Chapter 134: Moving the Capital

Sima Lang and Sima Yi were appointed as county magistrates, Sima Fang was unwilling, Sima Yi said: "Father, the Han Emperor attaches great importance to the bottom and loves the people. [With the dream]' son will go, and within three years, he will definitely make Lingqiu Dazhi and pay attention to the Han Emperor. ”

Sima Fang said: "The Han Emperor recruited me to teach in Taixue, you say, should I go or not?" ”

Sima Lang is a little uninterested in his own testament, thinking that this is nonsense, An An divides himself to do his best, serve the country, and ask for his life for the people, that is, why is he tossing blindly with an unattainable goal? At the moment, he said to Sima Fang: "The Han Emperor attaches great importance to education, and he is punctual for Liaodong County, and has vigorously built schools and employs people on the basis of merit. My father has studied Confucianism, and Zhongda and I have not yet taken office, if we disobey the order, the Han Emperor must think that my father is arrogant. ”

Sima Yi also nodded, although the eldest brother said vaguely, with his father's IQ, he must have understood it as soon as he heard it. So he also said: "Father, Hanoi is not far from Luoyang, why not move the family to Luoyang?" ”

Sima Fang saw that his two sons wanted to go to Taixue by themselves, so he smiled, "Go to Taixue for my father and get the world's talents to educate him, I will definitely choose a few right-hand men for you to come out and assist my son and achieve great success." ”

Sima Lang's face twitched, Sima Yi was overjoyed, and said to his father: "I don't mean that my father is far-sighted, and the child admires it." ”

Sima Fang stroked his sparse beard, raised his head and laughed, Emperor Han, Emperor Han, it was you who gave the old man a great opportunity.

Liu Ze's prejudice against Sima Yi is, of course, from the fact that the Sima family usurped Cao Wei's country and opened the Jin Dynasty. Sima Yi looked at the wolf Gu eagle, he looked like a thief in nature, Cao Cao and Cao Pi were there, and he could still suppress him, and after Cao Cao's grandson died, Sima Yi had been promoted to the king of Jin. Sima Yi walked the same path as Cao Cao, but he was calmer than Cao Cao, and after Cao, Cao Pi forced Emperor Han Xian to take the throne; Sima Yi was his grandson Sima Yan who forced Emperor Cao Wan of Wei Yuan to take the throne. Sima Yi's ability is absolutely not said, how to make good use of this person? Liu Ze was a little unsure. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are natural opponents, use Zhuge Liang to suppress him? But I don't know if the handsome guy Zhuge can live past Sima Yi? Zhuge Liang seems to have died in his fifties, and Sima Yi seems to have lived for more than seventy, right?

Liu Ze thought a lot, and asked people to call Liu Hu. After Liu Hu arrived, Liu Ze whispered to Liu Hu: "Brother Hu, send secret guards to comprehensively monitor the people of Sima Fang's family, I want to know his family's every move, daily words and deeds." ”

Liu Hu nodded and left quickly.

Liu Ye's performance has arrived, and with it, there are countless goods. Liu Ze saw that Liu Ye explained in detail the process of the battle with Wusun in the Western Regions, and he was overjoyed in his heart, the Western Regions were stable, and it was convenient for him to carry out the next strategy. At that moment, the remaining personnel of the Military Aircraft Department were called to discuss.

Liu Ze saw that everyone was coming, and said with a smile: "Ziyang sent troops to the Western Regions, and defeated Wusun in a row, and Wusun has existed in name only. The six countries of the Western Regions are afraid of the might of our Han army, and they have all surrendered. Ziyang came to the book to ask about the next step, I don't know what Zhongqing's plan is? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The emperor is based on the Western Regions, and wants to subjugate foreign countries, when the order is to promote the people's livelihood, recruit troops and buy horses, spy on the intelligence of foreign countries, and wait for the opportunity. ”

