The new round of the imperial court's campaign to crack down on the heroes of the rivers and lakes began in Chang'an City. The two fires that broke out one after another changed the fate of many people. The game and competition behind the high-level are unknown to ordinary people. But the great pursuit that took place under their eyes was a thunderbolt and a storm!

Whether they are the ultimate scapegoats, or they have long been willing to completely eradicate them, some Jianghu rangers are unlucky this time. After the queen mother saw the evidence that the murderer she said was not leaving the northern frontier and returning to Chang'an, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut in the face of the emperor's gaze. Subsequently, the Weiyang Palace unified its opinions, and the death of the king of Jiangdu was inseparable from those arrogant and arrogant high-rollers. The anger poured out on the so-called "bandits".

Since there is such a target, the Chang'an Mansion and the patrol guards, who are still guilty, are naturally all dispatched vigorously and resolutely. In accordance with the instructions of the imperial court and the emperor, a large-scale arrest was carried out. For a time, the prison was full. In the end, even Xi Fengwei also participated, and against those unruly and relatively large forces, such as Fan Zhongzi in Guanzhong, Zhao Wangsun in Huaili, Yao Jiazhuxiong in Hanzhong Dao, and Qiu Jing in Southeast Dao, they were tied to prisons and connected with many people. Subsequently, this large-scale pursuit campaign began to spread from the three counties of Chang'an to the counties of Tianxia.

In the Emperor's unpublished court precepts, the target was 150,000 prisoners, and it was clearly instructed that all of them would be sent to the steppe to build a city. Many of the ministers who heard it for the first time at the time could not help but be dumbfounded.

It has been a tradition since time immemorial to conscript convicts to perform hard labor. Whether it is the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the Warring States period, or the Spring and Autumn Qin and Han dynasties, this system of substituting service for punishment has always been implemented. However, like this time, it is an unprecedented operation to recruit 150,000 prisoners at one time according to the order of His Majesty the Emperor. Moreover, the objects this time are specific rangers, which is inevitably reminiscent of a lot.

I heard about what happened in the Changle Hou Mansion a few days ago, and there were many shadows of people in the rivers and lakes. Now they were immediately hit mercilessly, and if there was no Yuan Zhao's will to dominate this, then no one would believe it.

In the court, the emperor ordered the attendants in front of the palace to read it aloud in front of all the ministers of civil and military affairs. Everyone listened clearly.

It can be said that this is really a big operation. If it is really possible to build three big cities on the grassland, and draw the latest border between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu to the bank of the Yellow River in the Hetao grassland, then it is equivalent to putting half of the area of the Xiongnu grassland under the deterrence of the Han army, and the strategic significance is extremely significant. However, the risks involved in this have to be considered.

The first to question loudly was the imperial historian Zhang Tang. His reason is the same as Prime Minister Sun Hong's initial concerns, that is, if he wants to build a city on the vast grassland without any conditions, the financial and material resources consumed may not be affordable by the country!

The emperor nodded unchanged, but he didn't immediately say anything, he wanted to see how many of his courtiers could see through the cover of this temporary difficulty, and truly realize the significance of the great city after it was built.

The result made him a little disappointed, and after some discussion, it was still the majority who thought that the harm outweighed the good. In addition to some of the old ministers, even some of the new courtiers whom he personally selected and promoted also showed a lot of concerns, and raised many difficulties that seemed to be insurmountable in the eyes of ordinary people.

Of course, there are many strong supporters and favors. In particular, Sima Xiangru, a doctor in the middle school, stood up and loudly expressed his approval with his experience in governing Yixin County in the southwest. After the rebellion in the southwest was put down and the county was divided into counties, two new cities were built as county offices at the strategic locations, which soon became the center of all aspects, and played a great role in deterring the people from returning to the people. The reason why the Southwest Yi region was able to quickly calm down and prosper in just two or three years is that it has played an indispensable role in this regard.

Others who expressed their approval included Ji Dian, Shi Kuan, Zhong Jun and others. Most of them were out of trust in Yuan Zhao, believing that since he put forward this suggestion, there would definitely be a reasonable way, and they would definitely not lose more money than they would lose because of the construction of these heroic cities.

Taizhong Doctor Zheng was more thoughtful at that time. As an important minister of the imperial court, who doesn't want the Han Dynasty to open up its territory to the north and consolidate its land forever! However, some practical difficulties have to be taken into account in advance. Especially as the person in charge of the country's wealth, of course, he had to calculate this account in advance for the imperial court.

Emperor Liu Che finally finished listening to the discussion of his ministers, and then a strange expression appeared on his face. It's as if it's a secret admiration, or it's like an unpredictable prophet who amazes someone. He stretched out his hand and motioned for the attendant to read the other item on the table to the ministers below.

