Yuan Yao changed so much, so that his mother was particularly surprised, after that day, Yuan Yao did not return all day long as in the past, wandering outside, locking himself in the study, reciting rams all day long, after Yuan Shu's death, his study was almost never turned over, Sima personally came to clean, but refused to change the layout here, and Yuan Shu's many collections of books, as well as the articles he wrote, all belonged to Yuan Yao.

Sima Yi didn't rush to find Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang had just returned home and needed to rest for a while, he also understood, not to mention, he still had everything to deal with, his father had prepared a family affair for him, Sima Yi couldn't refuse, he could only obey.

After the two of them rested at home for three or four days, the Houde Hall sent officials and asked them to go to see the Son of Heaven immediately.

Zhuge Liang took the lead in rushing to the gate of the palace, asked the guards at the door, and learned that Sima Yi had not arrived, so he waited for Sima Yi's arrival at the door, Zhuge Liang waited for a while, and only then did a carriage appear in the distance, and it drove slowly, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that the person who came was definitely not Sima Yi, except for the third prince, no one dared to park here, and Sima Yi would not be like this.

Sure enough, as he thought, the person who got out of the carriage was Cao Cao.

Cao Cao got out of the carriage and glanced at Zhuge Liang in front of him, but he walked towards the palace without saying a word, Zhuge Liang just possessed himself and was about to bow and greet him, Cao Cao had already disappeared in front of him, Zhuge Liang looked at Cao Cao's figure leaving in a hurry, it seems that Situ Gong is not in a good mood, is it because of Sikong Shikong? As he was thinking, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

Zhuge Liang turned around, and the person behind him was Sima Yi.

"Why don't you even make a sound when you walk??"

"I'm not feeling well, I walk slowly, and my steps are light..."

"Just now, Situ Gong has entered..."

"I know, also, Sikong is also in the Hall of Houde..."Sima Yi squinted his eyes and said, Zhuge Liang really didn't know about this, and he didn't know how Sima Yi learned about these situations, Sima Yi suddenly whispered: "Kong Ming, I entered the main hall later... Don't get involved in the contradictions between the three dukes, even if Your Majesty protects us, but in front of the three dukes, no matter which side we have, we can't afford to offend..."

Zhuge Liang frowned and did not speak.

The two walked into the palace together, the entire Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, only the slightest change, only this palace, as usual, there is no change, the Son of Heaven has been on the throne for six years, and has not spent half a bit of effort in this palace, this point, it is different from Emperor Xiaoxian, similar to Xiaokang, under the guidance of the Yellow Gate, the two came to the front of the Houde Palace, the Yellow Gate entered, and said a word, and the two went in.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The two said in unison, Liu Xi suddenly stood up, his face was full of smiles, Liu Bei and Cao Cao didn't dare to continue to sit, seeing that the Son of Heaven had gotten up, they naturally got up quickly, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were startled, how dare they let these three people get up to meet them... Liu Xi helped them up and looked at the two people in front of him, at least at this moment, he showed a sincere smile.

"Kong Ming... Zhongda... You're finally back... These days, I really miss you...", Liu Xi burst into tears with excitement, wiping his tears, holding the hands of the two of them were trembling, Zhuge Liang's heart trembled, and his eyes gradually turned red, but he didn't shed tears, he could only hold the hand of the Son of Heaven tightly, as for Sima Yi, he had already begun to sobble in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the minister almost thought that he wouldn't be able to see Your Majesty..."

"Zhongda!! I'm sorry for you! ”

"Your Majesty!!"

Cao Cao shook his head, looking at this scene not far away, it was really disgusting, there was no warmth like the kind of gentlemen and ministers who met each other, when he turned his head, he found that Liu Bei on the side was also wiping his tears with his sleeves, and he was extremely excited, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you here to shed tears again??" ”

"There is such a bright king, there is such a virtuous minister, I am crying with joy!"

Cao Cao's face darkened, but he was still indifferent.

When everyone sat down, the four of them were all red-eyed, Cao Cao cleared his throat, and then said, "Your Majesty, let's get down to business... The minister thinks that ten years is too long, from Emperor Xiaokang to today, he is also implementing various policies and constantly innovating, but even so, the national strength is still rising, and now, the strength of the Han Dynasty is ten times that of the past... Liu Sikong's play, not to mention that it is useless, but the effect is not great. ”

"Situ Gongmiao, I haven't tried it, how do you know that it doesn't work much?"

Liu Bei asked rhetorically.