Xun Yu said: "In the Western Regions, the silk road is also, why doesn't the emperor encourage merchants to come and go, and use rare and gorgeous things to exchange wealth and goods, and consume their national strength." Ziyang scattered the men and horses to protect the business and facilitate the exchanges. Our Han army fought against foreign prisoners of war, and they were all sent to the Western Regions to repair roads for the benefit of all generations. ”

Cao Cao said: "It is rumored that the Dayue clan and the Kushan kingdoms are rich in products, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the soldiers are warlike. Wen Ruo's plan is also a strategy for the country. ”

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, the minister once heard from you that there is a drug, called poppy, which has been addicted to it for a long time, especially compared to Wushi San. I wonder where this poppy comes from? The minister felt that he could use it. ”

Liu Ze's eyes lit up, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, didn't the Western powers rely on opium to plunder huge amounts of wealth in China, making our people the sick man of East Asia? Grandma drops, Lao Tzu has long forgotten this stubble, fortunately Guo Jia, you kid reminded me. But I don't really know where to find this poppy. But this is easy to do, and with the size of the country now, it can definitely be found. If you can't find it in the country, then go outside to find it, and it's not in a hurry anyway.

Seeing that no one said anything more, Liu Ze said with a smile: "What the secretary said is reasonable. Trouble Zhicai wrote, and passed it to Ziyang for execution with a secret letter and a fast horse. It's just that this poppy fruit, although it is an analgesic, cough suppressant, and hypnotic medicine, I don't know where to find it in the domain? How is this service and filial piety arranged? When you find the poppy fruit, choose to plant it in the deep mountains and valleys away from the crowd, and remember that the Chinese people must not be curious to take it, because they are addicted to drugs, and it is very difficult to quit it. ”

Guo Jia said: "The minister sent someone to ask the world's doctors, and you Fang Langzhong will definitely find it." ”

Liu Ze said: "The business travel of the countries in the Western Regions is unaware, and there are many goods trafficked, so Ziyang also pays more attention. ”

Xi Zhicai interjected: "Your Majesty, this rare and beautiful thing is not easy to manufacture, do you order the world's workshops to develop and produce?" ”

Liu Zedao: "Zhicai said well, rare and beautiful things, as long as they do not consume the national strength of our Han Dynasty, we will try our best to develop them." Those who can produce rare and beautiful things can be sold outside the territory, and they can be rewarded by decree. ”

Cao Cao interjected: "Your Majesty, if you want to increase his national strength, it is better to provoke his constant wars. ”

Liu Ze patted his head, and said in his heart Lao Cao is still you smart, think about the era when you came, Uncle Sam stirred up trouble everywhere, and taught a lesson to one or two small countries at every turn, for what? In the end, it's all about real money, and let's see, Sam's weapons market is called a good one.

Liu Ze immediately said to Xi Zhicai: "Tell Ziyang that if the foreign countries are unstable, you can sell my Han standard weapons to weak countries to help them resist the riot." If a big country comes to buy, the price is doubled. ”

Xi Zhicai said: "I don't know how to define the price of this weapon? ”

Liu Ze smiled and said: "Of course, based on the production cost, it will be sold five times." ”

Cao Cao secretly slandered, no wonder I can't beat you, it turns out that your heart is much darker than mine.

Xi Zhicai sorted out what everyone said, organized it clearly, and presented it to Liu Ze, Liu Ze read it carefully, and said: "Yes, the original text is delivered to Ziyang." ”

Liu Ze is fine, Guo Jiake has a headache. The opium poppy was planted in our country, and the recorded era was during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, when Li Longji, the merry son of heaven, was in power, and it was the Arabs who brought the seeds to China from the Middle East, of course, through the Silk Road. Liu Ze only said the general appearance of the poppy, but did not say the specific details, in Liu Ze's opinion, the counties in the south of Yizhou and Jingzhou must have been planted. Guo Jia spent a few months, according to Liu Ze, to draw a pattern and sprinkle it to all counties and counties in the world to find it, but there was no news.

In the midst of Guo Jia's troubles, September arrived. On September 9, Liu Ze got up early, came to the Taimiao, paid homage to the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and then returned to the palace gate. Cai Wenji and the others sat in the carriage and were waiting for Liu Ze to come back.

