100,000 people, equivalent to the average big city in the Central Plains, Wang Yuanzhi praised: "Guogong is really wonderful, but the poor road can't help." ”

Yang Chong shook his head and said: "The Taoist is modest, since every doctrine can be opened, Taoism is also a discipline. ”

Wang Yuanzhi looked at Zhang Guolao and asked: "Yue Guogong, the Ming people don't say dark words, according to the poor Dao's opinion, as long as Yue Guogong is willing, the Central Plains can be pacified within a year or two, and Chang'an University may not be necessary." ”

Yang Chong stood up, looked at the waves of Kunming Pool, and said with high spirits: "Dao Chang, the world is so big, there is more than one Central Plains, the reunification of the Great Sui is only the first step in rejuvenation, and the sea of stars behind it will be a new world." ”

Wang Yuanzhi seemed to see Yang Guang twenty years ago, who was also so young and full of ambition, and couldn't help but persuade: "Yue Guogong, don't go to war with foreign countries easily, two generations of emperors, four crusades to the east, countless losses of national strength, once the Central Plains is unified, it is still to rest and recuperate." ”

There was a calm in the compartment, in fact, Yu Xuan and Duhu Hong, who were not far away, heard the conversation of several people, the topic was so high-end, everyone lost interest in drinking, only Gong Yizhuo raised his wine glass again, drank it all and said: "Good wine." ”

Yang Chong acted as if nothing had happened, got up and leaned on the wooden ox that was used as a railing, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, do you know why the Hu clan outside the Saiwai wants to enter the Central Plains? ”

"Survival." Wang Yuanzhi's face became solemn, and he walked over and stood side by side with Yang Chong and said: "The products outside the Saiwai are not rich enough, no matter how hard all ethnic groups try, it is a poor place compared to the Central Plains, so they have developed a strong style of the people immediately, and seizing the materials and territory of the Central Plains has become a hobby when the Hu people are strong." ”

Yang Chong nodded and said: "So in the eyes of many people, the outside of the plug is a pit that cannot be filled, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty won the victory against the Xiongnu, but the treasury is exhausted; The Hu people are weakened, and even more are rising, and their hearts for the Central Plains have never changed. In fact, from another point of view, Hu Ren's idea is not so terrible, do you know that the big eaters know? In every famine year, the hungry people themselves could not survive, so they either went to work as domestic slaves, or rallied together to eat or seize grain from the rich landlords. ”

Gong Yizhuo drank another glass of wine, his face was red, and he patted the case proudly: "Good analogy!" ”

Wang Yuanzhi thought for a long time, sighed and said: "Yue Guogong's analysis is really incisive, you want to turn some of the hungry people into domestic slaves, I am afraid that the jackal will raise it and bite back." ”

Yang Chong smiled and said, "I might as well tell you in advance, there is no grain produced abroad, and it is not a little grain." ”

Sun Simiao and the others are all top figures in various industries, and they were also taken aback when they heard it, Duhu asked in disbelief: "For thousands of years, from the Xiongnu to the Turks, why didn't they discover this, the Central Plains has also occupied the outside of the Saiwai several times, and they also need to be supplied by the army, and countless grain teams are consumed every year. ”

Yu Wenkai instead came forward to speak for Yang Chong: "What Yang Chong said may not be unreasonable, since Tuyuhun was forced to the Chaka area, followed our advice, planted barley and wheat on the plain plateau, and traded with us in green salt, Tuyuhun's current living standard is higher than in the past, and the Chaka City has been expanded." ”

Chaka green salt is a brand launched by Hexi Commercial Bank in Chang'an, Tuyuhun people exchange green salt for food, daily necessities and bricks to build a city, Duhu did not refute, but continued to ask Yang Chong: "Once Tuyuhun recovers, if it comes back, what should I do?" ”

Yang Chong asked with a smile, "Which clan is Zhao Guogong?" ”

Duhu was terrified and shocked, the Duhu clan is an authentic Xianbei person, but after hundreds of years of development, the Duhu family has already considered itself a Han person, Yang Chong snapped his fingers and said: "Since the Sixteen Kingdoms, the northern ethnic groups have been integrated, and Tuyuhun is also a Xianbei person, and the reason why they have not been integrated is because they have been outside the life circle of the Central Plains." When the Qiang people rise on the plateau, Tuyuhun will fall to us, the key is whether we can defeat Tubo, or the harsh climate on the plateau. ”

Gong Yi nodded with a smile, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it with his neck tilted; Duhu was not satisfied with Yang Chong's digression, there are indeed Meng, Faqiang, Mitang, Yak and other tribes on the plateau, but if you want to rise, how can it be so simple, the expansion of each tribe is through a long war to win. Yang Chong saw Duhu's emotion, and returned to the topic outside the Saiwai and said: "I hope that the Turks can also live in peace with us like Tuyuhun. ”

Wang Yuanzhi picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, and said with a sigh: "This is the reason why you agree to redeem the city with the year's coins?" ”

Yang Chong patted the wooden cow beside him and said: "Money and things outside the body, the land of the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains are the foundation of the country, even if they are not under our jurisdiction now, they are also the land and people of the Great Sui." Wang Daochang, before returning to Luoyang, you help persuade Wang Shichong, don't toss anymore, I don't want to kill, but sometimes I have to kill. ”

Everyone shook their heads, becoming a king and defeating a king, not many heroes would believe that Yang Chongken let go of himself who had been against him, Wang Shichong's current mentality is very normal. Wang Yuanzhi saw Yang Chong's sincerity and agreed very seriously; Wang Yuanzhi has an insight into human nature, and knows that the more ambitious a person like Yang Chong, if he turns his temper to kill people, he may be more courageous than Wang Shichong, and it can be seen that in the first battle of Luoyang, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians died in five days.

Master Jizang suddenly asked: "Yue Guogong, where did the money for building the city come from?" ”

This is what the big guy cares about, if you need to donate, then I'm sorry, this matter needs to be discussed, except for Yu Wenkai, I'm afraid no one will do the wrong. Yang Chong pulled Wang Yuanzhi back to his seat and sat down, and waited for a group of students to serve grilled fish and hot dishes before he said slowly: "Each has its own construction, so senior brother, I need Mozhuo Academy to produce drawings and have a unified plan." ”

Duhu usurped a grilled fish and said, "No problem, you are the majority shareholder of the academy, you have the final say." What do you think of the mountain chief of Chang'an University, I should have come here today to select this person, right? ”

Yes, speaking of the hundreds of schools, but whoever is the chief of the mountain can naturally occupy a little more resources, and Yang Chong's original intention for today's gathering should also be to determine the candidate, and the preparations for the future will be handed over to this person. Yang Chong paused and said: "I don't have a suitable candidate, Gai Wenyi and Yuan Tiangang are okay, the qualifications to serve as the mountain chief are too shallow, you have a suitable recommendation." ”

The most qualified of Yang Chong's subordinates were Yu Wenkai and Liu Xuan, but both of them made up their minds not to be officials anymore, so Yang Chong didn't even discuss with Yu Wenkai first, so as not to give other schools the illusion that they were being played.
