Chapter 270: The Way Out of the Achievement Competition
Some people say that people should get used to being busy, because this can at least prove that you are still alive, and you are living a good life, Liu Xu doesn't know if running around and being busy can come to an end. As for how well he can live, this is really difficult to judge, for example, compared to Quan Gai Suwen, Liu Xu feels that he can live a decent life.
Under Anshi, the flag of the Tang Dynasty fluttered in the wind, Liu Xu felt that he and Quangai Suwen were very similar to Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk in Journey to the West, one stood on the shore and the other stood in the river, shouting in his mouth, Wu that thief, do you dare to come up, or rather, do you dare to come down? scolded for a long time, and then found that it was useless, Liu Xu would not enter the city, and Quangai Suwen would not go out of the city easily.
Xue Rengui once again returned in vain, no matter how good his archery skills were, he was helpless five hundred steps away, and besides, Quangai Suwen was still shrouded in armor, unless it was a sniper rifle in later generations, the current longbow was a hundred steps away, what could he do?
"Don't worry, the army hasn't come over yet, let's just spend it here, observe the terrain, if he can't help but go out of the city and sneak attack, let's escape." Oh, by the way, Rengui, I heard that you led people to the Potala Palace? Hey, what's good, what's going on the plateau? ”
Liu Xu is very leisurely, and even set up a national stove under the city, cook and eat, the taste must be good, just to be hungry for the people in the city, I can't beat you, I can't be angry with you?
As for Xue Rengui, the cattle man is really still a cattle man, he has been guarding Gaochang for many years, and the countries of the Western Regions, when they heard his name, they all trembled, and they were full of murderous energy, Lu Dongzan heard his name, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh because this guy burned down the Potala Palace, almost destroying this famous heavenly palace.
"It's nothing to look at, I went up dizzy, my grandfather is right, that place, unless we conquer it at one time, otherwise it is difficult to fight down, and now the Tubo people are also proficient, even if he has one or two times more guards than you, he will not fight hard with you, you go to fight, he will run away, the wall is clear, the barley will not give you any left, at most you can get one or two bison, that thing is long-haired, can be milked, can be killed and eaten, but can not plow the field, useless. The people there are very poor, but they are both men and women, they are equipped with weapons, those with knives and guns, those who do not carry an iron tool, and those who do not have it, then take a piece of wood, and fight with the wild people of Lingnan, they are not afraid of death, you want to rob their things, they can fight with you, but if you don't rob, their tribal leaders will treat you as the most honored guest, and the women who are full of sheep's smell will be used by them to entertain you, climb on your meadow bed, and they will not be able to drive them away, if you reward them with a piece or two of cloth, They will treat you as a benefactor, if you reward tea and salt, you are the god in their mouths, I once used salt tea to exchange war horses with them, it is very cost-effective. ”
Liu Xu nodded when he heard this, then took out a pack of beef jerky from his arms and threw it to him.
"I don't know if you will be sent by His Majesty to guard Liaodong, if not, after you go back, you can exchange for some long-haired cattle, the long-haired cowhide can be used to make clothes, cow tendons can be used to make bows and arrows, as for the meat, slaughtered, just like this, put it in a pot and cook it, cut it into slices, and then the fruit is covered with wild peppercorns, salt, and then dried, and pulled to Guanzhong to sell, to ensure that you make a lot of money."
Xue Rengui smiled innocently, then reached into his arms, and also took out a packet of beef jerky, blushing a little and begging his grandfather to taste it.
Liu Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, people now, how many fools are there, Xue Rengui just looks a little honest, but he is actually very smart, otherwise, he would not have become a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Taking off the hat and retreating from all enemies, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not impossible to do. In this way, you can see how terrifying this honest guy is.
"Yun Yan's lady helped sell it, and Neizi is still taking care of it in Gaochang now, and those natives don't trust other people."
Liu Xu nodded, and then frowned.
"The people left in the house are reliable, right?"
Xue Rengui nodded, and Liu Xu was relieved.
"That's it, doing business is doing business, but you don't have to fight with your life, it's not worth it, the natives of Tubo are fine, but Lu Dongzan has never given up, conscience is a luxury for him, it is very likely, while you leave, you will come down and snatch it."