Cao Cao got up, faced everyone, and said angrily: "I say this, if you replace the national strength with money, you can earn a thousand yuan in the past ten years of governing the country... Within ten years, you can earn a thousand dollars, on weekdays, there is no vigorous development of the place, the money earned by local development is a hundred, you can increase it tenfold, of course, it is amazing, but in this development, you have to suspend some military and innovation costs, and on weekdays, these expenditures can play a role in ten years more than this thousand dollars! ”

"Can you understand me when I say that? Oh, by the way, Xuande Gong was the crown of mathematics back then, with his amazing eyesight, he overwhelmed the crowd, these things are much clearer than me!! ”

"Presumptuous!!" Liu Bei's face was full of anger, and he felt very angry at Cao Cao's behavior of exposing the old bottom, Cao Cao just looked at him coldly, and then looked at the Son of Heaven, and said: "Your Majesty, during the period of filial piety, if there is no princely reform, and during the period of filial piety, if there is no Cui Gong innovation, will there really be today's changes?" After the minister took office, he changed the law, protected women and children, changed the official school, and built the canal... If it weren't for these, would Yankang be as strong as it is today? ”

"Hehe, Situ Gong is the best, if there is no Situ Gong, how can there be a prosperous world? Our ministers, including this Hall of Virtue, are not worthy of Situ Gong alone! Liu Bei suddenly spoke.

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "Xuande, you have some skills on weekdays, how could you be naïve to use such an inferior divisive trick in front of Your Majesty today?" Do you think that Your Majesty, a benevolent and righteous monarch who is so tolerant, would be angry with me because of my few words? What Your Majesty cares about is this great Han world, although my words are not good, but it is also for the strength of this great man! ”

Sima Yi lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard these words at all, Zhuge Liang on the side was a little anxious, and wanted to get up several times, but was tightly pulled by Sima Yi.

When Cao Cao finished saying this, Zhuge Liang still couldn't hold back, broke free of Sima Yi, stood up suddenly, looked at Cao Cao, and said: "Cao Situ Fangcai, what he said is reasonable, since Emperor Xiaokang, many innovations have indeed made the Han Dynasty stronger and stronger, but, Cao Gong, you just used money as an example, then I am the same, within ten years, Dace may only be able to earn a thousand yuan." ”

"However, the improvement in this decade is not only in the harvest after ten years, within ten years, we will make every effort to build people's livelihood, ten years later, we can get countless cultivated land, countless household registrations, and even the wealth of the family, the Han will be improved in all aspects, and after that, these will become the cornerstone of the Han, these cultivated land, will bring more and more food, these people, will become soldiers, will become courtiers like you and me, in the next hundred years, this decade will play an important role!"

"What's more, since Emperor Xiaokang, the temple has been focusing on the people, spending ten years of time and energy, why not on these people?"

Cao Cao glanced at Zhuge Liang in front of him, ignored him completely, and ignored him directly.

Zhuge Liang frowned, but he still didn't get angry at Situ.

Liu Bei said: "This is exactly what I thought... Situ Gong, please don't care so much about your political achievements, think more about the people of the world..."

"Heh, you are just the third duke, how dare you make a decision for Your Majesty, and you are still bent on implementing your decree??" Cao Cao asked angrily, only then did he look at the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, these things still need Your Majesty to make decisions personally, and the ministers will never oppose Your Majesty's will!" Liu Bei was stunned, good guy, I just said that I used a counter-strategy, and you used it in a blink of an eye??

In the face of the quarrel of the three princes, Liu Xi has always been speechless.

At this moment, hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, everyone quieted down, and Liu Xi said: "In the past few decades, the people have been reclaiming, digging, and building everywhere, and there has never been a time to rest... I know in my heart that the people are not easy, and I decided to give them ten years of cultivation... Cao Situ, at this point, you don't have to argue with Liu Sikong anymore... Of course, cultivating and resting does not mean doing nothing, on the contrary, I want to put all my energy into the temple and be in the place. ”

Liu Xi clapped his hands, and soon, Qi Yue walked in, holding a huge map, two yellow doors, holding a map, standing behind Liu Xi, Liu Xi stood up, everyone also got up, Liu Xi looked at the map behind him, this map is the most detailed and detailed map made by the Han Dynasty in recent times, and it is accurate that even the names of some countryside can be found on it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this map relies on a talented person on Wajima.."

"Come on, let's take a look.... This is Wajima, the easternmost part of Dahan... This is Ningzhou, the coldest area of Dahan, here is Hexin Erzhou, endless Caoyuan, here is Xizhou, Dahan's foreign trade port, here is Yizhou, Dahan's merchants gather, here is Jiaozhou, years of reclamation and development, Jiaozhou has become so huge... These are all the islands of the Han Dynasty overseas, and the largest is this Yizhou..."

"In the Han Dynasty, there are still people who can't eat, and there are still people who can't be clothed... In these, in these places... And the people who can't afford to eat a meal of meat for a year... And these areas, the taxes of the entire region, are even inferior to a county seat in Luoyang!! ”

Everyone looked at the map seriously, and they were all silent.

Liu Xi looked at Yutu, his eyes flashed, and he said seriously: "Ten years, within ten years, I want to let all these regions develop, at least, the people can't die of hunger and cold, every county town, there must be a road to the outside world, and the tax after ten years will definitely exceed ten times that of today!" For these, Liu Sikong has a detailed recital table there, you can take a look..."

Cao Cao sighed, it seems that His Majesty has made a decision.

Is the matter of the canal of Nuoda going to end like this?
