Chapter 40 The Hedong Family

"Oh! And that kind of thing. "Liu Xie is overjoyed, Hedong is really a good place, there is salt and iron, which are all strategic necessities for the future.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty! Nowadays, iron tools are becoming more and more important, weapon casting and smelting are much more clever than before, the sharpness of iron is far better than bronze, if it can be mined and refined on a large scale, it will be able to strengthen the army. ”

In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even throughout the Three Kingdoms period, the princes fought thanks to bronze weapons, and iron tools rarely occupied only two layers, which were basically used by generals.

Of course, the arrow cluster is the most frequently used, after all, it is not easy to make an arrow cluster in bronze, and the lethality is not as good as iron.

Liu Xie couldn't help but appreciate Jia Xu more and more, this person's vision is beyond ordinary people, and he can see far-reaching.

The future must be the world of iron, bronze will decline, will soon lose the market, in the late Three Kingdoms, there is no large army to fight, the supply of iron weapons has been satisfied, bronze has basically bid farewell to the historical stage.

So Liu Xie immediately called Xu Huang over and asked one or two.

Xu Huang simply replied: "Your Majesty! There is indeed an iron prison in the east of the river, and there is more than one, there are not many mines next to the Wuxing Lake, mainly concentrated in the mountains near Anyi City and Jiechi, but ......"

Originally, the iron ore was also concentrated in the solution pool, which was a good thing, and in the future, there would be a city to sit in charge of salt and iron.

It's just that Xu Huang wanted to speak and stopped, and Liu Xie asked: "Why is Gongming spitting, you are not a person of this character, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xu Huang then said: "Your Majesty! These iron ores are all controlled by the family, and they are not in the county guard's mansion, for example, the iron ore near the lake of the five surnames is in the hands of the Liu family in Jiecheng. ”

"The Liu family? This is the great clan of Hedong? Liu Xie asked.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family has gradually grown, and the place has been controlled by the family, and the Liu family can control the iron mines near here, which must be a small family in Hedong.

"Your Majesty! The Liu family is one of the best families in Hedong, ranking second, and its strength should not be underestimated, and the officials of Jiecheng are all controlled by the Liu family. Xu Huang explained.

Liu Xie became even more curious when he heard this: "The Liu family is ranked second, is there a family that is higher than them, a higher grade." ”

At this time, there was no need for Xu Huang to say, Jia Xu on the side had already guessed some eyebrows, and said, "Your Majesty!" This first-class family should be the Wei family of Anyi, and the Wei family is also a big family with great influence in the country, the Liu family of Xie County and the Pei family of Xiwen should be the second-class family of Hedong, and the others are small families. ”

Hearing Jia Xu mention this, Liu Xie became more interested, and asked about nothing: "Oh! Jia Aiqing has some understanding of these, but she doesn't know what the situation of these three families is, and how this Wei family has become a first-class family of my Han family. ”

Jia Xu replied: "Your Majesty, this Wei family has a great background, but after the general of Changping Houwei during the time of Emperor Wu, he was praised and favored by the court for generations, and the sons of heaven in all dynasties have been commended and rewarded to show that the Han Dynasty treats meritorious ministers preferentially. ”

Changping Hou!

Only one person in the entire 400-year-old Han Dynasty has had this name, and it has a far-reaching influence, striking Wei Qing for more than 1,000 miles in the hinterland of the Xiongnu.

Unexpectedly, the first family in Hedong turned out to be a descendant of Wei Qing.

Mentioning that the Wei family was enjoying the scenery on the side, Cai Yan's second daughter's face changed slightly, and she glanced at Liu Xie and the others, and went back to the carriage with her head down without playing.

Liu Xie didn't notice the difference between the two, and asked again: "Then the Liu family and the Pei family should also have a great background!" ”

Liu Xie of the Pei family has heard of it, after all, I am glad to hear that the Pei family is one of the most famous families in the two Jin Dynasty and the Sui and Tang dynasties, and has the title of one of the seven great families.

However, in Dahan, it is only a medium-sized family at this time, and it can only rank second in Hedong, let alone in the entire Dahan.

