Chapter Eighty-Four: When the Golden Pass

Under Li Wenyuan's special care, all the newspapers in the Western Regions, and even the newspapers published by Li Wenyuan's newspaper printing and distribution points in some important counties and counties in the Central Plains, also gave detailed and truthful accounts of the causes, process, and results of the trial of Guo Tuhu. At the same time, Li Wenyuan also personally sent a draft, once again emphasizing that the laws of the Western Regions promulgated by him were refined on the basis of completely abiding by the laws of the Great Sui.

Moreover, Li Wenyuan specifically pointed out that the sentence against Guo Tuhu this time is completely based on the law, and he also issued a notice to the people under his rule, not to be lucky, once they do something illegal, they will definitely be punished accordingly, without exception. As long as it is a crime committed in the Western Regions, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will definitely be arrested and brought to justice. If the Dharma is not respected, it will never appear again in the Western Regions from this time onwards.

On the table in front of Yang Guang, there was also such a newspaper at this time. For Li Wenyuan's compulsory enrollment of young children in the Western Regions, forcing adults to join literacy classes, educating the people to read and write, plus the two imperial examinations held in one article and one martial arts. They are all things that he wants to do very much, but although he is in a high position, he is not as open as Li Wenyuan when he does these things, and he can have no scruples. This was also the main reason why Yang Guang suppressed the idea of removing Li Wenyuan's head of the Western Regions even when he knew that Li Wenyuan had reorganized the military system of all the county governments in the Western Regions and openly no longer organized the army according to the establishment issued by the central government.

This form of newspaper is a new thing that Yang Guang has never seen. It has greatly shortened the distance between the people and the government. In addition, the human resources that were originally used to post government notices were saved, and some of the costs could even be recovered by selling newspapers. In addition, some far-reaching writers and scholars often publish some of their own opinions and comments on the current situation on it, which broadens the people's horizons and makes them no longer limited to the thoughts of small farmers who are well fed and clothed, which is also something that Yang Guang has always wanted to do but has no good solution.

As for the laws of the Western Regions, which were printed by Li Wenyuan using movable type printing and distributed on a large scale in the Western Regions, Yang Guang also ordered someone from the Imperial Historical Observatory to present a copy. However, after carefully reading the above laws, I also found that it was indeed as Li Wenyuan said, but the Great Sui Law was only refined to make it more suitable for implementation in the Western Regions. There is no sign of the law of a country that has left the imperial court behind.

Yang Guang wanted to be an emperor through the ages, and often compared himself to Emperor Qin and Han Wu. However, he also knew the difference between himself and the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, and the Han Wu Emperor relied on the policy of recuperation and recuperation with the people that his ancestors had always adhered to, and finally expelled the Xiongnu from the Hetao area with the strength of the whole country, expanded the territory to the north, and was respected by the world as the first emperor of the ages. And he has the eloquence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but because the people under his command are the remnants of various dynasties, although these people are ostensibly subject to the rule of the Sui Dynasty, but in the deeper place, the hidden danger of disintegration has been buried early. Looking at the present from the past, how similar is his situation at this time to Qin Shi Huang, who had just unified the six countries, could it be that his Great Sui would also die?

Yang Guang had thought about this question for a long time, and Qin Shi Huang always maintained a tolerant attitude towards the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. Not only did they entrust them with high-ranking officials, but they also entrusted them with the governance of counties and counties in various places, and they did no harm to them. However, when the nobles of the Six Kingdoms overthrew the Qin Dynasty in the end, they slaughtered the descendants of Qin Shi Huang. Since leniency will bring the consequences of extermination, it is better to strangle these hidden dangers in infancy. Thinking of this, Yang Guang said to Yu Shinan in front of him: "Urge Zhang Xutuo, who is suppressing bandits in Shandong, to quickly eliminate the bandits, deal with those who participate in the rebellion, and punish the nine clans, and will not tolerate it." ”

Immediately saw Li Wenyuan's recital on the table, and Yang Guang picked it up and flipped through it in his hand. According to the chapter, Li Wenyuan reported to himself that the Western Regions Army had been reorganized, and Li Liang would be exterminated in a few days. Yang Guang mentioned the brush stained with cinnabar and put a great kindness on the last page of the fold. put it aside, and then picked up the performance of the Jiangnan manager next to him and looked at it. After all, compared to the slightly desolate Western Regions at this time, Yang Guang still cared more about the rich Jiangnan.

"Brother Qin, you said that this is also strange. When we first came out of Wuwei County, it was still the height of summer. Why is it so cold after reaching the top of this mountain? Cheng Yanjin tightened the cloak on his body and said to Qin Qiong, who was riding a horse next to him.

"I've told you many times along the way, but you just won't listen. It's not a mountaintop, it's called a plateau, in the words of the Steward. It's higher than our Wuwei County. The higher the place, the colder, didn't listen to the poem of the manager, so that the world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. In other words, by the time of the beginning of April and summer, all the spring flowers have already withered, but the peach blossoms in the mountain temple have just bloomed. Qin Qiong untied a skin bag from the saddle, took a sip of the soju inside, and then handed it to Cheng Yanjin next to him.

"Doesn't that mean that the place where we are is a mountain? I'm right. After Cheng Yanjin took the skin and drank a sip of soju, he felt that his body was a little warmer, so he said unconvincedly.

"You've been such a flamboyant tongue since you were a child, and I don't talk to you much about these things. This time, the chief manager sent two of us to go to Xihai County with the Second Legion, seize Dunhuang County, and go to the only southern gate of Xihai County to be Jinshan Pass. You have also seen the reorganization training these days, and the Western Regions Army does not eat people and is sophisticated. If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you must accumulate military merits in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"Then Brother Qin, you didn't want to come over at first, if you want me to say what chance you have to be an officer under that Zhang Xutuo, the big officials there have already let those wine bags and rice bags occupy them, if you want me to say that you stay there is no hope of promotion at all, if it weren't for my iron bull's three-inch incorruptible tongue, you would have been moved. Hehe, my brother Qin, how can you have this time to personally take charge of the army. ”

"What are you talking about? How come the commander of this regiment does not know? What hysteria are you sowing here, talking about all this nonsense? He did not take his soldiers to the front camp to open the way for the army. Qin Qiong saw Cheng Biting Jin mentioning his old affairs again, and also pointed out that he was reluctant to come to the Western Regions to participate in the martial arts examination when he was greedy for the petty official position in Zhang Xutuo's army, and he was a little annoyed and angrily reprimanded Cheng Biting Jin.

How can he say that he has no clothes, and is with his son? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. In the sound of military songs floating out of the marching queue on the side, Qin Qiong's heart had already drifted to the end of his trip, when Jinshankou.