Xue Rengui bowed down to thank Liu Xu for his concern, and when he saw Liu Xu sigh, he always felt a little selfish.
"Over the years, tying you to my Liu family is also a loss to you, with your talents, getting ahead, in fact, it is very simple, the reason why you are recruited back from Gaochang is because of this, Datang is now all planning for their own people, I Liu Xu has been stupid for so many years, I have wronged you for so many years, and now it is time to do something for you, three thousand people, not much, but not a lot, now, it will be handed over to you to command, see the city wall, one is the famous general Yang Wanchun of Goguryeo, this old man, That time we came to Goguryeo, it was to beat him upset, and gritted his teeth with hatred for us, one was Quangai Suwen, the executor of Goguryeo's iron-blooded policy, you look around, this guy knows that we are coming, the wall is clear, this is planning to fight to the death with us, two people, which one is not easy to deal with, I am ready to go up tomorrow to read the holy decree, as long as the holy decree is read, we should fight, as long as you can take one of them, you are a great achievement, as for those armies behind you, don't care, I will bear it for you! ”
Xue Rengui's eyes were a little sour, and then he bowed down suddenly, Liu Xu exhaled deeply and patted him on the shoulder.
"You remember, with meritorious service, don't think about running to Chang'an, it's too depressing to live there, sometimes, it can make you crazy, try to let Your Majesty transfer you out, a feudal ambassador, live much more comfortably than Chang'an. Also, in the future, no matter where you are, don't easily try to carry the court and the emperor on your back, they have too many ways to know what you want to do, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, these are all living examples. ”
"If you stay in Liaodong, you actually have a lot of choices, Goguryeo is bound to lose, prisoners of war, these are actually very easy to deal with, you look for specialized talents, to find iron mines, coal mines, these things, there are many here in Liaodong, and then repair the road, don't rush to the tribes in the north, those savages, take money and grain to buy, it is much more cost-effective than using bows and arrows, as long as you use more brains and expand the territory, no one can take it away."
This is a big plan, Liu Xu has actually prepared it for a long time, but it has not been implemented, the use of coal in Datang is actually very common, as for iron ore, from ancient times to the present, and even extended to future generations, he has never been eliminated, as for the agriculture of the black soil, Liu Xu did not think about it for the time being, the current Datang, in fact, the grain is enough, and in the academy, some people have begun to study hybrid rice, and I don't know if they will succeed, but this is a good prospect, isn't it?
The road after the Tang Dynasty must be a road of expansion for hegemony, it depends on whether this road is long or not, Li Er's plan is very powerful, he is now preparing a national policy, that is, to encourage childbirth, men and women are the same, it is normal to give birth to three, there will be rewards for giving birth to four, give birth to five, okay, fifty yuan of money, in addition, one more, you will share one more acre of land in your family!
There are no prisoners of war to kill now, Li Er's lack of people has gone crazy, in the past, the prisoners of war were not treated as people, so that you were tired and sick to death, but now no, not to mention how good, three meals a day, a meal of gruel is definitely a lot, you can still eat a dry meal in two days, and you can also see a little minced meat, just to raise the prisoners of war better, and do more things for his Li dynasty.
People are needed everywhere, building roads, repairing canals, farming, mulberry, factories, crews, houses, people are needed everywhere, so Li Er was in a hurry to fight Goguryeo, the Yangtze River Bridge, a great cause destined for thousands of generations, he wanted to see it before he closed his eyes, so when Liu Xu left Chang'an, Li Ke and Li Tai had already gone to Yuezhou again.
The current politics is actually obvious, Li Er doesn't care how you fight, what he wants is political achievements, you Xu Jingzong can pit Liu Xu into the dung pit, but you have to do what you have to do well, it's a pity that he Xu Jingzong can't make other political achievements now except for biting others everywhere.
The eldest grandson Wuji was different, on the first day he returned to the court, he loudly expounded his theory and expanded Luoyang! Why, because when Yuezhou and the South China Sea are becoming more and more economically developed, Chang'an, which is in the northwest, can no longer meet the needs of being a capital, and large ships cannot enter Chang'an through the canal in large quantities. Therefore, Luoyang, in the middle of the Linli Canal, has become the second choice, where the river surface is wider and closer to the south. Large ships are also fully capable of coming in together.
