The administrative region of Shaanxi is entirely formed by its geographical characteristics.

It has Zhongtiao Mountain in the north, Kunshan Mountain in the south, Huashan Mountain in the west, is sandwiched in it, only to the east and the Mianchi of Henan Province, and then the Yellow River comes from the wall of the southeast boundary of the river, and splits through one of the counties from the state.

The water of the Yellow River, stretching more than ten miles wide, the vast soup soup, the weather is thousands, galloping like a dragon, coming from the west, unstoppable, along the road at the big stone on the river bank, hitting out one huge whirlpool after another, the water vapor in the roar is like white mist surging, wetting Gao Yue's clothes.

In the northeast of Kipshi County, Shaanzhou, Gao Yue stood on the straight bank, heard the sound of the trumpet, and then saw a group of merchant ships with small flags, the hull of which was not very large, because the Yellow River from Heyin to Weishui did not allow too large ships to sail, and they were difficult to rise and fall in the waves, in order to seek one-tenth of the profit of floating food, they risked going upstream.

Their destination is the Dayang Bridge, which is further west of the Sanmenxia Pillar.

Gao Yuele turned his horse's head, and in parallel with this group of merchant ships, the horse's hooves were light, and within twenty miles, he saw Pillar Mountain again.

The mainstay, namely Sanmenxia, its mountain is like a pillar, standing in the Yellow River, the river water is diverted here, the shape is like three gates, it is said that Yu is chiseled through for dredging the big river, Emperor Han Cheng had wanted to drill the pillar to drill wider, but it made the water potential of the Yellow River more violent, countless craftsmen were buried in it, such as knowing that manpower could not win the sky.

Tang because of the capital of Chang'an, the Kanto rice grain must be transported from the pillar by Cao, the ship capsized here countless, everyone heard the pillar three doors and the color changed to be terrified, Pei Yaoqing presided over the Cao Yun three years to transport grain seven million stones, since then, the cost is not calculated, and even at that time there was a "rice bucket money luck" in the world.

When Li Mi was in the prime of affairs, he ordered to open a land route by the side of the pillar, and paved a return lane on its side, so that all the ship's supplies were changed to carriages and horses to be transported by land, and after passing the pillar, it was changed to a boat to Dayang Bridge.

Gao Yue also saw that on the cliffs on the banks of the river on both sides of the pillar, there were also zigzag plank roads, countless long wear marks on the stone walls of the plank road, and many iron rings and grooves protruded, and rusty stains, which were the traces left by the slender man when the ship passed through the three gates before, which was shocking.

In order to keep the heart of the empire beating, countless blood is gathered, and the pillar is like an embolism in a vein, like a tail in a great river, and if anything goes wrong here, the huge empire can easily fail to function or even collapse suddenly.

"Lang Jun, Gao Lang Jun." In the roar of the river, Gao Yue heard someone calling to him after a long time.

On a protruding and suspended boulder near the river, looking from afar, it was actually An Lao Hu'er carrying a food box, beckoning to himself from a distance.

"Husband." Gao Yue got off the horse and stepped forward to hug An Lao Hu'er, who was about to salute.

Lao Hu'er is already very old, and the years are not forgiving, but isn't he a cook at my father-in-law's house?

At this time, An Lao Hu'er pointed to the eaves behind him and said that Liu Xianggong wanted to eat my steamed Hu again, so he sent someone to invite Xiao Lao'er out of Beijing.

Hearing this, Gao Yue's chest suddenly became clogged.

"Yi Song is here?" A familiar voice came from the eaves, but far from being as clear as it had been at that time, it had become old and muddy.

Liu Zongjing walked over, lifted the curtain, and said loudly: "It's Ji Gong who has come to see you!" ”

Then Zongjing carefully helped his father, who was lying on his back, out of the eaves.

At this time, Liu Yan's hair had thinned a lot, his forehead was protruding, his right hand was suffering from wind paralysis and could not move freely, and his eyes began to be poor.

It wasn't until Gao Yue came to his eyes that he could see clearly.

In the end, the curtain of the eaves was removed and used as a bed, allowing the thin Liu Yan to sit on it.

Gao Yue knelt on the pu mat next to him and sat with Liu Zongjing.

Farther away, Liu Yan's old servant Wanda, squatting there, like a clay sculpture, now he is completely deaf, and his eyes can't see, it is not easy to follow his master from Huazhou to here.

"Yisong, do you remember that chance encounter between you and me in the snowstorm? I told you that even though I had a bad career, I still wanted to go further. Liu Yan said leisurely, "That's right, what I wanted at that time was to enter the political hall as the prime minister." ”

Gao Yue was silent.

"It's a pity, at that time I said that my sideburns were frosty white, and now more than ten years have passed in a hurry, and I am about to die. But I also figured it out, I, Tang, would not let the courtiers who collected wealth be the real prime minister, I was just wishful thinking at that time......"

"Master Yan, why do you say that you are the minister of Soukuo?"

Liu Yan laughed and said to Gao Yue, yes, I was the courtier who went to Jianghuai to search for the fifth Qi, and now it is Yisong's turn for you to do this, but the times have changed: I Tang did not allow the ministers of wealth to be the real prime minister, but when you come to Yisong, you are the real prime minister and the country's financial resources, maybe in another twenty or thirty years, you will really let the ministers of wealth enter the political hall as the real prime minister - because for the emperor, money and food are becoming more and more important.

Whoever controls the wealth and fortune will control the destiny of the country.

"Yisong, I know what you think, you are ready to reform Caoyun, gather half of the world, especially the financial resources of the southeast of Jianghuai, organize and train a new army, and then pacify Ziqing and Heshuo, and reunify the country. Most of the strategies I asked you before, you have not only successfully trained troops in the northwest camp, but also recovered Longyou and Hexi, and now I want to hear how you are going to implement your reform method in Jianghuai? ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yue locked his eyebrows and bowed his hands in silence.

There are some thoughts, he doesn't know whether to say to Liu Yan or not.

"Say it." Liu Yan's eyes were full of gentleness, and he encouraged Gao Yue, "Are you still afraid of an old man who is about to die?" ”

At this time, Gao Yue spoke: "The first one is to change the route of Caoyun, and then to abolish Master Yan's false estimation method. ”

But Liu Yan seemed to have understood a long time ago, squinted his eyes, and sighed slightly, "False assessment of the law is not a disadvantage of the law, but a disadvantage of the time. In our country, the soldiers in the northwest need spring and winter clothes, and a large number of silk cloth is also needed to buy horses from the Uighurs, and Henan is broken, and the river is divided, and the silk cloth can only rely on the Jianghuai, and a horse is worth four dollars, so the method of false estimation is carried out, so that the salt merchants can pay more silk cloth and transport it to Beijing and the northwest; However, now that a horse of silk cloth is not worth 800 yuan, it has dropped by five times, and the merchant still uses the price of four times per horse to offset the salt money, and it is time to abolish it. ”

Not only that, the government levied taxes in Jianghuai, and all demanded money, so the people first exchanged the woven cloth for money, so the people's cloth could only be converted into 800 yuan, and every summer tax, the number of folded cloth was very large for a while, and the price fell to 500 wen a horse, but after the people handed over the cloth, the local government still used the price of four yuan per horse to offset the two taxes, and wantonly sought personal interests in the middle. It has not been a year or two for the people to suffer from this. ”

"Then what should you do with Yisong?"
