Chapter 0222: Duan Xi returns

After the little fat man Liu Wei was beaten by his father, he still handed it over to He Xiu and asked him to take it away, and he didn't even let the little fat man meet with Queen Song and Empress Dowager Dong, and he was directly taken away by He Xiu.

He was originally a gentleman that no one dared to provoke in Luoyang, but he didn't expect that one day he would be beaten up by another gentleman who was bigger than him, and he even remembered it

At this time, Liu Bo, Zhang Jiao and others, who were far away in Hebei, had not yet waited for the envoy, but Duan Xi, who was stationed in Hezhou, greeted the angel and asked him to return to Luoyang Mianjun immediately.

Their targets are more of some migrations, ready to enter the territory of the Han border residents, since Wang Fu implemented a series of new policies, and Wen Renzheng first proposed to absorb large-scale manpower in the border areas, enrich the household registration in the border areas, and then move the meritorious ones to the heart of the Huairou policy, such migrations have been countless.

Just a Youzhou, has increased the household registration of nearly 100,000 people in a short period of time, the arrival of these people, not only to enrich the local household registration, to increase the labor, they began to reclaim and develop the border states and counties, so that Youzhou, Hezhou, Xinzhou, Liangzhou The cultivation of the four states gradually increased, especially the construction of the Yuyang Chi Road, but also made Youzhou the richest state and county in the four states.

Livestock, wool, minerals, etc., produced here, transported to Jizhou, Yanzhou and other regions, business travel, even if the temple to suppress these merchants, but also can not stop their enthusiasm, the previous reduction of commercial tax order, more for the folk handicraft industry, but also for the sake of the people, the lower handicraft tax, for the people to open a new road.

On weekdays, the common people who spent their time outside of agriculture began to devote themselves to the production of handmade products on a large scale, and as mentioned earlier, some big businessmen also took advantage of the loopholes in the regulations to ask their own servants and customers to make handmade products for them and sell them, but these handmade products, after too much production, caused trouble.

Under the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, there is no vast market that allows them to export their products, so their targets are placed in the border states and counties, and in the territory outside the Saiwai, the four northern states have become the largest foreign sales area of the Han Dynasty, and these Han merchants bought the handmade products made by the Han people at a low price, and then sold them at extremely high prices.

Even, they collectively united, only with Han money for trading, and then deliberately coaxed the purchasing power of Han money, many tribal countries outside the Han Dynasty, etc., can not privately mint Han money, in short, at this moment, they are like hearing people attack the body, the nature of the profiteers is fully played, they exchange a bronze mirror for three cows, with a wine cup in exchange for seven slaves, so that the rulers of these surrounding countries, for the Han merchants are hateful.

And the most hateful thing is that the frontier soldiers of the Han Dynasty, including the Northern Army and the Southern Army, attach great importance to the people of the Han Dynasty, although the superiors hate the merchants, but if they dare to move these merchants, it will attract the full revenge of the Han Dynasty.

In addition, those Confucian scholars who wanted to educate the world, they could be seen everywhere around the Han Dynasty, although they did not plunder like the merchants, but they were more harmful than the merchants, they initially learned the various languages outside these borders, sorted them out, compiled translations, etc., and then they began to teach and preach the way of the sages.

They regard this as their most sacred mission, of course, such behavior is also praised by the great Confucians, especially Zheng Xuan, for their behavior of wanting to educate the world and promote Confucianism, they are even more stingy and praised, which has led to a large number of migration booms, so that the household registration of the Han Dynasty is increasing wildly, they have increased the number of cultivated fields, increased the output, and provided opportunities for businessmen.

There are also many important ministers who are dissatisfied and jealous of this, such as Yuan Feng, although he is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, but he still plays to the Son of Heaven, saying that if this goes on for a long time, there will be more and more foreign people on the border, and the country will not be a country, such a statement naturally aroused the anger of many ministers, Dong Zhuo, Duan Xi, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan and other ministers are all criticizing his remarks.

Because under their accounts, there are many ministers who are working for the Han Dynasty, such as the group of Hun soldiers under Dong Zhuo's account, Zheng Xuan's Qiang people Cheri, etc., of course, there is also Shan Yu Yufuluo, who is now enjoying happiness in Luoyang, and Yuan Feng naturally has a lot of officials around him to support, and disputes have become a habitual thing, but no matter how they argue, it is useless.

Everything still has to be decided by the Son of Heaven himself, and there is a person who also expressed dissatisfaction, but this person is different from Yuan Feng, this person is He Xiu, he advocates attacking and killing foreign people, turning them into laborers, etc., and must not be merciful to them, at present, there is no one who agrees with his thoughts, in this era, the Han people are not the name of a single nation, but all the people in the territory of the Han are Han people.

It is those Ban Yu Man, Jiangxia Man, a large number of mountain people in the south, also Han people, and no official will call them barbarians in person, unless they rebel, however, after Wang Fu arrived in Yangzhou, the very common rebellion in the south has become very rare, coupled with the setting of official learning, so that the foreign people who migrated around are all learning the customs of the Han Dynasty, to be precise, learning the customs of the north.

In the face of those natives who were captured by Dong Zhuo, they would even look at them with disdain with the eyes of the people of the Han Dynasty.

The Son of Heaven let the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty continue to guard in the north, it is enough to see that the Son of Heaven is still more inclined to Wang Fu's decree, Duan Xi after receiving the edict of the Son of Heaven, did not dare to slack off at all, so that Sun Jian and others were always vigilant, and they hurried towards Luoyang.

Along the way, Duan Xi was very low-key, and he did not declare that he was going to Luoyang on the way, and when he settled in the post station, he also used his subordinates' inspection to settle in, the reason is very simple, Duan Xi in the north is naturally more able to deter the surrounding enemies, after running all the way, after half a month, he rushed to the outside of Luoyang City.

He rode a horse, and four or five attendants slowly approached, several years did not return to Luoyang, the change in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, is too big, but, for some reason, around Luoyang, but there are few cars and horses, this is very unreasonable, outside Luoyang, there are all traffic, why to this place near the east city gate, but there are few cars and horses and pedestrians, along the way, only a few of them are running?

Duan Xi suddenly felt a little frightened in his heart, and his breathing gradually became a little short, he looked around cautiously, for fear that a few crossbow arrows would come out of nowhere, and only the crisp sound of horses' hooves could be heard on the road, and many attendants were silent.

Suddenly, there were some crowns, flags, and a group of soldiers in front of him, these soldiers were riding horses, dressed as honor guards, and after seeing Duan Xi, they suddenly beat the drum and shouted: "General Zhengnan has returned!" ”

The shouts were one after another, and after the soldiers, the yellow cover that symbolized the Son of Heaven could be vaguely seen, and Duan Xi relaxed.

Your Majesty has never failed you.
