"That's true." Liu Yuan nodded and said, "In recent years, the dark minions have gradually reached into the Kushan Dynasty and obtained a lot of detailed and precious information. In the previous years, the Western Qin and Rome had subdued the Slavic tribes and the Germanic people in its north, and in recent years, they had gradually used troops against the rest of the army, and they could not be defeated in peace, so they asked for help from the Kushan, so there was this alliance. ”

"Your Majesty, with all due respect." Chen Deng said: "The rise of our China in just a few years has nothing to do with the Silk Road. If this alliance leads to the cutting off of the Silk Road by Kushan and Anxi, then the losses are incalculable. ”

"I've thought about all of this."

Liu Yuan replied: "The Silk Road is an important surname for our Huaxia, this is obvious. But what about the frost and rest? We need to grab money and materials from the Silk Road, and they need my Chinese stuff even more! Tea, porcelain, and even blade armor! Therefore, before tearing the skin of the face, Guishan and Anxib will never cut off the Silk Road. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

"Your Majesty is very true." Xun Yu said: "When you have to tear your face, hehe, Guishuang and rest in peace, it's time to perish." At that time, the Silk Road was not something they said could be cut off. ”

"Haha, Wen Ruo knows my heart very well!"

Liu Yuan laughed.

"But it's going to have to wait, it's going to take time"

While he was talking, someone came to report. Said that a friend of Lusu came to visit.

Lu Su was stunned, weren't all his friends here, so he asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Zhou Gongjin, Pang Shiyuan and others."

"Oh!" Lu Su was stunned, but he looked at Liu Yuan.

"Let them come in and talk to each other." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

After a while, Zhuge Liang and others entered the door, but they saw that the emperor was the emperor, and all the important ministers were all present, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

"Come and sit down." Liu Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to signal a group of people to sit down.

"Meet Your Majesty." Everyone bowed and sat down together, but Pang Tong spoke first.

Pang Tong met Liu Yuan a lot because of Pang Degong's relationship, and he was a little familiar, so he had fewer scruples, so he said: "I was looking for Brother Zijing, but I didn't expect Your Majesty and all the adults to be there." ”

"Hehe, you're just in time." Liu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said, "I am discussing something with you, but I can't make up my mind, so you can refer to it?" ”

When Pang Tongyi and the others heard this, they all perked up and looked at Liu Yuan together.

Here's your chance!

Everyone has a word in their hearts.

It is an opportunity to show his face in front of the Son of Heaven and verify his talents.

"I want to use troops abroad, unite with Western Qin and Rome, and suppress Kushan and Rest. But for various reasons, you can't make up your mind, you can analyze and analyze the mystery? ”

Liu Yuan smiled, looking forward to it in his heart.

These people, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Xu Shu, etc., are not simple characters, maybe they can really come up with a foolproof strategy in the current situation.

"Your Majesty, I think it's not the time to send troops."

Pang Tong said: "Although the empire has developed greatly in just a few years, it is far ahead of the former Han in all aspects. But in general, there is still some lack of substance, and this is one of them. Second, the empire's territory is now one-third larger than that of the former Han Dynasty, which poses a certain challenge to the central court's ability to control. If you want to continue to expand your territory, it is a great problem to have complete control over the empire when it comes. ”

Liu Yuan bowed his head slightly and said, "So, Shiyuan, under what circumstances can you use troops externally?" ”

"At a time when the empire had a certain precipitation, and when the Academy of Sciences had made a great breakthrough in the research of means of transportation." Pang Tong said firmly.

"How long do you think this time will take?" Liu Yuan asked again.

Pang Tong frowned: "At least ten years!" ”

Liu Yuan nodded lightly.

When Xu Shu and the others heard this, their faces were full of disappointment.

Ten more years! Ten years later, several of them are nearly forty years old and old!

"Not necessarily!"

At this time, Zhuge Liang spoke.

"Oh!?"

The eyes of everyone present lit up.

Liu Yuan said: "Kong Ming, you say." ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "There is an immature method below, if it can be done properly, it should be able to use troops externally in a short period of time." ”

"Speak quickly!"

Xu Shu pushed Zhuge Liang hard, very eager.

"Your Majesty and all of you should know that the Zhou Dynasty divided the eight hundred princes." Zhuge Liang said: "Since it is difficult to control more land for various reasons, why not divide these lands and hand them over to other people to control?" ”

"You mean"

Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Zhuge Liang's meaning is that with foreign troops, all the territories conquered are sealed out and controlled by the prince or meritorious heroes, while the central dynasty indirectly controls these territories by controlling the princes.

Everyone here is not stupid, and they immediately understood. In an instant, almost half of the people had their eyes lit up.

Isn't it the greatest wish and goal of the people who have always been torn apart from the ground and sealed the marquis?

Although the Huaxia Dynasty did not ban the title, it castrated the fiefs of each title and completely nationalized the land, and the title only became an honorary title. Although his subordinates did not dare to complain in front of Liu Yuan, the very powerful Shenwu Emperor, they were also a little dissatisfied in private.

