Chapter 147: Be Prepared

In fact, where would Zhou Bian really drive Yan Gao away, but this person is really a little ashamed, if he doesn't kill his sharp spirit, he is afraid that he will persuade him at every turn in the future, just like the scholars of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, the emperor must do what he says, otherwise the emperor is mediocre, this habit is not good, so since he decided to absorb Yan Gao, Zhou Bian is ready to grind him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I only heard Zhou Bian say slowly, "This king has long been preparing to set up an official school, and my royal family has paid for it to teach the children of the clan and the outstanding among the children of the people, but what I am worried about is that I have not found a good teacher." If Yan Gongzi doesn't dislike it, then come to my official school to teach. As for what to teach, we will discuss it again, but the Analects and Spring and Autumn are indispensable. What does the Master think? ”

"The king is wise!" The ministers praised one after another. Even Yan Gao quietly showed his joy, spreading Confucianism openly, which is better than being an official, so Yan Gao couldn't help but be happy, which Zhou Bian himself didn't expect.

As a result, the first official school of Da Zhou was officially put on the agenda. After Yan Gao was ordered to retreat first, Zhou Bian discussed with the ministers before the meeting was dismissed.

Then Luoyang City was busy again, Ning Yue cheekily went door-to-door among the Luoyang nobles to persuade them to hand in crossbows and spears, but fortunately, most of them still supported the royal family and obediently handed over some, and as for whether there was anything hidden at home, then they would know it themselves, anyway, Ning Yue didn't dare to search it. In fact, this move is just a law, and no matter who hides it in the house and is caught, it is a major crime of rebellion, so whether or not to hide it, the heads of the family have to weigh it in their hearts.

The young master was also busy, and the entire army was greatly adjusted, which was a very big change, but fortunately, with the prestige of the royal army some time ago, it was General Tu of Luoyang, Li Ding of Mengjin, and Wang Yufei of Gongyi, all of whom cooperated, and Sima Tu of Chengzhou was naturally not a problem. So after the reorganization, Zhou Bian's hands held as many as 10,000 soldiers, General Long held 1,005 to guard Luoyang West City, General Tu held 1,000 and 5 to guard Luoyang East City, 3,000 people of the Royal Forest Army were divided into Pang Xing and Zichang, guarding the palace, 1,000 people of Cheng Zhou's division belonged to Sima Tu, 1,000 people of Gongyi belonged to Wang Yufei, 1,000 people of Mengjin belonged to Li Ding, and there were 500 palace guards, the captain was Lu Buxing, and 500 guards of the Son of Heaven were led by Zhou Mi. Although quite a few people were sent away, in general, the combat effectiveness rose. In particular, the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army is the best of the best, the best equipment, and only obeys the king's orders, Wang Sunjian, Liu Yun, Zhou Zhan and other fierce people are among them, it can be said that the Royal Forest Army is the most deterrent.

After this rectification, a few days passed, and Taishi and the others divided the soldiers into several groups according to the previous discussion, and went to work or train, which was a little chaotic at first, and even some soldiers were resistant, but they thought that they would be fine after a long time. Bai Gui also returned to Chengzhou, focusing on the industry, after all, so many soldiers still have to eat and get paid.

And Yan Gao's school has also officially opened, in fact, he didn't make much preparations, just took the mansion of a noble family that was confiscated not long ago as a school, Zhou Bian personally nominated Luoyang College and then opened the school, the first batch of students is naturally some of Yan Gao is currently taking with him, for these students, it is just a change of place. And for the nobles of the city, this news is a bit of a sensation, is this the king cultivating his cronies, so many families are tempted, after all, having money does not mean power, there are more rich families in Luoyang City who do not have people in the official government. But Zhou Bian didn't plan to expand so much, and only attracted the young children of some important ministers around him, as for other requirements, let's talk about it after the beginning of next year.