"Your Majesty is right, Liu and Pei are all listed, among which the Liu family is the most famous, and if you mention one person, Your Majesty must know." Jia Xu touched his beard and continued:

"The minister tells a story that His Majesty knows who he is, in ancient times, there was a dense willow forest in the west of Zhangou, and on a late autumn night, when Zhan Shu passed through the willow forest, he suddenly encountered a downpour. He hurriedly hid in a ruined temple to take shelter from the rain.

At this moment, a young woman also came to take shelter from the rain and sat opposite him. In the middle of the night, the young woman woke up from the cold, so she got up and begged to sit in Zhan Shu's arms to warm herself from the cold.

Zhan Shu hurriedly excused himself: 'I can't help it, in the wilderness, it is already inappropriate for lonely men and widows to be together, and if you sit on my arms again, it will be even more immoral." ”

"Sit still and don't mess up - Megumi Yanagishita!" Liu Xie suddenly realized that the origin of the Liu family was this guy, and he couldn't help laughing:

"It is said that Yanagishita Megumi is a saint, I don't think so, I think he was weak at that time, either his physiology is not good, or his body is too cold, in short, he can't do it!"

Or the woman is too ugly, of course, Liu Xie didn't say this.

"Ugh!" Xu Huang and Jia Xu were both stunned, the Son of Heaven turned this into a new and strange discussion, and they both smiled bitterly, and Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty guessed right, Yanagi Hui's original name was Zhan!" Because its fief is under the willow, the name is Hui, and the world is called Liuxia Hui!

In the minister's opinion, most of this matter was fabricated by posterity, Yanagishita Hui is a doctor, how can there be no one around to follow and protect, and it is not a war, why is it so that he walks at night in the wilderness. ”

Everything is not scrutinized, Liu Xia Hui is a bit nonsense, Liu Xie talked happily, turned around, and then found that Cai Yan's second daughter was gone, and couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Cai's family!" ”

"Your Majesty! Just now, when you mentioned the three major families in Hedong, Miss Cai and Miss Xiaohuan went back to the carriage. Hong Nan, the head of the guard, said.

Defend the family! Liu Xie listened and stared at the carriage thoughtfully.

Following!

Liu Xie asked people to lead the way to see the land where iron ore is produced, originally Yang Cheng and Bai Bo wanted to stop it, but Liu Xie's tone was tough, and the four of them were not forced to comply.

Liu Xie took people to find the iron ore cave, and the four of them gathered together and started a dirty meeting.

"The Son of Heaven is getting stronger and stronger, which is not good for us!"

"That's it! He really treats us as retainers and slaves, and we can stop when we want to, and leave when we want to. ”

"Let's let him play for a few days for the time being, everything is up to him when he arrives in Anyi, let's discuss it, and let him give him a general at that time, first of all, Your Majesty promised me to be a general, do you think about it." Yang Feng is arrogant, and he considers himself the first meritorious minister.

This time, the Son of Heaven returned to the east, but he made great efforts, suffered the most losses, and made the greatest contributions.

The three of them looked at Yang Cheng, and then glanced at each other, and they all saw a trace of dissatisfaction in each other's eyes, Yang Cheng is a general, this is the highest level among military attachés, this is not to say that Yang Cheng is a head above them, why!

"I want a hussar general! but also the lieutenant of the school, as well as the county waiter. Han Xian said.

Yang Cheng asked for a general, he at least couldn't fall out of line, he asked for the second hussar general, the four generals are actually virtual officials, useful in wartime, and they will be withdrawn as soon as the war stops without military power.

So he asked for a real power official position to supervise the Jingshi and supervision, so that he was on an equal footing with Yang Cheng.

Hu Cai saw that Han Xian was so shameless, and then said: "Then I want to ride the general!" At the very least, you have to wait for the countryside. ”

Li Le couldn't help but slander, your special action is very fast, and there is no negotiation, so he had to say: "Then I will be the general of Wei, and I can't be lower than the villager." ”

Yang Yan's face couldn't help but twitch slightly, you TM are so shameless, all of them are hussar generals, chariot generals, and Wei generals, and Lao Tzu's general still has a P.

The most unbearable thing is that you are all county candidates, township candidates, and Lao Tzu does not even have a title.