Fortunately, the officials are rich, and the income of the fiefdom is not bad. But the meaning of the fief is very important to the people of this era. So after listening to Zhuge Liang's words, except for a few people, everyone else was moved.

Liu Yuan squinted slightly, his mind turning sharply.

This Zhuge Liang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Although the advice he put forward solved the difficult problem of sending troops as soon as possible. However, it has led to even greater hidden dangers.

Liu Yuan was a strong emperor, and, like the founding emperors of the past, he wanted the dynasty he established to continue to develop, to be brilliant, and to be immortal. But if the territory is divided, it is the bottom line that he is most unwilling to have!

What he hates most is to fight a civil war.

After dividing the territory, when the central government is strong, there will be nothing to do. When the central government is weak, the surrounding princes will not only attack each other and fight hard, but also covet the central imperial power!

In this way, the country will not be a country, and the people will fall into dire straits!

"Hehehehe"

Liu Yuan smiled at this time and said, "This matter, there is no need to discuss it again!" I'm in the prime of life, and there's time to wait. When there is a breakthrough in the research of the Academy of Sciences, it is not too late to talk about sending troops! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all speechless.

"Empire, be whole. All land is owned by the state! That's the premise! ”

After that, Liu Yuan got up, smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk, I will go first." ”

Shenwu Emperor Liu Yuan left, but the entire house was silent.

"Hehehehehe"

Guo Jia smiled at this time: "Why do you think so much? The trip to the avenue, the world is for the public, Your Majesty has Your Majesty's considerations, hehe, I just hope you can stand in the interests of the country, think more, it's good, hehehe"

After Guo Jia finished speaking, he also stood up, glanced at Zhuge Liang meaningfully, and arched his hand to Lu Su again, saying, "I also take my leave." ”

In the palace, Liu Yuan closed his eyes slightly, sat on the dragon chair, and thought quietly.

And today's initial decision was made, but hidden dangers were revealed, which made him very uncomfortable.

His subordinates longed for the fief, but the fief was a cancer of the country's decline, which was really full of contradictions, which made him very depressed.

"In the end, ideology has not been converted!"

Liu Yuan sighed, shook his head, and put aside the unhappiness in his heart.

At this time, the guards reported that Guo Jia was here.

"Your Majesty."

Guo Jia entered the hall, bowed, and said, "Today's matter."

"It doesn't matter." Liu Yuan waved his hand and said, "The reaction of everyone was already expected by me. I just didn't expect it to come so quickly - the hole is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”

"Your Majesty has a solution?" Guo Jia was a little worried: "According to the performance of everyone today, it can be seen that most of the officials in the DPRK and China have this thought. If it's not handled properly, it's not good. ”

Liu Yuan nodded slightly: "This is a concept that has been formed for a long time, and if you want to reverse it in an instant, you really can't." It can only be worn out slowly. ”

Liu Yuan smiled: "Besides, with me, who can withstand the wind and waves!?" It is only necessary to strengthen propaganda and education, and slowly change their thinking and views. ”

"And what does Your Majesty mean?" Guo Jia nodded and asked again.

"I have decided to open a new course in the academy - ideological education." Liu Yuan pondered for a long time and said: "In addition, it should be good to let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Information inform the newspaper and ask it to publicize this and list the dangers of the fiefdom one by one." ”

"By the way, after the ideological education class was opened, the Manchu Dynasty took turns to study in civil and military affairs, and no one could refuse it for any reason. This matter will be handed over to Fengxiao to you to hold. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has a plan in his heart."

"That Kong Ming," Guo Jia said again.

"Kong Ming" The corners of Liu Yuan's mouth curled, and he smiled: "This time, I have to thank him." Hehe, he said that he made such a contradictory and sharp proposal in front of everyone, I think, he has no other meaning, and should remind me. In this way, how about letting Kong Ming be your secretary? ”

"Secretary?" Guo Jia was puzzled.

"It's usually to help you deal with some small things, serving tea and water." Liu Yuan said, laughing.

"Uh, okay."

The next time, all kinds of harms related to the fiefdom were overwhelming in the newspapers and swept the whole of Luoyang.

Then, this limelight, with Luoyang as the center, spread to all parts of the country.

The knightly official couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he read the newspaper.

But when the people saw it, they said yes again and again.

"But it turns out that the former Han died here!"

"Not exactly!" Some old people said: "I remember those years, Haoqiang and landlords annexed land by various means. Many people have no land to plant, so they have no choice but to sell themselves and farm for Haoqiang. However, Haoqiang's rent collection is too powerful, and he can't survive! Do you remember the yellow scarf more than ten years ago? Most of them are people who can't survive! ”

People agreed.

"If you want to say that this fiefdom is indeed very harmful."

An old master said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty divided the eight hundred princes, what happened later?" The princes are strong, but the suzerainty is being bullied! Spring and Autumn Warring States, you beat me, I beat you, for hundreds of years, what kind of life did people live! ”

"Just that's it"

"So, everyone has to support His Majesty's decision!"

"Yes, you must support!"

"Let's go, let's march!"