Everything has entered a steady development, so the law change is once again on the agenda. In fact, at this time in Luoyang, discerning people saw that it was imperative to change the law, so with the permission of the royal family, even some big families began to sell land, and the buyers were naturally the royal family. What should I do after these big families sell their fields, it is natural to do business, and it just so happens that the royal family has begun to sell the original Zhou Gong's industry, although the requirements for tax collection have been put forward, but the terracotta business is already profitable, such a big city, who has no groundbreaking thing, so as soon as the royal family started selling, it was immediately robbed, and the royal family only waited for the tax collection in the future, which can be regarded as a good start for the future royal family's tax law.

However, just when Zhou Bian and his ministers began to study how to start changing the law in Luoyang and even Gongyi, the arrival of a letter suddenly brought waves to the days that had just calmed down.

This letter is a secret letter, and it is naturally sent by Liu Qiu from Zheng Du.

After reading it, Zhou Bian fell into deep thought, but after a while, he slapped the table and shouted, "Come on, go and invite the Taishi, the young master, and Ning Yue!" Tell them to hurry up, there is something urgent. ”

The attendant immediately hurried out, and after a while, he saw Taishi and Ning Yue coming in together, but the breath was uneven, obviously running all the way, Zhou Bian suddenly apologized, Taishi is not very old, and he still ran like this, so Zhou Bian said with concern, "Master Taishi, I'm really sorry, I called you here in such a hurry, and I will give you a sedan chair in the future, so as not to tire Taishi." ”

Taishi immediately bowed his hand and said, "What did the king say, the old man was already in the front hall of the palace, and it was not far from here, so he could just walk, but Dr. Ning ran in from outside the palace, and he must be tired enough." I don't know what the king is in such a hurry to recruit us, the young master is still busy training outside the city, and he won't be able to arrive for a while. ”

Ning Yue also said eagerly, "The master has a trick, and the ministers dare not do their best." But I ask the king to show me what is going on. ”

Seeing that the two of them were in such a state, Zhou Bian was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't want to say more, so he handed over the secret letter that Liu Ruoshui had just translated in his hand, "Then take a look for yourself." ”

The Taishi took it suspiciously, glanced at it and said puzzledly, "King, our handling of the rebellious nobles was originally public, and it is normal for this news to reach Zhengdu in South Korea, I don't know what's wrong?" The Taishi did not inquire about the origin of this secret letter, he knew that the king had his own channels.

"Look at the point, it's the place where the king hooked with a lacquer pen." Before I finished reading, I still did such a thing as a big person, Zhou Bian said with a little dissatisfaction.

Hearing that Ning Yue also came up, the two quickly found the place where Zhou Bian lived, and the Taishi read it out, "Now there are still people in Zhengdu who are talking about it, saying that the royal family took advantage of the death of Duke Zhou to forcibly occupy Luoyang, but refused to give it to Duke Zhou's descendants, it is not authentic, how can there be a reason to come back to the city that has been sealed, if so, does the royal family want to go back to Zheng Du too?" ”

It was such a big vernacular, but it made the faces of Taishi and Ning Yue change, and Ning Yue said hurriedly, "Wang, is this news reliable?" Is it really what Zheng Duren said? ”

Zhou Bian nodded, "It's true." ”

"That's bad, this news is extremely bad for my royal family. My royal family is transcendent, and it is righteous that it should be above all the princes, but the royal family is extremely weak, and there is no power to fight back against the princes and countries. If it is rumored that my royal family wants to recover the sealed land, then the two kingdoms of Han and Wei will definitely be the first to refuse, and the spearhead of the world will undoubtedly point at my royal family. Taishi said worriedly.

It is true that if you eat something in your stomach, how can you be willing to vomit it out again, in real history, the Zhou royal family not only sealed the princes, but even the land of Wangji that they only managed was sealed out and rewarded a lot, otherwise how could the royal family be so weak now. And the royal family has also taken back very little, and there seems to be only one time in history.

