Zhuge Liang is here, probably determined everyone's views on Sun Quan's claim to be the emperor, you can't fight, at least you can't provoke trouble or blame first, now the national strength of the Han Dynasty is flourishing, and it has far surpassed that of Eastern Wu, but it is precisely because of this that the situation in the world is more delicate, at least in the eyes of the high-level of the Han Dynasty, it is still meaningful to join Wu to resist Cao, but the situation of the alliance can no longer be regarded as a weak resistance to the strong, and the anxiety point of Eastern Wu is also here.

In the past, everyone was bitter haha, they were peasants, and they united to fight the landlords, but now it has suddenly become a situation of two landlords and one peasant, although these two landlords are not one, but which, it is easy to fight the peasants, in addition to making themselves become landlords as soon as possible, they must also check and balance the forces of the two families, so at this time, if Sun Quan is as tough as at the beginning, Sun Quan may be directly pushed into Cao Wei's camp by them.

The general direction is set, then the next thing will be discussed directly in the court, and in the end, Liu Chan has to make a decision, to establish the prestige of the new monarch, they, the auxiliary ministers, must maintain absolute respect for the new monarch, so that other courtiers will respect the new monarch.

Liu Chan yawned out, for him, the time of the early dynasty is set a little early, sitting on the throne, first greeted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two generals are not in a very good state now, as a nephew, Liu Chan is also a little worried, just without a father, if the hardcore supporters of the two fathers leave at this time, Liu Chan will feel very helpless.

Liu Yi, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong are still some distance after all.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yi came out of the queue and said to Liu Chan: "The funeral of the first emperor has passed, and the minister wants to continue to carry out the track erection of Chang'an, Luoyang and the entire Guanzhong and Heluo, and hope that Your Majesty will approve it." ”

Wooden rail is now a commonly used means of transportation in Shu, even in Shuzhong, but also specially built a law for the protection of wooden rail, if someone dares to demolish the wooden rail privately, two years of military slaves, a fine of 100 times, if you can't find the culprit, then the nearby village bears the fine and increases the next year's tax of one percent.

Unlike the craftsmen hired by Liu Yi, the military slaves have no salary, only basic food and clothing, but they do the lowest level of heavy work, such as carrying materials and other things that do not require skills, which is also because there were many laughable things when the wooden rails were laid in Shu in the early days, and some people ran with the wooden rails to be used as firewood.

Although Liu Yi led the production of wooden rails are usually strong, but no matter how strong they are, they can't stand the axe, some people ran to disassemble in order to save trouble, but it took most of the day to dismantle a small section, it is better to go directly to chop wood, you know, the wooden rail is partially buried underneath, and there is cement around it, and it is not easy to disassemble it.

Coupled with the punishment of the law, in recent years, it has not been a big problem.

These are all digressions, Liu Chan has naturally taken the rail car, and naturally knows that this rail car is convenient, as for the reconstruction of the second capital, it is half built, and it can't be stopped, these two are very important to the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's biggest wish in the second half of his life is to be able to return to the old capital, not to mention, the city built by Liu Yi is really comfortable, and Liu Bei's last words are there, Liu Chan will naturally not object.

"It's good to be in charge of this matter, as for the follow-up needs, I can list them, and I will allocate funds as soon as possible." Liu Chan smiled at Liu Yi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Yi nodded, as for Cao Wei's matter, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong can solve it, with the current national strength of the Han Dynasty, it is not something that the Wei Dynasty can understand if he wants to, and he still has to do his own job as a good thing, because Liu Bei's matter has been delayed for a lot of time, and now Liu Yi wants to make up for this time as soon as possible.

"Recently, I heard that Sun Quan of Eastern Wu was proclaimed emperor, I don't know what you think?" After Liu Yi was included in the train, Liu Chan looked at the ministers and asked.

The intelligence of the Han Dynasty is naturally open to Liu Chan, how could Liu Chan not know such a big thing as Sun Quan's claim to be the emperor, for this matter, Liu Chan also has some repercussions in his heart, after all, before this, Dongwu gave Liu Chan the feeling that it was just his own vassal country, but now he is the emperor, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty!" Huang Quan took a step forward and bowed and said: "Sun Quan is the emperor, although it is not in agreement with the ceremony, but the current situation in the world is delicate, if I pursue this matter, I am afraid that the previous alliance will be destroyed, but forced Wu Wei to join forces, which is not good for my dynasty, the minister thinks, you can send someone to congratulate, after all, the first emperor ascended the throne, the lord of Wu also sent people to watch the ceremony to congratulate, now my dynasty can not move, it is better to take the initiative to win over, stabilize the friendship between my dynasty Yundong and Wu, as for other things, it is not too late to talk about it after the demise of Cao Wei." ”

To put it simply, stabilize the other party first, wait for Cao Wei to be destroyed, and when you look back, there is only one Dongwu left, and you can't clean it up as much as you want?

"I also know that it is inappropriate to blame Dongwu at this time, but if I let him be the emperor, how can I have the face of the Han Dynasty?" Liu Chan nodded, then frowned.

The face of a great country and the face of an individual are two different things.

