"Go to sea to find immortals?" Liu Xin couldn't help crying and laughing, waved his hand and said, "Are immortals so easy to find?" Even if you can find it, you should go to heaven to find it, what's the use of going to sea. When people in the world find immortals, they are nothing more than trying to live forever, or they can also ascend on the ground. In fact, what's so good about being a fairy, Qionglou Yuyu, it's cold in high places, don't do it. ”

The story of Qin Shi Huang sending Fang Shi Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls to the sea to seek immortals has long been widely spread, so when Liu Xin asked Gan Ning if he could go to the sea, Gan Ning's first reaction was that Liu Xin wanted to seek the elixir of life. And most of the people here also have the same idea, otherwise for no reason, how could Liu Xin think of letting Gan Ning go to sea.

There are not a few emperors in the past who want to live forever, and the act of seeking immortals and visiting medicine must be a waste of money in the eyes of the wise. Hearing that Liu Xin had no such plan at all, Fu Zhu, Mi Zhu and others were secretly relieved. Frustrated, he arched his hand and said: "It's a good place to be cold, the lord is wise!" However, overseas are all barbarian lands, why did the lord want to let General Gan go to sea? ”

Guangling, Wu County, and Huiji County are all close to the sea, and since these places have fallen into Liu Xin's hands, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to train the navy. Of course, Liu Xin can't tell everyone that he did this so that he could one day discover the New World and get corn, peppers, sweet potatoes and other crops from South America. Moreover, even if you tell everyone these things, everyone will not be able to understand them for a while, and they will ask Liu Xin how he knows these things. Liu Xin's current purpose is only to train a navy, and as for what he wants the navy to do, it will not be too late to say it later.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin had to smile and said: "The sea is inclusive, the real navy should go to the sea to experience it, and it is difficult to become a big weapon after all if you nest in these small places like rivers all day long." I just don't know if our general Xingba has the guts? ”

Gan Ning couldn't stand Liu Xin's agitation, his chest was pounding, and he said with a grin: "What about the sea? Yunmeng Daze is vast, and the last general is not still coming and going freely! As long as the lord gives an order, the last general will definitely point to Penglai. ”

Zhou Tai said disdainfully: "Xingba, you haven't seen the world, how can Yun Mengze compare with the endless sea!" ”

Liu Xin perked up when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Youping, have you ever been to sea?" ”

Zhou Tai said embarrassedly: "Back to the lord, the last general was in Wu County for a generation, and sometimes he was forced by the officials and soldiers to be in a hurry, so he had to avoid the sea. The sea is endless, and there is no wind and three feet up, especially when encountering a storm, people who go to sea are dead! Therefore, the last general has always only been close to the shore, but he does not dare to go far. ”

Liu Xin nodded and said, "I don't want to rush for quick success, and it's not easy to practice in the offshore area first." Youping, in your opinion, these ships of the navy may go to the sea? ”

Gan Ning heard Liu Xin turn the focus of his inquiry to Zhou Tai, and he was a little angry in his heart, and interjected: "What's wrong with this?" Our largest building ship is five stories high, are you still afraid of the wind? ”

Zhou Tai obviously knew more about the situation at sea, smiled, and said: "General Xingba has never experienced a storm, and after two months, when there is a strong wind on the sea, my brother will bring it to see and understand, and then you don't cry dad and call mother!" ”

Zhang Fei and the others who were sitting in the hall let out a burst of laughter, Gan Ning's face turned red, he snorted coldly, and did not answer, indicating that he disdained to fight a lawsuit.

Liu Xin raised his hand, and the hall immediately fell silent. Liu Xin bowed his head and said: "Youping, you haven't answered my question yet, can those ships of the navy be used on the sea?" ”

Zhou Tai's expression fell, and he leaned over and said: "Back to the lord, according to the last general, although the ships of the navy are large, they are not suitable for sailing on the sea. ”

Liu Xin stood up, paced back and forth in the hall twice, suddenly looked at Zhou Tai, and said, "Youping, if these ships of the Navy are handed over to you to be transformed, are you sure that they will be able to adapt to the navigation at sea?" ”

Zhou Tai thought about it seriously and said: "The last general knows what kind of ships are suitable for sailing on the sea, but the last general will not make ships, and he does not dare to make big ones, so as not to miss the great affairs of the lord." ”

Liu Xin had a smile on his face and said, "It's okay, Jiangling Shipyard has experts in this area, you just need to guide them on what kind of ships are suitable for sailing on the sea." In a few days I'll send someone over and choose a suitable site here to build a new shipyard. ”

The military arrangements were soon settled. The Seventh Army Corps was stationed in the four counties south of the Yangtze River, and its main purpose was to force the Shanyue troops to move out of the mountains in accordance with the established policy. In order to ensure the smooth and complete completion of this matter, 20,000 men were transferred from the Fourth Army Corps to cross the Yangtze River and assist the Seventh Army Corps in setting up camps, and 40,000 troops were stationed in Jiangnan. The remaining 80,000 men of the Fourth Army were stationed in Xiapi and Guangling counties in Xuzhou, Lujiang and Jiujiang in Yangzhou, and Runan and Yingchuan in Yuzhou, guarding against Cao Cao from the south. The Second Army retreated to Jingzhou, and the First Army retreated to Sili and Liangzhou, guarding against Cao Cao from the west. The 3rd Army Corps withdrew to Xiangyang to recuperate.

