In the past, Gao Shun didn't like the New Year very much, because it was too troublesome just to sacrifice, but now that he has the eldest son to take on a large part of the work for him, he likes the excitement of the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year last year, the military divisions were stationed in various places, and the state pastors and assassins basically went to Yecheng for the New Year; This year is just the opposite, the state pastor and the assassin are on duty, and all military divisions have returned to Yecheng for the New Year.

At noon on the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Gao Shun hosted a banquet at the Duke of Wei's Mansion to entertain the military divisions, accompanied by all the civil and military generals of Yecheng.

Kong Rong, a new grandson, under the pretext of seeing his grandson, arrived in Yecheng with his family, and he was also among the banquets.

Now it has been changed to a large round table, and there are Gao Shun on the main table, as well as Kong Rong, Cheng Li, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, a total of eight people at a table.

The female family members were in the backyard and were received by Xu Ting and others.

Chen Lin sat alone at a table for the record.

Kong Rong asked first: "Duke Wei, why did you give your grandson such a strange name as Gao Hongtao?" ”

Gao Shun explained: "Gao is the surname, Hong is the generation, and Tao is the name, what's wrong? There are more and more people in the world, a single name, it is easy to repeat, this only adds a word, it is much more convenient, and the probability of repetition is much smaller, so we should not be limited to the existing rules, the situation of the times has changed, and it is natural to follow the changes; In particular, the word "tao" is selected after thinking for a long time, water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, and it is beneficial to use it properly, on the contrary, there must be disadvantages, how to maintain long-term stability, it needs to rely on personal wisdom. ”

Confucianism made Gao Shun both love and hate, so he wanted to guide the exhibition of Confucianism.

Kong Rong still wanted to ask, but Gao Shun stopped and said: "There are many people today, happy for the New Year, everyone can ask me a question, I can't ask more, otherwise others will have no chance, and then I will discuss it afterwards." ”

Fu Zhu is most concerned about the army, and now there are more eliminated, and he doesn't know Gao Shun's next goal, so he asked: "My lord, now that the world has been decided, what are your plans for the number of troops stationed in various places in the future?" ”

Gao Shun decided to adopt the practice of later generations, so he replied: "Yecheng should garrison a fine army of horses and infantry as a key force to stabilize the world; Each state must garrison an infantry and a cavalry, but these are under the direct jurisdiction of Yecheng, not the local jurisdiction; Each prefecture and county should also establish a certain number of troops according to their location, which will be used by local administration to maintain law and order and defend passes, the exact number of which is to be discussed; If there are too many officers and soldiers, it will increase the burden on the people, and if the army is too small, it will not be able to maintain stability. ”

When those military attachés heard this, they were no longer worried that they would have no soldiers to bring in the future, nor that their juniors would lose their jobs, and they could continue to serve Gao Shun.

Guo Tu said bluntly: "My lord, the existing policy of progressive taxation of cultivated land, under the strong military pressure, the big family is powerless to resist, and does not dare to resist, if it is disarmed, the number of troops is reduced, and the control of the government is weakened, it will inevitably make the human race ready to move, which will lead to social turmoil." ”

Gao Shun didn't care about everyone's mentality, and said with a smile: "Haha, after a few generations, will there be a big family?" The big family, will only become a moth in society, as the saying goes, rich but three generations, with a strong family foundation, the younger generations often lie in the shadow of the ancestors, inaction, in this way, it will inspire everyone to work hard, this is the reason why I take the martial arts selection, and then there will be a literary selection, to provide an upward channel for the people of the world. ”

Gao Shun respected these strategists very much, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control them, so that Yuan Shao's strategists were infighting, so they were scattered all over the place, Yecheng left Xi Zhicai as the main and Jia Xu as the deputy, and the Xi Zhicai was less qualified, and he did not have the power to directly order everyone, and he must have Gao Shun's permission to give orders and reach a kind of checks and balances.

Jia Xu has a kinship, if this is the case, there is indeed no living environment for the existence of the big clan, and the government will not be threatened by the big clan.

Guo Jia asked, "My lord, do you have any suggestions for the central region of Kainan?" ”

Gao Shun said: "I have planned for this issue for a long time, and after the year, I plan to personally command the army with Meng Wen, Meng Zhen and others to pacify the central and southern counties, and this matter does not need Yizhou to participate." ”

This made Guo Jia very helpless, they made a lot of contributions to the Nanzhong region, and the results they received were already good, if Gao Shun didn't need them to participate in the affairs of Nanzhong in the future, wouldn't they have wasted their efforts?

Everyone fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons of their respective families and the direction of their families.

Gao Shun didn't want to be cold, so he said: "The world is big, not the more than a dozen states of the Han Dynasty that we know; If it is the area of 6 lands, there are more than 50 Han dynasties in the world, if you count the area of water, the area of hundreds of Han Dynasty, the west of the Western Regions, there are still a large number of countries, and some countries are not inferior to us, or even stronger than us; The things in the world are strange, and there are many kinds of people in the world, there are people with white skin like paper, there are people with black skin like ink, there are yellow-headed people, and there are red-headed people, so we must look farther and not be limited to the dozen states in front of us. ”

Liu Ye objected: "My lord, although the world you said is big, but only our Central Plains region is suitable for living, the north is cold, the west is dry and sandy, the southwest is mountainous, and the south is full of miasma." ”

Gao Shun knew: "Haha, it seems that Ziyang has thought about it, yes, although the world is big, the Central Plains is also suitable for farming and life; But this is just the appearance, just because it opened early, if it is suitable for farming, Yangzhou can be two crops per year, Guangzhou and Jiaozhou can be three crops per year, if it is opened well, only the grain produced in Yangzhou and Guangzhou can feed tens of thousands of people, and the potential is huge. ”

Liu Ye asked again: "My lord, the water and soil in Nanzhou are warm and hot, and there is miasma, and the northerners go to the south, and the people who die must be four or five out of ten, even if the local people are alive, there are a large number of people who die from miasma every year, so what can I do?" ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and explained: "There is a lot of water in the south, and many places are stagnant water, and there is a very small insect growing in these stagnant waters, which is very small, so when drinking water, you must boil it, and you can't drink raw water; Secondly, to kill mosquitoes, there must be mosquitoes where there is miasma, and the infected person must have been bitten by mosquitoes; Finally, seek medical attention promptly. ”

Liu Ye asked in surprise: "Lord, can the poison of the miasma be cured after it?" ”

Gao Shun said affirmatively: "Yes, but it can't be too late, if you miss the best time, the divine doctor can't save it." ”

Everyone was very curious, and Liu Ye asked again: "Lord, you haven't been to the south, why do you know so much?" ”

Gao Shun said: "Haha, this is why I spent such a high price to save Luoyang and Dongguan books; There are a lot of valuable things in it, but they can't be used, and now there are hundreds of people in Dongguan, sorting out the scriptures and materials there; Among them, there is "Shennong's Materia Medica", which can only be passed on by the doctor's mouth before, so that it is full of errors, and such a precious medical scripture is lying in the East, being shelved and not valued, and now I have asked the divine doctor to check each prescription, if it is finished, it will be published, the world, and the benefit of all generations. ”

Gao Shun didn't know if Dongguan had this book, but he remembered that in his previous life, there was a scientist who extracted the drug for the treatment of malaria and won the Nobel Prize because of the prompt of a prescription in the Eastern Han Dynasty medical book. Now Hua Tuo is asking him to verify each prescription, drug, and condition.

Gao Shun couldn't help but sigh that there were many more mosquitoes in the Eastern Han Dynasty than in later generations.