Of course, Changsun Wuji is not only this point of view, the second suggestion, that is, to expand Yuezhou, Zhuo County, Hangzhou, especially Yuezhou, Changsun Wuji is very bold to put forward a term, "Nandu"! caused an uproar inside and outside the court. Many people say that Luoyang, the eastern capital, is no problem, Luoyang has been the capital of several dynasties, but Yuezhou? What's more, it's too far away from the Central Plains, and in the past, it was called a barbarian land!
"Barbarians? Hmph, the vast has not opened, the world is barbarian, the emperor set the princes, the saints went out of the customs, created the Central Plains holy scene, and stood tall for thousands of years, but because of this, a big river and a Qinling Mountains blocked our eyes. What are we proud of, the thousand-year-old Wenhua heritage, that's all, right? But do you think others can't learn it? Let me tell you, in today's Yuezhou, the official language, arithmetic, physics, and medicine have been popularized, and they are all not bad! ”
"You all participate in Liu Xu's rebellion and the like, tell you, the old man also wants to participate! But the old man can't bear it, you stay in the prosperous Central Plains all day long, stick to your old thoughts, and stubbornly cling to the academic school in your heart, Liu Xu's Changkong Academy has been established for ten years, and it still hasn't broken you! The old man has to admire, you are amazing! ”
"There is no way in Guanzhong, and Liu Xu doesn't have the patience to continue playing with you, "Hundred Family Names" can be said by you to be Liu Xu's stealing of the achievements of his ancestors, and he is not allowed to teach this Wenhua to Nanban, okay, people don't need it now, do you know what people are learning now? "Zengguang Xianwen", have you ever heard of what this is? It's a children's rhyme! The little ones started singing! ”
"In the past, virtuous texts, teachings and earnestness, gathering rhyme to expand, seeing more and hearing more, looking at the present should learn from the past, no ancient is not the present! This is the enhancement of the virtuous text, sprinkled with nearly 4,000 words, although it seems to be messy, but it contains the way of filial piety and respect for the teacher and goodness! Do you know why Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Tianshi rushed to the Jin State Mansion, do you think he went to thank him because of the Ganye Temple case? That's because of this, because this is an article based on Taoist thought and covering Confucian thought! Why don't people get it out in Chang'an, because you won't let it! Therefore, people go to Yuezhou, where as long as His Majesty nods, it is he Liu Xu who has the final say, you are not allowed to teach him the thousand-character text of the surname of the hundred families, and people use Taoist things, okay? On top of today's books, the person who organizes them is Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Tianshi! Go and fight against him! ”
"Last year's Ming Jing exam, it was the old man's question, the article, the Hongwen Pavilion, that is a cluster of flowers, the head of the talk is the Tao, but when it comes to arithmetic, policy questioning, out of ten, eight or nine are talking nonsense there! Those few simplified Persians, you just say that it is demon science, then arithmetic is always asked by the university, the formula formula, the Changkong Academy is not hidden, it is all public, you still don't learn, the performance standards of a place, this has been changed for a few years? You're still the same as before! Hey, do you know what the students of Changkong Academy think of you Hongwen Pavilion now? Bumpkin! People are ashamed to test with you! ”
"Okay, you don't learn, but now the southerners are learning happily, when the old man went to Yuezhou with His Majesty, he once saw such a scene, a bare-ass child, outside smashing stones for a while to make a living, and then ran outside the classroom to listen for a while, what to learn, is what you don't want to learn, people earn money in their hands, and they still read sage poems in their mouths, the old man dares to say, it won't take long, another ten years, or even five years, and when that group of little guys grow up, Yuezhou, you can catch up with Chang'an directly!"
"Hehe, the old man doesn't know if you will feel scared and ashamed, anyway, the old man is afraid, since you are still sticking to the past, the old man will not persecute you, I will suggest to Your Majesty that Yuezhou be designated as the southern capital, because, the people of Yuezhou, everyone respects Your Majesty in their hearts, since this is the case, why not have some comfort with them? Nandu, that's where they belong! Hehe, everyone, Chang'an is too old, it has to make people feel a little moldy, my eldest grandson Wuji's political achievements, I won't look for it here, I will go to Luoyang, I will go to Yuezhou, you, do it yourself! ”