Although Liu Xin has shifted the focus of construction to Chang'an and Luoyang, Jingzhou is still Liu Xin's base camp at present, so it naturally needs to be heavily fortified, so as not to repeat the mistake of being attacked by Lu Bu and Cao Cao. And the forces of Si, Liang, Xu, Yang and other states are somewhat weak. However, Liu Xin has already said that Cao Cao has not yet taken the courage to take the initiative to provoke trouble with him, and everyone believes in Liu Xin's vision, so there is no objection.

The biggest thing in the world is the military, and when the world is calm, we can talk about political affairs, and these newly defeated counties, how to appease the people and how to restore order, have their own set of ready-made methods, but there is no need to discuss them.

Just when everyone thought that this discussion was about to end, Liu Xin suddenly changed his words and said, "I still have a few appointments to announce here. ”

It turned out that Liu Xin had decided to restore the history of assassination in various states. However, the assassin history he appointed now is different from the assassin history of Liu Hong's era, and the assassin history he now appoints is not only to supervise the county officials, but also the highest governor of the administrative affairs of each state, but he only manages the people and does not care about the army, and he is not comparable to the position of state pastor in terms of authority.

Even so, the assassin was a rather important position, and Liu Xin implemented a measure to prevent corruption, that is, to serve in a different place. As a result, Yu Fu was appointed as the Assassin of Xuzhou, Zhang Zhao was appointed as the Assassin of Yangzhou, and Zhang Hong was appointed as the Assassin of Yuzhou. Yu Chuan and Zhang Hong are both talented and ambitious people, although they only have two counties under their jurisdiction, but it is enough for them to show their talents.

The situation in Yangzhou is different, all six counties are already under Liu Xin's control, and Zhang Zhao will definitely be able to do a good job, which makes Yu Fu and Zhang Hong envious. Who knows, Zhang Zhao was taken aback when he heard this appointment, and hurriedly got up and said: "Back to the lord, my subordinates may not be able to take on this responsibility, and I ask the lord to take back his fate." ”

Liu Xin was also quite puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Zibu, why is this?" ”

Zhang Zhao said solemnly: "Back to the lord, my subordinates recently inspected the topography of Yangzhou and found that there was a faint king's spirit in Moling, and my subordinates may not be able to suppress it." ”

Moling is the Nanjing of later generations, where the topography is the land of Wang Xing. Yu Fu and Zhang Hong didn't see this, but Zhang Zhao saw it. Zhang Zhao understands that if he can see it, others can also see it. And he didn't have a long time to join Liu Xin, and he didn't know how much Liu Xin trusted him, if he was framed in this matter, he couldn't say it clearly, so it was better to clear it earlier.

Of course, Liu Xin knew that Moling was the Nanjing of later generations, and after thinking about it a little, he understood why Zhang Zhao didn't dare to be the assassin of Yangzhou, and couldn't help laughing: "Zibu, Moling has the air of a king, so what's the matter?" Didn't Liu Yan say that Xichuan has the spirit of a king? Where are the others now? Reigning supreme? ”

Zhang Zhao didn't dare to be careless, arched his hand, and said: "Having said that, my subordinates think that they should still think of a solution to get rid of future troubles." ”

Liu Xin let out an "oh" and said, "What does Mr. Yizibu mean, how should we get rid of this trouble?" ”

Zhang Zhao said without thinking: "Destroy its city, dig its ground, and break its dragon vein!" ”

Liu Xin laughed and said, "Zibu, you are too petty. Moling City not only can not be destroyed, but also a large number of construction, I think, in the future, Yangzhou's governance office will be located in Moling. Well, the name Moling is not very good. Mr. Zibu is known to be talented, what do you think is the right name? ”

The sweat on Zhang Zhao's forehead came down, and he didn't know if Liu Xin's words were true or false, I was afraid that there were more ingredients to test him, who told him to be able to see that Moling had the air of a king? Zhang Zhao's intestines were all repentant, and he held back for a long time, and finally said: "Back to the lord, my subordinates think that Moling can be renamed Jianye." I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

Liu Xin nodded and said: "The name Jianye is indeed much more magnificent than Moling, but it is not enough, in my opinion, it is called Nanjing!" ”

Everyone present was shocked, and said in frustration: "Lord, what do you mean, do you have to move the capital of the Han Dynasty to this small tomb?" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "I am a big man, the land is vast and thousands of miles, how can one capital city be enough." Later, Chang'an was Xijing, Luoyang was the eastern capital, and Moling was Nanjing. ”

The hall became silent again, this capital city is the same as the emperor, since ancient times, there has only one country, how can there be a reason to make three capitals at once? Zhang Zhao felt even more frightened, and asked nervously: "Dare to ask the lord, what does this mean?" ”

Fu Zhu was the first to understand, and stroked his palms and smiled: "The lord is wise! ”
