia feels that you can basically accept them all. ”

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth twitched, and a trace of helplessness flashed in Guo Jia's eyes: "Do you want me to die on a woman's belly like you?" There are so many women, and most of their lives after coming in will be alone in the empty boudoir and waste their youth, but I am not as free and uninhibited as you. ”

"What do you think, my lord?"

"Two or three are enough. However, what I didn't expect was that Cai Yong actually pushed his baby daughter out, this old guy is really disrespectful to the old, no wonder he has been persuading me to take more concubines before. But hasn't he always been opposed to my claim to be emperor? Yuan Shuhu said.

When Guo Jia heard this, he glanced at Yuan Shu with a wry smile: "Lord, it's not you who hurt you?" Although the farce of the women's college barely blocked the mouths of the world's scholars, Cai Yan was bitter by the lord. Originally, as Cai Yong, there were not many people who were qualified to marry Cai Yan, but now it's good, no one wants to marry directly. The first strange woman in the world, who dares to marry! Cai Yong can't just watch his daughter live a lonely life, who else can he find besides the lord? ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, his face was also embarrassed. Indeed, at the beginning, he was just on a whim, and he didn't take into account the impact of this incident on Cai Yan, which led to Cai Yan's embarrassing situation now.

"The iniquity of your own making, you will pay it back yourself. It seems that I have to marry this Cai Yan! Yuan Shu sighed lightly.

When Guo Jia heard this, he looked at Yuan Shu speechlessly: "Lord, you really have to be cheap." Not to mention Zhao Ji's appearance and talent, it is Cai Yong's prestige, no matter how many people want to marry, you still look reluctant here. ”

Yuan Shu smiled and said no more.

After Guo Jia left, Yuan Shu's heart was extremely complicated, and he came to the study alone.

The maids and servants in the study were driven away one after another, Yuan Shu stood alone in front of the desk, spread out a piece of fine white paper, picked up the brush on the side and dipped it in ink and slowly wrote two words on it: system. Then he fell into deep thought.

Becoming emperor is very important and crucial for Yuan Shu, because his goal is not only this world. At this time, although he had a draft in his heart, he still hadn't figured out what to do after unifying the Han Dynasty.

With the current situation of the Han Dynasty, that is, Yuan Shu will reunify it, and it is estimated that he will be able to expand the territory of the Han Dynasty to the west to Guishan at most in his lifetime, and annex the Guishan, and then the rest of the west may be difficult to control, let alone Rome. This is not a question of national strength, but a question of the limitations of the times and science and technology. The biggest constraint on warfare is not the strength of troops, but the logistics.

Even with Chang'an as the imperial capital, it will take at least about two months from sending troops to resting in peace. If there was any change in peace at such a distance, Yuan Shu in Chang'an would not be able to understand and react in time, in other words, the distance was too far to control. This is also the reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked everywhere, but the territory of the Han Dynasty did not expand much.

Yuan Shu is very aware of this situation, but he can't occupy the territory, that is in vain. But Yuan Shu was not willing to stop at Guishan, his goal was the entire "world", to make this era of coexistence of the four empires become Han dominant. If he can't do it with his own strength, then he will rely on other forces, and the strongest force in this era is the family and the princes. If he is unable to control the region, let the other Han people control it, just as the Shang and Zhou dynasties divided the kingdoms. And these families and defeated princes are the objects of his future feuds.

The limitations of the times could not improve the technology of the Han Dynasty to the level of later generations, so as to improve the speed of transportation and the speed of message transmission. Therefore, his goal of dominating the "world" and becoming the only emperor in this world is basically unachievable, so he is ready to pave the way for the Han people and his descendants in advance and pave a smooth road.

Yuan Shu has been thinking about whether he wants to change the current Han system after the founding of the country, whether it is the system of three provinces and six ministries or the cabinet system, each has its own strengths, and it is much more mature than the current system of three princes and nine secretaries. But now that he is in a hurry to become the emperor, there is no time to change these, continue the Han Dynasty's Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system, and if there is a need in the future, it is the best choice to restructure the system. But after the situation in the world stabilized, the system was restructured, and the difficulty and resistance of this made Yuan Shu quite melancholy.

"Well, I don't have a choice now. Forget it, take it one step at a time! Yuan Shu thought about it for a long time, but still didn't think about how to deal with it. The issue of the system involves many aspects, whether it is the three provinces and six ministries or the cabinet system, it is a system established to adapt to the situation of the time because of the different conditions of the times. It involves all aspects, and it is extremely complicated, and Yuan Shu still feels that his head is big.

Yuan Shu is not a person who likes to drill the horns, no matter how good the system is, it needs to be implemented by people, and any system has its flaws. He is confident that even if he is under the system of three princes and nine kings, he can control the world with his skills.

After setting the date of becoming emperor, Guo Jia quickly publicized it, and the entire Jiangdong was boiling. Whether it is the civil and military forces under Yuan Shu or the families, people, and merchants in Jiangdong, they are all very excited, and countless people have come to Jinling, ready to witness this scene with their own eyes. In addition to the generals and ministers who had to guard the states, all those who could come to Jinling responded to the call.

The news that Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao were about to be proclaimed emperors on the same day came out, and the whole world also shook. Liu Bei, who occupied Yanzhou, did not sit still at this time, but asked Liu Cheng, the son of heaven controlled by Cao Cao, for a holy decree and prepared to become king. Liu Bei and Cao Cao now occupy the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty and have become natural allies, and Cao Cao naturally did not refuse Liu Bei's request. Liu Bei also began to prepare for the title of king at this time, and the time was also the same day as Eryuan and Gongsun Zhan, which was really ridiculous.
