Within a few days, Lu Bujun's family members were sent to the boundary of Hedong County. Her husband was not dead, and those who served in Guo Yijun went back to their respective homes. If her husband's whereabouts are unknown, whether she ran away with Lu Bu or died in battle, she remarried Guo Yijun's soldiers.

As for the families of the generals, they were all sent to Jinyang City to see if they could exchange some benefits from Lu Bu's hands.

Jia Xu accompanied Guo Yi on horseback roaming by the Fenshui River. The construction of Taiyuan City has been completed by about two-fifths, and it is a super city that can accommodate tens of millions of people! It is twenty kilometers long from north to south and ten kilometers wide from east to west. Bigger than the main city of modern Taiyuan City!

The east and west city walls are built along the mountain, and forts are set up and stacked with blue bricks. The main gate on the south side is only five kilometers away from Jinyang City, and the north side is adjacent to the mountain pass leading to the Xinding Basin.

Jia Xu had heard of the construction of Jiankang City, although he had not seen it. But from the appearance of Taiyuan City, one or two can also be estimated. asked: "Lord, Taiyuan is located in a remote area and the transportation is inconvenient. Build such a big city here, if there is a change in the world, and the rebellious ministers and thieves occupy this place, Guanzhong is in danger. ”

"I set this city to run the north. Xianbei is now unified. The Qiang are also on the verge of movement in the Hetao area. After pacifying the Central Plains, it is necessary to go north out of Yanmen and come to Longcheng. If this were not the case, would my Chinese sons and daughters have a day of rest? ”

Jia Xu nodded, he didn't comment on Guo Yi's eloquence. Any monarch who aspires to pacify the world will include the northern attack on the Xiongnu as a must-do. In the past few days, he has learned in detail about the affairs of the state, and if he continues to develop according to the current route, ten years later, even if the Central Plains has been unified, he will not be Guo Yi's opponent.

The size of the economy, technological inventions, and the national system, any one of them must be far ahead. So Guo Yi has confidence, he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

"My lord, we should take Liangzhou now. Yang Bo has an old relationship with the lord, or he can be convinced. ”

"I can't convince you!" Guo Yi shook his head, Yang Bo's Liangzhou is the person closest to him in terms of system, and he has cultivated it himself! But Yang Bo has not made any moves so far, but the time has not yet come. Hongnong Yang's family is located in Guanzhong, and Yang Bo has to have some concerns. But do you want to say that Yang will return to himself? Guo Yi is not so narcissistic.

"Yang Bo is not small, and he must be a prince. Our army should be slowly trying to figure it out. ”

"Definitely." Jia Xu retorted: "The Yang clan ancestral hall is in Hongnong, and the general can take Hongnong first." Send another cavalry. Follow the Yellow River into Liangzhou. Although Yang Bo has the talent to govern the country, he has no generals, and it is difficult to compete with the lord. As long as the lord deters and understands the reason, he will surrender. ”

Guo Yi asked, "If I take Guanzhong, where should the emperor go?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Li Dao and Guo Yan are both brave and unscrupulous, and the generals of Liangzhou also have ghosts. It only takes a year for it to fall apart. At that time. The lord only needs to guide the emperor to the princes of the Central Plains. ”

Guo Yi remembered that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was only mastered by Cao Cao around 196. The current position of Cao Cao Yanzhou is not solid enough, and he may not have the ability to support the emperor. And Yuan Shao wanted to set up a new emperor, and Yuan Shu wanted to be the emperor himself. This point will put the emperor in the past?

Plug it up! As long as Emperor Xian does not die in his own hands, can Cao Cao, who cares about him, be able to keep it!

"That's a good idea. We're just waiting for this opportunity. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "If you have Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and the lord has three counties, then the world is under control." Liangzhou is rich in heroes, which is enough for the military. ”

Guo Yi said: "More important than soldiers is the Silk Road. Export our products abroad in exchange for gold and silver. It is also necessary to go to Kushan and other countries to introduce cotton. There are too few of our native plants. ”

Jia Xu said strangely: "Since the Shang Dynasty, scholars have suppressed merchants in many ways. Why does the lord attach so much importance to industry and commerce? ”

"Agriculture is up to the sky, but it's just to fill the stomach. It is only industry and commerce that can make a fortune. Only when basic industry is developed will heavy industry be born. Now we are too young, and when we have the power and electricity, we will be able to move forward. To the east you can reach the Bering Strait, to the north to the North Pole, to the west to Rome and to the south to India. Our fleet will spread all over the world, turning all the lands we can see into our colonies, and letting the world's resources flow to our countries. ”

Jia Xu asked, "How many years will it take?" ”

"More than two hundred years." Guo Yi laughed and said, "If I can invent modern explosives, internal combustion engines and other technologies while I am alive, it can be reduced to ten years." ”

Jia Xu felt like he was listening to a daydream, in his worldview, the world was so big, and the farthest was only as far as the Western Regions. Guo Yi's plan for a global colony sounds a bit bizarre.

"In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, even the Western Regions could not be settled. The great ambition of the lord, I can only look up. ”

"That's a problem of the times!" Guo Yi said: "The first Han conquered the Western Regions by force, but did not assimilate them with culture. We are different. We have papermaking, we have printing, and if we can match it with firearms, the conquest of the Western Regions will only be in a blink of an eye. Then our books and newspapers will be delivered to these areas in a steady stream. Our religion, our thoughts, will also penetrate into these regions. When they were all assimilated into Han Chinese, they no longer had to worry about domination. ”

"As for racial differences. Then don't worry about it at all. Today, the Central Plains is the region with the highest grain production and the most densely populated area. It only takes a hundred years to assimilate their bloodline! I wouldn't make the same mistake as Rome! ”

Guo Yi has no interest in a country like Rome. Just like modern American imperialism, there are 200 million Americans, but there is not a single American nation. Rome grew from a small city to a large country. The Romans were also nothing more than a political concept, and when the empire existed, the Romans existed, and when the empire fell, so did the Romans.

You can never expect a black man in Africa, a Persian in Central Asia, an Italian in the Apennines, a Germanic in Western Europe, or a Celtic in England to become a "Roman nation" after gaining the citizenship of Rome.

In the Eastern world, the races and tribes of this land have become Huaxia under the cultural influence of the Xia and Shang dynasties. After hundreds of years of war, as well as the unification of the two Han Dynasty for 400 years, it evolved into a stronger centripetal force of the Han nationality.

At present, the people of the world do not have the concept of "nation", but as long as the concept of "nation" is conveyed to every commoner. In just ten years, a huge nation with tens of millions of "clansmen" is enough to assimilate any ethnic group!

Back at the mansion, Jia Xu found Fan Xin, "Master Fan, I don't know something. ”

"Please."

"Today's lord once said that colonizing the whole world, a certain stupidity, please ask Lord Fan for some advice."

Fan Xin laughed, took him outside, pointed to the school in the distance, and said, "There has been no war during this time, you can go to the school to study." By the way. ”

Fan Xin stomped his feet and said, "The land under our feet is called the earth. It is not a round place, but a sphere. Go for the observatory telescope. If you don't find Chang'e and the laurel tree, don't be disappointed. ”