However, Zhou Bian shook his head, the Taishi still saw the problem one-sidedly, so Zhou Bian set his eyes on Ning Yue again.

I saw Ning Yue frowning, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Isn't the prince the king worried about?" I am afraid that Han Hou will find back the Gongzi class, attack Luoyang in the name of recovering the Duchy of Zhou, and then drive the royal family back to Chengzhou and take the opportunity to control Luoyang. After all, the Duke of Zhou was also a prince before, and it was not uncommon for others to restore the country, and it was very likely that Korea would do so. Now that Zhengdu's public opinion is like this, I'm afraid that Han Hou is building momentum. ”

"Can't you? When my royal family returned to Luoyang not long ago, Han Hou didn't say anything? Taishi was still puzzled.

"At that time, Han Hou had just suffered a defeat, and he had to be quiet for a while, and he couldn't find a reason to say it. Next year, I'm afraid that next year South Korea will recover, and I will have to do it. Ning Yue explained.

"Hmph, at that time, my royal family strongly controlled the Gongzi class, so as not to give people an excuse, but you secretly let it go, otherwise how could Han Hou find the reason, and how could he worry about it today?" Taishi snorted coldly, at this time, he will also arrive at the child's class is the key point, if there is no child's class left, there is no name to start in Korea.

Ning Yue's face was embarrassed when he heard this, "Then it will be their own masters, and I didn't know that the royal family would return to Luoyang at that time." ”

The key to these problems, of course Zhou Bian knows, in fact, Zhou Bian is also secretly blaming himself in his heart, he was busy recapturing Luoyang, and did not immediately send someone to chase after Gongziban, and he was negligent for a while, and he actually buried the root cause, and he actually remembered this unstable factor when he saw Liu Qiu's secret letter today, which was really a mistake. However, Zhou Bian naturally didn't pursue anything more, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this." In fact, it's not that serious, now that my royal family has returned to Luoyang, including Wei and Qi and other big countries, they all know, if Han Hou really wants to move, he needs to weigh it, if he doesn't have enough benefits, he won't take the risk. But we must be on guard first, Ning Qing, it is the son-in-law class you let go, then you will send someone to recover it, rest assured, this king will treat him well. ”

"Yes." Ning Yue arched his hand and said.

"Also, now the ordinary people in Zhengdu are saying that my royal family is not, the so-called no wind and no waves, I am afraid that Han Hou will take risks, so the Taishi listens, we must be prepared. First of all, Jiang Ping was asked to send additional manpower to pay attention to the trend in South Korea. Second, we need to step up the training of soldiers. Third, speed up the repair of the Luoyang city wall, now my royal family still has a little spare money, and can spend money to let the surrounding people all come to help. Fourth, immediately sent someone to inform Bai Gui of Cheng Zhou, asking him to hurry up and buy more weapons, especially bows and crossbows, and he said before that he would get a craftsman who could make crossbows from Chu State, why there has been no movement. Zhou Bian said quickly.

"Yes." Knowing that the crisis is current, Taishi is not ambiguous.

Zhou Bian thought about it for a while and then said, "Forget it, you can't be busy if there are too many, Master Taishi, you will be responsible for the repair of the Luoyang City Wall, and I will tell him directly when the young master comes to train the soldiers." When I inquired about the news in South Korea, I also told Jiang Ping directly. As for Bai Gui, this king should send someone to Cheng Zhou to invite him over. ”

The Taishi naturally agreed again and again, arched his hand, and went down with Ning Yue. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ping also responded and took the order.

It didn't take long for the young master to arrive, but Zhou Bian put on his battle robe, "Let's go, young master, accompany this king to the barracks to have a look." "If you don't go to lecture in person, you're still not at ease after all.

As one order after another was issued, the big machine of the royal family increased its horsepower and ran desperately. What Zhou Bian didn't know was that at this time, in Zheng Du, South Korea, the indecisive Han Hou was having a headache for a difficult problem.