Liu Ze got into the carriage, went out of the east gate of Luoyang, and began to enter Jixian County.

The businessmen who got the news early in Luoyang City had already purchased real estate in Jixian County and opened for business. For a while, the price of real estate in Jixian County soared.

After Liu Ze left, the yamen of each ministry went out in turn in the order arranged in advance. The long queue, which stretched out for more than a hundred miles, suddenly became a great spectacle.

Luoyang to Beijing (Jixian County) more than a thousand miles, more than ten days later, Liu Ze came to the outside of the capital, Xiahoulan, Zhang Yan, Huang Chengyan led a large group of people to greet him. When Liu Ze saw Huang Chengyan in the crowd, he immediately got out of the car, came to the front, grabbed Huang Chengyan's hands and said: "Huang Gong has worked hard for the capital, and I am uneasy, please accept my worship." ”

At that time, Huang Chengyan was still standing there alone because he was held by Liu Ze, Xia Houlan, Zhang Yan and others had already knelt on the ground, shouting long live. After Liu Ze finished speaking, he gave Huang Chengyan a deep salute.

Huang Chengyan couldn't stand it anymore, and said with trembling lips: "The emperor has tormented the old man." The capital was completed without the help of the old man alone. ”

Liu Ze said loudly: "Huang Gong is the soul of all craftsmen, Huang Gong can choose any city gate, and I will name this gate after Huang Gong." Everyone here has worked hard, and I will reward you with no spare. Get up. ”

Xiahoulan has also lost a lot of weight, and the sweat paid for such a big project can be imagined. Liu Ze said to Xiahoulan: "Zi You's great merit, mobilizing manpower, cooperating with Huang Gong, and taking care of the prisoners can be described as hard work. ”

Xiahou Lan said loudly: "This is all the duty of the minister, and it is an honor to be able to build a capital division for the emperor." ”

Liu Ze crossed Xiahoulan and came to Zhang Yan's side, "Black Mountain Feiyan did to build a military port, did you ever wonder in my heart that I would not be able to use people?" ”

Zhang Yancheng said with trepidation: "The emperor is serious, Quanzhou Military Port is a matter of national planning, and it is too late for the minister to thank the emperor for reuse, how dare he slander?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Facts have proved that General Zhang Yan has done a very good job. Does the general know the intention of me ordering you to build a military port? ”

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Weichen doesn't know. ”

Liu Ze said: "General Zhang is known as Feiyan, and his light body kung fu must be unique. I intend you to choose those who are skilled in light body kung fu to form an army, and under your command, teach the method of flying, and make contributions to my Han dynasty. ”

Zhang Yan was really a little unable to think about it at that time, and it was inevitable to complain in her heart, and at this time she knew Liu Ze's deep meaning. The flying army became famous in the battle of Luocheng, shocking the world, Liu Ze actually asked him to form another flying army, can he not be excited? said loudly at the moment: "I will live up to the emperor's trust." ”

Liu Ze appeased everyone, got in the car and set off until the imperial city.

After Dong Zhao arrived on Wadao, Li Xin informed Zhuge Liang in detail of his actions in Wadao, and Dong Zhao sighed: "Kong Ming is really a god, I am not as good." ”

Li Xin said: "My lord, the Japanese people are young and strong, and most of them are on Beihai Island. The last general will strictly abide by the order of Lord Zhuge and cruise the warship outside the island, not leaving the island, and leaving it to fend for itself. ”

Dong Zhao understood this situation, "At present, there is a shortage of labor in the country, and the island has been besieged for several months, presumably the young and strong people on the island have no combat power, and General Li can lead troops to the island and send all the young and strong to the country." ”

Li Xin agreed and went to make arrangements.

Dong Zhao saw that all the Japanese children were corrupted when they were a little older, and his heart was miserable. He was so merciful that he spared thousands of widows. As everyone knows, Dong Zhao's benevolence has brought endless disasters to China and its neighbors in the future.