Thus, no matter whether they were in favor or against just now, and no matter what kind of questions and concerns were raised, they all heard the perfect answer to all this in this recital that Changle Hou Yuanzhao had attached.

“…… The major roles of these three cities are all of the above, so there is no need to go into details. As for the various inconveniences, the minister has already laid out detailed solutions for His Majesty...... The only people needed to build a city were manpower, material resources, financial resources, and transportation...... In terms of manpower, more than 100,000 laborers are enough, and His Majesty has his own way. In terms of financial resources, the imperial treasury only needs to contribute half of it, and the other half is financed by the ministers themselves. There are wealthy businessmen in the north, and the enthusiasm for participating in this matter is very high, and the imperial court does not need to take care of it, and it will be ......good to share part of its interests in the future. ”

Listening to the attendants in the main hall reciting Yuan Zhao's original words in a low voice, everyone straightened up and pricked up their ears to listen carefully. In the detailed description one by one, the problems that I once worried about have been satisfactorily resolved. Many people have a strange feeling that although the little marquis is thousands of miles away, it seems that he is standing in front of him at this moment, answering everyone's questions.

“…… For these three cities, the minister planned to try a new way of building. The kind of cement that the ministers gave to the court for free can just be used. In addition, there was a new technique for firing kiln bricks, which the ministers would also pass on to the relevant personnel sent by the imperial court to supervise the construction of the city, and the construction of the city with these main materials could be impregnable. Moreover, it can be used locally to reduce the cumbersome transportation...... As for some other building materials and various materials that need to be transported from the Central Plains, there is no need to worry about the difficulty of transporting thousands of miles. After several years of development, the communication of the major water systems has already extended in all directions, the transport fleet from the land of Guanhan to the source of the rivers of the plateau, and then turn into the Yellow River straight down thousands of miles to reach the Hetao grassland, this is the simplest transportation route ....... ”

The plan has been done in such detail, and all aspects have been considered accurately and thoroughly, hearing this, no matter what kind of attitude people have towards Yuan Zhao, they have to be deeply impressed! In their eyes, the fact that there were many difficulties and that if it was not done well, it was possible to repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty in building the Great Wall, but in Yuan Zhao's understated analysis, it was so easy.

Before people in the world do things, some people will say that they are fanciful and exaggerated, but in practice, they are simply empty and not feasible. And some people speak in a nuanced and well-organized way, and they know that it is the most feasible way to do it. Of course, everyone here has their own analytical ability and sober judgment. As long as they thought about it for a while, they already understood that every word Yuan Zhao said was definitely not a rhetoric on paper, but a reality that they could start doing immediately.

Therefore, when the attendant in front of the palace finished reading this recital from thousands of miles away, the matter had already been decided. There was no need for the emperor to take a little more tongue, and there was no need for any more heated debates, and a piece of music of less than a thousand words unified the minds of all the ministers.

No court resolution has ever reached such unprecedentedly unanimous unanimity as this one. Even some people who are reluctant to oppose it will never be able to say anything about it. Therefore, after the Great Dynasty was dispersed, many high-ranking officials of the Houmen who had close ties with the rivers and lakes secretly ordered their subordinates to quickly cut off all communication channels with them, and they had to do it neatly. By the way, some information and information were secretly provided to the court people who had already begun to act. It's been the same throughout the ages, these Jianghu guests and murder knives that are no longer useful, let's send them where they should go!

Countless car loss, unloading and killing donkeys, betrayal and betrayal, cold-blooded and ruthless...... From Chang'an to the counties of the world, it is staged one after another. In the face of such a general trend, personal martial arts can not do anything, even if the powerful Jianghu hawker gang forces, there is no way to confront the will of the imperial court. It seems that the only means of resistance is to flee.

But can you escape? Under the stern orders of His Majesty the Emperor, the imperial court had the means to deal with them. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land! Under the joint action of Xifengwei, Tingwei, county and county governments, and local garrisons, the 150,000 "labor prisoners" who went out to build the three cities were quickly gathered.

Outside Chang'an City, covered in blood, Zhu Anshi, who finally fought and fled at night, opened his angry eyes, took one last look at the towering city wall, and with endless hatred in his heart, he embarked on the road of fleeing the world alone.

Due to the betrayal of the forces behind the shelter of them, almost everyone in Chang'an City of Kyushu Hidden Gate was wiped out in this operation. The brothers who stayed after the death of his father Zhu Xiong died and were taken away, and he was the only one who escaped. This person with a deep hatred made a bloody oath, and when he returns again, Chang'an City will be a river of blood!