"Your Majesty, Sikong had a proposal before." Zhuge Liang smiled and came out of the ranks, and said again about Liu Yi's previous disconnection from trade with Jiangdong and the expansion of new trade: "The minister thinks that what Sikong said is quite feasible, but because of the situation, it is impossible to pay Dongwu, but since Dongwu is the emperor himself, there is no need for our dynasty to support it." ”

Liu Yi added with a smile: "In addition, the price of the military industry transaction that has shrunk by half can be doubled, before Wu was only a vassal state, and its status was not equal to ours, so my dynasty will carry out some support, but now that Sun Quan is called emperor, it also means that he is on par with our dynasty, and since this is the case, naturally there is no longer any need for the support of our dynasty." ”

Sanctions are necessary, but money still has to be earned, and the Han is now going to engage in construction, and the money is just needed, and it is as much as it can be pulled out of the hands of Soochow.

Liu Chan nodded, suddenly looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile: "Sikong is in a hurry to go to Xiliang this time, does he also have the intention of opening this Silk Road?" ”

"Naturally it is needed, the minister also wants to know more about the living habits of the Western Regions, the Xiongnu and the Qiang people, if possible, it will be incorporated into the territory of our dynasty, the minister has a disciple, recently came up with a method of manpower to drum the wind, set up a style on the rail car to improve the speed of the rail car, if it can be successful, the rail car can travel more than 100 miles or even 200 miles a day, that is, from Chang'an to Dawan, it only takes more than a month to arrive, and after the track is laid in the future, the entire Western Regions can be included in the territory of my Han Dynasty, and trade with the country of Anxia and Daxia farther away."

Liu Chan smiled and nodded when he heard this, today's rail car, in fact, is already dissatisfied, if it can still speed up, then the biggest distance problem for the Han people will be shortened a lot, and it is indeed possible to control a larger territory.

Of course, if one day, after the steam car can be studied, the time required to get from here to the Western Regions may be shorter, but after this matter, before the finished product appears, Liu Yi will not speak nonsense.

"Your Majesty, there is one more matter that needs to be reported to Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang stepped out of the ranks, bowed to Liu Chan and said: "According to the news that I have found out in the court, Xu Huang, the general of the Wei Dynasty, has already stationed troops in the Hanoi area, and the forces of the Great Wei are converging towards the universe, I am afraid that there is an intention to invade my territory!" ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know how many troops he has contributed?" ”

"It's not yet discovered, but it's not small." Zhuge Liang shook his head, the Wei Dynasty is also very strict about counter-reconnaissance, and it is not easy to find out these military information.

Hearing this, Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "But do you need reinforcements?" ”

"No reinforcements are needed for the time being." Pang Tong came out of the queue and saluted Liu Chan and said: "Luoyang has Chenggao, Mengjin and other dangerous places, and there are 50,000 male soldiers stationed, the general Guan Ping, the march is steady, and he will not make mistakes easily. ”

"I don't understand military affairs, I don't know what the princes think?" Liu Chan frowned.

Liu Yi thought for a while and said: "The simplest is to attack the west, although Xu Huang is famous, but because of this, as soon as he moves, we think that the person he leads is the main force, but the minister thinks that compared to the land of Heluo, Nanyang and Jingzhou are better as offensive points, and the Cao army can easily cut off the connection between Heluo and Nanyang, so that our army can only go to the land of Sichuan and Shu if we want to rush to Jingzhou, but it will take time to send troops down the river from Sichuan and Shu. Jingzhou does not need to notify Chang'an first but directly asks for help from Sichuan and Shu, so that the soldiers and horses in Shu can arrive in Jiangling and other places within ten days. ”

Pang Tong said with a smile: "What Bo Yuan said is quite reasonable, but the minister thinks that if the Wei army comes to attack, I am afraid that there will be more than this fiction and reality." ”

"Oh?" Liu Chan looked at Pang Tong curiously: "What the right minister said, but the Huns?" ”

"If it is not the Xiongnu, Xiqiang, Nanyue, Jiaozhou Shijia and even Jiangdong, it is possible, this time Sun Quan is the emperor, if there is no support from Cao Wei, Sun Quan will dare? Your Majesty has ever remembered that when the first emperor was called the emperor, it was also because King Wu supported the first emperor, and Cao Cao was helpless about it at that time, and now our dynasty does not agree with Sun Quan to be the emperor, but Sun Quan is so fanfare to announce to the world, I am afraid that there may not be no Cao Wei behind this. ”

In this way, in addition to Cao Wei, there are still Xiqiang, Xiongnu, Shijia, Shanyue and even Jiangdong, if so, it is equivalent to the Han Dynasty falling into the situation of being attacked on all sides, Liu Chan was a little panicked, looked at the ministers and said: "If this is the case, how can it be good?" ”

"Your Majesty is shocked, since the right minister has spoken, there must be a way to crack it." Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong and smiled: "Besides, this should be the worst possibility." ”

"Not bad!" Pang Tong nodded and said: "But Cao Wei has just experienced a big defeat now, if you want to fight with our dynasty alone, it is impossible, you will definitely seek reinforcements, Sun Quan's claim to be the emperor is the best proof, as for the rest, it is not difficult to break!" ”
